Chapter Four: Wrong Place, Wrong Time
Yaki's eyes fluttered open. He looked at a wooden ceiling with a fan in the middle of it, spinning so fast it was making him dizzy. A wet cloth went over his eyes and began to dab his forehead. He then recognized the face he'd seen before. Yaki then realized what had happened. From not eating and drinking for three days after a battle, he was tired, bruised and weak. He had been lucky this girl was around when he fainted.
But what if this girl was an enemy? What if she wanted to keep him? Or was it possible good Samaritan's roamed the earth today? He sat up quickly. Surprised by this, she grabbed a knife off the table and put it against hi troat. Yaki took this the wrong way.
The boy kicked her in the gut and jumped off the table. The girl put her knife in her mouth and grabbed his ankle. When he hit the ground, she turned his head sideways, sat on his back adn put her knife against his throat again.
"If you didn't want my help all you had to do was tell me. Oh wait! You were unconcious! How could I have known? I mean, its not like I saved your life or anything." she laughed.
"Huh?"
The girl laughed again and got off of Yaki. She realized he thought she was something else.He began to get off the floor and she grabbed his arm, pulling him to his feet.Yaki then realized he was only wearing his boxers. He ran to the medical bed, grabbed the sheet and wrapped it around his waist like a towel.
"Where are my pants!" he asked in sheer horror.
He found walking around topless was okay but topless and pantless as going to far. Her laughing stopped and she shrugged.
"I dunno. I dragged you here and my mother took care of you. She finally went to take care of the rest of my brothers and sisters, leaving me to care for you." she explained.
He was about to ask if she was in some sort fo forest tribe but then realized she was wearing jean shors, boots and a yellow tank top. He also noticed the very large hand gun strapped to her leg. He decided to ask a different question instead.
"Who are you and where am I?"
She smiled.
"My name's Kage! Call me Kay. Welcome to junk town USA! Actually we call it 'Pit Stop Heaven' or 'Truckville' but to everyone with a map the town's called Gold Forest. Though its anything but!"
"I'm Kagayaki Hogo or Yaki for short." he told her.
A woman walked into the room, carrying fresh clothes. She was tall and had long, dark hair and black eyes. She wore jeans and white shoes with a black turtle neck and white vest. She dropped the clothes into Yaki's hands. He looked at them.
Black pants, biker boots, a clean white shirt and a trenchcoat. He wondered where she'd got them but decided its better not to ask. The woman smiled at him.
"I'm Kay's mom. You can call me Mrs. Drakesen." she told him.
"Yaki." was the only thing he said.
"I'll leave you two. Kay, show the boy around the town." Mrs. Drakesen instructed her daughter. Kay nodded.
Yaki quickly dressed and put his wallet and money into teh pockets of his new clothes. When he was finished, Kay grabbed his arm and pulled him into the streets.
The town was gringy and the overcast sky didn't make it looked any better. She pointed out the music store, grocery store and random places they passed. They came to a bar adn she dragged him in.
In the far corner was a juke box playing Magic Carpet Ride. At the table sat a few passed out men and some roudy men sat at the bar, cheering on the Space Football game. It was just like normal football except it was in the middle of space with no gravity. Also, punching and kicking is allowed but only during play.
There were a few women in the bar, each clinging onto a man or passed out, leaning against a wall. The man behind the bar had gray hair he slicked back abd a five o'clock shadow. He wore a blue shit and jeans. He was kind of chubby. Kay pulled Yaki over to the bar.
"Hey Uncle Dave. This is Kagayaki. He's new." Kay explained to the man.
Uncle Dave smiled and reached his hand over the counter to Yaki.
"Call me Uncle Dave."
Yaki shook his hand.
"Yaki."
"So, is this your new boyfriend Kay?" the man laughed.
She slugged his shoulder. The two laughed for a second before Uncle Dave's face went serious.
"The war started." he said to Kay.
"What?" she asked.
"Just a few days ago. The bad guys, calling themselves Unmei, attacked the Mars-" he was interupted.
"Colony and a new gundam called Koi Hikari came in and saved the day?" Yaki finished.
"How do you know what the gundam is named? Not even the press know that." Uncle dave asked.
Yaki laughed a little. For the first time, he knew what power felt like.
"How do you think? I pilot it."
Shock swept across the faces of Uncle Dave and Kay.
"You are the pilot?" Kay asked.
"Yep. After teh battle I was knocked unconcious. I hid my gundam in the forest after waking up. I tried to go find food and passed out from being so weak." Yaki explained.
The three laughed at this when one of teh men stood.
"You're the pilot of the new gundam?" he asked.
Trying to sound tough, Yaki looked him in the eye and said, "Yeah."
"I don't like your cocky tone. We are pilots of the Unmei. We don't like you standing in our way." he said.
The other men stood and the first one grabbed Yaki's collar and lifted him off the ground.
"Looks like we have to teach you some respect." he told the boy.
As he pulled back his fist, Kay jumped up and kicked him in the face, knocking him backwards. After landing from the flip kick, she landed in a fighting stance. Two men came at her with punches at once. She knocked their punches into each other. As the fell, she jumped above them and kicked them into the ground. The last tow also got into fighting stances. Together, they showed off their skill before standing ready again.
"Come on little girl!" one of tehm taunted.
Kay kicked on in the gut and punched him in the face. The other one punched at her. She dodged in a circulatar motion, ducked down adn came up, punching him on the bottom of his jaw and int eh gut at the same time. The first one stood again and charged at her. Kay kneed him in the gut adn came down hard on the top of his back, just below the neck, knocking him to the ground. She then hid behind Yaki and whispered in his ear.
"Run, They'll be awake soon." she warned.
He raced out of the bar and took off into the forest. As he ran, he kept glancing back to see if he was being followed. He finall y his something, hard. He then realized his gundam was still cloaked so he ran into it. He climbed the invisible suit and managed to find the cockpit. He sat in his chair and fired the suit up adn blasted out of the forest, back into space.
Once out of earth's atmosphere, he unbuckled the seat belt and his wallet fell out of his new coat. He picked it up adn realized there was no money in it. After wondering how he could've lost his money he figured it out. Kay had taken it when she hid behind him.
"I'll get you back for this Kay..." he mumbled under his breath.
***
The last of the Unmei were thrown out of the bar. Uncle Dave looked at Kay disappointed.
"That wasn't very nice Kay." he told her.
"Those guys are looking for trouble." she tried to sound innocent.
"Kay.."
"Fine!" she put Yaki's money on the counter.
"He was a nice boy. You didn't have to rob him. Besides, we need to finish our 'project'" he told her.
"Fine fine fine. But why does Doctor J always have to be so pissy?" she complained.
Kay, Yaki, and Doctor J... Wait a sec, Doctor J?! Shouldn't he be dead by now? And what is this 'project' Kay and Uncle Dave are talking about? Next chapter coming soon!
