Chibi Tenchi (Little Angel)

By: Quatre Raberba Winner (Quatre-Chan/Onna-Quatre)

Quatre and Duo were driving back from the video store. They had no missions coming in, so they decided to rent some movies or to be more accurate, anime.

It was pouring rain outside and thunder could be heard right on top of them, lightning flashed about ten miles behind them.

Quatre looked out the window and sighed as the droplets hit. He watched the scenery as they drove by when he spotted something in the ditch by the road, "Duo, stop the car!"

"Why?"

"Just do it!"

The American pilot pulled over to the side of the road and turned off the engine, "What's wrong? Are you okay?"

The blond got out of the car and slowly went into the ditch. Duo watched him for a moment and followed, "What's down here, Quatre? What did you see?"

Quatre looked down at the wet grass and saw something move and heard a soft little cry. He knelt down and moved the high cut pieces of grass. His eyes widened, "A baby.. ." he took off his jacket and wrapped it around the small child.

"Quatre, come on we.. ." his violet eyes diverted their attention to the small bundle in the Arabian boy's arms, "What the hell is that?!"

"Duo.. ." he looked at his companion, "I need you to drive me to the hospital. We have to make sure that she's alright."

Duo looked the baby, "Are you sure she's alive, she's not crying.. ."

"She stopped crying when I picked her up. Please Duo, we have to hurry."

"Right." They walked out of the ditch and got into their car. The longhaired pilot immediately turned around and drove to the hospital.

He looked at the blond, "She doesn't look more than a few days old. Who would do such a thing?"

"I don't know, but this kind of thing isn't uncommon in a war." He looked at the little girl in his arms and whispered, "I'll take care of you, I promise.. ."

"What was the last thing you said Quatre?"

"Nothing.. ."

Duo drove into the hospital and parked the car. They got out of the car and walked into the Emergency Room.

The other three pilots were lounging around the house waiting for their comrades to return.

Trowa sat on a windowsill, watching the rain hit the window pain. He then turned his gaze to the Japanese boy on the couch, "What time is it?"

Heero looked at the clock on his laptop, "8:42pm."

"They should've been back by know." The Latin pilot turned his gaze back to the window.

"Don't worry about them, I'm sure they're fine.. ." he sighed

"It's okay to be worried about him."

The phone began to ring. WuFei walked over and picked up the receiver, "Hello?"

"WuFei, let me talk to Heero."

He turned to face Heero, "Maxwell wants to talk to you." He tosses the phone to him

The Japanese boy put the phone to his ear, "Yeah."

"Hey, don't bother waiting up for me and Quatre."

"Why? Are you okay?"

"Yeah I'm fine, but we were on our way back when Quatre made me pull over. He got out of the car and went into the ditch by the road and found a baby girl.. ."

"A baby?!"

"Yes, a baby. We don't know how long she was out there, so we took her to the hospital. Quatre's with her now."

Heero sighed, "Duo, how old is that child?"

"Only a few days old. The doctors are baffled how she survived in that ditch."

"When are you two coming back?"

"Tomorrow morning and I have to go because my change ran out. Bye, Heero." He hung up

Heero hung up as well and filled the other two boys in on their comrade's discovery.

~*~*~*

It was late at night. Quatre sat in a small nursery next to a crib that the little girl lay in. He smiled at her, "Hey little one, I wish you could tell me, what you were doing in that ditch.. ."

"I wish she could too."

Quatre turned around to see the doctor walk into the room, "Did you find any information on her or her mother?"

"No, I looked everywhere and found nothing. I couldn't even find out what her name is. Although, I did talk to some legal people."

"Legal people?"

She smiled, "Yes legal people. I talked to a police officer and a judge. They said that they normally wouldn't do this, but when I told them how calm this child was in your arms they Okayed it."

"Okayed what?"

"They said that you could take custody of her, if you wanted to. They feel it's the best thing for her if she stayed with you… Do you want her?"

He looked at the baby, "Yes."

"I think she'll like that and since we don't know her name, why don't you name her?"

"Midori."

"Midori?"

"Yes, Midori Bloom Winner.. ."

She put her hand on his shoulder, "I think that's a beautiful name." She walked towards the door, then stopped in her tracks, "I almost forgot, your friend is asleep in the waiting room and you may take her home tomorrow." She walked out of the room

Quatre smiled, 'As of right now you are my daughter. I wonder how Trowa's going to handle this. Not to mention the others…' he sighed and fell asleep in his chair

The next morning, Duo woke up in the waiting room. He stretched and sat up on the couch. He looked at the reception desk and saw his blond companion talking and showing her the baby. The longhaired boy got up and pulled his friend aside, "Quatre, you can't take her with you."

"Why not?"

"Because we're Gundam pilots.. ." he whispered

"I know that, but I don't want anything to happen to her. That's why I've taken her in as my daughter."

Duo let out a heavy sigh, "Quatre, are you going to throw everything away to keep her? Are you willing to throw your relationship with Trowa down the drain?"

"Duo, I don't want to lose Trowa, but if he doesn't respect my decision, then maybe I shouldn't be with him at all."

The American pilot was getting frustrated, "Quatre. Where is she going to sleep and how are you going to take care of her when you don't even have anything for a baby?!"

"I will make one of the extra rooms into a nursery, besides the house we're staying in now belongs to my family, so butt out."

"Listen Quatre, I don't mind that you want to take care of her. I'm just thinking about Heero and the others. What if a mission comes up and you have to leave?"

