Chapter Eight
"To turn the tables." Kitty replied before going to her room.
**Three Hours Later**
The guards that were placed around the building after the murder watched as two men walked up the stairs. The guards weren't close enough to them to hear what it was they were talking about. The two men walked until they stopped at dorm room 417.
"This is her place." The taller of the two said. He knocked on the door. They waited until Katie came to the door. "Long time no see."
"Hey Brad." Katie said. "Come on in." She waited until they were inside for her next comment. "Kitty your other boyfriends are here." Katie said before going to sit on Quatre's lap.
"That wasn't very nice." Quatre told her.
"I don't care." Katie replied. Kitty came out of her room a minute later.
"How would you like to die? Slow and painfully or quick and painless?" Kitty asked with no sarcasm in her voice.
"Maybe we should come back later." The other guy said.
"No Dan you don't have to." Katie said. "Because just like coming this time, it's a waste of time because I'm not going."
"You're going." Kitty said.
"No I'm not. Why should you decide what I do with my life?" Katie asked.
"Because you're seventeen and until you turn eighteen you have to do what I say." Kitty told her.
"Which world war is this now?" Dan asked Brad.
"I don't know. Probably somewhere in the thirties." Brad replied.
"Well someone has to stay here to make sure you don't do something stupid, like get yourself killed." Katie commented.
"What makes you think I'm going to get myself killed?" Kitty asked.
"Are you forgetting what happened the last time you sent me away?" Katie asked.
"Yeah I do. I killed someone." Kitty said.
"You got shot." Katie shouted.
"I got shot saving you." Kitty shouted back. You could tell that both girls were ready to kill each other. (But we know who would win.) Katie was so mad that she made a relatively big mistake. She punched her sister in the face. Bard and Dan had seen this happen before unlike everyone else in the room. They were quickly between the two girls. Bard picked Kitty up and Dan picked Katie up.
"Which room is her's?" Brad asked pointing to a struggling Kitty. Everyone pointed to the room that was further from the door. Brad carried Kitty into her room. He put her on the bed and quickly left her room, shutting the door as her left. He saw Dan still holding Katie. "Will someone so him when her room is?" Relena left with Dan and Katie. They returned a minute later. Dan was holding his side. "Not quick enough?"
"Hardy-har-har...you're so funny." Dan said as a reply. "Ah...shit I just realized something."
"What?" Brad asked.
"You just locked her in her room with her weapons." Dan said. Brad blinked a couple times and looked at Kitty's door. He looked back at Dan and shrugged.
"Something tells me that we better give them time to cool off before we let them out." Bard said. Everyone in the room nodded in agreement.
"So you are the guys that are going to be watching Katie for two weeks?" Une asked.
"Yep." Brad replied.
"And now we're really looking forward to it. Have they been like this all day?" Dan asked.
"Since Kitty called you." Heero replied.
"You guys were quick to break that up." Duo commented.
"When you're friends with Kitty you have to be quick." Dan told him.
"So how many hits do you have?" Wufei asked.
"So Kitty told you guys about us?" Brad asked. Everyone nodded yes.
"I have three hundred even." Dan answered.
"Three hundred and five." Brad said. "So how many of their fights have you guys had to break up?"
"None...this would have been our first but the two of you took care of it." Duo answered him.
"So how long do we have to wait until it's safe to even enter their room?" Milliardo asked.
"With Katie we usually sent her boyfriend in. But that's only because she usually went out with someone who was in the 300 club." Dan answered. Quatre left after he answered.
"Now with Kitty...that depends." Brad said.
"That's only because she no one has ever been brave or stupid enough to go into her room when she's like this." Dan added.
"So I would give her about one hour." Brad said.
"Of coarse this is assuming that she has left through the balcony." Duo commented.
"Nah...If anything she's listening to music on her CD player or she's sleeping." Dan told them. "But I would still give her one hour to cool down." Quatre re-entered the dorm room with Katie shortly after.
