Chapter 7: Truth Be Told
"You know, Rachel, you wouldn't have gotten hurt if you didn't swing that sword around." Cassie said to her friend as she cleaned the cut on her palm. What really happened was, the Wufei knocked his sword out of Rachel's hands, Rachel went to grab it again, and sliced her palm on the blade.
"HE provoked it!"
"I did nothing to provoke YOU, woman!"
"SEE?!"
Jake glared at his cousin who was currently being patched up by Cassie, and at the Chinese boy who Rachel had previously chased down the hall "Listen, and listen well." He saw Wufei smirk, "You too." He sent a potent look at Wufei, "This counts for both of you. Anymore fights break out between you two and I will personally morph into a Polar bear and kick your asses. This is NO time to try and kill the very people who saved our lives. Now I want a proper introduction, or I'll get pissy! If you don't like me now, you WON'T like me when I'm pissy!"
Everyone looked at him in shock. Jake rarely lost his temper, and as for their five saviors, they were surprised that someone like Jake could get good and angry, without getting loud and angry, which made his threats all the more potent.
"Umm, I'm Quatre Rebarba Winner."
"Must you always say your full name?" Rachel asked him.
"It's my name." Quatre responded.
"I'm Duo. Duo Maxwell. I run and hide, but I never tell a lie."
"I envy you." Cassie muttered to herself.
"I am Wufei."
"I'm Trowa Barton."
Doctor Doolitle, more likely. Man, thing guy's GREAT for fixing busted wings! Mine doesn't hurt at all!
"I'm Heero Yuy."
"Cool. Is that all of you?"
"Well, there's the forty Maguanacs, but you can find them later and introduce yourselves so they don't kill you."
"Pleasant chaps." Marco muttered, then looked up, "My name is Marco."
"I'm Jake."
"Rachel."
"Cassie."
Ax, call me Ax.
And I'm Tobias.
"Now. Everyone, play nice!" Jake said, glaring at each of them.
"See, Jake wouldn't be so mad if Wu-beast didn't provoke me into grabbing his stupid katana.."
"It's a DAO! NOT a KATANA! I am sick of you people confusing the two!!" Wufei shouted. He glared, then sighed, "Never mind, it's hopeless. You'll never understand."
I understand, Wufei. Ax told him, privately. Wufei glanced at him, surprised, then hurried out.
"I wonder what HIS problem is?" Duo asked as he watched Wufei rush out of the room.
