An Irish Waltz

Chapter 1: Rediscovery

" Are you sure this is the place Wu?"

"Of course I am. My sources are never wrong, you should have realized that by now."

"Really? You mean like that one time at the warehouse . . ."

"Just stop it. We just need to get this over with." Quatre then proceeded to knock on the door.

* * *

A girl no older than any of the men outside peered through the peep hole. She slowly undid the five locks and opened the door.

"May I help you?" She inquired politely. Duo timidly stepped in front of the others as he was their self-appointed speacker. "Is Heero Yuy here?"

"No, who's asking?"

"Duo Maxwell is asking. And now I have given you my name, you have to give us yours."

"Rowan. I'll let him know you stopped by," with this Rowan shut the door in the faces of four of the most dangerous men in the universe. She quickly put most of the locks back in place, she knew that Heero would be upset with her for just talking to those gentlemen.

That evening when Heero entered the house.

"Rowan?" he called softly. The house looked amost dead to him. All of the lights ahd been dimmed and everything was seemingly missing. Heero pulled his gun from his space pocket (A/N: space pocket because that's where I figure he must keep it since whenever you see him in the shows one minute he doesn't appear armed at all and the next he has his gun out and is shooting) and continued warily into the bedroom. The sight before him almost made him drop his gun. He quickly set his gun aside and hurried over to Rowan's huddled form.

"Rowan?" Heero knelt down beside the lithe form. He could just make out the tiny tremors that were shaking her body. She looked up at him and single silver christaline drop fell from her eyes.

"Rowan, what's wrong?" Heero asked gently.

"I'm . . . so . . . sorry."

"Rowan calm down. You're hyperventilating." Rowan made a consious effort and managed to slow her breathing. Tears started to flow down her cheeks like a never-ending waterfall.

"I'm so sorry. I know you said to never ever open the door for anyone but you . . . I just don't know why I did it."

"What did you do,Rowan?" Heero was getting worried because of the way Rowan was acting, what she was saying did not sound good at all.

* * *

"Darn it, Wufei! Why did you have to do that?"

"Beacause, Duo. We're looking for Heero. She very well could have been lying. I had to do it. She's just a weak onna."

"But that's the thing. she's not weak. She almost knocked you out! Why couldn't you have just believed her for now and have come back later? For all we know Heero's moved on with his life." Wufei just muttered intelligably under his breath at the braided pilot's lack of insight into his ways of thinking.

Quatre remained silent and continiued to drive. Trowa just shook his head and continued to read his book.

* * * The next morning. Dawn.

"Come on, Rowan."

Rowan walked silently and climbed into the car. 'At least she's back to normal' Heero thought. The penetration into Rowan's past had been more than a little disconcerting to him. And he'd thought he'd had it bad as a child.
