Trapped In Darkness

Part 2

The war carries on. Not stopping for anything. Not death. Not love. Not anything. The war is a game. The weak ones are the losers who die. And the strong ones are the winners who live. As simple as that.

She opened her eyes as the main computer screen flashed on. Blinking to adjust her eyes to the colors of the screen. The harness held her tight in the seat. Life Hell did a computer check. Making little clicking noises then stopping on a newly added message. Shikyo read the message. "Shikyo...genki da na..." Her hand slammed down on the reply button. Simple writing

'Don't bother me again'

Shikyo reached to press 'ENTER'. But something stopped her.

'Shikyo..genki da Na...'

'Shikyo..are you all right.....?'

She deleted the message and leaned back in the cockpit chair. It was quite. Probably because she was in space. Not even sure why she was in space... but it didn't matter. As long as she was away from him. As long as she could clear her head. But something seemed to tell her to go back to him. But why?....

Time goes on and people get older. They get caught between life and death. And can't pick which one to choose. To finally death chooses them to die. How sad it is to know that death chooses your path.

The Life Hell made a few noises as Shikyo made it land on the ground. Their battle was done. All Oz Leo's lay on the ground dead. Along with their pilots. Now that the mission was complete what would she do? Would she go back to Quatre? Or continue searching for an answer to the question that stuck in her mind? 'Why does he care? Why would he care if I choose to live or die? Winner you give me headaches thinking over this question. Trying to find the answer that I know will never come. Why do you some how always bring me back to you? Why can't you just leave me alone to die? Can't you see I love the feeling of death around me? Why can't you?' Sighing she turned the Gundam off. Not caring if Oz would find. The latch opened and she jumped out. Landing perfectly at the bottom. 'Now where to go? Go crawling back to him. Show him I need him? No I don't need him.'

Some how you can't feel touch anymore. You can't feel anything. To rapped up in hatred and darkness to notice someone is reaching out to you and calling your name. You're slipping into death. Even though you are as health as can be...

Every time she saw him he made her heart ache. A pain she just couldn't ignore. Why did she need that blonde-headed pilot anyway? He just brought her pain when she saw him. But some how she found herself rapped up in his arms. Her heart beated fast as he kissed her. 'Winner how come you won't give up on bringing me back to life? I want to be trapped in darkness and hatred till my death comes. But you are pulling me out of it. But why? Why do you care when you know I will just be gone in the morning and won't come back for weeks? Why?' Shiyko pulled away from him. She rested her head on his chest and closed her eyes. Trying to fall asleep to the stead pace of Quatre's heartbeat. Quatre watched his partner try to fall asleep. Feeling her confusion. Why could something so beautiful have to live in hatred and darkness? Couldn't she just have happiness and love for a change?

You can't escape what is coming for you. Is it love? Hatred? Darkness? Happiness? Or maybe it is just the one thing you can't live without....even though you want to push it away...kill it...forget that it is there...but it just keeps getting closer.. and closer....

Her stomach turned and tossed. Her heart legs arms ached. Why did she feel so cold? Blood lay splattered over the sheets and mattress of an old hotel room. Bruised and bleeding Quatre lay on the floor. Eyes wide open searching for an answer. Then landing on Shikyo who looked puzzled and confused. He sat up and leaned against a wall. Blood dripping from his neck arms stomach and legs. All from knife cuts. A knife lay in Shikyo's hand. She looked down gasped then dropped it. Those cold brilliant blue eyes went over to the confused Quatre. In a sec she was over there hugging him. "Quatre what have I done? I tried to kill you. Why didn't you try to stop me? Did you want to get hurt by me?" He pushed her off him. Then tried to stand up fell to his stomach. Laying weak on the ground. Shikyo got the first aid kit. Sitting him up against the wall and starting to bandage him up. He just sat there. "Quatre..genki da na...?" With a swipe of his hand he smacked her. Quatre tried to smack her again but Shikyo caught him by the wrist. A evil smile lay across her face. "Quatre why do you try to hurt me? I love pain. No matter what pain I love it."There was a long silence."But even though I love pain I can't allow myself to see you in anymore pain caused by me...why do you open your arms when I come to you?"Quatre looked into her eyes."Because I love you..."Shikyo's eyes softened. "Well you can't!Never!Never!I don't want you to love me!I don't want anyone to love me!They'll ju- ""I won't leave you!!!"This argument took the last of Quatre's strenght.He closed his eyes slowly and allowed his head to fall onto Shikyo's lap.Shikyo just put her hands threw Quatre's soft blond hair.She would wait untill morning then leave.

You belive you love someone just so much.But can you be sure you love them?When they say they love you more than anything are you sure they do?Trapped in love you are.Trapped in love.

Shikyo sat on the windowsill.Quatre lay in her arms.Still badly hurt he was.She couldn't leave him here hurt.In this run down old hotel room.She ran her fingers threw his hair."When will you leave again?"He asked in a whisper."I'm not sure..all I know it that I'm not leaving untill you get better or there is a mission."Quatre sighed."Hopefully there isn't a mission"He replied and Shikyo pulled him closer to her."Me too"Her voice was sweet.Unlike any voice she had used before.Quatre couldn't belive what he heard.A sweet voice never heard before?He smiled to himself and shut his eyes.Falling into a deep sleep."Damn you Quatre why do you do this to me?Make me feel all messed up in this damn world?But then you make me feel like I belong!"Carefully she picked Quatre up and layed him on the bed."I'll be back"Silently she grabbed her jacket and shut the door quietly behind her.

You wait there for me.But fo you know if I'm coming back to?Do you live in the darkness as I do?Or do you live in the light?Oh dear love why do you mess with the emotions of mine?

Quatre opened his eyes as soon as she had left.He looked around unaware of where she went."Shikyo!?SHIKYO!!!"He slammed his fist into the pillow and tear drop appeared on the pillow."I let her get away..when she most needed me and I most needed her"The door swung open."What you crying about?I just went to a vending machine and got us some sodas!"Quatre looked up at her."I thought you left for good".Shikyo threw a soda at him and he cought it."Didn't I say I wasn't going to leave unless a mission came?"Quatre opened the soda and started to drink some.'I thought I lost you forever Shikyo....'He thought to himself as he drank.

So here is Part 2.The story goes in parts from Part 1 to Part 8.Then after Part8 there comes Trapped In Darkeness Two.If I get enough reviews I will finish this story and if everyone likes this one I'll make Trapped In Darkness Two.To explain the part where Shikyo 'cut' Quatre:Shikyo came to Quatre's hotel room for no reason.Quatre allowed her to come in.A few minutes after Shikyo arrived she got angry.Then pulled out a knife and 'cut' Quatre for a while.Then she finally relized what she was doing then the after math starts.
