~Subject: Wufei Chang~-
I didn't see the boss all of the next two days. Nor did I hear anything on the news about a dead body being found. Though, I was only able to actually 'watch' the news on the way to school, when I would pass the electronics store. They always have one of those small televisions in the display window, sound just barely audible.
There was never anything about Pair on the news though… and I was getting worried. Some part of me wanted the body to be found soon. Some part didn't want the body to be found at all… whatever happened… it would decide if I were to die or not. Well, I might die either way.
School was starting to become interesting. Only for one fact… one incident that had me cringing at first, but turned out to be rather rewarding.
It was lunch time, and raining. People were complaining because summer was ending… in my opinion it ended a long time ago. The outdoors was no longer a possibility, so everyone had to eat in the cafeteria… making it much more crowded. I was lucky to get there early and get a table to myself… far away from Treize, the flirt. Well… I had thought I would be sitting alone, thought I would be lucky… it wasn't to be.
Quatre Winner and a girl I recognized as Hilde Schbeiker were standing in the middle of the cafeteria, looking for somewhere to sit. And can you believe that there were only about three tables with room for them in the whole, giant cafeteria? Of course, they had to come over to mine. I could tell that the blond boy was a little hesitant as the energetic girl dragged him towards my table… his eyes were widened slightly. Made me think that he might actually be afraid of me…. which I didn't understand. I was the one suppose to be afraid of him, wasn't I?
"Hi! Mind if we sit here?" The girl, Hilde, didn't wait for my response and plopped herself down across from me, dragging the nervous Quatre with her.
"S-sorry to intrude." He mumbled softly, eyes lowering to the table.
Hilde made a face, obviously confused as to why the atmosphere at the table suddenly thickened. "Umm…" A smile appeared on her lips as she looked to me. "So what's your name?" I would have scowled at her if not too frozen in nervousness from the blond across from me.
I managed a mumbled, "Wufei." Before drawing attention to my food, trying my best to calm my raging pulse.
I could hear her sigh softly from where she sat across the table. I think she was become a little agitated with my non cooperation to her trying to lighten the mood.
"What is up with you two?!" She demanded after another minute or so of silence. I looked up from my food to see her with her arms crossed and glaring at Quatre. He seemed to have finally composed himself and was giving her a light smile in apology.
"Sorry Hil, I'm just a little tired." He said softly, biting his bottom lip afterwards.
I was a little shocked… he hadn't said anything about my situation for the week we've been in school… was he going to tell someone?
From the looks of him, he seemed really nice… one who probably wouldn't enjoy making fun of others. So did that mean that he wasn't going to tell anyone about me? Probably not. I shouldn't jump to conclusions. If someone knows some dark secret, then it is bound to get told sooner or later. No one can contain gossip for long.
"So Wufei…" Hilde's eyes squinted slightly as if she had just thought of something. "You went to my school last year didn't you?" Ugh, she just 'had' to bring that up. I think I saw her a couple times before, roaming the halls and other places. She was one of those… weird people. And I don't say that in a mean way… she's just really different. You can tell that by her hair of course. Who else but someone who wants to stand out would choose such a bright color. But, I'm not complaining… I think weird colored hair is much better than blond… and blond highlights… the thing almost every girl wants nowadays. For reasons I will never understand.
"Yes." I said, fidgeting slightly after my voice came out sounding a little dull.
"Yeah, I've seen you around! You used to be in the kendo club, huh?!" She seemed proud of herself for remembering that one. I internally groaned, thinking about kendo always made me depressed… because I could no longer do that sort of stuff… didn't have time for it. I always loved swords. Wanted to do fencing and everything that had to deal with the arts… but our school only had the kendo club. I wasn't complaining much though, I liked it a lot. I just wish I was able to stay in it… I was kicked out for missing too many days… it wasn't my fault though.
"Aa." Was my only reply.
I think she became irritated with my lack of speaking… and also the blonds silence, because she gave a long dragged out sigh before saying, "Well… I have to go talk to Catherine about our book project." And then she was gone. Leaving us to think about her lame excuse to get away. I don't really blame her, who would want to sit with me, anyway?
Kuso! She had left me alone with Quatre… just great.
