Author's Note: Hehehe........ okay so I have another chapter out. Please not tell me I'm over glorifying things and damaging this fic. Also I know about the misspelling of the title, I did that on purpose. I know what I'm doing. Enjoy or hate it.

Relena breathed heavily, once again flat on her back.
"I don't know why I put up with this torture. Surely learning how to defend myself from hired muscle, not from most assassins, is not worth this pain."
"You asked for it. There is no other training on this base. Besides you need it being a fresh target out there. You may be great at fencing, Princess, but you don't' know the first thing about defending yourself. Most people at least have some knowledge because of the war, but you.... It's like you were sheltered all your life."
Getting up, Relena felt every ache and pain from the session. She ignored the last comment for it cut too close to home.
"Knock it off 04.With you nagging me everyday , how could I forget?"
The girl smiled cruelly at Relena, and knocked Relena off her feet once again.
They had met only by chance. Relena, with her new identity of Aldinre and money, started her new life. But by the end of the week, Relena had made a huge mistake. Still thinking in terms of her old life, she had pissed off some very important people. In turn, these people decided to teach Aldinre, a lesson.
One learns how useless fencing is in defending yourself when you have no sword.
Shi finding her injured, nursed her back to health. Rare for a murderer.
The first thing Relena saw when she opened her eyes was the female figure leaning against the wall.
"Well, Well, Well, Narele you're finally awake. Being the arrogant bitch you are, I thought you were going to just off and die, wasting my good deed of the year."
Furious at the insult hurled at her from this unknown stranger, she snapped back.
"I don't see how I could have anything to do with my condition, if I get beaten to a bloody pulp."
"By acting the pompous princess. I don't' know exactly what your past was, but get a grip. This is the real world. You mess with the best, and you get beaten like the rest. That attitude of yours is what got you, as you nicely put it, "beaten to a pulp." The name's Shi, the ever so honored person to save your miserable life."
Disconcerted at the fact that the girl saved her and throwing insults, Relena was silent for a moment.
The girl freaked her out, for they were clearly inside, and the girl persisted wearing the sunglasses. She could tell a lot by a person's eyes.
No matter how good a politician was, she could tell from the eyes.
But the sunglasses blocked the eyes, the window of the soul, from her.
Nevertheless, words of gratitude slipped from her mouth.
"I...thank you. I should not have been so rude, I'm sorry."
Silent, the girl started to walk toward the door. The air vacuum door opened and immediately the girl did a roundhouse kick. There was a grunt and slam, as the girl's boot connected with body. Picking up a sword next the door at the same moment, Shi went after the spy.
Loudly, she said, "I would think Monte would have better sense, putting a spy in my compound like this."
Coldly she unsheathed the sword, the sound echoing. With honed senses, she found her target.
"Say hello to the Devil for me, darling."
The man slumped, his blood pooling onto the floor.
Back in the room, Relena shivered, thinking surely her rescuer would not be as ruthless as to murder a man in cold blood.
The girl came back in the room, the blade in her hand dripping blood.
"Sorry Princess, but duty calls. You'll be released back outside soon enough, but unfortunately you'll have to be blindfolded. My sense of charity only goes so far."
For some reason Relena felt that she must remain.
"I don't wish to go back. Can I stay here?"
The girl paused in the doorway. "You want to stay here?"
Swallowing the sudden lump in her throat, she nodded her head. Shi had on her face a cruel smile, one that she would get to know well.
Relena found out long ago, that Shi rarely truly smiled. Through, from a slip of tongue, Shi was only her age, but seemed to have aged beyond her years. She had seen this happening in soldiers but somehow the situation with Shi seemed different.
One wonders how it was manageable to hide from one Heero Yuy for so long. By her calculations, she had been there almost a year. In that space of time she was taught all sorts of lessons, more fitting for a to be assassin than defense lessons. Btu they sufficed and in that time, she somehow became friends with the callous Shi.
They came to call each other "Princess" and "04." Princess because of the way Relena sometimes acted, and 04 because of the meaning of "Shi" in Japanese. It also meant death, but Relena chose not to dwell in the gray. And most times Shi remained Shi, and only used "04" to rile her up. Usually that ended in Relena in getting twice as many bruises, so she didn't' call Shi that too much. Through probably to the surprise to many people, she was no masochist.
Just as Relena snapped out of her thoughts, the alarm shrieked. Shi, stopping the punch she was going to contact with Relena's stomach, glanced at her watch. Puzzled, Relena looked at the ghastly pallor of Shi's face.
For the first time since Relena arrived, Shi took off her sunglasses. The glass cracked as Shi's foot smashed it.
"Computer, alter environment. Escape route 156."
The floors, ceilings and walls of the gym slide back to solid steel, with only an open hatch the only exit in the floor.
"Aldinre, go through the escape hatch and follow the route through. Don't look back. One must always look forward."
Relena frowned for she was not leaving Shi, for what she considered a friend.
"Go, or I will knock you silly and dump you in there. One of my associates will then get you out. We can do this the hard way."
Angry, Relena did as she told. But just as the silver plating sealing shut into place, she could see the walls of the escape route revert back to steel. Startled, thinking it was maybe a mistake, Relena started to climb back out. She couldn't, and frustrated, almost kicked the steel plating. She stopped in time to hear voices right above her.
The blood drained out of her face as she realized the voice saying the words she knew only so well.
"Omae o' korosu."
A/N: Please don't tell me I'm making an self-insert/Mary Sue or that sort of this. I only did it to further the plot. If I could I done it some other way without using another original character, so be it. I just couldn't think of it. Oh well, flame me, praise me whatever you chose, all is appreciated.
