So now on with the story….

^^^^

As the sun beamed down on her unprotected head and the scorching heat burned her pale skin. She reach up, wiping a sweaty bang away from her eyes, she squinted and unconsciously licked her parched lips. `Damn…It's so…hot.' Finally after what seemed like an eternity, she reached for the steel handlebars.

"Sorry I'm late…" Hotaru mumbled as she stepped into the cool shelter of the store.

"It's ok Hotaru, here have some water." Out of nowhere a bottle of mineral water headed her way. If it wasn't for her fast reflexes that water could have flown into the glass door behind her.

"Quatre?" Hotaru questioned with a puzzled look upon her soft features. "What are you doing here?"

"Humph. Weak Onna looks like she's going to faint at any moment." Wufei said as he stepped into the room also. "Are you sure she past the exam by herself?"

Anger flowed through her body. Her fist curled automatically, without her knowledge, her eyes narrowed and changed to deadly hue of darker purple laced with black. Her body tensed, all she wanted to do was to strike out at him. "Wha-"

"Yeah, she did. The highest score out of all the employees in the past, too. Not only that she also caught a shoplifter. You have to give her credit for that Wu-man." Duo said as he came from the back with a folder on her test score.

"My name is Wufei. NOT Wu-man, Maxwell." Wufei gritted out with an infuriated face.

Blink, all anger gone, Hotaru fought to giggle. "So what are you guys doing here?"

"Well it's been a long time and we just wanted to hang." Quatre explain and sat behind the counter. "Duo should have called you but you weren't home so…I guess you could stay."

Wufei who was sitting down on one of the benches was about to refuse when Duo came from behind and clamped a hand over Wufei's mouth. "It'll be great if you stay!" Poor Duo didn't see Wufei's eyes narrow till they were only thin slits of black… "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!!!!!!!" Duo shouted as he ran around the shop holding his poor hand.

"Baka." Wufei said.

"Well if you guys don't need me…I guess I'll go. I have to take care of some stuff anyways." She answered as she walked towards the door.

"Ok then see ya tomorrow." Duo said and waved.

Dark Prussian blue followed Hotaru out of the store and lingered on her till she turned the next corner.

&*&*&*&

That girl… "Yo Heero would you come out already!" Duo's obnoxiously loud voice yet again carried to the end of the shop.

"…"

"…Err…ok then suit yourself."

Hotaru…That girl. Heero stood up. He remembered how her eyes turn so dark that it had almost appeared like a dark cloud had covered her eyes. He could almost feel her strength…she wasn't common. There is another side of her…a darker one. Interesting. Heero began to walk out the back door and into the employee's room. There were six lockers. One for each of them and one for the employee. He walked towards his locker, when he noticed something sitting on the table. Sighing he walked over, yet again another box of chocolate. Its red plastic cover was sprinkled with little pink hearts. A letter attached to it in a clear, neat, fancy handwriting: To Heero…From your one and only love Relena.

"Yo another one?" Duo asked as he stood next to Heero and looked at the box. "She seems to like you very much. I mean she has been giving you chocolate boxes every day…since last year. What's up with the your one and only love thing?"

"…" Heero shoved the box in Duo's hand. "You can have it."

"Oyi Heero that's not a nice thing to do I mean she did by this for you."

"I don't have time for little girl crushes there are much better things to do than waste time thinking about something that is completely worthless." Heero responded, as he placed his hand on the locker. A small clicking sound was heard and the lock opened.

"Ok, ok I get you…Sooo whatcha think about Hotaru?" Duo asked.

"…"

"Fine don't answer like you always do." Duo said and left.

As he fished out his navy blue jacket and locked up his locker, he noticed spotted something on the floor. Scooping up the fallen piece of paper he noticed that there was various codes on it. `Odd…did one of them drop this?' Heero thought. `I'll find out later.' Folding it up and placing it in his pocket, he then left.

^*^*^*^*

At The Girls House…

"Where did I put it?!" Hotaru's agitated voice was heard through the house.

"Where did you put what Hotaru?" Serena's voice rang from the other room.

"Oh…nothing just somepaperwithalotofstuffonit." Hotaru said very quickly, praying that Serena wouldn't go into the subject.

"Just some wha?" Serena asked. "You want me to help."

"FOUND IT!!!!!"

"Never mind…"

Hotaru quickly let out a sigh. Boy…that was close. If Serena would have volunteer to help it could have led to some unpleased things. Such as the box full of arsenals under her bed…. `Were did I put it?' She frowned. Hotaru had located a file in the Hudson's mainframe. It codes for the information that was based on her training and past. The problem was…she misplaced the last page. Letting out yet another irritated sigh she stood up and walked out to her balcony.

Closing her eyes she let the wind play with her hair, as it's soft cooling touch soothed her frustrated nerves. Placing a hand on one of her cheeks, which were pink from the heat, she leaned down on the balcony. That file was very important. It holds the key to her past and probably her future…if only she could find the last page. Opening her eyes she stared up at the millions of little lights from afar that seems to be winking at her.

"Hotaru, dinner!" Ami's stifled voice came from behind the door.

