Rosati-Kain 4
By: Axisor
Hello! Here is the next part of Rosati-Kain. I hope you enjoy the fic... and please give me ideas for more evil... I mean... ah... funny--yeah, that's a good word-- things to do to the Gundam characters.
_OH_--To quote (so you who Have-Yet-To-Read my Trevor Yuy Fic won't be confused) a part of Trevor Yuy 3:
[Heero] held the little critter so that Trowa could see it. It was basically all black except that it had a white nose, the tip of the tail, front paws and a spot on the belly. This little kitten, for there was no doubt in Trowa's mind that's what it was, clinging to Trevor as if he was the only thing in the world that could keep him safe.
So that's what this OC looks like. Now you all can proceed to read and enjoy and review without being totally lost.
I still own nothing but the OC... well I got a Heavyarms action-figure for Christmas... but that doesn't really count, and the school exists but it still isn't mine either. I also own the rights to the OP (Original Product) of Glucose-High! cereal.
********************************************************
"That was _not_ a fun night," Duo said between yawns the next morning as he poured a huge bowl of his cereal, Glucose-High!, and with only a half second of hesitation, he added sugar to his sugarcoated sugary cereal. Wufei had 2 bowls like that once and was on a sugar rush for at least 12 hours. Duo hoped this would keep him awake until mod E.
Both Trowa and Wufei were about half done with their 2nd jumbo cup of coffee, which is remarkable since the stuff tasted worse than molten Gundanium and was about as thick. They grunted their agreement.
Heero acknowledged Duo's remark by raising his eyes from his food to give Duo a DeathGlare, only with his eyes just short of totally blood shot it was more like 'I'll-torture-you-30+-ways-before-I-even-think-of-letting-you-die' Glare.
They hadn't had the opportunity to get anywhere near their on-base bunks after arriving until about 3 and the current time was 5:20. Good thing they managed to have zero homework since Lady Une managed to make them spend about 13 hours straight on their Gundam designs, specs, modifications lists, modification descriptions... basically you name it, they worked on it. The finish date was bumped up considerably due to civilians investigating too much. She also forced the boys to create plans incase the project needed to be scale back and the "models" not made to life size. Finally, after calculating and processing data, running simulations, altering sequences, programs and scales and several large doses of caffeine, Heero and the other pilots (thinking in their exhausted states of a career change) set their packets on Sally's desk at 2:55 and crawled to their beds. Each was out like a light and even the security alarms/sirens would not have stirred them a little (let alone Trevor cuddling with Heero).
What did wake them were the very devilish Noin, Sally, and Zechs. To start off with, the three were "considerate" enough to find out if their dear friends' school was open despite the 6-7 inches of the white stuff on the ground above them (the Preventers' base was hidden under a "demilitarized" base, also part of the cover). They then took it upon themselves to inform the boys of the discovery. They entered the good sized quarters solely marked off for the boys when they had to stay in the barracks, opposed to the "Gundam House" a.k.a. the local Winner Mansion, and Zechs brought out a gun.
He aimed at the sleeping Heero and Trevor (one of the few pets allowed on base and _only_ because he's Heero's), cocked it, pulled back the trigger, and fired.... a straight stream of water right into Heero's eyes (which ricocheted off into Trevor's face to create a very _pissed_ wet cat). Trevor lunged at Zechs' face. Around the mass of flying-fur, he saw Heero bolt up as he whipped a gun out from under his pillow to level it at the Lighting Count's heart.
"Trevor--back," Heero said through clenched teeth. The cat leaped off of Zechs's slightly scratched up face to sit next to his master, Heero (it figures he'd out-stubborn a cat and train it; Trevor--The Perfect Soldier's Perfect Cat). "What do you need...Zechs?"
"You need to go to school. We woke you up to make sure you had _plenty_ of time to get to school." He said, trying not to be too obvious about watching the barrel of the gun.
"What... time... is... it?"
"5 AM." CLICK! Heero cocked the gun. "Oh-- and your welcome" and in a quick movement, turned on the light (momentarily blinding Heero) and disarmed him.
Heero grunted, dropped a few expletives, then said, "I'll get Duo up... you have to know how." He took his pillow, whipped at the body below him, and hit the face. A stuffed lion flew up in the air and hooked to hit Heero's face. He looked at the lion, contemplated it, and then asked to _no_one_ in particular, "Duo isn't in the bunk below me, is he? That's Trowa down there, isn't it?"
Bemusement crossed Zechs's face. "Right, Duo's over there," he said pointing to Trowa's bunk where Noin was fruitlessly trying to wake both Quatre and Duo up.
