Chapter 13: The Secret Room
Heero's POV
"Heeerrroooo, where are you?"
"Kuso" I whispered out after hearing that annoying voice. 'I was so close to a kiss to, damn it,' I thought silently.
Duo's eyes were down cast finding the spots on the floor very interesting all of a sudden.
'Damn it, I was moving to fast. He is probably a bit freaked out to what just…well almost happened.'
Duo still had his eyes cast down, I felt bad for pushing him. I was about to tell him I was sorry when, just then, Relena came into the room and launching herself at me and blinding me once again with her all pink dress.
'Where and the hell does she buy these ugly dresses? Does she have them specially made for her, because I can't imagine a sane person getting a dress like that.' I thought when she came in.
"Heero, why didn't you answer me?" she asked in her usually whiny voice.
'Because I don't like you and I wanted to be here with Duo alone,' I said to myself quietly, but I what I said aloud was, "I was talking to Duo when you screamed for me."
"Duo's here?" she asked stupidly. She then turned her head to see where Duo was standing. I was happy to see he brought his head back up to look back into Relena's eyes to let her know he was there. "Oh…well that's nice I guess, but Heero I wanted to talk to you." she then started to bat her eyelashes at me, trying to make me flirt back. I of course would not.
"Ok, then. Talk!" I demanded in my usual solider voice.
She looked a bit shocked, but quickly shook it off. "Oh, well, I actually wanted to talk to you alone." She then tossed a Duo a glare, which I saw her do, which made me become even angrier at her. I was going to start telling her off, but Duo spoke before I could open my mouth.
"Oh, I won't be here to disrupt your conversation. So if you'll excuse me now, I'll just leave." He said all this quickly and then walked at a fast pace out of the doors.
I was staring at the door Duo had just exited, and my heart felt a little crushed by his hasty exit. Relena had, of course started talking again. Of course I did not want to listen to her right now or for the rest of my life for that.
"Why were you here alone with that…that…TRASH? He's nothing but a street rat, which got lucky to even be in our presence. You should choose the company you hang out with more wisely Heero. You should be around people who are proper and came from somewhere, like me for example. I could introduce you to so many important people, so that you will never have to be in company of that filth. I could show you so much about-"
"SHUT THE FUCK UP!" I yelled at her, not letting her finish her speech. "I don't want to be with you, ever. Get that though your thick head. And never, NEVER, insult Duo like that again or I will kill you." Relena was giving out a few whimpers, and her eyes were big and full of fear, but I didn't care. She had insulted Duo too much and thought I would agree with her.
I stormed out of the room to walk off a little bit of my frustration, while I looked for Duo. I wanted to talk things out with him. I wanted him to understand that I cared for him, but I didn't want to scare him off. I then thought I would try and take it slow at first. I would try and befriend him, and then see how to move on then. The only thing I needed to do first though would be that hardest…trying to find out where Duo went.