"Coming." Hotaru said…standing up she straighten out her shirt and tucked a short strand of hair behind her ear. "I guess I have to search for it next time…"

***(***(*)*

"Yo it's almost the 4th of July…you know what that means!" Duo said as he bounced around the large, yet neat kitchen, of the boys' mansion.

"Clam down Maxwell. You sure you added that score right?" Wufei asked from the living room. " There is just no way that onna could get a high score…Her rank is almost equally to-"

"She is just a talented girl." Quatre said as he served the tea. "I checked up on her background and it's clean."

"Did you check close enough?" Wufei persisted; one of his eyebrows has now developed a quirking motion.

"It's not really required, I mean if she was a bad person then Heero could have caught her right away. He never fails to get one of them anyways." Quatre answered smoothly. "You like yours plain right?"

"Yes. Thank you." Wufei nodded as he received the cup of warm liquid. "But it's odd…don't you think so Yuy?"

"…" Heero sat on the window ledged and started out at the moonlit sky, after awhile he turns towards them. "She's hiding something."

"There you see." Wufei said with a victory smirk. "I told you onnas aren't to be trust-"

"Wufei you said that over and over." Duo said as he sat down next to Quatre and took the cup of tea from Quatre's hand and added to huge spoonfuls of `sugar' and then milk to the cup, completely ignoring Quatre's bothered face. "It's been two months already, if she was a bad guy she should have strike by now."

"What happens if she's waiting for orders?" Wufei said and took a sip from the delicate china cup.

"She's innocent." Duo said and took a huge gulp for his tea….That was then when his face became a pale green.

"Duo…" Quatre said. "I was trying to get your attention…."

Duo's face looked even greener.

"That was dirt you put into your-" Before Quatre finished his sentence Duo had already ran for the kitchen sink.

"Baka…" Wufei said, as he looked very interested in the blue, gold and pick swirls on his cup. But all the in room could tell that he was trying to suppress a smile.

Heero looked out the window again, for some unknown reason Hotaru Tomoe was a mystery to him…a mystery that he was impatient to unravel. Thing was…he was always interested mysteries. His combat eyes looked at the twinkling lights of the city…

^**^**^**^**^

A week later…

"Hi my name is Relena Peacecarft." A bonded hair girl held out her hand. "I know you're new here and I'm suppose to show you around the place."

"My name is Ribbon Wa." Said the medium height Asian. Her eyes were the color of the sky it contrasted greatly with her black hair. "Excuse me but I'm looking for a friend of mine here…"

"Sure thing. What's your friend's name?" Relena asked.

"Hotaru…" The girl answered.

"Well I wouldn't know if we had new transferred in the last month or so since I was out on a trip with my family…but I don't think there is a Hotaru here…"

"Oh…thank you then." The girl flashed a lively smile. "So Relena, tell me is this a hard plus to get into?"

"No it's a public school after all. Why?" Relena's brows creased together.

"I just wanted to know."

"Well Ribbon, if you have any questions ask me." Relena smiled.

"So…Any attractive guys here?" Ribbon asked her eyes dancing with mischief.

Relena's face grew red… "Ahem….Well…Ahem…"

"I take that as a yes?"

"Yes…there is quite a few-" Relena answered. This girl who does she think she is? But then again she is pretty and she has just transferred here but is already quite popular amongst the boys…She also seems very cunning too…But I won't let her have MY Heero.

"Any of them you like?" Blue eyes regard the girl in front of her.

"Hey wait this question is not-"

"I was just asking…Gees you don't have to explode on me." The blued eyed girl said and lean back on her chair. "Friends tell friends stuff ya know."

"Class has ended have a safe weekend." The teacher announced and the students rushed out.

The girl walk to an old apartment house. discarding her books and pack she walked to the restroom. Looking at the mirror she smiled. "Hotaru I'm coming to get you." Removing the contacts and she throw the wing to the wall. Gretchen smirked at the mirror as she pictured Hotaru's face in fright. The phone rang from outside.

"Hello?"

"Gretchen, where you triumphant?" Mrs. Hudson asked from the other line.

"Yes. I was able to get into the school, But I failed to find IT."

"Good work, dear. Just try your best."

"I will." Gretchen answered.

"Get some sleep you must be tried." Mrs. Hudson said and hung up.

As she sulks to the kitchen and made herself a meal she sat down and ate. She was sent here from Japan to find…IT.

~*~*~* FLASHBACK!*~*~*~

"What do you mean she left?" Mrs. Hudson's enraged voice echoed in the room.

"She left." Mr. Hudson said quietly.

"Isn't that for the better?" Gretchen asked. Clearly she was happy that Hotaru is now out of the way.

"No…This is bad. I thought that at least I could have killed her before she left…" Mrs. Hudson said to herself.

"What do you mean?" Gretchen asked confused.

"Hotaru could tell other people about us…about this family…This could be the down fall of our generation!" Mrs. Hudson shouted.

"No…" Gretchen gasped in feign surprise.

"We have to find her!"

"Yes! YES! We must!"

The family then developed the plan. It was then when she was assigned the mission to bring back Hotaru Tomoe.

~*~*~*End~*~*~

Not much longer… Gretchen thought as the time slowly clicked by…
