Chapter Eight: RUN DUO RUN!
An: Finally chapter 8. This will feature alot of scenes of Duo getting chased. Hence the name ^______^ But I'm not getting anymore reviews! *sniff* I NEED reviews!
Rei had locked herself in her's and Minako's room. She sat on the bed, thinking profusely about Usagi.
" Where are you, Usagi-chan?" She focused on that thought, concentrating her energy on meditation. She usaully found an answer in thinking like this. IN most meditation, you would clear your mind, But Rei was thinking of all possiblities, and they flashed before her eyes.
" I am Fire. Fire is Light. I am Fire. Fire is sight! I am fire. Fire is Light. I am fire. Fire is sight!"
She repeated the phrases over and over, staring hard at a candle she had lit in front of herself.
" Kougai Faia. Fire Reveal. Kougai Faia. Fire Reveal!"
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duo, Quatre, Minako and Ami all listened in on the door.
" She's been in there for hours." Minako said, looking worried and trying the door knob again only to find it locked.
" Is she always like this?" came another voice. Trowa, Heero, Makoto, and Wufei all stood next to the others. Wufei had asked that question, surprised at the fire princess's determination. Makoto nodded, looking back at the locked door. Duo, used to getting people to open up, began to pound on the door.
" Open up, Rei-chan!" He began to kick the door, determined to bug the woman into opening the door. If she was anything like Heero or Wufei, and he knew she was, Rei'd go after him with something.
" No! Don't interrupt her!" Ami said, cringing. But the pounding continued never the less.After about 15 minutes, a click was heard. The door opened slowly, and a flaming furious Rei stood in the door.Eyes blazing, Rei smiled menacingly. With a war cry, she began to run after Duo, who already tore out of the room. Wufei, rather enjoying this turn of events, ran after Rei, intending to watch the whole thing. Heero, actaully afraid for the braided baka, chased after wufei.One by one, all eight of them began to chase after Duo.
" Now You've done it baka!" Minako shouted, out of breath quickly.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Duo managed to hide in a tree outside the inn where the senshi had stayed. He quickly feel asleep, tired of running from Wufei and Rei.
~*~
" ITAI!" Quatre began to laugh at Duo Maxwell, as he was spying on his betrothed, Jupiter-hime.
" What did you do that for?"
" You shouldn't be doing that!"
Jupiter had heard them arguing and came to investigate the noises. When she came up behind them, she whapped Duo on the back of the head. Minako laughed at Duo's grimace and grabbed Quatre's arm. She watched him gulp nervously and laughed hard. Duo winked suggestively at Jupiter and held out his hand. She snorted, punched him in the shoulder and ran when he began to chase her. Two streaks passed by Venus and Quatre, who where currently flirting. They saw Princess "Mako" Kino Jupiter run straight into Princess " Rei" Hino Mars and Chang Wufei.
They where arguing about the betrothal plans he and Princess " Ami" Mizuno Mercury had planned. " She loves Lotus flowers! Not lilies!" Mars shrieked, throwing up her hands in frustration. Just as the words came out, she was bushed over by a wildly running Quatre. They both fell to the ground, Mars letting out a startled shriek as they went. His head layed on something soft and Quatre was mortified to find hmself laying on Rei's breast. Duo, who was surprisingly acrobatic, jumped over Wufei and ran straight into Mercury, who had been talking with Trowa about various politics. But unlike Quatre he stopped himself from falling and wrapped his arms around her.
" Help! Mako-chan is freaking mad!" He hugged Ami tightly almost using her as a shield. But Jupiter who had tried to jump over Wufei, was currently being held by a fuming scholar. He had accidentally kissed her forehead and her symbol glimmered at the touch. Trowa managed to stop a flying Minako, who had knocked him over as well. Trowa was blushing furiously at their closeness. This was generally not "proper" but Minako and Rei didn't care. Infact, Minako kissed Trowa on the cheek. A sudden burst of laughing revealed that the little escapade had an audience. All of the men besides Duo were blushing, and currently the only girls who weren't beet red was Mako and Minako.
Makoto was furious and Minako was smiling. The viewers turned out to be the outer realm princesses. Princess Neptune stood with the others, winking at Quatre. Princess " Haruka" Tenoh Uranus was laughing at a furious Wufei and Princess " Setsuna" Meioh Pluto was chuckling at Trowa's embarrassment. Even young Princess " Hotaru" Tomoe Saturn, was smiling back at Duo's cocky grin. And then they heard another silvery tinkling laugh. Odin Lowe and Serenity Cosmos pushed through the outers to see what was happening.
