Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing or the bishies that roam around the series. *sigh* I also don't own the song "My December" from Linkin Park.

GWing: I've decided to not care about this self-insert thing. So here are basics for this chapter.

Warnings: cursing

Pairings: various

Chapter 4

Duo paced in his room during lunch. He kept thinking about that power from Chiharu and it finally dawned on him. Some how Heero was with Chiharu, but how would that have happened?

"What's Chiharu?" Duo growled stopping to face his bed. Solo was laying on Duo's bed with a small smile.

"I'm not really sure either," Solo said shrugging.

"Death doesn't know what Chiharu is? How could you not know? Is it harmful? Is Heero alright?"

Solo held up his hands in surrender. "Hey, I told you I don't know. I can't go through someone's files unless they're dead."

Duo sighed and sat onto the bed. "Arg," Duo growled and laid back onto Solo's outstretched legs. Solo sighed and leaned forward to stroke Duo's hair.

"Even if I did know I wouldn't tell you," Solo continued. Duo turned his head to look at him accusingly.

"Why not?"

"It's fun to see you like this. And maybe you'll come back to be a string cutter. Didn't you like being a shinigami?"

Duo shrugged. "That reminds me, why was a shinigami by the door?

Solo stared at him in disbelief. "What are you talking about?"

"Chiharu got sick or something and she was taken to the nurse's and at the classroom door was a shinigami. No scythe but a huge grin, just looking at Chiharu."

"Are you sure?" Duo nodded. "Did you see who it was?" Duo shook his head. "Hn, I'll check up on it." Solo leaned down and stole a kiss from Duo. Duo blinked and Solo was gone again. The door opened. Miya walked in and the two glanced at each other briefly.

"I heard a girl got sick during school. A girl in your grade," Miya said walking into the room.

"Yeah and?"

"Well, I have heard some stuff, but I wanted to know what you knew."

Duo sat up and shook his head. "I don't know. She was green and swept away from the room. Why? What did you hear?"

Miya's eyes lit up. "I heard she was pregnant!"

"Wh.what?" Duo sputtered. Miya nodded.

"It's just a rumor, but it could have been morning sickness."

"I highly doubt that."

"It's just a rumor." Miya shrugged walking towards the bathroom. Duo chewed on his nails thinking about it.

What if she was pregnant? Then that would mean she couldn't be Heero because Heero was a guy. Duo rubbed his temples at the circling thoughts. Someone in the building was Heero. He had a feeling he was here, but who it was is a different story. Suddenly a memory foe Heero typing at his annoying lap top popped into his head.

Duo smacked himself. //Duh. Hack into files and see who transferred when Heero started his mission. // Duo was stupid sometimes.

*~*

They had let Chiharu go, after deciding that she was just getting a cold or overworking herself. Chiharu was just grateful to get out of there and start her weekend. Even though Heero was an unsociable pig it didn't mean she had to be. After assuring her friends that she would be ok to go out that had decided to go to the annual Friday Night Mixer sponsored by the boys at St. Gabrielle's All Boy's Finishing School.

Chiharu inhaled the cold night air as they drove towards the boy's school. She had been there once before and danced with some boys. She was shy, but the boys seemed to like her more like that.

"We're here!" one of her friends announced. Chiharu blinked. Suddenly there were kids everywhere and different colored lights were flashing. She smiled and got out of the car.

"There are so many cute guys!" another girl said latching onto her arm.

"Of course there are," yet another spoke up, "Who would want to be here with ugly guys?" The group of four nodded and giggled their consent before entering the school building.

Teachers were plastered to the walls, eyeing the children carefully. Kissing was ok, full blown making out was bad. Dancing ok, grinding not ok. Well, you get the picture.

The girls made their way around the edge of the dancers, flirting with guys occasionally.

//Anybody you like? // Chiharu asked Heero.

//Stupid question. // Heero answered. Chiharu sighed.

