Double Take Another Gundam?

Chapter 4

Disclaimer: don't own it, just writing about it.

N/A: (I HAVE REDONE CHAPTER 4) ok, ok I know, its been a while since my last chapter and some people have been hassling me to write the next chapter. (You know who you are ^_~) well F.Y.I I kinda, sorta, uninstalled word so I had to wait until I came to my dad's, so there. Anyway I am writing this chapter in the loving memory of Lala, my friend Cresee's dead cow, who's life was prematurely snuffed out by a barbarian who decided that her head should be ripped off. So finally here is chapter 4, dedicated to Cresee and the late Lala.

Duo waited patiently outside the library, waiting for Morrigan. He looked at his watch, it was 2:59pm. *And she tells me not to be late* Duo thought to himself. As he looked at a poster for the upcoming school dance. Just then he saw a figure walking across the street, toward the library, it was Morrigan. She walked up to him and stared for a moment. "Wow! You're right on time," he said looking at his watch. Morrigan ignored him and walked inside, not even looking back to see if Duo was following. Which he was. She sat down at a table and took out a note book, pencil, and pen. Duo sat beside her and they say in an awkward silence for the next few minutes until a cheery young girl broke the silence. "Oh my god!!! Hi Duo!" she exclaimed. Duo just smiled and said, "hey" "So who are you going to the dance with? You are going right! Because it would be like such a shame if Duo the great party animal was like not there. So are you going? And who are you going with?" She said not even acknowledging Morrigan. "Well I might go-" "Who ARE you going with!?" said the perky girl not even letting him finish. "Well as I was saying," Duo cleared his throat, and Morrigan looked up. "WE were planning to go to the dance, right, Morrigan?" he gave he a pleading looked, that she obviously understood. "Yes, we were planning to go, and we would very much appreciate it if you would go away, because we are in the middle of something that is far more important then some silly little dance." Said Morrigan quite rudely. Both Duo and the other girl looked at her wide-eyed, and Morrigan just returned to what she was doing. "Well, there's like no account for taste, but Duo always did like go on PITY dates" said little miss perky, very proudly, glaring at Morrigan. There was another silence that was broken by Morrigan. "Well then. I guess you've been on LIKE a hundred dates with him" she said sarcastically, not even looking up at the girl, but she could hear her turn and stomp away, not being able to come up with another come-back.
Duo was still scratching his head after ten minutes had past, all the while thinking *would she really go to the dance with me? Hmmm.* but his thoughts were interrupted when a big book slammed down in front of him. "What the hell!!!" he shouted forgetting he was in a library, and being shushed by the librarian. "Read this and take notes, this seems like a good resource for the project, and it shouldn't take you too long." Said Morrigan sitting down in front of him and reading another book that was just as thick as his. Duo just stared at the book in amazement until he noticed that Morrigan was glaring at him. So he began reading.
Two hours had past and Morrigan and Duo were still reading. She hadn't spoken to him since they had begun reading, but he would always look up at her, only to be met by piercing blur eyes glaring back, then he would start reading again.
After another half-hour had gone by and frankly Duo couldn't take it anymore. He being the type of person who couldn't sit still for very long, had, had about all he could take. So he stood up and walked around the table to where Morrigan was sitting. "I've had enough of books, lets go for a walk, I wanna show you something." He said with the biggest smile on his face. Morrigan's face tensed, and she slammed her book shut. Duo thought that she might slap him, but all she did was get up and walk towards the door. He followed, and caught up to her outside the library. "I'll take that as a yes, well follow me" he said as he grabbed her by the hand and began walking quickly. They walked to an open field and stopped. It was a simple farm, Morrigan thought, but she also thought it was quite beautiful too. It was a wide-open field, with lush green grass, there were small hills in the distance and a small farmhouse to the left. It looked rundown, and unused. To her right there was a small forest, with many tall trees, whose leaves were turning from green to shades of golden yellow, bright orange, and deep red. "Is this what you wanted to show me?" she asked while looking up at the sky, which was a shade of bluish-grey. "Are you kidding? No way. We only stopped cause I'm tired." He answered laughing. Morrigan felt like laughing, but she kept herself from doing so, she was about to when something pushed her to the ground. Duo's laughter quickly changed to concern as he went to down to see if she was okay. "Are you alright?" "I'm fine." She snapped, as she whirled around to see what had pushed her. Her eyes met with ones that were big and deep brown. They stared at each other until, "Mooooooooo" the cow said as it backed away from her. "Oh, don't mind her, she was just playing." Said Duo as he guided the cow away from Morrigan. "This is Lala, she belongs to the farmer down the road, it looks like she escaped again. Oh well there's not much we can do, she won't move, and I would know, since last time I tried to get her back to her farm she head- butted me, so I won't go trying that again." Duo laughed again, and this time Morrigan let out a faint laugh as well, but she quickly realised and stopped. Duo just looked at her with surprise but didn't pursue the matter. "Okay, break's over this way" he said pointing toward the forest. Morrigan followed, and found herself in a place full of colour, from bright yellow, to brown. It was amazing, she thought. They soon came to a cliff, on which stood a tall tree. Duo sat down leaning against the tree and motioned for Morrigan to do the same. They sat there in yet another silence just looking at the view. "Isn't it great? It's my favourite place to go. You can see the whole city from here and no one can bother you." Said Duo admiring the view. Indeed it was a wonderful view, Morrigan thought as she looked out over the city. She could see the coastline, the houses, and the mobile suit warehouse. This thought sent a chill up her spine, and she shivered. Duo felt her shiver and removed his jacket. "Yeah, it does get a little chilly up here, but put this on it's pretty warm," he said as he handed it to her. Not really thinking about what was going on she took the jacket and put it around herself. "Thank you" she said in a distant voice.
They sat in silence, watching as the sun slowly dipped beneath the horizon, the sky, slowly turning from light blue, to orange, to a dark blue tinged with purple. The stars were starting to come out and they gazed at them. The sky reminded Duo of Morrigan's eyes, and he turned to look at her, only to find that she was doing the same. They stared into each other's eyes, until Duo broke the silence. "Uh. Morrigan?" he said shakily "Huh? Yes?" she said coming out of her trance-like stare. "You know what you said earlier? To that girl." "What did I say?" "You said that we were going to the dance. Did you mean that?" "Um. I don't know, did you mean it when you said we were going together, or did you just say it to get rid of that valley girl, Brittany Spears wannabe?" she said with a bit of accusation in her voice. Duo just leaned closer to her, surprised that she let him, he felt a sudden impulse and kissed her. At first Morrigan was wide-eyed with shock at Duo's sudden move, but slowly relaxed and let him continue. "What do you think?" said Duo as he lifted his face from her's. "Will you go with me?" Morrigan took a moment to think then let out a quiet "yes."

