A Gundam Romance
Disappearing into the crowd
I waved my hand at your turned back
Until yesterday, it all seemed like a lie
Laughing until I cry
We hold hands and I gaze at you
Always (your) fragrance (vaguely)
Causes me heartache
I was selfish,
we'd had petty arguments
But I didn't know a day would come
that we couldn't see each other ever again
I'll chase that day
When we can confess all our feelings,
The wind and the sky, still
Will surround us,
just us two.
Thinking about tomorrow
Running past that small feeling
Surely (somewhere) we will follow (this tiny)
Pathway and keep on walking
Now I'm all alone In the night,
I want to see you
But even now my lines of words don't reach you
That day, we were in each other's arms
That defined my happiness,
I'll never forget
I became so attached to you
I wish I could go back to that time.
That day, I saw a dream.
I will never forget your eyes.
The wind and sky,
surely Will wipe away my pain.

1: Duo's Encounter with the Past
Flash:
A Heero and Duo walked down the hallway of the school they were currently taking residence at, they noticed two girls in the hall. One was taller, and seemed older. Duo winked at the two girls, and Heero just ignored them as usual.
Placing his hands behind his head, Duo grinned. His dark brown bangs hung over his eyes a bit. "I could get used to this school."
During computer class, Heero accessed the internet and was searching through the databases on different things. Duo was the only one who was seemingly aware of what was going on. The same taller girl walked by and smirked.
She had blond hair, down and in a tossled shag. Along with the schoolgirl outfit, she might have been a knockout, had she not been so reserved to make new friends. She had bright blue eyes and a smirk on her face. Leaning over on Duo's shoulder she grinned. "Ahh, the net. Better watch out. Someone got on there last night and sent a virus through the whole system, so they're paying attention to what you look up. "She whispered, discreetly.
Heero looked up as well as Duo. She gave a wink and stood up. She was American, like Duo. Even though Duo was basically the same age, he still remained a foot shorter. He looked up slightly and she laughed. Her name was Kris Lee. She had transferred from a catholic school known as Saint Agnita and there were plenty of rumors about her.
Some had said she got in trouble for beating up a teacher, others said she was doing terrible there. However, there were so many question marks above her head, she even had Heero's attention at times.
Her best friend, Jessica Elizabeth, was also from Saint Agnita. She had long light blond hair, spirally because of a perm. She was also the most chesty of all the girls in the school, with Kris coming in second, and was the most sought after girl.
Technically, they were average in the subjects, but Kris displayed great agility in gym, and wonderful talent in Art class. Jessica was also famous for her poetry, that was periodically read before class.
Flash:
Heero and Duo ran across the courts, totally psyching out the other players. As Heero sank the shot, the spectators erupted in applause. Duo looked up at Heero. "Hey wave. They're cheerin' for us!"
From the sidelines, holding a volleyball and looking very exotic, Kris smiled at them. She waved to Duo, and Duo waved back. He walked over and they began to talk. "You two looked really good out there." She said, still with that gorgeous smile on her face. "It's almost like you were born to be physical." She spun the volleyball on her finger and tossed it to him. "But what gets me, is how come Heero's so damn quiet!"
Duo laughed as a perplexed look came on her face. "Is it because he was born mute and just underwent an operation, or is there a slightly demented secret that involves aliens that we don't know about?"
He shook his head and punted the volleyball over the net. "Nah. He's just naturally unfriendly. I said, 'Hey! You'll never get a girl actin' so serious, you gotta loosen up!"
Kris just smiled and turned around. "You never know Duo. Some girls like the strong silent type. Then again," She continued with a wink. "They don't like the type that tries to kill them, either."
That was the last time he ever saw Kris. They transferred soon after, but he knew that Kris was well aware of something. What, he just didn't know.
He did mention it to Heero, however. Heero, just as expressionless as ever, just shrugged and said, "If we run across her, we'll kill her. Most likely we won't though. She's pretty smart on her own, and she's even impressed me. Same with Jessica. Both of them will have to die."
