Okay I've pretty much figured the schedule out now, this will probably be
updated once a month unless I have enough free time to do 2 chapters in one
month. Unlikely..but you never know. Sorry about taking so long on this
chapter and keeping everyone waiting! Plot almost got away..no plot =not
good. ^_^
Forgotten Love
Several days had passed since Duo had found Heero asleep over the box of pictures of him and Keiko, and Heero had finally agreed to let them all accompany him to L1, so long as they promised not to annoy him with questions. Duo broke his promise two days before they were expected to take their shuttle, asking pretty much the same questions that had earned him a punch in the gut when Keiko had been on the television that one morning. His punishment this time around didn't hit his stomach though, Heero had slugged him in the face and afterwards menacingly threatened to leave Duo home. No other incidents had occurred.
Wufei had had to be convinced slightly to come, but in the end he had agreed with a tiny sigh of defeat. Heero needn't worry about being threatened by Wufei, he was still in his " I hate all women and sex should be abolished" mood. He was running on his..11th year of it. Quatre and Trowa posed no threat to him either, since they showed little interest in Keiko other than just wanting to speak with her on friendly terms.
They night before they left, all five had set their suitcases in the living room so they wouldn't forget them, unlike during the last trip they had taken 2 years back. As soon as they had gotten to the airport Trowa realized that his luggage was still at the house; they didn't have the time to go back and retrieve it. It was-as they so lovingly referred to it- the Trip From Hell. Nearly everything went wrong, to put it lightly.
"You sure you have everything Quatre?" Trowa asked, listening to a headset as he lay sprawled out on the couch-his feet hung over the edge, swinging in time to the music.
Quatre smiled as he sat in one of the three throne like chairs, remembering how he had asked Trowa the same question to Trowa, and he had still forgotten his stuff. " Everything is packed, I made sure and doubled checked it all."
Trowa nodded, closed his eyes and began to nod his head to whatever he was listening to, making little "Du be da cho, da da," like sounds (music sounds people -_-;). He was in to his music apparently. Wufei snickered softly from another one of the velvet lined, high backed, chairs.
"What is he listening to?" he asked.
"I'm not sure," Quatre replied. " It's not techno- he thinks techno should be abolished-but its not up loud enough to hear through his headphones...Unlike when Duo listens to his music."
Wufei cringed slightly. " Speaking of which, who is being forced to sit next to him?"
"Myself this time-" Wufei gave him a sympathetic look-" Oh c'mon he can't be that awful! Can he?"
"I had to sit next to him on the afternoon flight where lunch had been served during the previous flight, and dinner wouldn't get around for another five hours. It wasn't fun. THEN, he decides to listen to some music- which was fine by me until he turned it on and I thought I was going to be blown out of my seat. This coming from a PORTABLE player."
Quatre looked thoughtful momentarily, then spoke hesitantly. " He..wouldn't notice if I were to give him a sleeping pill in his drink or something would he?"
Wufei looked around him slowly, then back to Quatre. " We ARE talking about Duo here right? You know, the puerile one who never notices anything but women and their anatomy?"
"Guess not then..Which pill would work best?"
"Without killing him?"
"Preferably" -_-;
"Lemme go check, I stocked up on some not too long ago- I learned to always be prepared. Besides, how do you think I kept my sanity on that flight? Definitely not by tuning him out...He just got a little 'tired' and crashed out for a few hours...."
* * *
Duo lay on his stomach in Heero's bed, head at the foot and his socked feet bent up behind him so they wouldn't be on his pillow. He watched the silent boy pack the remainder of his things into a large black duffel bag. Heero didn't mind his presence, so longer as he didn't become a jackass.
"Hey..Heero?"
He was quiet for a moment. "Hm?"
" It doesn't really make sense to me..Why would you give her up? She's beautiful. And I can tell that you cared for her a lot. So..why did you never go back after you descended to here-the Earth?" Duo asked, genuine confusion and seriousness in his eyes.
"...It's complicated. I'm probably the only one who understands my reasoning," he said with a touch of mocking towards himself. " It's just...very complicated."
"We aren't going anywhere until tomorrow Heero," Duo prodded gently.
Heero lifted his head and stared out the window as several birds flew past, and when one perched on a branch he spoke again-a small smile on his lips. " I left her not out of my own will. I could have stayed on L1 with her for all eternity. I loved her Duo, I really did. But when I came here I had to push everything from my mind that didn't include my missions. I locked my emotions up even more than they already were so I couldn't worry about getting hurt and never seeing Keiko again. Why the hell Relena was so in love with that is still beyond me.
