Touched
Disclaimer: I am still
working on it, for some reason I can’t seem to get ownership! Lol, just
kidding. I do not own this, wish I did.
Dying and coming back is
just one step on the road of life; at least it is for us. By giving up our physical
bodies we leave all desires behind and can achieve the highest form of purity.
We then live as one with nature and never do anything to harm the environment.
It is this very nature of ours that make us and mortals incompatible. Those who
still desire war and all impure thoughts are cast from our world and are never
seen again. This is why our world was not tainted by the desires of mortals nor
their pollution and problems. We live in harmony with nature and nature
therefore rewards us with a peaceful and carefree life. However, the day that
mortals broke through the dimensional barrier to our home world that all
changed and we lost the peace and grace that we once had.
‘Wufei’
‘Heero’
‘Don’t be afraid. I won’t let anyone hurt you anymore.’
‘I won’t be afraid as long as you are near. But I still
do not understand where I am or how you can touch me. That is still very
confusing.’
‘Don’t worry I am just as confused. I’ll introduce
you. The gentle looking blond is Quatre, the unibang is Trowa, the braided
idiot is Duo, the girl with the sword is my sister Meilan, the long haired
blond is Milliardo, and the man with the wine is Treize. I do not know who the
girls are; they just came out just after we met you and saved our butts. They
even repaired our gundams.’
‘Gundams? Are
those the monsters that you were chasing me with?’
‘Yes’ Wufei looked up as Trowa cleared his throat
and then blushed.
“This is Heero; apparently he doesn’t understand a word
that we can say out loud. Somehow though I can speak with him through
telepathy. He doesn’t speak out loud either, at least he hasn’t. He confirmed
what they said back there about us not being able to touch him, but somehow I
can. He wants to know who the girls are though.”
“Sorry, we were waiting for you and we forgot to
introduce ourselves. I am Akari; this is one of my triplet sisters Hikaru, and
my other sister Hikari. This cabin belongs to our family so go ahead and borrow
it all you like. If you are wondering I built my gundams myself and appointed myself
its pilot.”
‘They are Akari, Hikaru, and Hikari they are triplets,
um, born at the same time. Do they even have more than one child where you are
from?’
‘No they don’t.
Like I said we can not be touched. Mortals taint our souls and go crazy, and
should we be impregnated by them, we die immiadetely, and alone my species has
no interest in the activity that your kind calls sex.’
‘Then how are the children born? I do not understand.’
‘We are born
from all that is pure. The light itself, and we are blessed and cursed with a
perfectly pure soul. However, an enemy has appeared in our home world that we
can not fight and my mother sent me away to try and protect me. I was pursued
and wound up here. I thought that I was safe but no sooner than I got here, the
enemy showed up here and began to pursue me again. I was wounded badly a long
time ago and then you found me.’
“He says that his home is under attack as well and his
people do not know how to defend against this enemy. He was chased here by that
enemy and no sooner than he got here he was pursued again. He also says that
they have no parents and they are born from light itself. If they have sex and
get pregnant then they die right after having the child and apparently having
more than one child at a time is unheard of. He has no idea what siblings are
let alone triplets. From the way it sounds we have the same enemy and they were
able to send one or two mobile suits to his home and went after him to begin
with. Once he arrived here it was easy for them to give chase because he was
now in an area that they were able to track him in. They want him badly.” I
didn’t know what to do. I was scared and these people were talking in some
weird language. Walking over to a cupboard I began to hesitantly play with one
of the doors.
CRACK!!!!!!!
Hearing the loud crack all the occupants in the room
turned and stared helplessly as the large china cabinet fell towards the
wayward boy. Running over when it hit the floor they began to lift the cabinet
when Wufei let out a sigh of relief.
‘You scared us. How did you get away so fast?’
‘Just something
that I do when I am scared. I go from one place to another in an instant. I
guess you would call it tele…tele…tele’
‘Teleportation’
‘Yeah that. Why did the large wooden object try to attack
me?’
‘It didn’t try to attack you; it broke a leg and fell
forward.’
‘It is a
monster with legs!!??’
‘Silly, look at the bottom of the “large wooden object”.
You see those things sticking out at the bottom?’
