Chapter 12
"Rei!" I heard Mina call. "You have to get up!"
I laid there my eyes all puffy from crying non-stop for the past three days. "Go away!" I screamed my voice hoarse from sobbing. I had to leave today, as did Mina. The only difference was she was taking a transport and I was taking a gundam. Speaking of the gundam, she didn't know about the gundam. She thought that I was taking a different transport. My stuff was packed in a black duffle bag and was in the ship I was to pilot. My arm started to hurt again along with my heart. I felt more tears start to run down my face. I felt the urge to scream and suppressed it. There was a hard lump at the back of my throat every time I thought about what happened.
I rolled over and faced the wall making my left arm hurt even more. The pain in my arm drowned out the pain in my heart. I heard the door slide open and someone walk in. I had my 9 mm in my hand and pointed before I realized what I was doing. I watched Dr. Shinigami glare at me till I put my gun away.
"You told me earlier this week that you'd go to earth no matter what. Are you going to go back on that now?" He said his face blank, and his eyes watching me closely.
I got to my feet and glared at him. "No." I said as I walked passed him grabbing my shoes and flight suit as I left the room. I got to the bathroom and brushed my hair quickly. I pulled it back into a tight braid. I washed my face with cold water. I looked at myself in the mirror. God I looked like shit. Well at least I look as I feel, I thought grimly.
I pulled my flight suit on over my black undies. It fit me like a glove, accentuating every curve. It was fitted just for me.
Mina had already left when I finally left the bathroom. I walked to the hidden door. "Shinigami Zero" I said my voice void of any emotion. The door whooshed open and I started to walk in. I felt arms snake around my shoulders and heard Dr. Shinigami's voice in my ears.
"I will miss you my daughter." He whispered hugging me tightly from behind.
"I will miss you as well father." I replied leaning into the hug, feeling the love that only children and parents feel between us for the first time.
"You understand why I pushed you so hard?"
"Yes." I smiled for the first time in days. "I will bring peace to the Earth and colonies with the power of my hands and gundam. I will do it for you and for all the orphans that never had a chance to feel the arms of someone who cared." There was a fierce determination in my voice and face. I finally truly understood right there why I was here. "Thank you for being there when no one else was."
I felt him nod and release me. I stepped into the elevator without looking back and the door whooshed shut behind me.
