WARNING: RELENA BASHIN'!

This fic is getting a mind of its own. My _fingers_ are getting a mind of its own. Excuse this chapter - I wrote it while I was braindead (and the sad thing is... this is the fourth or fifth version I wrote... each stupider than this one... sigh...). I don't know what's wrong with me... sigh... I'm even too tired to praise those who bothered to give me comments... TT I'll mention y'all in the next chapter... too hard... (the votes, too...)

CHAPTER 10

"Oh... hey, Yotan, Schuldich!"

"What do you mean, 'Oh, hey'?! You just kissed Crawford - willingly!"

"Well... kinda, but not really."

"What?"

Ken showed Yohji and Schuldich the soccer ball. "He told me that he wouldn't give it back unless I gave him a kiss."

"But it was his own choice to kiss my _lips_ instead of my cheek."

"I was tricked!"

"Was not."

Ken glared at Crawford before stomping off to the field. "'Nii-san!"

Ken turned around to face Duo. "N-nani?"

Duo smiled at him, saying, "You don't mind that I call you that, right? Because you remind me of my deceased brother..."

Ken nodded woodenly, saying, "Of course..."

"Arigatou!" Duo ran off happily to join Heero and Wufei on the field. Yohji put his arm around Ken's shoulder, worried.

"Daijoubu, Ken?"

"I... I was so afraid. I thought that he found out... Kami-sama..."

"Oi, you two. What are you talking about?"

Ken screamed in fright when Schuldich suddenly stuck his head between his and Yohji's. "Jesus Christ, Schuldich! You shouldn't sneak up on people like that!"

Schuldich stuck his tongue out at Yohji. "Well, it looked like you two were having a 'moment.' Now, I can't have that, can I?"

Ken just gave him a pat on th e head absent-mindedly and headed towards the field to play with Duo, Heero and Wufei. "Did... did he just _pat me on the head_?!"

"Yes."

"I can't believe he just did that. Even a kiss on the forehead would have been better."

"You're right."

"What's going on, anyways?"

"Ask Ken."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ken laughed as Duo accidentally hit Wufei with his long braid. "DUO!"

"Eh... Gomen-ne, Wu-chan. Didn't mean to do that."

"I'm going to cut that long hair of yours someday!"

"But, but... Wu-chan, you told me that you loved it..."

"WHEN?!"

"Well... in bed."

Wufei blushed, stuttering. "D-did not! What the hell do you m-mean by b-bed?!"

Duo pouted and gave him a kiss on the cheek. "You're so cute when you blush, Wu-chan."

Heero burst out laughing, unable to control himself. Duo turned around to look at him with sparkling eyes. "Heero, you -"

"HEE-CHAAAN!"

All three teens paled collectively, Heero a bit more than the rest. "How'd you find me?! I'm sure I covered everything!"

"Why, Quatre-kun's father let me know where you were! Hee-chan, daaaiiisu-"

Heero groaned and pulled out a gun, it being his bad habit when it came to Relena. Yohji, Crawford, Schuldich and Ken automatically got into their fighting positions, Yohji quickly pulling out his wire, Crawford and Ken putting up fists and Schuldich scowling (killing with the mind can be hard work...). Duo and Wufei looked over at them in surprise - usually people ducked or ran.

"Eh... Ken Nii-chan, it's all right. Hee-chan knows how to handle it all..."

Ken glanced at him and Duo was shocked to find Ken's eyes hard and icy. "Nii-chan...?"

"Hee-chan... you... you want to kill me?"

"Iie, I want you to LEAVE ME ALONE."

"Datte, I thought that you loved me!"

"I never loved you, you sniveling, bratty blond!"

Duo whispered very loudly to Wufei, "Wu-chan, we only hear him talking this much when we're in bed, ne?"

Wufei chuckled and nodded. "You're right, for once."

Relena heard and her eyes flashed. She glared at Duo, quickly stepping towards him. She raised her hand to slap him, crying out, "This is all YOUR fault! You stole him from me!"

She was about to bring it down when Ken grabbed her wrist and he snarled, "Don't you _dare_ try to hit him again. I will _kill_ you."

"Ken!"

Ken flung her wrist away and smoothed some baby hair away from Duo's forehead. "Daijoubu, Duo?"

"H-hai... You didn't need to go that far, Ken Nii-chan."

"No one's going to hurt my Duo while I'm around..."

"YOUR Duo?"

Heero glared at Ken, who grinned back at him. "Hai, MY Duo. Of course, I mean it in a different way than you and Wufei-kun do. Hahaha."

"Oi, Relena."

"What do you want, 05?"

Wufei glared at her, saying, "For one thing, don't call me that again. I'm Chang Wufei now. And another thing... Duo's not the only one who stole Heero from you, baka onna."

"Nani? What are yout alking about?"

Wufei gave her a sadistic grin and grabbed Heero, giving him a kiss, putting as much passion and lust he could into it. Within seconds, Heero was writhing and groaning under Wufei. Relena let out a shocked gasp before fainting.

"Hey, I really wanna play now."

"Yea, me too."

"Hn."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Relena came to by the time they were finished with their game and Wufei pointed to a car in the street. Relena paled when she saw someone get out of the car.

"'Nii-chan! What... what are you doing here?"

"Relena! Didn't I tell you not to contact the Gundam operatives ever again?! They're done - they're retired!"

Duo, Heero and Wufei looked slightly panicked, giving glances at Ken, Crawford, Schuldich and Yohji. Ken, Crawford, Schuldich and Yohji just watched silently, standing sitll.

