"Love is what the Heart can't help"-AznxAngel
The sun shown brightly above illuminating Mina. She had been running and had eventually slowed down as she entered a busy little town. The town was filled with happy people and many vendors selling different items. She walked around a corner and saw a bunch of news reporters all crowded around in front of a tall office building. Lights were flashing and all of them were in a frenzy. Mina, out of curiousity, drew closer to the crowd. She went to a shop closest to the office building and walked up the steps, lifting herself onto the railing to elevate herself for a good view. She saw a young woman with sandy blonde hair and a light pink buisness suit. She waved her hand and smiled brightly as the reporters tried to get her attention. She pushed through the crowd and into a limosuine. Minako sighed.
"I wish I get that famous one day." She sighed again before jumping off the railing. She landed gracefully on her feet. Mina shoved her hands in her pockets in hopes to find some money but found nothing. Kicking around some pebbles, Mina finally decided to continue what she had been doing all day. Walking. Mina headed in a random direction and decided to begin her adventures from there. Mina was walking into a more buisness style city area when she found an add posted on a telephone pole.

Mina's eyes bulged out of her eyes. "That's it!? That's all you have to be?! Oh my God! God loves me!" Mina squealed as she drew near to a public phone. She stepped into the booth and realized she had no change. "DAMNIT!" She fumed while looking around on the ground for some lost change but found none. Saddened she resorted to her only choice. She was going to have to call collect to her future boss. "Good grief," she sighed. Mina dialed collect and let the operator handle the rest. She was connected right away.
"Hello? Relena Peacecraft speaking,"
"Hi, this is Mina Aino. I saw an add for a job and I was hoping to get that spot?" Mina said hopeful.
"Yes, I put that add up and I still haven't found a suitable candidate. If you can come by my office today by 5, I could fit in an interview. My office is on Peacecraft Lane." Relena responded.
Mina smiled in relief. "I'll see you then!" Mina hung up the phone and went right away to looking for the building. She then realized that she never asked where the building was and that she had no clue where she was in the first place.
"SHIT!" Mina screamed as she headed back to the phone. She turned on her heels and went around the corner intent on looking for the phone. To her surprise she met steel. Mina flew backwards in surprise as did the "steel" object.
"Double shit" Mina said rubbing her face. She looked up frowning until she saw what she had run into. The same boy that had been on her ass before. "YOU?!" Mina practically yelled. Heero's eyes slanted into a squint in a very threatening manner.
"You."
"Yea, me! Ugh. I don't even want to deal with you right now. I have more important things to do." Mina said standing up. She brushed off some loose dirt on her butt and straightened out her pants. Heero stood staring at her unwavering. Mina looked around uncomfortably.
"What are you staring at me for," Mina questioned.
"I have a few things you need to answer." Heero said still looking her straight in the face. Mina quirked an eyebrow at this.
"Really? I'll answer your questions if you answer mine." Mina said crossing her arms with an attitude.
"Who are you?" Heero asked.
"Psh~that's a simple question. Mina Aino." Mina said fidgeting.
"Who are you involved with?" Heero said slowly putting his hand in his pocket.
"Excuse me? Are you trying to hit on me? Listen, I am single and all but I don't want to get involved with guys like you. You seem too..." Mina was cut off as Heero broke in.
"I wasn't asking who you were dating. I was simply asking what organization you're involved in." Heero said. His hand clenched around his gun in his pant pocket. He squeezed the handle tightly.
"Well actually, no, hopefully is more like it! I will hopefully become involved with the Peacecraft Foundation," Mina sighed.
Heero was caught by surprise at this answer. He pulled his hand out of his pocket and looked at Mina intently. He began heading to Relena's office in hopes to find better answers there.
"Hey! Where are you going?! You still haven't answered my questions!" Mina followed after the strange boy still calling out, often refering to him as "Ass-wipe" and "jerk". He rounded a corner and crossed the street. Mina ran after him trying to follow quickly. She ran while the the "do not walk" sign flashed. Mina was nearly run over by a Fish truck driving to the market.
"HEY WATCH IT BLONDIE!" a rugged looking fat man shouted at her as she continued on.
"Sorry mister!" Mina smiled. As she turned her smiled faded into a look of annoyance and muttered under her breath, "Next time why don't you watch it jerk!"
