Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Daughter of the Soldier and the Princess ❯ A New Life ( Chapter 2 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or any of its characters. However, I do own the characters I have made up: Madori Yuy/Sanderson, Dylan Barton, Wendy and Will Winner, Lee Chang (Chang Lee), Michael Peacecraft, Duo Maxwell Jr. (Lil' Duo), Amanda and Greg Sanderson, Stormy Barton, General Hudson, Captain Stewart, and John Baker. Gosh that's a long list. Please do not sue me all you will get is ummmmmmm, ummmmmmmm, my pocket lent? Yeah! My pocket lent!

A/N: Hey again! I didn't expect to get to write this next chapter. I expected everyone to tell me how bad this story sucked but ya'll said you liked it. Soooooooo, I guess I'll continue. I would've had this out slightly sooner but I had a crisis with my other story. See, I always write my stories on paper and then type them. Well, I wrote Chapter 4 of my other story and then lost it after I had only typed two paragraphs. So I had to use the time I would've used on this story to re-write Chapter 4 of the other story. Did I confuse anyone? Probably. A big thanks to those of you who reviewed my first chapter: Miaka Yuuki, CleverYoungThief, ZeStY, *Sagittarius Girl*, Princess of Darkness, silverfaye, GoddessDeath, and Sacara. Another big thanks to who IMed me (I think it was ZeStY but I'm not sure.) Please feel free to e-mail me at Tarrible2@aol.com or Instant Message me at Tarrible2. Anyways, this chapter is about as long as the other chapter even though I expected to make it shorter. I don't really like this chapter as much as the other one. This one isn't as sad but it doesn't have much action or Heero in it. The next chapters should be better but this is my setting up chapter. Well, please R&R. Thanx.
Daughter Of The Soldier And The Princess


Part 2- A New Life

Heero and Relena stayed in the Sanc kingdom after the battle. The Darlian mansion, where they lived, needed minor repairs. It was the day after the small battle. Relena sat on the couch and turned on the news.
"Hi, I'm John Baker with KNLB News. In recent news, Madori Yuy, daughter of Vice Foreign Minister Yuy and Preventer Heero Yuy, is missing and presumed dead. Young Madori went missing during the attack on the Yuy's residence. The enemy's base was destroyed, officers were questioned, but no trace of Madori has turned up. Now for the weather."
Relena clicked off the TV and almost started to cry again. Heero walked in and saw Relena. He slowly made his way over to the couch and wrapped his arms around her.
****************************************************************** ******
**Three years later**
"Strike two!"
"Are you crazy?! That was low and inside!" Madori yelled at the umpire.
"It came across your knees." The umpire said back.
"Yeah, almost knocked my kneecaps off." She mumbled back, shooting him a death glare.
The next pitch came in fast and Madori knocked it in between center and left field. Two runs came in and Madori made it to third. Anyone else would've only gotten to second but Madori was fast. "That was for you ump! She yelled at the umpire behind the plate. The next batter got up and struck out. Game over.
***************************************************************** *******
Madori walked into her room and put her bat bag in the closet. She flung herself down on her bed and laid there. She wished she could still be playing softball. It wasn't that entertaining to her but it involved thinking and thinking took her mind off everything else.
"Madori, wash up, dinner is ready!" Amanda Sanderson, her mother, yelled up the stairs. "You need to hurry and eat, it's late and you have school tomorrow!"
School. Madori didn't really like school. Most of the other teenagers were nice to her and liked her and she was nice to them too, but she always felt different than them. Something seemed to be missing inside of her. She usually appeared emotionless or sad to the other kids. Madori reached into a slit in her teddy bear and pulled out a picture. It was old, faded, and had a crease down the middle from her always folding it in half. In the picture there was five teenage boys and one teenage girl. The girl had honey blonde hair and aquamarine eyes. Standing beside her, in the middle of the picture, was a boy with dark brown hair and Prussian blue eyes. The other boys stood on either side of them. One had blonde hair and big blue eyes, one had long braided brown hair and blue eyes, another had brown hair covering one of his green eyes, the last one stood farther away from the others. He had clack hair slicked back in a pony tail and black slanted yes, like he was Chinese. Madori didn't know who they were or why she kept the picture, and most of all, why she kept it hidden. She had kept it hidden for as long as she could remember. Every now and then she thought about showing it to her mom and dad and asking them about it, but something told her not to.
"Madori Marie Sanderson!" her mother yelled from downstairs. "I told you to be down here ten minutes ago!"
