Mission: Medallion

Part 4: Presenting...Tro-er, Louis!

by: Mikala Barton


Diclaimers: Actually, before I say anything, I would just like to weep in front of you, because school is coming near! (It is May 24, 1999 as I write this.) School..... Bleah! What an ugly word! I can't believe Webster defined it................... ^^ Anyway, I don't own these characters, they belong to those smarter people, who probably breezed through school. Ugh! That's all I think about these days. It's a miracle I got this typed. SCHOOL *sigh* I gotta write this quickly. I am preparing for the first day of classes......


Louis glanced around him. There was Heero, a quiet, authorative, intimidating guy. He seemed to be the leader. He wasn't that bad looking, but, of course, Louis looked even better. Then there was Duo, he was the only one that Louis heard more that ten sentences from, and he just arrived a few minutes ago. The other two he had been with for a longer time had barely said anything, except to threaten him. A cheery guy. That Duo. He was cute too, and perky with that long hair. And the one that looked like him. The others called him Trowa. They did look a lot alike. Louis frowned a bit, and even though Trowa was thinner, he had stronger muscles, it seemed. Trowa was really quiet, he had barely heard a word from him. But Trowa had a gorgeous voice that seemed to caress the words out of his mouth. The blond one, Quatre. He was the prisoner in the Louroux mansion. He seemed pretty cheerful too, now that he wasn't in bondage. And the thing about him, is that he appears even innocent among these......... And another thing about that boy, he adored Trowa. Louis caught him just staring at Trowa in adoration. He gave an inward smirk, must have made the boy mopey when he thought that Trowa was being mean to him. Then Wufei. He was also a quiet one. Louis doesn't know much about him, except that he seemed to include justice in every sentence.

"..." Louis said, trying to stall for time.

Wufei's eyes narrowed, "In the name of justice, just say it!" Louis gave an inward smirk, again, see what he means?

Heero gave him that look, "Say it or else...."

Louis swallowed, forgetting about stalling for time. After all, what was the use, if he wasn't there anymore when his rescuers arrive? "We called it Mission Medallion."

The five looked at him expectantly, except for Trowa and Heero. Trowa didn't change facial expression, while Heero's glare deepened.

"Well, I'm not sure who assigned us to the mission. I wasn't that interested anyway. Anyway, it was called Mission Medallion, because the products are supposed to be carried around in the seven antique medallions. In case you didn't know, those seven antique medallions are artifacts found on earth some time ago, and it will be going to the colonies, for the people to admire it, I guess. These medallions will contain the bomb and when they reach a colony, our people will just get the bomb, free to destroy the whole colony-"

"NANI??" Duo yelled, his eyes widening at thought of a colony being destroyed just by an innocent little medallion.

"Ssshhh." Heero and Wufei told him.

Quatre turned to Louis, "Please continue."

Louis smiled, thinking that Quatre was the nicest of them all, even though he was a captive there, "Anyway, so all of us were set to work, and we have done it!"

All five pairs of eyes suddenly narrowed at him.

"Ahh." Heero said. "So, tell us when will these medallions be moved from earth to the space colonies?"

Louis's eyes furrowed, "This Thursday." It was Monday.

"Where?"

Louis named a spaceport not far from them.

Wufei frowned, "That doesn't give us much time."

"Yes," Heero nodded, we better start planning, and Quatre, place the prisoner somewhere safe, and make sure that he is very uncomfortable."

Louis scowled at that, "Hey, I gave you the information! The least you can do is make me comfortable."

Heero glanced at him, "Be glad that you still live. Not many live for long, after meeting us all, in circumstances like this."

Louis felt those eyes digging into his skull. "Sure." he muttered.

Quatre led Louis away from the room.

The four watched Quatre do that, and the minute the door closed, Duo asked, "Okay, so what do we do? Our deadline is this Thursday, you know."

Heero nodded thoughtfully, "Yes, but at least the venue is not that far, so I think we should go the undercover way. The fewer the better."

Wufei nodded, "We should send one major person to do the work and the rest will just be back up."

Trowa nodded.

At his movement, the other three turned to him. "Hm, I have an idea." Duo said, grinning from ear to ear.

"..." Trowa said, glancing at him, blankly, as always.

