~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~ Chapter Nine:
“Nanashi”
“I have to say that meeting Quatre’s sisters was the first and hopefully last encounter I will have with fangirls, bu that’s nothing compared to about being eaten by a lion and almost scared out of my wits as a certain someone’s guardian chucked a bunch of knives in my direction” At that point, everyone turned to Trowa who was smiling faintly... there was no doubting who’s sister the American pilot was talking about... considering there were only two people in the small group that had sisters, and only one of them had enough precision to throw a knife and miss someone’s head.. It just had to be him.
“Yeah, got you’re attention now eh Trowa? You certainly shaved a few years off of my life... but then again, now that I look back on it, I don’t mind... you should feel special, you’re the only clown I’m not afraid of. And to make a long story short.. Mom.. Circus, clown attack, pie in face.... that’s all you need to know, let your imaginations run wild with that. Anyways.. I think we met through Q-ball, at least, that’s how I remember it... by that time I had only known that there were three gundam pilots, me, Heero and Quatre, but when I was informed of another one– that would be you– well, I couldn’t resist the temptation of creating another Shinigami follower... that means that I came in peace and wanted to be friends...”
Duo covered his eyes slightly as he and Quatre walked into a well lit tent housing many animals that Duo thought he would never see in his life.
“Uh, Quatre..”
“Hmm?”
“Why are we in a circus tent?”
“Oh! This is where the other one is” he said happily as Duo just blinked as the blond waved.
“Good Afternoon, Trowa!!!” he called as Duo looked up.
Standing next to an elephant wearing nothing but a pair of skin tight pants that Duo told himself were apart of the show, was a tall teenager the same age, if not a year older than the two gundam pilots approaching. Duo noted the look in the young man’s eyes and quickly determined it as a certain form of loneliness and helplessness.. Comething he himself had experienced early in life.
“Hello Quatre..” Replied the youth as he looked at Duo.
“Before you say anything.. Yes I’m a guy” Duo said indignantly, putting a little pout on his face, reading the expression that the other had given him.
“I can tell that from your voice now... Trowa Barton” he said, sticking out his hand. Duo took it with a little smile
“Duo Maxwell, nice to meet another pilot” he said as the other smiled slightly, not used to the good greetings from people he didn’t really know all that much...
“ I don’t know how I could see it, but there was something in your eyes that told me everything about the person that they called Trowa. If it was one thing I was good at, it was reading people by the color, depth and emotions that they shown through their eyes.. And you, my dear friend, as much as you used to hate admitting it, were like an open book to me. There were so many times I could look at you and see my own grieving soul.. I’m here to tell you now, that just because something happens due to an action you preformed, doesn’t mean that it’s entirely your fault... You were just a cause that lead to the affect... Believe me, if I had not done it so many times before, I would be thinking the same things.. Really though, I’m not going to lecture you, that’s what Catherine is for haha... Actually Trowa.. I’m here to explain to you what you mean...” Trowa blinked, confused as to what Duo meant by “what you mean’
“You see, when everyone is born, they are given a name.. A special significant name that means something to the giver of that name... That remains the same to you.. Just because Trowa Barton is not your true and given name, does not mean that it doesn’t belong to you. I know it must plague you every night to know that you do not know your true name... I know because I slept the same way for a while... I cannot remember my true name.. But would you really have the heart and will power to call me anything other than Duo Maxwell? I thought not... and the same for you.. We wouldn’t be able to go through life without calling you Trowa Barton.. That is who you are, and there has to be some significant meaning to it ne?”
Trowa looked down and smiled to himself... Duo was right, what was the sense in worrying over what is true name was... if everyone wanted to call him by the name he had chosen, then he would think no further on it..
“Trowa...” he looked up as three voices called out his name. Wufei, Quatre, and surprisingly, Heero were smiling at him. He smiled as well, and nodded.
“Trowa.. You’re one of the very few people I cherish.. And I refuse to believe that you’re a no name just because you have no name... so, you’re going to go on and freaking live with Trowa Barton dammit, besides, it’s catchy and fits your face so HA! Score one for the cherubs of fate... ok so there are no such things as cherubs, but c’mon, give a man his amusement.... but, I meant it.. So... hey, do me a favor ne?”
Trowa smiled softly at the floor, anything.. He’d do anything for the pilot, just so.. So long as he could make his memory last.
“I want you to live on man, don’t let something trivial like your name ruin a life that could be perfect.. I mean, having a name, even if it isn’t your own, is better than no name right? You’re Trowa Barton, not Nanashi” Trowa’s eyes widened a little bit.. How had Duo known about that? How did he know that he’d once been called Nanashi??!
“If you’re wondering, about the Nanashi thing.. I met a girl once, when I was traveling, she was pretty cute, blond hair, blue eyes, you know, typical chick.. But there was something there that.. I dunno... she had walked up to me, we started conversation, and I told her about my friends.. When I mentioned you, she pulled out a picture, and lone behold, there was Trowa.. You make a cute kid Barton.... anyways, she told me that you had been her only friend, and that she missed you terribly... I told her that, yeah, I knew ya, and I showed her a picture.. She seemed really surprised to see you alive.. And she asked me “ How is Nanashi.?” and you want to know what I said?” The boys stopped, listening.
“I told her that “well, I don’t know a nanashi, but I know Trowa” do something for me pal? Will ya look her up and talk to her? If it’s one thing I’ve learned, it’s that time heals old scars, and that’s the best kind of Neosporin that you can get.. So, go talk to Miidie”
Trowa nodded his head, the braided pilot was right, time healed most scars, and he was older, and he’d betrayed many people, so there was no reason that he couldn’t forgive the girl for something that had happened when he was seven years old..
“Right.. Now we get down to my last buddy-ol pal.... Wuffles”
“Dear god no......”
Here it is, gomen ne for the looooooooooooooong wait. School has finally started, and being a senior is harder than I thought. Many of my classes take up my time and I have no time to be updating my stories and stuff.. So, just as a heads up, updates for my stories will be farther apart than expected, I have LOADS of work to do, and applying for colleges takes up the time in between. Plus, I’ve been suffering from Laryngitis for a few days now, so I’ve been sleeping a lot zZZzZZzzzzzZ
However, there IS good news.. This story is almost finished... two more chapters and I will have finished my first story EVER!!! w00t! Anyways, R&R please, I’d like to hear what you have to say, and while you’re at it, go read my other stories and one shots, I know they may not be your favorite genre’s but still, just because you don’t like Naruto or something, doesn’t mean that you can’t critique it on style and composition ^^ ja matta ne minna!!!
