Chapter 6
The real Mission
Wufei's view

As I woke up the next morning, the events of last night came flooding back. After Duo so rudely told us to leave, I simply turned around and went to my room. Behind me I heard,

"Did you see what I just saw?" Quat's voice pitched higher with each word he spoke.

"Duo will be all right." This was Trowa. Anything they said after that was blocked by my closed door. Only a few seconds after that was there a sound of banging at my door. I opened it and Heero stood in front of me, his eyes were wide.

"Duo fainted, I need your help." I suppose I didn’t react to the news fast enough for him, since he grabbed my arm, then brought me back to his room.

Once inside I saw Duo laying on his back on the floor. His eyes closed. Heero told me to go sit on the bed. He then lifted Duo up and brought him to me. I was to keep Duo in a sitting position. Heero took off his green shirt.

"Lift him up." He said. As I did, he placed the shirt underneath Duo. I settled Duo back down on the bed. Heero tried waking him up, but it seemed that the braided buffoon had fallen into deep sleep. Heero grabbed something that was on the bed behind me, or should I say, he grabbed some things. A pair of underwear and a pink package, filled with individually wrapped orange... packages. He opened the package, took out an orange package, and opened that as well. He now held a white, almost banana shapes piece of material. I remembered from one of the most embarrassing conversations I have ever had with my mother that the thing that Heero held was called a Sanitary Napkin. Heero looked from the pink package to the sanitary napkin and back again. He held up the briefs and studied them for a moment. I thought this would be the best time to show that not only did my mother tell me about Sanitary Napkins but how to use them. (She said it would be beneficial to understand the workings of my future wife).

"Give them here." I held out my hands. Heero raised his eyebrow at me for a moment then handed the Napkin and briefs over.

"Actually, I need you to hold these up and opened." I said handing the briefs back. He did. I peeled the sticky back off the Napkin and placed it in the underwear. I then wrap what my mother called ‘wings‘, around each side, taking the sticky off of them as I went. Once all was in place I stood up, satisfied with my handy work. Heero examined the finished product and gave a nod of approval. At the time I was using my own back to keep Duo in his sitting position, while I properly installed the Napkin. Then, as Heero started putting Duo’s underwear on, I had to lift him up. Once we felt it was secure, his pants went back on as well. Heero then lifted him up for a finale time, as I pulled back the bed sheets. He laid Duo down on the bed. He took the sheets from my hands and threw them over Duo. Heero then looked at me and nodded his thanks. I took this as a sign that it was time to leave.

I shook my head of last nights events as I headed downstairs. Once downstairs, a maid/ service girl was waiting to show me to the dining area. When I arrived Quatre and Trowa were already there. There was also three other people there. Two I recognized, Relena Peacecraft and the man who showed us to ours rooms, with the long blonde hair... Zechs I believe his name was. When I sat down Quatre formally introduced me to Zechs and the other guy. Zechs Merquise was the blonds one's whole name, and the other was named Treize Khushrenada. He had short, light brown hair. I didn't like the feeling I got when in Treize‘s presence. He gave me an odd look after being introduced, I also felt him staring at me throughout the meal. Heero joined us later on, saying Duo was still resting. This was of course after, Relena had jumped up and huged him hello. Some random uniformed man came and informed us that Mr. President would like to see us now. So we heading back to the meeting room we were in yesterday, after Relena hugged Heero goodbye, of course.

Two hours of sitting around later and Mr. President finally entered. There was a woman behind him, she held a stack of papers in her hands. She laid the papers on the table as Mr. President sat down. Immediately, he started talking.

"Gentlemen, I know you think you've come here to discuss further updates on the Nightstone Mission, but I'm afraid something more urgent has come to light," He paused, took a deep breath and continued. "You see my daughter has been kidnapped, I received a message via E-mail from her captives.", He passed a piece of paper to Heero, whose eyes narrowed as he read it. "As you can see this is a very serious matter we are dealing with here. I was hoping you could try and trace the E-mail back to the perpetrator and bring my daughter back home." The last part wasn't a question or plea or suggestion... it was an order.

"We can't." Heero said. He passed the paper over to me.

