‘thoughts’

Ryo stared quietly out the window at Nasuti’s place as they both rested and waited to hear how their friends were.  They all sat around: Heero, Duo, Trowa, Wufei, Shu, and Shin, waiting and worrying.  Seiji and Quatre were both in their beds, resting from their battle.  But, Genaisa was the one they all worried about.  Ryo blinked back tears again as he remembered how she looked and the terrible wound that had caused it.  ‘We should have gotten there sooner!’ he thought to himself in despair.  ‘Then Genaisa, Seiji, and Quatre would never have been hurt.’  He shook his head in despair and then looked up as a door shut and Nasuti came out.  Everyone looked at her expectantly, the question obvious.

She looked at them with worry and sadness.  “She…will be alright,” she finally said.  Sighs of relief came from Ryo, Duo, Shu, and Shin.  Wufei smiled slightly and squeezed Shu’s hand reassuringly.  She smiled slightly, but then frowned. “But, it will be a while before she will even wake up.  She lost a lot of blood and her injuries were serious enough that her healing abilities will take longer than usual,” she added quietly.  Ryo, Shin, and Shu frowned as well, but the pilots looked at her with curiosity.

“Healing abilities?” Duo asked and Nasuti looked at him with a small smile of understanding.

“Genaisa can heal people, but not herself.  But, her body has a faster healing system than normal people to make up for it,” Ryo explained as he looked at them, focusing last on Heero.  Heero frowned slightly at another revealed secret and looked over at Nasuti as the others nodded. Ryo sighed sadly, knowing that the secrets would soon all be out, but it didn’t make it any easier.

The other pilots also had about the same reactions, but accepted it.  Shu looked apologetically at Wufei, who smiled at him.  Trowa looked up at Ryo and asked, “What about what she did yesterday?”

Ryo sighed, but it was Shin who answered. “Teleportation. She doesn’t do it often because, like healing, it drains her faster then the other abilities,” he replied amiably and the pilots nodded in comprehension.

“So that’s why she was so dizzy afterwards!” Duo cried with concern.

“And maybe that’s why she made a mistake and got hurt,” Heero added smoothly, not coldly.  Ryo’s eyes closed in pain at the reminder and he sighed.  He turned and walked out of the room and outside.  The others’ eyes followed him out in surprise, but Trowa stopped Duo from following.  Duo looked at him in confusion, but Trowa shook his head in warning.  Duo sighed sadly and nodded. 

Trowa then looked up at Nasuti and dug in his pocket. Pulling out the crystal he had found next to Quatre yesterday, he looked at it then showed it to Nasuti, saying, “I found this next to Quatre.  I thought you might be able to tell us what it is.”

Nasuti looked at him in surprise then grabbed the crystal gently from his extended hand.  Shu and Shin got up and crowded around her, looking as well.  She turned the crystal around in her hand, noting how much it looked like the Troopers’ crystals.  She turned it and then looked closer at it.  “This is just like the Troopers’ crystals.  But the symbol inside is one that isn’t from them,” she stated as she looked at it.

Shin took it and looked at it as well.  “Kaichou….Harmony.  That’s what the symbol is. And none of us have that,” he commented in confusion as he handed it back to Nasuti.  She took it back and frowned slightly.

“Well, it can’t be one of theirs…can it? They don’t have yoroi like us,” Shu asked incredulously as he too looked at it.

“We don’t know what happened there.  And we won’t know until one of them wakes up,” Trowa murmured softly as he watched them.  Duo nodded and then looked around.

“Hey, where’s Heero?” he asked and they all looked around as well.  None had seen him leave the same way as Ryo while they had talked.  Shu sighed and Wufei got up.

“Shu, why don’t we go and check up on the Gundams?” he suggested as he smiled and held out his hand to Shu.  Shu smiled and took his hand and then left the room hand in hand. 

Shin watched them and smirked, then looked at Nasuti. “Nasuti, why don’t we start up dinner, and I can also make that special broth for Genaisa,” he recommended and she nodded.  Duo and Trowa got up as well and followed them into the kitchen.

