She isn't here?> Heero thought as he looked around Megami's baron room. Where could she be? ...Not Duo's room, that's for sure. The Gundam hanger maybe? That sounds about right.>
"...Preparations ready. All systems go. Lift off in ten... nine... eight...
seven... six..." Megami's thoughts drifted, Here I go. I can still
turn back... What are you thinking, Megami?! I don't need to turn back
for anything... nope! Not even for...>
"Megami! Megami, wait!"
Duo?!> Megami thought, turning around expecting to see Duo. Instead
she saw Heero floating up toward her Gundam, "Oh, Heero." She said, her
face fell, "I thought it was..."
"Duo? I think he's too busy thinking about your little note to come
out here."
"My note? How did he get it?"
"I gave it to him. It was in the middle of your room and I thought
he'd like to read it."
Megami looked at Heero, "Did you read it?"
"I read part of it. The part where you told us that you were really
sorry about imposing on us and you wished you could say goodbye in person
and that you liked all of us, even Wufei and me. You said you were sure
you'd have liked Trowa if you had spoken to him more. And you said you
were glad that Quatre had gotten better and then you said something about
Duo... do you remember what that was?"
"I... I said I'd miss him most of all... and I..." Megami choked back
tears, "...I don't want to talk about this anymore, Heero!"
"You'd like to have met him under other circumstances so that you two
might have been able to become better friends than you are now. And...
you were hoping to eventually become more than friends."
"I never said that!" Megami said, jumping up, "I never said that in
my letter!"
"But you thought it." Heero said with a slight smirk, "You meant it."
"No I didn't. I... I didn't, Heero." Megami shook her head, "Nope,
I didn't."
"Are you trying to convince yourself of that? Or are you trying to
convince me?"
"I..." Megami sat back down and looked around the cockpit, "I... I
don't know... I don't know..." She trailed off. Her shaking hand grasped
a locket around her neck, "I don't..."
Heero turned and went down to the dock, "Well, Megami, it's up to you!
I can't make your decisions for you!" He left.
"...I ...NO!" Megami shouted. "I don't know what I'm thinking. Now
to just go to Earth and start over!" Pasting a false smile on her face
she flew off toward Earth.
Half way there she stopped. What am I doing now? Why did I just
stop? I'm half way there! But... Duo...> Megami opened her locket. Now,
most people would expect pictures of friends or family inside, but instead
there was a shining blue disk. Megami looked at it frowning, "Okay All
Mighty One, you've been trying to call me, but I've been a little... busy."
"So I've seen! Turning completely human... never thinking about the
fact that the things happening to you were PLANNED! BY THE OTHER GODS AND
GODDESSES! Megami Kawai, you were losing your powers locked up in that
OZ facility! We had to pull you out of there!"
"Is that why you got me mixed up in all this? Were you toying with
Duo?!" Megami shouted, getting extremely angry, "Were you?!"
"No. He was just supposed to get you out of OZ, but it seems Shinigami
wanted his mortal self to have a goddess for a mate."
"MATE?! ARE YOU CRAZY?! DUO AND I CAN'T MATE!!!"
"We didn't say you had to." The King of the gods signed off.
"...Duo..." Megami murmured, "What are you thinking about now...?"
Megami closed her eyes and began crying again. Her hands flew over the
controls, and, without her realizing, she soon found herself back in the
hanger of Peace Million. "Where...?"
"Oh, Megami, if you're looking for Duo he's in his room still. I think
he's crying." Heero said, looking up from his work on Wingzero.
"Thanks, Heero!" Megami said, running straight toward the wing where
Duo slept. Midway she was stopped by Wufei, for only a second. She bowled
him over in her flight down the hall.
Wufei fell flat, What's this?> He thought, looking at some red
liquid in his hand, Blood? Why is my nose bleeding?>
"Duo!" Megami shouted as she threw open the door to his room, "Duo~!"
"...Huh? Me-Megami? Y-your okay!"
Megami threw her arms around him, "Duo! Oh my god... I'm so sorry!
I..." She gasped, Duo had put his arms around her too.
"Megami... I... I thought you'd..."
"Left?" Megami looked up into his eyes, "I was going to but, I just
decided there was something more important to me than keeping my identity
secret. YOU."
Duo blushed, "Megami..." He said, pulling her closer, "I..."
"Not another word." Megami said, placing her finger on his lips, "I'm
going to stay here for a while. And you have plenty of time to tell me
anything you want."
We were walking in the darkness
We never bothered to look
When we saw each other's faces
The darkness turned to light
But our hearts were still in shadows
To disperse in coming nights
THE END
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Okay, that's the end of this part. I won't write this 'saga' in order,
by the way. I will write it as it comes to me. Next story might be when
Hildy and I meet or the saddest thing I've written. (I have both in the
works =P)
Things to come:
Duo: "Megami, I want to ask you something really important..."
Heero: "Relena, I've found someone else..."
Kiseki: "Can I kill Wufei yet?"
Megami: "Sister, I wish you'd stop trying to kill me."
Wufei: "Um... Megami...?"
OH! I FORGOT TO MENTION THIS PART!!!!
All Gundam Caracters and mechas are not owned by me. Megami is my character
(Duo is her man) and Megami's Gundam is my creation. Kiseki is my friend's
character. And if you try to sue me you won't get a penny, my mom works
for a patent law firm and I have no money.
