Rating: PG, i guess...


PART THREE


"What should we name him?"

"Hmn." It didn't matter what the nasty thing was named; it would be gone soon enough. This house was the key to completing his mission. It was one of Quatre's in L3, and if any harm was to befall Relena's dear (a little too dear, in his opinion) friend's property, something was going to pay for it. A mental smirk traveled through Heero's brain before he heard her almost snarl at him.

"Heero Yuy! Answer my question! And don't even dare mentioning Boris Jude again!" Relena nearly shrieked.

"W.C."

Relena's expression returned to normal and she smiled at him gently. Well, she smiled down at the damn wet carpet, but the smile was meant for Heero Yuy. The expression's direction made Heero more resolved on his mission. A mission to re-obtain his mission. Odd?

"W.C.? What does that stand for?" she asked him, tearing a shocked Heero Yuy out of his dream world. Damn, he was getting rusty. Heero noted dutifully: Never, ever daydream while Relena was speaking to him?or anyone else? Okay, never, ever daydream while Relena was speaking. There.

"Winston Churchill," he said in a monotone. Phew, he almost
slipped up. Slipping up was not allowed and certainly wouldn't help his mission to re-obtain his mission. The Wet Carpet's ejection from Relena's life. Yes? Heero could just feel an evil laugh beginning in the back of his mind.

"Winston Churchill? Ah, I remember from tenth grade Earth History class. He was the leader of one of the European countries? Which one was it?"

"That would be England, my lady!" came a very annoying voice from outside of the kitchen. Duo sauntered in, grinning at his own very fake English accent. His braided head bobbed up and down as strode up next to Heero.

Relena looked up from her place at the table and smiled, though not his smile. "And, Duo, how would you come to know this little piece of information?"

"Because, ojou-san, I, being an American, would know about my own, as well as my root country's history. Plus, Hilde happens to be interested in that time frame." Duo shrugged and grinned, turning on a still irritated Heero Yuy. "Hey, buddy, why the long face? You get to be here, with ojou-san! What more could a man ask for (besides Hilde)?"

When Heero did not answer, Duo continued. "Aha! I know! I heard a very embarrassing situation happened to go on yesterday, hmn? Something about a clumsy klutz tripping over a poor, unsuspecting animal. And you associate yourself with Relena, the upholder of all human and animal rights, (and former Queen of the World/Princess of the Sanq Kingdom/daughter of the Vice Foreign Minister Darlian/current Vice Foreign Minister/sister to Zechs Merquise/Milliardo Peacecraft). And the fact that you tripped! I wish I had been there to see the expression on your face. And you call yourself an Ex-Gundam Pilot! Geez, buddy, you're giving us all bad names! Relena must have really been embarrassed. But I guess I'm the only one of us who can honestly say he still has all the skills."

Heero could feel his insides squirming. All he wanted to do at that moment was punch the annoying braided baka in the gut. He had to go and mention that incident again just as he got on Relena's good side! The Japanese man chanced a quick look over at the woman still clutching the mass of fur. Uh, oh. The look on her face confirmed his suspicions. She was angry again, scowling.

"Duo, don't rag on him like that! He did trip over WC, but at least he didn't kill the poor creature right there. He even agreed to pay for the procedures!"

Heero blinked. Then he smirked. Ha! That was as good, if not better, than a sock in the gut. That was below the belt! Let Duo counter that one, or even dare to contradict. Even the American knew about Relena's temper and when enough was enough.

"Uh, yeah, sure, ojousan! I was just teasing buddy over there! Everyone knows he's just as sharp as he was back in the good-ol' days when he always used to say he would kill everyone." Duo edged away cautiously.

Heero, completely secure in his own mind about Relena's image of himself, smirked, not bothering to notice the change in temper of the woman standing so close to him. When her calm, cool tone shook him from his inflated thoughts, he could feel a chill travel down his spine.

"Yes, Heero, that was another thing I never got to ask you about." Heero dearly wanted to interrupt and say that she hadn?t given him a chance in "answering", but that would have been even more harmful for his health. "Why exactly did you threaten a poor creature like WC, who now carries the name you gave him, may I add?"

His atom's apple rose and fell with a soft, though distinct, 'thug'.

Fortunately, Duo burst into the scene again. "WHAT?! You threatened a CAT?! Cat, omae o koroso!" Then, the tall, braided man burst into rolling laughter, promptly scaring the wits out of the wet carpet and of course, awakening Relena's protective nature. As she held on desperately to the squirming creature in her arms, she let out a bellow that shook the house to the roots, perhaps the entire colony.

"SHUTUP, DUO! You're scaring the CAT!"

Duo immediately shut up. "I gotta go," he all but whispered and raced out. Heero himself was now crouched in the shadows of the large hallway near the kitchen, the only evidence of his hasty escape the swinging door.

Relena blinked, glancing around the kitchen as she dropped the animal in her arms with a distinct 'thunk'. What in the world was wrong with everyone? She had never seen to men clear out of a room as quickly as those two. It was almost as if they were avoiding her. Whatever for? she wondered with a renewed sense of irritation

To be continued...

Alright, i know that Relena seems OOC, but I have a logical explanation in the fic for that.

We may get some 1/R action in the next chappie!
Be good and review! Pu-lease!
