Chapter Two
Uhh…what?!

"Quatre, have you seen my Hee-koi?" Relena asked as she barged into the living room.

"YOUR HEE-KOI?!" Kõri screeched in horror.

"As if Heero-sama would like a ditz like you," Kaze snorted.

"What? You're crazy girl. Of course he would. He loves me," Relena stuck her nose in the air.

"No he wouldn't you bitch!" Kaze went to smack Relena across the face, but Quatre stopped her.

"Who the hell do you think you are? Trying to tell what to do?" Relena lost her cool and glared at the brunette.

"They're the new team Relena. The X Team in fact," Trowa informed the ex-princess, he eyes closed and arms crossed as he leaned against the wall.

"WHAT?!" Relena yelled this time and made everyone cover their ears.

"Relena, please, there is no need to yell," Quatre said soothingly.

"Yes there is! As if Heero would like these… vagabonds rather than a princess like me!"

At that moment, Heero walked in and heard what she said.

"That goes to show how much you really know about me Relena," he said quietly.

"Heero!" Relena exclaimed and ran to him. She didn't get very fair as Kaze and Mizu stood in her way.

"How dare you say that about us! If anyone's a tramp around here it's you Miss Peacecraft," Kõri said, her voice bitter with disgust, "If Hi-oneesan was here she would have killed you by now."

"Heero, you surely can't like these insane people," Relena whined.

Just as she finished speaking, an arrow of fire cam flying through the window and hit the wall with a 'thwack'. Kõri went of to inspect it and as she'd thought, it was a note for Relena.

'Dear Miss Peacecraft,

I will have you know that Heero's my brother and even though we're not blood related, we are as close as family can get. So I would watch what I say about me if I were you.

Hi Ryu-Yuy'

As Kõri finished reading the note, Relena promptly fainted. Everyone stared at the unconscious ex-princess.

"Rashid, could you please get someone to take Miss Relena home?" Quatre murmured to Rashid, who'd appeared out of nowhere.

He nodded in reply and picked up Relena and left.

"Now Kõri, what did you mean by before when you said 'If Hi were here'? Where is she?" Heero scowled at the 06 pilot.

"Wufei had a cranky and she left with him," Mizu answered.

"Uhh…what?!"

The Hangar

Hi contacted Kaze via the COM device she had with her. She told her to tell Heero not to worry and that they knew what they were doing. After she'd signed off, she'd helped Wufei store his things in his gundam.

"So, where is your gundam woman?" Wufei asked.

"Over there," Hi pointed to a row of small, human-shaped objects.

Wufei went over to them and had a closer look, "They can't be gundams! They're too small!"

Hi shrugged slightly, "They're the new models the scientists are working on. They're much lighter and easier to manoeuvre than you type. They're called Hardsuit Gundams."

Wufei snorted and walked back to his gundam, "Whatever, just hurry up because I'm leaving."

Hi sighed and got into her gundam, not able to store any of her things as there was no room for them. Wufei begrudgingly put her bag into his cockpit. As soon as he was ready, they left.

Travelling (Talking Over The Vid-Link)

"Wufei… where are we going exactly?" Hi asked, a little confused as she darted about after the 05 pilot.

"We're going to see what it's like fighting for the other side," Wufei said, his voice cold.

"WHAT?! YOU WANT TO JOIN OZ?! YOU'RE NUTS!" Hi yelled over the COM. "What about your friends?!"

"What friends? Woman, I don't have any friends," Wufei replied in a hushed tone.

"Yes you do. I know you think women are weak and all, but I still want to be your friend if you let me. Why would I come with you if I didn't like you?" Hi said, compassion for him in her voice.

Wufei wasn't sure what to say in reply to that, so he switched off the COM device. They didn't talk again for the rest of the trip.

Back At Quatre's

Kaze rushed into the dining room later on that day. Everyone was in there having a meeting about what to do with Wufei and Hi.

"Guys! I just got off the COM with Hi. Apparently Wufei is going to join OZ!" she exclaimed.

"What?!" the group expressed their shock in unison.

"You heard me," Kaze rolled her eyes.

"What are we going to do now?" Mizu asked.

"We'll go by what Hi said to do. We have to leave them alone. She can work on him. I know she can," Kõri replied.

Heero stood up from the table, "No. I will go after them."

He left without waiting for a reply.

OZ Headquarters

"Sir, one of the gundam pilots is here. He has some girl with him. They want to see you."