"Feeling better Katie?" Duo asked. She shot him a glare that said mess with me and I'll kick your ass.
"You know where she learned that." Dan said to Brad.
"Just like her sister." Brad retorted.
"Who would like some tea?" Quatre asked.
"Or coffee?" Duo added.
"What the hell we'll add Tequila to the menu." Dan said.
"No we won't." Brad said quickly. After Quatre and Duo took tea and coffee orders, they went into the kitchen to make it.
"Can I ask a some what stupid question?" Dan asked.
"Better then anyone I know." Brad replied. Dan playfully punched him in the arm.
"How was Kitty shot?" Dan asked.
"That's a long story." Wufei said.
"So we'll just make it short." Heero added.
"Kitty took Relena to this warehouse, and she supposedly assassinated her in front of this guy named Jeff. She sent Katie to come get us. When we got the Relena was awake and Jeff was staring down the barrel of a gun. Well he pulled his out when Kitty wasn't looking and tried to shoot Katie, but Kitty got to her, pushed her down, and was shot in the process. She stilled managed to kill Jeff before passing out." Duo explained.
"As it also turns out, Jeff killed our brother." Katie added.
"WHAT!?!?" Brad and Dan yelled.
"Tea's done." Quatre said.
"And so is the coffee." Duo added.
"Well, Kitty's been in her room for thirty minutes." Noin said.
"She might have cooled down enough. It's not like we've see a knife or sword go plunging through the door." Dan commented.
"We didn't hear anything break." Brad commented.
"So who's going into the war zone?" Dan asked.
"I nominate Trowa." Duo shouted.
"Me too." Quatre chimed in.
"Why me." Trowa asked.
"She's your girlfriend Barton." Wufei said. Trowa rolled his eyes and went to Kitty's door. He knocked to see if she would answer. After receiving no answer, he opened the door. He saw she wasn't on her bed so he entered the room and closed the door. Looking around her room, he saw her out on her balcony.
"What are you doing out here?" Trowa asked when he came out on the balcony.
"Thinking." Kitty replied.
"About what?" he asked.
"Something I said."
"Could you be more specific?"
"Once Katie turns eighteen I can't keep as close an eye on her as I have been."
"Then don't you think you should give her some freedom? Like maybe if she doesn't want to leave then you shouldn't force her."
"If you were in my position with your sister, what would you do?"
"The same thing. But don't you think you should talk it out with her."
"I guess so." Trowa planted a kiss on Kitty's cheek before leaving the balcony. When they went out into the living room, they saw everyone around the dinning room table. Looking over they saw Katie arm wrestling with Dan. They watched as Dan got Katie's hand on the table.
"Nice try." Dan said to her.
"Yeah, beside I know I can beat you." Katie said.
"Hey Kitty why don't you and Dan arm wrestle?" Duo suggested.
"Because Dan has already seen the inside of the emergency because of me." Kitty told him.
"But that wasn't from arm wrestling." Dan commented.
"How much harm could you do?" Trowa said to her.
"Fine...if it will make you happy." Kitty said, giving up. She took a seat where Katie was sitting. "If I hurt you there is no bitching."
"Fine, no bitching, deal." Dan said.
"Are you ready?" Duo asked.
"Ready." Dan and Kitty said at the same time.
"Go." Duo shouted. Within seconds, Kitty slammed down Dan's arm.
"I win." Kitty announced.
"No kidding." Dan said.
"Now I need to talk to Katie." Kitty said standing up and heading to her room with Katie right behind her.
"Are we sure it's safe to have them by themselves?" Duo asked.
"Don't worry; Katie will come out in one piece." Trowa said.
**In Kitty's Room**
"What do you want to talk about?" Katie asked.
"I'm leaving it up to you weather you go with Brad and Dan or not. Considering that in a couple months I won't be able to make your do what you don't want to." Kitty told her.
"Are you serious? So no matter what I decide you won't make me do the opposite?" Katie asked in disbelief.
