C&C is a -Good- thing.

 Classes seamed endless. Wufei and Anja sat in an unoccupied row in the far back corner of the lecture hall, listening to the interesting but endless talk on medieval Romanesque periods of art.

 The boy glanced at Anja's delicate hand, watching her jot down notes that she would never actually look at again. She didn't need to. Everything that the teacher said was immediately absorbed. Just like her sword skills and magic, she soaked up new knowledge like a sponge! He loved watching her when her mind was at work. She could be as focused as Heero or playful as Duo or both at the same time.
 

 Anja listened to the teachers words recording them but not actually listening. She was daydreaming again. When the discussion turned toward arches and masonry, she grinned and let her mind slip
into the gutter.

 "In the arch structure known as the groin vault, Everything centers on the keystone." The teacher explained.

 Anja grinned and reached over to run her fingers across the. . . ‘keystone' of Wufei's groin.
"Keystone." She whispered. "Pay attention now."

 He stiffened and looked at her with shocked eyes.

 "This is commonly known as a pressure system. . ."

 She squeezed a little and he fought to keep silent as his body hardened and jumped.

 ". . . the pressure is distributed." The teacher explained, "Down the haunch. . ."

 Anja slid her hand over Wufei's hip slowly in a gentle caress inward to his inner thigh.

 ". . . and then thrust down."

 She grinned and pressed firmly over his opening through the dark fabric of his jeans.

 Wufei's breathing was ragged and patchy as he tried to calm his racing blood.

 "Remember, this is known as a groin vault."

 Anja grinned and whispered in his ear, "You got that? Groin vault."

 "It is displayed by an X."

 The American traced an X over his erection and he bit his tongue to stop a moan from escaping.

 As they were leaving class the teacher stopped the two of them. Wufei was bright red and trying to hide his arousal with his books.

 "What were you to doing back there?"

 Anja smiled, "I was tutoring him about pressure systems and groin vaults." She smiled.

 Wufei got even redder.

 The teacher laughed at the poor boy, "He won't be forgetting this lesson will he."

 "No sensai." Anja smiled, "Now we have to. . . anou. . . take a study break."

 The teachers laughter followed them down the hall.

 "I can't believe you did that!" Wufei cried once they were out of the building.

 "Well you wont be forgetting that lesson will you."

 He groaned but laughed.

 Across the road, Kurama and Hiei were walking to class with Trowa when they saw the two
laughing, "What are they up to?" The fox mumbled.

 Hiei glanced at his sister then shrugged.

 "Maybe it's best not to know." Trowa suggested.

 They all agreed.

TWO
 

 "I am bored." Anja whispered as the class dragged on. "Booooooorrrrrrrrreeeeeeeed!"

 Duo nodded. "Bbbbbbbbbboooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrreeeeeeeeeedddddddddddd!"

 Anja grinned, "bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbboooooooooooored."

 "Boooooooooooooorrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrred."

 "B-b-b-b-b-b-bored."

 "BoreD."

 "Boooo-rrrrrreeeee-ddddd."

 This went on for thirty minuets until Anja pulled something out of her bag and showed it to Duo. He
grinned and nodded.
 
 

 Behind him, Kurama could hear Anja and Duo snickering. This was never a good sign. At least they
had stop chanting the distorted word 'bored'. He focused on his notes and bit back his Youko
curiousity as the English teacher droned on.
 
 

 Anja and Duo practiced their stealth on her brother. Putting his beloved red hair into hundreds of
tiny little French braids and tying them off with the bag of tiny rubber bands Anja had produced. Duo
snickered as Anja tied the last one off and leaned back to admire their handy work. She wrote
something on her notebook and showed it to him.

 [did you bring any other toys today?]

 Duo smiled and wrote back, [beads and feathers for art class.]

 Anja grinned and nodded and the two went to work again.

 Quatre glanced over at them and his eyes went wide, "K. . ."

 Trowa covered the blond haired boy's mouth and shook his head.

 Anja stuck another bright yellow feather in one of the braids and Duo slipped the last of the beads
on.
 
 

 "Minamino-san, we are ready to hear your report now."

 Kurama stood up and the class started to whisper amongst themselves. As he made his way to the
front he realized his hair felt different, heavier. . . He felt it with one pale hand and found. . .
feathers?!? The fox glared up at the to Americans who were now sitting each with the others hand
over their mouths. They were shaking with repressed giggles. "Anja." He said calmly, "Is this what
you and Duo have been doing all class period?"

 Anja nodded and a giggle escaped from behind Duo's hand.

 An impish impulse grabbed the fox and he turned slightly one way and then the other, "Is this a good
look for me?"

 The two American's almost fell out of their seats, unable to contain their laughter anymore. "YES!!!"
They chortled.

 The teacher frowned, "Alright you two! Get down here."

 They stood up and promptly knock heads together and slid to the floor, "Itai!" They held up their
braids now tied together in multiple knots and turned to stare at Heero, who was sitting very
contentedly behind them, a slight smirk on his lips.

 "H~E~E~R~O~!!!!!!!!!"
 

 The teacher gave up.

 THREE
 

 Anja was visiting Duo in their dorm room. Heero was trying to ignore them but two loud mouthed Americans and Anja's hard rock cd collection were not things easily ignored. The two of them were inhaling a pizza they had ordered, watching I love Lucy re-runs and listening to Metallica's black album, while they studied! Finally he turned from his laptop and glared at them. "There is no way you can actually be learning like that."

 "Like what?" Anja was all innocence.

 "How can you concentrate with all of this noise?!"

 "Practice." Duo grinned, "Want a slice?"

 "Out. Out out out out out." Heero turned off the music and shoved the two and their books into the
hall.

 The silence seemed deafening to the two of them. "Anou. . . Anja where do we study now?"

