No no no!!!!! Relena will not go for Duo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! All I have to say is that many more people want Relena to die. Lady Charis, I love your complements VERY much. But Duo (My 1st favorite character in GW!) is not going to fall in love with a girl who stands on cliffs and such screaming "Hiiro! You can come kill me now!" Nada, zip, ain't going to happen!!! I am only making this Hiiro/Usagi fic because they are the ultimate couple! Now on with the chapter!

(Congratulations to my tenth reviewer, Lilaclight!)

*I don't believe in disclaimers.

*I had a suggestion by a teacher to write a poem. So I wrote one and put it in the Poetry section. It's titled 'It's called Christmas, Mommy.' I would appreciate it if ya'll would check it out... If you want a short cut, go into my Biography and click on it. Thanx! R&R!

Chapter 8: On the Run

Hiiro hid behind the first aid wall and shut the door. 'I hate her! How did she find me?!'

The nurse saw him, "Can I help you s-" She stopped, "Oh my God! What did you do to your arm?!"

"I sleep walked to the top floor and fell off the building."

She crossed her arms in disbelief. "Well, whatever the reason, let me fix that arm. Is it hurting?" (AN: My friend pointed this out to me: "What?! What do you expect a broken and bleeding arm to feel like?! Of course it's hurting! What?!

You go to the Doctor's office and say 'I have a pleasurable feeling in my arm and I would like you to fix it with pain, which I find very pleasurable!!!!!!!!!' What? Does the nurse think Hiiro is a masochist?!" My reply is: "No, It's just nurse joy from Pokemon.")

Hiiro nodded. 'Hurting' was a vague word. But he knew what it meant.

He sat down and leaned back against the wall. It was silent in the room except for the nurse's bandage wrapping. The door creaked open. Hiiro cracked open one eye. He jumped up and stood behind the clueless

nurse as a last resort.

"What's going on?" she inquired.

"I was visiting Hiiro." Relena replied innocently.

Hiiro turned his back. Relena came up and hugged him; tight. He gave a small push but found it only ruined his arm more. He gave up.

"I'm sorry miss. But I demand you leave now or the security guards will expose of you."

Relena got the hint. She left the room, but she stood to the side of the door waiting for Hiiro.

"May I ask you sir? What is wrong with that girl? Is she a lover? Sister? Relation?" The nurse said giving a list of possibilities.

Hiiro began to look around. "An obsessed admirer." He replied spotting the window. He began to walk to it. He threw the window open to let the wind whip through his unruly brown hair. He looked down through his Prussian blue eyes. Jumping out the window would be the only way to get away from that girl.

"How sad, why do you ignore her?" The nurse asked.

"She wants me to kill her. I can't kill her... She is Relena Peacecraft, so I can't kill an important person;" he left the part about orders not to kill her, "Would you?"

The nurse shook her head. "Well I have a door that leads straight to the cafeteria. I usually only use it myself. Sometimes for short cuts to help......... but I suppose I could let you use it.

She led him behind her desk. He looked cluelessly for a door. She opened the wall. He looked back at her with an arched eyebrow. "Go on." She said soothingly, "I can't let you believe you can kill her."

"Are there a lot of secret passages?"

"Actually, there are." She whipped her dark brown hair behind her shoulder. "But you don't go looking for them because you will NEVER find a single one.

He began to walk down the stair case. It felt familiar. It was stone; it was reeking of mildew and dampness. It was almost like the one he had gone through last night...



~With Usagi~



Usagi looked at the construction site. It sent chills down her spine. It emitted a strange energy... She didn't like it. She continued to shoot the Dummy. It was a comforting thing. Pretending the dummy was Marmaru.........

She looked over at Hiiro as the drill Sergeant passed her. She felt a sharp pain in her stomach. He had kicked her forcefully enough to give her a crumbled expression. She began to black out, the taste of blood hung in her mouth.

She lay her head down in the grass and was conscious long enough to see Hiiro burst into the field from breakfast. He ran to the Sergeant and brought his wounded elbow back and began to bring it forward.........



~LATER~



Usagi looked up and saw the ceiling. She had a terrible headache, her stomach hurt wildly, and her mouth still tasted of blood. She sat up painfully. She began to climb down the small ladder, the room was empty.

She turned to look at the door. It wasn't even open. She sat on Duo's bunk; it smelled like him......... she could smell a faint trace of his natural spicy scent.

(AN: My friend gets credit for the spicy part.)

She sat back up as Hiiro entered the room. He stood solidly and proudly, he revealed a small smile. Smaller but similar to the one at the pool...

"Hiiro? What happened? Where are Duo and the others?" she asked almost in a whisper. Her voice seemed to echo endlessly off the walls making her voice louder.

