Relena had almost been killed. Heero had run off with their only Gundam, but came back, and whether he would stay for long, despite his promise to Relena, no one knew. Oh, that look on his face. The first time he had looked human, and because she had berated him for his usual expression. How could Dorothy have interrupted that moment?! She always brings trouble. And Milliardo, what was he up to? Relena was spent with worrying about Pagen and images of Heero's startled expression flitted through her mind as she lay, trying to get some sleep. Why was she always being saved? Thank goodness Quatre and Noin had shown up in those new mobile suits, the white Tauruses of Sanc kingdom. Suddenly an alarm pierced Relena's thoughts as she jumped out of bed and ran to the mobile suit hangar
Quatre was worried about Relena. So was Noin. As they were walking towards the hangar to survey the damage to their mobile suits while protecting the princess, they talked about the three most confusing people they knew, Heero, Dorothy, and Zechs/Milliardo.
"Well, it looks like no promise is going to keep Heero here. Why does he always have to fight? I love this pacifist nation."
"You are a Gundam pilot, yet you hate to kill. It’s almost as complex as Heero's need yet inability to do so. And Dorothy, I worry about her presence here."
"Is Relena's brother going to play Peacecraft or the Lightning Count for awhile?"
"I'm not sure, but-"
Suddenly an alarm sounded and they began to run towards their destination
Satsuki loved the challenge of breaking an entry. And even more exciting, she was going to try to get some information on the Gundams. Oh, how she wished to be a pilot of such a wonderful machine! All of the mobile suits she had experienced before had lousy reaction time. Stealthily Satsuki Telgar, an escaped juvee hall kid from the colonies, jumped onto the nearest suit and used the suits to get to the computers without being spotted.
Accessing the databases.. Yes!! Just look at all the information!! Slip in a disk, download the info. Oh, dammit! An alarm!!!..
Suddenly shooting broke out around her and Satsuki had no choice but to pocket the ½ downloaded disc and put up a fight. Oh well, that I don't really mind. What? They sent a lady and a boy to catch me?! Yeah, right!!
"Where are you? Who are you?" there was a rising panic in Quatre's mind as he thought of an OZ soldier getting in here.
"Over there! I see something! No wonder we couldn't see him! Those clothes are black on black!"
This is gonna be a nothing fight.
Enough. Satsuki jumped into plain view as Noin spotted her.
"There she is!"
Punching, kicking, hey, she wasn't put in juvee hall for nothing! An easy fight, she was right. Sure, some bruises, a broken rib, nothing that couldn't easily be fixed. Ohh!
"I got him!" Quatre grabbed the intruder from behind, wrenching an arm around the guys’ back as Noin grabbed her gun and took aim.
"Don't make me use this, buddy."
"Oh! Your not much bigger than me! Can you see his face, Noin?"
"I" -elbow the brat in the stomach- "am not" -kick the gun outa the bitch's hand- "a guy!" Satsuki ran off, strait for the line of waiting soldiers.
"Stop right there or we'll shoot!"
Yeah right! All it takes is a flip, up, and over! Some guys get way too confident when wielding weapons. Nothing like fighting with your own strength! She thought of the Gundams.. well, they're the exception to the rule!
"Shit, Quatre, h-she wasn't even afraid of being shot!"
"What was she after? Damn, she got info on the Gundams! Was she from OZ?"
"No, I don't think so"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I'm Not a Guy!
Satsuki tentatively entered Relena's - the princess's? headmistress's? which? - office. She wanted to help the Sanc Kingdom, for she knew of the ties her brother had there. "Miss Relena? I was hoping to enroll in this school. I am not important, but I do seek pacifism."
Dorothy was mad. There is no way to get rid of that brat. Imagine the turmoil putting Zechs in charge of the country would cause! Why couldn't I have been sent to Luxembourg? I missed a major battle there! Oh well, there's a new student to terrorize in fencing.
