Disclaimer: I do not own Gundam Wing. I do own Lenx, Reiko, Kri, Hokiboshi, their Gundams, and Sasori. If you take them I will sic Trowa and Duo on you! *Turns to Duo who is sitting at the computer and reading over the previous chapters* Why do I have to do this stupid disclaimer any way? It's not like anyone reads it.

Duo: Because us bishounen need you to do that.

Me: Why?

Duo: I dun know. It's just a rule in the "How to Handle a Bishounen" book I found sitting around.

Me: There's a rule book for being with a bishie? What else does it have it in there? *Grabs the book from Duo and starts reading*

Duo: Um, I think she'll be back later on. For now, go ahead and read the chapter. Ja!

Battle of the Heart

Chapter Six: It's That Time Of The Month Again

Lenx and Hokiboshi had wandered off to Lenx's room while Heero, Kri, Sally, Wufei, and Noin went outside. Duo had followed Lenx and Hokiboshi, staying out of site, hoping to get some 'information' out of Lenx by eavesdropping.

~Lenx's POV~

I smirked to myself when I saw Duo following us in a mirror that we passed. So, he thinks he can eavesdrop on us, does he? Well, let's put on a little act...I grinned wickedly and left my door open just a crack. I quietly filled up a bucket of water and stood on a chair next to the door. I glanced at Hokiboshi and saw him standing on the other side of the door. Suddenly I started screaming about an intruder and Duo came running into the room. I poured the bucket of water on him and started laughing when he yelped as the ice cold water trickled down his super hot body...What the hell!? Where the heck did that thought come from? Even I'm not this hentai-ey. Sometimes. Hardly. Oh, who cares? Let's watch what else he does...

~Regular POV~

Duo glared at Lenx as he tried to wring out the water from his hair. Lenx was standing on a chair, laughing her head off at a soaking Duo. Suddenly Lenx gasped as she fell off of the chair. She waited for the impact of the floor but it never came. She stared up into Duo's eyes and blushed slightly. When she was about to fall, Duo had grabbed her around the waist and was now holding her to his chest.

"Er, thanks. And I'm sorry for pouring the water on you." Lenx said while blushing and looked away. Duo grinned and let her go.

"Nah, that's okay. Say, where'd the fox go?" He asked while looking around the room. Lenx looked around as well and rested her eyes on the closed door.

"Um, Duo? Do you remember one of us closing this door and locking it?" She asked as she tried to open the door. Duo shook his head and stood next to her. Lenx looked under the door(You know, that crack between the door and the floor?) and tried to look around. She could barely see Hokiboshi's feet padding down the carpeted hallway. She stood back up and glared at the door.

"Sneaky fox locked us in here! And I can't open this door because it locks from the outside. We just have to wait until someone comes up and unlocks it." She said grumpily and sat down on the bed. Duo sat next to her.

"Hey now! It isn't that bad to be stuck with me, is it? By the way, do you have a t-shirt that I could use or something? It's getting kind of cold in this wet shirt." He asked and looked around the small room. Lenx shook her head.

"Sorry, I don't have any t-shirts except for some of mine but those are too small for you to fit in." She said and laid back on the bed.

"Oh. Then I guess I can just take this off." Duo then proceeded to take off his wet shirt. Lenx shot up from the bed and stared at him wildly.

"What do you mean "just take this off"!? You can't take your shirt off just because it's wet, um, right?" Duo stared at a blushing Lenx and grinned.

"Don't tell me you don't want to see me without my shirt on?" He asked mischievously. Lenx looked away and shook her head.
"T-that's not it at all! I just don't think you...should...take...your...shirt off." She said slowly and watched as Duo did just that. She stared at his flat, muscled stomach and gulped nervously when Duo caught her staring.

~Duo's POV~

I grinned when I saw her staring at my chest. Heh, she still thinks that I don't know that she has a crush on me. Well, if I do say so for myself, I'd say she is pretty lucky to have a guy like me around. Of course, I think she's a little cute too...WHAT!? I did not just think that. Nope.

