Chapter 7


Duo-


Duo woke to the sound of their doorbell. He and Heero shared an apartment near their school, it was convenient and Duo seriously doubted that anyone else could stand Heero as a roommate. Not that Duo would let anyone else live with Heero! Duo yawned and rubbed his eyes, glancing up at the door as he stumbled through the living room.

Who on god's green earth would come visiting at one in the morning? Christ, it was...it was...it was just cruel!

The braided Gundam pilot peered through the peephole and frowned. Ryo was out there, his head bowed and his arms folded across his chest, but strangest of all, he was wearing the heavy armor he'd shown them a week ago. Now, what could he be doing all the way out here in the middle of the night?

"Ryo? What are you...erk!" Duo had opened the door to his friend, only to be rushed by two of Ryo's friends from the sides. He hadn't been able to see them from the peephole, they must have been hiding just out of view. When Duo got his senses back, he saw that it was Naaza and Sh'ten that held him pinned against a wall. They were both in their armor.

Naaza was hissing under his breath and Sh'ten was looking at him almost hungrily. As if he would eagerly rip out Duo's heart and dine on it.

"What are you doing?" Duo cried out, just getting enough breath past the Naaza's hand around his throat. Both young men had hands on Duo's upper arms and Naaza was squeezing his throat. "Let me go!" Heero would be out here in a minute, he just had to stall them long enough. Duo looked up at Ryo.

Ryo was still standing outside in the hallway. His arms were still crossed and when he started walking, Duo's eyes grew wide. Each footstep of Ryo's was a tiny flame, his feet were actually setting fire to the floor! Ryo walked into the room very slowly, calmly. It was now so quiet that Duo could hear Ryo breathing, heavily as if he'd been running a great distance.

The black haired boy looked up and his eyes met Duo's and Duo was afraid.

"Where is Treize Kushranada?"

Duo blinked. "What?"

"Where is Treize Kushranada?" Ryo repeated himself in an eerily subdued voice. His eyes were flat, but not cold as Heero's were. His eyes were showing his true emotion, they were literally on fire. Duo would swear that he could see tiny flames in Ryo's eyes. He was furious about something.

There was a loud click as Heero, now standing in the bedroom doorway, set his gun to kill. "Get away from Duo." He commanded in his usual monotone.

Ryo didn't bother to look at Heero. "Where is Treize Kushranada?"

Heero took another step toward Ryo, his gun still aimed straight and steady. "Let Duo go, or I will kill you." Duo knew Heero never made empty threats and this could very easily end in blood all over the new carpet.

The gun was suddenly knocked from Heero's hand, but some unseen force and crushed beneath an invisible weight. Heero registered this very calmly, all the while wondering who this new enemy was.

Duo gasped and kicked savagely out at Sh'ten. The kick connected with Sh'ten's knee and the man gave a sharp cry of pain. Duo smiled. Good.

Then Sh'ten looked up with a smile and leaned in closer to Duo. "I like it. Do it again."

"Huh?"

Sh'ten's breath was warm on Duo's ear. "The pain was nice. Do you want me to return the favor?" One of his hands reached dangerously near Duo's crotch. "I can give you such pain as you have never imagined." The tone of his voice made Duo realize, with a sick feeling, that Sh'ten really did enjoy the pain and it would give him some twisted pleasure to inflict pain on others.

Duo shook his head vigorously.

"Are we going to get on with this or what?" Naaza asked impatiently. He gave Duo a rough shake. "Tell us where that Treize is? We will have his blood!"

Heero threw himself at Ryo, to attack and take the apparent leader down. Unfortunately, he encountered the invisible thing again and was thrown back, hitting a wall hard enough to leave a dent in the wall.

With a soft shimmer, Rajura was suddenly standing there. He, like Seiji had been only days before, was dressed in heavy, primitive looking armor. His helmet had horns that were almost antlers and there was a certain spider cast to his look. "I agree with Naaza. Let's get on with this. I want the others home." Ryo's other friends, all in different armor and holding their weapons, filed into the room.

"Drop him." Ryo said firmly. Naaza did as Ryo requested, but Sh'ten gave the boy another shake, before letting him fall to the floor. Ryo took a deep breath, seemingly trying to calm himself.

It was Seiji in the green armor that stepped forward. "We have to find our friends. You must tell us where they have been taken."

