Touch of an Angel

It was dark. Dark blue, green, purple… a kaleidoscope of colors and feathers swirled about him in the darkness. He couldn't see any other being. He couldn't hear any other thing. He couldn't speak.
(Fiery chaos)
But he could feel the touch of an angel upon his skin – did he even have skin anymore?
(A beautiful angel)
And he was dieing. At least he thought he was dieing. Why wouldn't he? He had failed.
(Who was he?)
Failed to fight.
(Where was he?)
Failed his friends.
(Where was his Gundam?)
Failed his family.
(What had happened?))
Failed to live.
(Was everything alright?)
Failed everything.
(What was he?)
"Shit! We're losing him!"
"He's lost to much blood! He's going to need a transfer!"
"He's too young to die like this!"
"Damn it!"
He could hear voices. Now. They were foggy. They came in and out. Women – mostly.
(How did he know he could hear?)
Voices. He knew them. He didn't know them.
(Did he know them?)
He couldn't remember.
(Did he?)
He didn't want to remember.
(Did he?)
He did want to remember.
(Did he?)
But he didn't know.
(Didn't he?)
"Oh my god!"
"Shit!"
"He's waking up! How the hell can he be do that!"
"Somebody put him back under now!"
"Hurry it up, damn it!"
Lights. Bright lights.
(The light at the end of the tunnel)
He could see…… an angel?
(Angels)
No. No angels. No valkeries to take him to a hero's heaven.
(Heh. Hero)
No.
(Heero)
He wasn't a hero.
(One of five)
Never a hero.
(Two of one)
Always the bad guy.
(Always alone)
Demon.
(Sister Helen always loved the angels.)
But never alone.
(He was sorry for making an angel cry)
"He's stable."
"Finally."
"Yea. This kids one lucky S.O.B." Pause. "He shouldn't have even been alive when they brought him in."
"But he was and he is now."
"Yes. Who is he anyways?"
"Don't know. Never seen him before."
"Guess we'll just have to wait until he wakes up then, huh?"
"If he ever wakes up."
Silence. Thoughtful.
"No – He'll wake up. I have a feeling that that kid has more than just one guardian angel looking after him up there."
Authors Note: Hi. Tell me what you think. Should I continue? Or not? Personally… I think sleep deprivation is a fickle woman… lol
