Chapter thirteen- 'Aftermath'
They were a tangle mess of limbs, and bodies. Usagi laid sprawled on top of Duo, her head aching, and her heart pounding in her chest so hard, she could barely breath.
Duo, stared blankly into Usagi face, dazed and confused. His arms, had instinctively wrapped themselves around her waist to protect her from falling. With her body pressed so close to his, he found it hard to concentrate.
He blinked, and tried to remember what had happened seconds ago. It wasn't until Usagi suddenly hit him on the shoulder, and shouted, "You're crazy!" She scrambled up off him, and hugged herself tightly.
It was so clear now, what had happened, and why he was here now, lying on thick bushes, with red little berries.
?????
He had smelled the smoke, before he knew there was a fire. He had been on the third level, when suddenly the alarms went off, startling him out of his daze.
He glanced left then right, and then at the blinking red light attacked to the wall, that was making him go deaf, with the loudness of it.
He hurried along the hall, rushing towards the stairway. As he grew closer, the smoke grew denser. He made it to the heavy door to the stars, and rushed down them, getting out, the only thing on his mind.
He was just about to pass the second floor, when a thought occurred to him. The second floor, lead all the way to the mansion part of the academy, and there were no fire alarms in the mansion.
He frowned, and pushed open the door to second floor, and when it shut behind him, he proved himself right. He could faintly hear the alarms.
He scowled, and raced down the hall, a new mission on his mind. 'Find Usagi before it was too late.'
He stopped in front of a door, a room number made of brass, nailed to the wooden door. He tried the knob, and it turned with ease, and he opened the door without a squeak.
It wasn't until he was inside the room, did her hear the faint soft sound, of singing. He glanced at the bathroom door, and rushed towards it.
He knocked lightly, pressing his ear to the door to listen. No running water, but the occasional splash of it against a hard surface.
She was singing to herself in the bathtub. He knocked again, this time louder, but there came no reply. Sighing, he eased open the door, and closed his eyes, and stated, "I'm coming in."
He waited, but her soft voice still rung through the hollow bathroom. Her voice bounced off the plain walls, and rolled through the steamy air, dense with humidity.
"Kono Yaro! I'd never hurt my family, never. My otosan and her are all I have."
He blinked several times, wondering what she meant. He didn't speak Japanese, but figured she had cursed in her native tongue.
She sighed slowly, and rolled her head to the side. He just stared at her, for a brief second or two. She was gorgeous, and he knew why Quatre talked of her so much now. Sure he had seen her here or there, but not so closely as he did now.
Her skin was perfect, pale, but beautiful. Pearly white, in the reflection of the water, that surrounded her. Her hair pulled up into a messy bun, to keep out of the water, but a few strands had escaped the black clip. The golden tresses, framed her heart shaped face, and her bangs, plastered to her forehead, from the wet air.
Her eyes were closed, and he already missed the beautiful innocent blue eyes he had seen from the other night.
Long legs bent at the knees, and slender arms hanging halfway out the tub, her elbows resting on the sides. The water covered her from the collarbone down.
He sighed, looking away from the goddess before him and glanced out the window. The fire trucks were here, and were already working, to stop the fire.
He stalked towards her, and hit the stop button, on the small CD player next to the tub. She shot up, her body reacting much like a cat when startled. She body when tense, and he saw her back stiffen, and her skin stretch across the muscles he had. She whirled around on him, and shrieked loud enough, to wake the dead. Her hands grabbed the washcloth on the side of the tub, and covered her body the best she could. It wasn't like he couldn't see her; the bubbles covered everything for her.
He held up his hands to defend himself, before she could throw anything at him. "Hey lady, I'm sorry!!!!! I didn't have a choice. Now get dress before we both burn down with the academy."
She ripped the headphones off her head, and snapped harshly, "Eechi baka!!!" Not understanding the words, but knew she insulted him, he waved his hands around, "Hey, I said I was sorry!" He dove out of the way, when she splashed water towards him. "Hey, I'm trying to help you!!! The academy is on fire!!!!!"
She paled, her face turning to a ghostly color. She titled her head, as if to hear something, and she gasped.
He turned, before she could even jump out of the tub. He heard her rustling around behind him. Then it all stopped, and the bathroom was plunged into silence. "Gomen Nasasi."
He turned around facing her once again, and let out a soft sigh, when he saw her dressed. "Alright, lets get out of here."
?????
Duo snapped out of his memories, when Usagi shifted restlessly on top of him. He frowned, and looked at her face. She didn't look too happy, but he grinned anyway. "Hey we're alive right?"
Usagi scowled, and wriggled away from him, and leaped out of the bushes, before he could get to his feet.
Relena rushed towards them, and pulled Usagi into a tight hug. "Oh kami, I though you were dead." Usagi flushed at the attention, but hugged her itoko back. "I'm alright Lena chan. See, no scratches." She pulled back, just as a man, she had yet to meet arrived. He was beautiful, in an elegant, and gentle way. She found it hard to take her eyes away from his. His eyes were so light, so gentle they drew her in like a moth to a light. They held compassion, honor, trust, and devotion. Another boy taken to war, and came back a man, still not ready to grow up.
She had seen it many times before; in all the men she had met since coming to the academy. They all held that look, the look of a worrier, but with a little boy trapped inside a cage, made of hatred, anger, and fear.
His hair, looked so soft, so silky, in the long tresses that fell to his waist loosely. It was pale blonde, much like Quattre's, but with a hint of silver.
Dressed as casual, as a man with his tall appearance. Khakis, and a belt around his waist to hold up the slacks. A black shoulder sleeve shirt, tucked into the waistband of his pants.
