Chapter 3: A New Mission
The rest of the day in Furinkan went uneventfully for Yue except for the occasional nuisance. Yue sighed as she walked back to her apartment /Why can't that baka understand I hate him. Geez, I swear one of these days I'm gonna snap and kill him/.
-Flashback-
Yue was sitting under a tree at lunchtime enjoying the peace and quiet. She could see Ranma trying to shrug off his suitors. /I feel so sorry for that guy. Hey, wait a minute isn't that a guy? What is he doing fighting over Ranma?/ Yue looked over the 'guy' more carefully and saw that in fact 'he' was a 'she'. Although she was dressed up as a guy, it didn't hide her slender built. (AN: In case you haven't realised who it is by now, it's Ukyo)
"Ah! My beautiful silver haired tenshi, I see that you have decided not to ally thyself to the foul sorceror Saotome. For this I shall reward you by allowing thee to date me, the Blue Thunder of Furinkan High!" A thunder crashed behind him as he struck his pose.
Yue looked at him, disgust evident on her face. "First, I am not you silver haired tenshi. My name is Yue Maxwell or your brain is too small to remember that? Second, I will never go out with you, you delusional, egoistical, stuck-up, arrogant, selfish, insane imbecile!"
"Woah!" Ranma said. He was watching the confrontation between Kuno and Yue after getting away from his fiancees. The rest of the school agreed with him.
"You go girl!" A female student called out.
"Yeah! Tell him who's boss!" Another shouted.
"But-," Kuno tried to say before Yue cut him off.
"But nothing. I don't like you and I would never go out with you so you can just leave me alone," she replied icily.
"Ah, I understand. That treacherous fiend Saotome must have cast a spell upon thee. Never fear, tenshi, I shall defeat thee and break the enchantment. STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE! STRIKE!"
Kuno lunged at Yue with his bokken. He let loose a volley of fast stabs with his wodden sword.
"Yue, watch out!" Ranma cried. He quickly ran to her but he knew he wouldn't make it in time.
Yue heard Ranma's shout but ignored it. She concentrated on dodging Kuno's bokken. She tried to find an opening in Kuno's technique. Soon she found one but unfortunately she neglected her defence and the air pressure from Kuno's attack grazed her right arm drawing a bit of blood. She ignored the sting from the cut and struck at the opening with a hard kick. Kuno flew backwards at the force of Yue's kick and landed five feet away. He fell unconcious as his head struck the ground. Yue looked at the kendoist emotionessly. She held back quite a bit so she wouldn't kill him but she had almost lost control.
"Yue!" She snapped her head towards the voice. Her gaze softened when she saw a concerned Ranma running towards her.
"Yue, are you okay?" Ranma asked when he got to her side. He started examining her body for any injuries.
"I'm fine," she replied. "He didn't hurt me."
"Then where did that cut come from?" Ranma demanded.
"Huh?" Yue asked. She looked down on her right arm and her cut was still bleeding a bit. "Oh, it's nothing."
"What do you mean it's nothing?! You could have been killed!" Ranma exploded.
"I could handle myself just fine," she replied coldly. /How dare he?!/
Ranma sighed and calmed himself down. "Sorry, I'm just worried. I don't want you to get hurt."
Yue felt her heart flutter. /He's worried about me?/. "I understand. Thank you." She gave him a sincere smile. It wasn't one of those fakes she used when she was being polite or when she was faking her emotions. It was a true smile.
"Huh? For what?" Ranma asked confused. Although his face grew hot when she smiled at him. /Those lips looks delicious. I wonder what they taste like. Gah! Saotome, control yourself!/
"For caring," she replied before walking away.
-End flashback-
/It's been a long time since anyone is truly worried about me or cared for that matter. My heartbeat quickened everytime I'm near him. Could I be falling in love?/ she wondered. She shook her head /No. I won't fall in love again. Not after what happened with HIM. Anyway, Ranma has enough fiancees to worry about. I don't want to cause him more trouble. I'll just be his friend/ She thought firmly. She had been so lost in her thoughts that she passed her apartment without noticing it. By the time she realised that she had to walk back for another five minutes. /Damn! I have to stop daydreaming. I could get killed if that happened in a mission/.
She walked inside her apartment and went into her room to change her clothes. The place was nice and small. It suited her because she didn't like to spend her time cleaning. After she got changed she turned on her laptop and checked her e-mail. She had one from Dr. J. She opened the e-mail and started reading.
===Pilot 06,
Lady Une found out about you and had contacted Quatre, your twin brother. He and the rest of the pilot will be coming to Nerima tomorrow. ===
"What?! the pilots coming? Oh, shit," Yue swore. She knew they will want an explanation as to what happened when she disappeared. She didn't think she could tell them that especially Heero. He will go on a killing spree if he finds out. She quickly read the rest of the e-mail.
===There are rumours about an OZ base being built in Nerima district. Try and find out as much as possible about this. Mission accepted or declined?
Dr. J===
/A new OZ base? That's weird. I thought OZ was gone/ She typed 'Mission accepted' and sent it back. She went through the rest of her mail and didn't find anything except junk mail. She deleted them all and turned off her laptop. She laid back on her bed and started thinking what she was going to do tomorrow when her brother and the other pilots came. /I could just keep silent but I know that they will keep pestering me until I tell so what can I do? Arrgh! How could they find out? This is so frustrating. I'll decide tomorrow. Right now I better do my homework/. She smirked at this thought. /If Luna heard me saying this she'll probably get a heart attack. So will everybody else actually. I can't believe how much I have changed. To think that I have the Inners to thank for this/ she thought bitterly. She shook her head to stop the thoughts and started in her homework.
* * * *
"I have registered all of us to Furinkan high school. All of us except Trowa will be in Yue's class," Quatre informed the rest of the pilots. They were all boarded on Quatre's personal jet to Nerima.
"We have to go to school?" Duo moaned. School was not his favourite past time. He hated studying.
"Yes. I don't know where Yue lives so we have to talk to her first and the only way is by going to her school. I'm sure it won't be that bad, Duo," Quatre tried to assure the braided boy.
"Nerima, Nerima...Where have I heard that name before?" Wufei pondered. The name seemed very familiar to him but he can't work out where he had heard it before.
"Nerima is the only place on Earth behind times. It doesn't have the modern equipments some of the colonies have. That's also the home of Ranma Saotome," Heero replied. He had been searching for some information on Nerima the previous night.
"That's it! Ranma Saotome, the famous martial artist lives there. I heard he's also going to Furinkan High school," Wufei said. He had been following the articles about the boy's amazing feats like defeating a God. He didn't believe that it was true. Some of the rumours were too farfetched even for a Gundam pilot.
"Ranma Saotome?" Quatre asked looking a bit puzzled.
"He's supposedly the best martial artist in Earth if not the entire colonies. The rumour was that he recently defeated the Phoneix God, Saffron. He's very famous in the martial artist area," Wufei explained.
"He defeated a God?" Duo asked in disbelief. He found it hard to believe.
The rest of the pilots shared his sentiments. "Are you sure it's true?" Quatre asked.
"No, that was what the rumours said. Whether it's true or not I don't know. We'll just have to ask him," Wufei shrugged. He was itching to challenge this guy.
All conversations ceased at this point. Each pilot was deep in his thoughts for the rest of the trip.
*End Chapter 3*
AN: Yay! I finally finished! *Do a little dance in front of the computer*. Anyway, I hope you liked it. I know there's not much action in this chap but hopefully there will be more in the next one. Don't forget to review! Until next time. Ciao!
