Hotaru: I'm back and better than ever, at least I am not sure about the fic

Aurora: Have confidents in yourself and you'll do fine (smiles)

Hotaru: Are you a counselor now?

Aurora: No, they were just words of wisdom

Hotaru: Sure if you say so

Shiori and Trinity walk into room.

Trinity: (smiles) Hey guys, have you seen Heero and Duo around

Aurora: No but they went that way last time we saw them

Shiori: Thanks

Trinity and Shiori leave in Duo and Heero's previous exit.

Hotaru: (curious) I wonder why everyone keeps going that way

Aurora: Let's find out

Leave to the place everyone else goes and walk in on a party. Everyone is totally drunk and acting like drunks do when they get that way.

Hotaru: Hey! Why didn't we get invited to this party? (angry)

Aurora: Most look too drunk to even remember to leave

Aurora points to people trying to play video games when the television and system were both off. Hotaru and Aurora laugh so hard they're rolling on the ground. After many laughs they finally got up, went to the bar and got a few drinks.

Hotaru: (hic) time…to say (laughs and falls over asleep)

Aurora: (sweatdrop) No more beer for you, anyway Hotaru, my love, does not own Gundam Wing, hopes you like this chapter, read, review and now read while I try and sober her up for the end.

Chapter Seven- New Friends and Plans

"Well if it isn't the Prince and Princess themselves to what do we owe this honor" Shinigami said mockingly "Oh wait you're the reason we're here in the first place" Shiori walked over to Shinigami, pulled back her hand, slapping him so hard that he was in a state of shock.

"Do that again and your face won't be the only place that feels pain" Shiori said smirking, as Shinigami came around. Sensing what Shinigami was going to do Death quickly grabbed his arm pulling him back.

"Duo no we're in enough trouble all ready don't make it any worse" Death whispered just loud enough for Shinigami to hear. Upon hearing Death's words Shinigami clamed down enough not to hurt anyone.

"Follow us now" Heero said. Feeling it would be better not to push their luck the thief siblings followed Heero and Shiori out of the room. The game of follow the leaders lead the thieves over the whole before eventually stopping in a hallway full of doors.

"From this day forth you two are commissioned to be our personal slaves for the rest of your lives" Heero said smiling at the shocked expressions playing on Death and Shinigami's faces.

"You can't be serious" Shinigami said staring wide eyed at his soon to be master.

"That he is" Shiori said eyes closed as though this was just another ordinary day and didn't really require her full attention. "With that said I shall take Death and be on our way" Shiori grabbed Death's hand leading her away from the two older teens.

"Shinigami!" Death said trying to release herself from Shiori's hold while tears started to appear in the corners of her eyes.

"Death!" Shinigami said trying to go after her but was stopped midway by a hand grabbing his wrist and pulling him back. "Let me go, you bastard!" Shinigami squirmed his hand around trying to get his captor to release him but to no avail.

"You belong to me now, you will see your partner later" Heero said Shinigami sighed at the thought of how long it might be until he would be able to see his sister again. Shinigami got a wonderful idea, which showed on his face in the way of a malicious smile.

"I don't take orders from anyone, not even the likes of you" Shinigami said running next second in the direction Shiori and Death left leaving Heero standing there staring at Shinigami's retreating back.

----------

Shiori lead Death outside to the Palace gardens where millions of flowers were in bloom. Walking through the garden the two girls found a bench directly under a beautiful Cherry Blossom tree. Both sat down sitting as far away from each other as would be possible while silence settled in around them. The wind blew around the tree making the branches shake, and the girls hairs fly all over, as some petals fell off floating to the ground. Death watched Shiori reach out her hand to catch a floating petal, which landed smoothly in the palm of her hand.

"It's sad I don't remember a thing about my mother but when I come to this tree I feel warmth and secure as if she were here with me" Shiori said closing the hand with the petal in it and bringing the closed hand close to her heart.

"I'm so sorry, my mother died too when I was still very young" Death said remembering the day she found her parents mutilated. Tears started to fill Death's eyes, not wanting to look weak in front of Shiori Death tried to hide the tears but to no avail. Shiori seeing the tears Death was trying so hard to hide moved closer to Death. When She was right next to Death Shiori use her hand and wiped most of the tears from Death's eyes but not before a few escape.

