Chapter 8
~~~~~~~
WOW! I never really realized how long it had been for Michiru and Duo to actually kiss until you pointed it out. I went "Has it really been that long?" and yes it has… bleh! And here I thought this story would be done with sooner!... yah little do "I" know!
*Sigh* in any case… sorry for the prolonged updating up the next chapter… I should have warned you all of it or something… my fault. And I guess I really don't have an excuse other than getting off my but and writing again… and working on Yan-chan some more… and Techies… and Dark Healer… and updating my website… And not to mention trying to give blood at the Red cross and having them not only hit my blood vein but a ton of nerves too!... my screaming made them take it out… and for a while it was near impossible to use my arm…. It's still healing… *sigh* mew mew…
Wait! I just realized I haven't responded to chapter 6 and 7's reviews! Bad me!!

Note: Duo and Heero are spies and so both have different names.

Heero's name is Henry
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michiru's heart beat wildly as he moved toward her. What was he doing?
"Duo…" she whispered softly as he moved on the bed toward her, leaning over her forcing her to lie on her back.
"…what…" he broke her soft voice off with his lips soft and gentle over hers. She grew deathly still scared and excited at the same time. His lips moved over hers sending heat through her and she relaxed opening up to his ministrations. Her eyes slowly closed being lost in the feeling.
He moved away and her eyes swiftly opened. Her eyes showed confusion and wonder as he slowly pulled away.
"That's what he knew." Duo whispered softly to her before getting up and leaving her to her thoughts.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Computers quietly whirred in the dark computer room. Outside a guard was standing there preventing anyone from entering to get to the confidential information on those computers. Little did he know that some one was inside.
A male body is illuminated slightly by the soft green lights of the computers. He pulls out a mini disk and suddenly turns toward the door as the click of the door being opened echoes through the room.
Light pours in to show no one there but the whirring computers as a scientist comes in and turns on the lights. Up above in an air vent the man watches for a moment and then quietly crawls away.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Michiru sat curled up on the bed for a long time mulling over what had just happened. Her fingers often traveling up to her lips as if to make sure it hadn't been a dream… What had made him kiss her like that… why hadn't she stopped him?
Because she loved him? Well that was obvious but loving also caused pain and she knew that he and Heero belonged to each other… he didn't belong to her. But… he kissed her… She didn't make him kiss her… Is that what he meant that Heero knew?
That Duo and Heero weren't together? That Duo loved her? She shook her head, it just couldn't be possible. But all the same that small little seed of hope had been planted and was starting to grow.
A knock on her door got her attention as she pushed herself up from her bed.
"Who is it?" She asked at the edge of the door.
There seemed to be a silence for a moment before a young mans voice could be heard through the door if some what muffled, "I like you!"
Michiru blinked and furrowed her eyebrows together, outside she heard the sound of people running away and doors shutting. She sighed and shook her head. Finally coming out of her thought since the past few hours Michiru glanced up at the clock.
Just 10 minutes before she had to head back to the Dojo for more practice. Man the day just seemed to go on forever! With a sigh the door was opened and she wandered down the halls headed towards the Dojo for the second practice time for that day. The last one would be after Dinner. For a moment Michiru wondered how many of the students would stuff themselves before heading over to the Dojo.
Light filtered through the windows giving Michiru a good view of the Dojo and the students waiting outside. Also with those students she spotted Heero and Duo, or was it Nattia… she really needed to get that set right in her mind before she accidentally called Duo by his real name in front of everyone else. She didn't exactly want to get Duo and Heero killed, especially not after Duo stuck his neck out for her.
Pausing at a window Michiru watched Duo (Nittia) and Heero in silence. They were both unusually quite in their actions as well as their words. Neither of them were looking at each other, near each other, or speaking. She sighed resting her head on the window sill. This was her fault… she hadn't tried to do anything but spend time with the love of her life no matter HOW much it hurt to know that he loved Heero.
This was one of those times that her friends words echoed through her head "Be selfish once and a while Michiru." She just couldn't do it though… she didn't want to force anyone apart, and she certainly didn't want to ruin Heero and Duo's relationship.
Agreed Heero didn't exactly like her, in fact she still was pretty sure he'd try to kill her if he had the right reason for it.
A calm and kind voice seemed to shake Michiru out of her thoughts and to glance in the direction it had come from, "Hm?"
"Student Michiru" the voice was coming from the blond haired teacher from earlier Mr. Rebarba, also known Quatre the Gundam pilot in disguise. She wondered if Heero or Duo had told the other pilots about her. That she might be a spy or that she was splitting Heero and Duo up.
"Michiru?" his voice seemed to ring out again blue eyes sparking with concern, he had called her name out about 5 times and she seemed to be staring at him or to be precise THROUGH him.
She blinked her eyes seeming to focus again, "yes?... I'm sorry I was zoning out for a moment there."
Quatre wasn't used to the term "Zoning" but from the earlier actions done by student Michiru he could figure it out on his own with out asking.
Quatre smiled a little at her, "Having trouble?" moving his eyes to the window to emphasize who exactly he meant was having trouble.
She nodded with a sigh, "Yes… I am…" She ran her hands through her bangs just breathing confusion and hurt, "I really don't know what to do…"
Quatre smiled, he found this all so cute, Trowa kept telling him to butt out of these kinds of things but he couldn't help it!
"You love him don't you." It wasn't a question it was a statement.