"Fine. Trowa--" moan of recognition from below "--if you want to see Leon again, get your ass up now." It was _too_ early for "proper" communication. As Heero felt the bunk shift beneath him, he yelled, "Noin, move" giving her just enough of a clue so the pillow thrown Frisbee-style sailed through where she just was to hit Duo squarely in the face.
Duo wrapped his arms tightly around Heero's pillow and rolled over. Zechs almost told Heero his mission failed but Heero said, "Duo-- did you call Hilde?"
"Yeah... 'bout what?" The 80-90% asleep Duo said.
"About how you had to work. Did you tell her you couldn't make the date?"
"Yeah, I did... NOT!!! Insert your favorite 4-letter words here" He bolted straight up. KLONK! His head contacted with the bottom of Quatre's bed. Insert more "happy phrases" Duo swung around to get up __KLONK!!!__ As he rubbed his aching head, Now he was "practicing his French" he raced to the desk phone to begin dialing furiously.
"Duo-- it's just after 5. She'd hate you even more if you woke her up now."
"5!?!?!? The real Shinigami would have more pity on us then that!" The now temporarily fully-awake Duo exclaimed. He hung up and collapsed in the desk's chair.
All the commotion of waking Trowa and Duo up (especially his bed suddenly moving beneath him... twice) woke Quatre up. He sat up and rubbed his bleary eyes with a yawn.
Sally went over to the bunk with only one occupant... Wufei. She sat on his bed's edge and looked at the last slumbering boy, figuring out how to wake him up. She started to move stray hair off his face (his hair was out of the ponytail) and commented, "You do look feminine with your hair down, Wufei."
Without opening his eyes, Wufei grabbed Sally's wrist while grunting: "Leave me alone, woman, and take back that insult!" Then the Lone Dragon let go, rolled over, and snuggled up with his pillow.
Everyone in the room who saw Sally's face (and was awake enough to register it's meaning) worried... for Wufei's sake since he DEFINITELY didn't see the super-devilish look. "Oh, my poor strong Wufei," the doctor began, getting off his bed. "I'll tell the school a little snow and lack of sleep is keeping one of their new strong boys in bed... if they say it's a _weak_ excuse or something they'd expect from one of the _girls_..." Sally shrugged. "Although... don't you think it's _unjust_ of you to stay in bed when the others, who are--"
"FINE! I'm getting up!" Wufei said as he flung his blankets across the room.
All the boys had removed their jackets of their Preventers' uniform before they had gone to sleep (because the pins and medals poking them in the middle of their two hours would have woken them up). They put on their jackets and headed to the mess hall (except Quatre who stayed behind to take a shower) and got breakfast.
The few other soldiers in the mess gave the boys sympathetic looks (just about everyone knew what kind of night the boys had pulled). No one was willing to approach them, though, since they held enough rank to sentence them to a month of KP and latrine cleaning without going through any of the soldier's superiors!
Well, almost no one. One man was willing, but after Quatre showed up with his Preventers jacket on over his RK uniform (well, actually it was Wufei's polo but because everyone switched shirts to look like they had _actually_ gone home. The base washed the uniforms for them). Duo went to take his shower (but he regretted going then when he found out happened) and the 2 coffee drinkers were refilling their cups. An "unthreatening" Heero looked asleep in the corner.
The man came over stammering about the RK uniform, a base lockdown with only "high-rankers like you" being allowed to even call off the base, and his daughter "Lindsey." Heero, who was _not_ asleep, finally growled, "Out with it all ready!" The man blubbered it was his daughter's birthday and asked Quatre to put a birthday card in her locker at school. Quatre agreed and the man started to walk away, notably more relaxed.
Heero tapped the table in front of him and Trevor obediently leapt up to the tabletop. The soldier stopped in mid-stride to stare at the black and white beast. He blinked a few times to make sure he was seeing what he was seeing. He pivoted to face Heero head on and said, "E... excuse me? Sir? Um... p... personal pets aren't allowed on base..." Heero looked up from stroking Trevor and shared the new DeathGlare with him.
Give the man a medal! He managed to keep his wits (sort of--better than most would have anyway) even when Heero intensified the Glare. In reality, the only thing keeping the man going was the fact he wasn't going to back down from some kid about the same age as his daughter. "A-according to regulation 9 article 27B, sub-paragraph C..." Then he proceeded to quote the rule against pets... or started to.
He wasn't planning on backing down until he saw the Glare at 90+ ways and Heero firmly said, "Noted. DIS-missed, soldier!" therefore adding rank too to his attempt to stop the man. The man paled past white (he had temporarily forgotten who he was talking to and now suddenly remembered) saluted, and made a record-breaking retreat to the other side of the mess hall and out those doors to the hallway.
"What a weakling," Wufei muttered as he and Trowa returned... until he saw Heero's look and silently asked Nataku for strength.
