Enemies, or? - Part 2 by Maaya

---

Noin wasn't too happy about going to her first class this year, she knew that Yuy and Maxwell had probably already met outside the classroom and she would have a fight to play peacemaker in. Oh, those things that made you soooo happy as a teacher..

She was surprised to see that no fight had started; in fact, it seemed quite calm when she opened the door and let the student inside.

Noin hastily decided to ignore Yuy's and Maxwell's bruises and black eyes.

"Now, listen up everyone! This term, I have the honour of showing you where to sit in this classroom." The usual groans was heard. It was actually strange that the students always groaned at this statement, even when they knew that she would say it. Everyone hoped to sit by a friend since the desks stood in lines of two and two.

"I'd like Parker and Darlian to sit there," Noin pointed at two desks, "Catalonia and Winner there." at this statement, Quatre looked frightened. Dorothy was always hunting after boyfriends she could rule over, and Quatre was her latest prey. "And Maxwell and Yuy here."

At Noin's last words, it became quiet in the class. No one dared to say a thing, not even Noin, as they watched the rivals slowly understand what had been stated.

Duo was the fist one to react. His mouth fell wide open and couldn't say a thing. When he finally managed to pick his chin up again he stuttered: "C-c- could you s-say t-that again?" The disbelief was clear in his voice.

Noin decided that it was best to show her scary self before she heard any objections. "Sit. Down. Now!"

Both boys sat down and Heero mumbled to Duo, "I will kill you.."

"Say what?" Duo whispered back, upset. "It's not my fault!"

"Maybe it's good to sit this way, now I can finally see with my own eyes how lousy you are in math!"

Duo clenched his fists, hard. It was true, math wasn't his best subject and he did NOT need Heero pointing that out. "Shut up!"

"Why?"

"Or else I'm gonna paint you locker pink with Darlian's lip gloss!"

Heero had to admit, it was quite interesting to have Duo Maxwell as a rival. Maxwell was rather..creative.

*******

Quatre stared at Dorothy when they sat down. She was, how should you describe it - scary? They were never close but knew each other through their families. The Catalonia-family and the Winner-family were close friends, which meant that they invited each other to dinner on regular basis.

Anyway, when Quatre had decided to pest Duo with complaints about the one he would share a desk with, during lunch, he heard Noin's voice state, "..and Maxwell and Yuy here.." and the idea was blown away. He would sit and bitch about it together with Duo. Same difference.

After seeing his friends sit down, the whole class broke out whispering. Everything was back as usual again. Suddenly, he felt hot breath in his left ear as Dorothy leaned towards him and whispered. "We'll have quite a show with those two in our class, don't you think?" Quatre hastily nodded his head up and down and she continued, "Want to..go out with me tonight?" The last words, she panted out with a little too much false need. Quatre froze before he managed to shake his head.

Dorothy leaned back in her chair with a mischievous smile plastered on her face. Inside, she was furious. Dorothy Catalonia always got what she wanted, and right now, her eyes were set on a precious Quatre Winner!

*******

Meiran spat her cigarette out of her mouth as she saw her friend; Dorothy, coming towards her. "Hey."

"Hey" the longhaired blonde mumbled back to her in an annoyed voice, and Meiran winced. An angry/annoyed Dorothy was NOT fun to talk to. "What's with you today? You've been in a bad mood all day!"

"Quatre" came the reply, and Meiran couldn't stop the smirk that formed on her lips. Most guys were scared of her friend, but they never resisted her when she gave them an opportunity to kiss her. It was strange, really.

"Things not going as planned?"

"Nope, not really." Dorothy looked VERY annoyed now. "He said no to the opportunity to go out with me tonight!"

"How..unpolite." Meiran smirked.

"Yeah." Dorothy either ignored the sarcasm in Meiran's voice or didn't hear it. "How did you get together with Wufei?"

The black-haired, Chinese girl was honestly surprised. "Got together..?"

"Yeah, you know.."

"We're not together!"

Dorothy snorted. "Well, you're married, to start with!"

"It was an arranged marriage! We couldn't help it!"

"Well, you certainly seem to like him." Dorothy ran her fingers through her long blonde hair as she spoke.

"Like him..? Haven't you seen our fights?"

"Onna! Are you talking about me?" Wufei appeared with Heero in tow.

"So what if I am!?"

"You should speak more polite while talking to your husband!" Wufei said, arrogantly.

"We're not in China now, Chang!" Meiran practically screamed now. She held a clenched fist in front of her arrogant husband's eyes.

"So?"

"So!?"

Dorothy and Heero watched with bored looks as their friends started another bickering-contest. I was getting kind of old.

"Winder if they'll fight like this when they are 80 years old and sitting in wheelchairs?" Dorothy mused. As an answer, Heero just snorted at the mental image he got.

"Oh, and by the way Yuy, shouldn't you play basket against Maxwell soon?"

Heero snorted once again before he spoke. "Yeah, in 30 minutes. Don't know why he even bother to try it, though."

"Well, he's quite the stunner."

"Who?" Heero asked, clueless.

"Maxwell you idiot!"

Heero blinked. "Are we talking about the same person anymore?"

Dorothy got a dreamy look in her face as she continued. "If I wasn't set on Quatre, I'd go after him, all right!"

"Hn"

Meiran and Wufei were now trying to rip each other's eyes out, and Dorothy grinned at the look on Heero's face after their conversation.

*******

Duo could *not* believe this! He was together with Heero in four of his classes, and sat beside him in three of them! Had the school-staff decided to drive them both insane, as revenge for the fights they had caused?

He made his way to change into his gym-clothes. He had a game of basketball to win!

While walking over the big lawn in front of the school, he heard Relena and her gang talk about how good Yuy looked this year. He had to agree, Yuy WAS gorgeous, but he would never admit that to anyone.

"Hey, Duo!"

Said person turned around and he found himself standing face to face with a girl, about as short as he was and with short bluish-black hair. Some bangs fell down in front of her eyes, and she smiled excitedly at Duo. He smiled back to her. "Long time no see, Hilde!"

"Duo, I missed you so much! England was boring without your jokes!"

"What are you doing here? I thought you had moved by now!"

Hilde gave him a sad smile. "I'm going, soon. Father sent me back here to fix the last things up. I'll miss you, though"

She looked so sad, and Duo couldn't help but hug her. "Don't worry, you'll make great friends there! But I'll miss you too."

Duo and Hilde were very close friends in earlier years, but when they became older, they grew apart, but still kept contact. They had some kind of a brother-and-sister relationship, they loved each other but didn't necessarily had to be together all the time, but now Hilde had to move to England. She had stayed there during the summer break, and Duo had expected never to see her again. "How long are you staying?"

"Only a week" she said, disgruntled. "I'm staying with a relative, but do you think I could stay at your house instead? My uncle's a real pig! Please, pretty please with sugar! It will be just like the old times!"

"Sure, Mum wouldn't mind!"

Hilde's smile widened and a mischievous glint appeared in her eyes. "Still fighting with Yuy, huh?"

"Yeah. As I would ever stop."

"Done something yet?" Hilde meant pranks, pranks that Duo always pulled on Yuy. She clearly remembered when he had taken all of Yuy's clothes when he showered after gym. class. Yuy had been forced to walk home in only a small white towel tied around his waist.

"Nope, but I'll play a game of basket against him in.." Duo looked at his watch and gasped, "Five minutes! Shit, if I'm late he'll never gonna let me live it down! Catch ya later!" He ran off.

Hilde watched him ruefully as he sprinted over the lawn, his chestnut braid whipping behind him like if it had been a living snake. "Basket, huh? Could be fun." She calmly walked the same way Duo had run, just seconds ago.

*******

"You're late"

Duo got really pissed of by this statement. He stood, hands on his knees and panting after having changing in one minute and then running to their meeting place. "Only by five seconds", he managed between his deep breaths.

"Five seconds is five seconds. You are late." Heero said sternly, but inwardly, he smirked.

"Drop it, Einstein! Shall we play or not?" Duo asked as he stood up straight again.

Heero held the ball in front of him, "Ready," He threw the ball up in the air, "Go!"

*******

Hilde was drooling. Maybe not literally, but in her mind, she did. Two hot guys only dressed in white shorts and red tanktops were playing basket in front of her. It was too bad that she considered one of them as her brother, who considered the other one as an enemy.

Not even Hilde, who had known Duo the longest, knew why Heero and Duo were fighting. As far as she knew, it could be about a teddy bear both had wanted in kindergarten.

A mental image from that thought popped up; a young Duo pouting as he tried to take a stuffed teddy bear from an angry chibi-Heero. She giggled, it was just too cute!

"Hilde? What are you doing here?"

The shorthaired girl turned around and faced a blond boy, with a mixed look of confusion and surprise on his face.

"Quatre!" she screamed as she threw herself on him and hugged him, hard. "I've missed you! I'm only here to fix some things, then I'm going back to England again!"

"Hi, Hilde" he managed in a choked voice as she finally let go of him. He genuinely liked the lively girl that stood in front of him, and he would miss her almost as much as Duo. "How's the game going?"

"Heero's lead." she sighed. "I really hope Duo won't loose, or otherwise he'll complain all night!"

"All night?" Quatre looked confused.

"Yup, I'm staying with him this week." Hilde said when Duo won 2 points. She cheered. "Now it's 8 to 8."

"How long are they going to play?" Quatre sat down on a bench.

"Um" Hilde looked at her watch, "they have 3 minutes to go from now. JESUS!" The last statement was because of before Heero took the ball to start the game again, he took his tanktop off. Hilde drooled, literally this time, and Quatre was close to do that, too.

*******

Duo had to admit, Yuy had a nice body. Very nice, actually. Smooth, tanned skin..taking off his tanktop should be illegal.

He managed to steal the ball from Heero, and dribbled over the plane. Right before he was going to score, Heero grabbed the ball and advanced to the other side again.

The braided ran after him, blocked, and stole the ball again. After that, he ran back again, dribbling wildly, and..scoring.

Duo cheered loudly, slightly wondering why Heero didn't look angry. He decided to provoke him a little. "Hey, I won! Stupid, I won!"

Heero looked at him, calmly. "No, you didn't. It was tie."

Duo stared. "I did a goal idiot, remember?"

"It was time out. The score is 8-8." Heero walked coolly away, ignoring Duo's anger.

"Why, you..!" Duo seethed from anger as he followed.
