Behind Their Backs- Chapter 4- Death thread restrained
Hotaru let the breath she was holding out as the safety clicked back on and the gun was withdrawn. She looked up at the boy through her eyelashes, still not trusting him entirely. His messy brown hair fell into his blue eyes and his shirt was too big for him, probably a nightshirt. He'd look like any other boy his age, turning into a man, if it weren't for the gun still clutched in both fists and the glint in his eyes. He was definitly not an innocent boy, or an innocent man for that matter.
Hotaru didn't even try to get up until he put the gun down. When she did brace her arm against the wall again and began to rise, the man hadn't offered any help; not like she'd taken it, any way. He kept his eyes on her, even as he turned to the staircase. Hotaru glared at him, but said nothing as she stood near the wall.
She didn't want to follow him at first, but felt she might as well and slowly descended down the staircase, knowing fully well that she'd get lost without him and that he could kill her at any time if he wanted too.
Filler chapter, leading up to chapter 5, then chapter 6 where more happens.(Don't get mad at me for this one, folks. I started it right after chapter 3, then finished it after I finished chatper 5. I had forgotten about it, so I'm going to use it as a filler for chapter 4. It leads up to Chapter 5, then chapter 6 where Heero 'stalks' Hotaru, looking for answers. It's going slow, but hang in for the ride. If you flame this chap, it will be ignored considering it's a filler.)
