Author's Note:

Umm.I wasn't sure whether or not I should give Hotaru her senshi power. Should I? ( Thanks for the encouraging reviews! Though I have to admit, being threatened by an army of Mini-Relena(s) that are trying to clone teletubies that are going to hypnotize everyone is rather scary, but nevertheless, Thanks! Please R&R! Also.BAD NEWS! I won't be in town for the next 3 weeks and my precious laptop Uhh.accidentally smashed itself into the wall, so I won't be updating anytime soon. SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG FOR ME TO UPDATE THIS ONE! . Please don't hurt me.

Until now Heero hadn't had a chance to look at her face clearly. Her large violet eyes were luminous and huge as they intently stared at him. He barely registered her weight as she sat in his lap, her frame was light, she didn't seem likely to weigh more than a feather. Then again Heero could lift things 5 times his weight effortlessly. He observed her thoroughly, ignoring her question. Heero Yuy never wasted words. She certainly wasn't dressed for the occasion. She wore a white button up shirt with a gray sweater thrown over it, a black skirt that reached mid-thigh and knee-high boots. She looked like a schoolgirl. Finally he realized she was glaring at him. Her luscious lips set into a pout.



"Hm, not very talkative are we." She scoffed.



She shifted again in his lap and her skirt rose up to her thigh. He looked closely and found that there was a tiny number branded into her upper thigh. 020. He recognized that from somewhere. She pulled her skirt down when she realized that he was staring at it and turned her head away.



"Oi, Heero!" Duo's pixie face wavered on the screen, "Let's get goin' man!"

Heero hadn't realized that Wufei and Duo had already arrived. He nodded to the screen. This was going to be a bit difficult, transferring three gundams to another place with out being noticed. The system flashed and data scrolled down the screen as they took off. The girl, obviously not used to the sudden change in gravity flew out of Heero's lap jerking Heero along with her. A snicker was heard in one of the speakers, a snicker that sounded very much like Duo's. Heero scrambled back up to retake control of Wing. Hastily he jabbed at a button that disconnected their vid-screens.

Hotaru rubbed furiously at her head, which had hit the screen. This definitely wasn't one of her best days. Heero took hold of her waist firmly, refusing to let go until they reached their destination.

"A little too tight." the ebony-haired girl said through gritted teeth.

"Hn, sucks for you." Came the unexpected reply.

"Bastard"

"Can't help it."

"Hmph"

"Explain now, Yuy." Wufei said gruffly.

They had reached the new safe house, a shabby little beach house off the shore of an island somewhere, their gundams submerged under a deep-water cave. Tropical trees surrounded them and a cool sea breeze wafted in their midst.

Heero set Hotaru down with a thump as he kneeled next to her in the sand. Quickly and efficiently he cut off the cuffs letting them fall into the deep sand. Immediately he backed away and tilted his gun at her.

"Disarm," he commanded

"Why?" Hotaru countered.

"Don't make me do it the hard way." Heero growled.

Hotaru scowled at him, her luminous eyes narrowing. Deliberately slowly she began removing weapons and setting them down before her on the sand, a small 9mm strapped to her back, a dagger in her boot, some explosives in the lining of her skirt.

"Done," she said.

"Hn, I felt more than that." Said Heero quirking a brow.

Hotaru refused to do more so Heero advanced on her and began patting her down, confiscating a weapon almost with every pat. He stripped off her gray sweater; inside of it were many varieties of daggers and blades. The thick bottom heals of her boots contained a number of sedatives and darts, and the lining inside of her boots had electric wires and such. A black lacey garter concealed a revolver Heero hadn't even seen.

"Bra, off now." Heero demanded.

Hotaru glowered even more and turned around to remove her bra under he white button up shirt. The rest of the pilots stared wide-eyed as Heero removed a number of pills conceal within her bra. He threw the lacy black bra back at her and kicked away the weapons.

"Who are you? What were you doing at that base, and why did you get captured?" He asked, the tone of his voice flat.

It didn't look as if Hotaru was going to respond. Her face was flushed red from the dignity-stripping search and her expression was looking rather vindictive. Slowly she approached him. They stood nose to nose as the other gundam pilots watched with interest. Trowa raised a brow, as they stood completely still, no one moving, when all of the sudden Heero's lying in a heap on the ground clutching his groin. Trowa winced. Ouch...

Wufei couldn't help but snort. Yuy deserved it he was being unjustified. He looked over to where Duo stood, or "was" standing. Now he was rolling in the sand, clutching his stomach, and laughing like an idiot. Quatre stepped over Heero stumbling slightly to get to the girl.

"Heh.Uhh, I suppose that wasn't the best way to go about that." Quatre said. "What's your name Miss?"

She stared at him skeptically as he began to usher her away from the guys. Trowa cleared his throat.

"Maybe Quatre will do better." Trowa stated as he helped Heero up, a hint of amusement flickered in his green eyes.
