Chapter 1 Move Over Boys
****"Hi, I'm Wariko. I have never seen Gundam Wing or any other Gundam, but I wrote this based on other fan fics I read. I know I don't have the things right. Just enjoy the plot. If something bothers you way to much, tell me at highpowerhyperlets@yahoo.com. I know I should be nicer to Quatre, but what fun is that? Besides, Hiro gets it much worse :P (hehehe)"AWM****
A dark woman with long wavy brown hair walked into the boys' room after a small knock. Duo looked up at her from his bed right inside the door.
"Please be looking for me?"
Her smile was small and amused. Her deep brown eyes flitted over his body before she replied, "Not unless you've gotten shorter, aged a few extra years, forgot who I am, and grew your hair extremely fast."
"It could happen." He shrugged with a huge grin.
She rolled her eyes and looked around the room. Then she walked over to the far corner. She stopped and stood there in front of Trowa's bunk bed quietly. He sat on the top bunk eating spaghetti out of a bowl with a fork. "Scre-e-e-ech!!!!!!" He dragged it across the bottom of the bowl. "I didn't let them take you. I deserve at least a talk."
"Scre-e-e-ech!!!!!!" He dragged the fork across the bottom of the bowl again. "If I wanted to talk, I would have come to dinner."
"Damn it Trowa, don't ignore me!"
"Why? Why didn't you let them put me away?" He whispered, peering at her from behind his bangs.
"I didn't want to make it worse for anyone. I don't understand, but I didn't want to make you hate me more...I want to talk in private." She eyed the other boys, who's ears were perked up to listen to them.
He sniffed, "This is a dormer, privacy doesn't exist."
"Oh yea of little imagination." She grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into the bathroom. She turned on the fan and closed the door. "Walla, privacy. Now, why did you try to kill me?"
"I didn't. I thought I was alone and someone broke into the house. I had the knife because I was afraid, then you came around the corner...I never said anything because the person that broke in I thought was a friend. I never meant to hurt you. I'm sorry." He leaned against the wall with a sigh. "I guess I messed up everyone's life but the one that deserved it."
She put her finger to her lips, signaling him to silence. Then she jerked open the door. Duo fell through the doorway. "Get lost brat!" She screamed in his startled face. He got out of her sight quickly. Quatre convulsed in laughter and Hiro and Wu Fei stifled smiles.
She closed the door again and smiled softly at him. "My dad and your mom got back together nearly two years ago, right before I graduated military school and got in the special programs."
"Good, I didn't want her to be unhappy." He took her hand and squeezed it. "I love you. I just wish you weren't doing something so dangerous."
"Which part is dangerous, personal training, piloting, or testing the new weapons?" She asked jokingly.
"All of the above." Trowa replied, "Also being a girl, why are you doing that?"
"Just to bother you."
"It's the testing, I think it's a little more risky then I prefer for you."
"I'm not a little girl anymore. You don't need to worry about me. I'll try to get transferred to something less risky for you though." She patted him on the head. Then giggled as she was swatted away.
They left the bathroom and were greeted with four sets of eyes. "Hello, I'm Mitu Barton. I'm going to be training you boys for a special mission packet series. We will start tomorrow morning at 5:30. Anyone got a problem with that?"
Everyone goggled at her, but remained silent. "Good. Let me get my things. I'm to stay with you for the time being."
Duo fell off his bed. Hiro looked over the edge of the bed above him. "Smooth move Ex Lax."
Mitu shrugged and left.
"Trowa, who is she to you?" Quatre asked once he was done laughing at Duo.
"My step-sister."
"Wow, what a hottie!" Duo remarked with a blissful look.
"Look at her and I'll kill you." Trowa growled angrily. "She's here to train you, keep it in mind."
"Chill Trowa, it was meant to be a compliment, nothing more." He held his pillow like a shield.
Mitu returned with a backpack and an overnight duffel bag. "Which is the extra bunk?" Trowa pointed at the bunk below his. It was
covered with papers and books. Hiro hopped off his bed, walked over and scooped up his work and dumped the pile next to Duo's bed and kicked it under the bed, before returning to his own.
She pulled the sheets off of it and dumped them before pulling a clean set out of her duffle and remade the bed. She pulled a pillow out and tossed it on the bed. She went into the bathroom with her back pack and closed the door. A few minutes later, she came out in very short shorts and a matching blue pokadot belly shirt. She flopped onto her bed and got comfortable. She could feel every eye on her. "What's the matter?"
"Your outfit is revealing." Trowa said. "You should wear more."
"Why? Haven't any of you ever seen a girl before?"
"Yah, but not like you. Your...Mumph!!!" Duo was suddenly eating Trowa's pillow.
"Oh jeez, grow up, all of you!" She pulled her top sheet and pillow off of the bed and left.
"Where's she going in the middle of the night?" Quatre asked.
"She'll sleep out side on the grass." Trowa said as he caught his pillow on its return trip. Then he reached up and turned off the light.
"You're not worried?"
"She's older then me Quatre, she can take care of herself." He paused in the darkness. "You'll find that out tomorrow."
"Good night everyone." Quatre said softly.
"Night guys." Duo chirped.
"Shut up and go to sleep." Hiro demanded.
***
Hiro opened his eyes to the sudden brightness in the room that had awakened him. Mitu stood in the middle of the room, tapping her foot in annoyance. "Wake up!" Four protesting groans came from the bunks. Slowly Trowa, Hiro, Wu Fei, and Quatre got up and tried to change without her seeing them. "What a bunch of loons, shy of their bodies." She murmured as she turned and faced the nearest wall. They all got dressed hurriedly. Then they noticed Duo was still sleeping soundly.
"Duo!" Hiro growled…No response. Quatre shook him, nothing. Wu Fei pinched his nose shut, he opened his mouth to breathe. Trowa pulled his covers off, hoping the cold morning air would wake him…Nada. Finally Hiro waved everyone away. "Time for last resorts." He picked up a pair of scissors and held them close to Duo's ear. "Snip...Snip!" The metal sound rang out in the silence.
Duo bolted out of the bed holding his scalp. "Ahhhhhh!"
"Thank you for joining us Mr. Maxwell." Mitu said sweetly. "Get dressed, you've got five minutes." Six miles and one hour later, they all sat on the ground resting. The boys were all dripping with sweat, Mitu was only a little pink in the face and breathing slightly hard. "Not bad boys, you can go to the showers. I will see you at breakfast." She left them panting like dogs and went inside.
***
They all sat together, eating a hardy breakfast. "Triggs! Oh man am I glad I found you!" A preppy looking blond with a plaid jumper on, came over and hugged Mitu. Then she flopped down in the chair next to her.
