A/N: Sorry it took so long to get this chapter up. Blame it on Writer's
block and other stupid things due to the fact that my mind runs a mile a
minute so I can't always keep up with it. *groans* Due to this fact, I've
lost track of what fics I've started and ended. Thank you to Danceingfae
and Showndra Ridge for reminding me that this fic was still unfinished.
Chapter 5
"Trowa gets to know Faith.Kinda"
Trowa leaned against the tree and put his foot on it. Faith walked around. Her light brown hair fell into her face. She took her hair out of the pony-tail and let it hang loose. Trowa watched her hair hang loose.
This is going to be hell for the next two hours, thought Faith. She placed her hair back in a pony tail.
Trowa watched as Faith shook her hair. He loved the color of it. It had one of those cinnamon brown colors to it. It reminded him of the lion's mane back at the circus he normally worked at with his sister.
He noticed just how thin and well shaped she was. Her black suit covered her body but was fitted. Her stomach and arms were well toned. She looked so fragile though. Trowa thought that it added to her possible deadliness.
"Jeez, you're too quiet," said Faith.
"What's there to talk about?" asked Trowa.
"A lot. Well, you can start with where you're from," said Faith.
"I'm from Colony L-3," said Trowa.
"And that means what?" asked Faith.
"It's a colony in outer space," said Trowa.
"You are a man of some mysterious world! I mean, outer space, colonies, I don't know what any of these things are," said Faith, frustrated.
"You don't know what outer space is?" asked Trowa in shock thinking that it was common knowledge.
"Well, no," said Faith sounding embarrassed.
"Well, when you go into the sky and go outside the planet's atmosphere, you hit outer space," stated Trowa.
"You mean the blanket Macaonia, goddess of night, puts over the earth to make it dark outside? That blanket's called outer space?" asked Faith in confusion.
"No. Not quite. There is no blanket. As you get away from the blue sky, which is only the light's reflection of the water into the sky, it becomes darker and blacker. You then see the stars which are nothing but big balls of gasses," explained Trowa.
"The stars are the gwannos' holes in the blanket. They were sent up to the sky by an ancient king who felt the world was too dark. These birds created holes in the blanket after eating away at them," argued Faith.
"That's not how it really is," argued back Trowa.
"Your world is quite odd," sighed Faith.
Faith sat on the ground and looked around. She sharpened her katana. She looked up at the moon and sighed. She wanted to be home. Not on this wild goose chase for three guys, one of which was from a world she REALLY had no understanding of.
She looked at the young man, who was petting a set of rabbits that came close to him. Slowly, she shook her head and looked back into the woods. What an odd young man he is, thought Faith as she looked back at her katana.
Suddenly, the rabbits ran away, as if frightened by something. Trowa and Faith picked up on it and got to their feet. Slowly, they let their eyes wander towards the forest. Their thoughts were obviously the same.
"We're not alone," said Trowa and Faith simultaneously.
Trowa and Faith walked over to their other companions. Trowa went to Leonardo and Hope. Faith went to Legolas and Destiny. Gently they roused their companions from their slumber.
"What's wrong, Trowa?" asked Leo, groggily.
"I think we've got company," said Trowa.
"Yes, we do. I can hear them in the forest," said Legolas as he got to his feet and slung his quiver on his back.
"As can I. We should have weapons at ready and prepare to fight," said Destiny.
Leonardo unsheathed both his katana and handed one to Trowa who took it gratefully. Legolas and Destiny strung their bows. Hope and Faith drew their swords. They all watched for any signs of an attack. They knew it would only be moments that they would be attacked.
A/N: This was a hard chapter to write since for those of you who know Trowa Barton, you know that the guy says like nothing! So that didn't help me in my writer's block much. Please review so I know what you all think! Thank you!
