A Rough Life To Live

The Demon and The Silent Death Angel

WARNING: Alcohol, Swearing and Poverty involved.

"C'mon. You guys must be tired, git in 'ere 'nd rest. I'll git ya summin' to drink." She then walked into the other room.

"What did I say?" Asked Duo shrugging. "She's a hand full." Duo went to walk after her but was pulled back and almost lost his balance by someone grabbing his caller. Once Duo regained his balance we turned to the other Gundam Pilots who seemed to have a mixture of feelings; anger, confusion, uneasiness, guilt(Quatre and Wufei) and curiosity. Duo looked at them all taking in all the emotions. Heero was the first one to start the conversation.

"When you said 'a friend can help us' we didn't expect you to mean a girl!" Said Heero unfolding his arms. Most of the others nodded.

Duo shrugged. "But didn't I say it was a SHE all along?" He asked not expecting an answer from any of them. He had said a few times it was girl, so why had they all expected a guy to be Duo's friend. True not many girls lived in this part of L2, apart from Emy the only girls/women who lived around here were either prostitutes, whores or just drunk 24/7.

"I know this may sound sexist," Wufei started, "but how can she help us? She's just a girl." Heero nodded in agreement with Wufei. Quatre just stood quietly examining his surroundings and Trowa. Well... Trowa was just being Trowa.

"Can we please discus this later?" Asked Duo clapping his hands together begging, as if he was praying. All the other pilots looked at each other in agreement and then turned back to Duo.

"Alright." Said Heero. "We'll talk about this later." Duo sighed a little and lowered his arms before turning and walking into the other room with the others hot on his heal. They walked into the room and looked at the room.

It was a cream room with a small wooden table in the middle of the room that could hold about eight people on it, unfortunately there was only six chairs there. Lucky there were only six of them there. There was a small window to the right of the table with a blood red curtain hung across it, to stop people from seeing in. The colour really classed with the cream coloured walls. On the table was a small vase with a small daisy in it. Next to the small flower was a black laptop. All the boys could tell it was an Extensa 5220. None of them even realised that was still around these days, it was a very old laptop. There was a lead hanging from it falling to the floor and running to the opposite wall were there was a plug. Directly opposite the boys was an archway in what lead to a black and white tiled floored room. Most of them guessed it was the kitchen. There where also a few more doors on the wall to their left that led to a different part of the building. They all sat down around the table Duo and Heero on the end next to the window. Quatre and Trowa on the side of the door they had just come through. And Wufei sat with his back to the kitchen, opposite Trowa.

Emy walked back into the room with five beers in her hands. She gave one to each one of the boys. Now she was standing behind Trowa and Quatre. Duo took his and had a big mouth full of it. Heero took a swig of his before placing his back down on the table and folding his arms. Trowa just left his on the table, not needing it right now. Wufei took a small swig of his drink and lowered it, keeping his attention discreetly on Emy. Quatre never was one for alcohol. He took a hold of the of the bottle and brought it to his lips. As the liquid poor out of the bottle and in to Quatre's mouth and down his throat, he cringed at the bubbly liquid in disgust. He placed the drink down quickly trying to get his attention off the taste that still lingered in his mouth. Two hands rested on Quatre's shoulders as a female giggle was heard. Quatre turned his head to see Emy smiling at him sweetly.

"Not one for alcohol are ya?" She asked him sweetly. She patted him on the back before speaking again. "Want a cup of tea or coffee?" She asked. Quatre looked up at her, trying to read her. She was kind, caring but there was something about her that gave her an almost bad girl type attitude. Whether it was her accent or just he use of bad language, he couldn't tell. He nodded at her.

"Thanks." He said smiling at her.

"Why have you got alcohol anyway Emy?" Asked Duo curiously. He knew that she didn't drink. She turned to Duo.

"Solo came over the other day." She said. "The dumb bastard. Still can't fight ta save 'is life." She released Quatre and walked back into the kitchen. Duo looked at her laptop and then turned his head to the kitchen.

"Yo Emy." He called. "Can we use your laptop?"

"Sure thin'!" She called back. Duo turned the laptop around to face him. He flipped the screen up and turned the laptop on. It took a few minutes to start. As soon as it came up Duo started to type and a few pages kept popping up and down. Heero leaned into Duo and watched him type everything in. Heero noticed that Emy's background on the laptop wasn't a picture but certain words. The Demon and The Silent Death Angel.

After a while Duo popped up a page with a map of L2. There where five red dots on certain parts of the map. Duo turned the laptop around to face the others. Everyone's attention was turned to the screen.

"See the five dots?" He asked. "That's the five bases we have to attack." All the boys nodded. Emy then walked back into the room with two mugs with steam coming out of them. Duo turned the laptop around and closed all the pages on their mission. She handed a mug to Quatre who nodded in thank you and then she went and sat in the empty seat between Duo and Wufei. Heero frowned at her for a while. Emy noticed Heero's frown while the others made idle chit-chat. Everything soon quieted down. Heero caught Emy's attention again.

"Why does your lap top have the words The Demon and The Silent Death Angel!?" He asked folding his arms and resting them on the edge of the table. Everyone's attention was turned to her. All of them had heard about them.

