When Prayers Are Answered

Disclaimer: I don't own the Gundam Wing characters used in this story or the high school used in this fic. I do however own Angelique. I don't own heaven either.
Author's notes: This is an AU that's been in my head for awhile. It's a 1+2 (or would that be a 1x2?) with some 4x3. After this Angie kinda disappears so if you like her just tell me and maybe she'll come back or something.
Heero Yuy walked into his new school wondering how long it would take him to make friends. He had been to six schools in the pat four years. His mother always had to move for one reason or another. Weather it was because of her jealous boyfriend, Dr. J. or a cruel landlord it always resulted in more moving. He hoped this would be the last.
He wore a pair of jeans and a green tank top. It had been unseasonably warm this September day. It was almost October. It was supposed to be getting colder but it kept getting warmer. Heero had brought his black leather jacket just incase but the way things were going he wouldn't be using it.
Heero looked around his school and noticed the girl thrown against the wall. She was beautiful. She had long light brown hair, which was tied into two braids. Her large violet eyes showed nothing but pure anger. She wore a pair of black jeans, black boots, and a black hooded sweater. Across her chest was a one strap green backpack that obviously was holding more than it should have. A red head with an English accent and a blonde with large muscles were attacking her.
"Well do we have a deal?" The red head asked smiling evilly.
"I hope when you see Peter he sends you to hell." The girl said quietly. Heero then noticed the silver cross around her neck. "Leave me alone." She tried to walk away but the blonde stopped her.
"You can't say something like that to me and NOT get beat up little girl." The red head was pissed now. "You're not going anywhere."
"Like hell I am." The girl said smugly. "You know who my brother is." She smiled. "He'll have you squashed like a bug before the day is over if you lay a hand on me."
"Well you're big brother isn't here right now is he?" the red head glared at her.
"You don't even want to know what I would do to you." The girl answered coldly.
"Hey stop it." Heero said even though at first he didn't realize it was him who was talking. The three turned to him at once. "Leave her alone."
"And who are you to tell me to stop?" The red head asked turning his attention from the girl to Heero. "You gotta name?"
"Please don't." the girls almost begged.
"My name is Heero Yuy. I'm new here to Madison High." Heero said only giving him as much information as he wanted to give.
"Well you won't last long with stunts like this." The red head told him and then turned back to the girl. "We'll deal with you later." Then the blonde left with the red head not far behind. Heero walked over to the girl.
"Why did you do that?" The girl sighed and leaned on the wall. "I could have taken care of them." She never looked Heero in the eye. "Now they're going to be after YOU too."
"Are you alright? I thought I was doing the right thing." Heero said not really knowing really what to do.
"Yeah I'm fine." She turned to him. "So what ARE you doing here anyway?"
"I just started going here." Heero said sheepishly.
"Whatever." The girl grabbed her strap and left waving at Heero as she did. "See ya around Super Boy." Heero just watched her as she left.
Heero didn't see the girl again until lunch but her didn't care. During his third period science class it must have been a riot. He was sitting near a group of boys that were just a mess to be near. One of them looked surprisingly like the girl he had seen earlier. He even had the three-foot braid. He spent most of the time talking to a short blonde boy with large aqua eyes. The boy happened to sit right behind him.
"So that's when Harry and Greg jumped Angie. Then some new kid stopped them." The one that looked like the girl from before said. "She told me that she was shaking in her little boots." He joked.
"Duo. Please quiet down. Unlike you I'm trying to learn. Though I hope Angelique is okay and that Harry and Greg don't bother her again." The blonde said and turned around.
"You are SO boring Quatre!" the boy called Duo sighed. "It's not like we do anything in this class anyway. All we do is sit and watch movies, which nobody watches. We haven't had a test since the beginning of the year when we had that test on safe sex!" Duo complained.
"That was a very helpful test Duo." Quatre said quietly.
"Like we needed it!" Duo almost yelled then quickly quieted down. "You know more about safe sex than Angie and it's her job!" Quatre hit down in the arm playfully.
"It's NOT her job! It just comes with the territory." Quatre said and then the bell rang.
