Rival Assassin Reformation
Chapter 2: First Encounter
Princess Relena stood in her office looking out the large window at her Sanc Kingdom. Along the steps, teenage representatives from around the world filed into the Peacecraft academy. As the next generation, it would be they who would help their countries in making the final decision.
Smiling to her-self she turned and smoothed the wrinkles of her uniform out. Today she would meet the five girls representing Japan. It was unusual for so many students from one country to be accepted to the school, however Relena had made it a point that the Peacecraft Academy offered to teach the principles of pacifism to ANYONE and so, the young teens had been received.
The double-doors of her office opened and Noin stepped in.
"Miss Relena, the five students from Japan have arrived."
She motioned for Noin to bring them in.
"Let me introduce Miss Mina Aino, Ami Mizuno, Rei Hino, Serena Tsukino, and Lita Kino."
Each girl bowed in turn as her name was called.
"It is a pleasure to have each of you attending the Peacecraft Academy, I hope you will enjoy your stay here and that you will accept our teachings of pacifism." Relena said in a soft, firm voice.
"I hope I die." Serena mumbled, pulling slightly at her constricting uniform.
"What was that?" Relena asked.
"I said so do I, Miss Relena." Serena replied, forcing her-self to smile innocently.
Relena gave the girl a strange look before turning to her desk to get their dorm numbers and keys.
Lita poked her in the side "Claws in Shadow..." she growled lightly, but from the smiles on her and her other comrades faces, it was obvious they were suppressing guffaws.
Relena gave the girls two keys and five slips of paper.
"Lita, Rei, and Mina, you shall be sharing dorm room #36, east wing. Serena and Ami, you two will be sharing dorm #37, that's also in the east wing."
They nodded and followed Noin through the doors to their dorms.
Crossing her arms over her chest, Relena thought 'There's something about those five.'
SERENA AND AMI'S DORM
"Whew, that was close." Mina sighed sitting on Ami's bed.
"Yeah." Rei agreed, "Shadow almost blew it though."
Setting her laptop on the desk near her bed, Serena opened the cage that had been shipped to the academy on her request.
"Come on girl." She said softly "It's ok Luna, come out."
Holding the small ball of dark fur close, she smirked at her friend's expressions.
"What is it with you and cats Serena?" Lita exclaimed, "If they find her here we'll be thrown out for sure, *then* how'll we complete the mission?"
Her comrades nodded in agreement.
"Listen." Serena said, " Luna has always been able to avoid suspicion, no one has to know she belongs to us. Besides, she'll be our eyes and ears where we cannot go."
She smiled slyly, and fingered the small daisaku symbol fixed to Luna's collar. Mewing gently, Luna licked Serena's fingers and then bounded out of the girl's arms and out the window, eyes flashing.
Serena's eyes went cold, "If I have to spend the next couple months, possibly here, wearing a dress and, as if that isn't bad enough, a PINK dress. I will a least have the comfort of having ONE of my cats here so that I don't go COMPLETELY insane from the perpetual HAPPINESS that surrounds this damned school, got it? Any questions?" She glared in her cat-like way, challenging her friends as a lioness would.
"No questions."
"Nope."
"No problem."
"Not one."
"Good." Serena said, a slow smile spreading across her pale features.
"Don't we have some sort of class now?" Rei asked almost hurriedly.
"Yes." Ami said as she looked at the schedules that were on the desk. Looking at the names on the tops, she handed them to her friends.
"The next classes start in ten minutes. I have a seminar in the auditorium on pacifism to be given by Miss Relena."
"So do I." Serena said, not a trace of happiness in her voice.
"Members of the boys division will be there as well. We should look for the Gundam pilots." Ami suggested.
"I have English." Mina said, sighing heavily.
"I have World History." Rei said, her mouth twisting slightly.
"Hmmm, I have something called Pacifist ED." Lita said shuddering.
"It doesn't matter though." Ami said solemnly "As I said before, these are co-ed classes, so keep an eye out for the pilots. Don't worry about listening to the actual information of the class.
All five girls stood, they placed their hands one on top of the other, Serena's on top, and Lita's on bottom.
