~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~Hotaru's room~
Yawning and stretching Hotaru sat up in bed, momentarily forgetting where she was, her eyes focused. Today was the day of site seeing and destroying those uniforms. Remembering what happened yesterday, she started to giggle * those goons had nothing on us* and than meeting the boys in the Winner mansion * they're not that bad.aie what am I thinking~?!* She slapped her forehead and got ready.
~Tora's room~
Rolling over on her side, Tora blinked a couple times to focus her eyes from sleep. Yawning and stretching like a cat, she looked around her room reminding herself of her new life. She smiled remembering the events that happened yesterday. Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, she made her way to the bathroom to get ready.
~Back to Hotaru's room~
She stepped out of her closet and sat at her antique vanity set to brush her satiny hair. After thoroughly brushing her hair, Hotaru put on hoop earrings and 5 silver bands on each wrist.
Standing up Hotaru made her way to the door, but not before stopping in front of her full-length mirror making sure she looked nice.
What stared back at her was a slim girl in leather pants, one-inch stiletto boots that laced up the front [like her boots in senshi form], tight purple spaghetti strap that showed most of her midriff. Over that she had on a puffy black vest to protect her from the elements.
He hair was put up in a messy bun with little hairs sticking out of the bun [rocker style] with two strands framing her face. She put on her waist bag [a thick belt that has a little pouch on it] and walked out the door of her large room, satisfied with her look.
~Same time in Tora's room~
Tora came out of her closet pulling her tank top over her head. Flipping her hair out of her shirt, she walked to the bathroom to brush out her thick mane. After French braiding her hair in tow pigtails, adorning her forehead with a black bandana, she stopped by her vanity table to pick up a pair of diamond studs and an earring cuff, also a watch with a thick red strap holding firm to her slim wrist. Looking into the full-length mirror, she checked over herself making sure everything was in place.
Today Tora had on white parachute pants with 'PASSION' in Japanese written down her right leg in black, white Cortez', and a dark red tube top showing off her midriff. Smirking, she walked down to the dinning room for breakfast.
Meeting Hotaru at the top of the stairs the two sisters walked into the dinning room. Not surprised of the site of an empty room, since their father loved sleeping in, they waited patiently for their breakfast. Both of them finished quite fast since neither of them eat much. They decided to get on their way.
"Where do you want to stop by first?" Asked Tora as they walked into their large garage, holding around 100 or so cars and bikes.
"I don't know, maybe the music store? I saw it on our way to the house, so we wont get lost." Hotaru said.
"Good idea. I wanted to go check out some new cd's that they didn't allow in the Juuban music store, darn those censors." Tora answered as they got in a black Porsche Boxter.
Speeding through the drive way and out the black metallic gates, they failed to notice a set of jade eyes following their fast disappearing car.
++++++++++flashback+++++++++++++
Trowa had woken early to take a walk through the mansion grounds. As usual Hiiro was awake practicing his shooting, perfecting what was already perfect, while Wufei was doing one of his many ancient katas. Quatre and Duo were still sleeping, tired out from business and causing mayhem.
Breathing in the cool crisp morning air, Trowa zipped up his gray Puma hoody and started to jog through one of the many scenic garden trails. He loved to do this in the mornings because it gave him a sense of peace and time to sort out his thoughts. After meeting the girls yesterday, he would be jogging for a while.
They seemed so distant and dark, as if a cloud hung over them. But instead of scaring or repelling him (plus he doesn't get scarred), their aura drew him in ever more. They were beautiful, to say the least, more like a mythical type of beautiful, almost unreal [an: remember they're 1/3 vampire].
The way they moved, like felines, with a cheetah's swiftness, a panther's nimbleness, and a tiger's silent stalk. So graceful and fluid but strong and sturdy.
They were confusing, you couldn't label them anything and that annoyed him.
Trowa began to run now, working off the frustration, going merely 15 mph. Weaving through the trees, he skidded to a stop at the 30-foot walk that separated the Winner Mansion from the world. Jumping up with ease, he took in the scenery of the now occupied house across the street.
The sun highlighting half of his charming face and hair making him look regal. He caught a glimpse of something winding down the driveway of the Jigoku residence, waking him up from his daydream. The gates opened and out sped the two maidens who have been plaguing his mind the past hour.
* Speak of the devil...or.devils * he mused, watching them disappear.
Then an idea struck him and he smiled. Jumping down from the wall and landing with expertise, started to jog back to the mansion.
* Maybe I can get some of my questions answered after all*
Inside the house Duo had decided to pick on Quatre, for a change, and see how the youngest boy would react. What he got was unexpected.
"Duo what did you do to my office~!!!" Quatre boomed.
Duo's eyes widened a considerable amount.
* uh oh.maybe feeding his copy machine and making his shredder spit up confetti wasn't a good idea.* the braided shinigami thought, sweat drop forming as he tried to hide behind an expensive vase.
"DUO~!! Where are you~!! I am going to cut off that precious braid of yours with a letter opener and eat it with soba~!!" Thinking up masterful techniques on how to torture the poor soul, he let out a wicked laugh. "MUAHAHAHAH MUAHAHAH~!!"
Duo 'eeped' and made a run for it knocking over the imported vase.
Trowa walked in through the front door, as Duo ran passed him, he saw Quatre with a crazed gleam in his eye, Trowa knew what had happened. Calmly putting up a hand to stop Quatre.
"Nani? Get out of my way Trowa~!!"
"..." giving a warning look at his friend.
"Fine, fine, I get the idea.." Quatre said letting his crossbow drag on the floor. "I'll get that baka-yaro later." He mumbled under his breath sulking away.
"Wow thanks Trowa-man, I owe you one." Said a relief stricken Duo patting Trowa on the shoulder.
"Don't touch me." Was the cold reply of the silent green-eyed man.
"Ayeesh~!! Sheesh Trowa, loosen up. I'm an ally.A-L-L-Y."
Trowa just brushed him off. "Get everybody in here. I have something to say." Trowa called over his shoulder making his way to the couch.
* He wants to talk~?! O_O*
"What do you want Barton?"
"Hai, what is it Trowa?" snapped Hiiro.
*Kuso.I don't even know why I wanted to go after those girls. Hurry think o something...think think * Trowa berated himself.
"Umm.I think we should get out of the house today. There's something going on in town." He said getting uneasy.
"You interrupted us to say that?" Wufei barked.
"What's so important about going into town today Trowa?" Quatre inquired.
"Um.erm." starting to sweat. Duo saw his uneasiness and knew what Trowa was thinking. * the girls.he wants to see the girls* Thought Duo, smiling on the inside. [ Duo's not dumb here, he's pretty observant]
"Yea I agree with Trowa, we should get out before school starts and our night jobs start picking up again. Who knows how long we'll be cooped up inside." Duo said, covering for Trowa. Trowa and Duo shared a glance, saying his thanks. But wasn't missed by the ever so watchful Hiiro.
*What are those two up too? And Trowa, siding with Duo? There's something wrong about this picture. Better find out what.* "Yes, lets go." Was the quick response from Hiiro before said man stalked to the garage
"Fine we're going.not like we have a choice with Yui's stubbornness." With that Wufei walked down the long hall to the garage. Net went Quatre with an exasperated sigh. Which left Trowa and Duo.
