Chapter 4
Healing None
Quatre watched her. He understood what she meant before. About some of the species that he collected were toys. Call him naïve, but at least he got it. Quatre rubbed his arms and noticed different bruises all of her blue, pale body.
Quatre looked up with determination in his eyes. He quickly tip-toed out of the room and called for the others.
They all rushed down.
"See!," Duo half whispered half shouted, "What did I tell you? No Duo you must be mistaken. I've got two words for you. CAT Scan," Duo mocked. Wufei growled and nodded.
"Okay okay. Stop your whining Maxwell!," Wufei growled. Duo smiled and nodded. He perceived it as an apology.
"Guys," Quatre said, "I think she might be hypothermic!"
Trowa flipped on the lights. They all crowded around the couch. She was still in the ball clutching her wet knees. He skin was pale with a hint of blue. Her teeth were chattering like mad.
"She has to get warm," Heero stated. Heero walked over to a closet and took out several blankets. "Trowa, take her up to the extra room. Quatre, get her some clothes. Wufei, get the kit. And Duo get some warm water and cloths"
They all nodded and scattered around the house. Heero followed Trowa as the circus performer carried the unconscious girl to the spare room. Trowa set the girl down. She rolled back into a ball on the big bed. Suddenly Quatre came into the door with an oversized shirt and pajama pants. They quickly dressed the cold girl as Wufei walked into the room. They dressed her wounds and wrapped her in blankets. Duo walked in with the water and cloths and applied them to her forehead. She stopped chattering and shaking. She was more relaxed, but still very pale and blue.
"Will she be alright?," Quatre asked.
"Is she the target?," Heero asked. Quatre nodded.
"You're not going to turn her in are you? I have a feeling that we shouldn't. I have a real strong feeling about it," Quatre added. Heero turned to Quatre.
"She's the target Quatre, not a puppy dog."
"Don't talk to me like I'm a kid, okay? I just get this really bad feeling from her, but it's not her. Let her explain her situation when she gets up at least." Quatre looked up at him with slight puppy dog eyes. Heero looked away, then looked back. He nodded.
"I'll decide then."
"Since when are you the high and almighty ruler?," Duo asked.
"Then we'll all decide," Heero growled. "I'm tired, let's all just go to sleep."
"I'll stay up to make sure she's alright," Quatre volunteered. They all nodded, said their good-byes, and left the two alone.
Quatre pushed her wet bangs away from her eyes. He smiled down at her. "I'm sorry," he whispered as he leaned forward and gave her a kiss on her forehead.
*~*
Her wings shrank into her back as her eyes fluttered open. A boy with platinum blond hair greeted her with a smile.
"It's nice to see you awake," he said peeling off some of the blankets from her. She started getting up but he pushed her back down.
"You had a lot of damage to your abdomen and you've been asleep for about four days." She looked up at him with defiant eyes.
"I'm fine," she said.
"I saw the cuts myself."
"Fine what ever." She settled back into the bed and looked towards the window.
"Um, well we never really introduced ourselves," Quatre started. She didn't move. "Well, my name is Quatre Raberba Winner. I brought you in here. May I ask what you were doing in my garden?"
"Hiding," she answered.
"Oh, from that beast thing?"
"He's a Lupegon. Half werewolf, half dragon," she mumbled.
"Oh."
She quickly sat up, before Quatre could say anything. "I'm still on earth aren't I?" Quatre sat down by her bed and nodded.
"You know you really shouldn't do that. You could make your injuries worse."
She leaned towards him so their faces were inches apart. She put her hand to his cheek.
"You can empathize right?" Quatre slowly nodded. "Well, if I was immediately hurting you would feel it with the contact of my skin." She leaned back and took off the last blanket. She swung her feet over the bed and stood up. Quatre just sat and watched in awe as the girl lifted her shirt up a little and took off the bandages that were wrapped around there. A bluish substance was staining the inside, but it was dry and there was no cut or scar by her bellybutton.
She ran a finger at where the injury would have been. She looked up at Quatre.
"See?" Quatre open and closed hi mouth a couple times, but decided not to speak. "I'm part of a species called the Dongels. And from where I am there's even more people with wings and different types of looks." Quatre nodded. She shook her head and let her shirt fall back around her waist. "You're mother must have been part of a Equan colony. They're everywhere."
"How do you know about my mother?"
"I don't, but the only way a male could have gotten it is if you were her last born and so you got all of her powers as she died." Quatre looked down and nodded.
"She died giving birth to me," he agreed.
"See?" She sighed. "I'm sorry, she must have been beautiful." Quatre nodded and smiled.
"She's somewhere special." There was a small pause between them. Suddenly there was a clanging of dishes from down the stairs.
"You're not the only one here?" Quatre shook his head. She stretched to the ceiling and yawned.
"Where are my manners?" Quatre looked up as she curtseyed towards him. "My name is Liana Toran Herlon. It's nice to meet you." She looked up and stretched to the ceiling again. "I hate doing that," she mumbled. Before Quatre could answer Duo stormed into the room, laughing and with a pot on his head. (GWA: Don't ask, I just felt like making him do that. =^.^=.)
"Hey Quat!," Duo laughed, "You've gotta help me! He…," Duo stopped as he noticed that the blue girl was standing in front of him. "Oh, hey, shouldn't you be sleeping or something?"
"Duo?!," Quatre screamed.
"What?," he whined, "What did I say?"
"You two must be good friends," she stated.
"Yeah. And?," Duo asked.