" O..Ohayo Usa-hime." Ami gave Usagi a brave smile and pushed Duo off of her. He grinned, kissing her hand until Wufei glared at him. " D-baka, you had better back off from my betrothed." Wufei hissed evilly, glaring at his "companion". Duo blanched and began to run down the hall, hopping over Hotaru. Rei took the hint and glanced at Minako, who was currently flirting with Trowa..her intended. She glared bloody murder at Mina-chan, who flinched and began to run down the hall. Rei followed, glaring at her prey.
Serenity burst into giggles again, watching Duo dash down the hall much in the same manner as Minako was. Ami sighed, grabbed Trowa's arm and walked off in the direction of the gardens challenging him to a chess match. Jupiter snorted at Wufei's retreating back and and grabbed Quatre's hand to pull him up. Then they headed to the kitchen to have Mako fix him her favorite lunch and tea, while Quatre just would eat.
*~*
" DUO MAXWELL! Come back here with that cake!"
Running hard, Duo began to laugh as Princess Jupiter chased him down the hall, intent on beating the hell out of him. She couldn't believe she was supposed to marry this guy. He was cute yes, and he did enjoy her cooking, but if he stole her cakes just one more time... she'd rip of his head and give it to Wufei.
He didn't notice Ami walking down the hall. Being Duo, He ran right in to her, the cake landing on Ami's dress. She looked down in horror. She had made that one, sewing the delicate satin into a beautiful baby blue dress. Her work had been completely ruined. She stared in horror at the dress, and to Duo's surprise, she began to cry.
Makoto ran up, saw the horror on Duo's face, the crying Ami, and began to fume.
" MAXWELL! Go with Ami, make sure she changes out of the dress, and into a new one. And get that one to me. Don't worry Ami-chan, I'll fix it for you." Makoto glared at Duo before walking past them. Duo Helped Ami up, watching her sniffle, guilt swallowing him up.
" Ah Ami-chan! I'm so sorry! I'll get it fixed I swear! Even if I have to get the other guys to help me sew it together." He stammered profusely, walking along with Ami, whose dress was dropping cake everywhere. Looking at bit sad, now that HER work wouldn't be completely HERS anymore, She began to cry again. Duo winced and lead her to her room.
" Oh Ami-chan, I'm so so sorry! Onegai! Forgive me! I'll beat up Wufei for you!" Dup said, sticking his worried sick face right into Ami's. She laughed at his earnest expression.
" Hai. I'll forgive you, Duo-san."
*~*
" Fei-chan! What do you mean you love Makoto!? I am your bride, Fei-chan!" Ami screeched, tears falling
down her cheeks. Wufei lookd away, guilty and furious with himself.
" Ami-hime, I love her. I love everything about her. Her hair, her face, the way she throws things at Duo. The way I can spar with her and not worry about hurting her. I love her unfailing loyalty, her determination,
her fire.....I'm sorry, Princess Mercury." He looked down, avoiding her tear streaked face, her hurt.
Ami didn't relent her sobbing. She loved him...she probably loved him.
" But I'm your fiancee! I love you! Fei-chan....onegai...do not leave me.! Don't you dare leave me!"
But Wufei fled the room, his face pale at what he just did. Dear god, he just broke the law so badly it's sickening. If Ami went to Queen Serenity with this...oh no..
Duo walked by the hurrying Wufei, munching on Mako's donuts he managed to sneak from her.
The dragon seem disturbed. He went on to enter the parlor, but he stopped upon hearing the muffled cries and weeping coming from the room. Opening the door, he spotted a distressed Mizuno Mercury.
" Ami-chan! I fixed the dress! It's as good as new! I swear! What's wrong?" Duo walked over to Ami, sitting beside her on a love seat. Bringing an arm around her shoulders, Duo used the other to lift her face toward
his.
" Fei-chan broke off the betrothal......I am not going to marry Wufei-chan...."
She said saddly. Fresh tears began to gather at the corners of her eyes.
.....Is that such a bad thing, Ami-chan? I...could marry you..Yeah right. Death's messenger and the very innocent picture of Purity? Baka Duo.
*~*
" I can too play chess, Trowa-baka. Ami-chan! Teach me to play chess!"
Those where the words that sentenced him to a horrible living hell of an afternoon.
" Duo! Pay attention! Now, do you see the horse figurine? That is the knight. It can move in any L shaped motion consisting of three spaces and a one space turn. Like so. The Tallest piece is the King. It can move one space in any direction."
....Why won't she stop?.....Dear Shinigami...help me....
" The figure next to it is the queen piece. It is the most nimble of pieces. It can move in any direction for an unlimited number of spaces until it hits a filled space. It can only go in one direction when moving more than one space at a time."
.....Shut up.....please! Why did I open my big mouth?!?!....
Duo, dozing, just nodded every now and then. Until he leaned backwards in his chair, and fell back wards.
" Damn it!" Upon hearing those words, Ami smacked Duo upside the head.
" Maxwell-san! You need to control Your language!
~*~
Bored....so very bored....ZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZ............