The Arabian looked at the little girl he was holding, he looked into her big green eyes, "I would hope to get some help from my friends.. ."

"I'll help you, but first let me hold her."

Quatre nodded and gently gave her to Duo. Duo smiled at her, "Hey there.. ."

"Wwwwwwwwwwwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Oh, come here Midori." He took the baby from Duo

Once Quatre held her in his arms again she stopped crying. The Deathscythe pilot blinked, "What the?" he took her into his arms again.

"Wwwwwwaaaaaaaaahhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Duo!" he took the child from him and once again, she stopped crying. He looked at his friend, "Let's go home.. ." he walked towards the door.

"Man, that child's picky. I just hope the others won't kill Quatre for what he's doing. Even though it's the right thing to do.. ." he walked out the door.

~~~

Heero sat on the front porch waiting for his comrades to return, he let a small smile cross his face when he saw the car pull into the driveway.

Duo got out of the car and ran up to his lover, "Hey Heero, is Trowa around?"

"No, he went to the circus to see Catherine."

The longhaired boy sighed in relief, "Okay Quatre, you can come out now."

The blond Arabian stepped out of the vehicle with the child in his arms. Heero looked at him in surprise, "Quatre.. ."

"I know Heero, but I love this child. I hope you can understand this."

The Japanese pilot grunted in response and walked into the house with the other two boys right behind him.

They walked into the living room, Duo looked at the Chinese boy on the couch, "WuFei, we've got something to show you.. ."

"Maxwell, how many times do I have to tell you, if you have THAT kind of problem, take it up with Yuy."

Quatre sighed, "WuFei, look at me.. ."

The black haired pilot turned his gaze to the blond, his eyes widened, "Winner, don't tell me that's the.. ."

"Yes, it's the baby we found. I've taken her in as my daughter, I couldn't stand it if anything happened to her. I hope you can forgive me for my sudden action."

"Quatre," WuFei walked over to him and looked at the sleeping child in his arms, "this is the most honorable thing to do. I'm not mad, BUT if a mission comes up, what are you going to do?"

"If we all have to go, I'll ask Miss Noin or Sally to take of her. If they can't, then as a last resort, I'll ask Miss Relena."

Heero put his hand on the blonde's shoulder, "Quatre, if none of those people can watch her, we'll take care of the mission and you can stay here and take care of her. Now, you need to go buy some things for her, I'll take you shopping and I'll take the cell phone. Call me if we get a mission, also keep an eye out for Trowa. Do not tell him about the child."

"Heero, Duo, WuFei, just so you don't keep calling her baby or child, her name's Midori."

The Chinese pilot looked at him, "Green? Why'd you name her that?"

"Because her eyes are emerald green."

"So she has green eyes and blond hair, in other words she looks like a cross between you and Trowa.. ." Duo smiled at the comment he just made.

Quatre blushed slightly, "I guess we should be going now Heero."

Heero nodded and walked out the front door with the blond behind him. They piled into the car and drove off.

Quatre looked at the Japanese boy, "Heero, why are you being so supportive? I understand WuFei's point of view about being honorable, Duo doesn't understand much about this situation, however he's going with the flow. I don't know how Trowa's going to react. I just can't understand why you are supporting me."

"I admire what you are doing. Something happened to me awhile ago that I don't care to go into, but I will tell you this. About six weeks ago, WuFei and I were driving back from a mission on that same road. I saw something in the ditch and made WuFei pull over."

"What did you find?"

Heero sighed, "I found a little boy, about a year old. I retrieved the child from the ditch and told WuFei to drive me to the hospital. After we got there, we left the child in their care and left. I never went back to see if he was all right and I still regret it. That's why I admire you."

"You always seem so cold, even to Duo sometimes, but I guess even a perfect soldier can have regret."

The Wing Gundam pilot parked the car in the parking lot of a local shopping center. He got out the car and opened the passenger side door.

Quatre stepped out of the vehicle slowly, so he wouldn't disturb the slumbering baby. They walked into the store and began to look for the essentials, crib, dippers, clothes, etc.

Once they got into the store, Midori awoke and looked at her surroundings. They were walking down an isle of stuffed animals. The small child's eyes lit up as she grabbed on one of the toys in her tiny little grasp.

The two boys stopped and looked at her, "What do you have?" Quatre asked.

She pulled on the toy a little harder and dropped it onto the floor. Her eyes started to tear up, "Wwaahh!!!!"

Heero knelt down and picked up the stuffed toy, "It's a stuffed lion."

"Shh.. . stop crying Midori. Heero, give her the lion."

Heero shrugged and gave her the lion, "There, now don't start crying again, okay?" she gave him a tiny giggle and he smiled.

They continued down the isle. Midori kept giggling as she held onto the stuffed lion. Heero glanced at her then at Quatre, "You know, you're going to spoil her."

"So? It's not like I can't afford it."

Heero stopped in his tracks and answered his cell phone, "Hello?"

"Heero, is Quatre there?"

"Yeah, hang on," he looked at Quatre, "Trowa's on the phone."

The blond nodded and gently gave Heero the child in exchange for the phone, "Hi, Trowa.. ."

"Quatre, have some really good news."

"What?"

"I know my real name. I can guarantee Trowa Barton sounds a lot better, but at least I have my own name."

Quatre blinked for a second, "What is it?"

"Triton Bloom. Catherine really is my sister. She told me herself and I know she would never lie to me, but you can still call me Trowa."

"Trowa, where are you?"

