Behind Their Backs

Hotaru yawned, turning a corner. It had been a long night, but finally her shift- not to mention Hilde's- was finished and she couldn't be happier. Now she was in her small car, speeding down a empty highway in the middle of a brewing storm. Not really the best place to be, but she really wanted to get home so she ignored the warning signs of the storm getting severe.

Duo yawned some. He was driving himself and his three friends and fellow Gundam Pilot's home. "Hey guys, maybe we should have checked the weather channel before leaving...It looks like a hurricane out there." Duo commented.

"Or worse." Wufei added mildly. "Be we'll live. We've been through worse situations in worse weather."

"That's true."

A few hours passed. A car came into view ahead of the four boys' car. It didn't seem to be fairing well in the bad weather, it was one of the kind built for getting a person from one place to another and little else. Safety was an issue. Quatre was worried at once, like he usually gets, but the other g- boys weren't worried until...
Hotaru could barely see for two reasons. One was her eyes were half-closed and she had trouble keeping them open as sleep crept into her mind, and two the rain was so thick she couldn't see the road. Her headlights got lost in gray rain and blackness.

Hotaru tried to force her self awake, with little effect. It was even more impossible for her see as sleep gained on her. The disabilities of her cars safety system and the fact that she was almost asleep left only one option, one Hotaru was too tired to realize. Blackness obscured her vision completely as her car began to rock and turn, since the driver was no longer driving.
The car in front of the G-boys swerved out of control as it drove onto the bridge. It started spinning and came up on its back wheels, flipping four times before hitting the side of the bridge and hanging there. It would have been easy for the car to tip and fall into the black waters below, with the occupant still inside.

Duo hit the breaks and swerved some, coming to a stop and unbuckling his seatbelt. "Come on, we have to help that person!"

No one seemed to disagree as they all hurried towards the car, hoping to god they could get to it before it fell over into the ocean. The person inside was probably already squashed, but if there was something they could do then it they were going to do. There was no way they were going to let someone die.
The collision with the bridge jolted Hotaru awake. Pain shot through her body. She open her mouth into a scream, but no sound came out. Her arm was twisted at a sickening angle, and she could feel pain in her leg, but she couldn't see what was wrong with it because of the air bag, which was currently suffocating her.

"Hmmpphhhh!" Was all she managed to say. She could feel the car rocking, and since it was up at an angle it was probably about to tip onto something...a road down below, in which case she'd be smashed, an ocean, in which case she'd drown, or maybe it wasn't over something. She hoped it wasn't. She didn't want to die, not yet...

Duo reached the car first. He could see a figure through the smashed window, and could faintly here the figure 'hmphing' as the air bag strangled him or her.

Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei arrived a few minutes after. Quatre had a flashlight and shined it inside. The figure has short black hair plastered to her forehead with blood. From what Quatre could see, she had an arm broken in more than one place and most likely a slight concussion. It was was hard to see the person in the dark.

"Who gives a fuck what's wrong with her, we gotta get her out before she either suffocates, or the car falls into the ocean!" Duo growled and began wrenching at the door, cutting his hands on jagged pieces of glass in the process.

The others soon helped and manged to pry the smashed door off its' hinges. The girl inside had lost consciousness, making it both easier and harder to get her out of the car. They had to be careful of her arm, but successfully pried her from the car without hurting her very much.

"What should we do with the weak onna?" Wufei commented, although in a different tone than his usual 'men-own-all-women-and-are-better-than-them' one.

"Take her to my mansion? All the main rodes are closed, so we can't get her to a hospital, and there are medical supplies at the mansion." Quatre gave reasons for her to go so no one, like Wufei, would argue. All agreed. Duo carried her to the car, and they were back on the road driving again...
Okay, I'm sorry, this chapter is boring and slow. And pretty much only Duo and Wufei talk... heh. Don't worry, the others will start talking more soon and then Hotaru will get to meet Heero next chapter. This is just the beginning. Dun,dun,dun... Oh, and sorry if it took long to update, I went to my friends' house this weekend.

Thanks to all reviewers! - You guys truly rock. Especially you, Damia. I'm glad you relate to the story 'n stuff.
