Chapter 19
It was calm and peaceful while the couple laid there together cuddling. Usagi slowly opened her eyes and looked at the alarm clock that was right next to the bed. She gasped and quickly got up.
"5:45p.m! oh I'm going to be late for dinner" wailed the ditz.
As she pushed herself up, she put a lot of pressure on Duo's chest making his eyes go big and cry out in pain. Usagi screamed at the surprise scream as well and she tripped on the bed sheets that were touching on the floor making a big thud in the room. Quatre looked down the hallway with Luna both blushing thinking they were doing something else.
"I'm sorry Duo!" apologized Usagi as she sat up on the floor
Duo grunted in pain and looked at Usagi with one eye, "Don't worry about it"
"Are you hurt?" asked Usagi kneeling against the bed checking Duo's body out.
"I'm fine, but you better get going. Heero and the others will be returning shortly and your going to be late" said Duo under his breath.
Usagi kissed his hand, "I promise I'll return again" and she stood up
Duo smiled at her, "I'll be here waiting"
Usagi returned the smile and walked out of the room and gently closed the door behind her. Duo laid his head back on the pillow and closed his eyes to get some rest. Usagi walked down the hallway carefree and looked at Luna and Quatre.
"C'mon Luna" and Luna jumped on her shoulder and laid there. Usagi walked up to Quatre, "Thanks Quatre, for everything"
"Don't mention it. But I suggest you leave right away because the others should be here any minute now" advised Quatre and he walked Usagi to the door and opened it for her.
Usagi said her goodbyes and left quickly with Luna. "What were you doing in the room with him?" asked Luna as she was running.
"Nothing! Get your mind out of the gutter Luna" yelled Usagi as they reached the elevator. Within 5 minutes they finally reached the lobby of the apartment building and ran out of the door. As Usagi and Luna were both running, they ran passed Heero, Trowa and Wufei as they were entering the building. Wufei quickly turned around and knew right away it was Usagi. "It's Usagi!" he cried out. The others quickly turned around as well and were shocked.
"She probably went to go see Duo" commented Heero
"And Quatre is too nice of a guy.." added Trowa
They all looked at each other and quickly got onto the elevator and went back to their room. They barged in and looked right at Quatre who was sitting on the couch reading a book. "Hey guys"
"Quatre..did Usagi come here?" asked Trowa
Quatre quickly looked to the ground embarrassed, "Yes, she did"
Usagi walked out of the bathroom in her pajama's and was ready for bed. She stretched out her arms and yawned and flopped down onto her bed. It scared Luna who was laying on it.
"Watch it Usagi" snapped Luna.
"Sorry Luna" apologized Usagi and turned off her light and looked out the window looking at the starry sky. She sighed romantically and wished Duo was with her, but she knew it was his friends fault. They were just protecting Duo, but Usagi wouldn't do any harm to him and she knew it. The rest of the boys didn't understand Usagi's life. A shooting star then shot across the night sky and Usagi immediately wished that one day her, Duo and all their friends could all be happy and get along.
Duo was sleeping peacefully until there was a light glowing in his room, it woke him up and he sat up in his bed watching this light turn into a manly image. Duo's eyes got big and he stuttered his words, "M-Malachite"
Malachite stood in front of Duo's bed and gave him his usually glare, "You're responsible for Zoyciete's Death!"
"What are you talking about! It not my fault she disobeyed your Queen's orders" barked Duo.
Malachite walked closer to Duo's bed, "You have quite a mouth on you boy"
"I guess I do, you don't scare the god of death" laughed Duo in Malachite's face.
"We'll see about that!" snapped Malachite and pulled off the silver cross chain that was around Duo.
"My chain!" cried out Duo, "Give it back!"
Malachite laughed, "The jokes on you!" and he sent electric blue lasers at Duo. Duo cried out in pain in his bed as his energy was being sucked out of him. The door opened and there was Trowa standing in the door way, his green eyes grew big as he saw Duo screaming and Malachite after him.
"Duo!" cried out Trowa.
Duo slowly looked at Trowa, "Trowa" winced Duo, "Get out of her before you get hurt too" and Duo collapsed.
Trowa ignored his friends advice and pulled out his gun and fired a bullet at Malachite, but Malachite dodged it and the bullet hit the window causing glass to shatter everywhere. Malachite scooped up Duo in his arms and looked over at Trowa.
"Put Duo down.." demanded Trowa as he aimed his gun right at Malachite about to fire any second.
Malachite grinned, "Want him? Come and get him" and Malachite started to fade away with Duo in his arms. Trowa panicked and started to fire the bullets at Malachite but it was too late. Malachite was already gone with Duo.
Quatre, Wufei, and Heero came into the room, "What's going on? We heard gun shots" asked Wufei.
"Where's Duo?" asked Heero looking around
"And what happened to the window?" pointed out Quatre.
Trowa looked to the ground and picked up a piece of glass, "He's gone"
"Gone! Where to?" asked Quatre.
"That Malachite, came and took him" finished Trowa, "I can't believe I let them get away"
"Where do you think they went?" asked Wufei
"There's only one way to find out" responded Heero as he went to go grab his jacket.
"How?" asked Quatre "We don't have any information about this Malachite guy"
"We don't" started Heero as he opened the door, "But Usagi and her friends do"
A little cheesy yes, but I promise next chapter will be better, R/R please
