~*~*~ Everything For You ~*~*~
By: Rogue angel Barton
Hey! Sorry but I've been a busy bee lately! Well here the next chapter. And guys, I'm asking for 10 reviews before I go on. It seems as if interest in my fics have been dropping lately or something. Well I don't own Sailor Moon or Gundam Wing. And as Hotaru Yuy so colorfully explained by calling me an onna and stuff, Hotaru doesn't drink milk. Okay I blanked for a minute.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hotaru smiled as Duo gulped down the food. It was about 12 in the afternoon, and Duo was inhaling his lunch. She came back at 9, to find Heero Yuy gone. It was good because she might have actually killed him this time.
"Came down Duo, the food isn't going anywhere!"
Duo smiled sheepishly.
"Well I missed breakfast so I'm making up for it!"
"It's your fault you didn't wake up!"
"You didn't wake me up!"
"I couldn't have woken you if I destroyed this hospital!"
Hotaru laughed while Duo pouted. Suddenly the phone on the nearby desk rang. Hotaru picked up the phone, to hear Quatre's frantic voice.
"Hello?"
"Hotaru! Please give the phone to Duo quick! It's Quatre!"
Hotaru was puzzled, but followed Quatre's instructions. She handed the phone to Duo.
"Who is it?"
"It's Quatre. He says it's an emergency."
Duo nodded, his face grim.
"Hello, Quatre?"
After a few seconds of silence, Duo suddenly became frantic.
"HE WHAT?!?! YOU'RE KIDDING ME RIGHT?! I'M GOING TO KILL HIM!"
"Duo calm down. What's wrong?"
Duo faced the direction of Hotaru's voice. Hotaru saw his bottom lips quivering.
"Heero was in an accident, he was racing with Miss Haruka."
Hotaru, for some reason, felt her heart stop. Her eyes became wide with concern exploding out of them. She shouldn't be worried about that arrogant fool! He was with Haruka? An image of Haruka flying on the track came into Hotaru's mind. Haruka was high-speed racing, so that mean he was going pretty fast.
"Right Quatre. At least he's okay... I guess. Are you sure? Okay, I'll try to calm down. Later then. Bye."
The phone was lying on the bed, while Duo buried his face into his hands. Hotaru snapped out of it, and sat down on the bed. Engulfing Duo into a hug, her heart pained as she felt Duo's body shudder.
"He'll be fine. He's strong Duo."
Hotaru continued to whisper soothing things to Duo. From the way he was reacting, Heero was pretty banged up. She still felt something tugging at her heart at the thought of Heero being hurt. Hotaru squeezed her eyes shut as she rocked Duo back and forth. She couldn't care about Heero Yuy. IT wasn't the way things worked.
Quatre ran a hand through his short blond hair. He was worried sick about Heero. Ami and Trowa were currently taking care of Heero's wounds. Quatre continued to pace the huge hallway of the girls' house. Heero was able to tell Makoto his cell number before he went unconscious. After the Ami called him, he found out about Heero's accident.
Knowing Heero would refuse going to the hospital, he discovered that the girls' house was closer than their house. So he asked them to take Heero to their house.
That's where he was, in front of a spare room in the girls' mansion, pacing around like a crazed lunatic. Wufei, Haruka, and Michiru, knowing some medical practice, was in there helping Trowa and Ami. He, Minako, Makoto, Rei and Usagi were outside, waiting anxiously. He had called Duo a few minutes ago, trying to calmly tell the other pilot.
Quatre stopping pacing, and turned his worried blue eyes to the other girls sitting nearby. In a sudden fit of anger, he swung around and punched the wall with all his might. IN the five years since the Mariameia de coup, he had grown. Now standing at a good 6'3", he towered over even Wufei and Duo. He had filled out more, muscle everywhere you looked. But he still looked trim.
The girls were startled as a bang filled the silence. They turned to Quatre, who was glaring at the wall. His fist was red as he slowly removed it from the dent in the white, formerly spotless wall.
