*"Ummmmm," Usagi said, as she moved her hand to her stomach. "I'm so hungry!"
Heero looked at her with confusion clearly written on his face. Was this some kind of joke? That's what she wanted to talk to him about? "What?" He questioned.
"Oh, I'm sorry Heero, did you say something?" She looked up into his eyes.
'Phew,' Heero thought. 'All she did was not hear me. She moved her hand to her stomach because she was hungry, not because she was implying she was pregnant. What a relief.' "I asked what you wanted to talk with me about. So, what was it?"
"Well, you know Karmain right? The one who's-" She was cut off.
"The one who's leader of the Assembly. Yeah I know him. Much as I hate to admit it. But with having parents so high up in the authority, we've had to meet pretty much everyone who floats into some sort of higher position. So, yeah. I know him."
"What I need to explain to you is about him. It all started when I went to the Assembly for judging, and as you know Karmain is the Head of it. I could tell when I met him the he liked to govern people and control them. He laid that impression out perfectly flat for me too see, but I doubt he knows I know by the way he acted before he left. He was trying to make me scared, and it worked. But anyway, the important thing is that I knew he loved power and controlling human beings.
"Later, when I was in the mountains, I found him knocked out, likely from trying to scale down the rocks beside the waterfall and falling. And you know what I found as I searched through his pack? Treasonous documents. And I found out that he is now a spy for the king of Scanra. And what's worse, the king appointed him to a position above all the other spies. Another piece of evidence proving he likes power and control, because otherwise he would have become a lesser spy so as to better cover up his tracks of treason. But he didn't. Proof.
"Last night, I woke up to voices. It was sometime in the early morning or late night hours, because the moon was high enough to light up most of the clearing beneath me. I was too tired to make out the words, but I was able to look down upon them and saw Karmain talking to someone else who was consumed by shadows, making his identity impossible to decipher. Before parting, Karmain handed something over to the other person, but what they didn't notice that I did, was that when he pulled the item out, his ID fell out of his pocket and was left on the ground for my retrieval. I'm sure you know why the ID is so important to everything else I've been saying?"
"He has a fake ID for Scanra," he assumed.
"Close, but turn the tables and you'll have it," she advised.
Recognition hit him in the head as his eyes lit up. "You found his true ID, which is for Scanra, and his name and info here is the counterfeit stuff. Karmain is the fake. So that makes his true name and identity..." He let the sentence trail off so she could finish it and supply him with the answer.
"Mamoru Darkheart. Fitting family name, huh?" she smirked.
"Very," he spat out.
"Now that you know, I need to know what you think I should do," her eyes pleading for an answer.
"There's only one thing we can do, and have to do legally. We must turn him in. Tomorrow would be good. The sooner the better. Tomorrow morning, come over to my place, I'll do something to make my parents leave. Something will have to be done about your appearance, otherwise someone is sure to recognize you and that would lead to trouble we can't exactly handle at the moment. So come over, and tonight I'll come up with a plan, including what we're going to do in court. Sound good?" He smiled at her. Leave it to Heero to make it right and know what to do when everything is muddled.
"Thanks, Heero." Moving three steps forward, she wrapped her arms around Heero and kissed him on the cheek. She left her arms around him. "You know, when I first met you, I had no idea you would play such a prominent role in my life. Any other surprises you'd like to enlighten me about?"
"Nothing at the moment," he smirked. Letting go of her he said, "Good night, Usa. Tomorrow around 7 good?"
"Fine with me. If I'm not there by then, I likely slept late. Just send Duo to get me or something, okay?"
"Alright. Good night." Hands were shoved into pockets as Heero did a 180 and headed home. He heard the voice of Usagi shout "Good night!" after him.
~~~~~~~~~
Knock. Knock. Knock.
"I got it!" a voice shouted to someone else in the house. Then the voice was directed toward her. "Coming!!"
"Usagi?" Duo asked puzzled, as he cocked his head to the side. "What are you doing here?"
"Heero didn't tell you?"
Duo shook his head. "Negative."
"Guess you shouldn't know then." Changing the subject, she asked, "Where's Heero?" She stepped through the door and into the house.
"In his room, I think, Miss-I'm-not-gonna-tell-you-what-Heero-and-I-are-up-to." Sticking out his tongue he turned and walked out.
'Oh well,' she thought, 'not my problem.' Heading to Heero's room, she knocked. "Hey! It's me Usagi! Can I come in?"
"Yeah."
"Morning! So, what we gonna do?" Usagi inquired as she sat on Heero's bed.
"This," he answered and pulled a red wig out from his drawer.
Lifting an eyebrow, she said, "Please tell me that's not yours."
He glared. "Of course it's not mine. It's Makoto's, but for today, it will be yours. She won't mind."
"So, you think that by wearing a wig they won't be able to recognize me. I think we ought to do more than that. I know they aren't that dense."
"Voice is the best way to identify who a person is."
"What are you getting at?"
"You're playing mute today. We'll tell them you're a mute, and that you communicate with sign language and that I'll just translate for you."
"You know what? I think that'll work! It's brilliant! Good Heero!" she said and patted him on the head as if he were a dog.
"You know I don't like that."
"Then how do you think I should complement you?"
"A kiss is always nice," he smirked and prepared himself for a kiss.
"Not so fast mister. Kisses will be given if your plan succeeds."
"Fine," he said. Crossing his arms and sticking his lower lip out and putting on a fake pout expression.
"Oh stop that. By the way, what exactly is your plan?" She glanced at him from the corner of her eye.
"Well, as was said, we'll turn him in. We need to present the documents to the king and prove that he's guilty. This is what needs to be done and what we're going to do..."
Finishing, he asked, "That okay with you?"
"Perfect. This is so going to work!!" She said excitedly as she clapped her hands together and jumped up and down. Placing the wig atop her head and grabbing a marker and quickly adding a couple of dots to her face, "Moles," she explained, they walked out of the room and house, hand in hand, on there way to the castle where they would present their case.
