Chapter 3
Hide and Seek
"You don't really belong here?," the person asked. From around the deserted corner Irene walked into view smiling. "I know a secret and I can help."
"What's your price?" She looked up at them with a grin.
"Nothing really. It's just that you have no clue what you're getting yourself into. You have no clue what's outside your little reality. I'm here to collect my money and I don't want you to take that money away from me."
"Are you with the Preventers or something," Quatre asked.
"No where near it."
"Then what do you want with her?"
"Her life has prize money along with it. If I can get then I get the money. Got it?"
Duo and Quatre shook their heads. "What the hell are you talking about babe?"
Irene's smile turned wicked. "I'm not exactly what you think I am. So, if you don't want to get hurt I suggest you leave this up to me."
"Who the hell are you," Duo growled. Then suddenly, there was a flash of remembrance and everything seemed to dwindle to nothing. Around the corner came a girl with dark hair. Her hair was intertwined with blue ribbons, she had a black Superman shirt on that was opened slightly in the front, and cerulean eyes that burned with emotion and coldness. She was looking at them all with accusing eyes until she finally stared at Irene.
"Go away," she said. "I'm fine here and that damn collector has enough little toys. He can find another."
Duo and Quatre were both thoroughly confused. They didn't understand a word even though they were fluent in all earthly languages.
"I'm a bounty hunter sweetie and your bounty is enough to keep me living for a good 6 Kiros."
The new girl's eyes narrowed. Duo leaned over to Quatre.
"Are they speaking a language?," he whispered.
"I don't know. But I think Irene said something offensive to the dark haired girl."
Duo giggled. "When I was little I used to watch Spanish TV and try to figure out what was happening."
Quatre nudged Duo in the ribs just as they started speaking again.
"Now come on sweetie, if you come along nicely I won't hurt you and all will be right with the world."
"Whatever," the new girl growled in English. Duo and Quatre both looked up.
"Who are you?," Quatre asked. The dark haired girl's glance washed over Quatre. Quatre shivered involuntarily. She smirked.
"You've a strong empathetic ," she stated, "My name is Tira and I think you're after me too. You're doing the wrong thing."
"Are you pleading now?," Irene asked.
"If you're going to try to do something," Tira started.
"What's going on here?". Everybody turned to see the principal behind Tira. "you're all late for home room! You all now get detentions!"
"Whatever lady," Irene growled. "I'm not taking this bullshit anymore. Now come with me Tira!" Tira dropped her books and started running. Irene growled, then yelled., She threw her head back and black dragons wings sprouted from her back ripping her shirt off and revealing a monster that looked like a werewolf on wings. Its wings started beating and started flying after Tira. The principal fell to the floor with the force of the wind.
Duo and Quatre started running after the creature and Tira with their guns drawn.
The principal blinked in shock, her glasses strewn on her face, then she screamed with all her might.
Duo and Quatre turned another corner in time to see he beast fly out of an already broken window. Duo and Quatre followed and saw it just hovering in the sky looking for Tira. Duo ran to his car while Quatre kept an eye on the beast. Duo rummaged through the glove compartment and found a walkie-talkie.
"Death calling Mute! Death calling Mute! Can you hear me? We've got the weirdest situation in the world happening."
"Mute this is Death," Heero's voice buzzed through the speaker, "Clarify your situation."
"Um, we found the target, there seems to be something else after her. And by something else I mean some kind of monster."
"Death you know there's no such things."
"I beg to differ Mute. Now get as many people you can down here. Shit it's starting to move." Duo quickly closed the door and started the engine. He drove over to Quatre who hopped in. Duo drove after the monster and screamed into the receiver where they were going. Quatre stood up to hang out of the sun roof and told Duo where to go.
After and hour of driving, no other vehicles had joined them, but the beast finally landed in the woods. Duo parked the black car at the side of the road and ran to the woods. As they neared they heard screaming and different things being broken.
"Hold it right there!," Duo screamed pointing his gun at the dark beast. The beast turned around and the two humans gasped. Tira had a blue orb in her hands and two silver wings protruding from her back. The beast turned back to Tira to only be shot with the blue orb. It flew back hitting and breaking five trees until it landed unconscious.
Duo and Quatre stared in shock at the broken trees then turned their guns at Tira. She had collapsed to her knees and was trying to breathe. She looked up at them with mild confusion in her eyes. Her wings seemed tired at her sides also.
"What the fuck are you?," Duo screamed.
"I'm not from here."
"Obviously," Duo said, with sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"You don't understand! You have no clue what the hell you're doing! If you're going to kill someone kill him!" She limply pointed to the still unconscious beast.
"You didn't answer my question!"
Her eyes flickered over to Quatre who took a step back. "You feel it can't you? If you're going to bring me back to him I'd rather die!"
"Who?," Quatre asked, bringing his gun down and taking a step forward.
"He's a collector. He collects the glamour from a species and either shows them in his stupid museum or collects them for his own uses." She shuddered and rubbed her arms. "He picks male and female from that species, no matter where they stand in rank." She sighed and looked down to the mud. Her shoulders started shaking as tears started dropping lightly to the ground. "You don't understand," she whispered.
Everything around them seemed to come to a full mute, with the exception of her crying. Duo and Quatre both looked at each other then back to Tira. Duo glanced at the beast who still hadn't moved.
They were snapped out of this mute state when two hands went down on their shoulders. They both twirled around in the same second all the noises rushed back to them. They heard sirens and questions.