Trowa got up from his seat on the couch and started to turn into the hall, when a hand stopped him, Duo's hand. Raising an eyebrow at the mischievous purple eyed boy, * oh...noo..* he thought.
"So.going into town eh? Get out of the house eh? Would there happen to be two beautiful girls in town today.Trowa?" Duo asked knowing the answer already nudging Trowa in the side.
"Get out of my way Duo." Grumbled Trowa.
"Sure, no problem. But if you keep denying it, it only gets more confusing." Duo yelled out to the retreating form of his embarrassed comrade.
Shaking his head at his friend's stubbornness, Duo made his way to the garage as well. * hMm maybe I could get them together bweehehehe*
When Duo arrived, Hiiro was getting on his all black VRSCA Harley V- rod, which gleamed gray-black when the sun hit it. There were metallic navy hieroglyphics on the side of the bike. It was a lean motorcycle made for all terrain and speed and boy did he love it. And with his modification, he could be driving 250 + mph in a pitch black forest, as if it was a straight track in broad daylight.
Wufei was in his white Celica GT with built in turbo, NOS and other alterations to his liking. Tinted windows blocked the view of an over annoyed Chinese scholar. On his bumper were the same hieroglyphics but in metallic red and the last symbol was replaced by another one.
Trowa was putting on his helmet and saddling his Ducati Multistrada. His bike was black with a tint of green. Vertical on the gas tank of the bike were the same hieroglyphics, but again, another symbol replaced the last one, written in toffee colored metal. Trowa's bike was much sleeker in style than Hiiro's Harley and quieter as well. And like the other boys, he had a thing for speed. Revving up his engine, signaling he was ready and anxious. Quatre and Duo hurried to get into Quatre's pimping Eclipse. This one was dark silver, the same hieroglyphics in gold ran vertically on the hood of the car. Quatre had also fixed up his car, faster, louder, over all better. Didn't look like his style.? You were mistaken.
Driving out the garage, they made their way to town.
~Girls~
Finding Tower Records wasn't' as hard as they thought since the store took up almost half a block, large sign and strobe lights decorated the outside of the huge store. Parking their car, the two girls walked through the automatic doors. A rush of cool air brushed through their hair. Loud techno music blasted through the speakers placed around the store.
The two girls smiled happily, liking the atmosphere of this new city so far. Not like their old town, where the idea of fun would be waling in the park with your dog-named Bob.
Deciding to meet back at the video section, Hotaru and Tora went to their favorite music sections.
~outside~
Trowa was the front of the line, trying to spot the girls. * it shouldn't be hard, one has purple hair and the other vivid red~! * Instead he spotted a black BMW Porsche Boxter and recognized it as the girls car, well one of them.
Trowa signaled to pull over and park in front of Tower Records, where the BMW was. Taking off his helmet, Trowa called over his shoulder.
"Lets take a look in here." "Yea, I want to pick up a new cd too." Duo said, making I seem natural. He two recognized the car and their perfume [the parked in front and in back, so they could smell it].
Going in, Quatre went to the classical section, Duo to rap, Hiiro headed for the hard-rock section [ u know all that pent up anger], and Trowa to alternative. [haha k-razee] You could hear Duo rapping to P. Diddy in the background.
~Hotaru~
A bright eyed teen had big headphones on sampling " AC 197: Classical Techno" her hips swaying slightly and feet moving to the heavy beat. This little movement caught the attention of the many young men who some how stayed in the same aisle for over an hour, watching this purple haired otome.
Taking off the headphones, * hMm.AC 197: CT is pretty good. I might just buy it.* Hotaru thought, not paying attention to where she was going Hotaru started to turn around but ran into something firm..but...fleshy? * what the.* looking up she saw a white T-shirt covered in a denim jacket, than broad shoulders, a nice lean neck, and last her curious plum eyes met green amused orbs.
"oOo gomen nasai Trowa-san. I wasn't paying attention."
"Its fine Hotaru-san. So you remembered my name..?" with a mock astonished look.
"Don't be so surprised. I wouldn't have recognized you if it weren't for you bangs. And Please call me Hotaru." She said smirking and flicking his bangs lightly with her forefinger.
Blushing Trowa realized something and voiced his inspection.
"As long as you call me Trowa. And you do realized you are the only female in this section, and I think you have drawn quite a crowd, and I doubt they're here for the cd's." He whispered into her ear, causing her to quiver with his charming voice.
Hotaru slowly looked over her shoulder to find that the she was the only girl and the guys were looking at her with blushes staining their cheeks as they were caught staring.at..her.? They all tried to look like they were busy, going through cd's and things. One 'clever' guy was holding his cd upside down.
Hotaru quickly turned around blushing and wide-eyed.
"What are you trying to do, hide in my shirt?" Trowa said chuckling.
Hotaru was currently covering her face with a part of his white T- shirt.
"mMmhMm." Hotaru said nodding.
Which caused Trowa to laugh slightly. His handsome voice startled Hotaru, her head snapped up looking at him. He was looking down at her, smiling slightly. "Yes, I know. I don't seem like the type to laugh. But for you..its different," his eyes softening, surprising Hotaru and himself.
Realizing they were still inches from each other, they jumped apart, a light pink staining their cheeks. "So.what are you doing here?" Hotaru asked, trying to cover her discomfort. * Why am I so flustered~?! Argh~!! He's just a freakin' guy~!! *
*So dana.*
~*flashback*~
Trowa was strolling in Tower Records, going to his section, thinking about the sisters. * What is it about those two? *
He was still brewing over the girls when he turned the corner, he stopped dead in his tracks. All the guys' heads were turned to one single person, a violet haired girl who was swaying slightly enticing the drooling hentais more.
Recognizing the girl as one of the twins his eyes darkened slightly.
* Just my luck. *
He stood there watching, to see what she would do. Hotaru started to step a little dancing to the music causing puddles of drool to form at the hentai's feet. Trowa narrowed his eyes at the men, a feeling of protection coming over him, for who knows what reason, he sure doesn't. Trowa slowly walked towards Hotaru, receiving glares from foolish boys who didn't know who he was. As he reached her, Hotaru turned around suddenly bumped into him. Struggling not to laugh at how she stayed frozen shocked for more than was needed, at bumping into someone.*kawaii.huh~?! Nani~?! What in the world am I thinking...gah~!*
~end flashback~
"Hello? Any one there?" Waving her slender hand in front of Trowa's blank stare.
Blinking, coming back to reality. "Oh...gomen nasai. Um.I'm here with the other boys looking for cd's." Proud of his excuse. "Really? They're all here?" Trowa nodded a yes. "Oh can we meet with them?"
A little disappointed at the slim chance of having his questions answered ( or was it jealousy ?), he reluctantly led Hotaru to where the majority of the guys were. But taking the long way around [ hehehe sneaky sneaky].
~Tora~
We find Tora flipping through the racks of cd's, looking for P.O.D. Classics and Thousand Foot Crutch Relics. Tora glanced at her sides noticing a presence beside her. * ::sigh:: boys, what a pity. * They have been fluttering around her and this aisle, thinking she wouldn't notice when a guy makes rounds 20 times. * psh.yea right.*
Picking up P.O.D., she went to scan the barcode to sample it. * Unless they bug me, I won't bug them*
Tora put on the headphones and began to bob her head to the music, forgetting the world around her.
