Don't own Gundam Wing or Sailor Moon. Sorry.... behind schedule. Read. Review. Thank you.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Hotaru and Heero stood before the teacher as they had her the report. The teacher smiled at them and nodded.
"I expected no less from you two."
They nodded and walked out the class. Heero walked with Heero along the hallway.
"Winter vacation... finally."
Heero nodded his agreement. They two noticed that they were receiving looks from everyone. A few of the girls winked at Heero as he passed. The boys catcalled. Hotaru snorted.
"Remind me never to be in the hallways with you."
"What's that suppose to mean?"
"No offense. The female population just has a habit of going crazy over you."
"You get the same thing from the guys."
Hotaru and Heero laughed. They both knew that the people in this school were no were near what they would want. Everyone looked at them strangely at their outburst. Heero and Hotaru merely sent a few glares their way and everyone returned to their busy lives.
"Lift home?"
"Sure."
Hotaru followed Heero once again. This time, it was a Harley.
"Geez Heero, seriously."
Heero chuckled and told Hotaru to get on. Climbing on, she wrapped her hand around his stomach. Heero resisted the urge to wince. However he did stiffen when Hotaru squeezed slightly.
"What's wrong?"
"N-nothing."
Hotaru got off the bike and pulled Heero off. She knew something was wrong. She lifted his shirt and saw the thick bandage wrapped around his stomach.
"How..."
"I got into a little fight..."
"Are you okay?"
"Yea..."
Hotaru looked at him, concern.
"If you say so..."
Hotaru got back on the bike, but this time she put her hand on his shoulders. Heero looked back at her. He was confused, why was she worried about him?
"Hotaru, you'll fall off like that. It's okay, hold on to my stomach. Just don't squeeze too hard."
Hotaru reluctantly placed her hands on his strong stomach. Even with the black shirt between her hands and his stomach, she could feel his six pack abs. Hotaru looked away and blushed.
^^^
Heero tried to ignore the warmth that coursed through his body when Hotaru's arms were around his waist. How was he supposed to forget and ignore her when the simplest touch made him feel lightheaded?
He sighed as he saw Hotaru's huge mansion closing up in the distance. This would be the last he would see her in two weeks. Two whole weeks of no Hotaru Tsukino. Part of him rejoiced, for it was this chance that would make him the Perfect Soldier once again. However the other side, the tiny side of him that was still remotely human, said that that would be death for him.
'Thank god I can't die twice.'
Having enough of his own foolishness, Heero stopped the bike. HE couldn't die twice, and with the two weeks, whatever he felt for this mere mortal would fade. As Hotaru got off the bike, Heero felt the cold abyss slowly taking hold of him again. HE was losing that side of him... the human side, that came out when he was with her.
'You can't die twice, you can't die twice.'
Hotaru smiled at him before walking to her house. Inside, Heero's ice cold heart shut down once again. He looked at her disappearing back before looking away, unable to look at the beautiful angel walking away any more.
"I should know by now... there are fates worse than death..."
Heero groaned as he walked to the window. IT was Sunday night, the night before Christmas Eve. Heero felt a light smile touch his lips. The presents were under the tree....... THE PRESENTS?!
Heero's eyes widened, and for once, fear was in the Perfect Soldier's eyes. The presents... aw man he forgot them again!
Heero looked frantically out the window. IT was the night before Christmas Eve, no way he was going shopping out there...
But Heero Yuy remembered all too well what happened when you forget to shop for four very powerful ageless beings. Heero sighed and trudged up to his room. Grabbing his leather duster and some cash, Heero flew to the garage as fast as he could. Trowa rolled his eyes at the speeding God.
Heero looked around the mall. Crowded was an understatement, death pit was underestimating it, hellhole fit it perfectly.
Heero squeezed between two fighting women and looked at his list. He got everyone, except Trowa. Groaning, Heero looked around. His eyes lit up, a book. It looked ancient, with leather binding. The title said, 'Metamorphosis', By Ovid. Heero's eyes went dark; he would get that book at all costs.
