Crossing Paths

by Izanami Hime

Disclaimers: Gundam Wing is not mine. I wish it was but I'm not that creative. You'll agree with me when you start reading my fanfic. The only characters that are mine are Suiri, Aya, Tanoshi, Shizuka, Meiyo, and any other characters that don't belong in GW. Thanks for reading it. Please send me mail. Flames are welcome too. I like to know when I really suck at something, but please remember this is my first attempt at fanfic writing.


Part 10

It was around 4pm when Tanoshi reached the hotel she would be staying at with 'princess pain in the ass'.

She entered the lobby and almost fainted from shock. Standing in line to get a room was none other than Duo Maxwell. She quickly recovered from her shock and sneaked up behind him.

"What are you doing here Duo?" He turned around and it was his turn to be shocked.

"Uh Tanoshi, fancy meeting you here." He laughed nervously while scratching the back of his head.

They got out of the line and went over to a couch in the lobby. Once they were seated Tanoshi repeated her question.

"So Duo, why are you here." She was thinking like a gundam pilot now, not a surprised girlfriend.

"Well um uh I'm here uh because I was told to be here?"

"And who told you to be here?"

Duo thought about what he could say. "Some guy you wouldn't know him."

She glared at him. "Try me."

Duo took a deep breath. "I'm here because Professor G asked me to."

He smiled weakly. Tanoshi again was in shock. "Did you just say Professor G?"

Duo nodded. "How do you know G?"

Tanoshi nervously played with her hair. "Um well he sorta raised me after I got off the streets. He trained me."

Duo eyes got big as saucers as realization hit him.

"You're a gundam pilot aren't you?"

/**************************************/

Tanoshi nodded. "How do you know Prof. G Duo?"

Duo let out a sigh. "Well Tanoshi hon, I also was trained by him. I also am a gundam pilot."

"WHAT!? How can this be? I thought me and the other girls were the only pilots."

"You mean Suiri and the other girls you transferred with are pilots too?"

"Yeah. Are Heero and the guys you transferred with pilots?" Duo nodded.

"And let me guess you're here on a mission to save Relena Peacecraft." He nodded again.

"Well Duo it seems that the mad five have screwed up and sent us both on the same mission.

They obviously didn't want us to know about each other, or we would have been told to expect each other."

"You're right. Since we're both here ya wanna do the mission with me?" Tanoshi smiled.

"Sure, it'll be fun. By any chance does the princess of peace like you at all, because she hates my guts."

Duo shook his head. "Nope, Relena-san hates me too. Not that I'm very fond of her either. To tell you the truth I think it's a sick joke that I got sent out here. I mean she adores Heero, so why not send him?"

Tanoshi nodded in agreement. "I know what you mean. Relena really likes Suiri. She seems to think she's her best friend, but she hates me because I refuse to adore her. In the first school I went to with her I played some pretty mean tricks on her."

She said smiling at the memory of what she had done to the Peacecraft girl.

"I made the mistake of trying to save her. I had just finished my first mission on earth, when I saw a boy pointing a gun at her. I shot the guy who turned out to be Heero, and Relena went in hysterics. She was like 'What do you want to shoot him for?' I was confused when she went over and used a strip of her skirt to stop the bleeding in his arm and leg. Ever since she's hated my guts."

Tanoshi laughed. "Well it seems we have more in common than we thought. Anyways, how are we gonna do this mission? We need to get in and out without arousing anyone's attention?"

/**************************************/

It was around 9 p.m. when Duo and Tanoshi reached the base where Relena was being held. They went around back, and entered through a vent that took them right above Relena's cell.

There they overheard some OZ soldiers talking.

"When do you think those gundam pilots are gonna show up?"

"We'll know. Those pilots always come through where the most soldiers are, so they can destroy the base after their rescue." Duo almost laughed.

"Man are they in for a surprise."

"Yeah, I think this is why we got sent on this mission. We're the only ones who can pull off this kind of stealth mission."

