Duo was acting extremely weird when she went to breakfast, after living a week with them she felt positive she now knew their personalities, that was all but the silent roomate.

As she grabbed a muffin from the press, Duo came out of his room. His hands clenching and unclenching.

If that wasnt weird enough, then the fact that he was wearing what looked to be preppy clothes would have alarmed her enough. Duo only ever seemed to wear leather or denium and baggy sweat shirts that still managed to show of his ever so slightly bulging biseps and hinted at the kind of torso most guys had to work hard for.

Pacing the common room, he gradually became aware of her presence and with a smile carelessly thrown in her direction, she grabbed her books and made her way to class.

School was perfect, as long as she got to class on time, she could normally revise and be ready for the classes with teachers who were notorious for pop quizes. Thanks to Ami and her studying technique's which she had passed on to all the girls, they were all achieving at least High B's in ever class, some only got A's. Who was she kidding, getting an A on her tests made her so happy, her parents could no longer complain she wasnt working hard enough and she had even been told that they were boasting about her all around Japan.

Yesterday she had recieved a letter from Andrew, someone had supposedly told her old teacher Mrs Haruna about her achieveing such high grades and Mrs H had wanted proof of this. When she was shown the scores she fainted dead off.

Grinning she could feel her mood lifting, it was all worth it to make that old bat faint. Her worries about Duo all but forgotten as she sat down in class and became engrossed in the lecture.

Chemistry was just so interesting, not to mention it came in handy when adjusting her cars to make them run smoother.

*************************************************************************************************

Down at the leisure centre, Wu fei taught his students. He was one of the hardest teachers there and people had a hard time believeing that he was capable enough to teach a class but then again his achievements in the last year had more then proved his worth.

Pushing open the door, getting ready to take a break, he saw that Heero, Duo and Trowa were all coming in through the front door most likely going for a work out if the duffel bags were any indication.

Giving their names at the desk and their membership number they made their way into the locker room, and getting changed went into the weights room with the two way mirror. This room was especially for them, thanks to Quatra owning a major percentage of the business, and they liked being able to pass judgement on people or if they were really bored play one of Duo's games.

Sitting down on the bench and adjusting the weights accordingly Heero stood over Trowa and spotted him, while duo sat into the arm curl after adding the weights he wanted and began to work out.

Wu fei just sat in the corner on one of the balls, contemplating why they had come down but not really wanting to ask why in case it was something he didnt want to know about.

After an hour he was getting ready to get back to work when Duo abruptly stopped, a fine sheen of sweat on his muscles.

Wipping a towel across his face, he got up and let Heero take his place. Leaning down he took a long swallow of water before turning eyes that were slightly twitching on to each of them.

"Do any of you want to go racing tonight? Millardo is supposed to be having a major blow out tonight. Supposed to be major money riding." He all but growled and it now became clear to Wu fei why they had come down.

They were trying to calm Duo down before he did something stupid like get in another fight. He occassionally got A kind of storm euphorpia only this wasnt due to a storm, but due to an certain alignement in the stars.

It only happened rarely but when it did it took all of them to keep him from doing something stupid.

The last time he had it they had been at a formula one race and he had been ancy all day. They hadnt know what was wrong with him, so it was no wonder that he had somehow ended up in the middle of a road on a formula one race track while a race was going on. He had been going after some pop corn that had blown out of his bag. Thankfully that had been six years ago and they hadnt seen it since. But they all remembered.

Nodding his head Wu fei said "Sure, what we racing. Bike or car?" he needed some money anyway. He hadnt been out in ages, and he had seen the most slamming alloys and twenty inch wheels down in the garage last week.

Shrugging his shoulders, Duo countered "Either or both. I'll be trying out Shingami tonight anyway. Finished the adjustments on thursday and want to see how they work out."

Raising an eye brow at both Trowa and Heero he was surprised when they both actually deened to answer him with something other then a nod of "Hnn" as they both seemed at certain stages to be the only words in theur vocabulary's at times.