"Sorry, I'm coming!" She yelled back. She walked into her bathroom and started to wash up. When she finished washing her face, she pulled her long hair out of its ponytail and started to brush it. As she brushed, she studied herself in the mirror. She had long straight, shiny hair that came almost to her waist. 'My hair is the same color as the man in the picture's hair.' She thought. 'Nonsense.' She shook her head and walked downstairs. Her hair really was the exact color of Heero's. It was straight and shiny like Relena's and her eyes were shaped like Relena's only brown.
**************************************************************** ********
"Lil' Duo." Heero said.
"Yeah?"
"I've got a mission for you."
"What's that?"
"I want you to register at Madori's school."
"Why?"
"Because I want you to protect her and because I said so."
"Why does she need anymore protection than what we've got going?"
"There is a new organization. They don't believe Madori is dead. They are researching and trying to find her. I don't know anything else yet."
"Okay, whatever you say."
***************************************************************** *******
**The Next Day**
Madori was lost in thought as she walked to school. She shivered slightly. It was cold outside and she had lost her uniform jacket. The uniforms for St. George's School were not very warm. The girls' uniforms consisted of a long light pink skirt, and a white button up, short sleeve shirt. When it was cold they wore maroon jackets. The boys wore gray pants, white button up, long sleeve shirts, black ties, and gray jackets. Madori kept walking, paying no attention to her surroundings. Suddenly, she was tore from her thoughts when she heard someone shout, "Look Out!!!" Then she was shoved to the ground and someone landed half on top of her and they rolled. Next she heard screeching tires right beside her. The person on top of her got up and helped her up.
"I'm sorry." He said. "You walked straight out in front of that car and it almost hit you."
"Th-Thank you." She said, stunned by the boy's appearance. He had a long brown braid. 'The boy from the picture. No, he would be much older now. Besides, this guy looks slightly different. His eyes are a little different in color, his hair is a little darker, and his braid is shorter.' She thought, recalling the picture she knew too well.
"Did I hurt you?" The boy asked.
"Not as much as the car would've." She replied.
"I'm new here. My family just moved from the L2 colony. My name is-"
"Duo." She finished for him.
'Oh great, she knows. Has she always remembered us? Or did me being here trigger her memory?" He started to worry.
"How'd you know that?" he asked nervously.
"I-I don't know." She said, puzzled at how she knew his name. 'Great job Madori! Make the new guy think you're weird! How did I know that?'
'Phew!' Was Duo's only thought. 'I still wonder how she guessed.'
"Well, my full name is Duo Maxwell Jr. You can just call me Duo. I may run and hide but I never tell a lie." He said, repeating his own father's introduction. "So, can I walk you the rest of the way to school? You know, in case I have to battle any more cars for you?" He gave her his best smile.
"Sure." She said, smiling at the braided boy next to her. 'I like him.' She thought. 'Maybe we can be friends. Heck, maybe we can be best friends. I know Misty, Clara, and Chrissy are about the best friends I have but, there's just something missing between us, something that is required to be true best friends. Besides, this guy is funny. But what am I thinking, I hardly even know him.'
"Hello! Earth to Madori!" Duo was saying loudly.
"Oh, I'm sorry. Hey! How'd you know my name is Madori?"
"Ummmmmm, lucky guess?" He said, forcing a smile. 'Smooth move Lil' Maxwell!' He mentally slapped himself.
"Yeah right! How'd you know!?"
"Hey, you guessed my name!"
"Yeah, but Madori isn't a common name."
"How many Duos have you met?"
"Good point."
*************************************************************** *********
Heero watched Lil' Duo walking Madori to school. Madori kept laughing at his jokes. 'Keep her safe Lil' Duo.' Heero thought before leaving for home.'
**************************************************************** ********
Heero walked into his house and saw Relena, Noin, and the other Gundam pilots sitting around. Everyone wore a worried face except Trowa and Wufei. Last time Heero had seen faces like that he had to give his daughter up.
"What's wrong?" He asked with an irritated loom on his face.
"We've uncovered more information about the new organization and their plans."
"What do they call themselves?" He asked, pouring himself a cup of coffee.
"The Freedom Fighters. They're led by General Hudson. They plan to find Madori, whom they believe is still alive, then kidnap her and Relena. They think that once they have the Vice Foreign Minister and her long lost daughter they can use them as a sort of ransom."
"Ransom for what?"
"The Gundams and our few Tauruses and Leos."
