Yami glanced over nonchalantly at the door as a group of five men came walking in. Marik's attention was now also directed towards the newcomers.
The five young men where all decked out in black gothic attire, lookin' pretty hot from where they now stood at the bar. The bartender loved his job, that's for sure. Marik elbowed Bakura who was arguing with Seto about something, and Yusuke was looking back and fourth between the two arguing bishonen. The attention of the whole table was now directed towards the pilots, who didn't notice the five bishies in the corner across the room from them watching them with interest.
"C'mon Hee-chan, there's no need to be so stiff here, no one will bite." Duo reassured the tense Japanese pilot. "Well.no one will bite unless you ASK them to, that is." Quatre quipped. Heero gave him a funny look. "Say, what's gotten into your recently, Quatre? You never act so.so." words failed Heero as he searched for the right ones. The Arabian merely smirked, and put on this trademark 'cute' face of his that has been made famous on more than Earth by now.
"You mean.I'm not a kawaii little pushover anymore, Hee-chan? Well.that's because.I'm sick of acting that way. Really, I'm NOT the wuss you all make me out to be. I would be the dominant one in bed, despite what everyone else portrays me as. They turn me into the timid little uke." Trowa twitched slightly.
"Believe me.it's true." he whimpered as Quatre flashed him a quicksilver smile. That smile ought to be labeled as a murder weapon, Trowa thought to himself. "Aw damn. Heero, why can't YOU ever be like that?" Duo had to avoid Heero's fist a second later, but his fist was caught by someone.
"You ought not to be swingin' your dukes around, you'd hurt someone there boyo." A female voice said in an Irish accent. He looked up to see that a hand wearing a fingerless black leather glove held his fist. The other hand also had an identical glove on it. Slowly, he checks her out.
She stood about 5'6'', with long golden hair and steel blue eyes. She was very pretty, slender, but apparently, judging by how she wouldn't let his fist go, she must have some measure of physical strength.
She wore black pants and boots, and a black shirt, with a long black leather trench coat all the way down to her ankles. Some black and silver spikey belts around her slender waist, and three earrings in one ear, two in the other. (First and second holes, and then her cartilage pierced near the top of her ear left ear. The other ear didn't have the third piercing.) She also had a nose ring: a small steel ball on the side of her left nostril, and had a lip ring, that was in fact a ring around the center of her lower lip. Strangely.she pulled that look off very nicely indeed. Looked good in black leather and silver piercing: which was how Relena dressed up, to impress the guys. But she only succeeded in looking disgusting. This new girl here looked HOT dressed like that, in their opinion, anyway. Even WUFEI was checking her out. She smiled at them.
"Look, just be more careful, okay? You may have actually regretted punching your friend. I suggest.that you look before you leap? You are a little too quick to harm people, and it may be none of me business, but he only asked a small, likely brainless question on why you aren't more dominant." She had dropped the Irish accent. Didn't apparently really talk like that. She then turned to look at Duo.
"And you.perhaps you should be grateful that you are the semi, and not the uke. Unless.you both hold dominance, somehow." She smirked at the blank looks that suddenly appeared on their faces. Blank.and totally shocked. A woman that they knew nothing of basically just chopped them down to size, kind of.
"Now if you excuse me.I'll leave you alone. I have some business to attend to." With that, she released Heero's fist from her iron, inescapable death grip, and then wandered past them to a dark corner at the bar, and ordered herself a drink. As they watched, a dark figure made his way towards her, and then they both seemed to greet each other rather stiffly, and settle into the far corner where it was darkest to talk.
Heero narrowed his eyes, and massaged his fist and wrist. It hurt rather badly, might be sprained. Fuck! Where did a woman get so strong, and manage to look like a delicate little swizzle stick?! He thought to himself. But he watched the two people in the corner, talking to one another, almost as though.
"They look like a pair of business associates, or something to that effect. They are being awfully secretive, and don't seem to want anyone to know what they are talking about, and whatever it is, it must be extremely important." Trowa observed quietly, as always. The others agreed.
"Maybe it is wrong to suggest this.but.maybe we should go and listen in a bit? It couldn't hurt.they might be the ones that Howard was going to warn us about." Duo suggests. "No, he was going to give us an assignment to seek and destroy pilot 06, actually. No one knows anything about that pilot, or what their Gundam looks like. No one has seen it up close and lived to tell the tale, and any info that we get on it seems to disappear a split second later before we can sift through it. I say we go see what they are talking about." Heero answered. Quatre sighed in frustration. This was meant to be a night to relax and party. They are still teenagers, after all, and like every other teenager, has the blood-born right to go out on a weekend and get COMPLETELY smashed, and then wake up heavily hung-over for the entire next week. But now that THIS came up, he supposed that it was best to get a jump- start on their new assignment.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get this over with already." Wufei snapped. He was even eager for some time off. Now that is a bad sign, Quatre thought. When even Wufei needs a break, even if he would never say that out loud, that is pretty fucking sad. If that's the case, then Heero must be ramming himself into the ground. Just.ducky.
