Chapter One - The Mission/P
"Duo, Duo! Wake up!" Duo Maxwell mumbled a bit as a hand roughly shook him from very pleasant dreams of a certain partner of his. Smacking the hand away, Duo turned over and snuggled back down into the pillow, pulling the blankets closer to him as he tried to escape the dawning reality.
Suddenly, a great gust of wind came under the blanket as the object of his dreams, Heero Yuy, yanked it off him. Mumbling again, Duo sat up and launched a pillow at Heeros head, which the Perfect Soldier ducked with timed precision, for this very behavior was becoming a ritual for the two. Duo never liked being roused in the morning, even if it was by his koi.
"Duo! Wake up!" Heero grabbed Duo's shoulder again and began shaking it. Before he could react, Duo grabbed his arm and rolled over; dragging Heero with him into the bed again before Duo mumbled another curse and started to go back to sleep. By now, Heero was beginning to get annoyed, they had a mission and he still needed to brief Duo on it. Wrapping his free hand around the long braid that pilot 02 always wore, he pulled down with a gentle, yet firm, yank, and he received the intended reaction.
"AAAAHHHH!" Duo cried, grabbing his braid from Heero's grasp, which freed Heero's other arm. Smirking, Heero looked down at the pouting, violet-eyed boy lying beneath him. Kissing his forehead, Heero then climbed off the shocked pilot.
"We got a mission this morning, remember?" he said, "We're supposed to infiltrate Osaka Academy, a sister-school of Peacecraft's-" Heero sneered in distaste at the name "-we're supposed to keep an Oz spy away from Peacecraft-" he sneered again "-while she is inspecting the school. Now, since we don't know if the spy is a boy or a girl, one of us has to dress as a girl...and guess who that's going to be?" Duo gulped and pointed to himself, "Yup, and you look the part of a girl much better than I would."
"Yeah, you'd have to wear a wig," Duo sighed, sometimes having long hair was a curse, but then again, when Heero couldn't get enough of running his fingers through it, any humiliation was worth that. Duo hopped up off the bed and began to get dressed in the most feminine outfit he could find, which was left over from his previous mission. A pair of navy-blue slacks and a white, frilled blouse that was tucked into the pants. Add long brown hair, a touch of make-up, and stuffing, and Duo looked just like a girl. While he was getting ready, Heero was getting the mission update from Dr. J, and sat down on the bed, since there wasn't much else he could do with his appearance other than a pair of black slacks and a white dress-shirt, Heero read over the mission.
"We're to find the spy and either eliminate them, or keep them from reaching Peacecraft while she is inspecting the school," Heero told Duo as Duo fiddled with his hair a bit, "Apparently she knows we are coming, and she knows that you are going to be appearing as a girl. I am to go by the name Dustin Tyler and you are to go by the name Alison Weeks."
"Whoa...they gave us cool names this time," Duo smirked a bit as he looked in the mirror for the hundredth time, every time he looked he saw a pretty attractive-looking girl looking back out at him. The image disturbed him, but it was part of the mission, and that came over everything else.
"We're going to be staying on campus in dorms that have been reserved for us," Heero said, "I have a roommate named Ted Andrews, and you have none, since one slip and your true gender would be revealed and the mission would be a failure. We are to find the spy and keep them as far away from Peacecraft as we can, if that fails, then we are to kill them and eliminate any evidence that they were even in the school."
"Gotcha," Duo nodded, "When do we leave?"
"As soon as we can get you some more clothes," Heero smirked, "Quatre's coming over to help, since he has 29 sisters, he's bound to know a thing or two about making you look like a girl."
A few hours later, Duo and Heero stood in the office of the dean, entering the school as Alison and Dustin, exchange students from America. Duo really looked his part in the Osaka Academy girls' uniform, the maroon color really accenting his pale skin and a slight blush that was on his cheeks as he stood before the dean. Heero only looked at the dean indifferently, not caring what the old man had to say because as soon as he had his schedule and rulebook, he was out of that office.
