~*a week passed*~
Tora sighed and propped her head on her hand as she sat in the back row of the large stadium seated classroom. She was completely bored and it was only the second period of school and the first day of the week.
::yawn:: * this is sOoO boring* Stretching and wiping the tears at the corner of her eyes
"Bored?" Asked a husky voice.
Looking to her right, she looked at the profile of Hiiro. His eyes were closed and his arms crossed over his chest.
"Aren't you bored?" Tora whispered, turning back to the front of the class, as the professor droned on and on about meaningless information.
There was a slight pause... "Hai, beyond bored." Was the quick reply laced with annoyance.
Tora looked at him in shock. He actually made a joke. [omwoord pigs must fly] In the short time she new him, she had always figured Heero to be reserved and proper. Not kind and gentlemanly, like Quatre, but proper like a man. He would always answer questions curtly, or say anything curtly and to the point. * What's going on with him these days? *
"Same here." Tora leaned into her chair more and folded her arms across her tight stomach, accidentally pushing up her breasts. Heero, watching her from the corner of his eyes, blushed as his eyes roamed from her face to the rest of her body. Looking away quickly he fought the heat that was rushing to his face.
Heero was always the soldier of the group. Always knowing how to handle things and treat things with perfection, even women. But this one, this one mere woman, drove him crazy. And they only knew each other for about a week. Tora, Tora Jigoku...* Tiger of Hell...even her name is burning with fire and mystery.*
Stealing another glance, Heero's eyes landed on his seat partners long runners legs. Tora had crossed her legs, exposing her milky skin. Heero snapped back, and drilled a whole on the screen in the front of the class, a tint of red painted his cheeks.
"ahem..." clearing her throat, she got the attention of the still man next to her. "I got an idea."
Heero quirked his brow, but complying he leaned down so Tora could whisper her plans. Heero shivered as her warm breathe and soft lips brushed against his ear.
Pulling back, Tora noticed some color on his tanned skin but wondered why it was there in the first place. * Was it me? naw couldn't be* "Lets get outa here...follow my lead."
Today, Tora was feeling uncharacteristically spontaneous. Usually she was as serious as her seat partner, but today was different. Heero seemed pretty fidgety and...alive today as well. * Must be the moon* she concluded.
Looking up, Heero was smirking and nodded a quick nod, liking her idea. * He looks so sexy with that smirk of his...whoa~!! Hold up there honey...kuso what are you thinking Tora~!? * Shaking her head to clear her clouded mind, she returned the smirk with as much 'oomph' as Heero's and sat straight in her chair. Catching the drift, Heero sat up straight as well and looked forward as if he was paying attention.
After two minutes, Tora raised her hand, signaling for the professor's attention.
"Hai, Jigoku-san? Do you have a question?" the old geezer asked in a scratchy voice.
Standing up and to the side of her desk Tora spoke, "Kage-san...I don't...feel...so well." At the end, her voice faded and she started to sway back and forth. "May...I...I...go...to...th-" and all of a sudden she dropped. * oh crap, this is gonna hurt* she winced getting ready for the harsh consequences of lying. Never feeling the hard ground smash her face or the hideous sound of flesh colliding with wood, she peeked open her eyes...* wah?* Than she felt a pair of strong arms around her waist and a hard chest on her back. She fought the blush * my cover will be blown* as the realization dawned on her, Heero had caught her... and was now cradling her princess style.
There were gasps and worried looks around the room as they watched Tora faint. But two faces look amused. Hotaru and Trowa looked at them, Hotaru trying not to laugh and Trowa quirking his eyebrow. Heero just glared back.
"Kage-san. Should I take Jigoku-san to the health office?" Heero asked, putting his "acting" skills in good use. [will be explained hehe]
"Hai hai please do. And hurry and be careful with her~!" The professor called out the door, as Heero walked out.
