Power of Corruption

Chapter Two
*It's hard to tell your mind to stop loving someone when your heart still does*
Two weeks had passed since Duo fell into a coma and Andrea still laid unconscience in what seemed like a deep sleep. Slowly her wounds were healing since Ami had attended to her every day before and after college. The bruises had disappeared almost completely while everything was scabbed up but it seemed like magic since one would be gone after Ami visited. There would be one less wound she needed to check every day.
Hiiro watched over her during the day while he typed on his laptop, trying to find out about a new mission. For some odd reason, she kept getting into his mind no matter how hard he was working. Each time he would look up at her peaceful sleeping figure. After the year before, he felt the hate drift away into something different, something deeper. Whenever he saw her with some other man, he would get jealous and want to kill them.
After that one night, he never wanted to see another man touching her, getting near her, or even raising a hand to her no matter what she did. No one deserved what she had been placed through by the evil bastard. His eyes moved back to his screen as he continued typing. He looked up suddenly when he heard her take in a deep breath and let it out slowly. His eyes watched her, seeing her fingers grip the blanket tightly while her eyes moved under the lids.
"Duo," she whispered. It was almost as if she was having a bad dream of what happened. She clutched the blanket tighter as a tear rolled down the sides of her face. Hiiro closed his laptop and moved over to sit next to her on the bed, gently touching her hand...

At a small cafe, two girls sat in the most darkest corner of the room drinking a chocolate milkshake along with eating a large platter of nachos. Mysterious blue eyes looked up at the girl sitting across from her, making sure to have eye contact with her cinnamon brown eyes. Once she had received that, she looked moved her shoulder length sandy blonde hair behind her ear and popped a cheese covered chip into her mouth, flavoring the spicy taste.
"There was an attack two weeks ago at the local college. I believe that Damion is going to try anything and try to find Angel before we get to her. I don't know how we could have lost her since I have been tracking her movements ever since she was adopted into the Kushranada family many years ago. It seemed as if she disappeared without a trace. I'll get more information on the girl that was attacked while you keep an eye on Damion. If he tries one more stunt like that, we'll get him," she said looking at the brunette eating.
"All right. Do you think he'll take his usual form or will it be different this time? You know how he changed his appearance to try and stay away from us after the last beating we gave him Akai," she smirked with a giggle to follow. Akai grinned and turned when she saw someone enter the small cafe.
"Well, well, well. I believe that we will have a little fun right now. There is Damion right now Raven. Lets welcome him to Tokyo the proper way." Akai lead the way with the tall brunette by two inches following behind her.
"Why hello Damion! It is so _wonderful_ to see you," said Raven wrapping an arm around his shoulders, feeling his nice silky black shirt. He smiled and straightened his dark grey tie.
"Girls, it is nice to see you again. I thought I left you back in Sacramento, California," he said with a hint of sarcasm. Akai rolled her eyes and folded her arms over her chest.
"We need to talk...business." Damion looked down at the 5'5 girl and motioned for her to lead the way. Raven firmly grabbed his arm and lead him into the corner of the room where she let him enter the booth first and then planted herself beside him, digging into the nachos.
"What do we need to discuss my little ray of hope?" he asked. She pulled out her small mini-black computer and set-up her notes.
"What was the girls name that you made her life a living hell?" asked Akai. Damion just smirked as he leaned back into his seat, stretching out his long legs covered in black slacks.
"You mean Andrea? Oh yes, that cute college girl. I remember her. I think she should be coming back to school any time soon since her wounds should be at least healed enough. You know she has been out for two weeks but I can't say the same for her twin brother. I believe that I might have thrown him a little over the, edge." He laughed at his own joke.
"You are an evil swine Damion! Give two good reasons why I shouldn't punch your lights out right now?" growled Raven. He looked at his platinum watch and smirked.
"I have a schedule to keep. Perhaps I might be teaching at the college and looking for your dear Miss Angel in the process. Tah tah girls," he said and then disappeared. Raven growled while Akai typed on her computer, pulling up all the information she could manage.
"Andrea Maxwell, twin sister to Duo Maxwell. So far her records show that she is in a fair condition while her brother is in medical condition staying at the Winner Mansion. Raven, I think it's time we paid them a little visit at school," smirked Akai. Raven nodded and then the two left...

Usagi held a basket in hers arms filled with chocolate chip cookies that Makoto had fleshing baked while Minako held a vase filled with red and white roses. Rei had decided on bringing a charm figurine of health and Ami stood with her medical bag. Quatre opened the door looking at the girls with a sad smile and let them in. He seemed to have a hint of sadness in his eyes while he lead them up the stairs in complete silence. Finally, he spoke.
"Duo is still in the same condition from last night while Andrea seems to be having nightmares. She keeps calling out for her brother but has not yet awaken." Ami touched his shoulder gently and looked at him with comforting eyes.
"I believe that Andrea has taken the first step to waking up. She is speaking but has she been reacting to touch by simple squeeze of the hand?" asked Ami. He shrugged and opened the door only for them to stop. The bed was empty and Hiiro was gone but his laptop was still in the chair. Quatre turned around to see Hiiro standing there confused by them just standing there.
