It took a while for Quatre to convince the boys it had been stress that finally caught up with him that was why he fainted. Trowa was still being a mother hen to him but did he mind.. no. He smiled to himself. He could hear Dou's reaction already. 'All right way to go Q-ball. 'Bout time too!' He couldn't wait to tell him.
Quatre let out a sigh as he watched the gates to the Peacecraft Academy pass by. Here they were to protect Relina once again, but this time no one was to know. Not even Relina herself. They didn't know who this new pilot was-though Quatre knew it had to be Dou. As far as everyone was concerned they decided to finish schooling. They weren't even going to get many missions. Just whatever Une decided to give them. This was going to be one long school year.
"Go," his sisters said. "Have fun, you deserve to be a teen for once. Don't worry we can run things for you." He sighed again. Trowa touched his arm in concern. Quatre turned and smiled to him before laying his head on Trowa's shoulder. Allah how he loved him! He gave another giggle. He could hear Dou again.
'Awe, ain't that sweat. You know Q-man if you lean a little farther down.."
Quatre stopped there. He was holding laughter and blushing madly. Trowa looked at the other two and shrugged. As long as his little one was happy he didn't care.
They finally stopped at the entrance of the school. Quatre was the last to get out. He gave a brief smile to the others before looking east to a large hill. On top was Dou's blank grave. This way Dou could always look over the peace he helped obtain. But what he saw made him freeze. The large monument was still there but it was what he seen next to it that had him pale and shaking. He began to whimper and hit at Trowa. Trowa spun around worried. Trowa couldn't even get a word out before Quatre clung to him and pointed towards the grave marker.
If he hadn't been a soldier all his life and seen the things he had seen he was sure he would be passed out or on the brink of insanity. Now he was never Catholic or did he really believe in any one religion, but something he remembered a comrade say could one describe what he felt.
"Jesus, Mary, Joseph and Michael save us."
At his oddly panicked voice Heero and Wufei turned to find out what was amiss. They found Quatre stuttering and Trowa blinking rapidly both very pale. They followed their gaze. What they saw had them stumped and a little and the frightened side. There was no thing as Ghost, right? There was no way in the Earth's sphere could that be anyone but one person.
Only one person would be swinging his arms like propellers in excitement. Only one person would be yelling at his own grave, kick it then yell at it again for hurting him. Only one person would then cross his arms in a huff before breaking down in to uncontrollable laughter.
"Dou." Quatre whispered out finally then shouts his name before taking off towards the monument. The others followed close behind him. They cursed though when they had to go through a line of trees loosing sight of the top of the hill for a few moments. When they reached the others side what ever or who ever they had seen was no longer there.
They reached the top panting. Once they caught their breaths they looked around. There was evidence of some one living had been there. The footprints found though were of the same boots that Dou always wore.
Heero was quick to move. He spotted a tape recorder on a ledge of the monument he lunged at it and snatched it up. He turned and showed the others. They each gave a nod and waited to hear what was on it. Once he hit the play button what came out was not something they had expected.
Little snippets of movies were played each of the themes of someone or something being back. The last one was of the little girl from Poltergeist and her trademark they're heeeeeeeerrrrrrreeeeeeee. Silence for a few seconds before Slim Shaddy's 'With Out Me.' (one of my personal faves I might add /B-chan: yeah that list is including the one of him with his wife on the marshal mathers lp) Half way through the song Heero growled threw the recorder down pulled out his handy dandy gun and fired before turning and stomping down the hill with plots of killing the person who was sick enough.
"That was dishonorable and sick." Wufei spat out before giving the little piece of machinery a glare and stormed off following Heero. Quatre looked after them a little hurt.
"It wasn't a joke." He unknowingly whispered out.
"You maybe right and then again so are they." Trowa told him before walking towards the school. Quatre began to follow but only took a couple steps before he turned and grabbed what was left of the recorder. With luck he could patch the tape together and see if there was anything else on it. He knew in his heart some how that there was more to that tape than what they heard and this time it would be important. He raced after Trowa. Trowa wrapped his arms around his shoulders.
"Don't worry little one. Things will work out and get better."
Eyes swirling of blue, violet and cobalt with threats of tears watched them from tree branches above their heads. The lips that belong to the eyes smirked.
'How right you are Trowa. At least I knew Q believe in I am still alive.'
The owner watched with a few tears slipping as the down spirited boys made their way to the school. Though frozen for an instance when Heero looked from the doors as if he could see who was watching the group. The eyes were shut tight as he pleaded Heero really didn't see him. He peaked open to catch the last of Heero slipping through the doors. He gave a big sigh and a slight smile.
"There you are!"
