Last time:
A large gang of street rats attacked Firefly. She ran and was shot in the leg. Titan flew off to get help while she was left to defend herself for the moment.
Titan
Titan flew back to the first thing it thought of: the two boys she had met just recently. Her friend was in trouble and nothing was about to stop her. Flying to the garden she found it empty, but not slowing down or even pausing she began to flap harder until she saw a huge mansion with a few lights on. Flying in the nearest one she found Trowa there as well as two men she'd had not yet met. Crying out she attempted to get Trowa to help her keeper and friend.
Trowa
He was playing chess against Duo, who always enjoyed a good game with Wufei watching, telling them about Firefly. Out of the open window a raven flew in letting out horrifically urgent screams. In an instant he recognized it as Titan. The other two looked bewildered at the insistent bird. He knew that Titan was well trained by the fact that Firefly need only to speak to her and she understood and that she would not had found him and come screeching without good reason. He stood up quickly.
"What is it Titan?" he inquired the bird. The bird released a high pitched shriek and leapt to the window. Trowa sent a glance to the two dumbfounded men still in the room.
"Come. A newly found friend needs me. I may need help" he told them and jumped out the window landing gracefully on his feet following the swift Titan to her master. He heard reassuring quite foot steps of Wufei behind him as well as the unsure heavy foot steps of Duo.
As Titan flew by she passed into an alleyway. There he saw. . .
Back with Firefly(Sorry 'bout the momentary cliffie, I had to write her part)
As soon as Titan flew away she'd taken out all of her weapons which were: a jack knife and a small dagger. Flipping over she'd tried to stand, but to no avail, and she slumped back down on the wretchedly disgusting ground. She could fight, very well, and if it came down to that, she would fight each of the fools off before she let them have her. The first ran up to her and stood there, not knowing exactly what to do. About 16 years old he stood over her with a large bat, waiting for the rest of his cronies. Firefly decided to mess with his head, the young were naïve and dim-witted.
"What's you name?" she asked in her gentle bashful voice. He looked at her perplexed for a moment and then instantly became infuriated.
"What does it matter to you, bitch?" he retorted.
"I would like to know the name of my murderer, even if he does not know mine," she whispered, a phony tear flowing down her pale cheek. His face fell into a somber state and he looked as though he was hesitant to hurt her. Inside she was grinning. She'd touched a nerve.
He looked down as the rest of his buddies arrived. He kept his head down as they began to beat her. Fists hit her stomach expecting her wince and cry and scream, but she refused to do it. She never let out a peep and they continued to kick her. Finally she'd had enough. Grabbing the foot of one of the boys she flipped him down and pulled him over her, knife against his throat. She used him to stand up.
"Let me go and I'll let your comrade go," she told them, but what she didn't know was that behind her a few boys had assembled together. They grabbed her around the stomach and removed the blade from her grasp. The one whose nose she'd broken held a new knife to her throat, cutting a thin line across it, not deep enough to damage, light enough to sting and tingle. She just stood and waited. Only the most detached and cruelest hearts could kill someone like this, helpless and vulnerable.
She heard the shriek of Titan and looked up to see her turn around the corner followed by Trowa and two other men. A sweet mocking grin graced her lips as she kicked the boy behind her in the forehead with her good leg, which made the knife dig deeper.. (Imagine Rush Hour 2, when what's her face kicks Carter) She flipped him over her onto several gang members. Another boy came up behind her limping form and pointed a gun to his head when a gun shot rang out, and that boy collapsed to the ground.
One of the two men was holding the gun towards the general crowd of boys. The other one she didn't recognize had an ancient Chinese sword out and was holding it threateningly toward the boys, and Trowa had another in a head-lock.
"Go! Leave the onna alone!" cried out the man with the sword. The men went scrambling backwards and away from the three men who obviously knew how to fight better then they. Once they had all gone Firefly allowed herself to breakdown on the ground. Once she'd settled herself down she took the knife and dug out bullet.
"You look like you've done that before." Trowa commenting her treatment of the wound. Firefly smiled eerily at him.
"I have," smirking at his raised eyebrows, "I'm a nurse." She grinned as the three looked more relieved.
"Thanks for helping me out back there. They might have killed me," she said gratefully and then turned to the other two. "And who might you two be?"
"Duo Maxwell, I may run and hide, but I never tell a lie!" said the one with the gun.
"Chang Wufei," answered the one with the sword gruffly. At this Firefly's eyes lit up.
"As in Chang?! You mean belonging to the Chang Clan!"(I don't remember the name of his actual clan if he did have one) she asked in awe.
"Er, yes." He looked slightly uncomfortable.
"They already know who you are." Trowa told her. She nodded and raised her hand and Titan came down with a roll of bandage. At this her two most recent acquaintances were staring. She wrapped the bandage around her leg and stood up with the help of Duo.
Smiling she said, "Thank you so much for your help, I wish I could repay you somehow. I'll think of something, but for now goodnight."
"Whoa, wait a minute!" exclaimed Duo. "You're not going home alone like this and with that gang still out there, and you don't have to repay us."
Firefly shook her head back and forth, "I've caused you too much trouble. Please, I do . . ."
Duo cut her short, "Besides I need to ask you a few questions." At this everyone looked surprised.
"Fine," she sighed, ", but under one circumstance: I get to repay you."
"Deal," Duo said grinning.
"Alright let's get going!" she said, limping with Duo's aid.
The walk to her temple was short since she'd run most of the distance there. As soon as they finished the many steps up, Duo sat her down and then plopped next to her, gazing around in wonder. It truly was beautiful at night. Fireflies would glow all around everything and light the place up.
