Sorry for the long wait. I'm trying to update my stories as fast as I can
and it's hard with the hours I work. Twelve hour shifts with one day off.
Two or Three weeks ago it was twelve hour shifts no days off. And judging
by the News it looks like I'm here in the Desert longer than three months.
(Starts Crying.) "I want my TEDDY BEAR! (Husband)
To Sanonsuke: As far as Anita and Wufei not knowing Japanese and speaking I think you are wrong. You see in the Anime and in the Manga that I have read they are able to understand each other. I mean I watched the Anime subtitled and everyone understood him so thus I say he knows Japanese. Now for Anita, She knows Japanese because of her Mother and Chinese because of her Father and Grandmother. If you remember the little specks I gave on her in Chapter Nine it explains her background somewhat.
As for Wufei being too much of a woman hater to fall for Anita. People change and this is a Fanfiction story so anything is possible. If I wanted them to dance around singing I'm a Little Tea Pot in pink tutus then I can. It's a story. I try and keep people in character but to get the story I want they will have to change in some way. He still calls women onna and he still thinks women weak, but Anita proves herself otherwise thus he can accept her and the heart never follows what the mind says. He could come up with all kinds of reasons for not loving Anita but his heart knows the truth and would eventually act on what it felt. So just because he is a woman hater (And we know why he is like that) doesn't mean he can't fall in love with a woman and come to admit it.

Relena brushed the tears from her eyes as she went to her favorite spot. It was so hard knowing that you loved someone, but they didn't love you back. **I guess I was wrong. He only sees me as a mission and nothing more. How could I have been so stupid?** she asked herself as she took a seat. Feeling a hand on her shoulder she turn to see Duo there in his normal garb. She patted his hand reassuring him that she was all right. **Anita must have told him.** she thought.
"Will you sit by me today in class?" Relena asked Duo in a quite voice. Duo seemed surprised by this but nodded his head. "I'm sorry about earlier, Duo. I hope you're not mad at me."
"Nah." Duo replied shaking his head. Sitting down he started doing silly little things to cheer Relena up. Heero walked in to see Relena smiling at Duo and he frowned. He remembered what Anita said and wondered was it already to late. Duo noticed Heero there even though Relena hadn't and a plan began to form in his mind. It was about time that Heero admitted his feelings. Sitting down by Relena he put his arm around her and smiled inside as he felt Heero's glare tearing him apart. "So Relena spill. I know something is bothering you. Is it Heero? I promise I won't tell."
Relena was quiet for a moment then the tears started up again. "Why? Why can't he love me?" she sobbed out burying her head into Duo's shoulder. "I'm just a mission to him. Duo I can't take this anymore! It hurts so much, oh it hurts so much." She said breaking into sobs.
Heero watched everything and something inside urged him to take Duo's place. This wasn't her normal crying. No this was the heartbreaking sobs of a woman whose heart was on the verge of breaking. Feeling pain in his heart he grabbed his chest in confusion. He was trained that emotions were bad for a Perfect Soldier. They only interfered with the mission, but if that was true then what about the others. They were soldiers like him and they showed their emotions and the mission went as planned. So was having emotions bad? Not understanding what was happening to him Heero walked into the clearing silently. Giving Duo a look he took Duo's place though unsure of why he was doing this. Relena didn't seem notice as she continued to sob. Duo left with a smile on his face and left to go find Anita and tell her what he'd done and to figure out how to get those pictures from Wu-ma.
Heero felt awkward to say the least he didn't even know why he took Duo's place, but he couldn't stand to see Relena like this. Yes she was annoying at first with her glomping him and calling out his name, but when she stopped he missed it. Then when she and Duo were around they became so close that he was jealous.
"I love him so much, Duo, that it tears my heart out when I know he doesn't love me. Maybe.Maybe I should give up and move on. I..I mean why wait for someone that won't ever love you back." She said on Heero's shoulder still not realizing that it wasn't Duo she was talking to.
Hearing her say that Heero wrapped his arms around her tightly afraid that she would disappear. "NO!" he said harshly letting an emotion claim him. Relena gasped as she recognized that voice and looked up to see Heero there holding her tightly to him. "Heero!" she exclaimed surprised. Looking into her eyes Heero came to a decision. Bending down he captured Relena's lips with his. Relena's eyes widen in surprise then they closed as she lost herself in his kiss.
Heero broke the kiss and looked at Relena as she opened her eyes. He saw confusion, happiness, and fear war with each other. Relena was happy. Heero kissed her, but then she was confused as to why. After all he was the Perfect Soldier then fear took hold of her as she wondered. **Would he regret it then walk away from her. If he did that she would die inside.**
"Heero?" Relena started before his finger cover her mouth asking for silence. "No more waiting." Was all he said hoping Relena would understand. He wasn't one for words and he knew he wouldn't be able to bring himself to tell he loved her yet. It would take time but one day he could and would. Relena understood what he meant and her eyes beamed with happiness but quickly vanished as Heero's communicator went off. She could hear Trowa's voice as he said, "Heero we have a problem. Quatre is missing and it looks like he was taken by force." "Hn. Where was it?" "The Library." "Gather the others and met me there." Heero said and cut off the communication.
"I'm coming to." Relena said firmly Heero was about to tell her no, but then thought better of it. With everyone at the Library it would be better so they could still protect her and look for Quatre. "Fine." He replied and helping her up he headed to the Library with Relena by his side.
