Chapter 3
2/15/02
I don't own Shin Kidousenki Gundam Wing... but I do own Yumeko! :P
Wufei was woken from his dreams by a shrill scream. One that sounded like a bird ready to croak... kick the bucket, die, for lack of better words. Or maybe an anemic cat...? Whatever it sounded like, he knew well enough that he shouldn't have heard it in the first place. Now... finding out who screamed was the hard part.
He instinctively grabbed his gun, which he kept under his pillow for precautions. He was glad now that he decided to do it... sleeping on that cold, metal barrel for the longest time wasn't that pleasant.
He rose swiftly from his bed, throwing the covers off none too lightly. He was glad he kept his socks on his feet to keep the noise down when he walked on the hard-wood floors. Wufei crept slowly down the hallway, keeping close to the wall, avoiding any moonlight that would come through the shaded windows.
He finally reached the door at the end of the hallway which he thought was where the scream came from. 'I wonder... this is Trowa and Quatre's room.... Could they be... ya know... and I just mistook?' He leaned against the wall, listening. There was nothing. Absolutely nothing to be heard.
He edged his hand to the golden knob, wondering if it was just him and he was hearing things, or just them... doing whatever they would do... at night...
"Wufei?" A voice asked quietly.
Wufei turned his head slightly, to aknowledge the voice. "Hai... you heard it too, then?"
Duo raised an eyebrow. "Actually, I was just up getting some water..."
The chinese youth let his shoulders relax a bit as he sighed in exasperation. "Baka..."
Duo smirked. "Listen, Wufei. You need to lighten up, you probably just heard something from your dreams... or whatever. I didn't hear anything, and I've been up for a little while now."
The chinese youth glared. "Just shut-up. I know I heard something."
"I agree." Another voice spoke lightly.
Wufei nodded. "Good. At least Yui doesn't have wax build up in his ears!"
"You think it came from Quatre and Trowa's room?" Hiiro asked, holding his gun and looking around Wufei to the door. Yumeko stood behind him, holding her gun, looking slightly panicked.
Wufei put his hand on the knob. "When I give the word, we go in. Okay?"
The three nodded and got ready, Hiiro and Yumeko with their guns, and Duo with his fists clenched.
But they didn't rush in. Just as Wufei began to turn the knob, the door burst open and a figure wearing all black sped out of the room. It seemed as if the figure was running on it's arms and legs. After the initial shock, the three with guns began firing.
"We should try and shoot his legs!" Yumeko shouted, firing. "We need to know who this is!"
Wufei growled slightly as he tried to shoot, but the figure was bouncing everywhere in the hallway. And it seemed as if he was lunging off of the walls like they were rubber.
Then, one shot found it's way to the figure's posterior, and then another shot to it's knee, and it fell to the ground in pain.
Wufei frowned. "Way to show off, Yui."
Hiiro only stared back with an odd glint in his eyes.
Yumeko and Duo approached the figure and hovered over. "So," Duo asked, kicking it in it's stomache. "Who do you think it is?"
Yumeko raised a tired eyebrow at the action. "Um... the dude we're supposed to be after probably sent him. That Mattaki Buke fellow..."
Wufei picked the figure up and slammed him against the wall none too lightly. "So, tell us who you are and what your business here is!"
"No way.... scum..." The voice came from beneath the hood of the jacket he was wearing.
Hiiro gave a sideways glare to the figure and then nodded to Duo and Yumeko who were to his right. "You two check on Quatre and Trowa. See what happened to them."
No words were spoken as the two ran past and into the last room in the hallway.
"You were smart..." Came the voice again, sounding like more like a croak, very hoarse. "Sending them away like that. Wouldn't want them to see all the blood I'm going to spill..."
Wufei slammed him against the wall again, keeping his forearm up to his neck. "Oh shut up!"
Hiiro cocked his gun up to his forehead, "Who are you?"
"If the Chinese bastard would kindly remove his bloody arm from my throat, I would be pleased to tell you." He said, sneering the word 'Chinese'.
