Ai Wa Ryuusai (Love is a Shooting Star)
By Bunny (Trowa no Koibito)

~Part Four~

It had been a couple of months since they first recruited Adria. They had
gotten to know her better and she was very well liked.

Katy: What, no title and author this time?
Professor G: She was so excited to get to the "meat" of the story.
Trowa: *snort* Raw meat maybe.
Rowen: Maggots on that meat?
Kain: Yes. They used to be known as Gundam Pilots.

Every night, Adria
and Trowa would lay outside under the stars and talk to each other. She had
grown very fond of Trowa...but something is holding her back from her
feelings....

All: OH NO!! It's a HORRIBLY OVER-USED PLOT CLICHE!!!

Introducing... Plot Point From Nowhere Version 2.0

'I have to tell someone!' she thought desperately. 'Someone who will
understand...' She ran over the possible choices in her head. She could
tell Heero...no...he'd probably shoot her or something

Kain: PLEASE!!!
Rowen: Bang, Bang
Kain: He shot her down
Rowen: Bang, Bang
Katy: Bang bang, she hit the ground
Rowen: Bang bang, that awful sound.
Kain: My baby shot me down~!
All: *applause*

She could tell
Duo...nah...too loud...he'd tell everyone. Telling Trowa would somewhat
defeat the purpose. So, the only one left was Quatre. He'd understand.
He's so understanding and nice.

Um...Quatre? Can I see you for a second? Alone?" Adria asked.

Trowa: (as Quatre) Sure! *meat cleaver behind back*
Livy: (as Quatre) What ever you say! *gets ether rag*

"Uh...sure." Quatre replied.
They walked into a conference room and shut the door.
"There's something I have to tell you." Adria started.

Katy: (as Adria) I'm gay.
Rowen: (as Adria) I'm addicted to crack.
Professor G: (as Adria) I'm really a porn star.
Kain: (as Adria) I'm sleeping with Door
All: EEEWWW!!

"It's about Trowa."
"Go on. I'm listening. That's what I'm here for." Quatre said.
"Okay. I've...developed feelings for Trowa." Adria said.

"What's wrong with that?" Quatre asked.
"Well, you see...It all started when I was just a little girl..."

::flashback::

All: NOOOOOOOOOO!!

A little girl and her parents are in a park. The father is teaching the
little girl how to ride a bike. The little girl is Adria, 2-years-old.
Suddenly, her father stops and blood starts gushing out of his chest.

Professor G: Too bad whoever shot him didn't hit Adria instead.

He
had been shot in the back. The mother falls over grasping her chest. Blood
seeps through her fingers and she falls over. Blood starts seeping out of
her, forming a pool of blood around where she fell. Both of Adria's parents
lie there. Still.

Katy: Fragments.
Trowa: Alive.
Rowen: Who the heck is shooting anyway?
Katy: The sniper.

She walks over to them.
"Father? Mother?" she asked. No answer.
'Maybe they didn't hear me.' She thought.

Katy: (as Adria) Maybe I'm retarded.

"FATHER? MOTHER?" she asked louder.

"They're not going to answer you, kid. They're dead. I killed 'em." Said a
voice from behind her. The voice belonged to

Rowen: A cow who spoke Russian!
Trowa: The Wizard of Oz!

a man in his mid twenties. He
was tall and had black hair and a long scar down his cheekbone.

Rowen: Since scars can be on bones themselves.
Livy: It's a gaping scar.

He was
dressed in camouflage. Men dressed in similar attire came out from the
bushes. They all pointed their guns at the little girl.


Rowen: It's like a grade-B horror movie. Only the horror is that she doesn't FREAKING die!

"Who...Who are you?" Adria asked.

Professor G: Bob.
Livy: Ringo.
Kain: God.

"They call me the Black Death." The man answered.
Adria ran.
"You can run little girl, but you can't hide from me!" The Black Death
called after her. "I'll kill everything you love and everything that loves
you back. You're next!"

All: .... *blink*
Katy: Why is this guy with a name of an illness that killed off half of Europe walking around in broad daylight shooting small children's parents?
Kain: But wait, it's Darwinism!
Professor G: If it's Darwinism, Adria should be dead.

::end flashback::

All: YAY!!

"..And that's what I've been doing all my life, running. He...he killed my
adopted parents too. After that, I joined up with some mercenaries to learn
to protect myself. They taught me how to fight. I joined OZ, which was a
big mistake.

Trowa: Big Mistake. Like having Mariah Carrey star in a movie.

After I quit, I settled down to live in a small cabin outside
of a small town. I adopted a stray cat and life was going good. Until and
couple of months ago...One night, I came home and I went to look for my cat.
She usually greeted me at the door, but she didn't come that night. I
walked into my bedroom to find

Katy: A pack of angry wolves!
Rowen: Aliens coming to claim her body!

the cat...slit open...and hanging from the
ceiling with a rope tied around its neck.

Katy: *screams*
Kain: *hurls*
Professor G: *calls animal cruelty*

Under the cat's body was a piece
of paper. It simply said, 'You're next.' I didn't wait around. I don't
know how you guys found me to recruit me. I was living in a condemned
building at the time."

Rowen: Maybe you could, I dont' know, invest in an alarm system?

"Wow. That's some past." Quatre said. "And you're worried that they'll kill
Trowa?"
"Yes." Adria answered. "I can't put him in danger. I have to keep away
from him. I know you're his best friend, so if he asks about me. Just tell
him that he should stay away from me."

All: OKAY!
Rowen: You should stay away from you too.
Professor G: However the Black Death is welcome.
Kain: Maybe he'll actually hit her this time.
Trowa: We can only hope.

And with that, Adria left the room. Quatre stayed sitting on the bed, not
sure what he should do.

All: KILL HER!!
