AN: I'm in heaven! Arigato to everyone who reviewed. I'm so happy that you guys liked it. Gomen nasai for missing up Quatre's name *hides behind her kitty from the Quatre fans*. But I have a very good excuse, I live in Montreal, and I speak French, in French quatre is pronounced differently than Quatre (as in the Arab's name ), so I thought that it's spelled Quatra. See this is what happens when Rita is out of town and is unable to correct my mistakes. Just kidding. Anyway, for those of you who don't know what Yami no Matsuei is, it's a series all about the Shinigami. *sigh*. The story is mainly focused on Tsuzuki Asato, who is the oldest and most powerful employee in the Shinigami sector. Tsuzuki like Usagi has a very big sweet tooth and likes to procrastinate , not to mention that his is a total Bishounen. His motto is :What you can do tomorrow don't do today. He can summon lots of beast gods to help him, including the pheonix Suzaku, the white tiger Byakko, and the blue dragon Seiryuu. There's a picture of him on my author's page, he's the one on the upper left hand corner, the guy with black hair and purple eyes. Anyway, if you want to know more about it you can always email me at xuxin84@hotmail.com
Here's the next chapter.

"…" talking … thinking
Chapter 1
"Guys, have a little patience will you? Just let me finish up my game," Duo said. The G-boys were currently standing by the largest game stand in the carnival waiting for Duo. The first thing the braided boy decided to do after getting off of the roller coasters was to drag the whole group to the game stands. Now ten minutes and five dollars later, everyone besides Duo was holding a pile of prizes in their arms while the self proclaimed Shinigami flexed his muscles and prepared to shoot his arrows again. The owner of the stand stood in his empty tent, a look of shock on his face as he lamented about the fact that he just got bankrupt within ten minutes.
"Maxwell! Are you blind? There's nothing left in this stand. You've already won everything there is," Wufei screamed. In his right arm he held a teddy bear as tall as he is, in his other hand, he held on to a bag that contained five barbies dolls with their respective Ken dolls. On his head, he wore one of the pink heart shaped sunglasses, and a hat that said 'kiss me' in bold white sparkles against the black fabric.
"No I haven't, see there's one last thing."
Everyone looked to see where Duo pointed to, in the farthest corner of the highest shelf, a lone white stuffed bunny sat by itself. All the eyes followed Duo's movements as the braided boy knocked another arrow on to his bow, and let it fly at the small bunny. True to his aim, the arrow hit the stuffed animal, just as another arrow also hit the bunny at the same time.
All eyes followed the owner of the stand, as the mid aged man handed the last prize to a girl.
"Hey! That's my bunny! I shot it down first!" the braided boy whined as he looked at the enemy whole stole his kill. His eyes widened at the sight of the most gorgeous girl that he has ever seen. The girl has silverish blond hair that was tied into two round buns on either side of her head, with twin streamers of shimmering gold flowing down to her calves. Her perfect figure was confined in a pair of tight jean shorts and a pale blue tank top. But it was her eyes that had Duo and the other pilots so mesmerized. They were a glittering sapphire blue, with a twinkle of amusement in their depth as the girl giggled and moved forward to push up Duo's jaw, which fell without him realizing. Wow, what a babe was the only thought that occupied Duo's mind.
The mysterious girl turned to leave when suddenly a thought hit Duo.
"Hey beautiful, you still have my bunny with you," Duo called out, ignoring the fact that the girl's arrow also hit the bunny at the same time as his. The girl turned and stuck out her tongue, but continued to walk away. Duo growled and was about to give a chase when someone grabbed his braid. "Ouch! What you do that for Hiiro?"
"Hn," was all Hiiro said as he kept a tight hold on the braid. He wasn't about to follow Duo in a meaningless chase while holding the braided baka's junk. Dumping the pile of fake guns and chocolate into Duo's arms, he turned and sat down at a near by bench. It surprised him that after the war, a normal girl could have such a good aim. His thoughts were interrupted when a certain Chinese pilot opened his mouth.
"Maxwell, just let the weak onna keep that weak rabbit," the pilot of Shenlong said, unfortunately he made the mistake of speaking a little too loud.
The girl stopped in mid step. Walking back (more like stumping, one could actually feel the ground shake), she stopped in front of Wufei. She offered a sweet and innocent smile and extended her hand. "Atashi wa Tsukino Usagi," the girl introduced herself.
"I don't shake hands with weak onnas like you," the Chinese boy replied rudely, not realizing that his life was in danger.
If it was possible, the smile on Usagi's face became even more sweeter, "Oh, is that true? What do you do then? Kiss them on the lips?" Usagi taunted as she looked pointedly at Wufei's cap. Beside the Chinese boy, Duo was having trouble breathing from laughing so hard. Quatre let a chuckle escape while Trowa and Hiiro smirked at Wufei's red face.
