CHAPTER 10!!!
Wufei lost all the color to his face.
"Zechs?" He asked with a shaky voice. "Zechs…" He repeated it as if it was a mantra. He sat down in the chair and held his head with his hands.
"Wufei?" Duo asked as he knelt infront of him. K's phone rang and he went off to answer it. Heero watched him as he left.
"Wufei what is it?" Duo asked again hoping that his Chinese friend wasn't going to lash out anytime soon.
"Zechs…" Wufei repeated. Duo's eyes softened. He knew what Wufei felt for Zechs. During the Mariemeia accident almost a year ago, Wufei had no interaction with Zechs. Tallgeese III was destroyed and no sign of Zechs was ever told.
"Oh Wufei…" Duo sighed and stood up. Duo walked over to Heero.
"So when were you going to tell us you knew where Zechs was?" Duo asked with his arms folded. He glared daggers at Heero. Heero looked up and met Duo's glare.
"I didn't think it was anyone's business who I associated with." Heero said simply. Duo sharpened his gaze.
"What the hell does that mean?" Duo shot at him.
"Duo? Why the heck are you so mad?" Heero asked calmly. Duo held his shirt tightly. All he wanted to do was punch Heero right now for keeping such a big secret from Wufei.
"BECAUSE IT'S IMPORTANT!!" Duo yelled. Everyone in the room looked up.
"It's just Zechs!" Heero shouted back.
"Just Zechs?! You kept something this important from us?!" Duo yelled. Shuichi tried to stand up to push them apart but Yuki held him back.
"Don't." He simply said as he pulled Shuichi back down.
"Duo-koi…calm down." Heero said softly. Duo breathed in a few times to steady his breath, then let go of his shirt and dropped his arms to his sides.
"Heero, this is important because of Wufei." Duo said softly.
"Nahuh Maxwell, don't bring me into this lovers quarrel." Wufei said. He stood up and walked over to the two. "Chill out guys. You can settle this later." He said. Duo looked at Heero then dropped his gaze.
"G-Gomen Koibito." Duo said. Heero reached out and brought Duo into an embrace.
"It's okay koi." Heero said softly then released Duo. He took a deep breath. "I have known this whole time where Zechs is." Heero began. "He's been hiding in L3. Relena went missing a few weeks ago, but there has been no ransom notes or anything."
"Why didn't you go find her?" Duo asked.
"Because Zechs offered before Une could make me. He's been up there researching this whole time and when Relena was kidnapped he went to head up the investigation. I called him before we left headquarters Sunday. He said he would be down here and let Noin continue the investigation against Relena. He's been staying at the Carlton Hotel. It's only about 3 blocks away." Heero finished. K walked in.
"Bad news. There's been another riddle." He said. Heero nodded.
"Shit." Duo said. Shuichi turned white.
"What?!" He yelled. "How can someone do this?! They already have Suguru in the hospital! Who's next? Me? Hiro? YUKI?!" Shuichi yelled. Yuki held him close.
"Calm down Shuichi." Yuki said.
"Shu-chan! Noone hurt's Shu-chan! Kuma makes sure of that!" Ryuichi added. Heero's gaze went cold.
"Alright. Duo, you and Wufei take Quatre and Trowa back to Yuki's. Yuki, you and Shuichi go with them. Tatsuha and Ryuichi stay here. Call Yuki's the moment Suguru is transported. Only then will Zechs be over. K, you and I will go see Tohma. We will meet you all back at Yuki's with the information." Heero said. Everyone nodded. Duo and Wufei moved quickly and grabbed Quatre and Trowa. Duo carrying Quatre and Wufei carrying Trowa.
"Heero!" Duo called. Heero walked over to him and Duo gave him a quick kiss. "Be careful." Duo said then left. Wufei followed him, behind them Yuki and Shuichi quickly made their way out.
"Bye Bye!" Ryuichi called after them using Kuma's hand to wave at them. K walked over to them and sat down.
"Now Ryuichi you know what to do right?" K asked.
"K! Ofcourse I do na no da!" Ryuichi smiled. K grinned and stood up.
"Good!" He smiled.
"Bye K." Tatsuha said. K nodded at him as he walked by.
"Let's go." Heero said. The two men left the waiting room.
Tatsuha and Ryuichi looked at each other.
"We're…alone…." Tatsuha began.
"In a waiting room…" Ryuichi continued.
"With no one around…" Tatsuha smiled. Ryuichi jumped up.
"LET'S DRAW!" He pulled a coloring book from his pants and held it up. Tatsuha promptly passed out.
~*At Yuki's*~
Yuki turned the key to the apartment and opened the door. He let the others in before him, then he turned around and shut the door behind him.
