Overwhelmed
Talon: Hey! Overwhelmed is back up and running. No more evil fangirls trying to threaten me to continue. –sighs in relief-
Akemi: Yeah now a certain fangirl will go after me.
Voice in Relena-calling-heero-type-voice: Akeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeemi!
Akemi: Well I better get going –runs-
Talon: o.O anyway I don't own digimon or gundam wing.
Chapter 6-Rejection
Duo's POV
"Heero! Why did you have to do that for? You practically blew our cover!" I said
enraged knowing he could've killed the very person we came to find. But I couldn't tell
him that exactly.
"That kid could've been threat. We must remove all threats if we are to succeed in
finding Quatre." He said in his monotone and a matter-of-fact voice. I glared at my Koi,
or at least the best I could do at a glare.
However I could not stay mad at my dear Hee-chan for too long. This is Hee-chan we're
talking about. The one who gives the famous "Omae o Korosu" threat. He still hasn't
killed Relena although at times I wish she would.
"Baka! Heero! Come down now! It's Dinner time." I perked up considerably and Heero
just rolled his eyes before exiting the room. That's my Hee-chan! He may seem cold but
he's changed a lot since the War days.
So me being hungry all of a sudden rushed down stairs. I didn't look where I was going
though; so I tripped over a ball and and fell downstairs. Ouch! Who left put that ball
there! I looked up to see Heero smirking; so he did it. That culprit; he knows I can't stay
mad at him for long. So he uses it to his advantage.
I stood up and pouted before thinking; remind me never to do that again. Once I was all
brushed off I ran into the kitchen. Oden! My favourite; I sat down and started eating it as
fast as Inu-yasha eats his ramen.
"Your eating habits still haven't changed I see." A new but familiar voice mused to
himself before entering the kitchen. I looked up and paused; it was trow-trow!
"Hey Trow-Trow"
"Hey"
"Hn"
"…"
After we exchanged our unique greetings; Trowa sat down and ate his food at a normal
pace. When the others started eating again; so did I. I smiled; it was good to see everyone
again. I felt I should turn in early; this way I could get to school early and talk to Quatre.
We both have this project we should do in pairs and I hope could pair up with him.
Quatre's POV
When I got home I mentally slapped myself. Heero might figure it out since he was I was
not afraid. The other pilots and myself are the only ones that can pull that off.
"Hey Tk? What's up? Something must be up because you tripped over the coat rack as
you came in" I sweatdropped and took a small look and saw indeed there was a coat rack
on the floor.
"Sorry Onee-san; it's just that I think Heero might figure out who I was." I quickly
relayed the day's events to him. How ever I excluded the detail about the gun because
that might cause Matt to figure out that I've been feeding him half-truths this whole time.
I couldn't bear to lose the trust I've built up with him since the days of digital world. But
I'm doing this for his protection and knowing him he'll take it the wrong way. I sighed;
best to keep things quiet until fate decides to expel my secret to the world.
"I see," He told me quietly, "Well I suppose what's done is done and that we'll deal with
what happens when the time comes." I nodded and replied grateful for his counsel;
"Onee-chan, Arigatou" However how soothing his words were I knew the only person
that could truly take away my worry is Trowa. But that would mean spilling everything I
learned to hide so well. Duo could probably make me feel better for a while; but when he
leaves, I'll be back to pouting again. I cursed my luck and went to bed; thinking that a
good night's sleep is what I need…
Next day
Duo's POV
I woke up early for once and made some toast. I popped it my mouth; making sure to
chew at least 10 times before putting on my regular uniform and clothes before heading
out the door. I hope I catch up to Quatre I need to talk to him badly.
I retraced my steps from that one time with Wufei and found myself outside his
apartment. I sat on a bench waiting for him to leave and ready to step in if his friends ask
him a barrage of questions on the way out. I have a feeling they will.
"Hey Duo." I heard an all too familiar voice say to me. So I turned around and saw Quat
standing there all ready for school. He must've gotten ready early to elude his friends.
"Hey TK" I flashed him a smile before asking my question, "So you know since we have
that project Ms. Asashi gave us. I was wondering if you would have the honor of being
my partner." I said and looked at him hoping he'd agree.
Quatre's POV
My mind was racing a mile a minute. I knew it would probably be best; if I went with
Hikari, she would try to find out why I was behaving differently. Then if I asked the
pilots or the other's they might find out. Duo was my only option;
"Sure Duo and arigatou." I said and I knew he understood why I thanked him.
