Finally the last bell rang signaling the end of the school day. Quickly grabbing his bag Tai shot out of his seat and was out of the classroom before anyone else stood up. Walking to his locker, Tai's mood kept getting darker and darker. His thoughts kept cyclilling back to when the ex-gundam pilots walked into his second period class. But more importantly, he wanted to know why they showed up? And of all the places in the world why did it have to be his hometown? That one question had been running through his head ever since they showed up in his second period class.

There were probably a million reasons that could answer that question, but he couldn't figure out which one it was. Throwing his schoolbooks into his locker Tai grabbed his soccer ball and slammed the locker shut. Thus scaring some of his fellow students. To them Tai was acting very strange, completely out of character. And sure Tai knew he wasn't acting like his usual self, but he didn't give a damn at the moment as he walked out to the playing field.

Looking around Tai noticed nobody else was on the field so he was free to just let lose completely. Letting the ball drop from his hands Tai bounced it off his knees, head, and off of his chest for a few minutes before letting it hit the ground. He dribbled the soccer ball down the field, dodged imaginary opponents, and then pulling a few stunts before slowing down a little near the goal net. Pulling back his leg, Tai hit the ball into the net, actually it went through the net. Resting his hands on his knees Tai drew in a shaky breath.

Tai wasn't out of shape or anything; just having everything happen at once was just a little too much to handle at this point in time for him. Trying to deal with his new found feelings for his best friend Yamato, keeping those feelings secret from the group, and now... His fellow ex-gundam pilots showing up. The stress was finally getting to him. Standing up straight Tai walked behind the net to retrieve his soccer ball. Unfortunately Tai hadn't noticed the audience he had had since he'd been running down the field.

"Hey Tai!" Shouted one of the people who had been watching him.

Tai dropped his soccer ball recognizing the voice. Snapping up he looked around for the speaker. Finally his eyes landed on four very familiar people who were watching from the sidelines. This turn of events didn't do any good for his mood. The people were none other than Quatre, Duo, WuFei, and Trowa.

Earlier....

Duo was waiting for the others by his locker. While waiting his mind kept wandering back to the one student with spiky hair who reminded him of Heero. But that was impossible because Heero had died... or that's what the reports had said anyway. So the possibility of this Tai guy actually being Heero were very unlikely.

Shaking his head to banish any other thought like that, Duo let his mind wander to the reason why the others and himself were here. Headquarters' wanted to know what was going on in Tokyo. With all these strange reports about monsters and what not.

Also to find out if the gundam's would be needed to help deal with this supposed problem. He blinked once when something flashed quickly into his line of vision. Duo jerked his head back hitting it against the locker, then noticing it had been a hand that flashed in front of his face.

"Itta...." Duo moaned as he rubbed the back of his hand. Glaring at the offender, he let a growl escape his throat noticing that it had been WuFei who had drug him back to harsh reality.

"Dammit Wu-man what was that for?" He growled out. 'Stupid damned sexy Chinese... Whoa! Okay Duo stop, halt, do not go pass go. WuFei does NOT swing that way.' A sad look flitted across Duo's face before being quickly replaced by his ever-present joker mask. 'Hope WuFei didn't notice...'

WuFei frowned on the inside when he noticed the sad look flash across Duo's face only to be replaced with his usual goofy grin. He felt a strong urge to comfort Duo but he pushed it aside knowing that the other would never accept him like that.

"Come on Maxwell. Quatre and Trowa are waiting for us by the front doors." WuFei said as he completely ignored being called Wu-man just this once.

"Wha? I though we were gonna meet by my locker." Duo said now completely confused. One being WuFei didn't yell at him for calling him Wu-man. And two when did they decide to meet at the front doors. 'Why doesn't anybody tell me anything!?'

"We were, but the others noticed that the one kid who resembles Heero walked over to the soccer field. They want to talk to him." WuFei had replied as he walked down the hallway knowing Duo would catch up in no time.

Duo stood by his locker blinking for a few seconds before running up to WuFei and falling into step beside him. 'So I'm not the only one that thinks that... I wonder if that Tai kid reminds WuFei of Heero, just like he reminds me of him.'

"So WuFei you think that this kid is either Heero or maybe just connected him somehow?" Duo asked as he put his hands behind his head.

WuFei took a side-glance at Duo hearing his name fall so naturally from those full lips; it sent an invisible shiver up his spine. Getting control over his emotions he answered Duo. "From what I could tell his aura is almost exactly like Heero's but it's slightly off. So he could just be connected to Heero somehow, like a forgotten family member."

Duo just nodded as he opened the front door of the school. Stepping out he noticed Quatre and Trowa leaning up against the school talking to each other in hushed voices. 'They make a cute couple.' "Hey Kat, Tro wassup?"

Looking up Trowa just nodded in reply while Quatre grinned at Duo and WuFei who was standing to the side behind him. "Not much Duo."

"So are we gonna go check out this Tai kid or what?" Duo asked as he stretched his arms out. WuFei rolled his eyes as he lightly cuffed Duo on the head.

"Hey!"

Quatre shook his head and tugged on Trowa's arm lightly. "Come on guys, or he might be gone before we get there at this rate."

With his maniac grin in place Duo grabbed WuFei by the arm and practically drug him in the direction of the soccer field. Upon arriving there they saw Tai dribbling the soccer ball up the field at an incredible speed. Needless to say they were all shocked when they saw the soccer ball go through the net.

"Wow..." That one little word that Duo had said summed it all up for the others as well. They were impressed. They all watched, as Tai seemed to catch his breath, and then walk over to pick up his soccer ball. Unfortunately for Tai, Duo choose the same exact moment he picked up his ball to yell at him. "Hey Tai!"

Although Tai's reaction shocked them somewhat, he had froze dropping his ball, and snapped up looking around wildly for who had yelled at him. Duo's guess was he hadn't noticed that anybody was watching him. But the one thing that puzzled him the most now was when Tai's eyes landed on them, he didn't look all too happy to see them.
