At once Akiko and Hotaru heard the gun. They jumped from the car and slammed the door, bursting into the building without a word.

~*^*^*~

Heero and Wufei had been setting up rooms for Trowa and Quatre but stopped suddenly when a gunshot was heard from downstairs.

"Did you hear that?" Heero asked abruptly as he dropped sheets on the bed. Wufei nodded and the two sprinted downstairs to see two girls run into the restricted hallway.

Heero ran through the door leaving Wufei to check the guard. 'No pulse,' Wufei thought. He growled and walked through the door, but not before taking the knife from the wall. 'Pure injustice!'

~*^*^*~

Akiko and Hotaru walked quickly through the halls, searching for Akiko and possibly another person recently demised.

Another gunshot . . .

Running footsteps!

"Crap-" Akiko shouted before throwing herself and Hotaru into a room. She instinctively shut the door, leaving a creak not even a centimeter long. She heard Hotaru mutter something and smirked as two silhouettes ran past their hiding spots.

"Are they gone?" Hotaru asked as she sat up.

Akiko nodded and slowly stepped out. "Let's go, I've got a bad feeling." She said and they crept slowly out of the door.

"Don't move," Someone said behind them startling the two teenagers.

But in the back of her eye, Hotaru could just make out the other's long bangs covering half his face.

No mistaking it, Trowa Barton had a gun trained on them and would kill them if he had to.

~*^*^*~

He coughed, again and again, he didn't know how much now. Blood trickled down his lip and into a small puddle on the floor.

Duo had managed to dodge the first few of Kaiya's gunshots, sure, no problem. But after some of them, he had fallen and she nailed him right in the stomach.

Again he coughed. He didn't understand who the psycho was or why she'd shot him. It's not like she was one of his angry old girlfriends.

Duo almost laughed but it quickly subsided as he coughed again.

Snickering was heard, and then hysterical laughter. 'First this babe corners and shoots me, now she's laughing. Today is just not my day!' Duo figured as he struggled to his feet.

With a groan and a grunt, he dropped down again. He wondered where everyone else was. Sure they had heard the gunshots. They were loud enough. Kaiya had emptied the gun of it's bullets on trying to shoot him.

He looked up again, she had stopped laughing and it turned into a sneer. "Tell your friends," she began, "that my name is Kaiya."

With that she turned and ran off, leaving Duo in complete bewilderment. 'What. . .?' He thought. But he didn't get any further as a strong grip helped him to his feet. He groaned in pain.

"Take him to the infirmary," Heero ordered Quatre, who was now behind him. But everything else was getting drowned out as Duo realized he was about to loose consciousness.

"Her name's Kaiya. . ." He muttered slowly before his eyes drooped closed and blackness overtook him.

~*^*^*~

'C'mon Akiko, what now?' Akiko thought to herself as she and Hotaru were lead through a different hallway other than the one they were just in. Trowa and Wufei were with the two, Hotaru and herself proving much more hard to handle than the two had thought.

'Okay, let's just analyze this situation.' Akiko thought some more. 'We got two incredibly strong guys pointing guns at our backs leading us to . . . somewhere.'

She turned her head slightly to see that Wufei had, not surprisingly, a scowl on his face and Trowa remained expressionless with the one eye staring at them.

'Okay, not the livest bunch, but I can change that.' Akiko thought as she eyed Hotaru. She was obviously angry and worried, not believing that the two pilots would stoop this low.

Akiko turned her head slightly, a crude smirk on her lips. Hotaru noticed it and gave her a questioning look. But before she could do anything else, Akiko bent slightly, turned and did a round house kick at the unsuspecting Trowa.

Wufei cursed but Hotaru slammed her elbow into his ribcage, knocking him into the wall. He grabbed her wrist and threw her onto the floor. Hotaru brought her knee and kicked him in the stomach, rolling out from under him as he took out a knife.

Akiko grabbed the gun she knocked from Trowa's grasped and emptied the bullets onto the floor, surprising all three teens.

She turned but not before two strong, tan arms wrapped around her waist. She struggled from the person's grasp but it proved useless as he was stronger than she was.

She growled and bit down on Trowa's arm, and stepped on his foot with all the strength she had left.


He dropped her to the floor and she rolled to the side and attempted to trip him, but he was beyond her reach.

"Hotaru!" Akiko barked as she saw the girl dodging -- barely dodging -- swift punches from Wufei.

"I'm a little busy here Akiko!" Hotaru snapped. She got punched by Wufei and fell to the floor along side Akiko. "We were wrong to underestimate you," she then growled at the ex-pilots.

"Likewise," Trowa said simply.

"Now why are you here?" Wufei demanded.

Akiko smirked and stood, taking a small sphere from her pocket. "Just trying to save a friend!" She shouted and threw the ball-like object.

It exploded upon contact with the floor, bursting with a bright light.

She grabbed Hotaru's hand and the two ran off. But not before leaving two very stunned teenage boys.

~*^*^*~

he was right at the door when he heard it. The somewhat insane laughter echoing off the walls and in his ears as he opened the door to find the teenage girl staring at him with eyes filled with anticipation. But there was more: fury, sadness, and hidden deep, vanishing only after a second, confusion and regret.

Heero frowned, she caused so much trouble? The girl didn't look dangerous enough to practically kill the almighty Duo, or the clerk at the front.

But Heero knew that looks weren't what made the fighter. And apparently that theory worked well in this situation.

And not only that, but she had caused all the damage. 'If not then those other two,' Heero thought, remembering the two young women he and Wufei saw run into these rooms and hallways.

"So I take it you're Kaiya?" He asked as he removed a gun from and clicked the safety off.

"So I take it you're my next victim?" Kaiya responded. "And how's Duo doing, by the way?"

Heero growled and pointed the gun upwards. "Omae wa korosu," He said.