Beaming in pride of her shrine she asked Duo, "What was it you wanted to ask me?"
"Um, how do you know Heero?" he asked, the smile gone from his face.
"Heero? I don't know him," she answer confused.
"You ran into him in the alleyway earlier today. I was there, but you didn't notice because you were too busy staring at him."
At this she blushed furiously, "I-I . . . he . . . h-how . . . i-it . . . s-si-similar . . . ah" After a pause she let out an annoyed 'Ugh' at her stuttering. She turned to Duo who had his eyebrows raised intrigued and his mouth in a teasing grin. Elbowing him in his gut she sated clearly, "He looks like someone I met once. It couldn't be him, it's not humanly possible."
"Why is that?" Duo inquired. She stood and looked down at him, her violet eyes possessing a melancholy sorrow and regret.
"Because he's dead." Her answer seemed to echo through Duo's head. Heero should have died many times and still survived, but that as because, like himself, he was a vampire.
"Is there any chance that he could have survived? Any at all?" he asked to give her the only comfort he could provide.
"No," she responded quickly. Too quickly, it was obvious that she knew he was dead. After that she just stood there staring out at trees and Duo sat uncomfortable in the silence.
"I look forward to meeting you and your friends again Maxwell-kun." She said quietly before turning around walking into the shrine without saying a farewell.
"Uh, yeah," he replied and turned to bid the girl goodnight, "Good Ni . . .", but she was already gone.
With the other boys
Trowa and Wufei were now playing chess by themselves when Quatre came in a light smile on his face as always, and a tray with cups and hot tea in his hands.
"A lovely night," he spoke politely.
"It is," Trowa agreed and helped Quatre with the tea. (No nothing is going on between them, they make a super kawaii couple, but I don't want to add them, sorry 3+4 fans!)
"Guess who flew in our window earlier this evening?" Trowa said with a smirk. Quatre was a bit taken aback. One thing: Trowa was being social and two: he was smirking.
"Who?"
"Titan," Trowa answered the smirk still evident on his face.
"Really?!" Quatre asked, surprised by the news.
"Yes," replied Wufei, "She led us to an alleyway where that Onna that owns her was being attacked by some gang members."
"Who are us?" Quatre said, truly looking shocked by the information she was receiving.
"Trowa, Duo, and myself. Duo was helping the weak onna to her house." Wufei said sneering.
"Was she alright?" Quatre looked concerned.
"She'd been shot in the leg. It was quite the nasty wound," stated Trowa grimly.
"Oh! Shouldn't she have gone to the hospital?" Quatre asked the two, his eyes wide in fear, shocked that they would let the poor girl go home like that, with or without Duo's help.
"Relax," Trowa told the blonde.
"The onna was a nurse of some kind. She wrapped her wound with a bandage that that bird brought." Wufei informed him.
"Oh." Quatre said, "Please continue your ga . . ."
"HI HONEY I'M HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOME!" hollered a voice in the front hall.
"The braided baka's back," Wufei grumbled unhappily. As in on cue a brown and black blur came zooming in and dumped itself on the couch next to Wufei, and leaving no space in between them.
"So, Wu-man, dearest, did you miss me?" Duo teased making pucker noises.
"Maxwell," Wufei stated.
"Yes?" Duo asked, cheerful as ever.
"You die. NOW!" he cried taking out his katana and chasing Duo. At that moment Heero walked in and grabbed Wife's wrist making him drop his sword and Duo's braid, making him stop short for fear of it being yanked.
"You two can be heard within a 6 mile radius." He growled.
"I think it was more along the lines of 5.8 miles, but . . ." Duo said, trying to calm the situation.
"Hn." Heero took his laptop and sat down in chair.
"I had some rather good blood today. Maybe in a few weeks I'll use that host again." Quatre said thoughtfully.
"I got the nasty common stuff again," Duo shuddered, "It's just not the same, ya know?"
"Yes, I do know. Some honorable people mix blood lines with the most dishonorable types." Wufei said with a small sigh.
"In the old days, people had the sweetest blood, no one mixed with the wrong sort. People like that are rare nowadays." Trowa sighed (ok let's just say he's more open with them, I need him to talk cuz I made him the 2nd oldest and the oldest is Heero)
"You know what? Firefly looked pretty yummy. Maybe one of us should try her?!" Duo told them excitedly, forgetting that Heero was in the room.
"Who is Firefly?" Heero asked, staring into his comrades' eyes.
"A weak onna we've all met," Wufei told him. Quatre sighed. Heero still looked suspicious and he hated lying to the man who had saved him when he was younger. He knew that Heero was kind-hearted, but he couldn't show that because that's how he was raised.
"She was the girl that bumped into you on the street." Quatre informed his friend much to the rest's surprise.
Heero raised an eyebrow at Quatre, "Really?" If not for they're great respect for Heero they would have store at him for answering instead on hning.
"Yes, you know that garden? It belongs to her. Trowa and I met her there and then later today she was attacked by a gang. Her pet raven, Titan, came to Trowa, Wufei, and Duo and led them to where Firefly was about to be killed," Quatre told him.
"How did you know her?" asked the reserved Trowa.
"I didn't." he replied gruffly before returning to his work. The others took this as the signal to stop bothering him and chatted between themselves about blood and things that vampires would.
Hehe! Done for now. It was . . . 2224 words without notes or the 'Last time' part. Almost 6 pages. Ok, gotta go write the next one! Feel free to flame me! I welcome criticism of any kind as long as I can use it to improve my story!