The blond boy's eyes were still lowered, and he was fidgeting slightly now. I could barely see as his mouth opened and closed a couple times, as if he was trying to say something. After a couple minutes of silence he finally spit out, "Were you…"
"Yes." I cut him off, already predicting what his question was going to be ahead of time. He probably was confirming if I was really the one at his house… the one with his father. What he asked next though, was not what I had in mind.
"Why?" He blurted the word out quickly, then his eyes widened and he clapped his hands over his mouth in horror of what he had just asked. "I'm sorry! I shouldn't be prying!" He squeaked, looking terrified that I might jump him any second.
I couldn't help but smirk at his frightened behavior. How wrong I had been. Just yesterday I was afraid of him, thinking that he could ruin my life… but in actuality 'he' was the one terrified of me. I could tell just by how nervous he was acting, how scared he looked at his blunder.
"It's alright." I said, eyes finally meeting his. I tried my best to put on a warm smile, but I wasn't really used to smiling and it probably ended up looking like a warped frown. I was about to speak further, when I was interrupted by a boy literally diving head first under our table. There was a loud banging sound and I looked down to see the boy clutching his head.
"Fuck, who put the metal bars under tables?" He complained, rubbing the back of his head with his palm. That's when I noticed the long braid trailing behind him. My eyes widened slightly when I finally processed that he… the boy… was under our table.
"What are you doing?" The words did not come out of my mouth, though they were circling around in my head. Quatre had voiced that question and I noticed that he actually looked amused by this weird occurrence.
"Shh!" Violet eyes looked up as he pressed his finger to his lips. "Don't look at me!" He then commanded.
I wasn't really up for following directions from this odd person, so I just resumed my confused stare. "Why?" I asked.
His eyes seemed to scan the cafeteria quickly, then a relieved sigh escaped his lips. "I think he's gone." He stated, smiling as he pulled himself out from underneath the table. He then directed his smile to me and Quatre in turn before saying, "Duo Maxwell! Nice to meet you!" I was already starting to not like this person, because of the way he spoke, quickly and loudly. Just what I needed, a headache!
I was about to introduce myself when I noticed the tall newcomer that was now standing right behind the braided boy. His emerald green eyes sparkled with amusement and an evil smirk was placed upon his lips as he looked at Duo.
Ah… so this is who he was running from. "And who's that?" I asked, pointing a finger towards the tall boy.
Violet eyes widened and Duo's head turned slowly around. "Gya!" He screamed loudly, jumping in his seat as he found a smirking boy behind him. Duo then brought his head down, to bang on the table a couple times. "Trowa… stop… Following me!" He growled between thumps of his head on the hard surface.
The Trowa guy just shrugged his shoulders while taking a seat next to Duo.
"Umm…" Quatre's small voice brought me to look back at him. He was looking between the two newcomers with confusion. They just looked back expectantly, causing him to blush slightly. "I'm Quatre." He ended up blurting out. I couldn't help but smirk… for some reason that just sounded funny.
"Nice to meet you Quatre!" Duo chirped before turning his eyes on me. "And who might this angry fellow be?"
My eyes instinctively rolled up to the ceiling before I answered with, "Wufei Chang," in the most irritated voice I could muster. What was up with me having to introduce myself so much today? I think this is a record, two times in one sitting!
"This here is none other than the famous silent boy! The one and only non talking individual of this whole school!" Duo announced, pointing to the boy next to him. "Trowa Barton… isn't it?" His head tilted to the side as he looked to Trowa in question.
The boy just shrugged and pulled out his lunch to start eating, which made me realize that I hadn't finished my own lunch, being to busy with all these new encounters. I only listened half hardily to the conversation that Duo was trying to make with Quatre. It turned out to be Quatre who started to ask the major questions though… like, "Why is Trowa following you?"
"He's a big brainless idiot with no friends." Duo had stated.
I couldn't help but raise my eyes from my food to see what Trowa's reaction was. He was looking at Quatre whose light blue eyes were widened in confusion. What was even more weird was that Trowa just nodded his head, admitting everything that the braided boy had said.
These people were strange.
Duo's hearty laugh filled the silence and I groaned at the volume of it. "What's wrong Wu? Have a bad day?" He asked, looking at me in mock concern.
Did he want to torture me by talking?
