(I apologize for this taking awhile to come. I've been a little busy. Let's hope I'll get to the main point on time which I would like to be around Christmas.)
Heero got out of the car with Kagome, whom he had brought with him. He escorted her from the parking lot to the classroom where he taught. They were a few minutes early. She took a seat in a random desk and sat there waiting as she stood her arm up and leaned her head on it. "When we're in school, please address me as Mr. Yuy and please don't let anyone know that you're my sister-in-law ok?" Heero asked of Kagome. "Ok Mr. Yuy" she obeyed. Heero took a seat in his chair by the desk and looked at his schedule for today. They heard classroom door being knocked on. "Come in" the teacher said. The door opened and Mr. Khushrenada appeared and walked in. "Good morning Mr. Yuy," said the school's headmaster and he noticed Kagome sitting in a chair. "and hello to you. What's your name young lady?" he asked. "Kagome sir. I'm a new student here" she answered. "Ah, I see. But you shouldn't be here yet. School hasn't started" said Mr. Khushrenada. "Mr. Yuy, drove me to school and escorted me to class" she said as an excuse. Now his eyes went to Heero. "You gave your student a ride to school?" he asked the teacher puzzled. 'Oh, what the heck, just tell him' Heero said in his mind. "Kagome is my sister-in-law, and she now lives at my house Mr. Khushrenada" he explained to him. A satisfied look was on his face now. "Oh I didn't know that." He walked over to Heero's desk. "Congratulations for us Mr. Yuy. I never expected anyone to be able to rent the Moon Crown Palace" said Mr. Khushrenada. "I don't know what you're talking about sir" Heero answered honestly. "Oh, I thought that your team would notify you of such things. Well I guess they were going to tell you sooner or later" began the headmaster. "I save them the trouble" he said smiling. "A few minutes ago, your assistant told me that the party team now had access to the Palace. She said that the proprietors said it was alright for us to use it for free as a Christmas present. She asked me if it were alright to have the party there, and I gave her the ok" he explained. "Well, school will start in a few minutes so I better get to my office. Have a nice day Mr. Yuy and Kagome" he said finishing his last sentence remembering that Kagome had been there and he left the classroom. Heero was flabbergasted. "Is everything alright?" his sister-in-law asked. "Yeah…" he answered her. Who was 'she'? Noin? Sally? Possibly Une? He would ask the others at lunch break. Then the bell rang and the class came in and took there seats.
"Well I don't know then…" Sally said to the others while they were chewing on food in the lounge. Then she looked at Heero in particular. "Well, none of us have any other helpers. You said you had one right?" she continued saying. Oh yeah, that's right he thought. "I'll go ask her then" he said remembering who it was that wanted to volunteer. But how did she do it if it really was her? He would get answers soon enough. He continued eating his food until it was done.
The bell always rang when it was time for school to end, and this day was no exception, and there will probably never be one. "Kagome, please wait inside your transportation for home" Heero said to her and she left the door. He didn't say 'his car' because if the other students heard that, they might think something not right was going on. "Relena, can I see you for a minute?" Heero asked her also. A look of slight apprehension appeared before her face when she turned around to face and walk toward him. Slowly. This was the first time he had seen her with a different expression other her seemingly usual stoic face. "Yes…Mr. Yuy?…" she said in response to her summoning. Heero didn't waste any time to get to the point. "I was wondering if it was you who had anything to do with getting the school to use the Palace?" he asked more gently, seeing that his student looked a bit nervous. "Yes sir…" she said. "I see. May I ask how you were able to do so?" he continued with his questions. "My uncle owns it and I asked him if we could use it" she said, with every trace of fear that was once there now gone. "I didn't know that…" Heero said surprised. "We should thank your uncle, do you know his number or when we can meet?" he said asking another question.
Relena didn't know what to say to that. Trying to keep cool, she took a fraction of a second to think and luckily, she was able to come up with something she hoped would be credible. "Mr. Yuy,… my uncle is a busy man, and has other things to look into personally and he doesn't carry a cell phone with him because he would rather not be bothered. But I'll tell him that you're very thankful" she lied. "I understand Relena" said her teacher. "Alright, we'll start making preparations as soon as possible. I'll keep you posted on everything ok?" he said as he smiled. "Well I'll be going now. See you later." He walked out of the classroom. Relena took a deep breath and hoped that everything would go smoothly.
The next day after school, Heero and the others took a bus to the palace and arrived a half hour later. When they stepped inside, they saw that they would have all the space they needed. It was one very large room, with many round dinner tables, a bar, and a stage. Up on the ceiling was a chandelier that hung like a guardian angel. He walked over to the stage with curtains and wondered if some kind of performance could be played here. "So do you know what you would like to do?" Kagome (whom he decided to take with him) asked him as she explored her surroundings. "Yeah. I want this to be a blast" he answered. "Ok everyone, let's make a list of the supplies we need" Quatre called out to everyone. And so they did. And the list altogether was:
1.cups
2.drinks
3.flowers
4.food
5.bartender
6.something to make use of the stage
"So Sango, what do you think we should do with the stage?" Heero asked Sango as they got into bed. "Well you can try getting dancers and musicians" she suggested. "I see. Do you think I should perform a No? Maybe you can join me." She laughed. "No thank you" she answered. "Kagome has been practicing with the violin. Maybe she can do something for you" she suggested. "Alright. I'll see what I can do. Good night." "Goodnight" she replied.
Once again, it was another day of school that was passing by. During lunch time, Relena went to a secluded part of the cafeteria and sat down and slowly began eating her lunch. "Hey, can I sit with you?" asked a voice from behind. Relena turned behind her and saw that it was the new girl she remembered from her classes. "Oh, sure" she replied. The girl took a seat next to Relena. "By the way, my name is Kagome. What's yours?" "Relena" she answered Kagome. "I see. So are you going to help out with the Christmas party?" she asked. "Of course" Relena answered. She saw that Kagome was holding a case, a kind that looked like it was for carrying an instrument. "So what's that you're holding?" she said asking for the first time in their conversation. "Oh, it's a violin case. We're planning to have a performance of sorts for the party" she answered the asker. "Oh I didn't know that. How do you know so?" she said asking Kagome another question. "I went with the teachers yesterday to go check the place out where we're going to hold the party" she answered her. Relena's heart sank a little. "So…in other words we're you going there to help out?" She just had to ask. "Yeah, I guess you could say that" Kagome said. Relena's heart sank even more. "Hey Relena, I'll let you in on a little secret. I went because I'm Mr. Yuy's sister-in-law." Relena's heart was now sinking towards very bottom of inside her which was infinity. Didn't Mr. Yuy tell her that he would let her know if they were going to make preparations? Why didn't he tell her? Was Kagome an exception because she was family? "Hey are you alright Relena?" Kagome asked seeing that Relena was thinking in her world. She put on a fake smile. "Yes, I'm fine thank you. Well, we better get to class before we're late."
(Sorry for the short chapter. I don' t know if this is something I'm capable of doing. But if I do another chapter, I'll explain more about Relena. Thanks for reading. Btw, if you have any suggestions about what I should do for the story, feel free to share your thought. Please send an honest review. Merci.)
