Ch. 15 - Acceptance of Love

Quatre suddenly clutched the area where his heart was and his face scrunched in pain. Katrina looked worried at him and asked him if he was alright.

"No... someone is hurt, our friends are hurt!" he gasped out.

Katrina's eyes widened in shock and helped Quatre up. She led him to her car and he directed her to where the pain was being transmitted from. They left the city and headed towards the country. Soon, Quatre passed out from the pain and Katrina stopped the car at Rillian Mountain Pass.

"Gundams... why are they here?" she said as she saw Wing Zero and Shadow Blaze turned off but standing in a wide field.

She stumbled through the grass and found Heero and Hana unconscious on the ground. She ran to them and Katrina quickly whipped out her small cell phone. The girl dialed her home, having to hang up and begin again a couple times from the clumsiness of her trembling fingers. Luckily, her dear friend, Etroi, picked up the phone.

"Etroi! Y-You have to come to the Rillain Mountain Pass right now! Hana and Heero-san are passed out here..." Katrina said as she started to hyperventilate.

Etroi was silent for a moment and hung up. The kind blonde-haired child put away her phone as she knew that her friend was coming. Her body shook as she walked closer to the two. Blood continued to flow from their wounds, most of them on Hana from her having a NMS.

Katrina carefully turned over the bodies and checked their pulse and breathing. A honk made her jump and she saw that everyone had come in 3 separate cars. Breathing heavily, she got up and called her friends over. They ran to the site and all began to help their comrades, with silence that overwhelmed some.

A friend of the gundam pilots, Sally Po, arrived after being called by Trowa and escorted the large group to her house near the pass. The group waited impatiently outside of the operating room.

Sally came out with a gentle smile,

"They're going to be okay. Lots of bruises and cuts on them and a few bones broken, but nothing Heero and Hana can't handle."

She led them to the room that the injured two were put in and sat down in the many chairs that were requested by Sally. A silence passed over them and finally one of them found his voice. Wu Fei was the only one that was confused.

"Wait, how do you know the onna and why was Wing Zero and one of those stranger gundams out there? How the hell am I the only one who doesn't get even half of this whole situation?!" he addressed to the whole group.

One of the members coughed awkwardly and Etroi cleared her throat.

"We are the gundam pilots that you and your comrades have been encountering. As you can see, Duo, Trowa, and Quatre already know because they found out from Viette, Katrina, and myself. We are not your enemies like Heero had thought but we aren't on the same exact side. We didn't expect so many of you to find out about us but I guess that's how the water flows..."

Wu Fei looked at Soo Min.

"So you're one of them?"

Soo Min slightly nodded and Wu Fei nodded back in acceptance.

"Finally an onna that matches my strength." he said.

The male gundam pilots were shocked beyond belief. The man that was known as the male chauvinistic pig by women had admitted that a woman was as strong as him!

Duo almost screamed,

"OH MY SHINIGAMI! HAS THE WORLD COME TO AN END?!?!"

Viette then clamped her hand over his mouth and effectively shut him up, some way or another. The girls excluding Soo Min didn't realize what was so shocking about what Wu Fei said but they assumed that they didn't know him long enough.

Then, a click of a gun immediately silenced the crowd. They turned around to see Heero sitting up in his bed with his gun aimed right at the girls.

"So if you're not on our side, whose are you on?"

There you go for that chapter! Ja Ne!
