Chapter 10 I'm sorry! I didn't mean to ask about your deck!!!

Wufei walked into the dimly lit North Tower sleepily. He rubbed his eyes and slumped into a chair. He leaned forward and slowly let his eyes go down. A smile graced his features as everything became silent. "HEY!!," Rei screamed, slamming the table. Wufei sat up with a jolt and looked around. Then he turned a glare at her. "You shouldn't disturb a man while he's resting." She made a shallow bow. "Well I'm sorry your highness I didn't know we were allowed to sleep in Divination." She smiled brightly at him then he stood up. He leaned towards her and touched just underneath her eyes. "Why didn't you get much sleep last night? Did you eat?" She looked away and took a step back. She smiled again at him. "You shouldn't point out a woman's flaw," she said and skipped towards her seat. Wufei shook his head and laid it back on the desk. *SLAM* Wufei stayed on the desk this time. "You shouldn't disturb me woman!," he said in a muffled voice, "I'm trying to rest before Trelawney gets here." "She is here," Professor Trelawney answered. Wufei sat straight up and smiled sweetly at Professor Trelawney. "Good morning," Wufei greeted. She only shook her head and turned towards the front of the classroom. "10 points from Gryffindor," she announced then turned around, "due to the lack of interest in this class." Wufei let his eyes roll up and looked over to Rei on his left. She was daydreaming out the window. //no doubt wishing she was sucking blood.// he thought and started to raise his hand to point out her mistake when he got an urge not to and just kept looking at Rei. She looked sad, tired, scared, angry, and confused at the same time. Wufei narrowed his glance towards her and started to see her aura, but then Trelawney slammed a crystal ball on his desk. "You and Rei will be reading each other again," she instructed and moved on. Wufei growled but noticed as Rei happily sat down in front of him. "So who wants to go first this time?" "You can," Wufei yawned. He put his head down into his arms and looked at the crystal ball. Wufei blinked and rubbed his eyes. There was someone in the crystal ball. Rei had her eyes closed and was concentrating. Wufei looked into the crystal ball and the woman. The woman had long dark hair with a white complexion and loose clothing. She seemed to be singing and looked very familiar. Then Wufei started to register Rei's voice. He looked up at her. ".again. It was different though. That's why you're not rested. You have to start to watch out for those around you. Even the most innocent and concealing have something to hide." "Her," Wufei whispered. Rei opened her eyes and Wufei suddenly sat up. The woman in the crystal ball had dark eyes. "She's from my dream." "Who is?" "The woman in the crystal ball." "You're imagining things," Rei laughed. "Well, what does she looked like then?" "She has long dark hair, dark eyes, and a white complexion." Rei's eyes widened and she quickly stood up in her seat. Wufei watched as she left the classroom with the professor following her. Wufei looked back into the crystal ball, but the woman was gone. He placed his hands over the ball and mumbled a question. He took a glance inside and saw two people standing back to back to each other, except that one was much taller than the other. "Mirror image."

