Lady11Occult: actually it was about the same length as all of my other chapters. The last chapter might have been so good that you didn't notice.
Dark Devotions: chaos is such a wonderful thing and I think some people enjoy it more then they should while others care for it less then they should.
Calli Maxwell: I also feel sorry for the fictional characters. All this means is that we know one of our favorite G-boys is going to cause trouble.
Sutoomu: who would have thought that Heavyarms was a blond. I think that was genius on my part.
Karaeborg: I'd like to think so.
DeathsDragon: sorry dear but your senses are wrong. I believe that I already stated twice that I'm not doing a Yaoi. I also believe that I stated that I didn't plan on doing any pairings whatsoever.
Kracken l.w.: like I'd ever drop this story, I'm having too much fun with it, especially with what I do to Quatre in this chapter. Mwahahahaha!
I'm sooo excited for a few reasons today. I'm going to AX (AnimeExpo) this year and I just found out one of my favorite voice actors, Vic Mignogna, is going to be there! I can't wait for July to hit now. Now I really want to know, is anyone else going to go to AX this year? I'm just curious. I love being a volunteer there and I always have a ton of fun so if you guys can go then you should.
Another reason I'm really happy is that I just bought my ticket for a HIM (His Infernal Majesty) concert for next month. I get to go see HIM with my friends.
On to other news, the person I chose to be my beta reader for some reason decided not to send me back my chapter after I sent it to them, twice, so now I'm looking for one again. If you want to do it send me an e-mail or tell me in your reviews.
As always it is time to do the disclaimer. The only thing I own is the plot, no characters or rights of any kind. SOB
Chapter 10
Heero walked down one of the halls looking at the locker numbers. He was pretty close to finding his. He was glad he wasn't sharing a locker with Duo.
Heero found his locker, opened it, and threw his lunch in there, keeping his backpack with him.
Heero then pulled out his schedule from his pocket. He proceeded to walk the hallways finding all of his classes that were in this building. First hour he had Aquatic Biology. He already knew what he needed to for Biology and felt like taking something different. 'The class should be interesting.'
Heero's eyes looked over his schedule once more. First hour he had Aquatic Biology. Second was English, third was PE. Lunch followed after that then fourth hour he had mathematics. Fifth hour held history and sixth was a free period.
Heero shared PE with Duo and history with Wufei. There were no classes he shared with Trowa and Quatre. He didn't mind. All it meant was that he could share his death glare to the student body without someone interrupting him while doing it.
BRNG
Hearing the five minute warning bell, Heero made his way to his first class. The classroom was almost located at the very back of the main building, not that he cared.
The hallways became more chaotic as the student body as a whole tried to make their way to their first class all at the same time. The hallways were already packed but now it was more difficult to move in the direction that he needed to.
And he glared.
DUO
Duo was sitting back in his chair, only the back two legs of the chair were on the ground. Duo had the palms of both hands pressed to the back of his head with his fingers interlacing, feet on his desk, and eyes closed while listening to the teacher drone on and on about something he could care less about. In fact he couldn't even remember what class he was in.
Duo let his mind wonder, not even trying to listen to today's lecture about whatever it was. 'I wonder how my buddy is doin'. I wish that I wasn't here at school. School is so boring. I already know what they're trying to teach me, why do I have to suffer through all of this again?'
Duo cracked his eyes open. The teacher still didn't notice that she had lost him long ago, even if he was sitting in the back of the class.
Duo closed his eyes once more. 'I wonder when Heero will finally let me do a mission alone. It's not that I don't like spending time with the guys but I'm around them 24/7 and a guy can only take so much.'
Duo smirked. 'I wonder what the Gundams will think when they find out that I know that they know that I know they are alive. I better not be around Nataku when they find out or I'm gunna be out of commission for a longer time then before.'
Duo heard footsteps coming to his desk. 'So the teach has finally noticed eh?'
The footsteps stopped at his desk but before the teacher could say anything Duo said "Anything I can do for ya teach?" He didn't even bother to open his eyes.
A soft strangling sound came from the teacher's throat. Obviously she hadn't expected him to be awake and know that she was at the side of his desk. "Mr. Maxwell…"
"Duo please."
"Mr. Maxwell, I would greatly appreciate it if you would not lean back in your chair with your feet on the desk while looking like you have fallen asleep."
Duo cracked a single eye open but before he could respond to the teacher the bell rang, signaling that class was over.
The chair fell back upon its four legs as Duo swung his legs off the desk and he picked up his backpack that he hadn't bothered to unload at the beginning of class, or any other class really. "See ya tomorrow teach!" and with that he was out of the classroom.
The halls were jammed packed with students all trying to make it on time to their next class. Duo didn't mind at all, he liked having the background noise. For once he didn't have to make a sound to know life was going on around him, to know he was still alive.
He hated silence. Sure, it was required when he and the others were on missions using his stealth skills but usually there was noise going on around him during those times. He hated pure silence. That was when all his memories, his past, would come back to him full force. His memories of being with Solo and living on the streets, the memories of living in the orphanage with Father Maxwell and Sister Helen, the realizations that he took fathers, mothers, sons, daughters, loved ones from others when piloting. He would rather not deal with it if possible. That was why he loved noise. He knew he was still alive and that life was moving on whether he noticed it or not, whether he wanted it to or not. Time was steadily moving on, revealing his future one day at a time as it did for everyone else.
