Chapter 4

" Do you read all the time?" Sato asked quietly as he and Wu Fei walked in the mansion's garden in the warm afternoon.

" Hai. I try to." was Wu Fei's reply. Sato sighed.

" Do you want to know why I wake up screaming? Would it help you to understand me?" Sato asked suddenly. Wu Fei nodded and fixed his eyes on his companions. They sat under a tree for shade. Sato cleared his throat and began.

" I was Quatre's playmate until I was six. My family, my only family moved to the Earth. The Alliance was taking over and my family didn't like it. We weren't total pacifists and believed that fighting against the Alliance could help insure peace, so my father joined the fight. This continued till I was fourteen. I was coming home late at night with some presents for my mother's birthday. As I got home…" Sato trailed off and continued. " As I got home, Alliance soldiers finished murdering my father. They had raped my mother and killed her, as well as my ten year old sister." Sato stopped as he felt his tears wash over him. Wu Fei sat in shock. He had no idea that such crimes had gone on even before they got to Earth.

" I'm sorry, I had no idea…" Wu Fei said. Sato laughed bitterly.

" I'm sorry that I couldn't save my family Wu Fei, especially my sister. I joined the specials. Using their power while you gundam pilots distracted them and I hunted all five of those men and killed them without mercy. I had become the entity of vengeance and my revenge was complete. I then decided to fight for a future. Not mine, but the one that my little sister could have had. She deserved the best. After Oz split in two, I joined the Treize faction. Somehow I strayed from my group and stumbled on some Alliance troops. I asked if they would join us since we were all fighting Romafeller one way or another. Their answer was to throw me in a cell for and entire week. Every night, they, they…" Sato shuddered, curling his fingers into a fist, shutting his eyes from the tears that threatened to overrun him. Wu Fei held Sato in his arms, almost afraid of what the boy would say.

"… They raped me Wu Fei. Tortured me, abused me, called me a slut, a slave. They never fed me, not even water." Sato cried as he leaned unto Wu Fei's shoulder begging for relief.

" The bastards. I'm sorry." Wu Fei spoke softly.

" You shouldn't. I survived a surprise to me. I killed every single one of those men. All I could hear was my sister's screams. I was a complete monster. That's why I wanted to die. My hands are soaked in blood. That night that you saved me, if you hadn't, those "men" won't have lived to see the day break. Quatre thinks I'm an angel. I am not the angel he perceives, I'm an angel of vengeance, I am not death." Sato concluded, his tears ceasing. Wu Fei was silent as he took in Sato's story. It struck a nerve.

" And I thought you were weak. You are braver than I imagined." Wu Fei said as he smiled at Sato. Sato's lips curled in a small smile.

" I hope you're right. Thank you for listening. If you want to tell Quatre, go ahead, but please, don't upset him." Sato said as he got up and headed further into the garden. Wu Fei watched as Sato left. He went back to the mansion and found Quatre sitting in the couch waiting.

" What did he say Wu Fei?" Quatre asked as soon as he walked in. Wu Fei sat down.

" He decided to fight to find justice for his family which the Alliance had killed. He killed the men that abused his family. After Oz split in two, he was raped by Alliance soldiers. He found those guys as well and killed them, even more enraged. Quatre, Sato's been through all that and he wanted to die because he thought he wasn't your friend anymore because you might believe what he is capable of. Trowa finding him was not what he wanted. He thinks that he's tainted, but I don't think so. He's more like us." Wu Fei said. Quatre was saddened a great deal. Wu Fei got up and patted Quatre's shoulder.

" Don't feel angry or sad Quatre. Sato's dealing with this the best way he can."

Wu Fei added as he started heading up the stairs.

" What if he tries to kill himself again?" Quatre asked.

" He won't. I'll give him the reason why he shouldn't. Right now he won't do anything because he doesn't want to see you sad." Wu Fei said. With that, he left.

Trowa came home and found a very confused Quatre still sitting on the couch.

" What's wrong?" Trowa asked as he held his lover in his arms.

" Wu Fei found out. " Quatre replied, lifting his head to reveal beautiful blue eyes full of tears.

" Tell me." Trowa said. Quatre told Trowa the whole story. Trowa for once was shocked and it was in his eyes and on his face.

" What did Wu Fei say?" Trowa asked.

" He said that I shouldn't be sad or angry because Sato's doing his best to deal with his pain." Quatre replied.

" Ahhh. What if he tries to commit suicide again?" Trowa asked.

" Wu Fei said that he won't because he doesn't want to upset me. He also said something about giving Sato another reason not to." Quatre said.

" The other reason seems obvious. " Trowa said with a knowing look in his eyes. Quatre looked at Trowa, a smile reaching his lips.

'"So do I." Quatre said as his sudden discovery lifted his spirit.

" I think Wu Fei's in love with Sato." Trowa said. Quatre looked surprise.

" From the way I see it, Sato's in love with Wu Fei. I've known Sato for a bit." Quatre said.

" Should we tell Heero and Duo?" Trowa asked.

" Tell us what Trowa?" Duo asked as he and Heero arrived.

" About why Sato almost died purposely." Quatre said quietly. Heero and Duo sat down as Quatre told them. Heero's dark eyes seemed to remain the same as Quatre finished the story.

" I would have done the same thing. " Heero said.

" And he always seem so cheerful. Poor guy must be hurting a lot." Duo said.

"WuFei said that we shouldn't worry. With us around, Sato will make a full recovery and Wu Fei will certainly see to it." Quatre said. The four pilots nodded. They went into different parts of the house. Soon enough the smell of food signified dinner. This time both Wu Fei and Sato had cooked a dinner of rice with vegetables and beef in a sauce. Duo broke into a huge spasm attack at the sight of Wu Fei in an apron.

" Shut up Maxwell." Wu Fei growled. Sato whispered something into Chang's ear about Duo being a food disposal unit. Wu Fei smiled.

"Dinner's ready. Thanks to Wu -kun and I. Duo, be nice." Sato said. And thus the evening ended.