Suddenly the door to the bedroom opened. A tired Ami and Trowa stepped out. Ami saw Quatre; his fist red and the wall dented, and ran over to him. Picking up his hand, she looked at him.
"Are you alright?"
Ami blushed, as did Quatre. HE took hold of her shoulders.
"How's Heero?"
Ami looked at Trowa. Trowa nodded.
"He's really banged up. A broken rib as well as three cracked ribs. His whole stomach and lower chest looks completely black with bruises. He dislocated his right shoulder, and has a concussion. HE has other bruises and gashes along his legs and chest and arms. It'll take at least a month to heal."
The guys all sighed as the girls gasped. Trowa walked to Quatre and placed his hand on Quatre's shoulder. Wufei walked over to the two and place a hand on each of their shoulders.
"Three..."
Quatre bowed his head. The five of them... what was going on? The girls just watched as the three of the guys stood there, getting silent comfort from one another.
^^^
Hotaru growled. She couldn't believe this!
"DUO MAXWELL YOU ARE NOT LEAVING THIS HOSPITAL UNTIL THE DOCTORS SAY THAT YOU CAN!!!"
"Hotaru! I have to make sure Heero's okay!"
"DUO MAXWELL HE'S FINE! YOU HOWEVER ARE NOT LEAVING!!!"
"Hotaru please! I have to make sure how Heero is!"
Hotaru growled. The doctor suddenly walked in, a smile on his face.
"Mr. Maxwell I am happy to say that you can eave anytime you want. Mr. Winner made it clear that you would rather recuperate at home, and I know he is having a private doctor visit you."
Duo smirked at Hotaru before Hotaru glared at him.
"No, he is not leaving."
"YES I AM!"
Before Hotaru could stop her brother, Duo started to get out of bed.
"Maxwell, if you want to leave in a hospital gown, get back into the bed."
"It's okay. Girls don't get to see the feminine side of me, especially my cute butt, enough!"
Hotaru groaned. She couldn't believe her brother. Hotaru sighed.
"Come on Hotaru! PLEASE!"
"How will you get home by yourself?"
"Hitch hick."
Dread filled Hotaru's heart. No, she'd have to go along with him. With a sigh of defeat, she walked to Duo.
"Let's put some clothes on you. And then we'll go."
Duo grinned.
"Thank you."
"Let's go before I change my mind."
Duo smiled as Hotaru growled. Dressing him in a pair of black baggy jeans and a dark blue sweatshirt, Hotaru helped him into a wheelchair.
"Where are they? You're house?"
"I don't know."
Hotaru sweatdropped.
"Great, we'll be wondering around the town."
"Wait, you have a cell right?"
"Yeah."
"Call this number, 645-913-9641."
Hotaru nodded and dialed the number. A sorrowful and tired voice came on the phone.
"Hello?"
"Who's this?"
"Quatre."
"Quatre it's Hotaru."
"Hello Miss Hotaru."
"We're is Heero at?"
"Your house... why?"
Hotaru felt her cheeks burn. Heero Yuy was at her house?! Why did they bring him there?!
"Duo wants to go see him."
"WHAT?! IS HE INSANE?! NO WAY!!!!!!!"
"He's made up his mind, and you know him."
With a sighed Quatre was silent. Hotaru looked over at Duo, who looked anxious.
"We'll be right there."
"Alright Hotaru. Be careful. And tell Duo I'm going to give him a piece of my mind."
Hotaru nodded. She shut off the phone and started to drive.
"Where is he?"
"My house..."
Hotaru felt her cheeks burn again. Duo laughed.
"Strange twist of fate eh?"
"Shut up Duo."
Hotaru parked the car in the garage. She helped Duo out and into the house. She headed to the third floor, knowing the guestrooms were up there. Once she reached the third floor, she saw everyone waiting there. The guys gawked at them.
"DUO MAXWELL?!?!?"
Duo smiled sheepishly while the guys ran up to him. Quatre scowled him with everyone else. Minako pushed through.
"Duo Maxwell what are you doing out of the hospital?!"
Duo smiled sheepishly at her.
"I was worried about Heero."
