The other eight soldiers where sitting around a table. They where sharing jokes and talking loudly, even Ai and Wufei seemed to be engulfed in conversation.
Quatre turned white and tried to scramble away from the table as a silver snake slithered into the kitchen.
“What’s a wrong Kat?” Trowa asked quietly.
“S…sn…snake!” He whispered turning white.
Trowa looked up to see a large silver snake slither under the table. He bolted up. The other pilots where looking at him strangely. It isn’t like Trowa to act like this… Duo frowned.
“What’s wrong Trowa?” Heero asked, also noticing the silent pilot start to panic.
“I saw a snake under the table.” He squeaked.
Quatren frowned. “What color was it?” She asked, looking up from Trevor.
“Silver…” Quatren muttered.
“Ack… Anna come out, now.” Quatren demanded impatiently. She smiled as the silver snake slithered up her arm. It wrapped around her neck and it’s tongue flicked over the visor. “Oh… shit… Trevor…They’re at it again.” She said as she stood and ran out of the kitchen.
“Tha… that’s her… pet?” Quatre stuttered still a strange shade of white.
“Not really… I made it for her. She wanted something to guard her… but she uses it as a spying toy- mainly on Hera and Junior to make sure they don’t kill each other…” Trevor answered as he followed Quatren.
Ai was already out the door with Quatren leaving the original pilots by themselves. “Odd…” Quatre muttered as he got up to follow Trevor.
When Heero and the rest of the Pilots showed up they saw that Quatren was standing still besides Ai, and Trevor. Hera and Junior where in the middle of the group.
“Please! Please, don’t do this Hera… Junior… this is lunacy!” Quatren pleaded as the two started to run towards one another. Hera jumped up in the air as Junior did a sweep kick. She brought her elbow down onto his head. It connected with a loud Crack.
“Good one…” Junior muttered as the two broke apart. They ran towards each other again. She threw a punch at Junior’s head. He dodged easily and grabbed her arm and head-butted her. Blood poured from her mouth and nose. She fell to her hands and knees.
“Hera please…” Quatren pleaded again.
Blood from her nose dripped on the floor. She spat out a mouthful of blood and teeth. “Junior, you retard. Don’t break my teeth…” She hissed as she wiped the blood off her chin.
Heero stared in horror as the two continued to fight. Each returning punches, and complimenting one-another.
“Why are they doing this?” Heero asked Ai, not taking his eyes off the fight.
“They do this when they want to get rid of their problems.” Ai replied. “They’ve done this around 9 times… They fight, and fight and when they are too sore or too injured to fight, they sit on the spot and let the nano suit heal them.” She added, also engulphed in the fight.
“This is stupid… Who put this idea in their head?” He asked wincing as Junior’s face met Hera’s knee.
“You did…” Ai answered blankly looking a bit smug.
“I did…?” Heero frowned…” Why?” He asked.
“Well… during our training years we were all around seven… Hera despised Junior because He was always getting into trouble and Hera was getting the blame. You knew this and finally when it came to weapons training, Hera almost killed us trying to get back at Junior. She set a bomb to go off in his room. She put too much explosives in it. Unfortunately… the person to stumble across that bomb was Quatren and Trevor… luckily the suits were able to save them. Heero … you… realized that if you didn’t do anything to get rid of her rage… she would start to get out of control. So he locked them in the hangar and they just beat the living snot out of each other. After that, they’ve become inseparable. So, whenever they get frustrated they just fist fight. Nothing can stop them and they can’t use anything except for their fists.” She cringed as Junior slammed Hera’s face into the ground. “Or the floor.”
“This is bloody stupid…” Duo growled after listening the story she told. “She’s beating the crap out of him!” Watching Hera slammed her forehead into his face, repeatedly.
“He’s beating the crap out of her!” Heero pointed out. As Junior’s foot slammed into the side of her face.
“You can’t stop them…” Ai explained.
“You wanna bet.” Duo said as he pulled out a gun. He pointed the gun up and fired two rounds.
Hera and Junior didn’t stop. The didn’t even hesitate. She wrapped her legs around his waste and started to squeeze. Junior dropped to the ground and slammed her down. Her death-grip didn’t waver.
CRACK! CRACK!
“Hera… enough… you got my ribs…” Junior gasped.
She looked at his face and stopped. He collapsed on top of her breathing hard. “You okay kitty-chan?” she asked.
“Yeah I’ll be alright…” He croaked trying not to breath hard. “Tigger-chan… I don’t want to fight for a while… okay?”
She carefully sat up holding him in her arms. He winced as she moved him.” Ack… I don’t think dad liked it very much…” He whispered chuckling as he looked at Duo’s face, which was contorted in anger and disgust.
She turned around and looked at him. She chuckled “Yeah I don’t think he likes it at all.”
“Jesus Hera what did you do?” Quatren hissed as she kneeled besides them.
“Broke his ribs…” She said looking smug.
“Why can’t you two be like normal couples?? Instead of a head-butt, why not a hug? instead of a fist, a kiss…” She sat down. She took out a small pill for Junior.
“What’s that?” Quatre asked looking over her shoulder.
“Painkiller… and energy to help the suit repair the damage.” She said as she shoved it in his mouth. “She broke your teeth again didn’t she?” She frowned.
“Yup I guess I did.” She flashed a smile. Her front teeth where missing and her canines where broken in half. She held out her hand for a pill.
Quatren looked at her reluctantly and passed her a pill “I don’t think I should give you that…” She muttered as Hera popped the pill in her mouth.
“You guys are really weird…” Duo muttered as he looked at the pool of blood and fragments of teeth that were at his feet.
“Why thank you father, that’s the nicest comment you’ve given me in a long time.” Junior laughed easily as the nano machines repaired his body.
“Yeah…you two should try it some time… actually don’t you don’t have the nano suits. Yet.” Hera smiled as Junior sat up y himself. He ran his tongue over his teeth that were rebuilding themselves.
“I’m Hungry…” Junior muttered as he looked up at Duo. His suit began to form into a black sleeveless vest and black jeans. He started to rebraid his hair.
“Nice tattoo… what’s it say?” Quatre asked looking down at his arm. There was a scythe and a red rose wrapped together in a red ribbon. On the ribbon was writing.
“Son of Shinigami… Hera made me do it…” He smiled.
Hera laughed as her blood stained suit shifted into a green tank top and a black pair of jeans. “Yeah right just like you made me get this…” She laughed as she stuck out her tongue to show a silver ball sticking out of her tongue and another on the other side.
How’d you get away with that?” Quatre asked. His face showing disgust and fascination.
“Easy. Ai held my tongue to the table… Trevor held the nail in place and Quatre took the hammer… what do you think?” She said sarcastically “I went to the Tattoo parlor on my rare day off without my dad… me and Junior both got tattoos and piercings!” She laughed.
“You’ve got one too.” Quatre muttered looking down at her arm. There was a small picture of chibi characters that looked a lot like Junior, Ai, Quatren, Hera, and Trevor. Each had wings except for Junior who had bat wings and they all were hugging each other and sitting on a big ‘X’.
“Yeah. Cute huh?” She laughed.
“What did Heero think?” Quatre asked giving the Japanese pilot a sidelong glance.
“Oh… it wasn’t him we were worried about… we were worried about what Duo had to say…” Junior chuckled. “ Which reminds me.” He got up and crawled up his Gundam.
“Yeah Duo really did try to rip Junior’s out…” Quatren chipped in.
