"Hey Hild! Do ya mind speeding it up a little?! I mean It's not like we're gunna be late or anything!"

"Just hold the hell on Duo! God! You're so damn impatient!"

Huffing slightly, he mumbled a `whatever' over his Cocoa Pebbles. Standing, he hurriedly shoved his ratty text books into his backpack, grabbed the keys and shouted, "I'm in the car, and either your ass is too, in five minutes or you're hitch-hiking!"

Duo, an exuberant youth of seventeen, was a junior student at the local private high school. His parents had saved enough money for himself and his sister to attend a private school before they passed away six years prior. His sister was eighteen, and therefore took care of her younger brother, removing him from his foster home almost two years earlier.

Duo himself was about 6'1 with a slender but strong build. He had long honey-kissed locks withheld in a thick rope down his back, and slightly tanned skin, thanks to the golden sun of the California coast. He was an unusually handsome young man, with a heart-shaped face, and boyish features. The vibrant beauty of his large indigo eyes, however, over shadowed these features. These assets, plus his athletic talent, led to him being one of the star jocks on his schools football team, and one of the most popular boys in school.

Duo quickly slammed the door to his black Jeep Wrangler and started the car. Just then his older sister, Hilde, came running through the front door. Hilde was a senior and was also president of the student council. She was a pretty girl with pale skin, a soft face, and shapely figure. Her short, dark hair accentuated her small, denim blue eyes.

Quickly jumping in the front seat, she smeared a peach lipstick and added a small barrette to her flyaway hair, and began to pull out a compact. "Hild, pull down your skirt! You look like a slut with it rolled up like that!" Duo chastised angrily, as he zoomed down the road.

"Only if you button up your shirt, slob." she replied calmly, without looking away from the mirror. "Fine! Hurry up we're here!" Duo screeched into the parking lot and hopped out of the car quickly searching for his friends.

"God I hate school," he complained, "why can't spring break be longer? Ah well, See ya Hild!" Duo shouted, already seeing his friends. "Bye Duo! Be good please! No more detentions!" With that the senior walked briskly to join her boyfriend, Zechs, and her friends.

"Duo! Hey Duo over here!" a small blonde boy shouted excitedly. Duo quickly spotted him and five more of his jock friends. "Hey Quat! How is everybody?" Duo inquired loudly, as the boys entered the school and walked down the hallway.

The small group of popular boys consisted of Quatre, the sweet Arabian, Trowa, the tall, silent one, and Wufei, the justice-ranting Chinese. As they walked down the hallway, the student population spread and parted to accommodate them.

"Fine, Maxwell. Did you enjoy your time off?" Wufei said. "Sure did, Wu! I slept and ate and slept and than I ate some more!" Duo said proudly. "Maxwell do NOT call me `Wu' it's not my name" Wufei protested indignantly.

"Sure thing Wu." Duo retorted tauntingly. " For the love of…" Wufei was however quickly cut off by Quatre who quietly tried to stop a potential argument by saying, "Hey! Did you guys hear there's a new student transferring here from Russia? They say she's Japanese!"

"I did hear something about that. She's supposed to be here on a government grant." Trowa said. "Well I don't care where the hell she's from, or why, as long as she hot!" Duo added crudely. "Duo! Is that you can think of?" Quatre scolded slightly. The taller boy grinned lazily, "Naw. I'm just teasin', this schools so damn big we probably won't even see her until next week!" he said right before crashing into a small figure.

"Oof!" The small being said as she quickly toppled, her backpack hitting the floor with a thud. Duo, however, reacted suddenly jerking forward to grab the small body before it impacted the floor. Pulling the fragile body to his chest he soon realized he was holding a complete stranger in a rather intimate way.

He looked down to see a small bundle of bright yellow curls nestled into his chest. The small head slowly lifted and the soft lashes fluttered to reveal large warm brown eyes. Gasping quietly Duo quickly breathed an apology.

"It's alright." The decidedly feminine voice said with a slight accent. She was small, probably barely five-foot, and she had honey golden, flawless skin. She had high, defined cheekbones, a small, pert nose, small, but full lips, and large slanted eyes that were warm and beautiful. She was thin, with well-defined legs, and arms, but small perky breasts. All in all the boys found her exotic beauty, breath-taking.