"Yes. Whatever you decide...I'll go with." Kitty answered.
"Then I want to stay." Katie said.
"OK...but then you aren't to leave the building without one of us with you." Kitty told her. Katie nodded her head yes before leaving the room. Trowa entered a minute later.
"Was it tough to do?" He asked.
"I detect a hint of sarcasm." Kitty said.
"You know it was the right thing to do." Trowa said to her.
"Don't remind me." Kitty stated.
"Come on. Dan and Brad are about to leave." Trowa said.
"I'll be out in a minute." She replied. Trowa nodded his head on left the room. 'Ok, I'll have to change that plan now. Of course now it'll be easier.' Kitty thought to herself. Kitty went over to her closet and started rummaging through it. Everyone heard the noise and came to see what she was doing. When they got to her door, her floor was covered in different types of swords, Chinese throwing stars, guns, various black outfits, and different things to make explosives. "Oww...dammit." They heard Kitty curse. When she came out of the closet, her hand was bloody and she was holding a bloody knife. "Oops." She through the knife at the opposite wall then went to the bathroom to clean her hand.
"Kitty, I don't mean to pry in on your masticate views, but what are you doing?" Katie asked.
"Re-thinking my plan since you're going to be here." Kitty answered.
"And this includes getting out your arsenal of weaponry...why?" Katie questioned.
"How about I answer your questions once I'm not bleeding." Kitty suggested. Trowa went to help her bandage her hand.
"Kitty since when have you had plastic explosives." Dan asked.
"I think that's what was left over from that building you and me had to break into." She answered.
"We still had stuff left over? Why didn't you tell me? Now I'm starting to think you don't like me." Dan said with pain in his voice, but you could tell it was fake.
"I still like you. Also you and Brad are going to have to stay and help me out." Kitty told them.
"Why are you dragging us into this?" Brad asked.
"Because I know you won't abject." Kitty said with confidence.
"What makes you so sure about that?" Dan asked.
"Because then we would have to settle it the assassin way and even with a damaged hand I could still kick your ass." Kitty told them.
"Fine, we'll help." They both said with a sigh of defeat.
"So what's this plan of yours?" Milliardo asked.
"Next time he calls, I'm going to tell him to meet me in the warehouse that he killed that person in. Then I'm going to blow it up with him in it." Kitty explained. "The rest is all on a need to know basis."
"What do you need?" Heero asked.
"Well, I have the things need to make bombs, so all I need is surveillance equipment." Kitty answered. "Can you get that for me?" She asked him. Heero nodded yes. Kitty finished putting all of the unnecessary things back into her closet, and went back into the dinning room. She made herself a cup of tea. AS she was making her tea, the phone rang.
"Twice in one day...I don't know weather to be flattered or annoyed." Kitty said to him.
"I would prefer if you were flattered, but that's not way I called." He told her.
"Then why did you call?" Kitty asked.
"I want you to meet me someplace private." He stated.
"Fine...meet me in the same warehouse that you killed that guy in" Kitty said.
"When?"
"Two weeks...I would make it sooner but I have finals to do." Kitty said her lie.
"I'll see you then." He was about to hang up.
"Also, I want you to call off all the people you have following me. Otherwise when I find them I use that wonderful truth serum and find out all the information I need." Kitty stated.
"You have a deal." He said then hung up at the same time she did.
"Well boys and girls I just bought us two weeks to get this all done." Kitty told them.
"Very nice." Brad commented.
"No sweat." Dan said.
"And now that you don't have his goons to follow you we can get this stuff done without him finding out." Duo added.
"Then let's get started." Heero said.
DemonessofPunishment: Wow that's a long chapter.
Heero: You were productive for being sick.
Duo: I'll say...I'm not even this productive when I'm healthy.
DemonessofPunishment: Leave me alone before I turn the two of you into girls. NEways please review.
"To turn the tables." Kitty replied before going to her room.
