((Hi! The name's Dezi-chan! This is my first story here at Fanfiction.net so I hope you enjoy!!!))



Ch. 1 Surprise!!!



Heero stood over the freshly dead body. The mangled corpse twitched a couple of times before finally staying still. The dark-haired boy searched his victim's tattered Oz uniform for anything useful. Nothing. With a dissatisfied grunt, he began to make his way back to Wing. The Gundam was in need of some repairs before he could pilot it into another suicide mission. Armed with only his knife, Heero decided to take the short cut, cutting right through Oz officials. He cursed himself for not keeping the Oz uniform of his latest casualty in better condition so that he could have worn it and saved time, but there was no time for training to correct himself, so he made a mental note and continued on his way.

The emerald scenery seemed peaceful and the breeze carried a piney scent. Heero slowed his steps, deciding to save energy, after all, there were no Oz soldiers around. Well, none that triggered his acute senses, anyways. Birds were chirping loudly and nothing seemed to disturb the peace here.

"This would be an exceptional spot for training," he murmured lightly to himself. If only Oz soldiers weren't patrolling the area, I could come here and finally get my work done. He shifted his backpack slightly on his shoulder, feeling the slight jab of his laptop hit his side. Chocolate bangs jutted over his ever-watchful, Prussian blue eyes as he took in the scenery and jotted the coordinates down in his mental computer. Although the enemy was guarding the serene environment, Heero knew that they would be gone soon. The only reason they even bothered to look this far was to search for Gundams right after he, or another pilot, did something during a mission to catch their attention. Although it was a simple task, what with their radar detectors, they still took an unnecessary amount of time. It usually took them a week to clear the area on foot when they could have an MD scout it and take half that time. They probably don't want to stir anyone's curiosity. Heero thought of the few, humble citizens in that area. They would surely see the MD's and get inquisitive. This would cause unnecessary casualties.

Heero stopped, a lake blocking his path. He was about to jump in, but remembered that his lap top had valuable information and could get ruined with the excessive water. There was a waterproof container he could put it in as he swam across, but he decided not to take the chance that it would leak. The information it held was the blueprints for the newest Mobile Doll and it would give the Gundam pilots a large advantage if they could prepare and upgrade their Gundams before the new line was released…if they were released. Duo was going down there in a week, two days before the MD's are shipped out, to plant bombs in the hanger.

He began scavenging the area with his hawk-like eyes for something to help it stay afloat. Finally, he decided to jump in and carry it over his head. The lake didn't look that deep, but he put the precious laptop in the air- tight bag anyways.

At Heero's first step, the water seemed to pierce his legs with a hundred ice daggers. Without even a change of expression, Heero shut off the nerve endings in his body and went numb. His heart rate lowered and he began to hold his breath. That is when the birds stopped chirping. He could hear footsteps and voices not too far away. Immediately, he hugged the laptop to his chest and swam under the lake. Two hundred yards to go, Yuy. If your swimming skills are still satisfactory, you should emerge about ten yards from a passable hiding area.

The tell-tale ripple from his body as he emerged was the only thing he left behind for the Oz soldiers to find as he slipped behind some shrubbery and found Wing. The proud Gundam was craftily hidden in a ravine behind a heavy blanket of greenery. Heero hopped inside the cockpit and began typing in the codes for Wing Zero to start. The low, almost silent engine started up and Heero began piloting him home. Well…to the safe house, that is.

When he got there, Quatre was waiting for him with a large smile and a glass of orange juice. "Heero, you're back. How did the mission go?"

"Hn," was Heero's only reply as he passed the blonde pilot and headed upstairs.

Quatre sweat dropped and sighed, "I guess I better tell him later."

Wufei took the glass from his hand and gulped it down appreciatively as he made his way to the couch with a book in his hand. "So Heero completed the mission successfully?" He stated it more than asking as he nudged his thin reading glasses higher on his nose and began reading.

"Yes. I believe he has. But I haven't told him about…"

"He'll find out sooner or later. Just give it time," Wufei chuckled, his eyes not leaving the page.

"I don't think he'll be too happy about this," Quatre sighed as he bit his lip and turned to go make repairs on Sandrock.