Snapping out of his stupor "You need any help?" the flustered American offered hastily, as he bent over to pick up the forgotten books. "Oh, Thank you." the girl said timidly. "No problem!" Duo beamed at the girl handing her the books. "I'm Duo, and you would be?" he asked extending his hand.

The small girl blinked for a moment, thinking about what she would say next, "M-my my name is..." she stumbled over her words. Duo's brows knitted together for a moment trying to see why the girl was so painfully shy, while his friends merely raised eyebrows at the beautiful girl.

"Kurai." she finally breathed out softly, "My names Kurai." she finally raised her hand to shake the taller boy's. One brow lifted after the other as Duo found himself unable to contain the happy stretch of his lips. Smiling down on the girl he marveled at the delicate skin, and found himself hesitant to let her hand go.

It seemed a small connection had formed within those precious moments that their hands were clasped, before a ruffle of spiky dyed bleach blonde hair came into vision, "Hey there." He said smoothly, taking the small hand out of Duo's grasp and placing it in his own. "My name's Kyle. It's a pleasure to meet such a beautiful girl."

Duo nearly bared his teeth in anger at the intrusion of his rival, Kyle Lincross. The boy was tall and beefy, with bleach blonde hair and beady black eyes. He was also co-captain of the football team, after Duo. He seemed to be dating, and sleeping with a different girl every week. Duo and his friends couldn't stand him

Those deep hazelnut eyes blinked in confusion, "W-why thank you." She nearly whispered, looking down. Kyle grinned toothily, as Quatre rolled his aquamarine eyes. "Your dumb charm won't work on her Kyle." He intoned, and smiled as the girl looked up to him. Kyle only smiled a sarcastic smile, "Hey Fag, go fuck yourself." He cut, and released the girl's hand to walk up to Duo.

"Maxwell, we got practice after school. You comin?" He asked looking threateningly into Duo's bright eyes. "Yeah. You think I'd miss practice and let you fuck up the teams coordination?" Kyle sneered, but turned back to the small girl next to him, "Hey baby you should come by after school to watch me practice." He offered, leaning in closely to her small face.

Kurai fluttered her lashes nervously and looked down, blushing, "Uh-I don't think that would be possible, Kyle-san. I'm sorry." The bigger boy frowned at the decline but straightened to look down on her menacingly, "No problem. They'll be other times." He grinned maliciously and walked away followed by two of his friends.

"Sorry about that," Duo offered smiling sheepishly, "That guy's a jerk. I would strongly recommend staying away from him." The girl looked up into his eyes and smiled a tiny smile, nodding slowly. "Anyway," Duo continued, "These are my friends," he said spreading his arms out to display the three boys behind him. The slightly shorter Chinese youth was the first to step forward.

"Hello, Kurai-sama. I'm Chang Wufei." The dark haired boy said, bowing slightly. The girl's eyes widened and she quickly returned the bow. "Nice to meet you Chang-kun." Her dark eyes shifted to look at the tall boy next to him, "Trowa Barton." Was all he offered and nodded his head. She smiled and nodded back politely. Finally turning to last boy with the bright golden locks, Kurai smiled, "Nice to meet you. My names Quatre Winner." He said smiling happily and extending a hand.

Taking the pale hand, she nodded, then turned to look at the clock hanging on the school wall. "It was very nice meeting all of you. Now if you'll excuse me class is about to start." With that, said the blonde smiled once more at the tall braided boy and walked gracefully down the hallway, disappearing in the cloud of students.

Duo felt his heart, and not to mention his pants, leap as he watched the girl's short plaid skirt sway down the cramped hallway. Turning back to his friends, the violet-eyed boy grinned goofily, "That was the new girl." He stated, pointing his thumb over his shoulder in the direction the small blonde had left only moments before.

Quatre grinned lopsidedly in pity of his slightly pathetic friend, "Yeah, Duo we know." The blonde walked over and swung and arm over the taller boys shoulders and wiggled his brows suggestively, "I think you like the new girl." He stated smiling secretively, as they walked gradually down the hallway to their first classes.

Duo sighed, as he felt his stomach flutter at the thought of the girl, "Heh, you know what Quat?" Those aquamarine eyes twinkled, "Hmm?" he asked. "I think I do too." Duo stated grinning happily.
