Ch. 11- Love versus Friends... Which One?

"Where is she?!" Soo Min almost angrily asked the frightened nurse.

The nurse managed to point a wavering finger to a door at the end of a hallway. The four girls ran to the room, leaving the nurse to sooth her wracked emotions.

Hana slams open the door and sees Viette sleeping in a bed while someone slept at the side of her bed while holding her hand... someone, with a familiar chestnut braid.

Duo flinched in his sleep as he heard the door open. He wearily opened his eyes and slipped his hand out of Viette's delicate one to yawn semi-loudly. He then noticed the other presences and stifled it.

"Uh... yo?" he said nervously with his bandaged hand on the back of his neck.

The girls glared at him and walked up to the bed dangerously. He then scooted away from the sleeping Viette and watched as the girls' expressions changed from anger to worry. Etroi noticed a thin line on Viette's wrist and looked at Duo with curiosity.

"What happened to your wrist and hers?" she asked.

Duo shrugged almost nonchalantly.

"She was going to die of blood loss so I had to give a blood transfusion... Not the best but it kept her going until I got her here."

"Blood loss? Did someone try killing her?" Katrina asked, as to not make them look suspicious.

Duo then looked at the girls seriously and said,

"She tried to kill herself."

The girls gasped in surprise. The only reason they would kill themselves was if they were caught by the enemy or if they failed their mission... What did Duo know?

As if her could read their thoughts, Duo continued.

"I caught her when she was running away from me. I know who you five are... the mysterious female Gundam pilots..."

Hana then pulled out her gun from the back of her knee-length skirt and aimed it accurately at Duo's forehead.

"Whoa... De ja vu!" Duo said with a smile.

"You shouldn't know, Pilot 02 of Deathscythe Hell Custom." Hana said seriously.

Duo grinned.

"I thought yah knew! It seemed like you five girls know pretty much everything!" he said with honestly.

Then, a yawn came from the unwatched bed and the four girls and Duo looked in that direction.

"W-what's goin' on?" asked the tired Viette.

The girl yelped with surprise as Hana, Etroi, Katrina, and Soo Min rushed to the bed and hugged her tightly. Duo watched with surprise. He thought that the girls were really similar to his friends but he realized that the girls had a tighter and more open bond of friendship.

"Ouch..." Viette said as the girls apologetically backed away.

She grinned and gave them a peace sign.

"It's all right! Lessee, what do yah haveta know... I failed my mission so I tried to kill myself, Duo saved me and knows who I am, I think we should just tell them, blah blah blah..." she said happily.

"What?!" said the girls.

"Tell them who we are?" said Etroi.

"Are we allowed to?" asked Katrina.

"No... it's our mission not to reveal any information to them... That's why we must kill Duo." she said as Duo paled dramatically.

She turned back to Duo and aimed her gun at him.

"We can't fail a mission..." she said monotonously.

"No! Don't do it!" said Viette as she struggled to get up from her bed.

"We are all fighting for the same thing! Why kill a comrade?" she said in a panicky tone.

"He's no comrade... We can make up for his death by fighting harder." said Hana.

"Then please... if not for him, do it for me..." she said with tears streaming down her pale cheeks. "I don't think I can live without him!"

The girls looked almost surprised at her and Katrina was the first one to speak up.

"Y-you love him?" she said with surprise and fear.

Viette nodded.

"Yes... I won't let you kill him but if you want, I will give up my place and stash away my Gundam somewhere so no one can find it... I'll do anything to stay with him." she said.

Hana's aim on Duo wavered and she asked him,

"And do you love her just as much?"

"Of course I do. Even though I haven't known her long, I know that I would kill myself if it meant that she would be safe." he grinned, "Besides, she's really hot and I can't lose her to other guys."

The girls groaned as he practically ruined the moment with his immature reply but Viette giggled.

"So what's going to happen?" asked Katrina.

Hana sighed as she put her gun back in the elastic of her skirt and under her shirt.

"Your secret will be safe with me!" said Duo.

"Then, we'll continue to do our missions. Just make sure you don't make the guys suspicious." said Hana.

"Well, now that's taken care of, I feel like ice cream!" Viette said with a grin.

The girls grin back at her and go to get her some real ice cream since the hospital food is gross, even for Viette's insatiable stomach.