"Who told you where they were?!"

"I... Quatre's father!"

"Wh-what? Why in the world did he tell you?! I told him not to tell ANYONE!"

"I... I told him that you told him to..."

"YOU WHAT?! OF ALL THE STUPID, SELFISH, IDIOTIC THINGS TO DO, YOU HAD TO DO THAT?!"

"But... But I don't see what's wrong with it, Nii-chan!"

"You don't see what's wrong with it?"

"Hai."

"What're you going to do when people come after them because they've figured out who they were, Relena? Because people track you just to find out where _they_ are. Why do you insist on putting their now normal lives in danger?"

"D-datte, I-"

"You love 01? It's a stupid crush, Relena. Get over it."

"'Nii-chaan!"

Ken suddenly stepped forward. "Excuse me? We're just going to go now... I suggest that you take this squabble somewhere else where people like ESTET can't hear you!"

"How do you know about... about Estet?"

Ken sighed. "None of your business. We'll be leaving now."

"I'm afraid that it's very much my business." He pulled out a gun. "If you don't tell me right now how you know, I'll have to kill you to make sure that security is ensured."

Ken sighed. "WeiB."

Relena's brother dropped his gun in shock. "W-who?!"

"WeiB."

Relena scowled. "What the hell is that? You bruised me, you ugly brunette."

The serious mood was broken and Wufei and Heero burst out laughing. Duo's eyes widened in shock and Ken's suitors' jaws fell to the ground. Ken was frozen with shock.

"U-ugly...?"

"Yea, ugly. Ugly ugly ugly ugly ugly!"

Ken swallowed audibly before replaying, "You want to see ugly? Look in the mirror, you bitch!"

"Ken!" Schuldich hurried and started to pull Ken away from Relena before Ken could put up his balled fists. Crawford and Yohji nodded at him as Schuldich ran away with the fuming Ken.

"Ah... ignore what just happened. And you... don't be so shocked. Just keep Relena away from Duo and his friends..."

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ken grumpily kicked at the sand and pouted. "Why'd ya take me away? I was just getting warmed up!"

"Ken, she's just a stupid teenager. And besides... I have something fun planned for us."

"Schuldich, I know what your idea of fun is and I want no part of it."

"But Ken~ remember out date...?"

Ken thought back to it and sighed. "Fine, fine. You proved yourself to me that night. What're we going to do?"

"Let's walk on the pier."

Ken nodded and let Schuldich drape an arm around him. "I'm glad that it's winter... I love it when it snows..."

Ken and Schuldich laughed, when ten minutes later, snow began to fall. "This is perfect..."

Schuldich nodded and pulled Ken closer to him when he heard him shiver. "Are you cold?"

"Iie... daijoubu..."

Schuldich smiled happily and they continued to walk around the pier, looking into the stores and such.

"Waii... kirei..."

Schuldich peered over Ken's shoulder to see Ken looking at a glass figurine of a unicorn with awe in his eyes.

"Do you want it?"

"Un!"

Schuldich opened the door and walked in. "Schuldich! I'm all right, I don't need it!"

"I want to get it for you."

"But, but it's so expensive!"

"Ken, I'm so rich that I can by trillions of those and still live comfortably." Schuldich laughed and asked for the figurine. As they exited the store, Ken clutched the package tightly.

"Arigatou, Schuldich."

Ken gave him a kiss on the lips and blushed. "I... I've never really gotten a gift that I really really wanted before..."

Schuldich smiled goofily and put his arm around Ken's shoulder again. "It's nothing... I'm glad that you're happy."

Ken gave him a radiant smile before snuggling against him for more warmth. Schuldich's smile got bigger (if that was even possible) and they walked around the pier like that until it was late.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

When they returned to the Koneko, they found two people waiting for them. They sweatdropped when they sensed the dark aura around Yohji and Crawford.

"Where... were... you... two...?"

The eerie tint in Yohji voice made Ken shiver and hold his package tighter. "We went to the beach and walked around on the pier, why?"

Schuldich's cocky tone apparently ticked Yohji off since Yohji lunged for him. Crawford grabbed him quickly.

"Patience, baka Balinese. I'm sure Schuldich hasn't done anything to really get us angry. Why don't we sit down and talk about a few things about our courting Ken since every time someone seems to get ahead, we all lose our sanity?"

"Fine."

They all sat down at the kitchen table, Ken putting his package down gently and unwrapping it carefully. He beamed when he saw the figurine.

"Schuldich... Thanks again."

He smiled at the figurine dreamily and they all sweatdropped. "Ne, Ken?"

"Yea?"

"We're deciding how everything's going to go from now on... you should stay and talk."

Ken snapped out of his reverie and sat back down. "Hai."

"So, everything's going to be like this from now on..."

TBC... gomen-ne...

*Schu-chan runs around, tearing her hair out, swirly-eyed* "I DON'T KNOW WHAT HAPPENED! IT'S NOT MY FAULT THIS FIC IS GETTING BORINGER! IT'S... IT'S... IT'S FARFIE'S FAULT!"

WeiB and Schwarz: "WHAAAT?"

"He... he insists that it hurts God!"

WeiB and Schwarz: "Then resist him!"

"But he's threatening to kill me!"

Farf: "Did I not tell you to not tell anyone of our transactions?"

Schu-chan: "EEEEEEEEEK!"

*And that was the last anyone ever saw of the poor, deranged girl....*

I'll try to make the rules interesting... i promise... (but note: _try_)