Wufei sat Trowa down on the couch and then watched as Duo struggled to get Quatre ontop the couch. Finally succeeding in getting the smaller boy situated, Duo sat next to the couple.
"Geez! Boy is heavier then he looks!" Duo exclaimed. Wufei left to get the medicine.
"Duo, are you okay?" Shuichi asked. He had for some reason became really quiet lately.
"Sure Shu-man! I was just about to ask you the same thing!" Duo said with a smile. Shuichi sat down. He watched as Yuki left the living room and went to his office.
"Oh, I'm fine. A little scared but okay I guess." Shuichi answered.
"You guess?" Duo repeated. Shuichi crouched over.
"Well, yeah, I guess I am okay. I'm just worried. Like I said, if this can happen to Suguru who says it won't happen to someone else? Like you, Heero, Hiro, Quatre…Yuki…" Shuichi said. Duo put his arm around Shuichi's shoulders.
"Well see, now, that won't happen." Duo assured him.
"Why is that?" Shuichi asked interested.
"Because you got something Suguru and Hiro didn't have."
"What's that?"
"Awake bodyguards." Duo said with a smile. Shuichi laughed.
"Hehe, thanks Duo. I needed that." Shuichi stood up. "I'm going to go talk to Yuki now, if you guys need us I will be with him." Shuichi smiled and walked towards Yuki's office.
"Sure thing! Just don't do anything I wouldn't!" Duo called after him.
"Which doesn't say a lot Maxwell." Wufei added when he returned into the room.
"Hey!" Duo acted hurt. Wufei shot him a glare.
"Save it." Wufei said sternly.
"Geez Wufei, what crawled up your ass?" Duo asked sarcastically.
"Certainly nothing that has crawled up yours." Wufei counterattacked, he was sleepy and very grumpy. He took out a sterile needle, measured the medicine, and injected it into Trowa. He did the same for Quatre and then laid the two pilots down comfortably.
"Well, until Yuy and K get here I suggest we get a little sleep. It's already 5 in the morning and I for one don't like all nighters." Wufei said as he went to the bedroom Yuki let him use.
"You wouldn't know an all nighter if it came up and bit you in the ass." Duo muttered before lying down on the opposite end of the couch away from Trowa and Quatre.
"What was that?" Wufei yelled. Duo smirked and Wufei slammed the door. Sleep and exhaustion settled deeply on Duo and he was soon fast asleep.
~*In Yuki's Office*~
"Ne, Yuki?" Shuichi asked with a yawn. Yuki looked up from his laptop at his lover.
"Come on, let's get some sleep before Heero and K get back." Shuichi suggested. Surprisingly Yuki nodded and stood up after closing his laptop down. He picked Shuichi up in a bridal fashion and took them to their bedroom. Shuichi snuggled close to Yuki and inhaled the cologne Yuki was wearing. It was kinda fading but it still smelled good.
When Yuki set him on the bed, he crawled behind him and held Shuichi in his arms. Soon they were both fast asleep.
~*At Tohma's House*~
K knocked loudly at the door while Heero waited behind him. A young woman answered the door.
"K." She said quietly. "Please come on in." She stepped aside and allowed the two agents entrance.
"Heero, this is Tohma's wife Mika." K said as Mika closed the door behind them. Heero nodded and shook her hand.
"Heero Yuy, pleasure." He said. Mika smiled and released his hand.
"Well, boys, Tohma is in his office. I'm going to meet some colleagues of mine. Bye!" She waved and exited.
"Alright, let's go." K said. They walked throughout the lavish home and stopped at Tohma's office door. Heero walked in first and K second.
"K, Heero, I'm glad you came so fast!" Tohma stood up from his desk and walked over to them. He held a sheet of paper in his hand. He held the paper up. "I found this when I checked my email." He handed it to K. K read it then handed to Heero, who also read it.
"Alright, fun time over
Drop dead guitar boy's lover!
Or is it best that guitar boy go first?
What a great curse!
Watch and see what I do
But don't cry if I yell BOO!" Heero read. "What the hell?" He asked. Realization finally hit him who it was. "Come on!" He begun to run. (AN: Hey another rhyme!) K and Tohma ran swiftly behind him.
"Where are we going?!" Tohma yelled.
"We have to get to Yuki's!" Heero shot back.
~*At the Hospital*~
Hiro sighed again. He was tired. They had finally been able to move Suguru's condition up from 'critical' to 'stable', and now they were sitting in room 156 of Singing River Memorial Hospital (A/N: I'll explain the name at the end). Suguru's monitors beeped in the background and the noise of the breathing machine both soothed and agitated Hiro. It soothed him because it knew that Suguru was still alive, but it also agitated him because it meant Suguru was still in the coma.
