Water and Oil
Note: Jade is the daughter of Rika Nonaka and Ryo Akiyama. Quinn is Chang Wufei and Sally Poe's grandson. I own neither Digimon Tamers nor Gundam Wing. If I did neither of them would have ended the way they did. I hope you like and review.
Jade Fenal Akiyama was late again. She was usually late though so it wasn't that surprising, it was not unusual to see her racing across the park five minutes before school was about to begin. Jade was hard to miss thanks to her love of bright clothes and many people recognized her as she sped past them simply by the clothes she wore. Twelve year old Jade had been late for school all her life and twice that week, Mr.Hiromi had said that if she was late one more time she'd have to have an after school detention. Normally this wouldn't have worried Jade but a new girl had come to Jade's school and had taken over detention and Jade had no wish to enter her territory. As Jade turned the corner she breathed a sigh of relief; thanks once again to her track training she had cut her lateness time in half. Mentally thanking her father for the tenth time for forcing her to join the cross-country team at school, Jade ran across the leaf covered school yard where the students were beginning to head in. It just wasn't fair, Jade thought. It was 2102 for god sakes; Why in god's name hadn't someone invented transporters so she wouldn't have to do all this running around. She should just have to push a button and zap be at school.
Jade loved autumn, except when she was running, which was always because the leaves made the ground so slippery. As always the first glance of Peacecraft took what remained of her breathe away. The academy was surrounded by trees and flowers which gave it a mystical look no matter the season. The great bells of Peacecraft Academy were just beginning to ring as Jade remembered the time and once again sped by her classmates in order to get to Jenn on time. Seeing her best friend Jenn impatiently waiting for her by the door Jade increased her speed until she was gasping before her friend.
"Jade. Have you ever been on time for anything in your life" Jenn said with a toss of her midnight hair. Besides being the best looking girl in school, Jenn was also the biggest perfectionist and spent a lot of the time talking to Jade about the importance of punctuality.
"Go in class now, lecture later" Jade puffed out as she grabbed Jenn's hand and pulled her into their classroom just as the bell went. Hurrying to her seat at the back of the room and began wishing she was invisible. Adama, the new girl also sat at the back and she'd taken a personal dislike to Jade. Jade couldn't quite figure out the reason for her hostility yet but she had a feeling it had something to do with her brother. Her brother was two years younger than her and tended to be honest and blunt about everything and always gave his opinion whether or not he should. It wouldn't be the first or the last time Harry's big mouth had made her the object of dirty looks and eventual fist fights. Since Harry was also a martial arts student and pretty awesome for a ten year old, most bullies tended to avoid fighting him. Of course they had no problem picking on his sister, the easy target, or so they thought until her fist connected with their body . Consequently Jade had been in a lot of fights over the last two year and it had been so bad last year that Jade's dad had taken her out of karate class so she wouldn't learn any new ways to beat some one up.
Sending a weak smile Adama's way Jade settled in for another chapter of boring history. Jade hated history with a passion but was good at it for some unexplainable reason. The fact that Mr.. Hiromi taught the class was the only real bright side in an otherwise hated period. Mr. Hiromi loved History with a passion and once he started to talk he could go on and on forever which gave her plenty of time to daydream. Even better, Mr. Hiromi was talking about the great rebel fighter Heero and the gundam wing pioltes who fought the terrorist group Oz. Having heard this story many times before Jade let her mind wander to other things as she always did in history. Jenn could fill her in on the important parts later. Jade had planned to go to the mall with Jenn after school to look at a new store that had just opened up called Duo's Dungeon. Jade and Jenn had been wondering for weeks what kind of store it was and couldn't wait to check it out. Jenn thought that it was probably a comic book story and Jade thought that maybe it was a story full of creep and deadly weapons. But then again Jenn was probably right but who knows.
Jade almost jumped out of her seat when she felt someone poke her hard in the back. Turning around in her seat Jade glared at the smiling face behind her. Quinn Chang was the most annoying boy in her class and she personal couldn't stand him. He was a real sexist pig and considered all women weak. Put that together and you had the makings of any normal girl's Mr.Wrong. Jade had heard that all the males in Quinn family were like that which made Jade wonder how any woman could morally reproduce them, much less live with them.
