Chapter Eleven
"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.
**Two weeks later**
The cameras were set up through the entire warehouse. Monitors had been set up to a van in the back of the warehouse. Preventers' soldiers were set up throughout the perimeter of the warehouse. Microphones had been set up throughout the inside of the warehouse so they could, not only get a visual picture, but could also hear what they were saying. Kitty was standing in the middle of the building. The earpiece in her ear was barely visible.
"You ready Kitty?" Her sister asked. (Kitty heard her through the earpiece)
"Well it's not like I can back out now." Kitty told her.
"Sure you could." Duo's voice came over.
"Whatever. Is he here yet?" Kitty asked.
"He just pulled up." Heero answered.
"Alright. Remember Katie, no talking." Kitty said.
"Good luck Kitty." Trowa said to his girlfriend.
"Trowa luck is for people who plan to die...and I don't." Kitty retorted. She stood there and watched as the smallest door in the warehouse opened. A man about the same height as Kitty with black hair, and brown eyes walked into the main floor of the building.
"Quaint little place you got here." He said.
"You always did like to give complements." Kitty said to him.
"Only for you it's was harder then with others. But I like a challenge." He said, letting out a small chuckle.
"Yea well you always were the flirtatious one Mike." Kitty commented.
"Oh Katrina." Mike started.
"Don't call me that." Kitty said.
"Fine then Kitty, but tell me how you, an assassin such as yourself, could choose a Preventer over me." Mike pondered.
"Trowa's the nicest, sweetest, loving, and caring man in the world. And I know that he won't turn around and go screw some girl he just found in a bar." Kitty explained. Had she been outside, she would have seen Trowa start to blush.
"That's so sweet...and for only dating for three months. Now allow me to go puke." Mika said sarcastically.
"You could make whatever jokes you want about him, but he is a better man then you ever will be." Kitty said seriously.
"Well Kitty let me ask you this...for all the times I've followed the two of you when you were in public I have never once heard either one of you say this so..." Mike stop to breath. "Do you love him?"
"Yes I do."
"How much do you love this Trowa Barton?"
"More then life itself. Does this have a point?"
"Patients Katrina...you must have patients."
"Patients for what? A person who kills an innocent person just to get someone's attention. Then in turns threatens to kill people close to said person. Tell me where in there I should have patients."
"Watch it Katrina." Mike stated calmly. "I have more patients then you but I will not tolerate your disrespectfulness."
"Really? Jeff couldn't either. But then again I never had respect for him, and I don't have any for you. But there is a difference between you and Jeff."
"And what is that?"
"You won't end up dieing by my hand."
"You bitch."
"Well I've been demoted. I went from being a psychotic bitch to a plain bitch."
"You think this is so funny don't you?"
"In a way it is."
Listening outside, everyone was wondering where Kitty was going with the act of hers.
"Don't ask me. I maybe her sister but I don't know the inner workings of her mind." Katie said. Everyone was looking at her as if she knew something.
"She never discussed anything with me." Trowa stated.
"It's a plan of hers." Brad said.
"What is it?" Heero asked.
"It's a way to fight mentally." Dan answered.
"How does that work?" Duo asked.
"You get your opponent so angry that they blindly attack you." Brad told him.
"Does it work?" Quatre asked.
"Yes...it works quite well." Wufei answered.
"How would you know?" Brad asked.
"I've used the tactic myself a couple times." Wufei told him.
Inside the warehouse, the once calm, cool, and collected Mike, was no more.
"I should have killed you when you fell in love with that pacifist." Mike said to her.
"Yes well I'm also here to reply that debt." Kitty commented.
"What, you're going to fight me again. Well then you'll lose, *again*." You could hear the emphasis on the word as he said it.
"I lost once...I don't intend to lose again." Kitty stated calmly.
"Well you're going to." Mike said. He removed the trench coat he was wearing, to revile heavily muscled and well toned arms. "Let's go."
"Street or traditional?" Kitty asked.
"Street." Mike replied.
"Okay but are you sure."
"Positive." Kitty shrugged her shoulders. They took the proper stances. (A/n: Only usually street fighting doesn't have a starting stance. Oh well.) Mike was the first to attack and tried to take Kitty out by kicking her in the head. She easily blocked the move and sent an upper cut to his jaw. He stumbled back a few feet. "Well someone's gotten stronger in the past two years."
"No...I've just been eating and sleeping." Kitty retorted.
Mike, to say the least, was not happy for her disrespectfulness, again. So he tried to take Kitty down by swooping her legs from out from under her. It worked. Kitty went crashing to the ground. Trowa, who was watching through the monitor, was ready to run into the warehouse and help Kitty, but Dan, Brad, Heero, and Wufei help him back. (Could you imagine how many people it would take to hold Heero down if it takes four just to hold down Trowa?) Kitty moved out of the way before Mike could do any damage and was back on her feet in less than three seconds.
"Come on Kitty. You know what will happen if you lose." Mike taunted.
"Yea well it won't happen because I won't lose." Kitty retorted.
"Well see." Mike said before charging at her. At the last moment, Kitty sidestepped and brought her knee into Mike's stomach. He fell to the ground holding his stomach. Kitty bent down beside him.
"You killed someone I loved, and threatened to kill others. Yet, this is all I do to you. I'm no longer an assassin and no longer fight those from my past. It all ends now." Kitty said in a dead calm voice. She didn't realize that the rest of the group had come through the back of the warehouse when they saw Mike fall to the ground. She stood up and turned around. "You can take him away now Une." Une Nodded and her, Noin, and Milliardo came, arrested Mike, and took him away.
"That was awesome." Katie exclaimed.
"You go girl." Dan called out.
"How ya feeling?" Brad asked.
"Fine." Kitty answered.
"Come on let's get back." Trowa said.
"Hold on one minute." Kitty said. She walked over to where Une, Noin, Milliardo, and now Sally were. "Where are they Mike?" Kitty asked. Mike knew what she was talking about, and after getting the shit knocked out of himself, he now had respect for the person he beat.
"Inside pocket." Mike told her. Kitty walked over to his trench coat, which was still on the floor. She picked it up, reached inside the pocket, and pulled out an envelope. Handing the trench coat over, to the people who were collecting evidence, and walked back over to the group.
"Now we can go." Kitty said walking past the group. Trowa followed right behind her. Everyone was eventually out of the warehouse and on their way back to the dorm.
"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.