"How'd you get here so fast?"
"I can't tell you anything, except Mad G brought me here."
"Well, where is she Sugar?"
"In the pin...That's all I can say."
"Prison?! What did she do? Come on Suragi Tou!" Mitu begged. "Mad G's my friend. I need to know."
The blond shook her head, pressing her lips together. "No, I can't tell you!"
Mitu gave up. Then she remembered that the chair Sugar was sitting in hadn't been empty. She looked at the boy sitting under Sugar, red faced and wide-eyed. "Suragi Tou! Get off of Quatre-sama's lap!"
Sugar blinked at her for a moment, cluelessly, then squirreled around and looked at him. "You don't mind me, do you? Hey, you're cute! I'm Suragi Tou. You gotta last name Quatre?"
"Winner..?"
"Ooooh, way cute name too. Wanna go out?" She had her arms around his neck.
"*_SURAGI TOU-SAMA_*!!! Behave your self! And get out of his lap!" Mitu glared at her. Quatre's lap was vacated reluctantly.
"Someone isn't in a good mood." She said sadly. "And after I had to sleep on the floor in the administrative office last night!" (Sniffle.)
"Yah, yah. I get it, we can share the bed I'm using for the time being." Mitu sighed. "But if you kick me I'll kill you."
"Yes Ma'am, Miss Trigger Happy! I will be still. I promise!" She squealed happily, before skipping off.
"Why do I suddenly feel like I just assigned my own death sentence?" Mitu pushed her breakfast away and dropped her head on the table.
***
They had to lift weights, swim several miles and run another three miles before they were allowed a little R&R before bedtime.
When they got to their room, Mitu had on a green striped outfit like the previous night's and Suragi had on a pink nightie with lace around the hems and matching shorts and socks. Her hair was in two braids.
"Chick, you look like a poodle." Duo told her with a snicker.
"How rude Repunzle! No one asked you." She stuck out her tongue at him.
"No you didn't! You did not just call me..."
"I don't care if she called you Barbie, you treat her with respect or you are in for it Sweet Heart." Mitu cut him off. "Now shut up and go to bed." Duo looked at her hard for a minute before he obeyed. "Good choice. Now Sugs, you can't go picking at him either."
"Night Princess!" She called sourly.
"Sleep tight Feefee!" Duo grinned.
"Knock it off dip wads." Hiro said in his usual manor.
***
"Hiro Yuy, your training is over, report to the mission coordinator for your packet." Mitu caught his elbow on their way out for their morning jog.
He looked at her for a long moment before he turned and left for the office. When he got there, he was led into another room by a guard. This room was a lab. He was instructed to remove his cloths, then the guard left him. Dr J was there. He examined him until he felt quite bothered by it. Finally he was finished making notes on a chart and directed him to shower himself until he was free of chemicals. He was curious as to what they had against deodorant, but did as he was told.
When he got out of the shower, a lab guy injected something into his arm. Then he was sprayed down with something like baby oil. Then a towel was handed to him and he was directed to dry off. He was feeling light headed and in the process of toweling off, he crashed into the floor. Another lab guy picked him up and sat him on a table. "Don't worry, the side effects of the serum will wear off quickly." He was told as a stack of black cloths was put next to him. "Dress when the dizziness passes."
While he tried to keep his head on strait, someone else was brought and sat on the table across from his. A small well-developed girl with deep brown hair and tanned skin sat in front of him. She was covered in half healed wounds. She was still beautiful. Her towel was messily wrapped around her waist, hiding little. He realized that she was staring back at him, and he got embarrassed at himself. He dressed quickly.
She hopped of the table, still nude and approached Dr J. "I'm ready." Her voice was commanding and tough.
"Good." He led her into an isolated clear plastic room. He left her in it and secured the door. She held her breath as a vapor covered her from the floor. Then air was blown from the ceiling. "We are covering her with a poison, highly deadly, death occurs within seconds of contact. You have been treated so that it will not effect you." The room was opened and she came out and dressed in an anti-chamber. Then she came back into the room with Dr J and Hiro. "Garrit Nicks, you are to shield Hiro Yuy from the enemy. Hiro Yuy, you are to retrieve the Lixas files and destroy the Alika base. Then you are to return here. You let her take the shots, if you didn't, your chance for returning was 40% and hers was 10%. With her sacrifice, your chances are nearly 82% for success."
"She's to die for me?" He looked at the small, half dead looking girl with the blank expression on her face. He doubted her making it to the base, much less protecting him.
"Yes. She is better trained then you. She will do her job with precision." He said as she picked up a glass of gelatin and drank it. "That will make her bleed more slowly."
Better then me? Hiro eyed the tiny babe. This I've got to see.
***
They reached the base by a motorcycle. Then hiked up to the gate through the forest. Hiro took aim with his gun, but she pushed it down. "It's my job. Wait until the coast is clear." She left his side and walked up to the guards. Most of her scars were hidden by her little tight black dress. The rest were hidden by make-up and tall black boots. "Hi boys." She said sexually, stopping when they aimed their guns at her. She put her hands on her hips and stood with her legs spread suggestively. "Hey, if you don't want a party, fine with me. Mr. Shirman has already paid me."
Hiro's face was slack and his eyes read shock. What is she doing? He was answered as she ran her hand down the side of one man's face.
The poison! Then she let the other run his hand up under the edge of her skirt. The first slumped over and fell to the ground. The other pulled away from her, feeling the effects beginning. He opened his mouth to sound the alarm, but she covered it with her own as she shoved him into his post. She positioned the bodies to look like bored guards and lifted a key to the gate. She opened it, motioning him to come. He had to snap himself out of the memories of the sensual brutality she had used.
They got through the door and into the main building without any confrontations. She motioned for him to hide as someone came into view. She walked up to him and asked where the leader's room was. He said she can't go there. She made a small pout, fiddling with his shirt buttons, slipping her fingers in the opening she made, caressing his chest. "He ordered me, I'm sure you can understand." She smiled at him with a naughty look on her face. He drought back with a gulp, directing her. "Thanks." She said as he slipped to the floor and she pulled him into the dark corner where Hiro stood. He was awed by her complete turn on of emotions for brief moments, then how she was so unattached the next.
They walked into the office and she killed the three men in the room a few moments after she arrived. She got shot once in the shoulder. While he got the stuff he was sent for and set up the bomb, she took a roll of duct tape and slapped a piece over her shoulder.
She led him back down the hall. Someone shot her three times in the middle and once in the leg, before she found them in the shadows and broke his neck.