"What, why not?"

"Three of my men are in no condition to take on this sort of operation." Mr. President looked around at all of us.

"They all seem fine to me." Heero was beginning to become annoyed. Quatre sat up straighter, waiting to hear Heero’s reply.

"The two in front of me sustained injuries that needed stitching. They cannot perform any strenuous activates such as this operation might require. I also have one man still recovering in his room who could not join us." Mr. President looked at all of us again, especially Quatre and Trowa. Then a small grin spread his face.

"Not a problem, I have plenty of men that you can use at my disposal.", Then he became more serious. "Heero you read that note, I don't want my daughter with those men any longer then she has to be." That brought my attention back to the paper Heero had given me. It read as follows:


Dear Mr. President,
Hello. How are you feeling? I believe , I am in possession of something that is very dear to you. Your daughter. Now your probably sitting there thinking this man is lying, but if you want to put a call into Peabody University and ask them to check dorm room 112, then be my guest. You are probably wondering what it is I want in exchange for your daughter. Here, I must deliver to you another shock. There is nothing you can give me, that will make me return your daughter to you. See, I have been taking pretty girls like your daughter for years and yours will be no exception to my rules. After captivity I always send the parents a little farewell letter such as this. And I always end it the same way. Mr. President if you are now wondering why I took your daughter it is because I plan on raping and killing her.
Have a nice day,
Me.

I stared at the paper for a few more seconds, read it a couple more times. This was nothing like the cases we usually get. This didn’t include some military base or center around a house of operations containing some unknown terrorists. This was about rescuing a girl from a manic. This didn't involve explosive devices at the end, but police back up and the arrest of the man after we ‘catch’ him. Mr. President was still talking.

"..tell this is not like your usual assignments, but I'm begging you to do this for me."

"Why us?" It was Quatre to ask this. I was wondering the same thing.

"I’m choosing you because I don't want anyone else to get involved in this. That, and as you will read time is not on our side here."

"You want us to retrieve your daughter and arrest this man, that would involves the police." Said Heero.

"I want you to retrieve my daughter and KILL the basturd that did this!" No one said anything for a while. The only time we killed was in the mist of a battle, or whoever happen to be left after a five minute warning at a base that would explode. All men that we captured were simple arrested and handed over to the police.

"We can't do that, sir!" Quat's eyes were still wide from his initial shock. I handed the paper to Trowa.

"You can and you will!” Yelled the President. He slammed his fist on the table. Quatre didn't even flinch but his eyes were still huge as they bore into Mr. President.

"By law, we cannot kill this man unless we catch him in the act of killing your..."

"You will kill this man law on no law Mr. Winner, this is a direct order from me! IS THAT CLEAR!" Quatre remained silent. He looked to Heero for help but he just shook his head. He then looked to Trowa and me, but we didn't offer anymore help.

"I asked you a question Mr. Winner." Quatre glared at him.

"Yes, it is clear, Mr. President." He spat out the last part. He then stood up and stormed out of the conference room. Mr. President merrily waved him off and turned to Heero.

"Everything we know about this man is in those files. This meeting is over. You are dismissed." We left the very angry Mr. President in conference room. Quatre was waiting for us in the next room, he look as mad as ever.

"Why didn't you guys say anything?" He demanded.

"He gave a direct order, there was nothing..."

"Bullshit, you could have said ‘no’ Heero, you could have told him to find someone else to be his hit men!" He yelled.

"We were given an assignment by our superior, we'll be discharged if we refuse to do it." Heero keep his voice low and calm.

"So what! I rather be discharged then do what that maniac says!, " Quatre stepped closer to Heero, he narrowed his eyes. "Your pathetic for listening to that man, Heero, real pathetic." He said in a low voice, then he spun on his heel and stormed out of the room. Trowa looked at Heero, an apology evident in his eyes. He then walked out. I glanced at Heero, his expression was blank.

"Why did you let him yell at you that way?" I had to know. Heero wouldn't take that shit from anyone. Not even Quatre.

