Oi.I'm getting really behind in everything, aren't I? Well, I'm all moved,
and back in all my glory.if I ever had any glory. So I'll get on with this.
I don't know how long it'll be, or how many chapters are left, but at least
I'm posting something, right?
Disclaimer-I don't own it so don't sue. I'm sure there's a more creative way to do this whole disclaimer thing. I'll have to think about that for a while.Hmm.

Chapter 7
"Tell me what's going on Duo, remembering that Shinigami doesn't lie."
Duo shook his head. "I've already tried to tell you Heero, and you wouldn't listen. I can't see, but I have another.sense." He sighed. "Anyway, we don't have time to get into the details of my problem now, if I've been doing just fine this whole mission. Not to mention that I got myself into outer space and found you guys without being able to look at a computer screen."
Heero raised an eyebrow.
"Can we get on with this now?"
He slowly nodded. "We don't seem to have much choice."
Duo grinned, and pulled a gas mask over his face as Heero did the same. He then chucked a grenade into one of the main engines, and Heero threw the gas grenades, efficiently clearing the way.
With the main control panel now free for their personal use, Heero made his way there quickly while Duo once again stood guard at one of the doors.
"You'd better hurry, Heero." He called out. "We've only got a couple minutes until reinforcements get here."
The stoic pilot nodded, and quickened his movements over the keyboard, breaking through passwords, security systems, and firewalls as if he were a child with a toy. Finally, he found what he was looking for. A few files on the new model suit models that were being built. Saving them to a disk, he then pulled out his gun and placed a few bullets into the computer system. "Done." He called to Duo, who he noted was standing by the door, looking in his general direction.
The braided pilot nodded, and, pulling out the two other grenades, he launched them into the engines.
The two boys left the room at a run, explosions behind them as they headed back for their gundams.
A little over seven minutes later, they had exited the resource satellite, and Duo had headed Deathscythe towards the other 3 pilots to see where he could help in the raging battle.
However, Heero called him back. "Duo, I need you to watch my back, get the others out of there."
Duo nodded, and contacted Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei. As soon as they were out of harm's way, Heero aimed his buster rifle, and with three well aimed shots, the satellite was no more.
"Where are we going now?" Duo asked, having no clue since he had not been included in the planning of the mission.
Heero grunted something about hiding in a colony until they received another mission, and then took off into the darkness.
Duo followed Wing Zero, his thoughts on how he was supposed to explain his situation to the other pilots so that they would believe him. It would not be an easy task, when he didn't really understand it himself.
*~*
The next day, the gundams were hidden in an unused entrance to one of the colonies. The pilots were staying in a forgotten warehouse, where no one would guess to look for them. Duo had tried again to explain his disability to the pilots, but he hadn't managed to get his point across.
"It's like I can see everything in 3D, in black and white, without using my eyes." Didn't seem plausible to the other four, and so, he was lying down, 'recuperating'.
But, they didn't have any food.
And although Heero could go for days without it, they had been instructed to stay on the colony for at least a month, or until they got another mission. Whichever came first.
So, Quatre and Trowa had gone for a very long walk into the nearest town, where they planned to get some food (Duo had of course put in his order for pizza), while the others were left to fend for themselves.
Heero had found a map of the colony on his laptop, and so had figured that it would take the two pilots 2 days at the most to make the trip, so that they wouldn't be exhausted for their next mission.
So that meant that Duo, Wufei and Heero had no food for two days.
Or did they?
*~*
Duo sighed. "Why won't you believe me? And apples would be better than nothing! I'm hungry, and if you won't come with me, I'm going by myself."
Heero shook his head. "There are no apple trees on the colonies Duo, they didn't plant any, and you can't go by yourself because your condition is unstable."
Wufei grunted something about stupid bakas and headed into another area of the warehouse to get some training in.
"But Heero.It would at least give me something to do! I'm bored AND I'm hungry."
Heero shook his head again. "No."
"Fine. Then don't come with me, I'll go by myself." And so, he got to his feet, and headed for the exit.
Heero didn't have much choice but to follow him.
*~*
They soon came upon a clump of trees that seemed different than the others, and Heero saw that they did indeed bear redish green fruits. Duo somehow managed to climb to the top of one of them, almost hidden beneath the thick foliage. "Hey Heero, what's worse than finding a worm in your apple?" He called down.
All he got was a grunt for a reply, but Heero did have an apple in hand, and he was wiping it on his shirt.
"Finding half a worm!" Duo laughed, then proceeded to explain the joke. "Cause you know, that would imply that you'd taken a bite out of the worm, and that you'd swallowed it." He then gave a cry of surprise, and a bitten into apple fell from the tree, landing beside Heero.
"Heero, I can't see anything." Duo called down, his voice worried.
"I figured that."
"But Heero. I mean it.I can't see.and I can't move.It's too far."
Heero started to get remotely worried. "You're barely three feet off the ground Duo, just jump."
"But its all black.I can't see Heero, help me, please." His voice trailed off towards the end of his sentence, surprising his stoic friend.
He sounded.afraid almost.
So, Heero climbed up the tree after Duo, to find him clinging perilously to the trunk, staring blankly ahead, groping around helplessly.
"Duo."
No response.
"Duo." Heero waved his hand in front of his friend's eyes.
"Heero.where are you? I can't hear you anymore.Heero? Heero!"
Heero grabbed Duo's arm to keep him from falling off of his branch. "I'm here, you baka. Calm yourself. I'll help you down."
Duo, not hearing a sound of the 'comforting' words Heero was offering, responded only to his touch, and it took them quite a while to descend from the treetop.a mere 5 feet off the ground. Had Duo been able to see, he would have only had to jump. Without his senses, he was totally helpless.but of course, Shinigami would never admit to something like that.
*~*
By the time Heero got Duo back to the warehouse, he could hear again, but he still couldn't see anything, nor could he sense. His sixth sense had left him, but was it gone for good?
*~*~*~*~*
I hope you like it, and reviews are allowed.hinthinthint. Or I might just have to send someone after you. *glances around* yes..
Poll time!
romance? What pairings? Bear in mind that there aren't that many chapters left.I don't think.
Should Duo regain his sight, the sixth sense, or just remain unable to see or whatever?
Do you understand this whole sixth sense thing, or do I need to explain it a bit more?