"Maxwell, you better shut up if you want to live till the end of the day," Wufei hissed between his teeth. Not wanting to die at such a young age, Duo slowly got off the ground, still holding his stomach.
Satisfied with Wufei's reaction, Usagi was about to leave again when someone grabbed her arm. Turning around, she met a pair of hyacinth eyes sparkling with mischief. "Wait a minute beautiful, I believe that you still have something of mine," the pilot of Deathscythe grinned as he pointed at the stuffed bunny in Usagi's arms. The other boys groaned (well, only Quatre) as they realized the old routine.
A smirk appeared on her face, Usagi asked "Oh really? As I recall, my arrow hit the bunny the same time as yours did, so I have as much right to it as you have. And plus, the owner did give the bunny to me, Mr…"
"Duo Maxwell at your service my lady. I might run and I hide, but I never tell a lie," the youth picked up Usagi's hand and kissed it as he bowed. But before his lips made contact with the smooth skin, the owner of the hand immediately snatched it back, a look of fear in those clear blue eyes. It was gone so fast that the boys wondered if it was just their imagination.
"I normally don't pick on girls, but this is a special situation," Duo was mad if he was going to let this beauty go without getting to know her a little better first. Usagi raised an elegant eyebrow, waiting for the braided one to continue. The other guys also eyed Duo curiously wondering what kind of game he was playing.
"Since we both hold claim to this bunny, how about we have a little contest? The winner takes the bunny and the loser have to pay for the winner's dinner for today," Duo proposed.
A look of amusement appeared on Usagi's face as she nodded, "You're on."
The braided one smirked to himself. Step one of his little trap had been set. Now all he had to do was find a way to make the girl lose. Then not only would he get a free dinner, he would also have the most beautiful girl accompany him as well. So wrapped up was he in his little fantasy that he didn't notice as the people around him move away as he laughed like a maniac (imagine Tamahome counting money). Immediately stopping, he looked around the carnival, an evil glint came to his eyes as his eyes fell on a particular stand. Grinning like an idiot, he once again grabbed Usagi's hand and pulled the girl to the front of the stand. Then other pilots followed, still carrying Duo's junk, they were all eager to find out what the braided one planned. Poor Wufei had to ran for his life when several fat ladies attempted to lock lips with him after looking at his hat.
"This is certainly an interesting day don't you guys think so?" Quatre asked the remaining two pilots.
"…"
"Hn."
As usual, these were the only response he got. Both of the quiet pilots were busy observing the blond goddess. She appeared to be like every other teenage girl, but both had caught the look of fear in her eyes when Duo was about to kiss her hand. This somehow sparked a feeling of protectiveness within the normally cold pilots. Looking at the girl now, the two pilots could tell that despite the cheerfulness that was her appearance, she radiated an aura of pain and loneliness.
The rest of the four pilots mad their way to the stand, just in time to see Duo slap down a twenty dollar bill. Everyone's eyes widened as the owner of the stand put five cherry pies in front of Duo, and another five in front of Usagi.
"The one who can eat the most pie with their hand tied behind their back will be the winner," Duo challenged with a smirk.
Understanding drawn up the other guys. There was no way the petite girl could beat Duo in a pie eating contest. When it came to food, the pilot of Deathscythe has the biggest sweet tooth and stomach. They all looked at the girl in pity. There was no way she could win now.
"On your marks, get set, GO!"
The two contestants dropped their faces into the first pies. Five minutes later, the pilot's mouth dropped as they saw the two start their sixth pie.
"By Allah! Am I dreaming?" the pilots were a state of shock as they wondered how a small girl could eat so much. Duo they could understand. The baka was on a sugar high everyday, but Usagi…
Ten minutes later, a large crowd had gathered around the small tent to gawk at the contestants. Feeling that if he ate anymore, his stomach was going to exploded, Duo threw up his head, and through the layer of cherry filling on his face, managed to burp out his surrender. Usagi looked up , her face beaming with triumph. The two looked like a couple of kawaii five years playing food war.
"Maxwell! How dishonourable of you to lose to a weak onna!" guess who said that.
"That's easy, he only finished nine pies, I ate fifteen," Usagi said, pissed off at being called weak again. I swear that I'm going to make him pay for all the weak onna comments. the Shinimegami thought to herself as she wiped the pie filling from her face.
Just then, a loud voice spoke from a microphone. "Ladies and gentlemen, may I have you attention please. As you might already know, before the carnival closes, we have a surprise for all of you, which requires the help of some of you. The money collected at this last event will go directly to the children's hospital. Now there are five people who have a black dot on their ticket, could these five people please come up to the stage please?"
Looking down at her ticket, she saw a black dot, Usagi knew that she was one of the five. An evil glint came to her eyes. With a small switching motion of her hand, a certain Chinese pilot suddenly felt himself being pushed on to the stage by an invisible force. In his hand he held a ticket with a black dot in the middle.