********************
Anita sighed to herself with boredom. All the guys disappeared and she couldn't figure out where they went. So here she was in class alone. Sure there were other students here but they avoided her. At the moment she didn't care. She knew she had friends now and a boyfriend. Coming here had been her Grandmother's best idea. ** I wonder if Grandma saw this with her gift before she passed on.** Anita wondered. Looking at the clock her last class for the day was about to end and she could go out and look for everyone. It was odd how she couldn't find anyone of them after lunch and it was also worrying her. **If they went on a mission without telling me then I'll kill them.** she thought to herself. **Especially Fei-chan.**
Hearing the bell ring she dashed out of class and ran to her room. Changing quickly she knocked on Wufei's and Duo's doors receiving no answer. Reika watched her mistress and followed her around as she ran out of the room. Anita knocked on the Heero's, Trowa's, and Quatre's doors as well receiving no answer. Deciding to head to Relena's she took off with Reika beside her. Reaching Relena's room she knocked and just like the boys there was no answer. **Where is everyone?**
Anita decided to head to the Library to see if Quatre or Trowa may be there. Nearing the Library she froze as a feeling of violence consumed her. Running to the Library she looked around to see it in complete disarray. Walking in she looked around and saw everyone there even Millardo and Noin talking. Heero was frowning which was surprising, but Duo looked so angry that it sent a shiver down her spine. Looking around she didn't notice Quatre there. For some unknown reason she remained hidden and listened to their conversation.
"It had to be the assassin." Millardo said looking at the mess in the Library. "But what would he want with Quatre?" Relena asked "Information more than likely or he went after the weaker of us so he could eventually get to you once we're all dead." Wufei stated
Anita's eyes widen at that and held in her gasp. Tears started to form but she pushed it back as anger over took her. This assassin was going to pay! He just took one of her rare friends and she wouldn't stand for it. Feeling a rub against her leg she saw Reika there comforting her. Calming down slightly she closed her eyes and for the first time in ages she completely put her barriers down. It would hurt like hell but she had to know what happened and where Quatre was at.
Gripping the bookcase wave after wave of pain hit her as she felt the struggle that had occurred in the room. In her minds eye she watched as the assassin had snuck behind him, but Quatre had seemed to sense him so how and moved out of the way quickly. Sliding down the shelf she watched as Quatre did his best to fight back, but the assassin was too skilled. He punched Quatre here and there clearly playing with him. The assassin was enjoying the beating he was giving Quatre. She watched as Quatre suddenly pulled the assassin's mask off. Anita gasped and her eyes widen in fear as she saw who it was.
**No it can't be! He's dead!** her mind screamed. Then seeing the assassin take something out she screamed a warning so lost in the scene.
While she was doing this Trowa noticed Anita there and gathering everyone's attention he indicated towards her. Looking at her they could see her eyes looking towards them but not really seeing them. Her eyes seemed to glow and she was shaking as if she was in great pain. Wufei was immediately at her side when she slid down the bookshelf. She winced in pain and Wufei noticed blood running down the corner of her mouth. Worried he grasped her and started calling her name, but she didn't seem to hear him. Shaking her she still didn't respond then suddenly she gasped and her eyes widened in fear and she shouted out,
"No Xaing! Leave Quatre alone!" then she fainted breathing heavily.
Everyone seemed slightly surprised at this and stood frozen. Heero quickly came out of his surprise and motioned to Wufei to pick Anita up and follow him. Whatever happened Anita had some connection to it and Heero was bound to find out. Wufei was surprised and wondered who this Xaing was. Picking up Anita he followed Heero. He wanted answers as well and to have that they needed the only one who may have those answers awake.
Heero went to the nurses' office and indicated for Wufei to lie her down. The others had followed and now they were watching and waiting. Heero placed smelling salts underneath Anita's nose and she immediately woke up.
Feeling everything around her she quickly put of her barriers again. She hurt all over inside and out. Tears started to form and ran down her face. Still somewhat out of it she began talking in a soft voice but it was loud enough for all to hear.
"How could you, Xaing? How could you?"
Wufei frowned at the name and jealously welled up in him. **Who is this Xaing?**
"Who is Xaing and what did he do with Quatre?" Heero demanded in his monotone voice.
Anita came back to herself and looked directly at Heero pain evident in her eyes. "Someone who was supposed to be dead. Someone who will die when I see him again. He took Quatre."
"How do you know?" Millardo demanded.
"I saw it. I felt it. The pain. The violence. He enjoyed hurting Quartre, but he didn't kill him. I would know. You can't forget that kind of pain." Anita answered.
"You're not making sense." Millardo growled at her stepping forward, but Trowa stopped him and looked at Anita.
"You have a gift like Quatre does don't you." He said, "That's how you know. You truly did see, but unlike Quatre yours has a cost."
Anita turned her head not looking at anyone, but that was answer enough. The others looked at Trowa and back at Anita who refused to look at anyone.
"Could you find him?" Trowa asked
"No need." A cold voice said and suddenly smoke filled the room. Anita felt someone picking her up and immediately punched him feeling nauseated. She knew that it was Xaing and she wouldn't let him have what ever he came for. She fell to the floor with a cry of pain and using the smoke to her advantage she crawled towards where the door was. Standing on shaky legs she opened and they slid down the wall next two as the pain she still felt radiated through her body.
Xaing cursed as the smoke began to dissipate. "I'll get you Angning! You are mine! And I'll kill that pig who has touched what is mine!" he shouted then quickly left.