~Yes you did.~

I did not! And who the hell are you?

~I am your conscious, dumbass.~

Oh. And don't call me a dumbass.

~Back to the subject. You like Lenx.~

NO I DON'T!

~Admit it. You do.~

Do not.

~Do.~

Do not.

~Do.~

Do not!

~Do!~

DO NOT!

~DO TOO!~

DO NOT TIMES A MILLION!

~DO TOO TIMES A BILLION!~

DO NOT TIMES INFINITY!

~DO TOO TIMES INFINITY TIMES A ZILLION!~

Huh? Is zillion even a word, or number for that matter?

~Of course it is. I just used it.~

Jeez, you're really stuck up?

~I AM you, ya know.~

But I am not that mean.

~Just think of me as the evil you.~

Um, riiiight.

~SHUT UP! Now, back to the subject. Again. Admit that you like Lenx.~

Fine! *Mumbles* If it gets you to shut up.

~I heard that!~

Yeah, yeah. I do like Lenx a little bit.

~A little bit?~

A bit.

~A bit?~

A lota bit.

~A lota bit?~

WILL YOU SHUT THE HELL UP ALREADY!!

~Okay, okay. Sheesh! Now look whose mean.~

Shut. Up. Now, I am going to stop talking. Thinking. To myself and get out of this wet shirt. I must look weird just standing here with my shirt half way off and staring into space.

~End Duo's POV~

Duo finished taking his shirt off after he finished his little...conversation...with himself and sat across from Lenx who was not staring at him anymore.

"So, um, when do you think we'll be 'rescued'?" Lenx asked after a short silence, putting emphasis on the word 'rescued'. Duo leaned back on the bed and stared at the ceiling.

"I dunno. Last I heard Relena was taking Catherine, Sally, and Noin out shopping. Wufei, and Quatre were dragged along with them by Catherine and Sally. I think Heero got away from Relena. I swear, that woman is a stalker. I still wonder why Heero hasn't killed her yet after all those times he's tried." Duo said and looked back at Lenx.

"Duo! I hate Relena but I wouldn't want her killed. Um, at least not yet. Er, yeah. But anyways, just Kri, Reiko, Heero, and Trowa are here? What about Quatre's guard guys?"

"The Magwanocs(I don't know how to spell it!)? They left this morning, back to their home base. A few mechanics are here but they never come into the house. Our best bet would be the four you just named or we could wait until the others get back, but that would probably take a few hours." He said and closed his eyes.

"Oh. You know, we could just break the window or door down to get out." Lenx suggested.

"Nah, Quatre would kill us. We can try to make as much noise as possible but I doubt that would work. Let's just wait it out. You have food, right?" Duo said and jumped off of the bed quickly and stared at Lenx.

"Uh, I think I have some pocky and a few yan yan dipping cookies. And I have water but that's about it." She said as she stared at him, wide-eyed.

"Well, I can live with candy." Duo sighed in relief.

"You can! What about me? There's only two cookies left and one pack of pocky! How're we going to split that?" Lenx asked angrily. Duo backed away from Lenx who was approaching quickly.

"Um, we can each have a cookie and you can have half of the pocky?" Duo said as he shrugged nervously. Lenx shook her head and eyed him darkly. Duo hopped over the water bucket that Lenx had left sitting on the floor and stood up against the wall. Too bad for Lenx that she didn't see the bucket. Lenx shrieked as she started falling forward. At least until Duo's hands slid around her waist to steady her. She looked into his eyes and glared half-heartedly.

"I really think that fate is out to get us. How many times have we ended up like this in the past hour?" She asked and stood up, Duo's hands around her waist unnoticed.

"Well, it may be for you but I'm having a great time!" Duo said and grinned sheepishly. Lenx glared/stared at him with a pink blush flushing her cheeks. Duo chuckled.

"What?" Lenx asked angrily.

"Well, I'd say you were having a good time too because you haven't removed my hands from your waist yet." He said and looked pointedly at his hands that were still holding Lenx's waist. Lenx's blush deepened and she jumped away from Duo. Too late for them that Kri and Heero had decided that moment to 'rescue' Duo and Lenx. Kri smirked while Heero just raised an eyebrow.

