Damia - "Alright, I just finished chap 3, I'll post it tomorrow,"
Solatina - "If she remembers,"
Wren - "And you always remember?"
Damia - "I like this story, even if it's got darkness and stuff,"
Solatina - "BAd issues,"
Wren - "And as for certain people that thought she was dumb to write about this stuff, no one loves you,"
Solatina - "People need to realize that things like this happen everyday and that you can't ignore it and pretend it isn't there,"
Damia - "Yeah, so there,"

"Are you sure she's asleep?" Duo asked.
"Considering we're in a different room, it wouldn't matter if she was awake," Quatre reminded the boy. They were in Heero and Wufei's dorm talking about the girl, Rei.
"She was nervous," Heero commented.
"I can't believe she told me to stop checking her out," Duo complained.
"So the onna has a little taste," Wufei shrugged.
"She was pretty hot though," Duo said with a grin.
"She was scared when she found out she was in the coed dorm," Quatre said with a frown.
"Her file says that she was a spy for the cause, but not what she did as a spy, none of her aliases, and nothing at all personal. It does say that she was captured by Oz five months before the war and that she was let out after the war ended," Heero announced.
"Five months as a prisoner with Oz?" Quatre said in surprise.
"I'll get her confidential files," Heero commented. He started to type like crazy on the lap top.
"Alright Wu-man, what's up with you?" Duo demanded.
"MAXWELL," Wufei started.
"Omea O Korosu," Heero stated, pulling the gun from nowhere.
"Nothing is the matter braided baka," Wufei told him.
"You were thinking about Rei," Duo started.
"Yes," Wufei said. Duo shut up instantly. Wufei never agreed with him.
"What about her?" Quatre asked.
"I know her from somewhere," Wufei said in an annoyed tone.
"Come to think of it, so do I," Quatre said.
"I know exactly from where I know her," Duo said with a shrug.
"Which is?" Quatre asked.
"She was there when I got death-scythe," He said with a shrug, "I've seen her around on some of my other missions,"
"What?" Trowa asked in surprise.
"She was there when I got Death-Scythe," Duo repeated with a shrug.
"I found the rest of her file," Heero said in his usual monotonous voice. They all crowded around Heero's computer.
"What's on it? Huh? Huh? Huh?" Duo asked with the usual Hyperactivity that he was known for.
"This is bad," Quatre muttered. Duo stopped bouncing and looked at the file.
Name : Rei M. Hino
Height : 5' 5"
Weight : 113lb
Hair : Dark Plum
Eyes : Purple
Occupation : spy
Alias : Pyro, Mars, Phoenix, Flame, Bombshell, Bullet, Goddess, Fire-bird, Peace-crane, Dove, Fire, flare, Burst, Blast, Detonation, Destruction, Waste, Target, Priestess, Angel
"What's so bad about that?" Duo asked.
"Don't you recognize any of those names?" Quatre asked in surprise.
"Huh?" Duo looked at them again. "WAIT A BLOODY MINUTE," He shouted, "She can't be all of them," He exclaimed.
"According to this, she is," Trowa said with a shrug.
"That means that she helped us with almost all of our missions," Duo said in shock.
"A weak onna could not have done all this," Wufei growled.
"But wait, think about it for a moment," Quatre said.
"Think about what?" Duo asked.
"At least one of these names was mentioned every day for doing different things, then one day we find that Goddess has been captured and none of the others are heard from again," Quatre said.
"Good point," Duo said with a nod.
"What else is there?" Trowa asked. Heero typed for a sec and a list of medical charts popped up.
"Dude she's got as many as Heero does," Duo exclaimed.
"Hn," Heero clicked on the most recent. It was about a month ago. There were a few paragraphs.
Miss Hino was returned to us from the Oz base in deplorable condition. Multiple contusions, burns, and breaks. The only bone found that was not broken was her spine. Severe injuries to her abdomen and womb. No longer able to have children after poor abortion conditions during her stay with Oz.
Miss Hino Is suffering from complete neurosis, but is recovering rapidly. She should be over it within the next three weeks at most. Insatiable need to prove herself as indestructible in the eyes of males. Constant nightmares that have lead to insomnia and eating disorders. Depression seems to add to nightmares. Prescribed diet below.
Professional opinion that Miss Hino will recover in two to three weeks from her physical conditions. It is personal opinion that her mental pain will take a few months to recover from at the very least.
"Whoa," Duo commented.
"That poor girl," Quatre said worriedly.
"No one deserves that," Trowa said with a slight frown. It disappeared quickly, leaving the usual blank expression. Heero tapped a few buttons and the file disappeared again.
"What'd you do that for?" Duo exclaimed.
"We don't need to read anymore. We know who she is," He said.
"Leave the onna alone Maxwell. What was done to her was dishonorable and foul," Wufei said.
"Wu-man's got a crush," Wufei started to chant.
"Omea O Korosu," Heero said, pointing the gun at Duo's head. Duo took the hint.
"Come on Duo, let's go to bed, we have classes in the morning," Quatre said with a yawn.
"Oh man, don't talk about bed and school in the same sentence, it ruins my entire night," Duo complained. The two left to their room. Wufei got up and went to his bedroom a few minutes later. Trowa and Heero sat in silence for a few minutes neither of them talked. They glanced at each other a few times and then Trowa nodded and went to his room.
He walked in and quietly closed the door behind him. He walked down the hall and opened the door to his bedroom. He lay down on his bed and thought about the girl in the room across from him. She was so beautiful and graceful. She hadn't deserved any of what she had gotten. He felt a pain deep down for her. Of course, he dismissed it quickly and decided that he had been around Quatre to long.
The next morning Trowa awoke to strange sounds and smells from somewhere in his dorm. He sat up and walked out to the kitchen area. The girl was there listening to Bond and cooking. He didn't make any noise but she turned to glance at him anyway.
"At this point I've made enough bacon, eggs, and pancakes to feed an army, would you like some?" She asked. He looked at her and nodded. "You can call your friends over as well," She told him with a shrug. There was a knock on the door. Rei walked over and opened it. Wufei automatically pushed past and entered the room. Rei gave a quick gasp before composing herself. Duo, Quatre, and Heero stood at the door and waited to come in.
"Please come in, I made breakfast for you all," Rei said quietly. She pressed herself against the wall and let them in.
"Babe, you are a goddess. This looks fantastic," Duo exclaimed.
"Would you like a plate?" Quatre asked.
"No, I'm going to take a shower," She wandered down the hall and into her room. She left her room and went into the bathroom with a bundle of things. Fifteen minutes later she came out and walked into the kitchen to see a plate for her on the stove and Duo consuming the rest.
"How does he breathe?" Rei asked.
"As far as we know, he doesn't," Quatre said with a disgruntled sigh.
"That would explain it," Rei said staring at him with a fascinated look.
"First class is Geometry with Mr. Tomizawa," Quatre told her. Rei groaned in her head. She had aced that particular subject long ago.
"Is Mr. Tomizawa nice?" She asked.
"As nice as a man who's had a three foot stick up his ass for the past twenty years can be," Duo said cheerily. Rei frowned to herself as she followed them out.