//I know, I'm sorry. You're in love with Duo and all. You're not fun sometimes. //

//I'm here on a mission. // Heero growled. Chiharu rolled her eyes and bumped into someone. She gasped as her bare shoulder hit his bare arm, his forethought immediately jumping to her.

//Damn it. Why'd Duo ask us all to come here? //

"Are you ok?"

Chiharu took in deep breaths and stared into emerald green eyes. Chiharu blinked and nodded.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't looking where I was going," Chiharu said.

"It's crowded," Trowa said with a shrug. Chiharu nodded and quickly walked away.

//Damn it! // The two growled in unison.

//What's he trying to pull? // Heero asked.

//How am I supposed to know? Duo's your wannabe lover. //

Heero growled at the statement. Chiharu rolled her eyes and caught up with her friends, unfortunately her friends were walking away from the DJ booth.

"Guys?" Chiharu asked at her smirking friends. They all smiled at her. One of tem grabbed her arm and pulled her into the middle of the dance floor. The next song came on and Chiharu's eyes widened. "You didn't!" she screamed, but they were already starting their skit. Chiharu grumbled. Every time they came to a party they had to do a group dance at least once during the night. They had seen Chiharu dancing to this song and knew it was the end of her.

The girls all danced around her making sure nobody knew she was in the middle but she looked at everyone outside the circle. She turned around and cursed silently, Quatre and Wufei were looking at the dance.

//This is what happens when you're sociable. // Heero chastised. Chiharu let a frustrated sigh. She started to listen to the music; her heart was beating rapidly with anticipation. It wasn't like she didn't want to do it, but it was a bit embarrassing and add to that the other pilots were watching well, it was making her nervous.

The circle started to ripple apart as her part began. Blue colored lights flashed on her and the song slowed. Chiharu closed her eyes and let her body take control. It was a mix of mixed song. The song was 'My December' from Linkin Park. It was a pre-colony band but Heero had quite the collection of pre-colony music.

:: This is my December These are my snow covered dreams This is me pretending This is all I need::

She swung her hips and let her hands move around. Her hair flew around in back of her, flowing the movements.

:: And I'd give it all away Just to have some where to go to Give it all away To have someone to come home to

This is my December This is my time of the year This is my December This is all so clear::

She turned around, her eyes still closed, as she still continued. She could feel the music slow down, the beat lengthening and the words were starting to slow. The DJ knew her part was going to end and he was trying to keep her there. She continued to dance.

:: Give it all away Just to have some where to go to Give it all away To have some one to come home to Give it all away Just to have some where to go to Give it all away To have some one to come home to::

The DJ let the music go back to its regular speed as the girls circled around her again for the end of the song. Chiharu fell to her butt and tried to get her heart under control.

//I want to disappear. // Chiharu thought.

//Can I do that? //

Chiharu's eyebrow's knit together in confusion. //Dance?// Heero nodded. //Yeah, everyone can. // Heero nodded again. The song ended and one of her friends helped her stand up.

"That was amazing," the girl said, "That was better than before." Chiharu shrugged.

"I'm gonna get a drink," Chiharu said rushing towards the mini-bar.

People followed her as she went to the bar and asked for a water from the teacher behind the counter. People patted her back and gave her encouraging remarks, but Chiharu could only hear all of their thoughts.

//That works up too much energy. // Chiharu said. Heero nodded.

//It means that we'll be switching soon. // Heero informed. Chiharu nodded. //We'll have to get the mission done early then. // Chiharu nodded again and took a drink of her water.

"Excuse me! Coming through! Got to get to Chiharu!"

Chiharu turned around to see one of her friends walking hurriedly towards her.

"What's the matter Heather?" Chiharu asked.

"It's Melanie! She's disappeared with some guy. Someone said they saw her go out the back, but she was like being dragged outside. Let's go!"

Heather grabbed Chiharu's arm with thoughts of concern being transmitted.

Chiharu let her self be dragged but noticed that her fellow pilots were following her.

//They know! // Heero said.

//They don't know anything Heero. They're here because of Duo. And besides one of my friends is in danger. //
