Chapter 6- Asking
I hadn't gotten any new orders from my uncle when I checked my lap top before I went to bed that night so I figured that he was asleep already. Right now I was in the kitchen making some instant mashed potatoes.
"Any new orders from your uncle?" Hiiros voice asked from the doorway.
"Iie. He was lazy or tired from his trip and he went to bed early." I replied.
"It's only 9:30." Hiiro said raising an eyebrow.
"And he's only 49." I said sitting down with a bowl full of mashed potatoes. "Help yourself to some if you want, Hiiro." I said. I saw his walk to the pan out of the corner of my eye and then I thought, 'what is my new mission going to be? I like it here with the guys, it's a lot less lonely... wait a minute I'm supposed to like being alone. Aren't I? It's cool hanging out with Hiiro, he's a lot like myself, yet he doesn't know it.' We both sat there in our silence and just continued to eat. 'Am I going to have to leave here? What do I say to my uncle? 'Hey, I just want to stay here and live with five guys, I hope you don't mind!'' I rolled my eyes and chuckled a bit.
"What's so funny?" Hiiro asked in that annoyed tone of his. I gave him that look again.
"I was just thinking of something funny. That's all." I retorted. I got up and put my bowl in the sink and rinsed it out, "Night, Hiiro." I walked up the stairs to go to bed.
~One month later~ (AN: ^_^; Teehee.)
I was still with the guys since my uncle hadn't given me new orders yet. I looked up at my wall at the framed article with the headline "Ririna Peacecraft found dead in Club bombing" I really liked that article. For the month and a half that I'd been living with the guys, Hiiro hadn't had anymore bad dreams, I beat Wufei many times in wrestling and sword play, and Trowa and Quatre were teaching me how to play the clarinet. Duo went on getting yelled at by me for snooping around in my room. I turned my head towards my lap top at the sound of me having mail. 'Finally, orders from uncle.' I thought as I sat down and opened up the email. It read:
Dear Tsuki,
I've read about you and your accomplishments with your Gundam and the way you've handled yourself. I am no stranger to you, you know me well. Almost as well as I know you. If you want to know who I am, meet me at the Warf in an hour. Bring anyone you like.
-Nohbdy
"Okay, why and how does someone know of my Gundam and me? And just why would they use the name 'Nohbdy' isn't that from that story "The Odyssey"?" I said to myself aloud. 'I better check it out just in case, I don't want anyone to know of my Gundam.' I got into my clothes that I had worn the first day I'd gotten to the place and walked downstairs.
"Whoa. Where are we off to?" Duo said with a whistle. I smacked him upside the head.
"Where's Hiiro?" I asked. Duo rubbed his head and looked up at me.
"He left about an hour ago. Who knows to where. Why?"
"I thought he might want to go to see my uncle with me, but that's okay. I want some alone time. Bye." I said walking out the door and towards the Warf. 'Ohh, this better not be some weirdo out to kill me for getting that onore Ririna.' I thought as I rounded the corner of the Warf. I stopped dead in my tracks, 'what the hell is Hiiro doing here?' I asked myself then continued to walk so I could ask him that very question. "Yo, Hiiro, what are you doing out here?" I asked.
"Thinking and waiting." He replied in a low voice.
"About?" I asked leaning my forearms on the railing and looking out at the sky.
"Thinking about when I will get a new mission. And waiting for it." He answered.
"Hm, so I'm not the only one that hasn't gotten a mission. Maybe it's because when Ririna was killed and OZ fell there's been no need for us and our Gundams." I said.
"If we don't need to fight anymore, what are we to do?"
"Well, I'm sure that we can find something. No one just has one talent." I replied.
"Except for me. I was born to fight and that's all I know how to do." Hiiro said, looking down, "I never have had the chance for a real life."
I rolled my eyes and smacked him upside the head.
"Hey, what the?" He yelled at me.
"Well, someone had to knock some damn sense into you! You do have other talents! I've seen, no, I've *heard* you singing." I yelled back. His face when ashen, and his eyes widened. (AN: Lol, Hiiro singing? XD Damn, I kill myself.)
"You have?" He sputtered.
"Hai. One good thing to being a girl. No one knows that your around when you think you're all alone." I said.
He raised his eyebrow again, and looked at me with a quirky smile playing on the corner of his mouth.
"Nope. Don't smile, it's against your rules." I said with a grin that made him break out into an all out smile.
"What do you think you'll do? And what about the guys?" Hiiro asked me.
"Well, I don't know for sure about me, but I've got some ideas. And the guys... well, I think they will find something to do with themselves." I said turning around to look at the residential areas. I knew now that it was Hiiro that had sent the email. "Whatever it is, I hope they love it."

END! Okay, I know, crappy ending, but it's a cute one at that. So anyway, buh-bye!
