Mrs. Chang awoke to the sound of the very loud and obnoxious beeping of her alarm clock. Tiredly her husband Mr. Chang also known as Wufei Senior, rolled over his wife to shut it off, and then went back to sleep. Unfortunately for Mrs. Chang he hadn’t rolled over before he went back to sleep, so she was now squashed between her husband and the bed. Sighing she shoved him off her roughly, making him roll off her and the bed. Any body watching would have found it very comical to see, that when Mr. Chang hit the floor, he didn’t even stir. His loud snores could be heard all the way to the 3rd floor. Taking a moment Mrs. Chang debated with herself, between doing the right thing and picking her unconscious husband of the floor, or, getting up and relieving her overflowing bladder. Shrugging she picked the latter and stepped over her husbands prone body to go to the bathroom. Some times the call of nature was too strong to ignore.
Downstairs, Merian was just finishing up breakfast. Humming softly along with the music on the radio, as she scooped some eggs on to large dish in the middle of the table. She had always believed that breakfast was the most important meal of the day. So she always made a lot of food. This morning she had made a completely southern style breakfast, with fried green tomatoes, and biscuits on the side and with grits, and other delicious foods. Merian was just finishing up, when a loud thump could be heard from upstairs. Sighing she put the last of the dirty dishes in to the sink. Some things just never change.

Merian had always believed that breakfast was the most important meal of the day. So she always made a lot of food. This morning she had made a completely southern style breakfast, with fried green tomatoes, and biscuits on the side and with grits, and other delicious foods. Merian was just finishing up, when a loud thump could be heard from upstairs. Sighing she put the last of the dirty dishes in to the sink. Some things just never change.

One sloe colored eye popped open in surprise when a heavy thump vibrated through the house. Grumbling softly to him self he turned over in bed. He was really going to have to find a way for his father to wake up, with out getting bruises. Sighning Wufei turned back to his back in bed. He did not want to get up. It felt like the end of the world for him, okay maybe not the end of the world, but he was still pretty depressed. In an hour he was to register in his new school.

For some reason Wufei would probably never understand; Mr. Chang decided that it was time for his son to go to a school that was much closer to home. The school Wufei had originally been going to was not necessarily far away; it was really in the other side of town. But that didn't change Mr. Chang's mind about moving his son. When asked why he decided to move his son out of the blue, he simply replied that Wufei would understand when he had his own children one day. Now as much as Wufei loved his Daddy, and respected his opinion, he still couldn't help the small feeling of betrayal. His parents knew better then any one how hard it was for him to fit in with other students. His old school was like a second home to him. It was filled with kids just like him, who loved music and art nearly as much as he did. Others simply didn't understand.

The whole reason Wufei had been sent to a different school was because he had trouble in the all the other ones. While other children did finger paints of their families, Wufei had been reading 'Weapons through the ages.' That and the other children were scared stiff of him. At a young age Wufei had established that he wasn't taking any crap from any one. Anybody with enough balls to try and pick on him was greeted with open arms. It only took one bloody nose, two missing teeth, and a broken arm to get his point across, after that no one even looked in his direction.

Another thing was that he despised going out in the daytime to play. Why would someone willingly go outside to run around like an idiot with the sun beating down one them, blinding them, and just causing general discomfort was beyond him. The mere thought of doing such a thing was ludicrous. Now the night was his element. When all the loud people were safely tucked away in their beds and far away from him, and when all the best things start happening. The air was so calm, and soothing, with out a bunch of people running about, and screaming their heads off.

Sighing deeply Wufei turned onto his belly. His braid flipped over his shoulder, it landed with a dull thump next to his body, and right next to a little furry ball. Slowly that ball unraveled until it became clear that is was in fact a kitten. It mewled quietly before padding its way over to Wufei and licking his face. Shifting his position on the bed, Wufei pulled his arm from underneath him, to scoop up the kitten. She yawned widely as she was placed on Wufei's belly.

"I really don't to do this Midnight." He whispered, just loud enough for her to hear. The kittens response was to buff her head against his belly affectionately.

Wufei contemplated on whether he should fake a stomach ache to delay his arrival for another day. But decided against it, Merian was the drama Queen not him. For a few minutes he stalled my teasing Midnight with the tip of his braid. He knew sooner or later he had to get up, or his mother would come up their and drag him out. With out warning his alarm clock went off, but only got ring once before a hand came crashing down on it with so much force it left a dent. This sudden movement startled Shadow Wufei's large wolf-hound from his slumber. Lifting its head Shadow whined, before peaking up onto the bed to see what had upset his master.

