Chapter 7

"Wait, are you telling me that Lily and Sakura have been friends all this time?" Duo asked.

"Hn. Seems so, "Heero answered as he stared into the building. "It's no coincidence that we both ended up coming to save the same person. Anyway, none of that matters right now. What matters is saving Sakura."

Duo blinked and nodded. "Yeah." He climbed up to the window next to Heero and peered in. "There aren't that many between the two of us. We can handle them. I'll take the men over there." Duo pointed to the right opening. "And you take the men over there." Then he pointed to the left opening. Heero nodded, agreeing with the boy. They both jumped down onto the ground and without a second thought, ran towards their targets.

Each man pulled out their guns and the moment they reached their locations, started firing off on the men, none of the expecting a double attack. Some immediately fell dead, while other ran to hide and tried shooting at either of the men. One guy tried running towards Sakura, thinking he could use her against them, but before he had even reached her, he had been shot by both Duo and Heero. In just minutes the place was clear, bodies spread about everywhere. Duo tucked his gun away and ran over to his sister, kneeling down next to her as he cut her lose from the rope.

"Were you trying to get me killed?" the girl yelled at her brother as she stood. "Just barging in her like that. What if someone had shot me?"

Duo only smiled at the girl. "Looks like you were already shot... and still living."

Sakura sighed. "Baka." But then she blinked and her eyes widened as she stared at Heero who approached them. "Wait! That's Lily's brother..." She pointed at Heero. "Why is he here?" She looked to Duo. "You two know each other?"

Lily kicked her feet back and forth off the stairs of the carrier. She was bored and worried, and didn't feel like arguing with Wufei anymore. The man sat inside the carrier, eyes closed, seemingly focusing on something. What, she didn't care. She was about on her last nerve, ready to run off and help find her friend, when she saw in the distance three people heading towards the carrier. Leaping off the stairs, she immediately ran towards them, tears now in her eyes.

"Saku-chan!!!" the girl cried out as she wrapped her arms around her friend.

Sakura, wincing, just smiled and hugged the girl back. "It's good to see you again, Lily-chan."

Lily pulled away, smiling brightly as she wiped away her tears. But then she caught a glimpse at Duo and jumped back. "Duo? What are you doing here?"

"Actually, I was here to save my sister."

"Your... WHAT??"

The two girls sat in the back of the carrier, neither one of them saying anything the whole ride back. Duo and Heero sat up front. Wufei had taken Duo's carrier back, leaving the two families to deal with things.

Lily had been so shocked to learn that this whole time she'd been best friends with Duo's twin. And that while her and Sakura had been best friends, at the same time, Heero and Duo had been best friends. It's like they had all been connected this entire time and just didn't know it. All this thinking was giving Lily a headache.

"Lily? Are you alright?" Sakura asked her friend when she saw the girl reach up to her temple.

Hearing the question, both Heero and Duo looked back at the young girl. Seeing her nod to Sakura, they returned their focus back to the front. They just wanted to get home as soon as possible. The news had been a shock to everyone. All these years, some way or another, they'd been connected to one another.

"It's destiny..." they all heard Lily say. "It was meant... for each of us to meet one another." There was sigh and some shuffling.

Duo turned back to look at the girl and saw that she had fallen asleep. He turned to Heero. "You're sister believes in destiny, huh?"

Heero only nodded. "She believes in quite a few things, but one of the biggest is that everything happens for a reason."

"Hm..." Duo returned to controlling the carrier. "I wonder."

Sakura stared at the two boys up front, then turned her attention to her friend. So much had happened in the past couple of days, and now she was about to move somewhere new, with her best friend. She knew from this moment on, life was going to be very different for all of them.
