"Speaking" ^Thinking^ :: Speaking Through Bond:: (A/N : a little note from me) ~*~ means change of scene ~*~ \\means passage of time// ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Timeframe: This is happening at the same time Usagi woke up and then went back to sleep.(at the end of the last chapter)
Quatre shied away from the early morning beams in his sleeping bag. Slowly sitting up, he rid the sleep from his eyes with a rub of his fingers. He began yawn, but paused midway. Something was wrong. Hiiro hadn't woken him up for his watch duty. And if Hiiro had decided to watch the whole night, then he would have gotten them up at dawn like always. Quatre looked over to where Heero's sleeping form should be, but found instead an empty up sleeping bag bunched up. Something was definitely wrong. "Wake up, guys! Hiiro's gone!" Quatre shouted as he jumped to hi feet.
"What's all the yelling about Quatre?" Trowa asked as he rose to his feet, stretching.
"Hiiro is gone. He didn't wake me up for my shift. And," Quatre said pointing at Hiiro's sleeping bag, "It looks like he took off for somewhere in a hurry."
"What was Yui thinking? Running off like that!" Wufei shouted when he saw the line of footprints stretching to the forest edge. Then he noticed something else. Heero's footprints were not alone. There was another set that he recognized and had come to loath.
"What are you guy shouting about? Can't you tell I'm trying to get my needed beauty sleep?" Duo yawned as he folded himself deeper into his sleeping bag.
Wufei's eyebrow was twitching involuntarily. "Maxwell, you really are a braided baka! Get you're ass UP. Yui's disappeared!" Duo only response was shoving his pillow over his face, not fully listening to Wufei. If you looked close, steam was drifting out of Wufei's ears. The fool had no right to ignore him! Grabbing the full bucket next to the fire pit, Wufei let it cascade down to the lump. He added a kick for good measure. "Up, now, you lazy womanly excuse for a man!!"
\\10 minutes later//
A soggy but awake Duo was trailing along behind the others as they tracked the trail left by Hiiro and Usagi. It was taking a while to follow the track, since many creatures seemed to have someway used or crossed their path. Duo groaned when they yet again stopped with the difficulty of figuring out which way Hiiro went. "Lets just go back! I doubt that Hiiro is in trouble. I mean come on! He is the Perfect Soldier, the best bounty hunter ever!"
"Well I think he is in trouble! There's proof! Look at this! Blood!" Quatre shouted, with his feet taking him forward. His eyes set on the ground. "And from these tracks, I'd say that its Hiiro's and not Usagi's." The others were next to him, seeing what he was. As proof to Quatre's words, Usagi's tracks went further than the blood, where Hiiro's tracks stopped, followed by slightly flattened flora.
"I can't believe that Yuy let himself get hurt while chasing that girl," Wufei criticized, letting his arms cross.
Duo laughed "Funny... I seem to remember a certain Chinese man," Duo took off running with Wufei on his heels, "Nearly breaking his leg from falling into a pit that a GIRL was able to jump across! Haaahahaa." Duo laughed and ran away from the Chinese man like a maniac, braid sailing behind him.
"MAXWELL! I told you, that if you mention, or even hint, at that dishonorable incident, I was going to shave you bald, and THEN KILL YOU!!!" The highly irritated Wufei screamed, chasing Mr. Braid back toward camp.
Ignoring it all, Trowa and Quatre looked back at the tracks. They could see that Usagi must have started to drag Hiiro. Although, no more than 4 feet away from Hiiro's dried blood, all traces of them where gone. "I guess that we'll just have to wait and see if Hiiro comes back. Usagi made sure there was no evidence for us to use." Quatre heaved a sigh of defeat, turning back toward the camp. Trowa his last look at the tracks and blood. ^How could Hiiro have let that happen to himself.^ He trekked back to their camp.
~*~ Somewhere ~*~
Four human shaped figures listened to the one engulfed by black shadows. "Do you understand?"
One of the four took a step forward, perhaps the leader. "Yes. Bring the girl back unharmed. Kill whoever gets in our way."
~*~ In the cave ~*~ Hiiro's eyes cracked open. They landed on Usagi, and he fully opened them. His Usagi, the one he was going to lovingly share his life with. The one who knew every thing about him, thoughts and feelings included. The special one he would protect until the day he died.
A smile played on his lips as the woman his thoughts were centered on stirred and shifted about. Her lips were now close enough to kiss. Giving into his feeling, Hiiro traced his lips across hers lightly, trying not to wake her. But when he felt her positive reaction, he had to deepen the tantalizing sweet kiss.
Finishing, Hiiro asked "Did you sleep well, my little Usa?" She answered by curling deeper against his firm chest, and nodding against his neck. She kissed it lightly. "Good," he smiled, giving her a neck kiss of her own. Her skin was smooth and soft. He felt it shiver under his lips. His kisses continued.
"Ahem." Hiiro froze and so did the lips against her neck, looking at the two cats who were standing not far off. "I think that you should go to your friends now. It's already eleven. And if you left any blood for your friends to find, then once they find it they'll be worrying, hoping you'll come back to them safe."
Usagi sighed, her warm breath flowing over Heero's neck, giving him a pleasurable shiver. "Your right," he groaned. He had wanted to finish what he had started with Usagi. She sat up so she could straddle the laying Hiiro. "Hii-chan, how's your head?" she asked, carefully removing the bandage. What she saw made her gasp. The gash had disappeared and left behind light pink colored skin, new skin. "It's healed!"
"That's another one of the advantages of your bonding. You help to heal your mate. Aren't you lucky Heero!" Artemis said with a wink. Heero wondered if that had a double meaning. If it was about Usagi, then he is lucky to have her. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A/N: To everyone who is waiting for the guys to find out about Usagi and Hiiro being bonded......sorry you'll have to wait another chapter. But I promise that next chapter they will. If anyone wants me to notify them when I update, then leave your e-mail address and TELL me in your review. Thank you in advance for your reviews. And also, my little sis has a really good GW/SM posted that you would probably like if you are enjoying my story. It's AU and takes place in mediaeval times. It's also Heero/Usagi. You can find her listed under my favorite authors page. Her author name is Firefly Princess. Thanks again!!!!