She continued down the hall. They must have found the bodies, because two rounds were in her before they got to the main hall. She could hardly stand. He felt like leaving her wouldn't be right, she was fighting so hard to live. The last hall had eight men in it. He felt his hope drain out. "Pick up your gun and shoot when the first man drops." She whispered. She grabbed the front of her dress and ripped it. Then she started to run into the middle of the men, screaming. "Help me! Please help!" Two of the men caught her in surprise.
"It's a trap!" Another bellowed and he shot her. She went limp.
Another reached over and felt for a pulse. Suddenly he had the heel of her boot through his throat. The two that had touched her fell to the floor, dead. Shots rang out and two went down. She broke one's neck as Hiro shot the last.
The two started to run, but she fell before they reached the gate. "Hiro, you're being a fool!" He told himself harshly as he went back and scooped her up. They were down the hill and on the bike when the base blew up. Hiro put the trigger away and adjusted her in his arms as he started back to base. They got sick from the poison, and were kept in the lab for a week. He learned that Garrit Nicks was 17 years old and that serving in three suicide missions was her punishment for disobeying orders. When and if she completed all of them, her record would be cleared and she would go back to regular fighting. His mission was the second for her. When he was released, he was weak and sore. He almost cried for her when he learned she had been sent that morning to do something with 0.000,000,009% chance of completion. They had lost twenty men on the mission so far.
He had liked her. He would miss her.
***
Quatre started to change his cloths. He pulled off his shoes, socks, shirt, and pants before someone came racing in the door and plowed into him, sending both of them over his bed and onto the floor behind it.
They landed on top of his crotch and he made a pathetic sound, trying to push the assailant off. He looked up and found Sugar straddling him. "Get off!" He squeaked loudly, voice pitched with pain. She stood up and looked at him apologetically as he grabbed himself and rolled onto his side, tears streaming down his face.
"I'm sorry! Quatre, I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" She knelt down next to him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"No!" He wailed. It hurt him so badly!
"Let me see."
"Heck no!"
"It's ok, I'm a doctor. There's no reason to be embarrassed." She informed him. She tried to pull his hands away.
"No! I'm ok!" He shook his head wildly. The pain had stopped pounding and had dulled to a soft throb. He was cherry red with embarrassment. "No, leave me alone!" He shook her hand off of his shoulder.
"What are you guys doing?" Duo appeared curiously wondering what Quatre was shrieking about. Quatre looked up at him, rubbing his tear-filled eyes. He just shook his head. "Ok, you're crying for no reason. That makes sense."
"Sorry." Sugar said one last time before she got what she had come into the room for and left, skipping merrily.
He refused to talk to Duo so he finally left.
He wasn't very nice to anyone the rest of the day. At dinner, he sat alone. Sugar tried to sit beside him, but he left her. She got up and went away in dejection.
Quatre ended up next to Mitu. She looked at him for a long time before she spoke. "She already feels like crud, you being mean to her isn't doing anyone a favor."
"I don't want to talk to you, leave me alone." He glared at her.
"What did Sugar do to tick you off so much?" Duo flopped down across from them.
"Leamealone!" He snarled.
"She kneed him on an accident." Mitu told him with a spiteful glance in Quatre's direction. "Now he's being a complete jerk."
Quatre kicked her chair out from under her and picked up his things and left, face in flames. "See?" She sat her chair upright and dusted off her rear.
Sugar screamed, "Let me go!" Then she tried to twist free of one of the older teams' boy's grip. The two struggling soldiers plowed into an un-expecting Quatre, who ended up on the ground, tearfully clutching himself. "No!" Sugar watched Quatre go down and burst into tears. He'd never speak to her again.
"Get your filthy hands off of her!" Mitu demanded. The guy laughed at her 4'10" frame as he gripped Sugar more tightly. "Wamm!" She hauled off and sent him over a table filled with food, into an on coming administrator. Sugar sat on the floor holding her bruised wrists and crying like the world had ended. "You ok kiddo?" Mitu helped her up. Quatre was very still, he was curled up on his side. Mitu took a look at him. "He passed out. Wonder if it was from pain or embarrassment?"
"Don't say that!" Sugar sniffled.
"What happened here?!?" A security official demanded. She had the guy that had started it in cuffs. The mashed potato smudge on her faces announced that he was already toast.
"That guy was hurting me and they tried to help me. He hurt Quatre! But Mitu fought him off." Sugar told the story. "Poor Quatre!" She began to sob again.
Quatre was taken away to the hospital. Duo remarked that he was going to have a cow when he woke up there because of his nuts.
***
The mission had been a month ago. Hiro was still behaving strangely. He was never argumentative, hard on them, or even into anything. Even Wu Fei noticed. Quatre's grudge had finally ended the week before and he and Sugar were an item, blushing at a glance from the other and being giggle.
They were walking down the hall when they noticed that they had lost Hiro. They decided to leave him alone. He went to his room and closed the door. They were two in each room now and Duo wouldn't be there for hours. He had time to be alone. He pulled off his cloths and tossed them over the back of a chair before he fell into bed.
"Hiro Yuy." He started slightly as his head jerked up to find Garrit standing at the bottom of his bed. "How did I get back to base that day?"
He felt his chest tighten in guilt as he lied to her. "You made it to the motorcycle and I drove us back."
"You carried me, didn't you?" She walked over and sat next to him. She looked into his eyes. They were unreadable.
"…Yes… I couldn't leave you. I was weak." He frowned.
"Thank you for my life." She lifted his face and looked into his eyes again. "I followed my heart and it got me in that mess, you following yours got me out of it."
He looked at her for a long moment before he kissed her. She returned the kiss and he pulled her into the bed with him. He took her cloths off slowly, expecting rejection at any moment. He stopped and plaid with the waist band on her panties nervously. "I...I've never done this before." He gazed down at her navel, avoiding her eyes.
She giggled, "Good. That will make it more interesting."
***
Duo came into their room and found Hiro sprawled on his stomach, sleeping soundly. Duo pulled off his cloths and put them on the floor next to his bed, pulled on PJs and got in it. Hiro sat up and looked around in confusion. "Is something wrong Hiro?"
He looked kind of embarrassed, "No."
Duo shrugged, he never would admit to having a problem. He fell asleep.
He had dreamed of being with Garrit, she was probably dead for real. He shook his head, what had she done to him?
***
It had been two days since Hiro's dream and since that night he had gotten less involved in life. He had walked in on Duo and Mitu making out and had been even worse that day. He wasn't mean or unpleasant. He just was.
