The Adventures cont.

Wufei sat on the bed, brooding and pondering, silently cursing at the girl that had just left him. He didn't know that she had no clue where she was going.

Kyte wandered the halls, exploring the large castle, finding secret passageways and desperately looking for a library. The halls were lined with beautiful paintings that she suspected were done by Trowa or Wufei, those two being the only ones with real artistic ability. She found a painting of a swordsman in a cloak in a rainstorm. She looked in the corner, seeing that Trowa had painted it. She continued walking through the halls, admiring the works of art, but stopped when she noticed that someone was following her.

"You, maid," a young, blonde woman yelled after her. Kyte turned to face her.

"What do you want," she asked, narrowing her eyes.

"Maid, get me some water." Kyte turned away from her and walked back towards Wufei's room.

"Whatever." The blonde woman seemed severely pissed. She ran to Kyte and turned her around by her shoulder, slapping her. Kyte's head whipped to the side, but she didn't seem fazed.

"I said to go and get me some water." Kyte just looked at her. "Go!"

"I think not." Kyte pushed the woman off of her and smirked in triumph when she hit the wall opposite from her. "I am not a maid here." Kyte turned and tried to go into Wufei's room, but was caught from behind by the other young woman.

"I said I wanted something to drink." She pulled Kyte around to face her with a sneer and was caught off guard as she dropped down and pulled her legs from underneath her. A fight soon broke out. Punches were thrown and caught by faces and stomachs. Skin was clawed with long, untrimmed nails and kicks were a part also. Finally, the men were storming out of their rooms, coming to watch and break up the fight. Quatre came from down the hall at the same time that Wufei came out of his. Wufei caught Kyte by her waist and started to pull her back form the other. Quatre picked the blonde up and slung her over his shoulder to carry her away.

"You fight well! What's your name!?"

"Serenity! And you!?"

"Kyte," Wufei said, pulling her into his room and shutting the door. As Quatre carried her away, Serenity thought to herself.

'Kyte, eh? What a worthy adversary.' Serenity was stunned out of her revere as Quatre dumped her onto the bed.

"How could you," he asked as he walked into his bathroom to retrieve a first aid kit.

"How could I what," Serenity quipped.

"How could you pick a fight with her? She's one of my allies for Christ sakes! You can't go around picking fights with whomever you please, you know?"

"She picked the fight with me. Not the other way around. She even ruined my dress." Serenity looked down at the torn garment and winced as Quatre touched the alcohol to her scratched cheek.

****

Wufei tossed Kyte onto the bed, smirking as she made a noise of surprise. He disappeared into his own bathroom to bring back a first aid kit. He threw it at her and she caught it, glaring at him.

"I don't see why I'm in trouble," Kyte said. She opened up the kit and poured the alcohol onto a small towel.

"You're not," Wufei snapped. "I just wish that you wouldn't go---"

"Running around, picking fights with whomever I please. I have a feeling that Quatre just told her the same thing." She touched the cloth to her nose, grimacing as the fluid took its affect. Wufei snatched the cloth from her and placed it on the wound right above her eye. She pulled back. "I can take care of myself."

"Obviously you can't, Kyte. If you could, you would not have gotten into that fight with her! Why did you force that squabble!?" He held her down as he tried to help her with her wounds.

"I didn't! But neither did she!" Wufei sighed while looking down at her.

"You've always been this way."

"Well," Quatre said. "Did you at least enjoy it?"

"Enjoy what," Serenity answered. "That fight? Of course. I've finally met someone who doesn't care that I'm royalty enough to hold back while fighting me. I'll have to have a little talk with that Kyte girl again."

"You're all done."

"What? Already? That didn't even hurt."

"You were too busy talking to notice." Quatre closed the satchel and placed it on the floor.

"Let's spend some more time together, shall we?" (AN: No more for you people reading it. *snickers* I don't think that Serenity would be too happy)

Kyte glared up at Wufei as he cleaned her wounds.

"Will you get off?"

"No. Just deal with it until I'm done, okay?" She turned away from him as he was about to clean her cheek. He turned her back to face him. "Stop it."

****

Duo walked down the halls with Zach, both of them smiling at the fight they just saw. In all their years of knowing her, Kyte had never struck another girl that was wearing a dress. Duo let out a laugh.

"She beamed her good, huh," Duo asked, snickering. "She hasn't gotten into a fist fight like that since training."

"Yeah, I know," Zach said. "The old Kyte would have never hit a girl in a dress. But she'd always hit me whether I was in armor or not." Zach rubbed his cheek.

"Just wait until we all get into an old fashioned brawl again. It'll be just like the old days in the academy."

End Part Three.

I know. Very short, but Serenity made an appearance. More fights to come!