Heero could hear whispers of concern and the rumors starting already and the professor calming everybody and getting back to the hell they just escaped as he walked down the hallway, Tora still in his arms. He looked down at her delicate face, her head was resting perfectly at the crook of his neck, her slow breathing brushed against his neck, causing his hair to stand on end. She looked so harmless and child-like, her chin length bangs covering and uncovering half her face as he walked. * wow...she's light. I knew she was slender, but not like this. I hope nothing is wrong.* His head snapped back ahead as Tora peeked out of one eye.
Seeing that the coast was clear and they had gotten out of the main hallway, she opened both of her eyes and looked around, than looked at Heero, confused.
" um...we are safe now, you can let me go." She stated quietly, blushing at the closeness. She wouldn't admit this to anyone, but she kinda enjoyed being this close to him. It didn't feel weird or violating like it was with other guy, with this Heero guy, she felt...almost at home.
Heero glanced down at her and than slowly came to a stop, they were in the middle of the hall way, the only light the sunshine coming in through the windows and doors. He slowly put her on her feet, without saying a word.
She straightened her skirt and shirt. Looking up, * oh kami, had to be his eyes. * Tora thought frantically.
* chikusho, had to be her eyes.* Heero thought dreadfully.
They stood there, starring into each other's eyes, getting lost in their own thoughts and the depths of the soul in the person across from them. It registered in both of their minds', they were only a few inches apart from each other.
::ChickChuNK:: was the sound of the automatic door to the outside of the building opening. Snapping out of their daze, Tora and Heero looked around for a room to hide in (tap tap tap was the sound of two people heading close to them) , there was no room, only lockers.
Heero did the only thing he could think of. Grabbing Tora by the arm he pulled her to the wall [well really lockers] and pushed her [not too gently] against the lockers. Tora's back hit one of the locks and she wince in pain.
"What the hell are you doing Yuy~?!" She whispered harshly, Tora opened her mouth to protest and yell more about being roughly pushed against lockers but was cut off by warm lips.
Her eyes went wide as saucers in shock. * OH MY KAMI~!!!!* Tora started to struggle and pounded his chest with her free arm. In mid swing Heero caught it without breaking the kiss (tap tap tap sounds of feet coming closer) and put her arm around his neck, while bringing the other arm over as well (tap tap tap.even closer, turning the corner you can hear the light chatter of two women), he than proceeded to wrap his right arm around her waist bring their bodies together and he leaned against the locker using his left arm. Now Tora was pressed against Heero and the locker. (tap tap tap.the voices were distinct. ) * kuso~! Its Relena.* they both thought.
Finally understanding why Heero was kissing her, Tora stopped struggling. Well she has stopped struggling when he put her arm around his neck and his soft lips were messaging hers.
Hearing the footsteps getting even closer, Tora pulled Heero in even more and unknowingly started to kiss back.
Heero's senses went wild as her tender lips caressed his. Even though he knew this was only a way to hide their faces; that fact was slowly drifting out of his mind as he focused solely on the flowing motion of their lips. Her kisses were gentle but filled with heat at the same time. They were, she was, seductively simple.
Heero forgetting the goal of this "mission" tightened his arm around Tora's waist and slowly deepened the kiss, he ran the tip of his tongue across Tora's lips requesting entrance, but was denied. [lol ouch] His brows furrowed and against his wishes, growled a low and husky growl that sounded from his throat. [still kissing]
Tora smirked and played with the triangle section of his hair at the nape of his neck, swirling her finger through it. Playing with Heero's mind. Tora gave into her own curiousness and Heero's constant growls of frustration.
Tora opened her mouth slightly, running the tip of her tongue across Heero's bottom lip and nibbling it lightly. Heero, waiting for this moment took her request with open arms. Her tongue slowly slipped into Heero's parted lips, and ran it across his tongue, messaging it tenderly.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The two ladies walked and chatted. One had sandy blonde hair and blue eyes, Relena Peacecraft, while the other one had raven hair that went to the middle of her bottom and violet eyes. This girl was around 5'7" and had an air of maturity and sophistication, but also hidden danger.
Relena went on explaining about the school to this new girl when they saw two figures leaning against the lockers. Getting a closer look, both girls blushed. Embarrassed they had invaded a couple's privacy.
