Heero after registering that it was indeed Kari on the roof climbed quickly up the screen.
Kari curled up on a flat spot on the roof. This was strange, first she didn't know who she was, if she had any family, then she meets some boys and her whole life is turned upside down. The dreams it seemed had only been the beginning. So Duo was her brother. She had a brother.
Kari whipped tears from her eyes before they fell. -I can't cry, crying is weak. I promised myself never to cry again-
Memories rampaged through her mind as if a floodgate had been opened. Kari clenched her eyes shut.

"Get away from me!" A girl small in height was running from a bunch of boys in a courtyard. She climbed up an old apple tree to get away. The boys laughing began shaking the tree. "GET AWAY!"
another voice interrupted the scene. "Leave the kid alone!"
A boy ran between the others and the tree.
"And who's gonna make us shrimp? You?" asked one of the smaller dirtier boys.
The tallest of the boys backed away, from the kid. The look in his eyes was enough to kill a bear. The other boys caught the look and shivered.
"I said, leave the kid alone."
Repeat the boy standing straight arms crossed, with a scowl on his face.
The boys all backed away and turning they ran.
"Catch you later birdie!" called one of the boys at the girl.
The boy glared at them till they left then looking up at the girl noticed that she was looking down at him curiously. After climbing down both children sat under the tree.
"So your name's Kari? My name's Duo." Said the boy looking at the kid beside him.
The girl nodded at him and all of a sudden looked up. "MOVE!" she shoved him out of the way and moved to the side as a big tree branch fell. Duo ran back over to her to see her foot caught under the limb. Pulling it off her, he said. "You got a strong arm there. Your gonna stay with me. I don't got no parents but I can help you protect yourself."
-
Kari shook her head harshly. That memory…was that how they had met?
-
Kari stood among the rubble of the church she then heard a voice whispering prayer.
She turned and ran too it. "Reverend Mother Helen!" she yelled and knelt by the burned woman. "Kari?" the woman took a broken chain from around her neck which hung a silver cross. "Take it." she said. "Find Duo, find your brother I do not know if he escaped the fire or not but there is always hope."
Lady Maria then closed her eyes to the world. Kari wailed. "Reverend mother" she banged her small fists on the ground. The cross still clutched in her right hand. "No, no, no, no..."
She turned her head to see a small ring. Picking up the soot covered metal her tears increased. She banged her hands on the rubble until they bled. "Duo! Duo, you can't have died!"
-
Kari felt an arm around her shoulders, and she turned to the person not actually seeing who it was. As her frame wracked with unshed tears, not a word was said between the two. Nothing need have been said. After a while Kari fell asleep. Heero picked her up and carried her back through the stairs meeting Duo there. Duo stared at her and asked quietly, "Is she alright Heero?"
"Can't really tell Duo, I think she may be in shock." Responded Heero quietly. He then continued his treck to Kari's room. Once there he walked in the open door and set the girl on her bed. K walked up behind him. "You don't have to say anything 01. If you want to know why I did what I did ask J, he knows for he told me too do it."
Heero didn't say anything.
K continued, "I left a bowl of cool water, and a rag for her. Her nightmares might already be coming back…stay with her 01. At least for tonight."
K then left the room.
Heero not knowing why he was following orders from the woman took a cushioned chair and moved it near the foot of the bed. He then left a minute so the maid could put Kari in her pajamas. When he came back in the maid had left. Kari had curled up into a small ball and the covers had fallen to her waist. Heero walked over and pulled the covers to her shoulder. Without thinking, he pushed the bangs from Kari's face. Watching as she twitched silently in her sleep.
He stayed the night, as if guarding her from the nightmares that K said would come. He spoke to her quieting her easily and whipped the sweat from her face with the rag when the nightmares stopped. He then sat back in his chair and noticed that a blanket was folded neatly by his chair. Picking it up he recognized it as the one he had covered her with on their last encounter on the roof. With a semi-smile he sat back in the chair and covered his knees with the blanket falling asleep a short while later leaning on thesideof the bed head in his arms.