Mina caught up with the strange boy that she had met earlier and walked along side him. Heero shot her a quick glance and coninued on his way to Relena's office. They both soon found themselves in front of a large office building glittering from the sunlight reflecting off of the many panes of glass. Mina shielded her eyes with her hand and looked up, seeing that the building seemed to disappear into the sky and above the clouds. She resorted her attention back to the man beside her. The man that was* beside her. Mina saw him walk through the revolving doors and chased after him. She noted the large sign outside the door read The Peacecraft Foundation. Mina pushed the revolving door around quick enough to see the man enter the elevator. She broke into a sprint struggling to board the elevator before he disappeared yet again. Stopping the door from closing with her arm, she smiled as the doors slid open ready for her entrance. Heero slightly groaned as Mina boarded straightening her hair out.
"Now, mister....?" Mina asked.
"Yuy. Heero Yuy." he answered pressing a botton for the 24th floor.
"Well, Heero, you rudely ran away from me before I could get some answers." Mina said turning to face him with her hands placed on her hips. "Question number one! What organization do you work with?" Mina asked jabbing her index finger into his shoulder. Heero shot her a death glare causing her to stop her contiuous poking.
"That's confidential." Heero lied. Many already knew he worked for the Preventers but he couldn't risk having this girl knowing too much, even if it were the basics.
"That's a lie. Only the FBI would keep their jobs a secret and in my eyes, you're not anything close to a cop!" Mina said snorting. Boy was she wrong. Heero raised an eyebrow and answered her question.
"I work for the Preventers." Mina's face scrunched in slight confusion.
"What are the Preventers?" Heero almost chocked on his breath. She didn't know about the Preventers? How is that possible? The war had ended years ago but she was old enough to have lived through it. Surely she had some idea. Heero's head was trying to figure out why this girl would act dumb.
Heero began, "It's an organization that takes care of buisness too big for the FBI and Secret Service. We handle the stuff they can't. It's the highest level of enforcement." He searched her face for any signs of her faking but indeed she was genuinely confused.
"I didn't know there were such jobs. I mean, nothing has happened for the governement to have made a new level of enforcement." Mina said to herself.
"Nothing has happened? The war happened." Heero said completely confused.
"WAR?! When the hell was there a war?" Mina said gesturing with her hands.
"3 years ago." Heero stately flatly. Mina turned away from him slightly placing her hand on her chin.
"How is that possible? I landed here this morning. There is no possible way so much could have happened in the time it took for me to go from Tokyo to here. Unless....DAMNIT SETSUNA!" Mina cursed loudly as the elevator door opened. She smacked her forehead before walking to the front desk with a woman in a suit seated in it.
"Hello, how can I help you today?" the woman asked.
"I'm Mina Aino. I have an appointment to see Relena Peacecraft?" Mina said looking over the desk. The woman pressed her phone and spoke into it.
"Miss Aino? Please go through that way." the woman showed her the door on the side of the hallway. Mina moved towards the door when she felt Heero behind her.
"Now just where do you think you're going?" Mina asked curtly.
"I'm going to see Relena about something important."
"OH NO YOU'RE NOT! You're not talking about anything before my job interview!" Mina said as she tried to push Heero back away from the door. She shoved with all her might to no avail. He didn't so much as budge. She "hmphed" and entered Relena's office.
"Hello, Miss Aino I pressume?" Relena said rising from behind her desk. "Please sit down."
"Thank you," Mina answered grateful for the offer. She plopped down on the plush leather seat positioned in front of the desk.
"So tell me of your experiences as an active athelete." Relena began folding her hands together, propping her chin on top.
"Well, I have many sisters. Our family basically lived in a war zone type town. Many fights occured amongst the citizens that were known to be very hot tempered. My sisters and I have gotten into physical fights with them as well and I have trained myself since a young age to be swift and as powerful as possible." Mina smiled nervously. Her eyes danced around Relena's desk as she thought about what she said. ' Swift and powerful? You hardly moved Heero from his spot! Powerful my ass!' Mina said to herself as she bit her lower lip.
"Well, I have faith in you. If you can get your belongings as soon as possible and meet me back here it would be wonderful." Relena smiled sweetly. (Too sweetly for my taste*) Mina's smile beamed.
"I got the job?!" Mina squealed. Relena laughed as she nodded. Mina stood up bowed to her many times over and over. "Thank you so much! I promise to prove my worth!"
"Well why don't you head on out and get your things. You'll be staying at my estate."
"I don't need to! I don't have anything..." Mina's smile fell and she shifted her gaze to her feet.
"That's alright. I will provide for you. Just wait outside for me please. My asistant will come with the limo and take us there." Relena said grabbing some things together.
"One question, what exactly am I doing?" Mina asked slightly anxious.
"You're training to be my new bodyguard."
