Peace Children Chapter 17

Wufei groaned as he heard wood splinter. It was so embarrassing for him for his wife to come here like this. He stumbled out of the gun room, past Heero holding a cat, to the now-broken front door.

"Yes, Meiran?" he asked. His wife was in half-dragon form; her eyes reptilian and blazing, her skin covered in bluish scales, but otherwise humanoid.

"I was worried when I woke up and you weren't home." Meiran said, explaining why she had tracked him down, "so I followed your signature here. What's going on?"

Wufei explained what was going on as he pulled her into the house, out of the way of the neighbors' prying eyes. As he retold her the events of the night, her anger left and she shifted back into full human form.

"You-you're *married*?" Duo sputtered after the information sunk into his brain. "When? How? Why?"

"Yes, Maxwell," Wufei answered. "Meiran and I have been married for thirty- one years, by a high priest. We wed because we were promised to each other at birth. We are mates."

"Are you coming with us?" Heero directed the question to Meiran, stroking Bast's fur.

"Miss a chance to take down the sons-of-bitches who killed most of my family, Wufei's family, and our clan? Hell, no. I'm coming with," Meiran answered vehemently.

"We need transportation," Trowa spoke up. "We need *one* vehicle, and we need it fast.

Odin, who could hot-wire cars, nodded and walked out of the house to steal a van.

When he was gone, Heero turned to the others. "Do you know how to use your guns?" he asked Quatre, Hilde, Trowa, and Duo. When they all shook their heads 'no', he told them he could give them the knowledge. "Do you want me to?" he asked them. Three heads nodded.

Quatre said, "As long as it doesn't involve you or anyone else besides me kissing my koi."

Heero took this as a 'yes' and went to teach Quatre first. He put one hand on Quatre's forehead, and the other on the hand Quatre was holding the gun with. Heero concentrated on sending the blond the information on how to shoot the gun, and the skill to do so well. The knowledge and skill were his own, taught to him by Odin and years of practice.

Heero finished with Quatre and moved on to Trowa. Heero was not as familiar with Trowa's weapon, which was a sawed-off shotgun whereas Quatre's had been a standard police pistol, but Heero sent everything he knew about it to the prophet.

Next was Hilde. Hers was easy because she had the exact same kind of gun as Quatre. While he was in her head, he inadvertently stumbled upon her feelings for Kali. She really loved his sister, which made Heero feel really bad for her. He had felt when Kali was with Catherine, though he didn't show it.

Heero let her go and went to Duo. Duo had a police gun, too. It was the make and model they had the most of, as it was the kind the Collectors carried and they were where the Yuy's got most of their weaponry. Heero gave Duo what he need to know. He could feel Duo's love for him while in his head.

He retracted from Duo's mind and whispered, 'I love you,' directly into his mind. He stood on his tiptoes to give his six foot tall mate a kiss as a van screeched onto the driveway.

Odin got out of the vehicle and rushed into the house. "I'm sorry, but it was the biggest I could find," he apologized, sheepishly. "It only seats seven. Either someone stays behind or sits in someone's lap."

"Heero'll sit in mine," Duo volunteered before any of the others did. He looked at Heero for confirmation, and his beloved nodded his consent.

That settled, the eight people and one cat walked to the van. Odin got in the driver's seat and Hilde got in the passenger's. Duo, Quatre, and Trowa climbed into the back seat, and Wufei and Meiran got in the middle. Heero put Bast on the floor of the van before telling the others that he had to do something.

He went to the back of the minivan, touching the license plate and changing the numbers. He then changed the color of the van from red to silver.

Heero walked back to the side door and climbed in. He went to the back of the vehicle and squeezed past Quatre and Trowa over to Duo. He sat down on his lover's lap, his arms going around Duo's neck as Duo's own held his waist.

"The police will be looking for a red van with a "GR8 1" license plate, not a silver van with a regular number plate," he explained his actions.

Heero rested his head on Duo's shoulder as the older boy pulled him closer.

"Damn!" J said, slamming down the phone. "We lost Unit 5. The Peace Brat got them with an explosive double... Alex! Send Units 2 and 3 after the boy, and Units 1 and 4 after the girl. We will get them before midnight tonight."

Collector Alex jumped at his superior's command and went to inform the Units of their mission.

J pace the laboratory floor. He cursed before stalking to the Collecting room. He would have to make a deal with a couple to he Items within.

J called for four big brutish Collectors to assist him, then released two Trackers from their stasis.

"If you help me," J told the two Mystical bounty hunters after they fully awoke, "I will spare you and your families when the others are killed.