"Show them in," Trieze Khrushrenada said, fiddling with a feather-tipped pen. Lady Une stared at him with a startled expression.

"Sir, are you sure about this?" Une inquired as the soldier returned with Wufei and Hi.

"Lady Une, have some respect," Trieze said mildly and then smiled at the two newcomers, "Please. Come and have a seat. Tell me why you're here."

"My comrade and I have decided to join OZ," Wufei said, indicating Hi, "We believe that our fellow pilots have turned on us for wanting the things OZ believes in."

Trieze quirked one of his forked eyebrows, "Very well, but if you are to work for me you must prove your loyalty. If you can bring in two of the gundam pilots as prisoners, I will accept your story."

Lady Une snorted in disgust. She couldn't believe that Trieze was being so gullible.

"Any particular pilots?" Hi asked.

Trieze smiled his fake smile at her, "Any of them as long as there are two."

Hi and Wufei saluted Trieze and left the room to do their mission.

"Sir are you sure we can trust them?" Lady Une questioned as soon as they were gone.

Trieze frowned at her, "You don't trust my judgement."

It was more of a statement than a question and Une knew what the right answer was, "Oh yes sir, of course."

The Hangar At Quatre's

"That's weird," Quatre rubbed his chin in confusion as he and Mizu walked into the hangar, "I thought Wufei took his gundam with him."

Mizu followed Quatre's gaze and sure enough, there was Altron.

"Oh shit," was all Mizu could get out before she was hit over the head and fell to the ground.

Quatre turned around to see what was wrong and came face to blade with Wufei's katana.

"Wufei, you take Mizu. I'll deal with Quatre," Hi said and walked over to the Arabian pilot.

Wufei nodded and picked up the fallen Ryu twin and carried her to his gundam.

"Quatre," Hi started, "you have to play along with this or else we're all dead you understand?" Hi murmured.

"What's going on?" Quatre asked, feeling concerned for Mizu's safety.

"Don't worry, Mizu is safe. I'll explain everything on the way ok? You'll have to tell Mizu when she wakes up," Hi said and handed Quatre a COM device.

Quatre nodded slowly and then Hi grabbed him and took him to Wufei's gundam.

OZ Headquarters

"We've captured two of the gundam pilots Master Trieze," Wufei said as he and Hi walked into the room. They were followed by four OZ soldiers who carried the unconscious Mizu and the startled Quatre.

"That was certainly quick. Very well," Trieze said, "I suppose this makes you part of OZ now doesn't it?"

He stood up from his chair and walked over to Hi. He reached out and touched her cheek with the side of his hand.

"What is your name pretty thing?" he purred.

Hi flinched and Wufei nearly went mad at Trieze. Hi pulled her face back an inch, "My name is Hi Kagebõshi Ryu, Master Trieze." She thought frantically for a moment then said, "Chang Wufei is my boyfriend."

"Oh," Trieze looked momentarily stunned, but quickly regained his stature. He stepped away from her, "I see."

Wufei glared in their general direction and Hi wasn't sure if the glare was for her or Trieze. Whoever it was she was just glad to get Trieze away from her.

"Take those two to their cell," Trieze ordered them. Hi and Wufei backed away and left.

In The Hall

"Onna! What were you thinking?" Wufei snapped.

"Wufei, please calm down," Quatre spoke up.

"Stay out of this Winner! I'm no longer you comrade, so you just shut up and leave me alone," Wufei snarled and pulled out his katana.

"Wufei! Put that away. I told Quatre what we're doing here. They've got the escape plan, so just be rational for a one moment in your life," Hi said, her voice deadly calm.

Wufei relented, "Fine woman… just make sure they don't get caught."

They walked in silence to the cell.

After locking Quatre and Mizu inside, Hi and Wufei went to their shared apartment that Trieze had given them a key for. As soon as they were inside Wufei exploded.

"ONNA ARE YOU NUTS?!" Wufei yelled.

"NO I AM NOT, NOW SHUT UP!" Hi yelled back at him and stormed into their mini-kitchen that adjoined the main room.

"Don't walk away from me when I'm talking to you Meilan!" Wufei hollered and followed her.

Hi stopped dead and turned around, "What did you just call me?" She gave him a confused look.

Wufei looked strained, "I just called you 'Meilan' didn't I?"

"Yes you did… who is she Wufei?"

"Why should I tell you? I don't need your sympathy," Wufei mumbled, as Hi hadn't him a drink.

