"Bodyguard?!" Mina almost shouted in shock. She was hoping her new job would be something different from what she had been doing most of her life. She had been Usagi's bodyguard and now she was going to be having the same job.
"Yes. Ms. Aino if you want you can always back out whenever you want. I am being more than generous for your pay and the expenses of your living quarters." Relena said walking out of her office. Mina followed quickly deciding to take the job and stick with it. She followed Relena into an elevator and as the doors were about to close Heero stepped in as well. Mina glared and then looked away to the side.
"Oh yes, Ms. Aino this is will be one of your trainers. I'm sure that he can teach you many different skills. This is Mr. Yuy." Relena said pointing to Heero.
"Yes, we have met before." Mina said trying to contain her anger. Heero just looked back at her lightly before turning completely away from her. Mina inwardly groaned thinking of what kind of hell he was going to put her through. Relena was watching Mina and slightly narrowed her eyes when she had heard they had already met. 'She better not be a threat to me.' Relena thought. She turned her gaze elsewhere and put her fake smile back on.
The three exited the large office building to see a pink limo waiting outside. Mina scrunched her nose in distaste at the color of the car. The pink was so bright her eyes were beginning to hurt. The driver came to open the door for Relena and she stepped into the car motioning for Mina and Heero to follow. They reluctantly obeyed her request and climbed in.
The ride was quiet say for a few things that Relena asked Heero. Mina noted that all he answered her with were small grunts and nods. The car slowed and finally haulted in front of large black iron gates. The door was opened and they all stepped outside in front of Relena's mansion. Mina could feel her jaw fall open and thought it would be rude but for some reason she couldn't stop herself. This mansion was large beyond belief. The light colored bricks were laid beautifully to create the house and a nice walkway lead to the door. Relena smiled at Mina's awe of her house and proceeded to punch in a code. The iron gates slid open and they entered. Mina's eyes were wandering here and there looking at the various plants and flowers added into the landscape. Everything about this estate was perfect. As they entered the house Mina was silenced by the beauty of the decor. The plush oriental carpets and rugs, antique tiffany stained glass lamps, victorian style chandeliers, tables and couches. This house was more than impressive and Mina couldn't believe she was going to be staying here.
Mina was still staring around her surrioudings with such curiousity that she didn't notice Relena was holding something out for her. Mina looked at it and saw it was a credit card. "You can go and shop for your clothes. Seeing that you have no luggage and having stated before that you have no belongings you can go and buy yourself whatever it is you might need at this stay." Relena smiled and left the room. Mina pinched herself so hard she yelped in pain. No, this wasn't a dream. She was so excited she ran out of the door in a hurry to buy her things that she forgot she didn't know where she was. She came running back in the house to see a butler and Heero still standing in the entry way staring at her. She gave a sheepish smiled and asked.
"Can someone take me? I don't know where I am." Heero groaned and took his car a set of car keys from Pagan and headed to the garage. Heero unlocked the doors and sat in the drivers seat. Mina opened the door and was excited to sit in this very new and expensive BMW. She squealed as the interior was all leather with a digital system and fully loaded. Heero rolled his eyes and started to pull out of the mansion gates and heading towards the nearest shopping mall.
The two entered through revolving doors and quickly manuvered around from the fast paced crowds of people. Mina looked around frantically looking for a store to start her shopping. She spotted Neiman Marcus and decided to look there. Heero followed suit noting that she had started into a section filled with womans suits and working dresses. He quirked an eyebrow expecting this bubbly blonde haired woman to start heading off into a very preppy style store. She looked through grabbing blazers, skirts and dress pants in different patterns like solid black and pinstriped. Mina looked around trying to find Heero and spotted him leaning against a wall with his eyes closed. Rolling her eyes she approached the dazing man and tapped him hard on the shoulder.
"Come on!" Mina said struggling to keep her clothes from falling to the ground. Heero popped open an eye to see her and kept staring at her blankly. "Oh, come one. If you came obviously you're going to have to tell me what looks good professional and what doesn't."Heero just blinked. Mina growled loudly, gettting the attention of the old ladies behind the counter. She grabbed his arm and dragged him off into the fitting rooms. Mina found an empty stall and threw everything in after she seated Heero in a chair.
