Chapter 4: Interrogation

            The day had gone slowly for Li as she lied on the bed with a tear stained face.  She had cried for what seemed forever after that incident, more out of anger. 

            A few minutes ago she had heard a knock at her door.  She had thought of opening the door, but remained still.  Who it was she couldn't tell, but decided to ignore it until they had left.

            "Like I ever want to go out there again!"

She looked at her throbbing arm with a frown.  It hadn't stopped it's painful aching, no thanks to the Chinese.  Li sighed heavily, rubbing it with her hand trying to bring a soothing end to the pain.  After the subsided some, she buried her head in the soft pillow trying to block the reality around her.

            Voices could be heard downstairs, talking about who knows what.  Every so often there would be a burst of laughter from one of them.  Its cheerful sound ringing through the empty halls of the mansion, but would often be followed by some sort of whining. 

            Li continued to stare in the soft fabric of the pillow when an idea struck her.

            "Maybe Jan-chan's awake now." 

Quickly she jumped off the bed and opened the silent wooden door.  She peered out just enough so she could see her surroundings.

            "I don't want to even see those boys faces!" She muttered quietly.

When she was sure it was clear, she hastily entered Jan-chan's room and closed the door.  To her surprise she found Quatre there, examining the braided girl once again.  Li's brown eyes caught the metal glint of a needle, which was actually part of an injection.

            "What are you doing to her?!" She exclaimed.

The blonde turned rather quickly as if startled but smiled kindly at her.

            "Don't worry.  I was just giving her something to help her, not hurt her.  Hopefully it will make her not hurt her.  Hopefully it will make her recover quickly." He said reassuringly.

Li frowned.

            "So that means she isn't up yet…"

Quatre frowned slightly, and nodded He then gently stuck the needle into the braided girl's arm.  Li watched as the clear liquid slowly drained out and cringed.

            "I don't like needles. How could she not feel that?!  I mean sure she sleeps like a log, more like a rock, but I would definitely feel that!"

Quatre chuckled quietly, then worry seemed to cloud his bright face.

            "Probably because she is still in a coma…"

The blonde gently pulled the needle out of the girl's arm.  He made sure to dispose of the needle properly.  His gentle fingers unwrapped a simple band-aid and put it on the injection site.

            "So…she's in a coma…"

Li felt a gentle hand lay reassuringly on her shoulder.

            "Don't worry," He smiled.  "She'll pull through."

Li nodded, smiling.

            "How do you know how to do this stuff?"

Quatre sighed.

            "I had to learn it in school.  Plus living with 29 sisters, people tend to get sick and injured.  I would watch our family doctor when I was little, but I cared little for it or anything for that matter. And that would also explain the reason for my ability to cook."

Li's chocolate eyes widened.

            "You have 29 sisters?!"  Her voice nearly yelled.

Quatre quickly shushed Li, and nodded in answer.  He then gestured to the door, signaling for them to talk elsewhere. Li nodded and stepped out of the room with Quatre, who shortly followed.

            "We can talk about our past later, right now I must talk to you." He whispered as he closed the door behind him.

            Footsteps could be heard nearing the hidden hall. 

            "Quatre! Quatre where are you man?"

The familiar braided boy's voice exclaimed.

            The cheerful voice echoed down the hall and reached the pair.  Li gasped and quickly pulled the blonde boy into her room, the door shutting quickly behind them.  Li gave a sigh of relief.

            "That was to close! I don't want that annoying—"

She paused looking at the sight on the floor.  Quatre had been thrown into the room, and now lied sprawled on his back with a dazed face.

            "Owwwww…that hurt…"

The girl chuckled innocently.

            "Sorry about that Quatre, didn't mean to."

Slowly the boy pulled himself off the floor and dusted his clothes.  Deep blue eyes stared in amazement at Li.

            'She could have easily thrown me across the room if it wasn't for me leaning backward!'

His hand soothingly rubbed his bruised backside.

            With an uncaring shrug Li made her way to the bed and sat heavily on the soft mattress. The blonde then grabbed the one chair in her room, dragging it nearer to her and sat with straight posture.

            His serious steady eyes studying her closely.

            "Li."

The girl looked hesitantly into the peacemaker's eyes.

            "Are you a spy from OZ…"

Li opened her mouth to protest but was quickly silenced by the raising of his hand. 

            "We will not harm you either way. You have my word.  So tell me the truth."  His voice slow and serious. Li clenched her hands in anger, a small glint of tears in her eyes.

            "No…" She paused.  "I'm not a spy! Why would I be a spy of a murderous association; an association that thinks of power and war only?!"

