-_-_-_-Chapter Three-_-_-_-

"Hello pilots. The reason for you all being here today is because you have new allies..." Noin began, but was rudely interrupted by Wufei.

"Feh! We don't need any help!"

"Yeah, we work alone," Duo agreed with Wufei.

Heero and Trowa both nodded.

"Well, too bad. You will need the extra help. These people are experienced with the enemy. They have beaten our enemy before. Unfortunately, they were only able to send two of them to help us. They are two of the strongest."

"We don't need extra help!!" protested Duo. His pride was hurt, he didn't need help, and neither did the others. They were all very capable of defeating the enemy by themselves!!

"I don't care what you think!! This is for the good of the world. Now, if you will let me introduce them to you. Could the two of you please come forth," their allies emerged out of the shadows.

Duo's jaw dropped and his eyes bulged out. His eyes must be deceiving him. He just couldn't believe what he saw in front of him.

Rei's eyes scanned the room. Her eyes lingered over each person in the room for about two seconds until she reached the last person. She could not believe her terrible luck. 'Oh Kami-sama!!'

"Guys, these are your allies, Rei Hino and Haruka Ten'oh."

"An onna is going to help us? Or ?! They don't even look like experienced fighters!! They look weak!"

That statement earned glares from Rei and Haruka. "The only weak person I see here is you," Rei said in retaliation.

"Shut up onna, you don't even know what your saying!"

"No, you don't know what your dealing with here. We are stronger then you'll ever be."

"You might be stronger then that baka there, but not then the rest of us."

"Hey! I'm not weak!" Duo shouted and a smirk appeared on Rei's face.

"All of you settle down right now! Wufei, they probably are stronger then you guys. We don't know for certain yet."

"No offense you two, but I agree with Wufei. You don't look like fighters," Duo spoke out. His eyes were still focused on Rei; he remembered their previous 'close encounter'. 'How could she be a fighter? She doesn't look like it at all.'

"We are more powerful then you think," Haruka said. "As Noin said, we have beaten your new enemy before. We both have different powers, Rei can control fire, and I can control winds. You are up against a powerful enemy. They, like us, use magical powers. We know many of their tactics, so we will have to work together."

"We don't need your help. We can manage on our own," Wufei said with a sneer.

"Look you dumb ass chauvinistic pig, we are here to help you! We don't give a fuck to what you have to say, we were brought here to help you defeat the enemy, and that is what we intend on doing! We left our friends and family to come here and help you! We did not leave all of that behind just so you could refuse our help! If you want, it would be my pleasure not to help you! We're not doing this for you pitiful soldiers; we're doing it for your people. Our duty is to keep people safe. And that is what we are doing, with or without you guys. Either you're in or you're out. And I'll tell you something else; you are not a true soldier! You are far from it," Rei shouted, giving them a piece of her mind, she had gotten fed up with Wufei's comments. She crossed her arms over her chest and glared at the pilots.

She shocked some of the pilots with the outburst. How much were these two sacrificing to come here and defeat their enemy?

"Pilots, like Rei just said, either you're in or you're out. Now, what are your decisions?"

"In," Heero was first to speak up. He did not want the help either, but he was a true soldier. And a soldier protected the innocent.

"I'm in," Duo said. He was excited that he was going to work with Rei for a mission, but he also felt terrible. They had left people dear to them just to come and help them. And here the pilots were, not losing any thing refusing the help that was being offered to them.

"It will be my pleasure to work with you both," Quatre smiled, he was very thankful for what they were doing.

Trowa just nodded his head to show that he was in.

"Injustice! Having to work with these two! But I'm in," Wufei grumbled.

"Okay then pilots. Setsuna and I have decided that you guys should stay at their house. Setsuna is another fighter like them, she is the one that sent them."

"We can't be a bother. We can still stay in our house," Quatre insisted.

Wufei nodded, "They probably don't have enough room for us."

"You are sooo wrong!! They are loaded!!! Their house is bigger then Quatre's!!!" Duo informed the guys. He received questioning looks from them and quickly said, "Oh I'm Rei's partner for a project."

"Okay. As Duo has said, they have plenty of room for you guys. They have all the plans and equipment needed for the mission. You can all go now, I suggest you guys go over there tonight to discuss the mission and get acquainted with Rei and Haruka."

With that said, everyone walked out. "You guys just follow us," Haruka spoke then got on her motorcycle like all the other guys and Rei got into her Ferrari.

