Guardian Angel 3

The woman turned and looked in my direction. Turning away quickly I nearly cracked my head on the book shelf. I heard muffled laughter. I turned and saw Sion covering his face with a book, but could tell he was laughing at me. I shook it off and put the book back on the shelf, and attempted to glance back up at where Hilde but I was met face to face with that same woman. "Hilde here tells me you're interested in a job here?" the woman asked. I took a step back so I wasn't staring into her chin, she was very tall.
"Yes ma'me, I am." I replied. Hilde gave me the victory sign behind her boss' back. "What can you do?" the woman queried. I smirked and replied, "Anything." She raised an eye brow and crossed her arm. "You seem very confident about that."
"Sion, Hilde, and you young man, follow me." She said, walking to where the boxes of books were. I looked at Hilde and Sion for an answer but they both shrugged. "Okay, tell me your name boy." The woman said. "Heero Yuy. And yours?" I asked, sticking my hand out.
She smiled and absorbed all the ass kissing. "My name is Kituki Okinawa. Nice to meet you Heero." She said, shaking my hand daintily. She turned and said, "Hold out your arms." I did. "Since all we have open for you now is a loader and un-loader, which is one of Sion's jobs, I want to see how much weight you can hold. These boxes are around fifteen pounds each. Start loading." Kituki said. Sion and Hilde starting loading boxes onto my arms. /This woman sure has a weird was of interviewing people./ I thought as the pile got higher.
"We're at about sixty pounds." Hilde informed. "Keep going." Kituki said, from her position next to me. "One twenty ma'me." Sion said in amazement.Hilde smirked and said, "You're gonna pop a vein Heero." Kituki nodded her head and said, "Okay, I've seen enough. When can you start?" I shrugged and felt my shoulder snap. "Hn…today. Tomorrow, when ever you need me." I said, hiding my pain. Hilde and Sion started to lift off the boxes and Kituki smiled and left the room. "Hey Heero, your shoulder looks like it's gonna snap any second. Gimme those." Sion said, reaching for the remaining boxes.
I handed them over then grabbed at my shoulder. "Oh Heero, do you want some ice?" Hilde asked. I shook my head and walked to a door way. "Not yet." I said, slamming my shoulder back into place. Hilde screamed and ran over to me. "Oh gods Heero are you okay?!" she excaimed. I smirked and replied, "I've been through a lot more than that Hilde. I'm fine." Sion watched me bug-eyed as I walked back into the store. "How'd he do that?" he asked Hilde quietly. "Long story." Hilde said.
Kituki smiled at me from her perch above the book store, which I assumed was where her office was. I smiled back. /I don't like the way she's looking at me…Hilde did say she liked guys with muscle…oh gods./ I walked back to where Hilde and Sion were. Can't lose track, remember your promise to Duo/. "Hey Heero, we get off soon. Why don't you guys come over my place and we can have a sleep over?" Hilde suggested with a glint in her eye that made me feel warm. "A sleep over? Heh, sounds like fun." Sion said. /I can watch her even closer now. Great./
"Might as well. I don't have anything better to do." I said finally. Hilde threw up her hands and smiled. "Great! But we have to go get some food cause the closest thing to food in my house is that scented soap." She said, poking my side. I don't know why, but Sion seemed like the kind of guy who would eat soap for a couple of bucks. Hilde went back to work and I had to help Sion unload the books and out them in their 'designated piles'. Fiction, romance etc. A book dropped on the floor and I bent down to get it. Much to my surprise I felt a hand smack my ass.
I bolted up right, eyes wide with horror. "Nice work Heero. Keep it up." Kituki's voice said, as she walked past me, swaying her hips. Sion snickered and once she was out of site he said, "Get used to it buddy. Every time a new guy comes she comes in, in come the v-neck sweaters and short skirts. Ass slapping is only half the battle." Oh, I wish a certain female employee would come in a miniskirt…fuckfuckfuckfuck! Stop it Heero! "My guess is she's single, lives in a two bedroom apartment and will do anything to get some." I replied, carrying the books out to the store.
