Minako took a seat in the Dinner Room with Trowa, Wufei, Duo, Quatre, and Heero. Ten minutes ago she had been standing in the Meeting Room, eavesdropping on her five protector's conference. It was Quatre who had decided it was time to eat.
"Wow!" the blonde princess exclaimed as she looked at the food before her.
A servant had just placed her plates down. It contained a T-bone steak, mashed potatoes with melted butter on top, and carrots. A roll with butter and a salad dish was at the side.
"Hope you enjoy it," Quatre smiled warmly towards his guest from across the table.
He sweat dropped when the blonde grabbing her knife and fork and licked her lips. She did a silent prayer before she devoured her meal.
Duo was speechless, dropping his fork. Damn, she sure can eat! he thought to himself as he watched Minako, to his right, attacking her salad first. He turned to the other pilots when hearing Wufei speak.
"As much as we enjoy watching an onna eat like a pig, can we get to the main reason here?" the jet-black haired pilot asked with aggravation.
"Of course. We'll start off with the lessons," Quatre suggested as he took out a piece of paper and pen from his vest pocket. He placed it on the table and looked up at the other four. "I'll write down what each of us will do."
"I have just the thing for Minako! I can be her first class, getting her into shape!" Duo said amused when Minako yelled "Hey!"
"Ok, Duo will start with the exercises in the morning…," Quatre informed as he wrote it down.
Trowa was silently eating his food before he thought of a good tutorial. "Acrobat is fine with me," He told the others.
Wufei leaned back from his chair and let out a low grunt. "Fine, I'll do martial arts then," he muttered.
Quatre wrote down the other two and looked up at Heero. "What are you going to do Heero?" he asked.
The perfect soldier sat quietly. He did hadn't touched his meal yet. He looked up at the blonde with a slight frown on his face. Without saying a word he got up from the table and walked out.
"That's not fair! He has to do something! This was his bloody idea in the first place!" Wufei protested.
Minako watched as Heero walked away; her steak hanging from her mouth. What's eating him? she thought.
"Calm down Wu-man. You know Heero, he'll think of something at the last minute," Duo reassured before taking a sip from his water glass.
A concerned look was held on Quatre's face when Heero was out of sight. He shook it away though, continuing to write down what he was going to do for Minako. "I'll teach Minako the arts of sword fencing," he clued in.
"Kay Minako, tomorrow you start early in the morning with me. So I suggest you sleep well tonight," Duo advised the blonde beside him. She had finished her meal and was now eating the bread. "Which reminds me… someone needs to watch her sleep tonight."
"Right, who wants to go first?" Quatre asked.
"I say we have Heero do it. That'll teach him for ditching us with this mess," Wufei suggested with a hint of frustration in his tone.
"No!" Minako shouted abruptly, making Duo spill his water.
"Aw man," Duo whined, looking at his wet pants. He was just at the moment of drinking when Minako scared him half to death with her cry of opposition.
"Sorry," Minako quickly apologized as she took her napkin and began to dry the dampness. This obviously made Duo blush, even if Minako was only drying his knee part.
"What do you mean by no? He deserves it!" Wufei retorted.
Quatre could plainly see why Minako did not want Heero near her when she slept. Who would when the perfect soldier was a number one assassin? But he knew Minako would have to feel comfortable around Heero soon.
"I'll do it," Trowa broke in softly.
Everyone stopped to look at the tallest pilot. Minako had stopped with the drying, Duo had stopped blushing, only for a moment though, and Wufei's angry expression somewhat vanished.
Quatre smiled. "Okay, Trowa has guard duty tonight. Tomorrow we shall talk about the rest of the nights."
After a few minutes later, everything was back to normal. Apart from for Minako, who was still frozen from her spot. She still had her hand in mid-air above Duo's knees, her cerulean blue eyes staring at Trowa.
Interesting… Minako thought to herself. Heero sat in his room with the laptop on. He was writing a letter to Dr. J to inform him on the attack in Minako's apartment and what the his teammates were planning on doing.
Right at the moment of sending the letter, a knock was heard at the door. Heero turned to it and said a rough, "Come in."
