Opposites Attract
DISCLAIMERS: No I don't own Gundam, but I own a Gundam scroll, poster, comics, tapes, stickers, tattoos, and a Trowa poster! I own Trowa! (I wish!) Sadly, I could not think of any fanfics with Trowa, so I used Quatre for my idea. *sigh* Trowa...
Chapter 3: Getting To Know You
"Wake up Quatre." Kiana shook him until she saw his eyelids flutter open. Sunlight streamed through the window and into the room. "I'm going to take you home."
Quatre sat up and rubbed his eyes. He felt a lot better and his head didn't hurt as much anymore. He got up and followed Kiana out the door and outside. "It's a long walk. You think you can make it?" Kiana asked. Quatre nodded. "Alright. They walked across lawns and alley ways. Quatre was surprised to see that there were no trash on the ground. Kiana saw him looking around and smiled.
"I like to keep the area clean. Other people like to help out sometimes," she said.
"You must be a very important person around here," Quatre commented. Kiana shrugged and continueed to walk. "Kiana?" She stopped and looked at him. "Is it okay if I ask some questions while we're walking? After all, you said it was going to be a while til we get to the estate." Kiana hesitated.
"Alright." She walked on as he spoke.
"Kiana, why do you work so hard? Don't you have school?"
"I work because I need to earn some money to help out my friends. They're the closest thing to a family that I have. I owe them for being there for me. I don't have school. None of us do. We don't have enough money for that." Quatre blinked in mild surprise, but continued to walk.
"That's too bad. How did you survive being on the streets for so long?" Kiana whirled sharply to face him.
"How did you know about that?" she demanded. Quatre took a step back.
"Tahari did. She was worried about you and I asked her some questions and she told me." Kiana narrowed her eyes, but turned away and walked on. I never knew or met a person who was so cold and kind at the same time before, Quatre thought to himself. They continued to walk to his estate in silence.
"Kiana? How did you learn how to fight? I saw what you did before I blacked out."
"I taught myself." Her voice was hard and curt.
"That's amazing. You move so fast," Quatre said with wonder. Quatre could see his estate now.
"We better hurry. Everyone there must be worried about you," Kiana said. They walked faster and soon reached the estate. A guard spotted them.
"Master Quatre! You're back! Everyone's been worried about you!" He opened the gates and let Quatre and Kiana inside. A man stepped out of the mansion and ran towards them.
"Quatre! Where have you been?" he asked. There was worry written all over his eyes.
"I-I jumped the wall and walked around. I got jumped by a gang and she helped me," Quatre told his father. His father turned to face Kiana.
"I thank you for helping my son. How can I repay you?" his father asked, but didn't sound as if he meant it. He eyed her jeans and tangtop with only a sweater over in distaste.
"I do not need any payment. I am happy to have helped your son. I will leave now," Kiana said. turned to leave.
"Wait Kiana. You deserve something. Will you take a job as a housemaid in this mansion?" Quatre asked. He looked at her pleadingly. Kiana wavered under his stare. Slowly, she nodded. "Good! You'll be paid a hundred dollars a week for your work." Kiana looked at him in amazement. She had never had that much money in her life.
"T-thank you," she stuttered. Quatre nodded happily and took out something from his pocket.
"I want you to have this. Take it as a gift of my gratitude," Quatre said. He took out five hundred dollars and extended it to Kiana. She shook her head.
"I can't take this. You've already given me a job that pays well. That's enough," Kiana declined.
"No, take it. Please. Take it and use it to help out your family," Quatre insisted. He took her hand and placed the money in it. She looked at him, gratitude filled her eyes.
"Thank you. I'll be glad to see you again tomorrow," she said. She gave him one of her rare smiles and walked out the gate.
Kiana hurried to tell the others the good news. Soon, they would be able to live in a proper home and get to got to school. She jogged til she got to the alley and rested against the wall. What was wrong with her? She all of a sudden felt so tired. Kiana shook her head. It must be the excitment. She walked on towards her friends.
Something's wrong, but no one will know about it til later. In the meantime, Kiana will be working in the mansion. Boy is Quatre happy. He hasn't any friends except for the other four guys who are away right now. Don't worry, they'lll be here soon!
