Time Heals-Chapter 3
Minimerc: Thanks for reviewing! But sorry to say, I already have a couple in mind, if I decide to make this in the least a romance. It's a 50/50 chance.
Airlady: Glad you like! Thanks for the Review!
GracedAngel1854: Thank you for reviewing. This lowly authoress does not deserve such praise! I did review! =P And I have an idea as to if the Scouts get back together or not. It all depends on the mood I'm in when writing!
Kaiya: Thanks for the review! You'll see why I had Setsuna made it seem as if it was the scouts fault! I have a plan in mind!
Juni Juni: Yes, it was a rouge Youma. And as for the 'coldness' of the scouts, I was going more for anger, and I have ideas that I may use to get them together again.
Sailor Element: 8 of 10? Wow! I must be doing something right! Whee! Thank you kindly for the review! And I'm trying to get these chapters out ASAP. But I'm also helping with a total remodel of my house....new walls and more...ugg....so it may take a bit between chapters.
Selfless: Thanks for the review! Hope ya like this chappie!
Disclaimer: Again? Fine! I don't own anything of this magnificence! There! Happy?!
Note: I'm not a fan of Relena. I don't hate her, but I don't like her either. But for the duration of this chapter at least, I'm having her behave like a spoiled, jealous brat.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It was the day that these boys were coming over. As it was, they were in fact, supposed to be there any minute. But still, Ami sat in her room. 'Should I meet these people? Mr. Millardo said they were in the war, and that it would be something that we all would have in common.' Glancing out at the sunset, Ami sighed. 'It's going to be a long evening. I'd better go before Ms. Relena nags Mr. Millardo to death.'
As Ami was walking down the hall that led to the stairs that led to the main doors, she heard Relena give an ecstatic shout. "HEERO!" Ami flinched. 'I feel so sorry for that poor guy.'
She peered around the corner, trying to get a glimpse of the new guests with out being seen. There were five guys in all. All of them different.
The first one she noticed was the poor guy that Relena had the death grip on. Dark brown hair and an expressionless face.
The next one was radiating so much anger, that Ami was forced to look him over next. Midnight hair, and a very deep set scowl.
Then was the one with the long chestnut hair that was pulled back in a braid. He was grinning like an idiot.
The last two did not stand out very much. One had non-descript brown hair that fell into his face, obscuring half of it. The other had bright, almost bleached blond hair. He looked as if he was worried about something.
'Ok, I've seen them, now I'm going back to my room.' Ami told herself. But just as she was turning to follow her own orders, a lilting voice shouted out "Hey! Who's the Babe?"
Ami flushed while everyone else turned to look up at her. She heard Relena give a soft snort. "She's just the other guest here. Now, Heero, What have you been up to lately? Why haven't you tried to kill me lately?"
Millardo on the other hand, answered them with greater detail. "Her name's Ami. And she has her own reasons for being here."
Ami noticed that he was glaring at 'Heero.' "So do not hassle her about that!" he almost growled.
Ami smiled inwardly, still frozen at the corner of the hallway. He was behaving like he was her brother. 'It's kind of nice' Ami thought. 'I never had an older brother before.'
"Hey Ami! Why don't you come down here! I want to say 'Hi!'" Duo was shouting.
Relena shushed him. "You don't need to yell in the house. It's rude!"
Ami almost grinned. 'So there IS someone who can get under that girls skin. That's good to know.' Deciding that there was no real reason for her not to introduce herself, Ami quickly, but gracefully descended the stairs.
Duo was at the bottom waiting for her. In an exaggerated bow he told her that it was great to meet a gorgeous girl like her.
Ami nodded her head, a slight smile on her face at his comment. "It is nice to meet all of you. Ms. Relena and Mr. Millardo speak very highly of you."
"Hey M-man! What you been saying 'bout me?" Duo shouted back at Millardo. Who, in turn, only smiled back at him.
After being introduced to all five guys, who in turn said 'Hi' back or nodded curtly, they all semi-marched into the living room.
Ami didn't spend much time listening to their conversation. It was about their daily lives, and since Ami wasn't really familiar to this time yet, she was lost in minutes. Instead, she was looking out the window again. Only this time, instead of watching people, or the sunset, she was staring at the stars, wondering what the others were doing. Ami then chided herself. She was in the far future. They were long dead by now.
She sighed softly, thinking of what might have been. 'Crystal Tokyo...Chibi- Usa...I'll never get the chance to see either again.'
