~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

 

“Jesus fucking Christ Trowa.” He practically scares me to death, as if I haven't been through enough already. He walks in through the door as if he's afraid I'm about to fall through the cracks in the floor tiles. He takes my hands in his and sits in the chair beside my bed.

 

“Please just talk to me, tell me what happened out there.”

 

He's pleading with me this is not a good sign; there has been a dark cloud over our relationship since we got together. That was almost 6 months ago now and it keeps growing darker, like a thunder cloud ready to burst with rain and wash what we have away.

 

I feel so bad for not trying hard enough or not being persistent enough to remove it or clear it away or something, I tried so hard for so long that I had to put it down to a fault in me. I think that's what has been driving us apart, the reason all that happened, happened because I know I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for her and I know I can never explain it fully but I try because of what she said to me.

 

“Please” his voice smaller now, more scared I'll shut him out.

 

So I tell him…….

 

I was driving along the motorway heading home from a business trip I really didn't want to go on. I can't remember the last time I was away from him for so long. I caught the early flight to surprise him, which he was when I called from the airport to say “Hey I'm heading home catch you in a couple of hours.”

 

Half an hour later strange things begin to happen to the car (and me!) the first is the sound of the road, well it might not have been the first thing but it's the first I notice, it sound as if the car has drifted up from the road by a couple of feet or more. I look out the window but its still there, right under the wheels; I can remember thinking how weird.

 

The second thing I notice is the wind whistling through the little gaps in the widows becomes a tune, not a “proper tune” as Duo or Heero, my little lover, would call it not with verses and a chorus or anything such like but more of a dance or trance track I've heard in a club or a bar somewhere.

 

Then over this tune there comes a sort of melodic whisper or harps and a small strange voice in my head, it has perfect pitch and tone and its stirs the most pleasant memories I have and makes me feel completely at ease. I feel like I could just close my eyes for a few seconds and I will be home in an instant.

 

“Take the next exit” I hear her whisper through the druggy, cloudy, snoozy feeling in my brain, but I'm so sleepy and dozy that it refuses to register the only thing I can focus on is that I know the voice is female. I think “she must be beautiful to have a voice like that”

 

Then I become aware of the lights in the central divider making a sort of elevated dark pavement. The lights marking the corners of the sections, but what really weirds me out is the voice in my head is screaming at me to “Wake up Trowa, wake up Trowa, TROWA, WAKE UP!!” but I can't I'm hypnotised, you see there is a thing running on that elevated pavement, a thing with four legs, a horse with a rider and a billowing cape. It has short hair that flies behind it in the wind (My god its running ahead of the car!!) I'm doing 70 - that's the limit.

 

Then I hear a screeching, crunching, cracking sound, the only time I have ever heard that sound is when one of our Gundams broke a metal thing in the war. The best description I have is standing on a small armoured vehicle. Then I realised it is my car, the entire car has been folded, twisted, scrunched, squashed and flattened by something, I don't know what but a big something. It looks like the car is about a quarter of its original size.

 

I should be dead, is the next thing I remember thinking, so why am I not??

 

Then I remember that so god damn sweet voice coming through the smashed window. “Just hang on, just hang on, please Trowa, just hang on for me honey”

 

I can't reply.

 

I can't turn my head even though I am dying to see what she looks like because by now I have felt her presence and it was definitely female.

 

She steps in front of the thing that glided off the sky path and onto the road. She is directly in front of me now and I can see the back of her head.

 

She has long soft golden hair, lighter than Relena's, a little longer than Relena's and four times as beautiful as Relena's.

 

I see a sword in her hand and the thing from the sky walk cackles “You dare defend his soul, he is damned”

 

“I'll rot in hell before you have his soul” icy tones from the blond haired beauty

 

The thing from the sky walk I know as death, produces a sword from somewhere in his cape.

 

The two circle each other, for a short time, and then she passes in front of my line of vision.