During lunch was a different story yet surprisingly the same. Heero sat at a table that was near the boy named Duo and the boy named Quatre's. The girl he had helped from before was there as well. Duo and the girl looked like twins with both in black and braids. They were sitting around a bunch of people but they were only talking to each other.
"Yeah whatever Duo." The girl said. "I still don't like this guy trying to saving me. I don't like being saved. That's like Mr. Chang and not liking bubble gum!"
"Now that is true hatred." Duo said jokingly.
"Oh look there he is!" Quatre said almost jumping out of his seat. Then a boy with hair covering his left side of his face walked by. He was wearing a green turtle neck and tight jeans. He walked right by their table. The girl smiled and waved.
"Hi Trowa. How are you?" She said cheerfully.
"Fine." He said, waved at the others looking at him and then left for a table on the other side of the room. They all watched as he left.
"How do you know him?" the blonde Quatre asked the girl.
"He's in my psychology class." The girl smiled. "He's cute I guess. He's really quiet though." The girl took a bit of her sandwich.
"Oh come on Angie, you know Quatre digs the weird and questionable." Duo said and Heero guessed that the girl was Angelique. "He went out with you."
"Look who's talking." She shot back. "Hey is there an assembly today?"
"Yes." Quatre answered. "I think it's on why the police have been walking around school the past few days."
"You know I heard that some kid came to our school with 'high profile' parents." Duo said taking Angelique's sandwich and taking a bit.
"Hey!" She glared at him and pulled another sandwich out of her paper bag. "You just be glad I made more than one!" Then Angelique saw Heero. "Hey Super Boy. Havin' fun?"
"Hn." Was all that Heero said. Duo and Quatre smiled at him.
"HI! I'm Duo Maxwell and this is Quatre Raberba Winner. Who are you and how do you know my sister?" Duo smiled brightly.
"He's the one that 'saved' me." Angelique said coldly.
"Really?" Duo turned to Angelique then quickly back to Heero. "Well come sit with us. Have you properly been introduced to my little sister?"
"No." Heero said and sat in between Duo and Quatre.
"Angelique Maxwell." She shook hands with Heero. "Heero Yuy right?" she asked. He nodded. "Where you from? Japan?" he nodded again. "Quatre's an Arab prince while Duo and I are just plain old Americans." She smiled coldly then went back to her plain façade.
"Cool! I've always wanted to go to Japan!" Duo said his smile getting larger.
"Right. It's not THAT great." Heero said feeling oddly out of place.
"ARE YOU KIDDING?" Duo yelled. "Japan is like the greatest place EVER!" he was about to step onto his little soapbox of life but Quatre stopped him before he could.
"Aren't you in our science class?" Quatre asked smiling.
"Yes. I sit right in front of you." Heero watched as Duo tried to glare Quatre to death and Angelique just sat there and eat her sandwich.
"Knowing you two I'm not surprised that you didn't notice." Angelique said under her breath and got a glare from both Quatre and Duo.
"That's not funny Angie." Duo glared some more at his younger sister.
"It wasn't supposed to be dear brother. He just looks out of place is all and I thought that if we acted like we normally do he'd feel more at ease. Guess not." She smiled again and left the table.
"Don't mind them." Quatre whispered to Heero. "They do that all the time."
"Hn." Was all Heero could say.
Heero watched as Duo talked to some girls at the next table and got this strange feeling. He didn't want to stop looking at the boy but he knew he had too. He felt hands on his shoulders and was about to attack the person touching him when Angelique leaned down so her lips were almost touching his ear. He almost slivered at her cold touch.
"You'd be surprised how much I know about you already. Duo is a prize that no woman can claim. Are you going to try?" She asked in a very sexy voice.
Heero turned his head and looked directly into her eyes. "And what if I am?"
"Then I wish you luck." She stood up. "And trust me you're going to need all you can get." With that she smiled and walked away.
Heero walked into the auditorium to see a mass of kids of all ages. He saw Angelique near the back and joined her. She nodded in his appearance and just watched the mayhem. Heero turned to her and she looked at him. They stayed like that for what seemed like forever.
"So why do you want him anyway? You could have anyone why Duo?" she asked plainly and without much emotion.
"He's different. I like that. Besides that I don't really know." Heero said bluntly.
