Inner Strength
Chapter 11
By: Siren
Authors Note- Enjoy the story, and be sure to review! I also have been wondering something, and I'm going to test it out. I haven't been sure if I should do my chapters in first, or third person narration. With first you get more into the emotions of the person, but with second, it's more like a story, and less like a journal. I'm going to do this chapter in third, and you'll need to tell me what you think I should do. Thanx, Midnight Lady, for being my editor.
Contest- For the person who writes the longest review, I will give them the 'oracle.' That means that this person can ask me one question that they have been wondering, for however long. I will answer the question as simply as possible, so the more complex a question you ask, the more detailed the answer. Just take my advice, and don't ask a question that will ruin the story for you.
Disclaimer- Neither Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon belongs to me. If you ever thought that they did, I can only pity you.

Quatre's Mansion

"So...do any of you know a guy named Heero?" Usagi asked timidly.
Quatre and Wufei shared a long look, unsure of what to say to this strange girl. Fortunately for them, they didn't have to answer the difficult question.
*CRASH* The sound echoed through the room.
"Someone is at the door, I'll go and get it," Quatre said quickly, running out of the room before anyone could say a word.
"I'd better go and see what's going on too," Sonya said, as she rushed after the blonde.
A shout echoed through the room, "There's a girl in this house! Where is she? I know she's somewhere, I can sense her."
Usagi sweat-dropped again. "I wonder who that is..." she asked is a choked voice.
Her question was answered when a brown haired boy with a long braid ran into the room, looking around with a crazed expression of his face. His eyes settled on Wufei, not even seeing the bed. "Hey Wu-man! Do you know where the girl is? Don't even try to hide her from me, I'll find her, you know what a babe magnet I am!" he declared with a goofy smile.
"Don't call me Wu-man, you braided baka! I'll kill you with my bare hands!" Wufei's face was all red as he started slowly advancing towards the brown haired boy.
"Wu-man..." Usagi said softly, a faint smile on her face. "You know, that's a cute nickname. Maybe I'll start calling you that..."
"MAXWELL! Now you've got HER calling me that!" Wufei shouted as he slowly started pulling out his katana, death in his eyes. "Now you'll die nice and slow!!" He ran towards the boy called Maxwell, and got ready to end his pointless life.
Wufei's blade was inches from Duo's neck as he noticed the strange expression on his comrade's face, and the fact that his tongue was slightly hanging out. Duo didn't even seem to notice that Wufei was trying to kill him; the only thing HE was concentrating on was a certain strangely familiar silver-haired, blue-eyed, angel trying, but not succeeding, to sit up on the bed.
"Maxwell! What are you doing!?" Wufei shouted with a strangled expression, his eyes slightly bugging out.
Duo quickly snapped out of it, and his eyes slowly turned to Wufei's katana, still mere inches from his neck. "Wahhhhh," he yelled as he fell over, and started scrambling as far away from the crazy person as he could.
A silvery laugh from the other side of the room made them both stop what they were doing, and stare at the girl. She was sure a strange one. One minute she was quiet, and obviously in pain, and now for some reason she's LAUGHING! What is with her, and who the hell is she!? Everyone in the room thought.
Then her face turned sad once again, with the pain of years in her eyes.
"Thank you so much, you guys. You have no idea how long it's been since I've truly laughed," her smile turned bitter, "how long it's been since I've had reason to laugh," she finished quietly.
Duo just stared at her in shock. That this beautiful angel would not have any reason to laugh...well, that is just horrible! He would have to fix that for sure. The sudden wash of feelings of protectiveness, and the need to make her laugh nearly overwhelmed the boy. The feeling was so familiar though. He felt almost the same feeling of concern for this girl, as for the one he found in the woods. How strange, she even had the same strange silver hair, and the same blue/black eyes, with the silver specks. And she even looked almost exactly like the girl! Isn't that a coincidence? Before his brain could put two and two together, he was distracted.
All three of them pushed aside their inward thoughts in time to see Quatre run into the room, at top speed, with Sonya right behind him.
"Duo. *Pant* What. Are you DOING?" Quatre said, out of breath, and MAD!
"Um...sorry Q-man," Duo started nervously. "I didn't mean to knock you down and everything...I was just so excited to see the girl I sensed. You know how I am with these things..."
Sonya still couldn't get her eyes off Duo. "You...you're the one that came to the hospital with the girl...aren't you?" she asked curiously.
Duo's eyes whipped around to the nurse. "Hey! How are you doing?" Then the situation seemed to register. "Why are you HERE!? I thought that you were taking care of that girl I brought to you. How is she? Is she ok? I thought that I would never know, but now you can tell me," he said, excited to know that fate of the girl that he had brought to the hospital near death, but he thought the whole time that she WAS dead.
Sonya just pointed to the girl on the bed. "Why don't you see for yourself?"
Duo whipped around to look at the girl again, only this time he seemed to recognize her. "YOU! Why didn't I see it before? The silver hair should have been obvious, if I wasn't so out of it..."
Usagi was just staring at Duo, "You're the one who brought me out of the woods?" Duo nodded. "Why?"
Everyone in the room seemed shocked at the question. "Why?" Duo choked out. "Why not?!" then the whole situation seemed to dawn on the poor boy. "Wait a minute...why are you here?" Then he turned to Quatre, who so far had been fairly silent. "Hey Q-man, how did she get to your house? I know that I left her at the hospital!"
"Wufei brought her over," Quatre said simply and shrugged.
"WHAT!" Duo shouted. "Why is she here?!"
"Give me a minute, and let me explain!"
15 minutes later
"WOW!" Duo looked over to the silent girl, a faint hint of pity in his eyes. No one should have to go through all that, but she was here, and she seemed FINE! "Wait a minute, you haven't answered my question yet. Why wouldn't I help you out? It's only the right thing to do. Even Wu-man here helped you!" Duo stated, irritated that she would be so surprised at the help she had received. After all, why not help a pretty girl?
"Why would you help me, when I don't even know you? It's not like there are really people that are kind, still left in this world. All of the truly caring people have learned by now that it doesn't pay to be nice," Usagi answered simply.
Quatre finally stepped up. "That's not true about people. You only think that because I'm sure that you've had a hard life. There really are people that still have souls left in the world," he finished kindly.
Usagi's eyes turned bitter. "I used to be like you, once. Always thinking that everyone had good in them. Once upon a time I was innocent as well. Now I have learned my lesson, and I would prefer it if you would keep your speeches to yourself."
Quatre looked shocked at those harsh words, which came out of the seemingly harmless girl.
"Onna, now that you have put Quatre in his place, I think that it's time that you answered a few questions; such as, who stabbed you?"
"Why, Wu-man," Usagi said innocently, "I did."

CLIFFHANGER! It's about time I had one of those. So remember to tell me if you think I should go back to my old way of writing, or stick with the new way. Maybe I'll even go back and forth depending on the situation. REVIEW!
