Warnings: None at the moment

Pairings: Hmm.... Usagi/Wufei, Tora/Duo, and Tsuki/Heero

Disclaimers: I own NOTHING!!!! Lhea is MINE!!!!!!!!  Tora and Tsuki is LeaD!!!

        Three weeks has gone by and Tora hasn't been in school. Sure Duo was SLIGHTLY worried about her, but in truth he was still shocked and partly afraid. All the times he had fallen asleep at the girls' apartment with just her in the house she could've no he didn't want to think about it. It just urked him to even think about her doing such things. So lately he's been dating Hilde hopefully trying to rid himself of the thoughts he would have about Tora from time to time. Things were ok with Hilde, he just kind of wished she would stop the whole girly act and go back to her usually cool, calm and collected self. He sat up in acknowledgement that his friends had finally come to class and sat down. All four of them had disgusted looks on their faces.


"What's wrong with you guys??" Duo asked wondering what made them frown.


"Brad Johnson..." Were the only words to come out of Heero's mouth? (A/N: oh wow he TALKS some!!! ::grins:: ) Duo understood. Brad Johnson has a new girlfriend. He would always seem to have a new girlfriend and he would brag about her best qualities as well as her worse ones and he would dump them whenever he was finally able to get what he wanted from them... which usually was sex. Soon the bell rang and Brad walked into the class as late as always... only this time he had a girl on his arm. Everyone in the class had to stop and stare at this girl... she was wow. She was beautiful wit her long dark hair and dark eyes. She wore a body forming midnight blue dress and sandals that only accentuated the curves of her legs and a sparkly black jacket hung loosely over her shoulders.


"So I'll see you at lunch??" Brad asked with the hugest grin on his face.
"Sure... I'll see you then." She kissed his cheek making the usually ever so confident football star blush a bit. She walked over to her seat which was right behind Duo who was currently gaping at her. Just then two more figures walked into the room with glares present on their faces but they took their seat anyway.


"Excuse me..." Quatre spoke up at the girl. "Here are assigned seats and..."


"Don't worry about it!!" The girl said with a wink making Him and Trowa turn back around. "What are you three looking at?!?" She demanded from the other three pilots who were staring. The three turned back around but the class was still staring, even when Tsuki and Usagi sat down looking pissed as hell. The teacher walked into the room finally and began her lesson immediately. In the middle of a lesson there was a knock at the door. The door opened to reveal a dorky looking kid with huge glasses.


"Ummm, Yes I'm looking for Tora Tsukino..." The boy said.


"Tora??" The beautiful girl walked to the front of the room, knowing she was being summoned.


"Hai??" She looked at the boy.


"I-I-I a-am to escort you to the main office. There's a phone call for you, Ms. Tsukino??" He found himself tugging at the collar nervously as he turned a bright red.


"Don't be so formal, Marvin!!" She looped her arm in his and they walked out of the class closing the door behind them. Murmurs from around the class arose. After several attempts to quiet the class down the teacher gave up and let them have a free period.


"That was Tora?!?!" Quatre stared at the two left of the trio.


"Yeah..." Usagi said obviously angry with Tora.


"But... how??" Duo asked before he could stop himself.


"You wouldn't understand braid boy." Tsuki said apparently furious as well. None of them ever noticed the two figures hiding in the darkest shadow keeping away from the light as much as possible.


"She is beautiful..."


"Yes, Treize she looks like her mother. I can see why her father was willing to go after a human. Almost makes me jealous. Almost..."


"You're Vein Lheannan..."


"I wouldn't be queen if I weren't."

That's the way things had been all day. Usagi and Tsuki were furious and pissed with ever thing they heard about their talented and beautiful member of the trio. It eventually got old to them they were tired of girls wondering what had she done to make herself that beautiful. Even the popular wondered how she went from shy and quiet geek to the beautiful and outgoing, inhuman angel she was.


"So to the mall it is..." Tora said gently squeezing Brad's hand while chattering about with the girls in his circle.


"Tora... I want to talk to you now." Duo said in a tone that really got on Brad's nervbes.


