~*~*Chapter 2*~*~
Months later...
She walked down the street as thoughts ran threw her mind. She was still in her work clothes. It was a dark navy blue uniform that had dark gold things on it. A black trench coat went over her.
'Is there going to be any rest in my mind to where I can find answers? I want to learn. To know more than be a woman that they want easy answers from. There is more to me that to be used.' she thought and then she lost it by being bumped.
"Sorry babe." said a firmiliar voice that she knew.
"Excuse me?" she asked turning around. The man turned to her. He wore black pants, brown shoes, a light orange sweater with black trench coat on. She reconized that voice, those eyes. It finally clicked.
"Duo Maxwell." she gasped. She was pulled into the black alley quickly with a hand over her mouth.
"Shhhh." he said with a finger over his lips. She gazed at him with wide eyes. He grabbed her hand and pulled her along with him as they ran down the alley. They stopped at the end of it where he looked around. The street was empty.
"Where are you taking me?" she asked him. He held up a hand and then had her run across the street with him quickly. They went down the alley again but a different one. He opened a door, put her in quickly, and then shut, locking it. His hand went over her mouth as footsteps came closer. They stopped and then left shortly. She was lead close by to him where they went down a long hall way. He came to another door where he opened it. It was a lit room. Black carpet, black leather couch. Another room was over to the left. The kitchen to the right. Straight was another door. A computer was against the wall. He took her and sat her down on the couch. He stood in front of her.
"What all do you know about everything." he said in a serious tone.
"Too much I suppose." she said looking at him scared, cold, and confused.
"Well that helps much." said Duo rolling his eyes.
"Alright. I have everything at home to which I have been the only one to see. The attacks that you use, when you use them, how powerful your Gundam is. I have all of your back ground on what happened to your younger life and how you first became a Gundam Pilot. I know where you could be, where you go, where your central base is to where you rest at. I have the same information on the other Gundam Pilots as well." said Makoto looking to the ground.
"So they know our every move? That's just great." said Duo sitting down next to her.
"No they don't." she said quietly.
"Then where are they files?" asked Duo looking at her. She looked over at him.
"With me." said Makoto.
"Let me have it." said Duo standing up. She took off her trench coat, then the dark navy blue jacket. She unbuttoned the bottom buttons. She opened that part of her shirt to she her stomach to which she had taped a disk with plastic around it. She took it off slowly so that she didn't hurt her skin. She had her hand out holding to and waiting for him to take it. She was looking at the ground as if it was her life to her. He waited a couple minutes and then she looked up at him.
"Are you going to take it or not?" she asked. He looked at her for a minute and then finally took it out of her hand. She brought her shaking hand back to her. She buttoned her shirt back up and stood there. He clutched it in his hand.
"This has to be destroyed." said Duo. She was right next to him then with her hands holding onto the sleeve to his coat. She was looking up at him.
"Please don't destroy it. It would have been all those years of working for nothing." she said with water forming in her eyes.
"You shouldn't have made this. It has to go." said Duo. Her hands let go of his coat and went around his arm instead.
"I'm won't let you." she said with her head against his arm.
"What are you going to do?" asked Duo.
"I'm trying to do that right now." she said as some tears came rolling down her cheeks. He let out a sigh.
"Now don't you start crying." said Duo looking at her.
"Promise me that you won't destroy it. I know a place where it can be hidden to which we will be the only ones to know." said Makoto.
"Where?" asked Duo looking down at her again.
"In the air vent. It wouldn't be found there." she said.
"Alright." said Duo as she let go of his arm. He walked over to the vent where he opened it and then taped it to the side. He closed it and turned to her. She wasn't there. The door was open and he heard footsteps running down the long hall. She had left her jacket and coat. He sat down and looked threw it. He found an application to a different place on another coloney. He looked at the address and smiled.