"Sure" they both aanswered. Flexing their fingers, Duo heard the bones crack before Trowa smiled an extremly sinister smile. "I feel like making some blowhards part with their money."

Smiling Duo walked over to him and slapping him on the shoulder retorted "They suppose to have some new racers in. Innocent blood!" this was accompanied by such a mischevious smile that he got them all laughing in no time. He even managed to get small grin out of Heero.

Laughing Wu fei left them.

Turning to the window, he spotted three babes walk in and calling the guys over they watched in astonishement.

Mina lifted a hand to her neck and did a small stretch before sitting down on the bench and putting her arms up so the could reach the lat pull down station, which she used so often. It built up her upper back and shoulders and at the moment that was what she needed most. Ever since the last attack in Japan, she had felt herself growin weak up there and for her attacks she really needed up there to be strong.

Lita set the thread mill to a six minute mile and warming up first she stepped on and started to run with a dtermined look on her face.

Ami stood to the side noticing all the attention her friends were getting. Six feet of pure model female material, outlined in skin tight leggings and sports bra, they would have made an impact nomatter were they went.

She was oblivious to the admiring looks she got as she wrapped her hands in white wrap and carefully checked it by squeexing her wrists.

Stepping on to the wooden floor she kicked of her shoes and started to dance around on the spot before taking her first swing at the punching bag.

Roundhouse kicks and upper cuts followed until even the guys that were looking out from behind the glass were impressed.

Turning Duo looked at the them, Heero was his normal stotic self but Trowa seemed to be fascinated by the brunette. Although they were to far away to see their faces clearly, they could clearly see their bodies and by god it wouldnt surprise him if they were models.

Catching both guys attention, he asked "What do you think those three girls do for a living?"

Pointing them out he made his guess's after much thought or at least the most he was going to give in his slightly adjataited state.

Pointing to the blue haired one he made his way around for the worked in a kind of line.

"She would probably be a fitness instructor, the one running is probably a track runner and as for the blonde well she just has to be a model."

Shaking his head Heero disagreed "I agree with the one that is sitting down, but the other two are probably cops. They have that air about them."

Trowa shook his head sadly "No, i havent got a clue what they actually do but i have to say that whatever they do keeps them in the best of shape." A dopey grin appeared on his face as he twisted his head to the side and looked at the bouncing shape that was running. "Very good shape"

Settling back down they began to work some more but their minds were no longer occupied by the work out.

*************************************************************************************************

Grabbing her jacket from the closet, Usagi wrote a short note to the guys telling them she would be out for the night. They seemed to worry about her and she found that she liked them more for acting the big brother then if they had started to act like overly protective dad's, although more fit dads she could not imagine.

Walking lowly down the stairs she found herself nearly toppling at the heels she had on, but she had been warned to dress up by her contact and she wanted to make a good impressioon. So she wore her normal black leather pants with the criss cross of silver string over her crotch area were her zip should have been, with her dark red burgundy corset and her hair up in a roll on her head. Nobody would have any idea how hard it was to actually get it up that way.. If she had to walk through a metal detector now then it would surely go off, she had so many clips in her hair.

Leather buckled gloves with the fingers could out were on each hand and she had applied a fake tattoo on her right arm of a celtic cross.

She had warned the girls to dress similarly, so when she went into the dorm she wasnt surprised to see them each wearing leather pants, corsets that ranged from black to purple and their driving gloves even thought only one of them were planning on riding tonight but you never knew.

Shoving on their jackets, Mina came out of her room, with her hair in a tight plait down to the middle of her back and then left loose the rest of the way.

Grabbing their keys of the hook they took to the road, Usagi leading the way with the lights under neat the cars all on, and Mina's bike passing in and our through them until she was driving up along her sister and staying there without any problem.

Passing the road closed signs they went down a narrow alley street and turned into a road that was already filling up with people. Driving close to the top after moving people out of their way with the reeving of motors and for the people at the back the back lash of the blue flame they parked to the side and grabbing their dark sun glasses from their passenger seats they got out.