"I'm still at the circus. I'll be home in an hour or two, why?"

"I have a surprise for you when you come home.. ."

"I can't wait. I'll see you later." He hung up.

Quatre looked at the phone in his hand and then hung it up. He smiled as he looked at how peaceful Midori looked in the Japanese pilot's arms. She never made a sound while he was on the phone, it was more than he could say for the incident at the hospital with Duo. He sighed, 'I guess deep down, I knew Catherine really was Trowa's sister. So now, I guess Midori's middle name really makes sense.. .'

"Quatre?" Heero questioned

"I'm fine Heero. I'll take her again, if you want."

Heero smiled at the child, "I would like to hold her, just a while longer."

The Arabian nodded and they walked towards the check out.

After they left the store they had spent over $1,000. They pulled into the driveway moments later. Heero waited for Duo to tell them it was okay to enter and they unloaded their perches' into the house.

Heero held Midori, while Quatre fixed a bottle for her lunch. Duo and WuFei were making the spare room next to Trowa and Quatre's room into a nursery.

About 45 minutes later, Quatre had put Midori down for a nap in her room. The blond sat on the couch in the living room and looked out the window for Trowa.

"Quatre, you okay?"

He looked over his shoulder to see a worried American behind him, "I'm fine, just nervous I guess."

"Look, I know you're scared, but if the coldest guy on earth can warm up to this child, then certainly Trowa will be able to. He loves you Quatre and he'll do anything to help you, never forget that.. ."

"That's very wise, I'm very surprised it came from you, The God of Death."

"Well, I have a sensitive side too, besides that was my serious moment for the day. So now it's time for me to raid the fridge." He walked out of the room.

He sighed and looked out the window again, "I hope you're right, Duo.. ."

Trowa arrived at the house at 4:20 in the afternoon. He walked out of the car and entered the house. He looked at the blond on the couch, "Hey Quatre."

Quatre felt a chill run down his spine, 'No, I can't tell him now. I just can't.. .' he got out of his seat and went up the stairs without a word.

The Latin pilot of Heavyarms looked at him in confusion, "Quatre?" he followed his lover up the stairs.

He made it to the top and watched Quatre enter the room next to theirs. 'What could he be up to.. .' he thought.

Trowa walked in front of the door and knocked, "Quatre, are you okay? If something's bothering you, let's talk about it.. ."

"I don't feel like talking right now. I'll see you later, Trowa."

The long banged pilot sighed and walked away. He walked into the kitchen and sat at the table with his comrades, "Do you know why Quatre's acting this way?"

"It's because he doesn't want to tell you about the.. ." Duo started to say, but was interrupted be Heero, who shoved a drumstick into his mouth.

"Didn't want to tell me what?"

"It's nothing, Barton." WuFei sneered.

Heero looked at the tall pilot, "We can't tell you, even though we know what's going on. You'll just have to wait until Quatre tells you."

It was now 6:00pm, Quatre was still in the nursery with Midori, who was crying because she was hungry.

The other four pilots were in the kitchen eating their dinner. Trowa sighed and stood up, "I'm going to check on Quatre." He walked out of the kitchen.

"Heero, WuFei, if he walks into that room, he'll see something he's not ready to see.. ."

Heero and WuFei looked at each other, then at Duo. Like reading the other's mind, the quickly followed the Heavyarms pilot up the stairs.

Trowa knocked on the door, "Quatre, we need to talk.. ."

"I.. . I can't right now."

"If you don't let me in right now, I'll let myself in."

The other boys caught up with Trowa and stood in front of the door. Heero heaved a heavy sigh, "Quatre, you have to open the door."

"All right, open the door Trowa."

The Latin pilot slowly opened the door. When he and the other three boys entered the room they saw their blond comrade in a white wicker rocking chair. He held the small child in his arms trying to get her to stop crying.

Trowa blinked, "Please tell me that's Noin's child."

"No.. ." the blond replied quietly.

He looked at WuFei, "Sally's?"

"Hell no!" the Chinese pilot yelled.

"I doubt it's Relena's and I certainly hope it's not Dorothy's.. ."

"Trowa.. . I love you and no one else, but there is some one else in my life and you're looking at her."

"Quatre, I'm not following you."

"Uh, Trowa, this is the child Duo and I found and I've taken her in as my daughter.. ."

Trowa stood in the middle of the room, blinked and then passed out onto the floor.

Duo ran out of the room and returned a few seconds later with a thing of smelling salt. He knelt down and waved it back and forth under the unconscious pilot's nose.

Trowa opened his and looked at Quatre again, "Nope, that ain't going to do it.. ." he passed out again.

Heero looked at the Arabian, "Quatre, give me Midori and I'll fix her a bottle. You and WuFei help Trowa into bed. Duo, you come with me."

Quatre nodded and handed his daughter to the Japanese pilot. Heero and Duo left the room and Quatre and WuFei soon followed with the unconscious Trowa.

Heero and Duo entered the kitchen. Heero looked at the Deathscythe pilot, "Take her and sit at the table while fix her dinner."

"No prob." He took the child from his lover.

She looked at Heero, then at Duo, "Wwwwwaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!"

"Man, this child just doesn't like me.. ."

Heero took the child back into his arms, "Sshh.. . It's all right. Duo follow the directions on the formula and make her dinner."

"Fine." He walked toward the cupboards, "Why doesn't she like me, Heero?"

"I don't know.. ."

Midori looked at Duo, "Ba'a." she giggled.

Duo stopped what he was doing and looked at his lover, "What did she say?"

"It sounded like she called you a baka." He laughed.

"Well for her sake I hope she said baba."