 "Hmm, Wu-Chan's room!"
 
 

 "No."

 "But Kurama. . ."

 "No."

 "Please. We just want to study with Wu-Chan."

 "I know how you study."

 "Awe, please."

 "No."

 She craned her neck around him to see Hiei, "Hiei-niisan help me here."

 "No."

 "You would let two sugar high, caffine high Americans armed with hard rock music, a boom box and
pizza run around Campus after dark?"

 "Hn." Hiei snorted, "What do I care for those ningen?"

 Anja and Duo both gave them the puppy dog eyes, "Pleeeeeeaaaaaasssss?"

 "No."

 They gave up and went to find Kuwabara and Yuusuke, they weren't home.

 "Trowa and Quatre?" Anja asked.

 "You don't want to bother them after dark when they're rooming together. Duo sighed.

 "Then where will we go?"

 ". . ." Duo looked at Anja.

 ". . ." Anja looked at Duo.

 "Campus Club!" They both cried. Anja threw their stuff into Wufei and Kurama's room and ran off
into the night.

 "She's getting worst." Kurama shook his head.

 "Hn." Hiei grinned proudly.

 The fox turned to his demon lover and growled, " and you're no help. You encourage her
constaintly!"

 "She's your species not mine."

 "Don't remind me." Kurama moaned and fell to the bed.

 "Hn," Hiei started massaging the worried boy's shoulders and Kurama sighed. "Better?"

 "Mmm."

 "Hn, kitsune no baka."
 
 

 Campus Club was a place for students to go for music, dancing, and fun without the drug parties or
bar hopping.

 Anja had been kicked out more than once.

 It was Duo's first time.

 Anja immediately went to the bar set up in the corner dragging Duo behind her.

 The bartender smiled "Hey there Nightwing, the usual?"

 "Yeah a virgin daqueri for me, strawberry on ice, and. . . Duo? What do you want?"

 "Can you make a citrus suicide?"

 "A what?" The big man asked.

 Anja smiled, "You mix 2 parts orange juice with one part lemon one part lime and one part vadka in
a tall glass. Duo likes to live dangerously."

 "Ah the infamous Duo." He laughed, "You know they're calling you two the twin troubles all around
campus?"

 "Hey we've been behaving." Anja grinned.

 "I've seen how you behave girl and it ain't behaving."

 "Now what have we done that was so bad?"

 "You got bubble gum all over the math teachers face."

 "He shouldn't have gotten in my face while I was blowing a bubble."

 "He had to shave his beard."

 "It'll grow back."

 "He had to shave his head because of this one." He pointed to Duo.

 "I had to come to my girls rescue."

 "You popped your bubble gum on the back of his head."

 They both started to laugh and the bar keep shook his head and gave them their drinks. "Anja, you
do me a favor ok?"

 "Nani?"

 "Don't do anything to bad tonight ok? I have an early day tomorrow and I double as bouncer
tonight, so give me some study time ok?"

 "Have the band play Metallica and you have a deal."

 He nodded, "Yo! Kai! Play some black album baby!"

 Anja snickered.

 "Nani?"

 "Just thinking of another Kai I know."

 "He come here?"

 Duo grinned, "Only in your nightmares."

 "No you two star in my nightmares. Now go play nice."

 Anja and Duo grinned as ‘Enter the Sandman' started and Anja popped her gum loudly. "Sure."
They grinned.

 The bartender threw up his arms and groaned, "well there goes that idea."
 
 

 Heero finished up his work and let go of a long sigh, That had been extremely boring. He looked up
at the clock. "Twelve O'clock, do you know where you lover is?" He frowned. He was with Anja. . .
Kurama's room.

 He arrived at Kurama's just as the boy was leaving. The redhead put a finger to his lips,

"Shh, they're sleeping."

 "Where are you going?"

 "To find Anja."

 "She and Duo aren't with you?"

 Kurama looked at him like he was insane, "I know how she ‘studies' that's why you kicked her out."

 Heero nodded, "So where do you think they are?"

 "If they haven't been kicked out? The Campus Club."

 Heero nodded and walked beside the fox in boy's clothing.

 When they arrived the first sight that greeted them was Anja wailing on stage to her favorite Nirvana
song ‘Smells Like Teen Spirit' Heero had to admit she was good! Duo was dancing on one of the
tables, hair loose now and whirling around him while Anja egged him on with shouts and laughter
during instrumental part of the music. "A dirty word, hey now hey now hey noe heeeyyyy
noooowwww," Anja said quietly before screeching, "Yeaaaaahhhhh Turn the light down entertain us
here we are now educate us!"

 Kurama and Heero both grimaced at the loud music and at Duo. Heero went to pull the pilot off of
the table the moved to Kurama's side near the stage. "Is she drunk?" He motioned to Anja.

 Kurama shook his head and yelled back over the music, "She doesn't drink!"

 "She's doing that sobber?!"

 He nodded.

 Anja popped her gum into the mic and grinned at Kurama, "This one is for my niisan. Shuu-chan!"

 Kurama jumped, "No Anja! That's ok!"

 "Oh don't be shy Shuu, come up here and sing with me."

 "Anja don't make me drag you down from there." Kurama warned.

 Anja gave the band the key and beat and started singing ‘Foxy Lady' through her giggles.

 Kurama growled and leapt onto the stage.

 "Oh!" Anja handed the mic to the lead singer again and jumped down, chased closely by her big
brother. "Duo-chan help!" She giggled.

 Duo looked up at her then at Heero, then passed out.

 "Damn! Learn to hold your suicides!" Anja yelled.

 Kurama cornered her on one side of a round table, they danced around it for a minuet then Anja
jumped over it onto the stage again.

 "Go Anja Go!" The guy with the mic shouted, "Let's hear it for the two troubles!"

