Disclaimer: If I owned this...Relena would have died in the first episode.
Grinning Reaper: Hihi! Did anyone expect me to ever update again? No? I didn't think that I was going to either. I think that this is another one of my stories that is headed to crapville. But heyyyy! That's okay! I like it and that's about all that matters.
Quatre: This is Duo's chapter!!
Duo: Whoo-hoo! I get to nail 'Fei again!
Wufei: You most certainly DO NOT! ::glower glower::
Grinning Reaper: Mayyybe, maybe not. ^,^
Chapter Eleven: The Beginning of the End in The Middle
"'Fei." I called softly, opening the door. I'd finally found him. Wufei. He was standing in the middle of Trowa's room, gazing out the window.
"It's getting closer." He murmurs. I step in to the neat and orderly room and stand close to him.
"What is?" I ask. His face is somber. Serious.
"The end." He replies simply. "Duo, you can't leave now, it's almost the end." His voice takes on a pleading tone now. Tears are welled up in his eyes.
"I'm not going anywhere." I tell him firmly, gripping his shoulders. The second I touch him I see things. A bathtub, blood. Trowa dead. A scream. Wufei's scream. Cold murderous blue eyes.
"Don't let it be the end." He whispers. I come back to the present. "It's a lie. The name's a lie don't believe it!" Tears are streaking down his face now. Black tears. They're the color of his eyes.
"What are you talking about!?!" This wasn't making any sense to me now. How could a name be a lie? Unless you're under a false one...
"Save me." He whispers. The black tears have changed to red. Blood red. "If you can't save me, save him."
My eyes snap open. I find myself staring at the ceiling of my room. A dream. A particularly weird dream too. Two ebon twin orbs suddenly obscure my vision. Wufei. His eyes are blurry with sleep. He's propped up on his elbow, staring down at me. He looks concerned.
"It was just a nightmare." I assure him, running my fingers through his hair and then cupping his cheek in my palm. "I'm fine." He doesn't look so sure, but believes me anyway. He stretches and lies back down beside me. "You sleep okay?" I ask. He nods vaguely and snuggles closer, obviously intending on returning to dream land. After he's drifted off for several moments, I unwrap myself from around him, get some clothes on, and go down stairs in search of food. As I come down the stairs, I hear a slight commotion. Before I enter the kitchen, Relena nearly barrels me over. Quatre is hot on her heels.
"Relena I really am sorry, I didn't mean to upset you. Can we talk this over?" Relena wipes her eyes and shakes her head.
"No Quatre that's okay. I think that I need time to think on my own." She replies, picking up her coat, leaving Quatre standing in the hallway. She opens the door and strides out. Quatre sighs and hangs his head.
"What was that all about?" I ask once everything quieted down. Quatre started slightly, surprised.
"Oh, Duo. I didn't see you there." He says, his hand resting over his heart. "It's just that I-we...and she-" I gave him a pat on the back.
"C'mon." I said, "Whatever it is let's talk about it over some tea eh?" Quatre perked up slightly at the mention of tea.
"Okay." He says nodding slightly. We go into the kitchen and I get the kettle going. Soon, we both have to big steamy cups.
"So." I prompt sitting at the table with him. "Talk." He swirls his cup around a bit, staring into the dark fluid, as if trying to predict the future.
"We weren't doing anything wrong." He blurts out before taking a sip of his tea. I tilt my head.
"You an' Heero?" I asked, taking one of the coconut cookies that I had set out and dunking it into my tea. Quatre looks surprised for a moment before responding.
"Mm-hm. We were just...kissing and we didn't see her come in and then she got upset. We weren't doing anything wrong." Quatre repeats.
"I know." I say offering him a cookie. He takes it and nibbles on it a bit and nods vaguely. Heero comes in, sees Quatre, sees me, and stares at us for a moment.
"Hn." He states. "She left then." He takes a cookie from the plate and eats it, wiping the crumbs from his mouth.
"Yeah. In a big huff like usual." I said trying to cheer Quatre up some. "She's Queen of the world, she isn't used to getting what she wants." I continue, nudging him in the ribs playfully. "It'll all blow over by the end of the week."
"Duo's right." Heero says sitting at the small table with us. He looks to Quatre, who has remained completely silent.
"Did you just say I'm right?" I ask, my eyes widening. Heero takes another cookie.
"Maybe." He says. I stare at him. A compliment from Heero in any way shape or form is like a shooting star, it's rare, and if you blink there's a good chance you'll miss it. Quatre smiles wanly.
"I guess you're right. I guess I am blowing this out of proportion." He says sipping at his tea.
"Of course I'm right." I say matter-of-factly. "She'll probably forget all about it and be back to bother us by noon tomorrow." I assure him. Still, something felt wrong. Maybe it really was the beginning of the end.
Grinning Reaper: WAHAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!!!
Wufei: What are you laughing for?
Grinning Reaper: The sheer joy of laughing of course!!
Trowa: That and she laughs when someone is about to die.
Wufei: ::gulp::
Duo: That was a really trippy dream I had.
Grinning Reaper: Aye. The result of me writing when I've taken Benadryl, and lots of it.
Heero: I had a small part. It'll be bigger in the next chapter right?
Grinning Reaper: Aye. And the next chapter is from the POV of..THE KILLER!! ::gasp:: You all shall never know who they are!! AHAHAHAHA!!!
Quatre: Oh dear. Does some one really have to be killed? How about we just have lunch instead?
Grinning Reaper: No dice Q-chan. This is an angsty story.
Sorrow: YES!! ANGST WITH THE ANGST MUSE!!! BUUUUUUUUUURRRRNN!!!
Duo: Heyyyy. I didn't get to nail Fei in this chapter.
Grinning Reaper: Yeah ya did. I just inferred at it!! Look at the part where you leave. It mentions you needing to put on clothes.
Wufei: KISAMA!!!
Grinning Reaper: Well, I'm off to spread misery...so...Ta!
