Kingdom Gundam: Chapter Twenty-Seven

So, he sacrificed himself, too, Wufei said, quietly. Wufei looked at Heero. I hope I didn't hurt you that badly.

Don't worry about it, Heero said. I was under the influence of Ansem. There's nothing else you could do.

Yeah, we were pretty worried that we weren't going to get you back, Wufei, Duo said.

Especially since Duo sold Quatre out, Trowa said.

Don't make me hurt you, baby bunny, Duo snapped. They growled at each other. Wufei sighed.

How is it like, being a Heartless? Timothy asked. Wufei closed his eyes.

It was as if I were falling, he said. Falling into nothingness. I couldn't think or feel; I was forgetting who I was. I was forgetting you guys, too. Wufei paused, then opened his eyes. Even though I remembered Quatre, Heero's voice, somehow, came to me. I don't know why, but it returned me to this world.

That would have been fun! Wufei coming back without his memory, Duo said, grinning. Justice-Onna-Hater turns into I-Love-Women Man!

I don't hate women!

Yeah you do, Heero, Trowa and Duo said, in unison.

Really, I don't, Wufei insisted, as they walked in the hotel.

~In the Hotel~

Tell me, or you'll die! Deorwin yelled, sticking Smokey in Domon's face. Domon was tied up to a chair. What's Rain Mikamura's favorite food?

How am I supposed to know?! Domon yelled.

You've known everything else!

Uh, excuse us, Duo said. Deorwin and Domon turned their attention to the group. We want to stay another night.

No problem! Deorwin said, grinning. You keep adding and adding to your group. Pretty soon, you'll have to try your subtraction.

What's that supposed to mean? Duo asked. Deorwin just smiled. He placed Smokey on Domon's lap, then walked behind the counter.

Do you need an extra room? he asked.

I think we can manage with two rooms, Trowa said. Deorwin shrugged, then put down two rooms.

I can throw in an extra room, though, he said. It's small, and you won't have to pay extra.

Wufei quickly said.

Does Rain like guinea pigs? Smokey asked.

Ahhhh! It talks! Domon yelled. Get it off! Get it off!

You're the guy who was going to cream me back in Halloween Town, Wufei said. For stealing your trade mark line.

I thought this day couldn't get any worse, Domon muttered.

He is, isn't he? Duo asked. Uh, how did you know this guy, Wufei?

Don't worry about it.

You're the creep that stole my motorcycle, aren't you?! Domon yelled. I was in China and you're the guy that jumped me and stole my only pride and joy!

If you had an army of OZ soldiers behind you, wouldn't you steal something, too? Wufei snapped. Then he looked at his friends. Uh, heh heh, he said, nervously.

So, that's where it came from, Heero said, with a slight smile on his face.

Sorry about that, Wufei said. It's totaled, completely. Domon's mouth dropped open. An Aries shot it. I'll pay for it! I swear-

Deorwin interrupted. Who's getting the extra room?

We'll draw for it, Trowa said, taking out some toothpicks.

How come you always have something for us to draw rooms with? Duo asked. The first time we came, you had sticks so we could draw, too.

Cathy packed them, Trowa said. She packs the kitchen sink for me; where ever I go, she has to pack for me. He broke them and placed them in his hand. Each of them drew, then compared sticks.

Looks like you and me, Heero, Duo said.

I'm bunking with you again, Trowa, Timothy said, relieved that it wasn't anyone else.

I get the extra room, Wufei said, happily. Deorwin smiled.

This way, Wufei, he said. Wufei followed Deorwin to the yellow room. It was a bit smaller than the others, and it also had a balcony. It had an African theme to the room. This is where you're staying tonight, he said. Have a pleasant night. He softly laughed, closing the door.

Deorwin is officially strange, Wufei said, shaking his head. Why can't he be more like his sister?

Because everyone is different and no one is the same, said a voice.

Elenwen appeared.

You're going to have a hard stage a head of you, she said. You'll have to fight Ansem alone.

What?! Alone?

It'll be one of the hardest fights, she said. Your friends will be captured and won't be able to help you, until you free them.

That's great, Wufei muttered, sarcastically.

There's more good news. Ansem has managed to capture the real heroes of the game: Sora, Donald and Goofy. You'll have to free them, as well.

Wonderful. You'll help us, right? Wufei asked. Elenwen turned away.

I can't enter the door, she said. Only you, Duo, Trowa and Timothy can. I won't be able to help you much. Fly the gummi ship to the End of the World, the last stage of your journey and find Sora and his friends. After you defeat Ansem a third time, your journey is over.

It's over? She nodded. How much time has gone by in the real world? A couple of days? Weeks? Months?

A few hours.



Time here moves quicker than in the real world. You'll see. Good luck. I'll be waiting for you guys at the final resting place. She disappeared.