Duo lay sleeping during the ball that just pronouced boredum. He couldn't find Makoto, or Ami. Rei was trying to decimate him, and Minako was flirting with Trowa, who was smiling nervously under Quatre's heavy glare. Wufei wasn't in sight, and was probably with Mako. Maybe...if He could find Serenity in time, He could ask for a dance, and bug Heero. Yeah. There's the plan.
He saw Usagi-chan talking with a masked man, who was offering a dance with her.
" Argh. Plan crashed. Oh well. Where's Ami?" Looking about, he went out onto the balcony, and stared down at earth.
" It's so pretty. Earth. No wonder Serenity is always looking at it." A sweet voice filled the balcony. Ami, with her incredibly short hair, came out. She looked sweet and innocent, the epitome of purity. Her eyes twinkled, and her cheeks were rosy from the light breeze. She was dressed in an azure dress. It was stunning, it had gold diamond accents at the shoulders. The sleeces where puffed, and the neckline was square, to show off her budding figure. THe skirt was long and slender, not puffed out as was the current style. It flowed like water over her body, hugging every inch. Added was a choker of babyblue, with a small ice crystal hanging from it. She looked wonderful, and he felt so unworthy of her attention at that moment.
" Mercury-hime. A new..look?" He asked, gesturing to her hair.
" Yes. I've cut it. It's not bad, is it?" came a timid query, as Ami clasped her hands tightly.
" No. Just different. Your hair was so long. But you look just, if not more, beautiful, like this." She smiled, and then it fell.
" But..Fei-kun didn't notice. I'm not going to be able to salvage this, am I?" She asked saddly. Duo could only shake his head no, because he knew Mako felt the same way about Wufei.
" Makoto just told me, She loves Wufei." Ami nodded, her eyes burning. She would not cry. He didn't want her that way, and that was how it was going to be. She would never fall in love..would she?
" Ami-chan...is that so bad?" He asked, lifting her face up. He slowly lowered his onto hers, and the sweetest if all kisses, began to happen. Putting held back feelings into the kiss, Duo held her gently, and then felt her pull away.
" Duo-kun. I can't... It's against the law... I'm still legally engaged to Wufei..." He smiled and then leaned down again. IT was a glorious night.
" Who cares?"
---
Wufei watched them, as they kissed, and he felt relief unlike that he ever felt before.
" She finally acknowledged him. Finally. Now all will be fine. All I have to do is ask for Mako-chan."
~*~
" Mercury! Protect Serenity! Help Venus and Jupiter!" Duo cried out, pulling out his sword and running infront of the senshi. Mars had not been called yet, and Quatre helped fight the youmas with the other wards of the outers. Heero and Endymion stood at the fore front, fighting Kunzite, the leader of the generals of Earths Gaurd.
Mercury nodded, and then began to perform her best defensive attack, Shine Aqua Illusion. She formed an ice wall about her and the others. " Sailor Teleport!" The remaining inners, teleported to the throne room. The queen was in the battle field, protecting her people. And Serenity, with out the ginzoushou or the moon stick, couldn't help.
A loud rumbling filled the room. A wall burst open and Beryl through a beam at Makoto.
" FEI-CHAN!" Wufei had took the blow, and fell whispering a few words and then fading. The others burst into the throne room.
" Minna! I have a plan! Guys! Keep Beryl at bay! Senshi, it's time for a planet attack!." Venus cried out, and then turning to look at Trowa, She said good bye. Jupiter kissed Wufei's forehead, tears falling, and then said good bye. Ami blanched at the dead Wufei, and gave Duo a look that said...I'll protect you.
" Mercury Power!"
"Jupiter Power!"
"Venus Power! We call upon the planets of our protection! Harness our powers and release the light! Sailor Planet! Attack!"
An intense beam hit Beryl, and she was wounded. With that, the senshi fell, weak. They were about to die, and begged the others to protect Serenity.
Serenity began to scream, horrible screams of rage, and anger. She ran to the fallen Senshi.
" Ja ne...Serenity-hime. Usagi-chan."
" Aishiteru, Usagi-chan."
" To forever and beyond, Usagi-chan."
And then, they fell from consiousness.
Duo was beside himself with grief, forgot his duty, and ran to Ami's side.
" Ami-chan...Ami-chan! Onegai...Ja matta ne, Ami-chan." He kissed her softly, and then ran to protect Serenity.
" Serenity-hime." A bolt hit Duo and he fell, beside the fallen senshi.
" Gomen, Usa-chan. Gomen..."
"DUO!"
~*~
Duo shook himself. The dreams he had were, disturbing. Who was Serenity? Usagi-chan? And Ami-chan. A princess. Why did it all seem so familliar?
" D-baka! Hey!"
A small girl, with short raven hair, light violet eyes, and pale skin looked up at him.
" Taru-chan?"