Usagi flushed, and looked expectantly to Relena. She felt intimidated in the taller man's presence. He was as tall as the man from the mall, but built more like his partner.
Relena grinned, "Usagi, meet my Oniisan. Miliardo, meet my itoko."
He held out his hand, a soft smile laced his lips, but held no life to them. Usagi took his hand, and received a light shake, and a light kiss to her knuckles, before he let her hand go. He stepped back, and stared deeply into her eyes, as if he knew what was going through her mind.
"It's a pleasure." Then he turned from her, leaving Usagi slightly dazed.
Relena turned from Usagi, and her Oniisan, to the academy. The third floor was gone, and the second floor was about ready to collapse. She sighed, feeling the day's event hit her roughly in the heart. Usagi wrapped an arm over her shoulder, and laid her head on her itoko's shoulder. "Gomen nasasi Lena chan."
Relena waved off the apology, with a wave of her hand. "It's not your fault Usagi. Lets go into town, and rent a room, till we can get the academy rebuilt."
Quatre stepped forward, "Miss Relena." Relena turned with Usagi, and they looked at him questionably. He flushed, but held his embarrassment out of his voice. "I have a mansion, we can all stay in till the academy is rebuilt." Relena smiled, "that would be great Quatre kun. Domo artigato." He flushed darker, but nodded. Relena pointed to the lone pink limo waiting to be used out front. "I guess we ride there now, and get some sleep. It's been a long day for everyone." She frowned at the pink limo, and wished it could be another color, but it wouldn't change. The brightness of it, was humiliating.
She led everyone there, and climbed in with Usagi, Miliardo, Noin, and Jadeite, who insisted on coming. The boys, on the other hand hesitated, before they reluctantly climbed in as well. With everyone cramped inside, Peagan, pulled away from the curb and left, following Quatre's directions.
Duo was seated next to Usagi, and Relena on the other side of her. "Uh Usagi?" Usagi turned from her conversation with Relena, and looked at Duo. "Hai?"
Duo slapped on a grin, "I was just wondering, since you look shaken up, if you'd like to spend tomorrow with me?" Usagi smiled, "Doing what?"
Duo scratched the back of his head, but from the corner of his eyes, he saw three blurry figures glaring at him. He glanced at Trowa Quatre, and Wufei in disbelief. Looking at Heero, told him the perfect soldier didn't care.
He laughed nervously, and looked back a Usagi. "Well, I go to this orphanage in town, and visit the kids. Tomorrow they're all going to this fair, and I just thought that maybe you'd enjoy it there."
Usagi's face lit up, "Hai, I'd love to go!" She pulled him into a tight embrace, just as the limo pulled up into a driveway.
Usagi pulled back, to look out the window. "Wow, Quatre kun, it's beautiful." The limo came to a stop, and the group climbed out. Duo stood next to Usagi, and glared at the two, who were going to stand next to her. Relena stood next to him, and wrapped an arm around his shoulder.
Duo blanched, as Relena smiled at him, and whispered, "You're kawaii."
Usagi giggled, and raced up the steps, and disappeared inside. Jadeite called out her name, and went after her.
Wufei crossed his arms, and sent Duo a death glare, as he stalked into the mansion. Quatre snickered under his breath, and hurried in after Usagi.
Trowa stood next to Heero, who had his arms crossed over his chest.
Relena giggled, "Come on in Duo chan. Lets go to the kitchen, and get something to eat." Duo flushed, "I...I...I think I'm busy." Relena frowned, "Yea, your busy spending he afternoon with me. That thing you did earlier, jumping out. That was brave." She traced a finger down his chest.
A glint appeared in her dark blue eyes, as a soft sexy smile appeared on her face. She led Duo into the mansion.
Miliardo took his place next to Heero, and frowned. "Have I missed something?" Heero shrugged, and stalked inside, but a faint emotion flickered in his eyes. Relief.
Trowa sighed, and nodded to the doorway, and Miliardo nodded. They walked inside, and shut the door behind them.
Usagi walks out onto the stage, "Luna P, tell the reader, why you took so long!!!"
Luna P looks out, "Are u sure it's safe???"
Usagi nods, and Luna P walks out wearily. "alright, i bruised my pinky nail by trying to shut a window. so my whole right hand went numb. yea it sucked. also, i had popped a vein i think it was, and i have these blood spots on the inside of my skin. so Gomen people. also, i want to start another story. but in order to do so, i need ur help couples."
Usagi looks at Luna P, who is about to disappear behind the curtain. "Aren't you going to tell them what it is?"
"What one is what?"
Usagi rolls her eyes, "The one where Heero's like 18, and he just dropped out of the Preventers, since he was in it for like three years. And he tries to find a job, but no one will accept him, because of his background in the war. He moves, to colony L1, away from the pacifist bitch finally. He sees an ad in the paper, goes to a house, with two women, and their adopted child. He asks for a job, and is accepted. I'm the next door neighbor, who does yard work, for driving lessons..."
Luna P nods, "Oh hai, that one. Yea, I wanted to know what kind of couples you'd like. If I ever could get around to writing it. You pick k!
Heero/Usagi I'm sorry they are for sure, unless I can change it, and it would be,
Heero/Haruka, you pick.
Wufei/Ami
Wufei/Hotoru, if so she will be older If not, then she will be young, about five or so.
Duo/Minako
Duo/Ami
Duo/Makoto
Trowa/Setsuna
Quatre/Minako
Quatre/Michiru, that is if Haruka ends up with Heero.
Quatre/Makoto
Quatre/Ami
Miliardo/Makoto
Miliardo/Michiru, if Haruka/Heero
Rei/Duo
Rei/Wufei
Rei/Jadiete????
if you can think of any others tell me alright.
