Ai Shiteru, Quatre-kun
Part 2
Note: Ionia had one too many Mountain Dews before writing this part...it was only one, but still...and last night's sugar high still lingers...(((_^
Warning: Severe Furby bashing, intense consuming of large amounts of M&Ms.
The next day, I woke up to sunny skies and birds singing. And Duo complaining. Yes, I had actually gotten back to sleep last night. The latté must have helped some.
"Man, I feel like a well-walked road," Duo moaned. I looked at him.
"You know, it might help if you didn't sleep on a bed of rocks."
"What do you mean by that?"
"Your mattress is as hard as a slate table." I poked it, and it didn't sink in one bit.
"Well, you don't exactly sleep on a bed of roses yourself," he retorted. And he was right, too. The mattresses the school had supplied were very hard.
Something moaned behind me. I turned and looked, and a small, orange and blue Furby was sitting on my desk. I looked at Duo. "What is this thing doing here?"
Duo grinned. "I borrowed it from Toys R Us." He picked up the fuzzy creature. "His name's Bob!"
"Bob?!" From what I heard, Furbies had their own names. But Bob...? "Why did you steal it?"
"So I could kill it." I saw that gleam in his eyes. Oh God.
"Duo...calm down...please!" It was too late, though. My efforts were wasted. Duo had already thrown the Gremlin-esque creature across the room.
"Whee," said the Furby.
"Watch this!"
"No Duo! Don't!" Crash. Thud. The Furby was now lying upside down, on it's head, on the floor. It was emitting a high-pitched noise that wouldn't stop. [1] I turned to Duo, holding my ears. He was doing the same. "Get it out of here!"
"What?"
I just motioned to the window. He got the idea and threw the Furby out the window, falling 2 stories to it's death, or more accurately, destruction.
"Thank God that's over." Duo sat on his bed. I glanced towards the calendar.
"Tomorrow's the last day of school," I sighed. We had only arrived here a month ago, but I was glad it was over. School never was, and never will be my cup of tea. [2]
"Heero said we're going on vacation the day after." Duo grinned. "We're going camping. For a whole week!"
Oh God. A whole week? In the wilderness? Stuck with Duo? I'm the only one who can really tolerate his personality, but sometimes even I get tired of it. I decided to make him happy. "Sounds like fun."
"Yeah! And Hee-kun said that I was going to share a tent with you!" Oh goodie. I'm so excited.
"Yeah. Lots of fun."
*****
A few days later I found myself sitting in the back seat of a van, next to Wu Fei. Wu Fei was sleeping, and I was reading. Duo sat in the middle seat because no one dared to sit next to him. Heero was driving and Trowa was telling him which way to go.
I was reading a very intriguing novel called Kuchibue ga Kikoeru.[3] It was about a young man with the power of a great black dragon who was on a journey to rescue his beautiful sister from the evil clutches of a demon king. Duo got it for me for my birthday. He's really into medieval stuff, I guess.
"Hey! It's a monster!" Duo shouted from the seat ahead of me. I looked out the window, but all I could see was a deer.
"Duo, that's a deer. Not a monster," I replied. Trowa snickered from the driver's seat.
"You don't get out much, do you Duo?" Trowa asked. Duo just gave him a cold look.
"Omae o Korusu..." he muttered. Heero looked confused.
"Hey, that's my line..."
*****
About 2 hours later, we finally arrived at the forest we were going to camp in. It was in the eastern outskirts of Tokyo, and we lived in the western outskirts. Heero drove a little ways into the forest before coming to a clearing with a well-used fire pit. He parked the van, and Duo jumped out.
"Alright alright alright!" he yelled. Wow. He's excited.
"Calm down, Duo," Heero said from the driver's side of the van. "It's a clearing. So what? We hide our Gundams in clearings so often you shouldn't be surprised to see one."
"You're right. I shouldn't be surprised to see it, should I, Hee-kun?"
"Please don't call me that, Duo."
"Ok, Hee-kun!" Heero sighed. Duo hopped to the back of the van (and I mean literally hopping to the van)and began pulling stuff out of the trunk, just dumping everything that wasn't his on the ground.
"You're so considerate of other's possessions, Duo," Trowa said as he climbed out of the van. Duo pulled some more bags and rolled-up tents out.