Without answering, Duo instantly sprang into a fight using the skills Rajura had taught him. He actually landed a few good hits until Rajura knocked him against a wall. "Don't be silly, boy. You haven't trained enough to fight us."

"What makes you think we know anything?" Duo snapped, rubbing his head and he stood up, wondering if he could get to his gun, but it was kept in the closet just behind Touma. The armored archer was holding a bead on Heero, not watching Duo. Still, Heero had weapons stashed all over the apartment. He had to be able to get to just one before he was killed.

"Because you questioned us about him. You have admitted that you know him. You must know where he is."

Duo shook his head. "Sorry, pal. We don't know anymore about him that most of the world knows. He's head of OZ and is a real jerk. That's about it."

Ryo held a hand out in front of him and caused as small fire to burst to life. "Tell me everything you know. Give me a hint or a clue or something. He's kidnapped our friends and we won't let them stay prisoners." He was now menacingly standing over Duo and Ryo's face glowed strangely in the firelight he'd created. "If you will not help us, I will personally see to it that your Gundam, Death Scythe Hell, is burned into ashes."

Duo paled. "How do you know about my Gundam?" They couldn't possibly know where Death Scythe Hell was kept, could they? His precious Gundam just couldn't fall into enemy hands.

"There's no need for threats, Ryo." Touma, in blue armor, said sensibly. "If we don't know where Trieze is then we'll just have to lure him out."

"What are you thinking?"

"Oh, I understand Strata's thinking." Naaza laughed nastily. "We'll draw him out in the open. Just attack a few of the OZ bases and he's sure to take notice. Besides, if a few pitiful mortals like them," He looked at Duo and Heero. "Can cause OZ trouble, how dangerous can they be?"

"Unless," Heero spoke up. "They decide to kill your friends in retaliation."

The armored people were quiet a moment. "We have to take the chance." Ryo said finally. "We can't just let them..." Ryo broke off in mid sentence and suddenly screamed at the top of his lungs. A horrible scream as if he were having his heart ripped out, and he fell to the floor. The rest of the armored people were also affected to different degrees.

Seiji touched his forehead, as if he had a mild headache. Rajura's eyes became unfocused and Shu moaned with pain, going to one knee. "They're torturing him!" Naaza gasped. "They're cutting Anubis."

Duo, seeing that the attackers were dazed and not so threatening any more, pulled out a gun from under the couch. Heero was very reliable that way. Since they apparently had no fear of guns, Duo didn't flash it around, just held onto it.

Whatever was happening seemed to be affecting Seiji the least and he kept his gaze on Heero and Duo, flickering back and forth. "Block your minds." Seiji instructed his friends.

Ryo shook his head. "He'll be alone, he'll think we abandoned him!"

Seiji sniffed. "Don't be silly, Ryo. He has Shin with him. If nothing else, we can't help him if we can't function normally. We have to hurry."

Touma was the first to agree and stand up shakily. His eyes slowly focused on Duo and then turned to his friends. "Is everyone all right?"

There were slow, hesitant nods.

"Can someone tell me what the Hell is going on?" Duo asked. He hated being in the dark like this! It was as if they were going to involve him and Heero in a private little war without telling them what was happening.

Ryo looked at him with those soft, gentle eyes now filled with pain. "We're all connected telepathically. Whatever one of us feels we all feel to some degree. Anubis is being tortured. They made him take off him armor after threatening Shin and they're cutting him open. God, he's still awake! They want to find out where the armor came from when he called it." Ryo looked at them pleadingly. "You have to help us. If Anubis..." He couldn't seem to finish the thought, but Duo knew what Ryo was thinking. If Anubis dies...

"It will be like losing apart of ourselves." Rajura explained. "Can you imagine someone cutting off your left arm and you not being able to do anything about it? It's the same. Although we would all probably live through the experience, we would be forever crippled by the lose of one of us." There was something in his voice that made Duo believe him. A kind of horror that told how tragic it would be to lose one of their number. "We will also all feel it when he dies, we can't block our minds enough not to feel it."

Duo was suddenly aware of Ryo muttering to himself. "I won't let it happen. I won't let them die." Ryo looked up, furious. "Even if I have to use the white armor, I won't let them die!"

Duo clutched the gun, trying not to look as afraid as he felt. He KNEW that Ryo would never hurt him, but there was such anger and fear in his face, that Duo was afraid of what Ryo might do. What on Earth could the white armor be?