"Bingo." he said and then left shutting the door behind him...... She raced up the stairs and pulled her keys out of her pocket. Her hand trembled as she finally then gave up. She dropped her keys on the ground and left them. She heard footsteps coming up the stairs. She went over to the rail to look down. He was coming up the stairs. She thought and then decided to take her hair down. Her long hair fell down with curls here and there. It finally rested at the middle of her thigh. She walked so that her back was toward him. She walked as normally as she could and then he was on the same floor as her. She heard footsteps coming up the stairs. She looked at her watch.
'Minako-chan is coming home and he's here. When she sees me, she's going to say who I am and he's going to find out where she lives as well. I got myself into something that I should have left alone. Both of us are the only ones that know what's really on that disk.' thought Makoto standing there. Minako made it up to the floor with something in her arms.
"Hi Duo." she said as if it was like nothing. He turned with this strange look on his face. She pulled out her keys and unlocked her door. She opened it slightly.
"Do you know where Makoto is by any chance?" asked Duo.
"Yeah. Right there." said Minako pointing to where she stood. Makoto turned around letting her hair swing around behind her. She pushed Minako into the apartment and shut the door quickly after her. A knock came on the door.
"I'll get it." said Minako.
"No! Minako, you that disk that we made together? They have it and they're going to make sure that we're not alive to say anything." said Makoto looking at her.
"Makoto! You let them get the disk!?! How could you? Now you're the one in trouble about this." said Minako looking at her.
"Actually, both of you are the ones in trouble." reminded Duo.
"Now I'm the one that in trouble as well? I told you to leave it alone ever since we were young to leave it alone! Look what you've done!" said Minako.
"Nobody move and you won't get hurt." said a male voice. Minako whirrled around and froze. A man with short blonde hair, soft green eyes, stood there was a gun pointed. He was in brown pants with a red shirt. There was a gun shot that took off the door handle. Makoto and Minako quickly jumped up against a wall so not to get hit. The door opened.
"Heero, that gun of yours can come in handy some times." said Duo as they walked in. A man with short dark brown hair and pursian blue eyes walked in. He had on a green tank top, and black spandex shorts.
"They should be killed." his deep voice said as the door was shut.
"There is no need for this violnece Heero. We could take them back to the Saint Kingdom on Earth where Relena Peacecraft will keep them." said the blonde hair man.
"Or Quatre, we could just leave them at your mansion. No one would look there." said Duo.
"I say that you guys go away and we can live in our own apartments." smiled Minako. Duo started to laugh.
"What?" asked Minako. Makoto's hand slowly inched it's way over to the alarm by the corner of the wall. Duo grabbed her wrist.
"Don't make me seriously mad, if you want to live for long." said Duo.
"Lets go. The police are here." said a man with black hair and black eyes. He was in jean pants, a blue shirt, and a jacket. They went over to the window where they were to take that route out of the building. The two girls were pushed out the window to where two men waited and then the others followed.
"Minako, on the last stair case, jump and run. I'll have to run back up to get some things out of my apartment." whispered Makoto. She nodded. They came to it. Minako quickly went over to bar like she had learned in training and jumped to the ground. The two men that they had met outside and Heero, jumped to go get her. Makoto quickly run up while the other two looked at the chase.
"Duo. She's getting away." said Quatre.
"Now I'm mad." he said racing up the stairs after her. She quickly opened the window to her apartment and closed it. She turned on the light and made it to her room. She heard glass shatter. She quickly hide some disks under the floor board and then she placed her labtop there too. She put the board back and put the carpet back. She quickly slid half way under her bed as if trying to get something. She reached a box and pulled out an object. It was a self destruct thing. She was quickly pulled out. She dropped the object under her bed so that he couldn't get it. She was quickly pulled to her feet.
"I had to get something." said Makoto trying to make an excuse.
"Then where is it?" asked Duo.
"I really didn't need it." said Makoto going for the door.
"Lets go." said Duo grabbing her by the arm. They came to the broken window.
"Thanks a lot for the window." said Makoto.
"Your welcome." said Duo pushing her threw it and then him to follow. They made it back down to the other Gundam Pilots where Minako was held in the arms of Quatre.
"What did you do to her?" asked Makoto being held back by her upper arms.
