You Drive Me Crazy Chp. 5
AN: Sorri guys, but I had my tonsils out and was really sick for a while, and then I started my job, Girl Scout Counselor at a camp, so I have been taking care of a bunch of little and sometimes sweet ragamuffins. And I do that from Sun.– Fri. so I've been busy, PLUS my comp was turned off one night, and decided that it didn't want to come back on. Then I graduated from high school and had a party and my dad gave me a LAPTOP! Yaahhhoooo for me!!!!
Oh, and one more thing to all of those who reviewed my story, thanks! I love all of you greatly, and you have no idea how much those meant to me, especially since I hadn't updated in so long.
Recap: The Boys & Girls sat down to a quiet dinner, Yeah Right, and then Duo was being his usual self and Usagi said something to Minako, and they started what is fondly recalled as WW 3. Then in walks a white haired man drum roll.
CHP. 5
The white haired man, surveyed the room and its occupants with a raised eyebrow, then cleared his throat. "What's this? A welcoming party for the Alliance girls? Why weren't Noin and I invited?" As Zechs said this all of the "kids" looked sheepishly back at him, ducked their head, or blushed or in Quatre's case, all three.
"We were just..." Quatre was at a loss for words. Zechs raised his eyebrow again, and as Quatre turned a few more shades of red, a sound from behind him (Zechs) drew all eyes. It was Noin turning a slight shade of purple as she tried to hold in the laughter that threatened to burst from her. Noin was using the door jam as a leaning post and alternatively holding onto it so she did not end up on the floor. As she noticed all eyes on her, she clapped her hand over her mouth and swiftly exited the room, and had she gone a few more doors away, her laughter would not have filtered into the room so loudly. Zechs shook his head, and turned once more to the mass of food, torn clothes and misc. body parts tangled together.
"Would you all like to untangle yourself, clean up and meet in the drawing room?" As he said this he turned to look at Quatre for permission. At the blonde's nod, he turned and headed the few feet to the door and disappeared from view. When Zechs was gone everyone started to untangle themselves and head to their respective rooms to clean-up and at least try and make themselves half-way presentable. Thirty minutes later they started to trickle in to the Drawing room and seat themselves around Zechs and Noin. After the last person was seated an all attention was on Zechs he began, "My sister received a package in the mail, and like custom since this whole thing has started it went through the new security system that Heero and Duo designed, and it was a good thing, because inside the box curled around the note was a cobra."
Heero and the boys all looked at Zechs with undivided attention while the girls did various things, such as cleaning their nails, twirling hair, typing on a mini-computer, counting the number of threads in the weave of the couch, touching up nail polish. The girls were so good at appearing bored that Zechs cleared his throat so loudly that Mars almost dropped her bottle of finger nail polish. She looked up and growled at little," You almost made me drop my finger nail polish, and I have to buy this from a supplier in Madrid!"
"Well, if you had been paying attention, any of you, he wouldn't have had to clear his throat and startle you." Wufei informed Mars. Mars snorted and looked at the girls.
"We know exactly what he said, and if you would like, we can repeat if for you in stereo? No? There is no reason we have to sit and have our attention riveted on him for the entire time, because to the best of my knowledge, all of us are capable of multitasking. So, please continue." Zechs gave a glimmer of a smile and continued,
" The note didn't contain much, but it did contain a threat, or should I say a promise." He pulled a copy from his pocket and looked at it, then passed it to Heero, from there it circulated around the room. The note said:
PRINCESS:
YOU NEED TO BE AWARE OF THE DANGER YOU ARE IN! WE DO NOT MAKE IDLE THREATS! OUR FRIEND THE COBRA SHOULD HAVE PROVED THAT POINT TO YOU. OBEY THE DEMANDS MADE AND THE DANGER WILL PASS.
After all had read the note Zechs refolded the note and stowed it back in his jacket pocket. All were silent. Heero looked at Zechs," Was that the reason you came here? To tell us that there had been another threat?"
Jupiter looked at Moon and at her slight nod she questioned" Was that all?" At Zechs blank look, Mercury finished for her,
" She meant was that the complete note, it seemed to be missing some key elements, like a demand? It did say that she was to comply with the demands but no demands were made, unless you have a previous note with a demand of any sort, then I, along with the other girls" who just nodded," are all quite confused."
Zechs seemed to ponder the question, but came up blank. He looked at Heero," You have a copy of the letters don't you? I can't remember any threats in the other two letters, can you?"
"Hnn."
"You've only had 2 letters? Then why in the world did Pluto send us here? I mean if you have had only 2 letters, and none of them have had demands, just empty threats then again, why are we here?" Venus asked.
Zechs started,"I'm not sure why you were sent for, Lady Une just informed me that she had sent for 5 agents from the Alliance group and that she had requested Lady Pluto's "Inners".
"What did Une mean by "Inners", if you don't mind my asking?" Noin interrupted Zechs.
"Not at all," said Moon. "We," she gestures to herself and the other girls" are the "Inners" because of our names, Moon, Mercury, Mars, Jupiter, and Venus. When we joined the Alliance we were given names and then assigned to the Special Tactical Force because of our varying skills. We were sent because the Outers were busy, technically we were off duty, in kind of a reserve status if you will."
"Who are the Outers?" asked Duo
"The Outers are our counterparts, other girls with some of our skills and a few more that we have yet mastered, just a little bit older, but we have gotten off the subject, the question really is who is sending the notes? And is Princess Relena really in all that much danger, because from what we have seen your Gundam Boys are quite capable of taking care of things."
"Yes," spoke Trowa, "that is the question