"If I didn't know better I'd swear that you were raised by a bunch of cave dwellers Quinn" Jade said using her best "I wish you were dead" glare.
"Geez Jade, I thought you were asleep. And if I didn't know any better I'd think that you didn't like me very much." Quinn said cheekily.
"Really? What gave you that idea?" Jade said sarcastically.
" So are you enjoying his speech on the famous Gundam Wing pilots, Jade?" Quinn said, changing the subject, his grin widening.
"Oh, of course I am, Quinn. After all they were real men and not a little boy like you. Maybe you should pay more attention. You might learn something." Jade paused long enough to enjoy Quinn's fierce expression as the barb hit home before she turned around again and began copying the note on the board.
"Psst Jade." Jade turned her head to look at Jenn who gave her a thumbs up sign for her excellent comeback. Taking a small bow Jade winked at her best friend and began to think of all the other little digs she could use against Quinn.
It was lunchtime and Jenn and Jade had elected to eat outside. They had quickly finished their lunch and were catching up on the latest happenings of their favourite show "Trainer's".
"Didn't T.K. look absolutely gorgeous in that tux. I swear I almost fainted" Jenn gushed her eyes dreamy and unfocused.
"Kari's wedding dress was so beautiful too. They've gotta be the greatest couple ever." Jade added popping a grape into her mouth.
"Hey Blondie, I've got a bone to pick with you." A sinister voice said from behind them.
Being the blond one Jade turned around and felt her heart sink. Adama stood behind her, hands on hips and her feet spread apart. Jenn, recognizing her fighting stepped into her famous peacemaker role. "Hey Adama. What did you think of that math test? I swear Mrs. Sath gets harder every year."
"Shut up Freter. This is none of your business. Fenal. I need to talk to you now. Alone."
"Well Adama, I'd love to talk to you but you see I have a lot of homework to do and I need J.d..d.en's help. Maybe another time perhaps?"
"Sorry Blondie but unless you want me to rearrange your face I suggest you do as I tell you to do." Jade looked around for a way out and felt sweat begin to cover her brows. She looked at the 150-pound girl before her, she was a year older and could probably throw her around like a javelin. It wasn't that she was a wimp, far from it in fact. But she'd promised her dad she wouldn't get into any more fights.
"Jade, Jenn could you girl's please come over here and give me a hand with these boxes?" A voice from the school inquired. Jade and Jenn turned to see their gym teacher struggling with some boxes and thankful for the interruption ran over to Ms.Vann.
A few hours later the girls stood staring at the store before them. The sign on the window had the store's name and a picture of a dragon with fire shooting out of its mouth, giving no indication of what it was selling. The girls slowly entered the building and stared at the inside of Duo's Dungeons. The room wasn't well lit and many of the items in the store sent shadows skirting around the room. The girls heard a rustling behind them and as they turned around a hand clamped onto their shoulders as the girls let out an ear-piercing scream.
"You shouldn't have come. Now you'll see why you should be so scared-d-d, ahhhhh." The voice wheezed out before Jade got a firm grip on its hand before throwing it over her shoulder. Not waiting to see who their attacker was the girls raced into the back of the store and straight into an old man. His hair was tied in a braid as long as any girls which had turned grey long ago. His face however told another story. His violet eyes were filled with mischief and his grin could only be described as devilish.
"It seems you haven't lost your touch Duo, woman are still throwing themselves at you." The girls turned towards the voice and relaxed as they saw a kindly looking older lady appear in the doorway.
"What can I say Sal, I'm just irresistible." If it were possible the man's grin looked even more wicked now.
"Were so sorry to interrupt but we're in need of help. You see we came into the store to look around and while we were out front someone attacked us. He grabbed us from behind but Jade knocked him over but he may still be out their waiting for us can you please come with us to make sure it's safe?"
"Of course we will young ladies. No one attacks someone in my store and gets away with it." The man said losing his grin.