Quietly and briskly they walked passed the couple, eyes turned away or downcast. Than they turned down the nearest hall.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Something caught Tora' eye as she opened them in a dream like state * that hair~!* she abruptly broke the avid make-out session in surprise.
Heero who was starting to return the favor was cut short, as he felt the tenshi of hell break the kiss. His mind was fuzzy and he was a little dizzy from the onslaught of emotions that were brought out by touching her lips. The missing warmth of having her close, left him feeling empty. Heero frowned and shook his head a little to clear out all the little clouds and bunnies * what went wrong? * He thought, and than a moment latter the realization of what he just did hit him, * what just happened? * completely shocked at his actions, and even more shocked at how he yearned for more of the girl missing in his arms. Was this just lust or something deeper?
He never thought of himself as a lustful man, though he would say differently of Duo, but he himself never had an interest in women in a relationship type of setting. And he had an honor code that he would never break and would probably kill himself if he did anything of a sort. Was he going to have to kill himself now? Or was there a deeper meaning to this need for the fervent maiden in front of him.
Not wanting to be left in the dark any longer, Heero walked up behind Tora who was currently standing with a hand on her hip and tapping her foot lightly in deep thought.
"I could have sworn that was her...who else would have hair like that besides me...and if that was-" She stopped in her mumbling as a pair of strong arms wrapped loosely around her neck. Tora felt soft messy short hair and flesh on the side of her face as Heero rested his head on his shoulder which was on top of Tora's shoulder, she forgot about Heero in her rambling, almost.
"What's wrong...?" He asked quietly basking in the warmth that flowed through his veins whenever he was near her.
"Wrong? Nothing's wrong...I just thought I saw someone." Tora replied as she leaned against him and hung onto his arms.
"That's all? Hmph...I should go kill that person for interrupting us..." He whispered seductively in her ear, smirking all the while.
Turning around in Heero's arms, she looked at him as she realized what she had actually done. Placing her hands on Heero's waist, she looked up at him, with confusion expressed clearly through her blood-violet eyes. Heero looked down at her, wondering why she looked so confused.
"Nani?" he asked still having his arms draped over her shoulders.
"We...we...we just...Heero we just...kissed." At the same time Tora looked confused and shocked.
"Yea we did." Heero said bluntly like them kissing was an everyday thing.
Tora shocked at his calmness about the idea of them kissing, started to lean in for more. Than the memories of all the things she went through in the past with the men in her life, all the pain, the broken hearts, the loneliness. She had sworn that she would never let it happen again that she would learn once and for all that men, mankind could not be trusted. The only people she could trust were Hotaru and her father. But now she was falling for this guy, this guy she only knew for a week. What was she thinking? How could she be so dumb? Putting up her walls again, she slowly pushed Heero away from her.
Heero's brows furrowed at this action. What went wrong? Did he do something to upset her?
"Gomen nasai Heero, demo I can't do this. I...I...don't even know you." Tora said backing up from him, lifting up her face. Her eyes were hard, like stone. All memory of happiness from being close to him was lost. Hidden behind the doors of pain.
Heero flinched inwardly. Why did it hurt so much to have her reject him? Looking up he saw how cold her eyes were, she didn't even care. * Did she feel anything at all? Even I did...* His pride was hurt and more importantly his heart. The thing he thought he has lost forever. Only to be found, than broken by this tenshi no jigoku.
Heero clenched his fist. No, he was going to keep his cool. He was inoti going to let this girl faze him. She may have found his heart, but she did not melt the glacier that had formed over it through the years.
As he fought the emotions and denied any feeling he had for Tora, the ice around his heart started to build up. Looking up, Heero's eyes were as hard as Tora's if not harder.
"Wakatta. It was just a façade any ways." Heero stated coldly.
Tora kept her cold exterior, but inside she was breaking. * Why am I so hurt by this? And his eyes, so cold. Demo I deserve it, this is what I want. To be unattached. * Pushing away any other thoughts and feelings, Tora nodded, "Hai." Just as cold as Heero.
