Silver Dreams

Chapter One: Identity
Gin pulled at the uniform she'd been assigned and tried to hide hr disgusted look. The thing was nearly impossible to move in. She followed the ancient butler down the hall to the office Ms. Peacecraft used. He opened the door for her and she walked in.
Relina was sitting in her desk with a pained look on her face. Her arm was wrapped up and in a sling. But she managed to smile. "Good morning." She said.
Gin looked around the room as she responded. "Good morning to you to. Is your arm feeling better?" She asked. She couldn't care less if her damn arm hurt or not, but it was in the script. Her eyes wondered over the five boys standing in the room. They lingered over one in particular. He noticed her look and glared at her.
Relina nodded. "Yes it is, thank you." She said. She picked up a sheet of paper from her desk. "Here is your schedule, Ms..." she looked at the paper. "Ms. Smith."
Gin tried her best not to wince at the name and managed to keep her face straight. Her trainer had decided on a name for her. Virginia Smith. At least it had part of her name in it. Instead, though, she smiled and took the schedule. "Thank you, ma'am." She said.
"I'll have Hiiro show you to your dorm room." She said. "Do you have any luggage?"
Gin nodded. "Yes, ma'am. It should arrive sometime this morning."
Relina nodded. "I'll have it sent to your room." She said. She motioned for Hiiro to come forward and he led Gin from the room.
Gin followed Hiiro out the door and down the hallway. While he walked, she studied him. From what little she'd gotten off the nets last night, she knew he'd been orphaned and adopted by a Dr. J. She couldn't find anything else except the information on his gundam.
"Are you good friends with Ms. Relina?" She asked.
He didn't say anything.
"It's not polite to ignore people." Gin said.
Hiiro stopped and glared at her. "It's not polite to stare either." He said.
"You intrigue me." She said simply. "Like, why are you so cold? And why are you and your friends so obviously guarding Ms. Relina?"
"You ask too many questions." Hiiro said. He turned and continued to walk. He stopped abruptly in front of a door. "This is your room. Class starts in an hour." He said in a monotone.
Gin nodded and went in, slamming the door shut behind her.

"I don't like her." Hiiro said.
"What's not to like?" Duo asked. "She's nice, she has a room right next to ours, and she's a babe. How can you not like her?"
"She asks too many questions that she shouldn't ask." Hiiro said.
Duo shrugged. "Whatever man. You know she totally likes you." He said. "I saw her staring at you back in the office."
Hiiro ignored his friend. He didn't trust that girl. Something wasn't right about her.

Gin leaned on her door as soon as it was closed. 'He may not be talkative, but he's hot.' She thought. Then her training took over and she dismissed the thought and started unpacking the bags that had already arrived. The first thing she unpacked was her laptop. She set it up on a table and turned it on while she unpacked the rest of her stuff. By the time she'd unpacked and put everything away, it was time for class. She left the room and locked the door behind her.

Hiiro watched as Virginia left her room for class. As soon as she'd gone, he went up to the door and quickly picked the lock. He opened the door and closed it behind him. The dorm room was still mostly empty, but he spotted what he was looking for. Her computer sat on a table, fully booted up. He went over to it and called up the last email she'd received.
He read the message, then reread it. He couldn't believe what he was reading. He had thought something was up with her, but not that. 'Failed you attempt to assassinate the Pacifist Relina Peacecraft'. 'due mainly to the Gundam pilot know as Hiiro Yui'. So she knew who he was. And she was the one who'd shot Relina. He closed the message and left the room. He needed to have a talk with this 'Virginia Smith'.
~
The class was one of the longest and most boring classes Gin had ever sat through. The professor, a substitute for Ms. Peacecraft, lectured on and on about how the only was to achieve peace was to throw out all the weapons. Gin felt the knife she carried in her boot with a foot. She'd been forced to leave her gun in her room for lack of place to put it. Finally, the class ended and Gin was free for an hour. The class had stretched from nine in the morning until noon. She grabbed her book and headed back to her room.
When she reached her door, she was surprised to see none other than Hiiro Yui standing there.
"What do you want?" She asked coldly. "I've just sat through three hours of lecturing and I don't need your cold stares right now."
"We need to talk." Hiiro said.
"We need to talk?" Gin repeated skeptically. "Since when do you talk?"
Hiiro waited while she unlocked her door and followed her in uninvited.
"I don't remember saying you could come in." Gin said. "Now I'm going to ask you to leave before I force you to leave."
"I'm not leaving until the threat to Relina is eliminated." He said. "And as far as I can tell, you're the threat."
Gin looked at her laptop that she'd left on. She could tell it had been used. "You broke into my room and searched through my stuff." She said. "I can have you arrested for that."
"And I can have you arrested for the attempted murder of Relina Peacecraft." Was his reply.
Gin looked at him in shock. "I have no idea what you are talking about." She said. "I would never try to do anything like that."
He didn't believe her. "I read that message you received 'Gin'". He said. "I know you're not who you say you are."
Gin sighed. She knew when she'd lost. "Fine." She said. "You know my secret. Now, what are you going to do about it? You could get the cops, but all evidence would be gone by the time you returned and I'd deny everything you say. Or you could attack me and try to knock me out. But I warn you, I'm not an easy opponent." She said.
Hiiro pulled his gun out and pointed it at her. (AN: Where does he get those things?)
Gin smiled. "Or you could try option number three. Hold me at gunpoint. But if you shot me, people would hear, and you'd be a murderer." She said. "You really have no option.
Hiiro ground his teeth. Why couldn't she be the normal, idiotic soldier he was used to. A soldier would be scared right now. But not her. She was a highly trained, practically fearless assassin. And she definitely wasn't scared of him. 'She's cute too.' A voice in his head said. He pushed it aside. Her voice snapped him out of his thoughts.
"Are you going to do something, or just stand there and stare at me?" Gin asked him.
Hiiro put the gun up. "Fine, You're free for now. But only until I can get you." He said.
"Good." Gin said. "Now that that's done with, you want some lunch?"
Hiiro blinked in shock. She not only wasn't scared of him, she was inviting him for lunch. His mouth reacted before his brain started working again. "Sure." He said. 'Why'd I say that?' He thought. Then his subconscious answered him. 'Cause she's hot.' He angrily pushed the idea away, but it refused to go. He watched her cook the food in the small kitchenette. 'Damn it.' He thought. 'I can't stop thinking about her.'
~
Gin stirred the pasta in the pot. "I hope you like spaghetti." She said. "It's about the only thing I can cook right now. I don't have any groceries yet."
"It's fine." He said from behind her.
She went over to the counter and got out a strainer. 'Why'd I invite him for lunch?' She thought. 'And, for that matter, why'd he say yes? God, he's hot. Even though he's out to kill me.'
