Chapter 2: Introductions and Incident

"I know this comes as a bit of a shock," said a blonde boy with deep blue eyes "but you're the only ones we could use"
"Oh really. Why is that?" asked Ebony
"Mad skills, baby!" a boy with auburn braid replied
"Okay, who are you guys?" asked Scarlet, who hadn't blinked for a whole minute.
"Oh, yeah forgot that part," said the braided boy
"Yeah yeah braid boy, get on with it" said Ivory who was confused to the point of no return.
"Trowa Barton" said a boy with long hair over his face as he shook the girls hand.
"Heero Yuy" said a boy who didn't look like he trusted the girls.
"Hi, I'm Duo Maxwell and I like being loud, very loud" The braided boy said with a look that made the other girl laugh
"Wufei Chang, and I just want all of you to know that you are a bunch of weak onna's..." he didn't get to finish his sentence because Ivory had managed to kick him in the shin with her powerful legs.
"I'm Quatre Reberba Winner," said the blonde boy, very formally.
"I'm Jade Green and I like shoes." Said a very happy girl.
"You guys like color names!" said Ebony who always liked to state the obvious.
"You all will need to come over and sty the night because you have a training session tomorrow." Said Trowa
"Okay, I can deal," said Ivory

They arrived at an apartment and were shown where they were staying.
"Wow, this is one of those days that starts out normally and BAM it's not," said Scarlet as she flopped on her bed "I mean this morning I was psyched about the institute and now I'm going to be fighting a war.
"Yeah you're right," agreed Ebony "What do you think Ivory...Ivory...Yo Ivory wake up!" Ebony was yelling at the top of her lungs and Ivory had just heard her.
"Huh? Who?" Ivory was thinking how long she would have to be gone if she did fight in a war. "Sorry I just had one of my 'I can't hear anything' moments"
"I am so hungry it's not even funny," said Ivory after a long silence
"That's not a surprise," said Scarlet "In middle school you could eat a whole meal and then go back for more!"
Ivory stood and bowed to show her appreciation to the comment. Ever since she could remember she was a walking garbage disposal.
"I vote we go out, I don't feel like cooking or having those dudes cook for us." Said Ebony.
"Okay" agreed the other two.

At the restaurant they had a great time. Jade Green had gone with them along with the five boys. Duo was trying to make everyone laugh by using spoons as nose guards and pretended to be deathly afraid of chicken wings.
"Oh my God, Duo, how stupid can you get?" asked Ivory between giggles, "The chicken won't come back to life and attack you for almost eating them."
"Well, look at this," said a voice that Ivory knew all to well "Tut tut Ivory, five boys at once, my God aren't you slutty today?"
"Lay off Zack, you're not allowed to come anywhere near me so get the hell away before I call the police" said Ivory
Zack placed a hand on her shoulder.
"What are you going to do about it," asked Zack "It will take a pretty long time for the police to get here you know"
With that, Zack yanked Ivory out of her chair and tried to pull her away. As if by instinct Scarlet and Ebony immediately stood. Ivory knew she would have to work pretty hard to get away. She kicked him in the shin and he punched her in the face.
"Just like old times, huh?" asked Zack
"Yeah like old times, only one things different, this time have strength and friends and I'm no longer desperate." Replied Ivory
Zack drew back to hit her again, but before he could, she kicked his stomach, punched his face and threw him off of her.
"If you ever come near me again, you'll be a lot worse off." She kicked him in the face and left the restaurant.
When she got back to the apartment she burst into tears. She had loved Zack; she loved with all of her being. He took advantage of that and hurt her because he knew that she would never leave him.
Ivory heard a knock at the door.
"Come in" she said as she dried her eyes.
The door opened and in walked Heero.
"Okay, who was that guy and why did he treat you like that?" demanded Heero
"Why must you know?" asked Ivory, who didn't trust Heero or any of those other guys because of Zack.
"I like to know these things because I have trust issues."
"Well, so do I and I don't want to answer you because I don't trust you or any of those other Guys so just lay off." Said Ivory
"Well, I'm sure I can weasel it out of one of your friends," said Heero
"Good luck," said Ivory who knew that her friends wouldn't tell anyone about that without asking her first.
