A/N: I'm posting this chappy just for Sparkles2. I just got a review from her, and thought that I'd put this up to say thanks. THANKIES!
"Hey Quatre! Where are you?" called a braided young man.
"I'm in the library, Duo!" Quatre called back, identifying the braided man as Duo Maxwell, pilot of the Gundam Deathscythe.
Duo ran into the library, skidding to a stop in front of Quatre, nearly knocking the blond over. "Wha'cha doing?"
Smiling, Quatre gestured to the book that lay open on the desk in front of him, saying, "I was reading. Why? Is there anything that you need my help with?"
"Well, I just wanted to ask you something," Duo replied, frowning in concern by now.
"What is it, Duo?" Quatre questioned.
"Well, have you noticed anything strange about Heero lately? I mean, ever since a couple days ago, he's been acting all weird. I would usually say he's stressing about the war, but the war with the colonies ended a few months ago. And he only just started to act weird lately. I tried talking to him about it, but he just said that I couldn't help him. He didn't even glare at me or anything for trying to but into his business. He just said that I shouldn't try to get involved, that what he was dealing with was something more dangerous than either battle or war that we've ever been in together. When I tried to get more out of him, he actually smiled at me and thanked me for being so concerned about him. That's not the Heero I know. The Heero I know wouldn't have told me anything other than to mind my own business. I'm worried, Q-man," Duo explained, his voice worried.
Wide eyed, Quatre queried, "Heero really said all that? Strange. He told me that he would have to leave soon. He said something about going to a place that he might not be able to return from. When I asked what he meant, he just said that he had to go take care of Wing."
Frowning, Duo plopped down into a chair, stating, "Trowa and Wufei said that they'd noticed something strange about Heero too. Wufei told me that Heero turned down a practice fight, which Heero would never do because he's usually so preoccupied with fighting. Also, Trowa was saying that Heero hasn't touched his laptop or hacked into anything since he started to act weird."
"That's definitely strange. But then again, Heero is unpredictable. We've always known that," Quatre commented.
"You got that right. But even though he's unpredictable, he would usually never act like this. Not this extreme anyway," Duo replied.
"That's right. But when have we ever known Heero fully? We know only things he's told us, which hasn't been much, or what he thinks necessary for us to know for missions. He's told us nothing of his personal life, or what he did before the war started, only that he was trained to fight and to be the Perfect Soldier," Quatre said thoughtfully.
"You guys shouldn't worry so much. I'm fine. Also, you and the others will know what I've been doing soon. It is not time for you to know yet."
"Heero! Buddy! How long have you been there?" Duo exclaimed, surprised.
"Why can't you tell us why you're acting so differently?" Quatre questioned.
"When the Keeper says that it is time, you will be told. Before the Keeper gives the order, I cannot say anything else. I'm sorry," Heero replied.
Quatre and Duo watched Heero smile and leave the room. Turning to each other, they said in unison, "The Keeper?"
To Be Continued.