Walking around they noticed amany cars and silently compared them to their own, nearly always finding their cars superior.

Walking up to a man that was taking cash from four guys she wrapped her arms around is waist and standing slighly of her heals whispered mock seductively "Hey there lover boy, not going to say hello to an old friend?"

Turning around faster then she had thought possible he grabbed her by the waist and swung her around, only setting her down when the world spun so much she had to hold on to him for a few seconds to get her balance.

Stepping back they touched fists to each others hands and he smiled "For you Usagi, saying hello would not be enough." Looking over her shoulder he noticed the group of girls behind her and said "Who are these pretty ladies?" Laughing eyes took the sting out of the chauvinistic statement.

Looking behind her she called them forward with a twitch of her finger.

"This is my crew, Mina, Lita, Rei and Ami. Mina is going to be racing tonight if they're are any good racers here." Looking into his confused face she clarfied "You may also know them as the bullet squad!" Comprehension entered his face, and he smiled openly at them admiration in his slighly squinted eyes.

"Who dosen't know of them? They are famous through out the californian and european circuits." Grinning because he knew of their liking to have their own parties sometimes,he asked "So what you been up to since you got here?" He looked at Ami as he spoke so she ansered after a confirming look towards Usagi "Setting up our own garage and race track." Her tone implied it was nothing much but those around them who had been evesdropping opened their mouths in shock. It had taken many the host of the races a good few months to find venues for the races and these girls who had only been here a while already had a garage and track up and running.

Lita stepped forward at this, Looking Millardo up and down she said "Well, we having a race next friday night at the old airport on root twenty four if you want to come."

Nodding his head, Millardo looked at these girls with respect. He had never seen them race but one of his contacts had and from what he could pick up it was a sight worth seeing.

"I wouldn't miss it for the world. Whose racing?"

This time Usagi answered, "We're not sure yet, we're looking for some good drivers to race tonight, so if they good they get an invite, if they ain't got an invite then they dont race. All the girls will be driving that night and Haruka has agreed to come."

Blonde eye brows raised at this and his voice strong with disbelief he queried "You got HARUKA TENOU to actually agree to come to this?"

At their nods, his respect grew for them and he hadnt even seen them race.

Looking at his watch he walked over to the line of cars at the front after saying good bye to the girls.

Finding a place on the side walk they watched as the four cars lined up and took off.

Ami took out a pen from her jacket and began to write down some notes, while looking up ever so often to check on some car driver that could be good.

Shaking her head at the first race, she muttered under her breath "Definately amateurs!"

*************************************************************************************************

Pulling up to the turn of for the garage, Duo leaned to the side and took the turn at a close angle, his knee touching the ground before he straightened up.

Two bikes followed him but at a more leisurly pace, followed by two suped up convertibles with spoliers on the back in dark Blue with silver stripes down the side and a red car with flames climbing the sides and ninteen inch wheel with silver alloys, blue and red lighting under each.

People jumped out of the way as Duo's bike came into view of the race goers, he may not be dangerous in the traditional sense but they had all learned the hard way that he could and would scare the crap out of you if you did something to upset him.

Pulling up to the front, greeting those that knew them with a wave, they stopped. Somebody had parked in their spaces.

Parking on the opposite side they walke over ready to investigate the four cars and one bike that took up their spaces.

Each guy went to teh vechicle that most appealed to them although if they were honest with themselves they wouldnt mind driving any of them if they could only see what was under the bonnet, although the outside was something to look at and admire.

Wu fei went to the first one and ran his hand over the paint work on the side and bonet. It was definatley the work of a pro. The car, a red Evo with dark red, orange and gold on the bonnet forming a flame that looked so real you could feel yourself geting hot looking at it.

Red spoilers at the back, silver alloys on nineteen inch wheels, and the car lowered to within an inch of the ground. It made such an appealing picture to him that he wondered who was the driver and would he consider racing for pink slips.

Admiring the car he failed to notice the bit of drool that had come out of his mouth or that his hands were doing a good impression of someone who was planning something bad.