"He is right, Heero," Trowa said then took a deep drink of the scorching liquid. "You only have permission to keep Trevor in our quarters." Again Trowa used the black "beverage" to distract him from Heero's look.
"Heero," Quatre started gently-- but lucky for him Trevor had started softening Heero back up again or else Heero's previous look would have dissolved the heir. "Remember what happened last time Trevor came across the security dogs?"
"Out of cat food. Needed to feed the little beast." Heero replied sharply and put a plate with bacon, cheese, and egg yoke in front of Trevor. Heero's lack of sleep caused him to act childish suddenly... like a brick to the head.
"Heero..."
"We won't come across security dogs. If we do I'll keep Trevor away from them."
"Good," Duo said coming up braiding the last of his hair. "The trainers still haven't got Killer and Fang to stop bolting for their kennels whenever they see a cat. So... who's up for a shower?"
"I am," Trowa said getting up.
"Okay... Oh, yeah. Sally and Zechs said people could use their showers."
"I'll use Sally's," Wufei said without hesitation, leaving Heero with Zechs' shower and Quatre to explain to Duo everything he missed. Heero took Trevor in his right hand and the plate in his left before heading off to the shower.
Once they were all done and dressed from their showers it was 6 AM and all the G-boys plus Noin, Zechs, and Sally were in the Gundam Quarters. "I can take you as far as the next station in my truck," Sally said as everyone started packing up for school. The airport on top was closed "due to snow" (they needed the "demilitarized" base closed to work on the Gundams faster) to the public and no one was suppose to got the base.... so the train station there was also closed... making it all the more difficult for the boys to get to school. "But some of you will have to ride in the back."
"It beats walking to the station!" Duo said for everyone. So they grabbed their numerous bags and filed out to the truck... and spent about 10 minutes shoveling out the truck bed. Finally, when empty enough to throw a tarp over the rest of it Trowa, Duo, and Heero got in the back with all the bags.
"FFFRRRREEEEEEZZZZIIIINNNNGGGGG..." Duo's teeth chattered as they sat down.
"Zip up your coat. Those things kept us warm in the Antarctic... It should keep you warm here." Trowa said as he tightened his gloves.
A little later, the now warm Duo was trying to strike up conversation, to keep from falling asleep. "So... Heero. Why so many bags?" Glare. Duo shrugged it off. "That one is your backpack, and that's your laptop. That is the duffel with the stuff we all want to bring back to the House, but what's this small duffel attached to your backpack?" Duo said, tapping the bag with his foot.
Suddenly, the little duffel JUMPED at Duo's foot and hissed. Heero just leaned over to right the bag like nothing happened. When Duo moved to open the bag (from "behind" it), Heero grabbed Duo's braid, yanked back, and said, "Leave it or get shaved--bald!" Duo pouted and petted his poor beat up, picked on braid.
Trowa just leaned back against the truck window with his yes closed. "Heero, why did you bring Trevor with you to school?"
"We are not going back to the base for at least 24 hours and I'm not leaving Trevor alone there for that long." Heero said as he calmed the riled up bag.
"You could have left him with Noin, Sally, Lady Une or even Zechs. You know Relena wouldn't let him hurt Trevor," Trowa said as he stretched and tried to tease his now frozen bangs out to their usual height and shape.
"He would have escaped from any of them and then where would I be?"
"Looking to buy a new batch of base dogs!" Duo said laughing at the memory of the current dogs bleeding and cowering away from Trevor after they tried to pick on the cat less than 20% their size. "I don't think they would ever make decent any-type dog after crossing Trevor's path again. Well... maybe pet dogs but..."
"Exactly. Besides, he'll only be at school until one of the Maguanacs comes to get the other duffel." Heero kicked at that bag as if to prove that it was animal-less. Once they reached the station, they unloaded, made sure "work" ID's were visible (granting them free travel thanks to Heero) and boarded the next train going toward their school. Heero worked diligently on his laptop while Quatre talked to Rashid on the phone. Trowa and Wufei stood silently, lost in their own thoughts, while Duo fell against something with every jolt of the train.
They reached their stop at about 6:45 with Duo grunting abut being so ahead of schedule (school starts at 8:05 to 8:10, depending when they remember to ring the bell, and all that was left was a 15 minute bus ride). When they arrived at school a little after 7, they went to the café like good little students should before the rest of school was open. Duo managed to get Quatre's phone and hid behind their many bags to use it.
"Hilde-- Hilde-- Hilde-babe! I'm at school... yes I-- I tried. I TRIED!! I would have... I would-- HOW WAS I SUPPOSE TO KNOW I'D WORK _ALL_ NIGHT?!?!?!? Sorry... Heero woke me up at the ungodly hour of 5... yes all night. We didn't get back to quarters until 3... Yeah... that's a girl laughing behind me... I'm at school Hilde... um... well... um, you see, Wufei goofed and-- all girls... Hilde!! Hilde? Hello... Hilde? She... hung up... on... me..." the shocked, almost deaf, Duo hung up and handed Quatre the phone.
