Chapter 9: FIGHT!
Staring into the bright indigo eyes in front of her made Usagi's stomach flutter. They were so welcoming. Now, looking into them now, they seemed so pleading, they were asking her to agree. 'I'm sorry Mamo-chan.' Usagi nodded her head in conformation.
"You will?" asked the owner of the eyes. He was a young boy who looked to be around the age of sixteen. His long chestnut colored braid reached his waist. His eyes, that Usagi was gazing into, were a deep indigo that sparkled with life.
"Hai," Usagi agreed for the second time. At that simple word, the boy's mouth spread into a big goofy grin. Duo was thrilled that a girl so beautiful would go with him anywhere. The look on Duo's face mad Usagi laugh. They began to walk the path they had originally been walking on again. Only now the two walked closer.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After Usagi had left, Rei and Relena had gone down to one of the many gardens. Rei looked over the area, seeing how much space they had to work with. "You know Relena-san, if we have the dance outside the we will have to watch the weather reports. Not to many people would come if it was raining out here."
"I already have, were supposed to have clear skies this whole week."
"Well, I hope that those forecasters are accurate," Rei joked, remembering how often the weathermen of her time were wrong.
"Me too. Do you have any ideas of what to do for this thing? Because I haven't been able to think of anything," Relena admitted her reason for asking for help.
"Well, not yet, but something will," Rei assured. "We have lots of flowers, so we could go for a tropical theme."
"Theme?" questioned Relena; she hadn't been expecting such a suggestion.
Rei nodded, "You know for decorations and stuff. Most dances have a theme."
"Oh, that's right," Relena tried to cover her ignorance up. "You seem to have done stuff like this before."
"Hai, I used to always help plan parties and other events where I used to live."

Haruka walked to the gymnasium. Meeting up with Usagi and Rei had been a pleasant surprise, but it had also opened up a lot of questions that Haruka had been refusing to look at. When Rei had begun to ask questions about the others and their enemy, Haruka began to think about her friends and hope they were O.K.
Another problem that was bothering Haruka was the fact that Rei and Usagi said they couldn't transform into their senshi. She wondered what would prevent them from transforming. While Haruka was thinking, she wasn't really watching were she was walking. Suddenly she ran into someone, knocking them down.
"Baka onna, watch where you are going!" exclaimed a startled Wufei. He wasn't exactly thrilled that someone had caught him off guard.
"I was going to say that I was sorry, but since you seem to think that I'm a baka, I think I'll just leave you there," retorted Haruka, offended at someone that didn't even know her was calling her a baka.
"Like I would ask for a weak onna's help anyway," replied Wufei hotly. Who was this woman to try insult him so. He began to get back up, but was pushed back down by Haruka's foot.
"I'm not giving you permission to get up. I like you right where you are, so get comfortable." She thought it was time that this boy was taught a lesson, a lesson that might leave him a little sore in some places. Wufei let out a sound that was curiously similar to a growl.
Pushing Haruka's foot out of the way Wufei once again attempted to get up, but once again he was pushed back down by the very foot he pushed away a few seconds ago. "Look, onna, I don't want to harm you so if you would get your foot off my chest, then we both can get on our way," he tried to cover up the fact that a female was keeping him down on the ground.
"Oh, don't worry short stuff, you wouldn't be able to lay a finger on me," assured Haruka. "But, if you really want, I've been looking for a good sparring partner, since you seem to be the closest thing to that, I might as well use you."
She smiled as Wufei's face turned a deep red in anger. He began to struggle more. Pushing a little harder with her foot, Haruka pressed the subject. "If you say yes, I'll let you up faster, then we can go to the gym… and you can try to win back some of dignity." Wufei's face turned an even deeper shade of red, which was surprising since it was already the color of a tomato.
After a few minutes of struggling to get up Wufei agreed. Smiling wickedly, Haruka said, "good lets go." Releasing Wufei from her hold on the ground, she allowed him to get up. She began to walk towards the gym; a grumbling Wufei followed her.
'I'm just glad that Duo isn't here, he would never let me live this down.' Thought Wufei thankfully.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walking with Usagi was one of the best things that had happened to Duo in a while. "Hey, what's that?" asked Usagi walking towards two figures, one on the ground being held down by the other.
"I dunno babe, let's go see," he suggested. "It looks like," Duo smiled an insanely huge grin at the scene before him, "Wu-man, he's being held down by a woman!" He began to laugh as quietly as possible, not wanting Wufei to see him yet.
Usagi looked at Duo with a slightly offended look, "What is so wrong with a woman holding him down?"
"It's not anything about women not being able to do anything like that, only Wufei thinks that all females are weak," answered Duo quickly, not wanting to upset Usagi. "Hey, isn't that your friend that you introduced to us earlier?"
Looking at the figure that was holding down Wufei, Usagi's eyes widened in recognition. "Hai, I wonder what he did to get her mad at him."
"He probably pissed her off by calling her weak or something. Come on, I want to see what happens, let's follow them." Giggling, Usagi followed Duo around to the back of the gymnasium building. She walked behind him as he led her down a wide hallway with doors on each side. Opening a door on the right, Duo motioned for her to enter the room that it led to. She walked through the doorway and looked around. It was a large room, with people either sitting in bleachers on the side that they had entered, or sparred on a mat that covered most of the floor. "Let's take a seat in the back," suggested Duo in her ear. Usagi let him drag her up to the top row. Once they were sitting, Usagi took in the sites. Looking for Haruka, she didn't see her tall sandy haired friend. Every once in awhile someone would begin to cheer for a friend, but mostly any sound in the room came from the people on the floor. Crying out in pain or attacking.
Haruka entered the room with a grumbling Wufei at her heel. Usagi pointed them out to Duo. They watched as Haruka found a spot with enough room to fight. The pair took a fighting stance and began. Usagi soon lost herself in the dance of fast kicks and punches. It seemed that the two were evenly matched. Almost like one knew the others move before a move was even mad. Suddenly Haruka began to increase her speed, forcing Wufei to take the defensive. Then, the next thing she knew, Wufei was on the ground.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Haruka helped Wufei to his feet. "You are better then I thought," complimented Haruka. They were both breathing hard and sweating.
"You aren't so bad yourself, the names Wufei. Chang Wufei," he extended his hand to the woman who had just defeated him. Not many guys could beat him in a sparring match.
"Ten'ou Haruka," shaking hands with Wufei, Haruka caught sight of Usagi and a boy with long chestnut colored hair tied back in a braid.
"Hey Wu-man, looks like you're making friends," joked the boy. "I think we've been introduced, but I can't remember your name."
"It's Haruka," reminded Usagi. "Haruka-chan this is Duo Maxwell." Usagi made an introduction.
"Well, it's nice to meet you."
There was a sound of a clock announcing the hour. "I have to go, I'll see you all later. I promised Rei-chan that I would be on time to go get dinner, and I want to keep that promise." Usagi ran out the door with one last wave.
"Wow, she's fast. Never thought that she could run from the looks of her," Duo stated his thoughts.
"There's a lot you don't know about her," sighed Haruka. "Well, I have to go." Haruka the walked out before either boy could say anything. She didn't want to explain that the reason she was leaving was because of the nagging feeling that something bad was going to happen. She had to protect Usagi, her princess, from harm, and maybe even defeat the thing that was the reason for her meeting with these two guys.
