"Oh not again. She did? Ok, Rashid, I'll be there as soon as I can." Quatre hung the phone up and ran upstairs, narrowly missing running into the braided pilot. "Yo Quatre! Where's the fire?" He asked, a bit confused as he followed the worried blonde "I'm sorry Duo, but I have to hurry home." "Again? This is like the 10th time in two months." Duo commented as the blonde hurriedly packed. "Why are you leaving so much?" He asked, as he sat on Quatre and Trowa's bed. "Oh, I never told you guys?" Quatre seemed a bit embarrassed. "Well, I have a baby sister, she's been very depressed for the last half year. Since last month, she's been suicidal." Quatre said, as he felt the others enter. "You're not going by yourself this time, koi." Trowa said, softly as he embraced the little blonde. "I guess you guys being there will help her recovery. She loves guests, I hope she still does." He said, a bit fearfully.
"I just called Quatre. Must you upset him so?" Rashid said as he sat at her bedside. "Cassandra, why are you so unhappy with life that you want to end yours?" He asked as she stared blankly at the ceiling. "And quothe the raven "Never More." She said, quietly. "Why must you be like this to us?" He asked, holding her delicate hand, avoiding the bandages around her bloody wrists.
"I hope she's alright." Quatre said as he entered the house. He ran up the stairs to her room. "Oh Cassy! Why?" He asked as the others entered. The girl lay on the bed, blankly staring at the ceiling, waist length black hair fanned out about her. "You shouldn't have her wrists wrapped if the bleeding has stopped." Heero said, approaching softly. Her emerald eyes left the ceiling for the first time in two days to meet his electric blue gaze. "Here, now the wound can breath." He said as he held her arm firmly and pulled the bandages off. "How do you know?" She asked shyly, as she sat up. He bared his wrists to show small scars. "Oh, I see." She said softly, tracing one. Their eyes locked again, he shook his head. "What's this weird feeling?" He thought, he felt like he did when he'd met Releana...but this time the feeling was much stronger. "She used to be an assassin." Rashid said as he looked at Quatre. "That's when Master Winner died, she felt the need to get revenge." "You never told me she was learning that? Who did she assassinate?" "Tried to...Lady Une. She knew she had killed your father." Rashid said, a bit ashamed. "Don't blame him!" Cassandra sat up, glaring. "It was my own choice. Like did I blame you for becoming a gundam pilot?" She looked at him sternly with her cold green eyes. "He was just worried." Heero said, setting his hand on her shoulder. Cassandra could normally get mad and stay mad for hours but she calmed down and lay back on her bed. Quatre was a bit shocked at this, he knew she had a temper, that's why her father had her hunt with him. Any kind of outlet for her temper, thus the nickname "The Huntress" her sisters dubbed her with. While they were wined and dined, she hunted. "Why is she seeming to do as Heero says? Does she like him?" Quatre mused as they left her to rest.