"Duo!" Heero screamed, shaking the braided man's shoulders. Duo blinked then turned back to the girl. Quatre turned back also to find that she was gone.
"Where…," Quatre started.
"It took us almost an hour to find you guys here," Wufei explained., Duo glanced over to the broken trees to find that nothing was laying amongst them.
"Where…," Duo asked.
"Where what?," Trowa asked. Duo and Quatre glanced at each other.
"This doesn't make sense," Duo said to Quatre.
"What?," Wufei asked.
"Where did they go?," Quatre asked.
"Who?," Trowa asked.
"They could've have flown you know," Duo answered,
"Flown?," Heero questioned.
"This is starting to aggravate me," Wufei stated, rubbing his temples.
"We'll explain when we get home," Duo answered smiling at Heero. Heero nodded then started back for the truck. As they left several emergency vehicles made their way to the site of the fight.
*~*
Quatre and Duo both sipped on their tea as the other pilots stared at them. Quatre placed down his cup.
"You know it's rude to stare especially when we're having tea," Quatre stated. Duo nodded in agreement and sipped his tea again. Heero slammed his fist onto the table. Quatre and Duo both jumped at the sound. Duo put his cup down at the table as Heero sank into the couch.
"So?," Heero asked.
Quatre sighed and looked up at Trowa who didn't help his anxiety. "Well, where should we start?," he asked turning to Duo.
"How about the beginning?," Wufei answered.
"Let's see," Duo said tapping his finger to his chin, "we were talking about ditching school so we could walk through the halls and see if we could find the girl. Then this girl named Irene walks around the corner saying how she knows what we're doing and she knows how to get the girl."
"But then the target walks around the corner," Quatre continued, "and then they started talking in a bizarre language. She said I was a strong empathize then says that we were making a mistake in trying to capture her."
"Then," Duo interrupted, "the idiot principal waltzes in trying to gives us detention. Then Irene went all hay-wire and turned to his ugly thing with black wings. Tira ran, the thing flew, then we ran."
"We followed the beast to the forest," Quatre explained, "When we got there Tira threw a blue thing at the beast thing. It knocked down five trees!"
Duo nodded. "Then she collapsed and started rambling about this collector dude. She had really pretty wings and everything was silent and stuff."
"Then you arrived and they were both gone," Quatre finished. Duo looked at them and smiled triumphantly. Heero leaned forward in his seat.
"Were you listening to what you were saying?," the 01 pilot asked. Duo blinked and nodded. "Are you sure? Because you're describing some sort of sci-fi epic." Duo stood up.
"You think I would lie?," he asked, obviously hurt by the question.
"No, but I don't think you saw what you're rambling about." Duo sat down with a pout on his face.
"But it would explain a lot of things. Like the times when I sort of blanked out in the middle of the hallway after I saw her. It explains that," Quatre said.
"But it doesn't explain the Heero feeling," Duo continued.
"The Heero feeling?," Trowa asked.
"Yeah, whenever Heero's walking in the halls or coming closer I just sort of know it. A Heero Feeling," Duo explained.
"I've got two words for you," Wufei said leaning forward, "CAT Scan."
Duo growled. "Listen we're telling you guys the truth. We didn't decide to do this as a joke. We have no clue what's happening either, but it's gotta be something that we don't fully know about."
The all sat back in their chairs to think about the events.
*~*
The rain pounded down against the glass windows. The lightning illuminated the small room where Quatre was sitting up and Trowa was silently sleeping. Quatre turned to Trowa and smiled as the thunder boomed outside. Quatre shivered and rubbed his arms as he stood up and shuffled his way out of the room. He walked through the hallway until he got to the backroom of the mansion. Quatre sat down on the couch and watched from the French windows the rain beating down against the pane. He smiled and yawned.
Outside, there was a garden where a small lily pool was being flooded and where several animal type statues watched the water below it. His eyes were slowly drawn shut, but then he was jerked awake by a sudden flash of lightning. Quatre rubbed his arms again and looked outside as another flash of lightning illuminated the garden and room. Quatre leaned forward. Had he seen something? Quatre walked up to the window and squinted. Was there a flash of silver at one of the statues? Quatre looked up at the sky for the answer it boomed twice, compensating for the lightning before. He was ready to open the door when the lightning came from the sky. Quatre looked over and found that the silver was actually part of a wing. A shivering wing.
Quatre unlocked the door and jogged over to the statue. In the arms of the dragon statue was Tira. Her eyes were closed, her hair was drenched, her clothes were drenched, and her teeth were clenched tightly together. Quatre put his hand to her forehead.
She flinched away, but his hand was there long enough to know she felt like a block of ice. She wasn't awake still. Quatre quickly cradled her in his arms and jogged back inside. He rolled her onto the couch he was sitting at before. She quickly rolled into a ball and shivered violently.
Quatre watched her. He understood what she meant before. About some of the species that he collected were toys. Call him naïve, but at least he got it. Quatre rubbed his arms and noticed different bruises all of her blue, pale body.
Quatre looked up with determination in his eyes. He quickly tip-toed out of the room and called for the others.
GWingAngel: What do you think? Is it interesting? Do you hate it? If you do go right ahead and tell me. I'll cry and stuff and probably hunt you down and make you say nice things, but if you really think my fic sux go right ahead. Hee hee. I dare ya. Did I mention I have a Dragon and a Digimon? Hee hee. Please REVIEW!!!!!!!!