"Where is Andrea?" asked Quatre. He peered over the girls and heard a faint soft female voice. He started walking toward Duo's room and opened to the door. She laid curled up next to him, her lips near his ear whispering soft things. Ami placed a hand on Usagi's shoulder and nodded in agreement. She looked at Quatre and Hiiro with a smile.
"Sailor Mercury gave us some medicine that will heal both of them completely. Do you think there is a way to get Duo to drink the medicine without us having to inject it?" asked Usagi. Quatre shook his head.
"Not unless he's awake. I will leave Ami to use her medicine and I believe that Hiiro should do the same since I know he must be tired after looking after Andrea last night." Both men left as the girls entered the room. Ami pulled out two bottles filled with a clear liquid. She filled a needle while Minako had Andrea take the medicine.
"Andrea, do you remember everything that happened?" asked Minako. The younger girl just looked at her brother while her hand held onto his. Duo took a deep breath and squeezed her hand. Ami held the empty needle and watched, hoping he would wake-up. His eyes started moving underneath his eye lids and then indigo eyes opened. They looked around while a grin moved over his face while he sat-up.
"Hey ladies, how are you? Long time no see!" The girls looked at each other and then back to Andrea whom was smiling with tears in her eyes. Duo pulled her into his arms and hugged her tightly along with kissed her forehead.
"I thought I lost you too,"she whispered. He smiled and rubbed her back gently trying to calm her down.
"Lose me? Ha! I would never leave you," he said. Minako picked up her ringing cell phone and smiled after hearing the voice.
"You will not believe it! Haruka has two really close friends for us to meet! Lets all get ready and go meet them! Oh yeah, he also said to bring the guys! Lets go!" She grabbed Andrea's hand and pulled her into her room to quickly get her ready.

Hiiro followed behind the other two cars with Andrea sitting in the passenger seat. Minako of course had got a hold of all of them, dressing the girl in light blue jeans and a soft pink tank top that moved over her curves. Her chestnut brown hair was pulled up into two neat buns. The whether outside seemed to change from a nice warm summer day to dark clouds as if it was going to rain. Her hand reached out to turn the radio on but his hand stopped her.
Instead of letting her hand go, he held onto it, rubbing her knuckles gently. She held on and gave his a soft squeeze.
"Thank-you for watching over me. I owe you more then you think," she said. He smiled gently at her kind words but was taken back when her hand pulled his up to her face. Andrea gently held it with both hands feeling his soft yet rough skin. Hiiro looked straight ahead at the road trying to refrain himself from telling her his feelings.
Why can't I tell her? I love her touch, the way she looks at me with those indigo eyes but even though it seems right, in a way it also seems wrong, he thought. Andrea took this chance to look over the man she use to hate. She still couldn't believe how much they have been through within the past years ever since she came to the Winner Mansion.
~*~Flash Back~*~
It had been six months since Andrea had been at the Winner Mansion being silent and cold just like the other household man, Hiiro Yui. Both of them from the first looks hated each other. Tonight was the night that everyone was leaving, except for those two. Which meant it would be a night filled with out doing each other while they were gone. Something just didn't feel right but the four men left. They would be gone for hours which left them much time to play.
Andrea and Hiiro glared at each other knowing this would be the night to prove who was the rightful person to stay and who would leave. She didn't know what Hiiro had in mind but knew it would going to be something deadly and that he had the best chance of surviving. The last two times the men left, each of them won. They were tied and now it would be the tie breaker. Hiiro was sporting his favorite gun along with Andrea as they met in the hall.
"Hide-n-seek, my way. You run I find. I'll be in the library for three minutes while you have free run of the house. Then the game begins," he growled. She nodded while his hand turned off the last light. His dark figure made its way to the library and then she started on her way. He had turned up the heater to make things hotter then usual most likely for more of a sport. With swift movements, she stripped down to her tanktop and underwear.
She had waited for something like this to happen and already had a trap set-up. Quickly she ran up the stairs but was silent. She made her way into her room and climbed through the ceiling knowing what was up there. Andrea closed the ceiling and walked on the beams like a cat. From here she could watch Hiiro where ever he would go. The chandler was also a best place to hide knowing that he would never find her. A grin spread over her face while she grabbed her belt.
Andrea looked at Hiiro was no where to be seen. Instead the library door was open while silence filled the entire mansion...It had been three hours and the heat was starting to get to her while her body was soaked in sweat. Her hair had been already pulled back into a bun even though it was also soaked. The very soft sound of a footstep made her quickly turn around with gun in hand. Instead, she was tackled only to fall through the ceiling.
The strong arms had grabbed around her waist tightly while the ceiling crumbled all over the bed belonging to Wufei. That was of course bad since his room was now destroyed because of their fighting. Instead of trying to clean it up, they continued fighting until they rolled off the bed with both guns pointed at each other. Andrea sat on his stomach, both weakened from the fall along with all the energy taken from the heat that they had been in for some odd hours.
