Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Missing Her ❯ Worth Dying For... ( Chapter 7 )

[ P - Pre-Teen ]

Disclaimer: I do not own and did not create Gundam wing. I do own and did not create any of the characters from Gundam Wing. If I owned it however…. I would be living like a God… instead of getting bugged by my mom every two days to clean my room…. That being said, on with chapter 7.
 
“Good morning, sunshine.”
 
Wife's eyebrow twitched at the sound of an abnormally happy voice which he could only identify, and quite rightly, as the excessively happy Duo Maxwell… calling him sunshine. Needless to say, Wufei was in the mood to take his Chinese broad sword and cut off Duo's lower appendage.
 
“What in the hell are you doing here?” Wufei asked through clenched teeth as he cringed at the sudden invasion of overwhelming light into his room. He could imagine Duo's grin widening at the mere possibility of annoying him.
 
“Something's up with Heero.” Duo replied. Wufei forgot to struggle and opened his eyes to look directly at Duo at this comment, ignoring the pain as light struck his sleep filled eyes.
 
“What's wrong?” Wufei asked, worried.
 
“He's missing.” Duo answered.
 
“Missing?”
 
Duo nodded. Shit.
 
Wufei shoved a mockingly pouting Duo off his bed and looked around for actual clothing, seeing as he was only wearing sweat pants. He grabbed his glasses and threw on a t-shirt, before grabbing his sword and leaving the room with a laughing-his-head-off-at-Wufei-in-glasses Duo Maxwell following.
 
In the living room, Quatre and Trowa were waiting. They were dressed and both were obviously carrying guns. After all, if someone had the power to bring down Heero, they were well prepared and ready for a fight. That was exactly what they would give them. Wufei, along with the others, were all prepared to give them the fight of their lives - as well as fully kicking their asses to L4 and back.
 
“What do we know?” Wufei asked the others. They all looked between each other.
 
“He went out around seven last night, hasn't come back.” Trowa said. Quatre sighed.
 
“Why are we worried about this, exactly?” he asked. Every one looked at Quatre in shock.
 
“Because, there are still people who want war, remember?” Trowa said. Duo and Wufei nodded in agreement.
 
“There will always be people who want war.” Quatre replied.
 
“Yes, but with the current media circus over the marriage between Relena and an ex-gundam pilot, things have heated. Relena was attacked last night.” Duo said. Wufei looked shocked.
 
“Attacked?” he asked. The others nodded.
 
“Haven't you heard? It's been on the news all morning.” Quatre told him. Duo scoffed.
 
“Ol' justice man here was still sleeping when I came into his room.” Duo said. Wufei glared at Duo.
 
“What time is it?” he asked.
 
“It's three in the afternoon.” Quatre answered. Wufei sighed.
 
“Relena's been attacked and Heero's missing.” Wufei stated, shaking his head as he tried to absorb the information. “How's Relena?”
 
“She wasn't at work this morning.”
 
“How's she doing?” Wufei asked.
 
“We were going to head over there first.” Trowa stated.
 
“Okay.”
 
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllll
 
“Oh dear.” said Quatre.
 
“…..” was Trowa's response.
 
“HOLY SHIT.” Duo said in shock.
 
“Well… I'm going back to bed.” Wufei stated, before walking away as if nothing unusual had happened.
 
A very annoyed Heero and Relena, struggling to pull their clothes on, threw something incredibly random at the door to make them close it. All the three left knew was that whatever they threw shattered. Trowa, being the sensible of the three, suspected it was probably a vase.
 
“Oh… dear.” Quatre said, staring at the wall as he leaned against the wall for support, visions of the previous scene in his head. “I saw Relena Peacecraft naked.”
 
“I'm not shocked. I'm not shocked. I'm not shocked. I'm not shocked.” Trowa repeated to himself. Trowa and Quatre looked over Duo, waiting for his response. Duo, however, was staring at the wall in total, complete horror. He was breathing heavily, his eyes were so wide Quatre feared they might fall from their sockets, and he was looking for something to grip for support. Mere leaning would not keep him up.
 
“I saw Heero Yuy…” he began, struggling to breathe. “I saw Heero…. without his clothes on….”
 
“Duo… it's okay.” Quatre said, putting an arm on his friends shoulder in comfort. Duo looked at it in horror before turning a pale green and running for the nearest bathroom while holding his mouth so none of his vomit escaped his mouth. Trowa and Quatre watched Duo run off in an awkward silence.
 
“Well…” Quatre said, beginning to recover.
 
“He was fairly… well endowed.” Trowa commented. Quatre and Trowa looked between each other and laughed.
 
Back at the home of the gundam pilots, Wufei curled back up into bed and fell asleep. It was Saturday. Sleep was a good thing.

Worth Dying For
 
 
“Sally…” Wufei murmured to himself. “Sally…”
 
The woman plagued his mind. Constantly. Always. He could hear her voice inside his head; he could feel her beside him. Her way of speaking, her quiet grace, the way she smiled.
 
“You're in love.” Trowa told him, shaking his head. Wufei looked up at his friend, who was standing in his doorway.
 
“I didn't realize I left the door open.” Wufei said, raising an eyebrow. Trowa smirked.
 
“You didn't.”
 
“This is you, practicing your little hobby once again, isn't it?” Wufei asked, leaning back down and staring at the ceiling. He had been doing that a lot lately. Trowa came in and sat down in Wufei's swivel chair, just in front of his desk.
 
“It's possible. Now… tell me about your mother.” Trowa demanded. Wufei glared at Trowa.
 
