suspense! :P So enjoy! It's time for Duo to rejoin da guys!
DISCLAIMER: DuH!
~~~~~Duo P.O.V~~~~~
After that encounter with Zech's Sarah ignored me the rest of the day. She ate what I cooked, thanked me but then went and shut herself in her room.
I was feeling like my old self again, but her actions somehow bothered me.. I wonder if I caused it.
What I said was true.. I do love her.. it's odd because I haven't loved that much in my life….but she's special….
Night came and led to dawn… I heard her on the phone and caught bits and pieces of her conversation….
"Yes……twelve o'clock….he's gone…..no…..I do….I know……why?……but they….your WHAT?!?!…but that's……..but it's to soon!…..they are?……oh…….Fine….." and she slammed the phone down, wandering into the room.
Beginning to rip things off the wall and stuff them in a huge duffle bag, she gave me a sorrowful glance…I didn't like it..
"Tonight huh?"
She gave a nod and grumbled….
"Why so glum? You'll get to be with your father.. Cheer up!" I stood and grinned.
Before I knew it, she had her arms around me and grasped me tight, her face rubbing into my black shirt, "I won't see you again. And we'll be enemies…."
"I blinked before wrapping my arms around her and returning the hug gently, "Well….." I was at a loss for words.
"And I can't run away from it…Because your friends would probably kill me….I couldn't leave my father.. I love him to much…And he's all I have left….."
I nodded in understanding….
She pulled away and began to pack everything again.
"I'll make some breakfast." I grinned and walked to the kitchen, calling behind me, "Try to cheer up!"
It took me only a few moments to make my favorite breakfast.. Egg sandwiches….. Cooking some flat eggs, placing them between two pieces of bread and slathering them in ketchup.
She came in and sat down at the table as I laid it out. With her first bite, she looked puzzled for a moment…..till a grin lit up on her face. She swallowed and smirked, "Great!" before basically inhaling it and jumping back to work.
I finished mine much slower and afterwards went into the living room and flipped on the TV for news reports.
Sarah vanished around in the house, packing only the small things she wanted…The big stuff would have to be left.
I would have offered to help… But I had no idea what she would have wanted.. And I would have slowed her down…
And besides… I was troubled….. But I distracted myself by watching with mild interest….The OZ reports on TV.
By the time Sarah came into the living room dragging five suitcases full of junk and then dragged a big box, it was nearly ten o'clock.
She took one look at the time and collapsed onto the couch, breathing hard with a weary look on her face.
She suddenly burst into tears.
I was taken aback for a moment because it surprised me…. But I quickly overcame it and wrapped my arms about her, rocking her gently.
"Shhhh. Don't worry. I'll find time to visit you every once in awhile. Please stop crying. Crying makes me sad too." I adopted a puppy face and placed a pout upon my lips.
She looked up at me and sniffed, her trembling lips breaking out into a grin, "Ok." She whispered.
We sat there, my arms around her and just stared at TV without saying much.. We could express everything with emotions.. After going so long being like Heero, I felt how good emotions were once more.
It was 11:20 when the door burst open with a bang, splinters scattering. We both glanced up in shock.
My eyes widened as I saw who it was…
Heero stood atop the fallen door, gun in hand, yet his face a mask of curiosity and fear…
What the…
A curse was heard outside, "Dammit Yuy!"
Wufei.
A knock sounded on the wall and a blond head peeked in, "Hello?"
Quatre.
I sat and stared.
Sarah was the first to move. She smiled warmly, "I dearly hope your intending to pay for that. The landowner will be very mad if he sees that." She flashed a bright smile, seeming have regained herself.
I couldn't move.
All three of the pilots stood, just staring as I was… Either at me or Sarah. She continued.
"I see you've finally found Duo. I'm curious to where pilot 03 is?" hero lifted his gun, pointing it towards her head, "How do you know us?" he eyed Duo.
