-----Scene Thirteen, take one-----

"Usagi! I'm back!" Duo called, shutting the door behind himself.
The blond who appeared, however, wasn't Usagi. "Okaeri, Duo!" Quatre greeted him. "Usagi's upstairs in my sister Meri's room, trying to find something else to wear."
A small pout hit the American's face. "I guess I'll wait on her to start the movie then. Ne, which sister is Meri? The chef?"
"No, she's the one in college."
"Okaeri, Duo-kun!" Usagi came bounding down the stairs in a pair of cut-off shorts and a tanktop a few sizes too small with a pair of high-top sneakers. "What did you reeeeeeeeeeeeennnnnnnnnntttttttt?"
*slam*
-----Cut-----
Duo & Quatre: *wince*
Duo: "That had to hurt..."
Quatre: "Are you ok, Usagi-san?" *helping her up*
Usagi: *red face from falling to the floor* "Diiiiiizzzzzzzzzzzzzyyyyyyyyyyyyy......"
Duo: *snickers* "We already knew that....."
-----Scene Thirteen, take two-----
*snip*
"Doomo," the Japanese boy stated, finally breaking the tableau.
"W- what are -"
"I needed this to kill Ririna." His grip inextricable, he forced Duo's hand off the sword, and it vanished. "Take care of Usagi for me, Duo. You're the only one I trust to do it." His fist smashed into Duo's stomach, and the American crumbled.
Duo cursed, "You've always enjoyed doing that, haven't you? Can't you throw fake punches for once?"
Hiiro chuckle, "If you wouldn't talk so damn much...."
-----Cut-----
Dorothy: "Its about time someone shut him up...."
Duo: *looking at Dorothy* "Love you too..."
Dorothy: "Humpf...." *turns away from Duo*
Camera man: *looking at Sound guy* "Can I go home now?"
Sound guy: "I wish"
-----Scene Thirteen, take three-----
*snip*
"Duo?" a soft and decidedly feminine voice whispered from close to him.
He opened his eyes to see a very worried looking Usagi above him, and he screamed, "Gods, Hiiro killed me and I went to hell!!!!"
*SLAP*
-----Cut-----
Duo: "ITAI!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" *rubs the red hand print on his face*
Usagi: *storms off the set*
Dorothy: *walks up to Duo* "If you don't start behaving yourself, I'm going to find someone else to cast in this role..."
Duo: *shocked face* "You wouldn't dare...!"
Dorothy: "Oh I wouldn't would I? As a matter of fact, I already have someone just waiting to fill your role..." *looks behind her* "You can come out now!"
Ryuichi: *walks out onto the stage* "HI DUO-KUN!!!!!!!!!"
Duo: *sweat drop*
-----Scene Thirteen, take four-----
*snip*
It had been embarrassingly easy to locate Ririna; he'd stepped onto the street after cutting through the woods, and there she was. Her face was blank at first, then she grinned and stated, "So good to see you, Hiiro."
"Ririna -"
"I know, I know. 'Omae o korosu.' You need a new line, Hiiro."
~Don't leave me, Hiiro,~ floated into his mind. ~Please, don't leave me.~
Usagi? he tried to return.
~Don't fight Ririna, Hiiro. You're not -~
Go back to Duo, Usagi, he interrupted. He promised to take care of you.
He could tell somehow that statement made her angry, though he couldn't fathom why. ~Don't you understand, Hiiro?~ she demanded.
Understand what?
"That we've been given this really cool power where we can talk to each other telepathically...think of the potential! Think of our school grades!"
"Hey yeah, your right...tests will be a breeze now...I already know what we can do...One of us goes in for a test, the other one can stay at home with the books...just ask the questions and the other can find the answers. This sure will make college a lot easier..."
-----Cut-----
Dorothy: "What are you two DOING?" *stares at the two of them as they just look at each other communicating telepathically*
Usagi: "She's really annoying...how'd you put up with her in the series?"
Hiiro: "We learned to cope..."
Dorothy: *glare*
Sound guy: "You two should really cut this out, you know?"
Hiiro & Usagi: *sweat drop* "How'd he do that?"
-----Scene Thirteen, take five-----
*snip*
Usagi skidded to a stop at the top of a steep hill at the end of the edge of the woods, startled by the sound of metal colliding against metal, and promptly fell flat on her face.
-----Cut-----
Duo: *runs up behind her and bursts into laughter* "Usagi! You as such a klutz!"
Usagi: *looks up, her eyes watering*
Duo: "Ano.......gomen nasai, Usagi-chan!"
-----Scene Thirteen, take six-----
*snip*
"It's not like I want to."
She raised her head to meet his eyes. "Will you come back when it's safe?"
"Of course." He winced in a brief but rather intense burst of pain within his body. "You'd better go soon." He glanced to the top of the hill. "Duo's waiting for you."
"I don't want to." She threw her arms around his neck. "I want to stay here with you." She kissed the cheek she'd slapped a few hours earlier. "I love you, Hiiro."
"I... love you, Usagi," he hesitantly stated.
Usagi stared at him for a long moment, disbelief shining in her eyes. Had she heard right? Had he actually said... She pulled herself closer to him and brought her lips to his. Hiiro remained motionless for a half second then gently, almost reverently, began to kiss her back.
For several long moments, they remained like that, each intent solely on the other. Finally the need for air drove them apart. Without a word, both took a step back, away from each other, transfering their arms around each other to joined hands. Then they had to let even that go.
Almost silently, Usagi turned and headed back up the hill to where the God of Death was still waiting for her. Even as they left to go back to Quatre's house, she never once looked back.
Hiiro watched until he could no longer see her, then he too turned and walked away.
-----Cut-----
Dorothy: "At least you all were able to finish the scene without any more screw-ups...."
Ririna: *scowls* "Why didn't anyone write a scene like that for me?"
Hiiro: *runs off to the rest room* "LISTERINE!! I NEED LISTERINE!!!!!!"
Duo: *snickers*
Usagi: *scowls*
