Chapter Four: Don't Let Those Rotten Devils Bug You Again
Note: Well, you may have noticed by now, but all of the chapter titles have one distinct thing in common. What is it? That I can't tell you ^.^*. They are all parts of songs- whether translated or not, that's up to you to find out ^^. You see, Kattie is feeling in the mood for games. And so, when this ficcie is finished, I will ask you all to send to me what you think the connection is between all of the chapter titles (besides being parts of songs- a little more specific than that) and the title of the song. The first person to get this will get a lovely prize. (I'll buy ya something) If you want to just put the title of the songs on a review as they chapters are put out- that's fine too. Good luck!
Note: Please review if you read this! I'm ecstatic to presently have 25 reviews huggles all you nice reviewers and gives you chocolate (unless you're allergic ^^*) I'm so happy I could cry! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU! May you get all the happiness you deserve! (which is a lot)
Note: For those of you who do not use a system of speed using miles but rather kilometers… I believe that 80 mph is 128.72 kilometers per hour… (doing the math herself and isn't too bright at the moment) Well… a mile is 1.609 kilometers and a kilometer is .621 miles… So if you want to correct me go right ahead. If I'm doing this right than 5 miles per hour should be about 8 kilometers per hour. I hope that helps ^^.
Disclaimer: Gah! Just have to rub it in every chapter! I don't own Gundam Wing. I never will. This is MERELY a fanfiction.

"Hurry up, Maxwell! The next shuttle leaves in 15 minutes!" Wufei yelled, glaring at his watch.
"I'm coming! Hold your horses." Duo replied, galloping down the stairs.
No one had actually told Quatre about the letter. They had told him the reason for their leaving was based on the mission being sent earlier than they had believed and had that they had been requested to leave for the lunar base on the moon as quickly as possible. Although he didn't seem quite convinced, Quatre took them for their word and prepared to leave with them.
"Are you sure the lunar base is alright?" Duo asked Wufei quietly when he reached him.
"The only people there are laborers and tourists," Wufei pointed out, "And the hotels have the best security we could find. He should be safe there."
"I hope so… What am I supposed to do if they take Quatre?" Duo questioned in a panicked kind of voice, "Who's going to stop you and Hiiro from killing me? Oh God… You'd probably gang up on me and throw me out a window…" Suspiciously, Duo looked Wufei in the eyes. "That wouldn't be very nice."
"Shut up, Maxwell. Nothing's going to happen to Quatre." The Chinese boy spat back.
"Are you ready yet?" Hiiro asked Duo, entering the room with his always-present signature glare.
"Of course," Duo grinned, "Just waiting for you, slow poke."
Glaring at him for another moment, Hiiro stepped out of the house and into the car, where Quatre was waiting in the backseat. He stared out the window, deep in thought and didn't seem to notice Hiiro's presence. A sad frown was firmly placed on his lips, making him look unnatural.
"Quatre?…" Hiiro whispered, looking at him curiously. "Is something wrong."
"Nothing's wrong," Quatre replied, in an unusually calm, yet serious voice, "… It's going to rain."
Peering out the window to see the sky, Hiiro nodded. "It happens a lot on Earth."
"Yeah," Quatre didn't take his eyes away from the window, "I wish it would rain on the colonies."
"I'm HERE!" Duo practically yelled, throwing a large sports bag into the trunk. "Did you miss me?"
His "trance" broken, Quatre smiled back at the hyperactive pilot. "Of course we did."
"We were considering sending a postcard to you with how long you took." Hiiro snapped.
"Well… Trowa's not back from ticket sales yet anyway." Duo pointed out. "We can't leave without our tickets."
Wufei knocked on the window to be let in. "Maxwell, unlock the door."
Grinning, Duo knocked back to him on the window. "Cold, Chang?"
"Maxwell… Let me in the car NOW!"
"I don't think I will…"
"LET ME IN THE GODDAMN CAR NOW OR SO HELP ME I'LL CHOP THAT BRAID OFF AND HANG YOU WITH IT!"
Sensing that a huge and very bloody fight may occur if the door wasn't opened soon, Duo unlocked the door, trying very hard and unsuccessfully to hold back his laughter.
As Wufei slid into the seat next to Duo, he fixed a death glare on him. "You will NEVER do that again."
"You have my word." Duo replied, placing one hand over his heart and one in the air.
"Like that's worth anything." Wufei snapped.
As the rain began to pour down, Trowa came running towards the car. His face seemed emotionless as usual but if you took a closer look at his eyes you could see a hint of fear etched in them. Opening the door, he sat in the front seat next to Hiiro, who was the driver.