"Well, you too look cozy." Kri said slyly. If possible, Lenx's blush deepened even more. She now looked like a tomato's cousin and Duo's cheeks were now slightly reddening.

"I-it's not like t-that. You see, I poured a bucket of water on Duo when he tried to eavesdrop on me and then Hokiboshi locked us in. A-and Duo had to take his shirt off 'cause it was all wet and we were waiting for someone to come and get us out 'cause we didn't want to break anything of Quatre's. And, um, yeah." Lenx stuttered and looked away. Kri's smirk got bigger and she walked up to Lenx.

"Lenx-chan. Didn't you want anything to happen?" Kri whispered.

"WHAT!?" Lenx yelled and jumped away from Kri who was grinning like a madman. Duo and Heero just stared at the two confusedly. Lenx looked at the two boys that were still in the room and glared at them.

"What're you two still doing here? Can't you see me 'n Kri are having a girl's talk?" She asked angrily. Duo and Heero looked at each other and ran out of the room as fast as they could.

"Hey Lenx, do I still get to eat the pocky?" Duo asked as he stuck his head back in the room.

"NO!" Lenx screamed and threw a vase out the door. Duo ducked just in time and sped down the hall. Kri gaped at Lenx who literally had steam coming off of her. Lenx, feeling that she was being watched turned to look at Kri.

"What?" She asked angrily. Not as angrily as before but still angry.

"Don't you think the vase was a bit overboard?" She asked quietly and sat down on the bed, staring at broken vase in the hall. Lenx smiled sheepishly and rubbed the back of her head.

"Uh, it's my time of the month and I'm really moody today." She said and stood up to leave the room, Kri following.

~Downstairs~

Reiko stopped staring at Trowa working out when a yell was heard. Trowa stopped as well and the two of them stared up at the ceiling where stomping and screaming was heard. A few seconds later a very distraught Heero and Duo flew into the room and slammed the door shut.

"What was that noise?" Reiko asked as she stared at the two heavily breathing Gundam pilots.

"B-beware of Lenx." Duo choked out as he slid down to the floor. Trowa stared at the confused but Reiko just smiled at them.

"Don't worry. If she said anything mean, don't take it to heart. It's her time of the month." All three boys turned red and Duo stared at the door wide-eyed.

"Next time she should warn us. I don't want to get hit by flying vases anymore." He breathed out and closed his eyes. Heero nodded.

"Yeah. And why are women always so moody when it's their time of the month or they are pregnant?" He grumbled. Reiko glared at him.

"Ya know I heard that! And we are not always moody!" She snarled angrily.

"Are you sure it's not your time of the month either?" Trowa asked quietly.

"Whad'ya mean by that?" Reiko growled as she turned to Trowa. Trowa's eyes widened slightly but he didn't back away from a very angry Reiko.

"Well, you are acting a lot like Lenx ya know." Duo said as he stared at the two, amused. Reiko looked back and forth between the boys and sighed.

"I guess I should warn you guys. All of our 'times of the month' are around this time. So don't piss us off, got that?" She asked and looked at them darkly. They nodded hastily.

"Oh, you might want to tell the others too. Don't want to wake up one day dead, do ya?" She called over her should as she walked out the door. Trowa, Duo, and Heero just stared at each other and then at the door.

******************************************************************************

I liked this chapter! I thought it was pretty cool. It would've been out sooner but right when I was in the middle of writing it, writer's block struck me. And I think this was the longest chapter I have ever written in any of my fics. Oh, and I just realized a few days ago that I am not following the Gundam Wing timeline at all. If you want me to actually stick to the timeline, I will have to re-do this whole fic and that will take about two weeks and it will probably be really messed up. Or you can just imagine that Treize, Lady Une, OZ and all the others are still alive and kickin'. Um, yeah. Duo should be back later on. He said he had some 'business' to do on the computer. Ja and please review! Animechick8