 The whole crowed began to cheer and Anja bowed as she ran and slid stealthly behind the bar.
"Sorry man." She whispered to the bar keep.

 He shrugged then looked at Kurama who was approaching, "Where did she go?" He asked.

 "How should I know?"

 "She came by here."

 "Hey my friend, sit down have a drink."

 Anja glared up at her friend from the sticky floor and her smiled.

 She flipped him the bird and started to crawl to the other end of the long bar. When she stood up
she was face to face with Heero Yuy. "Damn."

 "Yo! I found her!" He called, Duo slung over one shoulder, Anja on the other.

 "Let's go then."

 The crowed screamed for them to stay as they left and the announcer called, "The Americans have
left the building."

 Kurama groaned, "This is a lesson to us."

 Heero nodded.

 "Next time let them study."

 "Why not with you?"

 "Hiei was with me."

 "Hn, so?"

 "She's our sister!"

 Heero shrugged and dropped Anja onto Kurama's shoulder.

 "Hey ‘rama." She smiled, "I can walk you know."

 "I don't trust you to."

 "Sure, you just wanna look at my butt hentai."

  Kurama slapped said butt and Anja yelped. "I am your brother therefore I can discipline you" He
warned.

 "Yeah? Well you're also 700 year jiji (Old fart)."

 "Anja. . . " Kurama warned.

 Duo giggled and Anja giggled back, "Man you are going to have one hell of a hangover buddy."

 "How many of what did you give him?" Kurama asked.

 "You know my patented Citrus Suicide that you tried that one time?"

 "How many?"

 "He downed ten glasses and these were big glasses man! He is wasted. Down for the count! Outta
here! He's. . ."

 "Ok! I get it!"

 "Um. . . ‘rama?"

 "Hm?"

 "Could you help me with my homework."

 The fox stopped and dropped Anja on her rear then walked away with Heero and Duo.

 "Oh come on!"

 "No."

 "P~L~E~A~S~E~?"

 "No."

 "Pretty please with a chocolate covered cherry on top?"

 "No."

 "Ku~Ramaaaaaa!"

 "No."

 "But. . ."

 "No."

 "Awe mannnnn!"
 

FOUR

Heero lay under the hood of the old truck he had acquired. They were going to be in this time for a long while and he wanted to have his own transportation. He slipped his hand out near the tool box and shifted through it's contents blindly. "Damn. Duo hand me a screwdriver."
 "Here." It was Anja's voice that answered and she slid a glass to Heero, "Didn't know you liked vadka."

 He could hear Duo snickering, "Duo!"

 "I wonder. . . " Duo started.

 Anja egged him on, "Yeah?"

 "If you mixed vodka with orange juice and milk of magnesia, would you
get a Phillip's Screwdriver?"

 Anja chuckled and Heero rolled his eyes and slid from under the vehicle. Anja and Duo were sitting by her motorcycle surrounded by old cushions, with a pizza, drinks, cd's, a boombox, and a book. Oh so their studying again. Anja seemed to read his mind and picked the book up so he could see the cover. "P-sychology." She deliberatly mispronounced it.

 Duo snickered again.  "We ponder over stuff like Why is it that if someone tells you that there are over 1 billion stars in the universe you will believe them, but if they tell you a wall has wet paint you will have to touch it to be sure?"

 Anja nodded, grinning ear to ear, "Duo actually started that discussion. I told him they had just painted the building but he leaned up against it anyway."

 "I thought you were kidding!" Duo defended himself.

 "He went through the whole rest of the school day looking like a skunk and the Psych building has a nice new imprint of his skinny rear on the wall."

 "My butt is not skinny!"

 "Oh, sorry." Anja smiled at Heero, "His fat butt then."

 Duo threw a cushion at her.

 Heero sighed, this was a normal scene now. Anja and Duo could not behave in each other's presence if their lives depended on it.

 "Psychology actually makes a little sense but English. . . now that is a screw language!"

 Anja nodded, "We are American and we're having trouble in that class."

 "A lot of it just doesn't make any sense."

 Anja smiled, "I mean, Why do we say something is out of whack?"

 Heero arched one brow, "What is a whack?"

 Anja and Duo both fell into hysterical fits of laughter. Heero glared and waited for them to finish, finally he just walked away.

 Anja wiped tears of mirth from her eyes and tryed to catch her breath, "Oh, oh man I wish we could have recorded that!"

 Duo held up his mini recorder used to tape class discussions and grinned then pushed rewind and play, ‘"Why do we say something is out of whack?" "What is a whack?"'

 They started laughing again. "I think Heero should join our English class." Anja smiled.

 Duo grinned, "Things would never be dull."
 
 

 Duo returned to their dorm room to find Heero pouring over an English text book. "Heero? What ya doin'?"

 "Learning English."

 "Why?"

 "I want to know what you and Anja talk about. And I want to know what your songs say."

 "You could ask me you know."

 "But I want to hear." Heero insisted, "Mission accepted."

 Duo shook his head, "Anja and I can help you then."

 "You laughed at me."

 Duo grinned, "It was just too cute Heero! We couldn't help it!"

 "Hn."

 "If we promise not to laugh? Then can we help?"

 Heero finally sighed in defeat. "Fine."
 

 "Great! I'll call Anja up, it isn't too late to get some work done."
 

 Anja rushed over fast as she could. Teaching Heero English sounded too fun! But Duo made her promise not to let Heero hear her laugh.

 Duo had already started when she walked in. "Ok so dis- at the beginning means to take something away. Like. . . disembowel or dismembered."

 Anja snickered, "That is truly morbid Duo."

 "Truly huh? So?" He grinned and patted the bed next to him and Heero, "Have a seat."

 "Dis- means to lose something?"

 "Uhuh."

 "So, If a pig loses its voice, is it disgruntled?"