"You don't talk to a lady that way, Maxwell" Brad glared at him.


"And you don't fuck and leave girls the way you do Brad." Duo said angering Brad without a second thought.


"What did you say?!?!"


"Brad; calm down." Tora said gently placing a hand on his shoulder. "I'll talk to him and then off to the Mall."


"Fine..." Brad said walking away.


"What the hell are you doing??"


"Being my true self."


"No, your true self is a girl with pigtails and reads manuals and..."


"Isn't beautiful?? Duo I told you when I first explained what Toreadors are. They're beautiful; the meaning of seduction and so on and so forth. Had you stuck around long enough I'd have explained everything but you played the role of a typical human be afraid of what you don't understand completely." She said glaring at him. "Now... I think your girlfriend is looking for you from the inside of her locker. The one I shoved her in oh say about just after lunch." She said and he looked at her while she shrugged and he walked away to free her.


"I didn't know braid boy knew..." Tsuki snuck up behind the girl.


"Well, now you do."


"Is that why you decided to do this???" Usagi asked. "To try and get him to trust you because of your looks it won't..."


"That's far from is Usagi dear." Tora said


"I just wised up. I mean sure I had fallen in love with the boy but point blank he couldn't accept the fact that I was different and neither will anyone else so why go through so much to hide the real me when it won't matter because I'm so different." She said as her eyes welled up with tears. She wiped them away before they fell and walked away.


"This isn't good..." Usagi said with a long sigh as she watching Duo walk out of the school building with Hilde.

Lheannan watched Tora and from the other side of the room as they talked; raising an eyebrow, it has seems that Duo, Tora, Usagi, and Tsuki hasn't seen her or Trieze who was standing behind her, placing comfort hands onto her shoulder she placed hers on top of his and looked up some, she and Trieze also knew that Mamoru had gotten to Duo, now she knows her plans are screwed up. Later she would go and talk to Tora, Usagi and Tsuki. With Mamoru a threat there is a chance that the girls are next, while Trieze tries and track down Mamoru.

Before Trieze left to find Mamoru even if Lheannan can get the girls to show their true self will be enough to defeat Mamoru? Putting his hands over Lheannan's hands and gave a small smile and walked out of the room to find Mamoru.

*~*~*~*~*~

Lheannan had gone and talked to Tora who had gone to sleep, and then she went to talk to Duo. However things aren't going that great between the two. The two had now gotten into a really LOUD verbal war. (A/N: Chibi: Hey anything can happen chairs flying and lord knows what else ^^)

"Tora is NOT half vampire!! HOW can you say she is when she's NOT!!! THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS VAMPIRES!!!!" Duo yelled keeping his ground while giving Lheannan a glare ever since that day when he was with Solo and the other kids he didn't believe in vampires.

"WILL YOU LISTEN TO ME!!!?" Lheannan semi growled then continued, "TORA IS HALF HUMAN AND HALF TOREADOR VAMPIRE!! VAMPIRES ARE REAL, WHAT DO YOU THINK I AM?!!" Lheannan yelled back standing her ground in this verbal war, even years of arguing with Xing or any of the other clan members and this was not going well.

"NO!! THEY DON'T EXIST!! ALL OF THIS IS A LIE!!" Duo continue to yelled then Lheannan growled in an inhuman growl and bared her long razor sharp fangs at him then said,

"Lies??" that had hit a sore spot on Lheannan as she continues, "Not real huh?? WHAT right do you have to say that my race doesn't exist!!! Does this give you proof that vampires are indeed real! I used to think the same but it is in fact REAL. EVER since THAT day you and your little mortal friends had spied on me when I was feeding!!! I should have killed you then and there!! But I didn't!!!" Yelled as Duo cringe when she had said that he knew he was in trouble now litterly, but Lheannan continued, "And here I really seriously thought you were smart enough to figure out that you live with 3 half-breeds as well a 1/3... I'm the mother of all the Toreador vampires as well many other clans and as well the Goddess Isis herself, the man that came and talked to you is a Hunter and his name is Mamoru Chiba and he needs to be silenced, because of him... He had killed my maker and my king... and my teacher..." at first litterly Duo tried not to remember what had happen that day but Duo from what he had read from one of the many books, this vampire did looked like the Egyptian Goddess Isis herself then he knew that this girl was the same from his childhood. This went on for 5 straight hours and the others (A/N: what the pilots are there and the Trio are asleep) had gather around to listen to Duo argue over something, when the pilots got there they saw the track coach and Duo yelling something about half-breeds then something about 1/3 something.

