Chapter Three: Rainy Days, Angry Girls, and Pure Chaos
A/N: CRY FO THE DREAM!!! *Giggles madly* Everyone pray for Anna-chan's and my tests! School no aku!! *Grabs Saitou from Anna-chan's Jungle of Bishies and lets him take care of it*
The rain had been pouring for two weeks and the small band of Gundam pilots had staid in the cabin, watching over their unconscious comrade. "Is this the Chinese Water Torture?" Duo asked as he slumped down on the chair in the library. This received a glare from Wufei. "What?" the American whined. "I'm bored!" "Go entertain yourself, Maxwell," Wufei growled as he picked a book off the shelf and sat by Anna. "Since when did you use glasses?" Duo demanded of the smaller teen. "When I read," the Chinese boy responded. "I just never read in front of you. Your presence makes it difficult to concentrate." Anna smiled. "It's been raining for a while now, ne? I heard parts of the island are flooding." Duo stood and stretched. "Anou. I'm off to bed. I'll see ya'll in the morning." He was stopped at the doorway of the library by a petite, emerald- eyed pilot. A very angry looking petite, emerald-eyed pilot. "Konban wa, Chase!" he greeted with his usual smirk. "Shi ne," she growled, swiping one gloved hand out at him, catching the collar of his shirt. His eyes widened. "Eh?!" "What are you doing, Chase-chan?" Anna asked from her seat on the couch. "Go take a look at our room," the smaller pilot hissed, venom in her voice as she glared at the man before her. He smirked and backed away, wrenching his shirt free of the emerald- eyed girl's grasp. Anna shrugged and stood, walking out of the room to inspect what Chase was so livid about. Chase advanced on the taller American. "Someone just give me something to hit him with," she growled. Wufei smirked and handed her a very large book - most likely some sort of dictionary with several languages in it - off one of the shelves. He smirked. Pay back was harsh. The petite pilot took the book gratefully. "It's not quite large enough, but it'll have to do," she mumbled, swinging it at the American pilot. "HEY!" Duo protested, tripping back and landing on the couch. He scrambled up and over the back of it, covering his head as he did so. "Yamate!" Anna demanded as she came back into the room, cool and calm as always. Chase turned her glare to her friend. "What do you mean 'stop'?! Did you not see it!?" Anna smirked. "Oh I saw it. I just want to be the one to kill him." She too lunged at him, and Duo squeaked as he ducked out to the way. Wufei chuckled. "Not that I'm complaining, because it's always fun to watch Maxwell get his butt kicked by a couple of shojos, demo, what did he do?" "It's pink," Anna mumbled, taking another swipe at her boyfriend. "It's hot pink!" Chase agreed, knocking the book into Duo's head. Wufei could barely keep his smile back. "Pink, eh?" he chuckled. "Good luck, Maxwell." Chase knocked the book against his head again. "You're gonna need it!" "Matte! Matte, Chase-san!" Quatre protested. "Please don't hurt him! We don't need another person hurt!" His pleads fell on deaf ears as Chase and Anna continued to chase after the braided man with a vengeance. A small smirk crossed Trowa's lips. "Couldn't you just offer to repaint it, Duo? That would save you all this trouble." Duo, now being held in a vice like grip by Chase around his neck and Anna tugging on his braid, looked over to the Silencer. "Hai! That's a good idea, Trowa! What do you say about it, girls? I'll repaint the room! Any colour you like! Just name it!" The girls looked at each other and smirked. Anna said purple the same time Chase said black and blue. They received funny looks from all around the room. "I've got it," Chase said with a shrug. "Paint it purple, black, and blue. That way any time you go back into our room with any intention of doing anything like that ever again, you'll know exactly what your face will look like." "That's disturbing how innocently you just managed to say that, Chase." Duo mumbled. The smile that was on the petite pilot's face did not disappear, but only seemed to become more innocent as it continued to linger. Duo shook his head and disappeared down the hallway.
A/N: This was Anna-chan's doing in the first edition. (This is a redo of something I did three or four years ago. Did I mention that all ready?) She wanted me to keep this in the redo. ^^ Two emerald orbs glanced up from the intriguing book as Anna rushed into the library. A grin was plastered across her pale features. "Pretend NOTHING is wrong," she hissed. Chase looked questioning for a moment, but said nothing as Duo came into the room, towel wrapped around his waste, hair down, and hair. Matte. His hair was as pink as their room had been two days before. The younger pilot struggled to keep her strait face. "Which one of you did this?!" he demanded. "Duo, onegai, boyo, put some pants on.." Chase begged as she shielded her eyes. He glared. "I want to know which one of you is responsible for this!" he growled out. "Responsible for what?" Anna asked as she sat on the couch next to Chase, her own book in hand. Duo tugged at his own hair. "THIS!" "What's the matter with it?" Chase asked innocently. "You really should braid it. You look a little to bishonenish for your own good." "MY HAIR IS PINK!" Duo roared. "What is the matter with you, Maxwell?! Shut up!" Wufei yelled from the other end of the hallway. He came storming into the room, stopped, looked at the girls, and then back to Duo. "What is your problem?" "The girls are being bi-" "Watch it, Maxwell," Chase hissed as she pulled on the slightly elder pilot's loose hair. "It's piiiiiiink.." Duo whined. "Payback is harsh," Chase whispered as she walked out of the room. Anna giggled as she followed, very pleased with herself.