"Please put on these costumes," the announcer said as he handed a polka doted clown costume to Wufei. It was completed with a rainbow colored wig and a red sponge nose.
"This is injustice! Barton is suppose to be the clown here, not me!" Wufei panicked as two men pushed him down into a seat.
"Please mister, this is for a good cause," one of the men holding down Wufei whispered to the pilot of Shenlong.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it's five dollars per a pie if you want to try your luck at hitting the clowns, so please line up," the announcer said as the people ran up to form five lines in front of the five clowns.
It might have been coincidence, but Wufei suddenly found himself staring into a pair of evil sapphire eyes belonging to certain Shinimegami. The rest of the pilots were behind Usagi.
"Yo Wu-man! What kind of pie do you like?" The unmistakable voice of the braided baka was heard. "You're very lucky today, because they have quiet a selection here. There's cherry, blueberry, lemon and cream, apple, peach…"
Usagi reached into her pocket and materialized an one hundred dollar bill. Handing the money to the cashier, she said with a smirk, " I would like to buy twenty pies please, two of each flavor."
The cashier was more than happy to comply. "Thank you for your donation miss," the man said as he set the pies down.
Now for my revenge," Usagi thought with a smirk. She turned to the other pilots. "You know, you're more than welcome to join me if you want." She offered as she waved her hand in the direction of the pies.
Duo's grin was large enough to split his face as he immediately went up and grabbed two pies. Quatre was a little hesitant. Trowa walked up calmly and picked up an apple pie, this was for the clown comment. Hiiro thought for a minute before following Trowa, a small tug at his mouth as he thought of how the justice boy was going to react when they finish. With no other choice left, Quatre sighed before picking up a cherry pie.
Wufei looked at them with horror, and before he could even say Nataku, seven pies (Duo has two) came flying at him at the same time. All of them hitting their target. Duo did a little victor dance while listening to Wufei's cursing and threats to end his life. If it wasn't because he was held down, Wufei would have strangled the braided baka to death by now, and the onna too. But since he couldn't move, the only thing he could do was give the glare-o'-death (that could rival Hiiro's) and shout out death threats as the rest of the twenty pies came sailing at him, covering him from head to toe with the gooey filling.
After the twenty pies were finished, the group of four pilots and one Shinimegami, quickly looked for an escape route. They weren't stupid, they knew that the first thing Wufei would do when he is free is to hunt them down. But unfortunately they were not fast enough. Before they were even out of the crowd, they could hear Wufei's war cries as he charged in full speed towards the five. Normally, Duo would have laughed his ass off, but a look at the Chinese boy's rage filled face, sent him running for his life while holding his precious braid.
The chase lasted for at least half an hour, until the five people ahead was out of breath. When Wufei finally caught up, an eep was heard as Duo ran behind Usagi, seeking safety from the Solitary Dragon, who at this moment was mad enough to spite out fire. Even though she was the Shinimegami, Usagi wasn't stupid to provoke the Chinese boy when he was in this state. With a squeak of fear, she ran behind Hiiro, who took out his gun from it's secret hiding place in his spandex. Wufei slowly calmed down with the gun pointed at his head.
"I swear Maxwell, and you onna, this means war. Just you wait till we get back," a determined look lit up Wufei's dark eyes.
"So Usagi-san, where are you staying?" Quatre decided that it was safer to change the subject, before Duo could start another fight again.
"Well, I just moved here, and I'm staying by myself. My guardian enrolled me into the Sanq Kingdom Academy," Usagi brooded as she recalled the fact that she would have to start school tomorrow.
"Really? That's where we go too!" Duo cried, excited that he could see Usagi again, "but you better beware of the stalker."
"The stalker?"
"Yeah, it's the Relena Peacecraft girl. She's the so called Queen of the world, and got this thing for the Perfect Soldier boy over there. You could hear her screech a hundred miles away every time she sees him."
"Omae o korosu Duo,"
Duo immediately shut his mouth as he faced the barrel of a gun.
"So, where are you from Usagi-san?" Quatre asked again, trying to keep the conversation going as the group walked back to the Sanq Academy.
"It's okay Quatre, you don't call me Usagi-san. Just Usagi or Usagi-chan will do," the shinimegami hesitated a moment before answering. "I'm from Japan."
"Hiiro is from Japan too you know," to everyone's surprise, it was the quiet Trowa who spoke this time.
"Oh really? I was raised in a shine in Kyoto," Usagi lied. She knew that they were the gundam pilots, and they would do a background search on her when they got back. Since she died one thousand years ago, it would be the safest to make her background as vague as possible.
"That's so cool?!" Duo cried, forgetting the glares he got from Hiiro and Wufei, "does that mean that you're a miko? Can you do weird magic thingys?"