He swallowed the drink in one go and cringed as it burned his throat.

"God, what is that?" he choked out.

Hi smirked, "Vodka."

Wufei blinked for a moment, "Gimme another one."

The Cell

"I am so pissed off right now!" Mizu yelled and kicked the wall of the cell.

Quatre grabbed her and sat her down, "There's a reason for all of this Mizu." He went about explaining it to her.

A while later Mizu was sitting there staring at Quatre in disbelief.

"Wow, I can't believe it," she muttered, "But I guess I can deal with it as long as I get to do a prank on her."

"Don't forget she gave us an escape route," Quatre looked at his watch, "The cell door is supposed to unlock itself… just about… now."

They heard is click and then Quatre went over and tested it. The door swung open.

"Let's go," he said and they made their escape.

Trieze's Office

Hi and Wufei rushed into Trieze's office after passing the empty cell. Well Wufei sort of stumbled because of all the vodka he'd drunk.

"Something wrong?" Trieze looked up from his computer.

"Master Trieze," Hi gasped and put her hands on her knees, "The two gundam pilots escaped!"

Wufei and Hi collapsed into his office chairs.

"What?!" he called some soldiers into this office, "You lot, go capture those pilots!"

"Yes sir!" the soldiers saluted and left.

Trieze looked at them, "How did this happen?" He peered closer at Wufei, "Is he alright? He looks a bit out of it."

Hi giggled a bit, "Uhh, that's because he's drunk."

"Sir what should we do about the two pilots that escaped?" Lady Une asked as she came in.

"I have some soldiers after them, but they'll escape… they're too smart for those idiots you hired Une."

"Sir what do you want us to do?" Hi inquired.

"Go back to your room. I thank you for telling us that they got away. I'll send someone for you when I need you," Trieze replied.

Hi nodded and stood up. She dragged Wufei with her, but he pulled away and stared at Lady Une. He leered at her and started singing in Chinese. Lady Une looked back at him in disgust.

"Um, I'm sorry Lady Une," Hi said and grabbed Wufei, "Wufei's a little 'under the weather' if you catch my drift."

Wufei wouldn't move so Hi slapped him, "Hey Wufei!!"

"DON'T HIT ME!" Wufei yelled and stormed out leaving Lady Une and Hi looking after him with startled expressions.

"I'm so sorry about Wufei's behaviour during this meeting. It won't happen again," Hi saluted and rushed after him back to their room.

"Sir, I don't trust them…" Lady Une murmured.

"I don't care if you do or not. You don't have an opinion," Trieze reminded her.

"Of course Sir. I'm sorry Sir."

Wufei And Hi's Room

"How dare you!" Wufei reached out and slapped Hi. He was so mad at her for hitting him.

"That was a big mistake Chang," Hi growled and punched Wufei in the face. As he was so drunk, the punch knocked him to the ground. He bumped his head on the floor and fell unconscious.

"That was dumb Ryu," Hi muttered to herself and dragged the fallen Chinese pilot to the bedroom. She heaved him onto the bed and disappeared into the kitchen.

Around half an hour later Wufei woke up and found himself on the bed.

"Urgh… what hit me? I know, that stupid woman did something to me," Wufei concluded and dragged himself off the bed. "Time to teach her a lesson."

Out in the kitchen Hi was listening to the radio as she made herself and Wufei something to eat. She was so caught up in the music that she didn't hear Wufei walk in.

Wufei walked up behind her and with a smirk, watched her hips wiggle as she danced. He shook his head, "What the hell am I thinking?!"

He wrapped his arms around her waist and peered over her shoulder into the pot on the stove.

Hi jumped in surprise, "Oh Wufei! You scared me!"

Wufei chuckled, "That was the idea." He started to move his hands along her sides in seductive strokes.

"Umm… Wufei? What are you doing?" Hi squeaked and tried to get out of his grip.

"I'm going to teach you a lesson…" he answered and kissed the back of her neck. Hi felt shivers rush down her spine. Then Wufei pulled away, "We'll eat first." He went and sat at the table.

Hi blinked, and then recovered, "So you're just going to sit there and not help me?" she asked.

"Does it look like it?" Wufei smirked.

Hi glared at him, "Fine, whatever then. Do you want a drink?"

"Yeah. Do we have anymore of that vodka?" he asked, closing his eyes. He'd gotten a splitting headache from somewhere and that sounded like it would cure it.

