"You know what this is getting very boring." Mina muttered as she continued to stare at the five Gundam Pilots. Raye and Serena had decided to pass time by singing one of their favorite songs that they had performed together back on L6.
Raye:
You've been the
first in my life
Who has ever made me feel this way
And I will not deny
I'm gonna need you right here
By my side
Raye and Serena:
Baby, I can wait
(come and hold my hand and let me lead the way)
Let me take your breathe away
(by holdin' and kissin' and lovin' and touchin' you)
Never will be too late
(see myself through your eyes)
Baby, I can wait
(until the day I hear you say)
Raye:
You are mine
There's no other one for me
Keep in mind
You make my life complete
And tonight
We'll make love endlessly
Cuz you're mine
You're the one that I'll keep
For all time
Serena:
Now that you're here, boy
I'm never gonna let you go
Can I touch you there, oh
Do you mind if we kiss real slow
You're my everything
You're my hopes and dreams
Baby, you know it ain't no lie
I'm gonna be with you till the day I die…..
Raye and Serena:
Baby, I can wait
(come and hold my hand and let me lead the way)
Let me take your breathe away
(by holdin' and kissin' and lovin' and touchin' you)
Never will be too late
(see myself through your eyes)
Baby, I can wait
(no no, til the day I hear you say)
Raye:
You are mine
There's no other one for me
Keep in mind
You make my life complete
And tonight
We'll make love endlessly
Cuz you're mine
You're the one that I'll keep
For all time
Serena:
You're the one that lights my fire
You're the one that keeps me strong
You're the one that I depend on
When my world is goin' wrong
You're the one that I hold closer
You're the man I'm dreaming of
And I really really love you
I just want you to know that
Raye and Serena:
You
are mine
There's no other one for me
Keep in mind (keep in mind)
You make my life complete
And tonight
We'll make love endlessly
Cuz you're mine
You're the one that I'll keep
For all time
Raye:
I can't wait till the day
When I hear you say
You're the one that I need
You're the one that I'll keep
For all time
"They haven't sung that since seventh grade." Mina told Hotaru as she rolled over to see what the guys were doing.
"Either of them?" Hotaru asked as she kicked some sand with her feet.
"Well together. Sere had to sing in chorus when she got here so that she could be placed. I don't know about Raye though." Mina answered as the five pilots came back over to them. Serena hissed and then growled as she glared at Duo, who was untying the rope from her wrists.
Once Lita had been untied she ran straight to Serena and pinned her before Serena had time to blink. Lita pushed Serena's braid to the side so that she could take a closer look at what she had seen on the back of Serena's neck. Serena hissed as she fought to flip Lita off of her. Once she had sucessfully done that she backed up and then turned to leave the area. Lita also turned and marched over to the other side of the beach. Everyone looked from Lita to Serena's receding back. Rini looked up at the group and then took off after Serena. Mina slowly made her way over to where Lita was standing.
"What was it?" Mina asked as she watched Lita turn and glare at her, hatefully.
"A cobra. She has a tattoo of a king cobra on the back of her neck." Lita growled out as she threw the rock that had been in her hand into the ocean. "She's probably been playing with every single one of us from the beginning."
"What do you mean by that?" Mina asked as Lita turned aggressive.
"There's only one reason that she would have a cobra on the back of her neck. If she has to assassinate someone she goes for pain. She likes them to suffer, and suffer for a long time. She can control the cobra to make it attack who or what she wishes it to attack." Lita told her as she turned to look at the others. "A cobra is the reason for why I don't have parents anymore."
"You don't know, Serena's changed. Lita remember five years ago. She would have killed us for even talking to her. Then over the years she got better, become more understanding. She started to consider us friends. So she has a cobra on the back of her neck it doesn't mean that she's going to kill us." Mina screamed as Raye and Hotaru walked over to them. The guys were looking at Heero for answers. Heero could only shrug before sitting down and pulling out his laptop to find answers.
~**~**~**~**~**~**~
Heero hacked his way into OZ files to see if he could find anything about cobras in their data base. He ended up finding about ten articles about a 'Queen Cobra.' Opening the most recent article he started to scan through it.
Date: 8/25/197Title: Queen Cobra strikes base on L4
Code: 15748546
The Queen Cobra has again gotten into her tenth Oz base in the last three months. She has been targeting high ranked officers but has yet to go after Treize, Zechs, and Une. Every one of her victims is killed the same way. Two snake bites to the arms. Venom testing had confirmed that one of the snakes used was a King Cobra and the other snake was one of seven, Forest, Cape, Egyptian, Spectacled, Suphan, Black Pakistan, or a Banded Egyptian. The King Cobra alone could have killed any of the victims. There are no comfirmed sightings or visuals of the Queen Cobra. She is wanted by OZ. The only thing that she leaves behind is a card with a cobra on the front. No finger prints and or evidince is ever left at the crime sight.
