Ohayo Minna!!!!! If you’re reading this from my site, “Crossing Destinies”, I just wanna say thanks!! I know it’s not word wrapped yet, but I’m working on that, for now though, you can just copy and paste it into your notepad on your computer, then go to edit and word-wrap, it makes it so that you don’t have to scroll to the right for eternity just to see what someone is saying. Anyway, if you’re reading this on ff.net, I’m impressed() You’ve managed to find a time when that dumb thing is working, there have been so many errors, that I suggest visiting your authors web-site’s when it isn’t working. ^_^ Maybe then they’ll update, ne? Enough babble! ON WITH THE FIC!!! PS- Typing with really long nails is HARD! ~~~~~~~ Disclaimer- I own nothing of importance, ok?!? ~~~~~~~ recap- Usagi walked with them to the lounge, “Oh it’s all right! I’m glad you came over! We’ll have to do this again sometime, ne?” Quatre smiled, “Of course Usagi-san. Maybe a bit earlier though()” Usagi and Duo laughed. Usagi told everyone about the time, and soon, they were all either asleep, or going somewhere so that they could be. ~~~~~~~ Voices of the Soul Chapter Six By: Usagi Asia Maxwell ~~~~~~~ Duo sighed and twirled around in his swivel chair upside down. Why did work have to be so BORING? Sure he had a snazzy uniform and a big office (even if he did have to share it with Wufei), but the preventers hadn’t had any fires to put out in months. He glanced at his watch; 9:45, he hadn’t even been there an hour yet, and he was already bored. He sighed again, righted himself in his chair, and went back to carving a miniature deathscythe into his mahogany desk. With every scratch of the key against the polished desk, Wufei’s eye twitched. How was he supposed to finish the paper-work covering his desk when every half second a load screech rang in his skull. And more importantly: Who was the idiot that put him in the same office as Maxwell? With a scowl he tried to finish the paper he was on. Scratch... scratch... scratch........ SCREEEEEEEECH!!!! *glare* Grrrrr...... Scratch.... scratch..... SCREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEECH! Duo jumped as Wufei slammed his pen onto his desk. “Maxwell,” he said through clenched teeth, “could you PLEASE refrain from tearing out my ear drums?” Duo blinked and grinned, “Oh! Sure Wu-man! No prob!” Wufei’s flinched at his “nick-name” but didn’t comment. ..... ..... ..... scratch.......... .............. ..... scratch... scratch scratch......... SCREECH “In the name of all that is holy and just I swear I WILL KILL YOU if you don’t stop that NOISE!!!!” Wufei’s head currently looked like a tomato with black mold. Duo’s bottom lip quivered, “But Fei-chan.... don’t you love me anymore? What about the children?” With a shriek that would have made a banshee proud, Wufei lunged at Duo with his shiny silver pen. His weapon of choice gleamed from the sun on it’s way towards Duo’s throat. The said man gave an indigent “AHH!” and dodged his inky doom. Duo some how managed to keep his desk between Wufei and himself. He grinned sheepishly, “Wufei, you’re never going to get your work done if you keep playing around like this. If you don’t hurry, you’re going to miss lunch!” “AAAAAGGGGH!!!!!!!!” Just as our favorite little Chinese bishie was jumping over the desk, the door opened. ~~~~~~~~~~ Usagi blinked as she opened an office door. “Uh....” was all she could murmur from her slack jawed mouth. “hmm....” What she saw had surprised her to say the least. Last night those two had seamed relatively normal, but.... Duo was hiding behind a very large, very comfortable looking swivel chair, practically shaking. And Wufei was either lunging towards him with an expensive looking pen, or doing something no man should ever do with a desk. Neither of them seemed to be able to move from the positions they were in when she opened the door. Her mouth opened and closed a few times as she tried to find something to say. After much gaping she finally came up with, “hmm....... uh...... hi.” Now in such a situation as Usagi found herself in, one could do one of two things. She could either laugh like a maniac, or act as if she hadn’t realized anything had happened. Usagi had been in