"When I was... ten..." Megami sobbed brokenly, "I went t-to... the Alliance's base... And I got c- caught in a huge... explosion... I-I died and... I came back to life..."
Duo hugged her tighter, "How did you come back to life?"
Megami's shoulders shook with each sob. "I-I... can't tell you that..."
Duo shook his head and picked up a strip of cloth, he dried Megami's eyes. Megami looked at him with her eyes wide open, full of tears, pain, and unspoken words. Don't let him ask anything else, please Kami-sama... don't let him ask me more.> She closed her eyes and rested her head on his chest. "...This doesn't change anything..." She whispered as she fell asleep.
"MAXWELL!! What took you so long? You're two hours late! AND WHY IS
THAT ONNA STILL HOLDING ON TO YOU?!?!"
"...Will you shut up? I can't walk so he's helping me! THAT'S ALL!!"
Megami shouted at Wufei, blushing slightly.
"Duo, Dr. G wants you to call him after dinner."
"Okay Heero. How's Quatre?"
"He's fine. But it looks like he won't be able to pilot Sandrock for
a while. What's she doing here? Didn't you kill her?"
"Long story. Lets just say she might stay here for a little bit."
"Can one of you get my Gundam? I need to get something out of it."
Trowa nodded and went to his Gundam and took off.
"What do you need from it?" Heero asked, with his hand on his gun just
in case she tried anything.
"I have a medicine that is supposed to be able to heal anything. Maybe
it can get my legs working again or heal this 'Quatre' person."
Heero grunted and took his hand away from his gun. "Follow me. Duo,
you need to see what happened to Quatre."
Duo shrugged and followed with Megami. They made their way to a room
with a blond boy lying on a bed, with a huge bandage over his arm and across
his head. He was unconscious.
Megami put her hand on his head and sighed, "The poor little guy. He
needs the potion way more than me..." ...Not that I need it at all,
I just need some time alone so I can heal myself.> She thought inwardly.
During the next three hours they ate lunch, Megami almost killed Wufei, and Trowa brought her Gundam to her. Duo took her to the room Quatre was in then left. Megami closed the curtains. She looked sadly at the fifteen year old blonde, "Poor guy, you need this potion right now, but if you see me transform I'll never hear the end of it." Megami took the vile and opened Quatre's mouth. She poured the liquid in. Not waiting to see if it worked she threw herself into her magic.
In an hour she came out of the tiny room and went to find Duo. "Hey,
Death, that Quatre guy's going to be alright. He's sleeping right now so
tell the other guys to keep away from his room."
"Megami, you're walking again!" He hugged her, "Wow, that potion must
be really powerful!"
"Y-yeah... Hey, is Death your real name?"
"No, my real name is Duo Maxwell. But in battle I go by Death."
Heero walked up and Duo immediately let Megami go. "Megami, you've
got something in your hair." He pulled a golden feather from behind her
head, "Where might you have gotten this?"
"I... I don't know." Megami said, panicking.
"Really? There are no birds in space, especially not GOLD birds."
"Er... I..." Megami started, backing away from Heero.
"God, Heero! Be nicer to Megami! She hasn't done anything except be
a member of OZ."
"And that's not bad? Duo, do you like her or something? She worked
for OZ, she might try to double cross us. So STOP protecting her!"
"Megami won't do that! Right, Megami?" Duo turned, but Megami was nowhere
to be seen. Her footsteps echoed down the hall. "Megami? Come back!"
"I'll never get their trust. OZ was hard enough, but that Heero might
be trouble for me..."
"Megami, I brought you dinner." Duo said, handing her a tray and sitting
down next to her.
"Thanks Duo. What's Heero's problem? Does he not like girls? Or is
that Wufei?"
"Wufei doesn't like girls. Heero doesn't trust ANYBODY. Not even me,
really. So don't worry about him. He'll get used to you."
"I hope so. I can't believe I'm so tired..." She rested her head on
his shoulder, I guess I used too much power in keeping Quatre from
seeing me...> "...And in transforming..."
"Hm? Transforming into what, Megami?"
"...Nothing, Duo... nothing..."
Wufei crept behind the two and fastened a pair of handcuffs around
their wrists, then he ran off.
Megami and Duo heard Wufei's retreating footsteps and jumped up, their
hands banged together. "What in seven hells?!" Megami shouted, looking
at her wrist.

Ok, Wufei was NOT in character. I know that. But was Heero? What is
Megami talking about? What 'transformation'? Where did that feather come
from? Will I ever finish this? Do they like eachother?
