Chapter 33
*******************
Flashes of the Past
*******************
Serena ran out of the training room and suddenly ran into a hard, warm surface. Strong arms wrapped around her before she could fall.
Serena looked up into dark prussian blue eyes. "Heero." She whispered.
Heero looked intently down at her. "Why were you running?" he asked.
Serena bit into her lip and lowered her lashes as she secretly looked at the slightly open door to the training room, hoping the Wufei wouldn't come running out after her. That he would stay right where he was. She smiled innocently up at Heero. "No reason."
He raised an eyebrow. He let the matter drop, for now. He reluctantly let her go and stepped back away from her slightly.
Serena circled her arms around herself as she looked up at him closely, getting a flash of something she doesn't remember doing.
She was holding a gun to his face and he was doing the same. When did that happen? She eyes him with slightly glazed eyes as she whispers, "Move."
Heero's eyes widen. "Serena?"
She blinks and her eyes refocus. "Hmmm?"
He just shook his head. "Never mind." He turned abruptly and walked away, not looking back.
Serena gazed after him, wondering what was going on with him.
*
Serena stepped into her room and closed the door behind her as she leaned back on it. She sighs and closes her eyes. What is the matter with me?
She opens her eyes and gazes around the room that was supposedly hers. Nothing in it looked familiar.
She kept leaning on the door and stared at her bed, slightly sleepy. Her eyes droop to half-mast as a swirling vision superimposes itself over what she was actually seeing.
She saw herself in the bed with Heero sleeping in the chair besides the bed. She smiles as she slowly moves towards the image but just as she was about to touch Heero it disappeared like a dream fades with the night.
Serena halts in her steps and looks at the empty chair. Am I going crazy? That couldn't have happened. The Heero I know would never just sleep by my bed for no reason. I must be dreaming. Maybe it's a product of my head injury.
She bites at her lip as she curls up in the empty chair and closes her eyes. "Oh I wish.." her sentence cut off by drowsiness and she falls asleep.
*
The Pilots were gathered in the living room discussing Serena.
"It was just weird. One minute she was there and the next she was gone." Stated Quatre. Trowa nodded his agreement.
Wufei looked up from his lap, his cheeks tinted a light rose just thinking about Serena. He coughed and straightened up. "Then she appeared in the training by means other than the door for I was standing right in front of it and she couldn't have gotten in without my knowledge yet she managed it. Weird that one." He muttered. He closes his eyes as he relives the kiss they shared in the empty training room and shuddered from unknown feelings.
Heero looked at Wufei intently. "Then she runs into me and I think she remembered something because her eyes glazed over, like she was seeing something only she could see. She then said 'move' which she said to me when we were playing in the woods." He shrugs. "I just don't know what to make of her anymore."
"I couldn't believe when I walked into the music room that both Quatre and Serena were playing the violin. She said she didn't remember ever learning to play or anything and we all know she remembers things about her life before she met us so where did the talent come from?" asked Trowa.
Duo piped up for the first time. "So that was what I was hearing when I turned on the intercom. It sounded so good I fell asleep to it." He smiles and snuggles into the couch he was sitting on.
They all think to themselves about the weird, mysterious, and beautiful girl that tumbled into their lives.
All of them found their gazes were directed upward towards said girl.
*
Serena was still in the chair shivering even though the window was closed and it was a warm night. The moon and stars were out and twinkling in the twilight.
Her eyes were moving from side to side as she dreamed. Images flashing across her mind.
Finding a weird cat..
Meeting new friends..
Kneeling before a boy who seemed to be dead. "Darien!"
A huge evil woman staring down at her as she stood upon an ice sculpture with a weird crescent moon thing in her hand..
Dying..
Remembering..
Two weird kids and their weird tree..
A dark upside down crescent moon. something about people named after precious stones. Ruby. Sapphire. Emerald. Diamond!
A little girl with pink hair and red eyes..
Her little girl
Rini!
"RINI!"
Serena sat up in her chair and screamed.
The Pilots shot out of their relaxed positions and raced up the stairs to Serena's room and crashed through the door.
Quatre got to her first and gazed down at her for a second.
She was sitting in the chair beside her bed with her arms wrapped around her legs and rocking back and forth. She had tear tracks down her face and more were coming and she kept muttering something.
Quatre moved closer to her and wrapped his arms around her. "Serena what is it?" he whispered.
The other guys crowded in around them and gazed down at the stricken girl with concern.
"Rini." She whispered.
"What was that?" asked Quatre.
"Rini." She stated louder.
"Who is Rini?" Quatre looked up at his friends in utter confusion. They didn't think she had any other relatives or friends.
"I don't know but she's mine." Was all she said as she buried her head in Quatre's shoulder and sobbed.
The Pilots all looked at each other in bewilderment. Who in the world was Rini? And why did Serena say she was hers?
Everyone but Quatre filed out of the room but both Heero and Wufei looked back with longing looks.
He carried her to her bed and tried to get her to let go of him but her drip wouldn't let up. He sighed as he climbed in with her and wrapped his arms tightly around her, protectively. "Oh Serena, what's wrong?"
He cuddled close to her and put his head close to hers. "Let me help you." He whispered. He closed his eyes and fell asleep with Serena spooned against his front.

"That Quatre is so gentle with our Serena. I really like him. And he plays the violin!" Aqua eyes shine.
"Please. He's a pansy. That Wufei could take better care of our Princess." Blue eyes challenged Aqua.
"I was thinking Trowa myself." Two pairs of eyes turned to greet garnet eyes.
"Duo!" someone else squealed. All three turned to their little companion and one answered. "You have got to be kidding me." Blue eyes looked skyward.
"Duo!" she insisted and crossed her arms as her purple eyes glared at the other three.
