Bloody Cross - A 300-worder by Maaya

*******

Do you know why Duo Maxwell keeps his cross?

During the war, I did not. I probably didn't even care. Duo Maxwell, gundam pilot 02. No more, no less. I kept him out of my mind, my soul and body, away from my heart. Caring for a soldier is dangerous, so I kept him only as a nameless soldier I didn't have to care about, more than as a helpful tool during the missions. As I said earlier, caring for a soldier is dangerous.

I know what I am talking about - my father was in the military.

And died.

It scared Trowa the fist time he saw the cross, I think. He never told me why, but I think he told Quatre, because my blonde friend said something about `painful memories'. After that, Duo always kept the cross hidden under his shirt.

He said that `Some memories are better if left in the past.'

At the time, I never realized how right he was. In fact - I don't think any of us listened to him. Why listen to one who speaks all the time anyway?

To use the cross was a wicked logic to him, but my mind refuses to accept. I know (of course) that the cross is a holy symbol for the Christians, and that is something I can't understand. They worship the thing that killed the son of God. Don't try to change my mind because this is what I know and want to believe. It's the harsh truth.

You know what? Duo believes exactly the same thing that I do. That Christians are worshipping a killing object, I mean.

Do you know that a cross can be bloody?

I think I should change the opening line. Do you know why Duo Maxwell kept his cross?

The End

I was really depressed because if RL-things and this is what came out. *sigh* Does it make any sense at all? Actually, I like it, but. . .