Duo turned to Heero, "I think we should send Trowa in Louis's place so that he will be free to walk around the spaceport with no one being suspicious. We should bring Trowa to the Louroux's tomorrow in the morning, let him tell some lie on where he was, and then he goes with them to celebrate the bye-bye's of the medallion then poof! he gets them then nobody even thinks of the gundam pilots, because they already know who did it."

Heero nodded in agreement. "That's a good idea."

Duo turned starry-eyed, "I'm sooooo glad you approve, Heero." He sashayed over to Heero. "How about we do another good idea I have in my head..?"

Wufei growled in exasperation, "Just do that later. We still have to discuss the plan."

Heero glanced at Wufei, "Trowa just has to approve then the mission is done."

They all turned to Trowa.

Trowa nodded in agreement, "Okay, I will do it." he said.

Duo grinned and dragged Heero to their bedroom to do you-know-what.

Wufei sighed and went to have a cold shower.

Trowa sat down and concentrated on the upcoming mission, with the thoughts of the golden boy still creeping in.


"Off with the clothes. Wufei, help him." Heero ordered, early next morning.

Wufei started stalking towards Louis, whose eyes widened as he realized what they were going to do. Louis frowned, he had a very bad night, sleeping in the broom closet. "I will not let you do that. Why do you even think I would do so, anyway?" he asked.

Wufei scowled, "You don't need to know. Just take off your clothes, or do I have to force you? And besides, you'll still have your boxers on. Or your briefs. Whatever you wear."

"Even then." Louis said, scowling at them, even darker than Wufei's.

Wufei's scowl deepened, "Your opinion does not matter. Those clothes will get off you, no matter how much you resist."

Louis pressed his lips in a thin line. "I am not taking off my clothes, no matter what."

Duo giggled, "Not wanting to show your little body to us, eh? Trust me. No one wants to see it anyway."

Heero tugged his braid, "And it better stay that way. Or else..."

Duo wiggled his eyebrows, "Or else what, Heero-chan?"

Heero gave him the look. "You know what I mean. And don't call me -chan."

Duo looked as if he had an upcoming comeback, but just said, "Whatever you say."

With that accomplished, Heero turned back to Louis, "You are actually given a choice here. You can take off your clothes willingly, and will be unharmed for the time being. Or you will put up a fight and we will be forced to knock you out, then take your clothes. And," he cracked his knuckles, "I will not be gentle with you at all."

Louis still lay there, stubbornly uncooperative. He didn't say a word, but his eyes burned with hatred.

Heero shrugged, "It's your choice." He clenched a fist then

DABOOM!!!

Louis's head fell unconscious. His cheek was already black and blue, and his nose was bleeding.

Heero looked at him critically, "He's out. Wufei, when you take his clothes, make sure that no bloodstains gets to it."

Wufei nodded. He stepped forward and took the clothes carefully.


Trowa set the cup of coffee down.

Quatre beamed, seeing that Trowa had finished it, "Do you want some more? I brewed some just for you." He reached for a pitcher.

Trowa glanced at Quatre, listlessly. When he saw the eagerness to serve in his eyes, he nodded, knowing that he will never be able to deny this boy of anything.

"Great." Quatre poured coffee in the cup, but he didn't pay much attention to it, since he was too immersed in staring in Trowa's emerald eyes. So...... the cup overflowed and coffee was all over the table. Quatre noticed this when Trowa's eyes broke the contact to look for some napkins.

Quatre immediately set the pitcher down and helped Trowa wipe the table. "I'm sorry, Trowa." he said, looking down at Trowa's hand, which was sliding effortlessly on the table. It looked so graceful....

"It's all right." Trowa said, tenderly looking at the blonde boy before him. How can a boy like this be real?

Quatre was unaware of the glance that Trowa gave him, since he was still trying to control the urge to rush to Trowa's arms and.....make the most of the contact.

"Quatre.........." Trowa murmured, noticing the discomfort of the other boy, and so, he raised the other's head with his hand. Blue eyes were looking at him, mournfully. "You shouldn't be sad-"

"Hey, you two!" Duo yelled as he entered the room, but he stopped in his tracks, when he saw the position of the two.

