Review Responses:

Dark Devotion- Thanks! Although, I think insane and evil kinda describes me better…

Calli Maxwell- Yep, Laury's gonna be paid back. But that's not for another few chapters. Gotta get her pushing others' buttons too…

Gundam Gurl ()- 0.o There's two of you out there? Huh, go figure... Well, I really like how you're guessing on Night Star. I nearly died laughing when I saw your review freaking out because the guys speculated on Night Star being a girl. But the truth is, they don't know. Aside from Duo, they know ABSOLUTELY NOTHING about Night Star save the mercenary and used to work with LAVA part. So the "he's" and "she's" that they mention aren't really reliable... Ya gotta look for other hints in the story!

Fate Sucks

Chapter 23

Evening. This was Laury's favorite time to pull pranks. And, since she seemed to be on a roll since the night before, Sai was on full alert, making sure nothing was amiss amongst the group. Everything SEEMED to be in order. However it also seemed that Heero, Allison, and Trowa were missing. She guessed that Allison and Trowa were hiding from Laury somewhere. So now she just needed to make sure everything was cool with Heero. And since she seemed to not be able to find him, she knew EXACTLY where he was.

Slipping between two bushes, Sai found herself on a small, secret path. She walked for a while until she found a rocky slope and climbed down it. Once down there, she found a large yet surprisingly well hidden cave. She walked inside, "Hi Heero."

Heero looked up-er, down in surprise. He was sitting on top of his Gundam, adjusting some things when the blond spoke. "What're you doing here?" he asked.

"Just making sure Laury's not trying to strike again," she answered.

"Who told you I was here?" he asked as he slid down to the cockpit for some more adjustments.

"No one." He stopped at what she said. Then how the heck did she find him? He looked down again and she grinned, reading him like a book, "What? I told you before that you're too predictable."

Heero growled, 'Damn it!'

Sai laughed and took a seat on a rock. She wasn't planning on leaving just yet. That was a tough climb down and would be even harder getting back up… So she was in no rush. She looked up at the towering mobile suits. All the Gundams were hidden in the cave, safe from any person who would just randomly explore the Sanc Kingdom. She let out a small breath, "Y'know, these things look more amazing every time I see 'em."

Heero stopped his work again, "Sounds like you've seen the Gundams on more than one occasion."

"Well, yeah. I've only been with Night Star since…forever. You think I haven't seen you guys in battle at least once?" Sai replied. "I've seen you guys fight TONS of times!"

Heero gave up trying to do the adjustments. "So…you would actually go to battle with Night Star?" he asked, jumping down and landing next to Sai (O.o() no clue how he did it…).

She nodded, "Oh yeah! Every time! The team couldn't get the goods without me there to break codes and passwords."

Heero stared at her for a second, "You're a professional hacker?"

"I guess that's a way of putting it…I can hack into any mainframe from the comfort of my own dorm," she answered with a shrug.

He said nothing for a few moments. Finally, he pushed down his pride and spoke, "Remember when you helped me with my arm?"

"What about it?" Sai asked.

Heero took a deep breath; this was harder than it looked! "I was trying to hack into a copy of New Oz's mainframe. I was wondering if you… could… help… mmmmmm-"

Sai laughed and stopped him, "Sure, I'll help!"

Heero nodded and walked over to beside Wing Zero. He picked up his laptop and pulled out the disk. Sai took it and put it in her jacket pocket before giving Heero a slight nod, "I'll get right on it. Try not to stay up too late, k?"

With that, she started the long walk back to the dorms. Had she turned around, she would've seen Heero open his mouth and quickly shut it again. She didn't need to know THAT…

Sai let out a sigh as she squeezed between the bushes and back onto the academy grounds. A noise from the shadows caught her attention and she silently crept up to whatever it was. When she got close enough, she smirked and silently crept away. 'Well, there's no need to wonder whereTHOSE twoare now!' she thought as she moved away from the unaware pair and back towards the dorm.

7 love it. 1 hates it. What do you think? Review it! Till next time!