"Trowa, you know what to do." said Quatre looking at him. He pulled out a cloth and put it over her mouth and nose. She finally breathed it in letting her eyes close to the darkness.
"Nice one Trowa. Now no more problems." said Duo picking her up. They got into the car and then left
......Spacecraft For Earth.......
Minako awoke first. They were laying on the ground in a cold room. She staggered to her feet and then went to the door. She opened it and then was slammed into the wall from someone steering the ship wrongly. She could see Makoto's arm as she laid up against the wall. Her arm was blocking the door from slamming shut. She got up once more and then walked down the hall slowly. She came to where all the noise was. She could hear mostly Duo's voice over all of them laughing. She came into the room and took a seat.
"Man, you look like you have a hangover!" laughed Duo.
"You're going to be hanging over to the toliet barfing once I'm done with you!" said Minako glaring at him. He shut up.
"Where's Makoto Miss Minako?" asked Quatre.
"She's asleep still. She won't be up for a while." said Minako. Minako heard some evil laughing. She looked at Duo.
"Did you do that?" asked Minako.
"It wasn't me!" said Duo.
"Mako-chan." said Minako springing to her feet and running down the hall. She heard another evil laugh. Quickly, the light came on.
"There's something wrong with that girl. She has an evil laugh." said Duo.
"That's because she's thinking of how to kill you." said Minako looking over at him. He smiled slightly.
"That's if I don't kill her first." said Duo with a joking laugh.
"Mako-chan. Wake-up!" said Minako shaking her.
"Minako-chan. Shhhh! I'm killing someone." said Makoto with her eyes closed and then the evil laugh came once again.
"Who did you kill?" asked Minako.
"Awww. Come on. That dude should have been dead." said Makoto with a fruserated look on her face.
"Mako-chan! Did you kill Duo?" asked Minako sending a smile at him.
"Minako-chan. I've told you a thousand and two times that he's too cute to kill." said Makoto with a smile.
"Mako-chan. It's time to get up." said Minako.
"That's if I could." said Makoto.
"What do you mean?" asked Minako.
"I hurt all over like I've been crushed by something." said Makoto opening her eyes and blowing the hair out of her face.
"Well, you were thrown into the wall because someone wasn't driving the ship correctly." said Minako.
"Actually, we hit something." said Duo.
"If I can't walk, that person that's driving is dead." said Makoto as Minako helped her up.
"Heero is driving." said Duo.
"Did I say he was dead? I'd be dead first." said Makoto as she was back on the ground.
"Come on Mako-chan. You have to be able to get yourself down the hall to where people are." said Minako.
"And do what? Lay on the ground?" asked Makoto.
"Fine. I'm dragging you." said Minako. She took her by the arms and started pulling.
"Minako! You're going to pull my arms out of my sockets." said Makoto looking at her.
"Let me take the babe. It's easier." said Duo picking her up.
"Minako. You'll have to crack my back." said Makoto.
"Later." said Minako.
"Kay." said Makoto. They finally came to the room where Makoto was laid down.
"What happened?" asked Quatre.
"Stupid Heero hit something with the ship which sent the girls flying into the walls." said Duo. Heero walked into the room.
"We didn't hit anything. We were entering the Earths atmosphere. I've just landed at the Saint Kingdom. Lets go." said Heero. Minako pushed Makoto to sit up. There was a ripple of cracks up and down her back. Minako moved her neck gently cracking it was well.
"Minako, I love you so much right now. I really needed that." said Makoto looking at her with her head leaning back.
"My hands feel funny now. You haven't had your back do that for years." said Minako.
"I know." said Makoto. She picked herself up slowly.
"If only my butt didn't hurt." she muttered.
"Thanks a lot Minako. There goes my fun." said Duo crossing his arms and getting a pouty face one. Makoto mouthed out ,'Isn't that cute?'
"You know Mako-chan. You should be walking since I just cracked your back. I'd have to crack your back all over again." said Minako.
"I save the day once again." grinned Duo.
"Come on and lets go." said Quatre coming back to them. Duo picked her up.
"Now this is what I call a free ride." said Makoto with a smile.
