Violet - Part One of "The Evils of the Rainbow"
By: Umi Sakura
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Gundam Wing characters. Don't sue or all you get is a bunch of dirty socks and a whole lot of dust bunnies.
Author's Notes: This is a continuation to the "And Then Evil Prevailed" chapters. I changed the name because this is sort of like a different story, even though it has all the same characters and some more of the Gundam characters in it. Let's just say this is the second book if "And Then Evil Prevailed" was the first book, only this might not have a third. I don't know yet. Enjoy. Please comment on anything and everything you want to. (Sorry it took so long. Writer's block is a KILLER.)
Heero looked around the street he was now walking on. He was carrying Duo on his shoulders; he had passed out from drinking too much. Heero sighed and lifted Duo up higher on his shoulders. The party had gotten out of hand when somebody (a VERY drunk Wufei) had suggested singing old show tunes for fun and everyone started to sing at the same time. It had given the sober people a VERY big headache. Heero signed again when a light blue mustang convertible drove up next to them. The top was down and Heero could see it was Nikki. In the back seat was Quatre and Trowa passed out in each other's arms.
"Wanna lift Heero?" Nikki said full of life. She was somewhat drunk herself.
"Yes but I'm driving. You're drunk." Heero placed Duo in the back seat while Nikki slide over and let Heero take the drivers seat. "I can't believe you were driving in your condition Nicole."
"Don't call me that. What else was I supposed to do? You had left and you're the only one I let drive my car." She said looking out the front window and using her left hand to put her hair behind her ears. Heero then noticed the ring on her left middle finger.
"Nice ring. Who gave it to you?" Heero asked noticing it looked like the ring Trowa gave Zoe for her 18th birthday. "It's pretty."
"Thanks. Trowa gave it to me. He really does love me. It's sad. Quatre and him are made for each other yet he still wants to be with me. I almost feel sorry for him. You know he thinks he killed someone? But the girl he told me he killed doesn't exist. It's the strangest thing. No wonder he's so quiet." Nikki said never looking at Heero or Trowa.
"Don't worry." Heero said and Nikki looked at him. "She didn't die. She was only hurt badly. Trowa has this thing against her but she's okay now and is okay with what he did."
"What did he do?" Nikki asked looking back at the road.
"They were fighting and he attacked her. That was all. She's fine now." Heero said in his normal monotone. Heero thought about when it happened, and he missed the time when Zoe was still alive.
"Who was she?" Nikki asked once again glancing at Heero.
"…" Heero had to think about this. "She's an old friend. Me and her go way back."
"Did you two date?" Heero could hear Duo snoring.
"Once. Things just didn't work out like we thought they would." Heero glanced at Nikki then back at the road so he wouldn't run into someone. "It doesn't matter anyway. I'm with Duo now."
Heero drove into a driveway. There were two mailboxes out front. One marked Peacecraft the other marked Parks. Nikki got out of the car and woke Trowa up. After some nudging Trowa woke up and carried Quatre and himself into the house. The house itself was a two family with Nikki on the first floor and a blonde man on the second. Heero carried Duo in and Nikki wasn't far behind. There were three bedrooms and each was occupied in seconds. Nikki took her room while Heero and Duo took the spare room and Trowa and Quatre took Nikki's roommates room (there was no roommate yet but the room was there until she could find one.)
As the occupants of the house slept two figures slowly crept into the house undetected by the members of the house. They slowly walked in threw the house and to Heero and Duo's bedroom.
"So what are we supposed to do now, Noin?" Hilde asked her older companion.
She held out a small ball. "We bring them back to Treize like we were told to do." The one called Noin said and they both smiled. "Do you want to or shall I?"
Hilde's smile grew. "Oh! I want to!" Hilde said grabbing the small ball from Noin. She moved the top of the ball as if it was two pieces and in a split second Heero and Duo were sucked into the ball. "Can I do it to the others too?" Hilde was like a hyper kid in a candy shop.
"Fine but then we have to go back to watching Miss Relena upstairs." Noin answered smiling at the hyper young girl. They quickly went into Trowa and Quatre's room and sucked them into the ball.
They were about to go back upstairs when they stopped outside of Nikki's room. "What do we do about her?" Hilde asked staring at the door. "Does she go into the ball too?" She smiled happily.
"No. We don't do anything to her. She'll come on her own time." Noin said coldly and left even before Hilde could compute what she had just said.
Upstairs Milliardo and Relena were watching TV and eating microwave dinners. Milliardo was wearing this odd white mask and would only answer to Zechs. Relena was getting fed up with it.
"Take that incredibly STUPID mask off this instant Milliardo!" Relena almost yelled.
"I can't. I don't deserve to have my face shown in pubic." Zechs said sadly. "And it's not Milliardo! It's Zechs now! I don't deserve my name either." There was a knock on the door that interrupted Zechs' speech. Relena stood to answer it.
"You're impossible Milliardo." She sighed.
"Zechs!" he yelled and Relena opened the door to find Dorothy, Relena's classmate.
"What are you doing here Dorothy? I didn't know you knew Milliardo?" Relena said to the obviously (well to everyone but Relena) confused Dorothy. She had no idea that Relena had gone to see Milliardo that night, Noin had never told her. Dorothy looked over to Zechs who, unlike his younger sister knew why she was there. He stood up and walked over to the door.
"Lovely helmet." Dorothy said with a slight laugh.
"What does he want now?" Zechs asked coldly.
"He's let the rainbow loose from it's chains and has sent it out on the angels of the last battle. He wishes that you'd join him. We will watch your sister like we have in the past." Dorothy said once she stopped staring at Relena.
"Are you sure that he wants YOU to watch her?" he joked.
"That's not funny, Zechs." Dorothy shot back at the rash man. "She can come too you know. There are a few of us that like her." She smiled evilly.
"She can stay here with you. Is there anyone else here?" Zechs glared at Dorothy.
"Noin and Hilde are waiting outside. You might want to hurry up. They hate waiting, though you would know that already knowing your history with Noin." She said as he left. She turned to the truly confused Relena. "Looks like it's just you and me now." She smiled thinking of the fun she was going to have with the frail stupid young girl. All the time Nikki slept like a baby.