A couple minutes later, a messy brown haired young man walked into the same aisle, a little miffed about all the people. Walking in grudgingly, he looked for some music; ignoring the other boys.
"Hey.look at her.the one over there." "Whoa.what a heart attack. She's a babe" whispered some guys.
Hiiro's curiousness got the better of him, looked to see what was causing all the commotion. His eyes widened slightly recognizing the blood red hair. She was ignorant of the guys talking about her, or so it seemed.
The girl turned around looking satisfied with the cd walked towards Hiiro's direction.
"Hey girly." a cocky Ken doll look-a-like said, pinching Tora's butt as she passed.
Hiiro's features darkened, not liking the ideas of the guy, any guy treating the tenshi. * The hell~?! What am I thinking? *
Tora walked up to the boy seductively, swaying her hips and twirling a strand of hair around her finger.
"Hey big-boy.." she said in a sexy tone. The Ken doll look-a-like grinned blushing with her forwardness while Hiiro furrowed his brows * what is she doing?*
Tora smiled sweetly batting her eyelashes.than it dropped into a smirk and her eyes narrowed darkly. With inhuman speed she grabbed the hand that violated her with surprising strength. The guy groaned and grunted in pain.
"What gave you the idea you cold touch me? Or any girl like that?" "N-n-no-nobody.." he stuttered "Touch any girl with disrespect again, I'll break something other than your fingers." Tora said glanced at his ahem.
Ken doll look-a-like's eyes widened in fear. "H-h-hai hai.gomen nasai~!"
Tora let go of his hand and watched him run out of the store like a jet.
The remaining guys looked at her in fear and the boys with thick sculls looked on in interest. Before.slowly looking over her shoulder, eyes downcast, they popped open in a warning glare, flashed red.
Gasps were heard from all the boys in the aisle but one. Al you could hear were feet scampering out the door.
Tora sighed and put back her cd, not noticing the lone boy.
She reached for Thousand Foot Crutch Relic, but another hand grabbed it. Tora looked up the slender but muscular arm and was met with a hard stare from prussian blue eyes. Hiiro was wearing navy jeans and a black tank top. Over that he had a leather biker jacket with the collar flipped up and his one piece of jewelry.
"HmM.I thought all you guys left." "Hn.I'm not one of those guys." Hiiro answered
Both hands were still on the cd. Hiiro looked expectantly at Tora.she didn't budge, he glared.she raised an eyebrow.
"Let go." he stated curtly
'It's a dog eat dog world out there.get use to it." Tora replied coolly
Hiiro glared harsher.
"Fine fine.your such a baby.Hirro." Tora said letting go and walking passed him. His eyes went blank * she remembers who I am? * her hair swished behind her and slightly skimmed his cheek and the back of his neck, bringing out her sent. * silk.chocolate * he thought as he closed his eyes, taking in the alluring aroma. * Gotta stop her *
"Are you going to buy that cd you were listening to?" He caught himself saying * What am I doing? Anything to keep her close. Chikusho~! Well.can't take it back now* Hiiro reasoned.
"Naw. I didn't bring any money with me. Hotaru and I were just getting acquainted with Sanq." Tora said a little disappointed that she wont be able to purchase her long expected cd.
Hiiro walked over swiftly to the cd Tora had put down a couple minutes ago and picked it up and placed it between his arm and side as he stuffed his hands deep inside his pockets. Tora looked at him questioningly but Hiiro's eyes were downcast, as if he was walking with his eyes closed. He walked somewhat passed Tora but stopped.
"Come on." he said quietly motioning with his head to the cashiers.
Tora's eyes widened, completely shocked with this boys actions. Not only was he a boy and was being nice but this was the detached man she had met yesterday. Confused, she nodded slowly and followed close behind him, still weary of what his motives were.
As they walked in silence, both confused, Quatre strolled out of his classical section and spotted the two. *Kawaii, they look good together. But there's something wrong with this picture.Tora shouldn't be following Hiiro, and they are both confused with.Hiiro's actions?* He thought, wondering what had happened. Quatre met up with them and.
"Konnichiwa~! Hiiro, Tora~!" he called out, dropping the formalities, knowing the Jigoku sisters didn't like it.
Tora smiled sweetly and a bit surprised to see Quatre as well, " Hello Quatre, its nice to see you again."
"It's nice to see you too. What, may I ask are you doing here?" "The same as you, I propose, looking for some music?" Tora said eyes twinkling with mirth as Quatre blushed a slight pink. Hiiro didn't like seeing Tora smile like that, to Quatre, or any one. * He made her smile.* he looked on grimly. * psh.what do I care? I don't care.for anything.or..anyone. *
"Well, the others are here as well, and I would be happy to escort you around Sanq Kingdom. If that is alright with you and your sister." Quatre suggested, politely. This drew Hiiro back to reality, not knowing how long he had spaced out.
"Nani? Really? You would do that? Wow arigato Quatre, that would be great." Tora said happily, relieved that the possibilities of getting lost were slim with an escort.
Hiiro glared at Quatre. * What is he doing? This is NOT going to help my situation at all. Kuso, Quatre can be too nice.* Quatre sensed this, and glanced at Hiiro, sending him an 'it's ok' look. Hiiro just rolled his eyes.
They made their way to where the rest of the gang would be meeting, and was surprised to see Hotaru there as well. Duo spotted them in the corner of his eyes as he was talking with Hotaru, whose cheeks were barely pink and Trowa glaring at the grinning teen.
*hm.what happened here? * Hiiro questioned.
"Hey guys~! Hey Tora~!" Duo said waving dramatically.
"Hey Duo"
"Hi, nice to see you all again."
"Hn." [ ^__^;; ]
"We are going to escort the Jigoku sisters around town today so they can have a better feel for this city." Quatre said happily, glad he could be of some service.
* What? Oh Kuso.well, I can spend more time with Hotaru so I can get answers to the rest of my questions. * Trowa thought rationally, not admitting he had no more questions and was using that as a lame excuse. He sent a look at Hiiro, blaming it on him for letting Quatre suggest the idea, and all Hirro did was roll his eyes.
"Nani? I am NOT wasting my time with weak onna's." Wufei scoffed, sticking his nose up in the air.
"Who said you had to come. We wouldn't want an arrogant boorish guy with us anyways." Hotaru said, surprising the people around her, except Tora.
"Naw.Wu-man is coming, he needs it." Duo said, grinning.
"Well than, it's best we be getting on our way than." Trowa said, leading Hotaru out the door. * haha...way to go Trowa. * Duo thought. They started to walk when.
"Meet me outside." Hirro said walking off in another direction.
"What are you doing Yui?" Wufei questioned, annoyed.
"I'm going to buy something." Tora walked off with Hiiro, following close behind, wanting to thank him alone.
* hmm.is there another job for cupid Duo to accomplish? * Duo grinned, walking out the door
~five minutes later~
"Arigato Hiiro. You didn't have to buy this." Tora said as they walked out the sliding doors.
"I know." Hiiro answered quietly.
*maybe he does have a heart.and maybe I do to.*
They walked up to Quatre's eclipse. Duo and him were inside making small talk with Hotaru who was standing by Trowa who was leaning on the driver's door, Wufei was standing off to the side looking bored.