Grudgingly Wufei climbed out of bed, and thumped around his room. Slithers of light pushed stubbornly though his curtains, to play across his carpet and floors. Along one of the far sides of his room was a wall dedicated to weapons of every kind. They were varied from shapes, sizes, to deadliness; he even had a sword as big as his torso up there. Across from the wall stood his dressers, there were at least three in the whole. Only one of them belongs to him, the other two belong to his two closets friends. On top of his dresser sat the usual nail polish, eyeliner, hair etc, a pair of hair stick that looked unnervingly like little daggers etc.

After slipping into his private bathroom to relieve his overflowing bladder, was his face, and brush his teeth, Wufei went back to his room to put on some pajama bottoms, so he could go down stairs. For once instead of following Wufei down stairs, Shadow and Midnight chose to stay in their big warm bed instead. Wufei made a mote of that, the little traitors.

Some pop singer that Wufei didn't know the name of, was going on in a high pitched voice about a kiss on the radio. Wufei tried not to scream as he neared the kitchen. Why is sister listened to that dribble was beyond him. If a girl calls her self Bubblegum, and rubs illegal amounts of pink glitter all over herself, she should not be given a singing contract. Some where in the back of his mind he prayed no one like that went to his school. Because if one decided to run up on him, he would throw a butcher knife, and he did not care who he hit either.

With out a sound he rolled open the French style doors leading to the kitchen. His bare feet didn't make a noise as he took a step into the room. It wasn't that he was intentionally being quiet; it was just that he barley made noise when he moved. A big part of that had to do with the fact that he was trained in martial arts since he was 3. Another was that n one in his family made barley a sound when they moved. It was like living in a house full of assassins.

"Daddies up."

Startled, Merian dropped her dishtowel in the sink, and jerked her head around quickly, managing to hurt her neck in the process. Wufei stood like a dark shadow in the middle of the kitchens french style double doors. He was still in his pajamas, an oversized “My Chemical Romance” shirt and, loose drawstring cotton pants. His long hair was held back in tight french braid he used for sleeping. With the stealth and grace of a panther, he glided toward the counter and put on the coffee pot for his mother. She was as evil as him in the morning with out a fresh cuppa joe, or 3.

Merian took deep cleansing breaths in attempt to calm her wild heartbeat, in an after thought she picked the now soaked dishtowel out the sink. Their father woke up the same way every morning since they could remember. It would take a hurricane, a fog horn, and pack of grenades just to get him to stir. Or even better the soft cries of his children. The man was a sucker for his babies.

“Well if it isn’t one of Satan’s minions.” Merian teased. “And look I didn’t have to get you up myself. That’s surprising.” Wufei merely squeezed past her to get to the pantry, ignoring his sister completely.

“Don’t you dare go looking for any cereal, Wufei Chang !” she growled at she ripped a box of Capn’ Crunch ® from his hand. “ I made a big breakfast, and you will sit down and eat some.” she emphasized her last command by giving him a sharp slap to the buttcheeks. Glaring Wufei did as he was told and walked toward the table stacked high with good food, all the while rubbing his now sore left buttcheek. A slim hand reached out and plucked a fried green tomato of a platter, and brought it to a plump mouth, a flash of sharp white teeth made quick work of it. He made a show of chewing and swallowing, and then gave Merian a ‘are you satisfied now’ look. Merian nodded her head, then smirked at him smugly in satisfaction. Merian began to wash dishes again as Wufei poured himself a glass of orange juice. Less then ten minutes later Mrs. Chang sauntered into the kitchen already fully dressed for the day. She wore a tan pant suit, with a small heeled Manolo’s, her long black hair set in a tight bun. She was fixing her collar as she walked in, and looking left and right for ger suit case.

“Morning mommy.”

“Good morning baby” she replied as she walked over to Wufei, and gave him an Eskimo kiss. Before turning and doing the same to Merian.

“Oh good, some body put on some coffee.” she looked as if she wanted to kiss who ever did.

“Are you kids ready for school?” she asked as she poured her self a cup. Merian answered with a bright smile and Wufei looked out the window.

“Please don’t pout Fei. I know it’s hard starting at a new school, but on the plus side you’ll have your sister there to help you.” Wufei took another slice of tomato. Sighing his mother gave up and looked at the clock over the sink. She was late. Cursing under her breath in Medrian she scrambled to get her things together. Wufei stood in front of his mother with a thermos of coffee in one hand and her brief case in the other. Merian stood next to him with her mothers car keys and jacket.

“I don’t know where I would be sometimes with out you two.” She exclaimed as she kissed both on the head and, ran as out the door as fast as her healed feet would allow her. Then turned around and grabbed her things from her kids and was off again.

“ make sure you get to school on time, and kiss your papa for me.” and then she was gone. The sound of a car screeching down the street, leaving skid marks in it’s wake. They could only hope their mother didn’t get a ticket...again.