‘Yes’
‘Those are called legs, one of those broke off of the
cabinet, which is what it is called. Later I think that I may try to teach you
our language so that you can understand us. I think that all of this telepathy
is giving me a headache.’
“Is this any better?”
He had sounded out each word slowly as if he was unsure of how the words were
supposed to sound. Smiling at him Wufei nodded and then realized that he was
speaking in an ancient form of Japanese.
“Do you know any other languages?”
“Just this one, but I am not very good at it.” Heero
replied in plain English. Jumping Duo turned to look at him and laughed.
“Now I know that language well!” Giving him a shaky
smile, Heero inched closer to Wufei and looked at him questionably.
“I’m hungry. What do mortals eat anyway?”
“Fruit, vegetables, meat, starches, you have no idea what
I am talking about do you?”
“No.” Following the mortals into the kitchen he stared in
wonder and fears at all the different monsters and cabinets as Wufei had called
them. Sitting in the only contraption that he recognized, the chair, he watched
as Wufei began to pull out several items from a large metal container. Tilting
his chair backwards he began counting the tiles on the ceiling and singing a
low song in his native language.
“That sounds real pretty, what does it mean?”
“It tells of a war that will come to our land and the
mythical dragon that will come to save us. It also says that the dragon will be
the one to show my people that mortals are not as evil as they teach us in
school. It is a prophecy as well as a lullaby. I remember my mother signing it
all the time under her breath. It comforts me when I do not understand my
surroundings or the situation that I am in. Do you know why those people were
chasing me?”
“All we know is that they kept calling you a catalyst.
Something about needing a catalyst and a talisman to unlock something that will
change everything. As well as get rid of us.” Wufei said almost sadly.
“You sound sad. Why?”
“I guess that I am just tired of all the fighting that
they put us through. War after war after war, and they are all after the same
thing. Control over something that can not be controlled by people. Space is
something that can’t be controlled no matter what anyone tries to do and even
if it could be controlled, humans and immortals alike have no right to control
something that is far older and more grand than any knowledge could ever
comprehend. That’s all that I was thinking about.”
“You are a real Phenoeian (Fee-no-e-en).”
“What is that?”
“That is what we are called. Phenoeiens. Because as long
as we are not killed by mortals we can rise from the dead almost like a phoenix
and that is why we have no need of procreation. We live for eons and the first
concept that we learn is that natural forces and space cannot and should not be
controlled by anyone or anything. If that concept is learned and believed by
the person learning it, we are allowed to go through the coming of age
ceremony, and that is how we gain our wings. By gaining our wings we prove that
we are ready to learn our ancient past and how to defend our people and the environment
that we live in. Those who do not truly believe are cast out and sent away from
our lands never to return.”
“Wow. I didn’t know that. Those are just my own personal
beliefs. So what is this coming of age ceremony?”
“Well there is this large depression in the middle of the
ground and when a child steps into it, they are instantly vaporized, I guess
that is what you call it, though really it transports you to a place that is
far away from our world and you learn the past of our people and the powers
that each person is born with. Then the physical body is destroyed and the soul
is transformed into what you see now. Although I never got to finish my
ceremony because we were attacked and I was pulled out early.” Looking up I
gave a confused look at the faces that my new friends were making.
“So basically your soul is ripped from your body and then
becomes solid with wings?”
“I guess. If that is not a coming of age ceremony than
what do you call it?”
“Dying and becoming an angel.” Trowa said plainly and
quickly before Duo could answer.
“Dying? No, when we die we become a part of the environment
if it is our time and if not then we are just resurrected and rise from the
dead. I don’t understand Wufei what are mortal coming of age ceremonies like of
that is not what you do?”
“We have what is called a party. All of our friends come
over and we play games and celebrate the fact that our parents didn’t kill us
before then.”
‘That sounds extremely scary. Your parents would actually
kill you?’
‘Chinese parents are allowed to kill their children
for the slightest thing so we always walk on eggshells. Well normal children
do, I was defiant and I think in some way my parents enjoyed every minute of it
because they never made a move to stop me.’
‘Oh’
“How come you do not cast away your physical bodies and
become pure?”
