"What are we here for?" Duo asked looking around the plain white room.
"Hn. It's our mission, of course," Heero replied, looking like he expected every mission to be in a pure white room with absolutely nothing else in it, except Duo and Heero.
"Um, Heero? What is the mission exactly? I mean isn't there supposed to be something else in here besides……….. white?" Heero turned around to look at the braided boy. He did have a point. What were they supposed to be doing in an empty white room? There weren't any OZ soldiers or bases or anything for that matter. Heero looked around the room again. White was all he saw and white was all there was.
Duo sucked as much air that could possibly fit in his lungs and shouted, "HELLO? IS ANYBODY HERE? HELLO?" They waited.
"Duo?" was the returning echo. Then as if from out of nowhere, Quatre and Trowa appeared four and three-fourths of a foot away from Heero. Duo jumped as Quatre greeted him, since he was facing away from Heero, he didn't see them warp in.
"Man, what is this place?" Duo looked around again, yet the room stubbornly remained white. Trowa raised an eyebrow in question.
"I don't know either, Trowa," Quatre said in awe as he looked around. Duo looked at Quatre like he was crazy.
"Q-man, Trowa didn't even move his lips. Are you telepathic or something?" Quatre laughed.
"No, Duo. I don't think I'm telepathic, but…. Well…… um….. I just…………. Uh…………. Err…….." Duo looks at Trowa then Quatre then Heero and back to Trowa and finally back to Quatre.
A girl with silver hair appeared immediately to Heero's left. Heero whirled around, aimed a gun at her head, and said, "Omae o korosu."
The girl just looked at him and smiled. Duo whirled around at the sound of Heero's voice, pulling a deadly silver and black metal scythe from the white around him.
"Who are you and why are you here?" Duo asked, raising his newly found scythe in emphasis. The girl's smile merely widened at his words.
"My name is Jewel and I'm here to instruct you on your mission," the girl said sweetly. Silence echoed in their ears.
The girl turned around and called, "Neko, bring Wufei, please."
The next second a cat girl appeared in front of Jewel carrying an unconscious Wufei.
"Thank you, Neko," Jewel said, her voice dripped with honey.
"Ur velkone," was the muffled reply. Neko carefully placed Wufei down on the white floor. Jewel turned back to the group of shocked boys.
"When Wufei wakes up, I will begin your briefing," Jewel said in calming tones that reassured the panicking guys.
Neko smiled an evil smile. Jewel turned around to shake her finger an inch away from Neko's nose, who snapped her jaws at Jewel's elegant finger. Jewel walked over to Neko's side and stroked her mane. Neko growled half-heartedly at Jewel's approach, but purred appreciatively at Jewel's hand. Quatre approached Jewel from the side away from Neko and Neko attempted to growl and look fierce through Jewel's petting. Jewel snickered at the face Neko made.
"Um, Jewel?" Quatre hesitantly asked. Jewel smiled warmly and replied, "Yes? Your about to ask me what the mission is, why this whole 'room' is white, what I have to do with the mission, and why all five of the gundam pilots have been assigned this mission. The answer to those questions is very simple; in fact I've already told you the answer before: I'll tell you when Wufei wakes up." Jewel's smile grew slightly strained.
"Ok," Quatre backed up until he bumped into Trowa, who made no sound, but Quatre turned around and apologized. Duo had been watching the whole scene.
"So, when will he wake up?" Jewel smiled.
"It will be soon. Don't worry. He's fine, just unconscious," Jewel turned to look at Trowa and her smile widened. The three remaining boys looked between the silver-haired vixen and the long-banged pilot. Jewel laughed softly. "I'm glad," Jewel left the statement hanging in the air.
"Glad of what? Nobody said anything. What could you be glad about? I mean…….." Duo started to ramble.
"Duo?" Duo stopped to stare at Heero.
"Yes?"
"Shut up." Duo looked put out.
"That's it? That's all you have to say for this freaky mission? 'Shut up' is the only thing you stopped me to say? Not even 'Shut up, Duo' or even 'Omae o korosu,' but 'shut up.' Nothing else, but-" Then Duo was unconscious and slung over Heero's shoulder like a sack of potatoes in 2.12 seconds.
Jewel sighed and shook her head. "Hush!" Neko hissed at the group around Heero.
