-1I do not own Gundam Wing or its characters...
I got a review about the pace of the story thus far. I'll try to slow down from now on and what a place for me to slow it down. I hope more feeling can be seen in this one… so on with the show!

"Are you okay?" A female voice asked when he ran into the camp huffing from air loss. Her hair was long and blue pulled back into two ponytails that was sure to drag on the ground if let down. She wore black leather pants and coat. A red shirt could be found underneath that red 'your future is doomed.' Her eyes were a bright emerald green that seemed to glow ever though her back was to the fire.
"Do you need help?" Another girl asked. Her hair was long and far darker then the wings of a raven. It was pulled back into a thick braid that almost reached her ankles. Her eyes were black and seemed to shine with held back mischief. She wore a similar garb as the first girl. Only her shirt was blue and gold reading 'YAOI RULES!'.
"Anu. Would you get him some water. I'm going to check the one we picked up earlier." The first girl smiled and turned to the wagon.
"You got it Toola." Anu nodded and helped Duo to sit by the fire and offered him some water.
"You picked some one up?" Duo was about to rush to the wagon but Anu held him down.
"Yes. He was wounded and about to pass out." Anu said as she watched the boy by the fire.
"Was it a wound in the side?" Duo's eyes filled with hope.
"He'll be fine. We used some herbs to speed his recovery." Anu. Smiled at him. "Come you look like you need to rest." She smiled at him and led him to the wagon. Duo climbed in and crawled across the soft bedding spread out on floor.
A soft "Hn" could be heard to his right.
Duo held his candle higher and the soft light fell on the features of someone Duo was longing to see. "Heero!" He blew out his candle and wrapped himself around Heero's arm. He was not letting him go even in his sleep.
"Duo?" He awoke the next morning to the soft wispier of his name. "am I seeing things?" Heero asked pulling Duo closer to him and running his fingers through the hair that had fallen loose from Duo's braid.
"No. I'm here Heero." Duo said trying to hold back his tears. "Never do that again!" A soft giggling came from behind him. Duo looked back over his shoulder to see the two girls from the night before watching them.
"Breakfast!" Toola jumped and vanished taking a basket with her. Anu stood there for a minuet before her eyes got big.
"Food!" she cooed but stopped in her tracks turning back to Duo. "I'll catch more eye candy later!" She winked and ran after Toola.
"Who are they?" Heero asked sitting up with not pain.
"What is it Heero?" Duo asked as he watched Heero pull up his shirt and pull off his bandage to reveal smooth undamaged skin. "Your healed!" Duo said running a hand along the spot that was a bullet hole the night before.
They stepped out of the wagon to the smell of bacon and sausage as Wufei, Trowa, and Quatre approached the camp.
"Anu. Toola?" Duo called looking around but the girls where no where to be found.
"Duo! Heero!" Quatre ran up and hugged Duo as the others set their packs down.
"You look better" Wufei said eyeing the bandage in Heero's hand.
"Heero's healed!" Duo smiled "But we seem to have lost the girls…" Duo said looking around again.
"Dear Eye Candy," Every one's head turned to see Trowa reading a paper that was left next to the fire by five plates. "Enjoy the food and wagon. We'll be seeing you again so keep your eyes open. Signed 'Gods of Time(1)."
"They took off on us!" Duo said as the others helped themselves to the food the girls had left behind.
"Toola and Anu you say?" Wufei said looking up at Duo and Heero. "No one finds that odd?" The others just looked at him not sure what he was getting at. "Mythology? Gods of Time?" He was getting a little frustrated now. "Anu is short for Ambos! A God that takes souls to the underworld. Toola is one of the Fates. The Fate of the Future! Does it not bother anyone that two Goddess of time and death have shown themselves to us?"
"You think to much Wu-man." Duo grinned and helped himself to more food.
"We're doomed" Wufei growled and stormed off to get the wagon ready for travel.
(1) Gods of Time is another pen name here at fan fiction where you can find stories I have co-written with Gami1x2 and I can tell you now they are better then the one's I do alone. Go check it out! It's worth it!
Toola and Anu are not real. They are my character from my twist on religion. I took Gods from many different religions and based them off my friends. Ambos just happened to keep the name of the god she is a twist off of.
