Chapter Two: The Kumiko RecoveryGin waited patiently on the floral couch in the front office for at least ten minutes before the two assassins returned with her friend. The three of them were really an odd site in the dull hallway. Kumiko and Duo were involved in a heated poking battle, and Heero appeared murderous; however, the two seemed too involved with their battle to care. Gin, did though, so when they came close enough she brought it to their attention.
"What's that matter Heero?" she asked quietly, then added in a more concerned manner, "You didn't run into Sr. Joyce[1] did you?"
That seem to grasp Duo's attention as he turned away from Kumiko, and let out a dry laugh, "It could have been her? Does she resemble a fat old guy with no fashion sense?[2]"
"No, more like a happy robot." Kumiko said in between giggles.
"…Ugly old baka…" Heero mumbled crossly.
"Oh, you're just sore because the jerk insulted your shorts." Duo smirked, as Heero's fists clenched.
He looked ready to hit the braided boy, but instead turned and said almost happily, "You forget, that was before I showed him my nice upper cut."
This explanation kept them entertained as they exited the high school and walked over to the white van where Quatre was patiently waiting for them.
The blond smiled merrily as the four of them jumped into the car, "It took you all long enough." He turned to the two girls and said, "Hello Gin, Kumiko. How are you two doing? It's been a long time since I last saw you both. How is everything?"
However before the girls could answer the bell rang, telling them that block four had ended, and it was only moments before Quatre exclaimed with a yelp, "What is that awful din?" The others fell silent and sure enough there was an appalling howling noise coming from CE 1.
"Ack! Choral Club must have started!" Gin exclaimed as her green eyes widened behind her glasses. Kumiko automatically clamped on to her ears, and the car screeched as Quatre pulled out of the crowded lot.
Once they were out of hearing distance Duo laughed as he said, "Thank God, I really thought we were done for…"
"Hn…" was the only reply he received from the others who appeared to still be in shock.
"We can't possibly sound that bad, or else Sr. Deloris [3] would have gotten rid of the choral club long ago…Wouldn't she have?" Gin asked after a few minutes of silence.
Kumiko glanced at her younger friend and tried to figure out how to comfort the stunned frosh, "Well, I don't think we're all that bad… I suppose we could be… Maybe that's why they put us in a building far from everyone else?"
Duo's eyes widened as he turned to the two girls in the back seat of the van and said, "You mean you're both members of that…"
"Club…" Quatre cut him off as he sent him a warning look through the rearview mirror.
"Yes!" the girls answered simultaneously.
"I'm so sorry." Was the only response they receive from Duo.
Heero alternatively smirked as he said, "Well, at least we know better than to ask for a performance…" He might have said more if he didn't see the glare Quatra was giving him, and he had flashback memories of the last time the pacifist went over the edge. Even the reflection of it made the perfect soldier cringe…

"Dou didn't tell Ms. Walker that he and Heero were your brothers did he?"
Kumiko brushed her long black hair behind her ears as she answered the other girl, "No… Was that how they got you out of west civ.?"
Gin nodded, and Kumiko appeared shaken as she poked Duo then said to him, "Dougherty really believed you three were related."
Duo's head bobbed proudly as he replied, "Of course she did. Why wouldn't she? I'm said to have wonderful acting skills." the four others in the car began laughing, and Duo looked hurt, "What are you bakas laughing at, I do! I have great acting skills…"
"In your dreams Maxwell." Heero answered simply.
"Kumiko, how did they get you out of biology?" Quatre asked politely.
"They just said they were here for me and Walker let me go."
Gin grinned at Duo and said, "So you got off easy the second time I see."
Duo scratched his head, "We were just lucky I suppose. We had to get her fast anyway so we could start our mission…"
"We have a mission? Wow, that's a change… I haven't been on one in a while. I was getting bored." Kumiko said. Duo grinned at her and their poking battle began once again, to Heero's dismay. He wondered once again why he didn't sit in the front seat…
"Wufei's been captured." Quatre said seriously, and Gin moaned, which caused the others to stare at her.
"Do we have to save him? He tried to kill Heero before you all blew up your Gundams…" she blushed and her eyes widened, as did Heero's. He looked at her with an expression that almost portrayed surprise. He hadn't told anyone about that fight, or at least he didn't think he had…
Duo answered almost matter-of-factly, and, lucky for her, missed the blush, "Yeah, well, I've tried to kill Heero tons of times, but you'd come to rescue me… Wouldn't you?
"It depends…"
Duo's right eyebrow rose as he said, "What do you mean by that Yuy?"
Heero shrugged then smirked and the boy beside him, "It depends on how many pranks you pulled on me that day."
Duo glared, "*If you're making a joke that's cruel, and if you're being sarcastic that's even more cruel…"
A/N: Yes that was a line from Endless Waltz; I liked it so much that I couldn't help using it. I'm not sure when this story takes place, so please don't ask… Hmm, what else… Oh, um, yeah I tried to work the plot in here, and I should probably mention that this will eventually be a Gundam Wing/Yu-Gi-Oh crossover. Though, don't fret that short and loveable purple haired teen won't be in my story too much. Now for an explanation to my inside jokes…
[1] Sr. Joyce is the Vice principal at my imaginary all girl's school, and she is one of those unbearably happy people who are always smiling.
[2] Come on students from AOLP, we all know who this is… If you don't let me remind you that everyone says the word 'gordo' when you speak his name…
[3] Sr. Delores is the dean of the high school.
I believe that is all, so I shall now say a warm thank you to my reviewers and my beta, Mists of Avalon, and go to bed. THANK YOU ALL!