Trowa stood next to a dark green Spider with even darker green and silver whirls racing through the car giving it a very mystical look.

As with the first car, it had a spoiler, underlighting, and was lowered to the ground but that was were they differed.

White leather seats and a polished silver steering wheel with a small screen navigational system and what looked like three buttons for nas lay on the middle of the wheel covered by silver raised stars.

This was also a two seater and Trowa found himself admiring the person who had so obviously put so much work into this, without knowing who it was.

Quatra admired the long Blue dodge viper with silver snow flakes hiding all along the car in a light silver paint with spoiler, lowered front, twenty inch wheels, silver alloys, three naz buttons and three buttons that he really had no idea what the hell they were there for.

Running his hands lighting along the body work, he shouted to the other guys his fndings.

Duo had found his dream bike.

The bike, a racer XT7000, had white leather apolstery, the pipes and wires hidden behind silver piping. Large wheels with silver spirals that shone with newness. Ducking he tried to see the engine capacity and nearly fell back in shock at what he saw.

Calling the guys, they found him on the ground mumbling to himself. After much time or so it seemed to them but only a minuted had passed, Duo straightened from his position with a glazed look in his eyes.

Pointing to the bike he whispered almost reverently "The bike, it seemes to have a 1800cc engine."

Heero shook him head knowlingly. "No, Bikes cant go that high. Its impossible!"

Laughing manically, Duo said "Check for yourself then!"

Nodding, his certainy assured, he squatted down and looked, although it was difficult considering the engine was convered by covering, in a bright yellow, with blue streaks down the side.

Catching site of the engine capacity finally he took a second look and got up, a shocked expression on his face. Walking slowly away from the bike, Duo went after him and soon all the guys had left the bike.

Quatra went to walk beside Heero and look enquisitively up at him, Heero answered "It seems i was wrong!" His voice came out strangled as if he couldnt believe it. Quatra decided to leave it at that, he wouldnt want him on his case if he was proven wrong for the first time in his life either.

Out of the corner of his mouth, Duo said "Must find those owners."

Catching sight of Millardo they walked over to him, and after shouting a greeting and the customary fist against fist, they found out who they were racing tonight and then throwing an arm around Millardo's shoulder Duo said tossing his head in the direction of the cars who had taken their places "Who the newbbies? and were they at?"

Smiling, Millardo looked into Duo's eyes and bending low whispered into his ear who they were.

Shocked, Duo reared back and incrediously asked "Your not serious, their actually here?"

Nodding and laughing openly at Duo's disbelief, Millardo filled the rest of the guys in.

Shocked, the guys eyes widened slightly, their only display of shock.

Wu fei, the ever present disbeliever said "I dont believe you. Everyone would be talking about them if they were in the city."

Shaking his head, Millardo answered "No they wouldnt. They laying low, setting up shop and a new course."

Steeping closer so as not to be heard by other racers, he continued "But here's the news straight from the horse's mouths so to speak although dont ever tell them i said that. They are here tonight looking for racers. They picking the best tonight who will then be exclusively invited to race against them next friday at a speacial location. Don't know whats up for grabs but it got to be good for them and the reputations of the drivers to say they have raced against the bullet squad."

Looking around to make sure nobody was watching them, he whispered to them "They are way impressive and i wouldnt be surprised if they only picked ten from tonight."

Nodding, the guys were impressed by the news but then Millardo could always be counted on to know all the going's on of the circuit.

The other guys left to prepare the cars/bikes and make sure they were in perfect condition for the race.

Duo stopped when a hand clamped on his arms and he looked up into the eyes of Millardo. Squinting as if unsure he should be telling him this he continued neither the less "The bullets, they are all....how do i say this...they are all...well female."

Shocked Duo reared back and started to roaringly laugh his head of. He laughed so hard that he fell to the ground cluthching his side yelling "I cant breath" before dissolving in laughter again.

Worried Millardo looked on confused.

