Chapter 1

"I know I should have brought that lens to be fixed", the brunette said while looking at the princes of the camera lenses. She looks at her precious camera with in her hand with the broken lenses attach to the camera. "I guess I just have to get back in Orb. The price here is really over my budget".

Miriallia Haw was holding onto her precious photography equipment while she walks down on a famous street in Europe. She was hoping to get a new camera lenses to replace the one that was cracked three months ago. She has managed to complete that photo collection with old lenses without fail. Since then, she has felt something's missing in her life. It's as if someone precious to her has disappeared. The last time she felt this was when she last her boyfriend, Tolle Keonig, in the first Bloody Valentine War.

The brunette pushes the though behind her as she worries about her current problem. She is in needs to get some new inspiration for her next photo collection fast or else she would be in deep trouble. But for past three months, she has not managed to get any new inspiration and her first deadline is coming closer. What makes matters worse was she was unable to find get new lenses for her camera.

Miriallia Haw heaves a sigh and continues down the busy streets. Then, a peculiar store's fox sculptures have caught her attention. It was a bronze sculpture of three baby foxed and a mother fox. She was amazed at their craftsmanship and a certain blond hair Coordinator's flashes through her memories and smiled.

She realized what was in her thought and blush slightly. "Why am I thinking about that idiot in a time like these?" But her smile quickly turned into a frown. "Why do I feel so empty now?" she mumbles.

"Is there anything that I could help you with miss?"

Miriallia was startled by the manager's voice. She looks him with a smile and asked, "I would like to know how much will it be for this collection of fox sculptures?"

The manager nodded. "You sure have a good eyes miss", the manager said. He took up the bronze sculpture. "This is one delicate sculpture and it's the last one miss. It's only 2,500 Euro".

"Two thousand and five hundred?" she exclaimed. Miriallia smiled sheepishly and asked, "Is there any one that's a bit cheaper?"

The manager frowns and places the sculpture down. "I think this one would be to your liking miss". He brought her the sculpture with a fox chasing after a hare. "It is also our last one and it's only cost eighty nine Euros"

Miriallia took the sculpture for a closer inspections and smiles. "I'll take this one then". She paid the managed and took her goods before leaving the store. She smiles when a soft breeze greeted her and played with her hair. "I wonder what is he doing right now?"

The brunette was enjoying the cool breeze and the warm sun when someone accidently knocked her down and she landed on her butt. She was surprised when saw it was a tanned man with blond hair that knocked onto her.

"I'm sorry miss, but I'm in a hurry!" the man shouted before disappearing in the crowd.

"Is that Dearka?" Miriallia asked. Reality had hit her hard when she saw that her bag and her goods were lying on the ground. "My babies!"

She quickly looks through her things and was relief when nothing was broken. Mirlailia stood up and dusted her pants as she glared at the direction where the blond man has disappeared. If it is really Dearka, I'm going to get even the next time we meet, she thought angrily.

"I'm sorry to be late Ms. Kisato. I seem to have gotten lost on my way here", the blond man with violet eyes apologized.

"Do you know how long I have been waiting for you Dearka?" the blond woman said angrily.

Dearka smiled and apologized. "Like I said, I got lost on my way. I'm sorry". He noticed some bags were beside her and looks at her with a puzzled look. "Are those things…"

Kisato look behind her and smile. "Yup! These are things that I have brought. For your punishment, you will help me carry some of them back to the ReHOME", she said.

"Well, that won't be a problem but… Are these really the things Mr. Lowe asked us to buy?" he asked. "I remember Mr. Lowe told us to get some supplies for everyone and tech supplies to repair the ship".

"Well, he didn't say I could not buy things for myself with the spare money, did he?" she asked, and gave him an intense stare.

Dearka scratch his head and answer, "I guess not."

Kisato smiled and quickly shoved her things onto Dearka's arms and was forced to be her servant. "Be careful not to break any of the things alright! They are antiques that I have found in this area".

