Your Life or Mine
Chapter 1
"Hmmm...That's a hard one. I swear it is." the angry blond said sarcastically.
Rei blinked in suprise, but held the gun steady.
"Well, now. Don't you want to let me go? I don't even know the people that were chasing me. All I want to know is that I really want to know what's on these papers." Darien said cheerfully.
"Well you should." the blond finished for him and quickly went into action. She tossed the gun into her other hand, careful to keep it from firing, turned half-way around and kicked the gun out of Rei's hand. Catching the gun she took two steps backwards and pointed the guns at the siblings.
"Now, is anyone going to tell me what I want to know?" she demanded.
"Like what?" Rei asked, perfectly honest.
"How 'bout we start with why you broke into my apartment, then move on to who the hell you people are." the blond said, still somewhat angry.
"Oh. Well, I could bring the heliocopter high enough for the wannabe spy guy here to jump on the roof, your window was the next best thing." Rei said grinning at her brother.
"Hey, I don't think that's fair!" Darien said in mock protest.
"Live with it." the blond stated simply mirth reflecting in her eyes.
"Ok, then. Onto your other question! I'm Darien, 25, the, what was it again Rei? wannabe spy guy?" Rei nodded happily. "and she's my sister Rei"
"How old are you Rei?" the blond said eyes narrowing suspiciously.
"23" Rei said simply.
"Good, you aren't the Rei that I heard so much about from my buddies." the blond stated in relief.
*Cough*
"Oh yes, sorry about that." the blond said cheerfully and put the safties on the guns. She held the one that Rei had out and tucked her gun safely in her shoulder holster.
"Now, I'm just curious, but why do you have gun?" Darien said suspiciously.
"Hmm... I don't really want to answer that. Let's just say I need some protection in what I do."
'Cop' mouthed Darien to Rei. Rei nodded once and turned her attention back to the blond at hand.
Catching their furtive glance and the motion of Rei she cut in, "I'm not a cop if that's what you're thinking. I'm not a bodyguard either" she added thoughtfully when she caught them staring at her.
"So we've told you our names, so how about yours?" Darien said with chagrin.
"Serena" she said simply.
"No codenames or anything?" Rei questioned. For someone who looked only to be in her early twenties she seemed to be very discerning.
"If you stay with me maybe..." Serena said with a grin. "Now, about my apartment..."
"What about it?" Darien said surprised.
"Well, I have some stuff that I'd like to take with me..." she stated quietly.
"Whatever." Darien said imagining lingerue and skirts and whatnot.
"Perv." Rei said, smacking her brother on the shoulder.
"Hey! How would you know what I'm thinking!" Darien said in mock indignance.
"Because she apparently knows you too well." Serena interuppted. "We might as well come back at night, they're still up there raiding my room. Let's go, I have another place where we can stay."
"Wait, who said anything about staying with you?" Rei demanded.
"Only if you want to, but I'm almost sure that you'd have to." Serena stated simply, gesturing towards the lake and the vehicles still present around it.
"Well we could always sleep in the hangar, after all my tech stuff is in there with a high notch security system." Rei said. She looked at Darien "What do ya think bro?"
'Hmm... Tough decision, go seduce the blond or go sleep in the hangar where Rei got the chopper from...' Darien thought, 'or better yet, go to the hangar, grab my stuff, then seduce the blond!' He smiled, "How about we go to the hangar and grab some stuff, then head to her place?" Darien suggested.
"It works, I guess... but we might have some trouble later on with our choice in vehicles." Rei said slowly.
"It's covered, my buddy will have everything we need. Although it'd probably be better if we stopped at my place first." Serena stated simply and walked around to the garage of the apartment complex.
Rei and Darien both nodded and followed Serena around the complex. Serena stopped just before the gate to the garage and turned around.
"Now I hope both of you are good drivers." Serena said quietly.
"What?" Darien said confused.
"I have two cars and one motorcycle." Serena stated simply. "Either Rei or I have to drive the motorcycle, and you get one of the cars." she continued pointedly.
(AN people have diff. cycles to match certain heights.)
"Uhhh... Ok." Rei said questions ready to come flowing out of her mouth.
"Come on then." Serena turned and grabbed an arm from Darien and Rei and dragged them into the garage. She pulled her shirt up just a bit and unzipped a small bag that was strapped flat to her stomach. She gestured to her cars and bike and looked back at Rei and Darien. They were shocked to say the least, Serena owned a Black and Red Honda CBR500 motorcycle, a Navy colored specialized toyota supra (look this car up if you wanna see some kewl cars), and a noticebaly modified Forest Green Honda 2000. However Darien was the first to shake off his disbelief and chose the toyota supra. Rei stared at Serena a few more seconds and started walking over to the Honda 2000. Serena threw her keys to them and motioned for them to wait. She walked over to the wall and tapped it a few times. The wall swung open to reveal a racer's suit and a helmet. She put this on and slid the helmet on as she walked back to the cars.
"Get in the cars and turn them on" Serena said, her voice muffled by the helmet.
Rei and Darien obliged and looked at her for further instructions. Serena turned away and started the bike. She tapped her helmet once and started speaking.
"Okay, follow me." Serena said, her voice coming through a small, almost invisible panel in the car. Darien and Rei stared at her, once again, in shock and quickly buckled in. Serena nodded once and sped off towards her "safe hideout." At a stop light Darien and Rei each pressed a button, on blue, and one green. A small door popped open in each car to reveal a headset, of their own respective colors. Darien and Rei both put them on and spoke.
"This is really weird..." Rei said, trying to see if anyone could hear her.
Darien was about to say the exact same thing when his sister beat him to it.
"I agree Rei." Darien said calmly. He looked over to the rolled down window of the Honda and found her staring at him. Laughing he continued to talk.
"So, Rei... How about you shut that window and stop looking at me like i'm a convict or something."
With that Rei rolled up her window and sped off to follow Serena, who had shot off the line at the first sight of the green light. Darien followed closely, but still found it hard to keep up with Serena.
"We're almost there..." Serena said, her voice echoing in Rei and Darien's ears.

Hey Readers! I've been kinda busy as of late, and probably will be pretty busy again in just a week or two (Sats then midterms and SAT II, AP, etc), but I'm taking the opportunity to update this story, and maybe The Exchange Student.
Wow, that was a horrible run on sentence. Well, anyways, enjoy the chapter and PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE! REVIEW. Otherwise I might not find out if you guys and gals are blowing steam in my general direction.