The four guys turned at hearing Duo's easily recognisable high pitcehd Hyena Impression for a

laugh, and shrugging their shoulders, pointed fingers at each other till Quatra through up his hands in annoyance and went over to the near hysterical Duo. Grabbing him by the arm, he pulled him along behind him, almost knocking down a blonde in leather.

For once in his life, he didn't stop and apologise.

Setting Duo on a step, they wacthed as he got hold of himself and as he wiped away the tears straming from his face, Wu fei came forward till he stood direclty in front of Duo, who had no choice but look up at the annoyed Chinese man.

Pointing to the way they had just come he asked, his voice filled with resonable curiosity "What the hell was that all about?"

This started Duo laughing all over again, and by the time he had stopped,two of the group had gone. In Wu fei's case to race, and in Heero's case prepare for his turn next.

Shrugging his shoulders, Duo decided not to tell them. It was time enough for them to learn on their own. He had a feeling they would be meeting the girls next friday anyway.

Walking on to the road in the middle of the cars, Millardo got ready to commense the race when Usagi walked on.

Grabbing her hips to stop her from moving Millardo stood behind her waiting to see what she said, "It's all right, Baby. I got this!"

Raising her arms, she yelled "Ready, steady go!" But still managed to hear Millardo say "Damn, she does and all." in such a voice filled with masculine admiration that Usagi found she couldnt be mad at him.

Walking of the road, she didn't bother to watch the race, She already had a good idea who was going to win anyway.

There was a definate pro in the Blue dodger viper, and the rest from what she could see were new to the circuit.

Sitting down beside Ami, she looked over the her shoulder at what she had written down. She could feel her eyebrows raising.

Nodding to the list, she murmured "So this all we got so far?"

Nodidng Ami whispered back "Yeah, there poor pickings tonight!"

The other girls concurred, and Mina let out a sigh and a whispered "Damn."

Shrugging her shoulders, Usagi commented "Its still early. I saw five maybe's out there. One is driving in this race. I want them there. Mark the blue dodge, and red spider with the flames. I'm not sure what the other two are driving yet."

Nodding sagely, Ami took down the names and started to fill in the names of the drivers they had gotten so far. It was a white gold embossed square sheet, with their address and their invitation to race on it, stating it very exclusive and warning them to have the invite with them if they come.

Towards the end of the night, The bike races began.

The three guys from the gw squad were the first wave, and they sat on the bikes, feet resting lightly on either side of the bike, Waiting for the last racer.

Shoving her hair into a bun, Mina placed her Helmet on, and wheeled her bike to the start line were three other racers waited.

Starting the engine, and resting one foot on the ground, Mina starred straight ahead and Millardo got the hint.

Raising his arms, he signalled the riders to place their helemts on and to start their engines.

With his arms came down, Mina leaped of the start line, a black Motorbike close on her tail.

Weaving as she rode along she made sure that he couldnt overtake her, but overtake her he did.

As he jumped past her, she cursed hard and then had an idea.

Stretching low, she snagged a newly installed button on string.

Looking ahead she smiled, This was the perfect time to test what this thing could do. Pressing the button, Mina could feel the pull of the wind as she roared ahead, easily passing the bike that had originally over taken her, a blue flame on the ground the only evidence that she had really over taken him.

Crossing the finish line in record time, she swung her leg of the bike and walked over to Ami, and hugged her.

"Omg, that was the best ride i have had in ages. You really are the best Ames!" Laughing her helmet came off and her blonde hair came loose to swing around her head.

While The other girls hugged Mina, Ami wondered why she had used the naz when her bike was more then powerful enough to beat the other bikes. Shaking her head as she was hugged again she vowed to ask Mina later on.

A few seconds later the other three racers crossed the finish line.

Throwing their helemts down in disgust they looked around for the bike, but it seemed to have dissappeared with its rider.

Snorting their disgust, they watched as people quickly got out of their ways as they barreled down the road.

Noticing the time, Quatra yelled over the music puming out from some car "Its late and we got to go! The cops will probably be arriving soon." Nodding their agreement they started up their vehicles and started towards the back.