"Because he was right, though it doesn’t change the situation. Meet me in my room in five minutes." He then walked out of the room himself. I was about to follow suit when the door opened again. It revealed Zechs. He head was down and he was about to run into me.

"Hey." He stopped in mid stride. He saw me and smiled. My heart started beating a bit faster.

"Hey, yourself.", He then looked behind me. "Is he busy in there?" He asked indicating the room behind me which held Mr President.

"I wouldn't go in there just yet. " He put his hands on his hips. My eyes lingerd there for a few seconds longer then what would socially be accepted as a glance or mere observation.

"Oh yeah, why not?" He was staring at me so intently. I could feel the heat rise to my face.

"Umm… he's indisposed right now..." My brain wasn't working properly. His smile just grew bigger.

"I see... and where are you off to?"

"I have to meet up with Heero in a few minutes."

"Is he your boyfriend?" My eyes widened. Did he just say what I think he said?

"How did... no."

"How did I know you were gay?" I nodded, slightly, but he still caught it.

"News travels fast around these parts... Relena told me." Peacecraft! That wretched woman! How the hell did she find out?

"Is she your girlfriend?" Please say no, please say no. Was it obvious that I wanted himto say ‘no’?

"Uh no... she’s my sister. I currently single." He said as he puffed out his chest. My smile just grew wider and the heat currently in my face spread to other regions. It only got worse as he looked straight into my eyes and without saying a word, started walking towards me. Remain calm. This piece of advice got harder the closer he got. He stopped a few inches from me. He was at least an inch or two taller then myself. He started leaning in, I could feel his breath on my face... I could hear the door behind me open. Zechs Backed up. As he backed up I realized that all he told me was that he was single, not was his peference was. Though it might be a bit obvious now, just in case, I should ask him later. I plan to ask him later.

"Hey, Uncle." Uncle! He was Mr. President's nephew!

"Hello, Zechs." Said Mr. President.

"Can I talk to you for a minute." Mr. President looked from me to Zechs and back again.

"Sure thing." He turned back around and reentered the conference room. Zechs followed behind. He half turned, looked my straight in the eyes, and said.

"See you around, Wufei." As I left the room all I could think was... he remembered my name! Score! Crap, I beginning to sound like Duo, this is not accepectable to me.

But that doesn’t change the fat that he still remembered.

I arrived at Heero’s room soon after. I expected to see Maxwell there, but not Relena.

"Why don't you just admit that you've wanted to shag Yuy since day one, Oh, Hey Wuffles!" I decided not to remind him what my real name was this time and just nodded. Relena said ‘hi’ too, and Yuy just look up from his laptop. He was already in mission mode, as the laptop displayed a bunch of numbers and the file he was given laid opened on the bed, next to him. Duo was also next to him, sitting up on the bed. Relena was standing in front of the two. Heero told Relena that we had some important things to discuss and asked her to leave. Which made Maxwell very happy. Once she left I went to stand next to Heero, he moved over and gave me some room to sit on the edge.

"So what do we have here?" Duo asked once Relena shut the door.

"Nothing, that concerns you." Heero said in a flat voice.

"What do you mean, we got another assignment right?" Duo started inching toward Heero.

"Myself and Wufei did, your not going on this one." Heero stopped typing, waiting, for Duo’s response.

"WHAT! Why the fuck not!?!" Heero turned he head and stared at Duo a bit. Duo looked down and muttered an 'oh.' He looked up again.

"Well, when do you think you’ll be leaving for this thing?" He asked, he also started playing with the end of his braid.

"As soon as I found out where we're going." Duo eyes widened. He put his hand on Heero back and whispered (though I could still hear him just fine.)

"But who’s gonna help me with my... stuff." He looked at me before he said 'stuff’. Did he think me dense?

"Trowa and Quatre are staying as well, I'll explain things to them before I leave." Duo didn't seem to like this idea at all. He moved closer to Heero and put his head on his back.

"But why to you have to leave so soon." He whined.

"Orders." Duo gave a sign and wrapped his arms around Heero waist. I waited for Heero to push him off but he chose to ignore it instead. He began typing again as well.

"Wufei, look though the past letters he sent and see if you can find a pattern." I grabbed the folder. Duo turned his face to me, but still had his head resting against Heero’s back.