Quatre poked his head through the slightly open door. "Hey Heero," He said politely when he went fully inside. "I saw you didn't touch your food. I was thinking maybe you'd want to eat it later."
Heero looked back at Quatre to see that he had a tray in his hands with his plate that he hadn't touched earlier. "Just put it down," Heero ordered in a now slightly calmer voice.
Right before Quatre was about to leave he turned back to the Japanese pilot. "Trowa's having guard duty tonight. And we have already planned Minako's training. Are you thinking of doing anything?"
"When I think of something that will actually help, I'll mention it," Heero explained keeping his eyes on his laptop screen.
Quatre nodded once and left the room. Once again Minako found herself in her bed, staring at the ceiling. Right after dessert Duo told her to head straight up to her room and get ready for bed. Unknown to the blonde, Trowa had followed her up the stairs as well. She had forgotten he was supposed to stay in the room at all cause and began to get dress. When she found out the silent pilot was behind her, it was too late. Fortunately he immediately had his back turned on her. She did not notice the blush on his face, indicating that he hadn't turned away faster.
I can't sleep. I'm so board, Minako groaned to herself, letting out a loud sigh. She had been staring at the ceiling for what seemed like hours.
Minako turned her head to her left to see Trowa leaning on a wall, watching her with his emerald eyes. Doesn't he ever get sleepy?
The blonde slowly pulled the covers off her and sat up facing her protector. She pressed her legs near her chest, laying her chin on top of her knees.
"Are you going to stay up like that the whole night?" Minako asked, knowing it was not the best way to start a conversation.
Trowa stared at her. He could see that the moonlight was making Minako look even more like a goddess. Her hair still looked like gold in the dark as her eyes twinkled like a star in the night sky.
Not getting a reaction from the green-eyed boy, Minako smiled warmly. "Are you always this shy?"
Trowa closed his eyes trying hard not to flush. "I wouldn't exactly say shy," He answered, making Minako grin.
"Now that wasn't too hard to talk was it?" Minako asked teasingly.
Trowa looked at her again. He then got off the wall and walked towards her. "I had orders to make sure you get a good night sleep. And I intend to do just that."
Minako blinked at his words but was taken aback when he suddenly lifted her up and made her lie correctly on the bed. He got the covers and tucked it just below her chin. "Sleep," he ordered as he gazed in her blue orbs.
Minako blushed at how near his face was from hers. He was so close that she could almost feel his warm breath on her cheeks. The blonde could only nod as she looked down with embarrassment.
Seeing everything was alright, Trowa parted from the bed and went back to his spot against the wall.
Dang, he was so close! And he smelled good too! Minako thought before turning to her side, her back facing Trowa. She closed her eyes trying to fall asleep and to get Trowa's face out of her head. "Hey sleeping beauty, rise and shine!"
Minako groaned slightly as she began to shift in her warm comfortable bed. She felt the sun's ray beaming on her eyes and quickly covered herself, from head to toe.
"Oh come on, we have a long day ahead of us," She heard Duo say. "Do I have to kiss you to wake you up?"
With that, Minako sprang to a sitting position, only to knock her forehead on Duo's nose. He had been sitting on her bed trying to wake her up for about five minutes.
"Ah!" Duo grimaced as he held his nose with both hands.
"Ouch," Minako winced, holding her forehead. The blush that was first on her cheeks disappeared when seeing what she had done to the poor teen unintentionally. "Oh god sorry! I didn't mean to!"
Minako quickly grabbed the box of tissues on her nightstand and gave them to him.
"Urg…It's alright, I had worst than this," Duo eased, taking her offer of tissues. His nose had begun to bleed.
Minako looked away and glanced around her room. Trowa was nowhere in sight. Only her bathroom door was open with steam coming out.
"I already checked and made sure no bad guy was in there. I know girls like to take baths before they begin their day," Duo explained as he was cleaning his mess.
The blonde looked back and smiled at the braided pilot. "Thanks."
"Gee! I think you broke my nose!" Duo complained, getting off the bed. He walked to Minako's dresser were a mirror was placed.