He was walking down the hall with no destination in mind when someone came by him doing about 60mph. There had been a crash behind him as the kid passed. He turned to find Garrit in the floor. She was fighting with a crutch and a large backpack. Her long beautiful hair was gone, her scalp shaved clean except for a high pony tail braid that hung down to her shoulders. A butterfly tattoo was on the left front of her scalp. She was bruised most everywhere, and cuts and stitches were abundant. One of her legs was completely bandaged and she was completely soaked with water.
Hiro helped her up and tried to carry the bag for her. "I do not need your help Mr. Yuy." She said coldly and snatched it away, using her crutch to get away from him quickly.
He had blood on his shirt and was very soggy by now. Sugar and Mitu came out of a room and saw her, "Mad G! Oh my gosh, I thought I'd never see you again!" Sugar hugged her gingerly before snatching the bag away.
"Mad G cheats death again, film at eleven." Mitu remarked as she caught Garrit up under her free arm and helped her walk. "You walked over from Med. 1 didn't you?"
"So what?"
"So, it's raining and you're hurt. You should still be in the hospital!" Mitu chided.
"I'm free, I can die now."
"No one can die without my permission! Now where are you staying?" Sugar demanded.
Hiro felt happy, she had made it, and she wasn't alone. He wandered off, feeling some satisfaction in knowing her end.
***
The boys sat in the cafeteria eating and talking about the girls. "I wonder where they went?" Duo tossed his napkin onto his plate.
"Yah, they just disappeared." Quatre nodded.
"Hi baby, did you miss me?" Mitu kissed Duo's neck from behind. He looked pretty shocked, but recovered quickly.
Sugar smiled shyly at Quatre, they both looked away quickly blushing slightly. Mad G stood idly by. Trowa was glaring at Duo so hard it hurt the boy, knowing that he had gone after his sister. Hiro tried a little too hard to ignore them.
***
Duo smiled, "They invited us to a party. I'm going."
"No you're not." Hiro glared at him. "We've got to train for our next mission."
"I am and you can't stop me! Just because your tight wad butt can't stand fun doesn't mean that I can live with out it!" Duo stuck his tongue out, hands on his hips.
"Duo is right, we need to have a little fun occasionally." Quatre said softly.
"No one asked you! No one is going, hear me?!?" Hiro yelled, the veins in his neck bulging. "Wu Fei, tell them how bad this idea is."
Wu Fei looked up from his journal, with a strange look on his face. "What's wrong with the party?" He looked so...innocent.
Everyone's jaws made an audible clunk as they hit the floor. "Calendar, I must write this on a calendar. Wu Fei wasn't a tight wad for a moment!" Duo squealed and grabbed for his daily planner.
Trowa shrugged, "I was considering going myself."
Hiro through his hands up in defeat, "Fine, go get smashed, caught, and reprimanded."
"You do know that a certain girl that you like is going to be there." Duo smiled smugly as Hiro's face changed from annoyance to smittenness, before collapsing into its normal blank state.
"And I suppose you think you'll get Trowa's sister in the sack." He replied emotionlessly, enjoying the reaction of embarrassment on Duo's part and anger from Trowa. "I guess I'll have to go and make sure you all behave yourselves."
Quatre looked like he had been betrayed as Trowa held out his hand. "Pay up, you owe me ten for loosing the bet. Told you Hiro would give into it."
"You were taking bets?!" Hiro gasped, looking totally offended.
"Hey, it was a fifty-fifty chance, you have been so strange lately. Almost like playing the lottery." Duo chuckled.
***
They walked into the room and stopped short. Loud music, cigarettes, beer, and twisting bodies. Sugar bounced up and grabbed Quatre, "Come on!" They disappeared into the chaos.
Duo spotted Mitu, leaving the guys, to dance with her.
Wu Fei looked aggravated, "Why did we come?"
"Hello boys." Garrit came up with two other girls in tow. She introduced them to Zola- a Hindu sixteen year old- and Marala- a 14 year old blond with blue eyes-. Then she and Hiro left them with the girls, surprising everyone.
The four of them stood in uncomfortable silence for an hour and a half before Hiro reappeared. He just looked at them like they were dopes. Then Garrit and he left the party muttering about Dr G's timing (or lack there of).
Zola frowned at the door when it closed. "What would Dr G want with them at this hour? And both of them?" She looked at Marala who shrugged in reply.
"I think they shared a mission a while back. Maybe they have another one. Or there could be some problem with the last one." She suggested.
"We are talking about Mad G, not Sugar. Mad G doesn't make mistakes. She also wouldn't be paired with just any guy twice. Partners slow her down, she wouldn't allow it." Zola replied Icily, living up to her nickname.
"Hiro isn't just any guy. He wouldn't be the one doing the slowing down. It is highly unlikely that he would have a woman for a partner." Wu Fei told her.
"Oh, I forgot, boys have the muscles and therefore rule. My mistake!" Zola looked highly annoyed.
"Icey, don't hurt him...to much. You know how it annoyed Mitu when she had to clean up after you last time." Marala warned her.
Trowa laughed at her, "What could she possibly do to Wu Fei? He is the one with the black belt."
"In what? Being a prig?" Marala slapped her hands on her hips. The next moment the four of them were having it out on the ground. Duo and Mitu tried to stop them, but it wasn't working to well.
The others at the party started rooting for people and making it a real event. Sugar made everyone get out of the way, then she and Quatre helped Duo and Mitu to pull them apart. Everyone went home and left the two teams to talk it out. The four of the instigators sat and yelled at each other, while the four more peaceful ones tried to reason it out.
Garrit and Hiro came into this chaos about an hour later. "Wow, what party animals." Garrit stepped over empty beer cans and party streamers. "What are you doing?" She asked the teens that sat on opposite sides of the room threatening each other.
They all began talking at once. She listened for a while. "Stop!" She held up a hand and the girls all silenced themselves. Wu Fei and Trowa still kept complaining. "Shut up." She said evilly and they obeyed the tone in her voice-demanded obedience. Then she shook her head. "The entire thing was over superiority? We are equals. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Drop it and get on with your lives. Clean up and go home. I'll make sure you will regret it if you start this childish behavior again. Good night." She bowed and left them looking like scolded children.
Hiro followed her out quietly, looking a bit dazed, like he had gotten some news that wasn't sinking in. He followed her into her office and flopped down on the sofa with a loud sigh. "I can't believe this."
"Well, you have to believe it or it isn't going to be much fun." She opened the door to an adjoining bedroom. "Are you going to sit there all night or are you coming?"
"Um. Coming." He picked himself up and followed her into the foreign room. His things were already in it and mingled with hers. It struck him funny that he got what he had wanted and it scared him to death.