"Quatre," Trowa said calmly, "I forgot my jacket. Would you go get it for me?"
"Sure." Quatre answered, opening the door. "I'll be right back."
With Quatre of out earshot, Trowa turned to the other pilots. "Change of plans. They attempted an abduction at Mr. Winner's manor a few minutes ago. They're ruthless this time." He looked out the window. "The housekeeper and two maids were killed and the chauffeur, another maid, and two male servants were severely injured. We need to leave immediately but we shouldn't risk them finding us by our flight record."
Hiiro nodded, gravely. "We should go to a deserted neighborhood. They shouldn't be able to track him if there aren't any kind of electronic equipment for monitoring."
"There's a forest near here," Duo pointed out, "They won't expect us to stay near here. And there's an inn. It's small but it should be okay."
"Alright then, if you know the way, that should work." Hiiro replied.
"Of course I know the way! This mind," Duo hit his head lightly, "has a photographic memory."
"Be careful, Maxwell. You don't want to damage your head anymore than it is already." Wufei said, grinning slightly.
Scowling at Wufei, Duo turned to Trowa, who seemed to be the only one in the vehicle who didn't think he was an idiot. "There are signs. We'll just follow the signs."
"Quatre's coming back." Trowa said, quietly, watching Quatre lock the door to the house.
"Is this it?" He questioned Trowa, holding the jacket up to his window.
Trowa nodded and opened the door, taking the coat from him. "Thank you."
Quatre smiled back at him. "You're welcome. I'm sorry you got wet walking out in this rain. I hope you don't catch a cold."
"I'm fine." Trowa replied, smiling ever so slightly.
Sitting back in his seat next to Duo, who was crammed in the middle, Quatre continued his gazing at the sky. The rain was pouring down now and droplets slid down his window.
"We got a message from headquarters," Hiiro lied to the blonde boy, "Our rendezvous point has been changed to the forest near here."
"Oh, good," Quatre grinned, "It's a good opportunity to see the Earth's weather. I've never seen rain before."
"Really?" Duo asked, a shocked expression replacing his ordinary grin. "Well… it's not much. It just makes you really wet and cold."
"But look how pretty it is," Quatre argued, "It looks like the sky is crying… crystal tears."
There was a moment of silence as Duo thought about this. "I guess I'd never thought of it like that. But I guess it is pretty nice as long as you're not out in it catching pneumonia."
Hiiro started up the car and began driving towards the forest, which, based on the many road signs, seemed to be to the north. While the storm worsened, lightning flashed across the sky and there came the loud rumble of thunder.
Staring a few seconds out the window fearfully, Quatre looked to Duo with a worried expression. "W-what was that? An explosion?"
Duo couldn't help but grin at the question. Quatre seemed like a child with his questions about the storm. Innocent and curious. "It's just thunder and lightning," Duo told him, "Don't worry about it."
"That's lightning?" Quatre asked, excitedly. "It's so bright!"
The car continued to drive towards the woods as Quatre watched the storm through his window, a grin firmly placed on his lips and his eyes shining with the thrill of the new experience. This continued for a few hours until they finally drove by a sign that read "Evorg Woods."
"How far to the hotel?" Duo asked, groggily. "I'm getting carsick."
"Just a couple more minutes." Hiiro replied.
"If you get sick, Maxwell, I swear I'll kill you." Wufei spat.
Grinning weakly at him, Duo shook his head. "I'll make sure to aim at you."
In a few minutes they reached the hotel called "Forest Inn". It was fairly small but it still looked large enough for the 5 of them, even if it was somewhat crowded. The style of the building used for the inn was more or less that of a cabin. Trees loomed around it making it seem as if it belonged there, like it was part of the woods.
Luckily, Duo was all talk, and didn't seem to really be sick, but merely wanted an excuse to complain. "Could you have driven any slower?" He asked Hiiro, as he slid out of the car, "I think I saw a snail pass us back there."
"I was already going 5 (mph) over the speed limit. I'm sorry but I'd rather not get pulled over for speeding." Hiiro retorted, pulling his small bag out of the trunk of the car.
"Why not? We should get back in the car and drive a couple laps around the hotel at 80 miles per hour. If you do I'll yell 'Go speed racer!' the whole way. It'll be great!" Duo said, excitedly.
Hiiro stared at him for a moment in morbid curiosity. "…No."
"Okay, but just you wait. One day in battle you'll just be cruising along and you'll hear echoing through the audio communication devices. 'Go speed racer! Go!' And then you will know the true speed limit is set only by your desire for acceleration."