            The blonde could not help but look away and swallowed hard.  Should he tell her of their true occupations? No, not just yet.  It wouldn't be the right time for this matter.

            He glanced only to see small salt watery tears roll down her cheeks and land on her clenched hand.

            "Why would I be a member of a group who hurt my best friend?!"  Her eyes turning to her door as if to see the unconscious girl through it

            Quatre politely offered a tissue, which Li accepted.  The crystal blue eyes of the boy softened.

            "I believe you Li-chan." He said softly the hesitated.  "Y…You don't mind if I call you Li-chan do you?"

They both exchanged a quick smile.

            "Thank you Quatre.  Sure you can call me Li-chan and besides, you're the only nice and human person here."

The pair laughed comically together.

            "How can you live with these robots!" Li continued laughing.

            "I don't know myself! I guess you get used to them after a while."  The blonde replied rubbing his teary eyes. "Come on. I'll communicate with those robots for you!"

            Quatre stood and walked to the door.  He waited patiently for Li, and then opened the door for her.  The gentle blonde gestured for her to go through in a "ladies first" manner.  The pair walked down the hallways in total silence until they came to a hallway with a large door at the end.  Laughter could be heard from the other side. Slowly he opened the door and peered his head through.

            "Quatre!  There you are man!" The braided boy said running to him.  "I looked for ya, where were ya?!"

            Li felt a hand grab her arm and pull her.  She now stood in front of Quatre who had pulled her through the door with him.  Four emotionless faces with leering eyes glared at her.  She wanted to back away, to go hide from these people but couldn't. A reassuring hand landed gently on her shoulder.

            "This girl is innocent!" Said Quatre with authority heavy on his voice.

            "But Quatre!" Complained the braided one. 

The blonde shook his head.

            "No but Duo.  This girl has proven to me that she is no part or associated to OZ." He continued.

            "Oh yeah," Duo crossed his arms and smile smugly. "What about that mobile doll that attacked Heero?"

Quatre nearly sighed.

            "Duo you know how terrible they are at aiming, especially at us.  Besides, Heero was at the wheel, there was no way that they could get him."

Duo scratched his head.

            "Well there is no way Heero is human! Doin' all those crazy things!"  He then began to chuckle.  "Though I guess that makes more sense than what Chinses boy over there said!"

            This earned the braided one a double death glare, one from the stoic soldier and the other from the haughty Chinese.  Li chuckled to herself.

            "So the onna gets her way I see."  Wufei muttered.

Quatre then sent a glare of warning.

            "Don't blame me if we end up dead because of this onna and her lies!"

Crystal blue eyes turned icy cold and narrowed on the Chinese.

            "This subject is no longer under discussion! She will be staying here for a while!" He paused. "Please, Li-chan take a seat over there."

The blonde pointed to an empty chair that was once again next to the perfect soldier.  Duo couldn't help but snicker, and smiled smugly.

            "Since when does Quatre call a girl with chan?" He whispered to the perfect soldier next to him.

Prussian eyes only turned away from the mischievous boy.  Instead they focused on the girl next to him.

            Li felt eyes stare at her and shivered.  Slowly she turned her head in the direction of the stare she felt.  Cold Prussian met with chocolate brown.

            "I forgive you Heero." She whispered to him, smiling.

He blinked in surprise.

            They both turned their attention at the blonde who cleared his throat to speak.

            "This will be a meeting to discuss the training of this girl." He began.

            "What?!" Came the voices of Duo and Wufei, Trowa's emerald eyes only widened in shock.

About an hour later, they were all still sitting in the large library.  Duo slid back in his chair with a bored face.

            "Quatre, Are ya done preachin yet?"  He said with a heavy sigh.

   The blonde looked at him with a slight frown.

            "Very well, we can continue this once Jan-chan is here."

The braided boy practically jumped from his seat and ran for the door at the notice of the meeting's end.  Coming to a screeching halt at the door, the words had finally hit him.

            "Wait a sec, Is this Jan-chan person comin' here?!"

Quatre glanced at Li then Heero and nodded slowly.

            "Great! So when will this guy be here?!"

            "Soon…I think." The blonde replied hesitantly.

            "And if you knew anything, you'd know chan means—" Li's mouth was quickly covered by Heero's hand.

            "He should be here soon." He said in a monotone.

Wufei and Trowa looked questioningly at Li and Heero.  Duo's stomach suddenly growled loudly. All heads turned to look at the source of the noise.  Duo chuckled.

            "Hahaha…I guess I'm kinda hungry?"  He paused, quickly grabbing the door's knob. "I'm just goin' to get a bite to eat!"

