Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Lost Hope Found ❯ Hating New Orders ( Chapter 1 )

Disclaimer: Again, I do not own Gundam Wing. If I did, you would never see Heero again because he would be tied to my bed for my own pleasure. I do, however, own Katie and anything that comes with her.

 

Chapter 1

 

“THE HELL I WILL!” a voice echoed throughout the corridors, startling many as they went about their daily work.

Lady Une winced at the man who stood before her; the volume of his roar hurt her already aching head. She raised her eyes to look into his and sighed at the fury and discontentment there.

“Listen Duo, I know that you are upset, but-” she started to say but as soon as the words left her mouth she instantly regretted them. His cobalt eyes darkened until they were almost black with his rage. Death was the promise that they gave as he leaned forward to stare at her.

“You are sending me to protect a silly woman just because she asks you for a favor? I'm a Gundam Pilot damn it, not a fuckin' babysitter! My time could best be spent here then running around wiping some girl's soiled ass!” he growled menacingly.

Lady Une stared in shock at the young man's words. For an instant, her heart yearned to have the old Duo in front of her other then the monster he had become. Everyone talked about his change since Hilde died. The once happy go lucky young man was replaced with a cold hearted conniving bastard the moment the bullet shattered Hilde's breast.

The sound of shattering glass shook Lady Une from her thoughts. Dismay clouded her vision until nothing else was important except for the sight of Duo with his fist through a window. He pulled back slowly and let the blood drip from his hand to the ground, leaving a small trail of blood with every step he took towards her. His black eyes shone with hate as he looked intently at her face.

She knew this tactic; she had seen it done by many of her enemies. He was trying to intimidate her into throwing away the orders she gave him. Her face hardened as she whipped out her pistil and aimed it between his eyes.

“I am your superior officer and you will obey the orders that I have issued you. Also, the window you shattered will come out of your paycheck. Now sit down and listen to what I have to say or else I will through you in the brig,” she ordered, the old glasses wearing Lady Une shining through for a moment.

Duo barely blinked through their exchange, but shrugged his shoulders and plopped down in the chair in front of her desk. The woman sighed in relief and put her weapon away.

“So who's the bitch I have to watch?”

Lady Une shook her head at the usage of his words, but answered him none the less. She slid a folder across the desk and began explaining.

“Her name is Katalina Angles. She is the granddaughter of the now deceased Doctor J.”

Duo looked up at that name, recognition sweeping into his gaze. Lady Une nodded and continued.

“Recently there have been threats against the girl's life. Phone messages, letters, and break-ins have been occurring in the past two months. For Doctor J's help in the war, it was decided that we would do anything we could to help the girl,” Lady Une concluded.

Duo sat there absorbing the information he was given. He flipped open the folder that had copies of phone calls and letters that the girl had sent them. No information was given about the girl in question. Duo raised an eyebrow at this and turned back to his superior officer.

“What do they want?”

The question was simple and to the point, but none the less stumped Lady Une. Silence echoed around the room as he waited for her answer.

“Um…she didn't want to talk about that,” the lady muttered sheepishly. Duo threw up his hands in aggravation and shouted:

“Then how the hell do I protect her if I don't know what I'm looking for?”

“Duo, please listen to me,” Lady Une began, “I know that this may seem like you are being demoted or something. But please, this girl needs our help. Her life is being threatened, for reasons we don't know about, but none the less being threatened. Just go to her house hand meet the woman. Get the basics of the job and then come to me with what you found. But you will do this Duo. Do I make myself clear?”

Duo shrugged his shoulders in defeat. His eyes traveled to the address in the folder. It was on Earth, he knew that much. It was also very near the Preventer's Headquarters. The sullen young man sighed and walked out of the office, without a by your leave to his boss.

“My life is hell…” he whispered.

 

~Hmmmmm, do you think I should stop it there? I don't know….naw, I'll go on~

 

The house that Duo stopped in front of reminded him instantly of Hilde. It was a two story Victorian, painted white. The shutters and trimming were black, as was the banister of the wrap around porch.

`This would have been your dream home Hilde.' He thought with sadness. As he strode across the perfectly cut lawn, he noticed the unusual array of wild flowers that scattered around the house. His steps were light as he went up the stairs and stopped to glare at the front door. He rang the doorbell once and turned to look across the lawn as he waited.

`Thanks a lot Lady Une,” he thought grudgingly, `Now I've been demoted to ass wiper.'

“Oh, are you the man that Lady Une sent? It's very nice of you to come,” a chipper voice sounded behind him.

Duo was torn from his thoughts at the noise. His eyes widened in recognition as he swiveled to stare in horror at the woman who had opened the door.

 

“OH HELL NO!”

 

Hmmm… can you guess who was at the door? Anyhoo, send me a review if you liked it. Even if you didn't, please give me some feedback. And don't worry, the other hottie Gundam Pilots will be arriving in the next chapter or two. BYE BYE!