"We are going to find our friends." Ryo told the two Gundam pilots. "You may come with us, or stay here. Do NOT try to stop us, you won't be able to do it." Now in armor, they all began to file out of the apartment.

There was a buzzing from Heero's tiny communicator they all had to keep in touch with each other. -Heero, this is Trowa. -

All the armored warriors stopped and looked back at Heero.



Shin-



Shin kept waving his hands back and forth in the tank of water. If he could just get the force going fast enough then he should be able to free himself. He kept up the movement as a young man who looked barely older than Shin himself replaced the single guard in the room. In fact, Shin thought, the young man looked vaguely like a brown haired Touma.

"Take your break." The new young man told the older guard. This left the new guard alone with Shin. Instead of ignoring Shin as the other had, this one walked right up to the tank and watched him wave his hands, creating lazy currents in the water. In reality, Shin was simply getting ready for a large wave, made up of hundreds of tiny ones. The young man said, "I take it you're the boy brought in with the blue haired guy."

Shin didn't dare pause in his work, Anubis was depending on him, but he did give a little more attention to the guard. "How would you like to get out of here?"

Shin nodded enthusiastically as he waved his arms.

"Do you know why they want you?"

Shin shook his head sadly. He really had no idea, beyond what Trieze had said about wanting recruits. Shin said nothing, knowing that his voice wouldn't be heard very well. It was difficult to talk when he couldn't use his lungs.

The young man thought, peering out from behind his long hair that fell in front of his face. "Since you can breath underwater, I expect Trieze would want you for an under seas operative. Sabotage, perhaps, for some of his enemies." The young man was quiet for a short moment before he walked out of the room.

Shin stared after him, dismayed that he was suddenly left alone. What was that guy talking about? The Ronin of Torrent suddenly felt that the water was just about right. He just had to concentrate for a few minutes more and he could go in search of Anubis.

Shin's mind was still numbed by the pain from the warlord. He didn't dare to block his friend, knowing that the others had to in order to find them. He just couldn't leave Anubis alone to deal with all this. How could they torture him so horribly? There was no reason for it! And God help them all when Ryo got here!


Duo-


-Heero, this is Trowa. I've found out something interesting. Come to the OZ complex 75L-9. They have two prisoners and the scientists are going mad. One boy who can breath under water and another, more violent boy who can turn invisible. Bring Duo with you, if you can. Wufei and Quarte are going to meet us there. -

Heero touched the communicator. "Trowa, do you know what Trieze wants them for?"

-No. I think he just wants them as new recruits because of their special talents, but the scientists seem intent of experimenting on them.-

Duo listened to this, noticing that the armored warriors had stopped in the doorway and were listening with hopeful faces. Trowa continued. -If Trieze wants them so badly, I think we shouldn't let him have them.-

"Agreed. Mission accepted."

Heero looked up at the armored warriors. Sh'ten stepped forward. "Where is this complex?"




Several minutes later they were agreed. The warriors would go with them to the complex to rescue their friends. When Duo mentioned that he was going to get his Gundam, Naaza waved away the idea. "There is no time for that. We shall take you and then you let us rescue our friends."

"Aren't you a little over confidant?" Duo asked. "How do you expect to get there faster than our Gundams?"

"Let's go outside." Shu suggested, swinging his long staff around and attaching it to his back. "Less a mess that way."



Duo and Heero followed them to the street, empty at this hour and waited. "Now what?" Duo asked, as usual he was speaking for both of them.

Rajura stepped behind Duo and took a hold of his arms. "What are you doing?" Duo tried to get free of his 'teacher'.

Rajura smiled. "Don't you trust me?"

"Not in a million years."

"Then you'd better hope I don't drop you."

Seiji stepped behind Heero and did the same thing that Rajura had done to Duo. "Just stay as still as possible and you'll be fine."

Heero didn't answer.

Suddenly they were flying. Duo almost screamed to find himself hundreds of feet above the ground without the safety of him Gundam, but then settled into the excitement. This was better than a sugar high!

Duo grinned broadly while the wind whipped his long braid until Rajura shouted over the wind. "If that braid hits me in the face one more time, I'm going to rip it off."

Duo eeped and grabbed a hold of his braid protectively.

Heero, meanwhile was giving directions to Touma who seemed to be leading them in this insane flight. Duo had no idea how they were flying, but then, a lot of things seemed to be confusing him regarding these people. Looking around, he saw a blue glow that was centering around Touma and spread out like the light from a candle, or maybe a bubble. It was only minutes before they landed.

