Falling In Love With Yourself
Chapter 5: Just Missed Em'
Haruka, Michiru, and Duo stepped off the plane and scanned the crowd at the airport. It was big. Lots of people waiting for more people; it was sort of silly when you thought about it.
Duo watched as tons of people passed by. They walked through a crowd of unknown faces. No one looked him twice. Or should I say her, he muttered to himself. She was invisible to them, like a shadow. If he'd been walking by her (that is if he had his body back and passed her) he'd have never seen her. And she was beautiful.
'Maybe she works at not being seen. I just don't understand why she'd want to hide though? I mean I know about the whole scout and past thing, thanks to Ruka, but it's all over. Peace is here and she doesn't need to hide. Why are you a shadow Taru?'
***************************************************************************
Hotaru, Heero, Quatra, and Wufei walked along down the hallway, trying to be unseen. It wasn't hard for Taru, she'd had practice. So had Duo, she realized, feeling his body move fluidly, like her own. Oh how she missed her body!
Yet she'd gotten used to this one.. every nuke and cranny, which had Hotaru blushing.
As they walked towards the unknown source of Heero's unease, Hotaru felt more happy and excited then she'd ever been. Like something was about to happen.
"Are you alright, Ru?" Wufei asked glancing over at. He'd seen her grin and blush, which looked normal on Duo's face.. But it was still strange for Hotaru to do both...
"Hai. I just feel, like something important is gonna happen."
"Hm." Heero glanced quickly at her, and then went back to looking straight ahead. It was just him..
**************************************************************************** *
People walking by didn't see anything out of the ordinary. Just a bunch of strangers passing by. Nothing special.
A braided boy passed by a young Japanese girl. The brushed shoulders because they passed so close. Nobody noticed anything weird. But a shiver ran down both their spines. Though neither turned nor look back at the other, as they walked on they're way.
"Hey watch it." Ruka growled as she bumped into Wufei.
"Watch it yourself." He hissed back and the two hurried away from one another.
"Excuse me." Quatra smiled politely as he bumped into Michi.
She smiled sweetly and nodded.
Heero watched the three women pass. Yet they seemed normal. But something wasn't right.
**************************************************************************** ****
As the sun was warm, Duo noted as he stepped outside the airport. Inside he'd felt cold, and nervous. Almost like he was on the edge of something. But he'd stepped back.
"What if I'd looked up?" He said softly.
"Nani?" Ruka asked.
"I don't know." Duo said. "I just got that thought in my head. What if I'd looked up? Up at what? I was looking up!"
"Maybe that braided boy you passed." Ruka muttered.
"Braided boy?" Duo asked in surprise.
"Ya you bumped into him, neither of you looked up at each other, just kept walking." Haruka walked over to their rented car and swung herself into the drivers seat. "My bike'll be here soon, we ought to head over to track to make sure it gets there."
Duo didn't hear her.. he had started running back towards the airport.
"What's that all about?" Michi asked, coming towards Ruka with their bags.
"No idea."
**************************************************************************** ****
"What if I'd looked up?" Hotaru mumbled.
"Looked up?" Quatra asked. They'd made it to the port, but Heero's bad feelings had faded. It was weird. One minute.
"I don't understand it." Hotaru said softly, "I just thought it."
"Hm. well, we should get home. Don't worry about it."
"Hai." Taru murmured. She followed the three men as they head for the exit. Yet something was telling her to turn back. There was another exit, maybe they should go to that one.
But the car was closer to this one.
"There was a girl." Heero started. "With black hair. She was Japanese, just from what I know of my culture. She was with two others, a tomboy blonde and an aqua haired girl. They walked passed us. My strange feeling went away after we passed them."
Hotaru stopped. "I have to go back."
"What for?" Wufei asked with a grunt. "I need to get back and practice."
"I know. You can go without me, I know the way. But I just need to go back. I think, I think, I know them."
She turned and started running back towards the other exit.
**************************************************************************
Duo ran. Hotaru ran.
And it seemed like forever but without either knowing what was going on, they were drawn towards one another. In the middle of the airport, people looking about them would have seen two teens running, not looking where they were going, and running smack dab into one another.
Blackness consumed them both.