Duo never noticed the pair of eyes that followed him down the hall until he turned the corner, never knew those eyes belonged to a friend, and he never knew that those eyes cared for him more then he realized.
Those eyes belonged to Quatre.
Quatre had caught sight of Duo as he was moving towards his third hour class, band. The band room was in a different building, the building with the auditorium, the building that had the concrete stage that they would meet up at after this class.
Quatre left the main building and made his way towards the band room. He was looking forward to this class, he shared it with Trowa.
Quatre soon entered the building and was walking down the halls. There were only three hallways and they made a U shape. The outside walls were where the classrooms were located while the inside wall held that auditorium.
As Quatre was walking down one of the halls he noticed some old lockers that didn't look like they were in use any longer. Not thinking anything about it he never noticed a pair of eyes from one of the lockers waiting for him to get closer. A smile was formed on this unknown person's lips and the evil gleam in their eyes.
Quatre was most unprepared for what had happened next.
GUNDAMS
Heavyarms was outside of the safe house, running laps in the woods that surrounded it. No one was within a few miles and there were no aircrafts in the air. At the moment it was perfectly safe to be outside.
Wing was also outside but he was laying down on the ground, enjoying the sun as it warmed up the gundamiam. He always liked doing nothing but enjoying the day. Whether it be playing cards with the other Gundams or enjoying the weather. He was pretty easy going, that is until it came to Heero. Heero just drove him nuts at times.
Deathscythe, who was beside him, had fallen asleep a little while ago. He also liked to enjoy the weather. In fact his favorite weather was nice and warm, sometimes even hot, and when it downpours with thunder and lightning. He had always loved thunderstorms.
Nataku was also sitting but she was a little further away. She was giving herself a… pedicure. She may be always surrounded by guys but that didn't mean that she had to be a tomboy and give up the few 'girly' things she liked. It just so very happens that painting her toenails and fingernails calms her. She may be mean and vindictive, vengeful even, but she still knew how to enjoy herself.
Lastly there was Sandrock. He was leaning against the safe house reading a book. If one looked close enough one could see it was one of the three books for The Lord of The Rings. If one looked closer they could see it was the third book, Return of the King. Sandrock loved to read. One could even say he was a bookworm. He loved reading new books and often went back to his favorite books. You could easily tell which books were his favorites because the covers would be worn and edges worn down.
Now one might wonder where Sandrock was able to acquire such a large book that he was able to easily read from because said book was not a normal size book as you or I would read from, for this book was easily the size of his hand plus a little more length.
The book and every other book that Sandrock had read had come from the same place the deck of cards they use to play games.
Now if one was to wonder where the deck of cards and the books came from, the Gundams would give you a simple answer.
They don't know.
During all of their life, when they needed something, like a book or a deck of cards, it was just there. They never pondered where it came from or took the time to notice where the items went when their pilots or any other human had come close to them. They never bothered with such thoughts for they never saw the reason to.
DIFFERENT POV
Heavyarms was making his 17th lap around the safe house by now. He was one of the most athletic of the group. When he wasn't running off his mouth to the others, he was putting his energy to good use, staying fit.
Heavyarms soon stopped his jogging and sat at the vacant side of Wing before lying down. "That felt good."
Wing nodded.
"It's a really nice day out, don't you think?"
"Yes. We haven't been able to enjoy ourselves like this for a while."
Heavyarms stretched his arms above his head while making a sound of agreement. "I always enjoy our days like today. No one is here to bother us, we don't have to hid, and we can finally relax."
Wing couldn't agree more. He didn't like hiding the truth from the pilots but what other choice was there? It was safer to keep things like they were now.
"Do you think that our pilots where ever find out that we are alive?" Heavyarms asked.
Wing turned his head to look at Heavyarms. "What?"
"Our pilots, they're not dumb. One of these days I sure that we'll be found out. I mean look back to when Duo found out. If Naraku hadn't acted then I'm sure the rest of the pilots would know our secret."
"Do you think they know our secret?" Wing was once more looking at the sky, watching the clouds pass by.
"No but I won't be surprised if one day they do find out. If could happen today, tomorrow or in a few years."
Wing and Heavyarms never noticed when Deathscythe had awoken from his nap and had started to listen in on their conversation. They never knew of what they were talking about was already starting to happen. One of the pilots already knew their secret.
Deathscythe continued to pretend he was still napping, wanting to hear the end of this conversation they were sharing, wanting to know how they truly felt without having to ask them and accidentally giving away that Duo knew their secret.
"We'll deal with it when it happens," said Wing.
"It won't be as easy as it was the first time. Our pilots will start to get suspicious if we resort to knocking them out each time one of them finds out," Heavyarms said wisely.
"Yes," Wing had agreed.
AN
Hoohoo… I wonder what is going to happen to Quatre. Actually I already know. If anyone can figure it out I will dedicate the next chapter to them (except for my sister and Chibi because they already know). Poor poor Quatre (giggles incisively to self). He won't know what hit him, and then there will be Duo. I already feel bad for Quatre.
So what do you think will happen? I truly want to know.
As always, any ideas that you have I will take into consideration. Also any reviews you leave will be wonderful. The more reviews I get makes me want to write more chapters for you. Needless to say if you supply the reviews, I'll supply the chapters.
And on a last note: 69 more days until AX! (Runs from E-chan because the countdown has begun.)