Ami didn't rouse from her thoughts till the blonde, Quatre, tugged on her sleeve. "Miss Ami, I'm sorry for disturbing you, but it's time for dinner."
Ami nodded. "Thank you, but please, don't call me 'miss'. 'Ami' will do just fine."
Quatre nodded as they both entered the dinning room where Duo was loudly protesting that he should have been allowed to go get Ami.
Almost as if trying to placate him, Ami sat down right next to Duo, who unfortunately, had to sit next to Relena as well.
Dinner was a quiet affair thanks to Relena, who glared at anyone who dared try to start a conversation. So, she glared mostly at Duo. Who in turn, had acquired a manic look in his eyes. Almost like he was plotting mischief, which of course, he was.
After dinner was over, Ami tried to quietly excuse herself, but everyone who spoke on a normal basis, asked her to stay. The most vehement of voices was again, Duo.
They had all trouped back into the living room to talk once more, but this time talk became rather stressed. As if they were trying to skirt around some topic. It wasn't until Millardo had stood and told them that Ami had been in the war and had his full confidence and that they could speak freely in front of her.
The guys looked skeptical, but nodded. That is except for Wufei. He just muttered something about onnas being weak.
Ami had caught this comment and sent an ice filled glare back at him.
The others started re telling their stories about the war. How they felt, what happened ect. But when they turned to Ami wanting to know about her experience, she looked away.
"I'd rather not talk about it." Was all she said. Duo started whining. "But babe! We shared our stories! Please tell!?!" Ami glanced at him, the pain that she felt filled her eyes for a split second before falling empty again. "For you, the war was over a while ago, but for me, it was hundreds of years ago, and just last month." A true answer that only one person in the room understood.
With that last comment, Ami fled the room. She didn't want to talk about her past yet. It was still not far enough away to tell with out bursting into tears. And anyway, she had told Millardo about it. All about it. So, he at least would help keep questions at bay.
Before she crawled into her warm bed for the night, Ami glanced once more out her window. This time at the moon. "Usagi....." Before her tears could spill out, Ami clambered into bed and fell into a dreamless state. One that she was very happy to be in.
The next morning Ami zombie walked into the kitchen for some cereal, totally forgetting that they had guests there. Clad only in an oversized royal blue shirt, she pulled out a bowl, oblivious to the other person in the room. It was only when she heard an 'Ahem' that she focused on her surroundings.
Quatre was in the room. Blushing furiously, she stammered out an 'I'm sorry' before racing back to her room for some more decent clothing.
Ami was very glad that it hadn't been Duo in the room. He probably would have been hitting on her if he had been there. 'What would I have done if he HAD started hitting on me?' she asked herself. No answer.
When she reappeared back into the kitchen, she was glad that Quatre was still the only one in the room. She apologized once more, and explained that she had forgotten that they were there.
Quatre nodded at her explanation. He too was glad Duo was not there. He would have felt sorry for the girl to be hit on this early in the morning. Especially since she seemed emotionally broken. It was something he could relate to. Remembering his father and his sister, he closed his eyes in remembered pain.
'Her eyes look like what the others said mine looked like.' He thought to himself. 'What could have happened to such a woman to have that happen to her?'
He never got the chance to ask as the one and only Duo entered the room looking as if he was a zombie. That is until he caught sight of Ami.
"Hey gorgeous! The sight of you has made my day one of the happiest in my life!" he said in a sing song voice.
Ami smiled slightly and shook her head. Then a wicked idea sprang into her head and she smirked evilly. Opening the ice box, she grabbed a few cubes and started to walk out of the room, passing Duo as she walked out.
Duo felt a tug on the back of his shirt, then yelped as the ice tumbled down his shirt. He started jumping up and down yelping "COLD COLD COLD!" as he tried to get the ice out.
When he finally got all of it out, he turned to glare at Ami, only to find her giggling at the door way. Grinning like a fool, he sauntered over to her.
"So....since you iced me? How about I get you some Ice Cream this afternoon?"
Ami was shocked. He was asking her out? No way!
"Not as a date or something, but just so I can get to know the only person who's been able to get the drop like that on me"
Ami let out the breath she was holding. 'Whew! I don't know him enough to go on a date with him. Besides, I don't deserve to date.' Thinking hard, she asked herself if she should go or not. It would be fun, but should she be allowed to have fun after what happened?
Deciding that it couldn't hurt, she nodded once. "Alright!" Duo shouted! "3 sound good?"
Ami nodded once as the others came in, wondering what all the shouting was about.