"An-Antiques? These junks?" he asked while following her from behind.

"Of course!" she replies. Kisato Yamabuki's eyes sparkles when she looked at the antique music box. "This music box was made in the 18th century and it has been used by the queen before she died".

The blond hair man sighs and asked, "But then, why are you getting all this ju- I mean antiques?"

The blond female, which was walking along side with the man, eyed him carefully. "These things are essential for our trip to Orb. Besides," the female took out a music box from the bag, "you could not find this stuff anywhere on the Earth. They only sell it here in Europe".

Dearka still could not get her intention. "But what does it has to do with everyone else on the ship?" he asked. Then he realized the things they needed were missing, all of them that was on the list given to her. "It seems that you have yet to buy the supplies Mr. Lowe had asked us to".

The Coordinator was about to put the bags down when the female cling onto his arm. "Awe, come on Dearka. Just help me get these things back onto the ReHOME. I promised I will help you when we go for the supplies later", she pleaded.

Dearka blushed whenever Kisato did this cause he could feel her chest rubbing on his arm. "Ms. Kisato please…" He looks around and saw people was giving them a strange look. Kisato began to turn on her puppy eyes. Dearka sweat drops and sigh in defeat. "All right, I will help you with these things Ms. Kisato. So please let go".

Kisato cheers as she released her hand from Dearka's arms. "Thank you Dearka!"

Dearka sighs and said, "But I know that the Professor is not going to like this one bit".

"Just leave the Professor to me. You just help me get my stuff into the ReHOME", She said, giving him a wink at the end.

Dearka feels that he will be in deep shit when they reached their destination. And his instinct was right when Kisato just pushes all the blame onto him. Poor Dearka was left there to hear the Professor's lecture about buying useless things. No matter how hard Dearka tried to explain, the Professor would not believe him at all.

In the end, Dearka is saved when Lowe Gear and Liam Garfield came back from their part of tech shopping. Both Liam and Lowe get the whole picture when they heard Dearka's part of the story. Liam has also notice something peculiar in the things.

"Wait a minute Professor", Liam cut in. "I think Dearka might be the innocent one this time". He took out a dress gown from the things.

The Professor and Lowe gave Liam and puzzled look. "What does that dress has to do with this Liam? And where did you get it anyway?" the Professor asked.

Liam smiled and looks at Dearka then back at the Professor. "Could you answer me this professor? What would Dearka do with all this female accessories?" he asked.

The Professor was surprised when she heard him said female accessories. She quickly digs in and looks through the things again. "Kisatoooo!" she growled in a low and dangerous voice as she turn and glared at the blond hair female, who was about to leave the room.

The female Natural stop and look at the Professor. Kisato smiled nervously as she come clean after some 'persuading' from the Professor. She apologized to Dearka for pushing her blames onto him.

"As for your punishment, your junks will be confiscated as this ships assets. You will have to pay them off if you want to reclaim them back", the professor said.

"EHHHHHHH!" Kisato wailed, cried and pled the professor to give her back her things.

"You said something Kisato Yamabuki?" The professor said in a cold and dangerous voice. The noise Kisato turns quiet and left the room with her tail and ears down. She turns and looks at Dearka. "I'm sorry for accusing you Dearka".

"It's alright Professor. I'm just glad it was over", he said. Dearka was about the leave the room when Liam asked where is he going. "There's still time left before our departure. So I was thinking of getting the supplies before we leave the port"

"Do you have any money left after the last 'outing' Dearka?" Liam asked. Dearka blushed and shook his head. "I'll go with you this time. We will be back in a bit guys". Both Coordinators left the ship and heads towards the Market area.

The shopping itself did not take long so Liam decided to bring Dearka around hoping the local sceneries would trigger any of his past memories. "Shall we try the park since it's the closest to us?" Liam asked.

Dearka nodded.