Meanwhile, Wufei was trying to figure out what "Early Bird Math" was. Finally, the depressed Duo got tired of Wufei's muttering, stood up on a chair, and yelled, "DOES ANYONE KNOW WHAT 'EARLY BIRD MATH' IS?"
Silence came to the café as girls looked at each other surprised about the sudden question (and that the boys had returned!). "Well?" The girls were still shocked. Duo got off the chair saying, "I guess they don't know either Wufei..."
One little --well actually she was quite tall-- freshman came over, leaned against the post, and said, "Your group came back? Brave... I think Early Bird starts in about... 2 minutes, at 15. My sister takes it too, so you better hurry if you don't want to be late."
"Yeah Wufei! You better hurry... tardiness is a sign of weakness..." Duo said, looking for something to take his mind off of Hilde. As Wufei got up and put on his backpack he "accidentally" THWACKED! Duo in the back of the head before he jogged off to find 25.
Quatre smiled in thanks to the freshman then laughed at the "DeathGlare" Duo shot at Wufei's retreating form. His phone danced across the table and he answered it. He said, "Yes. This is Quatre," and listened for about 3 minutes and hung up without a word.
Trowa and Duo (Heero had mysteriously disappeared again) stared anxiously (well, only Duo because Trowa doesn't really "do that kind of thing") at Quatre. Finally, not being able to stand it anymore, Duo "calmly" said, "WELL?!?!?!"
"The stock market's already acting funny this morning..." Then he put the phone away and sighed. "Oh, and Rashid said that it's snowed about a foot and a half in Pevely. Snow plows are having terrible trouble with it too."
"So?" the forgotten freshman asked.
"OH... we live in Unincorporated North Pevely and so he'll have trouble getting up here."
"Wait... you left home and got here and since then it's snowed a foot and a half? I know Pevely is a way out there but..."
"We didn't--"
Trowa's hands quickly covered Duo's mouth and silenced him (they don't call him 'the Silencer' for nothing, you know). "It's really complicated... and hard to explain."
"OH! I get it... just because I'm a freshman doesn't mean I can't understand stuff," she said then stamped away in a huff.
Heero came in as she left with his computer slung over his shoulder and some manila envelopes in his hand. He gave the girl a dubious look. He silently sat down on the table, checking on his little bag. "Wufei went to class." Trowa said letting Duo go.
"I saw him. He slipped as he ran up the stairs."
"HE SLIPPED?!?!?!" Duo couldn't believe it and doubled over laughing, momentarily forgetting about Hilde to amuse himself with the mental image of Wufei bouncing down the stairs. The other 3 boys knew Wufei would never live it down.
"Yeah and muttered stuff not to be repeated even without ladies present" Heero said as he finished his check on the small duffel and set his computer bag and envelopes down.
"Oh... Heero. Something's come up..." Trowa started and received a glare (just _a_ glare and not _the_ Glare)
Duo shakily said, "A complication... with picking up the duffels..."
Quatre, not knowing what the deal was said, "Rashid has to rewire some MS's to be snowplows and shovels before the Maguanacs can even start shoveling the driveway. He said that we'd be lucky if they could get here in time to pick us up to go home. I don't know why those two are making such a big deal about it."
"WHAT?" Heero said, uncharacteristically surprised.
"The... bags... aren't..."
Then the Glare came... "DUO! I know what he said. The exclamation was of surprise..." Heero growled at his friend, "This news was VERY unexpected."
"So... what are you going to do about Trevor?" Trowa asked.
"TREVOR? What does he have to do with anything?" Quatre said, who was unaware of the feline's close proximity.
"He's heeeeeere..." Duo said quietly like an old scary movie.
"I think... It's time for plan B."
"What's plan B?"
"I don't know yet." Heero then took his computer, envelopes, small duffel, and everything else as he rushed off to enter the locked school.....
********************************************************
WHAT IS PLAN B??????? What do you think it is? Give me some ideas.... tell me more ways to torture... err... um... nope can't think of a better word than torture to describe what I'm slowly putting these boys through.
****_IDEAS_AND_FEED_BACK_ARE_GREATLY_APPRECIATED!!!!*****
I'll give you credit, like a lot of this was Cyberwolf (go read her Alternatives next.... they're awesome and a link to her works are conveniently located under my favorite authors). It's because of Cyberwolf and Sailor_Silver_Moon (and my friend Yoko at school) that I'm getting this out now instead of on the 23rd... a very glorious day I must say... um... yeah R&R... No questions for you besides:
"What do _YOU_ think should happen?"