While Lheannan and Duo were arguing the same man appears. In his right hand he held a silver dagger that was forged in the holy waters of the Catholic Church and in his left hand a wooden stake made from an ancient oak tree. Mamoru charged at the two, only to nick Lheannan's pale skin which didn't do to much when Lheannan had sensed him and moved with speed not matched that of a human pushing Duo out of the way of both the dagger and the stake. With a nasty glare and a deep throaty growl and her long fangs bared Mamoru taunted, "why of all vampire, XueLing; what honour do I serve of her "Majesty" ah yes the honour of KILLING the Queen and MOTHER of Vampires, I already killed the "King" and I'll KILL you here then I'll go after THAT half breed!" Mamoru charged only to find himself without either the dagger or the stake. **Trieze, Mamoru is here and he is trying to kill me and Duo, he's going to go after Tora,  the pilots don't know that you're with me now and I don't want them to see you just yet... I don't know if Mamoru is going to go after Tora now that he knows that I'm onto him about what he is doing, stay alert and be careful watch for the Elders they might be in danger tell them that Mamoru is here.** Lheannan told her Guardian telepathically.

Lheannan manage to disarmed him of both the silver dagger and the stake, with out the aid of her Guardian who is with the Elders; the dagger had lodged itself right into the wall that was closest to Wufei whose eyes where the size of dinner plates as Lheannan displayed some ancient martial arts moves on the guy, then a loud sound of flesh being slapped all eyes where on Lheannan she had slapped the hunter HARD in the face, "Mamoru-Baka I'll KILL you for all the vampires you have killed, and if you dare to touch Tora!! Not only that I'll kill you for screwing up my plans!! Like you did all those years ago!!!" Lheannan bellowed as the pilots saw the man named Mamoru being forced into the wall with speed or a magical force that could kill a normal person. They wanted to know everything, and then they turned their attention to Mamoru who got up as it was nothing and sneered, "I'll be back XueLing, and I'll wipe YOU and the members of your clan off the face of the earth. Mark my words XueLing!!" Running over to the window Mamoru jumped out and vanished into the night.

Growling; fangs still bared, Lheannan was more than mad; in fact she was really ticked, Mamoru had not only had messed up her plans, he had called her by her Chinese name that hasn't been used in over thousand years ago, things are going to get harder plus dawn is 2 hours away, knowing all the other members of her court is going back to the Haven, due to most of them are still new borne and can't be out and about in daylight hours. The pilots stared at Lheannan; Lheannan then turned her glare towards the 1/3 Toreador and Duo, who happened to be Quatre and Duo. Quatre didn't know what was going on, in the back of his mind he felt like he had known Lheannan for years but doesn't know why she was staring at him as well the other pilots it made him want to goto a corner and hide, raising an eyebrow and trying not to cringe at the same time. Duo was trying to get out of Lheannan's glare. They wanted to know everything about the Trio and the one named XueLing. The name sounded Chinese and the others hope Wufei would know anything.

With a sigh Lheannan then calmed down a bit and then asked, "Please go get, Tora, Usagi, Tsuki they need to hear what I have to say." Trowa nodded slowly and went to get the girls, without a problem they went back to where the others are. Duo was still trying to figure out what the hell is going on when Trowa came back with the girls. Lheannan looked up to the girls then nodded then turn her gold eyes to Quatre then said, "Quatre, when I last saw you and the girls you where kind enough to be friends with Tora her sister and cousin without knowing what they were." Then she turned her gold eyes towards Duo and gave a semi glare then she continue, "Vampires are indeed real, as well as half-breeds (A/N: When I meant half breeds I also meant like anything that is half of anything else such as elves, and orcs) and 1/3 vampires, they are more common then werewolves, elves, dwarves, orcs, halfling, and gnomes. The girls are half-human and half-Toreador Vampire and Quatre is 1/3 Toreador Vampire...." Lheannan waited as the others gasps then she continued with a grin, "Duo, I'm still NOT pleased with you still..." the others raised an eyebrow at Duo who tried to hide, Wufei snapped,

