Wufei could not help sitting in the waiting room, hoping against hope there had been some way torevive Sakura. Deep inside his heart however, he knew. Having seen death so much within his short time among the living made it impossible to truly believe in her survival. He held Cherise as she cried, unable to believe the loss of her cousin.
"She was so happy. We were going shopping for clothes to the dance. I-I think we should call whoever her date was. I'm sure he would like to know." Cherise sniffled. Wufei sighed, "I was her date Cherise." Inside he was thinking, once again it is all my fault. I wasn't able to protect a woman I cared for. "If I hadn't agreed to go to the dance, would she still be alive?" Wufei unknowingly asked aloud. "Oh Willy....No...Sakura was so happy. I guess she really liked you and I know she wouldn't want you to blame yourself for what happened."
A few minutes later the doctor walked in, a mere formality at this point, to inform the two of Sakura's time of death and to reassure them that she had died on impact and had not suffered. "Is there any other family that needs to be notified?" Cherise nodded. "I'll call them. Willy, why don't you let your friends know?" Wufei agreed and quickly left.
Sakura looked around her new surroundings. The two angels who had explained her death to her had taken her to a room she could use until she made her decision, if she should decide to stay on as an angel, it would become her permanent residence. She leaned her head up against one of the walls. "I don't know what to do....If I stay...can I ever pass on into the afterlife or will I always be here, away from my family. I won't be alone, Willy's here. But...he was an angel, did he really care for me or was it all an act. Maybe that other angel will know..what was his name...Darnit he didn't even tell me, how am I supposed to find a freakin' blond angel up here???"
The blond angel in question was currently hitting a punching bag in his quarters. "After all these years, all these people, I still let things affect me." A feminine voice called out "And that's why you're one of the best guardian angels we've ever had." A tall black haired angel walked over to him. "Letting your aggression out is a good thing, but I think there's still a very confused young lady wanting to talk to you." Her voice was low and husky, what some called a whiskey voice. "C'mon Q, I haven't known you since your life for nothing." He smiled, "Indeed. Maybe it would be a good thing for you to accompany me as well. She could get a perspective on afterlife as a death angel from one of the best." She nodded. He looked around his room, the walls covered in a wide variety of photographs and paintings. Each and every one represented one of his former charges. In bright colors, his newest addition sat at a place of honor on his desk. It was a picture of the gundam pilots, taken by Relena Peacecraft, at a picnic where the pilots had been enjoying themselves the day after the war had been officially declared over.
Khareedo looked over at her blond companion. She had known him for over a thousand years, having been his personal slave during their lives. The two had become friends which was rather scandalous at the time and she had refused to leave him after he had made the decision to become a guardian angel. However, after a lifetime of being forced to serve others she had chosen to become a death angel. Khareedo and Q were regarded as oddities, since the categories of angels rarely
intermixed. She had even been involved in his last mission, which had culminated in their current downtime, living within a machine and dispensing death.
He was growing tired of the regulations which prevented trainee angels from having contact with any angels involved during their life. The regulations were for a good reason, no one wanted a decision to remain that had been influenced or someone to take their anger out on a guardian who had failed his job. "I've requested Millie and Vanessa to take care of Sakura's family, they're two of the best comfort angels." Q smiled at her. "Thanks Reed. I am afraid I was unable to think.." She grinned and punched him in the arm. "Don't worry about it. Before you know it, things will be straightened out. Sometimes you have got to have faith." "Faith...that is not a bad idea." Q smiled.
Due and Heero were still trying to convince Kerry to tell them who she was thinking about asking tothe dance when they felt the call from Wufei. It felt urgent. Duo grinned "Well if you're not going to tell me, I'm going to spread a horrible rumor around school claiming you're dating ..um..whoever the biggest nerd in the school is." Kerry laughed. "And yet you do not even know his name, quite a threat. Alright I'll tell you, so long as you don't spread it around. His name is
Damien. He's a year younger than we are, so please don't tease me about it." Heero and Duo looked at her in shock. "Hey there's nothing wrong with liking a guy younger than you."Duo comforted. Heero nodded. However, now that they had ascertained Kerry was not asking Itko, they needed to check up on Wufei. "I'm sorry Kerry, but we have to leave. We promised Willy we would help him pick up some clothes for the dance." Kerry grinned. "Oh that should be a lot of fun.
Maybe I should go shopping too.." Duo sweatdropped. "Um yeah good idea, got to go." He grabbed Heero and pulled him away before Kerry could ask to join their supposed shopping trip.
AN: Yeah yeah, really short, but I'm trying to ease my way back into writing slowly.