They turned away from each other in frustration, confusion, anger, and even though they wouldn't admit it to themselves, hurt.
After a couple minutes of tense silence Heero said, "I think we best be on our way back to class, it's been awhile," in an impassive tone.
"Hai, this period should be over."
With that they both headed toward their classroom, three feet between them.
Opening the door silently, they walked in. The students took a glance, knowing they would be back by this time and went back to their work. But Hotaru and the other guys [you know who] kept on looking at them through the corners of their eye.
Tora walked with a brisk place, her eyes were cold and darkened and stared straight not acknowledging them. Duo gasped at how mean she looked, never before had he seen her like this, even when fighting those lechers.
Heero had his hands stuffed in his slacks, his head slightly bowed, his eyes were downcast almost to the point they were shut. His posture was rigid with pent up anger and frustration. Quatre looked in concern at his friends; they were so distant from everyone.
Both took their seats and sat with arms folded, legs crossed [Heero the guy way] and eyes closed. That's how they sat for the remainder of the period.
For the rest of the day at school, they stayed the same, cold and aloof.
* Mayn...what did you do now Heero buddy?* Duo thought shaking his
head as he walked inside the Winner mansion
* Don't close yourself up Tora-chan. Heero seems different, give him a chance.* Hotaru pleaded as she watched her sister go in her room and lock the door.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"How bizarre for Hiiro to switch emotions so quickly. And you said that Tora was the same? One moment she was herself, the spunky girl we all know and love turning into a double of Hotaru on her bad days? OOh what did he do..." Sighed Relena over her cell-phone.
She was currently driving home from school in her white Mustang Convertible talking to Duo who was waiting for her at the Café Late down town. She had to stay after school for two hours to close up on paper work and made sure the new student was well acquainted with the system.
"Seriously, I didn't know Tora could actually look pessimistic and worse ibei pessimistic. Even Hotaru looked a bit worried. Relena babe this isn't going to help our plans at all with setting them up. What are we going to do? Plus the whole ordeal with 512."
"SSHH...don't say anything right now. I'm walking up to Café Late so I'll talk to you later." Relena hung up, pushing open the glass doors to the corner café that they always had their dates or meeting at. Going over to the table in the back of the café by the window, designated 'their' table, she saw Duo get up and meet her half way bringing her into a loving hug.
"Hey, beautiful."
"Hahaha....Duo you're too kawaii."
"Hey Duo, hey Relena. Your usual?" Asked the waitress.
"Yea thank you very much Betty." Answered Relena.
"No problem, I'll be right back with your drinks." Betty walked off to the diner and ordered their drinks.
"So what about 512?" Asked Relena, intertwining her fingers putting them on the table.
"Haha...I wanna know how your doing Lena-chan. Tell me, how was your day?"
"But Duo-chan...these are our friends we're talking about here! We need to help them, especially with 512 in the mix." She whispered pleadingly.
"Ok ok...your right, but they are not more important than you. Remember that Lena, nothing is more important than you." Duo said taking her hands in his.
She smiled at him, her eyes glossy with joy and love.
They sat there for about two hours talking about recent events and how they could help their misguided friends and the new problem that could be the end to all of their relationships with the Jigoku twins.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
~*Jigoku mansion: Hotaru's room*~
"What happened Tora?" Asked Hotaru. She was sitting at her desk finishing up her homework, swinging her legs.
"mmMphMmhahmpphh..." Mumbled Tora who was laying face down on Hotaru's bed. Her head buried in the plush pillows, her fiery hair fanned out on all sides of her head.
"Gomen ne sweetie, but I can't hear you. Maybe if you weren't talking to the pillow, I could."
"UGH!! Don' give me your impassive attitude shit right now Hota. I can't take this." Tora grumbled, rolling over on the bed with a ::flop::
"Whut the hell do you think I'm here for? Talk to me Tora-chan, talk to me."
