Save My Broken World chapter 2

"What? Who me? I'm not up to anything," Duo said, evil glint still present, "Right, Heero?"

"Hn."

Usagi was looking down again and Duo's arm was still slung around her shoulders.

Duo whispered to Heero so Usagi couldn't hear, "Heero, pick Usa up from under her arms and I'll grab her legs and we'll throw her in the water."

"Hn. She's only in her towel."

"Which is what makes it all the more fun."

Heero smirked and Duo let go a full fledged grin.

All the while, while Duo and Heero were having their conversation that Usagi was unaware of, she was thinking of a way that she could leave without seeming rude. 'Maybe I'll tell them I need to get work done. Or I need to go eat lunch because I'm starving, which is actually true. Oh! Even better! I'll-'

Usagi's thoughts were cut off as she suddenly felt herself being lifted in the air. The next thing she knew Duo had grabbed her legs and Heero and Duo started carrying her over to the edge
of the water.

"Oh no no no. Guys put me down! Please! I'm all dry and everything!"

"I don't think so."

"Please!! I'm already clean! Ah! Don't throw me in!!"

"Hn."

"You guys! I'm only in my towel! You can't throw me in!!"

"Oh yes we can," Duo said while Heero and Duo began swinging Usagi back and forth,

"And you only being in your towel makes it that much more fun and interesting."

'Oh crap,' Usagi thought as the boys let go of her and she went flying into the water.

Duo and Heero were laughing when Usagi finally untangled herself enough from the towel to surface. The only part above the water was her head. She had the drenched towel wrapped around herself as best she could while being underwater. Usagi started yelling at them, "You guys are so dead!! When I get out of here and all cleaned up, you guys are going to wish you had never laid a hand on me!! You are going to pay dearly!!!" Usagi was so angry and busy yelling at them that she didn't notice the towel was starting to float off her.

"Uh, Usagi. I don't mean to interrupt the part where you chew us out and stuff, but you might want to check your towel," Duo said, trying to stop the laugh he felt building up inside.

Usagi looked down, squeaked, and frantically pulled the towel tightly back around herself.

"You sick perverted jerks!! You guys better leave right now if you still want to have yourselves all together in the morning and not be missing any parts," Usagi said, venom dripping from her voice.

"Uh, you smell that Heero! That's Moms cooking! Lunch must be done! So I'll go now. Bye!!" Duo nervously squeaked, shakily grabbed his towel, and raced out of there with that very bad excuse.

"Good riddance," Usagi muttered to herself. Looking at Heero she said, "Aren't you going to go too?"

"I'm not afraid of you," Heero said with a smirk.

A most annoyed look was on Usagi's face, "Just go!!"

"Okay, okay. Here's my towel. Give it back to me when you come over to spend the night with Mako. Don't catch cold. See-ya." And with that, Heero put his hands in his pockets and strolled out of the clearing.

Usagi mustered up what dignity she had left and waded over to the edge of the spring where Heero left her his towel. She jumped out and wrapped the towel around herself. Not wanting to chance a run in with anybody else if she stayed to change back into her clothes, Usagi ran home through the woods in just her towel. 'I hope I don't run into anybody. Please don't let me run into anybody.'

Once Usagi reached the edge of the woods, she scanned the area for life and seeing as there was none, she raced to the back entrance of the servants quarters. 'Home free! All right! The only people who will ever be aware of this embarrassing incident are Heero, Duo, Makoto when I tell her and myself of course. Those boys better not squeak about what they did to me or they will pay in the worst possible way.'

She walked down the low lit hall to the last door on the left. Her room was relatively new compared to the rest of the castle. It's a part of the expanded servants quarters, built six years ago. Reaching up behind the torch beside her door, she felt for the familiar crevice. Upon finding it she pulled out her key. Unlocking her door, she stepped in, leaving the door open to allow the torch light to stream in.

She used the outside light to see until she found her flint and steel and set fire to the logs in the fireplace. Her room slowly but surely began to warm up. Putting her clothes on her bed, she closed her door and moved over to her dresser and grabbed some underwear and socks. She placed the towel on the bed and started dressing.

'I wonder why Heero let me use his towel. He's never done me any favors before. Of course, he's never played a prank on me before either. Did he let me use his towel because he cares? No, he wouldn't care for his childhood friend that way. Besides, as handsome as he is, I bet it would be pretty awkward if we moved beyond friendship level. Oh! I know why he gave me his towel, so I wouldn't catch a cold like he said! That must be it! Wait Usagi! Hold on a sec! Why would he not want you to catch a cold . . . Because he cares. Well, the only thing I can think to do would be to talk to Makoto. She'll hopefully have some idea as to how I should attack this if he does care for me as more than a friend. I hope she does, because otherwise I might just fall into his trap.'
