Rei and Lita stared at each other in shock for a few seconds before Rei smiled, stepped forward and extended her arm.
"Jupiter."
Lita smiled back, and mimicked the action, grasping Rei's wrist with her hand. "Mars." She replied in the same tone. "It's been awhile."
"you two know each other?" the C.O asked
"we went to school together. We were really close."
"good. Hopefully, you two will be able to work better then you did with your last partner, Hino."
"Sir, what's the assignment?" Rei asked.
The C.O handed each girl a cream coloured menila folder, which the girls opened.
Inside were 4 photos, 2 of stuffy looking, middle aged men in suits and two very good looking young men around their age, maybe a little older.
~~ Oh, Cuties! ~~ Lita said telepathically to Rei.
Rei glared at Lita and the brunette shrugged.
~~ They are!" ~~ she said defensively.
~~ Now is _not_ the time, Lita! ~~ Rei shot back. ~~ We're supposed to be listening. ~~
"when we ransacked the home of one of the Gold Dragon leaders, we found a list with some names on it, names of important, world political figures. Every person on this list, except for these two, " the C.O pointed at the two middle aged men, "are dead." The C.O sighed and leant back in his black leather chair. "your assignment is to protect these two men."
Lita and Rei nodded, and Lita pointed to the other two photos. "who're they?"
The C.O's face hardened. "they're the assassins. Best in the world. They are so good because they are some of the ex Gundam pilots."
Both Rei and Lita inhaled sharply. Gundam pilots?
Finally, Rei spoke. "which ones?"
"03 and 01." Surprisingly, it was Lita who had answered. Rei and Inspector Aino looked at her curiously.
"My roommate's sister was in Oz during the war." Lita said as an explanation. "I sorta overheard." She grinned sheepishly.
~~ Old habits die hard. ~~ Rei said. Then out loud she added, "where are the targets?"
"Juuban, Tokyo."
Mina Suki stared down in disgust at the unconscious boy at her feet. Blood caked parts of his body, changing the colour of some of his features. You could almost not tell that the colour of his hair was blonde, the same as hers. Her adopted father would be proud of her, she thought wirily, glancing down again at the prone form of Quatre Raberba Winner. His viciousness had rubbed off on her, in the two years since she had been found by him, unconscious and with no memory of her past, only the knowledge of her first name. He had taken her in, and taught her his ways. She hadnt wanted to learn at the start, but it was one of the only ways she could earn her keep, and the other way she had immediately said no to. After two years, thinking up new ways to torture people had actually become a hobby. It was interesting.
A groan let her know that her charge was awake, and she kicked him, earning a whimper.
"Mr Winner. Are you going to tell me where your friends are?"
the boy, Quatre, looked up at her, tears of pain in his eyes, but a stubborn look on his face. His blue green eyes were glazed over with the drugs she had given him earlier.
"I've told you. I have no idea. We haven't spoken since the war ended."
"you're lying." She said, twisting an arm back to barely bearable level.
"I'm not." He told her through teeth gritted with pain.
"we'll see." Mina smirked. She leant down, grasping his face in both of her hands, in a mock lovers gesture. "oh, I'm sorry, a black eye!" she placed a feather light kiss on the bruised eye, then sat back. "I'll have to do something about it." Quickly, she punched his other eye, then hit a sensitive pressure point on his neck, knocking him unconscious again.
"We'll see." She murmured again, leaving the room.
Ami Mizuno sat in the hard, uncomfortable airport chairs, waiting for her flight to be announced. She was going to Arabia, to meet with Mr Winner, the father of Quatre Winner, whom she had been assigned to rescue. She sat looking at a photo of Quatre, and even she had to admit that he was cute, in a boyish kind of way.
She was so absorbed in her thoughts that she didn't notice the two people behind her until one of them put their hand on her shoulder.
Ami jumped, startled, and turned to see two girls, one with long black hair, and the other with mid length brown. A slow smile spread across her face.
"Rei, Lita, it's so good to see you again."
"You too, Merc." Lita said, hugging the smaller blue haired girl.
"Ami, where are you going?" Rei asked, looking at Ami's bag.
"Arabia." Ami said. "I've been assigned to find Quatre Winner."
"we've been assigned to protect these two important political figures from these two gorgeous assassins." Lita told her.
"oh, come on. They're not that good looking." Said a new voice. All three turned to see three very cute guys. Lita and Rei recognised two of them immediately.
"Heero Yuy."
"And Trowa Barton." Lita continued. "well, I guess the boss was right when he said you'd be coming here."
"stuff it, detective. We want to know something." Heero said.
"and we'll kill everyone in this place until you tell us." said the third guy. He was the one who had spoken first.
Ami was staring at him, before recognition passed over her face. Serena had told her about chasing a boy with a long brown braid, and cobalt blue eyes. And he had kissed her.
"Duo Maxwell." She hissed. Everyone turned to look at her. "how dare you…" Ami said harshly. It was unusual for her, but Rei and Lita knew she only got this way when protecting their Princess. "how could you kiss Serena?"
instently, all eyes were on Duo.
"Jupiter."
Lita smiled back, and mimicked the action, grasping Rei's wrist with her hand. "Mars." She replied in the same tone. "It's been awhile."
