Chapter 3 - Chaos
I woke with a start the next morning and looked up with groggy eyes. I saw that I was still holding onto Hiiros hand, 'he must've found it comforting.' I thought as I stretched out the kinks in my neck. I tried to stay as still as possible while doing so, trying not to wake him up, but I failed.
"You're still here?" He asked, a hint of surprise in his voice.
"I said I wouldn't leave, I never back down on my word." I told him as he sat up and let go of my hand.
"That song... the lullaby, what is it called?" Hiiro asked as he looked at me.
"It's a song that my mother sang to. It's "I'm Gonna Fly" by Sydney Forest." I replied standing up and stretching. I watched his out of the corner of my eye. He just kept looking at me like I was Satan himself. "What?" I finally asked as I put my arms back down at my side.
"That scar. Is it from when your parents were killed?" He asked still looking at me.
"Scar?" I questioned, then my facial expression changed, "Oh, this." I said as I pulled up the bottom of my shirt to reveal a two inch long scar. It wasn't a deep cut, but there was one there. "No, I got it in battle. I was trying to dodge some things that an idiot was throwing and a bullet grazed my stomach." I replied.
"Wow, I think that's the most that he's ever talked." A voice said from outside the door. Hiiro and I both turned to look at it.
"Duo." We said in unison. I walked to the door quietly and opened it. A braided haired baka fell into the room by my feet.
"Baka." I muttered, sighing. I stepped over him and walked back to my room, soon after I'd gotten in there did I hear a crash and a yelp. I rolled my eyes and stepped into my shower.

I walked downstairs wearing a loose baby blue tee shirt and tight sweatpants. I hadn't bothered to put my hair in a ponytail since I didn't plan on going anywhere in general. When I got to the kitchen I stopped dead, there was a brown haired baka sitting at the table surrounded by tons of food and the rest of the kitchen looked like a hurricane had passed threw.
"Duo!" I heard someone exclaim from behind me. I turned quickly, trying not to hit the person with my hair.
"Qu-kun!" Duo said with food hanging from his mouth.
"Guys are disgusting." I muttered as I grabbed the bagels and some coffee from the table. As I was walking to the other room to eat in there, Hiiro passed me.
"Not all guys, just Duo." He whispered so that only I could hear it. I stifled a laugh and continued to the dining room. I sat in a chair with one of my feet up on the edge and I thought.
~Flashback~
'Destroy Ririna Peacecraft. Leave no remains, nor clues to her destruction. Make it neat, like it was an OZ bombing.' The paper that was inside the manila folder read. "Oi. Kill the onore? That'll be fun." I said to myself.
~End flashback~
"Do you always space out like that?" I heard someone ask me. I realized that I had my coffee cup halfway to my mouth. I looked up and saw Hiiro sitting down in the seat across from me.
"Err, no, I was just thinking." I replied, finally taking that sip of coffee. For the duration of the time we sat there in silence. I sighed again before letting my gaze wonder around the room. I saw that Wufei was scowling at the TV, Trowa and Quatre heading into the music room. Soon I heard a song being played by a flute and violin. Duo could be heard laughing at something and a paper being sifted threw, I figured that he was reading the comic section of the newspaper. I looked back to Hiiro to see him watching me, 'Kami, I hate when people do that.' I thought.
"Lets go." He said to me. I nodded at got up, putting my hair in a tight bun with the rubber band that was on my wrist. We walked out the door and heard Duo ask us where we were going.
