*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Wufei dropped his katana. Had she been shot? /What happened? I heard a `bang' then I couldn't get her to answer me… Kisama, what if…/ He didn't even finish his thought before bolting out the door of the training room, down the stairs, and out the front door.

"I wonder what-" Duo began.

"-that was all about…" Heero finished his thought for him. Duo just nodded.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

/Shit! What could she have done to piss Hilde and Relena off so bad?! / He started up his Jaguar and sped down the road to Relena's.

The usual twenty-minute drive only took him about ten and a half. He had been going about ninety miles an hour, hoping he would get there in time to save her.

"Athena! Athena!" Wufei was screaming, searching for her. His car screeched to a halt as he spotted her.

She was hiding behind a tree, clutching her arm. Her hand was covered in blood. Athena was on the verge of passing out from lack of blood when she heard Wufei.

"W-Wufei?"

"You baka! What the Hell did you do?!" Wufei practically slid next to her, much in the way a baseball player would slide onto base.

"I t-told Relena and H-Hilde they were c-converters…" She said with a small laugh.

"Shit, we better get you back to the manor." He tore his shirt in half, revealing much of his well-chiseled upper body, and tied it around Athena's arm to help stop the bleeding. He then picked her up and sprinted back to his car, which was still running, and sped off.

"Domoarigato Wufei-chan, and gomen…"Athena muttered before passing out.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Two hours later, Athena awoke to find herself in a very comfortable bed, wrapped in a few blankets, and, much to her dismay, without clothes.

"Wonderful… I'm in someone's bed, most likely a person I don't know, I don't have my gun, and I'm no longer dressed." She rolled over onto her left arm. "Shit!" She rolled back onto her back. "Oh, and I almost forgot, I've been shot! For the love of Shinigami, will someone *please* tell me what the Hell is going on here!?"

"You're in Wufei's room." Trowa replied. He had been standing in the door sense she had woken up. "He brought you back here, told us you had gotten into a bit of trouble and had been shot. Heero took care of your arm. Your loving brother nearly killed Wufei after he realized you had been shot."

"Okay, that still doesn't explain why I have no clothes on…" Athena said, now slightly annoyed with Duo.

"We had to remove them. You were covered in blood. Quatre is currently attempting to get the stains out of it and your dress that was ruined last night." Trowa walked in and placed a tray next to her bed. "Be careful when you eat that, Wufei cooked."

This earned him a laugh from Athena. "Thanks Trowa."

"You know, he didn't leave your side until about ten minutes ago." He said with a satisfied smirk.

"Who?"

"Wufei. He seemed really worried about you…" His voice trailed off as he left the room, gently shutting the door behind him.

"So, what did she say Trowa?" Wufei was leaning against the wall in the hallway.

Trowa just smirked again. "Wouldn't you like to know."

"I know you said something about me. I heard you say my name." Wufei walked up to him, as if to tell Trowa he wasn't going anywhere without answering a few questions first.

"All I said was she was in your room. Why is that you care so much Wufei?" Wufei instantly blushed, causing Trowa's smirk to grow even bigger.

"I-I…" he just stomped off into his room.

"Hey Wufei." Athena was sitting up in his bed, smiling and trying to eat.

"Hey… How are you doing?" He walked over and sat on the end of the bed.

"I'm okay, my arm hurts a little."

"That's what those pills are for." He motioned to the pill bottle on the nightstand. "Um, before you passed out earlier, you said something in Japanese. I knew it was because Heero is constantly speaking in it."

"Oh, um, I speak Japanese fluently. I have a habit of speaking it when I'm tired or pissed." She was quite for a moment before speaking again. "W-what did I say…?"

"I think it was something like `domoarigato Wufei-chan and gomen'. I'm not really to sure."

"Um, domoarigato means `thank you very much' and gomen means `sorry'. And I am really sorry to make all of you guys worry about me…" She refused to look him in the face. She couldn't believe she called him `Wufei-chan'!

"But at the time, I was the only one who knew you had been shot. You knew that, so why did you apologize." Wufei was beyond confused. Just what was she apologizing for exactly?

"I-I… I did because you had to rush to my side and save me. I felt bad about that…" She blushed a little, then quickly covered her face to hide it.

"You shouldn't. You needed help, and I feel honored that you turned to me. You've only known me for a few days and-"

"But I feel like I've known you, all of you, so much longer! I've read so many letters from Duo about you and the other Gundam pilots." Her eyes grew wide in shock. She hadn't meant to say that. "Um…"

Wufei eyes had grown wide too. "How did you…?"

"Duo told me. He told me everything he knew about you and the rest of the boys."

"So… What all do you know about me?" Wufei said with a half-smile.

"Your name is Chang Wufei, last of the Long clan. You are 17 years old, the middle of the group, and you stand at 5'3". You were the pilot of the Shenlong gundam before you had it upgraded, then it was the Altron gundam. But you've always called you're gundam `Nataku' in honor of you're wife who was killed in battle. You lived to seek justice for her death. You are an expert in hand-to-hand combat and close-in fighting. You usually work alone. You are to be most feared when a person steps out of your moral standards."

"Wow…" Wufei was amazed. Duo didn't even know half of that information. "How do you know all that?"

"I have connections. Mainly Zechs. He was the one who gave Duo my first letter, helped me to find him, and got me a last name." She suddenly looked nervous. She had just said *way* too much…

"Zechs? As in the Gundam pilot Zechs Marquise?" She just giggled nervously in response to his question.

"What are you giggling about?" She just giggled harder, admiring him.

"You never changed did you?" She sounded like a schoolgirl sitting outside watching the shirtless guys play basketball.

"Huh…" He looked down at his shirt and a slight blush crept it's way across his features. "Um, no… I've been, um… busy."

"Busy keeping an eye over me?" Wufei instantly looked as if he was going to take the defensive, but Athena cut him off. "Trowa told me you only left my side to make some food just incase I woke up."

Wufei looked like a fish out of water. He would open his mouth as if he had something to say, then quickly shut it.

"Domoarigato Wufei, I really appreciate you worrying about me." She wrapped herself in the sheets, flung her legs off the side of his bed and stood up.

"Athena, you shouldn't be up!" Wufei rushed to her side and tried to make her lay back down.

"Ne, I'm fine." She leaned forward and attempted to place a kiss on his cheek but ended up placing one on his lips. Thus causing him to get a nosebleed and fall backward unconscious.

"Wu…Fei?"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Me: That's the next chapter people! Funny ending, ne? Poor Wufei… that boy needs to get some action and quick!

Wufei: Hey! I do not!

Me: Oh, so your saying you don't wanna *whispers citrus-worthy nothings in to his ear*

Wufei: *gets a nosebleed and falls unconscious*

Athena: *sighs* Poor `Fei… You're right Jen, he does need some action… then maybe when he hears something of a hentai nature, it won't knock him unconscious…

Me: Is that someone volunteering? *holds her hand to her ear*

Athena: *blushes* …

Duo: He better not touch my sis!

Heero: *whispers citrus-worthy promises in to Duo's ear* Are you going to calm down?

Duo: *growls* Calm down?!

Heero: …Nevermind…

Me: *O.o* Anyway, please review!!! I like reviews!! *jumps up and down like a cheerleader on Prozac*

Everyone but Jen and Wufei: *sweatdrop*
