Chapter#6. She Bangs

"Ugh," Wufei groaned. He was being dragged by cuffed hands down a hall. All his guns were gone. All his knifes were gone. Plus his legs were tied together. Crap.

Abruptly they reached a door and after typing in several passwords and catscans the door opened to reveal a luxurious room with a large four poster bed in the middle of it.....with a blonde woman tied up to it. She was still in her blue gown.

Sally didn't even open her eyes, "what do you want, D'Armand."

"I thought you'd like some company," D'Armand said before cuffing Wufei across the head, making him groan.

Sally's eyes snapped open, "Wufei!"

Wufei blearily looked up. One eye was swollen shut by a black eye, obviously someone had decided on taking slight revenge, "Sally?" he asked weakly.

"S**t! D'Armand, what'd you do to him!" Sally fairly shrieked, pulling on her handcuffs with all her might, despite that her wrists were bleeding.

"He brought weapons into the manor. We frown upon those the same as we frown on drugs."

"You're a Freak, you know that," Sally spat as they tied Wufei to the front posts , one arm to each so that Wufei would be forced to stand up despite the pain, either that or hang by his wrists.

"Yes, I know," D'Armand pulled out a small jeweled dagger...the one that Wufei had given to her two Christmases ago and which she had worn down her bodice, "but you also came in armed and spying. You payed the price, too. I particularly liked this dagger as I was the one to remove it."

Before Sally could furiously retort Wufei spoke one venomous word and lifted his head up high enough to scowl at him through his good eye, "B@$T@RD."

D'Armand clapped his men to attention, "eight lashes for him, and make sure she's watching."

As the evil man left the room he heard Wufei's shirt being ripped off his back and the sounds of a whip lashing filled the air. There were no screams. Gasps from him and whimpers from her, but there were no screams. They wouldn't allow the enemy see them weak.



A half an hour later Wufei hung from the poles by his wrists. His back was bleeding and the sound of blood dripping onto the marble filled the silence where his gasping had formerly been. His wrists were bleeding, too, but he hardly noticed as he'd lost feeling in them a while ago. Plus his hair had fallen out of its tie and now stuck to his sweaty face. As D'Armand's men finally left Sally broke down and began sobbing. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to reach him but she just couldn't.

"D@mn it, Wufei! I can't reach you. You're right there and I just can't even touch you!" Sally yanked on her wrists, then winced.

"Don't try Sally," Wufei spoke softly, his voice dry and hoarse, " you'll just hurt yourself more."

"But you'll bleed to death!"

Wufei shook his head, "better me than you."

"What exactly are you saying, Wufei," Sally demanded, "that you want to die?!"

"No one wished for death....well, except for maybe Heero," Wufei barked out a hoarse laugh which ended up making him cough, "I would just rather have myself die than you. I don't want to lose another woman I love to death. You don't deserve that. Hmm, I guess I lost the bet with Heero."

"You love me?! Bet with Heero?! Explain."

Wufei sighed, "I made a bet with Heero that if I could reveal my feeling to you and ask you out he'd have to kiss Relena. Hmmm. I revealed my feelings to you, so he still has to kiss her. Tell Heero for me, I don't think I'll have the chance." And with that Wufei finally fell unconscious.

"Wufei! Ah, great. I found out the man loves me right before he gets ready to die. Well, at least I have a reason to live now," Sally sighed and started meditating, focusing all of herself on saving energy for the future fight.



BOOM!!! A blast went off on the other side of the room as a large hole appeared. Sally coughed and Wufei's breathing took on a wheezy quality.

"The 'Shinigamis' have entered the building," Duo called out as he came through the wall and jumped down the rubble. He held out his hand to his girlfriend and helped her jump down, "and now introducing Hilde Sheibeker! She enjoys hacking, buying M.S. parts, and blowing up walls."

"Duo, shut up and untie us," Sally interrupted, "Wufei's bleeding to death."

Duo immediately cut the crap and got to it, using a laser knife to cut Wufei and Sally's chains.

As soon as they'd cut her bonds Sally rushed to where Wufei had collapsed on the floor. Without hesitating she ripped the bed coverlet and began wrapping it around his torso and wrists. Wufei groaned and she held a finger to his lips.

"Shhh. Duo and Hilde are here," Sally held him close.

"Dumb Maxwell," Wufei muttered as Sally helped him stand up and walk to the hole in the wall where a ladder was perched, "always taking vacations at the wrong time."

Duo chuckled, "well it's better than you. You never take vacations."

They were suddenly distracted as the door to the room burst open and ten of D'Armand's men ran in, pulling out multiple weapons.

"Well, we have some uninvited guests at this party. Let me deal with them,"Duo pulled out a gun and began shooting. Hilde helped Sally bring Wufei all the way down the ladder and into an ambulance which Heero was driving.

"Get in," Heero said flatly, " Duo'll have help in a minute." Before he'd even finished his sentence Quatre and Trowa arrived on a motorcycle and Dorothy and Catherine arrived on another. Hilde went to join them. Soon the sound of shooting filled the air. Before Heero started driving away Sally called out to him.

"What about Hilde and Duo? They don't have a ride."

"They brought their own motorcycle, don't worry about them. Pay attention to taking care Wufei. He looks pretty bad," Heero was staring at the road as he sped back to headquarters.

"Right," Sally reached for a pile of bandages and began applying them to Wufei's back after placing him on his stomach. Every time he winced she did, too. After a few shots of painkiller he was feeling a lot better.

"Hey Sally," Wufei said wryly from where he lay, "I know it's a bit late, but would you go out with me?"

Sally grinned, "sure," she kissed his cheek.

"D@mn," Heeor said clearly and flatly.

"You promised, Heero."

"I was hoping that your pride would go before your fall," Heero sighed, "besides I never said when I'd kiss her."

"There's always a loophole in the system," Sally rolled her eyes.