"I had nearly shut away everything about Keiko when I self destructed- the first time," he added seeing Duo about to ask. " During that time when I was knocked out, I dreamt about her-the first time in who knows when. I wanted to die since I couldn't go back to her and I now had to start all over again blocking her image from my mind. You can't imagine how much I struggled with my passion, but apparently I managed to hide it even from you. It took me a long while, but I finally convinced myself that she had moved on. She had found someone better, more of a 'stay at home' person who didn't fly around in Gundams getting shot at or fall down cliffsides...And I believed it. I surpressed my own mind into believing it. When the Marie- Maya incident happened, I still believed it. When I dreamt about her for the first time in FIVE years-just last week- I still believed it.
"I didn't want to hurt her. I figured that it would be best if I disappeared out of her life before I messed it up. I would rather be killed slowly in battle than be the cause of everything around her shattering. At the end of the war I put every item that reminded me of her in that box in my closet-so when I opened it again I could let go and get rid of it all. But I couldn't force myself to do it, that one year with her was the best year of my life. Just like they say in those romance novels, I would rather drop dead right now than have to live that one year over again without her. I would give everything to have that one kiss and not see her again. Whoever the Divine Being is..I thank him for giving me her." Heero sighed softly, then turned to face Duo, and twitched slightly. O_o;
"That was the most beautiful thing you've ever said Heero!" Duo sobbed T_T . He grabbed a fistful of blankets and reached up to wipe his nose with them.
"Oh no you don't!" Heero snarled, back to his old self, launched up and tackled Duo before he snotted up the blanket. " USE A DAMN TISSUE!!"
* * *
The shuttle trip actually wasn't as horrible as the five thought it would be. Most of them ended up sleeping since it was an evening flight. Quatre didn't even need to use the sleeping pills Wufei had given him. It was that night's sleep that was awful-for 3 at least.
It was one by the time they got to their hotel and checked into their two rooms-in the heart of the colony. Quatre, Duo and Wufei got a two bed room (Quatre was alright with sharing a bed with Duo *Quatres the sweetie! * Wufei threatened to commit seppuku if he had to sleep in the same bed as Duo.) Heero and Trowa got the room just across the hall from the other three. Simultaneously-without anyone of the others knowing, they all climbed into bed and pulled the covers up to their chins in unison. It was a peaceful night, Heero and Trowa slept like rocks, drowning out their own snores. Wufei and Quatre had it a little less...easy. Duo kept rolling around in his sleep, kicking and punching poor Quatre as well as snoring and mumbling loudly. At one point he sat straight up in bed, screamed " THE CHIN OF DEATH!" while shoving his fist out in front of him like something was there, held the position for several seconds, then promptly flopped back down-fist still outstretched. It had scared the utter bejizus out of Quatre; the blonde boy ended up crawling in with Wufei. He was a little snobbish about it at first, but drifted back to sleep quickly.
It was well after 11 by the time all five of them were up and dressed, but it wasn't at though they were on a tight schedule. Their return flight was a little less than 2 weeks away, just in case they had problems finding Keiko. They ate a small breakfast in the lobby of the hotel (nice hotel ^_~), while Heero ran over details in his mind and wondered whether she had moved or not. When breakfast was finished, he found a quiet corner with his cell, and dialed the only person who would know.
One the third ring, she picked up. "Hello?"
" Lelita-san?" Heero asked softly.
The voice sounded confused. " This is she...But who's calling please? No one calls me Lelita-san, so you must be a close friend. Forgive me, my memory is not what it used to be, I cannot attach a name or face to your voice sir..."
"Lelita-san.."he repeated. " It's me.."
Realization hit Lelita as she recognized the voice finally. " Heero?! You're alive?! Oh.Heero where are you?!"
"I'm here, on L1."
Lelita sounded as though she was weeping softly on the other end of the phone. " Heero..You came back. I'm so sorry, I never had the faith that you would return. Keiko and I, we thought you had been killed, after we saw the self-destruction of a Gundam all those years ago. Keiko! Oh I have to call her-"
"Lelita-san, don't call her yet. I want to surprise her. I'm here for about two weeks with my friends before I have to go back to Earth. But please tell me this: Has Keiko moved? From the old apartment on Kyowa Street?"
