It was then he shot Knives and ran, ran as fast as he could. Quatre and Knives may be brothers, but Quatre defended life in all forms. He tragically discovered that the weapon Knives had fashioned him was a human massacre machine. So Quatre had wondered from town to town.
"So here I am." Quatre finished his narrative.
Billy was drunk off his butt and trying to hit on Mako. "Hic, hey you got a pretty nice rack there!"
Mako smacked him "Hentai!" Duo glared
"Are you hitting on her houshi I swear I'll.."
Mako hugged him. "Iie it's alright."
Quatre looked at Usagi curiously. "Why are you following me anyway?"
The commander in Usagi popped out again. "Because you've been causing damage and it's my job to put a price on it!"
Mako sighed, "She had no idea how to express her feelings." Mako tried to explain to Quatre.
Usagi gave her the death glare. " What was that?"
Mako sweatdropped. "Nothing sempai."
Billy sat down on the steps. "SSDD (Same s different day), that's all today is." Quatre raised an eyebrow. "I don't want to know what that means."
It was later at night and Usagi was secretly mulling over what Quatre had told her. She had no idea he's been through so much in his life. A black neko stretched lazily on her desk. Her computer was blinking briskly, but Usagi wasn't paying attention. "The way you dodge those bullets it's inhuman!" Usagi heard the echo of Trowa's voice. There was something strange about the way Quatre could sense things so quickly, if it had been her she'd have been dead. 'Poor Quatre, he deserves some kindness.' Usagi inwardly blushed. 'I can't think of him like that, keep it professional!' Usagi thought. Mako then walked in with a plastered stupid grin.
"Um sempai are you okay? Your eyes look glazed." Mako questioned.
Usagi shook herself out of her daze. "Nani? Oh yeah I'm fine. Just tired."
Mako nodded. "Mr. Quatre is out there all by himself maybe you should go talk to him." Mako suggested.
Usagi quickly turned away to hide some embarrassment. "I'm sure the big idiot can take care of himself." Mako smirked; she knew Usagi liked him even if she wasn't going to admit it.
Duo had followed Billy and Quatre to the bar. "Just try it man what have you got to lose?" Quatre sighed and downed a shot of tequila. "Bloody hell that stuff is strong! Give me another shot!" Quatre grinned stupidly.
Duo shook his head. "I don't think that's a good idea, you can get drunk awful fast with that stuff." Duo advised. Quatre ignored him. Duo followed a very spaced out Quatre and a very smug Billy to the outskirts of town.
"So Duo you going out with that shorter insurance girl?" Billy asked.
Duo looked surprised at his question. "Hai, and if you do anything to her houshi I will kick your butt."
Billy leaned against his cross. "I really should check on that orphanage I started."
Quatre hiccupped. "I'd like to find out where Legato is. I have a feeling he's behind the recent murders." Usagi on the meanwhile was having trouble sleeping.
"Hey you need an excercism here?" A man with slicked black hair and a robe appeared a heavily armored woman behind him.
"Uh I don't think so." Usagi eyed the monk suspiciously.
The monk smiled. "Ah don't lie a demon haunts your soul!" Usagi wondered if she could borrow the clad woman's boomerang.
"Houshi-sama quit trying to get free room and board." The demon slayer grabbed the monk by the ear. A boy who looked half dog and half man appeared beside a woman with raven hair and a short skirt.
"Miroku are you praying on unsuspecting villagers again?" The woman in the skirt accused.
Miroku looked innocent. "Who me? Why never!"
Mako walked outside. "Did I miss a party?"
The whole party looked at her. "Oh sorry we're demon hunters and looking for sacred jewel fragments. We heard there was one in this town. This is Sango, Miroku, Inuyasha, Kagome, Kirara, and Shippo." The woman named Kagome introduced everyone. Mako waved.
Inuyasha cursed "Kudaba more humans."
Kagome glared at him "Oswari!"
Inuyasha hit the dust. "Wrench!" He called out.
Duo walked to Mako. "Hey babe what's sup?"
Miroku eyed Duo wearily. "What's with the braid that's just weird."
Duo snorted. "What are you kidding it's awesome plus my girlfriend digs it." Mako smiled. There were gunshots on the outskirts of town. Usagi looked alarmed. "Mako that could be Quatre we have to go!"
Mako nodded. "Hai, let's go." They took off leaving a very confused band of shard hunters and Duo behind.
Quatre slowly reached for the pistol kept at his side. " You little chicken you always are ducking behind someone aren't you." A man in what looked like knight's armor clutched two guns big as cannons.
"Who are you, what do you want?" Quatre questioned.
The man smirked. "Who am I? I am WuFei Chang, the fourth of the Gung-Ho Guns." He fired a shot, which hit Quatre promptly in the shoulder. Quatre winced in pain.
"Whom are you working for!" Quatre inquired again.
WuFei fired four more shots. "I have orders from my master. I'm supposed to bring you in alive. As for the humans I can kill all of them if I want."
Quatre looked horrified. "Iie! I won't let you kill them!" Two other Gung-Ho guns appeared behind WuFei. "
Will you shut your mouth and finish the job before we finish you off." WuFei sneered.
"Think you're so smart do you Kikiyo and Vicious?" The last man had a raven on his shoulder and looked like he'd been drug through hell and back.
"Our master said this baka killed Naraku last week." Kikiyo huffed.
All of them cocked their guns at the same time.
Just then, Billy showed up. "Three against one, a little against the rules don't you think."
They all smirked. "What are you going to do about it, throw enchantments at us?"
Billy winked. "Oh no I've got something better." He ripped the paper off his cross to reveal a huge gun. He started shooting wildly.
"Wait a second, don't kill them!" Quatre said alarmed. Billy ignored as the Gung-Ho guns began to run.
Billy ran after them shouting "You bastards get back here and fight!" The chase came to a halt at a cliff. The guns were raised and breath hung still in the air. The Gung-Ho guns looked at one another.
"Billy don't Rehm said there was always another way!" Quatre pleaded. Billy shook his head.
"Sorry needle noggin, but I'm not much for delicate matters." Billy replied. Before Billy could fire the first shot all the Gung-Go Guns raises their guns to their temples and shot each other. "
Iie!" Quatre's haunting cry rang out through the night. Billy let his gun drop to the floor as the blood of the assassins pooled at their feet. Usagi and Mako arrived and gasped in horror. Quatre was muttering, "I failed to save somebody again." Mako swallowed hard, and Usagi stood silent. Kagome and mina-san assayed the scene.
"We were wrong Inuyasha, there's no jewel shards here." Inuyasha's eyes rested on the Gung-Ho gun called Kikyo. "I can't believe she was really lying to me." Inuyasha whispered. Kagome looked at him and hugged him. Kikiyo was dead now, a real kamikaze. Usagi was left on the cliffs of the town to wonder. How much death would be suffered before things finally worked out? She then realized she wasn't alone. Quatre sat a few feet away, feet hanging off dangerously his face in his hands. She touched his shoulder gently.
"Quatre?" She questioned.
"I can't stand it everywhere I go someone gets hurt! I failed to save someone again!" Quatre was silently sobbing.
Usagi looked alarmed. "That wasn't your fault! They were trying to kill you!" Usagi consoled.
Quatre sighed. "There's always another way, everyone deserves a chance to live." Usagi sat down beside him and began to hum a song. Quatre smiled "That's a nice song."