~~~

Trowa awoke in his bed. He blinked and then glanced at the blond beside him, "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Because I was afraid of how you would've reacted. Besides I knew you weren't ready for this.. ."

The long banged pilot sat up, "Quatre, you're right, I'm definitely not ready to be a father, but this isn't about being ready, it's about priority. I wasn't ready to have comrades, to have people who care about me and I certainly wasn't ready to fall in love. But I put all that aside and went with it."

"Trowa.. ."

"Quatre, you are not in this relationship alone. Whatever happens to you effects me too. I'm very scared about this step our relationship has reached, but I will help you take care of her.. ."

Quatre arched an eyebrow, "Who are you and what have you done to Trowa Barton?"

"Trowa Barton died when I met you.. ."

"That's sweet Trowa, but I think you need sleep. However I should warn you that I will have the baby monitor in here, so if you hear her cry let me take care of it."

Trowa smiled, "Fair enough, by the way, what's our daughter's name?"

"Um.. . her name is Midori. Midori Bloom Winner."

"Well, I guess she really is my daughter if her middle name is my true last name.. ." he laid back down and shut his eyes, "Quatre, tomorrow I would like to hold her."

"Sure, I just hope she doesn't cry at your touch like she does at Duo." He got off the bed and left the room.

It had been about seven weeks since Quatre and Duo had found their new "comrade." Heero had gone a mission with WuFei, Quatre had gone on an emergency meeting for the estate and to his dismay he couldn't take Midori with him. Trowa had gone to help Catherine at the circus, she had told him that one of the lions were very sick and she needed him down there right away, which left Duo Maxwell in charge of the baby.

"WWWWAAAAAHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"Please stop crying.. . Will it make you happy if I do some funny faces?" he held Midori in front of him and made some ridiculous faces.

She stopped crying and looked at Duo. Her eyes started to tear up again, "Wwwaaaahhhh!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The Deathscythe pilot sat in an armchair with the crying child in his arms. He looked away from her, tears were welling up in his eyes, 'No, boys don't cry.. . But this child hates me for no good reason.' His tears started to roll down his face.

Midori stopped her wailing and looked at the longhaired boy. She grabbed a tissue from the near by box and held it out to Duo, "D' kie.. ."

Duo looked down at her, "For me?" he took the tissue and wiped away the tears and smiled at the little girl. "Thank you, so you don't hate me?"

She curled up against his chest and fell asleep. His smiled grew wider, "I'll take that as a 'no'."

It was like that for the whole week. Midori would cry and stop when it looked like Duo was, except now she would only cry if she needed something.

It was at the end of the week and three out of the four pilots returned. Trowa had immediately taken charge of the baby, considering he was one of the baby's fathers. WuFei had gone in the back yard and did some of his katas, Heero was typing on his laptop, looking over the new mission that was coming up in four days and Duo was playing with Midori when Trowa wasn't busy with her.

The current time now was 7:50pm. Trowa had rocked his daughter to sleep and then sat in the living room drinking coffee with his friends, when Quatre walked into the house.

The four boys looked at their blond comrade. Duo's jaw almost hit the floor, "Quatre, what happened to you? You look like you haven't slept in days.. ."

"I haven't. After the meeting I was going to come home, but it was late, so I decided to stay the night at the estate. What I didn't know.. ." he sneezed, "was that there was a horrible cold virus in the colony. I asked Iria about it and she told me that I should get two days bed rest and break up with Trowa, then I should be fine.. ."

Trowa shook his head and walked over to the little blond, "Well, I think the first suggestion sounds like a good idea. Why don't you go up to bed and I'll bring you a cup of tea."

"I'll help him up stairs." Heero put an arm around the Sandrock pilot to help him keep his balance and walked up stairs.

It was the next morning and Quatre had failed to get to sleep. Between his sneezing and coughing fits, not to mention Midori crying because she needed to be changed or fed, he got four and a half hours of sleep.

Trowa had gotten up and made breakfast for him and the rest of the group. The four pilots sat at the table and ate their food. The tall pilot of Heavyarms held the little girl in his arms and smiled at her as she drank her bottle.

When she was done with that Trowa had burped her over his shoulder.

Heero laughed, "I don't know who's worse, her or Duo."

"Hey!"

"Sorry Duo, but you know it's a good question."

Midori looked around the table. Her eyes once again started to tear up, "Wwwaaahhh!!!!"

Trowa looked down at her, "Sshh.. . it's okay."

"What's wrong with her?" WuFei asked.

"I think she wants to see Quatre."

Heero looked at Trowa, "I know Quatre's not feeling well, but I can take her to see him for just a few minutes, so you can eat. And I'm sure a few minutes wouldn't harm her."

The green eyed boy nodded and gave the crying child to the Japanese pilot. Heero took her up stairs and stopped in front of Quatre and Trowa's room. He knocked on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Heero. I have someone who wants to see you.. ."

"Come in."

He opened the door quietly and walked over to the bed, "Here he is, Midori."

Midori looked at the Arabian and smiled, "Da a'."

"Midori.. ." Quatre raised his hand and stroked the little strands of hair.

"She was crying because you weren't down stairs with us. By the way, how are you feeling?"

Quatre brought his hand back to his side, "I feel awful. My throat hurts and I can't breathe.. ."

"Fee' be'er."

"I'll try.. ."

"Quatre, have you noticed that she is almost three months old and she sounds like she's speaking?"

The blond nodded, "It's her way of communicating. And I think it's helping us understand her more." he coughed.