Once the soldiers walked away Duo and Tanoshi popped out of the vent. Relena didn't even notice. They just stood behind Relena for a moment and tried not to laugh.

"Geez Duo either we're really good or Relena's just too dumb to realize we're here."

Duo thought about that for a moment before answering. "I think it's both. We're really good, but she's still dumb."

Tanoshi couldn't help it she laughed.

At the sound Relena turned around and saw the two people she hated most.

"What are you two doing here?" Tanoshi smiled.

"Is that the way you talk to the people who are getting you outta here?"

Relena pouted for a minute. "Fine let's go."

Duo opened the vent and did an over exaggerated bow. "Your majesty."

Relena looked at the vent in horror. "You can't possibly expect me to climb into that thing."

Tanoshi had to try her hardest not to slap the princess and shove her into the vent. Instead she settled for yelling at her.

"Listen princess if you don't get your ass into that vent right now we're gonna leave and blow you up with the base!"

"I refuse to crawl in that kind of filth." Tanoshi grabbed Relena's wrist and dragged her into the vent.

"Okay let's go."

Duo set some remote mines in the cell then climbed into the vent.

He instantly had to stop a fist fight between the two girls. He had to admit that seeing Tanoshi beat up Relena would be funny, but they had to complete this mission first.

"Okay girls cut it out. We gotta get the princess outta here."

Tanoshi led the way out while Duo planted more bombs in the vent. Once they were out of the blast radius Duo set off the bombs, and totaled the base.

Tanoshi looked at him and they both said "Mission Complete."

"Well isn't that cute. Death and his girlfriend." Tanoshi turned to glare at Relena.

"What the hell is your problem? Huh? We just rescued you from OZ and this is the thanks we get! We should have just you blown up the base with you still in it!"

Relena and Tanoshi started fighting again. Duo scratched the back of his head. "Uh Tanoshi as much as I'd love to see you beat the shit out Relena we don't have time for this right now. We've gotta get back to the hotel."

"But I want to go back to the Sanc Kingdom not a hotel."

"We'll take you home tomorrow. Tonight we are going to a hotel." Tanoshi grabbed Relena's wrist again and stalked off in the direction of the car they had 'borrowed'.


/**************************************/

Back in the hotel room the three of them got ready for bed.

Then Relena asked a question that had been nagging at her since she first saw her two rescuers earlier that day.

"So when did you two meet anyway? Every other time I've seen you two you didn't seem to know about each other." Tanoshi looked at the princess, surprised that she was capable of asking an intelligent question.

"Well actually we just met yesterday." Relena fell out the chair she had been sitting in.

"WHAT!?"

Duo laughed. "Yeah we met in class yesterday. But we only found out about each other being gundam pilots earlier today."

"Figures"

Relena got up and went to the bathroom to wash up. Once the door closed Tanoshi fell on one of the beds laughing.

"Man can you believe she knew about us before we did. That's kinda creepy. And she is majorly starting to bug me."

"I know. At least we'll be rid of her tomorrow." Tanoshi sat up.

"I guess so." Relena walked out of the bathroom.

"I'm going to bed now." Duo walked over to his bed.

"That's not such a bad idea. I'm sacking it too."

Tanoshi walked over to the bed she was supposed to share with Relena.

"Okay, goodnight Duo." She pulled back the covers on one side of the bed, started to get in, but was stopped by Relena.

"Just what do you think you're doing?"

"I am going to bed."

"Who said I was going to share a bed with you Tanoshi?"

"Well where the hell do you expect me to sleep the floor?"

"I don't care but I refuse to sleep in the same bed as YOU!"

"Fine!" Tanoshi stomped over to Duo's bed.

"Uh Duo can I sleep in your bed tonight? Princess Peacebitch won't share her bed."

Duo smiled. "If you wanted to sleep with me all you had to was ask."

Tanoshi smiled. "Very funny."

She slipped into the bed and yawned.

"Night Duo. See ya tomorrow."

"Night Tanoshi." She quickly fell asleep, and Duo couldn't help but think how beautiful she was.
