Chapter 10
Quatre walked over to where Abdul was. Trying once again to get his anger under control. Damn Robert, thought Quatre, what concern is it of his that 'one' of my friends was a Gundam pilot. It's not like I'm so innocent as to know nothing about the Gundams or war. Hell, six year old kids know about them. Sure my father wanted me to be that sheltered and know nothing of it.
"What did you want,l Abdul?" Quatre asked as he approached him.
"You wanted to know when Mr. Yuy arrived?" Abdul said.
"Yes, I did. Is he here?" Quatre said perking up a little.
"Yes, Master." Abdul said.
"Well where is he?" Quatre asked.
"Right over there," Abdul said pointing into the crowd.
Quatre followed where Abdul pointed. For a few seconds he couldn't see Heero but then the blonde spoted the unruly hair and cobalt eyes that belonged to the Wing pilot.
"When did he get here?" Quatre asked.
"I'm not sure, Master Quatre." Abdul responded. "When that crowd began to form around you and that other guy, I noticed him. He was motr to the outside of the crowd. Almost as if he didn't want to be seen."
"I see," said Quatre off handedly. He had been watching Robert and Duo. "That bastard is trying to start something again, damn it. Why can't he just leave Duo alone."
"Would you like me to show him the door for you, Master Quatre?" inquired Abdul.
"Not just you." Quatre said glancing at Abdul, who had a confused expression on his face. "Duo can take care of himself, but I want to see what Heero will do. Don't worry about it for now. If things start to get out of hand I'll do something about it."
"If you say so, Master Quatre." Abdul said before he walked away.
Quatre looked back towards Duo and Robert. Robert was beginning to get a little physical with Duo. Uh oh, this could get bad, Quatre thought as he started to make his wa more over to Heero rather that Duo and Robert. Quatre looked at Robert and Duo. Duo had just turned away from Robert for the second time.
Quatre saw Robert throw a punch at Duo, and started to tell him to look out when Heero moved like lightning to catch Robert's fist before it had gotten half way to it's intended target.
Quatre hurried the rest of the way over to where the three were standing. He was slowed down a little cause a crowd was beginning to form. But as soon as people saw that he was trying to get through a bit of a path cleared out before him.
"You weren't just about to hurt one of my friends now were you?" Heero asked in his regular monotone voice.
"I wasn't aware that there was a gundam pilot convention going on here on this colony." Robert said wrenching his hand out of Heero's grip.
"That fact is irrelevent. You didn't answer my question." Heerol said proving that he wasn't easily swayed from a topic.
"So what if I was." Robert said spitefully. "He is going to end up corrupting Quatre. And I will not let that happen."
"For your information," Quatre spoke up, "he wouldn't corrupt me. He couldn't corrupt me. And what gives you the athority to say what's what with my life."
"You must not know who this is or else you would be angry at him for interfearing in something that dosen't concern him." Robert said. "By the way what are you soing here anyway." he asked Heero.
"Why would I be angry at anyong who stopped you from hitting one at my friends." Quatre said before Heero could say anything. "And I invited him to my party since you are wondering about that."
"Surly you jest." Robert stated. "Why or how could you know who he is?"
"I know that he is Heero Yuy. And that he piloted the Wing Gundam during the war. And why would I make light of something like who I invite to my party." Quatre asked moving from the circle around the three to stand near Heero.
Robert's jaw was on the floor. How could sweet little Quatre know all that? Robert thought. Quatre seems to know an awful lot about that gundam pilot. And everyone thinks that he is do sheltered.
"Make that twice that you have questioned who I invited to my party, in less than a half hour. One would have thought that you might have learned that to question what I do is not always the best thing for you to do." Quatre said, getting angry once again.
"It's not that I am questioning who you invite as much as I am questioning how much you know about those you invite." Robert said, still a little shocked.
"Why is it that you think I know nothing about Heero or Duo? I have known them for almost three years. Sure, I haven't seen Heero in a ling time but that dosen't mean that I have forgotten who he is or what he had sone." Quatre said, trying to cool his temper.
The crowd that had gathered backed off a little bit. None of them even thought that Quatre could get this mad let alone seen it. Even Robert was getting more uneasy around this Quatre. Heero and Duo however were worried that something might happen to the usually sweet Sandrock pilot.
"Master Quatre," Rashid said from the edge of the crowd, "perhaps it may be better if you all retire to somewhere a little more private to continue this discussion."
After hearing what Rashid said, Quatre looked around. There were several people crowded around in a circle watching what was going on. And I bet, thought Quatre, that they are all wondering 'what happened to that sweet young man who wouldn't hurt a fly'.
"Your right, Rashid. So Robert, Heero, Duo, would you all be so kind as to follow me, we'll continue this discussion in my office. Oh and Rashid would you make sure that things continue to go smoothly, thanks." Quatre said, then turned and walked towards his office.
"Of course Master Quatre." Rashid said, as Robert, Heero, and Duo followed Quatre.
