Megami stirred. Her arms were tied behind her back and her neck hurt.
A lot. "Unnn... Where am I? ...Oh! What the?! Why won't my arms move?!"
Duo came over and stuffed a wad of cloth in her mouth, "Would ya please
be quiet? I'm trying to find a way for you to get a safe place to stay
and you're screaming an' shouting so I can't work."
Megami glared at him, Damn you, 'Death!' You caught me off guard!
I can't believe it!>
Duo smiled sweetly, "You don't look too happy. D' ya want me to take
that gag out?"
Another death glare from Megami.
"Here, let me get that for you, Meg." Duo pulled the gag from her mouth.
"...What did you just call me...?" She said, shaking with anger.
"Meg."
"Don't call me that, you!!" She pushed her face almost against his,
"You're my enemy. And even if you're remotely kind to me, we're still enemies.
And I will kill you, someday."
Duo laughed, almost hysterically, "You sound like Heero. And with that
glare," He wiped her hair from her eyes, "You look a lot less cute them
when you were asleep."
She blushed slightly, "What? Why are you being so nice to me?! We're
enemies!"
He sat in his chair, "Sister Helen said I should be nice to girls.
And, unless you plan to prove otherwise, I'm gonna have to assume that
you're a girl."
"How did you know my name?" Megami hissed through clenched teeth.
"I downloaded OZ's files on you. I don't think you's like to know some
of the stuff they've got about you."
Her eyes widened, "They put that up there?"
"No idea where they got that information, or the picture. Heero just
downloaded it for me."
Megami turned away and sulked. Great, the guys weren't kidding
when they said they'd submit it to the Colonel.> After a few minutes her
stomach growled. Oops, I didn't have breakfast today. If I get out
of this mess I'll never sleep through morning rations again!>
The Gundam began to rock wildly, and she felt the ropes loosen, some
sharp metal object had fallen and cut part of her bindings. Megami wriggled
until the ropes were off of her and got up. Almost silently she got up
with a piece of the rope and walked toward Duo. Another jolt from the outside.
Duo cursed. "...Dammit, the gravity's been switched off!" And it had, Megami
floated above Duo's head with the rope, smirking. Death dies too. I
already died once, and I'm not gonna do it again...> Just then the gravity
kicked back in, and Megami fell into Duo's arms!
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What in the WORLD does Megami mean, "I already died once"??? Why was
Duo so nice to her? It wasn't just because Sister Helen told him to, if
that's what you're thinking! Will Megami ever learn Duo's name? DOES IT
MAKE ANY SENSE YET?!?!?! Who is the Darkness and who is the Light?? Remember
to R+R, part 3 is on the way!