They meandered throughout the crowd, taking extreme care to seem nonchalant. Soon, they came within earshot. They saw out the corners of their eyes that it was that badass woman that caught Heero's fist, and a man that wore all black as well, and from what they could see, was actually fairly good looking. Not ugly, but not exactly hot, either. Just.nice looking.
"So, did you finish the adjustments on D.C.?" she asked the guy. He took a sip of his beer before answering. "Not yet, but it'll be done tonight, hopefully. If not tonight, then next week." She took a long drag off of her cigarette, and snorted. ((What he says will be in bold.))
"Hn." "What?" "Which is it?" "Whaddaya mean by that?" "Don't act stupid, Leon. Which is it?" "Oh, you mean tonight or next week." "Exactly." "Next week."
She grabbed his throat suddenly. No one really saw, except for the pilots. "I SAID which is it?" "Next week!" "Wrong answer, worm." She tightened her grip on his throat. "Ahh! Okay okay okay! As soon as possible!" he chokes. "And when is that, exactly?" "Well, not tonight! Maybe tomorrow! Or the day after! Just please don't kill me, those adjustments take a bit, and the scientists can only work so fast.! Now please, let go! I can't breathe!"
She relinquished her grip. "Well, see to it that they move faster. Supervise them personally, if you must. But I want my Gundam to be in the perfect working order when I get it, WITH the new technology. It is only a matter of time before they find me out, and I cannot risk my Gundam getting destroyed, savvy?" "Umm.yeah. But how can they know anything? You see to it yourself that no one gets a lead on you, right?" "That I do. But Leon, did you fail to notice the fact that they are disturbingly close to finding me? They don't need that info.just.they need to find my base, and you know damn fucking well that it is right under their fucking noses, and I cannot, at this point, afford any fuck-ups. And neither can you, if you want to get paid, you worm." "Hey, that's right, they moved to this city. The Winners own the largest mansion in this whole city." Then he shivered. "Damn. They are breathing down your neck, aren't they?" "NO.they are breathing down OUR necks, friend. If I get caught, I'm taking you jokers with me. So." She looked around, finishing her margarita off with a quick sip. ".We'll have to meet at a different location now that we've been here. Could've found a better place to be for this little discussion, but that would hardly be fair for the authorities. I do long for a bit of a challenge.this organization has lain in secret for so long, and no one has found out anything about it, save for that satellite they found near the asteroid belt about eighty years ago. Oh yeah, and I think that the pilots are here, too. Contact my when the repairs and whatnot are done, okay?"
"Yep. Will do. And, hey? Think on the bright side! If they heard anything.you'll get your challenge!" He smiled at her happily. He's a nice guy, really. She was proud of him. After all the time they'd known one another, she was finally having a negative influence on him, which is a welcome change from her perspective. He was now capable of this little thing called, 'sarcasm.'
They got up, shook hands, and dropped their glasses off at the bar, and walked out separately.
After they heard a car and a motorcycle leaving, the pilots all met up in the corner, looking disturbed.
"D.C.? What's that?" Duo mumbled, looking round' at the others. They shrugged. "Maybe.it is the name of that Gundam? Or new mobile dolls? Perhaps something else? I couldn't tell with the music blasting that loud."Quatre suggested. "I heard some things, but I couldn't really hear all of the details either." Wufei muttered.
"Let's go back and contact Howard. He'll want to know what we heard." Heero said. They all agreed, and walked out, hopped into the car, and left.
Meanwhile, Yusuke, Yami, Bakura, Seto, and Marik all had seen what happened.
"I think, that we need to keep an eye open. This may prove to be interesting." Yami murmured, as he watched the pilots walk out the door with keen red eyes. The others silently nodded in agreement.
------------------------------------ There! I updated. IT MUST BE THE APOCALYPSE!!! AHHHH! Oh, I know that it sounds like I ripped off some quotes from movies. And guess what? I DID! So sorry. Don't own any movies either!^^;;;;; You may hear that also too, I'll have them say stuff that came from some movie. But here's me saying that I don't own any of that stuff. Oh, HUGE thanks for the review! I need more reviews! PLEASE! REVIEW!!!!! Encourage me!!!! I need ego boosters!
Seto: Believe me. She does. Me: Fuck OFF, I didn't allow you to say that! Seto: Hn. Me: Oh, well! Ummm, lookie! I am so mean! I am leaving quite a few things in the dark here! Wanna find out what alla the fuss is about? Then send me reviews! Anything will do! Just.please! I need encouraging! Even if you say, like, just ONE word, I need to know people read my fanfics! But I'll probably keep writing anyway.
Duo: Just PRETEND that you have one hundred reviews! Won't that work? Me: BAH!!! Fear me! I'm The Fanfic Writer From Hell, and I'm called that for an EXCELLENT reason, Duo! YOU should know this by now! Duo: *whimpers * Mommy. Seto: XD Me: Can it, Seto. *Brandishes a pencil and notebook menacingly* Seto: *whimpers* No.Ra please help me.I did nothing to deserve this.
