Ok... this is chapter 20! I know that I said that I'd try to get an update out soon... and it's been two weeks already. All I can say in my defense is that school started, and I'm swamped with work. I'll try to update soon, but I can't make any guarantees. Well... I made this chapter longer than most of the previous ones to make up for the delay...

Well... now you finally get to see what Rei's thinking! I hope you guys like this chapter... it seems a little weak around the end to me. But I really didn't know how to end it.

Thanks for all of the reviews! Wow! I got 23 for just the last chapter! That's never happened before. I love you all!

I don't own GW or SM.

Rei sat on the floor, her thoughts racing. Wufei was Faye. Wufei was a guy. Therefore, Faye was a guy. Faye, who was really Wufei, was a guy going to her school. Her all girl school.

Her thoughts continued in that strain for a few more minutes, in which Dorothy confusedly left and Minako sat down besides her, peering with worried eyes. Soon, one thought seemed prevalent over the others. Wufei was in the kitchen, talking with Relena. Right now.

With this piece of information in mind, she turned to Minako, some of the fleeting insanity gone from her eyes. Wufei was lying to her, and everyone else at her school, and she didn't know why. All she knew was that it could not turn out good for the scouts' current position. It was just too much of coincidence.

"Minako... I want you to tell me everything you know about Wufei."

The blonde looked at her oddly at this request. "Rei... I just met the guy. Why? What's wrong?"

"I've got an odd sense of déjà vu." Rei answered, answering the question, but not really answering the question. It was best to find out everything for herself first... she would hate to cause a false alarm.

"Well... he seems like a very rude person, and kept calling me onna." Minako relayed thoughtfully, "And he seemed to know Heero. And Relena. Not to mention what he said was very strange... almost like a spy."

Although she said all of this with a carefree manner, Minako was in fact paying very close to Rei's reaction. There was something she was missing here, and Rei didn't seem to be in the mood to share. But... what was it? Rei looked cold and calculating at the moment, her eyes betraying none of her thoughts or emotions. Did she know Wufei? Then why was she shocked to see him? Things just didn't add up.

Meanwhile, Rei was trying to work things out as well, although she had a bit more information than Minako. She for one knew Wufei's secret, and she was going to do something about it. But what?

What did Wufei fear the most? She ran the conversations they had had the past few days through her mind... his reactions... his attitude.

'Onna. Stupid onna.' She could hear his voice taunting her in the past. 'I'm better than you any day.'

Then it finally clicked.

Pride. His pride was his weakness, and that was what she needed to use against him. It was the thing that would hurt him the most, and he certainly deserved it after being a total jerk to her for the past couple of days.

She would hit his pride.

Minako had seen a flash in Rei's eyes, and suddenly she had the feeling that someone was going to be in a lot of trouble soon.

Duo finally stepped into their apartment, sighing as the cool air conditioning hit his face. He had wanted to grab Heero's laptop on his way out of the temple, but he figured that stealing in a holy place would go on the 'very, very bad' list of things to do. Not to mention the lack of an excuse to take it, and the fact that someone was bound to realize its disappearance.

So instead, he opted for swiping a picture off the desk instead.

Throwing his bag on the couch, he heard a grunt as it impacted.

"Sorry Q-man. Didn't see you there."

"It's alright Duo. So... how did everything turn out?" Duo saw Quatre poke his head out from behind the couch.

"I managed to smooth things over." Looking around, he asked, "Hey... where are the rest of the guys?"

"Trowa went out for more groceries. We're out again. Wufei rushed out here 30 minutes ago muttering something under his breath."

"Like that's anything new." Duo said sarcastically. "How about Heero?"

"He's in my room working on the computer. He said something about losing his laptop."

"Oh. Ok."

Duo then moved to Quatre's room to pay the perfect soldier a little visit.

Sliding open the door, he met the familiar sight of the Wing Zero pilot working on the computer, although this time it wasn't the laptop. Shame about the laptop.

"So Hee-chan... how was your afternoon?"

As usual, his question was met by a grunt.

"Mine was great, considering that I ran three blocks, stumbled out of the woods, had a stick thrown at my head by none other than you, and made a total fool of my self in front of a pretty girl. Correction... two pretty girls. Don't I at least get a 'thank you'?"

Heero grunted again.

"Oh well... only to be expected I suppose." Duo replied, sighing. "What are you working on anyways?"

"Mission."

Slightly surprised that he had actually gotten an answer, Duo took this as encouragement to continue. "Find anything interesting?"

"Hn."

Duo peered over the perfect soldier's shoulder in attempt to get a better view of the screen. But before his brain could register anything, Heero had x-ed out of the window.

Shooting the American a glare, Heero growled, "Mind your own business, Maxwell."

