Chapter Three
*You will never know how much something means to you until it's no longer there*
It had been a week since Damion attacked. He stayed silent but something strangely had happened. Raven and Akai went to their school. The group stuck together but didn't even dare talk to them. The girls had stopped Andrea from going over to the two who were sitting under the tree at the far edge of the campus eating lunch. While the girls weren't looking, she walked over to them, feeling some sort of connection link.
Raven looked up at her with a grim expression only to be hit by Akai to make her nod to the new comer who dared to talk to them.
"I don't believe that we were introduced at Haruka's party. I'm Andrea Maxwell." She extended her hand for Akai to take it with a large smile.
"Akai Tsumi, nice to meet you. The grump over there is Raven Angelheart." She nodded and was about to take a seat with them only for a hand to be placed on her shoulder. Andrea turned to look at Rei who seemed to be glaring at her. She just pushed her hand off her shoulder.
"Come on Andrea, lets head over to the mall and maybe we could go shopping." Andrea just used her hand in a strange movement as if to say to go away.
"Not today Rei. I'm bored of shopping. I would rather spend time with Akai and Raven." Rei's eyes widened and glared.
"Alright. We will see you some other time." She stormed off with the rest of the group in tow. An arm wrapped around her shoulder making her look at Duo.
"So, who are these lovely ladies?" asked Duo. Raven smiled and suddenly clung onto his arm.
"What's your name, are you her boyfriend, do you want to go out sometime?" she asked all of a sudden. He grinned and wrapped his other arm around her.
"Hey. I'm Duo Maxwell. This is my sister Andrea. So, when would you like to go out? I'm free all day long," he said with a smile. She grinned even larger.
"Do you mind if I go out with your brother Andrea?" she asked with puppy eyes. Andrea just smiled and winked.
"Have fun." This just left her with Akai who smiled. Akai decided to take Andrea over to the small cafe where her and Raven usually sat. They order two cappuccinos along with a big bowl of fries. Akai smiled while they both dug in only for Andrea to suddenly go rigid when she looked up. Akai looked over to see Damion making his to their table. He grinned.
"Hey Akai, long time no see. Well, well, well, if it isn't miss trigger happy. Where is your little boy friend? Isn't he suppose to be protecting you?" asked Damion. She looked over to Akai confused who was glaring at him. Her foot came out from under the table and kicked him in the shin.
"Leave Damion. You're not wanted here. Go back to hell where you belong," growled Akai. He just ignored her and grabbed Andrea's arm.
"Omake o kushra!" Damion felt a gun at the back of his head along with one in his face from Andrea. She jerked her arm away fiercely. Damion held up his hands in defense and just backed away.
"What the hell Damion, won't you ever give you little pussy?" asked Raven. Duo growled at Damion along with pulled out his gun. Damion was surrounded which wasn't a good idea. He just punched Hiiro all of a sudden, elbowed Duo, tripped Raven, threw Andrea over the next table, and punched Akai in the stomach. Hiiro, Duo, and Andrea let bullets fly while Akai and Raven ducked under a nearby table.
"I'm going to kill that bastard," growled Andrea after seeing the blood on her hand. The bullets stopped while the smoke cleared. They looked to see Damion standing weakly with blood coming from his arm, legs, chest, and stomach. Andrea pulled herself up to her feet while Raven ran at him, punching him in the stomach feeling his warm blood squirt on her. He fell to the floor breathing hard. Akai took Andrea's gun and shot him in the head, taking away his misery.
"I'm not going to be like him. I won't let him suffer." Raven turned to the rest of the group looking at Hiiro take some bandages out of his leather jacket along with clean off Andrea's hand. He wrapped it ever so gently making Raven want to push them together to make them hurry-up and kiss. There was a sudden sound of laughter that made them all turn around, Hiiro standing protectively in front of Andrea not letting her move.
"That was a wonderful show you put on. I appalled you all," grinned Damion suddenly appearing in front of them. Raven growled and clutched her fist.
"You bastard! Why won't you fight us like a man instead of a mouse? I had enough playing this catch-me-if-you-can game!" He looked at Hiiro and Andrea.
"Hey Andrea, why don't you leave that fake guy and come with me. You could become my partner in crime along with help me friend Sailor Angel. So much power will come to you," he grinned. She just ignored him while Raven growled.
"Come on Damion, don't be such a pussy! Lets fight right here, right now!" He just shook his head and looked at his watch.
"I have an appointment to make since I'll be your new teacher at college. See you girls tomorrow," he smiled and then disappeared. Raven growled and then looked at Akai who nodded. She placed an arm around Andrea's shoulder.
