Okay, I'm back with my next chapter. Just to make sure there are no misunderstandings:
I do not own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon and never will. Okay, happy now I admitted it?! ::little tear::
There, even though I have it at the beginning of my story I guess I'll just make sure you don't miss it.
::Cranks up "I Hate Everything About You.":: Hehe...I love that song.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Thump! Thump!
Minako was vaguely aware of herself bouncing. As consciousness continued to assault her, she was more aware of a pressure on her stomach.
In vain, her mind pushed away the reality of the world as it drew her near. 'I don't wanna go back,' she thought in a childlike voice. The world hurt too much.
But like a moth drawn to the flame she became more aware of everything; her situation, her hurt and pain, and even more so the throbbing headache that refused to leave her alone.Then the peaceful darkness was gone and she opened her eyes.
She groaned in disappointment.
"She's waking up!" said a concerned feminine voice she recognized.
Minako's eyelids fluttered and then she was looking at everything around her. Five sets of eyes stared at her in concern.
"Good morning sleeping beauty." She saw the boy with the braid smile mischievously at the statement.
"The name's Duo. He stuck out his hand for her to shake but she only buried her head into the solid item that was holding her up.
She heard a grunt beneath her and jumped. Sliding off the shoulder she fell onto the ground in a much disarrayed heap.
"Oh my gosh! I didn't know it was alive!"
The "solid item" turned around to face her. It was the young Chinese boy from before, his eyebrows raised in an amused glance.
She blushed as she thought of how stupid that sounded. "Well, I mean, I wasn't thinking I was kinda asleep. And it didn't really occur to me that, you know, "it" was alive. Not that your an it. Though you might think it was an insult I didn't mean for it to be and-"
Minako stopped when she realized she was only making it worse. By now they were all giving her the "you're-an-idiot" look. She stood up and dusted herself off, trying to compose her flustered mind.
"Where are we?" Minako asked, looking curiously around.
Quatre stepped forward and pointed to the east. "Well we were on our way over there. But since you're awake now we can just take the bus."
That made sense to her. They couldn't very well get on the bus with an unconscious girl. But what was to the east? As if on queue, Quatre explained that question too.
"You see, that's the only way to my house, where we wouldn't end up in jail for assault on a helpless young girl."
The Chinese man snorted.
She nodded and began to walk without saying a word. Talk could wait until they were somewhere more... private.
Her stride was brisk and her mind in deep contemplation. Now that she had her help what was she going to do? And another thing… she now had a minor problem: having a Gundam Pilot for a boyfriend...
'Hah… no big deal. Right?'
She sighed and brushed her fingers through her hair. This wasn't exactly what she had bargained for. But then again love had a way of avoiding her.
It wasn't long until she got to the bus stop. So caught in her musings she walked right by it. It wasn't until she received a yell from Rei that she stopped.
With a blush she turned and got onto the bus. Taking a seat beside Rei, she waited to make plans with her new 'friends'.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Heero sat on the swings. This was where he had first met her with her friends, laughing and talking. When he first saw them he had envied them. They were able to live out their teenage years the way they should.
Minako… she had come over to him. He could tell she was a bit uncertain but there was no glint of fear in her azure eyes. It was unlike anyone he'd ever met. Even Relena had been a little scared of him.
Staring at the ground, he pushed the swing back and forth with his powerful legs. A small smile crept onto his face at the mere thought of her sweet smile. She could brighten even his darkest moods and proved to him that there was something scarier than his scowl. And that was her when she was angry.
For a moment, he let himself remember the wonderful feeling of her lips against his… Then, he let himself sink back into his self-inflicted darkness...
*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Minako, Rei, and four Gundam pilots reached Quatre's house a little later after getting on the bus. Walking into his house they were greeted by a butler. He had gray hair that was balding at the top and blue eyes that were quite bright.
Quatre walked up and hugged him. With a smile he said, "Pagan, my old friend! How's Relena?"
The man, obviously named Pagan, graciously returned the smile and said, "She is well and wishes to know who has captured the heart of her best friend."
"Wow!" Rei said, "Secrets don't stay secrets very long with you people does it?"
Pagan smiled and replied, "The 'people' who you so strangely call are the Gundam Pilots and Vice foreign Minister Dorlain."
