Dou sat on an examining table swinging his legs back and forth. He really hated hospitals and Doctors. Since he knew Sally it eased the nerves some, but mainly he was about to break a really big command. Know one was to know his dark secret. He was lucky the Doctor let Hotaru and Haruka go. If not he would have been forced to kill them both. Now he was about to tell Quatre and risk the blonde's life as well all because his conscience was bugging him.
Dou stiffened when the door began to open. He didn't like this room but it was the only one he could use to ensure that no one listened in, Doctors or others. It held no windows and was bare except for the table. The Preventor Doctors used it when they were doing a serious operation; usually for the bad guys they caught who got wounded. This way no one could kill them off before they squealed. The room was deep underground; no radio signals could come in or out. It had its own power source for the lights and for the equipment brought in. no cameras were inside unless brought in and used to tape an operation. There were also a few feet of concrete and steel/gundaimum that separated it from the upper world as well as the earth.
A head poked around the door and smiled. Dou smiled back.
"Hotaru-chan, I wondered were you got. Come in."
Little Hotaru giggled and skipped over to him. Dou helped her up onto the high table.
"So what have you been doing?"
Hotaru looked up at him and smiled. "I was at school until Papa came and got me a few minuets ago. I had so much fun. Today we had to get ready for the seventh grade play. We perform in a month at the Festival. The play is to represent the war. Instead of Mobile Suits we are using knights in shining Armor. I get to play DeathSythe. Your are not going to believe who is playing Relina, the princess."
Dou smiled at Hotaru rambled on. He was glad Haruka had sent her in. it helped calmed his nerves. He looked back down when she stopped. Hotaru was looking back up at him.
"You want to know why don't you? You want to know why I followed you here?"
Dou numbly nodded his head. Hotaru looked forward and smirked.
"You should know that already. You and Chibi Usa were the first to look at me and be unafraid. You befriended me when no one else could. With out either one of you Mistress 9 would have taken over and I wouldn't have cared. I would have died." She looked up with tears. "But I didn't. You risked your life to save me. You even prevented me from dieing once I dropped the silence. I am for ever bound to you and will never leave your side." She closed her eyes and stuck her nose in the air. "Besides you are a clumsy loud mouth and with out me you would get nothing done."
Dou was touched to almost tears but face faulted with her last sentence. Once he picked himself up from the floor he pinned her to the table and began to tickle her till tears began. Haruka walked into the room and chuckled at the scene.
"Sorry to interrupt but Winner-san has just arrived." Dou nodded and let Hotaru up. She jumped down and ran over to give Haruka a hug. Before going out the door she gave one last look to Dou.
"Remember what I said." Dou nodded. Haruka shook his head.
"I will be back down with Sally and Winner-san." Once the door closed Dou sighed and fell back onto the table. This would take more courage than he had.
Quatre stood between Sally Po and Haruka in an elevator. Sally had brought a medical satchel filled with equipment meant for a check up. He was surprised when Sally explained where they were going. Dou wasn't hurt, he hoped, but if the secret he had was this big who knows what could come from it. Thoughts rose in his mind though. Most of it turned to the war Dou had told him of that maybe in their future. A ping sounded off the elevator stopped. Once opened they were confronted with a hallway with a door at the end.
Quatre swallowed the lump in his throat and pushed his uneasiness down. Dou was behind that door and Dou was his friend. Friends don't turn on friends in need. Sally took the lead down the small hall.
Dou heard the elevator and stiffened. This was it. Here he would find out what his next moves were to be. Erase some memory or, with a smirk showing, pop up at his own leisure and fun.
The door opened and the three walked in. Dou's famous smile spread across his face.
"Hey Q-man wasn't sure if you were going to make it. Took ya long 'nough."
Relief echoed through Quatre once he found Dou well. He returned the smile.
"My apologies Dou. I had a bit of a time getting away with out one of the others following along." Dou raised an eyebrow.
"How did you get away?" a blush was evident on his face.
"I tricked them and I sneaked out." Dou began to laugh.
"Trowa is going to kill you once you get back. You better be careful when you do leave. He will have the 40 and all of the Preventors looking for you."
Quatre and shook his head. It was scary how true that was. Sally placed her kit next to Dou.
"I suggest we get this started. I have a feeling I will be treating Quatre before I have to give you physical."
Dou nodded and smiles sadly before turning to Quatre. He could see Haruka leaning against the wall next to the door ready to take action if need be. With a nod from Haruka he knew he could begin. There was no way of anyone finding out his secret or that he was telling. He took a deep breath and began.
"I suppose you want to hear my secret?" a short nod from Quatre was his answer. "I hate to lie so much, but there is one skeleton in my closet. See I have been lying about whom I am." He saw Quatre tense. "Don't get me wrong I am still Dou Maxwell but it is my appearance so to speak."
"What on earth are you talking about, Dou?" Quatre snapped out.
"My appearance is not what you see it to be. I was told that this would be my face for the war. This is what everyone believes Dou Maxwell looks like. But it isn't. I was made to look this way from the minuet Solo took my under his wing. Would you like to see the real me?"