"What letters?" I knew better then to answer. Duo wasn't assigned this mission, therefore all information pertaining to it was confidential, even from him. Duo knew this too as he turned his head back the other way.

"The next three hours was spent looking though the file line by line, as Heero tried breaking into the man's computer system, (we know he has one since the letter was typed) which is hard when you don't really know what system you should be trying to break into. I read each of the other letters he sent to the victims parents. The difference between them was that in the one to Mr. President, the man mentioned here being others, that was left out in all the other letters. They all did say…’you think I'm lying’ ...’ go check or call,’ and usual he gave a school and dorm room number, and the 'be my guest' phase. And every letter ending the same.

'If you are now wondering why I took your daughter it is because I plan on raping and killing her.'.

In the end all I concluded was it had to be a male if he said 'rape' and that he had a thing for rich girls all across the country. In fact the only pattern I found was that each girl was in a different state. But the states had no pattern. The weren't close together, or in alphabetical order. But figuring that out would only help me find his next victim not his current one. Since the kidnapping happened a day ago, all this information limited Heero search to only every computer system in this region. (we didn’t think the kidnapper was far, or at least we hoped he wasn’t.)

"Heero, we're not getting anywhere,". I had to say it. "Why don't we give it a rest for a while. Maybe something will come to us during lunch."

"We can't talk in front of the rest of them."

"Then whatever we come up with we'll say it when we come back." Heero still hadn't stopped typing. I was hungry and knew if I kept looking at these papers I would need to be institutionalized soon. I looked at the now sleeping form of Duo against Heero’s back and it gave me an idea.

"Besides Yuy, when was the last time Maxwell ate?" That got him to stop typing. He seemed to finally realize that Duo was there, as he looked down as his waist and then turned his head to the side.

"All right, we'll stop for now. You go on ahead and I’ll get him ready." He said, tilting his head back to Maxwell. I nodded and left the room.

When I entered the dining area I was very pleased to see a certain long, blonde, angel already sitting, and patting, the seat next to him when I entered.


Quatre view

I can't believe him! He’s actually going to do it, because what... 'direct' orders! What was with Trowa, just letting me sit there like that, making me look like I was crazy for speaking up. Well speak of the devil. Trowa chose this time to approach me. At first he just stood next to me, not sure what to do.

"You still mad."

"What do you think! Why didn't you say anything, Barton?" I only call him by his last name when I'm mad.

"Quat it's not even our mission. We have no right to..."

"No right! No right to say that it's wrong to kill a man unless he did something that IS punishable by death! It's just a kidnapping for Christ’s sake!" I was breathing hard now. I couldn’t believe they couldn't see what was wrong with all this.

"You didn't read the note Quat." My anger deflated just like that.

"What note?"

"The note the kidnapper sent to Mr. President. Look Quat, I don't remember all of it but the guy did say that the only reason he kidnapped the girl was to... well.." Trowa didn't seem to know how to finish. He looked around then leaned in so he could talk in my ear.

"He said he would rape and kill her." He moved his head back a bit, but still keep it a few inches from mine. My eyes went wide and my mouth made a big O shape. What a terrible thing to say, or plan to do to someone. That would explain Mr. President’s outburst back there.

"That's terrible... that's still doesn't mean he deserves to die though... he just needs help, a lot of it." Trowa just smiled and shook his head from side to side. He leaned in and kissed my forehead. The sensation made my whole body tingle from the very pleasant surprise.

"You can't save everyone Quat. Besides there are other ways to get rid of someone without death."

"I know, I just wished everyone else said it was wrong, back in the meeting."

"I know, I'm sorry, I should have said something." That made me feel a little better, but I was still mad at Heero for agreeing to do it so quickly, without protest. Trowa leaned in to kiss me again. I tilted my head up so our lips met this time. I loved kissing Trowa. He made every kiss seem like it was our first, just as exiting, just as surprising, just as unforgettable. I felt him tongue move across my lips. It's tickles a bit so I opened my mouth to giggle, but felt he tongue go inside my mouth. That made me stop. I pulled away quickly and wiped my mouth. The sensation was so strange as I had felt the moving musle against mine. I was so shocked I guess I might have over reacted a bit to it.