"Ok...where do I start? From the beginning? (Hotaru nodded, now turned around in her chair facing Tora) Well you know how I 'feinted'? Yea so Hiiro carried me out of the room and out the hall. Then we started walking but people started coming down the hall so Hiiro pulled the kiss to hide your face move. (::gasp:: from Hotaru) But this wasn't to hit on me or anything, we couldn't get caught ya' know? ::sigh:: But it got out of hand. Hotaru I started to kiss him back!"
"So? Live a little. It take two to pull off that trick."
"No...you don't understand. I started to ikissi him back."
"oh...OH! You did?!"
"YEA!!! Oh I'm such a baka...I pushed him away because Relena was escorting a new girl and that girl had hair that was a little too close to someone we know."
"You didn't...?" Looking at Tora's grim face. "You did. Why did you push him away, you know as well as I do that he's different. Don't be so scared, take risks."
"Don't be a baka Hota, it doesn't matter if he's different or if iTrowa'si different. We cannot afford any attachments, and iyoui are well aware of that."
"::sigh:: I know I know...demo it was nice to think about it."
"Don't even think about it, you'll hurt more in the end."
"You got that right. F--*."
The two sat in silence for a while thinking over what they had just said to each other. The sad thing was, it was the truth. Because of who they were and what they represented, they couldn't have any relationships with people other than people like them. Their father was an exception but they were having doubts about keeping their ties with him these past few days. Being part of 'Fang', being iai 'Fang' put anyone who had strong ties with them in danger.
"::Sigh:: who did you see with Relena?"
"Oh yea I almost forgot. I think it was Hino Rei."
"You gotta be kidding me. What would she be doing here? Do you think she might be here because the others sent her?"
"I don't know. All I know is that we gotta find out if that girl I saw was really her and if it is why in the seven hells is she doing here."
Nodding Hotaru moved to sit next to Tora on her bed where they sat and thought of reasons as to why Hino Rei would be here and if they should tell Michiru, Haruka, and Setsuna about it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
~*Winner Mansion*~
"They're striking tonight. HQ intercepted Sirus' message at 2 this morning saying that they were goin' to do the hit up tonight at 11." Quatre told the rest of the guys in the conference room.
"Why do you even tell us this Q-man? I don't want to know this crap if I can't do anything to stop it." Duo said darkly, glaring at the polished wooden table from his slumped position in his chair.
"Exactly. Why does HQ send us this information if they tell us not to interfere? It's pointless." Trowa said quietly, hands fisted.
"Because HQ has their heads stuck up their assess so far up they don't know what's what. We're just a bunch of lab rats they use for their own amusement." Grumbled Wufei from his chair.
"Either way, you all know we cannot mess with this. No matter who the casualties are. You all know what HQ would do if we disobeyed them." Said an emotionless voice from a dark corner, call you could see were eerie prussian blue eyes.
"How can you say that Hiiro? Did they take out your heart as well as your own judgment?" Growled Quatre. Slamming his fist on the table out of frustration and pent up anger, he stalked out of the room.
"Quatre is right Hiiro, how can you just stand there and act like you don't care. I know you buddy and I know that you hate this as much as we all do. Don't hold it inside." Duo said quietly before he too left, followed by Trowa and Wufei.
All was quiet and dark in the conference room now, Hiiro stood alone, like a wolf. Stepping out of the corner he was in eyes down cast. Looking up and over to the window where the moon ghostly moonlight shined through, "You have no idea Duo, you have no idea." Were the last words that came out of his mouth before he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Heero forgetting the goal of this "mission" tightened his arm around Tora's waist and slowly deepened the kiss, he ran the tip of his tongue across Tora's lips requesting entrance, but was denied. [lol ouch] His brows furrowed and against his wishes, growled a low and husky growl that sounded from his throat. [still kissing]
Tora smirked and played with the triangle section of his hair at the nape of his neck, swirling her finger through it. Playing with Heero's mind. Tora gave into her own curiousness and Heero's constant growls of frustration.