"Oh Suguru…" His sentence was cut off by the sounds of the fire alarms and the smell of smoke engulfed his senses. Hiro coughed a few times, then ran to the door. The door suddenly burst open and a figure was standing there with a gas mask on. A few more people stood behind the figure, all wearing gas masks.
"Get the boy!" The person ordered. The men ran forward and detached all of Suguru's life and monitor chords.
"NO!" Hiro tried to jump at them but the smoke was having a high effect on him. He fell limply to the ground. The figure walked up and removed its mask. Hiro looked up one last time.
"Aya…ka…" he lost consciousness.
~*At Yuki's*~
Heero didn't bother knocking, instead he kicked the door down and busted inside. Duo jolted awake.
"Heero?!" Duo yelled. He jumped up and ran to Heero. "What is it?" Duo asked. Quatre blinked groggily and sat up.
"Hmm…Heero?" He looked around. "Duo? What's going on?" He rubbed his eyes. Duo rushed over to him.
"No time to explain Quat." He said. Duo then began to shake Trowa. "Trowa! Wake up!" Trowa opened his eye.
"Wh-What happened?" He asked. K decided to take over.
"It's like this. You were drugged, Suguru was shot, Hiro confessed to drugging you, another riddle was found and that's why Tohma and I are following spandex boy." K summed it up.
"Ooooohh…" Quatre said. He sat silent for a minute. "HIRO DRUGGED US?!" He slapped his forehead. "Damnit!" Quatre yelled. Everyone including Heero jumped. Wufei took that moment to run into the room, as did Yuki and Shuichi.
"What's going on?" Yuki asked.
"The riddle…I know who it is." Heero said. "I don't know why it didn't hit me before now." Heero sat down.
"So who is it?" Duo asked. Shuichi walked up.
"Who is it Heero-san?" Tohma asked. He was very upset by all this.
"Can I see the riddle?" Shuichi asked. Heero nodded and held it out to Shuichi. He took it and sat down.
"Relena." Heero said.
"Relena?" Trowa asked. "Why do you think that?" Heero took a deep breath.
"Think about all the clues. 'Flower Child' a.k.a., Relena's favorite poem she tries to recite to me every five minutes. And then the concert, she's been trying to drag me to one of those for a while with her." Heero said.
"But Heero, that makes no sense." Wufei said. "Why would Relena be stalking Bad Luck?"
"Because she's Ayaka's best friend." Yuki said. " I remember her mentioning a 'Relena' a lot."
"Wh-What?!" Duo gasped. "Ayaka?? Ayaka who?" Shuichi looked up.
"Ayaka, as in the one who tried to get me away from Yuki." Shuichi explained. He looked at the paper again and his eyes grew wide. "I know! Think about it guys! If Relena is Ayaka's friend and she's doing this because…A) I stole Yuki from her, B) Hiro left Ayaka for Suguru, and C) Suguru is Hiro's new lover!!" Shuichi yelled. "Don't you guys see!!!???" He threw the paper in the air. "Ayaka and Relena are the ones who shot Suguru, sent those letters and threatened Bad Luck!"
"I think the brat has got it!" Wufei said. Shuichi smiled. Yuki looked at him.
"So your brain does work…" Yuki smiled warmly at Shuichi.
"Now, I suggest we call this Zechs person and meet him at the hospital." K said. Shuichi turned around to grab his coat but accidentally stepped on the TV remote.
"Um, guys, I don't think that's an option." Shuichi said softly. Everyone turned to look at him.
"Why??" Duo asked. Shuichi pointed to the TV.
'Minutes ago Singing River Memorial Hospital was broken into. The perpetrator used sleeping gas on the second floor staff, and when they were all out, the men proceeded in stealing a patient. The patients name has yet to be released but Special Preventer Zechs Marquise assures us that the Preventers will be taking care of the situation…In other news…" Yuki shut the TV down.
Duo's face fell and he dropped to the floor.
"Well shit, now what?" he looked up at his comrades. Wufei's eyes widened but then they returned to their normal state.
"Let's go talk to Zechs. And then we can find this Ayaka person. I'm sure where she is, Relena will be." Wufei said. Everyone nodded and left Yuki's apartment. Wufei, Trowa, Quatre, Heero and Duo slipped on their vests and their guns before heading out the door., unbeknownst to them the figure that sat outside on Yuki's porch listening with a stethoscope.
"Oh, so you figured it out huh? Well, I better go warn Rel and Ayaka." The woman smiled and leapt off the edge.
~*End Chapter 10*~
Well was that better??? How's that for a plot? ^_^_^_^_^