The Portside Park was one of the convenience parks for the locals to enjoy. It was also a local playground for the younger kids to play and exercise. Elderlies were playing boards games by the gazebos, parents were enjoying their times with their kids while some sibling were off playing by the jungle gym or their older siblings.

Dearka smiled seeing the scene. "There is a similar park in the PLANTs as well, Yzak and I always head over to play when our parents were having their councilor's meeting", he whispered. Then he felt a slight pain from his head.

THUMP! THUMP!

"Did you say something Dearka?" Liam asked.

Dearka looks at him and shook his head. "Nothing really. Was I mumbling on something Mr. Liam?" he asked. The pain hits again, this time harder. Dearka help onto his head as he collapsed onto one knee.

THUMP! THUMP!

"Dearka? Dearka are you alright?" Liam asked worriedly.

Dearka was breathing heavily and look up. All he could see a blurry vision of Liam's outline. "My head!" he gasped.

He began seeing imaged of a brunette woman swilling in front of him in an unknown place. Where is this place? Who are you? He thought.

THUMP! THUMP!

The woman was offering him something to eat. They were happy together but he could see sadness in her eyes. Why are you sad? Who is making you cry? He thought.

Just as fast as his headache comes it was gone the net moment, along with the images he had just saw. "What was that?" he asked.

"Are you feeling better Dearka?" Liam asked.

Dearka nodded. He looks at Liam and saw that he was standing higher in front of him. He looks around and found that he was sitting down on a bench. "Eh? Why am I sitting on the bench when I was knelling just now?" he asked.

Liam looks surprised. "You were having your migraine attack just now. I guess you did not realize when I moved you here", he said. "So did you remember anything?" Dearka shook his head. "I see". Liam took his seat beside Dearka. "I guess there's no rushing thing. Your memories will comes back to you when the time comes".

"Can I ask you something Mr. Liam?" Liam nodded. "Why did you, a junkie, save a ZAFT soldier like myself?"

Liam look surprised but smiled and answer, "It's our Junkie's come, 'to help those that are in needs'. Beside you is a Coordinator like myself. How could I not help one of my kind?" Dearka was surprised by his simple answer. "I don't think I have told you the story about how we found you right?"

Dearka shook his head. Liam smiled and begins his story.

= Flashback =

The Junk Guild were having problem with their incomes after the peace were established between the Earth and the PLANTs three months ago. Yes, they are still working as Junkies but only to those who really need the parts for repairing thing. Their regulars have not contacted them since the peaceful times begin, except for the PLANTs and the Orb Union. Lowe and his companions are trying their best to earn the money just to pass through the month. But thanks to Lowe's little girlfriend, Kisato, what they are earning now was not enough to even cover them for their basic supplies. They were really going through their trouble times until they pass through a destroyed colony.

"WE HAVE HIT THE JACKPOT EVERYONE!" Lowe shouted in delight. To a Junkie, a destroyed colony, especially the one where a battle has just finished, is a gold mine to them. Lowe quickly got onto his Astray Red Frame and was the first to got out from the ReHOME. "Hurry up you guys or the other junkies will dry this gold mine up", he urged.

"There's no need for the rush Lowe", Liam said as he pilots the Kimera. "We are the only ones here right now. Besides, this colony is still fresh from its last battle".

"Who cares about fresh or cold? We will not have to worry about our money problem again as long as it is still full of junkies material in there", Kisato said. "Let's get started with the scavenging guys".

She was the first to start her jobs.

It seems that she's really eager to get out from their money shortage problem, Liam thought.

Lowe joins in soon after as he went deeper into the colony.

I guess there are no harms into getting more cash than what we are having now, Liam thought and sighs. We are in need of money for the month.

He pilots his Kimera around the colony for a closer look around the area. He know this place but due to the damaged done here he could not recognized it. Then out of the blue, a stray thought comes around. Could this be the Mendel Colony?

His thoughts were confirmed when he saw some familiar lifeless life pod floating around the area. Liam felt sick to see this place again but he was happy that it was destroyed. Now no one will be able to use this colony again.