Sarah plastered a silly grin on her face, "I have my resources. And no it's not Duo. He's told me nothing. Please tell me what your business is here and if your going to shoot that. Because if you are, then get it over quickly… My father is going to be here soon."
Quatre stepped forward, "I'm sorry to intrude ma'm." I thought I heard Wufei mumbled something about stupid onna.
I still couldn't move.
Hate.. Anger and sorrow came flooding back. I still sat stonily, not knowing what to do.
I watched as Sarah turned to Quatre, "Hello Pilot 04, Quatre Winner. Pilot of Sandrock correct? And pilot 05, Chang Wufei. Please refrain from using comments such as those. In doing so your at risk of me breaking your neck." She smiled sweetly.
I burst out laughing. The three shifted to stare at me.
"Sarah. Stop messing with them. You wouldn't hurt a fly would you?" I bubbled out, still laughing… I didn't know what else to do.
She smirked, her grin widening as she laughed as well, "From dealing with you, I'm not joking. Mr. Yuy over there seems just like you. Only he looks more likely to pull the trigger huh?" She winked one of her brilliant golden orbs.
My laughter died and I stood, angered feelings fading, replaced with annoyance as I looked at the clock.. 11:40.
I held my arms wide, "Hiyas Heero!" I would have said more… but the look on his face right then caused my jaw to drop straight to the ground… literally.
Heero's eyes sparkled in happiness, his mouth turned upwards in an awkward smile and he lunged towards me, flopping her arms around my body in a hug that felt odd and unsure on his part.
Everyone including me was shocked out of our minds.
Heero withdrew, trying to maintain his impassive exterior, but the twinkle in his eye was still there. I smiled, "Awwww! I didn't know you cared! Look! The perfect soldier had feelings!"
If possible, he looked embarrassed.
"Where have you been Duo?" Wufei asked. I blinked at the use of my first name, "Yo Wu-man.. What with the first name?" Surprisingly he didn't get angry with the nick-name.
Had me leaving caused them to change entirely?
Quatre stepped forward and smiled gently, wrapping his arms around me in a hug, "I'm so glad to see your ok. We've missed you."
I hugged him back, grinning, "I've been here the whole time with Sarah over there."
I saw Heero slide his gun back into his spandex shorts.
Sarah looked at the clock, "SHIT!" I heard her yell.
She glanced to the three new pilots frantically, "Get! Get!"
I knew what was going on, "Yes.. lets go…"
"What for?" Quatre asked, puzzled. Wufei shoved away Sarah's attempts to push him out the broken down door.
"Why is she making us leave? We just got here." I heard Heero ask, his question pointed towards me.
"You don't want to know the answer."
"I'm sure they do." I heard a voice boom from the broken down door.
Oh shit.
All gazes turned slowly to view Zech's….Or Milliardo without his mask, standing there, flanked by two men.
I gulped.
Heero ducked his hand into his shorts, grabbing his gun and extracting it. He lashed it's point towards Zech's.
Prying Quatre off of me, I watched as Sarah rushed forward, planting herself in front of her father. She looked to Heero despairingly before turning to Zech's, "Let them leave. Please.. They only wanted Duo. Besides… other than pilot 01, they are unarmed."
Zech's ignored her pleas, "I thought you said he was gone." The glare he shot me could have killed.. If I was weaker….. Heh….
Quatre and Wufei remained silent, Heero impassively pointing the gun towards Zech's.
I saw the two soldiers shift their gun points in our direction.. And then I heard Sarah begin to yell.
"FATHER! STOP THIS NOW!" She placed herself in front of us four.. As much as she could.
Heero, Wufei and Quatre snapped their attention towards her and I mumbled, "Ummmm Sarah….Bad move… letting these three know he's your father."
Sarah continued to yell, "I DO not CARE if you HATE them or NOT. YOU may be against them… And that means I am as well… But that's does NOT give us a right to kill them when they have NO defense!"
