Chapter 5
"What do you mean it's in your spine?" Heero said getting dangerously low. Suiren straightened her back and drew in a deep breath. She looked him in the eye and stared blankly at his question.
"It means it's in my spine what else do you think it means?" She answered acknowledging his dumb comment. Heero grunted at his sister's smart ass remark.
"Easy, we scan you pin point the location of the mircro disk , make a small incision and retrieve it with a needle" Heero said going down the stairs to the underground labratory. The others followed as Suiren fought to catch up to him. He entered the lab room that was blindingly white and she caught his shoulder and turned him around.
"Listen to me! It's not that simple!" Heero stared at her.
"Listen, Suiren, I'm sure we have some knock out gas to make it painless" Quatre offered. Trowa searched her eyes for something more than the concern of pain. He was positive she was already used to some of the cruelest testings.
"What's the problem?" Trowa asked taking a few steps closer to her. Heero then averted his attention to Barton and made a low growl. Trowa glanced over his shoulder giving him a look of reassurance.
"I have to be awake through the procedure. No matter how much you scan me you can't find it. It will only show itself if I will it to. It's almost apart of me...it just does what I command. I have to be awake and will it to show itself. When I will it to, a mark should appear on my back, you'll have to insert it directly on the dot that appears. I just want it out and I'm sure you do too so let's get this over with." Suiren said lifting her shirt up to her chest. She laid with on her stomach on the lab table while the others looked at eachother for another way.
"Are you sure you want to do this? It's going to be a painful procedure" Trowa asked.
"It's the only way to get the disk. Just do it Heero!" Heero grabbed a siringe and took it out of it's packaging. Relena turned her head from the sight and instead leaned on Quatre for support. Wufei stood in the shadows of the corner and watched silently. Duo handed Heero a small petry dish to place the liquid holding the disk. Trowa stood besides the lab table as he watched Suiren's eyes fill up with fear that it almost overflowed through her lashes in her tears. Heero looked at his little sister for her last consent. Suiren nodded and closed her eyes. A tear slipped out as he waited for the sign. Suiren willed it and a small red star appeared on her lower back with a white dot in the center. Heero immediately peirced the dot with the siringe and drew the knob back. Suiren screamed in pain as she felt the needle penetrate into the muscles and into her spinal chord. Trowa held her hand firmly. She squeezed his hand cutting off his circulation. Heero finished and pulled the needle out of her body. Suiren's hand went limp in Trowa's slender fingers. Heero handed the shot and the petry dish to Duo who then took it to the scanning room with Wufei.
"Suiren?" Suiren didn't answer. Her pupils were dialated and glazed over.
"Is she okay?" Relena asked in concern. Trowa answered, "She's in shock. She'll come around." With that said Heero pushed back some of Suiren's hair and lifted her into his arms.
"I FOUND IT!" Duo screamed as he came out of the scanning lab. He held a small vile the size of a pencap. "I put the disk in some sustinance fluid. I think that should do about right. Oh~shit what happened to her?" Duo said grabbing a blanket and drapping it over her body. Heero walked up the stairs choosing to ignore Duo's comment. Relena followed after him opening the garage door for him. He walked to one of the black cars and sat himself in the back with his sister's small frame leaning against his. Trowa opened the door to the drivers seat and Relena entered on the other side. Trowa then popped the trunk open allowing Wufei to place some necessaties in the back. He then shut the door and waited for Wufei and the others to load their car up and then to leave. Trowa jumped lightly when he heard his cell phone go off.
"Hey Trowa buddy! It's Duo and everything here is a-ok so if you wanna go some time soon let's get on a roll!" Duo said then terminating the call. Trowa started the engine and pulled out heading towards the next town. He looked back at Suiren using the rear view mirror. Heero caught on and stared right back at him boring wholes in the back of Trowa's head. Two hours had passed since they began driving and they were now hundreds of miles away from the Peacecraft mansion. The two cars kept a constant rate driving. By this time Relena had fallen asleep and Heero continued to stare at the other respectable silent pilot.
"Am I bothering you Heero?" Trowa asked bluntly. Heero looked down at his little sister and pulled the blanket up to her chin and pushed back stray hairs.
"Yes you are. You keep staring back at my sister and why is that?" Heero said staring at Trowa. He stayed silent and then answered quickly.
"I have interest in her."
"That may result in your death Barton. I just got her back and I'm not just about ready to let her go to you yet." Heero stated.
"Does that mean in time you'll let her be mine?" Heero raised an eye brow at his comment and shot back.
"What makes you so certain she wants you too?"
"I'm not certain but I'm willing to find out. I'll take the chances Yuy." He said looking back at him.
"If she loves you I'll except you two as an item and if not, I'll cut your throat for trying to make a move on her." Trowa looked away to the road ahead. The agonizing silence was interupted when Duo called Trowa again.
"What?" Trowa asked.
"Hey to you too buddy! Well my cabin house is coming up soon so just follow us ok?" Duo asked.
"I copy that."Trowa terminated the call tossing the phone on the dashboard. The clatter awoke Relena. She opened her eyes and rubbed them yawning as she did so.
"Well Trowa, you seem like your in a good mood. What did I miss?" she asked as she turned her head to the back of the car looking Heero straight in the face. Heero turned his attention to the window watching the rain drops streak the glass. Relena sighed and sat foward again. The car turned onto a dirt road branching from the highway. They drove down about a mile and a half where they turned again. Trowa slowly brought the car to a stop as Duo's car in front did. Trowa and Relena stepped out of the car as Duo came out of his and came to open the door for Heero. Heero swung open the door hitting Duo in the process. He carried his sister to the front of the cabin without a word.
"Woa, what's with Mr. Moody? I was being polite and I get smacked for it?" Duo said closing the door.
"He's just over protective about his sister." Trowa stated cooly.
"Oh, so you have something for her aye? I knew it. Haha" Duo laughed. Trowa rolled his eyes and headed to the front of the cabin.
"Duo, how many rooms do you have?" Heero asked while turning to face him.
"Um...I think about four?" Duo said scratching his head.
"Okay so Trowa and Duo get a room, Wufei with Quatre, Relena you can have your own room, I'll share one with my sister." Heero said randomly choosing a room close by. He kicked open the door and set his sister down on the sterile and unused bed sheets. Suiren awoke from her state and inhaled deeply of the air around her. Heero quickly slid his arm around her back helping her sit up. Suiren gaged at the stale scent of bed sheets and old wood. She choked coughing and wheezing as she desperately tried to calm her senses. Heero patted her back lightly. Relena quickly came in carrying a glass of water. She tipped the cup to her lips and let her drink until only a thin film of water remained at the bottom.
"Where are we?" Suiren asked wiping her mouth of the extra moisture.
"Somewhere safe. We'll all talk in the morning." Heero said eyeing the rest of the gang in a manner that assured them it was time to leave. All of them left silently leaving Suiren in her disoriented state. Heero turned her back to her spreading a blanket on the floor. She watched her older brother lay on the blanket and close his eyes. Suiren stood up and crept over to the window looking out through the dusty glass. She pressed her against it as her eyes traced the outline of the moon. A tear slipped out of the corner of her eye. She wiped it quickly and went back to her bed.
Suiren fell asleep not knowing that someone was standing outside her door...waiting for her.