“How's Duo doing?” Wufei asked, throwing a small ball in the air and catching it.
 
“Not so good. He still can't keep anything down.” Trowa answered.
 
“What did the doctors say?”
 
“They think he's got a touch of the flu.” Trowa answered. Wufei laughed.
 
“Who would've thought it? Duo sees Heero naked, and contracts a horrible sickness… all in the same day.” Wufei looked over at Trowa. “No wonder he was so pale when he came into my room earlier.”
 
“Well, the doctor's have prescribed him some nonsense pill which'll help him be better in time for `Lena's and Heero's wedding.” Trowa said, sighing and leaning back. He made himself comfortable, spinning a few times. “You're avoiding my question, again. Are you going to make a habit out of it?”
 
“Will it make it impossible for you to practice your little hobby?” Wufei asked. Trowa looked pensive for a moment.
 
“Nope.” he answered. “I'll simple analyze your actions and draw my own sick, twisted little conclusions… spread them around… Maybe I should stop by Sally's later today? I haven't spoken to her in a wh-“
 
“OKAY!” Wufei shouted. “Fine, blackmail me into it.”
 
“What a marvelous idea.” Trowa mused aloud.
 
“So, whose idea was it exactly? That Heero had been kidnapped.” Wufei asked. Trowa thought about it.
 
“Come to think of it, it was Duo. Quatre might have had a hand in it.”
 
“Serves them right. They ought to make sure they have all the facts before making assumptions like that.” Wufei said. Trowa laughed.
 
“Like you weren't worried when Duo burst into your room.”
 
“I was, but I stopped to ask what made you guys think he was in trouble.” Wufei said.
 
“True.” Trowa agreed. “So, are you in love with Sally?”
 
Wufei sighed and let the ball fall without catching it.
 
“I'll take that as a yes.” Trowa said. Wufei looked toward his friend and nodded. “But?”
 
“I told you.”
 
Trowa sighed. Would Wufei never learn?
 
“You have to tell her.”
 
“I can't.”
 
“You have to.”
 
“Why?” Wufei asked.
 
“The past is the past.” Trowa told him. “There was nothing you could do to save Meiran, you know that.”
 
Wufei shook his head.
 
“There must have been something.” Wufei whispered.
 
“There wasn't, and you know it.” Trowa said. Wufei looked to his friend. “Wufei, the past is the past. It's now, here. Sally's now and she's in love with you.”
 
“She is, isn't she?”
 
Trowa nodded.
 
“And just think, before all this started…. you would barely speak of her.” Trowa said. Wufei laughed.
 
“I'm in love with her.” Wufei told him. Trowa smiled.
 
“Then tell her.”
 
“It's not that easy.” Wufei said.
 
“Sure it is.”
 
lllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllll lllllllll
 
 
“What do you think?” Sally asked Lucrezia. She scrutinized it for a moment.
 
“Maybe if you just…”
 
THUMP! THUMP! THUMP!
 
Sally and Lucrezia looked to the door as the thump of a knock continued. They frowned at each other in confusion. It was almost midnight. Who would be coming by this late?
 
Sally stood from her chair and walked over to the door.
 
“Who is it?” she yelled.
 
“IT'S WUFEI!”
 
“Wufei?” Lucrezia asked. Sally shook her head to say she didn't know.
 
“Is there something wro-” Sally began to ask as she opened the door, only to be cut off by Wufei, who had leaned in and was kissing her. Her eyes widened in shock for a moment, her hands moving to rest on his chest.
 
“Sally…” Wufei whispered to himself as he pulled away from her. He looked down at her and smiled. Her eyes were closed…
 
“Wufei?”
 
“Sally… I love you.”
 
“Sally?”
 
“Wufei... I love you too.”
 
“Sally?!”
 
“Sally…. Will you marry me?”
 
“SALLY!?”
 
Sally opened her mouth to answer, only to find herself being shaken so uncontrollably that she couldn't.
 
“SALLY!?”
 
“WHAT!?” Sally screamed, jumping up in her bed. She looked around and was saddened as she realized that the events that were happening… they were only a dream.
 
“Are you okay?” Lucrezia asked. Sally frowned. She fell back in her bed and put her pillow over her face to drown out her scream.
 
“I guess.”
 
“You were dreaming about Wufei, weren't you?” Lucrezia asked. Sally groaned.
 
“I hate my life.”
 
Lucrezia laughed.
 
“Well, you might want to wait until after you get up to hate it. Right now, you have a visitor.”
 
Lucrezia left and Sally got up and got dressed as pondered the meaning behind Lucrezia's cryptic message.
 
Sally walked out into the main living area of the hotel room she was sharing with Lucrezia. She stared in shock as Wufei stood there, flowers in hand, dressed in a suit, and looking nervous as hell.
 
“Wufei?”
 
“Sally.” he said, nodded his head as a greeting. He looked uncomfortably towards Lucrezia.
 
“Ya know, I hear they have coffee downstairs. I think I'll get some coffee.” she said, winking towards Sally as she left the room.
 
“What are you doing here?” Sally asked. Wufei chuckled nervously.
 
“I- uh… came to see how you were doing.”
 
“And the flowers?” Sally asked.
 
“Oh… well…”
 
“Yes?”
 
“You see…”
 
“Yes?” Sally prompted.
 
“ROOM SERVICE!” a woman screamed in a strange accent as she walked into the room.
 
“I have to go.” Wufei muttered. He put the flowers on a table and left. Sally glared at the woman and struggled to breathe for a moment, before she suddenly just let everything out.
 
“DAMMIT!”