****"I didn't expect this to happen. Let's find out what more I can think up!" Azusa Wariko Maxwell****
****"Hi, I'm Wariko. I have never seen Gundam Wing or any other Gundam, but I wrote this based on other fan fics I read. I know I don't have the things right. Just enjoy the plot. If something bothers you way to much, tell me at highpowerhyperlets@yahoo.com. I know I should be nicer to Quatre, but what fun is that? Besides, Hiro gets it much worse :P (hehehe)"AWM****
A dark woman with long wavy brown hair walked into the boys' room after a small knock. Duo looked up at her from his bed right inside the door.
"Please be looking for me?"
Her smile was small and amused. Her deep brown eyes flitted over his body before she replied, "Not unless you've gotten shorter, aged a few extra years, forgot who I am, and grew your hair extremely fast."
"It could happen." He shrugged with a huge grin.
She rolled her eyes and looked around the room. Then she walked over to the far corner. She stopped and stood there in front of Trowa's bunk bed quietly. He sat on the top bunk eating spaghetti out of a bowl with a fork. "Scre-e-e-ech!!!!!!" He dragged it across the bottom of the bowl. "I didn't let them take you. I deserve at least a talk."
"Scre-e-e-ech!!!!!!" He dragged the fork across the bottom of the bowl again. "If I wanted to talk, I would have come to dinner."
"Damn it Trowa, don't ignore me!"
"Why? Why didn't you let them put me away?" He whispered, peering at her from behind his bangs.
"I didn't want to make it worse for anyone. I don't understand, but I didn't want to make you hate me more...I want to talk in private." She eyed the other boys, who's ears were perked up to listen to them.
He sniffed, "This is a dormer, privacy doesn't exist."
"Oh yea of little imagination." She grabbed him by the arm and pulled him into the bathroom. She turned on the fan and closed the door. "Walla, privacy. Now, why did you try to kill me?"
"I didn't. I thought I was alone and someone broke into the house. I had the knife because I was afraid, then you came around the corner...I never said anything because the person that broke in I thought was a friend. I never meant to hurt you. I'm sorry." He leaned against the wall with a sigh. "I guess I messed up everyone's life but the one that deserved it."
She put her finger to her lips, signaling him to silence. Then she jerked open the door. Duo fell through the doorway. "Get lost brat!" She screamed in his startled face. He got out of her sight quickly. Quatre convulsed in laughter and Hiro and Wu Fei stifled smiles.
She closed the door again and smiled softly at him. "My dad and your mom got back together nearly two years ago, right before I graduated military school and got in the special programs."
"Good, I didn't want her to be unhappy." He took her hand and squeezed it. "I love you. I just wish you weren't doing something so dangerous."
"Which part is dangerous, personal training, piloting, or testing the new weapons?" She asked jokingly.
"All of the above." Trowa replied, "Also being a girl, why are you doing that?"
"Just to bother you."
"It's the testing, I think it's a little more risky then I prefer for you."
"I'm not a little girl anymore. You don't need to worry about me. I'll try to get transferred to something less risky for you though." She patted him on the head. Then giggled as she was swatted away.
They left the bathroom and were greeted with four sets of eyes. "Hello, I'm Mitu Barton. I'm going to be training you boys for a special mission packet series. We will start tomorrow morning at 5:30. Anyone got a problem with that?"
Everyone goggled at her, but remained silent. "Good. Let me get my things. I'm to stay with you for the time being."
Duo fell off his bed. Hiro looked over the edge of the bed above him. "Smooth move Ex Lax."
Mitu shrugged and left.
"Trowa, who is she to you?" Quatre asked once he was done laughing at Duo.
"My step-sister."
"Wow, what a hottie!" Duo remarked with a blissful look.
"Look at her and I'll kill you." Trowa growled angrily. "She's here to train you, keep it in mind."
"Chill Trowa, it was meant to be a compliment, nothing more." He held his pillow like a shield.
Mitu returned with a backpack and an overnight duffel bag. "Which is the extra bunk?" Trowa pointed at the bunk below his. It was
covered with papers and books. Hiro hopped off his bed, walked over and scooped up his work and dumped the pile next to Duo's bed and kicked it under the bed, before returning to his own.
She pulled the sheets off of it and dumped them before pulling a clean set out of her duffle and remade the bed. She pulled a pillow out and tossed it on the bed. She went into the bathroom with her back pack and closed the door. A few minutes later, she came out in very short shorts and a matching blue pokadot belly shirt. She flopped onto her bed and got comfortable. She could feel every eye on her. "What's the matter?"
"Your outfit is revealing." Trowa said. "You should wear more."
"Why? Haven't any of you ever seen a girl before?"
"Yah, but not like you. Your...Mumph!!!" Duo was suddenly eating Trowa's pillow.
"Oh jeez, grow up, all of you!" She pulled her top sheet and pillow off of the bed and left.
"Where's she going in the middle of the night?" Quatre asked.
"She'll sleep out side on the grass." Trowa said as he caught his pillow on its return trip. Then he reached up and turned off the light.
"You're not worried?"
"She's older then me Quatre, she can take care of herself." He paused in the darkness. "You'll find that out tomorrow."
"Good night everyone." Quatre said softly.
"Night guys." Duo chirped.
"Shut up and go to sleep." Hiro demanded.
***
Hiro opened his eyes to the sudden brightness in the room that had awakened him. Mitu stood in the middle of the room, tapping her foot in annoyance. "Wake up!" Four protesting groans came from the bunks. Slowly Trowa, Hiro, Wu Fei, and Quatre got up and tried to change without her seeing them. "What a bunch of loons, shy of their bodies." She murmured as she turned and faced the nearest wall. They all got dressed hurriedly. Then they noticed Duo was still sleeping soundly.
"Duo!" Hiro growled…No response. Quatre shook him, nothing. Wu Fei pinched his nose shut, he opened his mouth to breathe. Trowa pulled his covers off, hoping the cold morning air would wake him…Nada. Finally Hiro waved everyone away. "Time for last resorts." He picked up a pair of scissors and held them close to Duo's ear. "Snip...Snip!" The metal sound rang out in the silence.
Duo bolted out of the bed holding his scalp. "Ahhhhhh!"
"Thank you for joining us Mr. Maxwell." Mitu said sweetly. "Get dressed, you've got five minutes." Six miles and one hour later, they all sat on the ground resting. The boys were all dripping with sweat, Mitu was only a little pink in the face and breathing slightly hard. "Not bad boys, you can go to the showers. I will see you at breakfast." She left them panting like dogs and went inside.
***
They all sat together, eating a hardy breakfast. "Triggs! Oh man am I glad I found you!" A preppy looking blond with a plaid jumper on, came over and hugged Mitu. Then she flopped down in the chair next to her.
