Disclaimers: I don't own Gundam Wing, just this plot, and I don't know how well that is going. Don't sue me, because I make nothing off of this fic. I don't even have any money in my bank account right now. _;;
A/N: This part is dedicated to the Death & the Dragon ML, WufeiDuoyaoiML, and to Jo-chan, for being the BEST Wufei that I could ever hope to for to bounce questions off of. ^_^;; BTW, while most of the time Relena's kingdom is referred to as Sanc, I believe it is supposed to be the French word, Cinq, which means five, and actually makes SENSE. But, since it is translated in the manga (book 2 page 15 frame one or chapter 5 page 15 frame 1) that is the name I will be using.
April 11th, AC 195…23:00:00
I can't BELIEVE the gall of that… that ONNA, to steal Wufei's word at the moment. I really want to ring her neck, but then when I saw Duo and Wufei holding hands, and then Duo was SO happy when they got home. I still want to kill her. I want to help Heero track her down, and hurt her.
I spent the last week worried out of my mind, especially when Deathscythe and Altron were found without Duo or Wufei. Add to it the fact that I couldn't even really feel how either were doing, I was going insane. I can not describe the relief I felt when Abdul emailed me, saying that Wufei and Duo had arrived at his and Auda's camp, looking quite healthy and happy.
I nearly wept, but then I remembered that I had to contact Trowa. I emailed him around 4 pm, after Abdul told me about the recovery of my friends. I told him that they had been found, and were headed on their way here.
He sent back an email saying that he was relieved, and that Heero seemed to be less agitated from what he had been showing. That was the most I had heard about Heero's condition, but my uchuu no kokoro told me more. He seemed relieved, and anxious. I wrote back that I would let them know more when Wufei and Duo had gotten home.
I sat trying to concentrate on some more planning for Instructor H, while waiting for my friends to come home, but all I succeeded in doing was agitating myself. After two hours of nothing, I went into the TV room, and played some of Duo's old movies that he recommended to me a while ago.
I was in the middle of a really old movie called The Bride of Frankenstein when the whine of very large engines was blocking out the noise from the TV. I stopped the movie, and ran to the underground hangar. I got there just as they were landing.
As soon as both had emerged from the cockpits of Shinigami and Nataku, I ran over and engulfed them in a huge bear hug. They looked so happy just then. It made my heart soar.
"Oh, you had no idea how worried I was about you two. What happened?" I said, pulling them back to look at them better.
Duo's hand went up, and he had a disk, which he handed to me. "Watch this. But, before you ask any more questions, I would like a hot shower and a hot meal." He walked to the door leading to the house, but before he got there, Wufei had caught up, and grabbed his hand, walking with him into the house.
I thought it was nice to see that kind of interaction from the once reserved and snide Chinese boy, especially when some of his harsher remarks had been directed towards my braided best friend.
I walked into the house, and went to the study, where I had set up camp while they had been missing. I watched the disk in horror, and then disgust, and then anger, as the heir of the Sanc Kingdom told my friends she was imprisoning them to get Duo out of the way, so she could pursue Heero, unimpeded. I wanted to ring her cute little neck right then and there.
I turned it off, and emailed Trowa and Heero, telling them about the contents of the disk, and where Wufei and Duo had been the past week. I received an email from Trowa five minutes later, telling me that Heero was very upset and was currently looking for Relena to finally kill her.
As soon as I was done reading Trowa's email, I received one from Heero, who told me that their mission was complete and that they would be at the safe house at 10 am the next morning. His tone was curt, even considering it was Heero. He usually was a little more polite than that to me.
I replied that I would inform the other two, and that we would look forward to their appearance in the morning. I shut off my laptop, and walked into the kitchen. I had a very strong urge for some tea.
I had just sat down with a mug of tea, going over Relena's little stunt in my head, as Wufei walked into the kitchen and sat down across from me.
"Winner, something the matter?" He said as he was sitting.
I grimaced as the image of Relena's smug smile ran through my head. "I can't believe that…that… that ONNA!" I shouted.
Wufei looked as if he might actually laugh at my outburst. "Neither of us could either. And we were victims to her sick and twisted plot."
"She was just so… cold, in that video. Can you tell me who was the one who delivered this message?"
"Pargon." He gritted through his teeth.
I was shocked. She actually sent her personal man to do this??? Stupid BITCH! "Pargon? You mean to tell me, she was smart enough to send you false messages through a secret line, but stupid enough to leave a trail a mile wide when it came down the actual imprisonment?"
"We have dealt with OZ, who by normal standards, are MUCH more stupid. She was just anxious to get her way." He scoffed. "And, now she will have to deal with Yuy, after he finds out what she did. Putting all missions in danger for her little girl's dream."
"Actually, we will all have to deal with him, and Trowa, tomorrow morning. And if there is anything I know, it's Trowa's tone of voice, even in an email. He was upset, and he told me that Heero was very, VERY upset."
We fell into silence, neither of us knowing what to say next, and just dwelling on our anger. Duo chose that moment to bound happily into the kitchen.
"What's up guys?" He asked, as he took the seat next to Wufei's. I half-watched as Wufei's hand darted over to grab Duo's.
"It seems that Yuy and Barton are aware that we are back. Their mission is completely finished, and they are determined to come home early." He snarled, barely keeping his anger from showing in his voice.