"Good you two are out. Hotaru is going with Trowa and Tora with Hiiro on their bikes. I don't think it is wise for them to sit with Wufei." Quatre said.
"Okay~! That's sounds great-just follow us~!" Duo yelled as Quatre's window closed not allowing any protests.
"::sigh:: I guess I'm with you Hiiro, which one is your bike?"
"Over here." Hiiro said walking over to his VRSCA V-rod and pulling out an extra helmet stashed under his seat.
Tora's eyes went wide and her mouth was set in a delicate 'O'. "This. is your bike?" Tora asked totally amazed at the beautiful machine "It's gorgeous."
"You like bikes?" Hiiro questioned truly curious this time.
"I love them." Tora answer dreamily as she moved her hand across the cool metal of the bike. Hiiro smirked * this girl is interesting* he thought as he put on his helmet and held out the extra one for Tora.
"Oh. thank you." The slipped on the black helmet and climbed on the back of the bike behind Hiiro. * What do I do now? I don't know him that well, so it will be strange to put my arms around him, but I'll fall off if I don't. *
"Hang onto me." Hiiro said over his shoulder, causing Tora to relax. Tora slipped her arms around Hiiro's stomach slightly. Feeling his six pack under his thin black tank top * whoa.someone works out. *
As her arms touched his skin. Hiiro felt warmer and.content with the world. He was enjoying her being close to him.
"Hold on tight." He mumbled, " I like speed." He added seeing her questioning look. * and this feeling.*
Tora tightened her arms around him, her heart racing at the anticipation of a fast ride. Hiiro wasn't the only one that liked speed.
"Here's your helmet Hotaru"
"Thank you." Hotaru said, putting it on and clasping the cuff. " You have a nice bike, my dad was thinking of buying one." She added as Trowa got on his bike.
"You have bikes? I don't know many girls who actually like motorcycles, or anything fast at that."
"Well, I'm not like most girls." * noOo waay.*
* You got that right. *
Trowa held out his hand to help Hotaru up, since his bike was made for his height, and she was a little on the petite side. "Now hold on tight, you don't want to fall off now do you?" Trowa asked jokingly.
"You wouldn't let me fall off, would you?" Hotaru asked looking up at him pretending to be worried.
"Of course not. But hold on, because I go fast."
Hotaru wrapped her slender arms around his toned abdomen and blushed slightly. Feeling Hotaru's arms around him, Trowa blushed as well, knowing how close she was. * oh maan..* he groaned in his head, how long will he have to go through this torture today.and such sweet torture.
Quatre drove into the street and headed to the north side of the city, Wufei following in his Celica. Trowa went next, making sure not to start up too fast, so as to not catch Hotaru off guard. Hiiro was last, with Tora. Now Hiiro didn't care that much so he just went, as a result Tora 'eeped' ( uncharacteristically) and tightened her grip. Hiiro looked down at her slender arms while blushing a little [oh my.he blushed hehe ] but kept up the speed.
As they drove, Tora loosened her grip, getting used to the speed ( 100 mph) rather quickly and took in her surroundings. * wow.this place is beautiful*
Hotaru was looking around here and there, impressed with Sanq Kingdom and pointed to the places she wanted to know about. Trowa answering her questions and telling all he knew about the places as they drove.
~six hours later, 8:00 pm, Jigoku mansion~
Hotaru and Tora flopped down on their couch a little winded from the numerous hours of driving around.
They had spent most of their day on the back of the bikes and going all around the city. The two groups had gotten to know each other throughout the day, eating lunch and dinner, and just driving around.
"::sigh:: That was really nice of Quatre offering to escort us around." Tora said sitting up.
"Hai, it was. And of the boys too, complying with Quatre. Sanq Kingdom is beautiful, a balance of technology and country, just like otou- san said."
"What do you think of the guys?"
"No, don't even go there Tora. You know we can't afford getting involved." Hotaru said in a stern tone.
"I didn't say that. I was just wondering what your opinion of them was. Goodness.what's going on in your mind Hota-chan?" Smirking and raising an eyebrow at her now blushing sister.
"Nothing, nothing at all. ::cough::cough:: Um. I guess they are pretty nice, polite enough to show us around that is."
"Yes, that's true. But some of them are hard to figure out. Take Hiiro he's nice one second than distant the next. It bothersome."
"Yea. Trowa is like that too, but he seems to be more open, after today."
"And they seem to be holding a secret.something dark.I can see it in their eyes."
"I saw it too. Even Quatre. But they are not the only ones holding a dark secret Tora-chan, so we have no right to judge them."
They sat thinking of their day, and what the boys next door were hiding.
~Winner mansion, exact same time~
"WOW that was so much fun~! We should spend more time with Hotaru and Tora." Duo exclaimed stretching and falling onto the couch.
"Yes, they are really nice people. I'm glad we will be seeing them tomorrow." [ do I really need to tell you who said that?]
"I can't believe I need to see those two onnas again, this is ridiculous~!" Wufei growled as he stomped off up stairs to his room.
"Did you two have fun today? Hiiro? Trowa?" Duo asked wondering what they thought of the two.
Hiiro and Trowa looked off in space as they thought of their day. The more they spent time with those two the weirder they felt. They couldn't place what it was.so it was weird.
After a minute, the two nodded almost unnoticed and left to their rooms. Duo and Quatre smiled at each other, happy with their friend's progress.
"OH yea ~! Before I forget, we are going to carpool with them for school. Kazeki-san, Hotaru and Tora's father, works early and it would save gas money~!!" Quatre announced.
You could hear a door slam and an 'Injustice~!' and if you listened carefully enough, a groan and a grunt.
Duo went off to get some candy while Quatre went to the music room.
~music room~
Taking out his violin and bow, Quatre started to play a ballad.
*They are truly nice girls.but now and than I could sense uneasiness, fear, and a...darkness from them. Uneasiness I could understand, because we were strangers. Fear.what would they be afraid of? Us? Or something else.? Than that darkness.where would that be coming from? Another thing.I feel drawn to them.but I shouldn't. Trowa and Hiiro are clearly interested in them even though they don't realize it. I wonder.with this new addition in our lives.what does the future hold. *
~back to Jigoku mansion~
The two girls were now in the second main room with cloth, string, paper with scribbles of designs and uniform pieces everywhere. There are two sewing machines on the tea table where two busy girls were working vigorously.
They had decided to attack the revolting uniforms after dinner with their father, who was currently reading a book in his study room. They drew some designs and started to work right after; helping each other with measurements and such.
By tomorrow they would have all their uniforms changed to their liking, hopefully.
When they finished it was 11 and they were fatigued, so they headed off to bed after washing up and changing.
Tomorrow was the first day of senior year, in a new school. They wanted to make a good impression. Also they didn't want to be late since they were carpooling with the boys tomorrow. First day of school = boys driving first.
They still had no word from Setsuna, Michiru, or Haruka. Knowing they were more than capable of taking care of themselves, they still wanted to hear from them, wondering what they were up to.
~Winner Mansion~
Some were excited, others could care less about the first day of school. And than some were brooding over evil plans to annoy the other people of the house.
All in all things were going well, all was forgotten, all was forgiven, all was well.
