Chapter 5
Wufei cringes at the voice he hears, something in the back of his mind tells him that he heard that voice before. He looks at Heero and sees the look on his face, it's obvious that Heero doesn't like the woman whose standing at the top of the steps, dressed all in pink.
"Heero, I missed you so much!" The woman says as she rushes down the steps.
"Relena…" Heero says in a flat voice.
Relena makes her way to him and hugs him, Heero's arms and hands remain at his sides.
Wufei looks up at Trowa, who at this point of fuming, his cheeks are flustered and his eyes are flashing; Wufei is not the only one who notices this.
"Come in everyone." Relena says as she takes a hold of Heero's hand and drags him along behind her.
Trowa takes Wufei's hand in his and follows, everyone else follows right after.
Everyone is led to the living room, they all take a seat and a maid comes in and places refreshments on the table; Wufei gladly pops a few candies in his mouth. Relena is talking to Heero trying to spark up a conversation, but Heero only responds with grunts; Trowa is glaring at Relena, but no one, except Wufei seems to notice. Trieze goes upstairs to get something. Soon, Relena gives up with Heero and turns to everyone else.
"So, how have all of you been doing?" Relena asks.
"We've been doing fine." Duo answers.
Relena is about to ask Wufei a question, when Heero finally speaks.
"Wufei's mute." Heero says.
"Oh…" Relena murmurs.
Just then, Trieze comes down the stairs with a small box in hand, he walks up to Wufei.
"This is for you." Trieze says as he hands Wufei the present.
Relena smiles, while everyone else glares at Trieze, Wufei opens the box.
A wide smile comes to his face at what he sees; Trowa looks at it in amazement. Inside the box is a little broach in the shape of a sword; made of silver, gold, and diamonds. Wufei tugs on Trowa's sleeve, signaling that he wants help to put it on.
Trowa takes the broach out of the box and pins it on Wufei's shirt. Wufei smiles as he looks at it; he gets up and makes his way over to Trieze, hugs him and kisses him on his cheek. Everyone looks on in shock, Trieze just smiles and kisses Wufei's forehead.
"Glad you like it Dragon." Trieze says.
Wufei shivers.
"Wufei, are you okay?" Trieze asks.
Wufei nods and makes his way back to his seat next to Trowa.
"When do we get to see Zechs?" Quatre asks.
"You won't get to see him today." Trieze says. "He says that he doesn't feel well and doesn't want to pass whatever he's catching to anyone."
Wufei frowns and pouts.
"You want to see him?" Trieze asks Wufei.
Wufei nods.
"I'll go up and see if he'll make an acceptation for you." Trieze says, again he gets up and goes upstairs.
Everyone waits for a few moments. Relena, once again, tries to spark up a conversation with Heero; then, her hands start moving, when they touch Heero, he gets up and sits next to Trowa; Trowa smiles.
Trieze comes back.
"Wufei, if you want to see him; you can come now." Trieze says.
Wufei jumps up and follows Trieze; Heero goes right after him, so does Trowa; leaving Duo and Quatre with Relena. (Oh boy…)
The three make their way to the third floor, Trieze leads them down a hallway; telling them that Zechs room is in a secret location that only a few people know.
"How is Zechs, besides being sick?" Trowa asks.
"He's been an emotional wreck." Trieze says. "The doctors say that it's from all the abuse that he received."
They arrive in front of the room.
"Zechs wants to see Wufei only." Trieze says. "He'll only be a few minutes."
Heero and Trowa hesitantly nod.
"You can go in now Wufei." Trieze says to Wufei softly as he opens the door.
Wufei nods and steps in.
When Wufei enters, he sees that the room is dark. All of the curtains are drawn over the windows and the only light within the room is a lamp with a dim light bulb.
"Wufei?" A voice calls.
Wufei turns and sees that someone is on a bed; he sort of has to squint to see the person.
"Wufei, come here, it's me Zechs." The voice says.
Wufei quickly makes his way to the bed and jumps on it, diving into Zechs' arms; Zechs wraps his arms around Wufei in a hug.
"Are you okay?" Zechs asks Wufei.
Wufei only nods.
"You can't speak, can you?" Zechs asks.
Wufei shakes his head and buries it into Zechs' shoulder.
"Don't worry; you'll be able to talk soon, if you only try." Zechs says.
Wufei smiles.
"Has he spoken to you anymore?" Zechs asks.
Wufei shakes his head.
"Good." Zechs says. "If he ever tries to contact you, stay away from him. Nothing good ever comes from him."
Wufei nods in agreement.
"I have something for you." Zechs says as he reaches over to a drawer and fishes something out, a small long box. "Hope you'll like it."
Wufei takes the box in his hands and smiles at his second gift, this one is a bracelet; a thin golden chain with a little W diamond charm on it.
"Do you want to put it on now?" Zechs asks.
Wufei nods and gives the box back to Zechs. Zechs takes the bracelet out of the box and puts it onto Wufei's wrist. Wufei looks down at it in awe as it shines in the dim light.
Zechs smiles at Wufei for liking the gift; then he yawns.
"I'm tired Wufei, you should get back to the others now." Zechs says.
Wufei gives Zechs a kiss on his cheek, he walks over to the room door and before he heads out he waves bye to Zechs, he opens the door and steps out.
Trieze, Heero, and Trowa are outside of the room waiting for Wufei. When Wufei exits the room, he flashes them a big smile and shows off the bracelet.
"Nice…" Trowa says. "We've got to go now."
From how serious Trowa's voice is, Wufei can tell it's something important.
The three make their way downstairs, about half way down, they can hear Relena talking.
When they arrive in the living room, they see that Quatre and Duo are trying desperately not to fall asleep as Relena keeps rambling.
"Guys, the Preventors called, Une needs to speak with us." Trowa says.
"Oh, sorry Relena, maybe we can continue another time." Duo says as he stands.
"Yes, we're so sorry." Quatre says as he follows Duo's actions.
Everyone says their goodbyes and leave quickly.
It doesn't take long for the limo to drive the five to the Preventors office. When they arrive, they see that officers are leaving the building. The G-boys get out of the car and rush inside.
Once inside, they see Une.
"Une, what's going on?" Trowa asks.
"There has been an explosion downtown; this is expected to be a terrorist attack of some sort." Une says.
"We'll be there soon, but who's going to keep an eye on Wufei?" Duo asks.
"I'll keep an eye on him; you guys should be there for only about an hour or two." Une says.
"Alright…" Heero says.
"Wufei, be good." Trowa says, and then he and the others are off.
"You don't remember me, do you?" Une asks.
Wufei shakes his head no.
"Well, don't worry; everything will be okay as long as you don't cause any trouble." Une says. "Follow me."
Wufei quickly follows Une, watching in amazement as all the people run around doing different tasks. All of them too busy to even notice Wufei.
An hour later; at the explosion crime scene…
Heero's POV
When I got over here, all I saw was police officers, firemen and women, and paramedics surrounding a burning building. Now, all I see is a huge pile of rubble, the building was burnt to the ground; so far, twenty dead bodies are found and there are more missing. I'm looking around to see what I can find that will point out who caused the explosion to this department store.
"Heero, over here!!!" Duo yells.
I rush over to see what he has found.
"What is it?" I ask.
Duo hands me a broken sword, everything but the handle is in bad shape.
"I know this symbol." Duo says pointing to the handle.
I look down at the handle and I see something etched in gold that looks like a burning rose.
"The Dead Rose Clan." I whisper.
To be continued…
The Dead Rose Clan, what's that?
Did they cause the explosion?
What will the others do about?
Who was Zechs talking about?
Please send me reviews!!!
