Five Pilots and a Girl

CHAPTER FOURTEEN



Lizzy let out a long sigh. It was about an hour or so after Quatre had left her saying he had to leave since they had run out of some supplies. Lizzy was blushing a little while he talked to her but she can't shake the feeling that something was not right with Quatre. For one thing, he wasn't smiling. In fact, he seems agitated and confused. Confused? Well, she too is confused. Maybe he is regretting what he had done to her already. Did he? Well, maybe it's for the best. And he has been avoiding her all day.

Looking at the clock, it's 10 past six already. She knew that Quatre would be back within an hour. She had just finished with the Deathscythe and it's now in perfect condition. She prided herself with her craft and it would please Duo to hell. Remembering the pilot, she went upstairs. She didn't even mind to freshen herself up since Duo had already seen her in her worst conditions. She merely washed her hands and grabbed some cookies for Duo. She just took off her overall since it was hot inside compared to the hangar. She still had her shirt and Capri pants on.

"Hello there sleepy head. You awake? I brought you some cookies and milk." She was standing by the doorway with a plate on her hand and a glass of milk on the other.

Duo was on his bed with only his boxers on. But Lizzy didn't mind. She had gotten used to these boys already by that time.

"I'm dying," Duo said trying to mimic Heero's monotone voice.

Lizzy giggled. At least Duo was in a good mood. She always knew that no matter what she had done, Duo would easily forgive her. But in this case, she had her reservations because for one thing, this is a matter of the heart.

She put the plate and glass on his bedside table and sat on his bed. She pulled his arm, which was covering his eyes and gave him a quick peck on his nose. Still, he closed his eyes.

"So how are you feeling?" talking to Duo always made her feel good inside. And she is quite worried with all the bruises he had on his body. "I hope Oz didn't left a permanent mark on you, love."

Then Duo opened his eyes and looked straight at her. Lizzy was a bit startled with the way his amethyst eyes were looking at her. It was quite . unusual.

"Do you honestly think that I, shinigami, will crumble down because of Oz? You've got another thing coming beautiful."

Lizzy just smiled to that. Something definitely was not right. He doesn't call her beautiful. He calls Hilde beautiful when he flirts with her. Is he flirting with her now? Something fishy is definitely going on.

Then she was taken by surprise as Duo tackled her to bed and thus starting a tickle war. She knew she was at a loss here because she knew that Duo couldn't possibly take a hard tickle. She was spoiling him too much.

"Hahahahahaa.. Geez Duo. S-stop . Stop it already! You aren't . hhahahaha. Okay, okay you won!" With that Duo stopped. Lizzy has tears in her eyes. Duo had remained quiet, as he looked straight into her emerald eyes. Lizzy was still heaving but she was aware that she is now lying on Duo's bed while he is on top of her. He had pinned her legs with his own while both his arms are on her sides to support him. They had been in similar positions before. At other times they use this to tease Wufei. But Lizzy had an intuition that something was different in this case. Something way too different.

It was like a predator and prey situation and this time, it looks like she is the prey. What now? The only way to get out of here is if she remains calm. She laughed a little before she said, "Geez Duo, if you think I will melt by giving me those death glares, and then you are hardly mistaken!" She even gave him a sweet smile then tried to pretend to start another tickle war but was surprised when Duo pinned both her hands up her head with both of his hands. She could feel his deadweight on her. What the hell did she do this time?, her mind was screaming. "This isn't funny Duo," she hissed. She is all alert now. She then wondered if Quatre has come back. Has Duo gone mad all of a sudden? She doesn't know if she can handle him right now.

She felt him smirked. She smelled it. The smell of liquor. Why didn't she notice it before? Wait. it wasn't just liquor. Damn! Did Quatre give Duo some anti-depressants? Highly unlikely. She knew that there are three drugs that is given to wounded pilots, one is liquor to help warm the body, the other is an anti-tetanus and the last is the anti-depressant which is usually given to those who had just suffered a very traumatic experience. If taken too excessively, it has the same effects as opium or marijuana. Now she's wondering just how much Duo have taken. Usually the pilots don't take the third pill since they all knew that it has side effects. The worst part, all three medications are not supposed to be taken at the same time.

"What's the matter love, cat got your tongue?" Duo's eyes were a bit dilated in a way. "Don't worry, I only have 2 questions to ask you then I'll let you go."

Lizzy was not in a bit reassured by that. "Fire away Duo-chan," she chose to remain calm.

Duo laughed. "You always were calm aren't you? You really are an intelligent girl," he shifted his position so that his face was above her, "Okay, first question, what happened between you and Heero on your first rescue mission?"

His breath was hot on her face but she chose to ignore the strange fluttering she felt on her stomach. "We were nearly found out by the enemy. They set the place on fire so we had to go out through the fire exit. It was pretty damn close!"