With that the braided boy ran out of the room before anyone could say anything.

Li shook her head.

            'Just like Jan-chan.'

            "I guess I had better start dinner." The blonde said as he left the room.  "Or then Duo will devour whatever is left in the kitchen that he hasn't touched already!"

            Once the blonde had left, Heero leaned comfortably back in his chair and proceeded to clean his gun.  Wufei had also pulled out his prized katana, sharpening it with care.  Trowa also pulled out a gun, then another, which he laid on his lap.  Li shifted uncomfortably at the sight of all these lethal weapons.

            "Ummm…You don't actually kill people with those do you?" She said with a shakey voice.  The three boys didn't even look at her.  Li sighed as she continued to be ignored.

            A few minutes later Li could not stand the long silence.

            "Heero am I going to be staying here very long?" She asked in an attempt to break the monotonous tone of the room.

The stoic boy was now clicking and typing away on his laptop in silence. Li cleared her throat to try to get his attention again.

            "Ahem…Heero did you hear me?"

The soldier at least glanced at her before returning to his busy typing.

            "Will any on answer me?!" She said losing her patience.

            "I heard you the first time. I'm checking right now." Came a stern monotonic voice.

            "And what about my clothes? Am I going to stay in these forever?" She continued to complain.

            Heero shot a warning glare at her, and then looked once again to the luminescent screen.

            "It says here that you will be staying here at least till your training is completed."

Li's brown eyes widened.

            "What?! Let me see that!"

Heero quickly pulled the laptop away from the grabbing hands of the girl.  Li frowned, hands on her hips.

            "Fine then, and what about our families and our CLOTHES!"

Heero studied the screen.

            "It says that your families have been notified and have agreed to your stay and training at this residence."  He paused. "About your clothes, you are to stop by your home and pick some up."

Li let the rush of information sink in.

            "How could my parents allow me to stay with guys?!"

Wufie muttered under his breath.  Trowa could only look up to see the commotion.

            "So we will go tomorrow."  Heero said as he shut his laptop.

A braided boy's face peeked through the open door.  His mouth was full of a dinner roll, which he most likely stole when Quatre had not been looking.

            "Com on guyfs! Dinner'fs wready!" He cheerfully said with a mouth full of food.

            Li lay in the soft bed and stared at the silky canopy covering.  She chuckled as she remembered something.  At dinner, Duo and Wufei had gotten into an argument over the last dinner roll.  Wufei had pulled ou his katana, threatening to cut the long braid that was attached to Duo's head.  Duo, on the other hand, had pulled out his gun and aimed it at the Chinese's had, threatening to shoot it off if he did not give up the precious dinner roll.

            The strangest and unexpected thing just happened.  While the two were busy arguing and the gentle Quatre was trying desperately to stop them, the quiet Trowa had stolen the last dinner roll right out from under them.  The bickering pair stared as the long banged boy ate it with pleasure and silence. 

            Li's thoughts were interrupted with the sound of footsteps coming closer to her room.  Quickly she sat up in bed and expected it to be Quatre or maybe one of the others had found her room.  In came the wild brown haired, Prussian eyed soldier. 

            "Heero?" Li asked puzzled as to why he would even bother to see her. 

A large shirt hit her in the face, the force throwing her back against the bed.

            "What did you do that for?!" She exclaimed, her brown eyes turned to what had hit her; it was a large black shirt. "Heero?"

She looked into his Prussian eyes with confusion.  The two deep blue oceans that held a mysterious and painful past, now showed something else.   It was something that she had never seen before in his eyes. Though the two oceans remained cold they revealed a different side.

            "Li." Came the monotonic tone.

The girl swallowed.

            "Uh yeah Heero?"

He turned his eyes off her, his fist clenching.

            "I want you to know that…"

Li's hands nervously gripped the shirt.

            "I apologize for what I did to you. "

Her chocolate brown eyes softened.

            "Oh Heero..You don't have to apologize, I already knew you were sorry, and I even forgave you earlier remember?"

            Heero glanced at the black shirt tightly gripped in Li's hands, then turned away making his way to the door.

            "That's one of my shirts, so you better not ruin it."  He said over his shoulder. "Or I'll kill you…"

After he had left rather quickly, Li stared at where the handsome boy once stood, then the black shirt in her hands.  A quiet chuckle escaped her.

            "Oh Heero, you wouldn't do that!"

From down the hall a monotonic voice replied,

            "Yes I would…It will be part of my mission."

Her brown eyes widened, then a smile crept on her face.

            'No you wouldn't!'