Flash:
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" He screamed until he thought he might pass out. People were staring at the screen as Deathscythe's armor crumpled off the frame. The scythe exploded into shrapnel, and as it did, so did Duo's heart. He sank to his knees and grabbed his arm, digging into it with his fingers to keep from crying.
Gathering his strength he stood up and walked to an alleyway, where he slid down the cold brick wall to the pavement. Hours passed like seconds, and soon it was midnight. People had left, save for the homeless, or the drunkards. Tears streamed down his face silently. It was as if a part of him had died. As if the night was in sympathy with him, it began to rain. First a slow sprinkle, and then a downpour.
He didn't realize the thunder over his own thinking. Suddenly a light shone in the alleyway. It clicked off slightly, and Duo stood up, shaken, angry, and wounded.
Someone stepped towards him in the shadows. "Who are you?!" Duo stammered, raising a gun. The person continued to step forward. His finger pulled the trigger, not thinking.
The mysterious shadow leapt in the air like a cat, dodging the attack, and kicked the gun out of his hand, sending it flying against the brick wall. Duo then ran at the shadow in a blind fury.
Tears streamed down his face as he fought, but the person grabbed his hand and flung him up against a wall. "Duo it's me!"
He looked up through his indigo eyes and saw Kris. Her hair was pulled back into a tight ponytail with a few wet strands hanging down. She was wearing a black tanktop and a strange pair of red baggy pants and gloves. She looked different, almost an equal.
Duo didn't care, it was someone who he knew. He lowered his head, trying to hide the tears. She took off his hat and stroked his hair, leaning down to kiss a tear off his cheek, amidst the rain. "Come on. I'll get you somewhere safe. No Gundam pilot needs to be out after that."
She put his arm around her shoulder and helped him to her motorcycle. She got on and him behind her. She wrapped his arms around her waist and as she pulled on the helmet, said, "Hang on."
Flash:
In a hotel room, Duo woke up. It was still raining. Kris sat on the edge of the bed, yawning. "This is strange...how...how do you know?" He asked, now confused.
Kris smiled at him and winked. "My name is Kris, code name, Night. I am part bounty hunter, and a space pirate from a small colony of rebels against Oz and the Alliance known as Eclipse. I tracked the Gundam Pilots for years, keeping an eye on you five, considering I'm the same age. I came to help you, but I don't have long before I have to leave, because Quatre is in trouble right now. His father just killed himself, and he and his sister are stuck on a ship."
Duo's eyes widened as Kris stood up. She was dressed in a black body suit with the mecha armor on her hands and feet. "I'm sorry I couldn't help you sooner. Had I been in space at the time, maybe the Gundam you call Deathscythe wouldn't have been destroyed." Turning around she smiled. "Don't worry about the room. Stay here as long as you like, it's on me." The door shut, and Duo stared, motionless.
"Quatre."
Flash:
Heero stared at Kris from the room on the ship. He recognised her instantly. "What are you doing here?" He asked in the cell. Kris tossed him a gun and handed him a metal pick.
"Ninja rulebook, chapter eighteen. Always come prepared. Obvioiusly you're not. I'm not here to help you, hun, I'm here to talk to Trowa, and then go after Quatre."
She heard a click and the shackles were off. "You know too much." He said, suddenly."
Kris smiled and looked up as the gun was aimed at her. Just as she suspected. Heero thought of her as an obstacle that would fall before the Gundam legend. *Note: The Gundam Legend for those of you who don't know it, is that if anyone sees a Gundam in person, they are destined to die.*
She crossed her arms. "Kill me. Not like you'd be able to. I have ten times as much training as you. I know you." Her eyes narrowed to the same blank stare as his own.
"I am just as cruel as you, without losing my humanity." Heero was shocked to see a spark come from her hands, where the armor was. It also appeared in her feet, and before he even had time to think, the gun flew across the room. He grabbed his hand and looked at her.
"That's right Heero. I may not play a big part like you in this whole war, but I sure as hell plan on making an exit." She leapt out the hole that she had created. "Taa-taa!"
Heero stared blankly at the wall. "What the hell was that?"