Tora opened her mouth slightly, running the tip of her tongue across Heero's bottom lip and nibbling it lightly. Heero, waiting for this moment took her request with open arms. Her tongue slowly slipped into Heero's parted lips, and ran it across his tongue, messaging it tenderly.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
The two ladies walked and chatted. One had sandy blonde hair and blue eyes, Relena Peacecraft, while the other one had raven hair that went to the middle of her bottom and violet eyes. This girl was around 5'7" and had an air of maturity and sophistication, but also hidden danger.
Relena went on explaining about the school to this new girl when they saw two figures leaning against the lockers. Getting a closer look, both girls blushed. Embarrassed they had invaded a couple's privacy.
Quietly and briskly they walked passed the couple, eyes turned away or downcast. Than they turned down the nearest hall.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Something caught Tora' eye as she opened them in a dream like state * that hair~!* she abruptly broke the avid make-out session in surprise.
Heero who was starting to return the favor was cut short, as he felt the tenshi of hell break the kiss. His mind was fuzzy and he was a little dizzy from the onslaught of emotions that were brought out by touching her lips. The missing warmth of having her close, left him feeling empty. Heero frowned and shook his head a little to clear out all the little clouds and bunnies * what went wrong? * He thought, and than a moment latter the realization of what he just did hit him, * what just happened? * completely shocked at his actions, and even more shocked at how he yearned for more of the girl missing in his arms. Was this just lust or something deeper?
He never thought of himself as a lustful man, though he would say differently of Duo, but he himself never had an interest in women in a relationship type of setting. And he had an honor code that he would never break and would probably kill himself if he did anything of a sort. Was he going to have to kill himself now? Or was there a deeper meaning to this need for the fervent maiden in front of him.
Not wanting to be left in the dark any longer, Heero walked up behind Tora who was currently standing with a hand on her hip and tapping her foot lightly in deep thought.
"I could have sworn that was her...who else would have hair like that besides me...and if that was-" She stopped in her mumbling as a pair of strong arms wrapped loosely around her neck. Tora felt soft messy short hair and flesh on the side of her face as Heero rested his head on his shoulder which was on top of Tora's shoulder, she forgot about Heero in her rambling, almost.
"What's wrong...?" He asked quietly basking in the warmth that flowed through his veins whenever he was near her.
"Wrong? Nothing's wrong...I just thought I saw someone." Tora replied as she leaned against him and hung onto his arms.
"That's all? Hmph...I should go kill that person for interrupting us..." He whispered seductively in her ear, smirking all the while.
Turning around in Heero's arms, she looked at him as she realized what she had actually done. Placing her hands on Heero's waist, she looked up at him, with confusion expressed clearly through her blood-violet eyes. Heero looked down at her, wondering why she looked so confused.
"Nani?" he asked still having his arms draped over her shoulders.
"We...we...we just...Heero we just...kissed." At the same time Tora looked confused and shocked.
"Yea we did." Heero said bluntly like them kissing was an everyday thing.
Tora shocked at his calmness about the idea of them kissing, started to lean in for more. Than the memories of all the things she went through in the past with the men in her life, all the pain, the broken hearts, the loneliness. She had sworn that she would never let it happen again that she would learn once and for all that men, mankind could not be trusted. The only people she could trust were Hotaru and her father. But now she was falling for this guy, this guy she only knew for a week. What was she thinking? How could she be so dumb? Putting up her walls again, she slowly pushed Heero away from her.
Heero's brows furrowed at this action. What went wrong? Did he do something to upset her?
"Gomen nasai Heero, demo I can't do this. I...I...don't even know you." Tora said backing up from him, lifting up her face. Her eyes were hard, like stone. All memory of happiness from being close to him was lost. Hidden behind the doors of pain.
Heero flinched inwardly. Why did it hurt so much to have her reject him? Looking up he saw how cold her eyes were, she didn't even care. * Did she feel anything at all? Even I did...* His pride was hurt and more importantly his heart. The thing he thought he has lost forever. Only to be found, than broken by this tenshi no jigoku.
