Chapter 10: Feelings Revealed
Hiiro and Duo threw Usagi onto Duo's bunk with a big thud. She began to remonstrate but Hiiro put a finger to her lips gently. She quieted.
Duo looked from Hiiro, to Usagi, to his finger, and then back to Hiiro.
"I'm going to go somewhere else... maybe a mile away," he began to mumble under his breath, "I just hope that's far enough away..."
Hiiro shot Duo a warning glance and chased him a couple of feet out of the door, it shut behind him. Usagi tilted her head and could smell the spice of his skin. He always had a naturally spicy scent...
Hiiro came back in with a small smile.
"Where'd Duo go? Did he disappear into thin air again?" she said smiling with a chuckle. She quickly grabbed her stomach to ease to throbbing.
"Somewhere else." he said with a note of teasing on his tongue. She opened her eyes wide and began to scoot back the best she could, the pain in her stomach crawling like an insect to her throat.
"I'm sorry; I don't mean to scare you." He tranquilly soothed her.
'Oh no! What's happening to me?! This was just like in the dream! No! But... how?' her head began to flood with thoughts of bewilderment. She hardly even noticed Hiiro was closing the distance between their faces.
'Hiiro... I don't think... I've never thought about him this way... That's a lie between my teeth, Hiiro... What about Duo? Don't I love him? Or- is it that...yeah, he's the male version of all my friends put together, I guess...'
She felt Hiiro's mouth meet and it collided with her thoughts, he flattened them into the back of her mind and she didn't even heed it. His lips were tender and careful, as if not to hurt her. She had never felt lips such as these... his breath was even more saccharine than it had tasted in her dream. It tasted better than candy, or chocolate, or even cotton candy.
She began to lean back to make the butterflies in her stomach stop flapping so hard. His hand began to creep up to her face to caress her cheek. Marmarou had never touched her in such a caring way... he had always cared, she knew, oh how she knew... but he had never filled to his fingertips with a care as strong as she felt flowing through Hiiro's.
Hiiro lay on the side of her breathing profoundly. He gave a small, fake chuckle. "The problem is, no matter how much I want to do this, I don't know if you want to..." He laid his head back and closed his eyes nonchalantly saying, "You make me get this feeling... I like it and hate it at the same time... Dr. J. would not appreciate me feeling these feelings... He would probably kill you if he knew..." His eyes closed tight as if it wounded him to think of it.
"I guess we better not tell then." Usagi said. He looked at her uncertainly. She smiled comfortingly. "I liked you since the first time I saw you, Hiiro Brinks."
His eyes widened. "You do remember?" he asked softly.
"How could I forget?" She said as he came to kiss her once more.
~Later~
Trowa walked around the corner and saw Duo walking around the hall aimlessly, very much not like him not to be causing trouble. "What's wrong Duo?" Trowa asked urgently.
"It's not fair!" Duo said pouting. "Hiiro's in there with Usagi enjoying himself with the door locked... she's not supposed ta' be his!" he complained.
Trowa looked at him and shook his head. "You know, Duo... she's always had her eye on him, he's always had his eye on her. I don't get how you could've not noticed."
Duo began to look irritated. "Why though?! Why?! One simple question! I want to know why Hiiro gets the babe and I'm left here outside the door to listen! He could at least be a bit quieter... I mean c'mon!" Duo signaled for Trowa to eavesdrop on the noises coming clearly through the door.
A crowd of boys passed and overheard the noises from inside the room. "Oh, sounds like we got ourselves some gays in there." whispered one of the boys. Duo heard this and turned immediately and punched the boy. Blood from the boy's nose dripped on the floor.
"Don't talk about her like that!" Duo screamed to the boys. The boys looked around in confusion.
"Her?" One of the other boys asked.
"She wandered in from the female side of camp..." Duo said making an excuse quickly.
The boys' faces began to glow as they recognized a female voice. Trowa's face began to blush in sympathy for her. They walked away after inspecting the boys' nose. They began whispering "Maybe we should go to the other side of camp" and "Maybe we ought to go see if there are any other available whores..."
"That's it! C'mon Trowa!" Duo said under his breath.
Trowa followed loyally. Duo punched the guys who had called Usagi a whore, while Trowa beat the rest up. Duo relieved his frustration with Hiiro on the faces of these 'ugly punks' as Trowa began to insult them.
Duo dusted his hands off and leaned against the wall in a tired appearance. Trowa punched the last boy out and leaned next to him. "That was the most fun I've had here yet..."
Duo began to scoff, "They were so weak, not even ounce of blood loss through the whole lot of them and they're all knocked out! They wouldn't due to be Gundam Pilots like us." he said almost in a bragging voice. Trowa shot Duo a warning glare.
"You shouldn't mention that here." He said harshly. Duo leaned with his full weight against the wall.
"Nobody will ever know-ow-ow-ow." Trowa looked at Duo, he was...
'In the wall?!' Trowa thought, 'How?!' He looked into the vast staircase; the massive door that Duo had fallen through was on the inside. He began to climb over Duo and walk up the stone steps.