The trees swayed in the wind of the night carrying with it seeds of joy and life.and another tomorrow

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
~Hotaru's room~
Yawning and stretching Hotaru sat up in bed, momentarily forgetting where she was, her eyes focused. Today was the day of site seeing and destroying those uniforms. Remembering what happened yesterday, she started to giggle * those goons had nothing on us* and than meeting the boys in the Winner mansion * they're not that bad.aie what am I thinking~?!* She slapped her forehead and got ready.
~Tora's room~
Rolling over on her side, Tora blinked a couple times to focus her eyes from sleep. Yawning and stretching like a cat, she looked around her room reminding herself of her new life. She smiled remembering the events that happened yesterday. Swinging her legs over the side of the bed, she made her way to the bathroom to get ready.
~Back to Hotaru's room~
She stepped out of her closet and sat at her antique vanity set to brush her satiny hair. After thoroughly brushing her hair, Hotaru put on hoop earrings and 5 silver bands on each wrist.
Standing up Hotaru made her way to the door, but not before stopping in front of her full-length mirror making sure she looked nice.
What stared back at her was a slim girl in leather pants, one-inch stiletto boots that laced up the front [like her boots in senshi form], tight purple spaghetti strap that showed most of her midriff. Over that she had on a puffy black vest to protect her from the elements.
He hair was put up in a messy bun with little hairs sticking out of the bun [rocker style] with two strands framing her face. She put on her waist bag [a thick belt that has a little pouch on it] and walked out the door of her large room, satisfied with her look.
~Same time in Tora's room~
Tora came out of her closet pulling her tank top over her head. Flipping her hair out of her shirt, she walked to the bathroom to brush out her thick mane. After French braiding her hair in tow pigtails, adorning her forehead with a black bandana, she stopped by her vanity table to pick up a pair of diamond studs and an earring cuff, also a watch with a thick red strap holding firm to her slim wrist. Looking into the full-length mirror, she checked over herself making sure everything was in place.
Today Tora had on white parachute pants with 'PASSION' in Japanese written down her right leg in black, white Cortez', and a dark red tube top showing off her midriff. Smirking, she walked down to the dinning room for breakfast.
Meeting Hotaru at the top of the stairs the two sisters walked into the dinning room. Not surprised of the site of an empty room, since their father loved sleeping in, they waited patiently for their breakfast. Both of them finished quite fast since neither of them eat much. They decided to get on their way.
"Where do you want to stop by first?" Asked Tora as they walked into their large garage, holding around 100 or so cars and bikes.
"I don't know, maybe the music store? I saw it on our way to the house, so we wont get lost." Hotaru said.
"Good idea. I wanted to go check out some new cd's that they didn't allow in the Juuban music store, darn those censors." Tora answered as they got in a black Porsche Boxter.
Speeding through the drive way and out the black metallic gates, they failed to notice a set of jade eyes following their fast disappearing car.
++++++++++flashback+++++++++++++
Trowa had woken early to take a walk through the mansion grounds. As usual Hiiro was awake practicing his shooting, perfecting what was already perfect, while Wufei was doing one of his many ancient katas. Quatre and Duo were still sleeping, tired out from business and causing mayhem.
Breathing in the cool crisp morning air, Trowa zipped up his gray Puma hoody and started to jog through one of the many scenic garden trails. He loved to do this in the mornings because it gave him a sense of peace and time to sort out his thoughts. After meeting the girls yesterday, he would be jogging for a while.
They seemed so distant and dark, as if a cloud hung over them. But instead of scaring or repelling him (plus he doesn't get scarred), their aura drew him in ever more. They were beautiful, to say the least, more like a mythical type of beautiful, almost unreal [an: remember they're 1/3 vampire].
The way they moved, like felines, with a cheetah's swiftness, a panther's nimbleness, and a tiger's silent stalk. So graceful and fluid but strong and sturdy.
They were confusing, you couldn't label them anything and that annoyed him.
Trowa began to run now, working off the frustration, going merely 15 mph. Weaving through the trees, he skidded to a stop at the 30-foot walk that separated the Winner Mansion from the world. Jumping up with ease, he took in the scenery of the now occupied house across the street.
The sun highlighting half of his charming face and hair making him look regal. He caught a glimpse of something winding down the driveway of the Jigoku residence, waking him up from his daydream. The gates opened and out sped the two maidens who have been plaguing his mind the past hour.
* Speak of the devil...or.devils * he mused, watching them disappear.
Then an idea struck him and he smiled. Jumping down from the wall and landing with expertise, started to jog back to the mansion.
* Maybe I can get some of my questions answered after all*
Inside the house Duo had decided to pick on Quatre, for a change, and see how the youngest boy would react. What he got was unexpected.
"Duo what did you do to my office~!!!" Quatre boomed.
Duo's eyes widened a considerable amount.
* uh oh.maybe feeding his copy machine and making his shredder spit up confetti wasn't a good idea.* the braided shinigami thought, sweat drop forming as he tried to hide behind an expensive vase.
"DUO~!! Where are you~!! I am going to cut off that precious braid of yours with a letter opener and eat it with soba~!!" Thinking up masterful techniques on how to torture the poor soul, he let out a wicked laugh. "MUAHAHAHAH MUAHAHAH~!!"
Duo 'eeped' and made a run for it knocking over the imported vase.
Trowa walked in through the front door, as Duo ran passed him, he saw Quatre with a crazed gleam in his eye, Trowa knew what had happened. Calmly putting up a hand to stop Quatre.
"Nani? Get out of my way Trowa~!!"
"..." giving a warning look at his friend.
"Fine, fine, I get the idea.." Quatre said letting his crossbow drag on the floor. "I'll get that baka-yaro later." He mumbled under his breath sulking away.
"Wow thanks Trowa-man, I owe you one." Said a relief stricken Duo patting Trowa on the shoulder.
"Don't touch me." Was the cold reply of the silent green-eyed man.
"Ayeesh~!! Sheesh Trowa, loosen up. I'm an ally.A-L-L-Y."
Trowa just brushed him off. "Get everybody in here. I have something to say." Trowa called over his shoulder making his way to the couch.
* He wants to talk~?! O_O*
"What do you want Barton?"
"Hai, what is it Trowa?" snapped Hiiro.
*Kuso.I don't even know why I wanted to go after those girls. Hurry think o something...think think * Trowa berated himself.
"Umm.I think we should get out of the house today. There's something going on in town." He said getting uneasy.
"You interrupted us to say that?" Wufei barked.
"What's so important about going into town today Trowa?" Quatre inquired.
"Um.erm." starting to sweat. Duo saw his uneasiness and knew what Trowa was thinking. * the girls.he wants to see the girls* Thought Duo, smiling on the inside. [ Duo's not dumb here, he's pretty observant]
"Yea I agree with Trowa, we should get out before school starts and our night jobs start picking up again. Who knows how long we'll be cooped up inside." Duo said, covering for Trowa. Trowa and Duo shared a glance, saying his thanks. But wasn't missed by the ever so watchful Hiiro.
*What are those two up too? And Trowa, siding with Duo? There's something wrong about this picture. Better find out what.* "Yes, lets go." Was the quick response from Hiiro before said man stalked to the garage
"Fine we're going.not like we have a choice with Yui's stubbornness." With that Wufei walked down the long hall to the garage. Net went Quatre with an exasperated sigh. Which left Trowa and Duo.