 Anja bit her lip to keep from laughing.

 Duo cleared his throat, "Um. . . there are exceptions."

 Anja nodded, a squeaking sound coming from her throat.

 "Anja?"  Heero look suspiscious.

 "Surpressed yawn." She explained with a strait face.

 "Don't be a wise man." Heero growled.

 Duo chuckled softly, "It's wise guy Heero."

 "Why are a wise man and a wise guy opposites?"

 Anja shrugged, "Crazy Americans."

 Heero silently agreed.

 "Ok, now De- means to take something away or lower it, like debugged or declassified."

 Anja rolled her eyes at his example.

 "So De- and Dis-  are close to the same thing." Heero noted.

 Duo nodded, "Yeah."

 "Then If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, doesn't it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked and dry cleaners depressed?"

 Anja broke out laughing and Heero pitched her out of the room on her ass. She just sat in the hall laughing. Duo soon joined her and Heero slammed the door and got back to his studying. Alone!

 Duo doubled over with laughter and Anja pulled herself up and grinned, "That was priceless." Duo snickered.

 Anja nodded and pulled out her pocket recorder, "It was a Sony moment."

 Duo's eyes bugged, "Heero's gonna kill you if her hears that!"

 "‘If' is the operative word,"

 "No I think kill is."

 Anja chuckled and pocketed her recorder, "Lets go to the cafe and get some dinner."

 "It's cafe food we better make sure dinner doesn't get us." Duo quipped.

 "Heeeeerrrrrrooooo." And sang, "Wanna come?"

 "Shut up. Omea wa Korasu!"

 Anja smiled at Duo, "He isn't coming."
 

 The two sat absorbing their psych book's contents getting ready for the final exam that was coming the next week. Unfortunately that combined with Heero's English lessons put the two already hyper kids into an even more quirky mood.

 Anja eyed the croutons for her salad dubiously.

 "What?" Duo asked.

 " I was just wondering. Why do croutons come in airtight packages? It's just stale bread to
begin with."

 Duo shrugged, "Hey I have a question."
 

 "Yeah?"

 "When cheese gets it's picture taken, what does it say?"

 Anja started to chuckle and took a bit of her food.

 "Why is the man who invests all your money called a broker?" Duo thought out loud.

 "Psychological warning." Anja replied, "We should writer that in out final paper."
 The too sat in silence watching each other then broke into another fit of giggles.
 

 Monday came around too quickly for the Americans and they found themselves front and center in their English class, the last two seats left when they ran in the doors five minuets late.

 "Nightwind-san. Maxwell-san. I hope you two have a good reason for being tardy."

 Anja smiled, "Heero tried to kill us."

 "This does not surprise me." The teacher replied and the class started to chuckle.

 "We were trying to teach him English." Duo explained.

 "English."

 "We thought we could use the quirks of the English language as the topic for our final report."

 "Go on."

 "Well, listen to some of our notes." Anja pressed play on her recorder. "Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who drives a race car not a racist?" "Why isn't 11 pronounced onety one?" "Why do overlook and oversee mean opposite things?" "If horrific means to make horrible, does terrific mean to make terrible?" the tape cut of their with laughter and a screamed "Omae wa Korosu!"

 The professor and students tried to hold back their mirth and he asked the two, "Does Heero-san know you have this?"

 "Are you crazy?!" They both asked simultaneously. "He'd kill us!"

 "I wouldn't want your final to be hazardous to your health. We only get one life."

 Anja smiled at that.

 "Penny for your thoughts?" The teacher asked patiently.

 Anja's eyes lit up but Quatre, who was seated in the back beside Trowa beat her to it. "Let me guess. . .  When someone asks you "A penny for your thoughts," and you put your
two cents in, what happens to the other penny?" He smiled.

 She grinned at him and nodded.

 "It goes toward your hospital bills if Heero gets his hands on that." Trowa said dryly.

 "Ok, ok class settle down." The teacher sighed, "Now to continue with last week's lesson."

 Anja and Duo quietly took their seats.

 "‘I am' is reportedly the shortest sentence in the English language. what is the longest?" He paused then repeated, "If I am is the shortest sentence in the English language then the longest sentence could be ____"

 Anja and Duo both answered "‘I do!'"

 They were escorted out of class breaking Anja's record of twenty times in one trimester. Cheers and applause accompanied them as the teacher hauled them out by their collars.
 

 Anja stared at the Roman numerals on the clock outside the dean's office. "Duo?"

 "Hm?" Asked the boy beside her.

 "Do you think Roman paramedics refer to IV's as "4's"?"

 Duo snickered and the door to the office opened. The Dean took one look at the two and frowned, "You again?!"

 Anja smiled, "Cause we missed you."

 "You were in here yesterday for what was it again? Leaning against a wall we had just painted?"

 "Hey I warned him about that one!" Anja insisted.

 The dean sighed, "You Americans are a menace to the entire school."

 "But you still love us don't you?" Anja smiled and she and Duo turned on their best lost puppy dog eyes.

 "Out! Get out of my office before I do something that I will regret!"

 They were out the door before her shut his mouth.
 
 

 The ‘troublesome two' walked alone the river bank waiting for their friends to get out of classes. Anja, as always, totted her palm held radio with her. "Love is Blind' was playing. They stopped to feed the ducks some stale bread from the cafeteria and Duo sang softly along with it.

 "Hey yo I don't even know you and I hate you, see all I know is that my girlfriend used to date you. How would you feel . . . Love is blind and It'll take over your mind, what the think is love is truly not you need to elevate and find love is blind. . ."

 Anja frowned and nibbled on her lip. "If love is blind, why is lingerie so popular?"

 Duo paused, taken by surprise at the change of subject and then laughed and retaliated, "Well Why do women wear evening gowns to nightclubs? Shouldn't they be wearing night gowns?"

