I'm baaaaaaaaaaaaack! He, he.

You'll like this one. He he. Demo, I am debating if I should leave it as a cliffhanger or not?

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

Mi had been right. Sally didn't have them working nearly as hard though. They could use the elevator this time. Basically they did errands and helped the cleaning crew. Half way through Tenshi had to leave Ru because she had her lessons with Sally for her speaking.

When they had left Tenshi was in a rather good mood. She had a secret and she was bursting to tell about it. There was only one way to calm her nerves. She said her hellos and goodnights to everyone before running to her room and changing into what she had began to call her skating gear. Gray sweat pants, some t-shirt or tank top and a zip up sweater. She threw her skates over her shoulder and headed for the rink.

When she arrived she found the only person she didn't great. Hiiro. She was stunned to say the least. The Perfect SOLDIER was skating GRACEFULLY on the ice. She couldn't believe how natural he looked doing it. He still had his faults but she could see he was making him self perfect it. Her mind registered the song he had going and had to fall over in shock. Shaggy's Angel was playing.

How in the world or more like what in the world was Hiiro doing with a song like that. The only one in the group who would have the CD to that would be. she groaned. Only Hiiro, only Hiiro would be daring enough, besides her, to raid Dou's CD's. Dou's CD's were like his braid, Wufei to his Katana, Hiiro to his computer, Trowa to his Silence, Quatra to his gentlemen ways, Hotaru to death, Michiru to the sea, Haruka to.she coughed there. Need she say more?

She made her way down as Hiiro did two double axles in a row and almost fell. Though he caught himself and looked in time to see her smiling at him. This time he did loose his concentration and fell. She shook her head as she laced up her skates. Tonight Hiiro was on his own. She needed no distractions tonight. She had to wind down before she blurted her secret before it was time. Though with Hiiro around she was finding him to be a constant distraction. The others she could ignore but for some reason Hiiro would draw her attention just by breathing.

A figure stood in shadows and looked through a door way smiling.

"Everything is falling into place." Her voice was deep and noble. Another answered her back.

"As it should be. Things are falling into place as they should. Need not to worry daughter for I will not let our little light dim."

The figure nodded and smiled watching Hiiro and Tenshi on the ice.

"Yes, the time for the gathering is soon at hand and the past shall meat the present and all shall fall into place." She whispers to herself. The she stifles a giggle. "Though I must remember to get a camera for tomorrows events."

(I am evil I know and thank you for noticing.)

The next morning proved to be rather dull would be and understatement. Tenshi had woken in her bed this time so she need not worry about waking Hiiro. She need not worry about him getting back at her. She had black male. It would be a shame for the others to find out who the Gingerbread Man was. Even if three-fourths to the pranks were her thinking (actually mine but lets just pretend for the sake of fiction writing). The school was buzzing there was a new student who had arrived that night.

Neither Pilots nor the girls cared. The pilots never really cared and the girls had their minds on more important matters. What they were going to wear to the mask. Well that was what they were thinking till the new student walked in.

~Girls I want to you look to the front of the class and not laugh or shot out loud.

Came Mi's voice through their link. Once Ru and Tenshi did they had to do a double take. Ru began to choke as Tenshi slapped her hand to her mouth. Standing next to the teacher was something you could only see once in a lifetime. Standing in all her glory and pride was one Haruka Tenoh wearing the girl's uniform. That is right THE GRILS UNIFORM. Pink, dress shoes, little white socks and all. The teacher asked her to introduce her self.

"Kaze Tsukino." Tenshi hit her head on her desk then buried it in her arms. Mi's face had gone red from holding laughter but Ru; oh no she was not going to let Haruka slip through her fingers. She had taken Tenshi's thinking and had a camera, which was now in use. Sure they had seen Haruka in dresses before but come one. The Peacecraft School GRIL'S Uniform. After taking a few pictures she placed it back into her pocket and then proceeded to put her fingers to her lips and blew. Mi lost it and began to laugh and Tenshi pounded the desktop. The class was at a lost as they watched the girls and the new comers reaction.

"OI, Ru, Bite me." Was all Kaze said as she glared at the girl who was smiling down at her in what could only be called a totally classic Dou smile. Ru began to laugh.

"Naw, you are to damn bitter for my taste." * though I am sure Mi-mama would love to

She added mentally so the rest could hear. Mi smacked the back of her head as Haruka glared and gave a raspberry. All three girls saw this and broke down into more fits of laughter. The teacher became angry and sent all four of them out side the classroom with the water punishment. (If you have seen Ranma ½ then you understand if not it is were the students stand outside the classroom door in the hallway holding buckets of water till the teacher lets them back in.)

Towards the end of class the teacher finally called them back in. all four girls were sopping wet and cloths rearranged as if they had been in a wrestling match. Mi, Ru and Tenshi were still chortling and Kaze was still giving them death glares. The teacher was once again out raged and ordered the girls to their dorms to change. As soon as he gave them permission to leave three blurs were out the door as Kaze stalked out the room rolling up her sleeves muttering under her breath. Laughter could be heard coming from the halls.

