Chapter Ten
"She's right...anger management classes don't work." Duo commented. He was then hit in the head with a book, thanks to the perfect solider.
"Trowa...are you okay?" Quatre asked with concern. Trowa didn't reply. He just stalked into his room and slammed the door.
**Later that night**
Brad and Dan left, knowing that nothing was going to get done. Noin, Une, and Milliardo left, shortly after Kitty ran out of the dorms. Kitty returned when everyone was sitting down for dinner. Kitty walked pass them and went into her room to clean the glass off the floor. No one would talk to her, mainly because none of them were in an "I laugh at the face danger," kind of mood. By the end of dinner, Kitty hadn't come out of her room to eat. In a way, they were relieved, but still worried.
**In Trowa's bedroom**
Trowa was sitting on his bed. Since that morning's events, he, unlike Kitty, had calmed down considerably. Although he was still a little angry. He thought Kitty would have at least talked to him by now, but she still hadn't. So there he was. Laying on his bed, thinking about what happened that morning.
'What was she talking about? What consequence does she have to face if she losses?' Trowa was re-asking himself these questions over and over again, when the answer finally hit him. 'Me.' He sat up and bed but didn't move after that. 'She stands to lose me.' He sat there in deep thought until his though process was disturbed by a knock on his door. "Come in." He said. Trowa sat there as the door and Kitty walked in.
"Hey." She said to him. "Can we talk?" He nodded. Kitty walked over to the foot of the bed, sat down, and took a deep breath before starting. "I'm sorry for what I did earlier. I kind of over reacted."
"I'll say you did." Trowa retorted bitterly.
"I guess I deserve that."
"Why would you act that way?"
"I don't now." Kitty replied truthfully. Kitty hadn't made eye contact, and she knew Trowa noticed. Kitty decided to leave the room. "I'm going to go get something to eat." Kitty lied. She walked over to the door and started to open it. The door came to an abrupt shut, and she saw Trowa's large hand on the door. He wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her close.
"Lying may work for some people, but it doesn't work for me." He whispered in her ear. With a sigh of defeat, Kitty let go of the door handle. "Also, if you're going to lie, make sure you maintain eye contact. Of course you would have to actually look at the person to do that."
"Have you heard the saying 'The eyes are the window to a person's soul.'?" Kitty asked. Trowa nodded. "Well I don't want anyone looking into mine."
"And why is that?" Trowa asked.
"Who says I need a reason." Kitty snapped.
"If you're going to start getting bitchy again we can finish talking tomorrow." Trowa stated.
"Sorry." Kitty said solemnly.
"Well you've been like this ever since the first time that guy called."
"So what if I have."
"Well why does he have you acting like this? Are you that intimidated by him?" Trowa asked.
"No." Kitty replied looking at Trowa. Trowa glared at her, mainly because he knew she wasn't telling the truth. "Maybe." Kitty changed her answer.
"Why are you so scared of him?"
"Because I know what he's capable of."
"And that's what scares you?" It wasn't really a question. Kitty nodded. Trowa tilted her chin up towards him so she was looking at him. Before finishing what he had to say, he pulled her in for a kiss. Kitty was the one who broke it off. They stood there for a few seconds. Kitty content in Trowa's arms. "You don't have to worry."
"Haven't I already told you that?"
"So what if you have." Kitty was about to say something, when a yawn escaped her lips. "Tired?" Kitty shook her head. "Liar." Kitty pinched Trowa on what little amount of flesh on his stomach wasn't muscle. "Ow, you do know that hurts."
"Yea...what's your point?"
"Well aren't we the playful one?"
"Nope. I'm the deadly one." Kitty teased. "Katie is the playful one."
"It was a rhetorical question." Trowa stated.
"I know. But I felt like answering anyways." Kitty retorted. Trowa looked at his clock to see what time it was. Much to his surprise, it read 11:30.
"Come on, we better get to bed."
"And why should we. Maybe we aren't tired." Kitty said challenging his last statement.
"Well we better get tired or-" Trowa started but was cut off in mid- sentence when Kitty pressed her lips into his.
"Or what?" Kitty asked after she broke off the kiss.
"Or you'll be really bitchy in the morning."
"Then I better go." Kitty said trying to walk out the door. Only to be pulled back by Trowa. "You know it's kinda hard to get to my room to get some sleep if you won't let me."