Minako couldn't help but giggly. She didn't know why though. It wasn't fun to have a broken nose or be responsible to give the persona a broken nose. But she had to laugh at how weird Duo's voice sounded with the tissues clogging his nostrils. And he had such an adorable face as he looked at himself in the mirror.
"Sorry again Duo," Minako apologized, joining him at the mirror. "Holy cow!" She screamed when she saw her bad hair look.
Duo chucked. "Serves you right!" He turned away and headed out the door. "I'll get someone else to wait here; I need to get a Band-Aid for my nose!"
Minako watched him walk away before taking out her brush and taking the knots out of her gold locks. Soon after, she had finished taking her shower and was now taking her morning bath. When she was fully inside, with the warm water touching her chin, she heard her bedroom door open and close.
A knock was heard at the door with Quatre's voice, "Are you okay Miss Aino?" passing through the barrier and into her ears.
"Just fine Quatre," Minako answered. She heard him walk away from the door and take a seat on one of her chairs.
Duo was right; I do have a long day ahead of me. I have classes the whole day!
Wishing she could relax just a tad bit longer, Minako got out of her bath and placed her light-yellow bathrobe on. She had matching slippers to go along with it. Minako was about to open the bathroom door when she remembered something.
Darn it! Quatre's there! I keep forgetting I'm going to be watched like a hawk, Minako thought when her hands snapped back away from the knob. And I don't have my clothes in here with me!
Deciding it over, the future queen cleared her throat and called out to the other blonde on the other side of the door. "Quatre, I… uh…need to change… do you mind…"
She did not have to finish her sentience. Quatre quickly understood. "Oh yes, of course!" the pilot responded, turning around towards the wall while keeping his eyes shut.
Trusting the polite boy entirely, Minako walked out of the bathroom and went to her luggage to get her clothes.
"Duo's your first class. And then I'll be teaching you how to at least handle a sword," Quatre conversed with his back still facing her.
Minako was already slipping on a yellow short sleeve shirt. She already had on her navy-blue shorts she was planning to run with. "Who's next after that?" Minako asked.
"We'll see how it goes first and how you feel. Maybe tomorrow we'll have Trowa and Wufei teach you their classes."
Putting on her final touch, the famous red ribbon, Minako held her hair up in a bun with the ribbon's end dangling. "Okay. You can turn now."
Quatre did as he was told and held in a small gasp when he saw her. Even when Minako was wearing work out clothes she till looked attractive. Her slender legs could be seen now that she was wearing shorts. And with her hair out of the way it showed more of her beautiful face.
"How do I look?" Minako asked.
The soldier in front of her could only gawk and stutter out some words she could not quite get. This caused her to smile knowing what he thought.
"I take it I look fine," Minako finished for Quatre as he nodded hastily. She walked towards him and took his arm. "Come on, I'm starving. I wonder what we have for breakfast." She led him out of her room and down the hall towards the stairs.
Just as the two blondes went by Duo's room, the braided pilot came out still covering his nose when seeing how Minako was dressed.
"Duo, hey! How's your nose?" Minako asked.
Duo took his hand off his nose to show Minako how it looked. A second later, Minako was laughing hard at the sight. "Duo- you look so-," She stopped at almost every word to let out a giggle.
Quatre was even grinning, trying hard not to laugh. It was impossible to not at least grin at what Duo had done. The god of death placed dozens of band-aid all over his nose.
Pouting, Duo crossed his arms. "I look what?" he asked Minako.
Seeing the glower on the usually happy-go-lucky teen, Minako's laugh minimized down. "Sorry, it's just that, you did it all wrong," She answered as she whipped the tears of laughter away.
"I'll fix it then!" Duo replayed as he took hold of all the bandaged on his nose.
"I wouldn't do that Duo," Quatre warned.
But he was too late because right at that moment, Duo yanked all band-aids off. "AAH!" he yelped as a sting hit his nose.
"I tried to warn you," Quatre sighed.
"Damn it these things! You two go ahead, I'll see you at the Entrance Hall Minako," Duo managed to let out as he held his nose again in pain. He went back into his room and shut the door.
