Intrigue

by Kagura

Accounting Surprises

The internal alarm clock of Heero Yuy went off the same time it normally did. Six o'clock in the morning. Strangely, Heero felt for one of the few times in his life, the need to not get up. His body, mind, and soul all did not want to get up. His heart particualarly, although he wasn't sure why. But his heart's protests were covered up by the strangely calm thought of, 'If my heart appears to be this panicked, I must have been captured... which means... oh yeah, sleeping gas...'

Heero finally opened his eyes. The room was familiar, yet quite unfamiliar at the same time. It held the shape of the room that Heero had been in last time he checked, but the layout was more like that of a hotel, not a dinning room in the Crystal Palace. Heero was beyond confused. But the most mind boggling part of this room was the fact that Relena was in the room, grown up, her arms wrapped around Quatre's waist. And not only that, but Heero soon found that he could not move one arm very easily because Noin was laying on top of it. Heero was in bed with Noin. And Heero could not, for the life of him, figure out how he had gotten there. Most enemies try to make you as uncomfortable as possible to spill your beans about something. This was too comfortable to be an enemy establishment.

A knock on the door brought Heero's thoughts back to the real world. Heero got up, noticing at the last minute he was in nothing but boxers. He put on some pants and answered the door.

It was Marcia.

"How was your night? A friend of yours was asking at the front desk."

"A friend?" Heero asked, very confused.

"Yes, um, Sally Po." Heero's eyes narrowed.

Noin shifted in bed, soft whispers flowing in one ear and out the other like a beautiful melody of sounds. But something had changed that had woken her up, and it wasn't the whisperers. That's when her arm hit the warm spot on the bed. A warm spot that only a body that had been there a few seconds ago could have left. And Noin wanted to know who's body that had been... secretly hoping that it had been Heero, but not wanting to admit it, even to herself. Noin slowly opened her eyes, facing away from the voices. The pull out couch was the first thing she saw, as well as a little reminder that she couldn't play at being mother anymore. A full grown Quatre and Relena, wrapped in each others arms greeted Noin's eyes. She screamed.

Noin's scream not only woke up the two pacifists, but made Marcia scream and Heero turn around. Heero had, of course, a gun that he whipped out at whatever Noin had screamed at. Heero never went anywhere without a gun, even if peace had made him a bit lazy. But only a bit. Noin was panicking over the thought of Quatre no longer being a small cute three year old. But suddenly, she realized that the signs had been there. They had been there all last night. All of yesterday for that matter. She should have noticed, but did she? No. She was too caught up in Heero. She had just watched Heero all day. Even at work. She watched Heero. She had been watching Heero all through her conversation with Sally. She had watched Heero all through... well, everything. She never stopped. Not once. And now, she was highly embarrassed. Cause she just now heard the click of a gun being snapped back into a holster. Which meant that Heero had been ready to shoot whatever the heck had made her scream.

Of course, now she was reading to far into that action. Heero didn't care that much about her. Not at all. Heero was Heero, and that's all there is to say about that.

This thought was far from the truth. So far in fact, that Noin should have believed her over analyzing side. But she didn't. Heero was really concerned, seeing as there was absolutely nothing wrong in the room. He didn't even glare at Noin the way he would have done if it was anyone else. He didn't say a word, because he didn't want to embarrass her.

But truthfully, Noin wished he would. She wished he would called her stupid, fire the gun at her, do SOMETHING. But Heero just stood there looking impassive and un enthused.

Quatre and Relena were already hurriedly whispering about what to do. When Noin had screamed, they had let go of each other and sat bolt upright yelling "WHAT?" at the exact same time. Now they were confused about it. As well as the fact that Heero was wearing nothing but pants. Noin was only wearing a bra and panties. They were wearing nothing at all... (A/N: Dude, you can't expect the toddler clothes to grow with them now, can you?)

Everything had to be explained, and soon.