Ryo stood at the edge of the lake, staring blankly at the water as tears flowed down his face.  He felt an overwhelming guilt inside.  He knew Seiji and Genaisa would yell at him for feeling this way, but he couldn’t help it.  If only they had gotten there sooner, then Genaisa, Seiji, and Quatre wouldn’t have done what they did.  So lost in his thoughts was he that he didn’t hear Heero come up behind him.  He jumped as a hand placed itself gently onto his shoulder.  Whipping his head around in surprise, blue eyes met with cobalt blue eyes as he saw that it was Heero.  He smiled slightly and then wiped his face, embarrassed to be caught crying. 

Heero watched him silently for a minute, then asked softly, “You going to be alright?”

Ryo nodded sadly as he locked his gaze with Heero’s concerned one. “I just wish we could have helped them more.  Genaisa and Seiji…and even Quatre I will venture have faced death many times for humanity and me.  I just wish…” he stated with frustration as he hung his head, ashamed.

Heero squeezed Ryo’s shoulder comfortingly. “They are strong.  They will pull through this and we shall defeat this enemy,” he declared confidently and Ryo looked up and smiled at him gratefully.  Nodding in agreement, he turned and resumed his silent watch of the lake.  Heero joined him, never removing his hand from Ryo’s shoulder.

Wufei and Shu walked through the woods, heading for the clearing that held the remaining four Gundams.  No one knew where Quatre’s Gundam Sandrock had disappeared to and had not found any wreckage to point to its destruction.  Their fingers laced together, they walked peacefully to the clearing, not saying anything to the other.  They went over to the Gundams and Wufei began checking the diagnostics on the Gundams as Shu leaned against a boulder, watching him.

Once satisfied that everything was going well on them, Wufei came over to Shu, smiling softly as he leaned into him.  He wrapped his arms loosely around Shu’s waist and looked into his eyes.  Shu did the same, pulling Wufei closer as he smiled.  Wufei brushed his lips lightly against Shu’s and then murmured softly, “Shu, don’t worry about Genaisa and Seiji.  Or Quatre.  They will be fine.  They are Troopers and know how to survive.”

Shu looked down, his jaw clenching as he tried not to let the anger or sorrow out. “They always were sacrificing themselves.  I swear Genaisa shouldn’t have survived most of the stuff she did. It…hurts so much to feel so helpless.  To not know how to help her or Seiji or Quatre.  Usually, we’d at least know what was happening!” he replied as he angrily pounded his fist into the boulder behind him. 

Wufei grabbed his hand, stopping him from hurting himself and then lifted his other hand up and brought Shu’s eyes level with his. He looked tenderly into Shu’s blue eyes and responded softly, “In battle, there are many unknowns.  And sometimes, there are sacrifices.” Shu’s eyes narrowed and he growled, but Wufei hushed him with a stern look. “But, we all know this…and it would seem to me that you six know it better than we do. No matter what happens, we must all work together and not give up.  In order to protect humankind…and each other,” he said softly and Shu’s eyes softened as he brought him closer and hugged him.  Wufei snuggled into Shu’s arms and then brought his face up and kissed him.  Shu kissed him back, starting out softly and tenderly, but as the kiss held, it became more passionate.  They opened their mouths to each other and their tongues danced an erotic dance as their bodies melded together and their passions rose. 

Wufei broke the kiss and began to kiss down Shu’s neck, nibbling lightly as he went, and unbuttoned Shu’s shirt, kissing at the exposed skin as he went down.  Shu moaned lightly, his head falling back in bliss as he leaned against the boulder to support himself as Wufei went down.  Wufei flicked his tongue out, teasing one of Shu’s nipples and then sucked on it, tonguing it as he ran his hands down and unbuttoned Shu’s pants.  Slipping the zipper down as he moved his mouth to the other erect nub, he brought Shu’s already dripping arousal out.  Kneeling down, he licked at the liquid gathered at the tip and then licked down, circling around the top with his tongue. 

Shu’s mind was slowly being overwhelmed with sensations as Wufei pleasured him.  He looked down and watched with glazed eyes as Wufei opened his mouth and took him in fully, relaxing his jaw to bring him in all the way.  Shu moaned and his hips thrust upwards, further into that wonderfully moist cavern.  Wufei began to lick and tongue him as he slowly slid his mouth up, caressing him.  He put his hands on Shu’s hips to keep him from thrusting as he slowly began to set a rhythm, bobbing his head up and down while tonguing him.  Shu’s head fell back and he began to moan constantly now, running his hands down to tangle into Wufei’s hair as he came closer to that edge of bliss.  Suddenly, he tightened and then came with a cry, shooting his passion into Wufei’s waiting mouth.  Wufei swallowed everything that Shu gave and then licked him clean. 