Heero sped towards that book. Two more feet. Heero's hand landed on the book as he started to walk away. He then realized that another petite and pale hand was on the book as well. Looking up, he stared into a pair of glaring violet orbs.
"Hotaru..."
"Heero..."
The two's gazes shifted to the book, and then back to each other. Hotaru glared at him.
"It's mine Heero."
"No, mine. I saw it first."
"Did not."
"Did too."
"Well I grabbed it first."
"I believe I did Mr. Yuy."
They glared at each other. Damn, who would get the book?
"I really need this for Trowa."
"I REALLY need it for Ami."
"Well your fault for not shopping earlier."
"Well you're in the same position."
They both sighed. This was going no where. Hotaru let her emotions come out for once. Heero gasped inwardly when he saw her eyes. Those violet orbs filled with such desperation were pleading with him.
"Ami loves Greek mythology."
"So does Trowa."
They looked at the book in their hands. Their eyes widened, they realized that Heero's finger was lying comfortably on Hotaru's hand. Heero blushed and moved his finger.
"Heero... please..."
Heero looked at her. She seemed too desperate. He sighed. Heero let go of the book and walked away. Hotaru was shocked; he actually gave it up. Heero turned around.
"Be at my house tomorrow for my friend's Christmas party. Here's the address."
Heero threw a card at her, which she caught. Heero smiled slightly before walking away. Why had he asked her to the party? He was trying to get her out of his mind. Heero sighed. No use battling with himself. He knew he could never forget her.
^^^
Hotaru watched his disappearing back. She was so confused, why had he invited her. She pulled out the invitation. She eyes widened, it was beautiful. IT was a rectangular card, with black silk boarder. The lettering were done in ancient script, in platinum. Hotaru realized, that it was ACTUAL platinum, as in the metal.
'You are invited to attend the Christmas Eve party of G5, at the Winner mansion. Your presence will be greatly appreciated.
The party starts promptly at 7:00 PM.
Please do not be late.
And it is formal dress if you please.
For entrance, show this invitation at the door.
Address: Thirteen Park Drive on G5 Avenue.
From,
Heero Yuy of the G5
H.Y., D.M., T.B., Q.R.W., & W.C.'
Hotaru frowned. He must be from a rich family. The G5, he had heard that some where before. She looked the emblem on top. A dark blue dragon formed a circle, its head near the tail at the bottom. On top, a black panther was leaping out at you; it claws extended and jaws wide open. On the right was a lion, on its hind legs facing the left. On the left was a cheetah, also on the its hind legs facing the right. IN the middle, larger than the rest was a black tiger, walking towards. It head was low between its front legs, its knees bent, looking as if it would attack you at any given time.
Hotaru shifted her gaze to the bottom of the invitation. There, were two animals. The black tiger was leaping at you on top, with ice blue eyes glowing with power. Underneath it, upside down, was a dark blue and white wolf. Its yellow eyes bore into your soul.
Hotaru looked away, unable to deal with the strength and power shown by the two insignias. How could Heero and his friends have such power and wealth?
Hotaru ignored it and went to the cash register. She had to dress up... that included wearing a dress... a gown... oh damn.
~~~~~~~~~
Minako yawned as she resisted the urge to fall asleep at her desk. It's been about two weeks since she came to work at Winner Corps. Since the meeting that she attended with Quatre, he'd been extra nice to her. Thanks to her charm, quick thinking, long legs, and head on her shoulders, Winner Corps landed the deal without trouble. Quatre was all too happy.
Now she was his personal assistant, handling the bigger meetings with him. Minako yawned again as she heard the door to Quatre's office shut.
"Ms. Aino."
Minako froze. Uh-oh. Quatre never called her Ms. Aino anymore. And he sounded so... impassive. Minako gulped and slowly turned around in her large swivel chair.
