A/N Hm… time to update this story. Sorry for the long wait. More updates to my other stories will come too, now that I'm on holidays.

IMPORTANT: If Usagi seems out of character at the moment, don't worry. She'll return to her normal character after she gets used to Heero's coldness.

Genie in a Bottle?
Chapter Two
Odd Happenings
By Angel-Goddess

-:-:-:-:-:-

Heero glared at her and whipped out his gun instantly. Pointing the deadly mechanism at her head, he growled, "How do you know my name."

She looked distastefully at the gun, "A genie has to know her or his master's name, Heero-sama. Or would you prefer that I call you master?" she enquired, bowing low to him as a common nihon-jin would to the emperor.

She was currently dressed in pink overalls, a white top underneath it. On her feet were white ankle socks and lace-up pink runners. The golden bands on her neck and wrists were still there. She no longer looked as regal as last night. Heero also realised that the small crescent moon insignia on her forehead was gone.

He didn't say anything as he brushed past her as though she didn't even exist. Maybe giving her a cold shoulder would make her go away.

"Heero-sama! Master, wait for me!" She cried, bouncing lively after him.

Guess not. What would his fellow comrades say if they saw her? Heero's brow furrowed.

"Heero-sama, is there anything at all that I can get you?" she bubbled happily to him. On the outside, she was happy and polite, but in the inside … it was a different story. Heero-sama is a bit of a jerk. He doesn't even appreciate my magical powers or me. My last master… Usagi winced at the thought and stopped her train of thoughts.

He turned around quickly, startling her. "Go. Away." He punctuated his words to make them seem more threatening as he added his infamous glare. He smirked inwardly as he got the desired effect. She cowered in front of him and disappeared in a puff of white smoke.

He ran a hand through his dark hair. The problem was solved. Even if it was just temporary.

-:-

Usagi fumed and kicked a rock as she wandered around idly out in the courtyards of her master's large mansion. If he didn't want her around, then why did he bother opening the bottle? A soft growl escaped her throat. Her new master was so secretive and mysterious that Usagi couldn't help feeling intrigued. "Hmm… a good genie should know a lot about her master! I need to do some spying!"

She teleported herself back into the mansion, a quirky smile appearing on her face. With a quick snap of her fingers, her clothes turned into those of a stereotypical spy agents' black suit - only she was wearing a skirt. Matching black sunnies sat atop her nose a, giving her that extra 'professional' look.

"First mission, find out more about Heero-sama!" She announced to herself, pointing her finger up into the sky, her other hand on her waist. Silence.

She sweatdropped. "Needs some music…"

Instantly, a mini radio hovered next to her and started to play the soft mysterious James Bond song as she 'infiltrated' her new master's house.

-:-:-:-:-:-

Heero sipped his cup of coffee, his Prussian eyes staring into his laptop intently. Even though he appeared to be rather absorbed in his work, his mind continued to wonder back to last night's events. Did genie's even exist? What on earth was his troublesome genie doing right now? Was he just crazy?

"Hee-man! What's up? So early in the morning and here you are typing like there's no tomorrow!" Duo's voice, thick with sleep, echoed loudly through the silent kitchen area – disrupting Heero's peace. The slightly bleary eyed teen yawned widely and stretched his arms, not bothering to cover his mouth.

Heero didn't even spare his friend a single glance.

Duo raged through the cupboards for some food before sitting himself down in front of Heero with some milk, and a large bowl of cereal. "What were ya doin' in the library last night? You made quite a racket." Duo started, trying to get some conversation out of the quiet teen.

Heero glared at Duo, "What I do is none of your business." He stated evenly.

Duo looked more wide-awake at those words, "Geez, what's up your a-"

"MAXWELL!" An angry roar distinct came from upstairs, and you could clearly hear loud footsteps pounding overhead and later down the set of stairs nearby. A red-faced Wufei appeared at the door, arms akimbo. "Maxwell! What's your excuse for messing up the document office?" He shouted loudly as he stomped over to the confused boy and looked down at him in an intimidating way.

"What'cha talkin' 'bout? You can't just accuse me without proof!" Duo countered, scratching his head as he stared in wonder at the almost purple face of the short-tempered Chinese boy.

"You don't know what I'm talking about do you?" Wufei hissed through his teeth making Duo sweatdrop and smirk as he watched tiny little bubbles boil in between the gaps Wufei's teeth.

Wufei grabbed hold of Duo's collar and started to drag the protesting boy upstairs. "You're the only one in the house who would make such a disgusting mess, Maxwell!"

"Why do you always blame me?"

