Author's Note: One of my friends is updating this story for me because my
computer doesn't like the fanfiction site. I am at least fortunate to be
able to check my e-mail. Friday Rush has been cancelled for the rest of the
time.
This from the one putting up the chapters for Kargura; I can't get it to format correctly so until I figure it out the chapters will look a little different.

Intrigue
by Kagura
One Day Left
---------------
The count down to the end of the month has begun. Heero and Noin are
oblivious. One day remains.
---------------
Sally Po had to call Heero. The ex-gundam pilot hated rumors, but now they
were spreading like wild fire. Zechs had started the rumors actually, when
he had stormed into the office on Monday morning.
"Hello?" a female voice had picked up.
"Noin? Did I call the wrong number? What are you doing at Heero's house at
1000 hours?"
"I've been here since last night. Anyway, Heero's at the grocery store
because he finally ran out of Apple Cinnamon Cheerios. Relena won't eat
anything else for breakfast. Actually, Quatre won't either. I now have stock
pile of it at my house, too."
"Noin, are you going to tell me the rumors are true?"
"Rumors, Sally? What rumors?"
"There were rumors about you and Heero sleeping together going around this
morning."
"Jeeze, can't that man get anything straight?"
"What man, Noin?"
"Zechs."
"Well he was the one that sort of started the rumors."
"Well, you see, Zechs decided to stop by my apartment to find I wasn't
there. So, without thinking, he called Heero's apartment looking for me. So
when he gets Heero on the phone, Heero goes and tells Zechs that I'm in his
bed without explaining that he had been sleeping on the couch. You know how
Heero tends to not explain himself too well. You can understand why Zechs
would be confused. I tried to correct him, but if there are rumors going
around that he started then it can only be assumed that he didn't get the
message."
"Oh, okay."
"Although I wouldn't really mind."
"You wouldn't mind?"
"No, I wouldn't mind."
"What about Zechs?"
"Zechs is more like a five year old in an adult body. It's cute at first,
but then it just gets annoying."
"Oh. So I take it you really like Heero."
"Yeah." Noin's answer was a bit hesitant.
"Noin, it's really blatantly obvious."
"Is it?"
"Oh! Drat! I got to go! Wufei just woke up!"
"Okay, see ya." Then she said, more to her self, "It can't possibly be that
obvious."
"Don't forget, Heero can be a bit of a dimwit on this subject matter."
----------------
Sally had a new goal. Although Noin was relatively good with relationships,
Heero was, as she had said earlier, a bit of a dimwit. This relationship
would definitely need some help to get it going in the right direction. But
to do that would to be suicide, that is if Sally was to go through with her
plan tonight. It was all planned very carefully, but there was so much room
for error, and with the perfect soldier as your target, anything could go
wrong.