The Demon and The Silent Death Angel, where rebels that lived on L2. Many people knew about them. Even people on earth did. The Demon was ment to be a guy that got all of his companions killed. He had a luck that was only his, he had supposedly cheated death many times. The Silent Death Angel was ment to be a young girl. The name was given to her because of three features that she showed no matter where she went. Silent, because no one had ever heard her coming. She was so quiet that not even the animals could have heard her. Death, because like Demon, she had a luck that was only hers and the reason only she worked with Demon and no one else. Angel... Well, she had a soft spot for children. Many orphans lived in L2, and she'd protect any orphan that needed it. They were partners in crime, sometimes known as The Devil's Twins. No one knew who they were, and no one really wanted to know them... Well apart from Oz and the police.

Emy just smiled and shrugged. "Wha' can I say?" She said and took a sip of her tea. She looked Heero in the eye. "'M a fan!" No one had ever looked Heero in the eye, apart from the other pilot, and not tremble or shudder. He glared at her harder, trying to get her to back down, but she wasn't.

Quatre looked back and forth from Heero and Emy, confused. Not by their small contest on who could back down last, but by their discussion. Quatre had heard about the Demon and Silent Death Angel, but didn't know much about them. Quatre leaned in to Trowa.

"What's so important about these two that has gotten those to in..." Quatre didn't know what to call the battle between Emy and Heero. Neither were backing down. "...Predicament?" Trowa leaned in to Quatre and said quietly.

"The Demon and Angel have been known to L2 for about seven years." He paused and watched as Duo sat between Heero and Emy looking very awkward.

"The two have been rebels for a long time. They use to fight soldiers all the time, steel and sneak around to try and help in the war." He paused. "Almost two years ago they dissapeared, without a trace." Wufei turned to them as they moved apart a little.

"Many people believe their dead." Wufei explained. "Some say they left the colony, and some people say-"

"Some people think their undercover and infiltrate bases and send information to the Gundams." Duo said before taking a swig of his drink. Emy's gaze broke away from Heero's as Duo said Gundams. She looked at Duo innocently and watched what he did. Heero stopped glaring at her and his attention turned to Duo as well.

"Didn't ya help wit' a Gundam?" She asked so innocently she made Quatre look evil. Quatre's eyes widened and he held his breath. Wufei looked at his in confusion. How could she have known that? He thought. Trowa was shocked but kept his mask up as to not show his emotions. Heero just looked at her trying to read the girl like Quatre had done earlier, but only came to the same result.

"Yeah. I did!" he said and leaned back on the chair. Her innocent look dissapeared and she smiled at him. She leaned over the table towards him.

"Dat's awesome Duo!" She exclaimed. Her smiled widened. "The Gundams are so awesome!" All the pilots felt happy. At least they had one less enemy than they thought. Her smile and cheery personality made them all feel better about themselves and their doubts about her started to fade.

"The way they jus' came from no where 'nd started ta stand up for wha' they believe in." She explained punching fists in the air. If the pilots hadn't already been told, they would have mistaken her for Duo's sister. "Their like my Heroes. The way their not afraid of anythin'. 'Nd the way their so brave." She paused. She placed one elbow on the table and rested her head in that hand. "I'd give anythin' ta meet jus' one of 'em." The boys looked at each other and gave small smiles that only lasted a few seconds.

"Yeah, we've all met them actually." Said Duo leaning back so only the back two legs of the chair was on the floor. All the boys glared at Duo, but hid the glares as Emy looked around at them.

"Really ya all met 'em?" She asked. "Lucky bugger's." She crossed her arms and leaned on the end of the table. She gave a fake pout, that Quatre thought was really cute.

"So your a fan of rebels?" Asked Trowa before taking a swig of his drink. She turned to him and gave a sweet smile than made her look innocent again.

"Hell yeah I am." She almost yelled. "At leas' those people can stand up for wha' they believe in." Duo looked over at the clock on the wall. It was almost one in the morning.

"Maybe we should get some sleep and catch up in the morning." Said Duo placing his chair back on two legs. He took a last swig of his beer as everyone agreed with him. Emy smiled caring at the Deathscythe pilot.

"C'mon then." She said and stood up. "I'll show ya where ya can sleep tanight."

It ended up with Duo in his old room from last time he was here. Trowa and Quatre shared a room on the other side of the building to Duo. Heero was in a room next to Duo. Across the stair case from Duo was Emy. And Wufei was two room away from Emy.

Trowa and Quatre sat on a bed each talking to each other.

"Trowa, do you think we can trust her?" Asked Quatre. It wasn't that he didn't trust Emy, it was just he was trying to strike up a conversation with Trowa. Trowa just looked at the younger boy.

"I guess we can trust her." He paused. "Duo seems to." Quatre sighed. He gave up trying to get a conversation out of Trowa and leaned back on the bed. Surprisingly the mattress was comfy. Quatre had expected it to be hard, lumpy and full of insects. Quatre placed his arms behind his head and closed his eyes to start a few hours of sleep. I wish you would talk to me, Quatre thought before drifting into sleep.

Trowa watched as the youngest pilot fell asleep. Trowa lied down on his bed, using his arms as an extra pillow. Trowa turned back to see Quatre's eyes closed and asleep. Trowa thought Quatre looked more innocent than usual when he slept. He gave a very small smile to the small pilot, before closing his eyes and falling asleep as well.

Okay the chapters over. I know it was a bit to talkative, but I had to get quite a bit of information to you for other chapters. And if any of you are wondering yes, The Demon and The Silent Death Angel do have a part to play later on in the stories.

Next chapter Emy's relationship with some of the Pilots are going to grow. If any of you can't quite picture what Emy looks like, I drew a picture of her and put it on Here's the link:
