Leena: Where's Kay?

Bit: Yeah.

Jack: How did you open that door?

Leena: Can't you see? Kay boarded it up wrong, *points to boards; they are only nailed to door* Now where is she?

Jack: I don't know. If I did, I'd be recording what she is saying right now.

Leena: Great, this is going to be more work than needed. *Leaves with Bit*

Kay: *comes out of closet* Hey Jack, how ya doing?

Jack: *goes and locks door* You don't know how to board up a door, huh? You know, you make the worst of enemies. You're lucky you were hiding, so why were you hiding?

Kay: To tell you the truth, I would have thought that the reviewers would have been jumping up and down on my back because of the last chapter, but...I guess I was wrong... They did like it after all, and that's all that matters to me. By the way, I don't have a crush on Jack, -_- *nods head* He isn't even a real person. He is here because he is the camera dude, right?

Jack: No, I am here because I thought this was where they were giving away free nachos. What do you think Kay? *Smiles broadly*

Kay: I think you should just be recording. *Giggles* Just kidding. Thanks to everyone that reviewed chapter 5. You all convinced me that sometimes you should not jump to conclusions. Now for the Disclaimer!

Owners of Zoids: *From under my bed* YOU HAVE TO SAY YOU DON'T OWN ZOIDS!!!!

Kay: I always wondered what happened under my bed. Fine, I DON'T OWN ZOIDS! YOU HAPPY NOW?!?!?!?

Kay: Geez...No respect for the hard working writer. Now, I think that you have all heard enough of me. On with the story!

----------------------------------

The rain landed gently on the ground outside the base as Leena awoke that morning. She pulled her blankets to her neck to keep the warmth from escaping, as she lay there motionless with her eyes comfortably shut. She was warm, and felt good about it, but her mind noted something missing. The familiar presence of the sea green-eyed warrior was missing; his presence was gone. Thinking that Bit may be behind her on the bed, she moved back, only to move out of the warm space and onto the colder side of the bed; she was by herself. 'Where's Bit...' was all her mind could process in her tired condition.

"Bit," she whispered, but he did not return her low call. She slowly began to sit up in her lethargic state, and opened her eyes barely, only to stare at her blankets. 'Was it all a dream? Or was it real?' She didn't know what to believe. She remembered Bit's arm around her waist, and his other arm under her neck, 'but he would've been next to me when I woke up,' her brain shot back.

She was thinking about it so much her head began to feel like it was spinning. She lightly placed her hand onto her head to keep it from moving. It finally went back to normal, and she began to turn around to look at the rest of her room for Bit, but saw no living thing.

"Maybe it was a dream," she said to herself, as she looked back at her gray blankets. She suddenly heard the door open, and someone step inside.

"Hey babe," said the voice, "I've been looking for ya."

Leena let out a shattering scream when her eyes saw the man that had come into her room. It was Harry.

"Aren't you happy to see me?" he said confused, "I found a way out."

"I WANT YOU TO FIND YOUR WAY OUT OF MY ROOM!" she said as she jumped out of her bed and threw her laptop, which was on her desk, with all her strength at his head. Leena hit her target, leaving Harry unconscious on the ground outside her room, along with her laptop, which now has Harry's face imprinted in it. "Serves him right," she stated coldly.

Leena closed the door and dressed in her casual wear; tortoise color skirt, yellow spaghetti strap shirt, her armband, purple head ornament, and shoes. She then briskly walked out of her room, making sure to step directly on Harry's stomach with all her weight, and then heading down the hall towards the smell of food. 'Where food is, Bit must be found,' she thought.

She entered the kitchen to see Bit raiding the refrigerator as she had expected. For a moment, Leena felt like kicking Bit farther into the refrigerator for fun, and then running. However, another side of her did not want to hurt him. It felt awkward to Leena that she didn't know how to act towards Bit for once. Normally she would kick him, punch him, yell at him, steal his food, or cause an argument and then run, taunting him for being slow. For once, she didn't want to do any of those things; there were more important things to worry about at the moment, like Harry and what really happened last night which had made her feel awkward around Bit.

She walked over to him and, "Hey Bit," he did not respond. "Bit," she tried again, extending her arm to tap him on the back. The moment she touched him, he sprang out of the refrigerator, hitting her, and his head, and causing her to be off balance. Leena felt herself falling, and expected to hit the ground, but two strong arms grabbed her back, stopping her in midair. Leena opened her eyes, only to see a pair of sea green eyes staring back into hers, and a donut in its mouth. Bit had grabbed her at the last second, saving her from hitting the ground, and now she was staring up into his eyes, ready to hit him.

Bit took the donut out of his mouth and said, "Morning Leena," with his goofy smile. "Sorry about that," then pulled her up.

"Thanks, now give me my donut," she said sharply as he turned around, and grabbed his breakfast.

"So that's the thanks I get for catching you?" he questioned as he sat down at the table.

"If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have lost my balance in the first place."

"Well, if you hadn't scared me in the first place, I wouldn't have hit my head," he rubbed his head to show that it hurt, "and you wouldn't have lost your balance."