Trowa got up from his seat on the couch and started to turn into the hall, when a hand stopped him, Duo's hand. Raising an eyebrow at the mischievous purple eyed boy, * oh...noo..* he thought.
"So.going into town eh? Get out of the house eh? Would there happen to be two beautiful girls in town today.Trowa?" Duo asked knowing the answer already nudging Trowa in the side.
"Get out of my way Duo." Grumbled Trowa.
"Sure, no problem. But if you keep denying it, it only gets more confusing." Duo yelled out to the retreating form of his embarrassed comrade.
Shaking his head at his friend's stubbornness, Duo made his way to the garage as well. * hMm maybe I could get them together bweehehehe*
When Duo arrived, Hiiro was getting on his all black VRSCA Harley V- rod, which gleamed gray-black when the sun hit it. There were metallic navy hieroglyphics on the side of the bike. It was a lean motorcycle made for all terrain and speed and boy did he love it. And with his modification, he could be driving 250 + mph in a pitch black forest, as if it was a straight track in broad daylight.
Wufei was in his white Celica GT with built in turbo, NOS and other alterations to his liking. Tinted windows blocked the view of an over annoyed Chinese scholar. On his bumper were the same hieroglyphics but in metallic red and the last symbol was replaced by another one.
Trowa was putting on his helmet and saddling his Ducati Multistrada. His bike was black with a tint of green. Vertical on the gas tank of the bike were the same hieroglyphics, but again, another symbol replaced the last one, written in toffee colored metal. Trowa's bike was much sleeker in style than Hiiro's Harley and quieter as well. And like the other boys, he had a thing for speed. Revving up his engine, signaling he was ready and anxious. Quatre and Duo hurried to get into Quatre's pimping Eclipse. This one was dark silver, the same hieroglyphics in gold ran vertically on the hood of the car. Quatre had also fixed up his car, faster, louder, over all better. Didn't look like his style.? You were mistaken.
Driving out the garage, they made their way to town.
~Girls~
Finding Tower Records wasn't' as hard as they thought since the store took up almost half a block, large sign and strobe lights decorated the outside of the huge store. Parking their car, the two girls walked through the automatic doors. A rush of cool air brushed through their hair. Loud techno music blasted through the speakers placed around the store.
The two girls smiled happily, liking the atmosphere of this new city so far. Not like their old town, where the idea of fun would be waling in the park with your dog-named Bob.
Deciding to meet back at the video section, Hotaru and Tora went to their favorite music sections.
~outside~
Trowa was the front of the line, trying to spot the girls. * it shouldn't be hard, one has purple hair and the other vivid red~! * Instead he spotted a black BMW Porsche Boxter and recognized it as the girls car, well one of them.
Trowa signaled to pull over and park in front of Tower Records, where the BMW was. Taking off his helmet, Trowa called over his shoulder.
"Lets take a look in here." "Yea, I want to pick up a new cd too." Duo said, making I seem natural. He two recognized the car and their perfume [the parked in front and in back, so they could smell it].
Going in, Quatre went to the classical section, Duo to rap, Hiiro headed for the hard-rock section [ u know all that pent up anger], and Trowa to alternative. [haha k-razee] You could hear Duo rapping to P. Diddy in the background.
~Hotaru~
A bright eyed teen had big headphones on sampling " AC 197: Classical Techno" her hips swaying slightly and feet moving to the heavy beat. This little movement caught the attention of the many young men who some how stayed in the same aisle for over an hour, watching this purple haired otome.
Taking off the headphones, * hMm.AC 197: CT is pretty good. I might just buy it.* Hotaru thought, not paying attention to where she was going Hotaru started to turn around but ran into something firm..but...fleshy? * what the.* looking up she saw a white T-shirt covered in a denim jacket, than broad shoulders, a nice lean neck, and last her curious plum eyes met green amused orbs.
"oOo gomen nasai Trowa-san. I wasn't paying attention."
"Its fine Hotaru-san. So you remembered my name..?" with a mock astonished look.
"Don't be so surprised. I wouldn't have recognized you if it weren't for you bangs. And Please call me Hotaru." She said smirking and flicking his bangs lightly with her forefinger.
Blushing Trowa realized something and voiced his inspection.
"As long as you call me Trowa. And you do realized you are the only female in this section, and I think you have drawn quite a crowd, and I doubt they're here for the cd's." He whispered into her ear, causing her to quiver with his charming voice.
Hotaru slowly looked over her shoulder to find that the she was the only girl and the guys were looking at her with blushes staining their cheeks as they were caught staring.at..her.? They all tried to look like they were busy, going through cd's and things. One 'clever' guy was holding his cd upside down.
Hotaru quickly turned around blushing and wide-eyed.
"What are you trying to do, hide in my shirt?" Trowa said chuckling.
Hotaru was currently covering her face with a part of his white T- shirt.
"mMmhMm." Hotaru said nodding.
Which caused Trowa to laugh slightly. His handsome voice startled Hotaru, her head snapped up looking at him. He was looking down at her, smiling slightly. "Yes, I know. I don't seem like the type to laugh. But for you..its different," his eyes softening, surprising Hotaru and himself.
Realizing they were still inches from each other, they jumped apart, a light pink staining their cheeks. "So.what are you doing here?" Hotaru asked, trying to cover her discomfort. * Why am I so flustered~?! Argh~!! He's just a freakin' guy~!! *
*So dana.*
~*flashback*~
Trowa was strolling in Tower Records, going to his section, thinking about the sisters. * What is it about those two? *
He was still brewing over the girls when he turned the corner, he stopped dead in his tracks. All the guys' heads were turned to one single person, a violet haired girl who was swaying slightly enticing the drooling hentais more.
Recognizing the girl as one of the twins his eyes darkened slightly.
* Just my luck. *
He stood there watching, to see what she would do. Hotaru started to step a little dancing to the music causing puddles of drool to form at the hentai's feet. Trowa narrowed his eyes at the men, a feeling of protection coming over him, for who knows what reason, he sure doesn't. Trowa slowly walked towards Hotaru, receiving glares from foolish boys who didn't know who he was. As he reached her, Hotaru turned around suddenly bumped into him. Struggling not to laugh at how she stayed frozen shocked for more than was needed, at bumping into someone.*kawaii.huh~?! Nani~?! What in the world am I thinking...gah~!*
~end flashback~
"Hello? Any one there?" Waving her slender hand in front of Trowa's blank stare.
Blinking, coming back to reality. "Oh...gomen nasai. Um.I'm here with the other boys looking for cd's." Proud of his excuse. "Really? They're all here?" Trowa nodded a yes. "Oh can we meet with them?"
A little disappointed at the slim chance of having his questions answered ( or was it jealousy ?), he reluctantly led Hotaru to where the majority of the guys were. But taking the long way around [ hehehe sneaky sneaky].
~Tora~
We find Tora flipping through the racks of cd's, looking for P.O.D. Classics and Thousand Foot Crutch Relics. Tora glanced at her sides noticing a presence beside her. * ::sigh:: boys, what a pity. * They have been fluttering around her and this aisle, thinking she wouldn't notice when a guy makes rounds 20 times. * psh.yea right.*
Picking up P.O.D., she went to scan the barcode to sample it. * Unless they bug me, I won't bug them*
Tora put on the headphones and began to bob her head to the music, forgetting the world around her.