Satsuki loved fencing. She knew it wasn't one of her strengths, but who could not like fighting when no one gets hurt? Perfect, ne? I'm so screwed up. Pacifist, yet fighter. I feel as if something is missing. Now, where's a mask that will fit me? Ah, here we are. Now to test those Gundam pilots..
Heero turned as the new girl entered the gym. He had a strange feeling he knew the girl, had some connection. "Heero no baka, imagining things again.." he muttered. He would have to test her at fencing.
Dorothy also turned at seeing the girl enter the room. Those eyes.. Devoid of expression, yet showing all emotions. It should be fun to whip her butt
Quatre turned as soon as the new girl entered the room.. It seemed as if everyone's view was fixed on her, yet there was nothing special about her. But those eyes almost like Heero's. Actually, very like his. She looked like him too, with a very masculine and mysterious face. But she was definitely a girl, the way the shadows played on her white fencing suit reminded him of how the red alarm lights played on the black skin-tight outfit of the girl last night.. he really hadn't meant to grab her.. he thought it was a guy.. oh kuso, he was gonna have a nose bleed in the middle of fencing class! He turned his attention towards Dorothy.. he wouldn't have to worry about nosebleeds looking at her.
Satsuki entered the room, looking for the Gundam pilot. Yes, the brat she had fought last night was a pilot. She would fight him first, see if he was any better when he was ready, expecting. She walked towards him, playing the air with her sword. "Would you do me the pleasure of a fight?"
Dorothy walked up to the girl. "You don't want to fight him. He's one of the best. Other than that one over there," She flicked her head dismissingly in Heero's direction. "Why don't you fight me first?"
"Sure, it might be fun to fight you. Just don't go to easy on me," she said teasing. Satsuki thrust the end of her sword into the ground, causing it to flip up in the air, as she grabbed the handle and sliced the air with the long, graceful sword. "Engarde. And I'm no show-off."
It was almost too easy to beat Dorothy. Satsuki even slashed her suit and drew blood four times, just because the bitch's cocky attitude was getting on her nerves. "Ha ha ha! This is so easy! The way you talked, I thought you posed some sort of a challenge!"
Dorothy growled, astonished at how easily she had been beaten. "Only the Gundam boys can beat me in this school! No girl has ever, I mean, how did you, are you sure you aren't one of the Gundam boys?!" she sputtered in her anger and rage.
"I am not a guy! How many times do I have to tell you people that?! Uh oh, " and a glance at Quatre confirmed her fears. Tossing her sword to the ground, "Gotta run!"
Satsuki thought she would easily outrun the people chasing her, but she should have known better. Of course my brother would easily catch me! And that brat, and the girl. She'd have to get rid of them one by one. Thinking fast, she yanked off her fencing mask and flung it at Dorothy's face, causing the glass to shatter on impact. One down, two to go
Dorothy cried out. "You two get her! She cut my face!!"
"Dammit Heero, she's fast!!"
But Heero seemed to be anticipating her every move, and as she turned down a hallway he easily caught her. "What where you doing in the hangar?! Why did you enroll here?! The person in the hangar was a fighter. In class you were a pacifist. Hey!"
Satsuki elbowed him hard in the stomach, making him double over in pain, then kicked him in the back of the knees, and next thing Heero knew he was pinned to the ground by her standing on him. "How’s that for a fighter? Besides, I'm not the only one here who likes to fight but has a kind heart." She glanced at Quatre before exchanging mutual glares with Heero, who she was reluctantly helping to his feet.
"Hey, don't look at me, I don't like to fight! Ya know, Heero, you two look an awful lot alike. The same empty expression, same killer glare, same wild hair"
"Well, there's an easy explanation for that. He's my brother!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A Lonely Past
"What do you mean you're my sister? Dr. J never said I had any family! And then if I have family, why don't I have a real name, other than Odin Lowe Jr., and Heero Yuy?"
As Relena came running up, she couldn't help but note the panicked expression on Heero's face and the tender one on the girl's -what was her name? Oh, yes, Satsuki. Nor the bloody cuts on Dorothy's and the bewildered expression on Quatre's. "What's going on?"
