ZT: New chapter! I don't own Gundam Wing. Enjoy!

Review Responses;

Dark Devotions- Yeah, Vanessa was attacked as well. It messed up her vocal cords and... well I'll give the full explaination in a flashback later. Actually, Ally and Trowa are the next chapter…

Calli Maxwell- Well, Duo finally got away (He's hiding in the cupboard right now… so don't tell Inuyasha). I think Vanessa and Duo make a cute couple too! Vanessa's gonna start lightening up on him, but not by much.

AJ()- Thanks for the review. Here's the next chapter.

Fate Sucks

Chapter 30

Heero walked silently past the warehouse that the Gundams had been found in. Any other day, he would have gone there for some peace and quiet or to find any clue as to Night Star's whereabouts or identity. But not today.

He walked towards some rubble that was near the warehouse and kneeled near a pile of rocks. His eyes clouded over as the little girl in the white dress and her dog came to mind. All those years ago yet on this day…he would never forget what happened. He would never forget that exploding Mobil suit landing on the building. He would never forget what went through his mind when he saw that burnt teddy bear or Mary…poor Mary. He closed his eyes as he remembered the puppy. It was so full of life when he first saw it…and when he held it after the fire…Mary was so cold…so lifeless…he was glad he never saw the little girl's body… He sighed as he placed a flower on the rocks, but kept his head bent, eyes closed.

Heero was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn't even notice the person behind him. 'Okay, he's gotta have a tracer on me somewhere,' the person thought, looking around but finding nothing out of the ordinary. The person sighed, "Well, you're just on a roll now, aren't you, Mr. Yuy?"

Heero blinked and turned around. He knew that voice, but there was no way that that person could be here!

Well, obviously there was some way, for Sai was standing a few meters behind him. She shook her head, "There I was saying how predictable you were then BAM! You pull off two VERY unpredictable things in a row!"

He stood up, "What are you doing here?"

"Just paying some respects," she answered, placing a flower down next to Heero's. She looked up at him, "And you?"

"Same," he answered, looking back at the small makeshift of a grave marker, his eyes darkening at the memory.

Sai noticed and stood up. She looked at the pilot in concern, "What's wrong?" When Heero gave her no answer, Sai didn't push him; in his silence, he answered her question: he was responsible for the disaster that happened here. Instead, she turned back to the grave.

"…You knew them?" Heero asked.

Sai nodded, not turning from the grave, "Kinda. I was close to someone who used to live here. The others were just acquaintances."

For a while, the two were silent; it was a bit of an awkward situation. Not only was the little incident from before still fresh in their minds, but now they had to deal with Heero being responsible for the death of at least one of Sai's friends!

The blond groaned, "Y'know, life is supposed to be dramatic for teenagers, but I don't think it's supposed to be THIS dramatic!"

Heero couldn't help but let a small smirk cross his lips, "No kidding." It left as instantly as it came and he turned back to the grave. "…Did you know her?"

" 'Her'?" the blond asked, "Bunch of 'hers' here. Which 'her'?"

He kept his gaze upon the grave, "The little girl. She was around eight or so… blond hair, blue eyes…"

"And a little energetic puppy…" Sai finished in almost a whisper. She looked at Heero, "You met her?"

Heero nodded, "The morning before it happened. She was walking her dog…" He paused, thinking Sai may put her two cents in. She didn't; instead she silently listened and gestured for him to continue, "She had asked me if I was lost. I told her that I had always been lost. She told me that she wasn't lost, that she was walking Mary. Then she gave me a flower and said she hoped I found my way home, too."

He heard Sai gasp slightly and looked up. She cleared her throat, "Ignore me."

He looked her over again before continuing, "That night when the base exploded, an exploding mobile suit was knocked over by the force…It fell into the building and destroyed it… Amongst the rubble the next day, I found Mary…"

He took a deep breath and looked down. He closed his eyes as they began to sting. He rubbed them slightly.

"Heero? Are you okay?" he heard Sai ask in concern.

"Fine. Some dirt must've got in my eyes…" He felt a hand rest on his shoulder and opened his eyes. He had to blink a few times to clear his vision. He found himself staring into the sapphires that were Sai's eyes.

She lifted her other hand and wiped something wet from his cheek. She looked at him in understanding, "Your head began to hurt. At the same time, your chest and throat began to tighten. You wanted to scream in agony, but you're not in physical pain. Then your eyes began to burn as if someone threw sand in them, right?"

Heero looked at her in shock, "How did you know that?"

The blond smiled sadly, "You want to cry, Heero. That's what that feeling is. Even now, you're letting tears fall…" She wiped his cheek again.

"How do you make the feeling stop?" Heero asked, feeling helpless.

"If I knew, I'd tell you. My best advice is to just let it out," Sai answered.

Heero shook his head, "No, I can't. Crying shows one's weakness."

"It takes strength to show what's in your heart," she corrected, "Pain or no pain."

Heero knew that she was right. But he still couldn't shake this feeling that he had: fear. "Will I have to go through this alone?"

Sai looked at him in surprise, before smiling and shaking her head, "No, I'll stay here as long as you like."