"Please tell me some one else found that rather odd." Dou pleaded. He got four head nods in response.

"I would assume that is the Kaze the girls spoke of." Quatra told them blinking at the door way the girls went through.

"What the hell just happened?" Wufei finally demanded after waking up from his stupors. He only got shaken heads and shrugs. They didn't find out till lunchtime. They found all four girls in civilian clothes chasing each other around Ru and Mi's room.

"What is going on and why are you not in school!" Quatra demanded. All four girls stopped their pillow fight some still in mid swing. After two shots the head Ru blew back her hair from her face and looked up and Quatra who along with the other guys was scowling. She smirked then clucked like a chicken. Tenshi's shoulders shook in laughter as Quatra glared at Ru. Mi stifled a giggle.

"Sorry, but it seems the teacher was rather miffed and the Principle along with Mrs. Peace."Ru and Kaze cough and Piece of crap was muffled in their coughing. Mi gave them warning glares. " Peacecraft agreeing we were suspended for a few day."

"Don't look at me." Haruka said holding up her hands. " I wasn't the won who poured the first bucket." Three sets of eyes turn to Tenshi who began to inspect lint on her shirt. She looked up with her innocent eyes and a look of 'what did I do?'

"That still doesn't explain what happened in the class room." Quatra's voice came clipped.

The girls looked at each other and shrugged. Then Mi, Ru and Tenshi began to giggle again.

"Lets not start that again." Kaze snapped at them then turned to the guys. "They were just surprised at my arrival ."

"And clothes." Ru interrupted before giggling again. "See normally when and if Haruka-pa.." she caught her self before she said papa. That would take some more explaining but oh well. She liked to see Haruka squirm for once. "Normally Haruka-papa dresses more like a tom boy very rarely in dresses. It was just too hilarious and tempting not to say or do anything when we seen her in the uniform. Normally her cloths are dark, some times light colors but never, never ever..."

"Pink." Kaze growled. That sent the others into laughter again.

"So in another words you made yourselves look like idiots just to tease Kaze?" Trowa pointed out. All laughter stopped and this time Ru didn't have a come back neither did the other two. Kaze smirked.

"Burn." Was all she said before three pillows hit her.

The boys decided, even Quatra, to skip the rest of the day. They were going to anyways. They still had to pack to leave that night for their shuttle to the mask. (To clarify, mask is the old fashion way of saying a masquerade party. It is shorter too ^-^())

They had made it to lunch in time before the bell wrung before heading back to the dorms to pack. By late afternoon they all found themselves in Dou's room. Haruka had not been at all happy with the relationship of Dou and Ru but a very intimidating princess shut her up. The girls were telling the guys stories of before they had all met when a knock was at the door. Tenshi smiled and beat anyone else to the door. She had a surprise. She opened the door and ushered the four guests in.

"Tenshi I don't see what was so important that.." A cup hitting the floor was all that was heard after that. Two of the guest bounded in the room. One found Dou's lap while the other Ru's. They had to watch the show as it progressed.

" Well, well, well. What do we have here?" Sally said clicking her tongue in disapproval.

"Ali-chan?" Kaze croaked. Then she wrinkled up her nose in disgust. " What the hell are you wearing?" Tenshi face faulted as did others. Sally had come wearing her Preventors uniform. Only this time it was the one she used on field training. Kaki pants with matching shirt she had white scarf tied around her neck that had the Red Cross on it, as did an armband. She had on black combat boots that came mid calf and a kaki cap with the Red Cross on it as well.

Sally's face didn't have her normal smile or laughter. She pursed her lips. "It is my uniform thank you. And jus wear the hell have you been young LADY." Kaze's eyes narrowed.

"I don't believe that is any of your business."

Something had to be done. Both were about to go at each other's necks and blurt out information someone didn't wanting the pilots to know. The last guest came to the rescue.

" I see you still don't use your manors?" came a voice rolling in mirth. She thought it rather funny to see the two of them squabble. Kaze head snapped in her direction.

"Kitty?"

Cathy smiled. Kaze then looked around for someone else. " Where is Lui at?

Cathy shook her head as Sally chuckled.

"Looking after her care, unlike you."

"I was too" Tenshi stepping into Sally and Kaze's line of view cut her short. She glared at the two.

' I did not ask them here for you to start up an argument. I don't give a rat's ass what happened to make two jump at each other throats. It was in the past where it will stay. Say you're sorry and make up. I will not have this group torn apart by your selfishness. We need ever damn person we have to defeat this thing and I will not have you running it. Is that understood.'

Sally and Kaze nodded their head furiously. Ru snorted.

" I warned you she was different."

Kaze looked down at Ru with a look of ' are you crazy of course she has changed' along with 'my Kenoko just yelled at me' and that of a five year old who's mother just scolded them.