Morrigan opened the door of her apartment to see HE was waiting for her. She saw his short blond hair, from behind the couch, and knew he would question her about her time with Duo. For some reason she really did not want to talk to him, *please let him be asleep* she thought as she slowly, and quietly crept by the couch to her room, but as she was passing the couch, and hand grabbed her wrist, tightly. "Sneaking in after curfew, tsk tsk, what would your mother think?" he said mockingly as he jumped over the couch and stood in front of her. "She wouldn't care, considering she's dead." She said coolly, avoiding his gaze. "And what business do you have Jason, giving me a curfew." He just put his arm around her waist and pulled her close. "If it wasn't for me you would be dead like her right now, since it was me that saved you from that exploding colony." He sneered "Yes you did save me, but wasn't it you who destroyed the colony in the first place?" "That is unimportant." He said ignoring the comment "anyway I hear there is a dance coming up." "And you want me to go with Duo right? Well for your information he already asked me and I said yes. You see I'm always one step ahead of you." She said proudly Jason just pulled her in closer and said, "and who do you think arranged for that airhead Francesca (A/N: this is just a note to Li-Li who so doesn't deserve the advertisement, but anyway I thought airhead and your name came up. Muhahaha and your right I am evil. But read her story people, it's not that awful. lol) to just happen to go by and ask about the dance?" he said and before Morrigan could speak his lips were on hers, almost suffocating her. When he finally stopped Morrigan turned and walked to her room and shut the door.
In her room Morrigan took out the picture of the little girl and her father, and stared at it. She could feel tears going down her cheeks, but did not bother to wipe them away. They were oblivious to her, foreign. She didn't even know why she was crying. Was it because of Jason, the photo, or was it Duo, she didn't know, nor did she care. All she could think about was what Jason had said.

***{FLASHBACK}***

Morrigan could hear screams coming from the room that she had shared with two other roommates. She could feel the strong hands of her captor pulling her along. He was maybe two years older then her, she thought, as she looked at his blond hair, strong features and blue eyes, although he was quite young he was strong for his age, and showed it by being able to evade every attempt she made to escape him.

