*Important!* I was checking over some of my chapters and realized that chapters: 4, 6, 7, and 8 were really messed. (meaning that half of the chapter was missing). That's why all the chapters seemed really short! I'm really sorry about that; ff.net might have been screwy those days I uploaded. So if you don't mind, it would be cool if you could re-read those chapters, that way, the story would make more sense.
I'll keep checking them, to see if the they got fixed. Again I'm sorry about this!
A/N: I AM alive! No need to panic! Well I just gotta say that I'm pretty upset with myself that I haven't written in this long. *feels ashamed*. But fear not! I am totally determined to complete this thing! And I will! (I feel like such a loser right now) I'll be surprised if anyone even reads this anymore! But if anyone does, thank you SO much for putting up with my…well with me.
*Claimers*: Well I don't own too much expect for myself, and the idea. If anyone else out there has a similar idea sorry! But I really came up with this on my own.
*Disclaimers*: I don't own Michelle and Alexa (for they are real people, my friends, that I'm just throwing into this story 'cause they're so cool! I also don't own Gundam Wing and other corporate labels I might mention later in the story. Don't sue me! I'm innocent! Innocent I tell you!
maiden_of_flames666: yea…the chapters are short at times but you know…it depends where I think is a good spot to end it. But I'll try to make them longer…and to update faster…*sweatdrop*
ybewd: Thank you…and I'll try.
Aya Yuy P.SII: *grins* thanks!
Cactuskitty: glad you like it and I'll try.
Yume Keki: yes it does *grins*
// Blah // - means thoughts.
LAST TIME on "Where we belong" :
"Hey…I think this prison box is some sort of colony, I heard that manager of the condo mention it. Also this mall is called the 'L4 mega mall', so maybe it's L4 colony? I don't know…just an idea." Lex suggested.
"Yea, you're prolly right Lex. Do you guys wanna look around this place? Like go for a ride or walk around. I mean there's still plenty of time till our stuff gets delivered." Mich said.
"Sure"
Where we belong:
Chapter 9: you again
The door shut close and the car sped off, leaving a trail of dust behind.
"W-what?! Where the hell are you going?!" Duo frantically waved his fist and chased a few meters after the car that was already out of view.
"Ah crap, this is just great! Now what am I supposed to do??" Duo shoved his hands in his pant pockets and began walking in the direction of the city, kicking a few rocks that lay in his path.
"Duo do this, Duo go there, Duo 'omae o korosu', blah blah blah! That guy can be a real JERK most of the time." He glared in the direction the car had gone in.
*~*~*~*~*~*
After the girls had finished eating, they abandoned the mall and went for a walk to familiarize themselves with the area.
"I feel kinda strange not being able to see the sky and all. I mean I don't even know if it's day or night! How can these people stand it?" Lex questioned while looking around.
They were walking on a quiet little street past small shops and booths lined along the road.
"Dunno Lex. I'm surprised they haven't gone crazy yet" Kat said.
They all chuckled but kept on walking and taking in everything around them.
Time passed and the three friends were happily chatting about random things.
"What?! That is NOT true!" Mich said in defense, her face turning a light shade of pink.
"Oh please, don't even try and deny it." Kat grinned.
"We all saw you!" Lex said.
"Not tru— nee!" Mich had accidentally walked into someone and stumbled a bit.
"Sorry!" Mich apologized.
"Nah, don't worry 'bout it" Said the guy.
They pushed the incident aside and the girls kept moving.
"Hey!" They heard someone calling after them.
"Hey you! You dirty little thief!" The voice called again.
The girls froze and slowly spun around and were shocked to be face with a raging Duo just a few meters away.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Duo had been walking for a good half hour, not really going anywhere in particular. He thought it would be useless to search for anyone while on foot so he had decided to walk over to the more lively part of the colony to call for a taxi to take him back to the mansion.
While walking and being caught up in his thoughts, he suddenly walked into someone without realizing and heard the girl apologize. He glanced at her and said it was alright and continued walking when he suddenly stopped and reality smacked him. He spun around and saw *them*. The three girls who caused all the trouble back at Quatre's house early that morning. He would never forget them or even their voices.
His blood began to boil as he was reminded of all the havoc they had caused, especially by stealing *his* precious scythe.
He decided he wouldn't let this opportunity pass him by so he took the chance of hopefully beating them down and claiming victory. So he called after them to get their attention. And boy, did he get it alright.
He took a step towards them, but they took five steps back instead. They were carefully watching him, trying to predict what he would do.