"There's no need for that Uncle Duo, I promise I'll never touch Jade every again as long as I live. It's far too dangerous." The girls turned in amazement as Quinn walked in cradling his head.
"Quinn Wufei Chang. Do you mean to tell me that you're the one who attacked these poor little girls! I would've thought we'd raised you better."
"I didn't attack them Grandma, honest. I was just trying to scare them a little bit and for your information Jade doesn't have a poor bone in her body. I'd rather take on Oz then mess with that little hellcat again."
In apology for his grandnephew's behaviour Duo gave them a personnel tour of his shop which was going to be a practical just store and gave them each a book of his favourite practical jokes to play on Quinn later to even things up. Wishing that they could glare at Quinn some more they bidded good bye to Duo and Sally, and headed home. They walked quickly down the corner as they read from their books when they were suddenly snatched from behind. Heaving a deep sign Jade turned around and felt her heart sink. She'd known that Adama would be behind her but she hadn't expected her to bring any friends. The Julian girls were there as well and even someone as dumb as dirt could tell this wasn't a social visit.
"Well, well, well. If it isn't our favourite little blonde. I believe we still have some business to discuss?" Adama said coming forward.
"Hi Adama, Greta, Gaffnee. We'd loved to stay and chat but I'm late for supper as it is and should probably head home" Jade said never taking her eyes off Adama's hands. There was a rumour going around school that Adama carried a switch blade and Jade wasn't taking any chances. Seeing where Jade's eyes were centered Adama gave a sickening grin.
"Want to see what I have in my pocket Jade? I'm sure someone with your martial arts training would appreciate it." Jenn and Jade watched in horror as Jade's fear was confirmed. From her pocket Adama pulled out a six-inch blade that looked razor shape and honed to perfection. Jade could tell by the way Adama was holding the blade that she knew how to use it and that would make it harder for Jade to disarm her. The girls watched as the three girls started slithering towards them, praying that someone would come by and scare Adama away.
"I'm sorry Adama but I cannot allow you to harm Jade or Jenn." The Julian girls heads turned in shock towards the voice who had dared contradict their leader's command. Jade felt her jaw drop as she saw Quinn standing before her staring calmly at Adama with his hands behind his back.
"Who do you think you are telling me what to do shortie."
"He's the guy that could wipe the play ground with your face Adama" Jade blurted out hoping that she sounded convincing.
"Oh and why do you say that Blondie?" Adama sneered her eyes never leaving Quinn's face.
"Because he's ten times smarter then you and he could beat me and my brother up if he wanted to." Jade shot back, the lies rolling off her tongue convincingly enough. Jade saw that Adama was unsure of herself. She obviously wanted to use her as her own private punching bag for whatever reason but didn't want to risk injury to herself in the process. Deciding to call his bluff Adama once again stepped towards Jade with blade flashing in the streetlights.
"You don't scare me kid. You should have left when you had the chance. Now you're going to end up with your face redone just like Blondie here."
"I'm afraid it is you who are mistaken. You see, it's true that you are dangerous and you obviously now how to use your blade. However, my blade is bigger and far more health hazardous."
The girls all gave gasps of amazement as Quinn drew a sword as long as he was tall from behind his back and stepped in front of Jade and Jenn, calmly getting into defensive position. Deciding that she could deal with Jade later when she was minus the kid Adama turned on her heels without a word and stormed over to the corner of the street towards the drinking fountain. Greta and Gaffnee ran after her and almost ran into Duo who had come out of his store to find Quinn.
"Hey there little ladies what's a matter. You look as if you've seen a ghost."
"There's some crazy kid over there who threaten to chop us up with a sword bigger then he is."
Duo followed the girl's finger to see his god nephew in an argument with Jade again.
"QUINN!!. What did I tell you about going around scaring girls? I know you don't like them but that's no excuse."
"But Mr. Maxwell. Quinn was just protecting us from those girls. Their friend pulled a switchblade on us and might have used it too if Quinn hadn't been there" Jenn said who looked even worse then the two girls hiding behind Duo, who quickly ran away as Duo turned around and gave them a glare that could have probably turned Hell into Antarctica.