Heero clenched his fist. No, he was going to keep his cool. He was inoti going to let this girl faze him. She may have found his heart, but she did not melt the glacier that had formed over it through the years.
As he fought the emotions and denied any feeling he had for Tora, the ice around his heart started to build up. Looking up, Heero's eyes were as hard as Tora's if not harder.
"Wakatta. It was just a façade any ways." Heero stated coldly.
Tora kept her cold exterior, but inside she was breaking. * Why am I so hurt by this? And his eyes, so cold. Demo I deserve it, this is what I want. To be unattached. * Pushing away any other thoughts and feelings, Tora nodded, "Hai." Just as cold as Heero.
They turned away from each other in frustration, confusion, anger, and even though they wouldn't admit it to themselves, hurt.
After a couple minutes of tense silence Heero said, "I think we best be on our way back to class, it's been awhile," in an impassive tone.
"Hai, this period should be over."
With that they both headed toward their classroom, three feet between them.
Opening the door silently, they walked in. The students took a glance, knowing they would be back by this time and went back to their work. But Hotaru and the other guys [you know who] kept on looking at them through the corners of their eye.
Tora walked with a brisk place, her eyes were cold and darkened and stared straight not acknowledging them. Duo gasped at how mean she looked, never before had he seen her like this, even when fighting those lechers.
Heero had his hands stuffed in his slacks, his head slightly bowed, his eyes were downcast almost to the point they were shut. His posture was rigid with pent up anger and frustration. Quatre looked in concern at his friends; they were so distant from everyone.
Both took their seats and sat with arms folded, legs crossed [Heero the guy way] and eyes closed. That's how they sat for the remainder of the period.
For the rest of the day at school, they stayed the same, cold and aloof.
* Mayn...what did you do now Heero buddy?* Duo thought shaking his
head as he walked inside the Winner mansion
* Don't close yourself up Tora-chan. Heero seems different, give him a chance.* Hotaru pleaded as she watched her sister go in her room and lock the door.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"How bizarre for Hiiro to switch emotions so quickly. And you said that Tora was the same? One moment she was herself, the spunky girl we all know and love turning into a double of Hotaru on her bad days? OOh what did he do..." Sighed Relena over her cell-phone.
She was currently driving home from school in her white Mustang Convertible talking to Duo who was waiting for her at the Café Late down town. She had to stay after school for two hours to close up on paper work and made sure the new student was well acquainted with the system.
"Seriously, I didn't know Tora could actually look pessimistic and worse ibei pessimistic. Even Hotaru looked a bit worried. Relena babe this isn't going to help our plans at all with setting them up. What are we going to do? Plus the whole ordeal with 512."
"SSHH...don't say anything right now. I'm walking up to Café Late so I'll talk to you later." Relena hung up, pushing open the glass doors to the corner café that they always had their dates or meeting at. Going over to the table in the back of the café by the window, designated 'their' table, she saw Duo get up and meet her half way bringing her into a loving hug.
"Hey, beautiful."
"Hahaha....Duo you're too kawaii."
"Hey Duo, hey Relena. Your usual?" Asked the waitress.
"Yea thank you very much Betty." Answered Relena.
"No problem, I'll be right back with your drinks." Betty walked off to the diner and ordered their drinks.
"So what about 512?" Asked Relena, intertwining her fingers putting them on the table.
"Haha...I wanna know how your doing Lena-chan. Tell me, how was your day?"
"But Duo-chan...these are our friends we're talking about here! We need to help them, especially with 512 in the mix." She whispered pleadingly.
"Ok ok...your right, but they are not more important than you. Remember that Lena, nothing is more important than you." Duo said taking her hands in his.
She smiled at him, her eyes glossy with joy and love.
They sat there for about two hours talking about recent events and how they could help their misguided friends and the new problem that could be the end to all of their relationships with the Jigoku twins.

~*Jigoku mansion: Hotaru's room*~
"What happened Tora?" Asked Hotaru. She was sitting at her desk finishing up her homework, swinging her legs.
