Chapter 6

Three days had passed. There was no word from Duo,and Violet's parents still hadn't showed up. But the good then was that Trowa was back up on his feet.

"I just don't get this,"said Quatre. "Duo still hasn't called and it's been 3 days. I hope he's not mad at me."

"Why would he be mad at you? Just because you've taken custody of a child? I'm happy you did it. I don't think there's any reason to be mad you did what you had to do."

"Yeah,but just wait until Heero finds out. I could just imagine the look on his face."

"Oh,don't worry about Heero. He's got his ways. I'll tell him to be nice if he finds out."

"No killing,right?"

He smiled. "I promise Little Angel. I just wish the killing was over for good."

"Yeah,you got that right."

"Hey,can I ask you something?"

"Yeah,sure. Shoot."

"Did Duo ever ask you who tried to kill us? I mean,who tried to set your van on fire?"

"Yeah. Why?"

"Oh. No reason. But he was really wanting to know. I just told him that I didn't know."

"He probably wants to know if the guy is starting another war. It kinda makes sense."

"Yeah,you're right. I just wish he would call. I'm really getting worried."

"Hey. Don't forget what I said Quatre. Don't worry about it. He'll call when he wants too. I bet he's got a ton of work to be done. I'm actually glad he's with Hilde."

"Yeah. I guess you're right Duo. I'm sorry."

He smiled again. "It's alright Quatre."

"I'm going to see Violet. It's time to feed her anyways."

"Quatre,you aren't mad,are you?"

"No,I'm not Trowa."

"Good. Because I wanna come with you to see Violet."

His heart starting pounding with joy. "Oh,thank you Trowa!"and they left the room.

"Hey Hilde! Could you help me over here?"said Duo. Yep,he was working again. Just like usual. But something wasn't right. His attitude had changed and he was working about 10 hours a day. Hilde didn't like it,but she didn't wanna do anything about it because she didn't want him to yell at her.

"Sure Duo!" I just wish I could do something,she thought. I love him to death and I don't want him to get hurt. But this is just to much for him. What's wrong with him? "Duo,please tell me what's wrong with you."

"Nothing is wrong Hilde."

"Yes,something is wrong Duo. Look,let's take the day off and you can tell me what your problem is."

"Look Hilde. Nothing is wrong with me,ok? Let's just get back to work."

"No."

"What?"

"No Duo. You have to stop."

Duo put down his work and sat down...exhausted.

"Look Duo. I can't stand you like this. You're working to much and you haven't talked to Quatre or Trowa in about 4 days. And you barely talk to me anymore. I just don't know what to think of you anymore. It just...isn't you Duo."

Duo just became silent. He didn't know what to say. I just hope he was listening to me,she thought. "Hilde."

"Yes?"

"Thanks. I guess you're right. I haven't been myself lately,"he went over and hugged her. Then their lips met. "Can you ever forgive me?"he asked after their lips parted.

"I guess I can. C'mon. Let's just take the rest of the day off. I just can't stand you like this. Please?"

"Oh,alright. I guess I could stop."

"Good. Now let's go!"she pulled his hand and they left.

Quatre sat in his room,waiting for Trowa to get off with Heero. I just hope he approves of what I've done,he thought. I don't want him to try to kill me or Violet.

"Quatre?"

"Yes Trowa?"

"Heero would like to talk to you."

He sighed. "Coming Trowa,"and he left the room.

Trowa waited in the room as Quatre talked to Heero. I hope everything

thing's going good,he thought. Please don't try to hurt him Heero. I

don't want that.

"So,how did everything do?"Trowa asked when Quatre came back to the room.

"Fine. Heero's comin' over."

"WHAT?!"

"I know! It sounds crazy,but he wants to come over and see Violet."

Trowa layed on the couch,not believing what he'd just heard. "Heero wants to come over and see Violet. What is up with him?"

"I dunno. I guess he's changed a lot over the last year and a half."

"Yeah,you got that right."

"And he sounded really happy about it too."

"NOW THAT IS NOT HEERO!"

"I know. Heero is just so quiet."

"I think we all know that Quatre. He's like me sometimes. Well,at least he used to be."

"Yeah,you got that right. I wonder what got him under his act this time."

"Probably Relena again. I wouldn't be surprised."

"Me neither. I just hope he doesn't have his gundam."

"Oh,and Quatre...I need to talk to you about something that might kinda shock you.

"Oh no. What is it?"

"Violet's father is coming."

"WHAT?!"

"Yes. He's been putting signs up where Heero lives,saying he wants his daughter. If she is living in a home...he'll kill the owner. He's trying to start a war Quatre."

"Are you sure?"

"I'm afraid too Quatre. I'm afraid so."

"This can't be happenening. I know I've only had Violet for a couple of months. But she seems like she just...well..like a blood relative to me. I don't know."

"I think you should keep her Quatre."

"What did you say?"

"I think you should keep her Quatre. You're such a great parent. I just can't believe the way you 2 have bonded in the last 6 months. It's just... incredible."

"Thanks Trowa. But what should we do? I don't want to be killed Trowa!"

"I don't want you to be either. We'll have to call Duo,Heero,and Wufei to think of something. I know we can work something out."

"Do you mean that we'll have to kill him?"

"I'm afraid to Quatre. If you want to keep her. And if you don't want to be killed."

He sighed. "I guess you're right. It's the only thing we can do. I guess I'm gonna have to rely on you guys."

"No. Actually Quatre...we're going to have to rely on you."

"What?! Why me?"

"Because you're the parent Quatre. You're the one who took custody of the child. But I promise we'll be on your side."

He looked at Trowa with a straight face. "Alright. But can I ask you one thing?"

"Yeah sure."

"Can I at least trust you guys to help me out with this?"

He smiled. "I can promise you on that Little Angel. I promise."

"Thanks. Well,we might as well give the other pilots a call before one of us gets killed."

"Ok. I'll call them. You go take care of Violet."

"That'll be fine,"and he left the room. Thank you for helping me out Trowa,he thought. I don't want to kill anyone anymore. But I guess you're right. I don't have a choice. Thank you...

Trowa called the other gundam pilots and luckly enough,everyone pitched in to help. Even Wufei. The gundam pilots got everything ready. Traps,and even their gundams. Quatre still wasn't sure if he was ready for this.

"I just don't know if I can kill anyone anymore,"he said,depressed.

"Then I'll do it for you,"said Duo. "I can't stand seeing you like this."

"Thanks Duo. I apperciate it."

"No problem Quatre. Anything to get you through this crap."

"How many more days until you think they'll be here Heero?"

"2 days at the least. The mobile suits aren't even close to the colony Quatre. I wouldn't worry about it."

"I would worry about it Heero!"said Duo. "For god sake man. This guy's trying to start another war!

"I know. But since we've made a plan I don't see that happening any time soon."

"I hope you're right Heero."