"From now on we must pledge to take whatever steps necessary to accomplish our mission." Serena started, as usual.
"To stay focused despite temptations." Ami continued.
"To keep our true purpose hidden." Said Mina.
"To remember what we fight for." Rei said.
"We must vow to keep our goal in mind and carry out our task until we have succeeded." Lita finished.
"MISSION ACCECPTED." They voiced simultaneously.
BOYS DIVISION
The five G-boys walked down the hall to get to their classes. Heero and Trowa going to a seminar on pacifism. Quatre going to an English class, Duo on his way to Pacifist ED, much to his dismay, and Wufei going to a world history class...grumbling.
Throwing his arm casually over Heero's shoulder, Duo asked slyly, "So Heero ole buddy, ya seen Relena lately?"
Heero glared at the American, knowing what he was implying. "I have not, nor do I wish to see Relena, and if you don't get your arm off my shoulder, I'm going to..."
"I know, I know." Duo said, cutting off his friend and pulling his arm off Heero. "You're going to kill me."
"I'm going to kill you." Heero finished.
Quatre laughed faintly "That loveable monotone."
"I bet Relena likes it." Duo said giving Heero another sly glance.
"I bet." Wufei said, unable to resist finding a fault in Heero's famous monotone.
Growling, Heero grabbed his two comrades by the uniform and tossed them into their classes. He kept walking. Trowa and Quatre shrugged at his action and followed.
"This is where I'm going." Quatre said opening the door to the English room. "Heero, please try to be reasonable and enjoy yourself." The blonde-haired darling said, eyes soft and beautiful. He smiled gently at Trowa and then slipped through the double doors into his class.
The last two G-boys headed toward the auditorium for the 2-hour long seminar on pacifism. Heero sighed indignantly and pushed open the cherry wood doors of the auditorium and walked in just as two girls slammed into them from behind.
"Oh my gosh, I'm very sorry we didn't see you."
Trowa and Heero turned to see a girl from the other division standing in front of them. She had short blue hair and icy blue eyes that shone with efficiency and intellect. She leaned over and pulled up her friend off the ground, who immediately started yelling.
"Ami, what the HELL are you doing stopping right in front of me? What are you trying to do kill me?!?" Then Serena stopped.
"Serena..." Ami poked her friend; about to tell her that staring is rude when she saw it. They were two of the Gundam pilots. Ami was shocked.
'Shit' Serena thought.
She brushed her-self off and a glance at Ami showed her frozen in surprise. Breathing deeply she remembered what Mina said.
"Whenever I'm in an OZ base and someone manages to catch me I just act really, really stupid! I think to my self 'Mina, just be a blonde' and they usually fall for it!"
Serena almost kicked herself as she recalled she had never been very good at that. She didn't have the attributes that Mina possessed. Instead she bristled. Like one about to pounce, her face became dark and her eyes cold as stone. Her very aura hissed "Beware."
Heero felt the change as much as Trowa did and felt himself unconsciously leaning for the blade he kept with him at all times.
"There's no problem ladies." Trowa said calmly, hoping to steady Heero.
Ami quickly realized what was happening and tossed her hair girlishly and smiled her iciest smile, "We'll be more careful next time. Come along Sere-chan."
Grabbing Serena by the arm they all but ran across the auditorium, leaving two very irritated and wary Gundam pilots behind. Catching their breath, Serena and Ami avoided the looks being given to them by the other girls there.
"That was very stupid Serena." Ami whispered.
"Dr.S would have been displeased at our lack of control."
Ami nodded, "They must be suspicious of us now..."
"Who cares what they think?" Serena said suddenly very angry, "I'll not be made a fool of in front of second-class assassins.
"Hmmm..." Ami replied.
It was then they realized that other girls were giving them strange looks. Lucky for them, Relena took that time to walk across stage and begin her introductions. Ami, always the scholar took out her mini-computer and began taking notes. However, Serena was still seething at her embarrassing encounter. She slid down in her plush seat and pulled out her visor, jamming it tightly over her face. She closed her eyes tightly determined to sleep through the entire seminar.
'And so the first move has been made' she thought, 'you just wait until I have my claws in you Heero Yuy......Just wait......'