"Okay Midori, that's our cue to leave. We'll come in later and discuss our next mission." He walked towards the door with Midori looking over his shoulder.

"I ov' ou'."

Quatre smiled as they left, "I love you too.. ." he fell asleep.

That afternoon, Duo had put Midori down for her nap and now that she was asleep, it was the perfect opportunity to go over their mission plans.

Heero sighed and showed his comrades the mission on his laptop, "This is our new mission. Unfortunately this is on Relena's request.. ."

"Why is that stupid woman sending us orders?" WuFei asked.

"Romefeller is in the Cinq Kingdom. She is holding a costume party and the people of the Romefeller foundation are going to be there as well. So we need to be there. In a normal situation with her, I would send her an e-mail and told her it's none of her business, however since our enemy is there we may be able to get some information."

Quatre looked at the Wing Gundam pilot, "Do all of us have to go?"

"Yes, and Noin and Sally are going to be there. Since this is a party, I don't think Romefeller will try anything, so I think it's safe if we take her with us."

Duo gazed at the Japanese boy, "What do we have to dress up as?"

"She wants us to dress up as the cast of Sailor Moon so we can match her costume." He looked at Duo, "However, I will allow you to pick out our costumes, just as long as they are not from Sailor Moon and you also have to find a costume small enough for Midori."

"Leave it to me, Heero!"

Trowa looked at three of his comrades, "Now that that's settled. You guys need to leave, so Quatre can get some rest."

It was the night of the party. Duo was in the nursery putting on his and Midori's costumes. Heero was in his bedroom putting on his. The other three pilots were waiting in the hallway to see what their comrades looked like.

"Are you ready to see what Midori and I look like?" Duo asked.

"Yes, we're ready Maxwell."

Duo walked out of the room with the little girl in his arms. His long chestnut hair was down and was now sky blue. He wore white boots that went up to his thighs and was wearing a blue school uniform. And Midori wore little white booties and a small green school uniform.

"What do you think?" Duo asked

Trowa smiled, "I think you look like an idiot and Midori looks cute. Now all we need is to see Heero."

Heero opened the door slowly and walked up to his friends. His hair was bright green, with a small ponytail in the back and he had fake scars on his face. Along with that he was wearing a yellow outfit with a long sword strapped to his back. He glared at his friends, "Laugh at me and I will kill you.. ."

Midori looked at the blue eyed pilot of Wing, "Fe'io.. ."

Quatre smiled, "This is so cute! Now Duo, where are our costumes?"

"Your costume is in your bedroom, WuFei, yours is in your room and Trowa, yours is in the bathroom."

They nodded and went into their respective rooms.

Five minutes later, Duo had given Midori to Heero and walked up to WuFei's room, "Now, behind door number one.. ."

WuFei stepped out. His black hair was now purple and he wore a strange green out fit and was holding a staff.

"My I present to you, Xellos!" Duo smirked and walked over to the bathroom, "And behind door number two.. ."

Trowa walked out. He was wearing a long blond wig, light blue clothing and some armor. Duo grinned, "Gourry Gabriev!" he waked over to Quatre's room, "And behind door number three.. ."

"I'm NOT coming out!"

Trowa sighed, "Come on, Quatre. You can't look any worse than me."

"Fine. Just don't laugh.. ." he stepped out. He was wearing a long orange wig, magenta shirt and pants, white boots and gloves and a black cape.

The longhaired pilot of Deathscythe chuckled, "Last but not least, Lina Inverse!"

Trowa shook his head, "Why did you make me Gourry? I'm nothing like him. I don't say 'light come fish' and I certainly don't think a fiancé is a pickle."

"Trowa.. ." Quatre walked up to his tall lover, "I'm not a girl, but I have to go with it. So just fake it."

"Yeah, just like you fake your orgasms!" Duo chimed.

"I do not!"

"Trowa, this isn't the time or the place to discuss or sex life. Let's just go.. ."

