Hi! Sorry for the wait. I think everyone will like this Chapter its has some humor to it. I hope I didn't make the guys to out of character here. If I did I'm sorry.
Well on with the story!
****************
Anita sat on her balcony and sighed sadly. **Three more days until the ball and not one guy has asked me to it. I shouldn't be surprised. After all I hear what they say when they think I'm not around. `Yeah she's gorgeous but I'm not going out with a girl that can beat me.' `She's to much of a tomboy.' 'She's weird. I mean look at her eyes. Have you ever seen eyes like that before.' The girls are even worse. `Look at her what a tomboy.' `She's too pretty for her own good.' `Don't go near her she's violent. She's not one of us.' `Stay away form her. She takes other peoples boyfriends.' `She doesn't belong here. Why doesn't she go back to that backwater home of hers.'
"At least I have the guys. Without them here I would be so alone. Right Reika." Anita said looking at her childhood friend and companion. Though she was a panther Anita considered her a close and trusted friend instead of a pet.
Reika just purred and rubbed her head up against Anita. Petting Reika's head Anita smiled. "At least you'll always be there for me. Thank you my friend." The only response she received was louder purring. "Let's go find the others huh. Maybe Duo finally has a date."
Walking out of the room Anita and Reika headed next door, when she couldn't find Duo or Wufei in the room. Knocking on the door she waited for an answer and didn't receive any answer. "I guess they're not home. Well let's go outside and enjoy this day." Anita said to Reika. Walking back to her room she quickly grabbed a book and her and Reika left.
Outside it was a beautiful day indeed. It was warm and every now and then a gentle breeze would blow. The sun was out shining brightly and the sky was a brilliant blue with small thin clouds scattered about. Taking in a deep breath, Anita smiled, and started to walk towards one of her favorite spots.
After a few moments they arrived at a tall oak tree. Anita climbed the tree and was shortly followed by Reika. Settling on one of the branches Anita opened her book and started to read while Reika napped on the branch above her.
******************
"So babe how about you and me go to the ball together, huh?" Duo asked the blonde he was sitting next to.
"Yeah right as if. Go bug someone else. I already have someone." The blonde answered then walked away in disgust.
"Ahh man." Duo sighed, "Why can't I get a date?"
"Maxwell! We are not here to pick up weak onnas!" Wufie growled "We are here to discuss what we have found on this new organization."
"Fine! Geez! I found absolutely nothing. They are good at covering up their tracks. That's for sure." Duo said.
"I have been unable to find out anything as well." Quatre said sadly shaking his head.
"They are defiantly careful." Trowa said.
"Damn. I thought at least you would have found something, Barton." Wufei cursed.
"Yuy what about you find anything." Wufei asked the Japanese boy.
"Only that they will attempt to assassinate Relena at the ball. The assassin is also female but I was unable to find a picture. I do know that she is considered one of the best. As for the organization everything else lead to a dead end." Heero said in his monotone voice.
"We need to come up with a plan to protect Relena." Quatre said sighing.
Duo smiled all of a sudden and his eyes held a mischievous twinkle within them.
"What are you smiling about?" Wufei asked
"Oh I know a perfect way that we can protect Relena, but someone's not going to like it." Duo said in a sing song voice.
"Out with it." Trowa told Duo
Smiling more Duos' eyes lit upon Heero. Quatre caught his gaze and knew where this was leading. **Oh he is not going to like that idea at all.**
"Well Relena has a thing for Heero. So all Heero has to do is ask Relena out to the ball as her date he can stay by her side without drawing suspicion. We all know that she wouldn't refuse him. If one of us asked she would say no right away." Duo explained.
The others looked at Heero and knew that he didn't like that idea, but before he could say no Duo continued.
"Of course you can decline this mission and we can try another way. I mean we all know how you feel about her so we won't hold it against you if you would refuse this mission." Duo said nonchalantly waving his hand in the same manner.
The others looked at Duo shocked. He had just cornered the `Perfect Soldier'. Heero glared daggers at Duo. Duo just smiled knowing that he was right.
"Mission accepted." Heero said then walked out off. Duo grinned from ear to ear.
"How much you want to bet that he's going to go ask her right now?" Duo asked
The others remained silent and just watched Heero leave. Coming out of their shock they looked at Duo who had began his `Hunt' for a date.
"How did he do that?" Quatre asked the other two.
"I have no idea." Trowa answered
"No clue." Wufei answered then left not wanting to stay and watch Duo hit on girls all day.
Shortly after Wufei left Duo walked back to Trowa and Quatre looking down.
"Well lets head back." He said sadly.
"Don't worry there's always tomorrow." Quatre said trying to cheer up his friend.
"Hey your right!" Duo said perking up.
In a much happier mood he walked out with Quatre and Trowa right behind him.
*****************
Smiling at the book she was reading Anita was enjoying her day. Taking a moment from her book she looked at Reika.
"Enjoying yourself Reika?" Anita asked
Reika just lifted up her head and purred loudly.