A toddler had crawled into bed with her last night, and she expected to be woken up by the ever so bouncy toddler too. But no... she was woken up by her alarm clock. She stared at it... and stared at it... and stared at it... until she heard a voice on the other side of the bed.

"Oh shut up..." someone groaned. Hilde shreaked.

"Not so loud! You hurt my ears, babe." Hilde rolled over to look into the deep purple eyes of a grown up Duo. She blinked, then blinked again.

"Duo? Like you're not... oh my god! You're not three anymore!" Hilde hugged poor, naked Duo so hard he nearly started choking. Duo was about to ask what on earth she was talking about when the phone rang.

Heero was still standing there when Noin got up and walked over to the phone. She dialed a number and waited. Hilde picked up, giggling like nobody's business.

"Hello? Hehe, Duo! Stop that, I'm on the...hehe..."

"Hilde? This is Noin." Hilde stopped laughing.

"Lutenent Commander!"

"Hilde, could you call Sally Po and Catherine Bloom. We need to get everyone together."

"Yes, mame. Leave it to me. What location and time were you thinking?"

"Preventer Conference Room 37 at 1100 hours. You got that Sargeant?"

"Mame, yes mame!" Hilde saluted Noin, even though Noin couldn't see it. It was habit once again, since she had been working at the Preventers in Duo's stead. It was almost sad to think she wouldn't be working there anymore.

Relena glanced at Quatre. "What are we all doing here?" she asked.

Quatre looked at her confused. "How am I supposed to know? Last thing I remember... was a flash of light..."

"That's the last thing I remember, too."

Relena looked at Heero, who still wasn't wearing a shirt. She turned bright red, but watched him anyway. He had his gun out and was checking up and down the hallway. Marcia had ran when Heero and flipped around and pulled out a gun. Marcia was deathly afraid of guns. Marcia had told Sally her friends were crazy raving lunatics. Sally, wondering what was going on, shot upstairs. To run head first toward Heero and his gun.

She was lucky he didn't fire at her.

But it also explained in one glance why Marcia had called them a bunch of crazy raving lunatics. Marcia was deathly afraid of guns. And I, the author of this story, am getting extremely repetitive. Anyway, Noin stuck her head out wondering who was running down the hall, and saw Sally running toward the room. Noin stepped out and stopped Sally from going any furthur toward the room.

"Sally, where's Wufei?" she asked, plain as day.

"He was with Marcia last night until I took him home, and my mother came over this morning to watch him... sort of... my mother is dead asleep in a chair."

"I don't think he needs to be watched any more, Sally."

Sally just looked at her with a confused face. Then relization struck, and Sally flipped open her cell phone and called her apartment.

Only to hear a busy signal.

Wufei was awoken by someone's snores in the next room. Quickly, he searched the room he was in for something sharp and dangerous. He could find nothing, so he carefully looked around the corner. Seeing no one he crept further down the hallway. While he crept down the hall, he continued to look for sharp objects. He could find none. He continued to follow the sound of the snoring.

Finally reaching the living room, Wufei found a really old lady lying back in a recliner chair, snoring her head off. He relaxed, then heard the phone ring.

He answered.

"Hello?"

"Wufei? Is Sally there? Naw, it doesn't matter. I'll just tell you. Noin called a meeting that both you and Sally are to attend at Preventer Headquaters in Conference Room 37 at 1100 hours."

"Thank you, Sargeant Schebecker. I will inform Doctor Po."

"Sir." Again, Hilde saluted her superior, even though he couldn't see her. Ah well, it was habit.