"Andrea, I think that it would be best if you stayed with us for a while. It's not safe for you to be out without the proper protection. I think Damion will try anything to take you back to the Dark Lord and I'm not going to let that happen any time soon," said Raven. Duo just looked up at his sister with a fake smile.
"Go ahead Andrea. You're a big girl now, just go with them." She nodded and turned to see Hiiro was gone. Her heart sank...

Wufei sat with Trowa in the living room. Quatre was playing the piano softly. The other three hadn't came home since lunch and it was going on midnight. Something was wrong and they all sensed foul play. Wufei drank from green tea with Trowa while they played some chess. The door suddenly opened making all three of them look to see who it was. Hiiro was going up stairs without staying a word while Duo slowly walked up the stairs. A grim look was over his face.
"Duo?" asked Quatre. He didn't look at him but continued going up the stairs. Trowa and Wufei started up after him along with Quatre.
"Duo, what's wrong?" asked Trowa placing a hand on his shoulder. He just shrugged his hand off and continued into his room. Wufei pushed Duo around and glared.
"What's going on Duo? What's with Hiiro being a stuck-up ass again along with Andrea being gone? We all want answer and we know you have them." He just growled and pushed him away.
"Andrea is gone! She's not coming back! She moved in with Akai and Raven for protection that I can't give her. Now why don't you all just leave. I don't want to talk." They nodded and then left. Wufei looked at Hiiro as he left. He was back to just typing on his laptop while his gun was right next to him just in case.

"She did what?!?!" screeched Rei while looking at the group. Minako, Usagi, Ami, Makoto Haruka, and Michiru nodded. Rei pounded her fist on the table making it sound as if it broke.
"It is utterly wrong and to think that Duo let her! I say we have a little talk with them. First they steal our friend Andrea and then they have her move in with them? We're never going to see that girl again!" said Minako. Usagi nodded.
"I think we should confront them about it. We shouldn't let them get away." Ami sighed and closed her book for once.
"Right now we need to do something without violence if possible. Haruka, you know Raven best. I think you should be the one to confront her," said Ami. He just looked at all the girls that were glaring at him but in way pleading for him to do it.
"Alright. I'll take you all to college tomorrow," he said.

Andrea laid in the bed listening to the rain pouring against the roof. It was a beautiful place and she loved it but there was also something wrong. She was scared of the thunder that streaked through the sky all of a sudden. Usually during these nights she would go to her brothers room and cuddle with him. If he was gone on one of his missions, she would go to Hiiro. He would hold her in his arms warmly as if she meant something to him no matter how much they hated each other.
During those nights, it would turn her mind around by thinking about them. What it would be like if they ever got together but she knew that wasn't going to happen then. But now she was thinking differently, The way they were in the car, him saving her, and trying to protect. It seemed as if she was falling in love him but her mind tried telling her different.
I can't fall in love him but I love him so much...alright, I don't give a damn about my mission anymore. While I'm here I might as well enjoy myself, she thought. With a long sigh she tried to close her eyes and sleep.

Raven paced in front of the school waiting for Duo and Hiiro. They were suppose to be here five minutes ago but something was wrong. She felt it in the air but suddenly glared when she saw the group approaching her. Akai had taken Andrea to breakfast this morning while Raven was going to surprise her and practically force Andrea and Hiiro to kiss. She glared all of a sudden and started walking away onto campus when she saw the group of girls coming.
Instead of leaving her alone, they followed her until she stopped and turned around. Haruka looked at Raven who clutched her fist.
"What do you want?" she asked. He just folded his arms over his chest while the girls glared at her.
"You know what we want, wench!" said Rei. Raven shot daggers at Rei who quickly shut-up and hid behind Usagi. Raven just put her hands on her hips.
"Do what you want to do and leave me alone. I don't want to talk to you."
"We've got a warning for you Raven. You better watch out before something happens to you. You're messing with the wrong people along with their friends. Make Andrea move back in with her brother and everything will be fine," said Haruka.
"You know what, it was Andrea who made the choice herself. If she didn't want to move in with us, she didn't have to. I don't care if you talk to her all you want just don't come around me or Akai. You won't be welcome." When she started walking away Haruka grabbed her arm.
"We don't want you near her Raven. Just pack-up and get out of town. We will face Damion ourselves along with get Sailor Angel---" Raven suddenly decked him.
"You're not getting Sailor Angel! She's part of my group and a member of the elite three. She is not part of the Sailor Senshi. You will never get her." Haruka suddenly punched her in the stomach as it started rain which pissed Raven off. She didn't want to fight today but now she knew she had to. She thrust a punch at him only for him to block it and punch her again. With a groan, she thrown to the ground.
