Hello everyone! Chapter Five, ready to go!

Okay....Ummm. I screwed up and put up the wrong chapter! ::blushes deeply: Hehe, sorry guys. So without further delay...heres the REAL chapter!

I think I like the way this story is going....I'm going to keep doing this new Paragraph thing that I've started and see how it goes. Hopefully it will be liked much better this way......

My story will keep going to 'Beauty and The Beast' storyline and, just to straighten it out, that is the Disney version. But it won't go to it exactly.(especially since I haven't seen it in two years) That was my favorite movie from age 4-9, then Anastacia took over. -Lol-

Started High School yesterday! It was fun! Whoo Hoo. And you'll all be happy to know I'm taking Honors English Grammer!

And on with the Reviews:

Heero walked through his castle with confidence. It did belong to him after all..... The point being, he had trained, and bathed and was now in the right mind-set to bring this about. But before he could, he had a few things to do. So he had called a meeting once more, same place as the last meeting they'd had.

Walking into the room, he sat down in the chair at the end of the table. It was a different chair, since he had broken his usual one last time. He sat down in it and leaned back, waiting for the Braided Idiot to come waltzing in late.

Sure enough, five minutes later Duo came w in, his usual annoying smile on his face. He walked over to his chair, and winked at Makoto, who barely stifled a giggle at Heero's death glare. Sitting down he propped his feet up on the table and leaned his chair back. Motioning for Heero to begin, he pulled out a piece of paper and started playing Tic-Tac-Toe with Rei.

Heero scowled at this but said nothing, Duo often tested his patience. But in his experience, he and Rei always kept a ear open and processed everything he said. But they had trouble staying awake otherwise, so he let them play their game, as long as they paid attention. With another scowl at Duo as he lost the game badly, he began.

"Duo!"

Duo put an X in the top right corner, then looked at him, while watching Rei out of the corner of his eye. "Hm?"

"I need you to get me some flowers from Hilde."

"Awww.Heero!" Duo cooed in a too sweet voice,"really I would but I'm taken."

Wufei scowled at Duo, and tipped his chair over. Duo went with a grunt, and hit the ground hard.

Duo struggled for a moment, trying to get his braid out from under the chair. Then with a satisfactory look when he got it out, he stood up and playfully glared at Wufei, who only smirked.

Then, once again plopping in his seat, began playing his game again.

"Duo."

"What!" Duo said, mimicking Heero's voice.

Heero knew that Duo could tell he was frustrated, and was using it to his advantage.

"Get me some flowers, from Hilde. The prettiest one's she has. I need them soon, so go now."

This time Duo gave him a quizzical look, and stood up. Sensing he urgency in Heero's voice, he figured he should comply now. With a shrug, he picked up his paper and pencil and walked out.

"Wufei."

Wufei had been sitting up, straight and at attention as usual. Heero had noted Wufei, keeping an eye on Rei as she played with Duo. It was no secret among them all that Wufei had something for Rei. But when anyone mentioned it, he got very angry and haughty.(Which of course meant that Duo brought it up all the time, or was constantly flirting with Rei in front of Wufei.) The sad thing was, this couple spent more time fighting than anything.

Wufei gave him a curt nod, saying he was listening and he could continue.

"I need you to put together a band."

Wufei's eyebrows shot up."I'm a warrior, not a musician! Get someone else!"

Rei snorted, and mumbled something about him being a wimp.

This got Wufei's attention. No woman would call him a 'Wimp'. Flashing her a glare he stood up an saluted, once again making Rei snort. He was always so formal, it made her sick!

Shooting another glare Wufei formally said,"I accept!"

"Good," Heero said smugly,"take Rei with you."

Both of their jaws dropped in anger. Both began protesting angrily, before Heero silenced them with a glare. Rei haughtily stood up and stormed past Wufei, then out the door. Wufei followed, cheeks still enflamed with embarrassment.

Ami and Quatre were barely stifling their giggles, while Trowa had a slight smile on his face, and Makoto was just plain out laughing.

