To Be Alive:
Chapter 7
His Eyes: Windows to Our Souls
Heero met Ray in the gym after school like she asked. Dressed in shorts and t-shirt. Ray stood on mat waiting for him also dressed in her gym cloths. Heero walked up to her.
"Whats going on?" he asked instantly suspicious. Ray grinned.
"I want to spar with you." She said simply.
"What?" Ray sighed.
"Fight. I want to fight you." Heero stared at her thinking this was a joke. Like she could stand against him…a gundam pilot. But then remembering all the times he'd seen her fight seniors in the hall, he figured it was ok. He'd just go easy on her. Boy was he wrong. No sooner had the match begun then Heero found himself on the ground staring at the ceiling. Ray frowned.
"Come on Yuy. You got to be stronger then that!" Heero got up a brushed imaginary dust off himself.
"Have you ,by any chance, had any type of training." He asked. She smirked.
"Yep"
"How much?" Ray took a fighting stance.
"Come closer and I'll show you." Heero smirked and took a stance as well. Ray charged first. Throwing punches and kicks. Heero either dodged or blocked her attacks waiting for an opening. Finally one came. His fist connected with her abdomen. Ray back flipped away. Clutching her stomach. She looked from her stomach to Heero. He hadn't even broken a sweat yet. She grinned.
'So he is a soldier' Heero took another stance, but Ray didn't. She stood in front of him leisurely a taunting grin on her face. 'What is she thinking' Deciding to take a chance Heero charged her giving a little more than before. He raised his fist aiming for his target. Ray smirked. Reading his movements perfectly, she grabbed his arm and swung his entire body over her head. Heero hit the mat and Ray didn't waste anytime pinning him with her own body. She smiled triumphantly at him. Heero was shock to say the least and began cursing his weakness.
"C'mon Heero is that all you've got? Aren't you even taking this seriously?"
"I don't see why I should. It's just a simple sparing match." Ray frowned slightly.
"Come on! I thought you held a little more respect for me Heero. Stop playing safe and fight me! I know you can do better than that!"
"And how would you know?" Heero glared at her .
'Could she be a soldier? Does she know who I am.'
"I know…because I know you're not a normal teen." Heero's eyes widened slightly. 'she does know…!'
"Your eyes give you away…"
"My eyes?" Heero questioned. What did his eyes have to do with it?
"You have the eyes of a soldier. You're not normal, at least from the publics percpective. You've seen much, been though a lot. You experienced war at its heights. Your stronger than most and have been scarred by life."
"How do you know?" Heero spoke voice barely above a whisper.
"I told you. Your eyes. To normal people they're cold and unemotionaly, but to someone like me. They're sad, pained, lonely."
"Some one like you?" Heero glared at her again. Ray smiled.
"You hold a wisdom Heero. Your mind and soul's age far out does that of you body."
"I could say the same to you. You seem to be well trained in reading people. Either that or well informed." Suspicion dripped from every word.
"It happens to us all I suppose at one point in our lives. We all have our moments and war effects everyone in some way. I say it as I see it. And I see it because you and I are a lot alike Heero. I've trained in the martial arts since I was five and have had my fair share of the war. It's easy for me to pick out a fellow warrior from among the masses." Heero stared at her searching her face for sign that she was lying but he found none.
"So." Ray tilted her head to the side. "You gonna fight me or not. "
"On one condition you have to answer me a question."
"Shoot.."
"What part does the war have in your life? What happened to you…?" Ray frowned. Sighing she rolled off of him and sat Indian style on the mat…
"I guess it's ok to tell you…for some reason I know I can trust you Heero."
"Hn" was the only reply as Heero sat across from her waiting… Taking a deep breathe Ray began…
A/N HAAAAA That's right I'm cruel. Sorry but you'll have to wait till next time to find out about Ray. Till next time! Later Days!