The Pilots watched with a growing headache. It was just getting too much even for them. It made it worse when Sally and Kaze stopped arguing and looked at Tenshi shocked yet submissive. Tenshi threw glares between the two who then began to nod as if the girl had spoken. Mi saw this and had to do something or some questions may come up her Princess did not want answered.

"Pilots, I would like you to meet Sally's little sister. Haruka Tenoh you know her as Kaze Tsukino."

Wufei jumped out of his seat. "You mean this crazy onna is that crazy onna's sister!" one of the offended onna's went for him but was held back by Ru and Tenshi the other just laughed.

"Yes, Wufei. Kaze is my little sister. Just as Mi is Cathy's younger sister."

The pilots blinked at this. They hadn't even known that and Mi had been here for a few days. They were loosing their touch.

After calming down Kaze the group began to talk. The girls caught up with old times and gave the boys insight to the mystery they had labeled Tenshi. She just glared at them as they told of how she used to be a klutz, ditsy, totally clueless and brainless. Kaze had just finished telling the boys of when she and Mi first met Tenshi when a voice stopped her.

"Ha-a-a-ru-ru-ru-ru-k-ka n-n-no ba-k-ka" a voice croaked. Everyone stopped and looked around for the voice. Turning to where it came from they found a scowling Tenshi. It couldn't have been could it? Tenshi picked up her cup and took a big swallow. The looked at Sally and got a nod. Then she looked around the room and gave them a smile.

"Ho-ta-ru, Mi-chi-ru, Ha-ru-ka, Dou, Wu-fe-I, Tr-o-wa, Qu-a-t-ra." She had to stop her voice had begun to fade and she barley said Quatra's name.

"Very good, Tenshi. I see you have been practicing." Sally said proudly. Everyone was in shock to not to notice she didn't say one person's name though he did. Very quietly he snuck out of the room to his. Tenshi saw this and she chewed her bottom lip. Before she could do anything though the others came alive and either tackled her or congratulated her.

It was two hours till they had to leave. Everyone left to make sure they had everything and to send it down to where Rashid already had a truck ready for their things.

Tenshi was left in the living room. She stared down into her cup. It was now or never she had given herself a mission and she had to follow it through. She took one last sip before standing and headed for Hiiro's room. He had left his door cracked open and she could hear him tapping away at his computer. She took a deep breath and stepped in. she found him sitting on the edge of his bed laptop balanced on his crossed legs.

He didn't hear her come in till she was standing in front of him. He looked up at her. She only smiled and kneeled before him to be eye level faces only a few inches away. He watched as she closed his lap top half way to where he couldn't see the screen. He looked back at her and glared. What did she want?

Tenshi let the breath she had been holding. Closed her eyes. This was going to be hard her throat still hurt from barley saying the others names, but for him she would try.

" Yu-I, Hi-I-I-Ro. Ash-I-I-t-er-ru." She closed the gap between them and pressed her lips to his. Hiiro froze. After a few seconds or Hiiro not responding Tenshi pulled back and fled the room. When he heard her door close she snapped out of it. Only now did he realize he was suppose to kiss back. He touched his lips they were still tingling. He couldn't believe how soft they were he licked his lips, and sweet too.

He closed he laptop and made to her door unfortunately God had other plans or rather the two Kami's of death. Ru and Dou both bounded into the dorm to drag them out and to the waiting cars for the shuttle. Hiiro would only have to try again.

When tenshi came out she didn't even look in his direction. Dou and Ru were chatting and didn't notice. Tenshi brightened up though when Ru said they were taking Kaze's car. She loved that car. She grabbed Ru's hand and pulled her to the garage as fast as she could smiling though her eye's betrayed her you could see she was hurt and saddened.

The plane ride proved to be interesting. Tenshi insisted on sitting with Kaze when normally she would save Hiiro from Ririna. This time though she gave her seat to the girl and sat with Kaze. Hiiro was less than happy. He tried to get her to talk to him before and during the flight she wouldn't acknowledge him. Was she mad or hurt? He didn't know which. He was thinking about it so much that for once he didn't pull his gun on Ririna. He didn't hear a word she said or even feel what he could feel of the arm she latched on to.

He had a plan or a mission you could say for him and it would be completed at the mask.

The girls and guys had decided they would come up with their outfits alone and meet up at the party. So as soon as they landed on the colony the boys went one way and the girls the other. The guys trusted the girls to keep Ririna safe and out of their hair.

Boushomono comes out with a big pot on her head covered in pillows tied to her a trash can lid as a sheild and a baseball bat

"Alright who wants to be first? I am ready for ya take your best shot."

A tomato flies out of nowhere and hits her in the face.

" Okay, you won't hit me again." Tons of rotten vegetables and other things fly at her.

"I am sorry. Something will happen soon I promise the next chapter even. Don't kill me."

She looks around.

"Whoa, everything but the kitchen sinks."

A sink hits her and knocks her down. She give a thumbs up before passing out.
