Chapter 4

Ami knew her face was red as she pelled away from Duo, startling him.

"What do you think you're doing," she snapped, turning to leave the room before she grew more upset.

Was it stupid to feel like she had betrayed someone whom was dead?

"Ami, wait," Duo said, reaching to grab her arm, but shehad fled the room.

"Hey, come on," he said, following her, but she was up the stairs before he could reach her, and dared not follow for fear of Usagi and Mamoru stopping their make-out session short to see why they were arguing. Turning back with a dejected sigh, he spotted the small picture of Rob staring from the fireplace, his serious green eyes burning holes through him.

And that was when Duo understood. Rob had not just been a friend of Ami's that had died at Christmas. He had been her boyfriend. They had probably been serious. And since it was only six months ago, Ami was not over it. Not only had he upset her and ruined his chances of getting more information, but now Heero would kill him for kissing the girl he was probably going to have to kill later on. Theyw ere supposed to be normal, but the moment that they got too personal or emotionally involved with the girls, it would ruin the mission.

Yet still, Duo looked off dreamily into the air. It had been nice.

Deciding to let Ami cool off a bit, Duo headed outside to sit on the porch.

Wufei glanced up at him questioningly, but said nothing as he turned back to his conversation with Rei.

"Come on Heero. You have to try it, it's really good!"

Duo glanced over at Minako, whom was currently trying to feed Heero a very disguisting looking spoon full of oatmeal.

"It's Makoto's recipe, come on! I'm sure I couldn't have botched it up THAT bad," she was saying.

"I just had lunch. Besides, you're avoiding my question. What are your views on a dictatorship type of government?"

Duo rolled his eyes. Heero was so bad at this 'normal' thing.

Trowa and Makoto were no swimming, and Makoto was making large hand gestures in the water as if trying to tell himan exciting story as they floated.

Quatre was still nowhere to be seen. And he couldn't help wondering what he was up to.


Ami looked up from where she lay on her bed, simply thinking. Remembering. She heard her cell phone ringing from downstairs, very faintly. Heading downstairs, it grew louder, but she couldn't see it.

Her friends were all now in the living room, minus Quatre, and they were playing cards, waiting for diner to finish. She avoided eye contact with Duo immediately.

"You guys, my cell phone," she said, and they all looked around. Usagi looked around before pointing to teh tabel and sneaking a glance at Rei's cards. Minako tossed her the cell phone. Strange. Her mom hadn't mentioned that she was calling.

"Hello?"

"Hi Ami."

"Hi," she said a bit unsurely, not recognizing the voice.

"Do you know who I am? Guess."

"I can't say that I care for guessing. Who is this," she asked suspiciously, knowing that only her mother and best friends knew her number. Everyone playing cards looked up.

"I've found you."

"Who is this," she repeated in an angrier tone, and again everyone stared.

"Your stupid friends got in the way last time. But don't worry, they won't next time. Next time I'll succeed."Ami was pale as she listened to the voice, and the hand holding the phone began to tremble slightly as she realized who it was.

"I'll do what no one else could so far. I'll kill you, I will." Ami gave a small sigh, and attempted to answer in a stronger voice than what she was feeling right now.

"I don't think that will be possible, how did you even get this number?"

"The number was simple.It will be easy to kill you. I don't just give empty threats of revenge. It's your fault my brother is dead. All your fault. And just like he suffered, you'll suffer. I won't just kill you. I will destroy you. Be prepared. Becausemaybe I won't kill you tomorrow, or the next day, or the day after that. But I will. And it will hurt. You'll hurt like my brother was hurting, you'll hurt like I'm hurting, Ami."

"You're a liar, you had no brother." Ami said simply, and the girl laughed.

"I don't lie. I always say exactly what I mean to say. Unlike a certain supposed defender of peace I'm speaking to. Perhaps one should evaluate themselves before criticizing others. How typical of you to say that."

"Typical? You don't even know me!"

"I know enough. I know that evil people such as yourself don't deserve to live. You think you help people? You hurt people! You think you are superior? You are a cretin, beneath the human race, a mistake, a chaotic being. Everyone you love or care for dies. My brother told me all about you Ami, so don't worry.My broher died for you Ami. He died for you, and he didn't even love you! He died for someone he was supposed to kill, Ami. My brother never got to finish his mission Ami. He never had a chance to reveal you, to kill you. I'm finishing what he started. I'm hurting Ami, and soon you will be too."

Ami was very slow to respond right now, and she finally spoke, in a voice just above a whisper yet clear enough to hear.

"What?"

And the girl hung up.

Ami felt her phone slip from her hand, and it hit the carpet with a dull thud. Kill her? Surely not Robert. A mission?Those last few words were harder to hear than the whole phone call.

Her friends looked at her with a mix of worry and curiousity, as tears began to sting at the corners of her eyes. She dared not let them fall. That girl was a liar. She was telling the same lie she had told a week ago when she attacked her. Except her story seemed to have been added to.