"I'm glad." Anita said. Just as she was about to return her book she heard a shrill scream. Dropping her book, Anita jumped out of the tree, and ran towards the screaming with Reika not far behind her.
Turning a few corners she saw a girl being surrounded by a group of guys just outside of the school. As she neared she could hear them talking.
"Look what we got here boys. Ain't she a beauty." Boy One said
"I don't know Boss, she seems annoying to me." Boy Two said
"Well she is one of the snobbish girls that goes to this school." Boy Three said.
The girl looked at them scared but wasn't able to scream anymore because Boy Four had his hand over her mouth.
"So what do we do with her." Boy Four asked.
"We'll take her with us. We can probably make good money off of her from her parents and of course we'll have some fun with her as well." The Boss said and walked up to her caressing the girls' face.
The girl looked at them with fear as she realized what they were hinting at and tears began running down her face. Anita was enraged now.
"You will release her this instant." She shouted at them.
The boys turned around surprised. Taking advantage of the distraction the girl stepped on the one holding her foot and started to run towards Anita.
Boy Four yelped in pain and just before the girl could get far away The Boss grabbed her.
"And where do you think you're going?" He sneered
"Help me." The girl pleaded.
Anita's eyes widen in surprise as she recognized the voice and blurted out. "Relena?"
The Boss looked at the girl and smiled even more. "So we have a Princess boys."
The boys smiled evilly and looked at Anita.
"Hey Boss this one is a hell of a lot better looking then her." Boy Two pointed out
"Lets have some fun with her too." Boy Three said licking his lips.
Anita came out of her shock quickly when she heard them and her amber eyes stared at them in disgust. "You will release her now or face the consequences."
The boys laughed at her.
"Get her boys." The Boss said.
The three boys started to head towards Anita.
Anita remained where she was and waited. One of the boys tried to grab her but just before he grabbed her he was sent flying into the wall with a loud thud. The other two looked surprised but then grew angry and charged her. Flipping out of the way she kicked one of them in the back and punched to other in the face.
While fighting them the Boss started to drag Relena away. **I'll let them stall that girl and take this on away. She'll bring me a fortune.** Relena struggled against his grip. Becoming impatient with her he slapped her across the face. Relena looked shocked but then instinct took over. She bit him and clawed at him trying to get away. Being hurt the Boss became enraged and started to hit her more. Loosing his grip on her arm in the process Relena was able to get out and started to run until he grabbed her shirt and ripped part of in. He turned her around once his grip was firm and continued to drag her and would hit her when she struggled.
Anita was fighting the boys with ease and sent both of them into unconsciousness with in a few minutes. Taking a quick look around she saw Boy One, The Boss, beating up Relena. With speed she never knew she had Anita ran towards them. Just as his fist was about to connect with Relena's face it was stopped. Looking towards his hand he saw it was in that girls. She had stopped it before it could hit Relena's face! Growing angry he went to kick Anita.
Anita blocked the kick and pushed him back. Without looking at Relena Anita said, "Get back and far away."
Relena nodded and backed away still trying to overcome her shock.
Seeing Relena running away, The Boss went to go make a grab for her but was stopped by Anita.
"Bitch! You will pay!" He growled and charged Anita. Anita dodged the punch and threw one of her own which he was able to dodge as well. He then kicked her and punched her sending her to the ground. With her on the ground he kicked her a few times before she was able to roll out of the way. After the fifth kick she was able to get away. Standing back up she coughed up some blood. As he moved forward she punched hard sending him to the ground. Getting back up he was enraged.
"I have wasted enough of my time! You Die Now!" he shouted and pulled out a gun. Just before he could fire, a black blur tackled him. Landing hard on the ground the Boss fell into unconsciousness. Anita smiled at Reika and gathered the boys into a group. Taking off their belts and shirts she made a rope and tied them up. Taking out her portable phone she dialed up the police. Telling them of what just transpired she then remembered Relena and began looking for her. Hanging up the phone she limped over to her.
"Thank you Reika." Anita said to her friend as she limped to Relena
"Are you all right?" Anita asked Relena concerned. When she didn't receive an answer Anita placed her hand on Relena's shoulder and shock her lightly. "Hey snap out of it."
As soon as she did that Relena came to and looked at Anita. Anita saw the approaching tears and gathered her into her arms. "Go ahead and cry."
Once Relena heard that she began sobbing. Holding Relena Anita waited for the police to arrive. Upon their arrival Anita told them what happened. They took the boys away and Anita gave the police her number if they wanted to ask anymore questions. Putting her arms around Relena she led her to her room.
Anita began cleaning up Relena's face. Relena had big bruises on her face and a busted lip. Luckily she didn't have a black eye or any swelling. Leading Relena to a chair she sat her down and took notice of her uniform. Looking in her closet she pulled out one of her dresses she rarely wore and handed it to Relena.
"Here put this on. It should fit you." Anita said and walked out of the room. Heading to the kitchen she started to make some tea. Pouring it into some cups she brought them to her room. Opening the door she saw Relena standing there in the dress.
