Author's Notes: Nothing to say. This is my next chapter.
Chapter Four
Usagi just went back to reading her book. Her next
class was in about an hour, so she sat and read for the rest of the time
while the five guys, well Duo and Quatre talked. They all decided to walk
to the school together, when they saw Relena coming towards them half way
to the school.
"Heeeeeeeeeerrrrrrooooo!" Relena called. She didn't
hug him this time, seeing Usagi.
"What do you want, Relena?" Heero asked.
"How would you like to come with me on a night on
the town Friday night?" Relena asked, actually pleaded.
"No," was all Heero said.
"Fine. But if you still want to come, then call
me," Relena said in her sexiest voice, which wasn't exactly sexy. "I'm
going to walk the rest of the way with you guys, okay?"
They didn't answer, so Relena suspected that they
wouldn't mind.
When they got to the school, they went to all their
classes. After school, Usagi decided to go to the school gym to train some
more. Wufei had also decided to go to the gym, but they didn't exactly
know that the other was going. When they arrived at the gym, they changed
in the locker rooms, and when they got out, Usagi said the first words.
(A.N.: I know, this paragraph sucks big time. Just bear with me, okay?)
"Do you want to spar?" she asked in monotone. (A.N.:
I'm sorry to the person who is being driven nuts by the word
'monotone' and by the fact that Heero and Usagi speak only that way. It's
just their personality.)
"Not against a weak onna like you. I'd have too
much of an advantage. It wouldn't be just," Wufei said with a smirk.
"I have to admit that some women are weak, but I'm
not some women. Now let's spar. If you win, you can tell all your friends
on how you are the greatest fighter and that you proved a woman weak. If
I win, you cannot call me weak, and I will not call you weak or tell anyone
about this incident because I have too much of an advantage," Usagi said
in a slightly competitive monotone. The competitive part was not even noticeable.
Wufei nodded his head, went to the center of the
mat, and took a fighting stance. Usagi did the same. They bowed, and then
started fighting. Wufei made the first move, a kick, but Usagi caught it.
She flipped him around, but he caught himself midair. When he was going
to attack again, she flipped over behind him. He turned around, and both
of them started a series of fast punches, kicks, and other moves. It went
on for about fifteen minutes, one making a move, the other dodging and
returning with their own move, the other catching and retuning, and so
on. It seemed that when one was gaining control, the other took it back.
After another five minutes, Wufei started to slow down a little, while
Usagi stayed at her incredibly fast pace. Finally, Usagi got Wufei by stopping
her fist millimeters from his face. She declared herself the winner.
"Never take your eyes off the enemy, for any reason.
Try not to show that you're slowing down. I noticed it immediately. The
enemy might be slowing down, but you have keep your eyes open to notice
how they're getting slower, and what their weak spots would be. If you
show that you're getting slower, and that you have lost focus on your opponent,
they might just get you when you least expect it," Usagi advised. She picked
up her towel, and headed for the locker room where she would gather her
clothes, and take a shower at home. Wufei was left in the gym, stunned
that he had finally been beat, either by man or woman. 'She was right.
Some women are weak, but she is not one of those women,' Wufei thought.
He went towards the locker rooms to shower and change.
Usagi had gotten to the dorm at this point. She
wanted to take a nice hot bath. When she went in, no one was home, so she
got undressed, started the water, and jumped in (A.N.: Well, not literally.).
Usagi had closed the curtain and door, but didn't lock it, thinking that
Heero wouldn't come back for a while.
Heero had come back from running outside to keep
in shape. 'I don't think that Usagi is home. I think I'll take a shower.'
Heero went and got undressed, and luckily, he had a towel over himself.
He went into the restroom, and not hearing anything because Usagi was very
quiet and was taking a bath so running water wasn't heard, he opened the
curtain. It took all their strengths to not scream. Usagi had been taking
a huge bubble bath with a lot of bubbles, so she wasn't seen. Heero closed
the curtain, and went outside the restroom, while Usagi blushed like a
tomato in the bath. She couldn't hold the blush back. Outside, Heero was
blushing as well. He couldn't keep it back either, no matter how much training
he had had. Usagi had her robe in the bathroom, so she quickly drained
the tub, rinsed and dried herself, put on her robe, made sure she wasn't
blushing and was back to her normal color, and went outside. Heero had
also made sure that he was back to normal, at least in color.
"Um…cough> you can use the bathroom now," Usagi
said, feeling the blush that was fighting to stain her cheeks.
