In this chapter is where you'll find out if either Duo or Quatre found Heero, or if neither person they found is him.

Nope, I don't own Gundam Wing... :*(

You're Under the Mistletoe

Chapter 4

Saying Hilde was mad was a huge understatement. VERY huge. She was furious, blazing with rage, unmistakably- well, you get the point. When she and Duo had made the trip to earth from L2, she was expecting to spend most of her time with him. Instead she was in their motel room, cold, and alone.

She saw him a total of 4 times the four days they were there. She understood that he wanted to be nice and find Heero for Relena, but this was really pushing it. He was over searching for him 2 days straight, coming back looking half-dead. Then he went back first thing in the morning, staying until the night, and not coming back in the morning like he said he would.

Just receiving the call from Noin saying he had left to L1 put her in her current state. 'He didn't tell me anything! I hate him!' Hilde silently vowed to herself that when he did come back, he would get a piece of her mind, and her fist.

~~~~~~

Relena wondered where everyone was lately. After Duo and Hilde had come, everyone disappeared somewhere. She walked through the hallways of the extensive Cinq palace, searching for anyone that would know anything.

Walking by the communication room, she thought she heard voices. She peeked through to see Trowa and Noin talking to each other, and they were very close too. 'What are they doing in a room alone, and together? Miss Noin has my brother!'

She heard some of their conversation. "Do you think she'll find out?" Noin asked Trowa. 'Who's she?'

"Well, what about him, do you think he even cares?" Trowa asked Noin. 'Huh?!'

"I honestly don't know."

Relena had enough and stormed into the room causing Trowa and Noin to jump up. "Relena, what are you doing here?" She frowned, suspicion in her eyes. 'They're trying to play dumb to trick me.'

"Why are you too in here, alone?"

Noin searched Relena's face, and analyzed what she just said. Realization hit her face as she caught her drift and she started to laugh. Trowa's expression didn't change at all, but the realization hit him too.

The blond haired girl's eyes narrowed even further. "What are you laughing about?"

"We aren't doing anything Relena. We're monitoring Quatre and Duo's flight."

"Flight to where? And for what?"

Noin was stumped as for what to tell her, but it didn't matter because Trowa answered right away. "They have some business in a colony to deal with. Don't worry about it."

A reddish hue filled Relena's cheeks for assuming anything was going on between them. Still, something was fishy about the whole thing. "I'm sorry..."

"Forget it." Noin said. "Why don't we go somewhere?" The younger woman nodded and they left the room.

~~~~~~~

"This is Duo and Quatre, over."

"Trowa, I read you."

Duo's image smiled. "We're both here, and we're going to find the people now."

"All right, over and out." Duo flipped the portable unit closed. 'Please Heero, be here... Relena needs you...' He looked up to meet Quatre's blue-green eyes. "Are you ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." The men disembarked the shuttle and went their own ways, intent on finding the man known as Heero Yuy and bring him back to earth.

~~~~~~

Quatre surveyed the area. The address he was looking for was close by to where he was, he would just need to walk down the streets and look for it. '435... 437... 439... here it is, 441...'

He didn't know exactly what to do. It would be awkward to go and knock on the door, and it turned out that it wasn't Heero. And if it was? 'What would I tell him? Relena needs you?' He sighed, still at a lost of what to do.

As if someone was listening to him at that moment, the door opened, and the man that matched the stats walked out. Yes, he looked a lot like Heero, but unfortunately, it wasn't him. This man was more of an older version of him, that hadn't grown at all since he was younger. The stats, although they had everything else, did not have the age of the man.

The man passed by him, tipping his hat, and continued on his way. Quatre sucked in a breath sadly. 'Heero, where did you go? I sure hope that Duo has better luck than I do.' He watched the man disappear down the street, before going back to the shuttle to wait for Duo, and reprt back to Trowa.

~~~~~~~

Duo reached the room in the apartment building where the man was supposedly staying. He raised his hand to knock on the door, contemplating on what to say in both cases. 'If it's not him, I can say I have the wrong place, if it is... well, I'll have to think about that...'

His fist finally hit the wood door, ever so slightly, as if it was an accident, causing a dull knock to echo in the hallway. On the other side, there was a sound of a metal chain being removed, followed by a click, and the door was open. Upon seeing the man, Duo's face fell. He was hopeful that it could have possibly been him, but this person obviously wasn't. His hair was slicked back, and his blue eyes were more friendly. "May I help you?"

Duo shook his head sadly. "I think I got the wrong room. Sorry about that."

The man smiled. "Can I help you with the room you're looking for?"

If there was ever in Duo's entire life when he was any luckier, the door to the next room opened. It was not the door opening that made him lucky, it was because of who was opening it. There was Heero Yuy, with his messy brown hair, scowl set on his face, and intense blue eyes glaring at the world. He opened the door, stepped out, and closed it behind him.

Once he was in the hallwasy, out of the corner of his eye he thought he saw a familiar face. Turning his head to face that person, his eyes widened to see that Duo was only a few feet away from him. 'What the hell? How'd Duo find me?' The braided man turned back to the man at his door. "No thanks, I found who I was looking for." The man closed his door.

Duo and Heero stared at eachother for what seemed like hours. Violet eyes glared at prussian blue ones. Blue eyes narrowed, questioning the violet ones as if asking "why are you here?" In a flash of black, the suit-clad Heero bolted down the stairs in an attempt to lose him. Duo cursed and ran down the stairs, hot on the trail of the fugitive Heero.

Ok, so why is Heero running away? Does he know why Duo is there? I don't really like this chapter, there was too much talking, and not enough places to be descriptive. In the next one, hopefully there'll be more parts like that. The part I did like was Relena thinking there was something going on with Noin and Trowa... hehe... I just had to put that in.

"You are the star for which all evenings wait." -- You should know where this is from.... *sigh* I wish I had someone to tell me that....
