Author's Comments: Um… nothing really important. Standard A/N apply I do not own GW never have never will, I am not making money off this fic and I have none, so don't sue, k? However the character Angelina is COMPLETELY MINE and Morgaine is partially mine as well as my sister Kat's, so don't steal. Thankies! This is completely off the hook and chances are you're going to think me psycho after reading this. But that is (not) the case! 0.0 --- Minorly updated 8/14/06

With a sigh and young man with unruly spiked dark brown hair closed down his laptop and leaned back in his chair. How I hate this job at times… this was Heero Yuy, admitting something he would never say out loud. He was the perfect soldier, sure, but sometimes he just plain got sick of it. He didn't really have feelings but he did get bored with all the missions he was sent on. They were all the same, boring and unoriginal. It was always gain information, destroy the base and get out unnoticed. Plus he didn't like secrets being kept from him. And Dr. J was keeping a secret from him. Something important that involved him in some way or another. How he knew it did he didn't know but he just did. Maybe it was a low form of ESP. Doubt it… Heero thought snippily.
Heero pushed himself from he large computer chair and stretched his arms over his head. His lean body was the frame of an eighteen-old man with a rigid look and mass of well-taught muscles. His Prussian eyes sparkled dangerously in the moon light and his dark hair shone softly. Heero was dressed simply in a pair of dark blue baggie pants. He had long since grown of out his tight pants/ shorts phase. Now that he looked back he realizes he must have looked like some sexually frustrated boy. This brought a smirk to his face. The smirk was treacherous, yet alluring in a sort of brazen sexy way.
Heero Yuy could be portrayed as hot or super cute but once his personality is publicized, that sort of belief is mostly squashed because he had the personality of a wet whip. In other words… he had none. At one time a girl found him very pleasing and amusing but she had long since moved on. Relena Peacecraft… Heero thought grimly and his smirk turned to a frown. That name leaves a bad taste… thank god someone took her away… With a yawn he fished for the light switch. As much as he liked the darkness he did need to flip on the lights quickly.
Heero grimaced when the bright white light flooded the room. Before his eyes even registered what they had seen his gun was in his hand.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSS
There in his favorite chair was a girl, a beautiful young woman. Her long strawberry blonde hair spilled well to her heels and swooped gracefully into one large curl at her ankles. Some how the moonlight had found business to get itself permanently twisted into her long locks. Her eyes were large sapphire blue that seemed to welcome him to die in. They were framed by extensive full eyelashes with a dash of sliver glitter on the corner of each eye towards the temples. Her face was round and covered with soft, most likely silky, tanned skin with a pair of full lips that were painted in a shinny gloss.
Heero allowed his eyes to roam over her again to take more about her that he had missed originally. She's got killer curves… Heero admitted. He had changed. Slowly with the help of his teammates he was gaining back his humanity and Duo was showing him the difference between a beautiful girl with a "killer body" and a beautiful girl with a "sporty body". This girl had it both. She was wearing huge black rave pants so her shoes were hidden without any trouble. She wore a tight black halter top that exposed her midriff and some of her rib area. Her stomach was firm and marked with a few small scars.
"Who the hell are you?" Heero shook himself out of his daze. She smiled sweetly and moved herself out of the chair with an arch of her back. She raised one of her blonde eyebrows and walked away towards his kitchen. Heero noticed the tiny braids that feel among the rest of her hair that swayed as she moved. "I said who are you?" Heero growled and stepped after her. He heard a small giggle escape her as she bent over to tie her shoe. Was she purposely putting her body in ever arousing position or just doing it naturally?
Again Heero shook his head to clear his thoughts. Roughly he caught her arm and pulled her up so she was facing him. She was a bit shorter then he so he pulled her closer to force her to look at him. "Who the hell are you?"
She didn't answer only looked him in the eye with a blank expression. "Who are you?" Heero repeated firmly.
"Do I do the speech?" Her voice came out sweet and soft without a hint of fear.
"Just tell me who the hell you are," Heero said deadly.
"Aw you take all the fun out of it, Heero. I was trained to be your partner, to know you inside you out. To either push you over the edge in anger or to make you explicitly happy."
"Wh… What the hell are you talking about?" Heero was not on guard. Trained to be his partner… then that means she's a pilot and as strong as he is too- a beeping sound the room.
"Aop… that's my cue to leave. Being seeing you…" She smiled sweetly and stood up on her tiptoes kissing him gently.
"Wait!" Heero grabbed her arm again, in a daze. "Who are you?"
"Let's just say you'll be seeing me for the rest of your life one way or another. Meet me tomorrow night… this time… at the rave Cave of Darkness. I'll find you," she kissed him again and ran way, throwing herself off his balcony before he could even protest. Jumping to the balcony he watched the thruster burn of a MD possibly a Gundam twinkle in the dark sky.
SSSSSSSSSSSSSS
It was four in the morning and Heero found himself pacing the floor next to his bed. That damn girl was all he could think of and it was driving him mad! She was brave no doubt. She had kissed and he had liked it! He had wanted more. What that girl had done to him he wasn't enjoying it one bit. Her image had been burned into my retina! Sweet Goddess I swear it has! Heero said and closed his eyes. Sure enough, just like any other time he had her image came up. "Dammit… who is she?" Heero mumbled from behind his hands. "I have to go to work tomorrow too… Damn…" Just then there was a knock on his door.
Mumbling a curse he walked down stairs and opened the door only to close it again. "Go away Duo…" Heero growled.
"Man, open up. Why are you up?" Duo called through the condo's door.