Minako held his hand and led him towards the room. Hotaru followed. Her heart quickened as her mind went blank. How hurt was he? She found herself only slightly less worried about Heero than she was about Duo.
Minako opened the door and led him into the dark blue room. Hotaru followed close behind. Yes, they picked the right room for him. The carpet was dark blue; the wall was dark blue mixed in with cream and lighter shades of blue. There were two huge, 6 feet wide and 5 feet tall windows around the room.
There he lay, so pale against the dark blue velvet covers and sheets. A thick bandage was wrapped around his head, with cuts and a black eye.
Duo gently sat on the bed. His hand searched for Heero's under the cover. Minako took Heero's hand from under the cover and gave it to Duo. Hotaru's eyes widened. His left arm was completely bandaged. A brace and sling was on his right arm.
"Heero old buddy, what did you do to yourself?"
Silence was Duo's response. Minako hugged him from behind.
"I know you can hear me. You fool! And you called me the baka of the group. How could you take such risks?"
Hotaru felt her heart tighten. Fool, just a fool. Heero Yuy, he looked so fragile, so helpless. Duo completely broke down. His shoulders racked with sobs. Hotaru walked over to him and gently touched his shoulder. He suddenly collapsed.
"DUO!"
Everyone came in once they heard Minako's shout. Minako was frantic. Hotaru merely looked out the window.
"He's fine. I set him to sleep. Get him to a room."
Everyone looked at Hotaru, the boys clearly confused. The girls were taken a back by her monotonous and emotionless voice. Trowa picked up Duo and walked out the room. Makoto ushered everyone out the room. Makoto walked over to Hotaru and squeezed her shoulder. Hotaru looked at Makoto, who smiled at her with encouragement.
"It'll be okay."
Hotaru nodded as she watched Makoto walk out the room. She turned her attention to the figure lying in the bed. She slowly walked over to the bed, and sat down in the chair. Why does she feel worried about Heero Yuy? He hated her, and she hated him. But... why did she have a feeling inside when she saw him like this? Why did her heart skip a beat when she heard he was hurt? Why did it pain her to him lying in bed helpless?
Hotaru shut her eyes, rested her elbows on the bed and her head in her hands. She squeezed her eyes shut. Why was she like this?
Hotaru felt a hand gently rest on her head and soothing her hair. Hotaru slowly looked up, and into a pair of tired and pained Prussian eyes.
"Heero..."
Heero simply nodded. His face tensed as another wave of pain rippled through his body. Hotaru panicked. She stood up as his hand fell to his side.
"Heero what's wrong?"
Heero's jaw clenched as the pain hit him again and again. Hotaru felt herself panic. She made a move to leave to get Ami, but a hand grabbed her thin wrist. Hotaru snapped around to see Heero's hand on her thin wrist.
"Don't..."
"But Heero..."
"Just stay..."
Hotaru hesitantly sat down on the bed, on Heero's left so she doesn't disturb his right dislocated shoulder. She watched as his expression was pained.
"Please let me go get Ami..."
"No... just stay with me..."
Hotaru nodded, her heart still filled with indecision.
"Let me get you some pain killers?"
"Thanks."
Hotaru stood up and ran to the bathroom. Grabbing the aspirin and a glass of water, she hurried back to Heero's side. She took out two pills and gently; with her right hand supported Heero's neck. Giving him the pills, she lifted the glass to his lips and helped him as he drank.
Hotaru gently helped Heero to the pillow. Heero shifted under the covers as Hotaru sat by him still. He gently smiled at her.
"Thank you. I guess I should apologize for this morning, I was... out of hand."
"I accept you apology Mr. Yuy. Now, care to share what happened?"
Hotaru's voice softened at the last part. She watched as Heero shifted again under the dark blue velvet covers. HE looked uncomfortably at Hotaru.
"I was racing with Haruka and went... faster than... what was safe."
Hotaru nodded. Did he have a death wish? Even thought Haruka loved to race, she never went against what was safe. She was kind of puzzled but ignored it.
"Why don't you go to sleep?"
"I can't..."