Duo felt his feet hit the ground with some disappointment. It was just getting good!


Shin-

One great rush and I knew it was time. I send a force of water rushing at one wall of my prison and it shattered under the water. It was a shocking change, going from the water into the cold air as I was swept up along with the water into the near empty room. I tried to push myself up while I was clearing my lungs by throwing up the water. It was dizzying for a moment, not at all like the slow change when I was swimming or just relaxed. This was almost painful when I had to do it so quickly.

I looked up to see the young guard from before. He was wet from the waist down so he must have walked in just as I had broken the tank. I stared up at him, not trusting him, why should I? He'd given me no reason to. Then he reached down a hand.

"My friends are on their way. If you want to escape, then come with me."

I didn't have to think twice before I took his hand and let him help me to stand. I coughed up the last of the water and blinked a few drops of water out of my eyes. "I have to find my friend." I told him.

"The other boy in the lab?"

I nodded. "I can't leave without him."

"I'm Trowa. Come with me."

Trowa led me through the building with his serious face and his gun poised at the ready. I have to admit, I felt a little foolish running in my boxers, but there was no help for it. Anubis needed me! He was slipping.

Finally, after what seemed like hours of silent creeping, Trowa pointed to a door. "That's the lab. Stay here and I'll go get your friend."

I shook my head. "You'll be killed. They had guards in there. You can't fight them all at once."

"I am one of those guards, remember. They won't be expecting an attack. Just stay here."

Reluctantly, I let Trowa go. There was a moment of silence and then a few shots of his gun. "You can come in now." Trowa told me.

I went in, trying not to look at the bodies around the room. I went straight to Anubis and almost threw up. His was ripped open, but still alive. I could see him barely breathing and I felt his pain, though now subdued like a shadow in my mind.

"Anubis? Wake up, Anubis." He didn't answer.

"We'll have to carry him." Trowa said, in his monotone voice. He reached for Anubis, but I stepped in front of him.

"You can't touch him. You'll hurt him." I looked around and was happy to see that my clothes were still on the table where they were when I was taken out of the room. I picked up my pants and pulled my kanji ball out of the pocket.

Trowa was slightly surprised by the sight of my armor, but he didn't react to badly. I picked up Anubis after easily tearing the restraints off him. I held him in my arms and looked at Trowa. "Lead the way."




Ryo-



We were just walking toward the door, a heavy metal door with a computerized lock when it exploded. Duo and Heero fell back, thankfully, they were behind the armored warriors who didn't seem to feel it when the metal doors collided with them. With the flying metal came a flood of water, surging out at them angrily. Duo shook his head and looked up, shocked at what he saw.

Shin, in heavy blue armor, with Anubis in his arms and Trowa standing behind him, soaking wet. Shin slowly stepped out, into the open and the other warriors rushed him. Ryo and Rajura took Anubis out of Shin's arms and lay the bleeding man on the grass.

Anubis and Shu helped Shin to sit down and told him to take off the armor so they could look for any damage.

Ryo looked up at the building where his friends had suffered so much. SEIJI? He asked.

The blond warrior knew what Ryo was asking and looked at the building and concentrated. THE BUILDING IS EMPTY. EVERYONE HAS EVACUATED. ENJOY YOURSELF.

Now that he knew he couldn't possibly hurt any innocents, Ryo raised his swords. "Flare up, now!" He screamed, swiping his swords at the offending building.

Duo raised an arm to shield his eyes as a wave of flame erupted from Ryo's swords and flew at the OZ complex. It was a solid steel building, created to resist all natural and man made disasters. Ryo's fire ate a wide path through the building leaving it so Duo could see out the other side.

Ryo was left panting for breath, now that his anger had found an outlet and sat next to Anubis. Seiji had healed most of the damage and was busy healing Anubis' face, but it still looked awful.

Anubis looked up at Ryo. "Did anyone remember to feed Junior?"

Ryo smiled with relief and then threw his arms around Anubis. "Thank god you're all right! I was so worried!"

Anubis raised a hand to pat Ryo's back. "Didn't know you'd worry so much, Recca."

Shin, still in Sh'ten's arms, smiled tiredly. "One point for Anubis. And Ryo still doesn't know the game is even being played."



Wufei and Quarte arrived late in their Gundams. They were in time to see Anubis' completed healing and Seiji standing with the help of Touma. He was always so exhausted after a healing and this was the most sever he'd ever done before. The warriors looked up at the giant Gundams. They were all very, very impressed with the robots.