"Because you woke me up," Heero opened the door and leaned on the frame.
"Don't get smart with me your not qualified- your lights have been on for forever and a day! What's up?" Duo walked in. Heero shook his head and walked into his kitchen to make himself some strong coffee.
"Thinking- no smart ass answer," Heero added quickly.
"About?" Duo sat on the granite counter.
"A girl," Heero admitted with an irritated sigh. "I don't even know her name but I could draw her by memory so well it looks like her reflection,"
"You got it bad… dude, le'me see," Heero handed Duo a piece of printing paper with a drawing on it. A wolf whistle was let loose and a few mumbled comments followed.
"Top it off she's suppose to be my perfect partner and she's a Gundam pilot." Heero said and poured creamer into his black coffee.
"How? J?"
"I'm only guessing,"
"Wouldn't he have told you?" Duo helped himself to a cup of liquid caffeine and sugar.
"Does he ever tell me what he does?" Heero stared sourly at the liquid in his mug. Now he'd never get to sleep.
"Good point," Duo commented as he idly stirred the liquid.
"It's driving me mad; I swear!"
"She's got you worked and you don't even know her name. That's rich man, very rich. Ever going to see her again?" Duo sat down at the kitchen table that was cluttered with papers and CD's. "By the way… you already were crazy…"
"You can talk big, dip wad," Heero shot back. "I'm supposed to meet her tomorrow night at the Cave of Darkness at 10." He rubbed his eyes with his fingers and half groaned and half sighed. Duo watched his best friend for a minute before he sighed as well.
"Well obviously you're taken with her so I'm not even going to ask if she's single." Duo smirked when Heero glared at him. "Only fooling. So have you tired to do a search on her?" Heero rolled his eyes.
"She's supposed to be my partner… has anyone of you ever found any info on me?" Heero shot back.
"Okay… good point but still she might have programmed something so it will accept you and only you, ya know?"
"That's like shooting in the dark…" Heero said cynically.
"You seem to hit," Duo replied casually and took a sip of his growth stunt juice.
"You're not going to leave till I do are you?" Heero glanced sideways at the young man across from him. Duo Maxwell was his best friend and the strangest person he knew. He hand a long chestnut braid that Heero had been –more than once- tempted to cut it off and had happy cobalt blue eyes. They were the same height, Heero maybe a little taller.
"Nope." Duo answered from behind a newspaper.
"Fine!" Heero gave in and got up with his mug in hand. Duo smiled triumphantly and followed Heero up stairs to Heero's room. Duo liked the new Heero better then the old. The old Heero would have shot him by now or at lest screamed "Omae O Korosu" while chasing him around waving a gun. This Heero was more easygoing and better to get along with. Sure he was still not so great when it came to being nice but at least now he could hold up a conversation, had somewhat of a social life, didn't try to kill himself on a regular basics (once a day) and was pretty cool to hang with. But somehow Duo was going to have to try and talk the Perfect Soldier into letting him tag along to the rave with him. He had to see this girl in flesh.
Heero flipped on his laptop and it blipped to life instantly. It was fast- of course it was Heero's! Duo was about to ask why he didn't use his PC but then realized that if a tracker came up it would be easier to disconnect then on the PC. Rolling his head in a circle, Heero cracked his neck and leaned back in his chair as Duo pulled up a metal fold chair and sat in it backwards. Neither one really knew where to start; the only thing they could really think of doing is to sit and think.
"This isn't helping…" Duo mumbled and Heero grunted his agreement. "Maybe we should pull up the rave's page?"
"Worth a try… might be able to hack up the guest list and security camera details to look for common people … sounds like she goes there quiet a bit." Heero shrugged and let his fingers dance across the keyboard as Duo lazily looked around the room.
It was just like all the other ones, dark and comfortable. Only five soft light lamps and three black lights lighted the room. All across the room were posters of Nine-Inch Nails, Korn and other alternative rock music bands. Duo still had to admit Heero had a cool house and wouldn't mind having it. True it could be bigger and better; Heero didn't need a big house. A condo with two rooms and one bathroom, kitchen, living room and library was just fine for him. He made a big enough mess with this place, the bigger the place- he said- the bigger the mess. Duo had to agree with him.
All the pilots lived around this area because they found the rent cheaper and the neighborhood quiet. True they all lived on L1 but the other four pilots were never really worried about their jobs very much. If forces ever attacked anywhere it was always the new colonies. Duo stretched with a yawn and glanced over at Heero's work. Still nothing of large significance; I'm just running a hunt throughout the databases to find the most frequently listed names. That would be done in a minute or so because it looked like there were plenty of names.
"This is probably the only rave in the universe that makes sure that everyone goes in gives them a real name and has them sign. Know who owns it?" Heero looked over at Duo when Duo spoke.
"Suppose to be some rich woman or something around there. I guess she was pampered daddies girl and inherited all his money and power. Something around that," Heero shrugged to further prove he really didn't know. He'd been doing quiet a bit of that lately.
"A rich woman? That's all you know?" Duo raised an eyebrow skeptically.
Heero sighed and leaned back in his chair as the search continued. "Mysterious and not very public, I think she's from L6."
"What happened to her mother and father? From the sounds of her being on L6 it tells you that something was wrong to cause the woman to be laid up there." Duo pointed out.
"She must have gotten out some how and gotten to L6 the girl was born. Who knows? The woman died in a crash not long after that and the father just sorta disappeared leaving them all his huge signs." Heero tilted his head to the side and saw the flash of an IM come up. "The hell…?" He slid back into his chair and twisted it around so he was facing the laptop.