When the sound of screeching of tires could no longer be heard, both turned and made there way back to the kitchen. A few minutes later Mr. Chang came thumping down stares. His hair was still damp from his shower, so he kept a towel around his neck to keep his shirt from getting wet. Like his wife he was already dressed for the day in a pair of faded jeans and a half buttoned soft cotton shirt. It showed off his defined chest and abs, from years of martial arts training. Yawning, he stressed his arms above his head, and rolled his neck. Merian opened her mouth to greet her father but was cut short by Wufei, stood on his tip toes to kiss his fathers chin.

“Mommy said to give that you.” he mumbled as backed up then when walked around his father to get to the stairs. Reaching out his father pulled on his braid playfully and greeted both his children.

“Morning kids, need me to drop you off at school today. I don’t have to be into work until late.”

“Thanks dad , me and Fei just gotta go up stairs and change. Be down in ten minutes.”

Ten minutes later Merian stood out side the car and waited for her brother to come down. Honestly, you would think he was a girl, with all the time it took for him to get dressed. Impatiently she shifted for foot to foot, looking down at her watch every few seconds. Behind her Mr. Chang chuckled, obviously finding his daughters impatience amusing. Merian never got a chance to glare at her father, because Wufei decided to was time to make his entrance. He wore a tight black wife beater that bunched at his sightly curved waist, and low riding black and grey army fatigue pants, with heavy back boots that looked like he was ready to stomp someone. He had combed and re-braided his hair into a half braid and combed out his bangs so they covered half his face. He, like his father, had muscles from years of martial arts, but his body type leaned toward his mothers lithe and petite one. With smooth slightly rounded hips, longs legs, a full bottom, and soft curves. A full pouted little mouth, small button nose, and thick long sooty lashes around cat like eyes. People often mistook him for a girl. The fact that he painted nails and had booty length hair didn’t help either.

“You look more like your mother everyday Fei.” commented Mr. Chang as he teasingly poked Wufei in the side. Dodging him Wufei got in to the car, with Merian behind him.

“All right, everybody got every thing.”

“Yes” they both said in unison.

“Got your lunch money?”

“Yes”

“Books?”

“Yes”

“Remembered to go potty before you left the house”

“Ye-Daddy!”came Merian indignant cry, while her brother raised and eyebrow.

Snickering Mr. Chang started the car, and backed out the drive, deciding he was done torturing his kids for the day. The ride their was short, and uneventful, no body talked but instead listened to music on the radio. The front of the high school was already full of kids, talking and doing last minute homework before the bell rang. Wufei tried to repress the urge to grab onto the back of his daddies chair and hold on for dear life. For Goddess sake the kids looked like something from a freakin OC commercial! And Wufei always thought the way Merian dressed was bad, but this was just scary.

“You won’t me to go in with you, Sweetheart? It’s ok if your nervous.” Mr. Chang turned in seat after catching his sons reflection in the rearview mirror. Wufei might have been good at hiding his emotions but he was his daddy after all. He knew when something was bothering his baby boy. Wufei gave him a weak smile before placing getting out of the car. He would have said yes too, if Merian hadn’t cut him off.

Merian took in her fathers still half undone shirt and slightly ruffled hair. There was no way she was going to let her dad walk into school like that. He might look damn good for a 40 year old but he was still her father. Besides she didn’t feel like escorting anyone to the nurse, from nosebleeds today.

“He’ll be find dad, I got him. See you later” with that she grabbed Wufei’s arm half dragged him toward the campus. Wufei could only smile and wave at his father as he was dragged backwards, by his arm.

“Remember kids, candy might be dandy but fruit helps you poop!” Mr. Chang called one last time, and then drove away cackling insanely, as Merian had turned beet red and began to sputter wildly. Staring in disbelief as there father drove off, cackling maniacally. Wufei giggled and waved after him, smiling softly. He sobered however, as he imagined what fresh sizzling hell would be awaiting him behind those large wooden doors.

Headmistress Une was a strict woman. She ruled her school with an iron fist, very unlike her husband; Professor Khusandra. He was more of the laid back type, and liked to talk to his students. That's it was a bit hard to believe when students found out the two married. To were just too different to make a good relationship. But they made it work, and actually made a cute if not very strange couple.Une looked down her round wire rimmed glasses, at the transcript in her hand. A new student had arrived that day and she had been told it was another Chang. When she heard the news she immediately assumed this new Chang would be exactly like Merian. She was a smart, playful, upbeat student, with a thirst for knowledge. So far she had been proven right. The transcript read that this; Wufei Chang jr. had been in all honors classes, was President of the duel club. Tutored children after school and, was at the top of his class in culinary arts. He was also in the poetry club, culture club, and law institute, played the violin and piano, the list just went on. It was very impressive, he was in more activates then his sister, and that was saying something. It made Lady Une quit eager to meet this new student, and hoped he would be just as eager to see the school.