"You're a moron, Maxwell. I should knock some sense into you."
"I'll get that bag for you."
Quatre took his bag from the trunk and smiled at Trowa. "It's beautiful."
* * * * * * * * * * * *
2327 Hours
The pilots had long since gotten into their rooms. What few belongings they had brought with them were unpacked and placed in the appropriate locations. Much to Quatre's great sadness, the storm had ended and the night was very still. A waxing gibbous shone in the sky, showing that the moon would soon be full.
Quatre was sleeping on his bed while the other four pilots played a game of poker. Due to cheating, Duo was winning, which was making Wufei and Hiiro very angry. With their current round's end, Duo threw his cards to the table. "I must be a genius. Five aces!"
"Duo," Trowa said quietly, "We're playing with one deck. It's not possible for you to have five aces."
"Maxwell, you cheater." Wufei spat. "I refuse to play until you stop your unjust activities."
"I'm not cheating… One was a 2, just looked like an ace. That's all." Duo grinned sheepishly.
"It still puzzles me," Hiiro told him, "How you could get a straight and a full house in the same hand."
Laughing nervously, Duo set his cards back in the deck. "I must be more skilled than I thought."
"I'm going to bed." Trowa said, putting his cards down. "Good luck."
Within the next couple of hours, the other pilots had also gone to sleep. The doors and windows were locked and bolted. Hiiro had set up a temporary burglar alarm in Quatre's room, which was being shared with Duo. The pilots felt that Quatre was fairly secure, but they were wrong.
* * * * * * * * *
0306 Hours- the next morning
"NO!" A voice screamed. "What have you done? Get away! AHHH!"
Quatre shot up in his bed and looked around. That voice… could it have been a dream? He tried to dismiss it as a nightmare but he could feel a sense of fear from somewhere else in the hotel. "D-Duo?" He asked quietly.
Turning over in his sleep, Duo failed to awaken, murmuring something about daisies being the nicest flower.
Reaching for his gun a million thoughts raced through Quatre's mind. 'They wouldn't come in the middle of a war. It wouldn't make sense. They haven't even sent a letter. It's fine. Even if they do take me they couldn't hurt Duo. He's too skilled. They wouldn't come now anyway, it would be two weeks earlier than usual. It was just a nightmare.'
His comforting thoughts ended with the realization that his gun was no longer were he had set it the day before. Closing his eyes for a second as his last feelings of hope disappeared, he took a deep breath. Opening his eyes, he looked straight into the masked face of one of his past kidnappers. "I'll go quietly," Quatre said, looking the person in the eyes, "Just don't hurt anyone else."
"Besides you, you mean?" The intruder asked, grinning.
"Go ahead and hurt me," He replied, "But I can't allow you to hurt anyone else."
"You think you're in a position to bargain with me?" The kidnapper questioned, throwing his or her fist towards Quatre's stomach.
Quatre caught it and squeezed tightly. "Yes, I do."
Taken back by Quatre actually having the ability to do something other than be hurt himself, the kidnapper glared at him. "Fine, then. Don't move. This will be far more painful if you don't cooperate."
As the kidnapper began to tie Quatre's hands so tightly he could no longer even feel that they even existed, Quatre smiled at the sleeping Duo. With him catching a glimpse of the broken security system, he suddenly realized that the other pilots had learned of a letter being received.
'They tried to protect me.' Quatre thought, any fear of the situation he was in dissipating.
The rope around his hands dug in so far that they began to bleed, the blood seeping to the floor in a small puddle.
"Come on, boy. I have a tight schedule and a pistol handy." The abductor spat, pulling Quatre towards the window.
"Of course…" He replied quietly. 'Good bye my friends. I hope I can survive long enough to thank you.'
End of chapter
Note: What? Has Kattie really left the fanfiction at such a mean cliffhanger? Heh heh ^^ Please don't kill me ^^*. Cliffhangers are good for keeping peoples' attention. Don't you want to know what happens? If you do you HAVE to read the next chapter or at least part of it. And so claps hands together I have used the cheapest way to keep your attention. Do you hate me for it? This chapter IS even longer than the last ^^ I love you all!
By the way- a gibbous is the moon where it is mostly full with a crescent's worth of darkness on the left side.
Sorry if there are typos- I only edit once before uploading so that you don't have to wait too long ^^*. If you want you can send me all my typos and errors and I'll fix them ^^.
Please review! Reviews equal inspiration equals more chapters!