"Yes we do," Hi went over and poured him a shot and one for herself. She plonked it on the table in front of him, splashing a little bit onto the table.

Wufei opened his eyes and looked at the glass, then took a long swig until he drained the glass. Hi in the meantime served up the dinner and set his plate in front of him, "You majesty," she said jokingly.

"Onna what is this stuff?" Wufei asked, peering warily at the plate.

"Just eat it. It tastes better than it looks," she replied and sat down with her own plate.

"I'm not eating this woman," Wufei complained after a moment of prodding the stuff around.

Hi finished her plateful and carried it to the sink. She came back with a rope and tied Wufei to his chair, "Oh yes you are. Even if I have to force you."

"What are you doing?" Wufei growled.

"Making you eat," she said she stuffed a forkful of the food into his mouth while he was protesting.

"You know you're going to be taught a serious lesson after this," he threatened once all the food was gone from his plate.

"Now was that so hard?" she giggled and took the plate to the sink.

At Quatre's

"Where have you been?" Kõri asked when Quatre and Mizu walked in.

"They took us to OZ," Mizu said quietly.

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN?" Heero yelled. He'd been to OZ and couldn't locate them anywhere, so he'd returned.

"It's ok Heero, they're working undercover," Quatre informed him as well as the rest of the group.

"That's all they better be doing, or so help me…" Heero trailed off and Kõri noted that there were two different meanings to what he'd said.

At OZ

"Sir, I know I have no opinion, but I feel like those pilots are plotting against us and the OZ Organization," Lady Une said as Trieze paced around his office.

"Lady Une, it sounds like you're questioning my judgement again," Trieze stopped and sat behind his desk.

"I'm sorry Sir, but I still feel uncomfortable with them here," Lady admitted and stood beside his desk.

Trieze reached over and patted her arm, "Go to your room Lady Une. Get some sleep and stop stressing over nothing."

Lady Une nodded mutely and walked out.

Quatre's Mansion

The next morning Duo walked with Quatre to the dining room for breakfast. "Did you find out when they're coming back?" he asked.

"No, Hi didn't tell me, that's what I'm worried about," Quatre confessed.

They sat down at the table.

"Don't worry Quatre. I'm sure they know what they're doing. They are gundam pilots after all," Trowa popped his head over the top of the newspaper he was reading.

"Oh yeah, that makes him feel so much better," Duo rolled his eyes.

OZ Headquarters

As Hi woke up that morning, she found something large in the bed next to her.

"What the hell?" she thought and saw clothes all over the floor. The problem was, they weren't just her clothes. Just then the thing next to her groaned and sat up taking the bedclothes with him and revealing to Hi that she was indeed very naked. She looked over and was very shocked to find…

"ONNA WHAT ARE YOU DOING IN MY BED?!" Wufei shouted.

"Don't blame me!" Hi defended herself and tried to cover her nudity, "If anyone's to blame then it's you for getting so drunk!"

Hi pulled the bedclothes away from Wufei and over herself and exposed his own complete nakedness to them both. Wufei turned bright red and yanked half of the sheets back.

"You gave the damn stuff to me in the first place!" Wufei argued.

"But I didn't make you drink it? Did I?!" Hi yelled.

"No, but you made me eat that awful food! I remember that!" he snarled.

"Oh get fucked Wufei!" Hi spat and turned away from him, not wanting to get out of the bed with him still there.

"No, I believe I'm the one who does the fucking," he smirked suddenly and grabbed her by the waist.

Hi blinked in shock as he kissed her.

Quatre's Computer Room

"What are we gonna do about Wufei-san and Hi-chan?" Mizu asked as she watched Kaze, Kõri and Heero working on their computers.

"We'll see what the scientists have to say, but if I know them, it's their mission and we would have been sent notice if we were included," Heero answered, typing at his computer.

"I don't know Heero. Lady Une seemed suspicious of them when Mizu and I were there," Quatre pointed out as he sat next to the said pilot.

"Heero-sama, I'm scared about what's going to happen to them," Kaze said softly, looking over at him from her computer.

The group went silent at that comment… then Kõri spoke.

"That's it, I don't care if it's their mission! I'm going to go and get them out of there. Are you two with me?" Kõri looked at the twins in turn.

They nodded in agreement.

"If you're going than so am I," Duo said to Kaze and she smiled at him.

"I'm in," Trowa said quietly and Quatre agreed as well.

"Then it's settled, lets go and get them," Kõri said.

They all got up and trooped downstairs to the hangar.