"What was that for, that's gross." Trowa just frowned, so I tried to explain better, the awkwardness I was feeling.

"Trowa, do you know how many germs are on someone tongue?" That wasn’t what I planed on saying but that was what came out.

"That shouldn't matter if you care about someone." He was still frowning. No, that’s not what I mean/meant!

"I care about you..."

"And you didn't seem to mind Wufei's tongue as it slid down your cock." He said this in a much fiercer tone. I can't believe he said that. And I thought I was overreacting, that was just plain uncalled for. Those two things are completely unrelated and he knows it!

"I can't believe you said that!

"It's true."

"But that's a completely different thing!"

"To me it isn't." He walked past me to his room. I marched right after him. He went in his room and was about to shut the door, when I took it from him and shut it myself.

"So kissing and giving head are all the same to you?" As watched as the anger drained from his eyes.

"Maybe... no... I’m sorry I said that." I looked into his eyes again, I could tell he was sorry.

"It's all right." We stood there for a few minutes in silence. Then Trowa look me right in the eye, then his eyes scaned my entire face, then he looked all over my body. It took a few seconds, but I realized what he was doing. Heero had said I had sustain an injury that needed stitching. Trowa was looking for it.

"Quat?"

"What?" I said a little to quickly. Real smooth Quatre.

"Heero said you got stitched up, but where?" This was the one conversation I had managed to avoid for... three, four days or so. Gee it seems like it should be longer, so much had happened over these past couple of days.

"Quatre?"

"What?"

"Where did you get hurt?"

"In a place you can't see." I know it sounded childish but I didn’t care, but it was the wrong way to answer as his eyebrows knitted together. Fear spread across his face.

"You mean like with Duo..."

"NO, not like Duo." His face visibly relaxed. He walked up to me and started walking around me. 'In a place I can't see.' He would mumble once in a while.

“What are you doing?” I asked. He circling was making me nervous.

"Will you take your shirt off for me?" He caught me off guard as he asked this in such a nice, calm, and soothing voice. But I could see where this would eventually lead, so I tried to fend him off.

"Only if you do." Surely then this game would end before it got THAT far.

"All right." He said after a few moments. He did. He took off his shirt. I've seen him without it before. But being in his bedroom of sorts, playing a 'show me yours and I’ll show you mine' type of game, made it look ten times sexier. I wanted to run my hands down his chest, Heck, I wanted to run my tongue down it .. and maybe down a little further. I was so far into my fantasy Trowa that I hadn't noticed the real one had walked right up to me and was now tugging my shirt off. I came back to reality as I saw my shirt hit the floor. I just stared at it for a few seconds wondering how it got there. I looked up and Trowa was gone. The I felt hands, his hands on my back. The blood inside me didn’t know where to run but my heart just kept pumping it as an unnatural speed none the less. I leaned into the touch.

"Nothing here." He took his warm hands away and came back around front. He stared at me, then at my pants. He looked back at me.

"Will you take off your pants for me?" Should I? It can't go farther then this... I won't let it.

"Only if you do." I started to like this game. And by the time I finished replying Trowa was already unzipping his jeans. His naked legs looked just as great as the rest of him. He was also wearing briefs. Blue briefs... tight blue briefs that left nothing to the imagination. Suddenly I knew this was a very bad idea. I could feel myself getting hard in Duo boxers ( I usually wear briefs but due to my injury). This had to stop now or else it would be PAINFULLY obvious where my injury was. Besides he has to figure it out by now... oh wait I still didn't take my pants off yet. I looked to where Trowa was standing last. He wasn't there. I glanced behind me, wasn't there. I felt a tug on my cargo pants. I looked down, and there he was. Again before I could say anything, I found my pants around my ankles. Trowa face was level with my crouch. The sight of him there made me harder, and this time I felt my stitches stretch a little. I winced, I tried not to, but I did and he saw it. He quickly looked around my legs to see if he had somehow hit my injury. He looked back up at me as I bit my lip. He then looked straight ahead of him. It clicked. He put he hands on each side of my boxers.

