Chapter 1



She awoke to the rocking motion of the van. Her head was spinning while she felt sharp pains at every bump. She sat up to have her head hit something, making a curse leave her lips. She felt her way around until she was pushed to the ground from the movement.

"Does anyone know how to drive here?" she exclaimed, grabbing her head. Suddenly, everything stopped. She was thrown back but, was caught by someone.

"Hey babe, are you alright?"

"Does it look like I'm alright? That crazy driving is trying to kill me!" The van door was slid open. She was pulled up and started for the door. She grabbed onto something.

"Alright. Do you want this the easy way or the hard way?" he asked.

"I'll take it the hard way!" He turned.

"Heero! Get in here and get her! She asked for the hard way!" She looked to see a figure climb in. He walked over to them.

"What's the problem Duo?" His voice was flat with no emotion.

"She wants the hard way out." Heero grabbed for her only to receive a slap. He grabbed her wrist tightly. She let go of what she was holding to push him back. He pinned her her down. They kept rolling until they fell out of the van. She felt the hard ground under her. He let one of her hands free which caused her to quickly go for the last place where she saw the gun. His hand grabbed hers before she reached it. He glared at her but, she returned it to him.

"Hn." She could feel his grip harden on her making her want to pull back.

"Hey babe! Say you give up and it'll be all over!"

"Don't call me babe! I have a name you know, unless you're too stupid to comprehend that." Her arms were pushed to the ground.

She paced across the floor in the office. She turned to him. And only him. The one that she knew could help the fate of her friend. She stopped alas and faced him once again. Looking at his cold blue eyes, light brown hair, fancy soldiers uniform. She purple eyes glared up at him. She pushed her black hair back.

"I don't know what's going on here but, I want you to find her. Whom ever took her, you'll be the only one to get her back. I also want these people to be alive, understand Treize?" She paced once again while waiting for a response. He leaned back in his chair with a smile.

"It will cost you of course." She glared at him.

"I've worked for you for a long time Treize. Don't back out on me now!" She was waging her finger at her.

"I know Rei. I know. I'll send out my best men to search for her. Everything will be reported back to you. Once her location is found, I'll make sure you are the first to be informed."

"Good. I must go. I have a meeting in the morning." With that, she left him.

She leaned against the wall in chains. A tray of food was beside her but, she hadn't touched it. Who could eat at a time like this?

'I'll get my hands on that Heero if it's the last thing I do. I'll kill him, and hang his head on my wall,' she thought. She didn't look to see who opened the door. She heard the footsteps getting closer and then, they stopped.

"Babe, why aren't you eating? You're wasting valuble food there."

"Hn."

"Now you stop that. You're starting to sound like Heero. It's your own fault you're in chains. I told you your options. But no. You didn't listen to be. Nobody listens to me. I'm always the one left in the back. Sure, Heero gets all the fun of your two way mirror. That's where he hid you know. You just had to come home early, didn't you?"

"At least I work! You don't know how hard it is to be me until you've went threw what I did. Don't start with me Duo Maxwell. If you do, the next time you see me will be at the time of your death!" He just gave a laugh.

"If I'm not mistaken, it'll be your death by the cause of your own actions." He picked up the tray and started on his way. He stopped at the door.

"Ironic, isn't it? How I know so many things that you would dream to know. Perhaps, the destruction of your lovely Maxwell Church to where you lived? Remember the screams of your beloved ones dying? In your arms? It was a nice site, I do say. Too bad the whole Coloney wasn't destroyed. Perhaps, you could have went---"

"What do you know about anything you pothedic bitch? All you are is cold hearted like everyone else in this world. Not caring about anyone or anything! You don't know anything about me! You're lucky I don't kill you right now! You belong dead. You should have never lived. I feel sorry for your parents!"

"I am the Perfect Soldier, pilot. Remember me and remember me well for I will be your end." She turned to him with those green eyes of hers that seemed to taunt him. He quickly picked up his gun and fired it at her. Before he could fire the second shot, he was pushed to the ground.

"Let me kill that bitch! I'm going to be the one to kill her and nobody else will! You better get off me Heero! Or else your soul will be damned!" She glared into the darkness.

"You always have to jump in, don't you Heero? Why not let me be killed? It would have made things easier for you." A man with blonde hair and green eyes quikcly ran over to her. He quickly unchained her and looked at her arm. She pulled her arm away.

"I don't need any help."

"Don't worry. I'm not going to hurt you Miss Makoto."

'Should I cut the crap and be nice to him? He's showed me so much kindness,' she thought. She felt someone pulling her up and quickly pulled back, slamming into the wall. She looked to see it was Heero.

"Miss Makoto. Come with us. There is no other choice for you. That bullet must come out."

"I won't go anywhere with any of you." The man looked at Heero. He grabbed her arm which she tried to pull out of only to find herself on the ground. She wiggled like a warm to get out of his grasps. None of it work. She found herself face to face with him once again. Looking into those perssian blue eyes of his. She felt the pressure of his hands hard once again.

'What would Rei-chan do?' she thought. She was brought back to her senses by being pulled up. She felt the sting in one of her arms. She looked over to see a man with brown hair and green eyes holding a needle. She could feel herself becoming tired already. Her eyes closed, muscles weakend, and she fell forward, into his arms. He picked her up.

"Come on Heero. We have to get that bullet out of her." He followed the man.

"Quatre, Trowa, just kill her," scuffed Duo with a glare.