"He he." he said, taking a step backward, "I was going to tell you something, but seeing that I disturbed the two of you, I'll just tell you later."

When Quatre noticed Duo, he was just about to muster enough courage to kiss Trowa, but the mood was broken, so he said, "What are you going to tell us, Duo?"

When Duo turned to them, Trowa put his hand down, much to Quatre's disappointment. "..." Trowa murmured, glancing at the braided boy.

Duo swallowed as Trowa's eyes bore into his. "We-ell, we already got Louis's clothes and Heero wanted Trowa to try it out and then do his Louis act. We still have to know if Trowa make a convincing Louis, you know." He held out the clothes to Trowa's general direction.

Trowa took it, and started undressing in front of the two. Duo immediately backed out of the room, thinking of what Heero will do, when he sees him watching Trowa. Quatre, however, couldn't tear his eyes from Trowa's physique. It made Quatre's heart ache that he couldn't touch this boy at all.

When Trowa was fully dressed already, he walked over to the mirror, to fix it. In the mirror, he glanced at Quatre, who was soulfully staring at him. The way he looked at him made Trowa's heart skip a beat. That look.... It made Trowa's hope stir.

"How do I look?" Trowa, amazingly, finally broke the silence.

Quatre just stared at Trowa's back and managed to say, "Stunning. You look stunning, Trowa. You always do, to me."

Trowa turned to face Quatre, "You really think so?" he asked, in his soft voice.

Quatre just nodded, and was thinking of a reply when the other three walked in.

"Ahh, Trowa you're dressed already." Duo said, stating the obvious.

Trowa just nodded.

Heero walked over to Trowa, examining him critically, "You look the part, but can you act it?"

"..." was the reply.

Wufei walked over to Trowa, "Okay, let's say, Heero and I are the first to see you in the mansion, then we ask where you have been, what will you say?"

Trowa closed his eyes, and pictured the boy in the other room talking. He imagined the manner, the voice, the facial expression. When he opened his eyes, he had already taken in the personality of the boy, "Well, those people tried to drag me off to their hideout. I think they wanted me for ransom or something, but, of course, I fought my way out and here I am!" He also added the proper facial expression, a snobby yet sincere look.

The other four just stared at him.

"Whoa." Duo said, breaking the silence, "You're good. I didn't realize you could act like that."

"..." Trowa mumbled.

Heero cleared his throat, "Anyway, Trowa, just keep acting like the way you did earlier and we'll probably pull this off. Anyway, I'll show you the pictures of the Louroux family. We have some information on them." He paused, "Does anyone have anything to add?" When Duo looked at him slyly, he added, "Anything useful to add?"

Quatre thought about his stay with the Lourouxs and said, "Well, I think Louis has some sort of girlfriend. I don't know her name, but they seemed very close to one another."

Heero nodded briskly at that, "Okay, thanks for that. Trowa, now do you know how to act in a situation like that?"

Trowa nodded, digesting that information in his brain, "What does she look like, Quatre?"

Quatre thought for a moment, "Hmm, well she was very beautiful with long copper hair. And she also has green eyes. And she has a very annoying laugh."

"Okay." Trowa said, thinking this over.

Duo elbowed Trowa, "Saaaaaaay, now you'll even have to flirt with that girl, Trowa! Lucky stiff. She sounds gorgeous, well, except for the laugh part."

Quatre's eyes widened at this. His Trowa will be with a girl?!? No, he ammended, not his Trowa, but still, he felt his heart break...... The thought of Trowa kissing that girl rolled around his mind. It should be me!!! his mind yelled. And what if the girl also shared his bed, he felt himself tighten in jealousy.

"Anyway, tomorrow, we will bring Trowa to the perimeter of the Louroux grounds and he will walk the rest of the way, and, Trowa, don't contact us, you never know. And don't worry, we'll be watching you." Heero said, cutting off Quatre's thoughts.

Trowa nodded and said, "I can do this."

"Wonderful, now take off those clothes and rest. You have a big day tomorrow."

To Be Continued

Yatta! I finally finished part four. Comments, whatevers and more whatevers may be sent to me. Anything is welcome. But I guess I have to go now. I still have to prepare for school. *sigh* why is this happening to me???
