"I'm sorry." Mina cried out as she looked down at her friends. Once the three had gotten ahold of her they had tied her to a tree branch and were currently deciding what else to do to her.

          "I think that we should just leave her there." Lita told them as she turned to leave.

          "We are, its just that someone's going to have to watch her to make sure that she doesn't get untied." Raye put in as they looked for Serena only to see that their silent soldier had left the area.

          "Wait a minute! I remember hearing another voice with Mina this morning. Mina who was helping you?!" Lita yelled as she looked up at Mina.

          "Duo was alright. Now let me down, I'm going to pass out." Mina screamed as she started to kick against her bindings.

          "Serena's going to kill him." Raye told Lita before the two took off the way they had came to stop Serena.

          "I'm really, really sorry." Duo pleaded as he begged for the life of his braid. Serena was holding one of her knives to the braid. When Lita and Raye showed up to the area they got there in time to see Serena kneel behind Duo and whisper something to him, before letting go of his braid. Duo turned around, smiled at her, then took off.

          "Serena, what did you say to him?" Lita asked as she watched the stonic girl walk pass her and Raye.

          "Hn."

          "I'd ask Duo but I think that he might be tramulized for a while." Lita muttered as she and Raye started to head for class.

          "Serena where's that paper I wanted you to write?" Tasumi asked as he walked up to her desk. Serena placed her foot on the floor and started rummaging through her backpack. Picking up a black folder she handed it to him. Tasumi flipped through it and nodded at the contence. Once a month he made the top six in his class write a paper explaining something weither it had to do with the class or not had nothing to do with it. "So what did you think about it?"

          "I think that the study you had me do was increadably dull." Serena answered as she proped her foot back on the desk. Tasumi had realized that the threats she had made wouldn't happen, but as long as she stayed one of the top students he didn't care. She never exnored the class lectures and seemed to be more comfortable with the way she sat that even he didn't want to bother her any more.

          "Alright class. Duo, can you tell me the equation to find the volume of a circle?" Tasumi asked as he walked back into the front of the room.

          "Umm, volume equals four, pi, r cubed divided by 3." Duo told him with a grin before relaxing back in his seat. Although the others didn't know or realize it Serena was actually extremely patience. She could stand his complaints and took them in stride. With that understanding Serena had agreed to help him with his classes. So far he was doing pretty good. He did have to get used to her right now or don't even show up attitude, however.

          "Does anyone know where Mina is?" Amara asked as she looked around the room. Lita and Raye looked at each other then at Serena who was grinning in the back of the room. Turning back to look at each other again they burst out laughing. Serena placed her head in her hands as she waited for class to start.

          "Girls, where is she?" Michelle asked as she walked infront of them. Raye looked up at Michelle and smiled.

          "She's been tied to a tree as her punishment." Raye told her as Amara started laughing. Michelle glared at Amara but smiled.

Poor Mina. Poor, poor Mina. She's been stuck in that tree for three hours and counting. ^-^