Duo snorted. Fat chance. "What were you looking at, Heero?"

"Personal data sheets."

"For who?"

"Suspect."

"We have suspects? I thought that you agreed to share any information you come across with us. This is our mission after all." Duo said, trying to sound relaxed.

"This is personal."

At this, Duo raised an eyebrow. Heero Yuy, the perfect soldier, having personal problems? What was the world coming to? "Personal? But you just said that she was a suspect."

"It's complicated, Maxwell."

"Care to fill me in?"

"No."

Behind him, Duo heard the front door open and close. Deciding to abandon this conversation until later, he left. Well... it wasn't like he was getting anywhere anyways. He could always grill Heero when he was in a better mood. Besides, he was hungry and the coming of Trowa signified the coming of food.

Trowa stood in the doorway, his arms full of groceries once again. Quatre hurried up from the couch to help him put everything away.

Duo sighed in bliss as the smell of food filled the room. Maybe the day could end on a happy note after all.

Rei stood up, facing the kitchen door, a sense of eerie calm on her face. Minako had given up on trying to make her talk, and instead had turned on the TV, watching the news.

Rei just stood there, watching and waiting. Any time now...

The door handle opened, and Relena came out. She looked grim but determined, and Rei was sure that Wufei had censored her until her nerves were on end. Putting on a rather forced smile, Relena looked at Rei.

"Wufei wants to talk to you." She said, and then joined Minako on the couch.

Nodding, Rei headed towards the kitchen. She had been expecting this.

As she entered, she came face to face with a very male Wufei. He had on his customary glare, but now that she had calmed down, she could easily match it. Neither glare faltered, and then Wufei began to speak.

"You know."

"I'm not blind, Wufei. Of course I know."

"You won't tell anyone."

"Like hell I won't. In fact, I'm going to tell everyone. You really haven't given me much excuse to like you over the past few days."

"You can't tell anyone."

"Watch me."

Wufei glared into her eyes, and he knew.

"Name your price, onna."

"Answer my questions. Truthfully."

"We'll see. Ask away."

"Why are you dressing as a girl."

"To be with Kat."

Rei raised an eyebrow. "I suppose that she's a guy as well."

Wufei had indeed been expecting these questions, and he had a good excuse for all of them. "No. She really is a girl."

"And why are you at T.A.?"

"Because Kat's at T.A. We were childhood friends, and I didn't want to leave her. So I followed her to T.A. Unfortunately T.A. turned out to be an all girl school, and I had to make certain sacrificed."

Rei mock nodded, pretending to go with his story. To her, it sounded like a lie, but for now she was willing to give him the benefit of the doubt. "That doesn't mean that you can stay. I can't just 'forget to mention it' in front of the school board. As long as I know, I'm an accomplice."

"So you're going to turn me in?"

"I guess. I don't have much choice."

"What do I have to do to change your mind?" Wufei asked, his voice almost a whisper, chilling and lethal.

Rei pretended to ponder what she had already thought through outside. "You will serve me."

Wufei blinked, sure he misheard, "What?"

"You will serve me."

Inwardly, Wufei gulped. That did not sound good... no... that did not sound good at all...

"Explain yourself, onna."

Rei snorted. "I thought that it would be perfectly clear by now. You will serve me as long as I know your secret."

"Like a slave." Wufei said, a not of disbelief in his voice.

"Now you're catching on." Rei gave him a smirk. He personally couldn't see the humor.

"... you're joking."

"Of course I wouldn't force you to be my slave at school... that would raise suspicion which I'm sure you want to avoid. Three times a week here, at Relena's house, after school." Rei explained calmly, in the same note as one would when commenting on the weather, "And this only lasts as long as you're attending T.A. I see no reason for it to continue after you're gone."

Trying to check his anger, Wufei glared at Rei. "Here? At Relena's, three times a week? Are you trying to kill me?"

"No, but that can be arranged as well." Rei replied in a calm voice.

Wufei remained silent for a few moments, in which he made his decision. "I need to think this over."

"Fine. You have tonight to consider. Tomorrow, school starts again, and I will be waiting for your answer." Rei smirked.

Giving her a short nod, Wufei quickly strode out of the room. Sparing Relena a glance, he walked out of the apartment, slamming the door. Minako immediately entered the kitchen when he left, meeting a calm and stony Rei. The raven-haired girl just sat there, knowing that the damage had been done, and whether it was good or bad would soon be decided. Minako had said that he sounded like a spy... well now she would be able to get closer to him and find out for sure.

She only hoped that all of them would get out of this unscathed.

Well... that's it for this chapter! I hope you liked it, and I'll try to update soon.

Please review! Reading reviews makes me so happy, and they'll motivate me to write faster!

Love,

Inverse-chan
