Gundam Wing Fan Fiction / Sailor Moon Fan Fiction ❯ Time stood still or did it? ❯ Gathering information Rei's storry ( Chapter 4 )

Disclaimer I don't own Gundam Wing or Sailor moon as Always standards apply.

 

A/N: For the next few chapters starting with the previous chapter 3 I'm going to try and write introduction chapters for each of the senshi and Pilot. Some pairings I'm still unsure of but the two pairings that can not and will not be changed are Trowa/Rei and Heero/Kayla. Don't like Don't read, simple enough.

 

Chapter 4.

 

Rei sighed after she had split from Ami when the girl in question had departed for a restroom to change. The air port of sorts they had wondered in was alive with the buzz of people milling about trying to get from one place to another and it didn't take long for Rei to find herself lost. Large screams doted many areas listing take off and landing times as well as location. What made this different from any airport beside the fact it was located on the moon, was the fact that some of the locations didn't seem to add up. Many of them said something the lines of L and a number such as one or two. Rei tried to get past a bunch of people on a rush to a particular gate in hopes of finding her friend, but all attempts proved to be useless.

Resigning herself to her fate, she walked with the flow of people instead of against it. ::Maybe leaving the moon might be a good idea seeing as how the princess did say that she wanted us to gather some more information about this time.:: she thought to herself as she found herself buying a ticket like she had seen some last minute stragglers doing. Boarding the shuttle she could only wonder what her adventure would leed to as she peered out at the blackness that was in fact outer space ignoring the looks that passengers gave her due to the fact she was still dressed in her senshi fuku. If she had found the time to get away, she would have most likely changed out of those clothes, but she made a note to herself upon departure she would find a place to change out of fuku and find a place to find some clothing of the time period. However, finding approite clothing to change into proved to not be as big of a problem as she had previously thought upon seeing a verity of styles that men woman and children alike were wearing on the shuttle.

Rain pelted the streets outside of the space port Rei had landed in instantly soaking anyone that wasn't prepared for the storm. ::Great, I should have been a little bit more prepared:: she thought as she searched her sub space pocket for a rain slicker or something that would protect her from the rain when she found a place where she could be alone. She had already changed outfits and now was on a mad search for the needed items not having a water proof outfit on her cell phone to change into. ::I'll have to add that to my to do list:: she told herself as she found a used umbrella in her sub space pocket just as someone had entered the ladies room. Quickly she flushed the toilet in the stall she had been using and then moved to wash her hands in the sink the object she had been searching for latched on her arm.

Snapping it open she strode out of the busy space port as she had seen it called and out on the equally busy streets becoming instantly soaked by the rain. People moved about most complaining about the weather or anything in general. So far Rei found that life on this L3 as it was so named was no different from living on earth. There were homes, schools, offices, and over general businesses just like on earth. In fact save for the place was orbiting earth in the depths of outer space nothing seemed off of it. If the rain she was feeling was all an illusion, they managed to do a good job matching the smell and taste right down to every little rain drop.

As she strolled the streets looking for a good place to brose without being questioned and to get out of the rain for some time, she happened on a boy walking in the rain his clothing acting like a second skin. His hair was drenched and most of it hid one of his green eyes from view nearly sticking to his face, but for some reason only known to him it avoided making contact with the skin. He didn't appear to notice her and Rei was thankful because he was the first male that didn't notice her. However, she paused and watched him pass by getting the feeling there was something wrong with him. She stayed motionless until he disappeared out of sight then waited for the light to change pushing the boy out of her mind for the moment. ::Can't get wrapped up in boys and things right now, besides men are a waste of time:: she said entering a hotel on the other side of the street she had currently been crossing.

The hotel like the rest of this space station as syhe had named it was busy with life as guests checked in and out. A television was on low in the background providing news about the wars as well as any thing else they could find. However what caused Rei to drop her belongings on the smooth wooden flooring, was the news reports about the things that had occurred on the moon. Images flashed across the screen of her princess and herself among other things…say the moon palace for example that now without the magic protecting its existence, was now suddenly appearing in view. Not caring what was happening or where she was, she pulled out her cell calling her friend. As soon as she reached her princess, she described everything in detail as to what is happening. Needless to say she was fully prepared for the high pitched shrieking that came seconds after the news drop was an understatement. Holding the phone away from her ear she said quickly, “Ja Kayla- Chan. I'll call you later with a better report.” Before flipping her phone shut ignoring the fact she now had a small audience growing.

