Akiko jogged slowly with Kaiya's weight on her back, slowing the girl down. Hotaru and she had split up, Hotaru taking a slower route since she could run faster at the point. Hotaru thought it would be better if they went into two separate directions, because if the ex-Gundam pilots managed to recover quickly, then they'd have to split up. And both girls knew the boys worked better as a team, their Gundam piloting skills proved that.

Akiko grunted, this was going to take a while. Though Hotaru had taken a hallway which would get her there twice as long, she would probably get their before Akiko. "Damn it Kaiya, when you wake up, remind me to be pissed off at you." She muttered.

~*^*^*~

Hotaru ran quickly, practically skipping through the halls. The plan was for one of them to start the car, the other would arrive, and they would get the hell out of here.

It was messed up, but it was the best chance they had of escaping. A door opened to her left and she was tackled to the wall. Struggling from the grip proved useless, yet again.

'Why is everyone so strong here?' Hotaru wondered.

"Sorry, but I can't let you leave at the moment." They voice said.

'Female?' Hotaru thought as she opened her eyes. The woman had pinned her to the wall with her knee, and her two hands held her shoulders. 'Blonde hair in pigtails, this must be Sally Po.'

Sally let go of one of Hotaru's shoulders and took out handcuffs with the other. "You're coming with me," She said.

Hotaru frowned and grabbed a small pocket knife, holding it to Sally's neck. "Sorry Sally, I don't have time for this!" She muttered.

Hotaru pulled the knife back and sliced Sally all the way across her arm, and she let out a small cry of pain, letting Hotaru go. "Sorry, but you left me no choice."

With that Hotaru ran off.

~*^*^*~

Akiko's muscles pleaded with her to stop, the weight of Kaiya and her constant running wearing her down.

"Kaiya, it'd do us both a favor if you'd wake up!" Akiko shouted.

And much to her relief and astonishment, Kaiya did just that. (Author's Note: What, I can't have her sleep through everything now can I?)

Kaiya's eyes scrunched and she groaned loudly, causing Akiko to stop dead in her tracks. "Ahh, Kaiya!" Akiko screeched as she stopped and put the girl down. "Kaiya! Kaiya! Come one Kaiya open your freaking eyes!"

Kaiya moaned again and turned over on her stomach, opened her eyes slowly, and rising her head. "W-what?" She stammered, her teal eyes darting every which way, evidently confused upon her whereabouts.

And before she could utter another breath, Akiko tackled her with a giant hug. "Damn it Kaiya, I would normally be really pissed off after this stunt you pulled but I'm too damn happy that you're okay right now, so I'll be really pissed off at you later!"

"Akiko . . . what? Where?" Kaiya asked. "I can scarcely breathe, would you mind letting me go?"

Akiko giggled and did as she was told. "Heh, sorry?"

"Where are we?" She asked again.

Akiko sighed and explained everything from the beginning. "And that's how we got here, coming to save you ol' buddy!" Akiko concluded.

Kaiya said nothing, lost in thought. "Are they . . . is everyone . . .?" She finally asked.

"No worries, a few scars, batters and bruises here and there, but other than that, everyone's fine."

Kaiya just nodded and watched as Akiko stood. "Then let's get out of here," Akiko said. She held a hand out to her friend. "I'm in no mood to be captured after all this work, though a nap might be nice . . ."

Kaiya smiled and stood as well. Finally, they both took off running.

~*^*^*~

Hotaru stopped to take a breath. "Okay, maybe this was a bad idea."

She leaned against the wall for a few seconds, shutting her eyes and taking gulps of air. 'I am so tired,' She moaned. Her wound where Akiko had shot her earlier was beginning to sting with sweat.

She unenthusiastically pushed herself off the wall and continued in slower steps to walk across the hall, her hand pressed against the wall, using it as balance.

A door opened to her left and Heero stepped out. "Okay, are you some kind of clone?" Hotaru muttered as she got into a small fighting stance, tense and ready for an attack.

"No, living and working here makes me familiar with the floor plan." He stated.

Hotaru grumbled and charged at him with a rather weak punch, in her other hand she held her pocket knife still stained with blood. He dodged it, and punched her in the abdomen, and Hotaru dropped her knife to hold her stomach.

Heero sidestepped behind her and his arm held her wrists behind her back, and the other arm held her neck so her head was next to his.

"Who are you and why are you here?" He questioned, not completely irritated, though not completely in high spirits either.

Hotaru saw him through the corner of her eye and didn't answer. Instead she just clenched her teeth together, ignoring the question. He asked her again, tightening his grip until she was gasping for breath. So this time Hotaru brought her right leg up and it him Heero in the face, causing him to loosen his grip, just slightly, so that he held her firmly in place only.

His nose was bleeding but he just disregarded it.

Heero grabbed a small cloth from his pocket, dosed with chloroform and brought it to her mouth and nose. Hotaru struggled a bit, trying not to inhale the toxins. But she couldn't hold her breath in forever, and her lungs were crying for their life supply of oxygen.

Soon, she grew still, sleep seeping into her.

~*^*^*~

"So are these guys as strong as they seem to be?" Kaiya asked.

"Well, depends. You almost killed Yuy and Maxwell." Akiko replied. Kaiya raised an eyebrow, silently asked the question everyone had been wondering; how? "Adrenaline mixed with PMS and hatred don't mix well I guess." Akiko joked.

Kaiya just smiled. 'Guess not,' She thought.