A couple minutes later, a messy brown haired young man walked into the same aisle, a little miffed about all the people. Walking in grudgingly, he looked for some music; ignoring the other boys.
"Hey.look at her.the one over there." "Whoa.what a heart attack. She's a babe" whispered some guys.
Hiiro's curiousness got the better of him, looked to see what was causing all the commotion. His eyes widened slightly recognizing the blood red hair. She was ignorant of the guys talking about her, or so it seemed.
The girl turned around looking satisfied with the cd walked towards Hiiro's direction.
"Hey girly." a cocky Ken doll look-a-like said, pinching Tora's butt as she passed.
Hiiro's features darkened, not liking the ideas of the guy, any guy treating the tenshi. * The hell~?! What am I thinking? *
Tora walked up to the boy seductively, swaying her hips and twirling a strand of hair around her finger.
"Hey big-boy.." she said in a sexy tone. The Ken doll look-a-like grinned blushing with her forwardness while Hiiro furrowed his brows * what is she doing?*
Tora smiled sweetly batting her eyelashes.than it dropped into a smirk and her eyes narrowed darkly. With inhuman speed she grabbed the hand that violated her with surprising strength. The guy groaned and grunted in pain.
"What gave you the idea you cold touch me? Or any girl like that?" "N-n-no-nobody.." he stuttered "Touch any girl with disrespect again, I'll break something other than your fingers." Tora said glanced at his ahem.
Ken doll look-a-like's eyes widened in fear. "H-h-hai hai.gomen nasai~!"
Tora let go of his hand and watched him run out of the store like a jet.
The remaining guys looked at her in fear and the boys with thick sculls looked on in interest. Before.slowly looking over her shoulder, eyes downcast, they popped open in a warning glare, flashed red.
Gasps were heard from all the boys in the aisle but one. Al you could hear were feet scampering out the door.
Tora sighed and put back her cd, not noticing the lone boy.
She reached for Thousand Foot Crutch Relic, but another hand grabbed it. Tora looked up the slender but muscular arm and was met with a hard stare from prussian blue eyes. Hiiro was wearing navy jeans and a black tank top. Over that he had a leather biker jacket with the collar flipped up and his one piece of jewelry.
"HmM.I thought all you guys left." "Hn.I'm not one of those guys." Hiiro answered
Both hands were still on the cd. Hiiro looked expectantly at Tora.she didn't budge, he glared.she raised an eyebrow.
"Let go." he stated curtly
'It's a dog eat dog world out there.get use to it." Tora replied coolly
Hiiro glared harsher.
"Fine fine.your such a baby.Hirro." Tora said letting go and walking passed him. His eyes went blank * she remembers who I am? * her hair swished behind her and slightly skimmed his cheek and the back of his neck, bringing out her sent. * silk.chocolate * he thought as he closed his eyes, taking in the alluring aroma. * Gotta stop her *
"Are you going to buy that cd you were listening to?" He caught himself saying * What am I doing? Anything to keep her close. Chikusho~! Well.can't take it back now* Hiiro reasoned.
"Naw. I didn't bring any money with me. Hotaru and I were just getting acquainted with Sanq." Tora said a little disappointed that she wont be able to purchase her long expected cd.
Hiiro walked over swiftly to the cd Tora had put down a couple minutes ago and picked it up and placed it between his arm and side as he stuffed his hands deep inside his pockets. Tora looked at him questioningly but Hiiro's eyes were downcast, as if he was walking with his eyes closed. He walked somewhat passed Tora but stopped.
"Come on." he said quietly motioning with his head to the cashiers.
Tora's eyes widened, completely shocked with this boys actions. Not only was he a boy and was being nice but this was the detached man she had met yesterday. Confused, she nodded slowly and followed close behind him, still weary of what his motives were.
As they walked in silence, both confused, Quatre strolled out of his classical section and spotted the two. *Kawaii, they look good together. But there's something wrong with this picture.Tora shouldn't be following Hiiro, and they are both confused with.Hiiro's actions?* He thought, wondering what had happened. Quatre met up with them and.
"Konnichiwa~! Hiiro, Tora~!" he called out, dropping the formalities, knowing the Jigoku sisters didn't like it.
Tora smiled sweetly and a bit surprised to see Quatre as well, " Hello Quatre, its nice to see you again."
"It's nice to see you too. What, may I ask are you doing here?" "The same as you, I propose, looking for some music?" Tora said eyes twinkling with mirth as Quatre blushed a slight pink. Hiiro didn't like seeing Tora smile like that, to Quatre, or any one. * He made her smile.* he looked on grimly. * psh.what do I care? I don't care.for anything.or..anyone. *
"Well, the others are here as well, and I would be happy to escort you around Sanq Kingdom. If that is alright with you and your sister." Quatre suggested, politely. This drew Hiiro back to reality, not knowing how long he had spaced out.
"Nani? Really? You would do that? Wow arigato Quatre, that would be great." Tora said happily, relieved that the possibilities of getting lost were slim with an escort.
Hiiro glared at Quatre. * What is he doing? This is NOT going to help my situation at all. Kuso, Quatre can be too nice.* Quatre sensed this, and glanced at Hiiro, sending him an 'it's ok' look. Hiiro just rolled his eyes.
They made their way to where the rest of the gang would be meeting, and was surprised to see Hotaru there as well. Duo spotted them in the corner of his eyes as he was talking with Hotaru, whose cheeks were barely pink and Trowa glaring at the grinning teen.
*hm.what happened here? * Hiiro questioned.
"Hey guys~! Hey Tora~!" Duo said waving dramatically.
"Hey Duo"
"Hi, nice to see you all again."
"Hn." [ ^__^;; ]
"We are going to escort the Jigoku sisters around town today so they can have a better feel for this city." Quatre said happily, glad he could be of some service.
* What? Oh Kuso.well, I can spend more time with Hotaru so I can get answers to the rest of my questions. * Trowa thought rationally, not admitting he had no more questions and was using that as a lame excuse. He sent a look at Hiiro, blaming it on him for letting Quatre suggest the idea, and all Hirro did was roll his eyes.
"Nani? I am NOT wasting my time with weak onna's." Wufei scoffed, sticking his nose up in the air.
"Who said you had to come. We wouldn't want an arrogant boorish guy with us anyways." Hotaru said, surprising the people around her, except Tora.
"Naw.Wu-man is coming, he needs it." Duo said, grinning.
"Well than, it's best we be getting on our way than." Trowa said, leading Hotaru out the door. * haha...way to go Trowa. * Duo thought. They started to walk when.
"Meet me outside." Hirro said walking off in another direction.
"What are you doing Yui?" Wufei questioned, annoyed.
"I'm going to buy something." Tora walked off with Hiiro, following close behind, wanting to thank him alone.
* hmm.is there another job for cupid Duo to accomplish? * Duo grinned, walking out the door
~five minutes later~
"Arigato Hiiro. You didn't have to buy this." Tora said as they walked out the sliding doors.
"I know." Hiiro answered quietly.
*maybe he does have a heart.and maybe I do to.*
They walked up to Quatre's eclipse. Duo and him were inside making small talk with Hotaru who was standing by Trowa who was leaning on the driver's door, Wufei was standing off to the side looking bored.