"I know. That is why I want to be there when he does." He removed a prepared camera from his pocket and placed it on the table before licking his index finger to turn the page.

Heero placed the wet bag on top of his bed. He still hadn't taken the laptop out of the bag since the swim and decided to check for damage. He opened it carefully and placed the laptop in its place on the table by his bed. The bag proved to be useful. The laptop was bone dry and the information was safe. Satisfied, he folded the bag up and put it in his back pack for future use.

The stoic pilot peeled off his usual green tank top, revealing chiseled muscles and jagged war scars. His strong arm reached out to grab his towel off the top shelf and he headed to the bathroom to take a shower. When he opened the door, he was welcomed by the strong smell of Duo's bubble bath and the sight of long chestnut tresses peeking from behind the curtain. Duo no baka! He always takes an unearthly amount of time in the bathroom. With a growl, Heero grabbed the toothpaste and began putting his usual exact amount on his toothbrush. Splishy splashy sounds and a rubber ducky could be heard inside the bathtub "Duo. Hurry. Lengthy baths do not improve a pilot's experience level or train him for a mission."

The splishy splashy sounds stopped and there was no noise coming from the other side of the opaque curtain. Two fingers pulled the curtain back a little and revealed an Amethyst eye peering out at Heero. The eye widened and a whole face slowly appeared. This was definitely not Duo.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!" A high pitched, female voice shook the safe house.

Heero dropped his toothbrush and only then did he find the female undergarments strewn on the floor.

Duo burst through the door and almost knocked Heero down. "What happened? Desiree! What's wrong?"

The frightened girl pointed at the momentarily stunned pilot and tried to hide behind the curtain as much as she could until even her blushing cheeks couldn't be seen.

"Huh?" Duo's eyes grew equally wide as he followed her point. "Oh…Desiree. That's just Heero. I told you about him. He's the one that sneaks up on me all the time."

"I don't care, Duo. I just want you to get him out!"

"Uhm…ok." Duo turned to Heero, but the pilot was already gone. Downstairs you could hear Quatre whimpering as Heero threatened 'to kill everyone on Earth and the colonies if someone didn't start explaining' type of thing. A few flashes flickered from the staircase as Wufei took full advantage of the amusing moment.

Duo precariously descended the staircase halfway as Heero's threats began to grow louder. "Uhm…Heero?"

Heero turned to meet Duo, "What!"

Duo winced and gulped as he made his way down the rest of the staircase and approached Heero cautiously. "I think I can explain the situation…you see…uhm…"

"Hurry it up, Maxwell."

"She's my cousin."

"Nani?"

"Desiree is my cousin. I saw her today when I went to pick up supplies. She didn't have a place to stay. Oz burned down her home. Luckily, she and Tobi found me and…"

"Tobi? You mean there is another one?"

"Not exactly, Hee-man," Duo bit his lip nervously as Trowa walked into the living room with a ferret on his shoulder, feeding it a cracker. His solitary emerald eye widened as he saw Heero sporting his patented glare-o- death. Even Tobi stopped eating his cracker and flew off Trowa, taking his hiding place under the couch.

"The animal knows better." Wufei grinned.

"Tobi is NOT just an animal! You better not be teasing him either!" A strong voice carried from the staircase. A long, chestnut braid hung down as the girl, Desiree, gave an equally frightening glare at the pilots.

Tobi poked his head from underneath the couch, his ears perked, and in a blur was at Desiree's side, climbing up her black pants to get to her shoulder. "AWWWW!!!" Desiree squealed with delight, "Where's my wittle Toooooobbbbiiiiiiii?" She pampered the happy ferret as he snuggled closer to her. His little gold tag jingled as she scratched behind his ear.

Just then, the familiar click of a gun was heard. Heero stood in the middle of the living room, gun aimed, cocked, and finger on the trigger. He kept his aim on Desiree as his finger tightened just a little. No one dared to move.

Desiree stopped petting Tobi and the curious ferret looked up. At the sight of this strange person trying to hurt his master, Tobi bore his teeth and claws and he began to snarl.

Heero sneered and growled, "Omae o korosu!"

Tobi leapt at Heero, teeth and claws snapping and clawing at the enemy.

A gunshot shook the house.