"Uh…thanks," Heero said, also feeling the redness
that wanted to show itself on his face. He went into the restroom, closed,
and made sure he locked the door.
'OMG, I can't believe that just happened. I'm so
damn embarrassed. It took all my will to stop myself from screaming.' Usagi
silently sighed. She just couldn't believe it. All her life, she hadn't
blushed, her, being Dr. M's prize pupil, the one that did better than any
she had before, the one that could hide all emotions. Usagi had almost
died of embarrassment.
On the other side of the door, Heero was mentally
slapping himself a couple of times. 'Why didn't I knock? Why did I think
that she wasn't home? Why didn't I just keep running another mile? Why?
Why? Why did I just assume that no one was in the bathroom? Why did I pull
back the curtain?' Heero was banging his head on the wall since he knew
that Usagi couldn't hear it. He took his shower, and unfortunately, to
add to his embarrassment, he left his clothes in the room. He dried himself,
wrapped a towel around his waist, opened the door so little that there
was only a crack, and saw that the bedroom door was closed, as well as
Usagi's presence being absent. Heero breathed a sigh of relief (A.N.: I
know, but come on! I just picked on him so much, you have to give him credit
for one sigh.) and removed himself from the restroom to change.
Usagi had changed and gone into the kitchen to make
herself something, when she realized that there was hardly anything in
the refrigerator. So Usagi decided to go to the grocery store. She left
when Heero was taking a shower. After about an hour, Usagi came back into
the room with full grocery bags in her hands. She put away all her groceries,
and since it was about five thirty, she decided to start dinner. Usagi
was planning to make some curry. (A.N.: Usagi is a good cook now. She needed
to learn how to survive on her own during her training with Dr. M, so I
think it's okay if I mess around with her ditzy, stupid personality that
the stupid animators gave her.) Usagi steamed some rice while she got out
some meat, vegetables, and the curry in a box. When she was about half
way through, Heero stepped in the door. (A.N.: Remember, when they are
talking, they are in monotone.)
"What are you making?" Heero asked. He remembered
having smelled something like it when he was a child, but he couldn't quite
put his finger on it.
"Curry. Do you have a problem with it?" Usagi asked.
"No," Heero answered. 'It's just that I remember
eating it as a child in Japan, but how would Usagi know how to make it?
I don't think she is Japanese, is she?' he finished in his mind.
"Usagi how do you know how to make curry?" Heero
asked.
"Well, considering that I'm Japanese, I think that
I like to eat Asian food. (A.N.: I love curry, but I'm not Japanese. I'm
Korean, and I think it's and all around eastern Asia food.) And my guardian
taught me how to make it," Usagi answered.
'So she is Japanese.'
"Oh…" Heero said.
"Will you set the table? I need to finish cooking,"
Usagi told Heero.
"Yes," Hero said.
Usagi finished her cooking, and the two ate in silence.
While they were eating, Duo came to the door.
"Hey, Heero! I got the new game for the PS200! (A.N.:
Remember, this is six thousand years from now.) It's so cool!"
Heero got up and went to the intercom.
"I'm eating," Heero said, before he could stop and
recollect what he just said. Heero regretted the words that had come out
of his mouth as soon as they came out.
"Really? What? Since when do you cook? Can I come
in? I don't think that Wufei will agree to make me anything, and I'm so
hungry! Please!" Duo begged into the intercom.
"Omae o korosu if you don't leave," Heero threatened.
Duo was used to this by now, so he didn't budge.
"Please Heero! I'm so hungry! I haven't eaten in
the last ten minutes!" Duo whined.
Heero blocked out the intercom, and sat back down. The two finished
their dinner, and Usagi pulled out the ice cream she had bought.
"Do you want some?' Usagi asked.
Heero nodded his head in a yes. Usagi scooped out
some ice cream in a bowl for Heero, and pulled out two spoons, put one
into the bowl for Heero, and one into the tin for herself. She gave the
bowl to Heero and started watching TV with him on the couch. (A.N.: Yeah,
right, Heero and Usagi watching television. Ha! Whatever.)
Usagi finished the rest of the quart of mint chocolate
chip while Heero finished his small bowl. When they finished, Usagi went
back into the room, with Heero following, so they could check their e-mail.
When they got to the room, they each sat on their beds, pulled out their
laptops, and went into their accounts. Usagi found a mail from Dr. M. 'Usagi,
I am coming earlier than expected. I figure that I can help you find a
dress, accessories, and whatnot. I know that your glaring at the screen
now, but I am your guardian, and can I not act somewhat like a mother?
