Learning To Trust
A/n: I got board over the summer and figured I would write this story. I don't know what else to say so on with the Disclaimer. (PS: R/R!!!!!!)
Disclaimer: I don't own any of the Gundam Characters so don't sue. I only own Kody. :)
CHAPTER 1A thin, frail figure dropped to her knees as her cell door slammed shut. She pulled herself up and laid down on her cot. She looked up to see Dr. J looking in on her.
"You worthless piece of trash," he said and turned away. Kody sighed and closed her eyes.
Dr. J walked down the hall and into the main room where the other doctors waited.
"Her training is coming along." Doctor S said as he looked through some readouts.
"She'll be just like Heero." Professor G put in.
"Where will we send her?" Dr. J asked.
"Heero would be good for her. The other pilots can keep an eye on her." They all nodded their agreement and Doctor S sat down and sent an E-mail to Duo.
~*Safe House*~
Quatre glanced down at the sound of a beep on Duo's computer then looked at Duo.
"Duo! You've got mail!" Duo came bouncing into the room and flopped down in a chair.
"All right, who gave the baka candy?" Wufei grumbled.
"Hey! We got a new room mate coming." Duo chirped up.
"Who is it?" Trowa questioned.
"Kody Yuu."
Heero moved over to the computer and looked over Duo's shoulder.
I know her, he thought. She was at the doctors' with me.
~*Flash Back*~
Heero walked through the halls and stopped outside of the training room. Dr. J had called him from L3 to help train a new student. He looked inside the room and saw a 13-year-old girl stretching. He was only one year older, but he was much taller than her.
Dr. J opened the door and Heero walked in. The girl looked up.
"Kody, this is Heero. He will be your sparing partner today." Dr. J informed her. She nodded her hello to Heero then went back to stretching. She shook out her hands and stood ready.
Dr. J turned to leave the floor and mumbled to Heero.
"Don't go easy on her."
Dr. G gave the signal and Kody came forward with a punch. Heero blocked with ease and followed with an upper cut that Kody dodged. This sparring round continued for an hour until…
Heero dropped to the ground and round housed kicked her knee and tripped her up. She rolled over and stood up. Heero caught her off guard and got a blow to her jaw and got her down on her back and pinned her down. Kody tried to bring her knee up in his gut, but he was straddling her and pinned her entire body.
Kody glared up at him as Dr. G. called time. Heero let her up and looked at Dr. J who gave him an approving glance. Kody had her head down and knew what was coming. Dr. J brought his fist down hard on her jaw and knocked her to the ground.
"You failed. Dr. O. will have to handle you."
Heero saw the look of horror in her eyes before it quickly disappeared and in a small part of his heart…he felt sorry for her.
~*End Flash Back*~
"Do you know her Heero?" Quatre asked.
"The doctors had me help train her a few times."
"Well, she will be here tomorrow morning."
"Mission Accepted."
~*Next Morning*~
The five pilots stood outside of the hanger waiting for Kody to arrive. A speck of light was growing close.
"There she is!" Duo cried.
A red, white, gray, black and blue Gundam drew closed and landed in the hanger. The suit shut down and the cockpit opened. A pilot in a pure red suit stepped out and removed her helmet. She threw the helmet into the suit and jumped down from the Gundam.
She approached, a bag over her shoulder.
"My name is Kody Yuu. It's a pleasure," she said in an emotionless voice.
"She's worse than Heero," Duo mumbled to Quatre.
"Hello, Kody. I'm Quatre. This is Duo, Trowa, Wufei and Heero." Kody nodded her hellos then looked at Heero.
"It's been a while Heero." He nodded.
"I'll show you to your room" Duo said and led her up the stairs and opened a door for her. "This is it." He smiled and walked into the room after her.
"Thank you, Duo."
"You're welcome. Well, I'll let you unpack. Dinner is in twenty minutes. I'm sure you'll love it here." With that Duo left her to unpack, which didn't take long since she only had some clothes.
~*At Dinner*~
Kody sat quietly while the other pilots talked about their last mission.
"Who wants dessert?" Duo asked. Most everyone answered.
"Who would eat anything that braided baka made?" Kody let a grin slip onto her lips. She whipped it off, but not before the five pilots saw it. She remained quiet with her head down. Duo put a piece of cake in front of her.
"I…I can't have cake…the doctors…they'll get mad and send me to Master O again." Kody glanced up.
"The doctors aren't here. They wont be able to punish you." Duo said. Kody looked at the cake then picked up her fork and got the smallest bit of cake on her fork and ate it slowly. "There, that wasn't so hard."
Kody was quiet while they talked until Quatre asked her a question.
"So what is wrong with Master O?"
"N…nothing."
"He was the one the trained Wu-man…" Duo put in. "What's he got to do with you?"
"Nothing." She stood. "If you'll excuse me. I would like to go to my room." With that Kody left the room.
Quatre looked at Heero who seemed lost in thought.
"What are you thinking about?"
"I'm trying to remember what they used Master O for on me."
"Well…?" Duo prompted.
"He was used to punish me. If I did something wrong he beat me."
"Do you think that's what they did to Kody?" Quatre asked worried.
"She doesn't have and bruises and such. I think he did something else."
"Like what?" Duo asked.
"Rape."
~*Up Stairs*~
Kody laid on her new bed staring at the ceiling.
At least these pilots are nice. She smiled and closed her eyes drifting into a dreamless sleep.
Kody's door opened and Wufei stood there looking at her. Duo came up behind him.
"What are you doing, Wufei?"
"She doesn't seem so...fragile when she's awake, but when she sleeps she's like every other woman. Just as frail and beautiful." Wufei turned from the room and left. Duo, however stepped into the room. He walked over to the bedside and got a blanket and covered her up.
"Good night," he whispered and stood up. He walked to the door and shut it quietly and came face to face with Heero.
"What was that about?"
"Nothing. I didn't want her to get cold," he explained.
"What ever you say, Duo."
"Grow up, Heero."
"After you."
"I don't know what you're talking about. She just got here today." Duo rolled his eyes and turned and went to his room. Heero walked to his room and went in. He sat down at his computer and began to search for information on Kody Yuu.
The next morning Heero was still sitting at his computer.
~*Kody's Room*~
Kody opened her eyes slowly and looked around her room and saw a picture of the five guys standing around a Gundam. She smiled.
She stood and walked to the dresser. A card with her name on it sat there. Kody picked it up and opened it. It read:
Welcome to the gang, Kody!
Love,
Heero, Quatre, Duo, Trowa
and Wufei.
Kody sighed staring at the card. For the first time since she had gone into training she was happy.
