Ok uh...before you continue on, I would like to tell you all the definition of the word "fiction." (If you already know what it means, good for you! ^^) *clears throat*
Fiction: A literary work whose content is produced by the imagination and is not necessarily based on fact. In other words - a lie.
Please try to take this into consideration while you're reading, PLEASE!?! Now...*smile* here's ch. 3 and I hope you enjoy. Oh and thank you for the reviews! ^^
Love and Lust - Part 3

Dinner was pretty much eaten in silence in front of the TV. Every now and then Akari would yank one of Akira's braids thus causing Akira to hit her and glare. Akari would only just smile and stick out her tongue. They were just kids after all - didn't really know the difference between right and wrong. Meanwhile, Heero was upstairs in his room, talking on the phone with Sally, their godmother or (the word they prefer) nanny. So pretty much the whole household was quiet.
Akari looked at the clock and pouted. Only 30 minutes until 8:00, their bedtime. Akari didn't want to go to school the next day. For one thing, she hated school: she couldn't even stand the teacher. Every day, Akari and Heero would go at it about school; usually she'd ask if he didn't go to school then why did she have to, and he would always say 'because.' Because...she hated that word. Finished with her dinner she got up from the floor and put her plate in the kitchen before returning to her original spot.
"Kira...I don't wanna go to school tomorrow..." Akari whined, looking at her sister. She just shrugged.
"Do you think we have a choice? It's not like Daddy's gonna not make us go."
"Well...what about the last time? We didn't go to school."
"That was because Auntie Relena wasn't working that day and she could take care of us."
"Oh...wait a minute-that's it!" Akari jumped up. "We'll get Auntie Relena to baby-sit!" Akira shook her head.
"Auntie Relena's gotta a meeting tomorrow. She won't be home."
"Oh...well how about Uncle Quatre?"
"Nope...he works with Daddy so he'll be a work too." Akari opened her mouth to say something else. "And so will Uncle Wufei and Uncle Trowa."
"Darn..." Akari slumped down on the couch. "This isn't fair! I don't wanna go to school!"
"Then find a baby-sitter."
"I can't! Everybody's work...I got it!!" Akari jumped up again. "Auntie Hilde!" Akira shook her head. "Oh now what!?"
"Auntie Hilde's outta town. She left yesterday."
"No!!" Akari slumped back down again. Akira finished eating and put her plate away.
"We could always get 'you know who' to take care of us. He'd be more than willing."
"No way...he's not even an option!" Akari exclaimed. Akira just shrugged.
"I gave you a suggestion...he's the only one. He doesn't work-all he does is hang out in Auntie Noin's home, making sure it's clean every day."
"Yeah ever since Auntie Relena kicked him out."
"Exactly. So if you don't wanna go to school...he's our only hope." With that, Akira ran up the stairs to make sure Heero was off the phone. He wasn't. Sighing, she opened the door just enough so that she could poke her head in. "Um excuse me?" Heero looked at her.
"Uh Sally, I'll talk with you tomorrow, ok?...Yeah I'll go down to the lab first thing in the morning. Bye." Heero hung up the phone. "What is it?"
"Well..." Akira sauntered over to him. "Akari and I don't wanna go to school tomorrow and we were wondering if we didn't have to go...please?"
"I gotta work tomorrow..."
"I know, that's why we thought...uh...that Mr. Zechs could take care of us...please?" A small twinkle shined in Akira's eyes as Heero picked up the phone.
"You should've asked earlier, Kira...now get ready for bed."
"What!?" Akira pouted. "But Daddy, I don't wanna go to school tomorrow! Please don't make me go-I'll do chores, I'll clean up my room, I'll-"
"Now hold on a sec, would ya?" Heero smiled warmly at her. "You don't have to go to school. But that doesn't mean you're not gonna go to bed early..."
"Oh...k! Thankies!!" Akira left the room in a giggly fit. She ran down the stairs, almost tripping on the last step. Akari was there waiting for her.
"Well? What'd he say?" She asked, eager to know the answer.
"He said we didn't have to go!!" Both girls laughed, jumping up and down in excitement. "But, we still have to go to bed early."
"K!" After turning off the TV, they both rushed up the stairs.

Next morning, Heero was pacing back and forth, every now and then looking at his watch. Akari and Akira just watched him attentively, listening carefully around them, just in case the doorbell should ring. Zechs was supposed to be there at 7:30 am. It was now close to 9:00 am. Heero was already late for work and he was the least bit happy at all. He had important things to do this morning. One of the options in his mind was to go on to work and leave the girls here for Zechs to pick up, but he didn't think he could forgive himself if something bad were to happen to them. Looking at his watch, Heero growled softly. It was 8:55 am.
"God dammit, where the hell is he?" He muttered, continuing to pace back and forth. Akira let out a yawn. School started at 8:30 am so she and her sister were already late...if they were going that is. Finally the doorbell rang and Heero went to answer as the two girls jumped down from the couch. Heero opened the door to find Noin standing at the doorstep. "What are you doing here?"
"Well I'm here to pick up the girls. I know, I know-Zechs was supposed to do it. But he slept in."
"Hmph..." Heero shook his head. "Typical..."
"Yeah..." Noin clapped her hands. "So they ready?"
"Yes!" Akari and Akira said in unison before appearing from behind Heero. Noin just smiled.
"Thanks again, Noin. I really gotta get going," Heero said, closing the door as soon as the girls got out. "I'll pick them at around 5 this evening ok?"
"Got it!" Noin opened the back door of her car, allowing the girls to go in. Then she got into the driver's seat and watched as Heero drove off before going as well.

I know, this chapter was short. But I promise the next one will be longer...hopefully anyway. I think for chapters 4 and 5, I'm gonna focus more on Akari and Akira. Just thought I'd warn you ahead of time. Please review and thanks in advance ^^