"That's cool. The Doctors will be happy to hear that." Duo then glanced at me. "What's the matter, Q-ball?"
I shook my head. "Heero has gone completely off his rocker. I think that is the correct expression. It seems that when I told Trowa about the disk that you gave me, Heero went looking for Relena."
"Oh shit. So, did he find her?"
"Not as of yet. Trowa is trying to convince him to leave the school now, so their cover isn't blown, but Heero is obsessed with finding her."
"Damn, he always was single minded. When will they be back?" He gave a deep sigh.
"Trowa said that if he had to knock him over the head, then he would, and drag him back here. They should be here about 10am tomorrow."
Both took a look at the clock. It was approximately ten-thirty in the evening.
"So, in less than twelve hours, we will get to see the uber pissed off Heero Yuy and the tranquil Tro-man?"
"Trowa isn't quite as tranquil as he normally is. He is very upset as well. I don't think Relena will be very welcome any time soon."
"No shit, Winner. That onna is lucky that I don't hit women."
I was taken aback by Wufei's manner at the moment, though I could hardly blame him for feeling that way. Hell, I wanted to strangle her.
Duo gave a sigh. . "I think Wufei and I both could use something to eat." He stood up, and headed directly for the fridge. "What's there to eat, Q-bean?"
"Look in the oven. There should be a pizza, and some baked tofu in there."
"Bleh, baked tofu. Gotta be for you, Fei-kun."
"My reaction is the same for your usual mess of a pizza. Whoever heard of sausage, anchovies, jalapeno peppers, and pineapple together on a pizza?" He snorted at his own comment.
"Hey it's good! Don't you think so, Q-ball?"
I gulped. I mean, I like Duo. He's my best friend, but some of the things he eats, I wouldn't touch with a 10 meter pole. "Well it was different, and my head didn't explode." I shot a glance at Wufei, for backup. "Besides, baked tofu isn't that bad. At least it's not that blacken chicken stuff Heero made a few months ago."
Duo brought the food out of the oven, placing the plate of tofu in front of our companion. That wasn't blackened chicken. That was supposed to be roasted chicken, so it was BURNT!"
Wufei violently spat his first bite all over the table. "And Yuy made us eat that crap?! And then lied about the contents? The dishonour runs rampant." Wufei's face curled up into a look of utter disgust. I can't say I blamed him. That stuff was horrible.
I sat, staring into my cold tea, as the other two ate. Then a very bad thought, probably brought on from hanging with Duo too long, came to my mind. "So, should I expect to help one of you move into the other's room?" I said, as I went to take a drink from my mug.
Duo then gave a repeat performance of Wufei's early trick of spitting his food all over the table. "What?" He asked.
Wufei stood up angrily from the table. "I don't see how that is any of your business, Winner. Maxwell, I will speak with you later." He stomped out of the kitchen, and we could hear his footsteps, normally so gentle and nonexistent, but now thundering through the quiet house, go up the stairs.
"Sheesh, Q-man, you could have at least let us finish eating before you spring some stuff like that at us."
I felt a blush crawl over my face. "Well, I wanted to know if either of you would need helping moving? Isn't that what friends do? They offer to help one another."
"Yeah, but you know how Fei is. I mean, he has changed a lot this last week, but still. You could have let the man eat in peace."
I snickered. "Boy, someone is acting like the overprotective boyfriend right now."
His mouth opened, and then he promptly closed it. He didn't say anything at all for a few moments.
"Duo?" I asked, quietly.
He shook his head. "Yeah?"
"You ok? I was just kidding, you know."
"Yeah, I know. Look, I'm tired. I'm gonna head up to my room and take a nice long nap before I have to deal with Yuy tomorrow." He retreated, and I could hear his footsteps reverberate through the house.
"Yuy?"
I was dumbfounded. Since when does Duo call ANYONE by their last name, except when he is trying to get on Wufei's nerves?
I sighed and cleared off the table, cleaning up the mess the other two had made. Seems like lately, I have been doing a lot of cleaning after those two. They should both learn to relax. I snickered. Yeah right. Like any of us could relax with a war going on. Don't be so naïve, Quatre.
After I had finished in the kitchen, I headed up the stairs to the room I shared with Trowa, when he was here that is. I heard Duo and Wufei talking quietly in Duo's room, but I decided to just ignore them. I had embarrassed them enough for one night.
Ahhh, Allah, how I miss my Trowa, and the anger inside me is just so much. I do NOT relish being Relena at this moment. Not with five very ANGRY Gundam pilots after her blood, especially Heero.
I think I know why Heero is so upset, but I won't guess at it. Oh fine, I will. It's not as if anyone but I check this thing. I feel that Heero is in love with Duo. How will he feel once he realizes that his actions may have lost the braided boy, and to Wufei? I don't think he will like that much at all.
Well, I will find out tomorrow when he and Trowa come home. Sigh, I miss him so much. GAH! I am repeating myself. I hate that. But, it is true. He has been away for so long. It is midnight now. Only ten more hours. I can take that.
Fortunately, it is time that I got some rest. I haven't gotten any proper sleep since Duo and Wufei went "missing" this whole past week. And tomorrow, I believe is going to be a VERY long day for all five of us.
Until then……