"You no-balled cross dresser!" Haruka growled but slipped in the mud when he went for her. Raven took this chance to tackle him and started punching him. Before she could get her second punch in, he grabbed her and punched her in the stomach. She didn't notice that Akai and Andrea run up. Rei pushed Andrea away from interfering only to get pushed away. Rei grabbed her again and got punched in the face.
"Raven! Haruka! Stop this nonsense!" said Andrea. They both continued fighting making Andrea jump in the fight pushing Raven to the ground. Haruka punched Andrea in the stomach for her to kick too high and pants him. Hiiro growled when he saw Andrea holding her stomach and jumped in the fight decking Haruka in the face and kneeing him in the stomach. Haruka growled and punched Hiiro but Raven got back up and kicked him in the balls.
"Alright! That's it!" Akai joined the fight along with Rei, Michiru, and Makoto. Makoto tackled Akai from behind which made her mad. She whipped around and started punching her. Makoto got in a few punched but Akai was controlling the fight. Michiru looked at Raven with a glare and started toward her. Raven tripped her and waited for her to get back-up. When she did, she started punching the crap out of Michiru. Andrea looked at Rei trying to get in on the action between Michiru and Raven.
"Oh no you don't!" She grabbed her by her hair and tackled her to the ground punching her. Rei suddenly punched her making her eyes glare at Rei touching her. Usagi, Minako, and Ami looked from the side lines and sighed. They turned to see the sirens and looking back at them. Hiiro was having fun shoot bullets at Haruka with a glare on his face. Makoto, Rei, Michiru, and Haruka were tackled to the ground by the cops while the other four where grabbed.
Instead, Raven decked the police and suddenly stopped while Andrea kneed one, Hiiro shot the other one, and Akai kneed him in the face. Those four suddenly stopped looking at the police officers that didn't look too happy. Instead, they just froze and didn't move. The principal placed a hand on Raven's shoulder only to be elbowed in the face. Andrea was over looking at Hiiro who kissed her forehead giving her approval about how well she fought.
Duo looked at the group and sighed while Michiru and Haruka were taken to the police cars. He heard something from someone and quickly charged at Haruka, tackling him from behind, punching him, and hitting his head on the ground.
"You hit my sister and my girlfriend! That's not going to fly buddy!" He was quickly pulled off by two more police officers and lead into the office of the school to joining Andrea, Hiiro, Akai, and Raven. Makoto and Rei were in the office while he called their parents. Duo kissed Raven's forehead while Hiiro made sure that Andrea was fine. He had to look at her stomach and growled at the bruise appearing over her abdomen. She wiped the blood off his lip with a smile.
"You did great out there. I hope you know we're going to be gone from school for a while with that large fight out there. Michiru and Haruka are going to locked up for a long time as well," said Andrea.
"How did the fight even start?" asked Hiiro. She thought for a moment and looked over and Raven confused. She just blinked her eyes as if saying "what?".
"How did the fight start Raven?" She just growled and clutched her fist hard thinking back at her encounter with the girls.
"The girls wanted Akai and I to leave you alone, get out of town, and to let them take our group member Sailor Angel. That's not going to happen anytime soon," said Raven looking in the mirror at her black eye, bloody lip, and bloody nose. They watched as Makoto and Rei were taken out by angry parents yelling at them. They were next to go in the office while Quatre, Wufei, and Trowa walked into look at the muddy people mixed with blood.
"Are you alright girls?" asked Quatre looking at the three with concern. They nodded while Wufei smirked but at the same time growled.
"I wish I could have seen it." Trowa was silent while the principal started talking.
"All five of these juveniles are suspended for two weeks without being able to make-up any of their work. I want them to be kept under control and for you to have a talk with them to make sure that nothing like this ever happens again." Hiiro and Andrea suddenly pull out their guns.
"We can't make-up any of our work?" asked Andrea. He just smiled and changed his mind quickly.
"Did I say that? I meant that you didn't have to make-up the work. It's like taking a vacation. You'll automatically have all your work turned in and graded as if you were here along with perfect attendance," he smiled. They nodded and placed their weapons away. Quatre lead them out of the school and sighed.
"I am very disappointed in all of you. I counted on you all to stop the fight instead of joining in and getting into so much trouble. You will be taken back to mansion where I want you to stay until I get home. Get cleaned up and try not to ruin it. I still remember what Hiiro and Andrea did to Wufei's room," said Quatre. They all nodded and started on their way.
