Chapter 3

The rest of the class passed without incident and before she knew it, Relena was packing up her things and heading out the door. As she made her way out through the door, Relena heard Mr. Loaden ask Hilde to stay back for a minute. So Relena left and closed the door behind her, as she was the last one out.

Relena walked a little way away from the door to wait for Hilde. She hadn't been waiting long before Hilde walked out of the classroom.

"That was quick," Relena remarked.

"Yeah," Hilde agreed. "He just wanted to tell me to make sure I got my homework done this time."

"I see," Relena replied as she moved away from the wall where she had been leaning.

"Anyway, what class do you have next?" Hilde asked.

"I've got a spare and then I have gym," Relena told her after a quick check of her schedule.

"Do you want to hang our with me and some of my friends during your spare?"

"I don't know," Relena said. "I usually like to use my spares to get some of my homework done."

"Are you some kinda school nerd? Hilde questioned, beginning to wonder if she had Relena figured out all wrong.

"No, it's just that I like to use my time at home to do things that I want to and not have school work," Relena explained. "And if I don't keep my marks up my step mother is gonna know what something is up."

"What do you mean?" Hilde asked as the two girls walked down the hall in the mass of bodies.

"My brother pulled me out of school and my step mother knows nothing about it," Relena explained.

"Why did he pull you out of your old school?" Hilde wondered.

"Because there was a gang establishing its territory there." Relena told Hilde as she followed Hilde down a set of stairs to the main floor. "And apparently he didn't do his homework too well."

"Yeah." Hilde said as the pair reached the main floor only to find that there was a rather big group of students in a circle. "I wonder what's up?"

"I don't know, but it looks like it's about to be broke up," Relena commented with a nod of her head.

Hilde glanced in the direction that Relena had indicated coming towards the group where two teachers didn't look too happy. Not thinking about the fact that Relena didn't know she was an Angel, Hilde let out a loon call to warn any other Angels around there. Then Hilde turned back to Relena and saw her shocked expression.

"I'll explain later." Hilde rushed as she grabbed Relena's arm. "Right now let's get out of here."

Seeing the wisdom behind the words, Relena didn't protest as Hilde pulled her down the hall. Relena looked over her shoulder to see that the teachers were irritated that a warning had been given and that they had no idea what had gone on. Hilde kept pulling Relena's arm until they were outside and didn't stop until the two of them were standing under a tree on the grass.

"You want my to explain now, don't you?" Hilde said.

"It would be nice to know exactly who you are, yes." Relena replied.

"Well you already know that I'm an Angel, or at least that's what the look you gave me told me. What you don't know is that I'm one of the leaders." Hilde explained. "I didn't tell you before because I didn't want you to be intimidated by the fact that you were talking with a gang member. Especially after what you told me why your brother got you to transfer."

"I'm not that easy to intimidate, Hilde." Relena told her. "I don't care what makes up the person, I judge people on their actions. You're in a gang, fine. I don't know what kind of gang it is so I can't really say anything about it."

Hilde tilted her head to one side looking at Relena intently for a minute before saying, "You're a really strange girl, you know that."

"Yes actually, I do know that." Relena smiled.

"Well what are we going to do now?" Hilde wondered.

Before Relena could answer her, a voice called out Hilde's name. Both girls looking in the direction of the voice and saw a group of girls heading their way. With them Relena spotted Dorothy Catalonia. Dorothy must have noticed her as she turned to the girl next to her and smirked.

"What are you doing over here, prep?" Dorothy asked.

"Last I checked, this was a public school, so I can go where I want." Relena shot at her.

"Yeah but that's not what I meant." Dorothy shot back. "You're a prep from a private school, so what the hell are you doing at a public school?"

"So what if I transferred from a private school? That doesn't mean that I'm a prep nor does it mean that I have any less right to attend a public school if I choose." Relena told Dorothy, refusing to back down. "If you don't like me to damn bad for you. I'm not going to change schools again just because some stupid gang is there. So you might as well just get used to seeing me around cause I'm not leaving."