Shu panted in the after affects of release as Wufei tucked him gently back in and then stood up.  Shu hugged him roughly to his body and kissed him heatedly, enjoying the taste of himself inside of Wufei’s mouth.  Wufei moaned softly into Shu’s mouth and then pulled back, smiling at the other man.  Shu smiled back, but then his smile faded quickly as he tensed.  Wufei frowned and then felt a strong sense of danger approaching and looked up with Shu to see the dark clouds of the Shadows approaching. 

Shu pushed him towards his Gundam as he got into a fighting stance. “Get to your Gundam!” he shouted at Wufei as he got ready, anger flooding through him as the shadows appeared, hissing and cackling as they came towards the two Troopers.

Seiji woke up slowly, tired and somewhat confused as he looked around, trying to figure out where he was.  He realized that he was at Nasuti’s and then his eyes widened as he remembered the events of yesterday.  Getting up quickly, and then steadying himself as his head spun briefly from dizziness, Seiji walked silently out of his room. He went down the stairs and stopped at the kitchen, where he heard voices.  Staying out of sight, he listened to the conversation.

“How long do you think it will take Genaisa, Seiji, and Quatre to get back on their feet?” a voice he identified as Duo’s asked as the sounds of stirring and scraping were also heard.

“Seiji and Quatre may not take as long.  But with Genaisa…” Nasuti’s soft voice was heard answering. He peeked around the corner to see her shake her head sadly.  He looked down and left before he heard the rest of her answer, knowing enough to know that Genaisa was in bad shape.  He walked back towards the rooms and stopped at the door of Genaisa’s room.  Peeking in once again, he saw Touma sitting next to a pale Genaisa’s bed.  His heart leapt to his throat as he saw her move restlessly in the throes of fever as Touma held her hand and wiped her face.  Touma kissed the hand he was holding as a single tear made its way down his face.  Seiji closed his eyes in sorrow and left the doorway and then went upstairs.  As he headed for his room, he passed by a closed room and stopped. 

He slowly opened it and looked inside.  On the bed, he saw Quatre sleeping peacefully, his hand under his face, cradling it as he slept.  Seiji walked in quietly, looking at the angelic face with sorrow.  He sat down on the edge, careful not to wake the young blond up as he slept.  Seiji reached forward and took Quatre’s hand into his own, caressing it as he looked at his face.  Softly, he said,  “Quatre, I’m so sorry this happened.  This should never have happened to any of you.” He bent his head and two tears slipped out of his closed eyes as he held Quatre’s hand.

Quatre felt his hand being held and he slowly opened his eyes.  He heard Seiji’s words and then squeezed the hand that held his.  Seiji’s head came up quickly and looked into the aquamarine eyes that were looking at him.  He smiled in relief and Quatre smiled back.  Quatre sat up slowly as he looked at Seiji and then replied, “What Genaisa said was true.  Fate has a way of…bringing people together for a reason.  How is she?” he asked as he settled back.  Seiji’s smiled faded as sorrow crossed his face.  He bowed his head and Quatre’s heart sank in sorrow.  Slowly, he moved forward and hugged the other blond. 

Seiji wrapped his arms around Quatre’s waist as he began to cry softly.  Quatre soothingly rubbed his back, holding him as he let his sorrow out.  Slowly, Seiji’s tears slowed, stopped, and he leaned back and looked into the glistening aquamarine eyes that met his own lavender ones.  Slowly, Quatre moved his face forward and pressed his lips in a gentle kiss to Seiji’s.  Seiji pressed back just as gently, feeling his sorrow replaced with happiness as he held Quatre.  Quatre opened his mouth and gently caressed Seiji’s mouth, asking for entrance.  Seiji hesitated for a second before opening his mouth to the tongue and meeting it with his own.  They kissed until the need for air made them break apart, panting slightly. 

