Chappie 12- A Lisp, and A Confession of Love

A/N: IMSUCHABADAUTHRESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I so soooorrry! It's been to long…

Disclaimer: I don't own…. Gundam Wing! Though if I did, Heero would reside in my closet… *suggestive wink*

Re-cap: Heero grabbed my arm, and pulled me to the side. "Dokyou. You disobeyed me, and could have been killed. When I saw you fighting Rae, I thought I'd lose you, and… Well… Umm.. I…I've never failed a job." He said, and walked off. I fell to my knees, as soon as he was in the van, and cried.

Why is it he is so cold? I mean sheesh, all he worries about it getting the job done! I was really worried about him, and he's bummed about almost losing his pay check! Grrr!

As I finally got calmed down, I stood and got in the car. Duo looked at me, and as it was rather obvious I had been crying, he asked a question I had been dreading. "What's the matter, Dokyou?"

I sighed. "I'm, umm… Just upshet that Rae betrayed me like that, we were really good friendths when we were little. When we were theven, we tricked my mom into buying us both ice creamths, by telling her we had really thore throats… Then when we were 10, she thtole my first boyfriend so that she didn't have to tell me he was cheating on me! Then when we were 12, she made her parenths necklaces just like the ones you were wearing, and after putting them on, I never thaw either of them again. After that, we drifted apart."

Duo nodded, and gave me a hug. "When we get back to the house, I want the true answer." -.- So he is a psychic! Eheh, at least I hope so, after all if Duo can read me, who's to say Heero can't as well…?

Well, anyway, we finally pull into the driveway, and all pile in the house, me first, in an attempt to escape Duo's prying eyes. I ran for the stairs only to be intercepted not by the Duo I expected, but rather by Heero. "Alright, before you go anyway, we need to assess what your transformation brought."

I sighed. "Well, I can tell you that my hair grew a few inches. Oh, and I got some major fangs, which by the way, I finally adjusted to, so I can speak. Umm… and other than that, I got nothing."

He 'hnn-ed' and I sighed as he lunged at me, I gasped and ducked as he threw a fist at me, and barely managed to dodge. I decided to see if for once I could get a hit in, and threw a left hook, which to my surprise became a blur, and was…. Blocked by Heero. Well, that worked. Hmmm…. Then I decided to try again, and this time, I swung my leg out to trip him, and I screamed when I managed to catch his leg, and he fell flat on his face.

"What the hell did YOU scream for? After all, it was my face that hit the floor!" Heero said in a horribly annoyed voice. I sighed, and looked at him.

"Ya know what? I'm done. I don't want to risk your failure anymore. I can't even stand the thought of being around you right now, Heero!" I turned and ran up the stairs to my room.

When I got to my room, I threw myself on the bed, and tried really hard to go to sleep. After about thirty minutes, Duo walked into my room, and laid a hand on my back. I sighed, as he started to talk. "So, you love him, huh?"

I looked at Duo, and sighed as the tears started to fall. "I can't love him. I just met him. Besides, even if I did love him, there's no way someone like him would love me! He's strong, brave, not to mention a prince to his… err… Our? People…" I threw myself at Duo, and sobbed into his shoulder.

Duo sighed, and smiled. "Heero is really confused right now. He doesn't understand why you ran out of training like that. Don't you think you owe him an explanation? After all, he did try really hard to protect you, when I was kidnapped! When she was putting those necklaces on us, Heero was fighting as hard as he could, and he kept yelling that she better not touch you. After he was freed, he flat out panicked when he saw you fighting Rae. I've never seen him so worried."

"I… I… I suppose it wouldn't kill me, after all, he did train me…" I sighed, and started toward the door. As I was about to open it, I turned and rushed at Duo. "I'm so glad your okay, and thank you for listening!!" I hugged him, and headed downstairs.

As I walked through the kitchen, I stopped short when I saw a very…. HOT sight. "Wow, Quat, Tro-bear, way to go! You two make an adorable couple!!" They gasped, and Quatre turned bright red. "Dun worry, if ya don't want people to know, I got your back."

Quatre looked at me, and smiled. "Don't worry, Duo and the rest actually already know, so we really don't care who knows. I was just surprised to see you down here. Heero told me you stormed out of training today… What happened?"

I smiled. "Don't worry about that, I'm on my way to straighten that out now." Quatre smiled, and nodded, encouragingly. Trowa simply nodded, and went back to nuzzling Quatre's neck.

I turned and walked into the living room, and saw Heero and Wufei discussing what I assume was more training for me. When they saw me, Wufei quietly excused himself, and I sighed. Okay, hopefully I can do this.

"Look, I'm sorry. It's just that when you yelled at me, I kind of lost it. I know you just think of me as a job, but I want to be more! I can't stand the thought of you being mad at me, or leaving me. Even if it's just for a second, so, please, please, please forgive me for disobeying your orders! I was so worried that I might not see you again! I think I might almost sorta kinda love you?" After I said that, I sighed, and looked at the floor, waiting to be rejected.

He gently took my chin, and turned my eyes toward him. "Never think that you're just a just a job. I'm not mad at you for leaving that hole! I was upset and worried. Look. I'm not used to showing emotions, so bare with me. I have never felt the kind of fear I did when I saw you fighting that loony vampire. Also, if you don't want me to leave, then I won't. The guys are happy here, and I think I might love you too. So never worry about me leaving, or being mad at you."

I gasped, and smiled, grabbing his chin, and kissing him soundly on the lips. His eyes widen, and he slowly returned the kiss. I smiled against his lips, filled with joy, and as we put force into the kiss, I was forced to pull away, tasting blood in my mouth. Heero laughed as he realized that I wasn't as adjusted to my new fangs as I wanted him to believe.

"Problems with your teeth, Dokyou?' He said with a smirk. I nodded, and he looked thoughtful. "There is no way you will be able to sleep without seriously injuring yourself, so, we will have to cork the ends of your fangs."

I looked at him like he was loony, and was forced to ask "Um… do we have to? After all, I kind of hate the taste of cork… Not that I know what it tastes like, exactly, but I have an idea I won't enjoy it."

"Too bad." That was all I got, before a kiss, and having two pieces of cork shoved onto the end of my teeth… Eeeeewwww! I was right. It was gross. "Tomorrow, we are going to take you on your first hunt, so get lots of sleep."

I sighed, wished everyone a good night, and went to sleep, wondering how my first hunt would turn out… What if I didn't like the taste of blood? Is it an acquired taste, or was I 'reborn' with it? The questions swarmed my head, causing dreams, some pleasant, some horrible nightmares.

End….