Slightly shocked she nodded, "Yes… but… Heero…"
He shook his head, "I wish I could tell you what was going on with those two… but they seem to keep that kind of stuff pretty secret from all of us." Quatre wished he could stay and help Michiru but from the clock he could tell she was going to be late if he didn't hurry this up. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a mini disk, "This is a copy of something my friend got for me. I was wondering if you could give this too Nittia and Henry?"
Quatre was trusting this information with her? Even if she might be a spy? A smile formed on her face no matter how hard she tried to keep it from coming, "thank you." Taking it she put it in her pocket and headed off to the dojo at a fast trot arriving perfectly on time.
This happening was a good thing… and a bad thing. It meant that she had to wait before she gave the information to Duo or Heero. Their Martial arts teacher, Wufei in her mind, started the main group right off holding Heero, Duo and herself off from the rest of the group.
"You three seem to know more than just the basics in Martial arts so I shall have the three of you be taking more personalized Martial arts." He ran an expert eye over the three of them and shook his head, "But first you three must learn some Tai Chi. You are too tense and distracted to do any good fighting right about now."
Heero seemed to be fuming inside at Wufei but Wufei wouldn't budge. Instead he started them off with the breathing exercises He glanced at Michiru who didn't seem to be having any troubles with the Tai Chi.
"Have you done this before Michiru?"
She nodded slightly, "I've taken a Tai Chi class once…. But that was a while ago…"
Wufei shrugged, "No matter I need some one to watch those two while I take care of everyone else."
Michiru nodded a little and Wufei was gone before she could say anything. She sighed moving to stand in front of them; it was the best spot to be so that they could see exactly what they needed to do.
Two eyes staring at her, she found was a little uncomfortable. Heero glaring daggers at her as if she was his sworn enemy and Duo watching her… with… she wanted to say love or at least appreciation but didn't really want to admit that to herself. She never thought she would be so happy to see a teacher come back then she did now.
Wufei took over the rest of Tai Chi lessons until the end of class. The Tai Chi seemed to have really helped calm Michiru down and glancing at both Heero and Duo she could see that the both of them looked relaxed.
Most of the students, including Heero, were sent to do some more chores for that day, leaving Duo and Michiru alone. She knew that Quatre had asked her to give the disk to both Heero and Duo but Heero was gone at the moment and despite the Tai Chi she found herself getting worked up all over again.
Duo glanced at Michiru as they walked down the halls, she didn't seem to be doing to well. She seemed hurt and confused but he couldn't tell what exactly it was that was bothering her so much. He was definitely going to find out once they reached their room.
The door closed behind her with a soft click with Duo holding the handle still and giving her a look that sent shivers down her spine. She suddenly wished they weren't staying in the same room.
"Michiru…" his voice sounded so beautiful right then… oh how she wished he could love her… that she didn't have any secrets to hide from him…
That was when she noticed his lips were moving but her mind didn't seem to recognize what he was saying, "Hu?"
"What's wrong?"
"What?... oh… um…" She couldn't look at him. It wasn't exactly fun to admit your feelings to someone. She racked her brain to try and explain it with out actually having to tell him anything… at least not at the risk of her already delicate heart.
"What…. Why did you kiss me?"
Duo blinked, was that what was bothering her? "Because… I… um…" for once he found himself tongue tied.
He watched as she glanced up with a small smile, "Cat got your tongue?" Gods how he loved her!
Okay… he needed to start from the beginning and maybe then the words would start to roll out. That's what he did when he was nervous… right? It always worked… right?... he just hoped he didn't sound like a total buffoon.
"…When Heero came in threatening to kill you… I told him that I refused." She nodded looking into his violet eyes. He found he had to recollect his thoughts because of losing himself in her eyes for a moment there, "You see… when I make a decision I keep by it. Heero knows this, so when I said that he knew that I was risking my life. The only reason I would do that was if I had fallen in love…" there he had said it.
Her eyes blinked and he noticed hope shining in their depths, "I love you…" he said softly, "that's what that kiss meant…"
"B… but… what about Heero?" she asked, "I… I thought you two… were in love…" She was surprised by the some what cruel laugh that came out of Duo.
"I don't know how it is you get all the information but for once your only half right. It was all one sided… and I tried… for years… and he just kept pushing me away." He sighed, "I gave a long time ago… there's nothing between us now."
"Then why is Heero jealous?"
"Probably because I'm not lavishing attention on him like I used to and he misses it."
"Oh…" Some how she doubted it was just that but it didn't seem that Duo was going to be falling for Heero again anytime soon. She sat down in her bed and felt something press against her skin from her pocket.
"Oh yah!" she exclaimed.
"Hm?"
Michiru dug through her pockets and pulled out the mini disk, "Quatre asked me to give this to you guys."
Duo raised an eyebrow, "Quatre trusted you with that?..." He paused, "Then again… that guy is too trusting some times."
Michiru gave him a mock pout the previous conversation forgotten for a moment, "I thought you believed I wasn't a spy."
He grinned, "Oh you are definitely guilty." At her deeper pout his grin just grew wider until he seemed to almost pop right next to her hugging her to him, "But even if you betrayed me you would still own my heart… and I wouldn't stop loving you…"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Tiss the end for now my friends! Hey longer then usual right? I was trying to give you more stuff to read. *Big grin* And because of all this trouble I went through you have to review! Right? RIGHT! ^-^
What's on the disk? Will Heero try and kill Michiru? Will he ever give up? Will he ever just get a life? Are they going to be found out? Will they discover Michiru's secret!?
Find out! (Hopefully) next time! In Chapter 9! Heero's revenge!... not really but it sounds good doesn't it! ^-^
