Heero stormed angrily through the building. If _his_ Duo was in trouble, whoever did it would meet _his_ fist. Cursing under his breath about his carelessness, he went outside and warily scanned his surroundings. Nothing was extremely unusual, so he waited.
Instantly, Heero's eyes were covered by a thick sheet of cloth and a hand was over his mouth. A low raspy voice said to him "Move and he dies." The Japanese boy could only comply and nodded his cooperation. He was then dragged to a secluded place in back woods near the school and the blindfold and hand was removed. When he turned, his captor was no where to be seen and he recognized the woods as where he and Duo had stored their Gundams.
"Where is Duo?" His voice was laced with menace and definite pain for the person who had captured one of his comrades, and possible love. "Show me where he is _now_."
"Of course, of course." The same raspy voice replied from the trees above him. Heero could have sworn it sounded snake-like. "Just follow the path and you'll get a big surprise."
The Wing pilot quickly stalked down the path, not caring for personal safety. Occasionally, a branch would scratch him and created a large cut on his arm. But he didn't care. Duo was at stake here.
When he reached the end of the road, there was definitely something wrong. He felt it in the atmosphere. There was just something completely off about this kidnapping. He surveyed the area again and noticed a little letter on the ground. In neat Japanese characters, it read: "Walk one miles north-northeast. Shinigami hunts there."
As the Wing pilot ran through the forest in said direction, he could swear he heard snickering from the trees. Calm down, Yuy. It's probably just a damn squirrel. Just calm down and find Duo. You're just being paranoid.
Finally reaching his destination, he saw a small cabin. There were two windows on each wall, allowing him access to the insides of the cabin, and welfare of his dear Duo. But, when he tried peeking inside, the shades were pulled down right before he got a chance to even glance into the cabin.
Getting extremely pissed, he began to stalk to the front door, bent on breaking it down and surprising the living shit out of whoever was inside. Unfortunately for him, he heard a cell phone ringing in a nearby bush and picked it up.
"Yes?" He gritted his teeth and it produced a harsh grinding sound.
"Well? Where are you? We're waiting for you! Go inside already, geez!" Then a click indicating the person hanging up. The voice was different, but he was sure as hell as to who the attitude belonged to. Immediately, he put his gun back in its spandex space.[1] Grabbing the knob angrily, he slammed the door open and moved his fist towards the left side of the door. Angry fist came in contact with a now broken nose and the Japanese boy fished around for a light switch. Success came within seconds.
"Aw…Heero! You ruined our fun!"
"Duo! What the hell did you think you were doing, running off like that! You had me worried sick!"
"Well…it's a long story…"
"I'm listening."
Before Duo could finish taking his breath in preparation to explain what happened, someone came into the cabin. "Heero! Uh…surprise?"
It was Quatre, closely followed by Trowa. So Heero wasn't hearing things. It _was_ the blond who was snickering in the trees earlier. Quickly piecing together who did what, Heero went back to glaring at Duo.
"Eh…maybe I'll explain after Wu-man comes to, huh? You hit him pretty damn hard."
The four went to investigate the welfare of their partner in crime and was happy to him stirring already. "K'so. I think you broke my nose, Yuy."
"Phew. Wu-man's okay. Just being his goddamn charming self, I guess."
"Hush, Duo. Or should I say Hellen-chan?" They began to playfully punch each other on the shoulder.
Meanwhile, Heero turned to the remaining sane people in the room. "Why are you here?"
"Mission." How like Trowa to know what exactly to say in the least possible words.
Heero quirked his eyebrow up and allowed Quatre quickly go over the events. "We received new orders that there was spy here and we had to come and help you infiltrate and kill. Not only must we kill the spy, but we must also delete the school's computer records. The headmaster has been bribed by OZ and he is said to work for them as well. They know that one of the Gundam pilots is here. Only two though, not five."
"That explains why you're here but was 'kidnapping' Duo necessary?"
"Well…that was his idea."
"It's more fun than a play!" the braided boy called from his play fist fight with Wufei. "And I'm sure you don't want the guys to see you in tights!"
Heero growled low and continued his interrogation. "Your disguises?"
"One male, two females."
"Uh…what exactly would that entail?"
Trowa smirked. "Well, it isn't me."
That most certainly got Heero's attention. Sure he could picture Quatre as a girl. But, Wufei? Hn, so Wufei was going to be a girl. Well, things just got more interesting.
"I managed to put you and me in the same room, Heero. Quatre, Wufei, and Duo will have to share the room with whoever is Duo's current roommate in that housing. On the plus side, I got them a bigger room and it is closer to us, so mission work might be slightly easier. This spy is going to be hard to catch, so keep on your toes."
The Japanese boy nodded stoicly as he always did after mission reports. His and Duo's safety were in danger. He couldn't risk that. This mission needed to be completed ASAP. "Ryoukai."
"So, guys, wanna get into your disguises and head back with me? I'm sure Heero running off from the play has Umi-chan worried."
Quatre blinked. "Who's Umi-chan?"
"Oh, you're gonna love her! She's the coolest!"
Suddenly, Heero felt REALLY sorry for Wufei.