 Anja doubled over at that picture, then once she could control herself she smiled at Duo, "How about, Do infants enjoy infancy as much. . ."

 ". . . as adults enjoy adultery?" Duo finished with her, then they both fell to the grass giggling.

 The others heard these last comments as they made their way to the river and Kurama closed his eyes and sighed, "I am so glad that Psych class is only a half  trimester and not full."

 All of the others nodded in agreement and went to calm to giggling pair.

FIVE

 Wufei gasped at the delightful sensations tripping over his skin. The soft silky touch. . . Wait a minute. . . "Nani. . . ?"

 Anja was sprawled out beside him, stroking his muscles in her sleep. He couldn't say it didn't feel wonderful but. . . were they not in his dormitory room? How had she gotten here? He tensed as he realized who his roommate was this term.

 Black, sloe eyes raised to meet slitted fox-like ones and Kurama looked from his sister to his new roommate with careful calculation. "Uh. . . K'rama. . . I had nothing to do with. . ."

 "Oh it looks like you had a lot to do with this WuFei." Kurama glared through his curtain of sleep tossed red hair.

 "She was here when I awoke!" The Chinese boy insisted, not wanting to anger the Youko/ningen.

 "That happens to be my sister." Kurama said dangerously.

 "I know, I. . ."

 "Hmm, Wu-chan." Anja murmered nuzzling closer to him, sending chills up his spine.

 "Uh. . ." He could see death in Kurama's eyes.

 "Make your peace with the Gods. Wu-‘chan'" The fox growled and lashed out.

 Anja caught his fist easily in her hand without opening her eyes, "No."

 Two pairs of surprised eyes focused upon the human girl and she turned languidly to face
her brother. "Anja. . ."

 "You can not hurt him K'rama." She insisted, "He's mine." She fingered the red scabbing
bite marks on Wufei's neck. "I marked him."

 He raised his hand to those same marks, "Oh shit! Kurama I swear I didn't know what
they meant I. . ."

 "Anja I give you one minute to get you and your lover out of this room before I kill you
both." Kurama threatened. "One."

 Both of them leapt from the bed both stark naked and ran to Wufei's dresser.

 "Ten."

 "You didn't bring your own clothes?!"

 "It seemed like a good idea at the time." She shrugged.

 "Twenty."

 They threw underwear, pants and shirt on. Kurama reached forty in the count and Anja
grabbed up a hair brush and two ties as Wufei threw their books into his bag.

 "Fifty-five."

 They ran out and slammed the door right as he finished, "sixty."

 "Wow! They're fast."

 "Hn, get back in bed fox." Hiei mumbled from his lover's loft.

 The Youko/ningen grinned.
 
 

 Anja laughed breathlessly as they raced hand in hand through the dorms, earning very odd
looks and a few cat calls.

 "You are insane!" Wufei gasped as they entered the stairwell.

 "Ah but you love it!" She teased.

 "Kurama was going to kill us!"

 "Only a little."

 "What is it with you and your ‘only a little'? You can die just a little!"

 She laughed impishly and they burst outside into the bright spring sun. Anja twirled in
mid flight and chanted, "Spring time, the only pretty ring time, birds sing, a ding a ding, sweet
lovers love the spring."

 Wufei chuckled and grasped her arm, "Your hair is a mess."

 "Look who's talking." She snickered.

 He frowned and fingered the dirty lochs, Wufei couldn't stand dirty hair.

 Anja was no different.

 "You have a bath in your apartment yes?"

 Her smile went ear to ear, "Let's go!"
 
 

 As the lilac scented bubbles popped tickling his nose, WuFei sighed, sinking more
relaxed against the comforting soft skin of his lover, "I think we should do this more often."

 "Aa." Anja smiled and nipped his neck lovingly as their slick bodies rubbed wetly against
eachother.

 They just lounged there, Wufei's back against Anja's chest, her legs wrapped around his
hips. He laid his head back against her shoulder and his breath slipped unrushed passed fine
sculpted lips. "We should get out soon, we have classes. . ."

 "What ones today." Anja asked in a soft breathy voice as she nipped at his ear.

 "Aaaa, Mathematics, history of art. . . unggg. . ." He arched into her lips and groaned,
"Writing and Dance. . . Mmmm. . . and Judo club."

 "We can miss all but Dance and Judo." Anja smiled and ran her fingers through his wet
hair, "And those don't start until tonight."

 "Aa." He agreed, beyond caring.

 She giggled and squeezed a dollop of pine scented shampoo into her hand, massaging it
into WuFei's dark lochs, "I still can't believe you let me talk you into taking ballet with me."

 He pressed his head back into her stroking hands and purred, "I want to be with you."

 Her hands kept working as she nuzzled his neck lovingly. "And I do love seeing you in
tights." She cooed, "You have great legs Wu-chan! And that rear. . ."

 Wufei could feel her smile against his neck and he chuckled, "Yours isn't half bad
either."

 "My precious dragon."

 "My beautiful nymph."

 Anja's pet Chibiera, Canon, who had been sitting in the shadows walked to the side of the
tub and signed, ‘You mean Nympho.' With his tiny hands.

 "Why you!" She splashed the tiny bat-like creature and he gave a loud screech and flew to
perch on the towel rack and signed angrily at her, ‘now I'm going to smell of flowers!'

 "Serves you right." Anja stuck her tongue out at the creature.

 Wufei turned to catch it in his mouth, "Mmm," He smiled when they separated, "There
are much better uses for that than insulting the Chibiera."

 "Show me again." She breathed.

 A knock on the main door interrupted them, "Hai?" Anja called.

 "It's us, Yuusuke and Kuwabara."

 "It's open."

 The boys walked in and saw the trail of Wufei's clothing leading to the bathroom. "Ah. . .
Anja?"

