A Snipers Magic Bullet

~Chapter Four: Disaster in the Eyes of the Beholder~

            The next morning Schwarz awoke to the sound of something sizzling.  He couldn't remember when he had last smelt the wonderful fragrances of bacon floating in from the kitchen to his bedroom.  He knew for a fact that Cloy must be up cooking because when ever Josh, as good of a cook he is, made bacon he burnt it.

            Schwarz sat up and took off the old mask he had on and put a fresh clean one on, same style though.  This one was only a half mask as well.  He got up and put a shirt on and came out into the kitchen where he saw Cloy with her back to him taking care of the food.

            He quietly came up behind her to possibly startle her, but before he could get his hands on her she said "Don't even think about it."  Keeping her eyes on the food in front of her.

            "How did you know I was there?" he asked as he slipped his arms around her waist.

            "I'm a demon wolf remember.  I can hear a pin drop a mile away.  You weren't hard to pick up."  She replied as she got the bacon out of the pan and onto the plate.

            "Listen, I'm sorry I avoided the subject last night.  It's just a very touchy subject with me." He said, apologizing for his mysteriousness last night.  Now that he had thought of an efficient excuse to tell her other then what he was really feeling.

            "It's quite alright Schwarz. I understand it's hard to remember memories of tragic events." She relied, still not looking up at him.

            "Are you angry at me?" he asked, out of the blue

            "No, not at all.  Just busy."  She replied.

            "alright." he agreed. And then sat to see what she had made them for breakfast.  He looked at the wonderful platter of food and then up at her saying "Wow, you sure went out of your way."

            She finally smiled and said "I know how men can have large appetites."  She said, and then sat to eat her food next to Schwarz.  "I think that we should work on that last attack I shot at you when I hurt you.  So I can learn to tone it down just a little." She said, getting right down to business.

            "Aren't you going to ask me about what has been troubling me?"  He asked, very curious why she didn't pick up where she left off last night.  He knew her to be a very curious creature.

            "No, it's your business and yours alone.  But if it will make you feel better to talk about it, what's been troubling you?" she asked, for his sake more then hers.

            He nodded and said "well, I knew this girl, her name was Trisha Forge.  She was a dear friend of mine and she was killed."  He replied.  "All and all", he thought, "it isn't a lie, she did die and it does trouble me.  It's just not the biggest thing troubling me."

            "I'm sorry Schwarz, I didn't know."  She said, with kindness and worry in her eyes.

            Schwarz looked back down into her eyes and Cloy realized something, she recognized those eyes. They were a little darker then she remembered, but they were the same, exactly the same as Kyoji Kasshu's.

            All in one motion she grabbed the end of Schwarz's mask and yanked it up revealing what she already knew. "KYOJI?!"

            He sighed as he put his head down in his hands thinking "great, I lied to her, more then once, and lied to domon, now it's all coming down in flames, the world is doomed."

            "KYOJI?" she said again. "WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU DOING?"  She asked in a raised tone.

            "I know what this look likes but it's not what it seams Cloy hone…" he was cut off when Cloy slapped him right across his face.

            "Don't you call me honey, you lied to me.  How could you lie to me?"  She asked.

            "Because I didn't know how you would react and it has to stay a complete secret to Domon."  He replied. "Besides, to tell the truth, I'm not really Kyoji."

            "What do you mean you're not really Kyoji?" she asked, calming down.

            Schwarz sighed as he ran his fingers through his messy brown hair and said "Kyoji is still in the dark gundam where he's been this whole time.  He sort of cloned himself.  Right now I'm a part of him.  I'm his eyes, ears, all his senses.  And I have all his memories and his looks." He quickly explained.

            Cloy dropped her arms and said "so it's true, he is in the dark gundam?" 

            Schwarz could feel her heart breaking even from where he stood.  He strode over to her and completely encircled her in his arms and began to rock her gently "I'm sorry.  I'll tell you everything."  He said, and he did.  He sat her down and told her ever single detail about what happened.  About Ulube.  How he, or should we say, Kyoji had to take the dark gundam.  Then about how the dark gundam went haywire and took Kyoji as the pilot and is keeping him prisoner. 

            And the last thing he told her was how he was training Domon to beat the dark gundam by killing him and Kyoji to do it and how it had to stay secret to him.  Some time between the beginning and the bed of the part about Domon, Cloy started to sob in his arms. "No, it can't be true; he can't be killed just to stop the dark gundam.  There has to be another way, there has to be."

            "There isn't Cloy honey.  I and Kyoji have been over it 50 times at least.  This is the only way we've found."  Schwarz replied.  Gently holding her in his arms and let her soak his shirt with her tears.  "Another reason Kyoji didn't want me telling you was that he was afraid you wouldn't love him anymore."  Schwarz whispered softly against her hair.

            "Not love him anymore.  That's insane; I will always love him deep in my heart.  No mater what happens."  She said, silently sucking up the tears and whipped away the rest.

            Schwarz couldn't stand to see her in so much pain.  In the time that he had spent with her and the time that Kyoji had told him that she needed him at the moment, she had grown on him.  The same way she'd grown on Kyoji.

            He just couldn't stand this so he planed to erase her memory of what he had just told her.  But he decided that he would leave the memory of Kyoji alive in her mind forever.  He knew it would be hard on her to keep remembering everything so even Kyoji agreed with him.  She slowly cried herself to sleep in his arms and he knew this was the best chance he'd get to do what needed to be done.

            He laid her down in bed gently and got out a few needles and tubes for what he had to do.  He gently slipped an IV needle under her skin in her hand and hooked it up to a bag of fluids.  Introducing the drug into her system had to be slow and easy, so to allow just enough in her system.  He quickly stabbed the bottle of drug with a syringe and drew up just enough needed, then slipped the needle into the junction between the bag and her hand and hesitated for a moment.

            He put his hand on her forehead and softly caressed her hair. "I'm so sorry for this my dear.  But I can tell it hurts too much for you to go on knowing what you know.  Besides, it would be much safer for you and I in the long run."  He planted a kiss on her forehead, let it linger, and then returned to the syringe sticking out of the conjunction in the IV tube and shoved the plunger all the way down until all the liquid was into the bag and it was slowly making its way to her.

            He then went around and sat by her, scooping her up into his arms and held her for the rest of the night.