"Well, I can see it."
"If you're blind you can hear it," Duo answered.
"I can actually see a string that holds you two together," she explained. Duo turned around in a circle.
"I don't see a string." Liana shook her head.
"Never mind," she muttered. Duo walked around her then stopped again in front of her.
"So where are the wings?"
"They're back."
"In your body?" She nodded. "Cool."
"Um, well, you have been asleep for awhile. Do you want to take a shower or eat something?"
"A shower sounds good," she answered.
"Alright. Just wait here and make sure he doesn't cause to much trouble."
"That was mean, Quat. That was real mean." Quatre smiled and disappeared into the door that led to the bathroom.
"So," Duo said taking off the pot from his head.
"What's happening downstairs?"
"Oh, well I sort of started a food fight downstairs. I don't think they know I'm gone yet." She nodded and walked towards the window. She opened the curtain and let the sun wash over her. Her eyes focused and she looked down at the garden under her window.,
"This place is beautiful," she whispered to herself.
"So where are you from exactly?," Duo asked walking closer to her.
"I'm from another dimension. Its called Taleron. It's where all of the creatures from Earth fled to when they were being prosecuted during what you call the Medieval times."
"Oh, I never knew that."
"Nobody here does. My un-evolutionized ancestors used their powers to wipe out all of the humans' memories. All they know are drawings, stories, and vague day dreams."
"Do you have that power?" Liana turned to him and nodded.
"Yeah, I used it to wipe out some of Quatre's memory of when he bumped into me. He recognized me. I had to keep my cover a secret."
"So what's it like havng those wings Tira?"
She cringed at the name. "My real name is Liana. Tira was my human name."
"Oh."
"Liana!," Quatre called. Liana gave Duo a quick smile before going towards the bathroom. "Well, I've started the bath for you. Here are some extra clothes, a robe, and we'll be down stairs if you need anything."
She nodded. "Thank you," she said as Quatre closed the door.
"She nice," Quatre said.
"She's weird."
"Why?"
"Well, do you think we should believe her?"
"What? Are you kidding me? Did you see her wings? Did you see that Lupegon?"
"That what?"
"That's the beast thing that was attacking her."
"Oh, well yeah I saw it, but it doesn't seem to add up still."
"Let's go downstairs. We'll tell the others she's awake and maybe she'll explain it to us."
Duo nodded and followed his friend out.
*~*
"She's awake?," Heero asked as Duo and Quatre entered the kitchen. Quatre nodded while Duo hid behind him and waved.
"What did you do Duo?," Quatre asked. Murderous glares were looking over his shoulders towards the long haired man. Duo grinned at them.
"Do you honestly want to know?," Wufei asked, sipping his coffee. Quatre nodded.
"I'm going to find out one way or another," Quatre answered.
"He tipped over my coffee while I was drinking, then proceeded to dump some sugar onto Heero's head, and threw some eggs at Trowa," Wufei answered.
"He hid behind a stupid pot while we cursed at him and threw food at him. But he's unfazed. Bastard," Heero continued.
"You know you love me Hee-chan," Duo grinned. Heero grumbled something under his breath while Quatre sweat dropped.
"Well, then I think Duo should clean up the kitchen and clean their clothes."
"They that's not fair! Somebody gave me coffee this morning!," Duo protested. They all turned their stares to Quatre. Quatre hung his head down and sighed.
"I gave him my cup because he was thirsty," Quarter explained, "But I was half-awake anyway! I spaced out!"
"You and Duo get to clean our clothes and the kitchen," Heero explained.
"Our revenge will come soon for the braided baka though," Trowa continued.
"Help me," Duo whispered into Quatre's ear. Quatre shook his head and sat down by Trowa. Trowa ruffled the blond boy's hair.
"Good morning," Trowa greeted. Quatre nodded and yawned.
"You all give me a headache sometimes," Quatre grumbled. Duo was still standing, watching the death glares coming in from Wufei and Heero. Then something in their eyes triggered.
"Uh, sorry?," he said. Heero and Wufei shook their heads and started pelting food at them. Trowa looked up and Quatre shook his head. Trowa got up and threw an apple at him.
At that time Liana walked into the kitchen as Duo ducked from the apple. "Liana!," Quatre warned. Liana yawned and stopped the apple in mid- air using her hand. The apple was suspending in mid-air before she looked at it. She grabbed the red apple and bit into it.
"Good morning," she greeted and stretched to the ceiling. "Do you guys always wear your food or is that some kind of human tradition?" Duo and Quatre's mouths hung open as Trowa and Wufei's eyes bugged out. Liana's stare then went over to Heero. They both glared at each other. She growled and left the kitchen.
"What was that?," Duo asked.
"What the stare war or the apple in mid-air?," Quatre asked.
"Both," they all said. Heero got up and left the kitchen towards where Liana left.
"How about we answer their issue," Duo said pointing to where Heero had just left.
Trowa shrugged as Duo sat in Heero's spot.
"From what we know they don't know each other, but it looks like in some way they do know each other," Wufei deciphered.
"But how and where?," Quatre asked.
"There's a lot we don't know about Heero," Trowa said.
"Yeah, but he would have told me wouldn't he?"
"Has he told you anything about his training?," Trowa asked. Duo shook his head. "Everyone has a dark spot."
GWA: What! I stopped!?!?! How? Why? It's all because I've got a mild case of writer's block and guilt. Yes, I don't know what to add next and I need to check up on my CCS fic. So until next chapter…