 "Hold up, let us wash our hair and we'll be right out!" She called.

 "Us. . . Our. . .We. . . ?" Yuusuke looked at Kuwabara who was blushing as red as he
was, "I didn't have to know this."

 "Nani?" Anja asked a few minuets later, walking in dressed in only a very large towel.

 "Uh. . ."

 "Yuusuke you are usually much more articulate."

 ". . ." The boy just stared.

 "Um. . . clothes?" Kuwabara hinted.

 "Oh!" She smiled and picked up one of the shirts strewn over the floor and slipped it back
over her head. "Wow, my first brothers weren't half as shy as you two."

 "Anja why are you wearing WuFei's clothes?"

 "Kurama kicked us out of the dorm room too fast for me to borrow Hiei's or his."

 "Why didn't you have any?"

 "I didn't sneak in with any."

 ". . ."

 "I don't want to know." Yuusuke groaned.

 "Ok."

 WuFei came out a moment later smelling suspiciously like Lilacs and Pine. Anja tossed
him his clothes and he grinned and snatched them out of the air. The other two boys turned in
embarrassment as their sister and Wufei each shimmied into Wufei's black briefs and a White,
Chinese pants and tunic top. "Done." She smiled and they turned to see her snatch Wufei's hair
band from his hair, "No leave it down today." She smiled.

 "But. . ."

 "Please?" Anja's mouth was millimeters from his own. "It looks so sexy down."

 The other two sweat-dropped.

 "Only if you leave yours unbound as well."

 "Will you brush it for me?"

 He smiled and took up the brush then they sat in the egg shaped, hanging chair. Wufei
behind and Anja sitting between his legs.

 Yuusuke and Kuwabara sat on the papa-san couch. "Um. . . we were going to see why
you weren't in math class for Kurama but. . ." He couldn't complete the sentence.

 "It's obvious why you missed." Kuwabara motioned to WuFei and Anja shrugged.

 "This is a lot more interesting than trigonometry."

 "So what are you doing for the rest of the day?"

 "Skipping, until five."

 "What's at five?"

 "Dance class."

 "And Wufei?"

 "He's in my dance class."

 They sweat-dropped again, "Ballet?!"

 Anja's grin was huge, "You should see how fine his ass looks in tights.

 All three boys choked.

 "Anja!" Wufei protested.

 "Well, I can't help it dragon, I want every one to know just how wonderful you are."

 "Could you leave my. . . ass, out of it?"

 "But that's one of the best parts!"

 He was afraid to continue the conversation any further lest it travel into his. . . other
assets.

 Yuusuke and Kuwabara were ignoring the two, wondering how they would explain Anja
and Wufei's absence to Hiei and Kurama without getting severely injured by her two very
protective Youkai brothers.

 Anja sensed this and smiled, "Don't worry, here." She scribbled out a quick not and
stuffed it into an envelope. "Just give them this then run away."

 They looked relieved. Until they read it, "Do you want us to die?"

 "What?" Wufei took the note from them and read it out loud. "I was taking a bath with
Wu-chan, wink wink." He groaned and wrote a new note. "Here."

 "Thanks, um. . . we'll just show ourselves out ok?"

 "Hai, Bye!"

 "Bye."

 Wufei ran the brush carefully through her wet tresses.

 "Hm. . ." She smiled and took the brush from him, setting it aside.

 "Anja?"

 She placed her finger upon his lips and led him to the bedroom, to her little, sunken nest
with silken sheets. "WuFei." She breathed and pressed her lips to his as they tumbled down onto
the down blankets that lie under the silk. They both chuckled and teased.

 "Wu-chan." Anja smiled into his kiss, "My dragon we just got dressed!" She laughed
when he removed her shirt and began to untie her pants.

 "We just bathed too, likely we will have to do that again as well."

 "Hmm, I have a shower you know."

 Wufei's eyes sparkled, "We haven't tried That yet."

 "Hm." Anja smiled in agreement and crushed her lips to his once more, pulling white
clothing away from caramel colored skin. Soon the clothing was in a heap on the ground once
again and the two lovers pressed up against each other, loving the feel of skin against skin.

 Wufei's rough, sword calloused hands rubbed up and down Anja's back and he kissed her
neck, the hollow of her throat, her collar bone. She bit her lip tenderly when his questing mouth
found her breasts and he drew one nipple into his mouth, rolling his tongue over in and nursing it
until it was tight and hard as a stone, then he moved his attentions to the other one, kneading the
one he had just left with his hand like a contented cat. His lips traveled lower and she squirmed
as he ran his tongue over her ribs, over her now slightly rounded abdomine, and flicked it into her
belly button. When he moved lower still she arched up into him, her hands buried in his thick
tresses, pushing him closer into her as his tongue quested. "Oh god! Oh god! Aaaa. . . Wu Feiiiii!
Uhnnnn!. . . . Aaaaa. . . . my dragon, yes, . . . . Aaaaa, Aaaaa, Aaaaa, hnnn. Yes. . ."

 He grew harder with each moan, each little breathless sound she made. His tongue flicked
into her heat, tasting the warm moisture that now pooled there. Waiting. The soft patch of hair
over her feminine heat tickled his nose as she pressed him closer, arching into him. When he
found her weak spot, he lavished it with attention, drawing more breathless pleas from her throat.
"Wu-chan! Hnnn. . . Aaaaa. . . yes, oh yes! WuFei! Please I. . . oh god! Oh god! Nnnn. . . . hn. . .
hn. . . hn. . . Aaaaa!!!"

 Just as she felt him stiffen and spill his seed, the world shrank into a pin head, nothing
existed but the feeling, Nothing but his hot mouth covering her, the soft tongue inside her, she
burst! Her whole body convulsed into a tight glass sphere which then shattered into a million
pieces, a million feathers each floating back down to rebuild her form again. When she opened
her eyes Wufei had moved to lay beside her, his strong arms fighting off the extremely lonely
feeling that crept up when the brilliance of completion was over.