Heero was the last to get his bike started, and was surprised when Millardo's face appeared to his right side.

Grinning Millardo held out white enevelopes to him, five to be exact. "You got picked, they want you at this location next week."

Cauticious, Heero opened the first envelope. Reading it quickly he raised his eyes back to Millardo's "Why?"

Shrugging his shoulders, Millardo admitted "I have no idea, but you made a good impression on one of them in the last race!"

Eyes widening, "The one that beat us was one of them?"

"Hell yeah. You cant mistake their style of driving anywere."

Shaking his head in amusement he muttured "Well fancy that!" Heero grunted his thanks to him, put on the helemt and rode home.

When they got their, They went to the kitchen and Heero explained Who is was they had raced and how they had all gotten invitations for next week.

Picking up the note, Quatra read it aloud before raising amused eyes to the now sheepish guys, "Anything you want to tell me?"

Shaking their heads vigriously, Duo and Trowa shouted "No!"

Shrugging his shoulders as four pair of eyes landed on him, he walked of tohis bedroom. Two pairs of eyes drilling into the back ofhis head.

As he closed the door, he smiled. He caught himself. Walking to hid bed he took of his shirt and went into the bathroom and washed his teeth wondering all the time why he was becoming less like the solider he had been during the war every day.

For heavens sake he had found himself nearly smiling out in the open so many times, it was becoming a pain.

Jumping on the bed he out his arms under his head and drifted into a light sleep.

Outside in the common room, the guys discussed wether they were actually going to go race.

Unanimously, mostly from curiosity at why whenever the drivers were mentioned Duo broke down into laughter.

Shrugging their shoulders they smirked. It was as good a reason as you were going to get out of them.

Grabbing a can of fizz from the fridge, Wu fei and Quatra said their good byes and closed the door behind them.

************************************************************************************************

Sneaking outside, Usagi closed the door gently behind her. The girls had fallen asleep during her facourite movie "2fast2furious". Deciding to go after the film ended had been easy and so here she was outside their apartment in her corset and leather pants. She had left her jacket inside because someone was using it as a pillow.

Walking up the stairs she stopped in surprise.

Two guys were on the landing looking down at her as if they felt sure they should know her.

Grinning she smiled at them and continued walking.

Now considering it was the night, and Wu fei had somehow got hold of Duo's Sugar supply it was no wonder that when she walked by, he grabbed her waist and swinging her around to face him asked "You want to give me a good bye kiss?" His voice had taken on a cajoling tint.

Laughingly she looked into his eyes and searched his soul, finding the reason why he was like this, she almost laughed.

Pulling her face into a serious mask, she nodded and reaching up planted a kiss in his cheek, before slipping out of his arms and walking up the rest of the stairs to her room.

She only laughed when she heard him say to the other guy that had been there "She called that a kiss."

By the time she was opening the door she was nearly to far away to hear what the blond guy had to say but she thought she heard "Well on the plus side at least it wasn't a punch!" Before he started to laugh.

Closing the door behind her she could hear them going down the stairs.

Walking into the dark common room, she grabbed a bottle of water from the fridge before going into her bedroom. Kicking of her shoes she smiled at the sleeping form of her roomate before opening the door to the balcony.

Sitting on the step she watched the moon and gently its presence sent her to sleep.

Later in the night, Heero woke up, dazed and confused. Looking around he turned on a side lamp and looked around the room wondering what had woken him up.

Seeing the bed next to him with no one in it, he wondered were she was. A twitch from outside had him jumping of the bed and looking out the window in surprise.

Smiling he shrugged his shoulders.

Opening the door he propped a book against it to keep it from closing and walking over to were usagi lay, he gently picked her up, princess style and walked her inside laying her gently on the bed.

Pulling the cover over her, he snorted to himself. He may care about the girl, but his princely tendacies only stretched so far.

Walking back to the door he closed it and went back to his own bed. He went to sleep immeadialty dreaming of a certain Blonde that he had yet to get the courage to ask out.
