Please forgive me if any of the Gundam Wing facts are wrong… I haven't watched it for 7 years, so I remember nearly nothing from it.

Athrun sat quietly beside Kira's bed, reading the article about the attack at the orphanage. It claimed that that the attack was obviously on the Representative of Orb who was currently living in the house. Athrun doubted it. The two unknown Coordinators went for Kira, and didn't even try getting out of the room to look for Cagalli. And then there was the possibility that Kira was the Ultimate Coordinator.

Athrun sighed. "I wish you'd wake up already," he muttered to the sleeping boy. "It's already been 2 days."

The door to the room slowly creaked open. "Hey, it's my shift," Duo said. They were taking shifts staying in Kira's room, making sure that the people who came before wouldn't come again and succeed in kidnapping Kira, especially in this state.

Athrun nodded, and got up from his chair. "Sure. Did Heero get any leads?" Heero was busy on the computer, trying to track down the criminals.

"Nope." Duo carefully fixed Kira's bed sheets. "Quatre's been asking around for suspicious looking men. Still no leads though."

"Dammit," Athrun cursed, and then sighed. "We might need to move out of the orphanage soon. We're endangering the kids and Lacus if the criminals are after Kira."

Duo tilted his head, thinking. "Hm… how about Caitlin's-"

"Cagalli," Athrun interjected.

"Yes, Cagalli's home, mansion, place thing," Duo suggested. "She's the Representative of Orb right? So there should be enough security there."

Athrun nodded. "I'll go ask for permission."

Duo raised an eyebrow. "Permission? You mean there's a possibility that she would refuse her own boyfriend?"

Athrun flushed. "I-I don't know w-what you're t-talking about!"

Duo wiggled his eyebrows. "Sure you don't." Athrun's blush got deeper as he rushed out the door. Duo grinned as he took out his book and started reading.

"My place?" The blonde girl raised an eyebrow, thinking. "Sure, there's nothing wrong with that."

"Alright," Athrun said. "We'll move there as soon as Quatre comes back from questioning the people over at the Orb Super Mall."

"Good," Cagalli said. "I'm pretty sure Lacus would want to come too."

"Right," Athrun nodded, turning around. "I'll go tell her to pack her stuff then."

"Okay," Cagalli said turning around as well. "I need to tell Kisaka about the move."

The pink princess looked up expectantly at the open door. "Yes Athrun? Is there something I can help you with?"

"Oh, we're planning on moving to Cagalli's place for better protection. In case the criminals come back. We thought you might want to come…" Athrun trailed off awkwardly.

"That's very thoughtful of you to consider bringing me," Lacus beamed. "I'll love to go with you."

"Actually, it was Cagalli's idea," Athrun muttered, blushing a bit. "She thought you would like to accompany Kira."

"Well then, I'm glad she brought it up," Lacus said cheerfully. "I suppose we'll be leaving soon?"

Athrun nodded. "Yeah, as soon as Quatre comes back from the Orb Super Mall."

"Alright then," Lacus said, smiling. "I'll go pack my stuff and say good bye to the children."

Athrun nodded and left Lacus to her packing. He took in a deep breath and started towards the orphanage's only computer room. "Maybe I can help him…" He snorted mentally. Right, as if Heero would let him help him. The cold man would probably ignore him and give him the cold shoulder. Athrun could sort of understand Heero. He knew the brown-haired man was protective over Kira, he probably was the most protective one out of all of the five pilots, but he hides his worry better than the others. And according to Quatre and Duo, Kira was found practically dead, with a barely beating pulse. Then Kira had that immense pain attack when he had seen Athrun.

To tell the truth, Athrun felt immense guilt and remorse. He had nearly killed his very own best friend because Kira had killed Nicol. When he first saw Kira, alive and standing, he was in shock, then greatly relieved. He had so much hope that it was indeed his best friend and that Kira would forgive him. That hope was crushed when Kira had screamed and run away as if a mobile suit had its beam rifle pointed at his heart. Athrun was crushed when he had learned that Kira had totally forgotten everything, forgotten even his best friend.

