chapter 4-stowaway.

"My name is Louisa Mauve." she stuck a hand out of the blue comforter and held it out to the blonde, "What's your name?"

The five boys looked at each other. "I told her my name." Duo offered and the blonde shrugged.

"Quatre Winner. It's a pleasure to meet you miss Mauve."

She looked at him, a confused look covering her face in the half light of the night before her face erupted into shock. "Oh my God!!! The Quatre Winner!?!"

"So you know my name?" Quatre asked calmly, never once breaking eye contact with Louisa.

"….Yeah. It's the….uhh...I don't know how actually….all I know is I've heard that name and that it means big money….well not literally….but you know what I mean…"

"Why so many pauses?" This coming from the boy standing slightly behind Quatre. He wore black shorts and a green tank top with dark messy hair.

"Cause I didn't know what to say. That's why." Louisa told the boy.

"Hn."

The boy was going to be problem to my secret, Louisa thought to herself. She wasn't going to let him bully her like that. She'd dealt with plenty of boys like him before.

"Heero, leave her alone; At least until morning. Duo, you'll watch her during the night. We're all going to go to bed. Sleep well, miss Mauve." Quatre gave her a meaningful look and herded his friends to their rooms leaving Duo in the living room with her.

Duo leaned back against the table, crossing his arms as Louisa sat on the couch, still wrapped in the blue comforter and yawned. "Louisa, you're hiding a secret. More then just your name."

She didn't grace him with an answer.

"Answer me. I asked you a question."

"Actually it was just a statement. It wasn't a question." Louisa told him as she turned and faced the couch, laying down again. She needed sleep if she was going to deal with these boys. One suspected her, another pretty much knew her, and the one standing in the small kitchen behind her right now watching her sleep or try to at least. She heard him shift his weight to lean against the table.

"Why did Quatre give you such a calculating look?" Duo asked from the darkness in the kitchen.

"You noticed that…hmm. Well, I'm sorry, but I can't tell you that." And she turned her back to go back to sleep. He didn't say anything the rest of the night and she slept a comfortable night on the couch with a nice big slightly fluffy blue comforter. It was better then she was used to at the apartment she shared with her room mate. In the morning, she woke up to quiet whispering in the kitchen and a smell she hadn't smelt in years.

"What do you know about her that we don't?"

"I don't know. It just seems like I've seen her before."

"So, that look was clearly a "déjà vu" look?"

"Yeah. What's that smell?"

"it smells like…..-Damnit!!! I burnt the bacon!!"

A new voice, and someone walking into the kitchen drifted across Louisa's ears. "Maxwell, how exactly do you burn bacon when you're standing right next to it? Oh, and by the way, our resident hostage is awake."

Suddenly, the blanket was ripped off her body, causing the cold air to penetrate her body through her clothes. She turned her head, and witnessed the blanket being taken farther out of her reach by the brown haired, green tank topped guy who wouldn't let her pee in peace last night. Speaking of peeing…

"Where is the bathroom?" All eyes, now five pairs, turned toward her. Three had just gotten their cups of coffee, two were trying to figure out how to salvage the bacon. She looked at the bacon, and her mouth began to water. Then she saw the black haired boy with a cup raised to his lips, watching her, as they all silently looked at each other to see who wasn't doing the most and could therefore do pee guard duty. Her eyes were riveted to the tea bag settling against his fingers.

He noticed and asked her, "You act like you haven't seen a cup of tea in years. Why are you watching me drink my tea like I'm holding back the most precious thing to you? Can't your parents buy you tea?"

She broke out of her temporary hypnosis long enough to answer, " Well, first of all, I don't live with my parents. Second, I live with my room mate, away from her parents, alone. Third, we only buy the essentials for our extremely small apartment. We don't have a lot. Maybe three lights, a few candles where they're needed; the cheap kind, and two blankets. I can't tell you the last time I had two different kinds of meat in the same week. And to answer your question, the last time I had a cup of tea, was the last day I was with my family eight years ago. Now, can I please have a piece of that bacon, it looks really good."

Duo looked at her and shrugged, "It's burnt but yeah. Go right ahead." He held out the plate and she got up off the couch to grab three pieces and, in plain and simple words, inhale them. It was in her hand one second and in her mouth the next. Duo stared at her in shock. "Hungry??"

"Yeah…"she said, "Can I go to the bathroom now?"

"Uhh, yeah. The bathroom is this way." Duo lead her down the hall. He stood outside the bathroom as she relieved herself and lead her back into the kitchen where a cup of tea was thrust upon her. It was handed to her by the black haired boy.

"My name is Wufei Chang." he said, "I took the liberty of reheating the water and getting you a cup of tea. How do you like your tea?"

"Two sugars and milk, please." Louisa said as the other four boys sat down and the sugar and milk was deposited in front of her. Uh oh, she thought, why are they all looking at me like that?

"It's time to finally find out a few things about you." Quatre said, acting as the head talker, she supposed. "We just have a few questions to ask you, just to acquaint ourselves with you. Just have in mind, that if you lie, we will know or we will find out."

"Ok. Ask what you want. And I'll answer the best I can." Louisa swallowed, and took a deep breath. She just hoped she didn't screw up and reveal anything that was too important. She couldn't let her secret out. At least not after eight years. Nobody could know who she was unless she willed it so.