"How'd you get here so fast?"
"I can't tell you anything, except Mad G brought me here."
"Well, where is she Sugar?"
"In the pin...That's all I can say."
"Prison?! What did she do? Come on Suragi Tou!" Mitu begged. "Mad G's my friend. I need to know."
The blond shook her head, pressing her lips together. "No, I can't tell you!"
Mitu gave up. Then she remembered that the chair Sugar was sitting in hadn't been empty. She looked at the boy sitting under Sugar, red faced and wide-eyed. "Suragi Tou! Get off of Quatre-sama's lap!"
Sugar blinked at her for a moment, cluelessly, then squirreled around and looked at him. "You don't mind me, do you? Hey, you're cute! I'm Suragi Tou. You gotta last name Quatre?"
"Winner..?"
"Ooooh, way cute name too. Wanna go out?" She had her arms around his neck.
"*_SURAGI TOU-SAMA_*!!! Behave your self! And get out of his lap!" Mitu glared at her. Quatre's lap was vacated reluctantly.
"Someone isn't in a good mood." She said sadly. "And after I had to sleep on the floor in the administrative office last night!" (Sniffle.)
"Yah, yah. I get it, we can share the bed I'm using for the time being." Mitu sighed. "But if you kick me I'll kill you."
"Yes Ma'am, Miss Trigger Happy! I will be still. I promise!" She squealed happily, before skipping off.
"Why do I suddenly feel like I just assigned my own death sentence?" Mitu pushed her breakfast away and dropped her head on the table.
***
They had to lift weights, swim several miles and run another three miles before they were allowed a little R&R before bedtime.
When they got to their room, Mitu had on a green striped outfit like the previous night's and Suragi had on a pink nightie with lace around the hems and matching shorts and socks. Her hair was in two braids.
"Chick, you look like a poodle." Duo told her with a snicker.
"How rude Repunzle! No one asked you." She stuck out her tongue at him.
"No you didn't! You did not just call me..."
"I don't care if she called you Barbie, you treat her with respect or you are in for it Sweet Heart." Mitu cut him off. "Now shut up and go to bed." Duo looked at her hard for a minute before he obeyed. "Good choice. Now Sugs, you can't go picking at him either."
"Night Princess!" She called sourly.
"Sleep tight Feefee!" Duo grinned.
"Knock it off dip wads." Hiro said in his usual manor.
***
"Hiro Yuy, your training is over, report to the mission coordinator for your packet." Mitu caught his elbow on their way out for their morning jog.
He looked at her for a long moment before he turned and left for the office. When he got there, he was led into another room by a guard. This room was a lab. He was instructed to remove his cloths, then the guard left him. Dr J was there. He examined him until he felt quite bothered by it. Finally he was finished making notes on a chart and directed him to shower himself until he was free of chemicals. He was curious as to what they had against deodorant, but did as he was told.
When he got out of the shower, a lab guy injected something into his arm. Then he was sprayed down with something like baby oil. Then a towel was handed to him and he was directed to dry off. He was feeling light headed and in the process of toweling off, he crashed into the floor. Another lab guy picked him up and sat him on a table. "Don't worry, the side effects of the serum will wear off quickly." He was told as a stack of black cloths was put next to him. "Dress when the dizziness passes."
While he tried to keep his head on strait, someone else was brought and sat on the table across from his. A small well-developed girl with deep brown hair and tanned skin sat in front of him. She was covered in half healed wounds. She was still beautiful. Her towel was messily wrapped around her waist, hiding little. He realized that she was staring back at him, and he got embarrassed at himself. He dressed quickly.
She hopped of the table, still nude and approached Dr J. "I'm ready." Her voice was commanding and tough.
"Good." He led her into an isolated clear plastic room. He left her in it and secured the door. She held her breath as a vapor covered her from the floor. Then air was blown from the ceiling. "We are covering her with a poison, highly deadly, death occurs within seconds of contact. You have been treated so that it will not effect you." The room was opened and she came out and dressed in an anti-chamber. Then she came back into the room with Dr J and Hiro. "Garrit Nicks, you are to shield Hiro Yuy from the enemy. Hiro Yuy, you are to retrieve the Lixas files and destroy the Alika base. Then you are to return here. You let her take the shots, if you didn't, your chance for returning was 40% and hers was 10%. With her sacrifice, your chances are nearly 82% for success."
"She's to die for me?" He looked at the small, half dead looking girl with the blank expression on her face. He doubted her making it to the base, much less protecting him.
"Yes. She is better trained then you. She will do her job with precision." He said as she picked up a glass of gelatin and drank it. "That will make her bleed more slowly."
Better then me? Hiro eyed the tiny babe. This I've got to see.
***
They reached the base by a motorcycle. Then hiked up to the gate through the forest. Hiro took aim with his gun, but she pushed it down. "It's my job. Wait until the coast is clear." She left his side and walked up to the guards. Most of her scars were hidden by her little tight black dress. The rest were hidden by make-up and tall black boots. "Hi boys." She said sexually, stopping when they aimed their guns at her. She put her hands on her hips and stood with her legs spread suggestively. "Hey, if you don't want a party, fine with me. Mr. Shirman has already paid me."
Hiro's face was slack and his eyes read shock. What is she doing? He was answered as she ran her hand down the side of one man's face.
The poison! Then she let the other run his hand up under the edge of her skirt. The first slumped over and fell to the ground. The other pulled away from her, feeling the effects beginning. He opened his mouth to sound the alarm, but she covered it with her own as she shoved him into his post. She positioned the bodies to look like bored guards and lifted a key to the gate. She opened it, motioning him to come. He had to snap himself out of the memories of the sensual brutality she had used.
They got through the door and into the main building without any confrontations. She motioned for him to hide as someone came into view. She walked up to him and asked where the leader's room was. He said she can't go there. She made a small pout, fiddling with his shirt buttons, slipping her fingers in the opening she made, caressing his chest. "He ordered me, I'm sure you can understand." She smiled at him with a naughty look on her face. He drought back with a gulp, directing her. "Thanks." She said as he slipped to the floor and she pulled him into the dark corner where Hiro stood. He was awed by her complete turn on of emotions for brief moments, then how she was so unattached the next.
They walked into the office and she killed the three men in the room a few moments after she arrived. She got shot once in the shoulder. While he got the stuff he was sent for and set up the bomb, she took a roll of duct tape and slapped a piece over her shoulder.
She led him back down the hall. Someone shot her three times in the middle and once in the leg, before she found them in the shadows and broke his neck.