"Liam, have you found anything around your area?" Lowe asked thought the channels. "There are tones of gold here. Care to give me a hand?"

"Sure! I'll be there in a mi-" Liam stops when his Kimera's sensors picked up something nearby. "Lowe, I'll be with you in a minute. I think I have struck gold here as well"

"Really? Then I'll see you back in the ReHOME later on", he said and cut the transmission.

Liam moves closer to the floating object. He was shocked to see that it was a cockpit of a ZAFT mobile suit.

"The cockpit seems to be undamaged. But how is that possible?" Liam asked.

He pilot closer to the cockpit and picked it up with the robotic claws of his Kimera. Then he did a heat scan and is shocked with the result.

He knows that someone is watching him and he could also hear them talking to each other. But who are these people? He tried to move his body but he could not. It seems that he doesn't have the strength to even move a finger. Is he alive or is he dead?

I'm alive all right, he thought, but where am I?

He wanted to open his eyes and asked the people that are around him. But the more he tried the more pain he felt through out his body. He knew his struggle was in vain. His body is not listening to his mind. It's as if his mind and body were two separate entities.

Instead of staying awake, his body demanded that he go back into the darkness.

Do I really have to rest? I am feeling a little tired.

Without any struggle he gave in again to the darkness.

Kisato was in charged to take care of the patient that Liam has brought in from their scavenging hunt recently. The Professor was against the idea but she had no choice except to go along since it is their code to help those that are in needs.

Liam came into the Infirmary and noticed that Kisato was not around. "I guess she's off snooping somewhere again", he sighs.

He looks at the bed where a blond hair man with tanned skin was sleeping on. He was severely injured when Liam brought him in and it was a miracle that he actually survived after the wreckage of the destroyed colony. Liam went over and sat on the stool.

"How are you doing?" Liam asked the unconscious man. "You have been sleeping for three days. Are you planning to sleep forever after all you have been though?"

The black hair coordinator knows that he would not get any reply from the unconscious man but it was still a good try. He sighs even though knowing his end results. As Liam was about to leave the room, he heard some noise coming from the unconscious man. He turned around and saw the blond man was moving slightly before he slowly opens his violet eyes.

He looks around before he saw Liam standing there. "Where… I?" the blond man rasped throatily, "Who… are you?"

"I'm and Liam Garfield. Do you remember what happen?" The blond man eyes widened and began to breath heavily. "Calm down or you will hurt yourself".

"Who, who am I?" he asked, looking scared.

Liam was shocked when he heard it. Hemust have lost his memories after the wreckage, he thought.

The black hair coordinator calms the blond man down. He smiled warmly and said, "You are in the ReHOME and you are save with us. I'm one with the Junk Guilds and you are a soldier from the ZAFT. Your name is Dearka Elsman"

= End of flashback =

"And that's how you ends up being stuck with us for now", Liam finished his story. He looks as Dearka who has been quiet since the beginning. "Did you manage to absorb all of it Dearka?"

Dearka looks at him and nodded. "I guess I'm fortunate to be saved. But why do I feel so unfortunate at the same time?"

"I guess it's because you have lost your past". Dearka looks at Liam with a puzzled look. "Someone who has lost their past can never gain their future. So you need to get your past back in order to get you future back".

Dearka began to think after hearing Liam's words.

Liam could see that Dearka was learning new thinks even though he lost his olds. "Let's get back to the ship then shall we?" He stood up and dusts the back of his pants. "It's about time for us to leave".

Dearka stood up and grab the bags of things as he follows Liam out the park. "Where do you think we will be going next Mr. Liam?"

"I'm guessing the Orb Union. The Professor has a good friend that could help us in the ship's repair", he said, taking his share of things from Dearka's hand.

Orb Union. Will I be able to meet her, the girl that has been appearing in my dream all this while? Dearka thought as he prepare for the takeoff.