"Oh yeah," came her harsh voice, her teeth clenched together.

"Yeah," he countered, his teeth also clenched.

"Then give me back my donut."

"Just have mine."

"You don't have any."

"I guess that makes sense that I took yours. Thanks for giving it to me as a reward." Bit now wished that he hadn't dragged that conversation for so long, and said those words, because Leena smacked the part of his head that hurt with her hand. "Ouch, " he said, rubbing his head, again, while Leena snatched her donut from his grip, "so what's eating at you?" he cautiously questioned.

"Harry appeared in my room," she said, depressed, sitting down at the table, and taking a bite out of the donut she had just recovered.

"How did he get into your room if we can't get out?" It seemed as if both were frozen in place with a sudden realization. Bit and Leena stared at each other across the table, both reading each other's thoughts, before Bit asked an interesting question. "Where is he?"

"He's unconscious in front of my room."

"What are we waiting for?" Bit said standing up, causing Leena to do the same, "We can finally get out," and then he and Leena walked side by side down the hall until Harry came into view, along with the smashed laptop. "What's with your laptop?" Bit questioned as he kneeled besides Harry to check his pulse. He was still alive.

"I threw it at him," Leena admitted.

"That's a waste."

"It's Harry, Bit. He can get me a new one."

"True," he said as he grinned at her, "But don't you think he'll wonder why you threw it at him? He may not tell us how to leave the base."

"Come on Bit," she said, giving him a playful push, "It's Harry, if he asks, I'll just say I thought it was you."

"I'm touched that you would actually say such a thing," Bit said, acting like he was proud of such a crime, but in reality, he wished it wasn't like that. For some strange reason, he didn't want Harry on the ground in front of him. He didn't want a way out; he didn't want to be away from Leena.

"So what should we do with him?" Leena asked out of curiosity.

"Don't know. But he has to know the way out if we couldn't get out."

"So I can't use him as a punching bag," Leena whined.

"Unless," Bit said unhappily, yet with a smile, "you want to be stuck with me longer."

"No thanks," she said calmly, yet with a playful attitude, "Lets just take him to the couch in the main room. When he wakes up, I'll ask him how he got in and how we can get out."

"Right. You grab his arms, I'll grab his legs," Bit bent down and grabbed Harry legs. Leena followed and grabbed Harry's arms. As they walked down the hall, Leena dropped Harry a few times to make sure that he was indeed unconscious and not faking it. Soon, Harry was lying on the couch in the pit, completely out cold, and Leena and Bit were sitting next to each other on the couch across from him.

"I wonder how he got in," Bit said lazily, but Leena didn't hear, her mind was on other things.

Bit absentmindedly put his arm around Leena's shoulder and pulled her towards him a little. "You awake?"

"Yeah," Leena said as she moved away from Bit. It felt strange to Leena, being so close to someone that you somewhat love and not wanting him near you, because you don't know how to respond, even though you've known him for a couple of years.

"Are you okay?" Bit's face was full of confusion and sympathy.

Leena knew Bit didn't understand things. His mind was too childish for him to understand feelings. Maybe he did know what Leena was feeling, she just never noticed it, but she still replied to his question, "Yea-No..." she surprised herself by telling Bit the truth.

"What's the matter?" Bit questioned further, scooting close to her, but being cautious not to touch her. He did not want her to move away again.

Leena didn't like the fact that Bit was trying to help her instead of provoke her, it was nauseating, but she decided to try Bit on his understanding capabilities and tell him the full truth. "Last night, Bit. That's what's the matter," she said, as she looked straight into his eyes, trying hard not to slap him, "How long did you stay with me?"

"Leena...Nothing happened between us if that's what you want to know," Leena could tell he wasn't lying, he continued, "You were screaming and I came to wake you up. You begged me to stay, so...um...I did," he blushed furiously at the thought. "I only stayed until you fell asleep, again. I didn't mean to make you upset or anything."

"That's the thing, Bit. I want to be upset at you." As Bit looked over Leena's face, she was no longer smiling, but frowning. He also did not comprehend why Leena would want to be mad at him for trying to help her, but he figured he would never truly understand Leena.

She started to stand up, and Bit did the same. "Why?" he asked as she turned her back to him.

As Bit stared at Leena's back, wishing she would turn around, he couldn't help but admire how strong her muscles were. He had expected her to be like everyone else when he first met her, but, in time, he learned she was different. She was stronger than any girl he had ever met in his journeys for starters. Strong-willed, stubborn, a fiery temper, but good at heart once you ignored some of her traits. "You just wouldn't understand," came her ruthless voice, snapping him back to reality, as she started to move away.

Bit quickly grabbed her wrist to keep her from escaping, he didn't know why he kept her from going, but he did. He believed he kept her from going because he wanted to know what was wrong with her, but he somehow felt there was another reason.

Leena weakly attempted to pull her wrist from Bit's grip, but she couldn't. She liked his touch, she liked him. She just couldn't admit it. 'Why do I have to like him?' she questioned, 'Why? Is it 'cause I'm starting to like him?'