"I'm not a priestess yet, I am a shrine maiden, in training to be a priestess," it was not a complete lie. On one of her earlier missions as the Shinimegami, she was forced to live in a shine and disguise herself as a shrine maiden. So she knew quite a lot about Japanese magic, mythology, and religion.
"Can you show me a trick? Do you have a charm on you? What do you do in a shrine?"
Usagi instantly regretted her words as she was attacked by Duo's questions. Thankfully, she was saved when they finally arrived at the Sanq Academy.
"HHHHHHHHHHHHHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOO!" was heard when the group barely even set foot into the school.
A flash of maroon and sandy blond was seen as a figure glued herself ( or should I say itself) onto poor Hiiro. The others of the group was too busy rubbing their ears to help Hiiro. Usagi was tempted to blast the animal that made the awful noise to the other dimension, when she suddenly realized that this was the stalker that Duo told her about.
Relena finally stopped trying to force Hiiro's head down for a kiss and turned to look at the rest of the gang. Her eyes narrowed as she saw the new girl.
Hugging (more like squeezing the life out of him) 'her' Hiiro, Relena prepared a cat fight back when the other blond girl approached her and 'her' Hiiro.
"Um, miss Relena? My name is Tuskino Usagi, I'm the new student here. My guardian enrolled me today," Usagi introduced herself, feeling sorry for Hiiro as she saw him turn blue.
"Oh yeah, your that Tuskino girl. If you'll go to my secretary, she'll give you your schedule and dorm number," Relena dismissed the new girl.
Usagi was extremely pissed off, if she wasn't undercover, the Shinimegami would have blasted Relena to Hell by now. Smiling a sickening sweet smile, she did a mocking curtsey, "yes Your Majesty".
Relena was about to screech out a comeback when she suddenly smelled something burning. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" her scream could be heard all the way from the colonies when she realized that it was her sandy blond hair that had caught fire. Running and tripping all the way, she managed to make it to the bathroom just before she became bald.
Usagi smirked to herself before walking away with the rest of the G-boys.
"Wow! Talk about spontaneous combustion!" Duo said in awe. "I wonder how it happened. It'll come in handy every time Relena comes close."
It was then that the pilots saw the mysterious little smile on the Shinimegami's face.
"You mean you did it?!?!" the five pilots all stared in shock at the small girl.
"Consider this as the little miko trick that you wanted to see earlier Duo," was her only reply as the group made their way to Relena's secretary.
"Let's see, Tsukino, Tsukino. There you go, here's your schedule, and your sharing a room with Duo Maxwell and Hiiro Yuy," the old secretary handed Usagi her things, "You stuff also arrived today, I believe that they are already in your room. Have a nice day Miss Tsukino."
"Thank you," Usagi said the rest of the guys turned to head back to their dorms.
Duo was grinning from ear to ear when he learnt that the goddess was going to share a room with him. It's like a fantasy coming true, well except for the part that Hiiro also stays in that dorm.
Following Duo and Hiiroto her new home, she carefully thought about her mission. So far so good, the Earl has made no attempts so far to take away their lives. But it made Usagi extremely angry to know that she was assigned to stay with the two boys. She was sure that Konoe was to blame for her current situation, oh just wait till she gets back.
She stepped into the dorm after Duo opened the door. It was like a small apartment. Complete with its own kitchen, bathroom and two bedrooms. Her bags have already been carried into the living room.
"Okay, since there are two bedrooms, I'm going to take one, and you and Hiiro can share one," Usagi quickly made her decision. It was bad enough that she had to live with two guys, she was not going to sleep in the same room as one. Taking her bags into one of the bedrooms, she closed the door before Duo could say anything.
"Oh man! I wanted to room with her!" Duo whined to Hiiro.
"Baka, this makes it easier if we get a mission," was the only reply from the perfect soldier as he went into the room that he would unfortunately have to share with Duo.
The door of Usagi's room opened again, as the girl came out with a towel and a change of clothes. "I'm going to take a shower now," the girl announced before she slipped into the bathroom.
A minute later, Hiiro came back out. He changed from green tank top that was slightly torn from where he tried to ply Relena's hands off, to a new one.
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!" the scream was heard as the Hiiro closed the door.
Duo and Hiiro immediately pulled out their guns and ran to the closed door of the bathroom, where Usagi was suppose to take a shower. From the scream, it sounded as if there was a hundred OZ soldiers were hiding in there.
With a nod from Hiiro, Duo kicked open the door while Hiiro rolled inside, both boys pointing their guns. They looked around quickly and saw Usagi clad only in a skimpy towel, pressed into a corner, backing away from ….
AN: Muhahahahahahahaha!! Cliffie! Want to find out what's going to happen? Review! Oh, and I apologize to all the Wufei and Relena fans, it was a temptation that I just couldn't resist.