They looked at each other shyly and then smiled at each other.  Suddenly, they both stiffened as they felt an overwhelming sense of danger nearby.

“Shu,” Seiji whispered.

“Wufei,” Quatre whispered as well and they locked gazes and nodded firmly at each other before getting up and going out of the room, heading for downstairs.

Duo sat in the kitchen, watching Nasuti and Trowa as they cooked up a light meal.  Even though they all weren’t here, the general feeling of uneasiness suppressed any feelings of hunger easily.  He sighed and then watched Shin with interest.  Shin was boiling some water and putting in some herbs slowly, stirring as he did this.  Nasuti came over to check on him and nodded, smiling as she squeezed his shoulder reassuringly.  “Hey, whatcha doing, Shin?” he finally asked, his curiosity overwhelming his quiet study.

Shin smiled at him and then shut the stove off.  He brought the pot over to a spot to cool and continued stirring as he answered.  “This broth is made from some healing herbs.  I’m making it for Genaisa, to help her,” he explained softly and somewhat sadly as he then poured it into an earthen bowl. 

Duo smiled and nodded then suggested, “Well, why don’t I take it to Touma?  You can help Nasuti and Trowa with the cooking.”  Shin looked up at him gratefully.  He didn’t want to admit it, but he didn’t want to see his beautiful friend as she was right then.  He knew he’d lose it if he did.  He handed the bowl carefully over to Duo, who took it gently, then smiled cockily at Shin as he walked slowly out, not spilling a drop.

Duo went to the room she was in and knocked on the door before going in.  Touma looked up from where he sat holding her hand and smiled at him as he entered carefully with the broth.  Duo brought it over and set it on the nightstand next to her bed, then looked at Genaisa’s pale face.  Frowning, he grabbed the rag, wet it, and then gently wiped her face free of sweat as she twitched restlessly in fever.  Touma smiled at him and then grabbed the bowl.  He then slid his arm under her shoulders and lifted her slightly, then brought the liquid to her lips.  She opened her mouth on reflex and swallowed some of it, coughing at the bitter taste and moaning.  She turned her head away, restless and Touma sighed as he placed her down again and put the bowl down.

Duo sat down next to him.  “Not good, huh?” he asked as he watched her toss feverishly.  ‘Something isn’t right,’ he thought to himself as he watched her toss even more, her eyes moving quickly under her lids.

Touma also watched her with growing concern as he answered, “Well, the broth isn’t the tastiest thing in the world, but it helps enormously.”  Just as he finished saying this, they both moved in alarm as she gasped and her back arched off the bed.

“Wufei! Shu! NO!” she cried out as she became tense and moved as if trying to run to them.  Touma grabbed her body and held her down, trying to get her to not hurt herself worse.

Duo moved to help him, but Touma looked at him with an urgent look. “I have her….go help Shu and Wufei.  They need help!” he ordered quickly and Duo nodded grimly and ran out of the room to grab the others.

Duo rushed into the kitchen and cried, “Hurry!  Shu and Wufei are in trouble!”

Shin, Trowa, and Nasuti looked at him in surprise.  “How do you know this, Duo?” Nasuti asked as they went over by him.

“Because Genaisa felt their danger,” Quatre’s voice floated to them from behind Duo.  Looking over in surprise, they saw Seiji and Quatre standing in the doorway, watching them, tense.

“There’s no time for questions.  We have to help them,” Seiji stated and the other Troopers nodded.

“Then we better get going,” Ryo suggested as he and Heero entered the room.  Everyone nodded and then headed out swiftly.  But, just before leaving, Quatre snatched the crystal that had been sitting on the counter.

*~~**~~*

Shu panted as he fought the shadows.  Finally finding an opening, he transformed into his yoroi. “Now, let’s get down to business,” he growled as he began slashing at the shadows, who hissed in challenge.

Wufei tried to fight his way over to Shu, but he was having problems dealing with the shadows as well.  He saw Shu transform into his yoroi and got even more worried as more shadows surrounded the hotheaded Hardrock warrior.  Shu twirled his naginata* swiftly and did his attack. “Gen...TESSAI!!”  Then, slamming his naginata down, he destroyed the shadows around him in a flash of stone and light.  But, as they both watched, he was surrounded swiftly.  It was a losing battle as he slashed and slammed them away, for they kept coming.  As Wufei watched in horror, Shu cried out as he was surrounded and vanished under a pile of hissing, cackling shadows.

