Author's Note: Here's chapter five! Wufei has a bigger part in this one. I'll try to give him bigger parts in the following chapters. So far this was my favorite chapter to write. I'll stop rambling now... ^_^*

Disclaimer: I do not own them, wish I did, but I don't. If anyone wanted to give them to me I would gladly accept!

A Tale Re-Told

Chapter Five: A Love Rekindled

Mina stared at the ceiling of the room she shared with Quatre and Duo. It had been three days since the knowledge of Wufei being in Chicago had reached them, and nothing had happened. Heero, Trowa, Quatre, and Duo had not allowed them to leave their hotel rooms for three days. They were only allowed to go to each other's hotel room, and possibly the lobby if at least one of the guys accompanied them. Mina was getting restless. Everyday had been the same. Heero, Trowa, or Duo would go out and get food for the girls and themselves while Quatre stayed with them and did paperwork. 'If I don't do something soon I'm going to go insane,' Mina thought. Just then a soft knock sounded at her door. Mina stood up and walked over to the door.

"Who is it?"

"It's Rei. Let me in."

Mina opened the door to see a very frustrated and pissed off Rei. "What happened?"

Rei stormed into the room and sat down in one of the chairs. "That baka! He won't let me go anywhere! I'll go crazy cooped up in this damn hotel!"

Mina shut the door and sat in a chair opposite from Rei. "I take it we're talking about Mr. Heero Yuy?"

"Who else!?" Rei let out a frustrated sigh. "He said that it was too much of a risk for us to go outside of our rooms. Even during the day!"

Mina looked at her friend thoughtfully, she knew that Rei liked Heero, a lot, but she wouldn't admit it. "Did you ever think that he might care?"

Rei stood up and started pacing the room. "Yeah, he cares. About his job!" Rei looked over at Mina, a small grin on her face.

"Oh, no… What are you thinking…" Mina had seen that look way too many times to think it was innocent.

"We're gonna break out, tonight. We'll go have some fun! It'll be better than staying here while Duo, Heero, and Trowa go patrol, or whatever it is they do every night."

Mina looked at her friend quizzically, "Are you sure we should?"

Rei grabbed Mina's hand and dragged her toward the door. "Of coarse I am! Now let's go see if we can drag Usagi away from Trowa for a minute and tell her our plan."

Mina crept out of her room and across the hall. They had decided to go to one of their favorite clubs to have some fun. Mina's hair was pulled into a tight ponytail placed high on her head. She was wearing green spaghetti-strap tank top and leather pants. Her boots were made of black leather and had four inch heels and her leather jacket hung to her mid-thigh. She knocked softly on the door to Rei's room. A second later, Rei crept out of the room wearing a red shirt and a leather skirt. Her knee-high boots were also leather and like Mina's, her leather jackets hung down to mid-thigh.

"You ready?" whispered Mina.

"Yeah, all we have to do now is get Usagi and get the hell out of here," Rei whispered back.

They walked to the next door down and knocked softly on the door. Usagi appeared a few seconds later in a dark blue tank top, leather pants, black boots, and a leather coat. The three friends silently crept down the hall towards the stairs and out the door.

Heero cursed as he heard his cell phone ring. 'What could they possibly need now,' he thought as he hunted the pockets of his leather trench coat for the phone. He finally found it and quickly hit the talk button. "What."

"Hey Heero… We've got a small problem," Duo said.

Heero rolled his eyes, "What is it now Duo. Out of popcorn?"

"Uhh… yes, actually. But that's not what I'm talking about."

"Then what is it!" Heero was starting to get annoyed. Why couldn't he just blurt it out?

"The thing is… three people seem to be missing from their rooms."

"WHAT!?" Heero yelled into his phone, which made the few people who were walking down the street he was on look at him oddly. Heero just ignored them. "You were supposed to be watching them!"

"I know! I had gone down to the lobby for a minute and when I got back all three of them were gone!"

Heero sighed, he had gotten about five hours of sleep in the past three days and it was starting to show. "Do you have any idea where they might have gone?"

There was a pause on the other side of the line as Duo thought. "My guess would be a club or something like that. I'd probably have gone insane being locked in a hotel for three days, so they probably wanted to get out and have some fun."

Heero stopped walking as he thought about where he was. Some of the best clubs in town were only a few blocks from where he was. If he remembered correctly, he heard Usagi talking to Trowa about one of their favorite clubs in town being there. 'That's probably where they are,' he thought.

"Hey Heero, ya still there?"

"Yeah, here's the plan. Call Quatre and Trowa and tell them what happened. Tell them to meet me near the club called 'Steps' (A/N: Yeah, I know that that's the club from "Save the Last Dance", but I'm on a name shortage here and I couldn't think of a better name! PS: It's not gonna be like the club from the movie, I'm just borrowing the name. ^_^*). You stay at the hotel incase anyone calls or if they show up. Call if anything happens."

"Roger that, Heero."

Heero hit the "end" button on his phone and quickly walked down the street towards the club. He couldn't let Wufei get his hands on Mina. If Wufei got a hold of her his mission would be a complete failure; he couldn't let that happen. His thoughts turned to Rei. He didn't want to admit it, but he cared for the raven-haired vixen. He quickened his pace as he walked down the street.

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Mina grinned as she sat down at the bar with her two friends. The club was packed and the music was blasting to the point that you had to scream in someone's ear so they could hear you. Multi-colored lights flashed around the room at a dizzying pace. She felt a tap on her shoulder and saw Usagi walk off to the dance floor with a tall blonde. Rei sat next to her watching Usagi dance with the stranger.

