Disclaimer: I don't own gundam wing... I would like to.... *Snaps back to reality* Ok, so I don't own Gundam Wing, but Aini, Kiana, and any additional characters are mine.

This is my first fanfic, so please be nice. This is a story about a fifteen- year-old girl. She has a brother, but she hasn't seen him since she was four. She gets trained to fight, and becomes good. She often suffers from flashbacks. This story is mostly composed of her flashbacks from when she was younger.

Chapter 1

A girl of about 15 is walking down a dimly lit street. It is getting late into the

evening and fairly cold outside. People are going into the houses that line the street, as

they realize that a storm is coming. A young mother calls to two children, a boy and a

girl, telling them to come inside and eat dinner. The boy looks at his sister and playfully

pushes her, challenging her to a race. The two youngsters run inside the house laughing

and playing all the way. The girl watches this with a passive face; but if someone were to

look closely, there seems to be a wistful look lingering in her Prussian blue eyes.

She walks a little farther and stops where a patch of light from inside a house is

shining into the street. She looks in through the window and sees a family. They seem to

be sitting down to dinner. They are all smiling, genuine smiles. They bow their heads for

a brief moment and then start to eat. Again there is no apparent response from the girl,

and she continues walking.

Finally, she comes to an unlit house, which appears to be deserted. She takes out a

key and slips in into the lock, letting herself in. She doesn't turn on any lights, but goes

into the basement instead. Once there she turns on a light to reveal an assortment of

electronic equipment and weaponry. The basement is sparsely decorated. There is a

simple bed in the corner and a very small closet beside it for clothes. The girl looks

around silently for a moment and says to herself, "Ah, home, sweet home." She tries to

blank out the image of that family and succeeds, but she can't seem to block out the

image of those two children. She suddenly feels weak and sits down. "Not again," she

groans...

~~~~~~~~~ Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~~

"No! Please don't take him again! Please! Let him stay with me!" A girl for about 4 cries

at a tough looking man. The man silently studies the child for a moment. He notices the

tears streaking down her face. He finally chooses to reply." Now, now, little one. You

brother needs the training. It will make him strong. You also need to be strong. When you

are a little older, perhaps you to will accompany us." He then walks out the door. The

little girl gazes at her brother, silently begging him not to go. Seeing it wasn't working,

she decided to talk to him. "Please, "she whispers", don't go. I have a bad feeling about

this." The boy looks at her, a fond looks showing in his eyes. "It'll be okay, sis. Just go to

sleep and we will be back before you know it. We have it all planned out. It'll be easy."

With that last reassurance, he goes and gives her a slight hug. Then he turns and walks

out the door. The little girl collapses and starts to sob uncontrollably. Sure that something

bad was going to happen. Her subconscious wanders back to earlier that day when she

had talked a boy who also lived there. She had heard about the mission and was crying. A mean looking boy came into

the room and smirked at her. "No one needs a weak girl. Your brother is strong, so he is

being trained to fight. You on the other hand, appear to be nothing more than needless

baggage. As long as you are weak and cry, you will always be left behind. One day your

brother will realize the truth about you and leave you behind for good." Upon saying this,

the boy walked back out.

The girl, remembering what he had said, told herself harshly, to stop crying. The

little girl thought to herself ' I have to be strong. I will get strong and show them all.'

After deciding this, she lay down and went to sleep. Little did she know that the man,

Odin, would not be returning, and she wouldn't see her brother again for many years.

The next morning a woman came by. She told the girl that her brother and Odin

had botched their mission; that they hadn't made it back. The little girl, to the surprise of

the woman, did not cry. Her face went stony and blank. The woman, named Kiana, saw

that the girl could be strong and felt pity over what she must be going through. She

decided to take her in and train her. "Little one, since you appear to be fairly strong, and

are now alone like me, why don't you come with me. I will train you to fight and to

survive. The girl nodded and said "okay". The woman asked, "what is your name?" The

little girl thought hard, but she couldn't remember ever having one. The woman smiled

when she noticed the concentration on the girls face, and she said," It's okay. Your name

is now Aini." Upon deciding this, the two walked out the door and onto a waiting shuttle.

Unknown to the two, a small figure stood watching. The boy thought, 'it's okay sis, or

should I say Aini. I won't forget you. One of these days, when we have both completed

our training; I will find you and set things straight. Just be strong and survive until then,

little sister.' With that last thought, he turned his back on his past and faced his future, to

become the perfect soldier.

~~~~~~~ End Flashback ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The 15-year-old Aini went to her bed and lay down, exhausted. "I hate it when

that happens. I don't want to remember right now." Then she dropped off into a

dreamless slumber.

End of Chapter 1.
