Chapter 2 - The Mystery

"I've found out something about our mystery girl," Heero told Duo as they sat, again, in the courtyard during break, watching the blonde girl and her Asian friend as students again flanked them.

"And what's that?" Duo asked around the hot ham and cheese sandwich he had bought.

"Her name is Sarra Rachelle Dorson," Heero replied, "Her friend is Sakura Taeko. Sarra's on the Fencing Team, Kendo Team, and Dance Team. Sakura's been on the Dance Team and in the Chess Club. According to their files, while Sakura has a flawless record, Sarra has been reprimanded several times for wearing the improper uniform and getting into fights. Sakura's in the top of her class, she makes straight A's and is being considered for the gifted program. Sarra's an average student, passing mostly social studies and art classes while she can barely pass anything mathematical."

"So they're the Odd Couple," Duo said, taking another big bite from his sandwich, then he waved as another girl walked towards their spot, "Hey! Karol!" The girl smiled and sat down with them, which made Heero mumble something close to a threat.

"Hi, Alison," Karol smiled, "Whatcha doing sitting over here?"

"We were wondering who those two are," Duo told her, pointing to Sarra and Sakura, "They seem really popular around here." Before Karol could so much as open her mouth, there was a gasp rippling through the crowd as they seemed to part for a figure walking through them. Standing, Duo and Heero turned to the cause of the commotion...

And saw none other than Relena Peacecraft, the girl looked as though she were making a beeline for Duo and Heero, a determined look on her face as her eyes looked from one student to another, each wanting to see the vice-minister.

Aw, shit, Duo thought, She's gonna blow our cover But Relena then stopped as her gaze flicked over to the small group still surrounding Sarra and Sakura. Duo couldn't help but grinning, She must be steamed that another student can get as much attention as she can Relena frowned and turned towards the two girls, her step light despite the look of distaste on Relena's face.

"What is your name?" Relena asked the girls, who had stood up when they saw her approaching. Sakura looked nervous in the presence of such an over-powering girl, but Sarra just folding her arms over her chest and gave Relena and even stare.

"Sarra Rachelle Dorson," Sarra replied, her voice even, showing no emotion other than a slight trace of annoyance.

"Sakura Taeko," came the light, gentle voice of Sakura, the Asian girl never met Relena's eyes and she was nervously playing with a strand of her long, black hair.

"Do you realize, Miss Dorson, that you are wearing the inappropriate uniform for a female Osaka Academy student?" Relena asked, Duo just snorted and rolled his eyes, of course the girl obviously knew that she was wearing the boys' uniform, or else she wouldn't be wearing it.

"Of course I do," Sarra replied, keeping her voice firm.

"It is not proper for a lady to be wearing a boys' uniform," Relena reprimanded the girl, "What would your parents think if they saw you in such clothing?" Sarra's even look turned into a glare as she stooped down and retrieved her bag as well as Sakura's.

"My parents, Miss Peacecraft, are dead," she said, her voice cold, "Good day." She then slung her bag over her shoulder, gently placed an arm around Sakura's waist, and led the Asian girl away from a slacked-mouth Relena, who just watched as the pair disappeared into the gathered students.

"Ooo...Relena had a run-in with the Prince of Osaka Academy," Karol whispered.

"Prince?" Duo looked at the girl in surprise.

"Yeah, Alison," Karol replied, "That is Sarra's nickname, The Prince of Osaka Academy. She's always defending people and she's even gotten into a few fights with some boys for picking on Sakura. They're very close, it's been rumored that they are going out, which is why Sakura is called her Princess. After all, a Prince always rescues the Princess, right?"

"I guess that's how it goes," Duo said, scratching his head, "But I've never heard of a girl being called a Prince."

"And I'll get you never met a girl like Sarra before," Karol smiled as the bell rang for the after noon classes to start.

Clank!....Clank!....whoosh....Clank! Clank!...Clank!....Thump! A polite applause sounded as the two fencers bowed, then turned and bowed to the audience as they applauded more.

"Wow, the one in the blue is good," Duo commented as he, Karol, and Heero watched the afternoon's Fencing Team practice.

"That's the Prince," Karol said, pointing to the winner, "She's the second best member of the Fencing Team, and rumor has it that she's up for captain next spring." Heero watched the girl through hard eyes, there was something different about this girl, he could sense it. Duo, of course, noticed Heero watching the girl and smiled a bit.

"She's a bit unusual, ne?" Duo whispered to his koi, "Do you like her?" Duo grinned teasingly as Heero glared at him.

"Omae ro kurosu," Heero mumbled, returning his attention to the fencer below. Again, Sarra was up against another student, and again, she won almost without breaking a sweat. His eyes flicked over and he saw Sakura standing quietly by the door of the fencing room, her hands clasped in front of her as her ebony eyes watched her Prince. She was too quiet for Heero, too thoughtful, which left his mind to imagine what she might be thinking. Her face was passive, not like the determined face of Sarra as she beat yet another opponent.

"Okay!" the captain stood and addressed both the Fencing Team members and the audience, "That is all for practice today, keep it up, remember, we're selecting the five members to go to the National Fencing Tournament next week, as well as nominations for captain next spring. Keep up the good work!" The members bowed, then left the floor, receiving a thunderous applause from the audience.

"There is something strange about those two," Heero mumbled as he watched Sakura and Sarra walk off, "And I'm going to find out what."