I'll meet you at my arranged town house on Sunday morning. The address
is 6895 Luna Place, #B9. I'll see you then. Good Bye.' Usagi glared at
the screen, just as Dr. M told her not to do. Now she would have to tell
Dr. M that she already had a date and everything else, about the fact that
her roommate was a guy, that she slightly liked him, okay maybe she wouldn't
tell her that, that she proved a lot of the teachers wrong, and that she
set up a security system. Usagi knew that Dr. M would be furious at her
because first, she was supposed to be living a normal life. Second, she
robbed a military base and risked being caught. Dr. M would be furious
at her, both as a scientist, and as her guardian. Usagi sighed on the inside,
closed her laptop, and laid on her bed thinking what she would do.
Heero was checking his mail as well. He found one
from Dr. J. 'O1, I need to tell you that my accomplice is arriving on Sunday
early morning. She will be there for about two weeks. Just be aware. Oh,
by the way, did you ask a girl to the Formal yet? Try Relena. I'm sure
she'll be happy to go with you. Good bye.' Heero glared at the screen as
if he was looking at Dr. J himself. 'Relena?' Heero thought to himself.
'There is no way I would ever go out with her, unless I was completely
desperate.'
Usagi got back up, grabbed the book on her dresser, and started reading.
(A.N.: It was about 9:00 P.M. when they completely finished their dinner
and washing the dishes, and watching TV. It was about ten when the two
actually got off their computers.) For the next half hour, she read, and
at 10:00 P.M., Usagi fell asleep.
For the next week, Usagi and the guys went to their
classes, and did their own little forms of entertainment. Usagi told Quatre
the address of Setsuna's apartment so that he could pick her u there.
"Here is the address," Usagi told Quatre as she
handed him a piece of paper that read '6895 Luna Place, #B9'.
"Okay," Quatre said as he looked at the piece of
paper. "I'll pick you up here at about 6:00 PM so that we could go out
to dinner before the Formal, since it starts at eight." Usagi nodded her
head, and went to her next class. (A.N.: I really don't feel like getting
into detail here, sorry. Anyway, nothing good happens. OZ is busy taking
the great big stick out of their ass, and they really didn't plan anything,
so no missions.)
Finally, Friday came. Duo was getting ready for
the night's drinking game. He had found this game on the internet. It was
to watch the movie Analyze This (A.N.: Do you know how many times they
say the word 'fuck' in that movie?), and take a drink every time the word
'fuck' was said. Duo thought that it looked fun, considering that he had
never seen the movie, so he tried it out. He had bought two packages of
mini plastic Dixie cups, each package containing one hundred cups. He was
setting up a table in front of the television, setting up one package of
Dixie cups on the table. Duo had bought three bottles of scotch, two bottles
of Tequila, and two bottles of vodka. He had a section of each separated
so that they could choose. Duo felt proud of himself. He was going to have
one hell of a night.
Wufei came into the room at about seven thirty to
get ready for the game. He took a shower, slipped into his most comfortable
clothes, and took a place on the floor in front of the table about fifteen
minutes later. At about seven fifty, Usagi came to the door. Heero was
in the dorm. They all sat down, and Duo explained the rules.
"Okay, first, I want to tell you that you have three
types of alcohol to choose from. First, the Vodka section," Duo said as
he pointed to the Vodka. "Next the Tequila. If you want, there is a bowl
of limes. Last, but not least, there is the scotch. The rules are simple.
Take a drink when the word 'fuck comes up.' Got it?" Wufei and Usagi nodded.
Little did any of three know how many times the word 'fuck' was said in
the movie. Half an hour had gone by, and Quatre and Trowa decided to come
over to watch them. Heero came by half an hour before Quatre and Trowa
did. The three that were playing were out of it after an hour. Duo gave
up after an hour. Wufei and Usagi were still going at it, since they were
more used to alcohol than Duo was, and they made it through the entire
movie. By the end of the movie, Usagi and Wufei were laying down on the
floor laughing their heads off at anything. Duo was still a little out
of it, but nothing compared to Wufei and Usagi.
"Hey, Usagi, Wufei, and Duo, are you guys okay?"
Quatre asked.
"Don't be such a ninny. Ninny? That's a really funny
word!" Duo yelled. The three people started laughing again.
"Hey Wufei…hey, that rhymes! You know, Wu-man, you
really need to chill out like this once in a while. Let's play truth or
dare. Usagi, are you in?" Duo asked.
