Quatre slammed his fist against the table and glared at Wufei, "You can't possibly believe its Trowa?!?"
Wufei made an elaborate hand motion toward the shut tv screen; "perhaps you have a better explanation?"
Quatre dropped back into his chair and let his head drop onto the table between his two clentched fists. The tears streamed down his face and he clentched his jaw.
Heero placed his hand on Quatre's shoulder, he smiled down at the blond haired boy, "We don't have an exact proof yet, plus there are some things that bother me about that report…" Heero trailed off but continued to sort things out in his head.
Duo, who until then had retained his postition against the wall silently, muttered under his breath, "pilots, he didn't say pilot but pilots (1)…and the explostions were coming from three different directions and converinging to center…Trowa's good but not even Heero could have pulled that off alone." Duo shook his head as if to ward off the thoughts he was having.
Wufei raised an eyebrow at him and thought //It seems not only Heero has changed (2) but Duo as well seemed to have picked up some of Heero's ways of thinking.// It reminded Wufei of an old proverd he heard that talks of how when you fall in love with some one you gave them a piece of you soul.
Wufei looked at Heero and was surprised to find the small boy smiling lovingly down at his blond haired companion. Then as quickly as the smile appeared it dissolved and Heero snatched his hand away in disgust from the child's shoulder.
This confused even Wufei, //What is wrong with Heero?// he wondered then shook it off //this place is starting to become a Soap Opera.//
Duo walked down the crowded streets, even though everyone had agreed while these attacks were going on they should all lay low. He pushed people aside and ignored their curses. //Quatre? He dumped me for my own best friend?// He growled aloud rousing some odd looks by the people passing by. Perhaps if he had not been so lost in thought he would have noticed the four men following closely behind him as he turned into a small passage away from the mainstream of the crowd.
One of the men, large and burly with a red flat top and beard, grabbed his shoulder and chuckled, "you thought you could get away huh? But we already have you're little blonde haired friend." //Quatre!// Duo almost gasped but remembered to keep his composure. He pulled away and turned to smirk at the man, " you must be a real idiot to take on the God of Death alone." He said confidnetly.
The man threw back his head and laughed, "I'm no fool," He said, "I saw how many people you killed at the base with your hands alone so I brought some friends."
"Base?" Duo asked then saw 3 more men step out form behind the big men with guns. "Uh-oh…" He figured his best bet was to give up, so he lifted his hands and smiled, "I guess I'm all yours."
Quatre turned to Wufei after Duo had left. Heero had left earlier to get more maps to plan their search for Trowa and soon after Duo had just popped up and burst out without saying a word.
"They're fighting aren't they?" Quatre asked, Wufei shrugged then turned to look Quatre in the face.
"I think the best thing for you to do right now is to be selfish." Quatre looked up at him questioningly and Wufei continued, "look the last thing you need right now is to worry about everyone else's relationships."
Quatre sighed, "I guess you're right but…it help me not to think about…him…"
"Whatever is going on now I don't think that Trowa has stopped loving you or loves you any less…" Wufei offered.
"Thanks, but just out of curiosity when do you plan to start dating?" Quatre asked and Wufei laughed, then ruffled the boy's soft blonde hair.
Duo was thrown to a cell and landed on his side, he pulled himself up and muttered to the guards,"When I get out I'll be sure to return the hospitality…" The door locked loudly in response.
He brushed himself off and stood up, looking around the dimly lit cell and across the room he noticed a figure running toward him. //Quatre?// It ran up to him, threw ith's arms around Duo's neck and pulled him close and kissed him.
Duo didn't know hot to react; he stood there in shock as the figure pulled away burying its head in his chest. //Quatre just kissed me…what the hell he go and do that for?//
It spoke, but the voice that come out was not Quatre's, "Oh Maiyako, I knew you would come for me….but what kept you?" the soft femine voice purred. "I'm sorry I got caught but now that you're here…" The blonde girl looked into Duo's eyes lovingly //Amazing she looks just like Quatre// Duo thought. The girl gasped and pushed herself away, he eyes full of fear, "It's you, Kan Kokushibyou! (3)"
She pushed herself against the back wall, she reminded Duo of a deer in headlights, her body shaking.
"Kan Kokushiboyou?" Duo thought for a second, //why would anyone call me the 'first death'?// He put his hands up as a peace offering, " chill, I'm not going to hurt you kay?" He walked slowly towards the girl. He gentlely wiped the tears form her soft cheeks. She shivered at his touch.
She pulled herself away from him, "I'm sorry, Kan Kokushibyou." She said bowing her head slightly.
He looked at her questionably, "Sorry for what…and why do you keep calling me 'first death'?"
She colored slightly and smiled gentely, "I'm sorry for kissing you, I thought you were," she looked down, "…someone else."
"Well sorry to disappoint you but trust me I didn't want to be here." Duo plopped himself down on the ground and sat Indian styale. "They're looking for the Gundam pilots because of some attack on some military base, "he watcher her for her reaction, "If you tell them you're a girl they'll realize it's just a case of mistaken idenity and let you go."
She shook her head and sat down beside him, " no…they caught me in the act…I did destory the military base…"
"What happened to your friend?" He asked his deep viloit eyes probing her fro answers.
"What friend?" she responded innocently. Duo luahged, no that he really looked at her he was beginning to see some distinctions between her and Quatre.
"So what's your name, kid?" he asked.
She looked at him for a second before nodding then answering, Sanura."
"That's a cute name, mine's D-"
"I know your name," Sanura cut in, "It's Duo maxwell right? Or would you prefer Shinigami?"