"In my office if you please."
Without another word Quatre turned around and walked into his large and spacious office. Minako was now really confused. What on earth was wrong with Quatre?
Standing up she smoothed her dark yellow skirt and her suit. With grace and confidence she did not possess until meeting Quatre, she walked into his office. Closing the door behind her, she walked to his large desk.
"You requested my presence sir?"
Quatre's chair was turned away from her and facing the window. Therefore, she didn't see the amused smile that lit up his serious expression.
"You have been working in my corporation for about two weeks is that correct?"
Minako was really confused. Where was this going?
"Yes sir, I have."
"And yet you have risen in stature from my secretary to my personally assistant helping me on important meetings."
"That is correct sir."
"You have begun to call me by my first name instead of by 'Mr. Winner'."
"Yes sir."
"We've went out for lunch several times... which is not what is usually done between the boss and an employee."
Minako nodded. She did not trust her voice to answer this question. She had to admit; she was feeling something for him. She shut her eyes.
"Y-Yes sir."
Quatre sighed. Minako didn't like this as her shoulders began to shake.
"That's why I'm asking you to be my date to my friends' yearly Christmas party."
Minako let out a sob. Suddenly, she looked up to see Quatre beaming at her. She just realized what he had said... be his date. Minako wiped away her tears and glared at Quatre.
"ARGH! QUATRE!!!"
Quatre winced. Okay, maybe not the best way to handle that one. But he just wanted to have some fun!
"NO!"
Quatre stood up, his blue eyes suddenly frantic.
"Minako..."
Quatre's eyes widened as Minako started to walk away. He ran to her, stepped in front of her, and placed his hands on her shoulders. Her face was downcast so he couldn't see her face.
"Minako..."
Minako pulled away from Quatre and walked towards the door one again. Quatre, in desperation, hugged Minako's thin waist from behind. Minako froze, stopped resisting, and felt Quatre's hard chest mold perfectly with her body. Quatre lowered his mouth to her ear.
"I'm sorry... I didn't mean to do that." Minako heard the pain and true regret in his voice. His voice was shaky, unlike the usual strong voice she was used to.
"Please Minako..."
Minako felt Quatre lay his forehead on the top of her head. She could feel his hot breath on her neck. Minako sighed. She just couldn't resist him. She turned around, so that his forehead was pressing against her own. She raised a shaking hand to his cheek.
"Quatre..."
Quatre opened his eyes, and she forgot whatever she was going to say. Those eyes held all of his soul and emotions bare for her to see. And the intensity scared her. They were exploding with life, desperation... despair. They were pleading with her, to accept his apology, to see he really meant it.
"Quatre I was... so scared... I was..."
Quatre brought a single finger to her mouth. S soft smile touched his lips.
"I'm sorry for scaring you. Please, say yes."
Minako was hesitant at first. But then she saw the sincerity and pleading look in his eyes again. She smiled gently and nodded. Quatre grinned and hugged her tighter.
"Thank you."
"I have to go work now Quatre."
Quatre nodded, and reluctantly let go. He felt all the warmth draining from his body as she stepped back. Trying to mask his disappointment, he handed her a card.
"Invitation. Rule: don't get in without one. And take the day off tomorrow!"
Quatre smiled at her as Minako took the invitation. She smiled at him before leaving.
Minako took out the invitation. She was shocked by it's simply beauty. The border was dark golden silk, and the letters were done in an elegant gold writing. Minako gasped, the invitation was heavy, so the ink was ACTUAL gold.
'You are invited to attend the Christmas Eve party of G5, at the Winner mansion. Your presence will be greatly appreciated.
The party starts promptly at 7:00 PM.
Please do not be late.
And it is formal dress if you please.

Quatre R, Winner of the G5
H.Y., D.M., T.B., Q.R.W., & W.C.'