"mmMphMmhahmpphh..." Mumbled Tora who was laying face down on Hotaru's bed. Her head buried in the plush pillows, her fiery hair fanned out on all sides of her head.
"Gomen ne sweetie, but I can't hear you. Maybe if you weren't talking to the pillow, I could."
"UGH!! Don' give me your impassive attitude shit right now Hota. I can't take this." Tora grumbled, rolling over on the bed with a ::flop::
"Whut the hell do you think I'm here for? Talk to me Tora-chan, talk to me."
"Ok...where do I start? From the beginning? (Hotaru nodded, now turned around in her chair facing Tora) Well you know how I 'feinted'? Yea so Hiiro carried me out of the room and out the hall. Then we started walking but people started coming down the hall so Hiiro pulled the kiss to hide your face move. (::gasp:: from Hotaru) But this wasn't to hit on me or anything, we couldn't get caught ya' know? ::sigh:: But it got out of hand. Hotaru I started to kiss him back!"
"So? Live a little. It take two to pull off that trick."
"No...you don't understand. I started to ikissi him back."
"oh...OH! You did?!"
"YEA!!! Oh I'm such a baka...I pushed him away because Relena was escorting a new girl and that girl had hair that was a little too close to someone we know."
"You didn't...?" Looking at Tora's grim face. "You did. Why did you push him away, you know as well as I do that he's different. Don't be so scared, take risks."
"Don't be a baka Hota, it doesn't matter if he's different or if iTrowa'si different. We cannot afford any attachments, and iyoui are well aware of that."
"::sigh:: I know I know...demo it was nice to think about it."
"Don't even think about it, you'll hurt more in the end."
"You got that right. F--*."
The two sat in silence for a while thinking over what they had just said to each other. The sad thing was, it was the truth. Because of who they were and what they represented, they couldn't have any relationships with people other than people like them. Their father was an exception but they were having doubts about keeping their ties with him these past few days. Being part of 'Fang', being iai 'Fang' put anyone who had strong ties with them in danger.
"::Sigh:: who did you see with Relena?"
"Oh yea I almost forgot. I think it was Hino Rei."
"You gotta be kidding me. What would she be doing here? Do you think she might be here because the others sent her?"
"I don't know. All I know is that we gotta find out if that girl I saw was really her and if it is why in the seven hells is she doing here."
Nodding Hotaru moved to sit next to Tora on her bed where they sat and thought of reasons as to why Hino Rei would be here and if they should tell Michiru, Haruka, and Setsuna about it.
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
~*Winner Mansion*~
"They're striking tonight. HQ intercepted Sirus' message at 2 this morning saying that they were goin' to do the hit up tonight at 11." Quatre told the rest of the guys in the conference room.
"Why do you even tell us this Q-man? I don't want to know this crap if I can't do anything to stop it." Duo said darkly, glaring at the polished wooden table from his slumped position in his chair.
"Exactly. Why does HQ send us this information if they tell us not to interfere? It's pointless." Trowa said quietly, hands fisted.
"Because HQ has their heads stuck up their assess so far up they don't know what's what. We're just a bunch of lab rats they use for their own amusement." Grumbled Wufei from his chair.
"Either way, you all know we cannot mess with this. No matter who the casualties are. You all know what HQ would do if we disobeyed them." Said an emotionless voice from a dark corner, call you could see were eerie prussian blue eyes.
"How can you say that Hiiro? Did they take out your heart as well as your own judgment?" Growled Quatre. Slamming his fist on the table out of frustration and pent up anger, he stalked out of the room.
"Quatre is right Hiiro, how can you just stand there and act like you don't care. I know you buddy and I know that you hate this as much as we all do. Don't hold it inside." Duo said quietly before he too left, followed by Trowa and Wufei.
All was quiet and dark in the conference room now, Hiiro stood alone, like a wolf. Stepping out of the corner he was in eyes down cast. Looking up and over to the window where the moon ghostly moonlight shined through, "You have no idea Duo, you have no idea." Were the last words that came out of his mouth before he walked out of the room, closing the door behind him.