They agreed and walked out the door.

~~~

It was an hour-long drive and with Heero driving it made it all the more longer. He deliberately found traffic so he wouldn't have to see Relena right away. They parked the car about 15 minutes away from Relena's house. Another one of Heero's useless attempts to avoid the Peacecraft princess.

They walked into the building. Heero was carrying Midori, Duo walked right beside him, Quatre and Trowa walked in arm in arm and WuFei brought up the rear.

There was no sign of Relena in the room, Heero let out a sigh of relief.

"Heero, I'd knew you'd come!"

Duo looked at the Japanese boy, "You let out that sigh way too soon.. ."

"I'm glad you could make It." she gave Duo a death glare and turned back to Heero, "Heero, is that your child.. .?"

He looked at the baby, then at Duo, then back at her, "Yes. Yes it is."

"Well, I know it's not mine. It can't be Duo's.. ."

"Well, you know medical science now a days. Believe me when I tell you never have children, I hurts like hell." Duo winked at his lover.

"I see. Well let me just ask you one thing."

Heero sighed, "What is it?"

"Why aren't you dressed liked the cast of Sailor Moon?"

"Well, Heero had sent me out to get the costumes and when I got there, they said they didn't have any.. ."

"Duo, why are you lying?" Heero whispered

"Who said I was lying.. ."

"Whatever." Relena smiled, "Let me hold the baby, Heero." She looked at Midori

She looked at Relena, "WWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Quatre and Trowa looked in the direction the cry came from and ran over to the source. They stopped at the sight of their crying daughter.

Quatre walked over and took Midori from the Japanese pilot, "Sshh.. . it's all right, Daddy's here.. ."

Relena glared at Heero and Duo, "She's Quatre's child?!"

"Yes, she's mine. Why?"

Relena turned around, "I'll see you later, Mr. Yuy." She walked away.

"What was that about?" Trowa asked

Heero let a small smile cross his face, "I told her Midori was my daughter so she would leave me alone. Now that that's taken care of, we can get down to business." He looked around the room, "Where's WuFei?"

Trowa pointed across the room, "He's over there talking to Sally."

"I don't see Sally.. ." the longhaired pilot of Deathscythe looked around frantically.

"She's the one with the green hair. She's dressed up like Martina. And I think WuFei is getting way too far into character." Quatre sighed.

"Why do you say that?" Heero asked

"Well now, that is a secret.. ."

Heero blinked, "I see."

"There you are, my greatest rival, Lina Inverse!"

The blonde's eyes widened, "Please don't tell me.. ."

Dorothy ran over to the Sandrock pilot, "Isn't this fitting. You are dressed like Lina and you are my rival."

Duo looked at her and arched an eyebrow, "And what are you? Hookers on last call?"

"No. I'm Naga the Serpent!"

Midori looked at Dorothy's eyebrows, "WWWWWWWWWWWWAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

The green-eyed pilot of Heavyarms got in the young women's face, "I suggest you get out of here, unless you want me to shave your eyebrows off.. ."

"No, no." she turned around, "But I'll be back, Lina Inverse!" she let out an evil laugh and ran off.

"Naga's scary enough." Duo smiled at Midori

"Yeah, and she's scarier than Naga." He looked at Heero and gave him the terrified child, "Take her home and we'll stay here and investigate."

"But how will you get home?" Duo asked

"Noin can drive us."

"Alright." He looked at Midori, "Say bye, bye."

She looked at Quatre and Trowa, "Bi, Da'e. Bi, Pa'a."

They smiled at her and then went their separate ways.

~*~*~*

Heero and Duo arrived back at the estate. Duo took Midori in the kitchen for a small bottle while Heero went into the bathroom to wash out the green dye in his hair.

He came out five minutes later. He walked into the kitchen and walked over to Duo, "I'll take her now, go into our room and change out of that costume."

The longhaired, violet-eyed boy nodded and gave Heero the child. The Japanese pilot walked into the bathroom. He turned on the water and began to fill the tub. When the water was at the right height, he shut it off. He then discarded Midori's clothes and his own, then climbed into the tub.

Duo walked down the hall in his bathrobe. He saw the bathroom light on, "What's he up to.. ." he peeked in around the corner and saw Heero in the tub with Midori. 'How cute. Quatre and Trowa would never forgive me if I didn't capture this moment.' He walked back down the hall and returned moments later with a camcorder.

Midori was splashing and giggling away. Heero smiled at her, "You remind of Duo, you know that? You both hate Relena and Dorothy, you both love life, you're both full of energy.. ."

She stopped what she was doing and looked at Heero. The pilot of Wing kissed her on the top of the head. She moved a little and kissed him on the cheek, "I 'ov ou, Heewo."

He smiled, "And you and Duo both love me, but I don't know why.. ."

Midori looked around the room and spotted a long, chestnut braid by the door, "Ba'a."

"Hmm?"

She pointed to the door, "Ba'a."

He followed her gaze, "DUO!"

Duo heard his name being shouted and bolted for the bedroom.

About ten minutes later, he was walking down the hall again. He saw the bathroom light was out and decided to check the nursery. He peeked into the room and saw his lover in the rocking chair.

Heero rocked the little girl. She was struggling to get to sleep, because it was normally Quatre or Trowa and occasionally Duo who put her to bed.

"Sshh.. . I know.. ." he gently rubbed small circles on her back, "Would it make you feel better if I sang you to sleep?"

'Sing? All this time I've known Heero, I've never heard him sing. Well there's a first time for everything and this will be a moment to remember.. .' he pulled out a small tape recorder and set it to record.

Heero took a deep breath,

"Suki datta.. . hitori sora o miage

Never say good bye to you my friends
Because I make your dreams come true
Hotnotou no ore, dear friends forever
Uketomete koreta, dear my friends forever." He got out of the rocking chair and set the sleeping child in her crib.

Duo shut off the recorder and hightailed it back to their room before Heero could catch him spying.

The next morning, Heero had gone out to get some supplies for their next mission. Trowa, Quatre and WuFei got in rather late the night before and were still asleep. Duo was down stairs watching TV and feeding Midori.

At about 9:30am, the other pilots joined the waking world. Duo saw them enter the kitchen and decided to follow. He sat at the table with them and gave Midori to Quatre. He looked at WuFei, "WuFei, do you know how to speak Japanese?"

"Yes. Why?"

"I recorded something that I need translated.. ."

Trowa looked at him with a confused looked on his face, "Why don't you ask Heero to translate it?"

