Blood Stains "Why are you alive and he is dead? Why are you walking around and he is cold in his grave? It's not fair." "I know." Brown eyes widened in surprise. "You know?" "Only too well. It is a question I ask myself every day." "Do you know the answer? Have you found it?" He sighed softly, crystal blue eyes serious as he watched the slender dark-haired woman. The gun in her hand was steady, the light in her eyes intense and the pain in her a mirror of his own. "No. No, I have not. I look for it in everything I do, search for it wherever I go." "You and your damnable war killed him. Why should I not kill you now?" "No reason why you should not. Revenge? It is your right but do you want to live as I do, day after day with the blood staining your hands? It never goes away. It's always there, no matter how many times you wash your hands. You can scrub the skin off and you still can see it. Feel it. It never goes away." The gun wavered, a slight trembling. "I am to believe you?" "Not particularly. Why should you?" "He idolised you. The Lightning Count. You killed him." "He was a soldier? He had a will of his own and a belief in what was right and what was wrong. Do you demean him? Make his willingness to sacrifice his life worthless? You do him a dishonour, Woman." "Wu Fei, it's alright." Zechs spoke quietly as the woman jumped, the gun wavering before she glared and her finger tightened dangerously on the trigger. "Where did he die? Was he father, brother, or lover? What was his name?" Wu Fei edged closer to Zechs but never took his eyes from the woman. "Michael. He ... was my brother. My baby brother and he joined Oz because of Him! He died because of Him!" "He is not the only one who died in the war. Why would Zechs kill one of his own?" "He was there because of HIM!" "He was where?" "Victoria. He was at Victoria learning to pilot. He should have been at home and he was there because of Him!" Victoria Base. Wu Fei felt his blood run cold. He knew exactly when this woman's brother died. He knew almost to the minute and it had nothing do with the blonde who was watching him with grave eyes. Zechs knew too and he was asking him with those too serious eyes not to say anything. He could see it there, the demand he remain silent. "I killed your brother. It was I who set the charges and detonated them." Everything blended into motion. The anguished wail, the movement of the blonde launching himself at Wu Fei and the sound of her gun going off blending with that of the gun in Heero's hand and the soft gasp from Zechs as he took Wu Fei down with him.