The front halls were full of students as Merian led her brother toward the headmistress office. As usual people on every side broke out in whispers as Wufei walked by. People who knew Merian waved and said hello, and others stared.

“I’s that the new kid.” Some faceless person said in a stage whisper.

“I don't know, could be.”

“I thought it would be a boy. Damn!”

“Hey, she's kinda hot.”

“Think she'd talk to me?”

Wufei rolled his eyes. It was always the same thing were ever he went. Someone always mistook him for a girl, and then got mad when he wasn't. He just hoped this time he didn't have to send anyone to the nurse, for being grabby.

“Hey, Merian, who's the chick? She hot!” hollered a particularly bold person in the back of the crowd.

“Back off Jay, you can't have this one.” Merian hadn't even turned her head when answered. They were almost at the large oak doors when a shadow stepped into there way preventing them from moving. Cobalt blue eyes glitters from underneath tousled chocolate colored bangs. It was Heero Yuy, and co. smirking in smug triumph he reached out his hand and took Wufei small one on his large one.“Oh, come now Merian. You know how rude it is to walk by and not say hello.” His rumbling Baritone seemed to rise from all sides. A few girls standing around them sighed appreciatively. Heero smirked harder. “And to not introduce such a pretty friend, well you should be ashamed”

Behind him someone snickered. Growling Merian took her brothers hand out of Heero’s, and made a move to walk around him. Her means of escaped were however squashed by the tall solid figure of one Trowa Barton. Sighing in defeat she reluctantly introduced every one.

“Guys this is Fei, Fei theses are the guys. Let's go.” Another attempt at escaped was lost. This time by two different bodies.

“Duo Maxwell and Quatra Winner” bowing as they introduced themselves. Gently Quatra took Wufei’s hand in his own and shook it. All ways the gentleman that one.

“It’s a pleasure to finally meet the infamous Wufei Chang.”

At least every one had heard about Merian’s strange twin. He was a kind of legend in their school. Something about them being like Yin and Yang she was light he was dark. That and the last time someone picked on Merian she got Wufei to beat the living daylights out the kid because he was the better fighter. And everyone always wondered why he never went to their school with her.

“You must be the new student that Merian has said so much about. Your just as beautiful as she described you.” Duo purred, his normally loud voice low and seductive. Merian’s cheeks turned red, and she (as usual) began to sputter, as Wufei pulled his hand away and slipped in between Trowa and Heero. Not even sparing them a backward glance, he walked the short distance down the rest of the hall and knocked on the large oak doors. In only moments it swung open, and the headmistress stepped out. Looking at Wufei she smiled gently, then turned to glare at the remainder students in the hall.

“This is not a hang out. Go to your class or all of you will have detention for a week.” she was using her no nonsense voice. Everyone glanced at Wufei one more time before going to there assigned classes.

“We apologize for the delay professor. We ran into some people very...eager to met Wufei.”

Une waved her hand dismissively and placed a hand on the door, opening it a little wider.The office was small, maybe even considered cramped. But it was cozy, and smelled of old leather bound books. From the ceiling to the floor, were book shelves, all filled to the brink with thick tombs. Everything from children’s fairy tails to books on psychology and philosophy. The air was cool, and dry, only a stream of sun coming from the heavily curtained Victorian windows.
Wufei was in love. It was just like his grandfathers library back in England. Were he would curl up under a big blanket next to his grandfather, who would sip a brandy as he read from a large leather bound book. With much care Wufei reached out, to run a finger along faded spin. It’s gold pages and title flaking from age and use.

“I take it you like my office”

He didn’t even stir, but instead turned slightly and shook his in the affirmative. Books had always been his weakness.

“Please come and sit.” Une gently patted the back of an overstuffed chair close to her desk. Merian was already in her seat and had been watching her brother with a small knowing smile.

“I’m sorry to say that we only have a few moments together, because I must leave in a moment to attend a teacher meeting.” reaching into a her desk as she spoke she pulled out a large folder.

“These are your schedules and a few notes to your parents. If there is anything you need do not hesitate to come to me for help.” her voice became soft and sincere as she spoke the last few lines

“I know how hard it can be to start in a new school. But on the plus side you’ll have your sister with you.” again, still softly “now run along to class. I believe your first class is English with my husband.
When the office door closed behind them Merian let out a sigh.

“Well Fei, at least it looks like Lady Une likes you, and your gonna love Professor Khusandra ..” Wufei tuned her out and began toward a nearby staircase. Let the 8 hours of hell begin.