Duo laughed again. "Not only are you intelligent love but you are also very cunning. I wasn't referring to those incidents. As I can remember, you mentioned it yesterday that Heero of all people should know that you are not a slut. Hmm, I wonder why. Care to enlighten me?" His voice was bit slurry but she thinks that the effects of the drug are slowly fading out of his system. That means he had taken it for almost 4 hours ago.

She tried to work her way out without her saying the truth, "Th-there was a man who tried to flirt with me on the base. I actually used that but when he tried to get serious, I knocked him out. Heero was there. He saw the whole thing."

Duo gave her a lazy smile before he descended and whispered in her ear, "Do you honestly think I would buy that? You see, I've got other methods of knowing if you really are a slut or not. I'm just wondering if Heero had gotten to it first than me." Lizzy was totally confused as to what could he be talking about. But when she felt him lick her earlobe, she started to panic. She tried to get out of his grip but he was surprisingly strong. She wouldn't be surprised if she has marks on her wrists by tomorrow. He was holding her with a death grip.

She then tried to talk her way out. By now, Duo was licking the sides of her neck down to the hollow of her throat. "Duo, snap out of it. Look, Quatre is going to be back any minute now!"

Lizzy felt as if she shouldn't have the said the word 'Quatre'. Duo stopped and now his face was above hers again. But his eyes had that menacing look. "Are you worried that lover boy will be disappointed when he sees us like this?" He sneered again. She was beginning to hate that in Duo. She reminded herself to put that in her list of things I hate about Duo. "Which leads me to my second question love. Thanks for reminding me. If you really aren't a slut, then how come you expertly maneuvered Quatre in the sofa last night?"

Even if she knew that Duo was drugged, it hurt her to have to hear him say it. So he thinks she is a slut? She knew that he is bitter that Quatre seemed to like her more than him. But what could she do? She only taught of only one way possible. She will fight back.

"I didn't maneuvered Quatre last night Duo! Damn it Duo, this isn't a game!" she shouted. She just hoped that Quatre is back. Maybe if she keeps shouting more, he would come. It wasn't funny even if here she was about to lose her virginity while Quatre was downstairs cooking their meal! Damn these gundam pilots! Then she screamed, "You're hurting me!"

"Good," Duo said. "Because I want to let you know how I felt when I saw my best friend tongue locked with the person I loved most in this galaxy! So now my dear best friend, I will know if you really are a slut or not!" He grinned then he kissed her hard on her mouth.

Lizzy knew then that no amount of words could come into Duo. How could she explain to him that it was Quatre who actually kissed her first! She just wished that the drug would wear out by now. She then tried to push him off with her legs and arms but he just wouldn't budge. Panic was starting to come into her mind. She let out a yell as Duo tore her t-shirt in two thus exposing her chest. Good thing she was wearing a bra.

"Damn it Duo! Let go of me!" she shouted but it seems that her shouts fell on deaf ears. She did panic a lot when she felt him brush his bulge against her. That was the time when tears started to roll down her cheeks.

Just then, Duo stopped. "Shhh." he said. "Don't cry love," he then licked her tears. "I will never hurt you Lizzy. I love you. Let me love you." He kissed and licked her cheeks trying to dry her face.

Lizzy was totally confused. Did Duo really gone mad? But when she looked into his eyes, it seemed as if she was seeing the real Duo. But there was still a strange hue in his eyes. Lust. It was still there.

Then he kissed her hard again and pinned her to the mattress. For a moment there, she lost all hope and let him have her way with her with tears falling down her eyes.

Just then, they heard a monotone voice said, "Well, well, well. What do we have here? If you guys will do that, I would appreciate it if you lock the door so that others cannot interrupt." Knowing Heero, he could just have left but he had feelings for the shinigami so he had to say that.

Lizzy suddenly found strength in that voice. It was Heero. She knew then that someone would stop Duo from his madness. With the last of her strength, she pushed Duo away from her and shouted, "Heero wait!"

It definitely caught Heero's attention for he went back. Unfortunately, it also caught Trowa and Wufei's attention. Her shout sounded more like a shriek that is why they immediately rushed up to Heero and Duo's room expecting an enemy. But what greeted them took them completely by surprise. For one thing, Duo was still on the bed who was partially on top of Lizzy but Lizzy looked like a total mess. Her hair was in ruins and her shirt was ripped in front exposing herself. But what had moved them the most were the tears they saw in her eyes flowing endlessly down her cheeks.

Author's Notes:

The thing with the drugs, I just made it up. Don't mind if it doesn't make sense. The real action starts on chapter 16 or 17, depending on my mood right now. It will show how her past catches on her.