"Do not hold back just for my sake, I will not find you weak if you should cry" Shiori said pulling Death into a hug in which Death accepted crying into Shiori's shoulder as the tears appeared once more. A few minutes later the two broke apart with the water works over.

"Thank you, Princess" Death said smiling for the first time since she got there.

"It's Shiori Yuy, none of this Princess Stuff" Shiori said a small smile escaping her lips. "Though I don't know what your name is"

"It's…" Death started but was cut short by Shiori.

"No thief name either I want your real name" Death sighed.

"Fine, it's Trinity Maxwell" Trinity said.

--------------

Shinigami roamed the halls wondering where the other girl could have taken his sister and what was happening to his sister at that moment. Though the hunt for his sister did not deter him from what he was going to do. With an evil gleam in his eyes he went on the hunt for the most perfect things to use in his diabolical plan. Shinigami reached in every nook and cranny for something to use. After searching for a half an hour he finally had everything he needed.

/Now I just need the perfect place to set it up and I know just where that is/ Shinigami thought remembering where Heero's room was as he had come across it in his search went straight for there. Upon reaching Heero's room Shinigami looks both ways to see if the coast was clear then went right in. In the room Shinigami got right to work setting up his trick. The trick in question required an array of materials, which were a bucket, rope, oatmeal, eggs, bacon, orange juice and a few other things. First Shinigami put the breakfast materials in the bucket. Shinigami put the finishing touches on the trick to make it fall over whoever opened the door, he just had to tie the rope to the doorknob. Before he did that Shinigami saw paper on the desk and a pen, writing a quick letter he folded the paper, ran out the room but not before completing the trick. Shinigami ran down the hall not knowing it lead to the gardens where his sister currently was. Shinigami upon entering the garden quickly spotted Trinity and the Princess sitting by a Cherry Blossom tree.

"Death!" Shinigami yelled not knowing Shiori already knew Death's real name. The two girls turned at the sound of the voice, which Trinity quickly recognized as her brothers.

"Duo!" Trinity yelled waving at him while smiling.

"Death why'd you use my real name" Duo said when he was close enough that he didn't have to yell anymore.

"Shiori already knows my real name, so you can drop the thief names" Trinity said.

"Do you think that's a good idea?" Duo questioned curiously wondering if Trinity forgot that the Princess and Prince were the reason for their sudden imprisonment.

"Yes I do, she is nice and kind" Trinity said trying to defend Shiori but not really knowing much about her was hindering it. Duo sighed knowing fights with Trinity could last hours especially if she really believed it the subject she was defending.

"Alright Trinity you win but no one tells that bastard Prince my real name, understood?" Duo said staring at the two young teens, whom both nodded in understanding. "With that clear can you Shiori give this to that ass you call brother, tell him it's from Shinigami"

"Why should I?" Shiori asked one eyebrow rose above the other.

"If you want to see something funny happen then you'll do it but after you're done you should follow your ass of a brother to where he goes" Duo said smiling maliciously.

"Fine I guess I could there's nothing else to do, Trinity want to find out what this is all about?" Shiori asked looking at Trinity with a look that quite plainly said please come with me. Trinity nodded following Shiori back inside the Palace as they looked for Heero, Duo had already taken off the second they got the letter.

"Where do you think your brother is?" Trinity asked seeing as Shiori already seem to know where she was going.

"The library I'd imagine to cool down from his search of Duo, which probably has Heero worked up" Shiori said knowing her brother to a T. Trinity was just wondering how far the library was until Shiori stopped and poked her head through the doors that led to the library. A quick scan of the room told Shiori Heero was at the furthest table from the door in the room. Shiori with Trinity close behind her walked over to where Heero was.

"Heero, I'm suppose to give you this" Shiori said handing Heero the paper, which he took after setting down his book. Heero opened the paper and read the letter he saw written on it. The letter went something like this:

Bastard Prince,

I'm in your room as we speak, doing all kinds of things to liven it up a bit. Hope you will love your room when I'm done with it.

Sincerely,

Shinigami

P.S.

Don't you just love the color pink?

Heero fearing the worst ran out of the library with Shiori and Trinity in hot pursuit. Heero made it to his room with only a few minor scraps and cuts from various things that happened to cross his path. Shiori and Trinity stopped a few feet from Heero's room out of breath trying to keep up with Heero. Heero, holding his side from a stitch after running, hesitantly opened his wondering what his room looked like now. Neither Heero nor anyone else expected what happened next well except for maybe Duo.
