When Mineko awoke, she was in a cold white room. She closed her eyes again.

“Oh no. Not again. Why does this always happen to me?” Mineko always ended up waking in a new hospital room, every time she went unconscious and it wasn’t in her bed.

Mineko’s vital signs rose and the machine she was hooked up to beeped rapidly. A nurse came in a pushed a button on the machine and it stopped, mid beep.

“I see you’re up.” The nurse said. She had short black hair and a clipboard in her hand.

“How long have I been out?”

“Only a few hours. The doctor says you need more sleep. You haven’t had much sleep in a while.”

“Well, if you’ve been through as much hell as I have, than you would too. Huh?” Mineko looked at the nurse. She pulled a needle out of her pocket.

“The doctor told me that as soon as you woke up, check on you and put you back to sleep. So that’s all I’m doing. It won’t hurt but for a second.”

“What do you think I am? Two? Get that thing away from me. I don’t need shot of any sort. I’ve been injected with some pretty freaked out stuff before. I don’t trust it.”

“Well. I’m sure…”

“Yes it was in a hospital! Now get it away from me!”

“Now if you’ll just calm down…” The nurse grabbed Mineko arm and injected the needle. When she pulled it away, she backed up. The medicine soon took it’s desired affect and Mineko was in Dream Land again. Only, her dreams weren’t all fun and games. Scenes of the war replayed themselves in her mind with crystal clarity. Mineko felt like she was in and episode of the Outer Limits.

When Mineko woke again. She noticed it was dark out. She expected one of the Gundam Pilots to have found out, and they had come to visit, but when she woke up the room was empty. The machine went “beep-beep-beep” again and Mineko got pissed. She reached over and unplugged it. The nurse came in the room to see Mineko, and she had an angry look on her face and her arms crossed at first.

“Now why did you unplug the machine?” She asked with a smile, as if Mineko hadn’t done anything wrong.

“It went “beep-beep-beep” and I didn’t like it.” Mineko stated, not taking her eyes off the wall in front of her. “So what did you inject in me this time? A blue chemical to freeze my blood and turn me to stone?”

“No.” The nurse was a bit shocked to hear such a thing.

“A chemical to turn me into a cat x viper?”

“Um…no. Nothing like that. It was just some sleep medicine.”

“So I’m not going to look into the mirror and find myself looking at a girl with cat ears and a snake tongue? Or feel by blood slowly and painfully freeze?”

“No.”

“Good.”

“The doctor says you can go walk around now.” The nurse unhooked Mineko’s machines and started to leave. “I’m sure you want some exercise anyway.”

“Just out of curiosity.” Mineko said before the nurse was all the way out the door. “Is there a man here named Treize Khushrenada?”

“Um. Mr. Khushrenada? Yes. He’s next on my list. Would you like to go see him?”

“If you would please.” Mineko gestured toward the door as she got up.

“Right. He’s my next patient to visit.”

Mineko fallowed the nurse down the hall and up an elevator to the third floor. They went halfway down another hall and then came to a room with the number 895 on it. The nurse opened the door and walked in. Mineko fallowed.

“You should know that he’s in a coma?”

“Yes.” Mineko walked up to the bedside of Treize and looked down at him with questioning eyes. The nurse checked a few things, and left.

“Treize.” Mineko said angrily. “You bastard. It’s was your fault that the Gundam Pilots where born into this world of hate, and it’s your fault I’m here. I know you can hear me, you just can’t do anything about it.” Mineko reached over to the machine that held his vital signs, and kept him alive. “There’s nothing stopping me from pulling this and you know it.” Mineko put her hand on the wire that held all power to keep Treize alive, but then let go.

A tear ran down Mineko’s cheek. “It’s all your fault. It’s your fault I have nothing left and no way of getting home. I hate you. I hate you so much.” Mineko’s sobs became more and more powerful. Mineko finally fell to her knees.

“I hate you!” Mineko screamed. Mineko held her knees to her chest and rocked back and forth on the side of the bed.

Mineko finally stood up and looked down at Treize again. Face full of hatred. “It’s my mission to stop you and to kill you. So I must complete my mission.” Mineko reached over to the wire, but couldn’t pull it. He just looked too…innocent. If you could call it that. He was almost in an eternal sleep. She could never finish her enemy that way. It was just to dishonorable. It was like hitting man when he’s down. He had probably lost his memory any way.

“You…you bastard.” No. It just wasn’t the same as getting a reply. She needed to talk to someone. She needed Wufei.

There was nothing in the world that was stopping her from killing Treize…and then herself. She knew that. She was willing to die in battle for the better cau..but this wasn’t in battle. She would be dying for no reason.

“I hate you!” Mineko released her grip on the wire and walked away from the bed. She put a hand up to her mouth and an arm around her stomach. She let the tears flow freely. She didn’t care any more. “I hate you. I hate you.” Every time Mineko said it, her voice got quieter, until it was down to a whisper. “I hate you.”

A doctor that just happened to be walking by heard Mineko scream and came in.

“What’s going on in here?” He demanded. Mineko turned to him.

“I want out of here. I can’t be in the same building as that…that thing!” Mineko waved a furious finger at Treize.

“Come here. What happened?” Mineko walked over to the doctor.

“I failed my mission. I failed.”

“It’s ok. What mission?”

“I was supposed to kill him. But I can’t. I just can’t.”

“Kill him? Are you a Gundam Pilot?”

“Yes.” Mineko sniffed and turned to Treize. “Wufei. Why didn’t you finish him off? You failed your mission. He is not dead!” Mineko’s voice rose with furry.

“Come here. Lets get you back to your room.”

“I wanna go home.”

“Sh.” The doctor led Mineko back to her room after checking with another doctor to see where her room was.

“I want out of here.”

“But you’re still very weak. You have to rest.”

“No I don’t.”

“You’ll be out I a few days.” The doctor put Mineko to bed and left.

“I need to escape. But I need my clothes. I’m not leaving without those pictures.” Mineko lay back in bed and closed her eyes. “I have no where to go so I’ll just wait.”