"Will you take off..."

"No." Trowa just continued to stare at me.

"You did get hurt somewhere, didn't you?" I nodded. He put his hand ever so lightly on my penis.

"Here." I shook my head no, while my other head rose up to try to meet Trowa touch. Another wave of pain shot though me.

"Why don't you just tell me." I looked so worried and almost scared as I winced a third time.

"Just see for yourself." I said though clenched teeth. Trowa was about to stand up but I pushed him back down .

"Quat?"

"Just look."

"Your sure." I nodded. He slowly pulled down my boxers. When I saw his face meet my bare penis, I got a harder and it raised a little higher. I gasped in pain. Trowa gasped as well , but not from pain but from shock. I saw him reach, about to touch me.

"Stop!" His hand froze in mid air. He looked up at me and seemed to understand, thank heavens.

"Just close your eyes and think of... Duo naked, " My penis twitched happily and I winced.

"Interesting... kay, I won't mention the guys... think of ...Relena Peacecraft naked." I quickly closed my eyes. What I saw scared me. I heard a small laugh and opened my eyes. My penis was returning to normal.

"That did the trick." He said and smiled, I smiled back. He stood up and walked to his jeans and started putting them on, which was good because if he put my cloths on the way he took them off I would have to envision Relena all over again...scary.

"Crap!"

"What?" He was now reaching for his shirt. I had yet to put anything back on.

"We're all eating dinner together later.. Relena will be there..." He laughed.

"Yes, yes she will."

"Some help you are." Just then, there was a knock on the door. Trowa walked over and was about to answer but stopped, and he turned. He looked back at me a grinned.

"You might want to get dressed now." I looked down. I was completely naked! Another knock on the door.

"Just a minute." Trowa yelled. I pulled up my boxers and pants and one big swoop, then franticly look around for my shirt.

"Behind you." I looked behind me, grabbed and pulled on my shirt. I gave Trowa the go ahead and he opened the door. That's when I notice my shirt was on backwards.. but I had no time to fix it cause whoever was at the door, Trowa had already let them in. It was Heero. The second I saw him, my eyes narrowed as I glared.

"He's still mad from before?" He directed the question to Trowa.

"Afraid so." Was Trowa’s reply as he ran his hand though his hair.

"Please don't talk about me as if I'm not in the room." I said in an aggravated tone. Heero looked directly at me.

"Look I don't want to kill this guy anymore then you would." That made me mad.

"If that were true you would have said 'no.' " He knew I was right as he sighed.

"I didn't come here to fight Quatre, I need you guys to take care of Duo while I'm gone." I wasn't so mad anymore when I heard this. Though I still wanted to be.

"When are you leaving?" Trowa ask the question I was thinking.

"After dinner. I still have to go over the plan with the new recruits."

"New recruits?" I couldn't help but ask.

"It'll will work better with five men." Was all he said.

"What do you want us to do for Duo." Heero seemed happy for the change of subject... or was it the mention of Duo's name...

"Not much, carry him down to meals and to the bathroom. You both will have to do it with your injuries.", Heero thought for a moment. "Quatre, I want you to be the one that changes his... pad thing," I knew he said this cause I was the one with all the sisters... that and I introduced him to those 'pad things'. "And just check up on him once in a while so he doesn't get bored... or lonely." He looked back from me to Trowa, waiting for our response.

"Sure Heero, we can do that." I said. He gave a small grin, nodded and left.

"Poor Duo," I said. Trowa waited for me to explain. "He can't even walk and you know his attention span." Trowa nodded.

"Poor us." He said.

That evening we headed down to dinner. (We had our lunch brought up to us and had a picnic of sorts.) We were the first ones to arrive. The dinning room had four chairs at each side and one at each end. I didn't want to sit near Heero, knowing he would sit next to Duo, I decided the two middle chairs on the right side was best. I few seconds later, Zechs came in. He said his hello and sat on the furthest side on the right. Trowa raised his eyebrow at him.