Just before they could either speak, the light suddenly turned on for all three men to glare at both of them. Duo's eyes were widened at the state of both of them. He glared at Hiiro who was in his boxers.
"Andrea, get over here," growled Duo glaring at Hiiro. His mind was thinking too much for his own sake. Andrea still didn't move while they both had their guns pointed at each other. Hiiro leaned up on one elbow while his hand still held his gun in front of him. Andrea just grinned at her brother.
"I'll give you more than a mental image," she whispered while looking at Hiiro who seemed to catch on. He sat-up while she slid onto his lap, feeling his hand move to the back of her head and pull her into a deep kiss. Without thinking about it, he rolled them over looking down at her. His lips moved over her chin and slowly down her neck. Wufei walked in and growled.
"Oh no...No you don't! Not in my room!" Hiiro just looked up at him suddenly, the glare of death over his face making him shut-up. Andrea pushed Hiiro off her and moved to her feet with gun in hand. Quatre shook his head.
"This is the last time we leave these two together," said Quatre. That was the last time they had spent together alone. But it wouldn't be the last time they would ever torture or try to prove each other.
~*~End Flash Back~*~
Raven looked at Haruak with a large grin on her face. It had been who knows how long since she had seen the hot looking motocross rider. She had permentally clung herself to his muscular body, playing with his short sandy blonde hair, and looking into those deep blue eyes of his. Akai was talking with Michiru who seemed to be seething Raven. Her aqua-green hair was pulled back into a pony tail while her aqua blue eyes seemed a bit enraged. There was a knock on the door making her excuse herself.
"Michiru-chan!" Usagi hugged the older woman with a warm smile as she looked at each person coming into her house. She smiled at Rei, Ami, Minako, Quatre, Wufei, Trowa, Hiiro but hugged Duo and Andrea. Haruka pushed Raven off him and walked over to the door. He hugged all the girls who quickly ran to the couch only with the guys walking. Haruka grinned and gave Andrea a peck on the lips only to get a glare from Hiiro.
"Lets all have a pool party! Everyone outside," he grinned. All the girls and guys piled out of the house to the pool. Suddenly they stopped when they noticed they were without swim suits. Akai, and Raven seemed to be the only ones who didn't care while they stripped. Raven quickly jumped into the pool while Akai felt the water with her foot then jumped in. The rest of the girls and guys followed the examples and jumped in as well. The only two that didn't get in the pool was Hiiro and Andrea.
Just as Hiiro grinned and swept Andrea into his arms, a man suddenly appeared which made everyone go rigid. Raven growled.
"What do you want here Damion?" she screeched. He just grinned and looked at the two that were holding the same guns once more. He threw a blast only for Hiiro to grab Andrea making them both fall into the pool. An evil laugh escaped him while made one of his minions appear.
"Come on Hope and Crisis. Transform if you want to save all your friends, especially Sailor Angel," grinned Damion. He smiled at Raven and Akai who growled.
"All right Damion, if you want a fight then you're going to get one," spat Raven. Akai growled as she pulled out her transformation pen.
"As a member of the Elite, I demand my powers bestowed upon to arise...."
"Sailor Hope!"
"Sailor Crisis!" A silver and white light took over their bodies, making them transform into two different uniforms. Sailor Crisis was dressed in black leather pants and a black tankop. Sailor Hope was dressed in the same black leather pants but with a red tanktop. Sailor Crisis pulled out her long broad sword from her hips and held it in front of her.
"All right Damion, lets get this over with. Get rid of you minion. Just us against you." He grinned at Crisis and made his minion disappear. He floated to the ground to stand in front of the two woman.
"All right. Two against one sounds fair. Now lets get this fight going," he said. She smirked and quickly charged at him. Just as she was about to slice him, he moved from her view making her ground and swing back around. Sailor Hope took this chance to throw one of her daggers are Damion, hitting his arm. He blasted her back into the pool while Sailor Crisis charged. A sword appeared in his hand making it seem equal.
"Is that all you've got?" he questioned with a smirk. She growled and started thrusting the sword down harder and harder. He smirked and blasted her away. Sailor Hope threw three of her daggers, getting him in the arm, back, and leg. He let out an enraged pain at the sharp object poking out of his skin. The blood started to fill his shirt. Sailor Crisis put the sword up to his neck.
"Where is Sailor Angel?!" she questioned. He pointed to Usagi.
"There is your Sailor Angel," he smirked. She made her sword disappear and hit herself on the head.
"You idiot! That's not Sailor Angel! That's the Moon Princess. Are you stupid or something?" she asked. He just smirked and disappeared. Both of them de-transformed and turned to all the shocked people on the other side of the pool. Andrea was leaving with Hiiro leading her to his car. Duo just glared after the two and went inside to get dressed. Haruka folded his arms over his chest.
"What is it that you two want with Sailor Angel?" he asked. Raven just folded her arms over her chest and glared at him.
"I don't have to answer any questions. What do you want with Sailor Angel?" she asked. Akai just grabbed her arm and started dragging her to leave as well. Haruka stopped them.
"I'll be watching you." They just rolled their eyes and left.