"No problem TK, it was the least I could do considering your problem" He replied but I
wondered how he always hit the problem right on. I guess maybe it's because I stayed
with them for about a year. Yes that had to be it; I smiled to myself, Duo was being well
Duo and his antics could not help but bring a laugh. The rest of the walk to school was
uneventful except for me dodging behind some bushes or something each time I saw the
digi-destined.
I know I'll have to face them someday but today is not that day. Not if I can help it at
least.
FF to class
Once Duo's name was called for partner's he called my name. Once again he hasn't lied
to me. But this has brought on another problem. What if Heero and Duo had a row
because he gets suspicious of Duo? It would be my fault yet Duo would stick beside me. I
took a quick glance at Heero and saw a quick look of anger sent my way before replaced
by the neutral look of the perfect solder. I avoided his gaze and turned to the front when
the teacher chose this time to bring Trowa into the classroom.
I gulped being nervous. Here comes my koi; I must keep a hold of myself. Takeru
Takaishi has never met Trowa Barton in his life. It wouldn't do well to run up and give
him a hug. It was difficult but luckily the teacher placed him at the other side of the
classroom. I sighed in relief and turned to Duo who had the same look. He looked at the
suspicious Heero and turned the look to one of sadness. I rolled my eyes; Duo is such a
good actor.
When Lunch break came I was practically whisked away by someone. I looked ahead and
saw it was Heero. What could he want?
"I'm onto you." He said and those words were filled of suspicion and anger. Did I blow
my cover already? I couldn't have; remembering my aniki's words. Oh well; when in
doubt play dumb.
"What are you talking about?" I said hoping it was about what I thought it was.
"I know you; I'm going to find out who though. If you're an OZ or White Fang solder
you're dead." He makes that statement so often it's starting to bore me. When he saw I
didn't reply (probably thought from shock); he walked away leaving my in my thoughts.
Duo's POV
I ran up to see the lone figure of Quatre sitting on a bench. What could make him sit there
staring at nothing. I walked up to him; hoping Heero did not confront him.
"Hey" I said making him jump
"Oh Hi Duo!" He said, enthusiasm returning from the grave. "I just had a talk with
Heero."
Kuso! My fears have become a reality. But instead of voicing my fear I just asked, "What
did he say?" I looked at him and saw him break out into a soft laugh. The laugh that only
Quatre possessed.
"Oh nothing really. All he thinks is that I'm a spy from OZ or the white fang hiding
away." He broke out into that laugh again, "He says he's on to my but he's not even
close." Surprisingly I start laughing too; being with Quatre again really has taken the
stress load off me and I feel more complete having everyone around again.
"Hey Takeru!" I groaned recognizing that voice; it was Hikari's. Quatre must have
recognized it too since he jumped at the name. Once she got here she decided to ask
something;
"Umm TK could I speak to you alone right now?" I sighed mentally; it would look to
suspicious if he said 'Iie'. Quatre gave a questioning look and I nodded hai in response.
"Sure." He said none to enthusiastic. I walked off and at the last moment jumped into a
tree. Quatre saw this and relief seemed to wash over him.
"TK I kept this hidden from you so long. I don't think I should've because now I feel all
confused inside."
"What is it Kari?" He said trying not to sound angry at her arrival.
"Well I…I love you Takeru and I hope you will return my feelings." Itai! This is going to
be hard on Quat because he hates breaking people's hearts.
"Kari-chan, Gomen; I cannot return you're feelings. I hope we can still be friends
though." He never got a reply because she ran off with a broken heart.
I jumped out of the tree and walked back to Quatre only to hear a; "Sorry Duo; I need to
be alone right now." I nodded in understanding and went towards Heero to do what koi's
do and maybe get him to spill what he said to Quatre. This is a really bad day…
Talon: Finally done!
Akemi: Yup! Now fire won't send one of her muses after you.
Talon: I know it's so YAY-ish. By the way where's the fangirl AKA Tails?
Akemi: I shook her off when she saw a certain yami.
Talon: me?
Akemi: Nope Yami-Vixen
Talon: Poor Tail's and about the Kari-chan thing. Quatre's just trying to be formal before he breaks Kari's heart. Sorry Takari fans.
