"Ow," Duo said faintly, voice muffled by the weight of the four people who lay on top of him. He was smushed into cement, which surprised him, as he had just been sitting on a sofa, and he was outside, which also surprised him because afore mentioned sofa had been indoors.
"K'so!" Wufei roared, struggling to get out of the pile of limbs. "What was that?"
"Ano, Trowa, could you get off me please?" Quatre asked sweetly. "Your gun is digging into my side."
"..."
Duo thought he could hear the Winner heir gulp and blush.
"That...is your gun, isn't it, Trowa?"
"K'so!" Wufei reemphasized. He somehow managed to maneuver a foot under the golden-haired pilot's behind and shoved both Quatre and Trowa off him, scrambling up shortly after.
"Why do I always have to be on the bottom?" Duo lamented, as Heero helped him onto his feet.
"Hn," Wing's pilot articulated with a little smirk.
"More importantly, where are we?" the Chinese pilot demanded.
"And who was that crazy girl with the kasa?"
With an auditable *pop!* the kasa appeared and dumped said girl with a red symbol on her forehead out onto the pavement. She was grinning like a maniac, which made the Gundam boys rather nervous--especially Trowa, because she squealed when she saw him and latched tightly onto his arm.
"Sorry about that," she said to them. "I didn't mean to bring all of you. It just sort of happened."
Wufei's eyes narrowed suspiciously as he folded his arms, dropped his chin and assumed the AAMS(1). "What just 'sort of happened?'"
"Ano..."
"Hey, Ann Marie!"
The girl tilted her head and looked over her shoulder. "Hey, Sa-chan!"
Duo glanced at Heero as the latter went still abruptly, eyes focusing on something over Trowa's shoulder. He followed that cold gaze, wondering whom besides himself had warranted the use of the Heero Yuy Death GlareTM. He spotted Zechs and nearly groaned aloud. The OZ lieutenant had stopped his approach as soon as he had seen Wing's pilot, and the girl next to him gazed up curiously. Then she saw Heero and sighed audibly.
"Heero Yuy!!" Zechs proclaimed. "I challenge you to a fight, to see who is the most righteous and true to his cause!!!"
"I accept!!" Heero shouted back.
"HEEEEEEEROOOOOO!!!" an unsurprisingly familiar voice wailed, making everyone, even the stoic Trowa who was trying to pry Ann Marie off his arm, flinch.
"How does she find us?" Duo muttered.
"NOOOOOOOO!!!! YOU MUSN'T DOOOOO THIS, HEEEERRRROOOOO!"
Without taking his eyes off Zechs, Heero lifted a gun he pulled from somewhere and shot Relena in the head. She went down in a bloody heap.
All rejoiced.
Then Heero and Zechs took off for open ground.
Sa-chan and Duo met eyes across the walkway, understanding flashing between them instantly. Nodding solemnly, both voiced their sentiments in unison.
"Crap."
And they took off after the quarrelsome pair.
Hotohori was lost.
This was a new sensation for him.
Usually, he had attendants or at least the other seishi to rely on for directions, and a kingdom that he was fairly familiar with in which to wander. This time, neither of those factors held true. Frowning royally, he was walking aimlessly in a seemingly abandoned building when he heard the sounds of a battle. Following his ears, he found himself at the top of a flight of stairs. Below him, two redheads, one male, the other female, fought each other with swords.