"Do you have to be so loud?" I asked, annoyance lining my voice. It was suppose to make him shut up, but it ended up doing just the opposite.
"What? Maybe my ears are clogged so that's why I talk so loud. You shouldn't mind me, just like to talk is all. Someone has to talk enough for this fellow here!" He said, patting the silent Trowa on the shoulder. I really wanted to mimic his earlier actions and bang my head on the table.
Quatre and Duo engaged in another discussion, one of which I had no interest in. I just hurried to finish my lunch and prayed that the lunch bell would ring soon. I needed to get out of there!
"Hey Tro? You going to follow me to the diner again after school?" I watched as Trowa shook his head 'no' in answer to Duo's question. "Aa… well you'll have to pay for your own food then! I'll have your head if you steal another one of my fries."
Quatre was looking confused, I must have also looked somewhat puzzled as to what they were talking about because Duo smiled while poking Trowa in the forehead. "You can't listen to anything he says, he likes to lie a lot."
Yes… very strange people.
"Hey! Do you guys want to come too?" Duo asked, eyes boring into me and Quatre in turn. I could see as Quatre brightened and he nodded his head excitedly.
"Oh! Can I?" He asked, smiling widely at Duo.
Duo just laughed again and looked to me, eyebrow raised in question. "What about you Wu?"
"Do not call me that. That is not my name." I said crudely.
"Aw, don't be like that Wu! I think it sounds cute!"
"My name is not meant to be cute, Maxwell."
"Hey, if you don't want me calling you that, then I want you to call me Duo!"
"Duo." I said while crossing my arms.
"Wu!"
I growled. "Fine! Then you're Maxwell!" Quatre chuckled from across the table and I could see the amused smirk on Trowa's face. That's when I realized just how childish we must have been acting.
Kisama! I'm really starting to hate that annoying idiot!
"Well? You going to come?" Duo asked again.
"I can't." I stated, looking at him in irritation. I really couldn't, the boss would probably want me back right away.
"Sure you can!"
"No.. I can't."
"Yes… You can!"
"Maxwell! Will you stop pestering me!?" I yelled angrily.
"Not until you decide to come! It will be fun! And you look like you need some, ya know?" He smirked, obviously finding my anger amusing. I, however, was very far from amused. He had no idea of what he was dealing with by asking me to come. He could very well be signing my death…
….
The boss would kill me… or beat me…
Pair…
I still couldn't forget.
Need to find out about Pair…
"Does this… café… have a television?" I asked hesitantly, seeing as there wasn't really any way to get out of this with that braided idiot pestering me. Sure the boss would be mad if I was late… I don't think he would kill me… yet… but it might be a good chance to watch the news. Good chance to see if I was going to die any time soon… damn, I have been thinking way too negative lately.
I watched as Duo's bottom lip was pulled into his mouth and he chewed on it as he thought. "Umm… I don't know… do you remember Trowa?"
Trowa shook his head.
"Well, there you go! I guess there is a television there then." Duo said, smiling widely at me. "So I take it you're going to come?"
"Yes." I mumbled bitterly. I kept reminding myself that I was only going to watch the news… I was not going to have fun… to hang out with these people like a… normal person would do.

~Subject: Heero Yuy~
Shit! That blond girl will be the end of me.
For some reason… she had decided to come up to me today and talk to me… again.
I don't understand why.
There was no reason for her to find me interesting. I have done everything in my power to make myself 'not' stick out. So why was this girl obsessed with me? She even asked me to go out with her right after introducing herself! Was that normal? If so, I think I have become afraid of relationships.
It was after school that I found myself running. It was really embarrassing, I prayed no one was paying attention to me. But, I would rather be humiliated and 'looked' at then have to have another confrontation with that girl. In my English class she had moved to sit next to me. The once happily empty desk next to me had turned into a horrible seat that I wish someone 'had' been occupying, so as to keep that evil girl away from it. That class was ruined for me the second she invited me to her birthday party.
I have never been so… annoyed.
The whole class, of course, had to find it interesting and their business. Their little ears could probably hear everything she was saying to me. Since she was talking so loud… was it on purpose? Probably!
I wanted to get out of there… but then that would create a perfect excuse for those evil gossipers to talk about me, talk behind my back… that would be bad. So, I had to wait until the nice bell rang before leaving… in a hurry.
