Wow, I got up this chapter quicker then I thought. Hey there, are you enjoying the story? Well I kept my promise and got Trieze and Zechs in, now we gotta get back Wufei! Don't worry, he'll be back soon. Hmmm.Quatre taking action and kissing Krista, that's a first. But will it last? DUN DUN DUN! All right, on with the story!



"YOU DID WHAT!?" Duo screamed glaring at a blushing Quatre. "I kissed her." Quatre replied touching his lips as he remembered the incident. Duo mouth gaped open in shock, "You? You! Are getting more action then me!?" Duo cried in disbelief. "It's not that hard Duo." Quatre smiled, "To get more action then you." "WHAT WAS THAT!?" Duo grabbed Quatre and put him in a headlock. "Take that back pansy!" Quatre laughed and stepped on Duo's foot, making him let go. "Hey, don't take your bad luck with women out on me! I'm not waiting to know if she likes me or not. I saw the chance and I took it." Duo grumbled a few cuss words under his breath and leaned against the counter. "You're right, all these years I've been letting her slip by because of my stupid fear. I'll never know unless I try." Quatre smiled at his pal, but it quickly faded when he heard a motorcycle. "Say, where are those two anyway?" Duo asked, not realizing Quatre walking behind the counter and ducking.

*CRASH!*

A motorcycle flies throw the store window, and screeches to a halt inches away from Duo. Mina pulls off her helmet, and Krista (who was behind her) did the same. "My store." Quatre mumbled popping his head out. "Awww, don't worry Quatre. I'll pay for that, just put it on my bill!" Mina said getting off her "new" bike. Krista hopped off and ran by the frozen Duo, into Quatre's arms. "Hi!" He returned Krista's embrace, but then glanced back at the hole in his front window scowling. Mina waved her hand in front of Duo's face, which still remained in the position it was in before being hit by the motorcycle. "Duo, hey Duo, Duo!" She began to snap her fingers until he finally clicked out of it. "Guess what? We went shopping and I bought a new outfit!" Mina reached into the shopping bag she was carrying. "Shopping? You?" Duo asked surprised. "Yes I went shopping." Mina sneered back and pulled out a black tanktop and leather pants. "It looks like all your other clothes." Duo remarked staring at what she was wearing and what she was holding. "HELLO! This is so different! This neck is lower and these pants are so tighter!" Duo began to go in his "happy world". "Tighter." Mina watched Duo confused as his head tilted to the side and his eyes went blank. She shrugged and walked back over to Krista and Quatre. "Break it up you two, you're going to make me gag!" Krista formed an evil smirk on her face, "Jealous?" Mina rolled her eyes, "Yeah right, no offense Kats." "None taken." He replied back. Krista just giggled and grabbed a broom, and began to sweep the floor. Mina plopped herself on a chair and began reading a magazine, while Quatre went and got a dustpan. Duo however, remained standing in the middle of the room thinking about Mina and her tight pants.

Elsewhere, a husband and wife lay dead on the floor. Heero just stares at his deed, as a trail of blood drips down the corner of his mouth. His emotionless eyes move to the wall clock, "5:25, its about time." And walks out the front door. He then strolls into an abandoned building, straight into the basement. He casually heads towards a locked door, and opens it. A coffin lay in the middle of the floor. Heero kneeled down beside it and trailed his fingers along the designs. It suddenly creaks open, and a hand appeared pushing the lid off. Trowa raised up from the coffin and to his feet. Heero remained kneeling, "You're finally up." He spoke. "You didn't come when his Excellency called." Trowa replied not even looking at him. Heero's eyes narrowed, "I will not come when he snaps. I came here because of one thing, not him." Trowa shook his head, "His Excellency needs us." Heero stood up abruptly, "For what Trowa? Why does he need us? Have you ever given that any thought!? He shows up out of the blue with his lap dog and expects us too." Heero stops and glances at Trowa. "Nevermind." He turns his back upon him. "Heero." Trowa sighed. "So, this one thing you came for, is Mina?" A smirk formed on Heero's lips, "She will be mine Trowa, whatever it takes." Trowa grins back at his friend, "And how do you oppose to do that?" Heero chuckles, "I suggest you worry about your own problems, before worrying about mine." "About?" Trowa questions. "You are aware of the fact she's with him, aren't you?" Heero watches as Trowa turns his head in disgust. "Not for long." He replies walking towards the door. Heero follows and joins him outside the building. "Trowa," Heero said jumping up onto the roof, "Just don't be fooled by him." And vanishes. "By him?" Trowa repeated. A group of girls came by, they giggled and started to walk on over. Trowa just smiled and licked his lips as he watched his meal approach him.

