"The only woman in this place… How utterly, utterly depressing…" Usagi scoffed to herself, peering around the deserted shower room. With her fuzzy pink towel fitted tightly against her waist, a sighed escaped her lips. She had to admit; she was getting a little tired of being the solitary female among her ranks. Sure, she was always popular with the men, but being around them for long periods of time… Well, changed her point of view…

"Lustful, perverted, rude, coldhearted, grumpy…" She paused from her list abruptly, snickering at the mere thought of a grumpy Duo.

Usagi slid out of the towel and jumped under the showerhead, shivering at the coldness of the water.

"Damn men taking all the HOT WATER!" she shouted, banging a wrathful fist to the wall. She muttered a few curses and rewrapped the wrinkled towel around herself. "I'm never going to be clean with those morons about…"

Usagi slammed open the women's show room, red faced, and stamped loudly towards the men's. With an angry thrust of her foot, she booted the door impatiently. "Open this goddamn door, you stupid idiots! Or I'll break it!" she shouted.

"Go ahead, it's not our door."

Usagi flushed three shades of red. "This is your commander, Usagi Tsukino! If you lazy assholes don't move it, you'll have a fully-prepared woman in your change room!"

There was a noise of hesitant voices. Usagi tapped her foot, thoroughly vexed with the situation at hand. "This isn't some kind of joke. I'm not hesitant to see a bunch of naked idiots!"

"You called?" A taller boy appeared in the doorway, watching down on her beneath thick brown bangs. She looked back up at him, biting back a threatening giggle at the sight of his yellow towel.

She grinned, dipping her head in gratitude. "Yes, well, seemingly all of you men have taken all the hot water… Isn't there something you could to prevent such an offense?"

"Have a shower with us!"

"Nee, it'll be fun!"

"You just shut up!" Usagi barked violently, teeth bared. "I will not go in there with you stupid boys and expose myself!" She snorted and quickly returned her attention to the taller man. "I'll say this once, and quickly. If you don't give back the water, you'll have a very grumpy general after your asses in the morning, understood?"

He stared at her blankly, she stared at him in return. Without a word, he shut the door in her face.

"Tsukino, Maxwell, you are required in section C4. Tsukino, Maxwell..."

Usagi groaned in annoyance and flipped over beneath her heavy blankets. Using her index finger, she pressed one of the buttons. "On what business?"

"Emergency, Miss. There was a current break in."

Usagi paused a few moments to run it through her groggy mind. In a split second she pounced out of her cot, searching frantically for her gun. "Kuso!"

Usagi looked briskly towards the snoring Duo. She fumbled for her slipper, and quickly struck him across the cheek. "Didn't you hear the call, baka?! There's an emergency!"

Duo acknowledged her with a moan of pain, watching her struggle through the darkness. "You could have shaken me or something, Usa…"

"I have two slippers, so shut up and get a move on. I need you to retrieve Rebarbra, Barton, Chang… Do you think Yuy will attend? He never listens to me."

Duo shrugged. "He follows missions, not orders."

"Well, tell him to quit his bull shit. We need backup for this business… Quickly to C4, because I do not know what kind of hell I'll come across this time."

            "I have the backup you ordered, awake and ready for any action."

"Maxwell, shut up before you blow our cover…" Usagi snapped bitterly, eyes narrowed in focus. "I caught sight of two soldiers pass by here. They escaped with a quickened pace."

"You allowed them to flee, when they were right in front of you? Are you afraid of attacking?"

"No, idiot, whoever they were, one of them had a rocket launcher. For your information, Chang, if I attempted to attack in any way, it could trigger a massive explosion." Usagi paused in thought, clicking her tongue. "If my prediction is right, I could track down some clues… Tomorrow I have a scheduled meeting with Zechs, you see. There will be enough time for me to hunt down some information… But I will need the five of you. Relena Peacecraft will be accompanying me, as promised, but there are certain dangers that cannot be prevented to ensure her safety. I need you to protect the girl at all costs, keep her away from the meeting room."

"It could simply be a planned assassination… What happens then?" Quatre inquired softly.

Usagi grinned spitefully. "I'm glad you asked, little desert man. As far as assassination goes, I am indeed expecting it, but whatever happens, your mission is to keep Miss Relena away from that meeting. Not having a death wish tea party with me."

"You talk of death so freely, onna," Wufei snorted, almost with anger.

"I suppose you are correct… But no matter. We must follow through efficiently…" She paused suddenly, staring dazedly at Wufei, who stared back. "Oh, Kami! What the hell happened to your hair?! You look like some kind of… candy wrapper…"

Quatre blinked, eyes cast towards the empty corridor. "Ne, I've never seen Duo-san run so fast since he dropped Heero's toothbrush in the toilet…"
