Hello again! Sorry it took a little while to update, school's started again groan. I would like to thank all of my lovely reviewers who have made me sooooo extra happy!!!

Cyborg Tora: Thank you! I'm glad you like the story so far and I agree, it is high time that someone kicked the G-boys asses. And the Furies are more than happy to do so. As for pairings, wait and see…..

Aquarius: Sorry you do not like the implants, but honestly, I could not think of any other way to keep the boys in order. That's some kind of compliment right?

Hyperactive frogchild: I thank you my devoted fan. By the way, Louise is so permanently high that yes she cannot feel pain but I'm afraid the boys are not pets and I'm not even commenting on this leash idea….

Fallen angel: Thank you for reviewing! Glad you like, but don't worry bout Quatre he is tougher than you think! (shut up, damn spoilers!!!)

Disclaimer: The G-boys are not mine. Full stop. Sob

Chapter 6: Setting out

Lauren had just about finished showing the boys round the parts of Oujirou that the girls used, having explained to them that showing them the entire ship would take the whole journey. They were just leaving the engine room when Louise came bounding up to them.

"There you are," said Lauren, "and the others?" she added, curious at Louise's beaming smile. Louise just chuckled and turned round; everyone else peered over her shoulders. The two girls turned into the corridor, each with significantly more bruises than when the boys had last seen them. The hostility it seemed had not diminished however. "Ah," said Lauren, grinning, "Who won?"

"I did!!" cried Tasha and Emma, then the pair realising what they had said, returned to scowling at one another.

"They both got each other in a choke-hold," explained Louise, pulling a face.

Lauren raised her eyes to the ceiling in a why am I not surprised look and then swivelled round to face the boys. "Well," she said reflectively, "what are we going to do with you?"

An indignant Heero was about to reply when Emma suddenly burst into life. "They'll do chores!!" she cried jumping in front of the group. "They will do chores for my ship!" Her eyes gleamed just a little too brightly and the left one distinctly had a little 'tick' to it. The boys were a little freaked out.

"All right Emma," said Lauren smoothly "What do you want them –" hastily amending when she saw Emma's face "-us, to do?"

"Follow me," whispered Emma who then ran down the corridor so fast, there was a breeze. As the others followed, albeit grudgingly, Heero quietly asked Lauren "Since when do we do chores?" Lauren replied solemnly "It's best not to argue when she gets like this." and promptly walked off down the corridor.

A few minutes later everyone was back in the cockpit, silently watching Emma, who was dashing around the room, reading monitors and screens, which had appeared seemingly of their own accord in the walls. Tasha, ever impatient, opened her mouth to speak when Lauren whispered in her ear "Be gentle," Tasha gave her a look and hollered "Emma what the hell are we doing here?!?!?" Emma stopped dead and looked directly at Tasha. Lauren sighed to herself "Way to be gentle,"

Emma started to slowly march towards Tasha, smiling, always smiling. Just as slowly everyone else began to creep away until Tasha was left staring Emma down, with perhaps rather less confidence than before.

"I think, " said Emma, her blue eyes flashing painfully bright "that you," leaning in so Tasha backed up against the wall " can deal with," Tasha was white now and biting her lip, Emma deliberately paused "our course to Mars,"

Tasha gaped for a moment and cried "What?" Everyone else unconsciously breathed out again. Emma walked off, smirking, then stopped and turned back again. " You know what places we have to avoid, don't you?" she said, addressing Wufei. Wufei stuck out his chin and answered "Yes but –"

"Fine," replied Emma, swiftly cutting him off, "Tasha you're working with him." The ship then rang with the twin yells of "WHAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

"You can't be serious,"

"He's not to be trusted,"

"I won't tell you anything,"

SLAP! Both Tasha and Wufei now had bright red handprints on their right cheeks.

"You will work together," said Emma steadily, meeting their glares "because I said so. I don't expect you to enjoy it but make no mistake it will happen."

Tasha clenched her fists, gave Emma a look that clearly said you are so going to pay for this then grabbed Wufei and tugged him out of the room mumbling something along the lines of "The manual control room is this way," ignoring Wufei's angry shouts.

"Now," said Emma turning her back on the rather stunning exit "We need someone to check on supplies. Louise?" the redhead looked up from where she had been sitting on the desk "I want you to go with," her eyes scanned the room "him," she finished pointing at Duo. Louise smiled blissfully and leapt over to Duo where she enveloped him in a huge bear-hug. Duo had first gone white, then red as Louise hugged him, then curiously, he began to go blue. Lauren said levelly " Louise what have I said to you?" Louise's eyes started to spin as a multitude of warnings filled her mind. There was a loud 'clunk' as Louise hit the floor at Duo's feet. "Humans are not squeaky toys," said Lauren gently, bending over her with her hand raised. Duo let out a single gasp as air filled his lungs again.

Rolling her eyes Emma then looked at Trowa. "Do you know anything about engines?" she asked seriously. A little put out, Trowa nodded slowly. "Then you can sort out the engines, you know where it is," finished Emma. "Fun," commented Trowa dryly as he wandered from the room, closely followed by a giggling Louise and a slightly nervous Duo.

" I suppose that means I'm taking care of the attack?" cut in Lauren. Both Quatre and Heero, the only remaining pilots at this point, looked at her and then at each other. "Sure," shrugged Emma, "he can help you," she added, gesturing at Heero (he was the closest one to Lauren). Lauren raised her eyebrows for a minute then walked smartly out of the room. Heero was not at all pleased at the prospect of helping the Furies, but knowing better than to antagonize his captors, followed her out.

This left Quatre and Emma still standing in the cockpit. Quatre swiftly turned away from Emma so she would not see the blush covering his face and neck. He wasn't quite ready to admit to himself why he was blushing, after all he barely knew her, and she had knocked him out none too gently before, but somehow he was not complaining about the fact that he was now alone with this particular Fury. Quatre swallowed his pride and sneaked a glance at her.

"What are you looking at?" was his reward. Quatre's self-confidence dropped several points. 'Is she always this friendly or does she just not like me' he thought anxiously. A glutton for punishment, he decided to try one more time. "Are we working together?" he asked, unable to keep a hint of hope out of his voice.

"No," said Emma disinterestedly. "You are going to be our cook." She declared, her arms folded. Not that Quatre wanted to argue with her, but he could tell that it would have been a lost argument.

Please review!!!
