Five Times Five
Another school chapter. I'm doing this even when I'm supposed to be at lunch. The things I do for you people. ^_^
Five Times Five: Sweet Misery
*Where could she be?* Rei scouted around HQ but with no luck in finding Usagi. Apparently the Gundam pilots were smart enough to lock the elevator that led to the exit hall. *Very smart Minako.* She kept looking, but Usagi was no where to be found. *If she's not training, with Une, or in her room, where could she be?* Ami was looking for her also. Trieze requested to see Usagi earlier with Lady Une to discuss the break out. But her nor Makoto were any where to be found. *This is bad. Better check the cameras.* Rei took down the cameras from the exit hall and replayed them. All she saw was Heero carrying Usagi who had her eyes closed, and the rest of the pilots running down the hall, with Minako.
Rei saw red. *They captured Usagi! What now, Minako? Going to kill her like Apollo? I don't think so!* She ran down the hall toward Treize's meeting room.
***
Ami was walking down the west wing of the base. Checking in all the rooms, she gave up of finding Usagi or Makoto. She sighed and checked in Makoto's room. There was a little lime green note lying on her bed. She picked it up and saw Makoto's handwriting.
Ami, Rei,
The pilots have Usagi and Minako
I let them go free
They won't hurt Usagi
I know that
Don't tell anyone, please
I went after them
They'll be fine
~Makoto
Ami crumpled the paper in her fists. *She let them take Usagi. She betrayed OZ! Lord help her when I see har again!*

Usagi woke up to a warm damp cloth padding her head. She opened her eyes to see a familier pair of Purrusian eyes. They were emotionless, but Usagi saw deep inside him and knew he was concered. She blinked, and Heero took the cloth away. She looked around the room. Wufei was muttering injustices under his breath and cleaning up the wound that was still on his leg, but the blood was all dried up. Trowa was leaning on the wall, Quatre was looking at the ground, and Duo was sitting in a chair, next to him sat Dr. J., and next to him was...Minako. Usagi's eyes turned magenta. Minako shifted her position nervously. Then, without warning, she pounced. She knocked Minako to the floor. There was a struggle, Quatre and Duo tried to break it up, Heero just watched with amusement as Usagi beat the crap out of Minako, Trowa seemed not to notice, and Wufei was smirking. Usagi threw Duo out of the way, who flew into Quatre, and they both fell down. Usagi had Minako in a head lock, her face was turning blue. Heero calmly walked over adn took her arm off Minako's neck and pulled her back, dispite her protests. That did it. Usagi flipped him over her head and darted to the window and jumped. Everyone ran to the window, to see her running out of the gates. (They were in one of Quatre's mansons.) They started to go after her, but Dr.J stopped them. "She'll come back. She had no where else to go and no way of contact. Believe me, she'll come back." The others watched her run. Heero knew where she was going.
***
Usagi was on a cliff that overlooked the ocean, about a few miles away between Relena's and Quatre's mansons. She always came here when she wanted to be alone when she still worked for Relena. She thought a while, almost an hour. She felt a hand on her shoulder. Heero's. She turned away from him, and kept looking into the sunset. She felt him sit down next to her. She was on a rock on the end of the cliff, her feet hanging over the side. She had taken her boots off. "Why did you bring me here?" She finally asked. There was silence. "Because you were hurt, and I wanted to." He said toneless. "Have you lost all you reslove? I've been close enough for you to kill, and yet you haven't even drawn a gun. I'm your enemy, am I not?" "Not unless you want to be. We know a lot more about OZ did when you were young, and your parents were still alive. The colonies never attacked anyone but OZ. OZ attacked everyone else." "Maybe you shouldn't have bombed them then." "And let them win? Let them rile us?" "There is nothing worse than war." "Defeat is worse. They control you, they'll kill you for no reason at all. They'll make you do things you don't want to do. Does that sound good to you?" Heero snapped. Usagi stayed silent. "....no. It doesn't." Heero turned to look at the view, depending on it to calm him down. "If you hate OZ so much, why are you protecting me?" She asked. Heero narrowed his eyes. "Because, I wanted to. I don't need a reason." "You think I'm weak don't you?" She said. Heero turned to face her. Her face was stern. Heero could tell she was not used to losing arguments. But then again, neither was he. "No, and I don't think the others do either." "So you think I'm strong?" "Will you stop asking questions!" Heero was getting frustrated, he accidently pounded his fist on her wounded hand, when Duo was trying to grab her wrist away from Minako. She winced in pain, and pulled it to her other hand. Heero looked at her, while she nursed the back of her hand. She didn't seem to notice. He studied her. She had muscles in her arms and legs well toned. She was thin, perfect form of a soldier. He sensed her strength. *Beautiful, but stubborn.* He thought.
