Acire opened her eyes and saw Duo sitting on a chair next to her bed. She smelled medicine and wrinkled her nose in disgust.
"Duo?" she asked groggily, sitting up.
"Yeah?" he asked gently while helping her up.
"What happened? Is Trin okay?"
"Yeah, she's fine" he replied and then briefly told her of what happened.
"Wow" Acire breathed, her eyes wide. "I've seen Trin do some crazy things, but this..."
Duo laughed. "I bet. Her and Heero would probably make a perfect couple"
Despite herself, Acire grinned.
"Probably. But Trin is too stubborn"
"Heero too" Duo nodded.
There was silence for a moment, then Duo stood up.
"Well I better go. You should get some sleep" he said.
Acire nodded and as Duo turned, stood up.
"Duo?"
He turned around and she kissed him on the cheek.
"Goodnight"
* * *
"Ouch" Trin complained as Heero dabbed a cloth soaked with rubbing alcohol at the scratches on her arms.
"Sorry" he replied in his usual monotone, however not changing what he was doing.
Trin was sitting on the bed in his room as he treated her cuts. As he finished with her arms she reached down to roll up her jeans but seeing how torn they were, changed her mind. Grabbing a hole just below her hip, she tore at the fabric and easily tore off the entire jean leg. Then she proceeded with doing the same thing on her other leg and soon her jeans turned into short shorts. She tossed the fabric aside and looked up to see Heero watching her.
"What?" she laughed.
"Nothing" he said, shaking his head.
Trin lifted her right leg onto the bed and noticed there was a large piece of glass implanted just below her knee. She wondered how she didn't notice it before.
Heero carefully dabbed the cut with the cloth and then without warning yanked the glass out. Trin bit down on her lip to muffle a cry, but forgetting that her lip was swollen she succeeded in hurting herself more. Mentally kicking herself, she turned away as he bandaged the wound. Her gaze fell on a photograph on his desk near the bed. She reached over and grabbed it. In the picture was a slim brunette dressed in a pink business suit.
"Isn't this Vice Foreign Minister Miss Relena Peacecraft?" she asked turning back to Heero.
He looked up briefly to see what she was looking at, then turned his attention back to bandaging her leg.
"Yeah"
"How did you know her?" she proceeded, not realizing she was prying him for information.
It seemed like he didn't hear her and just when she was about to repeat the question he answered.
"I was her bodyguard"
By the way he said it Trin knew he wasn't telling her the entire truth, but this time she didn't pry. She was still amazed Heero was starting to actually *talk* to her. When she first met him - was that really just a few days ago? - he wouldn't say more than two words, but now he even told her about his first mission. She couldn't believe that he entrusted *her* with something that she felt was very personal to him.
Her gaze softened as she realized she must have stepped into a sensitive area.
"Heero, I'm sorry" she said "it's was so tragic when she died a year ago"
He didn't answer and she put the picture back where she found it. Looking back at Heero she noticed he was looking at her top carefully, as if studying it. She raised an eyebrow, but he paid no attention to her. He reached over and moved her hair aside, then pulled something from her top. She looked at his hand curiously and saw that he was holding a small computer-chip-like device.
"A bug?" she whispered.
"A tracker" he answered.
At that moment Trin hated herself. She couldn't believe she was stupid enough not to check for one after that suspicious man brushed between her and Acire at the mall.
"This base has a shield around it that prevents any tracking signals from going through" he said "The best they could do is track you to this street, but you've seen for yourself how the base looks on the outside. It will take them months to track you down"
Trin smiled, silently thanking whoever built this place.
"But listen," he spoke again "Now that we know what they're willing to do to get to you, we should look at things differently. For one reason or another, one of us might not be with you when they attack. You need to know how to defend yourself"
He held up his hand to silence her as she opened her mouth to speak.
"I know you can fight, but you need to be better. Especially since Acire is not much of a fighter" he continued and she listened intently "What I'm saying is, I'll train you"
Trin looked at him incredulously. Was he serious?
"I'm serious" Heero said, as if reading her mind.
"Okay" she nodded.
Then her eyes fell on the clock on his desk. It was three a.m., no wonder she was tired. She covered a yawn and stood up
"I should go to bed" she said.
Heero nodded and stood up as well. Silently they walked through the halls to her room. She opened the door and stepped inside.
"You'll be okay?" Heero asked, remembering the incident that morning.
"Yeah" Trin nodded. "Goodnight"
"Goodnight" he replied and she softly shut the door.
Heero walked back to his room. On the way he passed Duo's room; his door was open. The braided pilot was laying on his bed with his head hanging upside down off the edge. Seeing Heero he grinned.
"How's it going, Romeo?"
Heero stopped and glared at him.
"Hn"
Duo laughed and in the process fell off the bed. Heero smirked.
"Trin and I" he paused. "are just friends"
With that he turned and left, leaving the braided baka on the floor; still laughing.
Were they just friends? Why had he told her about his first mission? *For the same reason you allowed her inside your room,* said a voice inside his head. The same voice that had guided him through hundreds of battles. The voice he had learned to trust.

Wufei stood in front of the mirror inside the bathroom connected to his room. The lights weren't turned on and room was dark. He placed a hand on his jaw and swiftly wedged it back in its place. His face twisted as excruciating pain erupted through the bone. He moved his jaw slowly to make sure it was set right and then stepped out of the bathroom. The girl had a good solid punch.
He walked toward his bed pulling off his shirt in the process. It felt as if his bones were on fire. He suspected Heero broke a couple of his ribs. `What was Yuy thinking?' he thought.
He knew he shouldn't have laid a hand on her, some of his honor was lost there. Wufei grunted. But Jesus, she was one disrespectful onna.
A/N: Well what do you think? I told you think chapter was going to be out soon ^^ Too much fluff, ne? Yeah I did my best there. I know I've asked this before but, is Heero really that OCC?! Because I got reviews saying he was sweet and such and I panicked. ::runs around the room panicking::
^^;;;;; ::SWEATDROPPS:" Before I forget, I'll be changing my author name from Misty to Arion, so don't get confused. lol I think that's it, please review! Ja!
Luv,
