"One of us die?! You have got to be kidding me!" Duo cried.
"Do I look like I'm the kind that kids around?" Heero demanded coldly.
"N...no, but still...!" Duo stammered, "Who's going to do it?"
Heero stared at him, "I already picked the person who's doing it. And who that person is, is none of your business."
"Oh, so it's not me, then?" Duo asked.
"No," Heero muttered.
Duo let out a 'phew'! and wiped a bead of sweat from his forehead. Heero gave him a glare and continued typing.
"Go home, Duo," Heero said, "there's no business for you here."
"Psh! Fine, just kick me out, why don't you," Duo whined as he closed the door behind him. Heero snorted and continued typing, suddenly a four-dimensional model of a bomb popped up on the screen. A nuclear explosive shoudld o the trick. But the shockwave can travel for hundreds of miles.
"Hmm, maybe I can cut down the shockwave to only travel a mile or so...therefore no innocent civilians will be harmed...but is that possible?" Heero typed violently, fooling around with the explosive data. A smirk appeared on Heero's face. Maximum travel of shockwave: half a mile.
"Perfect," Heero smirked. He printed out all the data. Building an explosive shouldn't be a problem. That was his specialty.

Relena looked out the window of her mansion.
"I wonder what Heero's doing," se said softly. She felt total empathy for him. All he went through...
"Relena Peacecraft?"
Relena turned around, staring right into the face of Heero.
"Heero! What are you doing here?" Relena asked.
Heero smirked, " Come with me."
"What for?" She asked.
"Just come," Heero said, getting impatient.
"Jeez, okay..." Relena followed him out of the door. He walked her to the car, and opened the door for her. What a gentlemen, Relena thought. He closed the door and and walked to the other side, getting into the driver's seat.
He locked the doors, starting the cars.
"Why are you locking the doors?" Relena asked.
Heero paused, " Safety reasons."
"Oh."
He drove off, they were completely quiet. Relena looked out the window, deep in thought. She looked back at him, noticing a dangerously sick grin on his face. His foot went down on the pedal, the car going faster, way past the speed limit.
"Heero, slow down!" Relena cried.
"I can't, I'm running late."
"Running late for what?" Relena asked.
"You'll see." He smiled that sick smile again. Relena was beginning to get nervous, this wasn't the Heero she knew.
"Heero, let me out," Relena grabbed the handle and began to pull at it, but the lock was still on. Heero snickered. Relena pulled at the lock, but it didn't budge.
"Let me out!" She yelled.
"I can't do that," Heero said.
"Yes you can," Relena snapped, "All you do is slow down, stop the car, unlock the doors, and let me out."
Heero stopped the car, it swerved, barely hitting another car. He grabbed her shoulder, his eyes enraged.
"Don't be a smartass, Miss Relena," Heero growled.
"Let go of me," Relena said. She flew her hand forward to slap him, but like a bolt of lightning, Heero's hand shot up and grabbed her wrist, stopping her. He smiled.
"I'd behave if I were you," He sneered.
His grip tightened, Relena winced in pain.
"Let go of me!" She yelled.
His grip tightened even more, she could feel her bones being smashed.
"Stop it, you're hurting me!" She screamed. Heero lifted an eyebrow.
"That's the point, isn't it?" he demanded.
"What's wrong with you?!" She demanded.
"I'm warning you Relena, behave yourself," He snarled. He twisted her wrist around, Relena screamed in pain.

Duo walked through a forest, whistling. He had told himself over and over to relax. He decided a walk through the forest should do it.
"I wonder who's going to be the lucky one," Duo asked himself. He sighed as the birds around him sang.
"Duo!" A voice cried.
Duo spun around, "Hilde!"
Hilde ran up to him, smiling.
"What are you doing out here?" She asked.
He shrugged, "Trying out something new, I guess."
"It's peaceful out here," Hilde observed. Duo grinned, "Yeah, it is."
Hilde looked around, admiring the young and old trees, the birds flying and singing, butterflies and bees tending to the flowers. Something caught Hilde's eye.
"Duo, look at this," Hilde said. She bent down, softly touching an odd looking flower. It was a pastel red mixed with a deep violet.
"Do you know how rare this flower is?" Hilde asked him.
"Um...no," Duo said, "but I have to admit, I've never seen anything like it."
"People thought these were extinct in the U.S., but behold!" Hilde picked it from the ground, admiring it.
"It's called a Blood Drop," Hilde said, "It earned its name from its color."
Duo smiled, "So Hilde, when did you become an expert on flowers?"
Hilde laughed, "I just love your sense of humor."
Duo smiled, "So, these flowers are rare?"
"Yeah," Hilde said, "Long ago, this was a symbol of friendship among the Native Americans."
Hilde smiled and handed the flower to Duo, "How about we carry on the tradition?"
Duo took it and smiled a warm, loving smile to her, "You were always, and will be, one of my best friends. I'll keep this guy safe. Thanks, Hilde."
"No problem, Duo," Hilde smiled and gave Duo a small hug.
"I better get going," Duo said suddenly, "I have a little mission I hva eto take care of."
"Can I help?" Hilde asked, "You know how much I love to help, Duo."
Duo smiled, "Sorry, Hilde, but this one can be dangerous."
"I don't want you to get hurt, let me help!"
"I'll be fine!" Duo said cheerfully, "no need to worry. After the mission is over, we'll do something together. Something very special..."
"Like what?" Hilde asked, smiling.
"Um...fishing?"
Hilde laughed, "Well, whatever you want to do is fine with me."
"Okay," Duo said, "How about we go to lunch, and see a movie. A comedy, of course!"
"Scary Movie," Hilde grinned.
Duo grinned, "Yeah, that one would be perfect!"
"Yeah," Hilde agreed, "who would throw their own grandmother at their killer?"
Duo and Hilde laughed. Duo waved to her and walked off.
"Later, Duo," Hilde called.
"See ya."

"Miss Relena? Dinner is ready," Noin knocked on her door. No answer. Noin slowly opened the door and walked in.
"Miss Relena?" She called. Still no answer. She ran out into the hall.
"Milliardo!" She called.
"What is it, Noin?" Milliardo asked, seeming concerned.
"Was Relena planning on going anywhere today?" Noin asked.
"No, Peagan is still here, so is Dorothy."
"Well, she isn't in her room. Or the bathroom, the kitchen, the waiting room..."
"She's gone?" Milliardo demanded.
Noin could only nod.
"Oh damn," Milliardo ran outside, "RELENA!"
~~~~~~~~
With a sneer, Heero threw Relena into a cell and closed the door behind him, locking it.
"You can stay in there until you learn how to behave yourself," Heero said.
"Let me out!" Relena screamed, "let me out!"
She pushed violently into the door, screaming in anger.
"Go ahead and keep banging yourself into the door until you kill yourself," Heero snickered as he walked off.
"I know he'll come," he whispered to himself, "he did the last time. He will again. And when he does..."
He ripped the fake skin off of his metallic hand, a long, sharp knife flicked out in front of his wrist. It gleamed in the moon light.
"You aren't going to get out of here this time," he whispered, "I'll make sure of it."
"Do I look like I'm the kind that kids around?" Heero demanded coldly.
"N...no, but still...!" Duo stammered, "Who's going to do it?"
Heero stared at him, "I already picked the person who's doing it. And who that person is, is none of your business."
