Heero was returning to the gundams from finishing the mission alone. He was starting to wonder what happened to Duo when he peered through the bushes to see Rogue standing in front of Shinigami holding the unconscious Duo. She whispered something to him in English and bent down and gently kissed him on the lips. Red hot anger surged through Heero. He convinced himself that the anger was due to her betraying their trust and hurting Duo. Somewhere deep down, he knew the truth. Heero charged at Rogue. "What the *hell* are you doing?!* "There's no time! I needed to know how to piolet Shinigami. Hurry, there are soldiers coming. Get in wing. Let's get out of here!" Heero grunted as he heard the footsteps and realized she was right. He would have to make her pay later. "Give Duo to me." "I can't. When this wears off, I'll crash Shinigami if he's not there." Heero grunted and jumped into Wing just as the soldiers came into view. "Looks like we're going to have to blast our way out of here." A huge "Duo" smile spread across Rogue's face, pissing Heero off even more if that's possible at this point. Heero blew away everything in his path, ruthlessly. Rogue handled Shinigami exactly like Duo would have. Duo woke up and realized he was defiantly in outer space when he began to float. He wondered... had Heero saved him? He glanced around and realized he was definitely in Shinigami. #Did Heero lose Wing?# He glanced down at his throbbing arm and leg to realize that they had been crudely bandaged to cut back on blood loss. "I see you're awake." "R... Rogue?" ******************* Duo: "Yeah! I finally got kissed. It took long enough!" Heero: "You were asleep, baka." Duo: *sticks out tongue* "I didn't see *you* getting kissed, spoil-sport." Heero gives plude a *death glare*. Plude: "You'll never get kissed if you keep looking at people like that." Heero: "......"