The group of Angels stood in shock as Relena flipped her hair over her shoulder and walked away.

"You see what I mean, Hilde?" Sally asked as she walked over to stand beside her. "That girl refuses to be intimidated."

"Yeah I do." Hilde said thoughtfully.

"That's not necessarily a good thing, you know that right," Cathy said as she and Dorothy joined the two leaders. "We can't have some girl go around standing up to us all the time. If word got out that would seriously hurt the gang's rep."

"I'm well aware of that, Cathy," Hilde told her, "but what if we could get her to join us? She would be a good asset to the gang."

"That may be Hilde, but what about our rep when word gets out that we let preps into the gang?" Dorothy challenged.

"She's not that much of a prep, really." Hilde replied. "You saw her this morning and then again just now. In Math, Loaden caught us passing notes, and she did something with the note so quick that I thought that she was giving it to him. It turned out that she had switched it with her school map. Where her map came from I have no idea."

"So she has a few good tricks up her sleeve, so what? She is a private school chick." Dorothy said.

"True, but we have made allowances for private school chicks before," Sally cut in, effectively shutting Dorothy up. "I think that an invitation should be extended to her."

"I agree," Hilde said, "I'm gonna find her after school and see if she wants to go clubbing with us tonight. We can go from there."

"Sounds good to me," Sally agreed. "Now that we have that settled, on to other business."

"What other business?" Hilde asked.

"Natalie spotted a Demon tattoo earlier today." Cathy told her. "He wasn't a high level member but a Demon non-the-less."

"We don't have to worry to much about the Demon gang." Hilde said. "They're still just a small gang and all guys."

"How do you know that, Hilde?" a slight built girl asked.

"Because I used to hang with a guy that was recruited by them," Hilde told the girl with a small smile on her face. "We used to be best friends, but once he joined the gang, well you know how it all goes."

"How long has it been since he was recruited?" the girl asked.

Hilde smiled once again and said, "About three years."

"Then how do you know that they're just a small gang?" the girl asked. "I mean three years is a long time."

"Because no one has really heard anything about them and they've been around for a few years, Lauren."

"Then how did you recognize the tattoo, Nat?" asked Lauren.

"Like Hilde, I used to hang with a guy who joined the Demons." Natalie, who was a little taller than Hilde with auburn hair and green eyes, answered. "However, he still gives me the occasional phone call so that I know that he's still around."

"We could use that you know," Sally said. "Does he know that you're in a gang?"

"No he doesn't and no I won't betray him." Natalie told her guessing the reason behind the question.

Before Sally could say anything, Hilde cut in. "You don't have to worry about that. We'll find some other way to get out info. But you do realize that once he finds out you're part of our gang and we are getting info on them, he may suspect you."

"I'll deal with that if and when the situation arises." Nat told her.

"Fine, now I do believe that we all have places to be." Hilde told them, and it was clearly a dismissal.

"Why aren't you going to have Nat tell us anything?" Sally asked as the other girls walked away.

"Because I couldn't ask that of her. I wouldn't blame her if she gave us false info if we did force her." Hilde said. "One reason that I respect Nat so much is because she is loyal."

"I guess that I see your point," Sally said. "I'll just have to see what else I can come up with then."

"I'm sure that you can figures something out." Hilde assured her. "Right now I have somewhere to be, so I'll see you later."

"Yeah later." Sally said as Hilde turned and walked away.

Two Angel's who used to hang with two Demons', Sally thought, what are the chances of that happening. I wonder what kind of relationship they all had. Sally shook the thought off. Whatever the relationship, both girls had made it fairly clear that the guys in question were lost in the past. Sally mentally shrugged her shoulders before she headed off to her class.

Hilde wandered aimlessly around the school campus, her thoughts all muddled. Some were different ideas on how to get Relena to join the gang, others about what the presence of a Demon at the school could mean, and still others were about a long haired boy from her past. Hilde sighed at the last group of thoughts. She hadn't thought about him in a long time. Now that the Demons had been sighted, it seemed like she couldn't think of anything else.