Six Gundam pilots sat down at the table for dinner. As always, Quatre was the last to sit down simply because he had fixed everything with some help from Trowa. "I feel kinda bad that you're always the one fixing the meals, Quat," Anna said as she put some food on her plate. "It's really no problem at all," Quatre responded with a smile. "Anyway," Duo said as he stuffed a rice ball in his mouth, "Quatre's the only one here that can cook." "Hey!" Anna protested. "What about me?" "That's a laugh," Chase responded as she picked up her chopsticks. "We'd like to live to see the next battle. Now me on the other hand." "Yeah, I can see it now: The Gundam pilots die of food poisoning before the big battle." "I can cook better than you!" "Ha! Very funny." "Minna-san," Quatre said, smiling, "I'm sure you can both cook just fine. Don't fight over something trivial like that, ne?" "Why don't we make breakfast tomorrow, ne, Quat?" Anna asked with a smile. "Chase-chan and I can give you a break." Quatre sweatdropped. Braving battles was one thing, but this. "You really don't have to, Anna-san." "We insist!" Chase said with a smirk. "Anou. In that case. I suppose." What had he just gotten everyone into?
"Eat up!" Anna and Chase said together as they stood in aprons and served food. "You two look as if you could actually pass for house wives." Duo muttered. Chase whacked him on the head. "URESAI!" Duo shrugged and grinned, biting into the food. His face paled. "What. is this.? It's disgusting!" Quatre, Wufei, and Trowa watched as the girls pummeled him mercilessly. When they were finished, they shoved him out of the room. "Perhaps." Quatre managed, "I should cook lunch, ne?" The girls sighed heavily.
Chapter Four: Parting is such sweet sorrow
I really need to get in order when I plan to work on each fic.@_@ I've got soooo many going at once, and my manga on top of that! Confound it.. *stressed Chase-chan*
It was late in the morning, around eleven, when Chase happened to poke her head in on Heero Yuy's room, per usual. She was not greeted by the normal sight of the young teen lying still and quiet on the bed, but of him sitting up, deep blue eyes open, and looking at her. "Konichi wa," he greeted. Chase walked over, face not giving away of the countless emotions running through her heart. "Konichi wa," she replied as she threw her arms around him, embracing him. Heero was slightly startled by the younger pilot's reaction and hugged back uncertainly. "How long have I been asleep? Where are we?" "About a month, and we're at a cabin with the other pilots." "The other.?" he started, confusion in his eyes. "You mean the pilots that came up during the battle?" "Hai." Heero nodded, swung his feet over the edge of the bed, and stood up. He swayed a moment, but waved Chase off as she attempted to steady him. He shook his head slowly. "Daijoubu," he said quietly. "Ne? Chase-chan? Did you disappear into." Anna stopped as she saw Heero standing. "You're okay!" she squealed. She looked at her watch. "Good grief! Just in time for Christmas too! Duo and I are going to through a party, okay?" Chase sweatdropped slightly. "Anna-chan. He just woke up. We're going to get busy real fast, ne?" Anna pouted slightly. "You're no fun, Chase-chan," she complained, sticking her tongue out. The smaller girl frowned. "You've been around Duo too long." "Aa! Good to see you up finally, Heero!" she said with a wink, and disappeared down the hall.