They finally made it to his mobile suit and threw her in, he held a gun to her head and threatened to kill her if she moved, so she was still. He had left for a moment and returned with a detonator in his hand. He got inside and they took off into the air.

Morrigan looked at this boy and saw him press the detonator, there was a loud bang and Morrigan saw the home that she had just lived go up in flames. "Just a warning to you, try to escape and that will be your fate," said the young boy as they went into space. Morrigan watched ion horror as the mobile suit pointed its laser canon at the colony, and in a matter of seconds it was gone, along with the people inside.
Years passed and the boy, who she came to know as Jason, taught her to be merciless, and without emotion. She had often asked him why he had saved her, and one day he replied by saying, "I thought that you might want to have revenge on the killers of your family, and I would also want to see and end to their murderous ways."

***{END OF FLASHBACK}***

It had been almost five years since they had met, and Morrigan always wished she had been left on the colony to die, that is until Jason had told her he had found he family's murderers. It was the gundam pilots, and she swore to have revenge.

The night of the dance came and Morrigan was dressed divinely. She wore a blue dress that matched her eyes and went just above her knees, it had silver traps, that went with her shoes, which were strappy shoes, about and inch high, and her hair was done up in a bun and had pieces of hair dangling at her face. Jason had commented on how sexy she looked, but she had only one thing on her mind. Duo.
She met Duo at the front of the school and they walked in together. Inside was like a world of sparkly things; there was sequence, streamers and sparkles everywhere. Morrigan looked at Duo who wore a tuxedo, which Morrigan thought he looked handsome in, but she kept herself from starring.

They walked into the dance hall and watched the other couples dancing. After about a half-hour a slow song came on. Morrigan felt a tug at her arm and turned to see Duo's cobalt blue eyes starring at her expectantly. She nodded and he pulled her onto the dance floor.
She could feel his hands slide down her side and stop at her waist, they were warm to the touch, and maybe even a bit sweaty. *He's nervous* she thought as she placed her arms around his neck, and they began to move to the beat of the music.
Time seemed to stop, as she gazed into his eyes. They were warm and inviting, unlike the ice-cold stare she was used to. She danced and danced, then finally the song was over. They took a seat and watch the other couples dancing. Morrigan's eyes swept over the whole room until she saw what she was looking for. Heero. He was dancing with a young girl the same age as him. She had sea green eyes and long honey coloured hair. She wore a blue dress ad seamed to be enjoying herself, though the expression on Heero's face was of bewilderment. "Who's that girl dancing with Heero?" she asked Duo, who was stuffing his face with food. "Oh, you mean Relena. Their pretty close though Heero won't admit it" said Duo as he chuckled to himself. "Will you excuse me for a while. I have to go to the bathroom." Said Morrigan as she got up and headed in Heero and Relena's direction, but she half way to them she was stopped by a young man with blond hair and blue eyes. He glared at her and pointed to the door to the hall. Morrigan headed that way not noticing the airheaded girl walking up to Duo.
In the hallway Jason spun Morrigan around and pinned her against the wall. his face was red with rage. "I saw you dancing with that, that, gundam pilot" he spat "you seemed very close, to close for my liking!!!" "I was only doing what I have to do, in order to get information, and besides-" "Besides nothing!!! You are mine!!! And don't you forget that" he said as he sneered and leaned closer to her. He pressed his lips on hers, and no matter how she struggled he held her there.
She could feel him kissing her. It was like poison, slowly killer her. But why? This wasn't the first time he had cornered her like this, why was she so disgusted this time. Could it be that she might actually have feelings for Duo. No that couldn't be. Her thoughts were interrupted when she felt Jason move his head, he had kissed her for well over a minute and she had lost herself in thought. She realised he was whispering something in her ear, but she only caught the last part of it, and those words, she would remember for the days to come. "I will destroy you, starting with tonight." He swiftly left and she turned to see Duo standing at the doorway watching her, hatred, and betrayal in his eyes. Beside him was the girl from the library, with her snake arms around him, looking at her with triumph. Jason was right, he would destroy her, starting with tonight.

A/N: oh and the plot thickens, poor Morrigan. Now Duo hates her, and evil Francesca is digging her claws into him. What will happen next. Hmmm. *looks into crystal ball* I see, I see, I see, no, no, no I not telling you. Muhahahaha. Oh and before I forget what does KAWAII mean I keep seeing it and I don't know what it means, and it's just been bothering me. Oh and the real Francesca is like the character. No way. Lol. Byez for now and I hope you enjoyed this 4 and a half page chapter. What can I say, I was inspired. Lol