"Wow." Shu muttered. Then he saw Wufei get out of one and jump to the ground. A smile spread across Shu's face.

"We came as soon as we could." Quarte said, jumping down beside Wufei. "It looks like we're a bit late."

"Not at all." Shu grabbed Wufei when he wasn't looking and hugged him tightly. "I'd hate to think of my Little Panda being in a fight." To Wufei's horror, Shu kissed him soundly on the cheek.

"Let me go, you fool!"

Shu smiled more. "You're so cute, playing hard to get!"

"I am not playing!" But Wufei still couldn't get himself free of Shu's arms. "I am not interested in you!"

"Do you have a lover all ready?" Shu looked surprised. He certainly wouldn't want to interfere on anyone else's love life.

"Er..." Wufei looked at Quarte, but Trowa stepped next to him.

"Don't even think it, Wufei. Quarte is mine and I don't share."

Wufei turned to Duo, but Heero touched his gun significantly. "I don't share, either."

Tears well up in Wufei's eyes, seeing that he had no escape route.

Shu's face lit up with triumph and he cuddled Wufei closer. Suddenly, Wufei cried out as he was picked up and thrown over Shu's shoulder. "MINE!" Shu screamed happily.

"Put me the fuck down!"

"Nope, you're mine."

Wufei felt as weak as a woman as he thrashed and kicked at Shu, but nothing worked. He was still in his armor so none of the blows connected. Everyone was staring and he was miserably embarrassed.

SHOULD WE TELL HIM THAT THE MORE HE FIGHTS, THE MORE SHU WANTS HIM? Ryo asked Seiji. AFTER ALL, SHU ONLY WANTS WHAT HE CAN'T HAVE.

Seiji thought about it a moment. NO, LET HIM FIGURE IT ON HIS OWN. IF HE FIGHTS LONG ENOUGH MAYBE HE'LL WIN OVER SHU ENTIRELY.

Touma laughed mentally. THAT'LL BE THE DAY. SHU FINALLY FALLS IN LOVE PROPERLY.

IT WOULD BE ABOUT TIME. Rajura added.



Everyone went home, after tearing Wufei away from Shu. Quarte gave Trowa a ride while Wufei ran to his Gundam to hide. He refused to tell anyone where he was going. Not even Heero.

The warriors again carried Heero and Duo away. Though this time, Ryo carried Anubis. Anubis had been planning to stand up after being healed when Seiji put a hand on his shoulder to keep him on the ground. "Hey, Ryo. You know, Anubis is still pretty weak from his ordeal. Why don't you carry him home?"

Ryo slapped his forehead. "I should have thought of that! I'm sorry I'm so thoughtless, Anubis." Ryo easily picked up his blue haired friend who smiled with a sort of shocked amazement before looking at Seiji.

THANK YOU. Anubis thought to Seiji.

NO PROBLEM.

Anubis cuddled into Ryo's chest happily and Ryo looked down, surprised. Anubis sure looked cute like that.



EPILOGUE-



Anubis finally succeeded in seducing Ryo. It happened in the middle of a snowstorm when Ryo was feeling especially cold and miserable.

"You look cold, Ryo." Anubis said coming into the living room where Ryo was sitting as close to the fire as he could. Ryo was bundled up under several layers of clothes and a blanket. He shot Anubis an evil glare.


"It's freezing. Of coarse I'm cold!" Ryo pulled the woolen blanket over his head and leaned against the fireplace.

Anubis laughed. He was feeling fine walking around the house in his shorts and a T-shirt. The winter was the perfect season, as far as he was concerned. Ryo looked so delectable all curled up on the floor like that.

Enough with waiting, Anubis decided.

"You know, Ryo, you really need to enjoy the winter."

"There's nothing to enjoy." Ryo told him sourly from under his blanket.

Anubis knelt in front of Ryo and pulled the blanket down so he could see Ryo's face. He leaned in close enough that their noses touched. "I can show you how to enjoy the long, cold, winter nights."

Ryo blinked and his face grew warm with a blush when he realized (FINALLY!) what Anubis was talking about. He couldn't say anything. He just couldn't make his mouth work.

Anubis sprang up and went to one of the windows. Ryo lost his blush when Anubis threw the window open and a burst of cold air froze the room instantly.