"Well, shall we go?" Quatre asked, still amused buy the whole scene. Minako took a hold of his arms again as they walked down the hall. Standing patiently in the Entrance Hall, Minako kept to herself as she waited for Duo. I wonder what kind of stuff he's going to have me do… Minako thought.
Just then, she saw Duo coming down the stairs with his hands behind his head. He had already fixed the small problem from this morning. Instead of having dozens of bandages all over his nose, he simply placed just one band-aid over it. Minako thought he looked cute with it on.
Duo was wearing a red muscle shirt and black slacks. The teenage girl could not help but admire his well built muscular arms. "You ready?" he asked.
"Ah… yeah."
"Good, we're going to go have my class outside okay? Wufei's hogging the gymnasium," Duo explained as he led her out into the morning fresh air. The atmosphere was peaceful. Quatre's mansion was a couple of miles away from the next town.
Minako's instructor guided her towards an oak tree where a huge shade was located. "First off, I want to see you do some jogging from here to the mansion. Then I want you to come back here. Got it?"
The blonde nodded, getting ready. This was not hard for her. Minako was always good at track.
Well, here goes nothing, Minako thought before starting her dash. .*.*.*.*.*. Author Notes: Here's the beginning of Minako's coaching. Duo and Quatre will mostly likely be fine for her right? But what about having Trowa, Wufei and Heero lessons?
The food that Minako was eating at the beginning was the food I had for dinner at a restaurant. Damn, (*-,*) it's making me hungry…

A servant had just placed her plates down. It contained a T-bone steak, mashed potatoes with melted butter on top, and carrots. A roll with butter and a salad dish was at the side.
"Hope you enjoy it," Quatre smiled warmly towards his guest from across the table.
He sweat dropped when the blonde grabbing her knife and fork and licked her lips. She did a silent prayer before she devoured her meal.
Duo was speechless, dropping his fork. Damn, she sure can eat! he thought to himself as he watched Minako, to his right, attacking her salad first. He turned to the other pilots when hearing Wufei speak.
"As much as we enjoy watching an onna eat like a pig, can we get to the main reason here?" the jet-black haired pilot asked with aggravation.
"Of course. We'll start off with the lessons," Quatre suggested as he took out a piece of paper and pen from his vest pocket. He placed it on the table and looked up at the other four. "I'll write down what each of us will do."
"I have just the thing for Minako! I can be her first class, getting her into shape!" Duo said amused when Minako yelled "Hey!"
"Ok, Duo will start with the exercises in the morning…," Quatre informed as he wrote it down.
Trowa was silently eating his food before he thought of a good tutorial. "Acrobat is fine with me," He told the others.
Wufei leaned back from his chair and let out a low grunt. "Fine, I'll do martial arts then," he muttered.
Quatre wrote down the other two and looked up at Heero. "What are you going to do Heero?" he asked.

"Aw man," Duo whined, looking at his wet pants. He was just at the moment of drinking when Minako scared him half to death with her cry of opposition.
"Sorry," Minako quickly apologized as she took her napkin and began to dry the dampness. This obviously made Duo blush, even if Minako was only drying his knee part.

Duo chucked. "Serves you right!" He turned away and headed out the door. "I'll get someone else to wait here; I need to get a Band-Aid for my nose!"
Minako watched him walk away before taking out her brush and taking the knots out of her gold locks. Soon after, she had finished taking her shower and was now taking her morning bath. When she was fully inside, with the warm water touching her chin, she heard her bedroom door open and close.
A knock was heard at the door with Quatre's voice, "Are you okay Miss Aino?" passing through the barrier and into her ears.
"Just fine Quatre," Minako answered. She heard him walk away from the door and take a seat on one of her chairs.
Duo was right; I do have a long day ahead of me. I have classes the whole day!
Wishing she could relax just a tad bit longer, Minako got out of her bath and placed her light-yellow bathrobe on. She had matching slippers to go along with it. Minako was about to open the bathroom door when she remembered something.