The girl had to be lieing. She just had to be.

Makoto took a cautious step towards Ami, looking at her as if she might collapse any moment.

Heero crept over to the cellphone, and dialed 69, but no one answered.

He checked the call history, and found what he was looking for. Mamoru's cellphone was labelled as making the call.

Everyone stared at him, waiting for an answer, and he held up the cellphone to show everyone.

"Oh no, it's exactly as we feared Mamoru. The pschopath got Ami's number from your cellphone," Rei said.

"Ami," Mamoru said, guilt lacing his voice at the thought that this was hisfault, "What did she tell you?"

Duo looked at Ami curiously, and she continued to ignore him. The oven ttimer gave a small ring, signalling the food was finished.

Ami tried to collect herself before speaking, her voice cold now.

"Nothing. She just threatened me again is all," she responded, and traces of tears now gone.

"That's it? No way Ami, that can't be all," Usagi said.

"I said that was all," Ami snapped before she could control herself, and then hurried into the kitchen to get the food from the oven before it burned.

Everyone looked at each other, but had no time to contemplate Ami's strange answer, Ami's lie, because there was a knock at the door.

Makoto and Minako hurried to the door, and tried to turn on the porch light, since it was getting pretty dark now. It was seemingly broken, it wouldn't come on.

Although it had been working fine earlier that day, Minako noted to herself. Quatre stood at the door, and behind him stood someone they couldn't see well.

Looking down, they realized his hand was laced through hers.

Makoto gave a small smile, and spoke.

"Hey Quatre, what's up?" Automatically, Quatre could tell from her voice that something had just happened, but he decided not to make a big deal.

"I brought that friend of mine Duo probably mentioned to meet you, she's our neighbor."

"Oh," Minako said, "great!" Her attempt at trying to sound enthuised was terrible. "Come on in!"

"I'll introduce her to everyone once we're all inside," Quatre said, and the girl followed him right away, Minako and Makoto only getting a glance at her shoulder length violet hair.

"Her hair looks familiar, doesn't it," Makoto said as the two locked the door and followed Quatre and the new girl.

Everyone was now in the dining room, and setting a place for Quatre and his friend.

Makoto had hurried into the kitchen to grab the last dish for the food, a steaming plate of lasagna.

The rest of the girls had set down the last plates of food and now everyone had theirattention on Quatre and the seemingly shy girl standing behind him.

"Everyone," he said, encouraging the girl to step into view, "this is Sanyu, the new neighbor."

The girl flashed a friendly smile. The pilots stared at the girl, some giving nods of greetings, others just shrugging.

The senshi and Mamoru however, continued to stare. Brown eyes, violet shoulder-length hair, a small nose, rosy lips, a seemingly innocent facade...

Ami let out an anguished sob as she lay on the ground of her apartment. A women stood over her. She was wearing a horrible smirk. Next to Ami was a black garbage bag. The women had attacked her in the middle of the night, just shown up in her room and attacked. Ami's mother lay bleeding by the kitchen door, unconscious. After beating her and her mother ruthlessly, she had tossed Ami the bag and told her to look inside. Ami didn't want to, but after another threat she complied. Inside was only a bloody mass of body parts, enough to make Ami puke, but then she saw something that nearly killed her. A pair of startling green eyes staring at her from in the bag. Ami had dropped the bag, turning to throw up. It was then that her friends had burst into the room, while Ami lay there, sobbing.

"My mom," she had said, "check on my mom."

That woman was standing in front of them now, and amusement waslighting up her face as she stared at the senshi, especially Ami. Ami frowned. She had killed Robert. Luckily, her mother had been okay. Why was she back? Of course, it all made sense with the youmaattack. Finishing what she started?

"What are you doing here," Rei said quickly, trying to hide her anger unsuccesfully.

"I'm staying with my aunt," she said simply, causing even Usagi to glare.

Ami looked at her friends, and looked at the now curious pilots.

"Well, the dinner is getting cold. Welcome to my home, Sanyu." She sat down at the table, coincidentally next to Duo in her huff. The scouts gasped, but quickly realized Ami was watching out for all of their identities and not just her revenge.

"Um...okay," Usagi said, taking Mamoru's hand and heading to sit down. Everyone else seated themselves, and Sanyu and Quatre ended up across from Ami and Duo. Everyone attempted to make conversation during the quiet dinner. Ami was picking nervously at her food, and when Duo tryed to talk to her, she turned her back to him, creating more tension on the table.

Ami looked at Sanyu. She wasn't sure if she should kill her for killing Robert, or, with recent information, thank her for killing her Robert before he did her in, then kill her for hurting both herself and her mother. If, indeed, Robert had betrayed her. She sighed, ignoring the attention she received. It was too com;licated of a situation to think about.