Hotaru nodded. The pain was keeping him awake. Hotaru's eyes widened as an idea came to her.
"How bout I sing?"
"Are you sure the windows can survive that?"
"Heero Yuy!"
Heero chuckled as Hotaru's face turned red. HE was doing it again. Hotaru's eyes went blank as she felt her power rising within her.
Suddenly Hotaru felt soft fingertips on her cheek. For some reason, the power left her, leaving her with a sense of complete serene and calm inwardly. Her eyes returned to the calm and polite violet that they usually were.
She realized that Heero's fingertips were the cause of this sudden change. She looked into his Prussian eyes. This guy was a complete mystery. One side of him ticked her off to no end and brought out the destructive and powerful side of her, while the other, with a gentle touch could sooth her and control her.
"Why do you do this?"
"It's my nature..."
Heero's eyes were pleading with her to understand. Hotaru simply nodded. Maybe she could stand him for a while longer.
"I believe you were going to sing?"
Hotaru nodded. She thought about a song... which one? Argh... come on Hotaru... think. Um... nothing romantic... but it can't be too childish. And it had to be soft and soothing. The song her mother used to sing to her came into her mind. Hotaru smiled as she ran her hand through Heero's thick and wild hair.
"Oto no nai mahiru kaze ha tada akarui sukoshi nemutasou ni hanabira ga yureta." Heero felt his eyelids droop. Her voice was sweet, soft, tender, and full of emotion. She was singing in Japanese too, which surprised him. But he understood every word. She was gently soothing his pain, something that no one could do. "Nani ge nai kono omoi nee, hito ha donna kotoba de yondeiru no" Heero felt a small smile grace his lips. The song was very beautiful, and Hotaru's soulful voice made it even better. 'What if this feeling isn't real? Is it true, that people are only words?' Appropriate. Heero's left hand found Hotaru's smaller ones, and engulfed it in his own. "Shiroi suna no tsuki toji kometa hanashi o hikari furasu you ni kikasete ne sotto." She was pouring her soul and life into this song. She must believe in it deeply. 'The white sand of the moon speaks to a woman, It rains a gentle light and sings softly...' Heero smiled wider, she was amazing. Meanwhile, he felt his boy relaxing, and the pain slowly disappearing... all because of her voice. "Itsuka shiru toki ga kuru no? mune no itami o soshite ima yori yasashiku naru no ne." Heero felt his eyelids slowly closing, with thoughts of this little girl in his mind. Her dark hair, fair and pale skin, beautiful and angelic voice, and her strength and power. Heero allowed his eyes to peak open slightly, just one more look at the gentle girl. "Atatakai kono omoi nee, hito ha donna namae de yondeiru no." The question hung in the air even after she finished that line. 'Is it true that people are just their names?' Perhaps, but Heero Yuy did know one thing, the name Firefly was a beautiful and true name for the innocent girl in front of him. And as for feelings... he did know that he respected her... because she acted on hers... "Shiroi suna no tsuki mabushikute mienai tooi mirai no koto kikasete ne sotto." At least Heero drifted to sleep. Hotaru finished the last line of the song, and then looked down at him. His face was peaceful, and not tense or serious like when he was awake. Although no one would say it, Heero Yuy looked like a small and innocent child in his sleep. Hotaru looked down at Heero's hand, which was tightly wrapped around her own. A faint blush colored her pale cheeks as with the other hand, she gently stroked his left hand. Her violet eyes peered at him once again, blown away by his beauty. She looked away; he was a strange one. One minute he was hopping mad and rude, the next he was gentle like a newborn lamb. But as he said, it was his nature. Perhaps she could understand... given time. Hotaru bent down and kissed his bandaged forehead before standing up. Walking to the door, she turned around to look once more at the sleeping enigma. She smiled as the last line of the song was engraved on her mind... it seemed to fit. "Tooi mirai no koto kikasete ne sotto..." Hotaru walked out the room and left behind the room that stirred her so. A future... "A distant future sings softly..." ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ *Rogue is tied to a pier, with her daughter Jade holding a torch* Rogue: Oh readers!!!