Zech's shifted his gaze towards her and by my surprise, addressed her by rank, "Lieutenant. You are in potential danger from OZ and from these gundam pilots. And yet you defend the ones whom are out to kill you. Will you join OZ next? As your commander, I order you to move." His voice was icy cold, steely and frightening.
Sarah glared at him, "No. You hurt one of them and I will use Sacrimyst to destroy whatever you have built so far and ruin your chance for ever killing them or OZ."
She's forgetting! Three pilots who will kill her are in the SAME room!
I stepped forward, "Sarah…" Noticing Heero had his gun in her direction now. She ignored me. Instead, continued her argument with Zech's, "My bags are over there. Pack them. Hurt any of these in the process and I'll gladly present myself to OZ. Once they get the information they need from me, they would either dispose of me or make use of me. I'd prefer that to living with an asshole such as yourself."
All four of us pilots stared, dumbfounded.
Zech's blinked a moment before his face contorted and he sighed softly, "You make such threats again and I'll revoke your Gundam."
Zech's made a mistake.
I could tell by his shocked expression and Sarah's that he rarely ever made mistakes… And none so careless as these.
I heard a click and saw Heero's gun pointed, his finger slowly tightening upon the trigger. He was aiming for Sarah's back.
I stepped in front of him.
Quatre and Wufei stood, to shocked for words, edging farther way from the crowd.
Sarah smirked, ignoring what was happening about her and speaking to Zech's only, "You cannot revoke Sacrimyst. Only I can pilot him. You'd have to remake an entire system and even then rebuild him. He's built for stamina and energy.. Which you do not posses. And…."
She paused, her face shifting into a pained expression.
I shifted my gaze directly into Heero's eyes, "You shoot her, You'll have to shoot me."
He blinked, eyes widening, "Your protecting a former OZ official.. Daughter to Zech's who's currently in progress with creating another corporation.. She pilots a gundam…AND knows everything about us?"
I was shocked at his ability to speak so much with one breath.
I only nodded, hearing Zech's behind me.
"And?"
Sarah replied, "And. He needs someone whom can resist him. Someone who can control him. Otherwise he'll take control."
I heard the guns of the guards sheath and the clank and out of the corner of my eye, I saw them grabbing her suitcase's. I guess Zech's had relented.
I heard him again, yet kept my gaze riveted on Heero.
"When we get to base, your to go immediately to the control room and work on filing as a punishment. Your no longer in OZ…. And therefore demoted. The only privilege you get is Sacrimyst. And even it might be taken away."
I heard Sarah groan, "bbbbbuuuuuuuttttt!"
Heero lowered his gun. I walked forward and whispered to him, "Glad to see you. But don't kill her. She can do no harm."
I sure hope so too. If she is able of doing a great deal of damage, then they will kill her…
Grrr…
Quatre and Wufei stepped forward with Wufei butting in first, "Duo! What in the hell are you doing? Have you been here the entire time? And your defending her? Why?"
I snorted, "Because she CARES." I turned away from them then, but not fast enough to not noticed the pained expression on Quatre's face.
I walked to Sarah and stood next to her, facing Zech's. His face had gone impassive once more and with a look at me and a "come." To Sarah, he turned and headed for the van.
"Gotta love him." She smirked and turned towards me.
"Yeah…" I was at a loss for words.. She was really leaving.
And now I was the one to lug my arms about her and hold her tight, nestling my chin on her head. Then leaning back, I shifted forward and leaned downwards, kissing her gently on the lips.
I felt her eyes widen in surprise before she returned it. I withdrew shortly, and shuffled back, "Bye.." Adverting my gaze.
"Bye." She whispered and slowly turned, walking down the stairs slowly. I watched her go, her head hanging downwards, her shoulders sagging.. that's what goodbye does to you..
I know my posture was nearly the same.
Tears forming in my eyes, I turned away as the van drove off…
Only to meet the gaze of three shocked and confused pilots all awaiting an answer..
