Chapter 4- Mission
I got into a small black car as did Hiiro and we drove off towards a building. The building that should have gotten my Gundam last night. When we arrived at the run-down looking building I put my 35 magnum in the back waist band of my sweats and walked in threw the door, Hiiro in my wake. A guard showed Hiiro and I down a corridor that lead to my Gundam. Two large metal doors were opened as I walked in.
"Tsuki, good to see you again!" A man in a white coat with a bald spot hidden in a bad comb over of blonde hair said when he saw me.
"Uncle, it's nice to see you, I didn't know you'd accompany Chaos here." I replied giving the man a slight hug.
"Well, it is my favorite Gundam and it does belong to my favorite niece so I decided to come along." He said to me as we walked to a control panel.
"Aunt Hikari yelled at you again?" I asked, knowing full well that he was here because of that reason.
"Hai." He sulked momentarily then looked back to Hiiro. "Hiiro Yui, pleased to meet you, I trust you know your assignment." He asked.
"Hai." Was Hiiro curt response. I walked to the panel and pressed a button. Lights came on from all sides to show my Gundam, Chaos.
"What did you repair?" I asked as I surveyed my Gundam.
"Nothing. Everything is hopefully in working order, go and check it out if you want. Hiiro, you can go too." My uncle said.
"Arigatoo." I said, I looked back a Hiiro and nodded as if to say that it was okay for him to follow and look. I jumped into the open hatch and looked at the control panel and the two orbs and two pedals.
"Where are the controls for the arms and legs?" Hiiro asked from behind me.
"You're looking at them." I said pointing to the orbs and the pedals.
"How the heck do you get this thing to work?" He asked.
"Easy. I sit in the seat with the orbs in hand, feet strapped into the pedals. I move my feet to get the legs to move, and the orbs for the arms." I said as I sat down a demonstrated what I meant.
"How does it self-destruct if there is no button?" Hiiro asked quietly.
"My brainwaves. If I really want to self detonate, it'll do it. It doesn't matter if I'm in or out of the Gundam." I replied as I jumped from the hatch. I walked back over to my Uncle and waited for Hiiro.
"So do you have the missions for the rest of the guys?" I asked him.
"Sure do. Here you go." My uncle handed me another folder and I took out the paper and read it, I could tell Hiiro was looking over my shoulder.
"Anything else you need me to do?" I asked after I finished reading.
"Hai. I need you to spy on Ririna a little before-hand. That way you'll know when she is and isn't around her guards." He replied, handing yet another folder to me.
"Okay. Lets see here..." I opened the folder and read threw what I had to do for the next three nights. 'Oh dear lord.' I thought, I would've fainted if Hiiro hadn't been standing there.
"What?" I heard Hiiro ask. I mindlessly handed the paper to him over my shoulder.
~Paper~
'For the next three nights you will work at the Bayside Club as a singer. We have received word that one, Ms. Ririna Peacecraft, is there every night.'
~Usagi~
Hiiro took my arm and led me away from my uncle, "What's so bad about you having to sing?" He asked quietly.
"What's that supposed to mean?" I asked.
"You have a good voice, I know that for a fact." He replied.
"Well, it's not that," I said, pausing.
"Then what is it?"
"I'm... not exactly, um, err,..." I started to say that I had stage fright, but that would take away my 'perfect soldier' domineer.
"You have stage fright, don't you." Hiiro said it for me.
I turned a deep crimson, "Hai." I looked up at Chaos' crystalline eyes and sighed.
"Would it be better if the guys and I were there?" Hiiro asked me, taking my attention from the Gundam.
"We both know Duo, he'll blow the cover. Wufei stands out too much because of his temper. EVERYONE knows what Quatre looks like, Trowa is a clown, and I highly doubt that no one will recognize him. And you, well no offense, but you stick out a lot too." I told him, "I think I'd be the only one no one recognize because every mission I get my hair is a different style, color and length. Plus, I wear contacts that change my eye color." He looked at me with an eyebrow raised.
"So you think you is the only one who can dye their hair and change their eye color? Anyway, it would be safer if someone went with you." He told me.
"I agree." My uncle yelled from behind us. I turned and gave him the look I'd seen my aunt give him all the time when he butted in. He quickly shut up.
"Okay. You can go, I guess. I don't want the others to hear my voice..." I relented. Hiiro gave a faint nod and we walked back to my uncle. "Okay, mission accepted. Now, I just have one question."
"Go for it." He replied.
"Why do we have to kill her? I know some damn good reasons, but why?" I asked, this caused him to look up at me with a shocked face, I could tell Hiiro was giving me the same look.
"She is trying to get the Gundams destroyed and the pilots killed, including you...no especially you, Usagi. Ever since that fight, she's been out to get you." He finished what he was working on and looked back to me.
"Hai, now I remember." I muttered. I remembered that day all right, it was Ririnas birthday and I was there to make sure that no one but me, or the other pilots, killed her. She must've known who I was or something because she tried to throw me out. That's when our fight happened. She punched, I punched and knocked her out cold. I grinned at my uncle sheepishly, "She deserved to be punched out." I said.
"Oi." He replied, rolling his eyes.
I got into a small black car as did Hiiro and we drove off towards a building. The building that should have gotten my Gundam last night.
