"Who Would Have Thought?" part 1
"Mariemaia is recovering nicely. Her wounds have not all completely recovered, but most." The doctor was doing his weekly checkup on the young girl. "Other then that, nothing else is wrong."
"Thank you, doctor." Lady Une responded. "Then I'll be taking my leave." They headed out, back to the Preventer's office.
"You're not stopping by home first?" The petite girl finally spoke in the car.
"Sorry, but I'm running behind schedule already. It's okay with you, isn't it?"
"Yes, it's fine." She stared out the window, at the passing scenery. They arrived at the office a little bit before noon. "You can leave me here." They were on the 12th floor, where all the Preventer's main offices were. Lady Une agreed and rushed into her office. Mariemaia made her way to Sally's office. Sally was always so nice to her and decided that was the best place to reside.
"Oh, Mariemaia! What re you doing here?" Sally got up from her desk to help the girl in.
"I wasn't able to go home first. Miss Une (I dunno what else to put) was rushing back here. I'm sorry to be a burden to you." Mariemaia very polite in what she said.
"Not at all! Besides, I'm just eating lunch right now with Noin." Mariemaia finally looked up and saw Noin sitting beside the desk with her lunch. "Did you eat yet?"
"No." She sat down in one of the leather chairs.
"Here, take this half of my sandwich. It's turkey." Noin offered.
"Thank you." She accepted it and started to eat.
"Sally? Have you seen those reports Une wants by…what is THAT onna doing here?" Wufei asked walking into Sally's office. He looked next to Noin and saw someone else. "What is that smaller onna doing here?!"
"Please Wufei, don't call them 'onna!' Noin and I are having lunch. Mariemaia is only visiting." She put a stress on 'only.'
Wufei pulled his sword from hammerspace and held the point against Mariemaia's pale neck. "What do you think you're doing, you crazy moron?!" Noin yelled, pushing the weapon away.
"Don't get in the way, weakling!" He pointed the sword at Noin's neck.
"Wufei! Get that rusty old thing out of my office!" Sally was ready to throw a desk lamp at his head. Wufei retreated back to the hall.
"He's whipped." Noin stated.
"I HEARD THAT, ONNA!!!!!!!!!" Wufei exclaimed from the hallway.
"WUFEI!" Sally yelled back. After that, there was silence. "So how have you been?" Sally asked.
"Fine, my wounds are healing and by next month, I don't need these crutches."
"Stupid onna…" Wufei sulked in his office. "I'm not…whipped! I'm strong! They are the ones that are… whipped! Hm? Who's voice is that?…Yuy. I'll ask him if I'm…whipped."
"…They said it's by the L4 Colonies." Heero was talking to some random guy about some random subject.
"Yuy!" Wufei interjected.
"Yes?" Heero turned to the balding Chinese.
"Am I…whipped?" He hesitated to even ask.
"Yes." He replied back immediately.
"What?! No I'm not! I am NOT…whipped! Hmph. You are weak, so what would you know?"
"Really?" Heero gave him a challenging look that dared Wufei to hit him and prove how weak he is.
"How about we drop this topic?" Wufei started to back away.
"Yes, how about we do that now?" Heero turned and walked into the elevator.
"Am I…whipped? Even Yuy said so! I can't ask a woman! They're too weak. There isn't anyone strong enough to answer my question!
"What about me?" A young girl's voice chimed in. Wufei turned to see a redhead on crutches.
"What about you?! You are weak! Look at you! On crutches. And why? Because you got hit by one bullet?"
"I outta see you get hit with a bullet…" She said in a low whisper.
"What was that?" Sword drawn and at her neck.
"Wufei!" Noin was at the end of the hall.
"Don't try to stop me. That other onna is not with you." Wufei pressed a little harder on her throat. But either way, she walked closer until she was standing next to Mariemaia.
"I'm sure she wouldn't want to hear about this." Noin's voice was harsh and her eyes narrowed. Wufei, likewise, did the same thing.
"She's not gonna find out!" They both leaned in close.
"Ooo, look at that! The passion, the angst!" Mariemaia watched. The two adults caught themselves. They stood up and turned their backs on each other. "Aww, no fun." Mariemaia got up and left.
'Why is my heart beating so quick? Was it the fault of that onna?' Wufei questioned himself.
'Damn, what was that?' Noin was also questioning herself. They stood there thinking, until Lady Une yelled at them for slacking off.
"Hey you two! I don't pay you guys to stand there and fight and do nothing! Get back to work or something. And Noin."
"Yes, ma'am?" Noin was fully attentive.
"Mariemaia is with you?" Lady Une asked from the 'motherly' side of her, that is if she has one. Can never tell with her and her personalities.
"I think she's with Sally."
"Good. Wufei?" Wufei looked up at his superior. "Stay away from Mariemaia." Lady Une left while Noin giggled and Wufei nearly facevaulted.
"Why did she tell me that?! I can handle and take of a child! That is menial work to Chang Wufei! But that work is suited for weaklings and women and such." He had a cocky look on his face.
"Uh huh, sure. She just knows about your grudge against the girl." Noin pointed out the obvious.
"GRUDGE?! What grudge?!" Wufei demanded to know.
"Well, how she, rather her employees, manipulated you to work for her, et cetera." Noin trailed off.
"I was not manipulated! And certainly not by the likes of her! I'm strong enough not to let that happen to me!" Wufei tried to disprove Noin.
"Stop trying to prove me wrong!" She looked at him. He had finally grown and inch or two over the past few years. "Go back to work like Une said!" Wufei grumbled at the order and went back to his office, but not before Noin mumbled 'whipped' underneath her breath.
"I think Miss Noin and Wufei have something going on between each other." Mariemaia said with a big smile. Sally nearly choked on her sandwich laughing. "What?"
"Noin? And Wufei?! Ahahahahahaha!!! That's like vinegar on a cracker!" Sally was laughing hysterically. "I wonder who the vinegar is." She said sarcastically and rolling her eyes. She wiped a tear from her eye and took in a deep breath to calm herself down. Noin walked into Sally's office to finish her lunch.
"What's so funny?" Sally saw Noin standing beside her desk.
"Well, Mariemaia had this crazy notion that you and Wufei have something going on between each other." Sally was trying to keep a straight face. Noin blushed slightly.
"Haha, that is a crazy idea!" Noin sat down. 'If it's such a crazy idea, why do you get nervous and mean around him?' A voice inside her head asked. She let the matter off and enjoyed what was left of her break.