"WHO are you ONNA!! What ARE YOU!!" Lheannan continued, "I'm as you see, I am indeed the Mother and Queen of the Masquerade Clan. I was the princess and High Priestess of the Wu Kingdom; the year was in its early 1200's. My full name is XueLing "Nastasia Wolf" Wu; I'm the daughter and High Priestess of the Wu Family. I'm from China; I live on the Chinese borders of the Himalayas. My Sire, my king and teacher; he was the Priest of a distant part of China, he was from Szechwan. He made me when I had just turned 22; he then told me that the Toreador Clan as well as the other clan needed a Queen, when he explained I took the gift and for thousands of years..." leaning on the wall looking at the others then a dark figure in a cloak of dark black velvet with a semi large hood but the hood was not up they could see the figure had short sandy colored hair appears next to Lheannan and says, "Mamoru has just killed one of the Elder of Follower of Setites... in his haven..."

When the figure spoke the pilots knew off hand that the figure was none other then Trieze Khushrenada knowing the pilots they had drew their guns and pointed it Trieze, but Lheannan was in no mood to mess around she growled, "Don't even think about it. You can't hurt us with those toys..." She then turns her golden gaze back at Trieze and sigh, "Followers of Setites..." (A/N: if you are lost on some parts Gomen but please read the Notes on the different clans, some might be accurate^^) then she turn her gaze back to the others, "Ah yes the feared and vaunted "masters of corruption." I might as well tell you about them. I was intimidated until I realized that "corruption" is catchphrase. It's like in the 1970's when "authoritarian" meant "our dictator" while "totalitarian" meant "their dictator." It's like when the CIA talks about "termination with extreme prejudice" or personal officer talks about "de-utilizing an employee." Or when we call ourselves "Kindred," I suppose. Anyhow, what "corruption" means is "getting back in touch with human stuff." Let's look at what the Setite's notorious "corruption" shtick consists of, shall we? Oh gee, sex? Oh, that's not any kind of throwback to mortal days. Drugs? There's another tool in their box that has masked humanity all over it. Knowledge? Possession? Those are all craving of the human half, not the Beast. Most of the Setites you're likely to meet are almost as familiar with their human selves as you and I. Their not as tasteful and stylish. They can be creepy, icky freaks, but they're creepy human freaks nonetheless. That describes about 80% the Setites – sybarites trying to cling on to the human pleasures that we get for free with our founder's curse. But there's a hard core to the Setites, and they've drifted free of their humanity. Them, you have to watch out for. The Malkavians have brought the lie that madness is wisdom; the most dangerous Setites believe humanity is a weakness. These few deal in pleasure not because they seek it themselves, but because they want to inflect it on others while hogging all the... what, evil? Baseness? "Corruption"?... for themselves." (A/N: This is from my favorite Clan book Toreador ^^ they have some of the funniest things on the different Clans lol!!) Lheannan looked over to the others who was trying to sort out what Lheannan had said, only to let out a long sigh as she watches the others, dawn was 5 minutes away but didn't bother her; she knew some of the older clan members who aren't dead yet are still out and about living like normal humans. Running her pale hand through her long hair and faces the large window as the pilots asked, "Don't you need to goto your coffin?" Lheannan then tilt her head and faced them, "only those who are new bornes can't walk in daylight, older ones are allowed to walk in daylight... like the Elders, Kings, and Queens are allowed." looking down on the streets noting some of the older members out and about going on with their life; frowning some knowing that Mamoru will try to kill them. "I take it you don't understand the Masquerade? Am I right?" looking back over to the others as they nodded, looking back down at the street.

"Well, where to start, as you know about the Setites there are about 13 different clans in the Masquerade alone..."