“SHU NO!!” Wufei screamed as he flew to his lover’s aid, rage flaring through him as he slashed at the pile.  The shadows backed off and cackled as they watched Wufei scramble out of his Gundam and rush to the fallen Shu.  “Shu!? Speak to me!” he cried as he gently lifted Shu’s head.

Shu opened his eyes slightly and grimaced. “Fei, get out of here,” he ordered softly and Wufei growled angrily.  Shu gasped in pain and then his eyes rolled up into his head as unconsciousness claimed him.  Wufei hugged him close and then put him down gently.  The shadows cackled and wove around, taunting him as he stood up slowly.  Tears streaked his face as he glared at them, then looked up as the form of a woman appeared outside of the circle surrounding him.  She smirked at him, but the smirk faded as he glared at her.  A deep purple glow began to surround him as they watched, hissing in anger.  The symbol of ‘Meiyo’ appeared on his forehead and he crossed his arms across his chest. 

Nataku began to glow the same color as Wufei and then broke apart into glowing parts that flew towards Wufei.  Wufei let his arms drop out to his sides and was surrounded by the glowing objects.  The shadows hissed in anger and surprise as they circled him warily.  The glow diminished and Wufei wore yoroi that mirrored the Trooper yoroi and his own Nataku.  He glared icily at the shadows as he reached back and grabbed the kamas* that were on his back.  He brought them to the front, crossing them in front of his torso.  Then, with an angry cry, he attacked the shadows devastatingly.  Shiista, who had been watching, hissed in outrage at having been unable to stop another of the Gundam pilots from receiving their yoroi and ordered the shadows to attack.

*~~**~~*

The other Troopers ran as fast as they could to where Shu and Wufei were, praying they weren’t too late.  Amazingly, even though Seiji, Shin, and Ryo wore their sub yoroi, the pilots kept up with them easily.  They came upon the scene and were both horrified to see Shu down and shocked at seeing Wufei fighting in strange yoroi.  Seiji looked at Quatre and they nodded.  Quatre then transformed into his subyoroi and then he and Seiji transformed into their yoroi.  The others were shocked at seeing Quatre transform into yoroi and watched them go down.  But, they shook themselves out of their stupor and rushed to aid them.  The shadows quickly surrounded them and they fought desperately, the other Troopers protecting the remaining pilots as they tried to get to Wufei and Shu.

Wufei saw the others and was startled to see Quatre in yoroi like him.  ‘So that’s what happened to Sandrock,’ he thought smugly, but then frowned as it looked like the shadows were getting the upper hand.  He brought his kamas up and crossed them again in front of his body.  Calling out in a loud voice he attacked, bringing one kama down with each word. “Doragon...Faia...Dageki!” With the last word, he brought his kamas up and touched the middle of the glowing green X in front of him.  They glowed brighter and dragons’ heads appeared.  The X then split and the dragons moved swiftly towards the shadows.  As they passed close, the shadows screamed in pain as the glowing green fire that was left in their deadly wake destroyed them.

Quatre saw him as did the other Troopers and then followed his instinct as he brought his shotels up before him.  Calling loudly, he swung them over his head, then brought them down. “Hoshi...Shotel...Bakuha!!”  A powerful beam of white light blasted from the crossed blades and destroyed another chunk of the shadows. 

The shadows hissed as they backed away from the Troopers.  Shiista’s eyes narrowed, glowing red with malevolence. /Troopersss….you will not sssucceed…..We will defeat you!/ she cried and then the shadows hissed as they disappeared, leaving the Troopers standing wary and bewildered as they looked at the two transformed pilots. 

Wufei rushed over to Shu, trying to get him to wake up, as the other pilots and Troopers joined him.  Shu’s yoroi had vanished and it was obvious that he had been seriously injured.  Heero checked his pulse and then frowned.  He looked at Ryo. “He’s alive, but he’s badly hurt.  Let’s get him back to the house.” They all nodded and Heero picked up the unconscious Shu gently and they carried him back to the house.