Finally, the two students were dismissed and assigned their room numbers, classes, and lockers. Duo and Heero walked through the halls as the students rushed past for their various classes, all catching a glimpse of the two new students as they ran past, a few glances lingering on them. Duo heard chuckles and saw boys elbowing each other as he passed, and a few winked at him, this made him uncomfortable and fearful for their lives, Heero was very protective over his koibito and would never allow such obscene glances go unattended to. As if on cue, Heero locked several of the arrogant boys with a dead cold glare, making most of them shuffle their feet and look away from the mysterious boy and his beautiful accomplice.
At the intersection, they had to part ways, Duo going down towards the girls' dorms, and Heero walking towards the boys. Just before he turned to go his way, Duo felt Heero squeeze his hand lightly before he walked away, making the long-haired pilot smile.
"Miss Dorson!!" Duo's attention was turned away by a shrill cry of what was obviously a teacher, turning his violet eyes towards a very unusual scene.
There stood what appeared to be a fair-haired boy, his soft blonde hair falling down to his shoulders in waves. He had a willowy figure, and Duo almost confused him for a girl, since all he could see was the boys back. The teacher in front of the boy was lecturing him, probably on some rule that he had broken. As Duo passed, trying not to look at the boy's face, he heard the conversation.
"Why can't you wear the correct uniform?!" the teacher asked her student, "Especially on today of all days! Miss Relena Peacecraft-Darlian is coming to inspect the school! What will she say about this?! This is an abmonation!" The boy reached into the jacket of his uniform, placing his bag under his arm as he flipped open the Osaka Student Rulebook.
"There's no rule in here," came a feminene voice, "That says a girl can't wear a boy's uniform." It was then that Duo turned back and caught sight of the student's face.
The student was a girl! Duo's mouth dropped at how a girl could appear to be a boy, he had even thought that the girl was a boy when he walked up on the teacher. She was a pretty girl, too, her blonde hair pushed back away from a pair of bright, aquamarine eyes that matched his friend, Quatre's, exactly, except instead of a soft look, they had a cynical one. When he looked at the front of her uniform, Duo could definitely tell that her gender was female, though not overly obvious, at first glance, she appeared to be no more than a fair-faced boy, especially in the male uniform for the school. The girl closed her rulebook and smiled at the shocked teacher.
"So, if there's no rule, then I guess it's okay," she says, smiling again as she replaced the rulebook in her jacket pocket and, after slinging her bag over her shoulder, walked past the slack-jawed teacher, "And you'd best close your mouth, Ms. Alabaster, Miss Peacecraft-Darlian wouldn't like it if you were gawking at a female student."
"Are you ready?" Duo heard a very soft feminene voice come from the other side of the girl. Looking, he saw a very pretty Asian girl who was, Duo noted, in the proper uniform for an Osaka girl. The other girl turned to the Asian and smiled a smile that Duo had seen often, it was the same kind of smile that Heero gave him every morning, soft, kind, and loving.
"Sure," the girl smiled, holding out her arm to the Asian, who took it and smiled back at the tomboyish girl, "Let's get outta here, Ms. Alabaster is having a conniption fit." The Asian girl giggled a bit at the girl's remark.
"Well, if you would wear the proper uniform, she probably wouldn't give you any trouble," the Asian summed up, smiling up at the girl, "Also, boys might find you..." the girl's voice faded as the pair walked down the hall away from Duo, the chattering of the students in the hall drowning out the soft voice. Duo stood in the hall until he realized that he was staring after the girl. Shaking his head, he turned and started for his dorm.
"Yeah, Heero, she just totally told that teacher off," Duo told Heero later that afternoon over lunch, "She wears the boy's uniform for this school, instead of the girl's."
"Does that make you feel better about playing a girl?" Heero asked, his dark eyes staring straight into Duo's bright violet ones, making the boy gulp.
"Kinda, but they know she's a girl," Duo replied, then looked up and scanned the people out in the courtyard, also enjoying lunch, then he spotted the two girls flanked by others, both male and female, talking earnestly to them, "There she is, and she's with that Asian girl." Heero looked over to where Duo was nodding and raised his eyebrow at the girls, "I wonder who she is."
"That, I intend to find out," Heero said, "She may prove useful."
