At some point I'm going to get tired of having to a warning, but alas I must; There is yaoi (same as before, 1x2, 3x4 and possibly other stuff), violence, behavioral issues.. oocness... excreta, in this chapter ^_^

And like the last two chapters.. I don't own Gundam Wing, Bandai and Sunrise do (those evil bastards..)

And now on with the chaos!

Chapter Three : Sunsets, Kittens, and Treize

********************

The rush up the stairs to exit below deck was maddening. Noin and Zechs had made it to the top step when Wufei and Heero suddenly tried to push their way past, causing the other two forms to smash together at an alarmingly high pressure. Trowa bolted at the same time as Treize which made the plug in the stair well even worse, and Duo was close behind, the only one of the whole bunch who decided to take it slowly for safeties sake.

Quatre on the other hand stood in front of the kitchenette with a very sinister grin on his lips. He was slowly devising his revenge against Duo; something the poor bastard would never forget. His wide eyes sparkled as he began to laugh insanely (picture Doctor Evil if you will). Relena stood next to the blonde boy with a bewildered look on her face. She, for one, didn't understand why everyone was scrambling to get up the stairs so fast, and also couldn't figure out why Quatre looked like he had just sold his soul to the devil for a box of Poky. Then again, Relena wasn't too good at understanding most things.

As the last figure disappeared to the top deck, Duo with that yak look plastered on his face again since Treize's ass was at his eye level, Relena turned her attention back to Quatre. She swore his head swiveled around 360 degrees like the girl in the Exorcist, the movie that scarred her for life and possibly diminished her brain cell count, had. Thankfully for the overly expensive Oriental rug below them, no pea soup was expelled.

With a brow cocked and a look of fear on her face, Relena migrated off to the left towards her over sized suite. Quatre on the other hand continued to laugh until he couldn't breath anymore. He stopped quickly and adjusted his shirt; he didn't want to look unkempt of course. He then made his way up the stair well a good five feet behind his impending victim.

Heero and Wufei, successfully, were the first two to make it back on deck. Zechs and Noin followed, practically flung from the stairwell, with Trowa and Treize close behind. Duo meandered his way up the last stair, shaking off that horrible image of eyebrow girl, and let out a long sigh. The afternoon had faded into dusk while they were below deck. The sun was becoming low and the atmosphere took on an eerie light. Duo had an awful feeling he was going to regret going to sleep when the time came.

Trowa stopped moving towards the side of the ship once he noticed Quatre was not by his side. His brow popped up as he looked around for his blonde lover. The closest person near him was Treize, who was fiddling with Zechs' paper umbrella while a look of longing played across his features. Trowa couldn't help but notice the expression on Treize's face as he ventured over next to him

"Uh, Treize?" Trowa questioned. Treize quickly dropped the umbrella and brought a cheery, not to mention cheesy, grin to his face.

"Yes Trowa?" He chirped. Trowa idly stared at the man in front of him for a moment. Treize became very uncomfortable, suspecting that Trowa had caught him in the act. His expression made it obvious; he looked like an overly constipated monkey.

"Have you seen Quatre?" Trowa asked. Treize's expression faded into relief; much like that same constipated monkey on ex-lax.

"Yeah. He didn't rush up the stairs like the rest of us, so I'm assuming he's still down there. Otherwise he'd be up here with us and you wouldn't be asking me this question and so on and so forth." A long winded answer as per usual. Trowa mentally noted not to ask Treize anything above 'How's the weather?' from now on. Though even that could turn into a ten minute conversation with the man; Trowa suspected he would become a politician some day (har, har.) The two continued to stare at each other for a moment until Trowa noticed Quatre emerging from below. Concern formed on his face as he noticed the wiry grin plastered on blue eyed pilot.

"There you are Quat!" Trowa rushed over to him, wrapping his arms tightly around his body. Quatre's features faded to normal as he returned the embrace. "I love you little one."

"I love you too" Quatre replied. The two locked lips passionately as they embraced. Treize was still close by, watching the two love birds. A large tear formed in one eye and he began to sniff.

Duo had met up with Heero at the stern of the ship. Unlike normal, like any of this is normal, Heero was smiling brightly as he watched the sun set. Duo looked to him with a grin before he planted a wet one on Heero's cheek. Heero laughed, more like giggled, and wrapped his arm around the braided boys shoulder.

"You baka, always ruining a romantic moment." Heero chuckled. Duo huffed, with that same grin of course, before he leant his head onto Heero's shoulder. "But I still love you."

