Celeste: *Stares....*
Tenji: Would you get to work and gimme inspiration?
Aura: Oh right. *Does the inspiration thing.*
Tenji: Much better... I do not own anything besides Tranquility and Placidity.
Usagi was swept away by the mansion when she walked through the front foor, her wide blue eyes scanning her new surroundings with surprise and awe. Quatre smiled despite the incredulous look she shot him and Duo, and explained, "This is my home." Usagi about fell backwards, how could someone his age own a mansion so big and.. big? Wufei walked in behind Duo and shut the door, leaning against it and watching Usagi's expression as she wandered in the hall, touching different statues and staring at different portraits and paintings. "There's a ceiling mural on the top floor." He said offhandly, drawing the deep blue eyes to him. "Could you show me please? I want, I mean, I'd like to see all the art here. It's so beautiful right here..." Usagi asked eagerly, yet politely.
Duo blinked and stepped back as if he had been struck, "Wufei's showing a chick around!" He whispered urgently to Quatre as Wufei showed Usagi up the stairs. Tranquility brushed past Duo as she entered through the door, more like phased through it, and followed Wufei and Usagi upstairs. The hairs on the back of Duo's neck stood on end as he felt something touch him, something that just wasn't there, and he smelled the sweet scent of gardenias. "Do you smell that Q-man?" He asked Quatre softly, and when Quatre asked 'what?', Duo just shook his head. "Nothing, nevermind."
Usagi and Wufei were walking quietly up to the sixth floor, Usagi having yet to complain about the long climb upstairs. "So..." Wufei started, the silence suddenly eating at him. "So?" She asked with a piqued look. He shifted his gaze towards her coolly, as if he had no trouble talking to her even though he fought the urge to call her 'onna' and declare her weak. "You like art?" Her sunshine golden hair moved to fall over her shoulders as she nodded enthuiastically. "Oh yes, I love art. Music too, I play the lute." She volunteered information he hadn't asked for, and surprised, he crooked an eyebrow and glanced her way again. "The lute?" "Yes, the lute. It's a very pretty instrument, sort of... like the guitar. But it sounds better." She went on to explain to him how to make a lute, and all about how bards used them in old ages.
They turned to go up the last flight of stairs and he remarked quietly, "It seems like you know your stuff." She flashed him a quick smile that left him feeling uneasy, "I just like to know about the things I love."
As if it were an unspoken promise, he about took a step back. Usagi didn't notice and waved to him, "Race up to the top!" Not giving him any choice in the matter, she ran up the stairs with him still standing there. "Hey!" He finally burst out, and after a short hesitation, he ran after her, jumping two or three stairs to finally catch up.
She grinned impishly at him and jumped the last stair, rolled and tumbled onto the landing. "I win!" She said between gasps of air and giggles. He stared down at her, fists on his hips and a slow smirk curling his lips. Her long golden hair was tossed around her and her cerulean blue eyes twinkled with the excitement of the run. "I suppose you're happy with yourself?" He asked quietly, fighting a small fit of laughter that threatened to sneak up on him and ring throughout the still air. She grinned still as she sat up and dusted herself off, "Oh very much! I beat you." She responded finally, standing up with a quick wink. Startled again, he coughed and then gruffly pushed past her to the library doors behind her.
Blinking, she stood back and watched him. Normally she wasn't so free with her thoughts or so flirty with a stranger. But he did save her life, didn't he? He couldn't be all bad...
Wufei was a mix of emotions, he didn't like her flirting with him, and he didn't like giving into the weaker senses. She was very pretty, he would give her that, and he also had to commend her knowledge of music and her sweet attitude... No. He owed her no compliments, she was a Weak Onna. "The mural is in here." He said, shouldering the door open as he twisted the knob. Seeing the confused look on her face, he commented, "The door sticks."
Tranquility made her appearance behind Usagi as the young woman followed Wufei into the library and stared up at the mural. With her transparent fingers on the door, she thought up a plan.
Wufei shut the door behind Usagi, just in time to hear her breathless words. "It's so beautiful." He followed the lovely blue gaze upwards to the ceiling mural and quietly agreed with her. Seas of stars and a moon with a young woman reaching out to touch the earth graced their vision, a shooting star just behind her head and two faint angels at her back. Wufei silently noted the similarities between Usagi and the woman, though the painting was much more serene, older and wiser seeming. "She's so regal, and sad." Usagi said, breaking into his thoughts. He looked back at her, then at the blonde woman with her hair in the buns, hair streaming down her back and touching her ankles. Usagi's was shorter than that, and braided. He glanced again at the mural and saw what she meant, the glistening tears that were barely see-able on the painted woman's pale cheeks. "Very sad..." He voiced.
He turned his head as he heard a soft click behind him, and stared dully at the shut door. Usagi swung her wondering eyes to him, then the door as well. "What's wrong?" He raised an eyebrow, canted his head, then shook it. "Nothing... I hope." He walked over to the door and jiggled the handle, the door wasn't locked...
Wufei tried to open the door and cursed when it wouldn't budge. "Language... " Usagi whispered to herself, frowning. "What's wrong?" She asked again. "The door's stuck."
"We're stuck in here?" Tranquility heard on the other side of the door, and tried not to giggle. Well, things would be taken care of. Sometimes a Guardian Angel had to take matters into her own hands.
Wufei turned to Usagi and nodded slowly, "We're stuck in here, until Winner or Maxwell realizes we've been gone too long and comes to find us."
Usagi nodded slowly, and then sat down in a chair that the library had, her eyes once again on the mural. "That shouldn't be too long." Wufei watched her with calculating onyx eyes, and growled out in a bit of fury with himself, "Just a couple hours."
She almost fell out of her chair, her incredulous expression fixing him to the spot. "A couple Hours?" She asked, her voice rising with each word.
Tenji: Oh what a cliffie.
Aura: Shut up, we inspired you.
Celeste: Yeah, it was all us.
Tenji: Oh sissy? Placidity doesn't have a dude yet, I might just place her with Q... .. Celly. Anyways, REVIEW! I love you all!!
