Hi Everyone! Thank you for the reviews! I am so glad so many like my story.
Thank you for reading my story and I will continue updating as soon as I can.
So let's get on with the story now.
*********************************
"Now why are we here again?" Anita asked Trowa since he was beside her
"Because Relena wants to announce when that Ball of hers will be." Trowa replied
"How long does it take to announce a ball? It's already been over an hour. This is boring." Anita complained.
"Hey it looks like its about to start, Anita." Duo said behind her.
"About time." Anita and Wufei said at the same time.
Relena Peacecraft walked on to the stage in the female version of her schools' uniform. Stepping up to the microphone she smiled at everyone.
"Thank you all for attending this assembly. Today I would like to announce that the Ball I hold every year before school starts will be in one week. This year as well will be Men's choice. I look forward to meeting all of the new students at the Ball. I hope you have enjoyed your stay here thus far. Please have a good day." Relena said and walked off the stage.
"We waited over an hour just to hear her say that!" Anita cried out upset. "That was a complete waste of time. I'm going to blow off some steam. See you guys later." Anita said storming out.
"What's gotten into her?" Quatre asked bewildered
"I don't have a clue. She's been like that all morning." Duo said
Wufei watched Anita walk off and knew exactly what was wrong. Walking out of the auditorium Wufie headed towards the direction Anita had gone. A few minutes later he came across one of the many gardens in the school. As he neared he could see Anita practicing. **Beautiful.** his heart sighed. **Shut up! She is not! Don't forget about Merian.** his mind shouted. Walking forward Wufie waited for her to notice him. It didn't take long.
"What do you want Chang?" Anita asked turning towards Wufei.
"I wish to spar with you." Wufie said
Stepping back a little Anita nodded her head. "Very well then."
Getting in fighting stances they faced each other.
Anita ran forward and attempted a punch, but Wufei blocked it easily. Wufei threw one of his own punches and it was blocked just as easily. Jumping back they circled each other then ran forward throwing punches left and right. One of Wufeis' punches connected with Anita's jaw, while one of Anita's landed in his stomach. Gasping for air Anita took the opening she had and kicked Wufei, sending across the yard.
"It seems I have won this one, Chang." Anita stated walking up to Wufei and held out her hand.
"So it seems." Wufei replied taking her hand and getting up.
"There was another reason for sparring with me isn't there." Anita said looking into Wufeis' eyes.
"Yes. Come with me." Wufei said and turned away.
Following Wufei, Anita was lead away from the school. "Where are we headed?" Anita asked.
"You will see." Wufei answered.
Sighing Anita remained quite the rest of the way to where ever he was taking her.
"We are here." Wufei said stopping.
Anita looked to see where she was and saw many steps leading to a temple. "Why are we here?" Anita asked slightly confused
"Come. I will tell you once we are at the top."
Walking the stairs up Anita remained silent thinking and remembering. Out of the corner of his eye Wufei watched Anita. **I hope this will help her Zahn. I doubt she has been to a temple in a long time.**
Reaching the top Wufei walked up to the shrine there. "I have brought you here so that you may pray and honor Zahn as well as the rest of your family." Wufei said not looking at Anita. Anita's eyes went wide for a moment, but then smiled. Walking to the shrine she lit some essence and then rang the bell. Placing her hands together in front of her she bowed her head and began her silent pray to honor her family. Wufei joined her in her prayers so that he could honor his friend, wife, and clan.
At the temple steps Master Lang watched the two and smiled to himself.
"Master Lang why do you smile?" one of his apprentices asked confused.
Master Lang looked at his apprentice and said, "I smile because before me stands two lost souls who have found each other, yet they know it not."
The apprentice looked at the two Master Lang was referring to and smiled himself.
"And why do you smile, my apprentice?" Master Lang asked
"I smile because I see two spirits watching them and they are smiling."
Master Lang turned his attention to the two at the shrine and smiled even more. Beside both was a man and a woman smiling at them both. The two turned towards the Priest and bowed before vanishing.
At the shrine Wufei and Anita prayed not realizing who was watching them, but in their hearts they both felt warmth and approval. Approval to what they didn't know, but after finishing their prayers they felt at peace within themselves.
"Thank you, Wufei for bringing me here." Anita said softly
"You are welcome Anita." Wufei replied just as softly
Getting up, Wufei offered Anita his hand. Taking it she was pulled up. "Let us go." Wufei said and started to head back to the school. Anita turned to the shrine once more and bowed before catching up to Wufei.

"Sir, Solar reporting in."
"What news?"
"The Ball is in one week. Relena will die in one week."
"Good. Excellent. Do not fail me."
"I will not sir. I will be sending information to you that may interest you concerning the Gundam pilots."