"Be careful with Wufei you guys. He pulled his katana on me last time they were here and I don't think he was acting," Quatre warned them as they all went to their individual gundams.

As Kaze's Hardsuit gundam was being paired she doubled up with Duo.

"Why what did you do Q-man?" Duo asked as they got into Deathscythe Hell.

"I was trying to calm him down and he pulled it out, but Hi stopped him from doing anything foolish."

"Do you think Wufei likes her?" Mizu inquired over the Vid-Link.

They pondered that question in silence as they travelled to the OZ base.

OZ Headquarters

They'd only just arrived at the base when a voice came over the COMs in the gundams. It was a very familiar voice too.

"Stop right there gundam pilots or we will be forced to destroy you," Hi cautioned them.

"Yo babe, are you serious?" Duo asked confused.

His reply was being sideswiped with Wufei's Dragon's Claw attack. Kaze squeaked as she almost fell out of her makeshift seat.

"Wufei what are you doing?!" Duo yelled and turned around to check on Kaze.

"I'm ok," she said and pulled herself upright.

"What does it look like I'm doing Maxwell?" Wufei answered.

"Wufei-kun, remember the plan," Hi said to Wufei.

"Whatever onna."

"Don't call me 'onna' you sexist pig!"

"Why not? Aren't you a woman then?" he smirked.

"Argh!" Hi yelled and snapped off the Vid-Link.

Meanwhile, the 'good' pilots were fighting a battalion of MDs outside the OZ headquarters.

"There's too many of them!" Kõri cried.

"We have to retreat," Heero sent through the order.

"Wufei, we have to help them," Hi called out as she destroyed five MDs.

"Fine."

"Hello? Mizu?" Hi questioned as she contacted the mansion.

"Coming!" Mizu yelled as she and Quatre ran into the computer room and switched on the Vid-Link. "Oh Hi, what do you want?"

"Don't start that now Mizu, you need to get the ready for causalities, Kaze and Duo went down and I don't think Trowa is far behind."

"Right," Quatre disappeared from the room.

At The Battle

"Get out of here you guys before Trieze comes!" Hi yelled over the Vid-Link to the others.

"You and Wufei are coming with us," Heero ordered.

"Alright, alright, we'll come. But please, we have to get out now."

"But Hi…" Kõri started.

"No buts Kõri!" Hi argued.

They all headed back the way they'd come.

Trieze's Office

"See Master Trieze? Those two gundam pilots have betrayed us," Lady Une said knowingly as she walked inside his office.

"Not entirely Une. You should know me better than that," Trieze replied, composed as usual. "I planted a tracking device on our dear friend Hi's Hardsuit gundam. This way we can track down not only the pilots, but the scientists as well."

"That was a brilliant idea Sir! I'm sorry I doubted you," Lady Une saluted and left.

"Oh Lady Une, you are not aware that you are just a pawn in my little game of chess," Trieze murmured as he watched her go.

The Mansion

"What the hell were you thinking doing this alone?" Heero glared at Hi and Wufei.

"Heero back off will you? We're not children anymore, so stay out of my life?!" Hi snapped and stomped out of the room.

"What happened at the base Wufei?" Kõri asked, trying to be heard.

"That's none of your business onna!" Wufei yelled and stormed out the same way Hi had.

Kõri glowered and walked after them, Kaze, Mizu and Trowa followed.

"Q-man I don't understand those people," Duo turned to the blonde pilot to find he was gone as well. "Why did everybody leave?!"

"Oh, but you're not alone…" a voice whispered in his ear.

Duo spun around and found Hi standing behind him, "What the…?" He started, but was cut off when Hi's lips covered his.

"WHAT THE HELL?!" Duo's mind screamed as he practically melted into the kiss. As they broke apart, Duo fainted.

"Well that should shut him up for a while," Hi said quietly and tied him up.

When Duo came to he was inside a very familiar gundam. He looked up at the sound of a click and found a gun pointed at his head, "Maxwell! What the hell are you doing in my gundam?!" Wufei yelled.

"Don't ask me! Ask your whore of a girlfriend Hi!" he tried to defend himself.

"What did you call her?!" Wufei grabbed Duo by the braid and heaved him up to face him.

"I called her a whore," Duo repeated and before Wufei could hit him he continued, "She kissed me and left me here."

"What???!!" Wufei let go and jumped down from the gundam. He turned and went.

"Hey don't leave me tied up in here!!!!"