"Somewhere else," he said. He shut the door with a small clink. Usagi stared at him perplexedly in confusion. He began to walk up to her slowly, and almost teasingly. He stood in front of her, staring down. He put a hand on her cheek. She started to look at him with a scared expression.

"I'm sorry; I don't mean to scare you." He said barely moving his lips. The echo continued to ring through her ears.

'What's happening?' she thought to herself, unable to move.

He began to lean down towards her face. She got the courage to put her hand on his. It was warm, it felt comforting. She never let her eyes wonder from those entrancing Prussian ones......... it was a thought that would never pop into her mind.

His lips began to edge closer and his eyes, ever so thinner. His breath was the sweetest thing she had ever tasted. It was an overcoming sweetness, even more sweetly than sugar.

Her lips began to become entrapped in his. Her eye lids felt heavy, they slowly began to fall.........ever so slowly......... she loved the feeling. It was astounding!

She lay back and let him fall on top of her. She put a hand around his neck; it felt intensely hot, such as he was enjoying this. She heard her heart begin to beat wildly.

She opened her eyelids, and suddenly, she was over come with an emotion of emptiness. Hiiro was gone and he floor was black; she appeared to be standing on nothing. She stepped forward and the emptiness engulfed her.........

She fell and fell for an eternity..... like falling in a river and being swept away. She then came to an abrupt stop. She saw a small boy, he was riding a bike, that image flashed past, another of the same boy holding a lifeless woman. Then the small boy stood next to a girl with two small odangos of blonde. She held his hand.

She watched the on coming things. Memories or whatever they were. She seemed to be invisibly standing in the middle of them.

'01' was what she saw military people call Hiiro...

She then, remarkably, saw the Hiiro she knew today. He began to proceed to cut a man's hand off and kill another. She saw Hiiro rush out to the field again as the sergeant brutally kicked her.

Her heart leapt so abruptly at the replay that she awoke in a cold sweat. She began to pull the blankets off of her. Her hand brushed against something warm. She looked to her left to see Hiiro at her side. She let a loud sigh escape her while a silent tear rolled down her cheek.

'Why? Was it a dream?' she thought, 'Why am I asking that?!' mentally, she slapped herself, 'Of course it was! But......... Then again, Hiiro... Ah, forget it!' She lay her head down gently on the crevice of Hiiro's neck and went back to sleep.



~A WEEK LATER~



Usagi lifted her head then dropped it out of weakness.

"C'mon Itooshi!" the nurse said. She stroked Usagi's head tenderly. It had been a week since the sergeant had injured her.

It had turned out that the sergeant had last been seen near the construction site. Usagi had begun to get suspicious of that place...A new replacement for the sergeant would be found in less than a week.

She would be glad to get rid of that man.

"I can get up," she said putting an elbow behind her. Hiiro shook his head and laid her on her back.

"You only make wounds open worse by struggling," he commented.

"That's a lot for you to say," she replied eyeing his arm.

"Now, now Mr. Kibou, you could have been injured permanently if he hadn't brought you to me. You could show a bit of gratitude."

"And he could show me more than a couple of simple phrases," she snapped back.

"What would you like to hear?" He asked sensitively.

This took Usagi by surprise. She looked away from him to the nurse. "I'm sorry for snapping Hodoi Tamadachi........." She said. She had learned that this was the nurse's name after one of the higher officers had visited her. So Usagi began to gradually call her 'Hodoi Tamadachi.' She was the only person Usagi had had to talk to during the day while the boys were training.

"It's alright," She replied sweetly, "I'll talk to you later Serena," she said smiling. Hiiro looked at Usagi for a surprised expression but found there was not one. The nurse left the room.

"How does she know?" He asked.

"Well, all I can say is 'How can she not have noticed?'"

"What do you mean?!" He asked offended at the assumption of not knowing something.

"I mean that my BREASTS ARE RIGHT ABOVE MY STOMACH! Therefore, while she wrapped my side she couldn't help but notice my CLEVAGE!"

He looked at her questioningly as Duo walked in.

"What's up?" he asked, "Any making out I should know about?"

Hiiro stood up and held a gun to Duo's forehead.

"I'm bringing her back to the room, help me with her now." he said flustered.

"All right, all right! Don't get your panties in a bunch!" Duo said playfully.

Hiiro shot him a warning glance, and then proceeded to lift Usagi out of the bed princess style, she complained all the way down the hall... accompanied by many stares from other boys.



Well, this is the end of this chapter. Sorry that I haven't been updating much... My step-dad just got rid of my dog which has been a part of my life for the last seven years. Plus I was disturbed by my friend eating leaves... it's kinda freaky but she says they are edible, being Bay Leaves, whatever those are... I will be putting this fic on hold for a little while to write a Hiiro/Usagi fic with Usagi being in my position. I have writers- block for this story at the moment so help is greatly needed. Please review with some ideas. Thanks for reading. (I will still congratulate my tenth reviewer.)
