Just Around the Corner

Ok, maybe "death was kind intense but hey, wut else could I say?  "If Heero Kept this up, he could beat Mitch......to insanity"?? or crack his head open??? c'mon ppl, at least its not that stupid!!!

escawing: thanks for the advice. I'll change my summary and TRY to update faster. [with the testing going on, I don't hav as must time on the net as I used to  ;_;]

He struck swiftly again and again. Mitch made many attempts to attack but all failed. sure, he was strong, but he didn't have Heero's swiftness. The guy didn't have a chance. Then a thought struck Relena with a jolt. If Heero Kept this up, he could beat Mitch......to death.

The same thought seemed to have come to the others, too, because they started to yell at Heero to stop and that it was enough. They knew as well as she did that he wouldn't stop. She had to do something.

But what could stop the rage of Heero Yuy?

She walked up to him and said softly, "That's enough."

He turned to stare at her, bewilderment in his eyes. "You want me to stop?"

Mitch saw this as an opportunity. He lunged towards Heero's turned back.Relena saw and immediatly took action. She pushed in front of Heero and stuck out her foot. It made contact once again with Mitch's stomache. They both flew on opposite directions. Relena flew into Heero while Mitch landed with a loud thud on the asphalt. The Gundam Boys and the Gundam girls surrounded him. "Have you had enough yet?" Relena asked icily. Mitch nodded mutely. He looked close to tears. "Then stop bullying people around. Promise?" He nodded again. "Don't forget." She held out her hand to help him up. He took it and quickly fled. Then, as if on que, the bell rang and the students walked quickly to their classes.

*~*~At Lunch~*~*

"Hey Relena!"

Relena turned in the direction of Catherine's voice. She waved her over to their table. The Gundam guys were sitting at the table next to them.

"Hey guys!" Relena cheerfully greeted as she sat down. She got answers like "Hi Relena"(Quatre) "Uh huh"(Trowa) "Hiya" (Duo), and a nod from Wufei, whose attention was on his sloppy joe. Heero just stared.

She turned to Catherine. "Why does Heero stare so much?" she asked.

"Is he, now?" She looked around Relena at him. "Hey, you right! Hey girls! Don't look now, but Heero's staring at Relena!" she hissed.

They all whipped their heads around to see.

Catherine dropped her head into her hands and Relena blushed.

When they saw the proof, they turned to Relena, grinning.

They all started talking at once.

"Oooo, you go girl." "I think he likes you." "Do you like him?"

Relena's blush deepened.

"Hey, guys, let's ask her one question at a time." Catherine commanded.

"OK."

" OK, then, me first." She turned to Relena. "How did you meet Heero? It's obviously not the first time he's seen you,  judging by the way he jumped in to fight."

"Well, yesterday I was walking down the street...."

*~*~Gundam Guys~*~*

Duo was about to take a bite of his sandwich when an arm nudged him. He turned to Quatre, annoyed. He was grinning stupidly when he pointed at Heero. Dou looked at Heero. He was staring at something. Following his gaze, Duo was shock to find Heero, whom he thought would be a bachelor for life, was staring at a girl. And not just any girl. It was Relena Darlin!

The other guys found out when they were nudged and shown. Heero didn't even twitch when Wufei yelled "What!?!" and half the cafeteria turned to look. It took a while for Heero to see that all his friends were staring at him with silly grins.

"What?!?" he asked, blushing.

"Hey look," Trowa teased. "he's blushing."

"BLUSHING IS FOR THE WEAK!" declared Wufei. Half the cafeteria turned again. "and...uh.." he stammered as his friends all glared at him.

"And...?" Trowa asked.

"Uh...." he straighted up. "Confession is for the strong."

"So true," Duo gave him a thumbs up.

"So are you strong, Heero?" Quatra asked, his eys twinkling.

"Uh...I....er....well," he sputtered.

"Ooo, look! He's speechless."

"SPEE-" Wufei stopped when the guys glared at him. "Sorry. Uh...bad habit.

"Anyway...like Quatre said, are you strong?"

Heero was spared an answer when the bell rang. Saved by the bell. When it did, he acted very un-Heero like. He  jumped up and fled, his face flushed.

Wufei waited casually until everyone at the table was gone. As soon as they were, he snatched Heero's untouched sloppy joe and crammed it into his mouth.

The whole Gundam Gang walked out the cafe together, Relena in the lead, her face crimsom and head bowed. Because of that, she crashed right into someone.

"Are you alright?" asked a male voice.

"Yes, I'm fine. Sorry for crashing into you. I wasn't looking where I was going," she answered. She looked up to see the handsomest guy she'd ever seen.

Author's Note: Yay! I made a cliffhanger again ^_^  Go me! ^_^ I know. I'm crazy  -_-'  Anyway....

Relena sure has a strange way of meeting cute guys. Could luv be in the air? Will Heero ever admit it? Well, he'd better think about it. This handsome stranger could beat him to it. Please R+R