All of a sudden a sharp whistle split through the air snapping Hilde out of her thoughts. Looking around Hilde noticed that she was in the school parking lot. Hearing some catcalls, Hilde looked to her left and saw a group of guys sitting on a black Barracuda calling her.

I wonder if these guys have any idea who they're calling, Hilde thought as she slowly walked over to them, not worrying about her tattoo as it was well hidden.

"What can I do for you boys?" Hilde asked in her sexiest voice.

"I have an idea or two what you can do for me." One of them jeered.

"To bad she wouldn't want anything to do with a runt like you." Another told the first guy.

"Why don't you say that to my face?!" the first one challenged, turning around.

As he turned around, Hilde got a look at his arm. On it was a tattoo of demon wings filled in with gray. These guys are all Demons, Hilde thought as she tried to keep her features calm and controlled. She must not have done that well as one of the guys asked if she was all right.

"Yeah, I'm fine." Hilde answered as a blue Viper pulled up and four guys got out.

At first all Hilde could do was stare at the guy who got out of the front passenger seat. He had a medium build with long chestnut hair pulled back in a braid and stunning violet eyes. It was almost if she had stepped back into one of her memories. That was until she remembered that she was an Angel, a leader at that, and he was in a rival gang. A gang that was on Angel turf.

"What are you guys doing?" the braided boy asked the group of guys sitting on the car.

"Nothing much," the first guy answered, "just trying to get this chick to come with us."

"You guys are trying to pick up women, when you were sent on a scouting assignment?" asked the black haired onyx eyed driver. "What baka's."

"Hey she came on to us." The first one held up his hands.

"I came on to you?" Hilde said in disbelief. "Excuse me, but I was minding my own damn business when you fuckers called me over."

"Watch your tounge, girl," said a guy who looked like he was a boxer, "you have no clue who you are dealing with."

"Neither do you." Hilde shot back. "If I were you guys, I would clear off before any Angel's see you."

"Angel's?" the onyx eyed one asked raising one eyebrow.

"Yeah," Hilde said shifting her stance slightly, "they're the gang that resides around here."

"A gang called the Angels?" the boxer sneered. "What are they a bunch of powder puffs?"

This caused all of the guys to laugh except the braided one. He was studying Hilde very intently. Something was very familiar about her but he just couldn't put his finger on it.

Before Hilde could say anything in defense of her gang, she heard a dove's coo and smiled. Some of the girls would be waiting if she needed them.

"What are you smiling at?" the first guy demanded.

"Nothing much." Hilde answered. "Why do you think that the Angels are a bunch of powder puffs?"

"Well just look at the name," the onyx eyed driver said. "What guy in their right mind would call himself an Angel?"

"For your information," Hilde started to say while cocking her hips, "there are no guys in the Angels. It's an entirely all girl gang."

"So what are a bunch of girls going to do to us?" the boxer laughed.

"Hey, Hil," a voice called from across the parking lot.

Everyone looked in the direction the voice had come from to see a group of girls making their way over to where the two cars were parked. Hilde grinned when she saw Sally there with Dorothy, Cathy, and Natalie.

"What's up, girls?" Hilde asked the girls as they walked up.

"Not much Hilde, not much." Cathy replied calmly. "We just came over to see what was up here."

Duo's POV (like you didn't know that it was him ^_^)

Unknown to the group of girls, the guy with the braid seemed to pay more attention to the blue haired girl. It can't be Hilde, the logical part of his brain told him. But look at her, said a small voice at the back of his head, her name is Hilde and it sure looks like her.

"Hilde?" he whispered to himself.

Hilde's POV

It wasn't that loud but the wind carried it to her. The voice that she had been so sure that she loved years ago, saying her name right behind her. It was enough to send chills down her back. Slowly Hilde turned around to face Duo but didn't say anything.

"Is it really you?" Duo asked a little louder, not really caring about the looks that he was getting from his fellow gang members.

"Yes Duo," Hilde replied, "it's me."