"Injustice. I will not give up Nataku for a couple of women." Wufei mumbled.
"What do they plan after that?" Heero asked, ignoring Wufei.
"Basically, to take over the Earth's Sphere." Noin finished.
Heero looked over at Relena. She had her face buried in her hands. Heero walked over to her and lifted her head up to where he could look at her, eye to eye. "I'll protect you."
"I'm not worried about me. I'm worried about Madori." She whispered.
"I'll protect her too." He said, leaning forward and hugging Relena.
"How is she doing?" Relena asked
"Just fine. She seems to get along great with Lil' Duo."
"I wish I could see her more often." Relena had seen Madori only three times since that fateful night. Once at her five-year-old birthday party, another time at a Christmas party when she was ten, and just recently at her sixteenth birthday party. She always had to stay hidden in the shadows with Heero so Madori wouldn't see her. Other than that, she just got pictures.
************************************************************* ***********
**Two weeks later**
Madori sat outside at lunch with her friends Clara, Misty, and Chrissy. Chrissy had short, chin-length black hair and hazel eyes. Misty had green eyes and curly red hair that fell a few inches below her shoulders. Clara had blue eyes and straight red hair that came down to her mid-back. Misty looked like they could be sisters and people often thought they were.
"Soooooooo Madori, what's up with you and the new guy?" Clara asked in a teasing voice.
"What do you mean?" Madori asked with a puzzled look.
"You've been hanging around him an awful lot lately. He comes by your house most mornings and walks you to school and you talk with him all the time."
"He's just a friend." Madori said, defending herself.
"Sure he is." Chrissy giggled.
"Well, what about you and Lane?" Clara asked, quickly changing the subject after Madori shot her death glare at her.
"Lane? I can't stand Lane." Madori said, frowning.
"Why not? He's one of the most popular guys and he's a total babe!" Misty squealed. "And the best part is…he likes you! What's not to like?"
"Besides the fact that Lane is a conceded, self-centered, inconsiderate jerk? Well, I don't know." Madori said, slamming a fist on the table.
"Whoa, those are some strong words Madori!" Came a voice from behind her.
"Madori instantly recognized the voice. "What do you want Lane?" She asked in a monotone voice, keeping her back to him. Lane had blonde spiky hair and blue eyes.
"I just want to be near you." Lane replied, sitting down next to Madori. Madori just rolled her eyes. Luckily, at that moment Lil' Duo walked up.
"Hey Madori! What're you doing?" He asked in his cheerful voice.
"Just sitting here." She said, glaring at Lane. The wind started to blow for a few seconds, making Madori shiver.
"Where's you jacket young lady?" Lil' Duo said in a sarcastic tone.
"I lost it." Madori said, still glaring at Lane who was now glaring at Lil' Duo.
"Well that wasn't smart. C'mon, I'll walk you to home economics." He said, slipping his jacket over Madori's shoulders. Lane sneered at Lil' Duo and walked away.
"Gosh he's a hottie!" Misty said when Lane had left. "What's wrong with Madori?"
"Guess he's just not her taste." Clara sighed.
*************************************************************** *********
"General Hudson! I think I found her!"
"Think or know, Captain Stewart." The General said in a stern voice.
"I'm pretty sure, sir. We figured her name was probably changed, so we didn't search under Madori. First, we searched for all sixteen-year-old females in the Earth's Sphere. We then narrowed the search down to the ones with brown hair and brown eyes. Next we dramatically narrowed it by typing in the blood type. Her blood type is very rare so the number dramatically decreased. Then we gambled using her birth date. It was possible they had it changed but we took the chance. This narrowed it down to one girl."
"Who?" The General asked anxiously.
"Her name is Madori Marie Sanderson. The Yuys' daughter was named Madori Marie Yuy." He replied, pulling up a picture of the Madori on the computer.
"That's her. She looks unmistakably like her parents."
"Shall we dispatch a group to get her?"
"Of course." General Hudson answered, laughing with joy.
****************************************************************** ******
**Three weeks later**
Madori walked home form school alone. Lil' Duo had to stay after school for a few minutes so he told her she could leave without him. "Hey Madori!" Lil' Duo yelled, running to catch up with her. "It didn't take as long as I thought it would!" He was still a ways away from her.
Madori turned to look at Lil' Duo when she saw a flicker of moment out of the corner of her eye. As soon as she turned to see what it was a man jumped out of the tree beside her and knocked her to the ground.