 He spread soft kisses all over her face and neck and she returned each one to him. Her
teeth bit painfully into the wounds on his shoulder and then she licked away the blood in a
humble apology to him. "Hmm, mine." She breathed.

 "That is the fifth time you've bitten me there." He chuckled, "How long do you plan on
doing that?"

 "Hmm, until it scars, so everyone can see you're mine."

 "Must be a demon thing ne?"

 "Hai, I learned it from Kuronue and Shura. Hiei and Kurama mark each other too."

 "May I mark you."

 "Hai." She turned her head so that her long and delicate neck was exposed to him.

 "Aa." He moaned, "Anja." He bit down on the pale flesh until blood seeped into his
mouth.

 "Uhnnn!" Anja groaned and arched into the pleasure/pain.

 Wufei licked the blood away and murmured an apology softly.

 She closed her eyes and cuddled up against his chest and the both fell into a light sleep.
Even in slumber each could feel the other's arms. They meant safety, and love.
 
 

 When WuFei woke up, he found himself staring into eyes like moving stained glass.
"Anja." He smiled slightly, an unguarded and soft look only for her, only after they had made
love. "How long have you been watching me?"

 "Long time." She murmured.

 "Oh." He starred at her eyes for a while, watching the light dance and play off of each of
the hundreds of colored specs that made up her eyes as the moved, forming different patterns
each second.

 Anja smiled and look right back into his eyes. Loving the tender moment. "Fei?"

 "Hm?"

 "You have brown eyes don't you."

 He was thrown by the statement. "Yes, of course."

 "I thought they were black." She admitted. "But if you look close enough, they're deep
sable brown."

 He quirked his lips and smoothed a hand over her cheek as she smiled at him. "You are
so precious to me." He breathed, pulling her closer.

 She smiled and buried her face into his chest, "And you to me. My precious little
dragon."

 He chuckled and she kissed the muscles beneath her lips.

 A knock sounded on the door.

 Anja groaned and vaulted out of the bed.

 Wufei groaned at his excellent view of her back side, (and front side by way of the dance
mirrors).

 Anja chuckled, "Hentai."

 "Only for you." Wufei countered as he stood as well.

 The knock came again.

 "Alright!" She moaned tearing her eyes away from Wufei. She threw on the borrowed
briefs and sleeveless shirt and padded to the door.

 Quatre and Duo's eyes went wide at the side of Anja in Wufei's briefs. "Um. . . I. . ."

 "Duo? Quatre?"

 "Yeah?"

 "Come in?"

 "Oh! Yeah!" They bounced inside and Anja rolled her eyes and retrieved Wufei's pants.

 "Why are you wearing Wufei's clothes?"
 

 "Kurama chased me out of the dorm room to quick to grab anything else."

 "What were you doing naked in their dorm room?!"

 Anja gave him a look that definitely told him he had asked a stupid question.

 Wufei walked out of the bedroom a moment later, hair down and wearing only his pants
and carrying his shirt over his arm. Quatre almost had heart failure. "WuFei?! You. . . Anja. . .
Now. . . ? I mean. . ."

 Anja smiled knowingly, "No we were done, you didn't interrupt anything but some pillow

talk."

 Duo lightened the air by whooping, "Way ta go Wu-Man!"

 Wufei glared at him and sat on the floor, Anja moved behind him and tenderly brushed
his hair. When he tried to put it up in a pony tail she smacked his fingers away, "You promised,
remember?"

 The other two pilots stared in shock.

 "Um. . . Anja we kind of need you. . .?"

 "Why?"

 "A huge Youkai is smashing downtown Tokyo."

 "Godzilla?" She snicked.

 Duo grinned and turned to the Arab, "See, I told you."

 Wufei stood and pulled his hair back, "I need it out of my eyes." He explained.

 Anja nodded and plaited hers then grabbed up her sword. "Well? Come on!"
 
 

 The campus was a mess, the Youkai obviously didn't approve of the four spirit hunters
who were so viciously attacking it.

 Anja and Wufei ran into the courtyard and She moved to help her brothers as Wufei

helped the pilots get civilians out of harms way.

 "Hey big and ugly!" Anja yelled.

 "Anja!" The others cried out in warning.

 She winked at them, she knew not to use any unnatural powers or anything when they had
an audience. Her sword was strictly her own power though, and she intended to use it.

 The monster turned to stare at the newest threat.

 "Na na," Anja teased, "Your kassan smoked weed!"

 The thing didn't understand the English words but it did know the little girl was insulting

it. It advanced and Anja dodged with a giggle.

 "Run run as fast as you can, can't catch me ‘cause you're a dead man."

 The thing roared and bared down on her, swiping out with it's huge paw like hand.

 This time it connected, and Anja curled up to protect her unborn child and went flying
into a brick wall.

 "Anja!" WuFei cried, leaving the students to go to her side.

 "Damn that hurt!" She stood unsteadily at first then glared death at the youkai.

 "Hey! Yo! Bozo! I'm still standin'!" She screamed.

 The thing turned from her brothers again to advance upon her.

 "Um, how ‘bout we talk this over?" She eeped and dodged between it's legs. "Guys!" She
yelled in Japanese, "We could really use a plan right about now!"

 Heero pulled a gun and shot the this right between the eyes.

 "Good plan." She snickered.

 The Youkai staggered back a step then opened it's mouth and belched, sending the bullet
right back out, luckily it missed Heero by an inch.

 "Ok, maybe not. Good thing it didn't come out the other end!" She turned to Kuwabara
and thought fast, "Yo! Kazuma!"

 "Nani?"