Chase fell back into the pile of white snow. Heero leaned over her, giving her a questioning look. "I never snows back home," Chase explained. "I love snow." She looked up towards the now clear sky. It had snowed all day, leaving the ground covered in the white blanket of fluff, but now the stars shown brightly. "Tell me something, Heero? Is earth as beautiful from the stars as the stars are from earth?" Heero blinked. "I don't know. I've never taken the time to look," he confessed. Chase smiled up at him, an innocence shining in her eyes. She stood and jogged off down the path, motioning for the elder pilot to follow. The Japanese teen found her odd and complicated. She was unpredictable and a dangerous enemy hidden beneath an innocent and naïve mask that she wore well. He followed. Chase didn't stop her quick pace until she reached the small pond that she had discovered with in the first week of their arrival to the cabin. She peered over in, looking at the thin layer of ice. "Think it's solid?" "I'll laugh if you fall through," the elder teen deadpanned. Chase chuckled. "If I could get you to laugh, I would accomplish what all others fail," she said with a wink. "It's cold, Chase. Ikou za." The petite pilot stepped back onto the ice, boots sliding slightly against the smooth surface. "Come on." He blinked at her. "I'm not coming out there." "Scared?" "I'm not scared of anything, brat," he growled, stepping forward and onto the ice. He slid forward, nearly loosing his balance. Chase caught him with a grin on her pale features. She then slid back again, collected snow into a ball, and promptly through it strait at his face.. .and struck him in the nose with it. Heero growled something in Japanese and glared. "What was that for?" Chase grinned broadly and shrugged. "Nothing in particular. Never had a snow fight before?" Heero smirked slightly. "No, but I've been told I'm a fast learner."
Chase and Heero returned to the cabin laughing. (A/N: Anna-chan - the author - is scared of Heero's laugh! It's really quite funny^^. We both just got a Weiß Kreuz DVD where the same actor that does Heero Yuy's voice does Schuldig's voice and Schu laughs a bit. *giggles* Ever want to scare her, tape Heero laughing and stick the recording in her ear.. Yeah, that was random..) They stopped when were greeted by Anna and Duo jumping out and yelling "Merry Christmas!" They sweatdropped and looked at the decorating that had been done in the few hours they had been gone. "Anna." Chase groaned. "Well we skipped both of our birthdays, and I wasn't about to miss Christmas! Where would the fun be in that?" "Oh, and look up!" Duo added with a mischievous grin. They automatically looked up. Hanging above them was mistletoe. Chase blushed furiously, glaring at Anna. "What is it?" Heero asked, genuinely confused. "Anou. sore wa. anou.." Chase mumbled. "Mistletoe," Anna answered. "What's it for?" "If you get caught under it with someone, those two have to kiss!" Duo proclaimed excitedly. "I don't have time for this," Heero growled, stepping around Chase and heading out of sight. Chase, still a deep crimson colour, glared. "You two attempt to leave the matter alone, ne?"
Heero leaned back on the bottom bunk of the bunk beds that were now in his room that he had started sharing with Duo as soon as he had woken. Wufei had demanded the longhaired pilot move out as soon as the Japanese teen woke. "You should have at least kissed her, buddy," Duo said as he leaned against the doorframe. "Urasei." Duo frowned. "You should have." "What do you know of Chase? She's not interested." Duo blinked. "You don't know that." The smaller pilot looked at him, blinking his dark eyes. "What are you suggesting?" "That you go back and give it a shot." Heero stood, still frowning, and walked out of the room, leaving Duo Maxwell in the silence of his own thoughts.
He found Chase sitting in the library, absorbed in a book. He walked over and stopped by the side of the couch, waiting until she looked up. "Hai?" Heero motioned for her to stand, and she did so. He took a deep breath, cupped her chin with one hand, leaned in and kissed her. Chase's emerald orbs flew open wide. Two thoughts crossed her mind. One: slap him so it would be difficult to forget it, or two: kiss back. She opted for the second one as she allowed her eyes to close and she kissed back. When her eyes opened, she blushed. The blush deepened as she looked over his shoulder to see a blond girl standing with a single bag. "Atashi. Quatre-san let me in." Relena stammered. Chase pulled away from Heero, disappearing down the hallway toward her room without a word.
Relena came into Chase's room with only one knock as the warning. "Hello, Chase-san," she greeted. "You're packing." "Yes I am. You are very observant, Relena-san." "It's taken me a long time to track him down. Don't think I will let someone like you get in my way." Chase looked over her shoulder at the taller girl, her dark eyes narrowing. "You're not as innocent as you seem, Relena-san. You're spoiled and selfish. You have no since in that thick scull of yours and you're a brat on top of all that. You have no right to inherit what you will, but I have no right to stop you. I think your spineless and a waste of precious time, but that's not how everyone else will look at you, so my opinion doesn't matter. I'm tempted to stay just to spite you, but I don't want to have to look at your face that long. You're nothing more than a spoiled, hypocritical, brat that has some power to throw around and make everyone look her way." Relena stood wide-eyed. "C-chase-san! How could you." she whispered, tears forming in her eyes. Chase brushed past her, backpack bag slung over one shoulder. "If they ask, tell them I'll be back in time to get done what needs to be done."
A/N: These have been such short chapters! Gomen nasai!! I usually don't write these short of chapters. _ Anyway, the next is taken from Time and Time Again that Anna-chan and I are in the process of writing. Basically, Chase is traveling. Have fun! *goes off to find more tea*