"Fine. Just do not fail in your mission."
"Hai! Solar out."
Grinning to herself the woman emailed the information to her leader through a secure line. "Soon, Earth and the Colonies will be ours. And you little Runt will be my next prey."
*********************
In Heero's room
*********************
"I can not believe this!" Quatre said in shock
The others were in just as shocked. They were sitting around a labtop reading the information on the disks that Quatre took. What they read was amazing yet horrifying.
"The Doctors need to know about this." Heero said and began prepping everything to send the information.
"How can anyone use human life like that?" Quatre whispered remembering what he had over heard between the blonde haired man and his Doctors.
Trowa walked up to Quatre. "They have not found what they are looking for yet so we still have a chance to find out where that machine is and destroy it."
Duo was visibly shaking. "They will pay for all the lives they have taken. I swear it."
"The information was sent. Now we wait for the Doctors to contact us on how to precede next." Heero said.
"I hope it is soon." Duo said
The others nodded in agreement.
*********************
On the way back Anita and Wufei were in silent thought.
"Chang thank you once again." Anita said
Wufei looked at Anita and smiled since she wasn't looking. "You are welcome."
Thinking how to repay Wufei an idea popped into her head. Looking at her watch she smiled at the time. **Perfect. I have plenty of time.**
Wufei looked at Anita strangely. "What is wrong with you?" he asked barely covering up the concern in his voice.
"I just remembered something. I'll catch back up with you later. Ja ne!" Anita said before taking off running down a different path.
Wufei looked at her strangely but then shrugged and started back to his room.
***********************
Later that evening Anita returned with two packages.
"Hey Anita where have you been?" Duo asked from the kitchen.
"I had to run some errands. So how many Ladies did you ask to the ball and more importantly how many turned you down?" Anita asked smiling.
"Anita! That's mean! They just don't know a good thing when they see it." Duo said faking being hurt by her words.
"Well you have a week so good luck." Anita said then went to Wufei's room and knocked. Receiving no answer an idea popped into her head and she turned the knob hoping it was unlocked. Sure enough it was. Peeking in she didn't see Wufei there so she walked in and placed both packages on the bed and a note there as well.
Walking out of the room Anita walked back to the kitchen to find Wufei and Duo there arguing. They didn't seem to notice her so she remained quite and listened.
"Ahh come on Wu-man! Why not? I know you like her." Duo said
"I do not like her! So back off before you lose that braid!" Wufei yelled.
"I still think you should ask her out to the ball, man." Duo continued looking straight at Wufei.
Anita decided to add her two cents in as well. "I agree with Duo. You should ask her to the ball who ever she is, Chang. Even I can see that you are lying about how you feel about her. It's written all over your face. Ask her."
"Stay out of my business! I have no desire to ask out an onna!" Wufei growled at both of them walking out of the kitchen and slamming his door.
Looking at Wufei Anita turned towards Duo and noticed he was trying to control his laughter. "What? Did I say something wrong?"
Duo couldn't help himself anymore and broke out laughing. "No..haha..You didn't...haha. Duo responded.
Anita just shrugged her shoulders then sighed and told Duo goodnight and went to bed.
**********************
In Wufei's room he was boiling mad. Still upset with Duo and Anita, mainly for her butting in, he noticed the two packages on his bed and a note. Picking up the note cautiously he read it
Chang,
Thank you for taking me to the shrine today. It helped me greatly. So to show my apparition I have given you two gifts. I will not take them back so do not try to return them. I hope you like the gifts.
Anita.
Placing the letter down he opened both packages and looked upon them in surprise. Before him lay a katana and a set of beautifully made silk garments. The katana's hilt was made of ivory and graceful dragons were carved upon them. **This was the katana I was looking at two weeks ago. How did she know I wanted it?** He then examined to garment. It was completely black except for the dragon on the shirt, which was silver. As he examined the gifts he then noticed a letter in each package. Wufie picked up the letters and read them as well.
Chang,
On the way back to the school I wanted to thank you properly for helping me, but did not know how. Then I remembered two weeks ago you eyeing this katana. I could tell you wanted it but you didn't buy it. So I give this gift to you.
The other letter read as follows,
Chang,
I know that you will more then likely be dragged to the ball by Duo so I give you these garments to wear to it. It suits you better than a tux would I think. This way, though you were forced to go, you at least won't be uncomfortable. I hope you are pleased and thank you once more for your help.
Wufei looked at the gifts before him and sighed. Putting the gifts away Wufei went to bed pondering on what was wrong with him, but no answer came to him and sleep eventually over took him.
**********************
I hoped you liked it! If I don't update soon its more than likely because of work. So please have patience with me. I will continue trying to upload new chapters as soon as possible.
