Angel: Your soooooo mean!

Sage: Who?

Angel: Dark Sheadow! *Sob*

Duo: Why?

Angel: Dark threatened to take you two from me if I didn't write the next chapter.

Duo: Bad Dark!

Sage: She'd be doing us a favor. *grins*

Angel: Meanie!

Okay, here's another note. Can anyone tell me if there are any poetry places I can post my poems? I want to publish them and I want to know which ones I should add into the book. I have like forty, so I need some help. I'd love you forever if you knew! Ja ne minna-san.





"Quatra?" Hotaru had looked out the window. She'd caught sight of him running out the door and into the gardens. She'd hurried after him, not even taking time to put on shoes. "Quatra wait!" she ran as fast as she could.

"No! I won't stop." Hotaru herd him call back. 'Why? Why does he not want to stop?' She chased after him, not giving in to his warnings of don't come closer. Hotaru finally found him at the end of the garden path. Quatra was curled into a tight ball. His eyes were closed and it looked like he was crying. "Leave me alone." He whispered hoarsely.

"Quatra? What's the matter? You've never acted like this! I worried." Hotaru knelt down next to him. "Is it something I did?"

"Go away. Go back to your Heero."

"Heero?"

Rei practically grinned as she watched Wufei from the window. She couldn't help but laugh. "What's so funny?" A voice said from behind her. It was Duo. "Heya."

"Hi." She said. A sweat smile replaced the grin that had been there a moment before. "I'm just getting my revenge on Wufei." She said pointing to the window. Duo came over and leaned in front of her.

He now stood only an inch from her. "Shit, that is hilarious." Duo laughed. Rei felt like reaching out and touching him. 'Wait! I don't even know the guy.'

Duo wrapped his arm around her shoulders. "Hey babe, how bout you and me go paint Nataku and add a braid?"

"Firstly…" She took his arm off of her. "The name isn't babe. And I'd love to help you play pranks on Wufei!"

He grinned back. "Hey no problem." He cocked his head to the side. "But on one condition. You have to go out with me on a date."

*******************************************************

Quatra stared up at her, his eyes red and puffy. "I feel so weak."

"Your not weak."

"I'm crying."

"So?"

"I'm a man."

"Quatra…" Hotaru sighed and hugged him. "It's alright for a guy to cry. I won't tell. I promise. But what did you mean about Heero?"

Quatra looked at her violet eyes and laughed sourly. "Since I first saw you, I fell in love with you. But I guess I waited to long to say anything. So now you and Heero are together."

"That's not true." Hotaru said. She felt her heart ache. "I like Heero, and offered him my friendship. But I love you." She said kissing him lightly. "I've loved you for along time." She blushed. "But I thought you thought of me only as a little sister."

"Hotaru?" She looked at him in the eye. "You really love me?"

Millardo watched Serena as she giggled girlishly. She was just below him, as he stood watching her from the balcony. "She hasn't noticed you yet."

"I know." He turned to see Heero standing in the doorway.

"We must leave for the mission first thing tomorrow."

"Yes."

"You feel for the girl?"

"Does it matter?"

"No."

Millardo watched Heero leave. "To bad you can't feel for anyone. But maybe, Hotaru seems to be just the friend he needs. Just like a little sister. But he still needs someone to hold."

She grinned. "I am Night Stalker. And I will be the one to defeat the perfect soldier. I will get you Heero Yuy………"
