Chapter 8: Socializing, Chasing, and Mission Knowing.
Duo squealed for help as he ran past Rei and Usagi. Both girls stared after him a moment then looked at each other. "Uh Oh." Usagi murmured.
"Run." Dust sprayed up behind them as they took off running after Duo. Wufei burst into the room where they once stood, sparks flying from his eyes and a vein popping out on his temple. Paint was dripping from every part of his body, and ribbons were hanging loosely from his hair.
"Prey." He growled as he watched the three people run, "The hunt begins now."
Hotaru and Quatra sat in the living room enjoying the tea Quatra had just poured for them; Lita and Heero had just walked through the door. Three blurs sped by followed by a.. Wufei.
"Um. should I ask?" Lita glanced at Heero.
"Probably not." Quatra sipped at the tea. "It's quite normal."
"Hai. I've figured that out." Hotaru said in agreement. She glanced up at Lita, "Hello. I'm Hotaru Maxwell."
"Lita Kino, his partner." She gave the ebony haired girl a smile. "Nice to meet you."
"Same. Join us?"
"Sure." Lita took a seat next to Hotaru and took the tea that Taru had poured for her. "Thanks."
"Why are you acting strange?" Heero asked looking at Lita who was grinning.
"Because there are nice people here who you're living with so I might as well socialize. Unlike some people I know."
Hotaru chuckled, "He-chan isn't that bad." Hotaru commented.
"...." Lita blinked, "Are you his girlfriend or something Hotaru?"
Hotaru sweat dropped, "No. I'm his," She pointed to Quatra, "girlfriend. I'm his," She pointed the braided blur that flew by once again, "sister. And his," She pointed to Heero, "friend."
"Is that all?" Lita said falling out of her chair.
"Well. There's Usagi and Rei. I grew up with them."
"Oh okay."
Heero sighed and plopped onto the chair next to Lita's. "So Heero, she's your partner?"
"Ex partner." Lita corrected, "Before he was sent to Earth. So I take it you're one of the pilots?" Quatra nodded, "And you know?" Hotaru nodded, "Figures. So do you know anything about fighting?"
"Uh. not really." Hotaru said. "Should I?"
"Probably."
"Why would Taru need to know how to fight, Ms. Lita?" Quatra asked, his hand seeking out and finding Hotaru's. She squeezed his and sent him a small smile.
"Our mission. Heero hasn't informed me of all the details, but I'm sure you don't want to leave Hotaru alone here where she has no protection. And those other two girls. Rei and Usagi right?"
"Hai." Heero said. "And I agree. They should have some training."
"Who's going to train us? And what sort of mission do you have?" Hotaru asked. "Or is it secret?"
"It's no secret Taru-chan." Quatra said.
"There's a new organization that's trying to destroy peace Relena has worked so hard to create. Our job is to infiltrate one of the bases and download as much information as possible. It's going to be tough since we know none of their weakness. yet." Heero said.
"That's the most I've heard you talk." Hotaru said with a smile. "I'm not sure how we'll be able to help though."
"I can think of a few ways." Lita smirked, "And they involve looking and acting like the woman you are." She winked at Hotaru and grinned at the two boys. "Here's the plan.."