Everyone involved with taking care of the chibi pilots and Relena was gathered around the table. Vice Foreign Minister Relena Peacecraft-Dorlian sat at the head of the table, her Head of Security, Preventer's Lutenant Heero Yuy, was on her left. Next to him sat Sargeant Major Duo Maxwell, Sargeant Hilde Schebecker, and Lutenant Trowa Barton. On Vice Foreign Minister Dorlian's right was Lutenant Commander Lucrezia Noin, then Lutenant Wufei Chang, Doctor Sally Po, and then the civilian Catherine Bloom. At the end of the table was Foreign Minister Quatre Rabarba Winner. Yes, Quatre was the Foreign Minister now. Mostly because there was no one to take the position and Quatre had been recommended to the position by all four of his comrades. And Relena quite redily agreed with their propositon. He easily filled the position, trying to do his best, not only for his comrades, but for all of space. Since it was Lutenant Commander Noin who had called the meeting, she stood up.

"I called this meeting to clear up what happened one month ago today. On that day, the Foreign Minister and Vice Foreign Minister, along with three body gaurds disappeared. The three body gaurds were Sargeant Major Maxwell, Lutenant Barton, and Lutenant Chang. Everyone in this room, except for these people, know the events of what happened after that. But we want to go in order of events. The five of you left to visit Doctor J, who is still alive. The point of this visit was to sign a peace treaty. What happened? We already know that you got there safe and sound." Noin took her seat.

Relena then spoke. "We got off the Foreign Minister's shuttle and walked into Doctor J's lab. He was in the middle of working on a project. The Foreign Minister stepped up to the man asking for him to sign a peace treaty so that no more war machines might be created. Doctor J's hand slipped in surprise and the project he was working on pointed in Quatre's direction. The beam went off, and Quatre fell over and started twitching on the ground." Because she was actually among friends, Relena accidentally started dropping people's titles. "I ran over to him, followed by Duo, Trowa, and Wufei. They tried to help him while protecting me, but the beam went off again. I don't know if it was an accident or not, and I was the only one not twitching. Because my eyes were closed, I could't see what was going on. I heard a few hurried footsteps, then I heard the beam go off again, and I passed out." Apparently, Relena had been awake the longest.

The four gundam pilots nodded their heads. Except for the parts they weren't consious during, the story sounded exactly as they remembered it. Noin nodded. This sounded as correct as could possibly be. She then nodded for Heero to speak.

"The five of you ended up at my place, as three year olds." A short gasp escaped Relena's lips. Wufei glared at him. Duo frowned. Trowa looked impassive. Quatre just looked shocked. Heero continued. "I can not handle three year olds." Noin looked like she was about to say something, but she didn't. "I thought I couldn't handle three year olds at least." Heero looked directly at Relena. "But Zechs can't, period." Noin burst out laughing. Everyone stared at her, except for Sally, who was having the same thought as Noin. Sally was giggling into her hand. Hilde didn't know what they were laughing about, but she knew it had to do with Zechs. Catherine was just confused. Heero continued. "So, I deposited the five of you at different places, actually having to go back to pick up the Vice Foreign Minister due to familial relations. And the fact that the Vice Foreign Minister had spilled Lutenant Commander Marquise's coffee." Noin began to laugh harder. Heero's eye started to twitch, but he did nothing.

Relena blinked. "I spilled my brother's coffee? And you had to take me back home."

"Affimative."

Noin laughed even harder... in fact, she had fallen out of her chair, and was now rolling on the floor. Everyone stared at her. Relena got up, walked over to Noin, and slapped her in the face, shocking not only Noin, but Heero. Noin glared at the Vice Foreign Minister in one of the most drastic mood swings, anyone in the room had seen. Noin didn't yell at Relena, just fumed for a while before excusing her self for the bathroom.

Wufei glanced around the room. "Is there any other questions? Because it's almost lunch time."

Duo looked at Wufei. "I like lunch."

Hilde slapped Duo. "We know that already. That wasn't what he was asking."

Sally stepped into the Ladies Room at Preventer Headquaters to hear the sound of someone vomiting. She whipped around, finding the stall that the vomiting was coming from. She found Noin crouched over the toilet bowl.

"Noin?"

Noin couldn't look up at her, as she vomited again, but she then turned to look at her. Sally quickly pulled a brown paper sack from her bag and brought Noin down to the infermary.