"Whatcha doing there, Athrun?" Dearka's voice brought Athrun from his thoughts. Athrun looked up, so surprised that his eye missed Dearka's foot that was conveniently stuck out in front of him. Athrun tripped ungracefully, but Dearka grabbed his arm and pulled him back up. Athrun glared at the blonde teen. Dearka cocked an eyebrow. "You're getting pretty rusty Athrun. What, you getting old or something?"

"Shut up," Athrun muttered. "I wasn't paying attention, that's all."

"Sure, sure," Dearka snorted. "Admit it; I'm awesome at sneaking up to people."

Athrun rolled his eyes. "I'm sure you are," he said sarcastically. "Anyway, I've got to go. I'll see you around."

Dearka blinked. "Where are you going?"

"Oh right, we haven't told you yet. We're planning on moving to Cagalli's place."

Blink. "Why?"

Athrun sighed, shaking his head with disbelief. "Are you sure you graduated as a red-coat? We're moving to Cagalli's for more protection."

Dearka stared for a moment. Then his eyes lit up in realization. "Oh right! She's the Representative!"

"Smart."

"Oh shut up."

Athrun grinned and waved, continuing his walk to the computer room. He suddenly turned to Dearka. "Aren't you supposed to be back on PLANTs?"

Dearka blinked confusedly. "Why would I be back at PLANTs?"

Athrun sweatdropped. "Your job was to be Yzak's assistant. Doesn't he have some kind of meeting coming up?"

"Yeah, I heard he got somebody to take over for him. His mother appreciated it, she said he had too much to work, and is being overworked. He needs a vacation. Or so his mother said," Dearka said after much thought. "He and I will be sticking around a little longer. We were planning on staying at this expensive hotel."

"Bet you're happy," Athrun grinned. "You get to stay with Milly longer."

"Definitely," Dearka smiled. "Where you heading off to anyways?"

"Seeing if Heero needed any help," Athrun responded.

Dearka snorted. "Yeah, as if he'd accept any help, especially from you."

"I can always try."

"Yeah and get frozen solid with that gaze of his."

"I don't see his problem; I'm trying to be friendly."

Dearka paused, contemplating on whether he should continue on the conversation. "He still doesn't trust you near Kira you know."

Athrun flinched. "Yeah I know," he smiled tensely and sadly. "I'll see you around." He walked off, and couldn't help feeling slightly hurt.

Heero glared at the screen, scowling as it showed nothing of importance to finding the wanted people. He was impressed by the technology here. It probably surpassed the technology in his own time. But, man he was frustrated. He had been searching for hours. He knew it was useless. He knew nearly nothing of this world, except for what Lacus had told them. His enemies were obviously 'Coordinators', trained ones. They could hide off their tracks really well.

He knew he needed help from somebody that knew this land much more than he did. He contemplated on asking the hotheaded white-haired one. He seemed serious enough.

Knock.

Heero turned. "Come in," he said tonelessly. The door creaked open slowly; the person behind it must be hesitant or nervous. Athrun came through, indeed looking uncertain. "What are you doing here!"

"Uh, I was just wondering if you needed any help," Athrun fidgeted.

Heero glared. He didn't exactly want him to help him, but he was offering help… "Fine."

Athrun looked relieved. "What can I help you with?"

Heero rolled his eyes. "Tracking down the idiots." Athrun blushed from embarrassment. "What else? Come here and tell me more about this place."

End of Chapter.

Sorry for lateness and the shortness. By the way, I have decided that for each review I get I'll type a page. So, for example, if I get 5 reviews, the next chapter would be 5 pages. Understand? I hope so. And, can anybody tell me how many PLANTs there are in all? I need to know. Thanks! Please Review!
