Kurenai -2

Heero stared at the girls that stood in a small group nearby laughing and talking to one another. He took note of their constant looking at him and turning around again to start talking and giggling again. These actions left him without a doubt that all of it was about him. The foolish act of looking and talking was annoying him and made him wonder why they bothered to do so. The chair across from him was pulled out and moved back up slightly as Quatre took a seat as well. Heero continued to stare at the girls, trying to figure out why they stood there and talked amongst themselves about him and now Quatre. One girl looked over at the table causing Quatre to smile back at her, once again the group started talking even more.

"They seem to have an interest in you, Heero," Quatre looked over at Heero as he continued to stare at the girls.

"I have no interest in them," Heero looked over at Quatre,"From what Noin says it looks like this place is going to come crashing down soon."

"I see, then what should our next move be?"

"A move from us would only verify what they think and I'm sure they have no problem with just coming in here and clearing this area. If we can't attack them first then we're going to have to wait for them to attack us, its our only option," Heero glanced over to see a new comer to the group and looked back at Quatre. Quatre had also noticed that Dorothy was in the group of girls chatting with them and quickly looked down at the table.

"Its too bad that such a beautiful place is eventually going to be destroyed," Quatre looked over once again to see Dorothy staring at the two with the other girls.

"She's proving to be a problem," Heero stated as he got out of his seat and pushed the chair back into its place.

Quatre looked up at Heero as he stared over at the giggling girls once more, "That may be true, Heero, but I don't think she's as bad as she appears to be. As a matter of fact, I'm sure of it."

Heero looked at Quatre, not bothering to ask what the boy based his words on. His Prussian blues turned away from Quatre and looked over towards Noin to catch her waving at the two.

"Appearances mean nothing. I'm sure she's here for something else other than what she says she's here for," his eyes narrowed a bit, "Keep watching her."

Heero then proceeded to leave the blond and talk else where with Noin. Being there was starting to become very uncomfortable and even more so once Quatre finally looked at who was poking him. There it was, time had stopped and the twittering of the other girls just became background noise in that instant. Before he could even take in a breath to start the conversation off she cut him off.

"I wanted to ask you to come study with me in the library later today. I found that I haven't really gotten some of the material covered in class and I knew well enough that you would be able to assist me, that is...unless you're busy?"

Dorothy's question hit him hard and almost made him want to accuse her up front about everything Heero and he had talked about pertaining to her. The way she had asked it to him was as if she wasn't even going to go out of her way to cover her intentions at all. The situation had suddenly made it difficult for him to even find the right words to answer her question without her suspecting him of anything. If he went along with her then he would be able to keep an eye on her and find out more about what she was really up to, but then she would notice something was up. If he didn't then he wouldn't be able to convince Heero that she wasn't what he was suspecting she was. Either way he had to watch her, not act strangely and most of all not in any way give the slightest hint that he was a gundam pilot. With thoughts going all over the place he had forgotten to answer her question in a timely fashion until one of the girls reminded him.

"Why aren't you answering!"

"I bet he's just stunned that Dorothy asked him!"

"It does kinda sound like a date..."

Quatre hadn't thought of the situation in that way but was sure that Dorothy wanted to pass it off as something like that and if that was true then perhaps he could do the same then. He cleared his throat, stood up as the right words formed in his head, and looked at the other blonde in the face.

"Miss Catalonia, if there is something that you feel I can assist you with then I'll do my best to be there and help you," he smiled at her getting little to no response.

"Well then I expect you to be there at exactly two, alone of course," she replied with an air around her that appeared as though she didn't care if he had accepted in the first place.

"I'll do my best to be there even ten minutes earlier," he smiled once more and started to leave, "I hope you all have a nice day."

"Oh I'll try to, Quatre!", one of the girls yelled to him waving with a couple of other girls. Dorothy said nothing to him nor acknowledged his leaving at all, only watching as he disappeared inside the school. The whole thing had disappointed her this time, unlike the last time they spoke to one another. She had felt he was cornered by the end of the previous conversation yet this time it felt like he was simply playing along fine with her even though she was certain he would have declined the offer in the first place. She sat down in the chair he had left, crossed her arms over her chest and tried to come up with as many scenarios as possible for their two o' clock meeting.

Heero didn't like the news that Noin had informed him about and was sure that he was the only one that she had told so far. All eyes set on Sanq Kingdom not only because of Relena's ideals but also because of him and Quatre. How long could they keep these reports from Relena? The question had occurred to him several times though he knew it was for the best that she knew as little as possible about the reality outside of her kingdom. When they had arrived at Sanq Kingdom he was unsure that they could depend on the neutrality of the kingdom to hide them and now was certain with Dorothy's arrival that the Romefeller Foundation knew no boundaries to get what they wanted. Relena was busy chasing her dream of peace while he was busy piloting a weapon that goes against her ideals. Simply being there was starting to lose its meaning since it was a certainty that even with neutrality the kingdom would fall in the end and all Relena was doing would most likely go to waste. He continued to think about his current situation and where to go after it was over as he walked past the girl that was the main subject of such thoughts. Relena turned around and caught a glimpse of him unsure if she should talk with him or not. She shook her head after awhile and continued in the opposite direction.

Dorothy walked through the rows of book shelves while looking around every now and then to find Quatre, predicting he wouldn't show up and make an excuse to get out of the planed study session giving her the upper hand next time they spoke. Looking over to her right as she was going to stop looking he sat at a table turning the page of a book he was engrossed in. She took a seat in front of him as he looked up from the book and made eye contact with her.

"It seems that you are late, Miss Catalonia," he closed the book and smiled at her.
