The Cold Warrior
Chapter 6-Swords and Water


I am finally back. From um nothing I have been here all a long but I
couldn't think of anything. But now I know what to do. On Friday, July 13, 2001
I will be leaving to Madrid, Spain with my cousin to meet her family (Relatives
of mine). Later I will go to Zauratz, Spain which is the coolest place. NEwayz
here is the ficcy!

#Classroom#

The morning announcements came on. Of coarse it was the everly annoying Relena.
(AN:Is everly a word?)

"School will be canceled today due to the Peacecraft
Games," announced Relena. "As some of you know I have a very sore neck and
will be getting an extra fifty points for my hard work."

Moans and groans were heard throughout the school. Hotaru smirked at the thought
that Relena-brat was once again cheating. Usagi's face was in a cold hard stare.
But she was looking into nothingness.

What was that dream supposed to mean?

#Dream#

Lights flashed, nine figures with clouded faces appear, gun shots ring out,
ki blasts are shot, blackness, yelling heard, nothing left, lights flash.

#Fencing Arena#

The crowd cheered as the two top leaders fought. Usagi was first to
make a move. Relena was a good oppenent but she knew she could finish her off
easily. Having a little of her own kind of fun the cold assasin did a few flips
while Relena tried to match her moves. Usagi was getting tired but Relena was
practically dead. (AN:Do you know the episode where Heero is fighting Dorothy
Catalonia and Heero cracked her mask?) Usagi cracked Relena's mask with the tip
of her sword. (AN:I don't know much about fencing.)

The next battle was between Hotaru and Usagi that ending in a dead even
forfeit from both sides. They would never battle comrades who were really close.

After that it was Hotaru and Duo. Duo had experiance in fencing that Hotaru
didn't.

Hotaru was stunned by his quick and precise moves but she didn't show it.
She thought she could handle it. They made a bet on the fight. If Duo won then
hotaru would go on a date with him. If Hotaru won then Duo would have to stay
away from her for a whole week.

Duo technique was quick and precise. One second later Hotaru was under
Her enemies sword. Duo smiled in his victory and her defeat. Still shocked she
Shook hands with him and before she turned around she slammed her fist into his
Surprised face. With that she left to the locker rooms. Still in hearing distance
Duo called, "I'll pick you up at 6:00 on Friday!!"

The matches continued throughout the day. Trowa and Quatre battled.
Trowa won. After them was Trowa and Setsuna. Setsuna was graceful and swift,
as was Trowa. I have to figure out a way not to hurt her I hope I don't
hurt him Bows were made and the match began. Trowa under estimated Setsuna
and found himself at her mercy. She forfeit the battle because she thought he
was a true warrior and should not have to be put through these dishonorful contests.

Trowa moved on to battle wufei in which they tied.

The final match was between Usagi and Heero. Being finalists gave them
an extra fifty points. Heero was the least bit intimidated. The swords clanged.
Usagi put in her best fight but she was tired of all the other battles. This
was only Heero's second fight. Heero did win but no angry thoughts or feelings
were exchanged.

#Hall#

(Hotaru's P.O.V.)

"Usagi do you think Relena will get away with cheating." "I can't take much
more of it." I hope I did good. I am going to hate Friday. Having to spend
it with Duo is annoying. But his is good at hand to hand combat. I'll ask him
how he learned to fight like that.

These are the new updated scores:

1.) Relena Peacecraft and Heero Yuy
2.) Usagi Moon and Duo Maxwell
3.) Hotaru Saturn and Setsuna Meioh
4.) Trowa Barton and Wufei Chang
5.) Quatre Winner and Stephanie Margalis
6.) Patrick Nardozzi
7.) Matthew Price
8.) Andrew Heston
9.) Brad Brass
10.)Lindsay Wood

I'm really pissed off right now. How can I be in third place?
I'm going to catch up. I know it. The next competition I have to get at
least second. And hopefully first. I think it is a swim meet.

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Earlier that day Hotaru and Usagi went to buy fast skin sprint speedo
body suits. Hotaru's was black with white lining. Usagi's was the blue with
orange lining and they were both the full body suits. (AN:Those are real bathing
suits. I forgot the style names they have. Each is like $140! And they only last
for three meets.)

"The events that will possibly be in the meet are 50 freestyle, 100 freestyle,
200 freestyle, 500 freestyle, and 1000 freestyle. 50 butterfly, 100 butterfly,
50 backstroke, 100 backstroke, 50 breaststroke, 100 breaststroke, 100 individual
medley (IM), and 200 individual medley," read the announcer, "You will be able to
vote which should be swam at the meet tomorrow."

Heero, Duo, and the boys went out to buy the fast skin suits after school. Heero
got the blue one that goes from waist all the way down to the feet. Duo got the
black one that goes from your waist down to your knees.

#Pool Stadium#

(AN: Everything is a stadium or an arena at the academy.)

"Hotaru, Usagi, look at what the prep is wearing," said Setsuna.

There was Relena in her rainbow bikini. It had waist ties, a back tie, and
neck tie. In was totally showing off her ugly pale skin like a vampire. (AN: I
would never wear a suit like that if I was that ugly. Let alone wear it at a meet.)

Relena, Heero, Duo, Hotaru, Setsuna, Trowa, and Usagi were all in the same heat in
every event.

"The votes are in the events that will be swum are 50 freestyle, 50
backstroke, 50 breaststroke, 50 butterfly, 100 butterfly, 100 freestyle, 100 IM,
200 IM, and the special swim is a 400 medley relay. The teams are Relena Peacecraft,
Heero Yuy, Patrick Nardozzi, and Usagi Moon. Hotaru Saturn, Duo Maxwell, Trowa Barton,
and Setsuna Meioh. Only these teams will be competing because they have the top
athletes in the games so far."

"Wufei Chang and Quatre Winner are not participating today because of personal problems."

Everyone laughed at the thought that Wufei would have personal problems.

Duo was talking to Usagi, hotaru, and the guys about something and all of a
sudden he said, "Watch this!" He walked over to Relena and says, " Let me give you
a massage baby." "Why not?" While massaging her, he loosened the ties on her neck and
back. "Never mind I have to get ready." Then he walks back to the group and snickers
quietly.

The first event was the 50 backstroke. The start began the meet, "Take your
mark....." beep!!!!!! They were off and the crowds laughed hysterically. Relena's top
came off to reveal her flat chest. She finished not noticing and then final she does.
"Shut the fucking hell up you bitches!" she screamed. Setsuna won that event.

50 fly was won by Wufei. 50 breast was won by Trowa. 50 free was won by Heero.
100 butterfly was won by Usagi. 100 IM was won by Hotaru. 200 IM was won by Hotaru.
100 free was won by Usagi.

The medley relay began with Usagi and Patrick doing the 100 fly. Usagi was in
the lead. Then it was Setsuna and Relena doing back and of coarse Setsuna was in the
lead. After them was Duo doing the 100 breast with Patrick Nardozzi. Duo won and by
that time his team was in the lead by a few milli-seconds. The last people to dive
off were Heero and Hotaru. But Hotaru wanted it so much more than Heero that
she took off like a torpedo and even set a school record of 50.53 seconds!