"I think I have some explaining to do. Relena, do you have a place we could sit down and talk? Oh, and Dorothy..? Sorry, and you might want to get that cleaned up." Satsuki followed Relena into her office, contemplating the best way to tell the three about herself..
"So, go ahead."
"Well, I guess I better start from the beginning. Heero is my broth-"
"Do we have parents?"
"Heero, don't interrupt till she's done," Relena looked expectantly to Satsuki.
"No, our parents are dead. We are twins, born ten minutes apart. I was born first, with little difficulty. Then you came along, and *cough* there were.. problems. Mother died. Father was furious. He felt that you had killed her. But you hadn't, not at all - he knew the dangers of having children in space, of mother getting pregnant. He got rid of you, gave you to an old family friend-"
"Odin Lowe."
Satsuki nodded, and continued her narrative. "So I kept track of you, after father formally denounced you as his son. I always knew I had a brother, even though father tried to hide that from me, and yearned to learn more. I always felt as if-"
"You were missing something, something important, something you needed to make you feel needed, feel yourself."
"Hai, exactly. When we were seven, just after I had learned of your whereabouts with Dr. J, I became very ill. You see, I was named for Mother, looked just like her. Here, in my locket, is a picture of her. Anyways, when I became ill, Father couldn't take it. The doctors said I might die. I knew I wouldn't, but I wasn't able to talk to tell him. So he committed suicide one night, leaving me all alone in this world" Fighting her sobs, Satsuki went on. "So you see, you killed Mother and I killed Father. Oh, I wish I didn't look like her. Then maybe Father would still be alive"
"Satsuki, you can’t blame yourself. Just like I cant blame myself about Mother," Heero tried to comfort his… sister.
"You don't understand. What it is like to loose a parent, to sit by and watch, rendered helpless, while they die, because of you"
"I do." Quatre spoke up softly, on the verge of tears. "Its horrible. That's exactly how I felt when my father"
"Oh, you must be the Winner boy. I thought you were a Gundam pilot! I just knew it! No one could explain your disappearance. Should I continue..? Ok.. I was sent to the local children's home, an orphanage, in the colonies. I continued to keep track of you Heero, from there. I'd spy on you and Dr. J. I think he knew I was there. I was so proud of you when operation meteor went into action. I was always getting into trouble for fighting, stealing, causing unrest in the colonies. My main objective was always to get the colonists to support you. But as OZ infiltrated us with the most obvious of tactics, they wouldn't listen to what I had to say; they were oblivious to their manipulation. So OZ locked me up in juvee hall. I always knew where you were, whether you were on Earth or in space. I kept track of you through the media and through my feelings. Then you came to space! I was ecstatic. I thought I would finally get to you. But OZ did first, and you were thrown into jail, and there were so many problems. They had lousy security in Juvee, so I always slipped in and out. I had a feeling you and the rest of the pilots couldn't so easily escape. Then everything seemed to happen at once. The forming of the Treize Faction, everything. It was a prefect time for me to escape the colonies unnoticed, in all the turmoil, and go to Earth where I knew you were. I knew you would probably go to the Sanc Kingdom, for I felt a strange link to the place. So I tried to land nearby. I landed and destroyed the mobile suit. It took me till three days ago to get here, and then there were all those problems. Last night was the perfect time to sneak in. I just wanted some info on you, or on the Gundams. I love to fight with the mobile suits. I used to always sneak in and out with the Treize Faction. But the suits, even the Tauruses for the mobile dolls, have such lousy reaction time. I thought they were top technology."
"They are, second only to the Gundams so far."
"Oh. I wish I had a Gundam.

Duo:: It gives us happiness, a sense of life and belonging. Alas, I do not know.
Quatre:: Why have we let our world fall apart? Why do we not revel in the simple pleasures of life, like a glass of fresh, cold lemonade and catching fireflies on a hot summer's eve?

Quatre:: And it is tearing apart our happiness.
Duo:: Tearing up our souls.
Quatre:: Our love.
Dou:: for EARTH.
Quatre:: for GOD.