Heero continued to type away as though nothing ever happened.

-:-

"There! See! Look at that mess!" Wufei roared, pointing into the document office as he glowered at Duo darkly.

Perplexity contorted Duo's face, "Wu-man, you're crazy. It's perfectly fine."

"What? You call tha-" Wufei peered into the room and looked bewildered. Not even five minutes ago, that room had been an absolute mess. Papers that contained top secret information about their Gundams and themselves had been littered all over the floor that you couldn't even take a step into the room without falling over. Books from shelves were on the floor, and the table had been littered with other important documents.

But now … it was sparkling clean! Not a single piece of paper was on the ground, the books were lined nicely on the shelves and the table was neatly organised from the small stack of papers to the pencil holders.

"Heh, Wu-man's going blind at a young age. Haha!" Duo snickered.

Wufei glared at him, "It's not funny Maxwell, this room looked like Cyclone Duo had just struck it only a few minutes ago! And I suspect you have something to do with it!"

"Wu-man, you need to unwind! Party, and be around lots of girls… then you won't be so crazy anymore!" Duo advised unwisely before realising that Wufei was not all that happy. "Uhh… see ya 'round buddy!" Duo quickly amended before sprinting off.

Wufei decided to get his revenge later. It wasn't worth the trouble early in the morning. He turned to look back at the office. How odd. Not even the servants could've fixed this room in less than a few minutes. It would an awful long time to clean up the mess… unless it was all stuffed into one drawer!

Suspiciously, he walked into the room and tried to open one of the drawers. It was locked. He frowned and tried the others. Locked as well.

Here in the document office, everything was always neatly organised and every single drawer was supposed to be locked so that no one could access the important documents. The windows were barred so no one could get in. Not to mention the glass was shatter proof.

His eyebrows knitted tightly in thought. He couldn't have just imagined it, could he? Wufei pursed his lips and gently tugged at the leaves of a small fern tree on the table before shaking his head. He sighed and walked out of the room, closing the door behind him and locking it. He'll talk to Quatre about this.

A small puff of white smoke, and the pot plant on the desk changed into a form of a slender girl in black. "Whew! That was close!" She breathed. "Hehe, who would ever suspect a plant? Usagi, you're so clever!"

She had seen everything. Yes, that's right. Even pot plants had eyes. She had deviously watched as the dark-haired teen - whose shoulder length hair was tied into a tight ponytail – had dragged his braided, chestnut-haired friend to come look at the mess she had made. Usagi had watched with amusement as the boy with the long braid had ridiculed the baffled Chinese teen heartily as his cobalt blue eyes twinkled.

She sat down on the armchair and relaxed into its soft cushions. "So… this house is Quatre R. Winner's. Heero-sama's comrade. There are five of them living here, other than Quatre's maids, butlers and kitchen hands and they pilot something called Gundams to save the world. Hmm, it's a big job, 'saving the world'." She smiled to herself and crossed her legs as a bubble blower appeared in her hands and she blew into it. "Oh, Usagi, you're so very sneaky." She complimented herself as she watched the bubbles pop in the air with a satisfied grin.

"-mess everywhere."

The door's lock clicked, signalling that it was unlocked before it slowly started to turn.

Usagi's head lifted and she gasped before she snapped her fingers, and white mist covered her.

"I don't see anything wrong with the room, Wufei." A soft, patient voice gently floated through the air. Usagi couldn't see the speaker since she was behind the desk, but from the documents she had been reading, the boy with the kind voice must be the owner of the house. Quatre.

"That's exactly my point! It was a mes- hang on second. Wasn't there a small fern plant here on the desk?" Wufei asked, now extremely sceptical.

"No. There have never been any plants in the room." Quatre answered, confusion lacing his clear voice.

"And the chair! It wasn't facing that way before!" Wufei cried and he ran over to the other side of the table. "And that definitely was not here before." He shouted, pointing at the small stuffed white bunny sitting on the chair.

Quatre followed Wufei and looked down at the stuffed toy that seemingly sat comfortably on the large black armchair; its small beady eyes looking up at him innocently. What the… Maybe he needed glasses, he could've sword for a second there that the plushie had sweatdropped. "Well Wufei, I think you need a rest. Maybe you didn't get a very good sleep last night…"

"I'm not crazy! I know what I saw!" Wufei insisted glaring at the platinum blonde boy with let out a short chuckle.

"I'm not saying you're crazy, Wufei. Just advising you to get some rest." Quatre benignly replied.

