Four: Tempest of The Heart
Note: I don't wanna put
a disclaimer!!! *frowns* You can't make me either so there!
Please be patient with
me minna-san! I'm just making this story up as I go along…
So I'm not too sure
where to squeeze in how Quatre and Usa are related.
My apologizes to Anime
Princess… ^^() Ehehe…
Hopefully, it'll be
soon. Read and review!

Last time:
The
door opened to reveal a young man in his early twenties with blondish-white
hair and blue eyes paler that even the sky.
"Yokata.
You're awake I see," he observed quietly. "Well, once you've rested, we need to
have a little chat. Treize-sama wants to have a talk with you, young lady."
With that, he shut the door quietly and locked it.
Once
he was gone, Usagi hugged her knees and began to cry softly. Even though she
had gone through several missions and was a pilot, in truth she was just a
young girl forced to grow up too fast. She had never been in a situation such
as this. "Quatre…" she whimpered,
closing her eyes tightly. "Help me…"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The young man with golden hair paced furiously in the
room his comrades had locked him in to prevent him from going to save the
blonde-haired beauty that lingered in his mind so often. His face was paler
than usual, and his normally calm blue eyes were red as if from crying. He
paused and turned as the door creaked open.
"Quatre? It's me, Trowa." The quiet boy with emerald eyes
watched with worry as he watched his best friend begin to pace once more. "You
should rest. Did you even get any sleep last night?"
"Do you think I *could* sleep, when all I could think of
was Usa?! How could you guys abandon her?!" Quatre burst out suddenly, his face
a mask of anguish, remembering seeing her pale face, her sparkling blue eyes
shut as if dead as her Gundam was captured.
"Do
you think we would've been any help to her if we captured?" The pair turned to
see Heero standing in the doorway, dark eyes glinting dangerously.
The question hung in the air as they stared at the
usually stoic pilot of Wing Gundam.
Quatre was the first to look away. "No…" he whispered.
"Come
to the hangar. Doctor J found out where they're holding her and has a plan to
rescue Usagi… That is, if you're done drowning yourself in self-pity," the
Perfect Soldier turned and left without another word.
Trowa regarded the now silent Quatre. "He's right, you
know. Stop dwelling in the past. She's waiting for you to come save her. I know
you don't want to disappoint her." His words kindled a flame of hope inside
Quatre.
"Do you… think she'll forgive me, for… for letting her
get captured like that?" the blue-eyed boy looked up.
A flash of amusement danced in the Silencer's green eyes.
"What do you think? Now, I think they're waiting for us in the hangar," he
said, leading his friend to the said place. (A/N: o.o Trowa-san spoke a lot
back there… ^^()v A little ooc, but not that much, 'sides, I don't think
Shinigami would give the right kind of consolation if I gave him the job of
consoling Quatre-sama… Ehehe…---- sheepish laugh)
Treize was growing impatient. The girl pilot Zechs
brought in was of no help to them. But he knew he couldn't expect less than
that from a Gundam pilot, be it a male or female. Sighing, he turned to their
silent prisoner once more. As he gazed into the azure depths of her eyes, he
caught the flash of fear that went through her for a half-second before she
suppressed it. She impressed him, this child. Even if she was intimidated, she
was determined not to show any fear. "Too bad she already gave herself away,"
he thought with a smirk.
"Now, my dear, I shall ask you once more, where are the
other pilots hidden?"
"Why should I tell you?" Usagi snapped back at him. "I
can't let him know where Quatre and the others are!" she told herself as she
tried to loosen her bonds for the tenth time that day.
The leader of Oz chuckled. "Do you think you'll escape
that easily, my dear? Those ropes were especially made for elusive Gundam
pilots such as yourself. Now, be a good girl and answer the question. We'll
find out sooner or later, anyway, so might as well save us the trouble."
"Not in your life, kisama!" she growled.
"Watch your mouth when talking to Treize-sama!" Lady Une
stepped from the shadows and backhanded her viciously.
"Now, now Lady Une, you mustn't treat our guest so,"
Treize smiled patronizingly.
"As you wish sir," Une answered, somewhat stiffly.
Usagi glared at them both. "Don't patronize, me, Treize!"
she scowled.
Glancing over at her, he sighed. "Lady Une, have them
check if the BWT is in order. I'm afraid we shall have to use it, if our guest doesn't
cooperate soon."
"BWT?" Une noted the quiver of fear that Usagi's voice contained.
"Brain Wave Transmitter. Very effective in such cases when
our guests don't answer our questions readily. It won't hurt… not much anyway,"
Treize shrugged casually, as if it were an everyday thing to do.
"Right away, Treize-sama," Une saluted him before doing as
told.
"Oh Kami, what have I gotten myself into?!" Usagi asked herself
after her captors untied her and left her in the darkness of her cell.
Note: Yay! I actually made
a long chapter!