“Mam can I be of some assistance to you?” a desk clerk asked in English causing Rei to have to stop and translate the words in her mind and come up with a reply. But, before she could do that, her hand flew to her head and she fell to her knees. Images of the war Kayla her princess had spoken of, and the boy she had passed in the ran through her head at alarming speeds causing Rei to be consumed by darkness.

When she came too, she couldn't believe where she was. The room was void of any color save for herself and maybe the numbers on a clock by her bed. At first she thought she had gone blind seeing herself in an endless void which for the most part was true, but then again she had also figured from what her visions were doing she most likely ended up in a hospital. The echo of a speaker calling for some doctor had confirmed what she had figured on. She had no idea how long she had been out or why she had a spell like that, but the only thing she could think of was needing to check on that strange boy that seemed to be alive but at the same time not. Ignoring the visions would only bring them back stronger, and giving into them she learned was something that proved to have saved her life in the past.

After arguing and convincing the doctors at the hospital she was alright, she made her way out of the hospital and right back to that very same street corner where they had crossed paths. Upon reaching it, she strained her memory to figure out what direction he had taken in hopes that he hadn't gotten to far. Wondering in what she thought was the right direction only served to bring her to a circus. :: Some things never change:: she thought to herself. Upon approaching it she heard his voice. “Is this right?” he asked a woman with curly reddish brown hair.

“Yes that's right.” The woman responded as she looked down at him.

Rei approached slowly not thinking anything of the woman or what she might do if she asked a simple question as she kept her eyes fixed on the boy that she had come to check on. “Excuse me, but….” Rei started but before she had a chance to say anything more, the girl cut her off.

“If you want tickets for the show, please go to the ticket booth. Only staff are allowed back here.” She said her anger evident in her voice.

“That's not why I'm here I have come to check up on him. I ran into him upon arriving here, and I couldn't rest until I was sure he was alright.” Rei continued not letting the harshness behind her words bother her in the least.

“Well your not going to take him from us, and he is not going back to fight in this god dam pointless war!” the girl growled at Rei, but Rei showed no sign of breaking down any time soon.

A spark of flame seemed to fill the deepest depths of her eyes as her temper seemed to be reaching the breaking point. “Look lady, I don't know who you think you are but your actions are proving to me that although your intentions may be good, they may be causing him more harm then good!” she hissed low at first but it quickly grew slightly out of control.

“Trowa is my brother and I will be dammed if he leaves me again, to fight in a war where pointless death is the only outcome!” the girl hissed at Rei each word dripping with more viniume then the last.

“He may be your brother, and there may be a war, but what gives you the right to tell him how to run his life?!” Something happened and shielding him from it is only going to hurt him more! Don't you care about his well being?!” Rei hissed with matching anger and strength at the same time she tried with all her might to control her temper to keep herself from burning someone.

It was then that the boy in question clutched his head in pain and dropped to his knees. The girl that had been having the shouting match with Rei dropped the argument rushing the boy's aid changing tones to a more soothing one instead. Rei couldn't help but watch even though she questioned this girl's methods of doing things. She had seen the accident that put the boy, Trowa, in this state in the first place. Sighing, she decided to take what that girl had said into account and at least buy a ticket. She didn't trust her not to leave him completely alone, considering everything. ::Why do I care, that's right those visions, but… what could they mean?:: She asked herself in her mind sighing once again. Those two may have been brother and sister, but this whole thing had Rei uneasy.

Taking a seat she started to write down some of the information so she could compare notes with the other senshi and her princess at a later date. First she noted that people had homes in the middle of outer space orbiting either around earth or its moon or floating some around either one. Next everyone seemed to be on edge about the war, the `OZ' organization was the most feared and hated. And, last but not least, she observed the place she was currently was called the L3 space colony, and that earth seemed to be one nation the reasoning why English seemed to be the favorite to be the first Langue due to the fact most countries in her time had already made learning it as a second, where as people that lived in America or one of the other English speaking countries had a choice to learn something else.

By the time she had finished writing her notes, the show had started, and the boy , Trowa, and his sister took center stage as the opening act. Trowa was dressed as a clown a half mask covering his one visible eye, while his hair now dry effectively covered the other. The rest of his outfit was much like clowns of her past had been like with the bright mix of color and the loose baggy type. His sister on the other hand, was dressed in a ballet type outfit mostly pink and white in color, her hair done up real nice. As Rei watched that feeling and need to talk to Trowa growing, and by the end of the first act was ready to try her hand at talking to him with or without the permission of the woman that called herself his sister.
