I'd like to apologize to my faithful readers. I probably made you 1x2 fans upset with Chapter 11. Just have a little faith in me; I promise it won't end up that way… I mean with Duo loving Yume for too long!

Chapter Twelve: Paint War

There was great confusion amongst the fan girls. Who should be the real Prince? Relena and the rest of Duo's fan girls stared down at the Yuki Fan Club.

"Duo was Prince first!" Relena argued.

"Maybe in the A division, but not in the B division like Yuki." The Yuki Fan Club looked smugly at the other girls.

Yume was in a rather foul mood this morning and it showed. "Why does it matter? They both look like girls." Yuki ignored this comment and Duo looked down, his chestnut bangs covering his eyes.

All of the fan girls gave Yume glares. "Shut up, Blue Bangs!"

"Now, now, girls." Poor, small, quiet homeroom teacher, Fujii, tried to quell the fighting. "May we stop arguing and get on with class?"

"NO!"

The intercom interrupted the fighting with a loud crackle. "Will Yume Midori of class KA-3 please come to the front office? Yume Midori." Another crackled signified the end of the message.

Yume rose from her seat and grabbed her bag. "I wonder who I pissed off this time?" She grumbled as she trekked out of the room.

The first hour bell rang, everyone filed out, and Duo went to his first hour class, which was Art 1.

"Now class," the nutcase art teacher, Ms. Dressman said in her weird accent. (A/N: Based on my real nutcase art teacher) "Clear off your surgery table so we can paint a beautiful portrait today."

The class, understanding that by surgery table she meant crappy and cruddy art table, set their stuff in the space under the tables.

"Now today, my children, I want you to put your heart and soul into your paintings today. You can start." Ms. Dressman sat at her desk and started talking to herself as if someone else was there.

Duo put on a paint apron so he wouldn't get his school uniform messy. Then he grabbed a paintbrush out of the can and some different colored paint. Everyone else around him started painting and would chat to their friends while he stared at the white paper.

"Maxwell! Next time I look at you, you better be working instead of staring off into La-la land!" Ms. Dressman snapped and jabbed a bony finger in Duo's direction.

Duo snapped out of his daze. "But it's only been a few minutes since you told us to start!" Duo said his excuse.

"Just work on your painting!" Ms. Dressman yelled. At this point the whole class was watching, some were even laughing.

"Whatever…" Duo muttered under his breath. He started painting something simple when another fight between fan girls broke out.

"Not again…" Yuki groaned.

Duo jumped when he realized the other rat was painting right next to him.

Ms. Dressman was completely oblivious to the argument at the next table from Duo but jerked her head to look at Duo. "Maxwell! Don't make me tell you to get to work again!"

Grinding his teeth, Duo lifted his dirty paintbrush and dragged it across the little painting he had started. The little house, tree, grass, and sky that he had painted now had a dirty brown line going from the top of the page to the bottom. Meanwhile, the shouting match continued to get louder. Other students were leaving their seats to form a circle around the girls to watch.

"Why don't you just go back to the B division where you came from, bitch?" Relena Peacecraft and Catherine Bloom shrieked.

"We're loyal servants to our Prince!" The president of the Yuki Fan Club shouted back. "Prince Yuki wanted to transfer so we followed!" The president fan girl snorted. "So much for being a pacifist, Relena!"

"That's it! You're in for it now, bitch!" Relena whipped around, accidentally whacking Duo in the head with her pink paint covered brush, and picked up a can of green paint.

The Yuki Fan Club gasped. "You wouldn't!"

Relena's mouth twisted into a hideous grin as she readied to launch the paint at the other girls. "Try me!" She threw the green paint and it splattered onto the Yuki Fan Club, who screamed.

Duo took the end of his apron and tried to wipe off the pink paint that was on his face off.

"Maxwell! I told you to paint something on the paper! Not on your face!" Ms. Dressman scowled.

Duo growled. "Look! It's not my damn fault! These stupid girls are the ones throwing the paint!" On cue, one of the Yuki fan girls threw yellow paint at Relena, Catherine, and the rest of Duo's groupies. In the process, they also splattered it on Duo's back and in his hair.

"Maxwell! Don't argue with me Mr.!" Ms. Dressman snarled, once again jabbing her bony finger at him.

The paint slinging fight continued in the background. "Ms. Dressman, it's not his fault." Yuki explained when purple paint was accidentally thrown onto him.

"It doesn't matter now, Mr. Sohma, he has no right to talk to me that way!" Ms. Dressman yelled at Yuki in a kinder tone… if that can be possible.

The girls were covered head to toe in paint but they had used up all their ammunition so Relena and the president of the Yuki Fan Club were tearing at each other with their harpy nails, biting with their fangs, and yanking on the other girls' hair.

"Maxwell!" Ms. Dressman screeched. "You have detention for making such a mess in my room!"

The catfight stopped as all the girls looked at Duo and Yuki.

Duo sighed in exasperation. "It's not my fault, damn it!"

"Get out of my room! I want you back here after school to clean up this mess!" Ms. Dressman ordered.

"Excuse me, Ms. Dressman, but the mess was caused by these girls that stand behind us." Yuki explained calmly.

"Maxwell! Peacecraft! Bloom! Sohma! Minagawa! All of you have detention! Now get out!"

The five of them trudged out silently. Yuki was disappointed that his trying to calm down the teacher had not worked. Duo and Yuki went into the boys locker room to change and get cleaned up.