She continued down the hall. They must have found the bodies, because two rounds were in her before they got to the main hall. She could hardly stand. He felt like leaving her wouldn't be right, she was fighting so hard to live. The last hall had eight men in it. He felt his hope drain out. "Pick up your gun and shoot when the first man drops." She whispered. She grabbed the front of her dress and ripped it. Then she started to run into the middle of the men, screaming. "Help me! Please help!" Two of the men caught her in surprise.
"It's a trap!" Another bellowed and he shot her. She went limp.
Another reached over and felt for a pulse. Suddenly he had the heel of her boot through his throat. The two that had touched her fell to the floor, dead. Shots rang out and two went down. She broke one's neck as Hiro shot the last.
The two started to run, but she fell before they reached the gate. "Hiro, you're being a fool!" He told himself harshly as he went back and scooped her up. They were down the hill and on the bike when the base blew up. Hiro put the trigger away and adjusted her in his arms as he started back to base. They got sick from the poison, and were kept in the lab for a week. He learned that Garrit Nicks was 17 years old and that serving in three suicide missions was her punishment for disobeying orders. When and if she completed all of them, her record would be cleared and she would go back to regular fighting. His mission was the second for her. When he was released, he was weak and sore. He almost cried for her when he learned she had been sent that morning to do something with 0.000,000,009% chance of completion. They had lost twenty men on the mission so far.
He had liked her. He would miss her.
***
Quatre started to change his cloths. He pulled off his shoes, socks, shirt, and pants before someone came racing in the door and plowed into him, sending both of them over his bed and onto the floor behind it.
They landed on top of his crotch and he made a pathetic sound, trying to push the assailant off. He looked up and found Sugar straddling him. "Get off!" He squeaked loudly, voice pitched with pain. She stood up and looked at him apologetically as he grabbed himself and rolled onto his side, tears streaming down his face.
"I'm sorry! Quatre, I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" She knelt down next to him and put a hand on his shoulder.
"No!" He wailed. It hurt him so badly!
"Let me see."
"Heck no!"
"It's ok, I'm a doctor. There's no reason to be embarrassed." She informed him. She tried to pull his hands away.
"No! I'm ok!" He shook his head wildly. The pain had stopped pounding and had dulled to a soft throb. He was cherry red with embarrassment. "No, leave me alone!" He shook her hand off of his shoulder.
"What are you guys doing?" Duo appeared curiously wondering what Quatre was shrieking about. Quatre looked up at him, rubbing his tear-filled eyes. He just shook his head. "Ok, you're crying for no reason. That makes sense."
"Sorry." Sugar said one last time before she got what she had come into the room for and left, skipping merrily.
He refused to talk to Duo so he finally left.
He wasn't very nice to anyone the rest of the day. At dinner, he sat alone. Sugar tried to sit beside him, but he left her. She got up and went away in dejection.
Quatre ended up next to Mitu. She looked at him for a long time before she spoke. "She already feels like crud, you being mean to her isn't doing anyone a favor."
"I don't want to talk to you, leave me alone." He glared at her.
"What did Sugar do to tick you off so much?" Duo flopped down across from them.
"Leamealone!" He snarled.
"She kneed him on an accident." Mitu told him with a spiteful glance in Quatre's direction. "Now he's being a complete jerk."
Quatre kicked her chair out from under her and picked up his things and left, face in flames. "See?" She sat her chair upright and dusted off her rear.
Sugar screamed, "Let me go!" Then she tried to twist free of one of the older teams' boy's grip. The two struggling soldiers plowed into an un-expecting Quatre, who ended up on the ground, tearfully clutching himself. "No!" Sugar watched Quatre go down and burst into tears. He'd never speak to her again.
"Get your filthy hands off of her!" Mitu demanded. The guy laughed at her 4'10" frame as he gripped Sugar more tightly. "Wamm!" She hauled off and sent him over a table filled with food, into an on coming administrator. Sugar sat on the floor holding her bruised wrists and crying like the world had ended. "You ok kiddo?" Mitu helped her up. Quatre was very still, he was curled up on his side. Mitu took a look at him. "He passed out. Wonder if it was from pain or embarrassment?"
"Don't say that!" Sugar sniffled.
"What happened here?!?" A security official demanded. She had the guy that had started it in cuffs. The mashed potato smudge on her faces announced that he was already toast.
"That guy was hurting me and they tried to help me. He hurt Quatre! But Mitu fought him off." Sugar told the story. "Poor Quatre!" She began to sob again.
Quatre was taken away to the hospital. Duo remarked that he was going to have a cow when he woke up there because of his nuts.
***
The mission had been a month ago. Hiro was still behaving strangely. He was never argumentative, hard on them, or even into anything. Even Wu Fei noticed. Quatre's grudge had finally ended the week before and he and Sugar were an item, blushing at a glance from the other and being giggle.
They were walking down the hall when they noticed that they had lost Hiro. They decided to leave him alone. He went to his room and closed the door. They were two in each room now and Duo wouldn't be there for hours. He had time to be alone. He pulled off his cloths and tossed them over the back of a chair before he fell into bed.
"Hiro Yuy." He started slightly as his head jerked up to find Garrit standing at the bottom of his bed. "How did I get back to base that day?"
He felt his chest tighten in guilt as he lied to her. "You made it to the motorcycle and I drove us back."
"You carried me, didn't you?" She walked over and sat next to him. She looked into his eyes. They were unreadable.
"…Yes… I couldn't leave you. I was weak." He frowned.
"Thank you for my life." She lifted his face and looked into his eyes again. "I followed my heart and it got me in that mess, you following yours got me out of it."
He looked at her for a long moment before he kissed her. She returned the kiss and he pulled her into the bed with him. He took her cloths off slowly, expecting rejection at any moment. He stopped and plaid with the waist band on her panties nervously. "I...I've never done this before." He gazed down at her navel, avoiding her eyes.
She giggled, "Good. That will make it more interesting."
***
Duo came into their room and found Hiro sprawled on his stomach, sleeping soundly. Duo pulled off his cloths and put them on the floor next to his bed, pulled on PJs and got in it. Hiro sat up and looked around in confusion. "Is something wrong Hiro?"
He looked kind of embarrassed, "No."
Duo shrugged, he never would admit to having a problem. He fell asleep.
He had dreamed of being with Garrit, she was probably dead for real. He shook his head, what had she done to him?
***
It had been two days since Hiro's dream and since that night he had gotten less involved in life. He had walked in on Duo and Mitu making out and had been even worse that day. He wasn't mean or unpleasant. He just was.