Duo's POV.
After hearing that annoying voice, which sounded very familiar, I was too embarrassed to look up into Heero's eyes.
'Shit, what did I almost do? I can't believe we almost kissed,' I thought, 'He's probably disgusted.
I kept my eyes on the floor, as if it was a piece of priceless art that only I could see. Out of the corner of my eye I saw a girl wearing lots of pink, shoot herself at Heero and latched onto his arm.
'Ah could this be his girlfriend? But he doesn't seem too happy to see her as she is to see him.'
You wouldn't be too happy either if the pink monster attached heselfr to you.
I had to agree with that, damn that voice was good.
I came out of my thoughts when I heard the girl say my name. I looked up just when she turned towards me. She didn't look too happy to see me, but I didn't comment on it.
"Oh…well that's nice I guess, but Heero I wanted to talk to you." As she said this I noticed her eyes batting at Heero furiously.
"Ok, then. Talk!" I was surprised to hear Heero tell the girl this, and in such a cold voice.
She seemed a little taken back before she began to talk again. "Oh, well, I actually wanted to talk to you alone." She then turned her eyes towards me again, but this time she was glaring at me openly.
'I did not come here to be glared at by a this little bitch, damn it. Oh well, I might as well leave if I am not wanted here, right.' I said to myself.
"Oh, I won't be here to disrupt your conversation. So if you'll excuse me now, I'll just leave." I said a bit too quickly, but I really didn't care. I then quickly walked out of the doors, leaving Heero and the girl to talk.
Why did you leave?
"They didn't want me there." I said aloud. Walking down hallways, not even paying attention to where I was going. My feet seemed to know where to go so I just followed while not even noticing.
You know that's not true.
"Well one of them defiantly didn't want me there, but I really don't know what Heero was thinking about. Besides the way that girl acted, they probably have something going on."
Yeah right, Heero seemed so happy to see her come in. Oh yea, and don't forget how he demanded her to talk right away in a cold voice. Yeah he is one romantic guy to her.
"Shut up, why do you want me to get my hopes up?"
What makes you think your hopes won't come true? What if your hoping had already taken place a long time ago.
I was about to say something in return, but then stopped myself as I realized I had stopped a few minutes ago. I looked around at where I was at, but I knew Heero didn't show me this on our tour. I was in what looked like a small, hallway that you had to squeeze to get to where a lone door stood. I was about to go into the room when I realized I didn't know where I was. I then began to back track a little, when I stopped at an even smaller space that seemed to lead to the main hallway. The space between the two hallways was so small that you had to turn, so your back was facing the wall, while you slid out into the open. I made a mental note to stay as lean as I was so I could keep going back there, otherwise I wouldn't be able to fit. I recognized this hallway from Heero's tour. This particular hallway led to Heero's and my bedroom that we shared.
Since I now knew where I was, I slipped back into the gap to the other hallway. I went straight to the door that I saw earlier and stopped.
'What if this is some ones room and I am just barging in…' I was thinking to whether I should enter the room or not. I didn't want to be rude and evade some ones privacy, but then my curiosity never really cared… '…to open or not to open…that is th- aww screw it I'm just going in.'
I opened the door for it to only reveal a small cot, books lying on the floor and on shelves, there was also a desk near the back wall. All in all this was a very small room, which I now know no one visits often from all the dust.
I walked over to the cot, which looked like any other cot, but this one had black sheets. I then picked up some of the books to see what they were. They weren't any thing special really, just mainly novels and engineering books. I then finally walked over to the desk which had a few papers spread over it. Before I started to open the drawers, I paused because I saw picture frame. The frame wasn't the thing that caught my interest, it was the picture inside of it. It was a picture of Heero with his face set emotionless and seemed to be glaring at the camera. I decided I wouldn't go though the drawers right at this moment, because I wanted him to have some privacy, if this turned out to be his room
'I wonder if this room belonged to him.'
You could be right, but I doubt it.
"You know whose room this is don't you." I stated
Maybe
"Agh, why won't you just tell me? And how do you know so much about me? You know things I can't remember and you won't tell me" I said getting more than a little frustrated.
My, my, getting angry are we. Just to make you cool off a little, I will tell you this. You may have forgotten, but I remember everything. I know who and what you are. I also know who has been haunting your dreams for the past year.
"Then why? Why won't you just tell me so I can learn about myself?" I said sounding more frustrated and beginning to yell.
Because I can't. The voice snapped, you won't let me, and yes it's all of your doing. You may not know it, but your subconscious will only let me reveal a little to you at a time.
"I-I'm sorry…I…I just want to know what's going on and why, and you have the answers."
Its ok, but you're also so frustrated because you're mad at that girl, right.
It wasn't a question but a statement. I walked back over to the cot an laid down on it to rest a little. I didn't know at first if I was mad at that girl or not but I realized I was.
"Y-yeah…I am, but I don't know why. She just rubs me the wrong way, and she was glaring at me when I first saw her."
Do you know anything about her?
"No, I don't think I do. I don't even know why she is on the ship. I know she's not a solider just by looking at her. So why is she here?"
Maybe she is here for another reason. You know maybe she is one of those people that are suppose to help keep peace. The voice sounded as if it was trying to hint at something, but I couldn't figure out what.
"How could some one like her help keep peace? I swear Relena can't even ke-" I stopped as I realized I had just said the girl's name, that I didn't remember a minute ago.
So you do know something about her then. Good, because that's all I need.
"For what?" I ask.
To give you a glimpse of whom you are.
With that, images began to flood my mind.
Flash Back
Duo: "Hello Relena, how are you this fine day?"
Relena: "I'm fine, and you will call me Miss Darlian or Miss Peacecraft to you.
Duo: "Whatever you say princess." 'Bitch.'

Duo outside of study in one of the safe house, Quatre and Relena are inside talking.
Relena: "He's a street rat. Why do you bare his presence at all?"
Quatre: "Because, Miss Peacecraft, he is my friend. Now if you don't mind I will leave you to your own foul words." Quatre got up and left the room noticing Duo on the way out, smiling at him.
"Thank you."
"Anything for a friend."

Duo: "Aaahhhh, it's the pink monster in her pink mobile, run for your lives."
The whole group is laughing as Duo dives underneath the bed.

Relena: "Oh Heero I love you, and one day we will live happily together in a peaceful world and…Heero where did you go?"
Heero: "Stop laughing you baka, and keep me hidden."
Duo: chuckling "Sure, I won't let the pink monster get you."
"Arigato"
"Doitashimate"
End Flash Back
I opened my eyes quickly and started to gasp for air. I realized where I was after about a minute, of me calming down from my experience.
'So I did know them from before.'
My mind was full of new questions I wanted to ask, along with the old, but for now I was tired. Remembering things like that took a lot out of me. I began to drift off back to sleep when I realized I was in the hidden room. Oh well its now too late, I don't think I could move to leave right now. I then began to drift into a peaceful sleep.

(Somewhere else) My POV.
Relena was pacing back and forth in her room talking aloud.
"That trash is back. I thought he died in the war already. Damn it, he is corrupting my Heero with his fag self. I need to get the garbage away from Heero. I know that my dear Heero loves me, it's just that he is to shy for his own good, but he will announce his love to me when the trash is gone. I just need to have a plan that will make the street rat leave and no one will try and find. I need to make him push Heero away because then he'll leave."
Relena stopped her pacing and grinned. She had started to form a plan that she was positive would work. She than began to laugh evilly as she wrote out her terrible plan.