"Wha-" Quatre started, but Trowa covered his mouth, so Quatre could only mumble.
"He's waking up." Neko looked down at the stirring figure of Wufei.
Wufei heard voices. That was not a good sign. They were talking in normal voices and they sounded familiar. One sounded like Duo and he was standing far away. Another one that sounded like Heero was close to the Duo's. A voice similar to Quatre's stood opposite to Duo's and if Quatre is there then so is Trowa. A beautiful feminine voice was standing near Heero. He felt warm breath on his face.
It smelled like fish.
A flicker of recognition flashed through his mind, but was too quick and Wufei lost the image. The sound of something hard hitting something that squeaked like Maxwell alarmed Wufei of possible violence. Wait, if Yuy is there then Maxwell is most likely hanging off Yuy's shoulder, unconscious. Maxwell is fine then and I don't need to worry.
Since when do I worry about Maxwell anyway?
I might as well attempt to wake up.
Wufei opens his eyes to see two huge cat-eyes staring back. The image of a huge purple and green lion pouncing on his chest forcing the breath out of his chest and him blacking out popped into his mind. Wufei jumped up and reached for his katana, only to find he didn't have it with him; the cat did. The cat grinned up at Wufei.
"Wufei, we're over here," a voice that sounded like Quatre's startled him from behind. Wufei backed up, so he wouldn't lose sight of the huge grinning lion-girl but also see Quatre, Trowa, Heero with Duo unconscious over his shoulder, and a gorgeous silver-braided girl that seemed familiar as well. The girl smiled serenely at Wufei and he turned his head to get a better look at her. The incredibly long, silver braid stirred memories, but they remained firmly buried. The girl's smile turned sad and she turned to look in a different direction.
Wufei was about to go ask her what her problem was when Quatre yelled, "Watch out, Wufei!" Wufei spun around just in time to see a purple and green lion-girl flying straight at him and bowling him over.
Quatre had watched Wufei turn to look at Jewel, but something caught his eye. Neko was running at Wufei. All he could do was yell 'Watch out, Wufei!' when the cat hit Wufei full in the chest. Wufei hit the floor, Neko on top of him as Jewel called to someone unknown.
"Oden! Oden! Where are you? Get over here right now!" Suddenly in a flash of silver light, there stood a boy a few inches taller than Jewel. The boy's black hair stood out starkly in the white background. He wore lose-fitting black jeans and a pure white shirt that almost completely blended into the background.
"Yes, sister dearest?" Oden asked seemingly reverent and serious.
"Oh, quit it. I don't need you going around calling me 'sister dearest' or 'sugarplum' or whatever the other silly, sickly sweet names you've been tossing around as of late. Hm… what color, eh?"
"Blue," Oden said. Poof! the whole 'room' was filled with blue.
"A little over done I think," Jewel stated, looking around.
"Then what color or colors do you propose?" Jewel looked around.
"How about green and yellow?" The moment the color words left her lips the 'sky' turned yellow and the 'floor' turned green.
"Oh, real nice. A yellow sky is so cool," Oden said, sarcasm dripping like honey from his voice.
"Would you prefer red and gray?" The ground turned blood red and the sky morphed into gray.
"Yuck. It looks like an overcast day. What about blue and purple?" The floor was suddenly purple and the ceiling was a deep blue.
"Oh, enough with the colors! We need to get started on the mission. We've been playing around too much already." Duo chose to moan at that point. He was waking up.
Two unfamiliar voices were arguing. Duo Maxwell was trying to figure out where he was and why. Then he remembered a gundanium-like fist connecting with his stomach and black surrounding him. His stomach was sore. It hurt even more than the last time Heero punched him so hard that he passed out on L3. Great, so Heero punched him and now he was hanging off Heero's shoulder like a passed-out drunk. He was going to plan something evil to do to Heero once they finished this mission.
"The mission!" Duo blurted out as he slid off Heero's shoulder to land on the 'floor,' hard. "Ow…." Duo grunted after he hit the floor with a 'SMACK!' Quatre tsked. Trowa was looking around at the red sky and gray floor.
"Hey, when did we go to the colored room?" Duo asked, looking up at his fellow gundam pilots.
"We didn't go anywhere. It came to us," Quatre argued, a bit miffed. Wufei woke up a few seconds later and the briefing began.
Hope you liked chapter 1! I should have the next one up soon. .