Wufei's eyes narowed as he kneed him in the gut, making him cough up a small amount of blood. "Tell us now, or I'll make sure your reproductive organs go under major rearrangement."
The man snarled. "My name is Toki."
Hiiro moved his gun closer to touch the man's forehead. "Why are you here?"
"Mattaki Buke-san sends his greetings." The man chuckled.
Even though Hiiro's body didn't move, his head visably back away a bit. 'So, Mattaki Buke did send him....'
Wufei gazed at Toki's face from the side, it was partially covered by his black hood, but Wufei could see his dark, yellowish tanned skin, and his oddly colored eyes, a golden yellow. He lowered his eyes to Toki's hands. He was surprised to find that they were the same yellowish tan color. He wanted to assume it was because the man smoked too many cigarettes, and as a result from the nicotine, his skin turned yellow, but he couldn't smell cigarettes on him, only an odd metallic smell.... almost like blood, freshly spilled.
Hiiro kept his gun pressed on his assailant's forehead. One breath, one inch, one muscle tensed, and his head would be splattered all over the wall. It was the way he liked it, total control in any situation.
He breathed in and out, repeating his mantra 'One move, one shot, dead. One move, one shot, dead. One move, one shot, dead....'
**************
Yumeko and Duo flung open the cracked, broken door of Quatre and Trowa's room. It was totally thrashed. Furniture lay in chaos, papers were scattered all over the floor, and the bed was flipped over and the sheets were on the other side of the room.
Duo rushed over to the bed and tried to flip it back over. When it was apparent that he couldn't do it, he growled at Yumeko. "Aren't ya gonna help me, damnit?!"
She blinked and went over to help him. "Gomen..." She whispered while helping Duo flip the queen size bed back. They both gasped at the sight that met them. Quatre and trowa were indeed underneath the bed, crushed under it's weight. Blood soaked the white sheets that partially covered their bodies. Claw marks mared the smooth skin of their backs and the only thing that was heard was Quatre's small, animal-like, whimpers.
Duo rushed over immediatly to Quatre. "Quatre!? Quatre! Daijobu ka?!" He screamed, his calm facade disapearing, and one of panic, worry, anger, sadness, replacing it.
Quatre opened his sapphire orbs in pain. "D-Duo...?" He asked weakly. When Duo nodded, a bit relieved, he continued. "I had a dream... protect the little girl... sh-she needs help."
Duo shook his head, "What are you talking about? Calm down, there's no little girl, Quatre. We'll get you some help soon."
While Duo was checking up on Quatre, Yumeko went to check on Trowa. He seemed to be unconsious because she could still feel a pulse on his neck.
"Trowa-san! Wake-up now, Trowa-san!" She called to him, lightly slapping his face. She didn't have much experience waking up people, so she hoped she was doing it right.
Slowly, one emerald green eye opened painfully. "Nani?" He groaned, trying to move his body. But she put her hand on his shoulder, making him stay down.
"Don't move," She said, looking around the room. "Someone broke in... Hiiro-oniisan and Wufei-san are with him."
"Where's Quatre?"
"Duo's with him. Don't worry about your koi, he's alright. You'll both be alright soon." She answered, turning and looking at Duo and Quatre. Duo gave her a half-worried glance and looked back down to Quatre, trying to calm him. She whispered so no one heard, "At least I hope so."
***************
"Are you going to talk or what?!" Wufei demanded. He was getting really frustrated. This guy, in some sick way, reminded him of Duo. But, one look at his yellow skin wiped that thought away.
"Certainly not to a Chinese invalid!" Toki croaked, smirking. "That girl.... she's your sister right?" He asked, looking at Hiiro.
Hiiro only glared in response. 'How does he know that...?'
Toki continued. "Are you sure you can trust that little slut? She'd turn on you in a second."
