Admit It!

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing and am in no way saying I do by writting this. I also do not own the Linkin Park lyrics.

Authors Note: What do you think? Like Akkiko? Intrusting charictor huh? Well, here`s the next chapter, enjoy.

Chapter 4:

"I can`t hold on when I`m stretched so thin.

I make the right moves but I`m lost within.

I put on my daily facade but than

I just end up getting hurt again by myself.

I ask why but in my mind I find I can`t rely on myself."

-Linkin Park

Akkiko stared out at the stars slightly sad. Tonight was the night. They would depart at five hundred hours and arrive on earth at eight hundred hours. She had a few things shoved into a back pack. Her picture with her and Veda in it, a teddy bear, an empty best friends picture frame, a gun, and some clothes. Her heart ached but she didn`t know what it ached for. She didn`t trust anyone. She was so lost all the time and yet she looked fine. But her facade was wearing off and she knew it. More times than she cared to mention Heero had said something to her about it. He knew her more than anyone else after all.

She took a step away from the window as the small bell rang and grabbed her bag. Off to die. For some reason she valued life a little more than before she had begun her training. It was true that she was perfect for the training because she had no regard for her life and she would push herself beyond all limits thought possable previousely. Now though the thoughts of "What if I die?" ran through her mind in slow motion.

She had narrowed down the cause quickly. Heero. He seemed constantly to be looking out for her as if he were a gaurdian angle of sorts. It annoyed her. Then she saw the hanger and her mobile suit which she had trained in for a year in front of her. It was black and had a feminin shape to it and a special rifle that fired light instead of bullets. It didn`t need recharged often. She had long been trained to take care of a mobile suit.

;With a sigh she climbed to the cockpit and strapped herself in. It had been desighned for her. There were three self distruct buttons in it and a wepon that could b combined with 01s` main wepon to give it twice the power. This wepon though made a powerful shock wave in her mobile suit. She wondered vaugly if Dakin hated her so much he wanted to nurture her self distructiveness. She pushed that out of her mind and pulled her helment on. She had named her Gundam The Black Dragon.

;Heero appeared on the small com screen, eyes hidden by the helment but she knew they would have a flicker of concern. Eyes betrayed a person. "How ya doing?"

She glanced at him but than her eyes shot forward, she didn`t want him to know that she was a littler nervouse. "Fine."

He gave a slight nod. "Good, I`m sending you the piloting route we are taking to earth. We have to take the long way around so it looks like we`re metiors. Stick close to me. We have five hours before we are in range of earth, get some rest."

She nodded as the flight pattern flowed over her screen. It was simple and she soon had it programmed inot the auto pilot. "Roger." She sat back in her seat as the capsule closed over her gundam and let her eyes slip shut. She dreamed about Veda. It hit her suddenly that she hadn`t even said goodbye to her. She pushed the notion out of her mind. She had no feelings for that back stabber.

They arived at earth before she knew it. Heero appeared on the screen, snapping her awake. "Break out of capsule in 5....4....3....2....1....0 - Now." She clicked the small button that made the capsule crumble away to reveal her gundam. Heero stayed in his bird shape as they decended. Her monitor beeped urgently as a ship appeared in their path. Heero growled slightly. "It`s a civilian shuttle. We`re going to have to destroy it."

Akkiko nodded slightly and began targetting it but than another beep came form the monitor. "OZ carrier twelve o`clock Heero."

;He nodded. "I see it." They both whipped around to face it. Heero appeared. "Akkiko get out of here and back me up if I need it." She nodded reluctantly and engaged her thrusters.

;Her radar picked up two mobile suits behind her and so she stopped and turned. "You want to play?" She pulled her rifle into ready possition and fired, easily destroying the suits. "Das ve danya." When she saw the splash in the ocean below she dove down as fast as she could. "Heero!" As her suit slammed into the water she was lurched forward. Up ahead she saw his suit with another one on top of it. With a growl she ripped the other one off allowing him to open the cockpit and rush to the top.

;She abandoned her suit as well and they both washed ashore, throughly soaked and in pain. She heard a small gasp and opened her eyes a crack to see a girl rush to Heero side. She ripped his helment off. Akkiko stood up and took a gun out than cocked it. "Put him down rich brat!"

;She heard a siren suddenly and rushed forward, grabbing Heero over her shoulder and punching the doctor that came down the steps. She shoved Heero into the seat and floored the acelerater. He opened his eyes. "It took you long enough."

She smirked as she ripped her helment off, momentarily taking both hands off the wheel, and let her black hair fly behind her. "Sorry Heero, I was in a little bit of pain as well you know."

;He nodded, looking in the sideview mirror at the girl. "What do we do about the girl."

;Akkiko laughed heartedly and leaned back into the seat than cranked the radio up. "Das ve danya."

;Heero nodded. "Most likely. We should find out about her though." Akkiko pouted her bottom lip out and stepped on the gas a little harder.
