Hiya... My first actual fanfic. This is the prologue. I decided to write this because I have so many ideas, and although I'm an artist and not a writer, I decided to make my ideas come to life (since I hadn't found anything that satisfied my hunger). Hope you like it…
Disclaimer: I do not own either Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing, no matter how many times I've asked Santa Claus…
Prologue
Rei couldn't stand it anymore. The cold seeped through her soaking clothes to her slender frame, but she didn't care. She kept running- she didn't know where or for how long, but she just didn't want to be there anymore. A sick, twisted ballad played in her head like a broken record- "I'm sorry…"
'I'm sorry my ass!' Rei screamed in reply to the apology that, although sincere, cut through her like a knife and the pain coursed through her like venom. 'How could you do this…? How could you do this to me? What did I do to deserve this?'
She ran as the rain became heavier and pushed her 11 year old body to the ground. Her tears streamed down her face, mixing with the rain. 'Mama,' she sobbed, folding her barely covered legs to her chest. 'Mama, I miss you… why did you have to leave Daddy and me?'
As the rain slowly let up she got back on her feet and walked fast, not giving up on her mission of getting as far away as possible. 'Daddy doesn't need me… nobody can replace my Mama! Why would he do this…?' She barely cared if he was chasing her- if it was so easy to replace her mother then it would be just as easy to replace her.
The young girl ran down streets, through parks, backyards, anywhere, until she couldn't stand it and passed out from exhaustion.
As Rei opened her eyes she felt a body next to her. She slowly rose to see a boy with scruffy brown hair lying down on the ground next to her and her previously wet body completely dry and covered with blankets. She wasn't in a place she recognized, she just knew she was in an alley of some sort with a concrete bridge-type thing above her head.
"Achoo!"
Rei's involuntary sneeze woke up the sleeping boy next to her. He jerked awake and startled Prussian eyes looked up at her as striking violet stared anxiously back.
"Are you ok?" the boy asked in a concerned voice. He had vaguely seen her collapse in the rain, her outwardly frail body seeming to fall apart. With nobody else around to ask for help, and only his "clubhouse" as close shelter, he only slightly struggled in carrying her to the dry place that she awoke in.
Rei was about to reply when she realized a dizzy sensation that enveloped her. She nearly fell over but was caught by the boy.
"I'm fine… who are you?" Rei couldn't hide the flush
"I'm Heero Yuy." He held his hand out to help the young girl up.
"I-I'm Rei Hi-Hi-Achoo!" Rei tried to introduce herself, covering her face like she was taught to when she sneezed. "Sorry…"
Then, out of nowhere, Rei began to cry. Heero, being a confused little boy, didn't know what to do except pat his hand on her back and wonder what caused her tears.
Years later he would learn that it took something massive to make the usually strong willed girl cry.
Is this a Heero/Rei fanfic? Well, you may just have to review and stick around to find out. Hehe, I do love Rei though, and don't think I'm just gonna stick two people together. I'm going to attempt development (hehe).