He was walking down the hall with no destination in mind when someone came by him doing about 60mph. There had been a crash behind him as the kid passed. He turned to find Garrit in the floor. She was fighting with a crutch and a large backpack. Her long beautiful hair was gone, her scalp shaved clean except for a high pony tail braid that hung down to her shoulders. A butterfly tattoo was on the left front of her scalp. She was bruised most everywhere, and cuts and stitches were abundant. One of her legs was completely bandaged and she was completely soaked with water.
Hiro helped her up and tried to carry the bag for her. "I do not need your help Mr. Yuy." She said coldly and snatched it away, using her crutch to get away from him quickly.
He had blood on his shirt and was very soggy by now. Sugar and Mitu came out of a room and saw her, "Mad G! Oh my gosh, I thought I'd never see you again!" Sugar hugged her gingerly before snatching the bag away.
"Mad G cheats death again, film at eleven." Mitu remarked as she caught Garrit up under her free arm and helped her walk. "You walked over from Med. 1 didn't you?"
"So what?"
"So, it's raining and you're hurt. You should still be in the hospital!" Mitu chided.
"I'm free, I can die now."
"No one can die without my permission! Now where are you staying?" Sugar demanded.
Hiro felt happy, she had made it, and she wasn't alone. He wandered off, feeling some satisfaction in knowing her end.
***
The boys sat in the cafeteria eating and talking about the girls. "I wonder where they went?" Duo tossed his napkin onto his plate.
"Yah, they just disappeared." Quatre nodded.
"Hi baby, did you miss me?" Mitu kissed Duo's neck from behind. He looked pretty shocked, but recovered quickly.
Sugar smiled shyly at Quatre, they both looked away quickly blushing slightly. Mad G stood idly by. Trowa was glaring at Duo so hard it hurt the boy, knowing that he had gone after his sister. Hiro tried a little too hard to ignore them.
***
Duo smiled, "They invited us to a party. I'm going."
"No you're not." Hiro glared at him. "We've got to train for our next mission."
"I am and you can't stop me! Just because your tight wad butt can't stand fun doesn't mean that I can live with out it!" Duo stuck his tongue out, hands on his hips.
"Duo is right, we need to have a little fun occasionally." Quatre said softly.
"No one asked you! No one is going, hear me?!?" Hiro yelled, the veins in his neck bulging. "Wu Fei, tell them how bad this idea is."
Wu Fei looked up from his journal, with a strange look on his face. "What's wrong with the party?" He looked so...innocent.
Everyone's jaws made an audible clunk as they hit the floor. "Calendar, I must write this on a calendar. Wu Fei wasn't a tight wad for a moment!" Duo squealed and grabbed for his daily planner.
Trowa shrugged, "I was considering going myself."
Hiro through his hands up in defeat, "Fine, go get smashed, caught, and reprimanded."
"You do know that a certain girl that you like is going to be there." Duo smiled smugly as Hiro's face changed from annoyance to smittenness, before collapsing into its normal blank state.
"And I suppose you think you'll get Trowa's sister in the sack." He replied emotionlessly, enjoying the reaction of embarrassment on Duo's part and anger from Trowa. "I guess I'll have to go and make sure you all behave yourselves."
Quatre looked like he had been betrayed as Trowa held out his hand. "Pay up, you owe me ten for loosing the bet. Told you Hiro would give into it."
"You were taking bets?!" Hiro gasped, looking totally offended.
"Hey, it was a fifty-fifty chance, you have been so strange lately. Almost like playing the lottery." Duo chuckled.
***
They walked into the room and stopped short. Loud music, cigarettes, beer, and twisting bodies. Sugar bounced up and grabbed Quatre, "Come on!" They disappeared into the chaos.
Duo spotted Mitu, leaving the guys, to dance with her.
Wu Fei looked aggravated, "Why did we come?"
"Hello boys." Garrit came up with two other girls in tow. She introduced them to Zola- a Hindu sixteen year old- and Marala- a 14 year old blond with blue eyes-. Then she and Hiro left them with the girls, surprising everyone.
The four of them stood in uncomfortable silence for an hour and a half before Hiro reappeared. He just looked at them like they were dopes. Then Garrit and he left the party muttering about Dr G's timing (or lack there of).
Zola frowned at the door when it closed. "What would Dr G want with them at this hour? And both of them?" She looked at Marala who shrugged in reply.
"I think they shared a mission a while back. Maybe they have another one. Or there could be some problem with the last one." She suggested.
"We are talking about Mad G, not Sugar. Mad G doesn't make mistakes. She also wouldn't be paired with just any guy twice. Partners slow her down, she wouldn't allow it." Zola replied Icily, living up to her nickname.
"Hiro isn't just any guy. He wouldn't be the one doing the slowing down. It is highly unlikely that he would have a woman for a partner." Wu Fei told her.
"Oh, I forgot, boys have the muscles and therefore rule. My mistake!" Zola looked highly annoyed.
"Icey, don't hurt him...to much. You know how it annoyed Mitu when she had to clean up after you last time." Marala warned her.
Trowa laughed at her, "What could she possibly do to Wu Fei? He is the one with the black belt."
"In what? Being a prig?" Marala slapped her hands on her hips. The next moment the four of them were having it out on the ground. Duo and Mitu tried to stop them, but it wasn't working to well.
The others at the party started rooting for people and making it a real event. Sugar made everyone get out of the way, then she and Quatre helped Duo and Mitu to pull them apart. Everyone went home and left the two teams to talk it out. The four of the instigators sat and yelled at each other, while the four more peaceful ones tried to reason it out.
Garrit and Hiro came into this chaos about an hour later. "Wow, what party animals." Garrit stepped over empty beer cans and party streamers. "What are you doing?" She asked the teens that sat on opposite sides of the room threatening each other.
They all began talking at once. She listened for a while. "Stop!" She held up a hand and the girls all silenced themselves. Wu Fei and Trowa still kept complaining. "Shut up." She said evilly and they obeyed the tone in her voice-demanded obedience. Then she shook her head. "The entire thing was over superiority? We are equals. We all have our strengths and weaknesses. Drop it and get on with your lives. Clean up and go home. I'll make sure you will regret it if you start this childish behavior again. Good night." She bowed and left them looking like scolded children.
Hiro followed her out quietly, looking a bit dazed, like he had gotten some news that wasn't sinking in. He followed her into her office and flopped down on the sofa with a loud sigh. "I can't believe this."
"Well, you have to believe it or it isn't going to be much fun." She opened the door to an adjoining bedroom. "Are you going to sit there all night or are you coming?"
"Um. Coming." He picked himself up and followed her into the foreign room. His things were already in it and mingled with hers. It struck him funny that he got what he had wanted and it scared him to death.
