Rei pressed her face against the cold window as the streets, old familiar friends of hers, passed by. She had left Usagi with Duo, somehow both girls felt comfortable with this pretty, amusing boy, though she knew and Usagi didn't, how deadly he was. Hiiro was in the front seat driving, while Wufei sat in the passenger seat, and Quatre shared the backseat with Rei. She sat up and looked ahead as they changed directions drastically. Her eyes met Hiiro's in the rear view moment before she wrenched away her eyes. Hiiro shifted his gaze to Quatre, on Rei's right.
"Why is Rei coming anyway?" Rei smiled to herself. It was great progress from the pronouns Hiiro usually used. She waited for Quatre's reply and Hiiro's reaction.
"Rei's signing up with us. We'll show Treize what she can do, and he'll put her on call with us."
"Quatre won't let us stay here for free, afterall." Rei explained, smirking slightly. Quatre had of course offered free board, but had also correctly counted on Rei not to accept any charity.
"Huh. I'm sure Treize will be excited."
"Who is this guy anyway?" Rei asked, still not fully understanding the history of this group or this world.
"As you've probably guessed, he's our boss, in a way. Hiiro still hates him, because he was our enemy in the old wars. Anyways, he's good at what he does. However, he's not really the excitable type."
"You haven't seen Rei fight."
"He will in a second. Something's coming. From above."
"A friend of yours?"
"One of those monsters after me and Usagi? Yes."
The next moment, they all heard the thud of a figure landing on the vehicle's roof, and the scrape of claws on the metal. Hiiro hit the gas, and they went speeding under the highway, the creature on the roof was knocked off the top and fell to the ground, effectively stopping traffic anyway, so no one really noticed when Hiiro made a swift U-turn, and came to a halt, quickly jumping out of the car, the others rapidly following suit. A large black demon stood in front of them, wings extended, and claws out. A steady stream of red fire poured out of Rei's outstretched arms, as her instincts took over. The flood of flame didn't hit the demon straight on, however, it wasn't fast enough to avoid so much fire. The beast took it all on its right wing, basically destroying its flight capabilities.
"Geez, these things are inefficient. If I ever get wings, they'll have armor."
"Er...Rei, can we talk about your future plans later? Because, I have a feeling that a gun won't work to well on one of these things."
"Right. Here take this." The same sword slid out of her hand, and she threw it to Hiiro. "Blades work." If on cue, two curved katanas slid out of sheaths in Wufei's sleeves and he seemed to take well to this sort of fighting, he danced in and out of the goblin's reach while Rei and Hiiro carefully crept around behind it. It was strange in a way, the seamless teamwork, although their entire relationship had been only a rocky one of a week or so. Suddenly, Rei and Hiiro swerved silently aside, Rei to set the left wing on fire, tearing it with her fire- ringed arrows, while Hiiro jumped onto the monster's back, and plunged the sword deep into its back, then jumped off, yanking the sword downward, effectively tearing the bottom half of the creature in half. The three hopped out of the way, as it fell to the ground. Rei motioned Hiiro and Wufei away from the carcass while a stream of marked papers flew from her hand, landing all over the body. She reached down to touch one, and soon the entire thing was in ashes. She turned around, walking away in disgust when she gasped, something akin to panic crossing her face. "Usagi - they're attacking her too..."
A/N: I know. It's really beem forever, and I'm sorry, and no, there's no fluffiness in this chapter...but there was some action, and okay, so it was pretty short, but short rather than none, eh? I'm still working on my actual plot, enemies, etc...but I am actually writing again, so that's okay. Don't ask about the whole Treize being alive. I think I've mentioned it (or maybe I haven't) that both halves of the crossover are bound to be slightly AU, so there you go. I think I may have the next chapter ready a little bit sooner. Please review, and thanks for all the old.
