The Black Rose Chapter Eight:

// = Thoughts (Character thoughts)

"Hey, Quatre" Trowa greeted him, walking up behind him.

"He-hey Trowa" Quatre replied, blushing.

Quatre had `decided' to hang out with Sally and Wufei after history (actually, Sally had latched herself onto his arm as soon as the bell had gone, insisting that he stay with them for the rest of the day, so they could finalise there plans for that night)

Sally, seeing Quatre's blush as Trowa talked to him, started snickering, making Quatre blush even harder. Trowa, seeing Quatre's discomfort, sent a glare worthy of Yui in Sally direction, grabbing Quatre's arm and leading him off to one side.

"Um, Quatre, I was wondering if you would like to go out with me tonight?" Trowa asked, looking down.

" Really? I mean, if you're sure. Yes, I'd love to." Quatre babbled sweetly, making Trowa smile. (Both Sally and Wufei, who `just happened' to overhear their conversation, and `just happened' to be in the perfect position to see exactly what Quatre and Trowa were doing, were both shocked. Nether of them had EVER seen Trowa smile, NEVER! Maybe Quatre would be more of a good influence than they first thought!)

" Barton, in case you forgot, you have a prior engagement tonight!" Wufei reminded him sternly, before Sally could stop him.

Hearing this, Quatre's face fell, making him look even sadder and more dejected than he had when he had first arrived.

"It won't take long, I'm sure! We should be done by nine at the latest! Isn't that right, Wufei" Sally said, glaring more fiercely at the Chinese youth than even Yui could muster.

"I completely forgot! I'm meant to be helping Duo out with some stuff this afternoon! It shouldn't take long, though." Quatre added, sounding hopeful.

Trowa smiled down at the young, hopeful-looking blond, nodding in reply.

"So, where are you two gonna meet?" Sally butted in, smirking at both Trowa and Quatre's blushes.

"Um, why don't you tell me where you guys have got to go, and I'll meet you there?" Quatre suggested, smiling sweetly at the others, as they walked towards Treize's locker, where the other three were meant to be meeting there fellow Black Rose members.

"Um, how about I just meet you at nine fifteen outside the cinema down town?" Trowa suggested, receiving an enthusiastic nod of agreement from Quatre.

Sally sighed, theatrically, at the disgustingly sappy scene in front of her. // Why'd they get all the fun?! This is sweet, but so unfair! When am I gonna get a love life of some sort?!//

As Treize, Zechs and Heero approached, Quatre turned to Trowa to say goodbye, before leaving in search of Duo.

"So, Trowa, did you ask him out?" Zechs asked, smirking. Trowa just sent him a withering glare, ignoring him.

"Did you?" Heero asked, smirking.

"That's none of your business, Yui-" "Yes, he did" Sally interrupted, her smirk growing even wider.

Treize, ever trying to make things fair within his little gang, decided to turn the tables on them. " So, did you two ask your fantasy partners out yet? Heero, found out his name yet?"

Heero, cheeks faintly tinted pink, mumbled " DuoMaxwellDateTonightReallyHot" Making the others snort, and Sally laugh out loud.

"How about YOU, Sally? Asked Relena out yet?" Treize asked, innocently, making Sally go beetroot red, the others staring, mouths open in shock.

"Yo-you like Relena?! Hahahahahahahahah!" Wufei snorted.

"You have a crush on my SISTER?!" Zechs burst out loud, making Wufei laugh even harder. "You want me to set you up on a date with her?" Zechs added, seriously, stunning the others even further, and bringing Wufei close to hysterics.

"Hey, Sally, if things go well, you and Wufei could end up being related!" Zechs added, silencing Wufei, making the others smirk.

"On a slightly more serious note" Treize began, waiting till the others had calmed down "Do you all know were we're meting tonight?"

"The Seventh Domain, at six, wasn't it?" Sally asked, receiving a nod for conformation. " Remind me thy we have to go down there again?"

Sighing, Treize answered, " We've got to make sure this club isn't going to be a scene club."

"Um, not meaning to sound stupid, but what's that?"

"A scene club is a club where members of bigger gangs meet. Some of the bigger gangs wouldn't be that bad to meet, but others like The Black scorpions and white manticores are bad news. Scene meeting places often attract loner members too, like the legendary Shinigami.

We can't let other gangs take over our territory. We're just going to go and make sure that they know that." Wufei answered.

"But what if it's one of the trinity gang meeting places?" Trowa asked, confusing Sally once again.

Seeing her confused look, he explained. " The trinity is what the three most powerful gangs are called collectively; The White Tigers, The Red Phoenixes, and the most powerful, The Black Widow Spiders. They give protection to some smaller gangs, and do dealings with some of the loner scene members. If it's a trinity meeting place, they aren't going to leave if you ask them nicely, Treize."

Clenching his fists, Treize replied, " I know that. But we can't let ANY other gangs take over. If this stupid place thinks that they've got it bad having to put up with the black roses, they haven't seen anything yet. You all know what I'm talking about. Most of the other gangs won't stop at anything; nothing is too low for them. We can't just sit back and let that happen to our town! Whether it's a Scene gang, Trinity gang, or just a few loners, we're going to make sure that they know The Black Rose gang are in charge around here,"