A voice growled below him startling him enough he almost lost balance and fell. He had to hold onto the tree to prevent from taking a nosedive. He looked down and gave a goofy grin to one Haruka Tenoh that had a satisfied smirk on his face (yes I meant to put his on purpose. It is apart of the story you will see.).
"Ain't funny." He grumbled/yelled back.
"Miss Relena is looking for you. She needs you to, ironically, show the FOUR new arrivals to their rooms."
He began to bang his head into the tree's trunk till the pain sunk in.
"If you are Quite through we have to hurry and you to disguise your self."
He rolls his eyes and makes he way down through the branches. On the last one he stopped and sat down now shoulder height to the tall boy.
"Ruka-chan, you have never really told me how you were able to come here. I want a straight and answer and now and I will pull rank if need be." After a few seconds in silence he began again. "Why? Why did you come here? If it is to bring me back you can forget it I can't and will not go back to that destiny."
Haruka pulled himself up to sit next to him on the branch stuffing the braid in his mouth to shut him up.
"I don't know why Firefly followed you will have to ask here. As for me.. did it ever occur to you that this was my home once as well. Before Setsuna brought you she brought me. She thought I had forgotten all about this place, my home, my family what was left of it. There was one thing that made me remember, my little sister." Haruka paused shifting a little before beginning again. "I was away learning how to run the family business when it happened. My parents died in an explosion by OZ. They never found my little sisters body. I knew she had gotten away. Her nanny was missing as well. I asked around and found they had both taken a walk in the park that morning. I finally found the nanny she had lost my sister with no hopes of finding her in all of the confusion. I swore then that I would find her even if it cost me my last breath. She was my only light in the world my father had built for me. I also promised that once I found her I would never let her out of my sight or protection." Haruka turned and looked him in the eye. "When you told all of us of where you were from and some what of what you did. I leapt for joy."
He could only stare at Haruka. What was he getting at?
"Do you know where I was born?" he dumbly shook his head no. Haruka smiled. "My home colony was that of L2. I am the heir or the Tenoh Company the only one that rivals your mister Winner's."
His eyes widened. How stupid of him not to connect it. Kami, Wufei would never let him down if he ever found out.
"What does this have to do with me."
"Two things kenoko. One is ever since I first laid eyes on you during the Pharaoh 90 deal you reminded me of her, my little sister. Your smile, laugh, eyes, personality all together. That is why I have been partially hesitant. I know you hate doctors and everything they stand for. Only now I know why, but I want you to do a DNA test with me. Some how I know you are her." (confusing, ne?)
Silence filled the air around them. Finally he smiled. "I know one Doctor I ain't fraid of and she already has some of my blood lying around. Besides I need a few more contacts to know I am alive and to help me with my mission." Haruka nodded and smiled back. The smile quickly fell as he looked to his hands.
"The other Senshi love you. They really do. They have and will die for you again, but this.. They don't understand what we have seen. What you grew up like, how you were trained. They don't want to believe the person who hated to even hurt a Yuma could kill human life. They don't understand why you call yourself Shinigami when you are the light of life. They are only willing to believe the person they thought they knew and not who you really are. Before I left they had agreed to stop you from leaving, that you should stay and marry the Prince, bring forth Crystal Tokyo, give birth to Chibi Usa and that you are happy or WILL be happy with them. In short they want you back, kicking and screaming if need be. That is the second thing. I came here to stop them. You should have your chance at live not what destiny throws at you. Hell look at me I am doing what I want but yet still tied to my destiny. I am here protecting you."
Haruka nudged him laughing.
"Michiru?" Haruka changed she saddened even more.
"She is on the fence. She doesn't know what to do. She believes in both sides. So she stays and see if she can't get the others to not forcibly drag you back but at least talk."
He pursed his lips then snorted.
"Happy, hell Heero and Trowa isn't the only one who is a master at hiding their emotions. I have had so many masks. I have been so many people I can even fool the four of the most observant and wary men you will ever see. Not even Quatre's so called space hart could tell, he always thought I was happy. I guess I will deal with the Senshi when they arrive. Right now I have a mission and the other four to worry about.
Haruka grunted in reply as the jumped down and made their way to the school to face those four. Halfway there he looked up at Haruka and smiled.
"You know what one of the best things about being a Senshi was? I don't have to mess with all the pains of a disguise like I had to." He pulled out a familiar pink pin with a ruby jeweled top and in a flash someone else took his place.
"Time for Maxwell Smart to meet the Gundam Pilots." Haruka laughed and hugged the boy to him.
"Kenoko, never change." They both stopped looked at each other and had to laugh. It may have been lame but at the moment it was rather funny.