Duo was singing, again. Duo wouldn't stop singing. And it was driving Heero nuts. Heero wanted to hit the pilot over the head with anything. The stapler would do quite nicely even. But Heero's phone began to ring. Heero answered it, yelling at Duo to shut up. Duo was obedient, long enough for this phone conversation, which consisted of:

"Lutenant Yuy speaking."

"Heero! Lucrezia's in the hospital wing! Get your ass down here now!"

Heero hung up, grabbed his jacket and ran.

Author's Note: I was going to leave the chapter here to leave you in suspence, but my updating skills are just so indecient. You would end up waiting ages for the next chapter. So here is the rest. Enjoy!
Noin was asleep. She never slept during work hours, but she was just so tired. Sally was worried. Her plan may have gone one step too far. Way too far. But the perfect soldier's reaction would be priceless. Sally couldn't wait, but she had to. Or so she was thinking when Heero, breathless as ever burst through the hospital ward doors.

"Where is she? What happened? What's going on?" The calm collected emotionless side of Heero Yuy had completely disappeared. Sally had no idea how to handle this side of the perfect soldier. No idea at all, and she froze a minute before her professional side took over.

"Noin is in perfect condition, but..." Heero winced at that but. "She had all the symptoms of morning sickness this morning. Personally, I thought she had the flu, but no." Heero didn't seem to be catching on. But no wonder. The poor boy was completely useless when it came to knowing about anything other than war and fitting into a high school society. Sally had to tell him flat out. Or sort of. Sally was having fun torturing the poor man. "Heero, I don't know how else to put this." Heero gulped. "You're going to be a father." Heero looked at her like she had 27 heads. Father? Him? That was messed up. Really messed up. How on earth...

He sat down on the floor really hard, his face in a state of shock. That's when Zechs burst into the medical ward.

"I heard Noin was here. What's she doing here? And why's Heero on the floor?"

Sally burst out laughing. Heero didn't seem to be in the real world anymore. Heero was like the computer that had frozen from trying to compute too much. He would move again, just not for awhile. Zechs stared at the laughing Sally and the frozen Heero. What was going on? Zechs began to walk over to Noin's room. He moved to take a step into Noin's room.

Suddenly, the cold pressure of a gun being pressed against the back of his head made him stop. "You will not take one more step into that room." Zechs swirled around to see Heero was the one pointing the gun at him. Heero then put the gun away, walked into Noin's room, and slammed the door. Zechs blinked a few times, completely lost.

Noin's eyes blinked open to see Heero's face looking at her, his chin resting on her sheets. "How are you feeling?" he asked.

She smiled at him. "Better."

"Good." And he smiled at her. One of the few sincere smiles he had ever given anyone. And Noin was pleased that she had been the one to recieve that smile.

Sally was watching Heero and Noin from the window in the door. "Aw! They're so cute together! Zechs, come watch."

"I'd rather not."

"Aw, why not? Is it because you're a stupid guy who can't get a girl for the life of him?"

"No."

"Is it because you lost you're girl to a guy four years younger than you?"

"No."

"Cause I think you're kind of cute."

"No." He thought that had been a question. Sally burst out laughing.

"You are so damn stupid, Zechs."

"Did you say you think I'm cute?"

"Sure," she said slyly, giving him the eye.

"Really..." he walked over to her and tried to kiss her.

"Pervert!" She knocked him over the head. "Jesus, I hate guys who think they're fasion models."

"Sally! I need the reports on the injurys sustained in the last Preventor's skirmish." That was Wufei.

"Wufei!" she grabbed him around the waist, hugging his guts out.

"Uh, Sally?" Zechs just watched, amazed.

Author's Note: And that's that! For now anyway... cause this chapter covered alot of ground. And it's relatively long. And it ended on a funny note. Send me reviews! Lalalalala! Wee! I'm really hyper. Like you can't tell...