"Yeah. That's my guess too. I draw the line at the casual-oops-my-hand-slipped-into-your-pants trick." Sion said, shuddering slightly. I winced at the thought. "And she's pulled that on you before?" Sion wrinkled his nose and nodded. "I totally flipped man. I don't remember much of what happened that day. Although Hilde's told me I hurled in the bath room for an hour." What was that? A 'chuckle' escaped from my lips. Hilde appeared behind us and grinned. "Oh yes, and she wanted to give you a sick leave so she could visit you again." She said with a snicker.
"Come on guys—works over, let's go get some food!" Hilde said, looping her arms through mine, and unfortunatly Sions. I watched their behavior very carefully while we were shopping. It was like they were brother and sister but…flirting. Hilde's casual slap on she shoulder, or hip bumps were occuring more. Hilde tossed me the keys and said, "Heero, go start up the car and bring it to the front." I tossed the keys to Sion and said, "I'm stronger and can carry more. You go." He looked at me quizically before nodding and running outside.
"So are you glad we're working together?" Hilde asked as we started grabbing bags of groceries. /Oh yes. Very glad./ "Of course. There's no one I'd rather work with than you." I teased. I grinned as Hilde bumped me with her hips. "Ah Heero. You smooth talker!" she said with a giggle. Sion hopped out of Hilde's SUV and went to help load the bags. "Hilde, how can you afford an SUV with our salery?" Sion asked in jealousy. "I don't know Sion—considering you have two jobs and I only have one." Hile replied with a smirk. /This is fun. Well whaddya know. The indestructible Heero Yuy is having fun. And he isn't blowing anything up!/
We climbed into Hilde's SUV and headed to Hilde's home. Once we got there, we began to put all the groceries away and stood in the kitchen. "So what do you guys want for dinner?" Hilde asked, leaning against the counter. Sion grinned and replied, "What ever you got." Hilde rolled her eyes and looked in the cabinets. "I know—we can have cold noodles with some italian dressing." She said, pulling out a box of noodles. "Cold noodles?" I asked. Hilde nodded and put a pot of water to boil. "Yes, cold noodles Heero. Amazing as it sounds, you can actually eat noodles cold!" Hilde said with a playful smile.
I snorted at her obvious attack to my intellegence.
"Hey now Hil, don't go messing with Heero now." Sion said sarcastically. Hilde giggled and wrapped her arms around my waist. "Aw, come on Heero, you know I'm only playing!" she said, tickling my stomach. I laughed and wriggled out of her grip. "Okay, okay. I believe you. So what are we going to do tonight?" I asked, leaning against the couch. Hilde picked up a t.v. guide and flipped through it. "Ooh a horror movie is on." She said in a murky-lurky voice. Sion's ice blue eyes lit up. "Can we make fun of it?" he asked excitedly.
Hilde grinned and said, "Sure! But first, I'm gonna take a shower, no peeking you too!" Although I can't actually see my own face, I knew it turned a shade of crimson, as did Sion's, who tried to cover it up by coughing. Hilde ran off to the bath room and slammed the door shut. "Heh. Crazy girl." Sion said, shaking his head. /This guy tries to be slick…/ "Yeah. Tell me about it." I replied, checking on the water. It was boiling so I threw the noodles in. [1] "Hey Heero, have you ever seen that movie 'Return to the Dead'?" Sion asked, flopping down on the couch.
"No. Why?" I asked, keeping an eye on the noodles. "It's one of the most cheesiest movies I've ever seen. It's like they took every horror movie and smushed it all together into two and a half hours of crap." He replied. I chuckled—damn that chuckle! "They tend to run out of ideas. There should be a horror movie about war. Two people trying to survive and stay together. It almost writes itself." Oops. Ah well, he might as well know I'm a Gundam pilot. "How do you know about war?" Sion asked.
I stirred the noodles and replied, "Cause I've been in them." Sion's eyes widened. There was a yell from the bathroom. "God dammit you stupid shampoo!!" I raised an eye brow at Hilde's strange behavior. She must have forgotten about Duo—or maybe she's just trying to disrtact herself from it by hanging out with us. "You've been in a war? Which one?" Sion asked, oblivious to the yells coming from the bathroom. I nodded and turned the heat down. "I was part of Operation Meteor, and the War with Mariemeya." I began. If he really wanted to know about war, I was planning on telling him
Hotaru
[1] Have I ever cooked noodles? Yes—do I remember how? No…I think Ming Tsai said you're not supposed to put in salt…or something like that…yeah.