"Good you two are out. Hotaru is going with Trowa and Tora with Hiiro on their bikes. I don't think it is wise for them to sit with Wufei." Quatre said.
"Okay~! That's sounds great-just follow us~!" Duo yelled as Quatre's window closed not allowing any protests.
"::sigh:: I guess I'm with you Hiiro, which one is your bike?"
"Over here." Hiiro said walking over to his VRSCA V-rod and pulling out an extra helmet stashed under his seat.
Tora's eyes went wide and her mouth was set in a delicate 'O'. "This. is your bike?" Tora asked totally amazed at the beautiful machine "It's gorgeous."
"You like bikes?" Hiiro questioned truly curious this time.
"I love them." Tora answer dreamily as she moved her hand across the cool metal of the bike. Hiiro smirked * this girl is interesting* he thought as he put on his helmet and held out the extra one for Tora.
"Oh. thank you." The slipped on the black helmet and climbed on the back of the bike behind Hiiro. * What do I do now? I don't know him that well, so it will be strange to put my arms around him, but I'll fall off if I don't. *
"Hang onto me." Hiiro said over his shoulder, causing Tora to relax. Tora slipped her arms around Hiiro's stomach slightly. Feeling his six pack under his thin black tank top * whoa.someone works out. *
As her arms touched his skin. Hiiro felt warmer and.content with the world. He was enjoying her being close to him.
"Hold on tight." He mumbled, " I like speed." He added seeing her questioning look. * and this feeling.*
Tora tightened her arms around him, her heart racing at the anticipation of a fast ride. Hiiro wasn't the only one that liked speed.
"Here's your helmet Hotaru"
"Thank you." Hotaru said, putting it on and clasping the cuff. " You have a nice bike, my dad was thinking of buying one." She added as Trowa got on his bike.
"You have bikes? I don't know many girls who actually like motorcycles, or anything fast at that."
"Well, I'm not like most girls." * noOo waay.*
* You got that right. *
Trowa held out his hand to help Hotaru up, since his bike was made for his height, and she was a little on the petite side. "Now hold on tight, you don't want to fall off now do you?" Trowa asked jokingly.
"You wouldn't let me fall off, would you?" Hotaru asked looking up at him pretending to be worried.
"Of course not. But hold on, because I go fast."
Hotaru wrapped her slender arms around his toned abdomen and blushed slightly. Feeling Hotaru's arms around him, Trowa blushed as well, knowing how close she was. * oh maan..* he groaned in his head, how long will he have to go through this torture today.and such sweet torture.
Quatre drove into the street and headed to the north side of the city, Wufei following in his Celica. Trowa went next, making sure not to start up too fast, so as to not catch Hotaru off guard. Hiiro was last, with Tora. Now Hiiro didn't care that much so he just went, as a result Tora 'eeped' ( uncharacteristically) and tightened her grip. Hiiro looked down at her slender arms while blushing a little [oh my.he blushed hehe ] but kept up the speed.
As they drove, Tora loosened her grip, getting used to the speed ( 100 mph) rather quickly and took in her surroundings. * wow.this place is beautiful*
Hotaru was looking around here and there, impressed with Sanq Kingdom and pointed to the places she wanted to know about. Trowa answering her questions and telling all he knew about the places as they drove.
~six hours later, 8:00 pm, Jigoku mansion~
Hotaru and Tora flopped down on their couch a little winded from the numerous hours of driving around.
They had spent most of their day on the back of the bikes and going all around the city. The two groups had gotten to know each other throughout the day, eating lunch and dinner, and just driving around.
"::sigh:: That was really nice of Quatre offering to escort us around." Tora said sitting up.
"Hai, it was. And of the boys too, complying with Quatre. Sanq Kingdom is beautiful, a balance of technology and country, just like otou- san said."
"What do you think of the guys?"
"No, don't even go there Tora. You know we can't afford getting involved." Hotaru said in a stern tone.
"I didn't say that. I was just wondering what your opinion of them was. Goodness.what's going on in your mind Hota-chan?" Smirking and raising an eyebrow at her now blushing sister.
"Nothing, nothing at all. ::cough::cough:: Um. I guess they are pretty nice, polite enough to show us around that is."
"Yes, that's true. But some of them are hard to figure out. Take Hiiro he's nice one second than distant the next. It bothersome."
"Yea. Trowa is like that too, but he seems to be more open, after today."
"And they seem to be holding a secret.something dark.I can see it in their eyes."
"I saw it too. Even Quatre. But they are not the only ones holding a dark secret Tora-chan, so we have no right to judge them."
They sat thinking of their day, and what the boys next door were hiding.
~Winner mansion, exact same time~
"WOW that was so much fun~! We should spend more time with Hotaru and Tora." Duo exclaimed stretching and falling onto the couch.
"Yes, they are really nice people. I'm glad we will be seeing them tomorrow." [ do I really need to tell you who said that?]
"I can't believe I need to see those two onnas again, this is ridiculous~!" Wufei growled as he stomped off up stairs to his room.
"Did you two have fun today? Hiiro? Trowa?" Duo asked wondering what they thought of the two.
Hiiro and Trowa looked off in space as they thought of their day. The more they spent time with those two the weirder they felt. They couldn't place what it was.so it was weird.
After a minute, the two nodded almost unnoticed and left to their rooms. Duo and Quatre smiled at each other, happy with their friend's progress.
"OH yea ~! Before I forget, we are going to carpool with them for school. Kazeki-san, Hotaru and Tora's father, works early and it would save gas money~!!" Quatre announced.
You could hear a door slam and an 'Injustice~!' and if you listened carefully enough, a groan and a grunt.
Duo went off to get some candy while Quatre went to the music room.
~music room~
Taking out his violin and bow, Quatre started to play a ballad.
*They are truly nice girls.but now and than I could sense uneasiness, fear, and a...darkness from them. Uneasiness I could understand, because we were strangers. Fear.what would they be afraid of? Us? Or something else.? Than that darkness.where would that be coming from? Another thing.I feel drawn to them.but I shouldn't. Trowa and Hiiro are clearly interested in them even though they don't realize it. I wonder.with this new addition in our lives.what does the future hold. *
~back to Jigoku mansion~
The two girls were now in the second main room with cloth, string, paper with scribbles of designs and uniform pieces everywhere. There are two sewing machines on the tea table where two busy girls were working vigorously.
They had decided to attack the revolting uniforms after dinner with their father, who was currently reading a book in his study room. They drew some designs and started to work right after; helping each other with measurements and such.
By tomorrow they would have all their uniforms changed to their liking, hopefully.
When they finished it was 11 and they were fatigued, so they headed off to bed after washing up and changing.
Tomorrow was the first day of senior year, in a new school. They wanted to make a good impression. Also they didn't want to be late since they were carpooling with the boys tomorrow. First day of school = boys driving first.
They still had no word from Setsuna, Michiru, or Haruka. Knowing they were more than capable of taking care of themselves, they still wanted to hear from them, wondering what they were up to.
~Winner Mansion~
Some were excited, others could care less about the first day of school. And than some were brooding over evil plans to annoy the other people of the house.
All in all things were going well, all was forgotten, all was forgiven, all was well.
The trees swayed in the wind of the night carrying with it seeds of joy and life.and another tomorrow