"I said we should get some sleep but I never said you had to leave the room."
"Well if I don't then I won't get any sleep."
"And what makes you so sure?" Trowa asked before kissing her. The kiss grew deeper and deeper with each passing moment. They finally broke the kiss panting for air.
"That's what makes me so sure."
"Also you might want to brace yourself."
"For what?"
"For the very long lecture Une is going to have for you."
"Don't you mean the one everyone is going to have for me?"
"I'm not going to have you for you."
"That's because I'm getting it now instead of tomorrow." She heard Trowa let out a small chuckle. "Well let's go get drunk."
"Why?" Trowa asked her.
"So hopefully I'll have such a bad hangover tomorrow that I'll pass out at the beginning of the very long lecture." Kitty replied.
"Let's just go to bad."
"Or we could do that."
**The next Morning**
Trowa woke up the next morning with Kitty lying on his arm. For as much as he didn't want to, he was going to have to wake her up. Which is a dangerous task all on it's own.
"Kitty." He whispered in her ear.
"Mmmm...leave me alone." He heard her mumble.
"Come on it's time to get up." Trowa tried again to get her up. Kitty turned to look at him. Only one eye was open and functioning.
"Can I have five more minutes?" She asked somewhat incoherently.
"I'm sorry but no."
"Why?"
"Because I need my arm." Trowa replied.
"Nope. It's mine." Kitty said teasingly. Hugging tighter to his arm.
"I'm serious. Now you either get up or I'm going to drag you in the shower with me."
"And I would mind that why exactly?"
"I don't know."
"What do I get if I let your arm go?"
"I'll cook breakfast."
"Okay...I can deal with that." Kitty said before letting go of Trowa's arm. "Do I still have to get up?"
"Yes."
"Dammit." Kitty cursed. By the time she had finally managed to pull herself out of bed Trowa was out of the shower and dressed.
"So how did you sleep?" Trowa asked her.
"Fine. Would have slept better if my pillow didn't move so much though." Kitty said answered before giving him a quick peck on the cheek.
"And when did I become your pillow?"
"Since I needed a new pillow. But don't worry; you won't suffer as much abuse as my other pillows." Kitty said with a small smile.
"I hope not. Your other pillows are like paper." Trowa retorted.
"So about breakfast?" Kitty pondered.
"What would you like?" Trowa asked.
"An omelet." Kitty replied.
"With what on it." He questioned.
"Ham, cheese, peppers, mushrooms, and onions." Kitty listed off what she wanted. (Mmmm...that sounds good right about now.)
"Well then how about you go get cleaned up and I'll go make your omelet." Trowa suggested.
"If I must." Kitty retorted before leaving the room. Trowa rolled his eyes (um...er...eye) at her antics. When Trowa entered the dinning room, everyone, except Wufei and Kelly, were sitting around the table. Granted by the looks on Dan and Brad's faces you could tell they still were angry. Trowa shook his head, knowing it was going to be another bad day, and entered the kitchen.
"Trowa what are you doing?" Heero asked.
"Making an omelet." Trowa replied.
"Why are you making an omelet?" Amber asked.
"It was the only was I could get custody of my arm." Trowa answered. They watched as Trowa pulled out the eggs and stopped.
"Is there a problem?" Katie asked.
"Just a small one." Trowa replied.
"It takes six eggs Trowa." Kitty said to him.
"Thank you." Trowa said to her. "Would you like tea with that?"
"No. Tea and omelets." Kitty said with a disgusted look on her face.
"Sorry I asked." Trowa retorted.
"Kitty." Une called to her.
"Yes." Kitty replied.
"Do you think we could discuss what happened yesterday?" Une asked her.
"No, I'm not really open to discussing what happened yesterday." Kitty answered.
"Well I think we should?" Une told her.
"And I think it's in everyone's best interest if we don't." Kitty retorted dryly.
"How's your hand." Brad asked.
"It's fine. It will scar over just like every other time I've done this." Kitty answered.
"I swear for Christmas I'm going to buy you a punching bag." Dan told her.
"Don't bother. It's will end up like my pillows." Kitty said to him.
"Then I'll full it with steel." Dan said.
"Not worth it. Just get me a shatter proof mirror." Kitty commented.