"Aren't you glad that we got out of there!?" Rei yelled over the music.

"Yeah! This is great!" Mina yelled back.

"What can I get for you ladies?" The bartender asked. He had red and blue hair and black eyes. He winked at Mina and Rei.

Mina and Rei looked at each other, trying not to laugh. "We'll take two beers." Rei said.

"Comin' right up girls."

"He was pretty cute." Mina said once the bartender had left to get their drinks.

"I'll agree with you there. He has a cute ass."

"Rei!"

"So that's her name, and thanks for the compliment about my ass." Sometime during their conversation the bartender had re-appeared with their drinks. "I'm Chris." He placed the two drinks in front of the girls.

"Nice to meet you Chris," said Rei. "How much do we owe you?"

"There on me. But only under one condition."

"And what condition might that be?" Mina looked at him skeptically.

"That your friend here dances with me. I get off in five minutes."

Rei winked at Mina. "It's a deal."

"Ok, see ya in a few."

When Mina was sure that Chris was out of earshot she turned to Rei and poked her arm. "Lucky!"

"Yeah, yeah. But we got free beer's out of it." Rei grinned, "That's the best part!"

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Wufei walked into the club, his leather trench coat billowing out behind him. He could sense her near him. As he walked though the masses of people, many if not all the girls turned to glance at him. He ignored all of them and walked towards the bar. There she was. Wufei stopped about ten feet from her, memorizing every curve, of her. She had taken her leather jacket off and it was now lying across her leather-clad legs. Her green tank top molded to her skin perfectly.

Mina could feel someone's eyes on her. She turned around to see a young man looking strait at her. His black hair was held back in a tight ponytail. His black 'wife beater' showed every muscle in his chest. Mina looked into the man's eyes and shuddered. They were cold and mysterious, yet they help an inner fire.

Wufei looked into her eyes; they were endless blue oceans full of innocence and emotion. He walked over to the bar and sat down next to her. For a moment the looked at each other. Neither of them spoke. Finally, Wufei broke the silence. "My lady." He took her hand in his and raised it to his lips. Just before his lips touched her hand, he turned her hand so he kissed soft flesh of the inside of her hand.

Mina shivered when his lips touched her skin. His touch sent waves of fire and intense passion through her veins. Her feeling of passion was only matched by the look in his eyes when he raised his lips from her hand. They stared at each other, neither knowing what to say. Mina thought that this was only love at first site, she didn't know that these feelings had been suppressed for more than a century. "I'm Mina. What's your name?"

Wufei looked down at the girl next to him. He still held her hand in his. He raised it to his lips again. He then leaned forward, his lips resting next to her ear. Her sent of lily's filled his mind as he breathed. "I'm yours," he whispered. He them lowered his mouth till it rested less than an inch away from the soft flesh of her neck. Just then he heard a gun cock next to his ear. He froze.

"Get away from her, Wufei."

Wufei turned around to see the perfect soldier standing in front of him. He smirked dangerously. "Well, well, well. If it isn't Heero Yuy. Or is it his great-grandson now? So much time has passed since those days."

"Get away from her."

"Now why would I want to do that?" Wufei caressed Mina's cheek softly; "We've just been reunited after so long."

Another voice spoke from his other side. "You heard Heero, get away from her."

Wufei turned to see two more men glaring at him. One had a silver stake poised and ready to strike. The other held a gun like Heero's. Both guns held bullets mad of silver. "I see that you have not come alone. But mark my words Yuy, none of you will keep me from her. It is destiny." Wufei disappeared into the crowd.

Mina sat in her chair in shock. Millions of emotions hit her at the same time. Love, hate, fear… lust. She didn't know why or how, but she loved that man. The man that wanted to take her life. She felt a gentle had on her shoulder and looked up into the worried face of Quatre.

"Are you ok Mina? Did he hurt you?"

Mina shook her head, "No, I'm ok Quatre, just a little freaked."

Quatre helped her stand and placed her jacket around her shoulders. "Let's go, we shouldn't stay hear much longer."

Mina looked around the dance floor for Rei and Usagi. "Wait Quatre. What about Rei and Usagi? We can't leave them here."

Quatre started leading her towards the door. "Don't worry about them. Heero and Trowa went to get them. They'll meet us outside."

~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~ * ~

Wufei followed the group when they left the club. He could see Heero fighting with a raven-haired girl, while Trowa was holding another girl with blonde hair close to him and whispering things into her ear. Quatre was supporting Mina as they walked away. He silently watched them. Mina looked paler than usual and had to be supported by Quatre so she wouldn't fall over. The girl that looked so much like Mina was standing next to Trowa looking frightened. Trowa had his arm around the girl's waist in a comforting manner, trying to calm her down. Heero was still engaged in a verbal battle with the girl with black hair. He could see how frustrated he looked. 'Well, it seems that the perfect soldier does have a weakness… A woman has stolen his heart,' Wufei thought, as he watched the two continue to yell at each other. His eyes turned back to Mina, he looked at her tenderly. Her blonde hair glowed softly under the streetlights. She was staring at the ground wordlessly as they walked up the steps of a large hotel. Wufei follow her up the stairs with his eyes, 'I'm falling in love with her all over again…'

A/N: That's it for this chapter! If you haven't notice by now, I have a "slight" obsession with all things leather. Expect more leather items to show up in later chapters (Not THAT type of leather item for you hentai's out there! This fic will not become NC-17!). Oh yeah, please review. If I don't get any review's I start to think that no one is reading this, and if no one is reading this it makes me think that it's not very good. So please review if you want me to continue. Thanks for reading!