Minako looked at the insignia on top. A dark blue dragon formed a circle, its head near the tail at the bottom. On top, a black panther was leaping out at you; it claws extended and jaws wide open. On the right was a lion, on its hind legs facing the left. On the left was a cheetah, also on the its hind legs facing the right. IN the middle, larger than the rest was a black tiger, walking towards. It head was low between its front legs, its knees bent, looking as if it would attack you at any given time.
Minako caught something else at the bottom of the letter. IT was a beautiful yellow cheetah, with black spot. IT was simply standing there, the left profile. Its head was held up high as its left paw was raised, and the claws extended.
"Strange."
Realizing the card said formal dress, Minako decided that she had to go shopping.
Rei wiped the sweat off her forehead as she blocked another kick from Wufei. She'd been working as his employee for about two weeks now. And amazingly, she had come to like him... as a friend. Rei delivered a spinning back kick, which was easily deflected by Wufei. Although they didn't always see eye to eye, they had a lot in common.
First off, really bad tempers. Heck, they both admitted it. Second, set in their ways. IT took a lot to get them to see other people's perspectives and beliefs. Third, stubborn... oh yeah.
"Enough."
Rei was surprised as Wufei simply walked away from the mat. Wufei walked over to the benches and picked up his towel. They've only been sparring for about 20 minutes.
"What's wrong?"
"What do you mean onna?"
Rei snorted. HE still couldn't call her Rei at all times. Her temper flared.
"CHANG! WATCH IT!"
Wufei shrugged and returned to his water. Rei sighed, how they didn't kill each other was a total mystery.
"Why'd you stop?"
"I have... certain things to take off."
"It's only 3."
Wufei looked at the clock on the wall. IT was only three.
"Let's grab some lunch."
Rei felt her jaw hit the floor. Wufei never interrupted a spar for no reason. And she was the one that usually asked for lunch.
"What are you waiting for onna?"
Rei growled. Too good to last. Walking into the locker room, she quickly took a shower and dressed. Pulling her wet hair into a messy ponytail, she dressed casually in a pair of black jeans and a dark red tank top.
"Ready?"
Rei looked up to see Wufei leaning against the wall. She hated to admit it, but he looked pretty good in that black tank top and baggy dark blue cargoes. Rei nodded and grabbed her black bag.
Walking out, the two enjoyed the sunshine. Wufei looked at the girl walking next to him. She was feisty... and stubborn... but not as bad as he thought. She has come to earn his respect, and that was a very hard thing. To a certain degree, he saw her as an equal. However, he would never tell her. He couldn't help but snort as he thought about how big her ego would get.
"IS something on your mind Wufei?"
Wufei looked at Rei. She had learned to read him by now.
"Not really."
"Oh..."
The two continued down the street in silence. Wufei paused at the entrance to the park.
"How about we just chill out at the park for a while?"
Rei was surprised at Wufei. First off, that was not something he would ask. Second, his voice sounded so soft, as opposed to the harsh and sometimes cold tone he used. And second, it sounded almost unsure and desperate, not like the usual confidant, strong and at times boastful tone in his voice.
"Sure thing."
Wufei stopped at a bench and sat down. Rei did the same.
"Are you busy tomorrow?"
Rei was startled by the question. It came out quickly, like he wanted to get it off his chest.
"No... why?"
"Well... my friends... are having a party tomorrow... and I need... a date..."
Rei blushed, as did Wufei. They looked away for a minute as Rei chewed on her bottom lip. Wufei cursed himself slightly. Why did it come out like that?
"Um... sure."
Wufei snapped around to look at Rei. Her face was hidden from him, but he could see the blush that warmed her cheeks. He smiled, a true smile and not an arrogant or mocking smirk.
"Good. Here's the invitation. Sorry but I really have to run. See you at the party tomorrow. Oh yeah, take tomorrow off."
With that Wufei stood up and walked away. Rei sat on the bench for a minute, just motionless. Then she slowly took out the invitation. It was really simple but elegant. The border was dark blue silk, and the lettering was silver colored. Upon closer inspection, Rei realized that the ink was actual silver, as in the precious metal.