When Heero looked back at them, their laughter only erupted more. Now Ami and Quatre were plain out laughing, while Trowa smiled, and Makoto was rolling on the floor hooting with her laughter. Heero smirked and waited for the laughter to die down.

Finally when all was under control, he continued.

"Ami."

Ami smiled sweetly at him.

"I need you to clean the Queens suite, Trowa can help you with that."

Ami's eyebrows came together in confusion. That room was supposed to be for his wife/fianc'ee. What was going on? Realizing everyone was waiting for her to go, she quickly stood up.

"Trowa go with her."

Heero said before Ami exited, Trowa nodded and followed Ami out.

"Makoto."

Makoto nodded at him to continue.

"I need you to prepare a Dinner for two. It should be very big and eloquent, try to work on your showmanship, too.

Makoto stood up and dusted off her skirt. Getting ready, and already planning the dinner. She wouldn't question,Heero. She loved to cook and any reason was worth cooking for to her.

Quickly walking out, she was already making a list of supplies she would need.

Quatre was staring at Heero, in a strangely suspicious way.

"Quatre, are you still 'friends' with a Miss Dorothy Catalonia?

Quatre blushed at the reference towards his 'friend'. Dorothy and he had been friends for a long time. Friends. That was it, she had another boyfriend and he was much more interested in Makoto anyway.

"Does she still own a mining company?"

Quatre nodded his head in confusion. Dorothy owned a mining company that collected gold and gemstones, but what would Heero be needing with that? Maybe he wanted a new ring or something.

"...Yeah?"

"I need a ring."

"What kind?"

"A diamond ring, as big as you can get it."

"But Why?"

Heero simply answered,"I'm getting married."

Duo walked up to Hilde's flower shop, humming a tune to himself.

Even though he had acted like he hadn't cared what was going on, he was really puzzled of Heero's motives. What would he need flowers for? He wasn't dating anyone as of now. No Princess' were coming to the castle, and he surely didn't care that much for decoration.

Walking up to the door, he pushed it open. Listening to the chiming of the bell as it opened. Looking around, he wasn't surprised that Hilde wasn't at the Desk.

Walking through the back door he watched her in her garden, talking to her flowers like she usually did.

Her short hair pulled back with a bandanna, and her usual gloves on she pulled weeds,or watered them, or clipped dead leaves. She loved her job more than she was suppose to, Duo thought while leaning against the doorway.

Sneaking forward he was ready to scare her, when she once again began talking.

"I'm really not sure if he cares for me sometimes..I really hope he does, but he has a knack for flirting with other women."

Duo jumped behind a bunch of Begonias, just before she turned around. If she caught him now she would be mad because he was eavesdropping.

How could she think he didn't love her! He did with all his heart and soul. Walking back to the door, he opened it more loudly and heard her get up and walk to her desk.

With a smile she warmly greeted Duo.

"Yeah, I need some flowers for Heero."

"For Heero? What for?" Hilde asked in the same confused state as Duo.

"I dunno, but he wants them big and beautiful!"

"Who's the lucky lady?"

Duo's eyes flashed dangerously at this, making Hilde's spine tingle. Partly in embarrassment, mostly in anger. The ass thought he could just go out and flirt with every girl in town, then come back to her and get jealous when she complimented her ruler.

"Fine, I'll go get them." She said in a smart-ass tone, eyes flashing a challenge.

She was very surprised when Duo took her up on the challenge, walking forward her grabbed her shoulders and pulled her against him, before kissing her hungrily. The kiss wasn't long in standards, but it wasn't short either. Finally breaking away for air, she breathily said,"I'll get those flowers." Before wandering off dazedly.

Duo gave a wry chuckle.

He still had it.

Rei and Wufei walked down the road, towards town. They had decided to go there, mostly because that was where everyone lived.

Rei had kept her lips tight as they walked down the road, her angry vigil up. And Wufei just kept the same silence he always kept after a tantrum.

