Elements of time 1 By Tsumi

Duo stared out at the storm and sighed loudly. He loved rain he really did but not when it was the reason he was stuck indoors for longer than a day and no one was up to doing anything. Everyone had been very quiet the past couple of days since the storm had started. Even Duo felt less like his usual energetic self. The dreams didn't help. He had been having strange dreams lately dreams of magic and strange creatures, he hadn't told the others about it since they would probably just say he had been reading too many of his comic books lately.
He sighed again and turned back to the pad of paper he had in his lap. He had been sketching the figures from him dreams. He snickerd to himself as he realized that he had drawn him and his friends in medieval clothes. Heero was in a thigh-length tunic and hose belted at the waist with a sword belt. He was in a long robe open to reveal tight hose and shirt beneath. Trowa was in leather pants and vest. While Quatre looked like he was in dessert robes, only Wufei looked like he was dressed in his normal clothes. "Weird." He muttered to himself and put the pad away. He got up and went to find his fellows maybe some one would want to do something.

Quatre stared into the water streaming down the windows of the room he shared with Trowa. Strange that he felt so confused like he had forgotten something important. Lightning flashed and his reflection in the glass changed for a second. He started and looked away from the window.
"I've been stuck inside to long." He left his room running into Duo in the hall.
"Hello Duo"
"Hey Q want to do something I'm bored"
"sure we could see what the others are doing"
"Cool."

They looked around the house for their comrades. Trowa was in the living room reading Heero was in the room he shared with Duo working on his laptop. They found Wufei in the kitchen with a cup of tea None of them were in the mood to do anything so the two grabbed a deck of cards and played in Quatre and Trowa's room. "Wonder why everyone is so irritable today it isn't the storm.." Quatre mused out loud.
"Are you sure it isn't?" Duo asked as he shuffled.
"Duo have you had any weird dreams lately"
"Dreams? Like what?" Duo asked startled.
"About the five of us in weird clothes fighting monsters"
"Umm yeah I have actually." Duo put the cards down. "You have too huh"
"Yeah. I wonder what that means"
"Who knows maybe it's cabin fever"
"Could be."

Else where in the world

Lighting flashed as she stood watching out the large window. It had been so long and this incarnation was perfect for her to use. She was sure they were here, She looked out over the world before her it had changed so much but the memories of her new form would let her fit right in. She smiled at her reflection she would have to work quickly in case they all remembered.

the safe house

Heero stared st the screen as he worked he wouldn't let some dreams bother him. He finished his work and shut down the laptop. He looked over at the window watching the rain for a moment. The dreams always had to do with rain or fire. HE rubbed at his hand as if he expected something to be on his finger.

He looked at the hand. Was there supsed to be something there? He looked over at the two beds oin the room anbd smirked at the fact his was so neat and Duo's was as usual messy, but then He never slept in his own bed. Could the dreams have somethign to do with the fact he had felt like he knew Duo from somewhere before? Duo had said he had felt the same way after all. He shook his head no that was a silly idea probrably he just neede to go somewhere other than this stupid safe house. He got up to look closer at the rain and noticed Duo's sketch book layiung open on his bed. The five figures looked just like in heero's dream. Was Duo having the same dreams?