'You are invited to attend the Christmas Eve party of G5, at the Winner mansion. Your presence will be greatly appreciated.
The party starts promptly at 7:00 PM.
Please do not be late.

Wufei Chang of the G5
H.Y., D.M., T.B., Q.R.W., & W.C.'
Rei turned her attention, as did all her friends to the beautiful yet intricate picture on top. A dark blue dragon formed a circle, its head near the tail at the bottom. On top, a black panther was leaping out at you; it claws extended and jaws wide open. On the right was a lion, on its hind legs facing the left. On the left was a cheetah, also on the its hind legs facing the right. In the middle, larger than the rest was a black tiger, walking towards. It head was low between its front legs, its knees bent, looking as if it would attack you at any given time.
Then her fingers passed over the insignia at the bottom. It was a beautifully detailed blue dragon like the one on top. Except it was twisting upwards, with the head facing towards and the front claws drawn.
Rei looked up at the sky. What did she get herself into?
======
Duo smiled as he sped up. His prey was in sights, moving fast to his standards. Duo felt the sand beneath his feet; it was slowing him down, no matter. A sinister and mischievous smile lit his face as he thought about a way to punish his prey for running away. A hunger and lust came into his eyes that made it a dark, unstoppable colbat purple.
With one last burst of speed, he saw his prey two feet away. He smirked and leapt into the air. A shriek broke the silence of the air as Duo grabbed his prey around the waist and forced them to the ground. His prey panted, as did he. His eyes lost that dark look and were replaced by one of joy and victory. A small and dangerous smile touched his lips.
"I got you."
His voice was mocking and joyous.
"Now you will pay for running away!"
With that, Duo began to tickle his victim mercilessly. His laughter mixed with the shrieks and promise of pain coming from his prey.
"DUO-HAHAHAHA- s-top! AHAHAHAHAAHAHA! Now!!!!!!!!"
Duo smiled down and continued. The prey, having enough, kicked Duo off. Duo landed with a thud on the floor. He didn't get a chance to rub his soar butt before his prey sat on Duo's washboard abs. She smiled down evilly.
"I've got you Duo."
"Now... now... Makoto..."
Makoto smiled before beginning to tickle Duo. Duo laughed beyond description as he threatened Makoto.
"COME ON MAKOTO!!!"
Makoto only smiled mischievously before continuing. Duo had enough; she would not best him. Duo pushed Makoto off and sat on her hips. His legs held hers down with his and held her wrists in his hands above her head.
"That would teach you not to mess with me... now doesn't it?"
Makoto was shocked at the husky tone that Duo took on. She gulped. That gleam in his eyes were not one that she liked. Duo slowly bent down, and whispered into her ear.
"I've got you."
Duo pulled back and attacked her lips savagely. His lips pressed against her, pleading for more, sucking her soul and her passion. His lips begged for her gentle kisses, the warmth that only she could provide.
Makoto felt Duo's full lips crush against hers. With such intensity and force that she did not dare to pull away. She felt his hunger and lust for her, so great. And she returned is lust and desire with her own deep and endless hunger, the hunger for him.
Duo suddenly broke away from Makoto's lips. Makoto looked up, confused as his actions. Then Duo bent down again, covering her face with butterfly kisses. Makoto giggled.
"Duo stop! Come on!"
"But I thought you loved my kisses."
"I do! But you're slobbering all over me!"
Duo pouted and stood up. Without another word he walked down the beach, leaving Makoto lying on the sand, clearly confused. She quickly stood up and dusted off any sand that got on her long white sundress. She watched with concern as Duo's shoulder slouched and he walked quickly away from her.
"Duo!"
Makoto ran quickly to Duo's disappearing back. She slowed down and matched his speed once she caught up with him. She looked at him with concern shining brightly in her green eyes.
