A/n-Aww guys! After all those GREAT reviews that I got from you all, I'm soo worried about making a mistake and losing your interest! Well, first I need to say that I NEED HELP! If there is anyone on here that has AIM or AOL that thinks that they can stand my annoying and Ignorant chatter, and knows A LOT about fan ficking…(lol, is that a word?) PLEASE send a review or email to me, saying that you can help! I will put up a little dedication section for what I learned every day… lol STAY TUNED AT THE END FOR A SMALL CLIPPIT OF AN UPCOMING CHAPTER!
Be there for him when he had his nightmares instead of just listening to him scream in the dark. Odin sighed and closed his eyes.
"Heero woke up for a short period and freaked when he thought he was in some testing facility."
The price that you pay will not always be material.
The always had a backup house. In fact, they had 3 or 4, to ensure their safety. Actually, this worked out nicely, as Odin had been planning on getting out if that apartment anyway. The new house was small, but isolated from the city crowds that Odin so hated. All the easier to train kid then.
Odin hated it, but knew that there was no way to hide Kid for all his life. He would HAVE to train they boy now that he had shot a person. Taken a life. Not like HE hadn't done it thousands of times, but this was different! He no longer saw the spark of innocence in the child's eyes when they boy looked at him. The shot. Perfect. Right between the eyes. The kid had natural talent. It was almost scary. Odin himself had been twenty one before he had killed anyone. He decided that now would be a good time to show kid what a gun could really do.
Kid liked the new house. Liked the land, and liked the fact that Odin seemed happy. Maybe he had done a good thing? No…because after he had put a hole in the man, Odin looked at him funny, and he seemed to distance himself from Kid. It made Kid sad. He didn't understand it at all, but he just wanted to make Odin happy!
"Hey, Kid." It always made Kid smile when Odin talked to him. He looked up from his cereal (Odin never gave him anything but cereal in the mornings) and looked expectantly at the man. He seemed to talk less and less to Kid, so the times that he spoke were to be PERFECT so he would see how good Kid was.
"Hm?" Odin pushed another one of those toys across the table at kid…the one he called a GUN. Kid eyed it.
"You remember this, Kid?" Yes. How could he forget? He nodded.
"Yeah, well I'm gunna show you how to shoot one properly…Not like you need it." He snorted. "So, hurry up eating. Come outside when your done, and I'll go set up the targets." He grabbed the gun and left without so much as looking back. Kid sighed.
"Ok, Kid. Pick it up and shoot it." He didn't want to. When he shot it, would it make a hole in the paper target, and would red stuff come out of it? He didn't like that idea…but then, this was a grown up toy. And it would make Odin Proud….anything to make Odin proud.
"How?" Kid had seen daddy use the gun…HE had used the gun only a couple days ago…but he only did it when he had to.
"Just do it. You'll figure it out." Why did Odin have to be so confusing? Oh well. Kid picked the gun up, pulled off the safety, and lifted it up to eye level.
"Like this Odin?" He swung the gun around so Odin could see his good work. The man paled.
"K-kid…put that down…" Why was he so white? And what did he do this time to make Odin mad? "DAMMIT kid! PUT IT DOWN! N-NO! Don't even TOUCH that trigger…!" Uh oh…Odin sounded MAD…better put it down quickly. Kid dropped the gun.
BANG!
Odin jumped at the sudden noise, but Kid just stared at the huge hole set in the ground next to Odin's foot…
It took all of the blond assassin's control not to rip Kid's head off. That could have hit him! Could have taken his head off! But then, for all that Kid could shoot a perfect hole through a man's head, and that he understood and had been through things that even ADULTS did not know about, Kid was just a Kid.
"Ok, Kid, You hold it like this…"
At the end of the day, Odin was not surprised with the results. Kid was a great shot. They reviewed the target, and although some bullet holes strayed away from the central ring, and there was one lone hole somewhere near the top, Kid had not missed the target at all. All the shots had hit the ringed paper. Odin was not too startled to see the amount of holes going perfectly through the center, a dead on bulls-eye.
A/N- I'm really sorry about how short this is, but it WILL get better! I'm going to talk about Kid's First mission, hopefully in the next one, so it might get a bit dark. I'm really sorry for the delay in posting…Man! After getting all the reviews, I'm worried that you will hate me! Sorry! Ok, so here are the Poll results, and after, responses to all who Reviewed! Thanks! SMALL CLIPPIT OF A CHAPTER AFTER THE REWIEW RESPONCES!