"Definitely. I'll go first. You, with the blond
hair," Usagi said a she pointed to Quatre, "Truth or Dare?"
Quatre looked around nervously. "Um…truth?"
"Do you have a secret love?" Usagi asked with a
devilish grin.
Quatre blushed red like a tomato.
"No, I don't."
"Then how come you're blushing?" Usagi asked as
she lifted an eyebrow.
Wufei was still on the ground laughing uncontrollably
next to Duo who was also drunk and laughing at the sight of Quatre blushing.
"Because I get embarrassed when people mention things
like when my wedding day is going to be, if I have a girlfriend or a girl
that I like, etc. So, it's my turn. Usagi, Truth or Dare?"
Usagi thought about it for a while.
"Dare," she said boldly with a big smile.
"I dare you to um…Duo, I'm not very good at this.
Will you finish it?"
Duo, with a 100-watt smile on his face with a hint
of mischief responded.
"Gladly. Usagi, Quatre now dares you to go down
to strip down to your bra and panties and dance on the chair over there."
"Fine." Usagi started to pull off her shirt, when
Quatre stopped her.
"No! That's not a good dare! You're basically making
her act as stupid as a chipmunk!"
Usagi, Duo, and Wufei started laughing like crazy.
"Chipmunk? That's a really funny word! Where did
you get that from?" Duo said in between tears. Wufei and Usagi were laughing
and practically crying at the same time.
"Stop making me laugh, Blondie! My sides are starting
to hurt, and I think I'm gonna pee my pants!" Usagi exclaimed while laughing.
Quatre just blushed so red, it was hard to believe that a human could get
that red. This action made the three laugh even more.
"A red chipmunk! He probably lost his nuts!" Usagi
exclaimed. This statement made the Usagi, Wufei, and Duo laugh even harder,
because it sounded worse than what she meant. (A.N.: You know, like acorn
nuts, and stuff that they hold in their cheeks. The three took the statement
way too literally, and if you don't yet get it, then read the statement
over again.). Quatre blushed even redder, and went back to his room at
that point. Trowa followed after Quatre (A.N.: I know a lot of people like
to put the two together, but I will not be doing that. I think that's really
disturbing. They are dorm mates only because both of them did not want
to room with the loud-as-a-freight train snoring Duo. I know, I like Duo
too. I know he doesn't deserve all that resentment, but I had to get him
to somehow lose interest in Usagi. Also, I think that Quatre couldn't live
at one of his mansions because in my fanfic, it was too far away, and all
the students at the academy are required to live in a dorm unless the dorms
are completely filled, in which case, they are allowed to live off campus.)
because he didn't want to stick around. Heero decided to take Usagi back
to the dorm, but with her drunk, he didn't think that she would make the
entire walk to their dorm. So, Heero decided to pick Usagi up and carry
her. She was still laughing when he picked her up, one arm under her legs,
and the other under her neck.
"Hey, laugh> are you my boyfriend?"
Heero just stared at her. She was laughing, and
more drunk than he could imagine.
"Uh…"
"I hope so. You are one hot babe! Uncontrollable
laughter>" was the surprising comment that came from Usagi's lips.
Heero was terribly confused. When they got back to the dorm, Heero
went into the bedroom and put Usagi down on her bed. As he was doing this,
Usagi grabbed his shirt, and pressed her lips on his. His eyes widened,
and his mouth opened a little in shock. Usagi took that opportunity to
put her tongue in his mouth. She was REALLY kissing him, and after he came
out of shock, Heero kissed her back. They finally broke apart after about
five minutes for air (A.N.: Five minutes is nothing. In the Guinness Book
of World Records, the longest kiss was twenty-nine hours without them breaking
apart once.). Usagi smiled at him, a sort of lopsided smile.
"That was nice," she said, a little slurred as she
fell asleep. Heero couldn't believe what had just happened. He had a bunch
of emotions going on in his head, ones that were seriously confusing him.
She had given Heero his first kiss. (A.N.: What do you expect? Heero's
the 'Perfect Soldier,' remember? He doesn't have time to date, kiss, etc.
Usagi did him a little favor.) He was really startled, but he was busy
trying to decide whether he had enjoyed it or not. He decided to go to
sleep, so he turned off the lights and fell asleep.
The next morning, Usagi woke up with a huge hangover.