The scouts exchanged looks all through dinner, and it didn't help that Sanyu was babbling about the gorgeous summer home her parents owned in the carribean.

Looking over at the two, Ami realized with distaste that Quatre seemed quite entranced by her.

But what could they do? Get revenge and risk revealing themselves? It didn't help matters that she had lost all of her trust in Duo after realizing he was lying about his gun.

"Well, I'm finished," Quatre said, knowing that for some reason the girls hated Sanyu from the moment they saw her.

"I'll take Sanyu home and come back for my friends. Maybe I'll bring her by tomorrow. And when I come back,I want to know what happened before I came," he added to Makoto and minako, remembering their nervousness at the door.

Quatre left, and they began to clean up dinner quietly.

"How do you know her," Wufei was asking Rei as she covered the lasagna to put it in the fridge.

"Who?"

"Sanyu. You asked her what she was doing here."

"Oh, well that's not important," Rei said, flipping her hair over her shoulder and walking away to get more plates. Quatre returned and the guys left after thanking everyone for the dinner.


"So, let me get this strait Duo," Quatre said, "Ami questioned you about the gun, smartly figured out your lies, and then what?"

"Oh, that's unimportant."

"Ami's not talking to you, meaning we are no longer getting information from one of the girls, so it is important," Heero said.

Duo sighed, and spoke.

"I kissed her." He was me with a silence. The others all stared, and he gave a frustrated sigh.

"WHAT?"

"You two were arguing, she accused you of lying, and then you kissed her, the possible enemy. What were you trying to do, shut her up?" Duo turned to look at Wufei for his absurd statement.

"No, no I was not trying to shut her up," he defended.

"Maxwell, you messed up," Heero said, before continueing. "Anyways, Ami lied about the call and it's contents. And also Quatre they all seem upset by that new neighbor, there's more to her then what seems, so you should keep bringing her by. Wufei, you-"

Before Heero could continue, there was a flash of light and Mirvette, the women whom had given them the mission,appeared. Her green eyes sparkled excitedly.

"How have you all been doing," she asked.

"Alright, although we suspect that the girls next door are the senshi," Quatre responded.

"Really, how fortunate. I had an idea andI had to come give it to you."

They all stared, and she continued. Reaching into her pocket, she pulled out five small black, flatdevices, no larger than her pinky nail.

"Put these on each one of the girls. It cannot be on their clothing. You must hide it strategically. For example, If one of them wears a necklace all the time, install one in the locket. If one hides conversations on cell phones, put it on her phone. If you put it on right, she won't notice it and you can even hear theother person.If one is always in the kitchen, hide it under one of the counters. Infact." She pulled up 4 more.

"I'll give you these so that you can bug the whole house. They're small, but powerful. If you put one in...hm, the kictehn, living room, dining room, and front hall, you'll hear everything. Then place one on a personal belonging of each girl. Yes, that sounds right."

The boys nodded.

"I wish we had thought of that earlier," Quatre said, referring to Ami's cell phone conversation.

"Well, anyways. Once you find some solid information that they are the scouts, eliminate them."

"Wait," Trowa, said, "we don't have to report to you first?"

"No," she said coldly, "only report to me if you tried to kill them and were unable to. Here." She tossed him a small phone.

"Just dial the only number in the phone's address book when you do call, whether you've completely finished your task or were unable. Not before."

And with that she dissapeared.

"There is something very wrong with that woman," Duo said.

"So tomorrow, the plan is, we bug the girls and the house, Duo finds some way to get on Ami's good side, and Quatre also brings the neighbor over," Heero said.


"Alright, the guys are gone Ami. Tell us what really happened in your phone call," Makot said, as the girls and Mamoru sat around the living room.

"Well, I'll begin with something else that happened today. Remember how Duo and Heero pulle dout guns yesterday?"

Everyone nodded.

"Well, I confronted Duo about it today. He kept changing his story, completely lied."

"Oh, is that why you ignored him earlier," Minako said.

"Er..yes," she said, misisng a detail but continueing. "And the phone call was the same girl. She did threaten me really, she said so many things I can't even remember most of them. She also said something strange."

"Strange like Rob being her brother strange? Ami, don't listen. We already agreed that was a lie," Rei said.

"Well, yes. But she added to it. Robert told me something a few days before he died, something that meant nothing to me. But she just told me something to put it in perspective."

"What was that?"

"I'd rather not say."

Everyone sighed.

"Look, if it was related directly to me well being, I'd tell you, honestly."No one believed her, but nodded. She could be stuborn, after all.

"Now about Sanyu, let's just wait it out. Perhaps we'll confront her away form the boys. For now, we'll turn the tables. When the boys ask questions, we don't give strait answers. I don't trust them. For now, we'll do our own questioning," Minako said. Everyone agreed.

Tomorrow would surely be interesting.


Short, but I had to get a chapter out. Revew!