As the two continued to converse Usagi sighed mentally. Come on, guys! I can't stay in this form forever! The fur is so hot! She should've left the room when she had the chance, she should've known that the suspicious teen would come back.

"We were taught to always be on the lookout for something out of ordinary, and this is out of ordinary!" Wufei debated heatedly pointing at Usagi once again.

Quatre tried to hide an oncoming sigh, "How can a stuffed toy sitting down on an arm chair be out of ordinary?" he asked, trying to keep the amusement out of his voice.

"It could be a bomb in disguise! Someone was in the room. I know it!" Wufei reasoned, trying to get the blonde boy to see his point of view.

"It can't be a bomb, Wufei! Look." Quatre started to reach for the small plushie.

"No! Don't touch it Quatre, you'll activate it! You have to handle it with tweezers!" A new cheery voice joined it jokingly.

"You stay out of this Maxwell!" Wufei shouted, his face started to turn red in anger and slight embarrassment. "That's not funny!"

"You seriously need to unwind, Wu-man! I mean, come on. You're paranoid. Just because we've encountered some minor trouble last night, you've been jumpy." Duo replied.

"Why you…!"

"That's enough. Wufei, just get some rest please. I'm not taking anyone's side, nor am I saying you're crazy, Wufei." Quatre mediated with utmost patience.

Wufei glared at Duo and the small toy on the chair before sighing and letting the subject go. "Alright, fine." He muttered, leaving the room mumbling about sly spies.

Duo stared after Wufei with a mock woeful look, "Wufei's losing it." He sighed dramatically.

Quatre frowned at his friend, "Duo, don't start." He sighed as he picked up the white bunny and both of them left the room.

-:-

Ack! I've got to get awaaaay! Usagi thought desperately as she stared at the ground that loomed in and out of her sight as the boy named Quatre held her by the waist and was swishing her backwards and forwards as he walked. It was starting to make her feel nauseous. It was like one of those theme park rides that won't stop!

Usagi squeezed her eyes shut so that she wouldn't have to look at the sickening sight of the quick moving ground. But she could still feel her body defy gravity and make her stomach tumble, turn and twist.

"Quatre, can I see the plushie?" Duo asked and got Usagi handed to him. "Hey, haha! Look, it's got Wufei-looking eyes!" Duo cackled loudly.

"What?"

"Look at its eyes!" Duo gasped as he continued to guffaw and point at the face of the bunny.

Quatre couldn't stop the slight smile that made its way to his face despite him trying to suppress it. The stuffed toy's eyes were only two horizontal lines. Something struck him. "That's funny, I could've sword it's eyes were open in the office." Quatre frowned.

Duo gave him a sidelong glace. "You're not going to do a Wufei on me now, are ya?" he asked slowly, a teasing smirk appearing on his lips.

Quatre shook his head, "Don't start, Duo. Don't start." Hmm… maybe I need some rest too. Quatre thought uneasily.

Duo started to laugh and push the toy into Quatre's face. "It's alive…! It's alive!"

Usagi resisted the urge to sweatdrop as she was squashed into Quatre's face several times. Duo, you don't know how right you are. She thought ironically.

"Duo, will you stop that?" Quatre sighed, pushing the toy away from his face.

"Heh, ok. Well, I'm gonna go change. See ya, Q-man!"

-:-:-:-:-:-

Duo whistled and propped the white toy upon the very edge of his bed and grinned at it. "I think I'll call you… Wufei-da-second!" he decided and started to laugh again.

Usagi suppressed a sweatdrop and a sigh. Of all the names he could come up with… this must be one of the most unoriginal ones.

Duo let out a deep breath and wiped his eyes, "I crack myself up."

Usagi sweatdropped and she had to open her eyes for a second. There as no way she could've held it in.

Duo blinked several times. "Did you just… nah… haha!"

Usagi very slowly opened one eye to watch Duo so that she could make her escape.

He got up with a grin and turned side-on to the toy as he stretched and pulled off his black top in one movement to reveal a well-built chest. Walking over to his drawers, he bent down, the muscles of his six-pack rippling nicely. Usagi's eyes popped opened and widened a red hue immediately covering her face at the sight she was so graciously presented with.

Oh, kami-sama. How can someone have such a perfect bod- Hey! What I thinking? I should be trying to make an escape! Usagi reprimanded herself. Bad, bad Usagi!

She closed her eyes and clapped her hand- err… paws together; the soft material that she was made of made no noise. White wisps of smoke appeared around her and she teleported outside.

Duo turned to look at the bed and was surprised to find the toy gone. "Huh? Wufei-da-second? Where are ya?" he cried in distress.