Heero waited watching women come in and out of the stalls giving him questioning stares. 'She's taken enough time.' Heero thought as he got up to leave. Mina flung open the door and stepped out.
"Where do you think you're going?!" Mina shouted. Heero turned slightly and his breath caught in his throat. She stood there looking very professional...and...damn well sexy. Mina stood there with a pinstriped suit with a matching skirt that was a little too short to be professional and a cream colored blouse with a the first few buttons undone. Heero looked her up and down then cleared his throat stating calmly, "That skirt is too short to be professional."
"All the more reason to get it." Mina smirked. Heero slanted his eyes before exiting.
'Anymore thoughts about her and you're going to lose your focus. You are a soldier. Nothing should faze you.' Heero waited at the counter for a few minutes before Mina came back out with all the clothes. She threw the pile on the counter and gave Heero a scowl. The old woman saw this and smiled sweetly laughing to herself.
"You two remind me of my husband and I in the days back when we were young ones." She smiled scanning some items. Mina's mouth dropped open in surprise and looked back at Heero who had a stunned look for a brief moment but was replace quickly again.
"Us?! AN ITEM?! Listen, Mrs..Mrs.Sterm. We...him and I are nothing. He's nothing but a brick brain." Mina said trying to get any ideas out of the woman's head.
"That's how it always starts out." Mina couldn't believe that this woman had the audacity to think that Mina would have no class as to like Heero who was an emotionless blockhead.
"That's $1,274.32. Charge or cash?" Mina handed the woman the credit card and she slid it through the slot of the register and she handed Mina the recipt and card back. Mina took the bags of clothing in outrage and shoved them into Heero's arms who blankly took them as she stormed out of the store. She looked around buying this and that when she found the most important store, Victoria Secret. She smiled as she entered without hesitation. Mina started picking up dozens of different printed underwear, a couple of thongs, bras, lotions and perfumes. She took the dozens of bras and went to the try them on for size while Heero sat on a bench in front of the store waiting for her come out. Heero tapped his foot lightly on the floor in annoyance until he heard a high pitched scream that belonged distinctly to a blonde he has just met. He bolted into the store, pushing random people out of his way when he spotted the fitting rooms with a familiar chestnut braided pilot standing in front of an open door with a scream emitting from inside the stall.
"DUO!" Heero shouted at the former pilot.
"Heero buddy! How are yah?" Duo said waving happily.
"YOU PERVERT! GET OUT OF HERE!" A shoe came flying out of the stall hitting Duo square in the face. He rubbed his cheek as he slammed the door shut.
"Geeze, I was just supposed to meet a blonde chick from the food courts around here and I followed the wrong one. She's got a hard throw." Duo whined rubbing his soar cheek. Heero let his breath out slowly trying to calm his racing senses. "Hey, Heero buddy, why do you have all those bags? Last time I recall you don't wear suit skirts," Duo said peeping in the bags.
"We have a new associate." Heero stated flatly. The fitting room door flung open as Mina stomped her way over to the two.
"YOU! You need to learn how to knock!" Mina said pushing the hair out of her face as she flushed from her anger. Duo put his hands up in defense.
"I'm sorry! I got the wrong blonde!" Mina rolled her eyes and paid for her things returning to the two.
"Let's go Heero. I'm done."
"Wait, she's the new associate?" Duo said looking at Mina from head to toe. "Damn, why can't we get more girls like her?" Mina growled.
"You're kidding right? I have to work with a pervert?" Mina said frowning.
"Listen babe, I'm not a bad guy. It was an honest mistake. I promise not to pull any strange stunts. Trust me, I'm a really fun person. I just can't promise that you might fall in love with me." Duo smiled wiggling his eyebrows. Mina groaned loudly and headed out.
"Life is just peachy."
How did you like it?! I know this one was kind of short but because of my AP classes, tennis and other stuff I can only write briefly. Thank you for all the great reviews! Keep them coming! I want to know your thoughts. Muahz~
Oh yea and thanks to Transcendent, Silver and Aino Yuy for always giving me tips and making me laugh. ^_^