"I brought some tea. It should help calm down your nerves. Does the dress fit OK?" Anita asked placing the tray down on her desk.
"Y..Yes. Thank you." She said
Anita just nodded her head and handed Relena a cup of the tea. Taking a sip Relena looked at Anita curiously.
"Why did you help me? Especially after the way I have treated you." Relena asked.
Sitting down Anita looked at Relena. "No one deserves to be treated in such a manner. Just because you were rude to me doesn't mean I wouldn't help you."
"But then you could have had Heero all to yourself." She said.
"I'm not interested in Heero in that way. I consider him a friend and nothing more. The only reason I acted like that was because you pissed me off." Anita said calmly.
"Really? You have no interest in Heero?" Relena asked.
"None, but that doesn't give you the right to act the way you did. Do you know that Heero can't stand you?"
"I know." She whispered bowing her head.
"Then if you know why do you act that way." Anita asked.
"I love him and I know he doesn't feel the same way, but I just can't help it." She said and new tears started to run down her face.
Wiping away her tears Anita asked, "Do you think it's because of how you act when you see him. This is what you sound like when you are around him." And Anita imitated Relena's wail perfectly.
Relena flinched and shook her head no.
"You also glue yourself to him. I think Relena if you were to just be yourself around him. Then he may see you in a new light. Don't try being something your not."
"Do you really think so?" Relena asked
"Yes."
Relena smiled at Anita. "Thank you. I'm sorry for the way I have treated you. Please forgive me."
"There is nothing to forgive as long as you remain true to yourself." Anita said.
"Could..Could we start over maybe." Relena asked.
Thinking Anita looked at Relena and nodded her head. Smiling Relena stood up.
"Hello. My name is Relena Peacecraft. It is a pleasure meeting you."
"Hello. My name is Anita Devilan and I am honored to meet you." Anita answered back and shook Relena's hand that was offered her.
"Friends?" Relena asked hopefully.
"Friends." Anita said and smiled.
"So who are your roommates, Anita?" Relena asked.
Just then they heard the door open and yelling. Relena looked at Anita eyes wide when she recognized the voices. Anita walked out the door and turned around to Relena when she noticed that she hadn't moved.
"Coming?" she asked.
Relena just nodded and followed her out of the room. Entering the living room they saw Wufei chasing Duo while Quatre was trying to get them to stop. Trowa was leaning against the wall and Heero was doing the same but in the corner of the room.
"Ahh come on Wu-man. It was just a joke." Duo said dodging Wufei's attack.
"You dishonorable baka. You will pay for what you have done." Wufei growled.
"Guys please stop." Quatre pleaded.
Anita and Relena just watched the scene before them and the looked at each other thinking. **When will they ever grow up?**
Anita whispered to Relena. "I take it since you know Heero that you know everyone else."
"Yes." Relena whispered back.
"Just so you know Wufei and Duo are my roommates." She whispered back to Relena.
"I'm so sorry." Relena said
`Lets say its never boring here." Anita said smiling.
"I bet." Relena answered back
"Excuse me Relena. I have to go save Duo." Anita said and headed towards them
"Someone save me!" Duo yelled
"You are mine Maxwell!" Wufei shouted with triumph. Just as he was about to cut off the braid. His katana disappeared. Letting go of Duo he turned around and yelled at Anita.
"Damn you onna! Give me back my katana!"
"Here you go Chang. Please use the scissors I gave you last time. I mean you could really hurt someone swinging your katana around carelessly like that." Anita said in a chiding tone. Wufei's face turned red and was about to yell at her when she continued. "I mean really doing this in front of a guest to. You should really work on your manners."
Turning to Relena, Anita winked said. "Please forgive my friends. Sometimes they act like children."
Relena smiled and saw the wink and glint in Anita's eyes and said in reply, "Oh that is quite all right. I found out that most boys tend to be immature. Since they wish to play around like children would you care to join me for lunch?"
"Why I would love to? Shall we?" Anita said and directed Relena to the door.
Before leaving Relena turned to the pilots and said, "Good day children. Please inform us when playtime is over." And walked out.
The boys looked at the door. Wufei was red with anger. Quatre was blushing from embarrassment and his eyes were wide with shock. Trowa and Heero's eyes held surprise and Duo's mouth was hanging wide open.
*******************
I hope you liked it. I told you Relena would mature. With how both of them are I think that they would forgive each other's behavior and become friends. Please don't forget to review.
BubblyOne smiles and waves bye.
Well on with the story!

"Why I would love to? Shall we?" Anita said and directed Relena to the door.
Before leaving Relena turned to the pilots and said, "Good day children. Please inform us when playtime is over." And walked out.
The boys looked at the door. Wufei was red with anger. Quatre was blushing from embarrassment and his eyes were wide with shock. Trowa and Heero's eyes held surprise and Duo's mouth was hanging wide open.
*******************
I hope you liked it. I told you Relena would mature. With how both of them are I think that they would forgive each other's behavior and become friends. Please don't forget to review.
BubblyOne smiles and waves bye.