Rei blushed in embarrassment. "Sorry."
"Quite alright," he nodded. "It can happen to anyone."
Quatre stepped forward, "Pagan, as good as it is to see you we have some private things to discuss."
"Yes, of course. Might we talk about this a bit later?"
Quatre nodded his head. And, with a few good-byes they were on their way. They made their way through several halls, up the stairs, and again through another hall. Finally they were at the stopping point.
It was a large room, unsurprisingly though. There were five chairs; the one closest to the fireplace was soon being occupied by the Chinese boy, and a couch in front of the television. Minako also noticed a gaming system, which Duo plopped down next to.
Quatre took his seat at a desk in the corner while Trowa sat beside him. Soon, there was one chair left, empty. This particular chair was beside the window with a small desk beside it.
It wasn't too hard to figure out who sat in that chair.
The chair was much like the person who sat in it, considering that it was away from the others, however not too far that it seemed excluded.
'Heero...'
Minako's heart seemed to tighten at the thought of the name. Without saying a word, she went and sat down on the chair that belonged to the silent, once cold, Gundam soldier. The moment she was settled she took a deep breath.
'It even smells of him…'
Glad that no on objected to her actions, Minako rested her back and waited. She noticed Rei was leaning on a vacant corner.
Quatre initiated the beginning of the meeting. "Okay, I think the first most important thing would be the introductions. We'll start with Duo, who I believe already introduced himself. Then go counter clockwise so it will end with me."
With a nod Duo began. "Like I said, the names Duo." And he immediately returned to his racing game he had been occupied with.
Then the gaze focused on the young Chinese Pilot. He looked from the fire for only a brief second. He only offered one word.
"Wufei."
Duo once again paused his game and turned around with a grin. "I just call him Wu-Man. You can too!" With an impish smile he went back to the game.
Wufei glared at this. "Idiot braided-Baka, would you quit calling me that?!"
Unexpectedly, he picked up a book and threw it at Duo who only slightly moved his head to the side without even looking. By the way Quatre looked at the scene, it appeared it was normal for the two to bicker.
Wufie loudly huffed and looked back at Minako."My name is Wufei, NOT 'Wu-Man'." He said the last words with contempt, shooting daggers at Duo.
She only nodded. It was strange, even though he said that with anger it didn't reach his eyes. In fact he looked at Duo, almost fondly. As though he cared for the young man more than he cared to admit.
With a small smile she turned to the tall brunette boy. He didn't even look at her as he gave his name.
"I have no name... But if you must call me something, make it Trowa."
She looked sadly before turning towards Quatre. "And of course your name's Quatre."
Quatre nodded his head. "We've already been discussing the plan," he informed, glancing at the other boys. "We'll need each one of us to use our talents to help and we also need one of us to pose as your boyfriend. Here's the plan. One of us will need to distract Heero, while another sneaks in and makes a counterfeit e-mail from Doctor J. This letter will order him to be at a certain place immediately. The others will need to be using the surveillance camera's to see where they are."
"When he gets there he will see Minako and the fake boyfriend holding hands. This should make him jealous."
He stood up and walked over to the window, a small smile on his face.
"I'll be watching through the surveillance camera. The other two will have head sets so I can tell them whether or not he's coming. He's staying at Relena's and I know the access code for her cameras."
Duo switched off his game. "I don't think Hilde would be too happy to hear I had another girlfriend. And I am pretty good at sneaking so could help at that. I use to survive by stealing food for my friends. I can sneak in and get the fake email on."
"Yes Duo, that can be your job," Quatre said. "Trowa is good at acrobatics so we can put him on the really risky stuff like the distraction. Which leaves..."
"No!"
"Wufei, please." Quatre begged.
"You have to! You're the only one left!" Duo insisted, his face brightening up at the thought of the Chinese pilot 'dating'.
'Oh no!' Minako thought.
Once again Minako met another bump in the road. She watched as Wufie jumped out off his chair and tried to run out of the room. Duo and Trowa quickly followed behind and managed to tackle him before he could get away.
Through all the struggling and yelling they finally convinced him to say yes, which he said more than happily. Of course… they did have to take his ponytail and put scissors to it first...
