Chapter Four
A Surprise Visit
"So, you guys wanna surprise Wufei", the pilot to Death Scythe asked.
"Yeah, I think it would be fun", Quatre said.
Trowa didn't say anything as he looked over at Heero who was busy driving.
"Please, Heero", Duo asked, with his hands in a begging position.
Heero didn't look at him, he just stayed as quiet as possible.
"Hee-chan, please", Duo begged again.
"Duo, we need to go to headquarters to get our orders", he stated calmly.
"Yeah, but we can do that afterwards. Maybe Wufei knows something about it."
Heero didn't say anything as he drove in the direction to Wufei's new place. Of course, none of the others knew where it was.
"Hee-chan, we're we going?"
"To Wufei's."
"Yay", Quatre and Duo cheered at the thought of seeing their friend.

Wufei was sick of school, and decided to skip school that day, since his target wasn't even going to be there. She was at his apartment, in his room, sleeping in his bed!
He woke up early, and went to the store, leaving a little note on the fridge.
When Tori woke up, Wufei was gone, and she was hungry. She saw the note on the fridge, and decided to just wait.
His place wasn't as clean as it was last time, so she decided to clean up a bit.
She put on one of her CD's in the living room, and began to put things away.

The doors to Heero's car slammed shut as everyone emptied out, and walked up to Wufei's apartment. When they got there, Duo knocked on the door cheerfully, while grinning the whole time.
A short girl with long black hair came to the door in a long, dark blue button down shirt.
"Yes?"
"Um, does Wufei live here", Duo asked uncertainly.
"Oh yeah, he just went out. Come on in", she said.
They all walked in uncertainly, and went to the living room and sat down.
"Uh, anybody want something to drink?"
"Oh, you got any soda", Duo asked.
"You serious. This is Wufei's place", she said, giving him an odd look.
'Who are these people', she asked herself.
"Oh, yeah. True."
"Can I have some tea", Quatre asked, as he offered to help.
"Sure. Come on."
Quatre followed her into the kitchen and helped her with the tea.
"Who is she", Duo asked Heero.
"Don't know", he said as he shook his head.
Just then, Wufei walked in the door.
"Hey Tori, could you-", he stopped as he saw all the former Gundam pilots in his living room.
Quatre and Tori walked into the living room then, and he saw what she was wearing.
'Oh great! This is NOT GOOD!'
"Wufei", Duo yelled as he jumped up and gave him a hug.
"Hey you guys."
"What are you all doing here", he asked after he managed to get Duo off of him.
"Well, we wanted to come and see you. We were on our way to see Lady Une, and well... we weren't expecting you to be living with your girlfriend", Duo said as he cocked his head over to Tori.
"She's not my girlfriend", Wufei almost shouted.
Everyone looked at him, and he blushed.
"Uh... me and Wufei are just friends. I'm just staying with him until I can get a place of my own", she said softly.
"Oh... sorry about that", Duo said as he rubbed the back of his head.
Everything was quiet afterwards, and everyone was uncomfortable, even if Duo and Wufei were the only ones that showed it.
"Well, I have a few things I need to do, so I'll just leave you guys alone." She walked off towards Wufei's room and grabbed a few things before going into the bathroom.
After the door was closed, Wufei let out a sigh.
"She's my new mission."
They all looked at him, and he saw the questioning look in Quatre's and Duo's eyes. He sat down on the couch after putting the groceries on the table, and began to explain. After he was done explaining, Heero asked him, "Does this have anything to do with Lady Une wanting us here?"
"I don't know", he said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"You know Wufei, you look good in a pair of jeans."
"Shut it, Maxwell."
Duo grinned and than looked up as Tori came out of the bathroom, looking refreshed. She wore a pair of tight, black leather pants with a simple black tank top. A studded belt was her only accessory.
'Damn', Duo thought as he looked her up and down, and than saw Wufei's fixated gaze on her as well.
'He likes her, I knew it. You can't fool me when it comes to stuff like that.'
A grin suddenly made itself known on Duo's face as he watched Wufei stare at her.
"Wufei, I have to go somewhere. I should be back soon. Later, nice meeting you guys"
She smiled down at him and rubbed the top of his head affectionately. He didn't even react to it.
She left, and he snapped out of it and turned his attention back to the others.
"So, what were we talking about?"

That night, after dinner and a movie, they both went to their rooms, and went to bed.
Tori pulled off her pants, and tank top. She slipped into another tank top and a pair of shorts. Her head hit the pillow heavily, and she went to sleep almost instantly.
/The dark room was cold, and covered in human escrimantes. The little girl walked slowly towards a corner of the room, and curled up. Her light blue eyes looked around the dark, dim room, that had other children huddled up in it.
Her face fell into her lap as she began to sob. She wasn't the only one. The heavy door swung open, bathing them in light. The tall man that stood there, threw a young boy in the room, and grabbed another girl next to her. Screams and cries were heard all the way down the hall, that they had all walked through. Some of them just hadn't gotten use to it.
A few of them poked at the boy as he lay there, stiff as can be, and not moving. One of the other boys kicked him in the back lightly, and the boy still didn't move. He was dead.
The girl turned away, and shut her eyes, trying not to cry. The next time the door opened, the man grabbed her, and took her away. The door closed behind her, and all she could remember seeing was the wide eyes from the hollow faces of the kids she would grow up with for the next few years./
Tori sat up in bed, with sweat dripping down her face. She held onto the sheets tightly, as she recalled that night. Her hands twisted around the fabric, and almost tore it as she narrowed her eyes.
She just sat there for the next few hours, not taking her eyes off the door, as if it would burst open any minute, and that same man would be standing there, grabbing at her to take her away again.

"I can't believe we have to go back to school! This sucks", Duo whined.
"Oh Duo, it should be fun. And we get to see Wufei all the time", Quatre beamed brightly.
Heero and Trowa were silent as they made their way out onto the balcony of their house. It looked out over the small back yard that had a dirty pool and overgrown grass.
Trowa looked in on Quatre and Duo, who were planning for a night out the night before school started for them. Heero noticed his gaze and took it as something else.
Heero opened the can of beer as he tore his gaze away from his fellow Gundam pilot, and took a long swig.
"Why do you drink that stuff", he asked.
"Cause I like it."
Trowa looked at him, and a small smile crept onto his face.
"Can I have a taste", he asked as he scooted closer to him.
Heero began to feel uncomfortable at the closeness of him and just handed him the beer, but Trowa didn't take it. Instead, he brushed his lips against his own, sending a chill down his spine.
They were interrupted as Duo and Quatre came out onto the balcony with them, a few beers in hand.
"So, how about we all get drunk", Duo said cheerfully as he handed Trowa a beer.
"Why not", the pilot of Heavy Arms said.
He began to chug the stuff, earning him a stare from Heero, who could still feel his lips on his own.
