Chapter 10: To Kill Or Not To Kill

"Oh no! We've made a fatal mistake!" Quatre gasped.

He had just hacked into a few files in history and realized that they were after the wrong enemy. He also just realized that Violet, together with her four close friends were elite assassins under Assassin Cross. All the while, Heero had been leading them to the correct person, but the wrong target.

Wufei contained the surprise he felt within him when he saw what Quatre had discovered. 'We're after the wrong organization, damn it. And Brittany? Brittany is a member of the Assassin Cross? No wonder she shows potential during our karate classes. No wonder Violet excels in fencing. The five are trained to be in the battlefield.'

'Marie is a part of Assassin Cross? The vice-governess of this school is an elite assassin? Acting skills, she got through all these by acting. Tch, talented actress she is. I wonder if she can fight as well as Violet can? Brittany was also a good karate master. Each excels in their own field, only I haven't seen what Marie excels in. Hm… This will prove rather interesting.'

'This is something I really can't believe… Carina, the girl whom I have admired so much because of her cheerfulness and innocence, is actually an assassin?' Quatre pondered on this issue. 'Wait… Surely by now Heero has figured out about Assassin Cross… We have to go get him before he actually kills the wrong person!'

"We have to get to Violet and fast! Heero surely is on the move!" Quatre said, rising from his seat.

"You're right. We should go." Trowa said in agreement.

"Jazmine, can you please explain what happened?" Duo asked the girl beside him.

"Um, well, you see Duo, I… uh, I'm a member of the Assassin Cross."

"YOU WHAT?"

"You heard right, I am a member of Assassin Cross. But, Duo, we're not enemies anymore. We found out that we're both after the same enemy—Black Rose."

"That sounds familiar… Oh right, the base we destroyed back in L2… You're amazing Jazmine!"

"Don't flatter me Duo… I'm really sorry about that bomb, ya know."

"I'll let you amend it by letting me bunk in with ya." Duo grinned at Jazmine.

"Sure, why not?" Jazmine smiled at Duo.

"Heero, I need you to listen to me before you do anything you might regret." Violet said, turning to Heero.

"I won't fall for your acting again Beverly. You've already done enough." Heero's Prussian Blue eyes reflected danger and Violet knew, Heero wouldn't hesitate to shoot her right then and there.

"I admit, I lied to you several times. But this is one thing you have to listen to."

"Enough talking. You need to be eliminated."

Violet raised her hands in the air, showing defeat.

"Die."

The same moment that Heero said the single word, Violet quickly kicked Heero's gun, sending it to the wall. Heero sprinted forward, charging Violet with his fist. She moved aside and made an attempt to knee him in the stomach. To her surprise, Heero did a low kick, knocking her off her feet. Her head hit her desk hard. This gave Heero enough time to retrieve the gun. Violet's head ached terribly.

'Damn it, if…' She tried to stand up, but found Heero's gun pointed at her forehead. Violet felt a hit liquid trickle down the side of her face and fall on the carpeted floor—blood; she was bleeding.

"Finish off what my previous murderer started then." Violet said.

"I plan to. To think I actually apologized for calling you an Assassin Cross member. Your friends will follow you shortly."

In the hallway of the second floor of the dormitory, Quatre, Trowa and Wufei were looking for any of Violet's acquaintances. They happened to chance upon Carina, the person Quatre wanted to see.

"Carina!" Quatre called out to the blonde.

Carina turned around and looked at Quatre. Her face was lit up with a smile the moment she saw him.

"What is it Quatre?"

"Have you seen Violet? And Heero?"

"I think Violet went to her room. Heero supposedly is there too because he bunked in with her last night." Carina answered.

"Oh no!" Quatre literally flew up the stairs to the fourth floor.

'Please don't let us be late, please… Violet hang on for us…' The words of hope kept on echoing in Quatre's mind—he had to be optimistic for now.

"Heero damn it! How long will you point that gun at me!" Violet shouted.

"Were the stories of your past that you told me true?"

"What? You're thinking about that at this very moment! For the love of heaven's Heero, just shoot me if you must!"

'Shoot her Heero, she's your target.' Heero forced himself. 'Something isn't right here. What would she want to explain to me? Another lie? The reason beyond her lying? Damn it, how can a girl have me thinking so much? I stay too much with Duo. Kill Violet Beverly. That is your mission. Now finish off your mission!'

'Oh Heero… If I hadn't lied to you, would you believe me right now? If I did tell you the truth before, we wouldn't be standing in this position. We would be killing each other right now. If only… If only I hadn't grown so attached to you… If only you didn't apologize or tell me the things you said last night. If only I hadn't talked to you, probably, if you killed me right now, I wouldn't care…' Violet's thoughts were mixed up right now—she couldn't figure out what to do but let Heero kill her.

"My past was true Heero… Now you know, kill me—it won't matter." Violet said softly, all traces of anger, distress or vengeance fading from her face.

"Goodbye Violet Beverly, fire of Assassin Cross." Heero pulled the trigger and…

A/N: This chapter was kind of short, huh? Hahaha… I was tired when I wrote this ya know! (sighs) Duo and Jazmine couple is obvious now too… So is Quatre and Carina's mutual understanding… Ya know? When she smiled at Quatre? She must've been so relieved to find out he wasn't their enemy!

Me: Finally Heero, where have you been?

Heero: I finished off something.

Me: Please do the—

Heero: Review or death. You have two options.

Me: O.O; Sorry bout that… no, you won't die when you won't review. He's kidding. So, how'd the visit to Relena go?

Heero: You…

Me: Yes?

Heero: You touched my laptop.

Me: Kind of.

Heero: (points gun at me) You're going to die.

Quatre: Heero! No! (jumps at Heero)

Me: This is kind of getting noisy. I'll see you again some other time while I try to calm down Heero and ah! (avoids a bullet) Bye! (turns off the computer)