Duo looked at her, "You're pretty smart…"
"I know." She replied.
Heero flipped the switch in his apartmentadn dropped the maps on the table. //No Duo…he must have decided to stay elsewhere// Heero noted //Good.//
He thought back to Quatre's house when his hand was on Quatre's should. He had looked down and saw before him such a kind, innocent boy that he had learned to cared for but then he remebered he had felt the same way for Duo. And because he had let his guard down, he had been punished. He was betrayed by the same kind of person he had been touching just then. It was only natureal that he snatched his hand away.
He had to leave; he had to get away from them all. Quatre, Wufei, and Duo. So he made the excuse of needing more maps. //Duo used to make fun of how many maps I had.//
He flopped down onto the bed he and Duo had shared and land laid back when he felt somehting jab into his back. He pulled out from under him the book Duo had been reading earlier. He was about to cast it aside when he caught a glimpse of the title. Heero read it again and couldn't help but smile.
The silver title etched across the cover read, "A Soldier's Wife."
Wufei shut the door to his room. He had decided to stay at Quatre's house for the night because the four were supposed to meet again in the morning.
Wufei opened his window, slowly as not to cause much noise and stuck his head out. He had a reason for chosing the room right above Quatre's.
Earlier that day while walking along the compound Wufei had noticed fresh footprints near that side of the house and one of the branches of the Saucer Magnolia tree near Quatre's window had begun to sag from fupporting a weight greater than what it was accustomed to.
Wufei stared out the widnow quietly and unmoving. All the lights in his room were off, as not to attract unwanted attention.
Though most of the Saucer Magnolia blocked the view from the window, he was able to see what he needed to.
A figure walked slowly toward the house not attempting to hide or run ro being sly in the least. It just walked up to the house reached up and pulled himself onto the branck in front of Quatre's window. The figure just sat on the branch and made no attempt to enter. It just sat and watched.
Wufei positioned himself on the window ledge. //Here goes nothing// he thought then dropped down on top of the figure causeing them both to fall out of the tree.
The hit the ground with a soft thud. The figure groaned, "Damnit Wufei."
Wufei rolled himself off of the figure and smirked in the dark, "That's what you get for sneaking around."
The figure dested off his jeans and adjusted his dark turtle neck sweater.
"So why are you sneaking around, Trowa?" Wufei asked.
"Trowa stood up and looked toward Quatre's window then back down at the Chinese pilot. "I'm not supposed to talk to you…" he said then offered a hand up to the boy, "…lets take a walk." Wufei took his hand and pulled himself up then dusted the grass of his white pants and blue tank top. "I understand." He said and the two started away from the house.
Duo looked at Sanura and smiled, "I take it that you're not going to give me many answers."
She nodded then shrugged, "I expect that if I asked you about the missions the Gundam pilots have been on you would give me just as evasive answers."
Duo looked at her expression closely as he asked, "But you don't need to ask do you?" She puinched playfully on the arm, having completely relaxed in his presnse. "Nise try but my lips are sealed." Ths she gentely touched his cheek and rean her hand across it. "Amazing, " she whispered.
Duo beamed, "I know." She laughed and stuck her tounge out at him, "Not you, but how much you're like Mai…or Mai like you, you're even equally arrogant…I feel like I've known you forever…"
She blushed softly and pulled her hand away from his face.
"Is this Mai your nushi (lover)?" Duo asked, causing her to go even redder.
"Nushi?!?…Maiyako is soo much to me but…..she isn't not…my nushi…?" She asked herself more than him.
"Well, " Duo cut in, "The way you kissed me whn you thought I was Mai-" Duo was interrupted by a laugh coming from the other side of the cell door. "I leave you alone for a few hours and your hormones just rage don't they Sanura?"
Sanura sprang up and ran to the door, "Maiyako?" she shrieked, How dare you sit there listening in on me? GET ME OUT OF HERE!"
//So this is Maiyako?// Duo thought then a different voice cut into his thoughts, it was another female voice, "Maiyako is soooo much to me!!" it mimicked then there was more laughing on the other side of the door.
Sanura turned beat red and banged on the door. "Get me out of here so that I can kill you Tetikora!"
Duo couldn't help but smile, then the second voice, Tetikora, Duo believed was her name, spoke again."So who's your new boyfriend?"
Sanura went queit. In the background Duo hear the first voice, Maiyako, grumble, "Why won't these keys work?!?"
"Sanura?" Tetikora called out, "I asked you who you were with…are you okay?"
Sanura inhaled deeply and spoke, her voice cautious, as if expecting a bomb to go off. "I'm fine…I with…Kan Kokushibyou."
She was met with silence, Duo got up and walked next to her placeing his hand on her shoulder and whispered, I feel really unpopular right now."
She couldn't help but smile, //Just like Maiyako// she thought.
"Sanura," Maiyako finally spoke, "I'm going to have to take the door out manually…so back up kay?"
"Hai" Sanura answered, "What about…him?"
After a slight pause Maiyako responded, "we aren't going to leave him here but..Sanura."
"Hai." Sanura answered leaving Duo wondering what she had just agreed to and then he heard pounding on the door. The Iron door began to jut out in a few places as if something was attempting to ram through it. The door had just been knocked completely out of the frame when Duo felt something slam against the back of his head. He felt his legs buckle underneath him and he collapsed on to the floor. "San..ur..ra.." In the doorway he saw two figures step into the room. They were Wufei and…himself. Then it all went black.