Christmas Eve had finally arrived at the castle. All of the Walkton school kids had left except for Quatre, Race, Duo, Faulk, and Rei, and most of the Hogwarts kids had also left. People wandered in the halls and were throwing snowballs outside. The teachers were catching up on current events and had also left for Christmas break. Rei quickly tightened a dark blue scarf around her neck and descended down the stairs. She smiled as Duo and Quatre both rose from their seats with their jackets tightened around them. "C'mon," Duo whispered, "We better leave before they realize we're gone." Quatre and Rei both giggled as they left the Common room. The portrait slammed shut and in front of them were Faulk, Heero, and Trowa with their arms over their chests. The three trouble makers laughed nervously as their boyfriends glares were set upon them. "Hi," Rei said waving at Faulk. "Don't you 'hi' me," he answered. A frown fell onto her face as she stepped behind Duo for safety. Duo glared at Faulk. "Where are you guys gong?," Heero asked. Duo looked up at Heero and smiled. "Out," he replied. "How very descriptive," Heero continued. Duo shrugged and patted Rei on the head. Rei looked up at Quatre who gave a slight nod. Quatre, Rei, and Duo all stepped up to their respective boyfriends and gave them a small kiss, before fleeing down the hall. The boyfriends stood stunned then started following the others. Rei laughed openly as she quickly stripped her heavy coat and left it to roll in back of her. "Come back here," Faulk called. Rei turned around and started running backwards. She quickly stuck out her tongue and started running the right away again. "This way," Duo instructed, turning a corner. Rei and Quatre both followed quickly noticing that the ones behind them were catching up. "Duo!" Rei called. "I know!" He quickly turned another corner and entered a darker, dustier hallway. Quatre and Rei started coughing from the heavy dust but quickly turned into a room. The all collapsed against the door and tried to breathe again. Rei and Duo were both laughing. "Did you see their faces?" Rei asked turning to Quatre. Quatre smiled and nodded. "I do feel bad though," he said. Rei shrugged and let her head fall back onto the door. "That was to much fun," Rei giggled. "What do you think they'll do to us?," Duo asked. Quatre and Rei both shrugged. Suddenly the door was fiercely knocked on. The three jumped and held their weight against the door. "Who is it?," Quatre asked innocently. "Let us in," Heero growled. "Password," Duo replied. "How about, no sugar," cam Faulk's voice. Rei's eyes widened as she started to pull away. Duo pulled on her and shook his head. "I don't know what 'no sugar' means, but we won't give up!" The three outside growled and started to throw their bodies against the door. "Okay," Heero said from outside, "One, two three!" Rei, Duo and Quatre all pulled away from the door expecting for bodies to fall on top of each other with pieces of wood. Instead Heero quickly opened the door and entered it, pinning each of the jokers with glares. "Awe," Duo pouted, "You were supposed to fall onto the floor." "Why did you run away?" Trowa asked. "Trying to play hard to get?" Quatre shrugged. "Where were you guys going?," Faulk asked. "We were going to go to Hogsmeade to go shopping for Christmas," Rei answered then pointed a finger into Faulk's chest, "But you ruined the surprised and now I'm drained." She sighed and plopped onto the floor. "So where are we?" she asked. She looked around the dark green room and found a weird painting of a man with ginger colored hair and blazing blue eyes. His hair was slicked back and he looked sophisticated and looked like every woman's dream. In the middle of the oversized room was an oversized bed with a tattered white canopy covering. "This is where we found the diary," Duo answered sitting on the bed. "It's strange to see a huge room like this. And this bed," he said bouncing on the old mattress, "Looks like about six people to sleep in." "I don't like it," Rei said darkly, "It doesn't feel right here." Her eyes darted around the room and settled upon the hole in the ceiling. Duo shrugged. "What's up there?," Faulk asked, looking up where Rei was looking. The rest of them looked up. "An attic of some sort?," Trowa answered. "Let's find out," Duo said looking at them all. "How?,' Quatre asked. "Levitating." "That's how we met," Heero said. Duo nodded and looked down in concentration. "What if we use all of our power to get up there?" "Count me out," Rei said, "I'm not feeling well." She clutched onto her stomach and looked as if she was going to be sick. "Rei?" Duo asked stepping towards her. Faulk held onto her as she started swaying in her seat and finally collapsed.

Wufei walked into Rei's room carrying about three chocolate frogs. She turned to him and smiled. "Didn't think you'd be here," she smiled. He placed the frogs onto the table and sat on a seat on her bed. She stared p at the ceiling and waited. "Must I explain?," he asked. Rei remained silent and stared at the ceiling. Wufei opened his mouth to speak, but Rei started. "It's been there since I was young. Just staring and mimicking my every move. I hate looking at her. She's everything I'm not and hasn't aged since I've seen her. When I would look outside and keep the window closed I would eventually just stare into her eyes. And every time I did I would feel her hurt and pain from wherever she's from. So I make sure the window is open so I don't see her and just feel the dull pain. I don't know who she is, but she's there and is leading me to a destiny." Rei turned her head towards Wufei. Her eyes were dark and heavy. "Anything else?" "I'm sorry," he whispered looking down. Rei sat up and looked at him in disbelief. "Excuse me?," she asked. "I'm sorry I've been rude to you woman," he said louder. Rei smirked and nodded. "Thank you."





GWA: K, so I'm getting a darker idea of the future of this fic. Things are starting to piece together I hope and I really need suggestions. I've got things in mind, but I'm just not entirely sure. *sigh* suggestions? Comments? Reviews? Anything? Flames? Oh, I can't write lemons so try not to suggest them. If you do then you get to write it and I'll give you credit. Which ever pairing you want and all.