As soon as she awoke, she went to the bathroom, and threw up. Meanwhile,
in Wufei and Duo's dorm, both of them were barfing like mad. Luckily, their
dorm had one and a half bathrooms, like most of the other dorms. (A.N.:
For those of you that don't know, a half bathroom has only a sink and a
toilet.)
Back in Heero and Usagi's dorm, Heero woke up to
the sound of some major barfing. He went to check up on Usagi, who was
throwing up. (A.N.: That's another reason not to drink, folks. First, you
can kill a person if you're drunk, either by driving or turning violent
[I know, I sound like a public service announcement], and second, you can
wake up to a major hangover. Also, you'll probably be barfing the entire
morning like Usagi, Wufei, and Duo, and you'll probably have a headache
all day, too. I sound like such a dork. If you stop reading my story, I'll
understand.)
"Are you all right?" asked Heero, still remembering
the kiss from last night. He wasn't sure if she remembered it though.
"Hell no," Usagi said, and quickly turned back to
the toilet. (A.N.: Guess why.)
"Do you need anything? Like a glass of water?" Heero
asked.
"Yes, I think I'll need about five. I haven't had
that much alcohol at one time before, so my body is still adjusting. What
happened? All I remember is laughing my head off with Wufei and Duo because
Quatre said something about chipmunks and started blushing like a madman."
'Good, she doesn't remember, although I kind of
wish she did. What the hell? What am I saying?' Heero thought as he mentally
slapped himself a couple times.
"I picked you up and took you to the dorm, put you
on your bed, and you fell asleep," Heero said.
"Oh…" Usagi said before turning to the toilet again.
Heero went outside to get her the glass of water.
'Why didn't I tell her?' Heero asked himself. He wanted to tell her, but
then again, he didn't. Heero knew that if he ever got involved with Usagi,
he would be putting her in danger. It tore him up inside. He got the glass
of water, and returned to the restroom, seeing Usagi still throwing up.
"Here," Heero said as he handed her the glass of
water.
Usagi took it, and gulped it down in one gulp.
"Thanks," Usagi said as she got up. She had a major
headache, and was in so much pain, so she wasn't exactly concentrating
on where she was going. All she knew was that she was following Heero out
of the door. Usagi didn't see the small book on the floor in front of her,
and tripped over it. She was falling, waving her arms in the air to balance
herself. Usually, Usagi would flip midair, but she had such a big headache,
she just decided to fall.
What was strange was that she never fell. She was
in a pair of strong arms (A.N.: Hahaha! I know, it's so overdone. I thought
that it was pretty funny though. Anyway, I'm going to leave it as a sentence
of humor. It's a pretty good laugh though, isn't it?"). She opened
her eyes, and looked into Heero's. Her sapphire eyes, met Heero's Prussian
blue ones. They didn't move for a while, because both of them were lost
in the eyes of the other's.
"Um…here, let me help you up," Heero said as he
broke the silence.
"Uh…thanks. I think I'll go clean up, and then get
another glass of water and an aspirin. My head hurts so much," Usagi said
as she got cleaned up, then headed towards the kitchen. She pulled out
some Tylenol and a glass of water. Heero got a glass of milk, drank it
as Usagi drank her Tylenol down, and when they finished, both of them decided
to check up on Duo and Wufei.
When Heero and Usagi got to Wufei and Duo's dorm, they saw the door
unlocked and Trowa and Quatre in the room. Heero and Usagi stepped in,
and saw Duo in one bathroom, and Wufei in the other throwing up even more
than Usagi had. The two got up, cleaned themselves up, and went outside
to their living room/kitchen.
"Are you guys okay?" asked Quatre, sounding very
worried. (A.N.: After all, Quatre is the 'motherly-type' of the Gundam
guys.)
"We're fine!" Duo exclaimed with a smile before
running back to the bathroom.
"You shouldn't have drank," Quatre commented. "After
all, you never know what is going to happen during the day," Quatre said
in code, referring to the missions.
Wufei had left the room a while ago, back to the
bathroom. Usagi was feeling a little queasy, but she kept herself under
control. She felt like taking a nap, so she headed back towards the dorm.
Meanwhile, Duo had come back, smiling.
"Hey, any of you guys up for a game of Destroy the
Mobile Suits 5?"
The rest of the guys rolled their eyes and left
the dorm. They did their own things, the rest of the day. Heero hacked
into stuff, Duo played video games, Wufei meditated and trained, Trowa
practiced, and later, performed at the circus, Quatre read a book, went
to the coffee shop, hung around with Duo, and later watched Trowa perform
at the circus. Usagi just slept all day.