"Hey! My M&Ms!" He huggled several small, dark brown bags.
"Duo, it's just M&Ms..." I said. He just looked at me funny and ran off into the woods. "Where's he going?"
"Probably to eat his candy in silence and isolation," Wu Fei commented as he stretched. "You know how he gets when he has sugar."
"Hey, Quatre. Come help me with this tent," Trowa yelled.
"Sure thing." I turned to help him set the tent up.
*****
A couple of hours later, we had finished setting up the tents. Heero had built us a decent fire in the fire pit, and Wu Fei was fixing us some of his special recipe Chinese. Duo had yet to return from his M&Ms 'Fest.
"Quatre, has Duo come back yet?" Heero asked me.
"Not yet. I'm getting worried."
Wu Fei called from the fire pit. "It's almost ready!"
Heero looked me in the eyes. "I'll tell you what. You and Trowa go look for Duo. Wu Fei and I will stay here in case he comes back on his own."
"Alright, Heero. Will do." I looked around for Trowa. I looked at his tent and saw his tall, lean form silhouetted by the setting sun. I ran to his tent and opened the flap. "Trowa?"
He looked up from his book. "Yes? Oh, it's you, Quatre."
"Trowa? It's so dark in here. How can you read in the dark?"
"I have really good night vision. A flashlight ruins it."
"Oh. Well, Heero says that me and you have to go look for Duo. He hasn't come back yet, and we're getting worried."
"Alright." Without another word he set the book down and came out of the tent.
*****
We walked through many bushes before we came to the creek bed. My clothes were slightly torn from a wild rose bush and brambles dotted my shirt. Way before we emerged from the underbrush, we could hear maniacal giggling. We pushed our way through, and Duo sat at the edge of the creek, a few bags of M&Ms scattered around him. He just sat giggling, and every now and then, he would shove a large handful of M&Ms into his mouth. I mean overflowing full.
"Duo!" I yelled as Trowa and I ran to him. "Where have you been?!"
Duo looked up at me. "KitKat! TroTro! Heyas!"
Trowa fidgeted behind me. "He's on a sugar high."
"And he's not coming down anytime soon." I eyed a rock. "You think if we knocked him out, he would come down sooner?"
"Maybe. It's not like we'll do any damage to his head." I laughed as Trowa picked up the rock. "San, ni, ichi!" And with that, the rock came on Duo's head, but not hard enough to kill him. He lay on the ground, unconscious and with spirals for eyes. Without a word, we picked him up and carried him back to camp.
*****
"But still, it was no reason to hit me in the head with a rock..." Duo whined as he rubbed his sore head.
"I told you Duo, we're sorry, but it had to be done." Trowa piled some chicken lo mein on his fork and stuck it in his mouth.
"Besides, you would have been just a little bit too hard to handle," I said. Duo pushed some rice around on his plate.
"I still have a headache though." Wu Fei laughed at him.
"Need some aspirin, Duo?" He gave Wu Fei a Heero Yuy Death Glare(TM).
"I'm fine, Wu Fei. No aspirin is needed." He laughed.
"Hn. Looks like you're finally back to your old self, Duo," Heero said smugly.
"Heh. Yeah, I guess so."
*****
That night, I couldn't get to sleep. Sure, out in the wilderness, you'd think that the forest sounds would help. But I couldn't fall asleep. I got up, climbed over Duo's sleeping form, and went outside.
The moon was full. It seemed so close. Like I could just reach up and touch it. I reached up, but to no prevail. I let my arm down.
Something rustled behind me, but I dismissed it as a forest animal. Then, something grabbed my neck and clamped a hand over my mouth. Something, cold and hard hit me on the head, and I fell unconscious.
[1] This actually happened. I was playing with my brother's Furby Baby and I dropped it on accident. The thing just wouldn't shut up!
[2] Ha! Cup of tea...::QnM is too happy with herself for making that up:: Get it? Quatre drinks tea! ^^
[3] This is Jaganshi Hiei's image song. Hiei is from an anime I really like called Yu Yu Hakusho, or Poltergeist Report.
Part 3 coming soon! Oooh, I can't stand the suspense! (((_^