"ARRRRRGGG!" Ryo screamed and jumped up. "What are you doing!?" He ran to the open window, with Anubis still sitting on the sill and put his arms up to close the window. Unfortunately, Ryo didn't get to the window when Anubis put his arms around Ryo and drew him in close. Ryo looked up at him with a little fear in his eyes. He didn't pull away, but shivered in Anubis' arms.

"I want you to enjoy the winter, Ryo. Fire and ice belong together, you know." He pulled Ryo closer. Close enough that Ryo could smell Anubis' scent like evergreens.

Ryo's acting on his emotions, as was natural for him, closed his eyes and leaned into Anubis, kissing him full on the lips.

Several hours later, Ryo stared into the fireplace, feeling all warmed up with a sappy smile on his face. White Blaze was curled around him and Ryo leaned back, reclining on his best friend. He still felt dazed and wonderfully happy. He just loved the winter!

Anubis sat on the couch behind Ryo, in his robe, with Junior in his lap. Anubis took a sip of his wine and held a cigar in one hand. Yes, Ryo was everything he'd imagined and then some.



Shu, in the mean time, had seduced Wufei. It turned out that with all of his friends being together, Wufei had been terribly lonely. It hadn't been all that difficult to bring Wufei around once he'd realized that Shu wasn't going to leave.

Shu came home one night happy as a lark. "It's about time." Shin said in the kitchen as Shu came in for a cookie fresh out of the oven. "Are you going to keep him or let him go now that you've had him?"

Shu looked surprised at that. "I'm not letting him go! It took me four weeks to land Wufei, he's mine!"

Shin looked surprised. "You've declared everlasting love before, Shu. How do you know this one will last?"

Shu snatched another cookie from the baking sheet and grinned, "Because Wufei told me that if he ever caught me with anyone else, he'd fry my ass and then castrate me."

Shin almost dropped the plate of cookies he was holding. "He what?!"

"Isn't he sweet?" Shu gushed. "No one ever loved me enough to fight me."

Shin blinked, confused and then shrugged with a smile. "So long as you're happy, Shu. One word of advice, though. I wouldn't take him to lightly. Duo's told me about Wufei and he's kind of intense."

"I know." Shu was now sitting on the counter top and his arms wrapped around his knees. "I just love my Little Panda to pieces!"

"So you won't leave him after a week or two?"

Shu looked offended this time. "I'll never leave him!"

"Yeah? Did Wufei threaten to kill you if you did?"

Shu sighed. "Jeeze, Shin. You make Wufei out to be some kind of maniac! He wouldn't kill me. He said he'll just chop my legs off with his sword and then rip out my intestines."

"Oh, yes, that's so much better."



All in all, everyone was very happy.

Nasty even found a boy friend named Millardo, whom she nicknamed Millie. Nasty had come home one night and introduced him to everyone. He was invited to dinner which served as an inspection to see what this guy was made of. Millardo was, to their surprise, very worth Nasty's attention. He was intelligent, thoughtful, and a gentleman.

Though, just before he left for the evening, Ryo took him aside and explained to him exactly what they would do to him if he ever, ever hurt Nasty in the tiniest possible way. Ryo was very graphic in his description and advised him to keep acting like a gentleman, especially when the two of them were alone.

Millardo left Nasty's house looking slightly green, but he wasn't scared off.


The end








My biggest inspirations were THEN HAPPY I and THE RONIN UNIVERSE-AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF A GUNDAM PILOT ON THE STREET. Both were found on http://minkland.dreamhost.cm/rg.1htm

Both of these stories were extremely excellent!

THEN HAPPY I told a very realistic account of how the Ronins and the Warlords would live together after the war. I also give the writer of this story credit for the pairings of Rajura/Naaza, Ryo/Anubis (hot!), and Sh'ten/Shin.

As for Shu/Wufei, I felt bad for them. In almost ever fanfiction, they're alone. It's always them who are the odd ones out in their groups. So I paired them and I think it would worked out rather well. Wufei hates weakness and Shu's the strongest person on the planet. Wufei loves justice and Shu IS justice. I'll have to do more fiction with those two as a couple.

THE RONIN UNIVERSE-AS SEEN THROUGH THE EYES OF A GUNDAM PILOT ON THE STREET was where I got the idea for the cross over itself. It was, as I said, very good. The characters were very much in character. I didn't like the scientists, though.

Again, if you like this cross over, read the above stories. In fact, I think both are far better than my own story.

Review please!
