Gundam wing and Sailor Moon do not belong to me, but Kayla does. Standard disclaimer information applies so don't even bother.
A/n: I am not sure where this chapter will lead or if I can focus on just one senshi in it, but I believe that that could be more then one possible pairing seen in here. Don't worry Mako chan will make her appearance in the next few chapters. Only fair since I slipped and I did mention her in the first two so only fair not to forget ne?
Chapter 7
She sighed upon hearing the interruption of the news and the inpact the people were having. With the new turn of events she knew what she had to do now. Not only was this fight against OZ still happening, but now she had to take into account thanks to Minako's mouth that the sailor senshi were declaring war on those that used the moon for their needs or exploit what should remain as historic faces. Kayla had yet to contact her, but given where she remained she had a gut feeling was it about to happen sometime soon she hoped, that is if she wasn't killed and Minako didn't know this.
Once the last member of the audience had left, Hino Rei approached the manager of the establishment she was currently in. “Excuse me, but are you excepting new performers or errand people at this time?” her smile trying to remain pleasant.
“Why do you ask miss?” the manager asked seeing a growl like smirk appear on the girl who called herself kathy's lips.
“I had just moved out this way and was looking for employment, and since I'm low on funds at the moment, having lodging included would also be of much help.” Rei continued ignoring the looks the red head was giving her.
“What do you have in the way of talent?” the manager asked smiling at Rei.
Rei had to stop and think for a moment before she chose her next words. She knew this question was coming, but had not prepared herself for it. In fact applying for the job wasn't even on her to do list, but she figured that was the only way she could be close enough to the boy Kathy called Trowa. “well sir, I've had experance singing and performing for small groups of children at the local children's hospital.” She started convently leaving out the part about how the world famous pop star Aino Minako had talked her into such a task, or that she had to beg her friends to help her prepare for the task at hand. “Also I've done some other things as well and am athletic and can perform on high wires or anything with little to no trouble.” She added partly lying once again leaving out her skills in such tasks were mainly due to the fact she was the senshi of fire and transformed her natural abilities were enhanced.
“well…sure we can give you a shot.” The manager said after considering what Rei had said.
“But manager, your making a big mistake if you do this.” Kathy protested still thinking that Rei was going to hurt trowa.
“now Kathy your over reacting.” The manager started to say. “she is just a girl looking for work….if one thing is the same and it always be that the job market is very limiting, add the current war, and you can see the kind of predicament she is in.” he finished.
“I guess your right…” Kathy sighed as she and her manager left Rei to her own devices. A small smile played across her lips as she went to search for the boy in question. The first step in her personal mission was now complete. She didn't quite know why she set this mission of sorts upon herself, but she felt compiled to finish it through. By her nature males were a waist of time and space…due to some past she rather soon forget, but life wasn't going to let that happen. However, the fact this boy's mind was lost and confused due to his accident, and the fact he didn't seem to recognize the world around him questioning nearly every movement just about, made her reconsider her options. Also that and the fact kathy's treatment of him and of her just walking buy, pissed her off more so then her feelings towards the male sex in general. With these facts in mind, she went ahead to look for Trowa or just look like she was looking for something to do.
She smiled softly as she spotted the boy in question by the animal cages feeding the lions. She couldn't help but let herself smile at how the massive animals reacted to him, and was thankful for the fact they appeared to like him so by the way he was petting them as if they were normal every day house cats. She remained as quiet as she could so as not to distract him and stir something up so soon even though she had to get around to talk to him, but she had learned early on having some afraid of you wasn't the way to get to your goals.
Starting on the other end of the animal cages, she begun feeding them still keeping Trowa in her site. Even though out of fuku in her past life, she could occasionally feel damager approaching, that power wasn't helping her now as thick as it was. “Something is going to happen isn't it?” Trowa suddenly said aloud not sure if anyone was able to hear him.
Rei ran over to him and placed an arm on his shoulder causing the boy to look up. “You feel it too?” came her question still in mild shock over the fact that someone else was able to feel the thickness of the evil in the air.
“Yes, but I don't quite understand…. Coldness emptiness… those things are what I'm feeling.” Trowa replied.
“Well part of that might be from the evil, but the other might just be from the fact you must be lacking your memories.” Rei explained as she hugged him trying to figure out for herself what the case must be. She gasped in shock when Trowa wrapped his arms around her clinging to her like she was some kind of lifeline. She held him until he was able to stop shaking. And his breathing had come under control.
It wasn't until Trowa regained his composure and started to breath normally again did rei leave his side. Little did either Trowa or Rei know, Kathy was watching from a distance angered that her baby brother as she had convinced the world he was to her, was reacting better to the new comer Rei then he was to her. ::He shouldn't be responding to anyone but me, anyone else esp people from the past, should avoid my trowa at all costs:: she thought as she let herself growl once Rei was out of sight. Kathy had gone to chew Rei out finding her working away on a research prodject. In a matter of a few minutes, that strange girl had gone from caring for her trowa, as Kathy would refer to him as, to barring herself in a research prodject. Growling and letting herself be heard this time, Kathy stormed off to try and convince her manager of the trouble that she believed that Rei could posses.