~**~**~**~**~**~**~
"So Lita you're openly admitting that one of your parents worked for OZ then?" Serena asked as she came back into the clearing with Rini in her arms.
"Why would that matter?" Lita asked her. "They're dead any ways."
"You're parents were only killed because they knew to damn much." Serena told her as she went over to her's and Rini's things.
"How many Cobras do you have?" Heero asked as he looked up at her.
"There's a breeding pair for each breed. I'd say about 18 to 20 breeding pairs." Serena told him as Heero took a look at the tattoo on the back of her neck.
"She's not against us is she?" Quatre asked as he walked closer to Heero.
"No." Heero answered as he looked back at his computer screen. "Seems she has to much fun torturing people."
Serena smirked as she watched Rini go run off towards Hotaru. Sitting down on her towel she shielded her eyes as she looked over at Heero and Trowa who wanted answers.
"What?" Serena asked after about ten minutes in a stare down.
"So you work with both snakes and gundams?" Duo asked as he sat down to listen to what was going on.
"Yes, I've worked with cobras longer than gundams. Heero, how many reports are there on the Queen Cobra?" Serena asked as she lay down to relax.
"Ten." Heero answered as he looked back over at the guys.
"Well that's funny." Serena smirked as she placed her hands behind her head.
"What's funny about that?" Wufei asked as they got no response from Serena. "Woman…"
"What's funny, is the fact that I've used those snakes to kill over fifty people and they only have ten accounts for it since it was their people that I was killing." Serena told him as she waved them away. "Heero this was your mission for the day. Go have fun and no work."
"Hn." Heero answered but did as he was told. He had made it a mission and they all knew that Heero Yuy never failed a mission.
~**~**~**~**~**~**~
"Does anyone know how long we've been out here?" Lita asked as she walked back to her towel. Serena looked up at her then glanced at the watch she kept with her at all times to call her Gundams.
"I'd say about four to five hours." Serena yawned as she looked over at Rini who was laying next to her. Running her finger tips gently over the little girl's arm she turned Rini over so that she could see her front side. Doing the same thing as before Serena pack her and Rini's things together quickly before picking Rini up and jogging towards her jeep.
"Where's Serena taking Rini?" Mina asked as she walked over to Lita.
"I think to the jeep." Lita answered as she glanced over at Mina then at the others. "I don't think that the sun tan lotion that we had is working very well."
"What do you mean, I just bought this stuff." Mina cried as she presented Lita with the bottle. Lita took the pink bottle from Mina and read the label.
"Mina this is baby oil." Lita grimest as she turned to look at everyone else. "Guys, I really think that we need to leave."
"Why?" Duo yelled as he turned to try and evade both Wufei and Raye.
"Duo you're about as red as Quatre when he blushes." Lita yelled back. "We all are."
"Woman, what are you talking about?" Wufei asked before he looked down at his arm, glaring at everyone he started to head in.
"I hope Serena hasn't left yet." Mina muttered as everyone started gathering their things and heading for the path that lead to the parking area. They got to the cars after about a minute and were relieved to see Serena leaning against her jeep with a pair of black sunglasses on. Serena lifted her glasses and scanned every single one of them before pointing at who would go with her.
"Serena, where are you going?" Hotaru asked as she walked over to Heero's truck since she hadn't been pointed at.
"I'm going to Sets', for these two and Rini, I'm going to see if she has any of that cream left."
"Serena get like three more of those and we'll all be good." Lita told her she walked up to Serena, offering her hand, Serena took it and the two shook. Serena offered a small smile before walking over to the driver's side. Quatre and Duo got into the back of the car along with Mina. Once their eyes had ajusted to the light Duo started poking at Quatre, who inturn was swating at Duo to stop. Rini was laying in the middle seat of the jeep away from the sun and Mina sat in the front seat happy that the sun wasn't hitting her shoulders. Serena just kept mumbleing at she drove, trying to exnore the pain of the sun beating on her already burned shoulder and arm.
"Sets, do you have like ten jars of that cream?" Serena asked as she walked up to Setsuna. Setsuna smiled as she glanced Serena over and saw the burn that she had aquired.
"Yes, hold on, I'll go get you some. Serena what did you used?" Setsuna asked as she walked into her storage closet.
"Mina put it on me, I don't know what it was." Serena shrugged as she took the jars of cooling cream.

For All Time I don't own it. It's sung by Soluna.
This is what her tattoo looks like only on a smaller scale.

I'd put the date finished on my chapters but then again. It would be a few more weeks until the chapter was put out. I'm pretty far ahead of the chapters I have loaded on FF.Net at the moment. :: sigh :: About twelve ahead or so I think.
Don'tcha hate me for it??
Smiles evilly before running away from angry readers.
Review, Thanks, and Goodnight:
