Day 26 Nightshift: Hallway Outside of F & M Blocks

Just a bit further now, just a bit further into the woods before the wolf would pounce on her. At least he wouldn't be wearing her grandmother's clothes this time. That ruse was always so irritating, not to mention amateur of a skilled assassin.

But wolves had never been proper assassins anyway. The steel blade was pointed and flew.

Sakura offered a wave and a smile when they came face to face with Relena's companions. They seemed about the same age, maybe just a little older if that. Catching the tail end of the one with the long braid (Duo, Relena had said), the kunoichi couldn't help but grin a little.

"You'd be surprised what these things can do if you know how to use them," she chimed in, only half-joking really as she had three of the clutched between her fingers like senbon.

Quatre smiled. He was relieved that Relena was safe. It wasn't that he didn't think she could handle herself, she had proven that she could time and time again. He just worried. He always worried.

"It's very nice to meet you Miss Sakura," he said, bowing slightly with politeness. "I'm sorry it's not under better circumstances."

"Oh, so it's a double date," Duo remarked when he saw that Relena wasn't alone. "Very nice. Now me and Quatre can share, right?" He paused to eye up Sakura. A very pretty girl indeed.

"Fancy yourself a ninja?" Duo asked the pink-haired girl with a teasing smirk. He knew the way she was holding those pens. Though, as far as weapons went, he'd still like something a little more damaging. You couldn't exactly knock people out or kill them even with a well-placed pen. Not unless you got lucky. And as lucky as Duo considered himself, he wasn't up for testing it.

Relena wanted to groan and smack Duo but held off for the moment. She knew Sakura could adequately handle herself with the self-claimed "God of Death," just like she handled those dragonflies the other night.

Catching Duo eyeing her roommate, she just wanted to sigh or roll her eyes. Boys, honestly. Quatre, thankfully, had more manners. "Did you or Duo have a destination in mind, Quatre?" she asked. She wanted to go back to that room from last night or even check out the doors in that hallway.

"Just 'Sakura' is fine," she assured the more pleasant of the two, young men. To the other, she simply arched an eyebrow at the mention of a "double date."

"Actually, I've got plans for the evening. I just thought I'd take a walk with Relena and meet her friends," she replied pleasantly enough, refraining (surprisingly) from smacking the joker upside the head herself. Fancy herself a ninja. Apparently, the small group already had plans for the evening, so she could leave Relena in their (hopefully) capable hands. With that she smiled and waved, turning to make the trek to Sasuke-kun's room.

"Sorry to leave so soon, but it was nice meeting you all," she called over her shoulder, perhaps a bit too sweetly before her hand shot up out of nowhere, letting a single pen fly with enough speed and force to actually injure something if it made contact with the flesh. It was aimed to just swish by Duo's head before bouncing off the wall behind him.

"And just to answer your question?" Sakura continued in the oh-so-sweet voice as she waved a hand over her back. "I am a ninja, thank you very much. Have a nice night!"

It was all Quatre could do not to face palm when Duo made his comment. He bowed his head once again as the girl left. "Be careful, Sakura," he said, concern obvious on his face. It was the best he could do in face of the folly of wishing her a 'good night'. After the girl was gone he couldn't help but grin at Duo. "I'm sure you'll be getting her number soon," he said, joking for a second before he got much more serious and turned to Relena. He didn't leave time for Duo to think of another come-back, just simply went straight to business.

"We need to get out, but from what I can see there are people that have been trying that and haven't gotten very far, so I'm amusing the front door or the back door won't work. Not that they ever do," a slight pause for a frown. "I would say we should try the basement, but without weapons that would be foolish. So first, we should find weapons. Do you have any idea where we can find some?" He looked at Relena, far apart from thinking that she couldn't handle herself he was now acting as if she was the leader of their party, and he was merely making a suggestion. She had, after all, been in the hospital the longest.

Duo didn't mean any harm with his words. He was a friend to all ladies, of course. But he had the sense to duck out of the way when the pen came flying in the direction of his head, even if it wasn't meant to hit. He waited until the girl was out of sight before leaning down to pick it up.

"Yeah, she wants me," Duo grinned, saying nothing more.

Her phone number? He had every intention of getting her room number. But that would have to wait for later. When Quatre asked Relena about weapons, Duo turned to look at her as well. He had no idea what Relena would know about getting weapons in a place like this, but she was the longest standing resident between the three of them.

"Guns seem to be in short supply if people are running around with pens for weapons, huh?"

[queenpeacecraft.livejournal.com]

Relena rolled her eyes. She knew Sakura could handle herself, but she didn't want Duo permanently damaged if her roommate didn't think he was harmless.

As for weapons.... "I haven't heard of any guns here, but I think I've heard others talk about making other kinds of weapons - swords and the like." She didn't know exactly who were the makers or how they did it, but she had seen some of the notes on the bulletin board. "And there has to be different kinds of knives in the kitchen, considering some of the foods we've had."