"Because it's him. Last night he sang to Midori to put her to sleep and I was wondering what the song said. So can you translate just by hearing it?"

The Chinese pilot nodded, "Go get the recording and I'll get something to write on."

"Thanks a lot, Wu."

He glared at the Deathscythe pilot, "Don't ever call me that."

The longhaired boy ran up to his room and returned seconds later with the recorder, "You ready?" he saw the pilot of Shenlong nod, "Here it is.. ."

He pressed the play button and soon the room was filled with the sweet sound of Heero's voice.

Midori smiled and looked up at Quatre, "Heewo."

He smiled back at her, "Yes that's Heero.. ."

The song ended and he stopped the player, "Well?"

WuFei handed him the pad of paper, "Read it for yourself."

Duo read the lyrics to him self then looked at his comrades and smiled.

"What's it say? Trowa asked

Duo took a deep breath and began to read the lyrics,

"I used to love it.. . looking up at the
sky alone
in the middle of the night,
reminiscing


I was to young.. . more stubborn than
Anyone,
And iced over with pride.
Something about me was strange.


When I close my eyes, I can see
The person I used to be who kept 
his heart so closed
fading away into the distance.. .


I was so lonely, but now,
I have so many friends here that
Never make fun of me,
Or even have to force a smile
Ah, dear friends forever.


I would laugh at things like
Friendship,
Dreams and beauty.. . and when we
Would meet
In a casual encounter I'd keep
Refusing to come with you.
That's just the way I used to be


In this cold unmoving body, I feel
My heart
Becoming warmer. Does this feeling mean
Someone's becoming precious to me?


I believe you're everything, from now on.
Since you can live so carefree with me, who can't
Even say a simple 'thank you'.. . friends like that are not bad at all. Ah, dear friends forever.


I'll never say good bye to you my friends.
Because I make your dreams come true.
This is the real me, dear friends forever.
You who snapped me out of it, dear my friends forever."

Quatre smiled, "Heero has come a long way, hasn't he?"

"Yeah. I'm going to keep this tape. I'm glad I recorded this last night."

"You what?!"

The four pilots looked at the doorway of the kitchen. Duo's eyes widened, "Heero.. ."

Heero walked into the kitchen and gave his American lover a death glare, "Give me that tape or omae o korosu.. ."

"No, Heero. I won't. I never get to see your sensitive side, unless we're alone. This is the only thing I have that proves that there is more to you than your cold personality. It makes me believe that your heart isn't dead and cold."

"Duo, my heart is very much alive thanks to you. I will always love you. Now that you know that, give me that tape!" he ran towards Duo.

The braided American moved away, "No." he ran into the living room with Heero in hot pursuit.

Heero chased Duo all over the house, up the stairs, down the stairs, on the furniture. As a final attempt, he tackled his beloved baka and took him to the floor. He smiled at the boy beneath him, "I caught you, so give me the tape."

"I don't want to."

"Duo, I'll be happy to sing for you whenever you want. I'd do almost anything for you. Duo I know you. As soon as we get into an argument, you would threaten to send that tape to Relena, then I'd cave. I would hope you and I would be able to settle an argument by talking instead of threatening each other."

Duo looked into Prussian blue eyes, "You win." He handed Heero the tape, "When are we going on our mission?"

"In an hour. Tell Quatre and Trowa to be ready to leave."

"They're leaving Midori with WuFei?!"

Heero nodded and got off Duo. They kissed and went back into the kitchen.

Three hours later, Trowa, Quatre, Heero and Duo were in the OZ base searching for information on the plans to take over the Cinq Kingdom.

They turned every which way when they finally found the main computer room. Trowa and Heero sat down and began to hack into the computer files and Quatre and Duo went through the files in the file cabinet.

Duo looked at the Japanese pilot over his shoulder, "Find anything?"

"No. You?"

"Noda."

Quatre dropped the files he was holding and started to shake. Trowa looked at him with worry in his eyes, "Are you okay?"

"Move and I'll shoot.. ."

The other three pilots looked in the direction the voice came from and saw an OZ soldier holding their blond comrade at gunpoint.

"Surrender and I'll let you and your friend live for the time being."

They looked at each other then at Quatre. They nodded to the soldier and put their hands up in the air. The soldier held them all at gunpoint and pushed them into a cell, "My superior will come and interrogate you shortly." He shut the door to the cell.

It was now about 10:00pm. Duo paced back and forth in the cell, "We've been in here for over nine hours and no one has come to interrogate us and they haven't brought us any food. What kind of prison is this!"

"Duo, there's more to think about other than food." Quatre sighed.

Heero looked at him, "You're talking about Midori, aren't you?"

"Midori, so that's that little girl's name." The door slid open and the commander of the OZ unit at that particular base entered the cell.

"Who are you?" the longhaired pilot asked.

"My name is Commander Chris Thomson."

The blond Arabian gave him a death glare, "You were the one eyeing me at the party."

"What are you talking about, Quatre?" Duo asked.

"Yes, I was eyeing you. Because you were holding my daughter."

"Midori can't be yours. I refuse to believe it."

He chuckled and ran his hand through his blond hair, "She has her mother's eyes. If you don't believe me, than here's my proof." He took out his wallet and showed the four boys a picture of him, his girlfriend and a little baby girl.

"Midori…" Quatre gasped.

"When she was born I was only a second rank officer. Being part of this organization I wasn't aloud to have any kind of relationship. However this was, I guess you could say my 'high school sweetheart.' We dated secretly and one night when I was on a date with her and she told me she was pregnant. I laid low for a few months and I asked for the day off when the baby was due and I got it, but things didn't go as planned. About seven months into her pregnancy she went into labor. I ditched my post so I could be with her, but I was followed by my superiors. After Kristina, my girlfriend, gave birth, the doctor took the child and brought her to the nursery. I had gone off to talk to the doctor and when I came back I found her dead. Knowing that it was done by my superiors I went into the nursery and took the child. I went back to Kristina's apartment and stayed there for two days, then I left and dumped the child in the ditch by the road. My superiors saw me do the whole thing and now I am one of many in this organization with power, I no longer regret abandoning her.. ."