"Need to talk with the President." Was all he said. The next person to arrive was Wufei. He oddly enough sat next to Zechs. They whispered their hellos, as well as a couple of other things. I wondered if they sat together at lunch. Not that I mind if Wufei has found someone else... so soon. Heck, it was only yesterday that he was coming after me. My thoughts were interrupted when Heero and Duo walked in, actually Heero walked and Duo was carried in. He was about to sit him on the last chair on the left, but at the last second decided against it and sat Duo next to Wufei. He was also a across from Trowa now. Duo said hello but kept his dead down. I knew why he was down, Heero had most likely told him he was leaving after dinner.

Relena was the next one to enter. You could see the disappointment in her eyes as she saw that Heero was sitting at the end with Duo on his other side. She said hi and kiss Heero on the cheek anyway, something that made Duo narrow his eyes just a little bit. She then sat down next to Trowa, so she was across from Heero. She immediately began talking to him about this and that.

"The house has been so boring, until you guys came along. I heard you went on a fake mission, does that mean you will be going on the real one soon?" She tilted her head to the side and batted her eye lashes. I couldn't watch anymore but I did hear Heero say, "You know I can't discuss that with you." I looked around and Wufei and Zechs were still whispering among themselves. I turned to Trowa and motioned for him to bring his head down to my level. He did.

"What do you think is going on between those to?" I jerked my head in Wufei and Zech's direction. Trowa glanced their way then looked back at me.

"Looks like talking to me, why?" Was he being sarcastic? I can’t tell with him sometimes.

"Their talking awful close." I whispered.

"So are we."

"Exactly." He finally seemed to get what I was talking about as he glanced at the pair and nodded.

"Does that bother you?"

"No," This was said to quickly and he waited for the truth. "A little bit." I turned my gaze downward. He put his hand under my chin and lifted it up, as my eyes went back up to his. He was about to say something when more people walked in. Both of us looked at the doorway. Mr. President came in, followed by his wife. I have only met the wife a couple of times, usually at dinners such as this. This evening she looked terrible. I mean she's pretty in all but a line of worry was embedded into her forehead. She looked like she would black out at a moments notice. She had her arm latched onto that Treize's arm. I don't know what it was about that guy but he just made me feel uneasy. He helped the Misses into her chair at the other end. For a split second I had thought that she would be the one to sit next to me. But as I saw her being seating and Treize make his way to the empty chair next to me, (Mr. President was already seated at his end of the table) and I knew better. With everyone seated, it went like this, from the door: Mrs. President, (at the end)then to her right, Relena, Trowa, me and Treize, Mr. President (at other end), with Zechs, Wufei, Duo and Heero, on the left side of the table.

Throughout the dinner, Treize shifted from trying to make small talk with me to whispering with Mr. President. At the other end of the table Relena was still talking to Heero, with Mrs. President interjecting once and a while. All the while, when Duo thought it best he would succeed in sneaking his hand across the table and snagging food from Relena plate. Heero seems very amused by his antics, plus he didn't seem to be really paying attention to anything Relena was saying. Duo turned to Wufei, who was listening to Zechs and Mr. President talk. Duo tapped his arm to get his attention. It worked.

"So what's going on between you and blondie." He nodded his head toward Zechs.

"He name is Zechs." Duo grinned wider.

"Fine, what going on between you and Sexy Zechsey?" Wufei glared at the nickname.

"I don't know what your talking about." Duo kept grinning.

"I not stupid Wuboy.."

"You sure fooled me."

"You two have been gossiping like a couple of schools girls throughout this entire meal." Duo made sure to keep his voice low but I could still hear the interaction. I could see a blush rise in Wufei's cheeks.

"We've just talking, Maxwell."

"Surrre, but lets face it," he made a fake sniff, "your cheating on me." Then another fake sniff. Wufei just rolled his eyes. Then he grinned. It was an evil grin, one that made me lean forward a little bit, I didn't want to miss what was said next.

"The only one who is the cheat is you, Maxwell." Duo's smile faded. Wufei’s grin grew wider.

"What do you mean?" He put his hand to his chest for fake shock, but I could see the REAL surprise on his face. Wufei gestured his head forward, indicating the person behind Duo. Duo turned around saw Heero and quickly turned around again as he blushed, his head down.