POLL RESULTS (ok, I'm using Heero's name, cause I think if I said Kid, it just wouldn't SOUND right…yanno? Kk! Here goes!Heero+Relena-2
Heero+Duo-3
Heero+Odin-2 (ok, PLEASE do note that Odin is like What, 30 years older then kid…I understand guy/guy pairings, but pairing with someone old enough to be your DAD? Let alone a guy and the fact that kid is a KID…lol…A tad bit disturbing… oh well. : -/
REVIEW RESPONSE-ZaKai-I have to say I thank you VERY much for your review…I was very pleased with your response, and your comments and suggestions were noted, (not to mention NEEDED) lol- I love to see WHAT my readers look for, and I think you gave me a very good Idea! But in what sections should I work on? I can maybe re-write a chapter or something…edit it maybe? You name it, And I'll change it! Thanks so much for this review!
ALPAUST-Hey! Glad you liked! Aww…what's wrong with a good little bit of yaoi? Don't worry…I don't mind in the least! Heh.
krage-I'm glad that you are sticking to my story! I need a good committed reviewer! Lol Thanks! And sorry for the delay in posting!
Bunch-o-Nuts-Yeah, I COULD understand a HxO stance if it was FATHERLY, but I mean, having a teenager with an adults…lets see…say Heero is 15…and those hormones are KICKING IN! Odin will be like, what? 45? Interesting view though…
Crazy Girl Sarah –Oh, yay! Found a good HxD Lover too! Huggles Till the END! (But with the ending I'm thinking about setting on this fic, it WON'T be very long…:-/ And wow….Your SO polite! Hmmm…think you can teach me a little bit in the "manners" section…that didn't come with my training!
Sandrock Kai-Aww…thanks! I haven't seen many Heero stories floating around, so I decided I would try this! I'm glad that you saw part of my intent on making this story! Thanks for the review!
OK! I guess I promised, huh? It's kinda hard cause I don't wanna give away one MAJOR event that happens later in the story so I skipped a couple of lines so as not to give it away this early…but here goes! Oh, and here Kid is alone on the colony after Odin left him there from a mission.
The streets of L2 stank of hopelessness and fear. They were the worst that Kid had seen, and it was not unusual to see homeless children walking barefoot on the littered street, and the prostitutes, male and female, selling their bodies on every corner. In fact, a building not 3 blocks away was in high flames, and Kid saw not one person stop for survivors, or to quench the burning wood. Kid was lucky though. The hotel that he had once shared with Odin was not bad, if not very expensive for being on "the good side" of town, and it would not be that hard to hack the system for a couple more free nights. Having nothing better to do, Kid walked toward the burning building that might once have been a church. He had no intentions to help anyone, but for some reason, the flames seemed to draw him. Onlookers stood gathered on the sidelines, careful to stay far away from the sparks that flew out. Curious as to what had happened to this place, kid listened to the conversations around him to gather from the snippets. The Lady on his left was whispering urgently to her friend.
"…Maxwell Church. Poor old man…He helped so many children! Just last night he game my Ella some bread because I couldn't afford dinner! Oh he reminds me just so much of Jerry…" So he was right. This had once been a church, and he presumed the man they discussed was the priest. He still wanted more information. Drifting over to a group of talking women, (women were the best because they talked so much. Heh) He began listening. No one heard or saw him, but that was to be expected, for he had been well taught to blend in or fade out of crowds.
"The poor children! There must have been, what? 25 of them in there!" The woman was close to tears. Gee, death happens, lady. It's apart of life. But kid said nothing and waited for the response.
"Yes, but think of what Father Maxwell did to save them, bless his soul. They would have died soon anyway, or would have been abused or hungry all their lives! At least they were fed and sheltered!" So that was it. The man-Father Maxwell-took in homeless and abused kids from the streets. Something stirred inside of Kid. No one had ever given him that kind of love. No one he didn't have to kill, anyway. He turned, not wanting to see any more of the flames, wanting it to all disappear…then something caught his eye. A boy, no older then himself was huddled alone, but he was to close to the fire for comfort. He must have been one of Father Maxwell's adopted children. He looked so lost, staring at the fire, and so…hopeless. Kid knew that feeling…from somewhere…from a time that all he could remember of was hazy smoke and broken buildings. All he knew then was that mommy and daddy were gone. Kid knew that no one should feel this way. He wanted to help like Odin had helped. Kid wandered over to the boy, and rested his hand on his shoulder. The boy jerked under him, and his head flew to the side to stare at Kid. He had the most haunting shade of violet eyes that Kid had ever seen.
So how did you like it? Feel like rating it for me or giving me any suggestions? I would LOVE that! So after that happens, Kid doesn't get to know the "young Duo" He offers him a place to stay at the hotel, while that same day he is pulled over by J, (although he doesn't know who that is at the time) and taken away to train. So really, he doesn't know Duo…I was thinking about making him see each of the Gundam pilots as children before he is taken by J…what do you think? Please Review!