Quatre numbly nodded. A light filled the room. Once it died down someone else sat in Dou's place. Still wearing the same cloths a female sat before him. Blue eyes that darkened to black, bright blonde hair in the same style as Dou's. His eyes traveled up and down her from till he realized he was looking at a she and blushed. He blinked a few times and rubbed his eyes. No matter what a female was in Dou's place. He let out a small-strangled laugh before fainting.
Dou sighed and hopped down to give Haruka a hand with getting Quatre upon to the table. Sally wouldn't be any help she was leaning on the table laughing. She still thought it funny since the first time she found out.
Quatre finally came to groaning.
"Hey Q-man you alright?"
Quatre grinned not fully awake. "I am fine Dou. I just had the weirdest dream." He opened his eyes to come face to face with unfamiliar blue once staring back. What was in those blue eyes were familiar though. Quatre's eyes flew open and he gave a yelp before rolling off the table and placing it in between him and this stranger who claimed to be Dou.
"Whoa, Quatre chill out. It is still me the Dou Maxwell you know only I changed a bit."
Quatre's eye narrowed but before he could speak back a hand was placed on his shoulder. He followed it up to see Sally looking down at him.
"She is right. You can even look at their blood. It matches. I had a hard time believing it the first time. Listen to her story first and then judge." Quatre relaxed a little and turned back to the supposed Dou who had seated her self onto the table legs in Indian style.
"An explanation would be good."
Dou nodded. "I suggest you sit down or something. This may take awhile." Once Quatre had seated his self on the opposite end of the table Dou began. "The first memory I am ever able to remember is screams, explosions a lot of fire smoke and someone telling me to run. The next is when I meet up with Solo. He saved me. A little girl running around in the streets was fair game. Especially a girl under the age of ten, scared, defenseless and in a really expensive dress only upper class was known to wear at that time. Solo saved me and became like a big brother to me. He had me hid the fact I was a girl. I was less likely to be attacked. Though you did find those few. In short I dressed like a boy, talked like a boy, played, walked breathed boy. Since I was so young I hadn't developed so when we found a pond or something we could take a bath in I had no problems with taking off my shirt. I looked like the others. A young boy nearly starving and dirty. Then the plague came and I went to the Church. Even then I was able to hide I was a girl. Besides girls had to wear those dresses. I worn a few when Solo and me would go alone to try and get food. I hated them."
Dou smiled in memory of the good times though tears slowly came down her face. "The soldiers came and the Church was burnt down to the ground I survived. I became a sweeper after that. I found a boy could get farther in life than a girl."
She smirked and glanced at Haruka briefly.
"Then I met the good old Doctor of DeathSythe. I fell in love with the machine and stayed around to help build it. The Doctor was impressed with my skills and began to train me with a few others. What was odd was not once did he do a physical on me. In the end of the training he had the other two killed off and decided to go with me. That was when he found out my secret. He was so in raged. I couldn't move for two weeks. There was no time to train another so he stuck with me. I was to never show anyone my secret. If any learned it they were to die." She took a deep breath and looked directly at Quatre.
"I thought once the war was over I could tell you, all of you. I was about to. Things came up and then the Doctors entered back into my life and that order still holds. My Doctor was ashamed of me and knew if the others found out he would be killed and me. Let just say Heero and me have a lot in common and I already know J would have a field day with me. Heero wasn't the only one they brainwashed. I am like him many ways except I have my emotions. That is why we are here in this room. I am under constant surveillance. If the other Doctors were to learn of this it would not be pretty. Also if he found out I told you I would have to kill you or commit suicide. I don't plan on dying any time soon I don't plan on killing any of you."
Quatre and Dou continued to stare at each other. Finally Quatre dropped his gaze and shook his head.
"It is true. There is no doubt that you are Dou. My space heart tells me as well."
Dou grinned. "Hey you know you are not the only one with that ability. I just don't have your problem."
Quatre rubbed his temples. To was a lot to take in. a thought occurred to him.
"Dou, you said you came from a rich back ground because of that dress of yours. What if we looked through the database of the L2 cluster and see if we can find your family?"
"Already done Q-man. My parents died in the blast." Quatre couldn't believe all the boy er girl had been through.
" I did find my name though." Quatre picked his head up at this. Dou looked at him and pouted. "You won't laugh when I tell you." Quatre shook his head.
"Usagi, my name is Usagi Tenoh. The youngest child of the Tenoh family."
Quatre turned to Haruka and got a small nod. He frowned.
"The Tenoh's are Japanese. You are American." Dou/Usagi poked his nose.
"You are wrong there. The boy version of me is American but in reality I am full blooded Japanese." Quatre's eyes widened with horror.
"You understood all those things Heero and Wufei said to you then." a big grin plastered across Dou's face.
"I understood you as well. It was part of my training to learn languages. I know most of them." a tick began on her face. She finally turned to Sally behind her.
"Will you quit laughing already?"
Sally constantly giggled to her self till Dou told her real name now she was full out belly laughing.
"I am sorry, but I keep seeing Wufei's face when he finds out." She began to laugh harder and looked at Haruka for help.
"We were discussing it earlier Kenoko and we realized the self proclaimed Shinigami is nothing but a itty, bitty, tinny winy bunny rabbit."
Quatre broke out into laughter with Haruka and Sally while Dou sat fuming with a pout. Maybe telling the name wasn't a good Idea.