"No mirrors." Trowa's voice floated through the room.
"You're no fun." Kitty yelled back.
"Your monster omelet is finished." Trowa said handing her a plate with a one and a half think inch omelet on it. "Can you even eat the?" Kitty nodded. "Okay then, I'm going out for a while." Trowa said to her.
"Okay, whatever." Kitty replied. "Have fun."
"Alright, come on Quatre." Trowa said to his friend.
"Why do you need me?" Quatre asked.
"Because I will need your help." Trowa said to his friend. Quatre's eyes widened when he figured out what Trowa was talking about. "You seriously need to spend less time with Duo." Trowa said walking out the door with Quatre in tow.
"Should we be frightened?" Katie asked her sister. Kitty shook her head.
"So before we start making these bombs I have one question." Dan told her.
"What is it?" Kitty asked.
"Do you have a different plan now?" Dan asked.
"Yes I do and this one I'm going to stick with." Kitty replied. "All I need are the casings we would have used for the bombs only I need them to be big enough to fit the surveillance equipment Heero is going to be getting me."
"What is this new and improved plan of yours?" Brad asked. Kitty was about to explain when Wufei and Kelly burst through the door. They were clearly arguing.
"It was not my fault." Kelly yelled to him.
"Yes it was onna." Wufei screamed.
"Amber listen and listen good." Kitty said to her. "When you can find a guy who doesn't mind the fact that you're an ex-assassin you will be one lucky girl."
"Well it's not my fault you don't know how to keep your concentration." Kelly shouted loud enough for the entire block to hear.
"That's enough." Milliardo shouted over both of them.
"Am I going to have to separate the two of you into different corners?" Kitty asked sarcastically.
"Watch it onna." Wufei shouted.
"Watch who you're calling an onna or I will kick your ass." Kitty threatened.
"How did this start?" Katie asked. Both were about to answer when Katie cut them off. "On second thought I don't want to know. Now apologize to each other."
"Sorry." Wufei and Kelly said at the same time.
"Now what were you saying Kitty?" Katie asked.
"I was going to explain my new plan." Kitty told her. "So I need the casings to hold the cameras that we're going to set up inside the warehouse. Which means before we make the casings we need the cameras."
"How many different plans have you gone through now?" Katie asked her sister.
"Only three." Kitty replied. "Now lets get to work, because the sooner we get this done the sooner we can relax." Kitty received nods from everyone.
**Three hours later**
Trowa and Quatre walked up the stairs in silence. Even though they hadn't in the dorm room all day, they were still tired.
"So when are you going to do it?" Quatre questioned.
"When this is all over." Trowa replied.
"Are you worried about it?" Quatre asked.
"Not really." Trowa answered.
"You know you'll have to tell me all about it after you do it." Quatre told him.
"Yea...I know." Trowa retorted was they reached the door. They walked through the door into a giant mess. Kitty and Dan were sitting on the dining room table assembling metal boxes. Heero and Duo were attaching cameras to some already assembled boxes. Katie and Relena were making lunch from what they could tell. Everyone else in the room was sorting through different pieces of metal or cleaning up different parts of the room. "What's going on?"
"Hey we didn't hear you come in." Duo said to them.
"Obliviously." Quatre commented. "Now what's up with the giant mess?"
"Would you believe me if I said spring cleaning?" Katie asked her boyfriend.
"Try again." Trowa said.
"Were just assembling some bomb casings to hold the cameras." Kitty told him, before cutting her hand. "FUCK!"
"Dammit Kitty that's the third time." Bard commented.
"I swear the metal is out to kill me." Kitty said sarcastically.
"Come on let's go clean your hand." Trowa said to her. Everyone was finishing what he or she was doing before eating lunch. They finished the first part of the project without any more injuries.
Demoness: See Lorimlowe2. I told you I'd get this up before the year 2003.
Trowa: What are you planning?
Demoness: What makes you think I'm planning something?
Kitty: I think we have the right to know what you're planning.
Demoness: Sorry but nowhere in the book of rules for fanfiction authors or authoress does it say that the characters in the story have to know what is going to happen to them. Now please read and review. Thanks. Ja'ne.
"She's right...anger management classes don't work." Duo commented. He was then hit in the head with a book, thanks to the perfect solider.
