Hide Me: Chapter 2
Well here's the second chapter of Hide Me. Thank you for the lovely reviews. Again I ask all you readers to read and review. By the way, due to loads of homework, I will only update once a week. But please still read this!
Disclaimer: I do not own the characters that are used in this fic.
...and with that Quatre R. Winner hung up. His thoughts were in turmoil. "Allah! Who would have thought he would stoop so low!" Quatre exclaimed as his eyes began to glow a dull red. "He has gone too far this time..."
It was a well known fact to all that knew the group, that a certain someone named Usagi, was a much beloved figure to all of the pilots.
Looking over at his desk, Quatre couldn't help but notice the picture. He and Usagi had been able to convince the other pilots to pose for a single picture. The result left Heero sitting in one of the low branches of the tree they had been under, while Wufei and Trowa were slightly to either side on him. Duo was standing between Usagi and himself in front of the others. Focusing on one of the people in the picture his eyes stopped glowing. "Usagi..." Quatre whispered, his heart aching. "Don't worry we'll make everything right again. I'll make everything right again. I will do any and every thing possible to make you happy again. This I swear to you."
A cloud of steam heralded the opening of the bathroom door. Heero walked out with a towel around his waist. He went to the armoire and picked out his usual outfit, knowing that his fellow pilot Quatre would be disappointed. When Dr. J had given Heero the mission of staying with Quatre until he was contacted again, the blond pilot had taken it upon himself to outfit Heero with an all new wardrobe. Looking at the clothes, he had to admit that not all of them were bad. Most of the black and navy were actually quite fine in his opinion. But he still had to alter them. They weren't quite right, almost, but not there yet. He couldn't conceal weapons in them yet and until he could they weren't going on his back.
He dressed quickly and went down to breakfast. He hadn't eaten since lunch yesterday and now he was getting hungry. True, he go without food for days, but after staying up half the night, it would be prudent to eat. It was wise to eat if you could. That way your body would stay healthy.
After five minutes of walking, leisurely walking mind you, Heero arrived at the huge dining room that Rashid insisted Quatre, and not so incidentally Heero, use. Opening the door he was greeted with a tense silence...
Usagi stepped out of the phone booth. Quatre had promised her a place to stay for as long as she wanted. She knew that he always kept his word. A feeling of relief enveloped her and she slumped down on the nearest bench.
She only stayed that way for a few minutes before pushing herself up. It would be very embarrassing to be seen in such a disheveled state right now. Earlier she had been oblivious to all of the stares she had been getting from the surprisingly few people that were in the park today. But now she was noticing the glances people kept sending her way.
Usagi got up and walked out of the park, dignity shining through her every step. She didn't want all of those people thinking they could get to her with their gawking stares.
Unfortunately, one of her husband's co-workers saw her as she was leaving the park.
He would have been purple with rage had he not been the Perfect Soldier. How dare HE do that to her. The one female he had ever felt affection for. If that piss-poor excuse for a husband ever came within range of his gun he'd shoot him. Friend or no.
Quatre leaned against the wall, exhausted.
Flashback
*Quatre's Point of View*
"I can't believe he did that!" I shouted aloud. Ever since that phone call I had received from Usagi, I hadn't quite been able to get that anger out. Now, even the Maguanacs were avoiding me. I can't really blame them. Not after I had thrown one of them out of the window. Good thing it was the only a first story window...
I could feel the anger slowly burning inside. It was not a pleasant feeling, and I was have trouble stopping it. Hopefully helping Usagi will make it go away. She does have a certain calming effect on people.
At that moment Heero walked into the room. A few weeks ago Dr. J had contacted me. He wanted Heero to stay here with me. Dr. J had explained that there wasn't really a need for him to do any more missions at this time, except a few clean up jobs here and there. And because I was Heero's friend he asked me to take him in. I was glad to. I really miss everyone sometimes. It was nice to just have the companionship, even if Heero didn't really talk very much.
But right now, I really wasn't in the mood for company. Heero walked in. Right away he pulled out his gun. I really do wonder where he puts it sometimes....
*Heero's Point of View*
I walked into the dining room, but it didn't feel right. It was too tense. I quickly pulled my gun out and pointed it at the only person in the room. Quatre.
"Put the gun down, Heero," I heard Quatre say. my eyes were busy scanning the room for possible sources of danger. I gradually relaxed as I found nothing amiss.
"What's wrong?" I asked, keeping my voice emotionless. But Quatre was just sitting in his chair, staring. That's when I noticed his eyes fading back to their blue from a glowing red color. Again I whipped out my gun.
"Wait Heero! I haven't gone crazy again! I'm just extremely angry at this time." Quatre said. I could feel my eyes widening. (It was a compromise I had made with a certain blond bunny a few years ago. If I used more facial expressions, she wouldn't try to make me talk more.) Quatre must have noticed my eyes, because the rest of the red faded from his eyes as he suddenly grinned.
"Well Heero, if I had known I only had to get pissed off to make you show some emotion, I would have done it sooner!" Quatre shouted triumphantly.
I yanked back my impatience and calmly asked my question again. Quatre looked me straight in the eye and told me exactly what Usagi had seen only three hours ago...
*End Flashback*
My thanks to the people that reviewed and in response to your guesses:
Nya-chan- Yep! You're right. At least partly!
Moon Faery- Thank you and maybe!
Silver-nights- Okay! I definitely will continue.
Zaeria- Sorry, but it has to be! I don't want to write about Mamoru.
phoenixangel- Thank you!
Zetes Hikari Yuuki- I'm glad you're patient. I will update once a week.
Kitty Power- Don't worry, it's not him!
midlight bunny- You're right! Great deduction!
MarsMoonStar- Thank you!
Shadow Wolf- Umm... That was confusing, but Thanks!
Haa! I knew a lot of people would guess Mamoru was her husband. But he's not. It's fun bashing him, but I wanted to something a little different. There are some clues of Usagi's husband, if you look hard enough. I hope you like this chapter.
