Chapter 5: War sucks, but hugs are nice
Zilda awoke to the noise of people moving and the house- hold waking up. She got up and her neck was stiff from sleeping in that uncomfortable position. She walked to the kitchen and found Quatre and Trowa there having some tea.
"Um is there some where I can take a shower?" she asked hardly loud enough for anyone to hear. Trowa really wondered why this girl was so soft spoken and shy. "Oh yeah the bathroom down stairs doesn't have one but the up stairs one does." "Do you want me to show you?" asked Quatre. "Sure" she said. "Do you know where my back pack is?" she asked as they were walking up the stairs. "Oh yeah it's in Duo's room wait here and I'll get it." Quatre came out and gave it to her "this way" he said. When they got to the end of the hall Quatre turned to her "this is it" he showed her where the towels were in the pantry and soap and shampoo." "Trowa said to wash your wound carefully because him and Heero are taking out your stitches today." "Like hell they are!!!" And with that she shut the door.
It felt so good to wash off all the filth all the dried blood and dirt. She washed her hair, then rinsed off and got out. She dried off and looked in her bag. She pulled out a small tee shirt that said "War Sucks" and a pair of black jeans; She then realized the band she had been using to tie off the end of her braid had broken when she took it out. She was so mad she hated wearing her hair down.
Just then there was a knock at the door. "Are you okay in there?" She new that voice, it was Duo. "Um Duo do you have a hair tie I can borrow?" she asked as she opened the door. "Sure do," he said as he grabbed her hand and dragged her to his room.
He had her sit on his bed, which kind of made her fell uncomfortable, and took the brush she still had and her hair and started to brush out the tangles. "So do you want me to braid it?" he asked, she smiled and said yes. It took him only minutes to braid it all up and then he got up and walked her around so she looking right at her. She had her eyes closed, and was smiling. "So how does it look?" She opened her eyes and looked in the mirror at her hair. Dou had done a great job. She looked up at him and smiled at him he smiled back at her, and she said some thing under her breath. "What was that you said?" "I just said no one has ever brushed my hair for Me." and she looked down again. "Oh well I loved doing it you have such beautiful hair and it was fun." Duo brushed some of her long bangs out her face and smiled down at her. She didn't know why but she reached out and did the same for him. All of a sudden she had strong arms wrapped around her as Duo pulled her in for a hug, at first her mind screamed out to pull away but her heart had to argue, so she gave him a weak hug back. When she looked up at him he was smiling down at her again and she blushed. He motioned for them to get going so they went down stairs to eat.
Trowa and the rest were already sitting down. "Nice shirt" Wufei said as he read it. Heero looked up and a smile crossed his lips, Quatre and Trowa also looked and Quatre stared laughing. Duo hadn't noticed and read it aloud "war sucks" "you got that right!" So they sat down and stated to eat. Trowa watched as she picked at her plate she ate more than before but still not that much. "So how old are you?" Heero was staring at her and he intended on getting an answer. "That's none of your business, but I'm 13." "How come when I looked up your file on the computer it was non existent?" She shot him a look equally matching his. "What the hell are you doing looking up my personal file any way?" "Well I wanted to no if you were an enemy or threat to our missions." "Mission who are you guys, police or something you look awfully young to be police?" "No we are Gundam Pilots." Every looked at Heero, they didn't think he would want her to no. "Really?" "Cool, so you are the guys that have been giving Oz hell, well don't worry, I have my own grudge against Oz and your secret is safe with me." "Hn" was all Heero said.