"I love you too, my perfect solider." Duo replied while kissing on Heero's neck.

Down the way, on the left side of the boat, sat Zechs and Noin. He had returned to his tiki chair, which he had no idea had been spoiled by Treize's nakedness, with Lucrezia perched in his lap. Her arms were wrapped around his neck as they too stared off into the sun set (::sappy meter goes through roof::). Zechs' let out a long sigh as he rubbed Noin's bare thigh. 'Hot pants... man's greatest invention' he mused.

"Noin?" He whispered.

"Yes Zechs?" She replied, all quite like as well.

"I love you, Lucrezia." He smiled proudly as he kissed her cheek.

"I love you too, Milliardo." She smiled just as wide as she rubbed the side of his neck. The two looked back to the sunset with love filled (::puke::) eyes.

All the while Treize, who stood in the midst of the three couples, began to tear up more. Another sniff was produced, then another.

"Its so beautiful I'm jealous!" Finally he broke out in a pathetic wail, tears pouring from both eyes like giant waterfalls.

Simultaneously Trowa and Quatre, sucking each other's faces off of course, Duo and Heero, and Zechs and Noin turned around to see what the sound was. They caught the sight of Treize running off towards the bow of the ship, wailing like a banshee, where Wufei had stationed his ever so solitary self. Large sweat drops formed on all six observers.

Wufei had been enjoying his newest katana, a bribe from Relena to come on the cruise, when a figure came screaming by him to the very front of the boat. His brow quirked up as he noticed the wailing form of a half naked Treize. Unlike Duo the visage of Treize reacted nicely to Wufei's body, without much regard to his poor mind, as he stared at the man's back. 'INJUSTICE! Another man should not make me feel all warm and fuzzy like a newborn kitten. OH GOD! I just compared myself to a cute, furry animal! Nataku forgive me..'

Wufei snapped back to reality as he noticed Treize had stopped wailing. Treize had switched moods faster than a pregnant women; he was now calm. Wufei just continued to stare at Treize's back as he attempted to mentally beat away the feelings of 'fuzziness'.

Treize couldn't help but notice he was being watched. Slowly he swiveled his upper body around to eye whomever was invading his personal bubble with their eyes. He was surprised to see it was Wufei, katana in hand and eyes blank as ever. He was even more surprised to see Wufei rubbing his blade with a cloth in an awfully naughty way. Treize stared at Wufei. Wufei stared at Treize. Treize continued to stare at Wufei. Wufei continued to stare at Treize. You can just assume what they did for the next hour.

Back at the opposite end of the boat still stood Heero and Duo. Treize's outburst hadn't phased the two of them much, they still held each other as they watched the sun dip below the ocean. The darkness was a bit disconcerting to Pagan, who was stationed in the control room watching everything that had gone on much to his own amusement, so he flipped on the deck lights. Little palm tree lights criss crossed above everyone's heads and white lights were periodically spaced along the sides of the ship. How fun, how clever... how un-Relena like.

Since Trowa had decided to check on Wufei, to make sure he hadn't drowned in Treize's 'waterfalls', Quatre decided to go back down below and see if his plan would work. Much to his happiness, he found that all twenty doors were not adorned with numbers. Not too surprising since it wasn't a cruise ship. Instead Relena had placed little tags on each of the doors. The hall was very wide and to the right and the left there were nine doors (massive, massive yacht by the way). At the end was the master suite, number 20 as Quatre recalled, and the 19th room. Quatre figured people weren't going to memorize that Relena's room was number 20 and he assumed by the time everyone went to bed they'd be too tired to check and see if the placement of the doors was right. As before Quatre began to laugh evilly; he had that Zero look in his eyes. He stopped as to not catch anyone's attention. Quickly he ran down the hall, systematically swapping name cards from the doors. Real original Quatre. His plan wasn't unique, but it was one that always worked. 'Soon...' he thought 'Soon they will all be blissfully tired and they will all go to their rooms. Then.. then the true chaos will begin! MUAHAHAHAHAHAH! *ahem*'

It was eight o'clock when Quatre emerged from below. He peered out to see everyone serving themselves dinner and thanking Pagan. A renewed look of happiness fell on Quatre as he walked towards the five Gundam pilots and company. He knew in a few hours his lovely plan would go into affect and much chaos would ensue, but he was blissfully unaware as to how much chaos would really take place.
