He jumped from his army jeep and crept through the woods. His target was an older OZ base, and his mission was to get any valuable information that its supercomputer might hold. He reached the base and scaled the wall to the supercomputers� room easily. He was working fast and had downloaded everything onto a disk when he heard a sharp crack and a curse. He then heard furious typing as he slipped soundlessly towards the noise. He spotted the producer of the noise and stood rapt at the sight. A girl, only fifteen, sat at a computer downloading information so quickly it astounded him. What held him to the apparition of beauty was her beautiful hair, the color of sunlight glancing off pure gold. He shook his head of the awe and raised his gun. He turned off the safety and stepped toward the girl. �Who are you?� He stated in his usual monotone. He watched as the vision of loveliness slowly stood. He caught his breath as she turned and faced him. ::Her eyes�:: he was struck dumb by her intense gaze. ::Her eyes are so blue�:: He stared into their ice blue depths, intrigued by the silver streaks. A lock of her beautiful hair fell teasingly over one eye, hiding it from his gaze. Remembering his first inquiry, he restated it. �I asked your name.�
�My name?� the girl spat sarcastically. Heero just stood watching her lips.
::So beautiful�so crimson�::
�Well, I think that�s very rude, you know. Pointing a gun doesn�t mean you don�t have to introduce yourself first.� She smirked
Heero stood hypnotized by her whole body, and those red, full lips. He grunted in response. ::She has such attitude�:: He watched as her clothing stretched in protest to conceal her curves as she shifted her position. Her smile broadened, revealing perfect teeth.
�Well, aren�t we stubborn?� she spoke. �I suppose I can tell you. One question first.� Just then she was interrupted by a bang on the door.
�OPEN UP INTRUDERS! WE HAVE YOU SURROUNDED!!�
Heero lowered the gun an inch and eyed the door, angry at whoever was on the other side for interrupting his progress. The girl took this opportunity to grab her laptop and jump out of range. ::Damn!:: The soldiers then overrode the lock and barged in, guns blazing. He dodged with the girl, taking cover behind the supercomputer that the girl had just stolen information from. Heero cocked his gun and started shooting.
�Well� the girl chuckled, �that answers my question.� Heero felt cold steel slide onto his thigh, and he watched in horror as the girl leapt straight into the fray. Heero covered her as she grabbed guns off several dead soldiers. He jumped up and ran towards her. She stood firm, shooting back at the OZ soldiers. Heero brushed shoulders with her, and they pushed forward through the OZ-ies� barrage. Running past the remaining few soldiers, they turned east down a dark corridor. ::Hmm�:: Heero remembered the map he had checked before the mission and dictated the directions for the quickest escape.
�NO!� she yelled over the machine gun noise, �THAT�S THE AC 185 MAP! WE HAVE TO GO RIGHT!� at this comment she pulled him down a brightly lit hallway. They ran, dodging bullets. The came to a utility closet and she revealed a secret room. Shattering a window, she smiled. �See, back exit.� She stepped up to jump and he heard her say something tinged with fear. �I-it�s little farther than I thought��
He shook his head. ::Not afraid of death, or hundred OZ soldiers with machine guns, but afraid of a tiny drop.::
�ESCAPE IS IMPOSSIBLE!!�
Heero ran to the cringing girl, dodging the shrapnel from a desk being ruthlessly shot by OZ-ies with bad aim. Wrapping his arms around her, he launched himself out the window. Exhilarating in the thrill of holding the extremely sexy girl and the equally thrilling experience of falling, he was loath to let her go. He rolled to break his fall, and jumped up to see that the girl was okay. Seeing that they were both alright, they ran into the evergreen forest. After awhile, they stopped and Heero felt himself being focused on by intense ice blue eyes. He grunted in question.
�Huh? Oh, they did a few renovations on the base, your way had been cemented up about three months ago. It was in the data�� she smirked, patting her scratched laptop.
�You still haven�t answered me.� He demanded. He had to know the name of this beautiful creature.
�Really.� She flipped her hair nonchalantly. �I think I at least deserve your name, o shining knight.�
Heero snorted. �Heero Yuy.� He stated, hoping to goad her into giving her name.
�YOU CANNOT HIDE FROM OZ!�
Heero tilted his head. ::They�re still at least twenty meters away�:: He turned towards the sound.
�Well, I don�t like to leave a mystery, so; my name�s Eiko Mizuno. See you later Heero!!� she waved and sprinted off. He turned and ran in the opposite direction towards his jeep. He jumped in and sped away, moonlight glinting off his hood.