"Oh, thank you for helping me up," Duo said to nobody, "'Why, you're welcome Duo, It was a pleasure helping you up.'" He said in an egotistical imitation voice of Trowa.
Duo got up and began to follow until he felt his braid grabbed by somebody from behind him. "I thought you were all-" He stopped and looked at Wu fei instantly in the face.
"What are you doing, Braided Baka?" Wu fei asked circumspectly. "We're... we were going to follow this secret staircase up to wherever it leads."
"Where are the Onna and Yuy?" Wu fei asked looking at the boys' body's on the floor.
"You mean you went to go see her in the Hospital Ward?" Duo asked with a devious grin so wily that Wu fei was startled.
"I was sent for," he said under his breath.
"What do you mean?" Duo asked with a grimace. 'That's strange... Why would Usagi ask for Wu fei?'
"Well, where is she Maxwell?" He asked looking up the stairs where Trowa still stood speculating.
"She's with Hiiro." Trowa said with a red hue to his face.
"I'll be seeing her then." He said letting go Duo's hair.
Duo spoke sooner than Wu fei could get to the door, "I think you would be better to stay with us for a while."
"Why should-" He stopped mid-sentence and listened through the door. He could hear Usagi's voice saying: "You must be a perfect soldier to be this perfect-"
Wu fei's eyes widened.
"I think I will go with you, but I still don't like you." He said unsympathetically. Duo sighed and proceeded to walk up the stairs. When Wu fei was in, he shut the door behind them.
An hour later, Duo began to complain. "I'm tired of climbing these damn stairs! When do they end?"
"I would ask that question to Yuy." Wu fei said beneath his breathing.
"I did hear that, Wu fei" Trowa said. "But I assure you Duo, they do end. I hope." he added.
Wu fei sighed and kept walking. The stairs were made of old, damp, stone. It smelled musty; it was getting on his nerves.
Wu fei began to hear a humming noise. "I swear when we get out of the place, I'm going to butcher that braid if you don't stop humming."
"I'm not humming, I don't think you'd better try anyways... and besides you don't have you're sword thingy." he said almost imperturbably.
"Want to bet?" Wu fei dared as Duo felt something razor-sharp prod his back.
"Never mi-" Duo was intervallic by Trowa's announcement of amusement.
"We're here." He suspected anyways. He could hear the humming too. It was getting louder by the second.
"That's good because my muscles are pitching a fit." Duo said pleased.
Trowa mutely slung the door open. Their ears were filled with the humming of machines and the singing of shouts. They looked around cluelessly. It was a Gundam manufacturing plant.
"Our mission just got easier." Trowa said.
He inaudibly shut the door and began to walk down the stairs once more.
"What?! That's it?! We're not going to go in and bust their ass up?!" He asked waving his hands absentmindedly towards the door.
"We have no weapons, they do. We can't do anything but wait for Quatre and Hiiro. Then we will pay them a nightly visit. Do you catch my drift?"
"Yeah!" Duo said catching on, "We get our Gundams, and then we throw a party!"
Trowa nodded his head, "Exactly."
It seemed to take less time to go down the stairs than it did up them. But Wu fei couldn't get something out of his nagging conscience. He felt the piece of paper rubbing against his butt in his back pocket. His head began to hurt.
Wu fei felt in his back pocket, he was the one assigned to give this note to Usagi. Due to his sneaky nature, he glanced at the note before running into Duo and Trowa in the hall. He hated to be the one to give this note to Usagi. He Knew how hard it was to lose some one you loved...
Wu fei saw Usagi standing in the middle of the hall covered in sweat trying to regain her composure. She was arranging her, now utterly messed up, hair under her hat.
He stood up as the crow flies (AN: straight up) and took the note out of his pocket. He thrust it into her hands.
"For you."
She took it with a smile. Trowa and Duo were looking at her. They thought she would be fine, they went back into the room to try and calm Hiiro, who more or less as solid as a block of cement and breathing deeply. Usagi's smile quickly turned into a sulk. She looked up at Wu fei.
"Forgive me." she said. She hugged him tight, her stomach was steadily pulsing. The camouflage colors of his uniform began to blur and interweave into a puzzle. It was close to nothing as the pain that riddled her heart. She held Wu fei's hand. He was startled at her. But she continued to force tears back.
"I want you to take your sword and aim it right here." She pointed her finger to her heart.
Wu fei began to unsheathe is sword...
Now people!!!!!!!! Time to send me 13 reviews! (To make up for the 3 I didn't get!!!!!!!!!!) I know all of you had to enjoy this chapter. If you didn't... You're either mentally ill or weird. . grrrrrrr... Well... please keep reading and reviewing! If you don't, you're the weirdest person alive because you don't want to know what the note says or if Wu fei's going to kill her or not!!!! Thanks everybody!
Congratulations to my seventh (grrr... not tenth, seventh!!!!!!!!) reviewer WindRider-Damia! Thank you!