~~~

"WWWWAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"

WuFei walked into the nursery and glared at the crying child, "Stop your infernal whining, you're just as bad as Maxwell!"

"WWWWWWWAAAAAAAHHHHHHH!!!!!"

"I fed you an hour ago, I changed you five minutes ago, what else do you want?!"

She stopped crying and looked at her stuffed lion, the lion had bright green eyes, then she looked at her stuffed camel, and it had big blue eyes. Then she looked at her stuffed panther, it was jet black and it had violet eyes, then she looked at her teddy bear, the bear was dark brown and it had Prussian blue eyes. She looked back at WuFei, "Wwwwaaaahhhhh!!!!!!!!"

"I get it, you worried about them, aren't you?" he picked her up and rubbed small circles on her back, "It's okay, come with me.. ." he grabbed the lion out of the crib and took that and the crying child to his room.

He sat her down on his bed and took something out from under it, it was a small stuffed white dragon with onyx colored eyes. He sat on the bed and took Midori into his lap and showed her the stuffed animal, "This is the only thing I have from my childhood, but you can have it if you want it."

Her tears had stopped and she looked at the stuffed object, "Dwagon.. ." she took the toy from the Chinese pilot and hugged it.

"You can give it a name if you'd like."

"Na'ku."

"Nataku?"

She nodded. WuFei smiled at her and laid her and himself on the bed. Midori curled up with her two toys and snuggled up against WuFei, "I 'ov 'ou, Wu-Cha'."

WuFei sighed, "I can see why everyone is so attached to you, you can remind anyone that they are human, no matter what destiny awaits them.. ."

~~~

"You son of a bitch!!" Quatre snarled.

Duo looked at his enraged comrade in surprise. He had never heard his blond friend curse before.

"You have no right to say that you're Midori's father, not if you have no regret for what you've done. She's a sweet, innocent girl and you almost cost her, her life. What would your girlfriend think?!"

"Probably that I'm a worthless jackass that shouldn't have been born, but that doesn't matter because she's dead and now you will join her in the afterlife." He raised his gun and aimed it at the four pilots, "After I kill you I will go after the last Gundam pilot and soon 'Midori' will die as well. Nothing will get in my way.. ." he moved his finger toward the trigger.

"NO!" Quatre reached back and then sliced the commander in half with Duo's scythe. He looked at the severed body and the blood that now stained the cell and his clothes, "Burn in hell." He walked out of the cell.

"Was that Quatre?" Trowa asked, he had never seen his angel so angry.

Duo shook his head, "I told Shinigami to do it. He left my body momentarily to give Quatre the strength he needed to kill that bastard."

"Duo, what will happen to Quatre's mental state?" the Japanese boy asked.

"He'll get over it, I hope."

They looked at the body and then left the cell and walked out of the base. They climbed into their truck and drove to a hotel.

~*~*~*

They arrived back at Quatre's estate the next morning. They walked in the house and WuFei greeted them at the door with Midori in his arms. Quatre took the child away from the Chinese pilot and whispered to the little girl, "I'm sorry.. ."

"What happened?"

Heero sighed, "It's a long story." He looked at Quatre, who was now sobbing, "Quatre, you did the right thing."

Three months later.. .

The Gundam pilots were still staying at the estate. Heero stood against the counter drinking his coffee, Quatre and Trowa were doing the dishes, WuFei sat at the table and read the newspaper and Duo was also sitting at the table in front of Midori's highchair. He was trying to get her to eat some baby food. He put some on the spoon, "Come on, eat."

She shook her head, "Yucky."

"No, it's not yucky. It's good, see I like it." he ate the food that was on the spoon, "This is great!" he ate some more.

Midori looked at him and opened her mouth. When the spoon didn't come her way her eyes started to tear up, "WWWAAAHHH!!!!"

"Tough, you had your chance!" he ate some more.

She stopped her crying and glared at the Deathscythe pilot, "Omae o korosu.. ."

Everyone, except Heero, stopped what they were doing at the sound of her words and looked at the Wing Gundam's pilot.

Duo swallowed the food, "Heero, what have you been teaching her?!"

The End

Quatre-Chan: "Well that's the fic, I hope you had fun."

Heero: "Not so fast. We need to have your ceremony."

Quatre-Chan: "What ceremony?"

Quatre: "This one."

Duo: *walks up to Quatre-Chan and puts a crown on her head.*

Trowa: "We now crown you.. ."

Duo: "The Queen of Sap!"

Quatre-Chan: *eyes tear up*

WuFei: "Why are you crying, my little chibi writer?"

Quatre-Chan: *sniff* "Because I'm the Queen of Sap!!!!!!!!!!!" *starts bawling*

G-Boys: *feel guilty*

WuFei: *picks her up*

Heero: "Give her to me."

WuFei: *gives the crying, chibi writer to Heero*

Heero: *gives her a kiss on the cheek*

Hee-Chan: "But Heero, what about me?!"

Heero: "When you get crowned as something as degrading as the Queen of Sap, then we'll talk."

Quatre-Chan: *sticks tongue out at Hee-Chan and smiles at the G-Boys* "See ya next time and don't forget to send me comments at quatre_chan5@hotmail.com ."

WuFei: "And don't flame her."

Quatre: "She'll flame you right back."

Trowa: "And if you do.. ."

Heero: "We will kill you. That is our mission."

Quatre-Chan: "No, your mission is to star in my fics!"

G-Boys: "Oh yeah."