"I'm not stupid either, Maxwell, " Duo looked up at his name. "I was in Heero’s room today too, or do you forget about me completely when he's around?" Wufei voice was low and I stained my neck to hear it. But whatever Duo's reply was, I didn't get to hear.

"So how long have you two been together?" Treize was trying to make conversation again. It was hard for him in a sense, the sense that he still crepes me out a bit. I was about to ask how he knew about me and Trowa (he did the head thing to indicate he meant me and him) So I glanced at Trowa and noticed my hand in his. When did that happen? I thought back to what Treize had asked.

"For a couple of days now." Again so much had happened since now and the motel it seemed it should have been longer.

"That's nice, so what's the situation with your young friend there? He tilted his head toward Wufei, who was still talking low with Duo. A conversation I would rather be in. He wanted to know about Wufei. His situation? That's just a little vague.

"What do you mean?"

"I mean... How did he come about working for my father, how did any of you?" For some reason I don't think that was the question he wanted to ask, but I answered him anyway.

"I was approached by one of your father's agents and was asked if I wanted to work for him, well for his company. I don't know if it went the same way for the rest of us, you'll have to ask Wufei for his story." I hoped he would and leave me alone. Besides if he wanted know something about Wufei he should just ask him... not me.

"I will, when he is less preoccupied with his friend there." He said the word 'friend' in a none to kind manner. For the rest of the meal he didn't say anything else to me. He also didn't speak to Wufei, though I did notice him giving him one to many glances. Duo and Wufei had started taking about that shack we had stayed in and some room that smelled bad. That didn't hold my interest as much as what they were talking about before... what happened in Heero's room? Trowa had joined their conversation, saying what he remembered from that night. Which wasn't much after the point where he got shot. Poor Heero looked completely bored as Relena talked his ear off. Whatever she had just said got Mrs. President exited as she started talking as well. The two girls went back and forth as Heero scanned the table. His eyes feel on me. For a few minutes we just stared at each other. Part of me was still mad, but the other part knew that I wasn't good at holding grudges. I didn't want Heero to leave thinking I was still mad at him.

"So your saying us getting captured is your fault?" Said Trowa beside me. This drew me back to the their conversation.

"Well... actually it was Heero's idea to go scouting in the first place." Duo said in his defense. Heero looked over at the sound of his name.

"What are you guys talking about?" Asked Zechs. That's when the guy realized they had been discussing the details of a mission in front of others, something that isn’t allowed. They didn't mean to, back at headquarters, we all would sit around going over every detail of our missions while we ate.

"Nothing." They all said in unison. That caused Heero to glare at the three as the whole table went quiet. Yep, even Relena stopped talking. Everyone was quiet for the rest of the meal.

We made our way back to our rooms in silence. I followed Heero as he entered his, with Duo in his arms. I watched as he laid Duo down and turned around. (Most likely to shut the door.) He saw me and froze.

"Listen Heero, I not sorry for what I said to you this morning... well except the part about you being pathetic, I sorry for that, but other wise I'm not. I just came here to say I shouldn't have gotten as mad as I did. It wasn't my place to." There, I had said what I had come to. Heero nodded. He way of accepting my apology, I guess. Feeling a little out of place I decided I should go. As I left Heero followed me out. At first he didn't say anything.

"Is something wrong, Heero?" He shook he head.

" When I came to visit you and Trowa, I noticed you had your shirt on the wrong way..."

"So." But I knew I had been busted.

"And I heard Trowa tell you to get dressed," Damn thin walls. "I just want to remind that you are injured and should refrain from... such activities." I could tell he was becoming more and more uncomfortable.

"I'll remember." His face relaxed a bit. He nodded once and turned to enter his room again.

"Heero?,” He turned his head. "Be careful." He gave a small smile.

"You too."

"Of what?"

"Trowa." His smile grew bigger as he entered his room. I couldn't help but smile as I entered mine. My smile only grew as I saw Trowa lying on my bed, reading a book... wait that's not a book. My smile vanished as I realized what it was. My journal.