"So you think I'm ten times smarter than Adama and could beat up your little brother and you Jade?" Quinn said finally breaking the silence. Jade looked at him then his sword then back to Quinn.
"Hate to burst your bubble shortie but mud is ten times smarter then she is and my little brother could have you broken and bleeding in seconds. Now if you'll excuse us we need to be going."
"Quinn Chang. What are you doing with your grandfather's sword? Its not a toy and you know that." Sally said as she stepped beside Duo, hands on her hips.
"But grandmother. Grandfather said that men must protect those that are weaker then them. I was using the sword to save Jenn and Jade." Quinn said.
"Did you just call me weak Quinn Chang. I'll have you know I could've kicked Adama's big butt whether you'd been there or not." Jade said, hands on hips.
"You didn't stand a chance Jade. You are a girl and you would have been badly hurt had I not saved you. You should be thanking me."
"Your right Quinn I should have thanked you. After all I might have been badly hurt if you hadn't come to my rescue. Thank you." As she spoke Jade slowly edged forward towards Quinn and when she was in striking distance she let him have it upside the head. While Quinn's head was still vibrating from the blow Jade quickly grabbed the sword out of his grasp and held it over her head. "How dare you call me weak Quinn Chang. I'll teach you what happened to people who dare to call me weak." Struggling with the unexpected weight of the sword Jade sliced it through the air, just barely missing Quinn's head. As she brought it around for another go Quinn sped off down the street, quickly followed by Jade who was still brandishing the sword over her head.
"DUO! Where the Hell did you put my sword!" Jenn, Duo, and Sally turned around to watch Sally's husband Wufie come out of the store with murder in his eyes. Wulfie, ignoring his audience went straight over to Duo and picked him up by his collar as if he weighed no more than a feather.
"I don't have your stupid sword old man. It's currently being used by your grandson's crush who is trying to use it to cut his head off for being stupid enough to forget that she could kick his butt."Duo said with a laugh as he watched the two love birds. Wulfie followed Duo's finger and saw a pretty girl running after his grandson Quinn with his sword and swinging it quite well in fact, for a girl.
"Ha your getting old yourself Duo. Quinn is obviously letting her think she's in control but he's just letting her blow off steam." Wulfie said, hoping it was true. It wouldn't do to have a grandson who was afraid of girls.
"Yea and I'm a damn priest. I bet you anything that if Jade wanted to slice and dice your grandson there she could do it no problem." Duo resorted smiling at Wufie's startled expression.
"Aw, aren't they cute. I have a feeling a wedding's in their future." Sally interrupted with a sigh, remembering all of the times she had felt like doing what Jade was doing now to her now silent husband.
"Actually I wouldn't count on a happy ending Mrs.Chang. I predict that homicide rather than a honeymoon would be the most likely occur should they ever marry."Jenn said waving goodbye to Jade and Quinn who were too busy arguing to notice.

"I don't have your stupid sword old man. It's currently being used by your grandson's crush who is trying to use it to cut his head off for being stupid enough to forget that she could kick his butt."Duo said with a laugh as he watched the two love birds. Wulfie followed Duo's finger and saw a pretty girl running after his grandson Quinn with his sword and swinging it quite well in fact, for a girl.
"Ha your getting old yourself Duo. Quinn is obviously letting her think she's in control but he's just letting her blow off steam." Wulfie said, hoping it was true. It wouldn't do to have a grandson who was afraid of girls.
"Yea and I'm a damn priest. I bet you anything that if Jade wanted to slice and dice your grandson there she could do it no problem." Duo resorted smiling at Wufie's startled expression.
"Aw, aren't they cute. I have a feeling a wedding's in their future." Sally interrupted with a sigh, remembering all of the times she had felt like doing what Jade was doing now to her now silent husband.
"Actually I wouldn't count on a happy ending Mrs.Chang. I predict that homicide rather than a honeymoon would be the most likely occur should they ever marry."Jenn said waving goodbye to Jade and Quinn who were too busy arguing to notice.