Rei looked up upon hearing the growl of disgust, but a quick scan of the area told her she was alone. Feeling it was her imagination playing tricks on her, she brushed it off and continued to type away at the laptop in front of her. Images flashed before her of not only Trowa, but four other boys around his age. Her research also told her of how they were fighting against OZ and how because of OZ space had declared them to be rabbles, leaving the Gundam Pilots as they were so named no where to return, or even a place to call home, being that colony life was all they knew before their first mission to earth. Reports showed that each Pilot was born on a different colony hence where their codes came from. Trowa being that of 03…but that left Rei to wonder if Trowa had returned to the colony of his birth. From what she could tell aside from location in space, and shape up to a point, the colonies were the same relying on natural resources conducted in space to maintain life. One such battle proved that as fact, due to the fact the colony had destroyed the sattlite it got its resources from, it became unstable.
Printing her research she went ahead to prepare for the evening show. It would be after the show, that she would come to realize just what a mess she had woken into. Using her fire powers and her star weapon its music adding a nice touch to her act, she turned out to be a big hit with her act. After the show was over, the manager gathered everyone to make his announcement. “Listen up everyone, we will be leaving in the morning so hurry up and finish up here.” He told everyone.
“The people loved us, why are you making this our last show?” Kathy asked dressed in barley more then her braw and panties the shorts she had chosen not hardly covering them.
“A Gundam was seen not far from here, and the area is now unsafe.” The manager replied.
“Hey sis, where do you want me to put this?” Trowa asked appearing seemingly out of no where holding the costume she had used for the show.
“I'll take it.” Kathy started.
“But I want to help you…” Trowa interrupted.
“Now, now trowa you have to listen to your big sister.” Kathy finished pointing a finger at him just like a little kid being scolded by his mother.
Rei growled as she saw this happen and growled even more when the manager commented about Trowa being trouble if he stuck around. ::Trowa and the others are going to be our salvation, I just know it:: Rei thought as she left to go check on Trowa. She found the boy hugging himself shivering again. “Gundam what is that? I know I've hared it before….somewhere. Iie…..not again…so…cold… and..” Trowa was mumbling before Rei wrapped her arms around him once again being sure to hold him tight in her protective embrace. ::some sister, not here checking on him, after all this:: she thought as she conferred the boy like she had done before. However, this time he had fallen asleep in her arms his dreams ripped and torn filling with memories of a past he had forgotten.
Rei watched as sweat formed on his skin and his breath became uneaven. The shaking had gotten worse, and she clung to him for fear of him hurting himself thrashing about like that. “Iie…Quatre…stop…onegai…..matte….stop 8230;onegai….” he started to say in his sleep all of his words broken as he started to flash back to the battle that caused this to happen in the first place.
Seeing Trowa like this Rei wished she had the ability to go and read his mind, but none of the senshi were given such a power. Yes Rei often could invasion the future, but nothing could prepare her for something like this. Sighing to herself she continued to whisper soothing words to him until he regained control and relaxed. Within a few minutes, he fell limp in her arms, and she carefully picked him up and placed him in bed. Kathy had been watching the whole time, and her hate for Rei grew more so every time she saw the strange girl near what she was trying to convince herself and the world was her younger brother, but in truth she couldn't deny the facts and feelings that seemed stronger then that. Shaking her head, Kathy went to her own trailer to wash up and clear her head. If she were to work around Rei, she was going to have to get a grip on things and regain some control of herself.
Once Trowa was asleep in his bed, Rei used his computer to finish up on her research. After hearing of the discovery of the moon palace, she grew worried for her princess and needed to try and confirm if she was alive. The fact Minako had addressed everything throughout outer space and earth, including the base on the moon, peaked her curiosity causing her to believe that one of the senshi was able to confirm the princess was alive. Looking up from the screen and out the nearby window at the night sky, Rei let one last thought enter her mind. ::princess please be safe…I know you can make it through anything, please prove me right::
In a hospital bed on the L1 space colony, a figure stirred groaning. Brown eyes flickered to life as if the ears attached to the eyes could hear the message thought by Rei. Outside the hospital seemed to come to life as two doctors rushed in to check on the girl that had just come too. At the same time, in the deepest depths of outer space, a feeling of calm washed over a boy who was currently fighting a battle. He lifted his head glancing about him with a soft smile that only he could see as he whispered. “Kayla chan…” Little did he know it, but he was starting to crack and the reason he felt her come too, was because feelings of love and other human emotions started to flow through his once ice cold veins. For as far back as he could remember, emotions were thought to be un needed in wars, but then why did he tell Trowa the only way to lead a good life would be to act on your emotions. Tossing all thought aside, he fought on secure in the knowledge that the mission to save a life that was not a part of this war, had been completed and she was going to live, unlike the little girl he had accidentally killed a year before, or falling for the trick set by OZ causing him to kill someone fighting for the same cause as himself. ::I'll be back for you Kayla chan…:: he thought as he continued his battle.