Quickly moving along the sidewalk, I looked behind me. So far, no pink colored girl anywhere in site. I was almost relieved… until I heard the shrill, "Have you seen Heero anywhere?"
My head snapped around and I noticed that one Relena Peacecraft was talking to some anonymous girl… and looking for me. Just great.
"Heero? Uh… I don't know anyone by that name." The random girl answered. Of course she didn't know who I was! That was the point!
"Oh, well he has…" I didn't wait around to listen to how I would be described, this was probably my only chance at getting a head start out of there. For the first time in a long while, the orphanage was actually looking rather appealing.
I turned quickly around, starting to make my way through the crowd of people walking outside the school gates, when I heard the dreaded words.
"Oh! Is that who you were talking about?" The same anonymous girls voice asked, loudly enough for me to hear and cause my pulse to quicken.
Shit! I really hate these people.
Not turning back around, I ran as fast as I could… which wasn't very fast since it was freezing outside and my limbs were starting to get numb.
"Heero!" I heard Relena yell from behind me. That's when I turned around… which was a big mistake. The annoying blond was only twenty or so feet away from me. It didn't seem like she had quite spotted me yet, though. As I spun back around, I ended up running into someone hard. Knocking me to the ground along with whomever I had hit.
Shit, not good.
"Fuck! Why the hell do I always get run over…. YOU!" Violet eyes widened, then the person stared at me angrily. "You're the jerk who bumped into me before! And you did it again!" The loud braided boy, I recognized from the cafeteria incident, accused. Getting up to wipe himself off, the glare never left his face. I didn't really have time for apologies, but I knew that there wasn't really anyway to get away without one.
"Sorr…" I started.
"Heero!" Shit, shit, shit. Yup, definitely no time for apologies.
My eyes widened and I jumped behind someone, a boy who happened to be standing right beside the braided boy. He was tall enough to maybe shield my body from unwanted viewers. Emerald green eyes looked back at me, confused, as to why I was clinging to him.
I probably looked scared.
Yes, I think I did look scared.
"Trowa! Hide me!" I pleaded, grabbing onto the back of the boys shirt. I had finally recognized him as the boy from the orphanage I was at.
"Er… from what?" I could hear the braided boy ask, looking at me weird.
"Probably from her." A blond boy suddenly spoke up, drawing my attention to him as he pointed in the direction of Relena. I hadn't really seen him there… or the Chinese boy… shit! All these people had watched me in this weird moment.
But… to my surprise, as Relena finally made her way over, the four boys just kind of scooted over to where I was, standing in front of me… making it impossible for her to see me.
"Have you seen Heero?" I could hear Relena ask politely. I didn't dare move my eyes to peer over the tall Trowa's shoulder, too afraid that I would be spotted.
"Eh? Who's Heero?" I recognized the braided boy's loud voice, sounding slightly amused.
"Oh! I'm ever so sorry." She said quickly. "My boyfriend! He had stunningly beautiful dark blue eyes, magnificently styled brown hair… he must spend a lot of time on it. I wonder if he goes to a salon? It's probably to impress me, of course. Oh, and he's pretty shy…"
I wish I could have mustered up the courage to scream… I think it would have made me feel better.
At first I thought that anything would be better than 'her' finding me… but this was just too humiliating.
TBC.

OK… some slight information I thought I would share with anyone interested in reading this little authors note…
A Subject is that which is placed under the control, authority, dominion, or influence of something else. Kind of like a king and his subjects blah blah blah, though in this story there is no king, just evil parents and other people. So why I call each of the five pilots a subject is because they are under the control of someone, something else. For example, Quatre is under the control of his father, Wufei his boss, Duo his parents… With Heero and Trowa it is a little different. Trowa is controlled by his past, kinda… since he doesn't talk because of what happened and won't talk until he can put his past behind him sorta thing. Heero is just the opposite, controlled by his future. Yes, it may not make sense, it may make sense… I just think I think too much!
Anyways, I hope you enjoyed this chapter! Please FEEDBACK!! REVIEW and tell me what ya think!!!
Kuso- pretty much means shit! ^.^
Kisama- pretty much means bastard.
