New Company
The five males walked calmly through the forest, having finally found themselves used to it's
black leaves, the colour, although natural, making them look as though they had been charred
in some battle long gone. Quatre was holding onto Duo's arm, Juunanagou walking next to
them, getting many glances from the ever caring Quatre, reassuring himself that his new
friend was alright. Behind them trod the silent Wufei and Vegeta, both seeming deep in
thought.
"You know what!" Duo said brightly "that bat-human-thing said that the others may still
exist! So maybe I can still find Heero, and you can find Trowa.. Hell maybe we can find them
all, even the companions of yours and that stranger back there!" Duo directed his last
sentence towards the android, who glanced up from his steady gaze on the ground.
"You mean…. We might be able to find our friends.. our worlds again?" Duo nodded. Quatre
was smiling now, most likely thinking of his lost companion Trowa, his closest friend, his soul
mate. Vegeta spoke for the first time.
"Don't mind me for ruining the mood - but how exactly do we plan to do that?" Wufei glanced
sideways at the brooding prince, but Juunanagou spoke up before he could.
"Well…. You can sense ki. Why not find some form of life, I think that would be a good way
to start." Vegeta paused.
"Well….. there seems to be some sort of life in that direction." He pointed ahead of them.
"Well fine. Lets go." Juunanagou grinned, as the group set off on a journey.
An hour later, the group found themselves outside a small hut. Ear piercing screams were
heard from inside, causing everyone, even the bravest of warriors, in the group to pause.
Vegeta raised a palm, and shot a small ki blast, disintegrating the door, revealing a horrific
sight. A girl, blood running down her face, her arms, her chest, her thighs, was laying on the
ground, seemingly knocked out. Standing next to her, some twisted creature, perhaps once
human, but now just a fraction of it's past showing. It's skin was wrinkled, yet shining with
visible grease, or perhaps this illusion was created by the saliva dripping from it's mouth,
covering it's yellowish skin, the black, bruise like markings all over its body shining in the
light. Two others of its kind were with it. The first one grunted.
"Well… I'll have her first. She can't move with the stuff we put in her, she won't put up much
of a struggle." He snorted, as he dropped to his knees, crawling over to her. He grabbed
both her knees, pulling her legs apart roughly. She struggled slightly, seeming drowsy in her
movements.
"No.." she whispered, barely audible above their noises. The creature ignored her, as it
seemed to drool more in anticipation, the other ones pushing around next to it, awaiting their
turn. Vegeta stormed forward, pulling one of the other creatures back, and punching it in
the face, sending it reeling backwards. The other turned round, only to came face to face
with Juunanagou's palm, an artificial ki blast already being created. The first one ignored the
commotion behind it, concentrating only on the task at hand. That is until he found Wufei's
sword at his throat, pulling him upwards.
"You disgust me. You are weak in your actions, raping a creature, the lowest form of attack,
who you have already drugged. I hope you rot in hell." The creature laughed.
"Boy, you must be new around here, or else you would know that this is hell." Wufei narrowed
his eyes, and with a flick of his wrist impaled the creature through it's chest. It gasped
slightly, a greenish substance, presumably it's blood, leaking from the wound. He pulled his
sword out, standing in a fighting stance for a moment, before the creature dropped to the
ground. Now assured the fight was over, he stood upright, and wiped his sword clean against
the material of his already dirtied clothing. Vegeta and Juunanagou had long disposed of the
other two creatures, the only clue of their existence now being a pile of dust, mingling with
dirt on the ground. The girl seemed to have awoken during this short duel, and was now
sitting in a corner, hugging her knees to her chest, her eyes wide. Duo walked towards her.
"Hey, it's ok now lady." She growled slightly, but only Vegeta seemed to notice this, his acute
saiyan hearing working fine.
"Stay away from me…" she whispered again, still only audible to Vegeta, who considered
warning the braided boy, but eventually decided against it, interested to see the outcome of
this.
"Everything's fine now.." he soothed as he walked towards her. Finally she snapped, her eyes
narrowing. She leapt up, her foot landing against Duo's chin, knocking him to the ground.
Before the boy had time to react, she had grabbed the scythe like weapon that hung around
her back and pinned him to the floor, it's blade against his throat.
"I am not weak! I don't need protection! I have survived long enough without needing a
rescue squad!!" She yelled, causing Duo to wince.
"I'm sorry! Just let me go!!" he yelled back. She jumped up, allowing him to breathe. After
shaking herself off, removing dust from her clothing, she seemingly danced up to the saiyan
and the android, kissing them both on the cheek.
"This is to thank you for helping me though!" she turned to Wufei. "And to thank you
especially -" she was cut short as the Chinese boy simply raised his hand towards her.
"I don't need your gratitude." He turned away. She scratched her head. Vegeta and
Juunanagou exchanged confused glances, Vegeta very taken back by this outburst of
friendliness and Juunanagou just confused.
"So… where are you guys going?" she chirped, everyone else looking slightly scared by this
sudden change of personality.
"Well… umm.. we are not quite sure ourselves.." Quatre sighed. She let out a large grin.
"Me neither! Mind if I tag along??" Quatre smiled warmly.
"Of course not! Maybe you can even help us find a way around this place." She grinned.
"Hey I'm happy to help…." Vegeta stormed over to the girl, insisting upon examining her
weapon, whilst Duo happily talked with her and Quatre. Only Juunanagou seemed to notice
Wufei slowly creeping out the door. He shot a glance back at the small group before deciding
to follow the Chinese boy, finding himself very curious about the boy. Something about his
eyes….. he shook his head and ran out the now demolished door.
"Hey -wait up!" he yelled, chasing after Wufei, who was now running, trying to get as far
away from this place as possible. Growling at being ignored, Juunanagou flew into the air,
landing in-front of Wufei, preventing him from moving forward anymore.
"What's wrong…?" he asked, only to gasp as the boy looked up, a tear running down his face.
"She looked like Meiran…" he sighed.
Duo suddenly looked up.
"Hey, where's that black haired guy… and Wufei?"
