Chapter2
~~ ** ~~ ** ~~ ** ~~ ** ~~ **~~
Time at the Plant.
"Hehehe..HAHA!..." Sally looked up at her partners red face again only to laugh more. Her sides hurt, and she couldn't get any air, but it was just too funny.
` OK Sally you have to stop now. Wufei had the look of death in his eyes. Think of something else..` Sally tried to think of something else but the only thing that came to mind was Wufei running past Sally on there was back out of the building, screaming bloody murder. She didn't know that Wufei had a fear of bats until he looked back into the building as she was dragging him out, and one hit him square in the face. His frantic screams were priceless! She herself didn't mind bats but she also didn't want to be in the way when they flew, so she ran. But Wufei keep running after they got out. Well for about a hundred yards anyway, before he tripped and fell. By the time she got to him, he had recovered from the bat attack and was wiping the mud off of his face.
"Hehe..."
"...."
"Ha HA HA...!!!" Sally burst out laughing again.
Wufei shook his head. He too thought it was pretty funny, but he would never be caught laughing at himself. His pride and honor wouldn't allow it. And he most surely would not be caught laughing with a weak women. He wanted to ask her to stop laughing but when she looked up at him with her blue eyes shimmering with laughter he froze. Just at that moment, for that little meaningless moment he didn't care that she was laughing at him. He enjoyed seeing her smile and laugh. Now that Wufei thought of it he hadn't seen her smile in quite some time. ` It must have been the mission she was worried about. But its really nice to see her smile.` Even if it was at him, for something he did stupid. It stung his Gundam pride to be laughed at, but her voice was like a melody to his hears. He had never heard her laugh like that before. Only a short laugh here, and there but never whole hearted side splitting laughter. He let a smile play on his lips for a moment before she looked up again. She looked cute..
"Ahh...Hehe.... Sorry Wufei I didn't mean..." Sally started before she was cut off by a hand. Wufei offered his hand to help her up. Slowly she took it, "I didn't mean to laugh at you like that Wufei." In one movement Wufei pulled her to her feet, and came face to face with her. Their breath mixing between them in the warm air.
"Just don't mention it alright."
Sally didn't know what to do. What was Wufei thinking? What was that in his eyes just now? His sent filled her nose, and his breath brushed her cheek. Sally tried to step back but the grip he had on her hand hadn't lessened. If anything it got stronger. She was lost in a sea of darkness in his eyes. Surrounded by the black of his eyes as she thawed like ice before them. But she wasn't afraid of it, it was safe.. She couldn't remember where she was, nor did she even care.
"Ok.." She answered after what seemed like a long moment with nothing more then a whisper. Why hadn't she had air? When did she forget breathe? Was he moving.. Toward her? He didn't say anything just nodded. Never breaking eye contact.
He realized her hand and turned away. `What am I doing!? No, no, NO!!!` I will not allow myself to got closer to her! No! Never! I don't want to lose her too. Its bad enough she's my partner.` He took the communicator out of his bag and started dialing.
Sally stared at his back for a minute. What was that about? She looked down at her hand still tingling from his grip. That was weird. God I wish he would hold my hand again. His hands are so much bigger them mine. He's grown a lot in the past few years, he's a real man now. And a really good looking one at that... What am I thinking?? It couldn't happen, I wont' let it. If he got too close to me right now he might..... Her thoughts were interrupted by the sound of Wufei's voice talking to someone on the phone.
"Ice here. This place is clear we request a pick up........... when?.. WHAT!!!... Argh! INJUSTICE!" he hung up. Glaring at it. "Incompetent people! Of all the stupid! We have to go back to town on foot, because they said to was too dangerous to send a chopper right before the storm hits. We're going to have to go all the way back on foot!!!"
Lady Une hung up the phone on the other end. The rain ran down the window outside as a small flash lit the sky. Trees stirred as the winds began to picked up.
"I'm sorry Sally. I couldn't send you on a real mission. I hope you can forgive me.." another flash lit the sky. "Please make it back safe. I know he will protect you."

5hours later.
"Ouch! God dam it!" Wufei looked back at Sally who was trying to pull her hair free from a branch.
"I could cut that if you want me too." he offered.
"Thanks Wufei but I like my hair on my head."
"Not your hair, the branch."
"Oh.. Uh. Ya thank you Wufei." He approached taking out his sword. Sally's eyes widened as she realized what he was about to do. "Uh. Wufei don't do that!"
The steal blade whizzed as it past her ear. She froze not daring to move. Nothing.. Not a sound after that. Sally opened her eyes, he was already walking away. Her hand instantly went to her hair.. It was still there, and the branch was gone.
"Come on." he yelled back at her.
Sally quickly caught up with him. They walked in silence for what seemed like hours till they came to the bridge. A rope bridge that extended across the river. They started to cross. It was the same bridge that they had crossed on their way to the plant a few hours before. The river was now raging wildly under their feet, much stronger then earlier that day. Waves crashed against the jagged rocks bellow sending up cold spray into the air. Blending with the rays of the sun it caused small rainbows to dance on the water surface. The rope stretched and strained under their weight.
"Wufei I don't trust this bridge very much."
"Sally I ..." the rope snapped and they were plunged into the cold water.