Hiiro's glare hardened. "What did you say?" He held his gun tighter, his finger was so close to pulling the trigger and ending this guys pathetic life. How dare he speak of his sister like that! Sure... He hardly knew a thing about her, but still! As Wufei would say-
"Injustice!" The chinese youth proclaimed. "How dare you speak of a woman in that manner!"
Toki snarled. "But if you knew her like I did... you might not say that." He turned his eyes back to Hiiro. "She would turn on anyone to get what she wanted. She's manipulative, sneaky, a liar, and a little bitch."
Hiiro pushed his gun into his assailant's forehead, making a red imprint. "Give me a reason not to shoot you right now! And make it a good one."
Toki made an effort to spit at him, and that's when it happened. Hiiro's finger pulled in the trigger, sending dark red blood to splatter all over the wall behind them. His lifeless body fell to the ground while his yellow eyes were still open, giving him an eerie look.
"That wasn't a good enough reason, bakayaro...." He said, kicking him in his stomache.
Wufei raised an eyebrow. "Now, if that was me, Yui, I would've shot him a long time ago!"
***************
Hiiro sat and tapped at his laptop. It had been a few weeks since Toki had come in the middle of the night. He and Wufei had taken his body and dumped it a ways away from their safehouse. They had cleaned up the mess and Dr. J had sent them to another place to live. It wasn't as close as the other had been, but it was close enough to Mattaki Buke. He figured it was best that they back off anyhow.
Quatre and Trowa had been taken to the hospital by Yumeko and Duo that night. They had claimed that they were attacked by an animal, and were treated. The scars were healing nicely, as as nice as they could.
Hiiro finished typing up his last sentence in his daily report as Yumeko walked in. She sat down on his bed and stared at him while eating a piece of bread. He turned to her, eyeing her "snack". "Kind of bland, don't you think?"
She stuffed the rest of it in her mouth and gulped it down. "Not really. So, what are you up to?" She flicked some of her dark brown hair out of her eyes and watched him turn back to his laptop.
Hiiro heaved a sigh, "Just finishing up a mission report to Dr. J. I was about to go to sleep. Duo, Wufei, and I will be going into town to get some artilary supplies tomorrow. You'll stay with Quatre and Trowa." He said, more of an order than a request. "I'm not as worried about Trowa as I am about Quatre. Trowa tells me Quatre has been having nightmares ever since that intruder came. Plus he hasn't fully gotten his strength back-"
"Say no more," She interupted him, getting the gist of his statement.
He glared at the computer screen before shutting it off. "One more thing...." He looked at her, and was met by her slightly confused gaze. She cocked an eyebrow, letting him continue. "Tell me about you. We're twins, yet I know next to nothing about you." It seemed difficult for him to say. To him, saying those words meant that he cared enough about one person. He didn't need that filthy emotion. He was better off with it, or so he told himself.
Yumeko nodded. "I see. Well, our upbringing with the doctors was basically the same. But while Dr. J was with you the most, I was away from him. Left to train by other officials and soldiers who were following orders. They trained me hard, always saying that I shouldn't be given special treatment just because I was a girl. I wouldn't have wanted special treatment anyways. If I had ever wanted to see you again, I had to do everything they told me to do. But even then, I didn't listen.
"I was always running off and disobeying the officials who were in charge of me. I wanted to find you, but at the same time, I didn't want to train. Alot of times I would get severely punished for it. They's take me to a room and chain me up to the ceiling by my hands and whip me. They said it was a good learning experience. Ha! If it was such a good experience, why did I keep ending up there? In that torment?" She watched Hiiro for a moment, taking in his silent rage for what she had endured. 'But,' She thought silently. 'THAT isn't even half of it.'
Yumeko got up from the bed. "But, other than that, my favorite color is blue and I like cats. Well talk another time, oniisan. I'm going to bed, you should too. Oyasumi nasai."
"Hn. Oyasumi." He grunted and watched her leave him room, closing the door quietly behind her. "Well, tomorrow is work." He said to himself as he threw off his shirt and crawled into bed. His thoughts lingered towards his sister and what Toki has said about her before sleep claimed his exhausted body.