"I'M BORED!" Mina whined as she sat down on the rooftop. Duo threw his scythe in the air like a baton and caught it. "It's been slow, but that's a good thing." "Not for me, it isn't!" Mina snorted, flicking the bugs that crawled on the edge. "You're not happy unless you're killing a vampire aren't you?' Duo teased. "So, I like stabbing them and watching them burst into ashes as I step on their remains and." Duo backed off as Mina started to go in her "happy world". "Okay, this areas clear. So why don't we split up. I'll check the west area and you check the east, and we'll meet up back at the store in an hour." Mina nodded. "Oh. And Mina, I have something really important to say, so please don't be too late!" "Don't worry Duo," She reassured him. "I'm a little insulted you think I'd be late, is it that important?!." She snatches her sword and leaps to the next building. "It's important for me. Because I'll finally tell you, after all these years, how I feel." Duo whispers throwing back his scythe over his shoulder, and jumping down into the streets.

Krista stumbled into her apartment out of breath, "Stupid dog! Chase me down the block!" She cursed. "I should of ate it!" But then she had a grotesque look on her face. "Ewww dog's blood!" Krista laughs to herself and picks up the paper lying on the table. "Better make up a report to give to Rogers so he won't suspect I'm not doing my job. Okay, 5 more bodies found, a husband and wife, and 3 young girls." She stops and stares at what she had written. "What am I doing? I'm a detective, and I'm letting these innocent people die cuz I rather hang with my friends." Krista's head falls down to her hands, "But what can I tell them? Hey, I found the vampire and he made me into one but a vampire hunter saved me and made me only half of one. And now I spend my days with him and another half vampire, dating the weapon's store owner!" She finally pulls herself up and to the balcony window. She stares at the stars and then to the building below. An image of Trowa faded as Krista remembered when she last saw him. "How many days has it been?" She thought. "I know I made myself a promise to forget about him, but I can't. I'm sorry Quatre." Krista laid her head on the rail, and silently weped to herself.

Mina landed on top of the roof and peered down into the alleyway. "Clear, damn." She mumbled and jumped over to the next one. "Where are all the stinking vamps!" She yelled stomping her feet. "AHHHHHHHH!!!" A blood- curdling scream of a woman was heard nearby. "Alright!" Mina happily said, and ran towards the direction. She lands on the street, and sees a woman with long blonde hair lying on the ground. Mina ran over to the body and flipped it over. Mina's eyes grew wide as she realized the woman wasn't a woman, but a man who was already dead. He opens his eyes and smiles, throwing dust in her face. Mina cries out in pain as the man flips backwards. Mina rubs her eyes and tries to focus on her attacker. He pulls out a sword just like hers, and gets in attack form. Mina did the same, and waits. In an instant he slashes at her; she blocks it. Back and forth they fought, equally matched. Mina leaps back and so does he. She scowls at him, and rubs her still swollen eyes. "You're pretty good Mina." He spoke. "How did you know my name?! Who the hell are you!?" Mina yells. "How rude of me." He replies and bows. "My name is Zechs Merquise, I was sent here to capture you." Mina glares at him, "Did you really think I would go down that easy?!" Zechs grins at her, "That's why he sent me!" And in a flash, his sword was at her throat. "Now come, his Excellency is waiting." Mina went to lift her sword, but Zechs pushed his more into her. "Fuck!" Mina cussed under her breath. Zechs smiles at his accomplishment, but it soon fades when a dagger pierces his hand. He screams in pain, and lets go of his sword. Mina takes this opportunity and swings her blade at him. Zechs disappears and then reappears in another spot not too far. "This isn't over!" He hisses and vanishes into the alleyway. Mina touched her throat and looks down at the dagger. "This knife." She quickly turns around, but saw no one. Not noticing in the distance, Heero watching her from the shadows.

At the store, a rose gently falls from Duo's hand as he walks out the door.





Did everyone get that ending?! I was trying to make it all dramatic, that Mina never showed up at all. Poor Duo! Next chapter to come soon, till then Reviews would be appreciated! Thanks!