 "Throw me at him."

 "What?!"

 "Like those comics you read. X-Men, fastball special."

 "Oh!" His eyes lit up like a light had gone on in his brain and he nodded. "One. . . Two. .
. Three!" He picked her up and hurled her toward the creature's face.

 "Bonzai!!!!!!" She yelled and stabbed her sword into his head, slitting it down to it's neck
and running around it's shoulders before she rammed the blade into it's back and jumped, slitting
it all the way down.

 Hiei caught her idea quickly, "Baka!"

 Kuwabara turned to Hiei with a frown but threw him as well.

 The little Youkai finished the job and the things head fell to the ground with a sickening
thud, then it evaporated into dust before their eyes.

 Anja went through the clothes and found nothing of interest except a little yellow tinted
stone in his pocket which she pocketed, and the ring that had been pierced through the things ear,
which she thought would make an awesome dream catcher.

 Wufei pulled her tight against him and shivered, "God I could have lost you!"

 "I'm still here." She soothed, "I would never leave you Wu-chan."

 Kurama ruffled his sister's hair and smiled, "Good job!"

 Kuwabara was boasting about his strength and Hiei was making fun of him, while
Yuusuke watched.

 Duo and Heero were together. Heero scolding Duo for his carelessness and taking so long
to get reenforcements, while he made sure the other pilot was alright. Duo was smiling, he loved
it when Heero was worried about him.

 Trowa was giving his angel a once over, "You ok?"

 "Hai." The blond nodded with a blush.

 "Wow!" One of the students told Hiei and Anja in awe, "You guys are good! You should
join the Kendo team!"

 ". . ."

 ". . ."

 "Um, they'll think about it." Yuusuke said quickly.

 Wufei never released the American girl, So close, it was so close!

 "Wu-chan." She breathed, "I'm fine."

 "Are you sure?"

 She nodded and smiled and he let her go, but kept hold of her loosely from behind.

 "What happened here!" The dean of the college cried surveying the damage around him.

 "Um. . ." Duo bit his lip, "Termites?"

 "Termites." The dean repeated in disbelief.

 "Yeah! Damn those suckers get big!" He and Anja both exclaimed at the same time then
burst out laughing.

 "What is that?" He pointed to the ring Anja held.

 "Hula hoop."

 "Uhuh."

 The rest of the team was trying to look innocent but when you're trying not to laugh, it
doesn't work very well.

 The dean turned his attention to Anja whom Wufei instantly held tighter, "What did you
two have to do with this Ms Nightwind, Mr. Maxwell?"

 "Comic relief I think."

 "Young lady I do not find insubordination humorous."

 Anja grinned.

 Wufei could just imagine what she was thinking.

 She was deciding how many ways she could kill the dean without leaving the comfortable
arms she was wrapped in.

 Kurama, knowing how Anja's mind worked, broke her train of thought, "Anja I think you
missed dance class."

 She grabbed Wufei by the wrist and glanced at his watch, "Aw man!"

 "I am waiting for your answer." The dean said calmly.

 "Why do you think it was us? Hm?" She asked, becoming more and more annoyed.

 "Who else would it be? You two Americans have run amok creating havok in this
university since you were admitted.

 She smiled sweetly. "Havok is a strong word, don't you think so Duo?"

 "Definitely a very strong word."

 "Do I have to call your parents?"

 Anja's eyes narrowed and Kurama groaned and slunk back with the others. Even Duo
took a step back. Wufei was the only one who didn't move. Her voice was hard as stone and cold
as death when she answered. Her face frowning but closed. "My parents are dead."

 The dean faultered, "Well, your foster family then."

 "They kicked me out."

 "I. . ."

 "My only family are my brothers here."

 "Brothers?"

 "The ones you are accusing beside me." She said with fire burning in her eyes.

 "Where does your guardian live then, we have a guardian listed for you."

 "Makai."

 Kuwabara choked and Anja smiled evilly.

 "Don't play games with me young lady." He threatened.

 "We just saved your fucking school and you're questioning us and I'm playing games. I
like that. You have a sort of, ‘I live outside of reality' thing going."

 "Consider yourself expelled."

 "Don't bother with the paperwork chief I quit." She spat then turned and walked away.

 "Anja? Anja!" Wufei followed her. "Baka." He said to the dean before his left, "Where
Anja goes, I go."

 The man watched his second highest ranking student walk away.

 "That was harsh." Duo accused then walked away.

 Kurama stood before the dean, the highest scoring student in that collage and most others.
"You hurt my sister."

 "I. . ." He moved his mouth but nothing came out.

 "I do not think this is a good place for me to be." He frowned.

 "But. . ."

 Hiei gave him and evil look, "Kisama." The followed his fox.

 "You think hurting innocent girls is fun?" Trowa asked, draping his arm over Quatre's
shoulders.

 The arab finished for him. "We quit."

 The dean watched the fourth and third highest ranking students go with wide eyes.

 "That orphaned American has a lot of friends, ne?" Duo frowned. "I quit."

 Heero walked up behind him and spit on the dean's shoe, "I quit."

 Yuusuke looked at the shocked man and waved, "Bye."

 "Yeah," Kuwabara grinned, "Don't call us and we won't call you."

 They packed up and left the dorms. Genkai would let them stay until they found a house
or apartment. None of them had found anything to learn at the school anyway. Most already
knew and the others never attended class enough for it to matter.

 "Should we go find Wu-Man and the girl wonder?" Duo asked softly as he toted his bag
up the temple steps.

 "No." Kurama sighed, "Let them be for now."

 "Hn." Hiei growled, "Ningen no baka."

 "Hey!" The ningens present protested.

 He gave Kurama an ‘I rest my case' kind of look and the fox started to snicker as they
walked ahead, leaving ningens and a half breeds to fume behind them.
