Baby Mine: Chapter 5 (rated PG)
Posted: Wed Oct 14, 2009 11:11 pm
[A.N.] Here is the next chapter of my story. So sorry that it has taken this long. I have had A LOT going on. I hope you enjoy it!
(P.S) By the way, all of my chapters will be P.G. 13 or below. I will wright warning about any additives before the chapter.
DISCLAIMER!!!!: I do not own Gundam Wing! If I did, it would have had a more satisfactory ending AND been more clear on a few other confusing subjects. That being said, don't sue me,'cause I got nothin' worth taking!
***************
Duo walked through the door of his small house, exhausted and disheartened. The day had been one of the worst he can ever remember. Relena was gone. Someone had come in right under their noses, assaulted the supposedly unbreachable Dorlan mansion, and made off with the princess leaving not so much of a trace of who they were. He shook his head, trying to rid himself of the images of the surreal occurence.
They had been in the middle of their conference, deep in a heated debate concerning how an attack like the one earlier that day could come from inside the ESUN headquarters without. These people were either very lucky, or very skilled. This group seemed to know too much about everything regaurding Relena, and that scared them all.Zechs was ranting as usual about the irresponsiblity and incompetance of the preventer force as a whole while Conroy countered his verbal assaults with some powerful words of his own. If not for the intervention of Cammander Une via vidphone it may have resulted in a knock-down, drag-out brawl. Duo had been standing by the door with Trowa, their arms folded accross their chests as they leaned casually against the wall. Normally he'd make some sort of joke to lighten mood, and coincidently, frustrate the hell out of Zechs.
Today, however, was no laughing matter. The attack had been so serious that they nealr escaped with their lives this time. The very fact that anyone could carry out such and assault on one of the most high security buildings so easilly from the interior was, to say the least, embarrassing for the preventers. The attack had left five people dead, six in intesive care and two in critical condition. Relena hardly said a word since the attack, most likely blaming herself for the deaths of the innocents; typical reaction for her really. That, perhaps, is why it was so difficult to believe that she could disappear on the exact same day right under their noses.
When the explosion occurred, the shockwave shook the entire house, throwing them off balance where they stood. All of them too shocked to speak, and too worried about what had happened to just stand there. Without much more thought, they dove out the door and down the hall, running as fast they could to where they new the blast had inevitably come from. The air was dry and thick with the white dust of paster and morter, and every moevemtn them made only stirred it up worse. A massive wall of rubble and debris blocked their way. Panic had gripped him so tightly that he and Zechs had all but thrown themselves at the pile, trying their best to dislodge what they could.
"Relena!! Relena!! Amythyst!!!" Their desperate yells echoed in his mind as he remebered how desperately they fought to get through the towering obstacle. It had taken them two hours to clear away the rubble, two hours too long. By the time they had reached the room, they found it to be empty. The search lasted only a few minuted resulting in a few footprints in the dust and a few small traces of blood on the floor. Terror gripped his heart. Her glanced frantically around the room, his eyes scanning every nook and cranny, his legs would not move beneath him. Suddenly, two boddies were discovered, injured not far from the blood. The men were, luckilly, just unconscious and therefore could be questioned later.
Zechs ran past him to a spot on the wall, all but ripping a portrait onto the floor. Before their eyes, Zechs oppened a small compartment in the wall, his posture rigid with what could only be panic. The door swung wide open and all held their breaths. A secret hideaway in the wall, empty. Zechs shoulders fell, slumping in his grief. His was sister gone; his neice missing. In all the time he'd known Zechs, Duo had never seen any sign of weaknes. The expression in the older man's eyes chilled duo to the bone. The sheer look of helplessness was so unlike him, so out of place for this former commander. Suddenly, they had heard a noise behind them. Turning towards the balcony, they saw a shadowed figure standing alone, holding someone in his arms.
"Stop right there. Identify yourself!" All guns drawn, they waited for any reaction from the shadowed figure. The figure stood still for a moment before slowly walking into the light. There in his arms was Amythyst, snuggling close to his chest. All in the room stood stunned, as the figure revealed himself. Heero Yuy stood covered in dust, clutching the child to him protectively, his eyes completely unreadable. Duo and about every other person in the room let out a huge sigh of relief.
"Heero...How...? When..? Why..?" but further words wouldn't come out of his mouth. Sudenly Heero said some of the most haunting words duo had ever heard.
"I failed...she's gone...and I failed..." Walking slowly forward, Leautenant Dartman made to take the child from Heero's arms but he pressed past her, stopping infront of Zechs. With careful hands, he placed the child into her uncle's arms and looked down, as if waiting for some form of judgement. Everyone stared, waiting for Zechs to respond. The two soldiers had never gotten along, but had on some level seemed to have found some sort of understanding. Zechs looked down at the slumbering child in his arms, then at Heero, his eyes shone with feirce determination.
"Yuy..I need your help to recover my sister."
The silence following his words seemed to last an eternity before Heero finally raised his head, his eyes mirroring the same fire held in that of his former nemsis.
"Mission Accepted." And with those final words, Duo had watched as Heero tentatively followed Zechs out of the room.
He couldn't help but try anf think how ironic it is that Heero had appeared when he did. He wondered if Heero had any clue just how precious the little bindle in his arms had been when he saved her from the assailants. Walking down the hall, he entered the room where his two children lay peacefully slumbering on their beds, counting his blessings all the while. Little Diety had fallen alseep at the opposite end of the bed, her blankets bundles all around her in a regual mess, while her younger brother had completely kicked his off, his thumb securely tucked in his mouth. Duo gently rectifed the situations, tucking them in once more, then he leaned down and placed a soft kiss on each of their foreheads, thanking whatever higher power ruled above for the little treasures infront of him. Smiling to himself, he walked down the hall and sleepilly climbed into bed next to his loving wife. She stirred slightly and he placed a soft kiss on her forehead. He had hoped he would never have to fight again. He had hoped to continue on as he had, protecting and serving the peace they so loved. Clsoing his eyes in resignation, he pulled Hilde close embracing the only peace he'd truly ever known, hoping that one day, His dear friend would fins that same peace.
