Last time:
"You really do act like a girl." Wufei noted again.
Usagi was getting tired of him. Then, she had an idea. An idea so demented and crazy, so unthinkable and illogical that it just might pass for logical even in these times of illogical-ness. [AN: What'd I just write?] She whirled around and grinned at Wufei. "You wanna know why I act so girly, my dear, dear Wufei?" she asked, hands on her hips, her voice deeper than her own and just as feminine, yet male enough to pass.
Wu Fei's eyes widened.
"Why . . . " he asked quietly.
She smirked. "Because I'm gay."
Now:
The air seemed to seep out of the room as Usagi faced a wide-eyed Wufei. She smirked. 'Why not? It'll keep them off my back for a while!'
"Which bunk did you say was mine, Duo dear?" she asked sweetly.
"B-bottom." He stuttered. He couldn't believe it. This guy was gay! Not only that, sharing a dorm room with-with him! 'Oh damn,' he thought, 'Wufei and Hiiro are going to complain.' And with that, the two boys stormed out of the room, leaving him and the gay guy alone. 'Oh shit, oh shit-please don't hit on me, I don't think I can take it from a guy!'
Usagi placed her stuff under her bunk bed and sat on it, seemingly to have a staring contest with Duo. Sighing, she took out her braid and shook her hair, running her hands through it.
"Please don't do that. I mean-not to sound rude, but can you act---gay---er- --girly, that is to say . . . I mean . . . somewhere else? It makes me uncomfortable." Duo said, backing up against the door.
Usagi re-braided her hair and nodded, sighing. She'd never make it here. The idea to tell two boys she was gay seemed good at the time, but not anymore. Not only that, the only friend she had made was now scared of her. 'That's it, I'm becoming a recluse.' Rolling over and slipping off her shoes, Usagi took a nap.

"The damn boy is gay, sir!" Wufei snarled. He was usually calm about situtations, but now, he was right out mad.
The general leaned back in his chair and sighed. He'd had a gay boy in his camp each year, so he wasn't surprised. Now, it was never a problem because the gay boys usually kept to themselves, but it ~was~ getting annoying.
Mikoshi disapproved of gay boys period. However, that did not mean they weren't a valuble asset to military camps. Gay or not, they were still people who could train and get stronger, wiser and more skilled.
"Sir, if I may speak." She said, making sure everyone in the office was listening. When all eyes were focused on her, she continued. "I do not believe throwing Shenji out of the camp is an appropriate action."
Snickers; Wufei.
Mikoshi glared at him and he immediately stood at attention. "Keep him here," she said in a softer tone. "What would we prove if we threw him out? He is just another boy who wishes to fight for his country, and in time, he could show some real skill. And further more, he has yet to inform us of his illness."
"You doubt my word?" Wufei asked in a pinched tone.
The general's first commander focused piercing gray eyes on him, disapproval written all over her face. "I doubt your word, Chang. Problem?" she taunted.
"No sir." He hollered. 'Damn woman . . .'
Hiiro stood stock still, not saying a word. He wondered distantly why he was even here at the camp. In school-wise eyes, he was a sophomore. Even so, it was obvious to everyone he was way better than the new recruits, and elders. Hell, Chang over there was calling Mikoshi 'sir'.
"Then don't speak unless you're spoken too, understood?" she sneered, throwing his coldness back at him.
"Yes sir." He almost whispered.
'Again.' Hiiro thought, not shifting a bit but casting a glare at Wufei. It would be just like that self-righteous idiot to get them both into trouble.
The general cleared his throat. "Since you feel so strongly about this, Commander Mikoshi, and you have never steered me wrong with your feelings, Shenji will stay."
Hiiro and Wufei glanced at one another. "He's gay, sir." Hiiro protested, but not a hint of protesting in his voice. [Confusing, I know hehe.]
"But," the general continued, ignoring Hiiro's remark, "if he shows one teencie, tiny little sign of anything about him being gay, he's gone. I don't want to hear anything else about it from you boys. Dismissed."
The two boys filed out of his office and he swiveled around in his chair to face the woman he loved. Red hair bounced when she looked down at him from her standing position.
"I hope you're strong about your feelings, Mikoshi." He said.
Mikoshi smiled. "Kihono, I am." And she stared after the two boys with heat in her eyes. 'But I'm not so sure about those two.'

Usagi woke up abruptly as Hiiro and Wufei stalked back into the dorm room, slamming the door behind them. Frowning into a yawn, she decided to make conversation.
"Did you get me kicked out?" she almost melted from fear at the looks she received.
"No," Wufei snapped. "You're lucky Commander Mikoshi was on your side. She must have a thing for gays."
Usagi felt something inside of her snap. "Shut the hell up, you damn asshole. Just because I'm different from you doesn't mean I don't have feelings-"
"Don't give me this 'gay boy feeling' speech." He snickered.
Usagi felt her blood boil. Even if she wasn't really gay, talking about her made her angrier. Not knowing what she was doing, she jumped off her bed, reared back her fist, and before he could stop her, she punched him square in the jaw.
Wufei reacted immediately. He pushed her back into the wall and pummeled her with blows.
'Holy shit---this is pain! It's not any worse than the bruises I've received from fighting monsters.' Now she was lying to herself, and lying didn't help because this was way worse! Resisting the urge the cry out, she licked her lip; blood. The metallic taste mingled with her saliva.
'This'll teach that gay jackass to mess with me.' Wufei thought, rearing back and punching the boy in the stomach.
Usgai immediately doubled over in pain as the air was roughly thrown out of her system. She slid down the wall coughing up blood and holding her stomach. Her eyes weren't focused straight-in fact, she couldn't see.
Wufei prepared to kick the boy silly, bringing his foot back.
"Stop, Wufei." Hiiro, eyes closed, profile leaning against the wall, ordered.
Wufei hesitated, then brought his foot down, calming a bit.
Duo pushed Wufei out of the way and checked Shenji's pulse. He'd been visting two friends; Quatre and Trowa; and had come back here to see Wufei punch Shenji in the stomach. Blood dripped down Shenji's bottom lip and the boy slouched over. "He's out cold, Wufei." Duo said bitterly.
Wufei didn't know whether to be surprised at Duo's tone or the fact that he had finally got his name right. Then, seeing his victory, he headed with Hiiro out to the mess hall. "Let him sit there and think about what'll happen the next time he wants to smart off to me." he snickered, closing the door behind him.
Duo sighed. "Next time you pick a fight, don't pick it with Wufei, or Hiiro. I'm surprised Hiiro even stopped Wufei from finishing you off! Usually, and usually is always, Hiiro just sits back and watches, or doesn't watch." Duo advised and chattered as Shenji came to.
Usagi's eyes focused on Duo and her breathing came shallowly. "I thought you were afraid of me." she whispered hoarsely. She saw a distant look come into Duo's eyes. "Not anymore. You can't even defend yourself." The boy joked. Duo smiled at Shenji. "You must be in a lot of pain. Let me help you into bed."
"No." Usagi said, wincing when she stood. Pain like no other hit her and soreness claimed her body. "I can't wimp out. I want to go eat. Introduce me to your friends. Forget Wufei. When I learn how to fight, he'll get his turn at an ass-whooping." She wiped her mouth.
Duo smiled at Shenji's persistance and supported the weakened boy. "I highly doubt you'll be able to beat Wufei any time soon, but at least you're not giving up."
Laughing, the two friends headed off to lunch.