Out of the corner of his eyes, Duo could see Makoto's concerned face. His attention directed itself involuntarily to her eyes. Those deep green eyes, now brimming over with worry and concern. For him. Duo sighed. All for him, he didn't deserve such beauty that Makoto held.
"Duo... what's wrong?"
He could tell that Makoto was desperate. HE sighed again. He turned to her slightly, and the frown disappeared. A small, fake smile appeared on his slightly provocative face.
"Nothing. Sorry, just out of it."
Makoto seemed to relax, but she was still worried about his change of demeanor. His eyes seem distant, unlike the usual happy and mischievous violet eyes she knew and... loved.
"What's on your mind?"
"A party."
Makoto nearly choked. A party? What's so troubling about that? Dancing, fun, friends... drinking.
"What's so bad about that?"
"It's a different kind of party."
Makoto almost laughed again, parties were the same. But then she saw the serious gleam in Duo's eyes.
"How different is it?"
"It's... the high class aristocratic kind."
Makoto froze. Why would Duo be going to those kind of parties? Duo saw the questioning look in her eyes.
"I do have to make a living Makoto. And unfortunately, in my business, the formal parties come with it."
For the first time, Makoto saw the serious side of Duo Maxwell. She never really thought about Duo having a job, or any troubles since he was always playful and joyous.
"What's to worry about? You've done this sort of thing before right?"
Duo simply nodded, his demeanor didn't change. Makoto was now more confused than ever. What was going on?
"Will you be my date tot he party?"
Makoto went weak in the knees as she practically fell face flat in the sand. Duo's quickly relaxed allowed him to catch her by slipping his arms around her waist.
"Are you okay?"
"Y-Yeah."
Duo smiled slightly.
"Come on, just because a handsome guy like me asks you to his party, doesn't mean you go all weak on me! Not that I blame you of course."
Makoto smiled. Duo was so strange. One minute he was serious, the next he was joyous and happy.
"So what's the answer?"
Makoto looked into his pleading violet eyes. She sighed; who could resist Duo Maxwell's puppy eyes?
"Yes..."
"Great!!!"
Duo's hands shot into the air. His eyes were brimming with happiness as his heart danced. Then he realized something... there was a missing weight...
"DUO!!!"
Duo quickly panicked and looked down. Makoto was sprawled on the floor, glaring at him. Now he remembered! He was holding Makoto!
"YOU WILL DIE!!!"
Duo gulped. He saw the killer look into Makoto's eyes and ran in the other direction, with a very angry huntress after his cute little behind.
~~
Makoto sighed as she sat on her bed. The room had a dark green scheme as the color covered all the room and the bathroom.
She looked at the invitation that Duo had given her. IT was a rectangular hard paper, with a beautiful blood red border. The lettering was golden. Makoto gasped, it was actual gold! She read the invitation.
'You are invited to attend the Christmas Eve party of G5, at the Winner mansion. Your presence will be greatly appreciated.
The party starts promptly at 7:00 PM.
Please do not be late.
And it is formal dress if you please.
For entrance, show this invitation at the door.
Address: Thirteen Park Drive on G5 Avenue.
From,
Duo Maxwell of the G5
H.Y., D.M., T.B., Q.R.W., & W.C.'
Makoto blinked a few times. Duo was right, talk about aristocratic party. Something caught her eye on the top. It was a beautiful and ancient looking crest. A dark blue dragon formed a circle, its head near the tail at the bottom. On top, a black panther was leaping out at you; it claws extended and jaws wide open. On the right was a lion, on its hind legs facing the left. On the left was a cheetah, also on the its hind legs facing the right. In the middle, larger than the rest was a black tiger, walking towards. It head was low between its front legs, its knees bent, looking as if it would attack you at any given time.
'What a strange and intimidating crest.' Makoto thought as her fingers ran over the whole thing. She saw a bit of black at the bottom. Lifting her fingers, she gasped. There, was a black panther, like the one on top. Its eyes were a deep blood red. It was walking towards, like the black tiger on top. Its mouth was open, as the sharp fangs were sharp.