"Look…" He began, running his hand through his hair. "I'm not gonna hurt you. I just…want my scythe back. That's all. You can keep the rest of the stuff for all I care! But the scythe...please?" //Oh Heero you asshole, you're getting exactly what you deserve for kicking me out of the car!//
"No way!" Mich screamed. "That scythe belongs to *me*! Fare and square! Losers weepers, finders keepers!" *mleh* Mich stuck her tongue out at him.
Duo's left eye twitched, "Why you little punk! You better prepare for some serious ass-whooping!" and thus he took charge.
"RUN!" Lex yelled, and the three of them took off with Duo hot on their tail.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
"Heero, don't you think that was just a little bit harsh? To kick Duo out of the car and just leave him there?" Quatre asked.
"He'll be fine. He knows his way home." Came the monotone reply.
"Maxwell got what he deserved. Next time he'll know not to open his big blabbing mouth." Wufei crossed his arms and stuck his nose in the air.
"I hope he doesn't get in too much trouble while he's on his own…" Quatre relaxed against the seat and looked out the window as the scenery passed him by in a blur.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The 4 companions, minus one at the moment, were driving on random streets that were considered the busiest on the colony, in hopes of spotting anything. Nothing interesting was really happening while they were searching. A few conversations were brought up, but they were left short and didn't last too long.
"Heero…is that what I think it is, or am I just delusional?" Quatre poked his head in the space between the two front seats.
Heero's eyes shifter a little to see anything out of the ordinary amongst the crowds of people walking along the sidewalk, when he saw it. There was Duo, who was a dead giveaway with his black garments and long braid running like a crazed lunatic down the streets.
Heero let out an uncomfortable grunt and looked over at Trowa who was watching as well.
"Should we…stop him?" Quatre asked feeling a little embarrassed by Duo's behavior.
"Wait." The usual silent Trowa spoke. "Look who he's chasing after." He let out a smirk and motioned with his head.
They all observantly and carefully tried to see between the crowds when their eyes widened.
"Let's go." Stated Heero and the car swerved to the side and came to an abrupt stop at an empty space along the sidewalk. (A/N: Can that guy parallel park or what?) The car was quickly evacuated and of course locked by Heero using them cool button auto locks.
And then were 5 chasing the chased.
"What are you guys doing here!?" Duo was surprised to see his pals run up beside him out of nowhere.
"We saw you while we were driving! We thought we'd help and get a little revenge of our own!" Quatre yelled over to him while keeping pace with the rest of the group.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
The girls were getting extremely exhausted from running so much. Their muscles were aching and their lungs burned.
"I *definitely* need more exercise!" Kat said while clutching her side which had developed a cramp.
"Amen to that!" Mich said, also suffering from cramps.
"Should we just stop and maybe negotiate? I mean it *is* Duo, maybe he's persuadable." Lex suggested while glancing back. "Or maybe not!" And she picked up her pace.
"What? What's happening?!" Kat looked over her shoulder, "Holy shit man!! All five of them are behind us!!" And she too ran faster.
"….what…." Mich couldn't believe it. She took one glimpse and yelped. "Argh! Does this not end?! I'm sure we'll be shot if they ever catch up." She tried to keep pushing herself on.
*~*~*~*~*~*
Heero seemed to be just a couple of meters in front of his comrades; boy was he determined to take them down.
He reached behind his back to grab his 'baby'. He had enough of running like a fool when there's an easier way to get things done.
""Heero, no!" He heard Quatre's voice calling to him. Heero let out one of his 'Hns' and replaced his gun into the belt in the back of his jeans, and picked up his pace to take them out the old fashioned way.
"Guys! He's gaining!" Kat yelled and urged her friends to go faster.
"Who??" Mich yelled back.
"Heero!!" Kat replied.
"Oh yea that's just great. And I'm sure he simply CAN'T WAIT TO STRANGLE EACH OF US!" Mich yelled.
"This way!" Lex grabbed both Mich and Kat by the arms and pulled them into an alley way where they could hopefully escape.
Haha, too bad it was a dead end.
"Oh yea nice going Lex" Kat grumbled and glared at her friend who grinned sheepishly.
"Eh…woops?" She scratched the back of her head.
"We're in for it now you guys…" Mich said as she and her two friends slowly started to back up and eventually they were pressed against a brick wall as the 5 pilots were slowly advancing and the look in their eyes showed that they meant business.
TBC…..
A/N: Aww what a shame that I left you all at such a horrible place like THAT. Oh well. What are ya gonna do?
Like I said before, check the chapters mentioned in the first A/N at the top of this chapter. No pictures yet! (I didn't really like the way they turned out…hehe) but I'm working on it.
I'll try and get the next chapter out soon (this time I mean it!). I'll start writing during my classes at school like I did before. Well I'm off!
Comments and criticism are welcome!
