Fate Sucks
Chapter 3
"Remind me again why we're doing this?" Duo asked as he and the rest of the Gundam pilots walked around the school grounds of the Sanc Kingdom academy.
Heero drowned out Wufei's complaint of an answer with thought's and alertness for one certain princess. He was okay with the Sanc Kingdom and Relina was a good leader, but she was just too . . . Relina. And after the revolt of L3-X18999, she had become far too clingy. He could certainly do without seeing her.
During their walk/Wufei's rant, Heero spotted Relina once, but managed to duck away before she could see him. They were now walking towards an empty part of the grounds. Heero decided to let his "Relina guard" down for the moment.
" . . . And now, so that we can take out the damn weaklings, we're being forced to go look for some weak woman so she can tell us where some coward of a mercenary is so that he can tell us exactly HOW to take out these damn weaklings!" Wufei finished his rant.
"Hey buddy, watch the name calling!" The group turned around to see none other than the one they were looking for. Sai was wearing white slacks and a navy blue shirt. She had her hair loosely tied back and a practice katana in hand.
A bit of drool dribbled down the left corner of Duo's mouth, "She's beautiful . . ."
Sai smirked and leaned forward, "'She' doesn't like to be talked about in the third person when 'she' is around."
Trowa pushed the still drooling Duo aside for the moment, "Sorry about him; he has a big mouth but a little brain working it. (Duo: "Hey!") Allow me to introduce myself, I'm-"
"'Trowa Barton' or that's your code name at least, I know," Sai interrupted, "You were most definitely ranked among the most difficult people Night Star had me keep track of during the war." She laughed at the pilots' shocked expression, "Oh, don't look so surprised! That IS why you came, isn't it? Everyone always tries to get me to reveal the secret that is Night Star." A teasing grin stole on to her face, "Well, too bad! I'm not telling!"
"Oh yes you are!" Wufei growled, unsheathing his own katana, "I challenge you to a duel! When I win, you'll tell us exactly what we want to know!"
Sai shrugged carelessly, "Well, if that's the way it'll be, I'm gonna have to just turn down that challenge, now wont I?"
"Weak woman," Wufei scoffed.
Sai smirked, "If I was as weak as you claim me to be, that MIGHT actually affect me."
Wufei popped a vein, "Why you-!"
"Take it easy Wu-man! Can't gain information from a dead person!" Duo exclaimed.
Sai grinned, 'For a guy with a little brain, that Duo knows how it is. I better take it easy on that Wufei fellow, though. That look was the same one I gave . . .'
Her thoughts were interrupted when Quatre bowed politely, "I am truly sorry about him, Ms. Moonblaze.
The blond girl's eyes turned kind and friendly when resting on the Arabian pilot, "Well, I kinda brought it on myself; there's no need to apologize. But please, it's just Sai."
Heero watch as Quatre proceeded to have a pleasant conversation with this Sai person. This woman was unbelievable! One second she was perfectly cool-headed, then the next she was playfully feisty, and now she was acting like one of the sweetest girls you would ever meet. He frowned to himself; if her attitude kept changing, it would be more difficult than he thought to complete his mission . . .
"Heero!" came a shrill voice. 'Damn it!' Heero mentally kicked himself as Relina ran up and clung to his arm. "Heero, where have you been! You were in my kingdom and didn't tell me? Oh, I know! I'm just so busy that you couldn't find me and were actually looking for me! Oh Heero, that's so sweet of you!" she rambled on and on.
Heero gave the guys a pleading look, but they were already trying their best to hide behind different trees and rocks. The only one left was Sai who was giving Relina the 'Are you really that big of an idiot?' look. She looked at the 'Heero in distress' and shrugged.
'Might as well . . .' she thought, putting on her too cool mask. "Your new boy-toy, princess?" she asked, jerking Relina back to reality.
Relina whipped around, momentarily letting go of Heero's now numb arm, "Y-You!"
Sai waved a finger disappointedly, "Now, now princess, it's bad grammar to leave a sentence unfinished."
Relina clung onto Heero's arm again before he could escape, this time tighter, "Oh, leave us alone! Can't you see that Heero and I are in the middle of a conversation?"
Sai scratched her head, "Uhh . . . aren't conversations supposed to involve two or more people talking? It seemed to me that you were the only one talking, and it's not even because Mr. Yuy there doesn't have anything to say. In fact, if you gave him a chance to talk, I'm sure Mr. Yuy would say something like: 'Let go of my arm; the feeling left it about ten minutes ago!'"
Relina looked up at Heero whose faceremained expressionlessbefore letting go and stomping up to Sai, "I don't know who you think you are, but you better think twice before trying to steal this princess's man, missy!" With that, she stomped off towards the school building.
Sai watched her go and rolled her eyes, "Please! Like you actually have a man for me to steal!" She looked at Heero, "Or does she actually think that you're her man?"
"That's exactly what it is," Trowa said, trying to resist a chuckle.
"I have NEVER seen Relina loose her cool like that!" Duo laughed, deciding that he liked this girl of a thousand faces. He put his arm around her shoulder, "You and I are gonna get along just great!"
Sai looked at Duo's hand resting on her shoulder, then at him, "Well, that's very nice to know. But could you please wipe your mouth; you've got drool everywhere."
