A/n: In chapter 7 I put down that Duo's eyes turned silver but that isn't true in my story.  I accidentally did some cut and pasting and it ended up there.  Don't ask me how it happened.

Duo and Hilde sat in art.  They were supposed to be drawing famous pieces of

"You realize we could have just ditched this class if you had just addressed you're wishes on ulterior activities," Hilde whispered as Duo stroked the inside of her thigh with his thumbnail.

"This makes it more interesting," Duo coyly whispered into her ear.

.

"Even in death you're an ignorant bastard," Hilda chided, playfully slapping his arm.

"Well, I am the go-"

"God of Death Shinigami.  Yeah I've heard your lines now we really must work on drawing this bowl of fake fruit," Hilde insisted while picking up a red pencil.

"Damn, you're no fun anymore, Hilde!" whined Duo, grabbing a black pencil and scrawling his name on a sheet of canvas.

"That isn't what you said last night.  You said I was…very entertaining," Hilde responded, sly smile creeping onto her face.

"Well I can see you two are very chatty today.  I'm sure neither one of you will have any trouble making our new student feel welcome," said an irritated voice behind the jostling couple.

The pair glanced behind them to meet the art teacher, Ms.Carrol.  Standing beside her was Sally.

"Hello, my name is Sally," Sally said, voice dripping in a sarcasm that only Duo and Hilde could hear.

"Sally, you'll be sitting with Duo Maxwell, the boy on the right and Hilde Scheibecker, the girl on the left.  I hope everything goes well," Ms. Carrol  added and sauntered off to go annoy another group of perfectly decent people.

Sally pulled up a chair in between the couple and smirked sinisterly.

"So, what are we doing in class today?" Sally laughed as Duo groaned and shook his head lightly.

Heero Yuy pushed the fire escape doors open on the west campus.  He stared at the artificial sun and took a deep breath of oxygen that he did not need.  Heero pulled out a pack of cigarettes while walking into the artificial forest behind the high school.

'What genus decided that a forest behind a high school was a good idea?' Heero thought with a clever smile as he poked a cigarette into his mouth and lit the thing up.

Heero found that the nicotine dulled his overexerted senses when they became intolerable.

Heero transported himself up into the tree above him.  The leaves rustled a bit when he set on the branch.

"Enjoying yourself?" said a voice below him.  Heero's eyes opened slowly as he turned to look down at the voice whom had just addressed him.

Trowa Barton stared up at him, hunter green eyes wild with an unknown amusement.

"Who would've guessed?  Quiet Trowa ditching school to play in the woods," Heero chided after taking a long drag of the cigarette.

"Who would've guessed.  Logically insane Heero ditching school to smoke in the woods," Trowa said, matching his sarcasm.

Heero sniffed the air subtly.  There was something different about Trowa besides the fact that Trowa had taken off a year ago and hadn't contacted anyone since then.

"So, where have you been for the past year?" Heero asked.

"I've been bu-"

"Cut the bullshit.  Something isn't right about you, Trowa.  I don't expect for a minute that you would ever tell me what that 'something' is under these circumstances but, we can play an old game that Duo and I played when we were bored on a mission and wanted personal information," Heero stated, taking his index finger and shoving it onto the butt of the cigarette and letting the used object fall to the ground.

"I always knew you and Duo were gay," Trowa laughed.

"I could say the same about you and Quatre but since you weren't here you wouldn't know that Relena and I are more than a little close.  Anyways, the game goes as this, who ever can kick whose ass first gets to ask a question and the other must answer truthfully or else he must bend over and kiss his own ass," Heero explained.

"I didn't come here to play a stupid game, I came here for information and help," Trowa replied, kicking a pinecone on the ground.

"Then tell me," Heero started sniffing the air with exaggerated concern. "Why do you smell like you've played in the dirt?" Heero asked with a crooked smile.

"I'd never think that I would ever have the pleasure of meeting the great Heero Yuy," said an amused voice from some surrounding shrubbery.

"Damn it Aliysa!  Don't but in on my conversations!," growled Trowa as a dark haired woman wearing a violet sundress stepped from the bushes.

"Now I know why you haven't contacted Catherine yet.  She's going to be so pissed off," Heero laughed as he leaped out of the tree.

"I'm not my girlfriend if that is what you mean.  I'm the reason why Trowa quote 'smells like he's played in the dirt'" she said with growing anticipation.

"Please continue, I'm quite interested," Heero urged, leaning back on the trunk of the tree.

"Why certainly, vampire," she said with a slight sneer.

Heero raised an eyebrow. "Who's the vampire, bitch?" Heero said sarcastically.

Trowa whom had been silent for the past few minutes erupted into laughter.  Aliysa calmly stepped towards Heero and slapped him with more force then a girl had ever slapped him with.

"Listen blood sucker, I've been winning battles before you were cutting teeth so listen here before I show you the full extent of my rage!" Aliysa snarled.

"That's sure the way to treat a person you want help from," Trowa said, holding his stomach because it ached from laughing so hard.

"Help?" Heero asked.

"Yes, my friend here needs you're help to kill this vampire named Zan. She-"

"ZAN?  What the hell do you want from Zan?" Heero shouted.  The woods echoed his words in the dead silence.

"That was what I was getting at if you hadn't had been such a rude pain in the ass,"Aliysa grumbled.

"Tell me, what do you want from Zan?" Heero repeated, all traces of sarcasm and humor gone.

"I simply need his blood to make a cure for my suffering husband," Aliysa explained.

"So you want me to aid you in his destruction or, are you using me as a pawn to get closer to this vampire?" Heero asked, cobalt eyes radiating with question.

"Damn vampire intuation," Aliysa swore, kicking a tree and leaving a dent in the bark.

"If you're using me as a pawn to get close to Zan you're welcome to stick around just let me make this clear: that is all you have business about knowing when identifying yourself with my social circle.  Got that?" Heero said coolly.

Aliysa returned the cool look and nodded.

"Good then.  If you want more 411 on Zan, come to my apartment this evening, lets say around 9," Heero said and began to walk back towards the school.

"Wait!  How am I supposed to get there?" Aliysa wondered.

"I'm sure you've been spying on me long enough to know where I live," Heero called over his shoulder and disappeared into the morning's air.

Wufei walked into his 2nd period class, law.  He sat down in the back row where he usually sat and pulled out a pencil.  The bell rang and Wufei was eager to take notes and ace the pop quiz that was announced on the front board.

The teacher began to hand out scantron sheets as a tall girl with wavy brown hair stepped into the classroom.

She handed the teacher a small piece of paper and smiled.  Wufei knew who this girl was.

"Class, we have a new student in our class today.  Please, welcome Sally Po into our classroom community," said the windbag teacher.

A few snickers could be heard due to the 'classroom community' comment.

"Please, Sally take a seat next to Wufei, the person way in the back over there"

Sally smiled sweetly as she sauntered over to Wufei and sat in the chair beside him.

Wufei rolled his eyes but played along with the act.

"Are you enjoying you're day at L7HS(L7 high school)?" he asked with mock interest.

"Are you enjoying the snack bar here?" She shot back.

Wufei laughed coldly. "As a matter of fact, I am."

Sally made a disgusted noise and turned away from him.

'How am I supposed to react around her?  We disgusted each other enough when I was alive, How am I supposed to deal with her now?' Wufei wondered as he filled in the little bubbles on the paper in front of him.