She was quiet for a timeless moment. " She has moved yes. She moved about three months ago to a larger house-right when her book became popular since people kept trying to get to her. It was awful, she was so stressed...If you have a pen I can give you her address."
Heero placed his hand over the mouthpiece. " Trowa!" he called, " You have a pen and paper?" Trowa got up from the overstuffed chair he had been lounging in, dug a crumpled piece of paper and a pen from his pockets and handed them to Heero with an apologetic look. " Whenever you're ready Lelita-san." He scribbled down the address as Lelita gave it too him, then they spoke briefly again, and finally hung up.
"Who is Lelita?" Wufei said dully as they headed out the door and started for the subway.
" She's Keiko's mother," Heero returned monotonously.
"Her mother? Why did you call her?"
"I had to make sure she stilled lived her somehow didn't I? Besides, I want to surprise her, if I had called her old apartment I wouldn't have contacted her since Keiko doesn't live there anymore, which is why we're taking the subway," he finished as they rounded another city block.
Duo had his arms behind his head and seemed very energetic. " Where does she live now?"
Heero took the scrap of paper out of his pocket and glanced over it. "The B-3 quadrant."
Quatre cringed. " Close to that serial killers place..That's slightly unnerving. Well, at least she's a quadrant away."
Heero nodded as they found the subway entrance, and descended its drab, stinking stairs.
* * *
"Holy shit!" Duo exclaimed when they found Keiko's house. " It's friggin huge! It almost rivals Quatres estate!"
A steady rain had begun falling during their hour-long subway ride (how exactly does it rain in the colonies? I know it snows..weird.well, just go along with it) so by now the ground was easily soaked; as were the pilots, who only had their jackets to protect them. Luckily it wasn't a very cold rain, but it was still cool to the bare skin. The mood was subdued as they came up to her house, which was indeed very grand. Though it was sitting on maybe one and a half acres, it was a larger lawn that most people had. It rose three floors, ending with a red brick chimney that was more than likely connected to a fireplace on each floor. A thick concrete/brick wall that was about 9 feet high surrounded the perimeter; a rod iron gate blocked the entranceway. Trees, flower beds, and fountains dotted what they could see of the lawn. Four of the five pilots stood in awe of the place; it was exquisite for being in a colony. Heero, his form totally calm, reached out and pushed the small doorbell button implanted by a covered speaker in the wall beside the gate. A moment later, a soft voice answered out of the speaker.
" Yes? Who is it?"
Heero tried to reply, his mouth moved, but the effort was futile. " Hello?" the voice repeated.
"Keiko..." Heero finally managed to croak out.
"Yes, this is she, may I help you?"
" I'm here to return myself to you."
"Who..?" She gasped. "Heero!" Static sounded in the speaker, then the communication was cut off. There was silence that only the rains soft pattering broke, then the gate creaked, and opened inwards. Seemingly without a thought Heero strolled through the gate and up the estate driveway, closely followed by his four comrades.
"What's going to happen next?" Quatre asked quietly.
"We wait, she's going to come, obviously, since she opened the gate for us," Wufei replied.
Almost right after he said that a slight figure dashed out of the manor and onto the slick ground. She came flying towards them with remarkable speed, but stopped short about 20 feet away from them. The rain had started to come down harder, it quickly soaked Keiko as she stood there. Her golden hair dripped water, and her clothes soon turned a shade darker. Her face held a look of old sorrow, confusion, ecstasy, and fear that what she was seeing wasn't real. "Oh my God in hell, she's beautiful," Quatre heard Duo breathe out in amazement. He was sincere.
A sad smile spread across her face. " I never thought I would see you again Heero," she murmured walking slowly towards him. " Everyone told me to move on, but I knew that you would come back..."
"I saw you on the TV, which's how I knew you were still waiting," he returned. She was now close enough to touch if he stretched his arm out all the way. Heero traced her face down to her jaw, and gently pushed her hair behind one ear. " I've missed you, Lucky-One."
Keiko's face turned into a genuine smile, all traces of her sorrow and loneliness disappeared. Tears of joy spilled down her face, blending with the rain. " God, Heero, I'd have waited five more years if I had too!" she wept and ran the two steps into Heero's warm arms.
Bleh that was long.My poor flangies hurt.How long was that anyways? I don't know.Ok I'm rambling I will go now so readers don't sic their hounds on me for taking to long *scurries off to find shelter * Ja! ^_^
