Hiya! I know my chapter is late again! But I have been trying. I've already
got chapter 3 half way typed up and I've also got a basic idea of where
this story's going. So just hang in there.
This chapter is dedicated to:
Sailor Star, For reviewing every chapter!
Sailor Grape, Another of my personal favourite authors. I highly recommend you read her fic Maybe She Was God.
Prophetess of Hearts, for always getting me giggling at her reviews.
SerenityLNguyen, also an author I like to read.
And also to every body else who reviewed but I don't have the time to name you all! Thanks!
So anyway, On with the story…
Men with Guns.
Chapter Two: Training Starts.
A thump and a loud yell awoke the other pilots early the following morning. Heero, Wufei, Trowa, and Quatra skidded to a haul just as Usagi walked out of Dou's room… Dragging Dou behind her by the ankle. He still had his pillow held tightly to his head.
"Usagi?" Quatra asked sleepily. "What's going on?"
"You didn't honestly think I'd believe Dou could get up before noon on his own, now did you?" She asked, walking past the stupefied boys.
"Smart girl." Wufei smirked as Usagi descend the stairs, Dou thumping down behind her.
*****
Duo winced as he rubbed his sore shoulder. Being dragged down over 70 stairs may be a good wake up call, but it hurt like hell!
"Are you ready?" Usagi asked him as she stood up from stretching. Duo yawned and nodded his head. "Good. Now, your training will be split into three areas. First we'll work on your endurance and reflexes. Then we'll move on and build up your strength, speed and agility. And lastly for stage three we'll refine your skills and techniques. Alright?"
Again Duo nodded and Usagi grinned evilly.
"Excellent. We'll start today's session with a 3 mile run." She threw a capsule on the ground and a small wooden chest appeared. Usagi drew from it weighted wristbands and weighed ankle-bands and gave them to her student.
Duo nearly fainted.
*****
It was nearly 6 o'clock when Duo dragged himself back to the Winner State Mansion. Usagi danced around him on the balls of her feet, cheering him on. With a groan from Duo the boy collapsed on the ground, breathing heavily from his exertions. Usagi just continued to jog on the spot,
"Oh, come on Duo. It wasn't that bad." She mildly chased the sweating boy. "Besides, you just earned yourself a big breakfast." Duo's eyes lit up with interest.
"Man, am I glad that's over! I don't know how you do this everyday, Usa." Duo commented flippantly as he removed the weighted bands and started, reluctantly, to stretch with the silver haired girl.
Usagi laughed. "Don't worry Duo. It will get easier as you become stronger. Besides," A mischievous glint came into her eyes. "This is only Early Morning Training. Next we'll work on your dodging skills."
Ohhh. Aren't I mean! Don't worry, I'll try not to be too hard on Dou *grins*, but no promises. I'm trying not to focus too much on Dou's training, 'cause I want to move on to other things, so try not to be too harsh. Keep the reviews coming; remember that the more I get the more chapters come out!