"What?"
Makoto quickly put the invitation away. True it was beautiful and breath taking, but it also struck a sense of fear in her that vampires did not. Ignoring this feeling, Makoto walked out to join everyone in the living room.

Ami sighed as he leaned against the tree. Trowa's head was in her lap as he slept. It was about 2 in the afternoon, and the two were currently under a huge willow tree in the park. IT was a Sunday so all the kids were running around the park. Joyous laughter and screams of joy were heard everywhere as kids started running around, despite the frigid weather. However the two under the tree were completely unfazed. They were wrapped up in their own little world. Trowa in the sweet land of dreams, while Ami was in her own world, looking at the peaceful Trowa while he slept.
Ami smiled sweetly as she ran her hand through Trowa's gravity defying bangs. Her smiled widened when a small smile of content appeared on the peaceful slumbering Trowa's face. Ami sighed with contentment, leaned against the tree, and closed her eyes.
Trowa opened his eyes lazily and smiled at the sight that welcomed him into the land of reality.
'I must be dreaming...' Trowa thought as Ami's petite and mesmerizing face. A soft smile touched Trowa's lips as he reached upwards. His whole body awoke as his fingertips touched the soft and tender skin of Ami's cheek.
"Beautiful..."
The sleeping girl stirred. As Ami's light blue eyes slowly opened, she automatically looked down. All remnants of sleep escaped her body as she stared into the most amazing emerald eyes she had ever seen. Ami smiled as Trowa ran his right hand through her short blue hair.
"Did I wake you?"
Trowa's soft and tender voice warmed Ami's heart. She shook her head gently.
"I wasn't all that sleepy, but seeing your peaceful sleep, I guess it lulled me to sleep."
Trowa nodded as he made a move to get up. But Ami's small and pale hand pressed gently against his shoulders, making him lay still.
"You seemed tired this morning. Hold still."
Trowa nodded and settled back into Ami's lap.
"I have a better idea."
"What?"
Trowa smiled.
"Come to my Christmas party tomorrow night."
Ami blushed. She didn't see why she wouldn't go. Trowa felt his heart soar as Ami nodded. He smiled as he sat up. Trowa sat next to Ami, facing her. Slowly, he leaned towards her. Ami closed her eyes, waiting for the moment when Trowa's lips would be on hers.
The two felt something stir inside of each of them as Trowa's lips came in contact with Ami's soft ones. Trowa gently pressed against Ami's lips, caressing and massaging them, Ami felt her heart soar, his tender kisses...
The two pulled away, staring deeply into each other's eyes. They both saw the love shining brightly in the others' eyes. Almost at once they leaned toward again, pressing harder, with more of a lust and passion. Trowa felt his senses come alive, as his tongue gently touched Ami's lips, beckoning for her to open her mouth. Ami obeyed quickly as Trowa's tongue slipped in.
Minutes later they pulled away, breathless and completely amazed. They looked into each other's eyes again. Ami blushed while a shy smile appeared on Trowa's face. Without another word, Trowa leaned against the tree, and Ami into his chest. His arms gently rested against Ami's stomach. Remembering the invitation, he removed the envelope from his black jean jacket.
Ami looked at him and saw him nod. She turned her attention to the white envelope and removed the crest on the back. Pulling out the invitation, her eyes widened. The paper was hard, with a beautiful and thick forest green silk border. She looked at the beautiful script writing in silver.
"Is that actual silver? As in the metal?"
Trowa nodded. Ami looked once again at the paper in her hands. She read it.
'You are invited to attend the Christmas Eve party of G5, at the Winner mansion. Your presence will be greatly appreciated.
The party starts promptly at 7:00 PM.
Please do not be late.
And it is formal dress if you please.
For entrance, show this invitation at the door.