He took her wounded hand, and started to rub it with his thumb. Usagi let him, it made her hand feel better. It made it warm, and she could not feel any pain anymore. "Your no amiture." She whispered. Heero smirked. "Glad you think that way." He whispered back. He looked at her, seh looked at him. Their gazes locked. Unconsiously they leaned forward, both thinking the same thing. *Where have I seen this before?* (Refer back to "Crash" for the explaination.) Their lips touched, sparks flew, and the sun was gone from view, making the sky dark blue. They pulled away a while after. (Hey, first kisses never last long, right?) They looked at each others eyes, and kissed again. (wrong! ^_^) Heero put his left palm on her cheek, a few fingers twining in her hair, and started to apply pressure to her lips. Usagi complyed, reaching her hand to his shoulder, both of them using the other hand to support them. Usagi took her index finger to play with his soft brown locks. Heero reached to put his tounge into her mouth. She parted her lips to let him slip through. He subdued her tounge, luwering it into his own mouth. She explored his until they ran out of breath. Heero let go, and caressed her cheek, hers and his eyes stayed solid, of course they never showed emotion, but they saw it, even though others couldn't. Heero spoke, his voice in his same monotone. "You know I feel terrible that I let go, but I liked it. Sweet misery." He said. She spoke. "I feel the same." "Do you believe me now?" He asked. "No, but I'll consider it." She said, smirking. He smirked to. "It's late, we should get back." She said, noting the sun's disappearance. He nodded and they walked back, hand and hand.

Minako sat on the balcony, nursing her red neck where Usagi had attempted to throtle her. She sighed and knew perfectly well why she did it. She heard the door open, and someone took her hand. Duo. She smiled at him, he smiled back, and they both sat down on the chairs there. Duo put an arm on her shoulder and felt her neck. It was hot with Usagi's body heat still swelling her skin. Duo took the ice be brought out and slid it along her skin. She liked the feeling. She sat back and enjoyed the sensation. "Your alright, I won't let her hurt you again." Duo cooed into her ear. Minako frowned. "I deserved it. Even torture for the rest of my existance wouldn't match the pain I gave her. I wouldn't have done any of it if I could go back." Duo wiped the tear that dropped down from her eye. "Thank you, for standing up for me at HQ. Usagi could have killed you, you know." "I wanted to. I defend the innocent." "They why were you defending me? I'm not innocent. The only thing I'm innocent of is not respecting Usagi and the pain she already had to deal with before me. I killed her panther Apollo. I deserve to suffer her pain." "You didn't know what you were doing." "Yes, I knew I was hurting her, back then I wanted to. But then I didn't see what she felt when I never left her alone." "It's over now. She can't stay mad at you forever." "You don't know Usagi, she can stay mad at me for years. She's been mad at me for 2." "Yeah, Heero's been mad at me for...to long for me to count." Minako giggled. Duo commended himself for cheering her up. "I just wanted to be her friend. I guess I went overboard hugh?"
Duo smiled. "Maybe her idea of a friend was someone she oculd take to. Did you ever see her and Rei talking?" Minako looked at him. "Yes, but they usually didn't talk around others, they were in her room, or in Rei's room. I did hear from Ami and Makoto that they exsperenced some of the same fates and they were both hurt badly when they came here to OZ. She said they liked to talk about their problems with each other." Duo pulled her closer. "Seem she sees Rei as someone who understands her. That is an important trait in a strong friendship." Minako smirked. "I guess you would know all about that right?" "Yep, though I don't always do a good job. Seen me and Heero lately? All we do is fight. Although he is the one who usually does the fighting." He strocked her hair and took out the bow. He started to play with it. He put it into a french braid. "You should keep it like this, It looks good." Minako laughed. "I look like you." "Yep, we'll really irritate Wufei now." They laughed. Duo put his arms around her waist and Minako leaned her head onto Duo's shoulder. They fell alseep like this.