'She's so annoying', thought Wufei angrily.'Always wanting respect and then battering what you give her herself. Thinking she's always in charge, what crap!'

'He so stupid. Acting like he's got a corncob up his ass or something. Always so stiff,so....annoying!'' Thought Rei angrily, walking as fast as she could, without appearing to be trying to be ahead.

'He's so annoying!'

'She's so annoying!'

The thought hit them both at the same time, before they both sprang at each other.

Wufei's hands came to nestle in Rei's hair, before he began kissing her passionately. While Rei on the other hand, had wrapped her arm's around his shoulders and pulled herself even deeper into the kiss. Wufei pushed Rei back, and pinned her body against a tree with his.

All this time, they were unaware of all their surroundings, and a certain 'friend' coming near.

"Well...I didn't know you guys were so close!" The annoying person exclaimed smugly.

Rei and Wufei jumped apart quickly, both going to opposite sides of the road. They were as far apart as they could be without appearing suspicious, even though they knew they were caught anyway.

"No,No, don't let lil' ol' me break you up!"

"Shut up Duo!" Snapped Wufei angrily.

Why did he always have to show up at the worst times. Wufei was thinking miserably, while glaring at Duo.

Duo only raised his hands in the air, and bowed before mumbling something about 'King Wufei', and continuing on his way.

Wufei only snorted and looked at the ground while waiting for Duo to leave. When he was finally gone, he looked at Rei. She didn't seem mad, but then again she was like a firecracker one false move and...He shuddered at the thought.

The more he looked at her, the more he was sure she wasn't mad at him.

Rei was looking at the beautiful scenery, so was Wufei.(Which actually meant he was looking at Rei.)

Wufei watched her as her hair flew around her, battered around by the wind. Her face had a peaceful look to it as she watched as a deer lope through a field.

With a giggle she looked at him, and pointedly said,"You're staring."

Wufie's face flared as he quickly away,"No I 'm not!"

She shrugged and looked away, once again studying the scenery.

He once again looked at her fondly. She reminded him so much of Meiran, so vibrant, so.....full of life.

Closing his eyes and taking a deep breath he fought the urge to cry.

Meiran was his wife, from when he was younger. She had died and his family had discarded him, since he was of no use to them any longer. He hadn't been an heir or anything, so there really was no purpose in them keeping him. So when they had hit a rough time, he had been sold into slavery.

Rei, noticing his dream-like state, put a comforting hand on his arm. He looked fondly at her, she knew all about his past. She was the only one, besides Heero, of course.

He put a hand on Rei's before threading his fingers through hers.

Trowa and Ami cleaned the old room.

It hadn't been used since Heero's mother, and so it was covered in dust. That and had quite a few bugs in it, Ami thought with a shudder. Fluffing the pillow for the bed, Ami promptly threw it, hitting Trowa in the back of the head.

Trowa turned and threw it back, before throwing the rest at her. She giggled and once again got to work.

"Trowa? What do you think we're cleaning this for?"

"I dunno..Heero didn't say. Who knows, with him?"

Ami smiled. "You're right."

As Quatre was walking back into the castle, he heard a startling scream.

Running in there while holding his pocket, which is where he put the ring so that robbers couldn't get to it without him noticing, he towards the sound of the scream.

He ran up onto the fourth floor, where the screaming was still coming from.

He came to the door where it was coming from. It was Minako's room!

"There's no way in Hell!"

"You don't have a choice!"

"I'm Minako Aino! I always have a choice!" The last sentence was said with a conviction born only from spirited people.

Heero then threw the door open, before storming out. Turning quickly he shot Minako a venomous look and said," You will go to dinner, and you will marry me! Understand?"

Minako only folded her hands over her breast and said, "Try to make me."

"Oh I will, Mrs. Yuy.-" he said the last words with a pointed tone before continuing-"Oh, I will."

With that he shut and locked the door, leaving a very shocked Quatre alone. Well now he had figured it out. Quatre made no noise in leaving, but heard Minako scream a confirming scream of-

"I'm not going! There's no way in Holy Hell!"