Address: Thirteen Park Drive on G5 Avenue.
From,
Trowa Barton of the G5
H.Y., D.M., T.B., Q.R.W., & W.C.'
Ami looked at Trowa once again.
"What's with the whole fancy invitation?"
"Well, it's an aristocratic party, tuxedos, gowns, the whole nine yards."
Ami nodded and looked at the chest on top. IT was the same as the one on the back of the envelope. A dark blue dragon formed a circle, its head near the tail at the bottom. On top, a black panther was leaping out at you; it claws extended and jaws wide open. On the right was a lion, on its hind legs facing the left. On the left was a cheetah, also on the its hind legs facing the right. In the middle, larger than the rest was a black tiger, walking towards. It head was low between its front legs, its knees bent, looking as if it would attack you at any given time.
"This is... beautiful."
"It's our insignia."
"'Our'?"
"My four friends and I. We are known in the business world as the G5."
Ami nodded.
"It looks old."
"It belonged to our ancestors. It is from long ago."
Ami nodded. Judging from Trowa's voice, he didn't want to talk about it.
"What about the lion on the bottom?"
They both looked at the insignia on the bottom. It was an ancient drawing of a dragon. Its body was the deep orange color, while the mane was a deep red. It was facing the right. Its head was turned out towards her, and she saw that the eyes were deep green, like Trowa's. The right paw was up, and the long claws extended. The mouth was open, like it was roaring.
"That's my crest."
Ami simply nodded. She didn't want to press it any more. She felt Trowa's arms tighten around her waist. Ami smiled and snuggled against Trowa's chest. They seemed to mold into one another.
"You are my dream come true..."
Ami looked at Trowa, who simply smiled and blushed. She kissed her forehead and sighed.
"You are the one I've dreamed of forever..."
Trowa smiled at her answer. They simply closed their eyes, as the world around them slipped away.
Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, and Duo sat around the couch. The presents were under the huge Christmas tree in the huge ballroom. IT was simply overflowing with presents, big and small. Trowa was still in dreamland, thinking about the kiss with Ami this afternoon. Wufei was not as arrogant as usual, Christmas touching him, as well as the thought of Rei at the party tomorrow. Quatre was frowning, he had to give Minako a really good present on Christmas to make up for what happened today. Duo was deep in thought, thinking about the mood he had been while with Makoto.
The guys looked up as they heard the door slam. IN walked Heero, grunting, with a thoughtful look.
"Hey Heero, were the malls busy? Did you get us good presents?"
Heero glared at Duo before hanging up his coat. Soon, he joined the others on the couch. Sitting next to Trowa, he looked at the dreaming man.
"I suppose everyone has someone to invite to the party judging by the faces?"
Everyone turned Heero, who was looking around. All the boys nodded. Duo smirked at Heero.
"You?"
Heero grunted.
"None of your business."
With that, Heero walked upstairs. Duo smirked.
"Heero doesn't have a date!"
Wufei smacked Duo on the back of the head before returning to his thoughts.
All the girls sat around the kitchen. Steaming cups of hot chocolate in front of them. Hotaru looked around.
"Where's Setsuna?"
Michiru looked at her.
"She's on a business trip."
All the girls nodded. All at once, they began to speak.
"I have somewhere to go tomorrow sorry!"
They looked at one another and blushed. Haruka and Michiru laughed.
"Good, because we have a business party tomorrow. All the girls stood up to go to bed, it was late.
'A business party... can it be?'
Makoto, Minako, Hotaru, Ami and Rei all thought.
'Nah!'

Oh yeah, to Lady Alura, yeah, our Hee-chan is a kawaii vamp. Well, if you'd carefully look at chapter 14, there's a part in there, where one minute it's the Gundam boys. And the next minute it's the Supreme Gods. And since the Supreme Gods are vampires, the Gundam boys are vampires. Sorry if it confused you. IF it does, feel free to email me at DevilzAngel72@aol.com.