When they all arrived at the house the guys were a bit shocked. None showed it, but they were amazed that the house was bigger then Quatre's.

"I suggest you all go explore the house and pick a room that's not taken. The one's that are taken are the two that are painted red or one beige. The rest are un-occupied," Haruka told them as they went in the house. All the guys went their own ways to pick a room.

It was late at night by the time they were done discussing the mission, so the guys decided to stay the night. Rei was in her pajamas in her room. Her pajamas consisted of short shorts and a red spaghetti strap.

The night was warm. Rei opened her balcony door and stepped out into the warm breeze. It was so nice out. She took a seat in one of the chairs out on the balcony.

She looked up at the stars; so many could be seen clearly tonight. 'What could that dream have meant? Why hell was I crying and letting Duo comfort me? Who was the other guy? Was it Erik? No was I so sad? Why the, he would never hurt me.' Rei's thoughts drifted off and went onto her friends. Setsuna had said that it would be a long time before they could actually go home. Although they could go and visit sometimes, but only for a short period of time. Other then that, they were stuck living here until it was officially time to go home. She missed them so much. Without knowing, Rei started falling asleep, and all her thoughts drifted off with her.

~Duo's room~

Duo got up from his bed. Something was bothering him, but he didn't know what. Duo had noticed that when he picked his room that there was a balcony outside. It was the only thing that connected his room with Rei's. They shared the same balcony, he had discovered that earlier as her explored around the house. Duo decided to go on out to the balcony to refresh his mind.

He walked to the edge of the balcony and just looked straight ahead. He turned around to get a chair, and that's when he noticed her.

Rei was asleep in a chair. She looked so angelic, peaceful, and serene, She looks like a true angel. I wish she were my angel. I should go on and take her in.' He picked her up and was shocked at how light she was, She's as light as a feather.' He walked over to where her door was. He gently slid his hand off of her and opened the door; he walked through the door, and entered her room. He laid her gently onto the bed. Then, he pulled her sheet over her up to her waist.

"" she mumbled in her sleep.

Duo jumped, then he noticed that Rei was not awake. 'Did she actually say my name? Nahh, I'm probably just so tired that I'm imagining things! I should get to sleep now.' He turned off her lamp and went back through the second room and out the balcony door. He then went back into his own room.

He fell asleep a few minutes later. All his thoughts and dreams centered on tomorrow, it was going to be Saturday. The day that he would meet Rei's friends, her boyfriend and her beloved city.

"Mmmm, I love you too Rei..."

~~~~Morning~~~~

Rei got out of the shower. She wrapped a towel around her body and another on her head, then went over to the mirror and got her toothbrush and toothpaste out. She began to brush her teeth. At that moment the other door to the bathroom opened up. Rei was shocked, she didn't know that someone else was using the room that was connected by the bathroom.

~~~~Other room *it's not Duo's by the way, Duo's is on the other side of hers, it's only connected by balcony, this is a different room*~~~~

He got up lazily from his bed and yawned. First thing he was going to do was take a shower. He was completely unaware that someone else was in the bathroom, he didn't even know that the bathroom was connected to another room.

He walked over to his dresser and got his towel, only in boxers. He walked over to the bathroom door and opened it up. He heard a gasp, looked up and then he saw Rei standing there.

She screamed at the top of her lungs, "AHHH!!! You dumb ass pervert!!! You're such a fucking ass!!! Get out!! Get out right now!!!!" She then shoved him out the door.

He was shocked. Whoa. Did that actually just happen?' He actually felt embarrassed; he hadn't meant to walk in on her. But he had to admit she did look good. **Snickers*I typed dat!!! Srry, I'm on pills right now* Just like Duo had said to the guys many times since he met her. It seemed she was all he could talk about since he met her! But he had to agree with Duo, she was very fine indeed. She was beautiful and seemed very strong spirited. Maybe he should get to know her.... wait! He couldn't think like that! For one thing, his friend, Duo, was crushing on her!! And also, if he'd heard Duo right, she was taken. He wasn't supposed to have these feelings towards women anyway, not after what happened a long time ago. No, he couldn't have feelings towards anyone or anything. Especially women.

p.s. here are dis chapters lyrics:

[:Hook:]
And I, just being straight with you
Cause He, Takes you for a fool
So you, should be on your guard
When he thinks you don't have a clue

And I, keep the truth be known
That you, and don't fall alone
When He, gets everything he wants
So girl open up your eyes and see
With me...