enough of these situations, to know when not to laugh. Duo and Wufei quickly scrambled into more decent positions, coughing and or grinning to cover up their embarrassment. Usagi tilted her head and smiled innocently, all the while sporting a sweatdrop. “Eh, heh() Uh, Do you guys know where Zechs is? I was going to take him and Noin out to brunch...” Duo grinned, “He’s two doors down and to the left.” Wufei eyed her, “How’d you know we were in here anyway?” If possible, Usagi’s sweatdrop grew. She pointed upwards and outside of the office door, “heh() Door tags.” Wufei began to regain his previous red color. He fought it down with a scowl. Usagi looked at his desk and winced, “ooh, wow. Nice paperwork. You want me to bring you guys back something to eat?” Duo grinned, “Yeah! That would be great! You rock!” Wufei glared him down, “Don’t bother yourself onna. We can take care of ourselves.” Usagi blinked, ‘onna?’ “Yeah, uh. All right then. See you guys around...” She slowly inched her way out of the door. Once she was completely out, she practically skidded into Noin and Zechs office. She made a mental note, ‘Bichies? yes. Sane? no.’ Duo and Wufei’s office, she hadn’t bothered to knock on. She figured they’d just be filling out papers or something, besides, that Une chick told her she didn’t have to knock. But after her recent experience, and the fact that she didn’t want to interrupt Noin and Zechs doing something they shouldn’t be, Usagi knocked on their door before barging in. A very low voice answered, “Come in.” Zechs was standing next to his desk examining a manila folder. The moment after Usagi opened the door, she launched herself at him. She laughed and looked up from his chest, “Hiya Mil-chan!” He gave her a small smile and a light hug, “Hi Koneko. How are you?” She giggled, “You sound like Haruka. I’m fine.” He let go of her and looked back down at his folders, he raised his eyebrows. “So,” he began, “Relena told me you were staying with a few men.” He put down his folder and stared her down, “What are their names, ages, phone numbers, police records, social security numbers and occupations?” Usagi laughed, “Kami-sama! You ARE Haruka! Calm down, they’re old friends. You don’t need to go after them with an MS or anything. They’re almost perfectly harmless.” Zechs stared at her, “Almost?” She ignored him and looked around the room, “Oi! Where is she? I flew all the way out here to have brunch with her, and she isn’t even here? What a gyp! Now I’m stuck with you for an hour!” Usagi mock pouted. He sweatdropped, “She had to drop off some papers, she’ll be back in a minute.” She sighed and pulled herself up on his desk. He watched as she swung her legs up and down off of the desk’s edge. “You’re still a kid, Koneko.” She grinned, “I know. Jealous?” He smiled. “Only slightly.” The door opened again and Noin walked in. No... she didn’t walk in, it was more like she wobbled. She smiled, “Hello Usagi. How’ve you been?” Usagi’s eyes widened. “Oh my Gosh!”, she screamed. She ran up and hugged Noin. “How deep are you in?” Noin smiled and put a hand on her swolen abdomen, “About four months. I was going to call you, but when we heard you were coming anyway, I wanted to tell you in person.” Usagi smiled and grasped Noins hands excitedly. She blinked, and stared down at them. She gave a low, quiet growl and closed her eyes. She slowly turned around and walked over to Zechs. She picked up his folder, and whacked him upside the head with it. “Usagi, wha-” “Why don’t I see a ring on this wonderful woman’s hand, hmmm?” Usagi glared at him and rasied the folder in case she had to hit him again. Noin blushed. He held up his hands in defense, “I haven’t found one yet.” She eyed him warrily but put down the folder. “Whatever you say..... Anyway, I’m hungry. I feal like Chinese, what about you?” Usagi asked Noin. She looked thoughtfull for a moment, “Do they make spinich ice-cream?” “uhhh.....” ~~~~~~~~~~ Done! lol, I know it’s short (and rather besides the point()), but better this than nothing, ne? Besides, if I went on it would be huge, and you guys wouldn’t want THAT ne? you would? hm... well, tell ya what! Go to my site, and I’ll post the next chapter there before I post it on ff.net, ok?