 

She has a pair of the most beautiful blue eyes I have ever seen, easily as beautiful as my Heero's, but they are older, not so much as in age but knowledge, those eyes are deep, deeper than philosophy eyed Duo's. I mean if I sat here and stared into those eyes I would suddenly know the secrets to the world, life, and love, of why we live and why we die, where we go and all the other secrets man and mankind want to know.

 

Death lunges towards her, sword point raised, I can see how sharp it is, how long the blade is, how fast he's moving and I fear the worst for her. But it doesn't happen, she dodges the strike with ease, the swords meet in a sickening clang. Then with swords crossed they begin to circle once more. He breaks the circle, and what follows are a series of dancing, twirling, flying dodges and fast, high, low, strong and weak sword manoeuvres that would even the great Wufei baffled. The battle continued for well over an hour and as I sat there watching them both go at each other with everything they had I saw her falter, he was going to strike, I could feel it, but it doesn't happen. The next noise I can here is the cutting equipment of the fire brigade and the haunting sound of an ambulance on its way. It occurs to me at this point that I have been screaming for sometime and the fire brigade have heard me.

 

When I look back she stands victorious over him (how she did it I will never know) and I know my soul is safe.

 

She winks at me and I hear her voice once more “The paramedics are on their way just sit tight you'll be home safe soon enough, don't forget he's waiting for you now”

 

“Just don't leave me” I hear myself say it before I know I have.

 

“I'll always be around you know that inside.”

 

“Yes” I reply to her

 

There is a sound like the arrival of a thunderstorm a BIG thunderstorm, and I'm suddenly aware of a pair of small black wings coming over my vision I'm blacking out, or passing out and I don't want to, I try to fight it but the pull of it is too strong. Just before I close my eyes for the final time however I'm aware of being lifted out of the car and off to the right. Then the darkness takes me.

 

“It must have been the shock that knocked you out” That soft sweet voice again, as I realise I'm awake staring at a hospital ceiling somewhere “I mean you were a Gundam Pilot after all, I thought you could handle it but you must have been really tired too I guess”

My reply is total nonsense “How is he?”

“He's downstairs” she replies to me, and then as she moves to the left of me where I am pretty sure there is a window and the sun is rising.

 

“That just about brings us to now I think” I half murmur to my little lover.

 

“ Hn……….that's interesting………there is nobody there” he whispers back

 

“But she's standing right there” I almost cry out “Hey Blondie”

 

“Hey yourself” she answers from the window; the first golden rays of dawn are pouring in through the window and show her in all her glory.

 

Even the wings are now visible, gorgeous white wings doused and haloed in early morning gold, she moves to stand beside him (who looks worried about my little outburst of talking to nothingness in his eyes), turns to face me, and side by side I see them.

 

For the first time in my life I feel totally awed into silence, the family resemblance is completely shocking and its hits me square in the face, she's Heero's sister. His older sister.

 

“Wow………” it's all I can say

 

“Trowa are you sure you only have whiplash? I mean what with the talking to nothing and looking past me” He sounds scared maybe I should tell him.

 

“Don't, just tell him Saphy has his back”

 

“Saphy so that's your name huh?”

 

“Sapphire actually”

 

“Trowa ……. She's dead……….. Died before I was even thought of……..what's going on?”

 

As the sunlight pouring through the window increases in strength with the rising of the sun, she fades from sight, the last words she says to me in that melodic voice of hers is “Don't ever doubt his love for you”

 

“Your dead sister saved my soul from the Grim Reaper last night, she just popped in to say she has your back has had all along I guess”

 

He's quiet all the way home, which is about 150 miles, a ling time to be quiet for if you ask me.

 

Then as we walk into the house, he breaks, the clouds bursts, and he breaks down in my arms.

 

I get him to the bedroom and we both lie there on the bed, eventually his heart wrenching sobs stops and he looks at me squarely, straight in the eye and says

 

“She told you, that you were my better half didn't she, and if she didn't I just have”

 

“She didn't but I'm glad I heard it from you, you're my world too.”

 

He smiles at me his eyes wide

 

Then we sleep.