Darn it! Quatre's there! I keep forgetting I'm going to be watched like a hawk, Minako thought when her hands snapped back away from the knob. And I don't have my clothes in here with me!
Deciding it over, the future queen cleared her throat and called out to the other blonde on the other side of the door. "Quatre, I… uh…need to change… do you mind…"
She did not have to finish her sentience. Quatre quickly understood. "Oh yes, of course!" the pilot responded, turning around towards the wall while keeping his eyes shut.
Trusting the polite boy entirely, Minako walked out of the bathroom and went to her luggage to get her clothes.

"We'll see how it goes first and how you feel. Maybe tomorrow we'll have Trowa and Wufei teach you their classes."
Putting on her final touch, the famous red ribbon, Minako held her hair up in a bun with the ribbon's end dangling. "Okay. You can turn now."
Quatre did as he was told and held in a small gasp when he saw her. Even when Minako was wearing work out clothes she till looked attractive. Her slender legs could be seen now that she was wearing shorts. And with her hair out of the way it showed more of her beautiful face.
"How do I look?" Minako asked.
The soldier in front of her could only gawk and stutter out some words she could not quite get. This caused her to smile knowing what he thought.
"I take it I look fine," Minako finished for Quatre as he nodded hastily. She walked towards him and took his arm. "Come on, I'm starving. I wonder what we have for breakfast." She led him out of her room and down the hall towards the stairs.
Just as the two blondes went by Duo's room, the braided pilot came out still covering his nose when seeing how Minako was dressed.
"Duo, hey! How's your nose?" Minako asked.
Duo took his hand off his nose to show Minako how it looked. A second later, Minako was laughing hard at the sight. "Duo- you look so-," She stopped at almost every word to let out a giggle.
Quatre was even grinning, trying hard not to laugh. It was impossible to not at least grin at what Duo had done. The god of death placed dozens of band-aid all over his nose.
Pouting, Duo crossed his arms. "I look what?" he asked Minako.
Seeing the glower on the usually happy-go-lucky teen, Minako's laugh minimized down. "Sorry, it's just that, you did it all wrong," She answered as she whipped the tears of laughter away.
"I'll fix it then!" Duo replayed as he took hold of all the bandaged on his nose.
"I wouldn't do that Duo," Quatre warned.
But he was too late because right at that moment, Duo yanked all band-aids off. "AAH!" he yelped as a sting hit his nose.
"I tried to warn you," Quatre sighed.
"Damn it these things! You two go ahead, I'll see you at the Entrance Hall Minako," Duo managed to let out as he held his nose again in pain. He went back into his room and shut the door.
"Well, shall we go?" Quatre asked, still amused buy the whole scene. Minako took a hold of his arms again as they walked down the hall. Standing patiently in the Entrance Hall, Minako kept to herself as she waited for Duo. I wonder what kind of stuff he's going to have me do… Minako thought.
Just then, she saw Duo coming down the stairs with his hands behind his head. He had already fixed the small problem from this morning. Instead of having dozens of bandages all over his nose, he simply placed just one band-aid over it. Minako thought he looked cute with it on.
Duo was wearing a red muscle shirt and black slacks. The teenage girl could not help but admire his well built muscular arms. "You ready?" he asked.
"Ah… yeah."
"Good, we're going to go have my class outside okay? Wufei's hogging the gymnasium," Duo explained as he led her out into the morning fresh air. The atmosphere was peaceful. Quatre's mansion was a couple of miles away from the next town.
Minako's instructor guided her towards an oak tree where a huge shade was located. "First off, I want to see you do some jogging from here to the mansion. Then I want you to come back here. Got it?"
The blonde nodded, getting ready. This was not hard for her. Minako was always good at track.
Well, here goes nothing, Minako thought before starting her dash. .*.*.*.*.*. Author Notes: Here's the beginning of Minako's coaching. Duo and Quatre will mostly likely be fine for her right? But what about having Trowa, Wufei and Heero lessons?
The food that Minako was eating at the beginning was the food I had for dinner at a restaurant. Damn, (*-,*) it's making me hungry…