“Because we can not rise from the dead like you can and
besides we do when we die for good. Kind of how you become one with your environment,
we become pure and go to a place we call heaven as long as we behave of course,
and depending on what mortal culture you follow. Heaven here has many different
names and descriptions, however if you are not pure than you go to a place
called hell, which is supposed to torment you for misbehaving, though I think
that this place is already hell.”
“Wufei you’re silly.”
“How is that?”
“Because I do not believe that there is a species that
can not rise from the dead. Everything does sooner or later, it all depends on
how long it takes for the soul to be purified and then placed back on the
planet they were born on. That’s how come we are always resurrected so fast. We
have always been pure and always will be unless we are tainted and then we are
no longer ourselves and we loose everything that we have gained while we were living
at home. You see?”
“So another words you are saying that when someone is
reincarnated they are just purified and sent back?”
“I guess so, uhmm, yup.” Glancing around Heero couldn’t
help himself as he noticed all the strange devices and he began to wander to
them one by one, experimenting to see how they worked.
“Do you know how to use your sword?” That got his
attention almost immediately.
“Of course I know how to use my sword. It has been passed
down in my ‘family’ for generations and we are taught how to use it before we
are even allowed to take the coming of age ceremony. That is something that will
never change. You see there was a time when my people were not at peace and we
had to fight all the time, naturally because of our up bringing we were the
ones that were loosing the battle and a lot of us were dying continuously
causing our souls to blacken and be destroyed. Then one day from no where a man
appeared and fought the invaders off by himself. He saved our people and
thousands of innocents from the other side and ended the thousand years of
fighting that had been taking place. After the wounded had been healed and the
dead given their proper passing rites, he turned and said that he would forever
separate the worlds to keep peaceful civilizations like mine from ever having
to go through that blood shed again. He then became the first of the real Phenoeiens.
By casting aside his desires and all other things that can corrupt the soul he
became pure. The people then followed his example and they to cast away their
guilt, greed and desires. The new race had begun and his sword was then passed
down through the ‘family’ that he had started when he became the flowers that
guarded the entrance to our world. It was said that as long as even one of the
flowers existed our world would be sealed away from the outside and that we
would not have to be touched by mortals and be afraid any longer. However all too
suddenly the flowers began to wilt and as their strength waned so did the
barrier and then the barrier began to allow several mortals through. I believe
before I was brought here there was still one flower in a far corner that had
not begun to wilt and its strength alone was keeping out all the rest of the
forces. But I know that its strength alone can not hold for long and that is
why I must return to my world and save my people, do you understand?”
“Of course we understand your desire to go and help your
people however; I don’t know how to return you to your world. And until we find
out you are stuck with us, now eat your food.” Glancing down Heero gave the
weird objects on his plate a skeptical look before giving a hesitant taste and
then eating rapidly moaning how good he thought the food was. Smiling Wufei sat
down and the others began to eat as well.
“They are delicious, what do you call this strange food?”
“Bacon, eggs, French toast, sausage, grits, oatmeal, and fried
potatoes why?”
“I like can we eat this all the time?”
“There are thousands of foods that you have yet to try. Don’t
worry we will try to make as many of them as we can.” Glancing over at Quatre,
Wufei tilted his head and nodded for the others to follow him. Stepping out of the
room after telling Heero not to touch anything without one of them present so
that he didn’t get hurt he closed the door and looked at the rest of the
pilots.
“We are going to have to find that talisman that the
enemy is talking about. If it is the key to his world along with him of course
then we are going to have to protect it. Although I have no idea what it would
look like, do you?”
“No idea. I was thinking that the catalyst would be some
kind of mythical object like the Holy Grail and not a kid that was scared and
lonely. I have no idea what the talisman could possibly be. Another person, an
actual object, a necklace, a weapon even, not one of us has a clue and I think
that the enemy has a very good idea. Q-man, you still have the recording of the
conversation that you picked up, right?”
“Yeah of course I do. Why?”
“See if you can’t find out exactly where they said that
the talisman was and some of us can go and check it out see if we can’t find
it.”
“No I think that it would be a better idea if we all
went. That way some of us don’t get captured and used as a bargaining chip to
get poor Heero back.”
“Good point Wufei. We’ll leave first thing in the morning.”
Here it is chappie two!
Amazing on how fast I updated huh? Just so you know I have another story called
Never to late going up shortly in the Naruto crossover section. Keep a watch
for it okay?