"Leena..." came Bit's soothing voice in her ear, "please..."

Leena wanted to turn around and hug him, but she also wanted to kick him hard between the legs, or, hey, maybe both at the same time. She was confused by her own emotions. Nevertheless, one thing surprised her, despite this commotion in her head. 'Why is Bit trying to help me? Why is he so nice? Why do I think I'm in love with him? Why does he still take my food?'

Bit cautiously moved his body so the gap between Leena and himself was eliminated. He then slid his arms around her body, holding her even closer. "Leena...I promise I won't tell anyone," he whispered in her ear, again, resting his head on her right shoulder.

Leena's whole body went numb when Bit pulled her into the embrace. It was like everything disappeared to her. She somehow didn't mind the fact that Bit came into her room anymore; in fact, she liked the fact that he wanted to help her. Leena felt lucky at that moment that Harry was not awake. She actually liked Bit being close to her and his attempt in trying to make her feel better, instead of making her feel worse by aggravating her in some way. All the confusion went away at that moment in her head, but her mind still did not agree with him, 'Yeah, him and his big mouth can actually keep the secret that you love him. Sure. He'll never truly love you. He's too cocky. He does not understand feelings. He will probably just ignore the feeling and leave you broken hearted. For all you know, he's just trying to get you to like him so he can still your food freely.' Her mind spoke the truth about Bit. He was cocky and arrogant, but he had changed from the image that had been set in her mind. She knew he wasn't desperate enough to sink to the level of trying to make her like him just for food. She had secretly liked him from the beginning. She felt the sudden urge to say something that was true about him though. "You are impossible."

"Huh?"

"Yeah," she said turning around, but still having his arms around her waist, and putting her arms around his neck, "how did you change from the cocky warrior I knew to this person?" a smile inched its way onto her face.

Bit looked into her eyes as if she had gone mad. 'Why is she questioning something that has nothing to do with this situation?' "How am I supposed to know?" 'Probably because you love her,' his voice said in his head. "Maybe because I'm...I'm actually a good guy."

"Sure," she said sarcastically, "you're a good guy," a sinister smile appeared on her face, "But why doesn't that sound like the whole truth, Bit Cloud?"

"Don't know," he said coolly, "Maybe it's how I said it."

"Okay, I'm going to workout for a while," giving him one last smile, then walking away, out of his grasp, and up the stairs, out of the pit.

"Wait," Bit said at the last moment before she left through the door, running to the bottom of the stairs.

"Huh?" she asked, looking down at Bit. 'What could he possibly want now?'

"I-I-," Bit wanted to tell Leena why he was so nice to her, and that he was starting to like her, but for some reason, he could not get out the feeling. So he made up something else, "I was just thinking that if Harry woke up...he might come looking for ya."

"So," interest gleaming in her eyes.

"So...wouldn't we want to tie him down or something?"

"I really don't think he is going to wake up anytime soon."

"What makes you say that?" a grin forming on Bit's lips.

"How hard do you think I threw that laptop at him?" A new smile plastered on her face, 'he still doesn't know me enough. He can't tell that I like him, he probably doesn't even like me. Maybe that's why I think he's cute.'

Bit only smiled back at her response as he watched her walk through the door, then watch it close, 'How come I think I'm falling in love with you, Leena Toros?'

----------------------------------

Kay: What? Why are all you reviewers looking at me that way? Okay, I know I may have not updated in a month, but school had to be my top priority. DO YOU KNOW HOW MANY PROJECTS THEY ALL GAVE AND ASSIGNED ON THE SAME DAY?!?!?! I almost got a 4.0 for my GPA, though. Dumb geometry. I just had to get a B in that class. *Curses under breath* Okay, that was the hardest class this entire year for me.

Bit and Leena: *burst through the door* THERE SHE IS!

Kay: You know, I never did get my five dollars for you two not finding me, *Bit and Leena give Kay the death look* But then again, who really cares about my five dollars you two owe me, *grabs laptop* See ya later, lovers *jumps through window, again, breaking boards in process. Lands on ground with a loud thump* Dang, this is the third laptop I broke since I started this fic, what the- *looks towards window she just jumped out of* hey, how you two doing up there?

Bit and Leena: *look down at Kay as if they are ready to torture her when they capture her*

Kay: Now lets not be too violent or anything, I still have to write the story ya know. *laughs nervously* Its PG, remember.

Leena: You can change the rating. Besides, the less you write the better.

Bit: I don't like her. *Point's finger at Leena. Bit is pushed out of window, landing on ground hard, by Leena, of course*

Leena: See? I don't like him either.

Kay: I think that Commando115 was right. I should get a zoid that cloaks itself, it would be useful right about now. *Gets up and runs in a direction away from the house* How come this seems like what I was doing earlier?

Bit: Come back here!

Kay: But then again, who really cares? *Continues to run* Hope you all like this chapter. Review if you like it, flame me if you hate it, at least give me a good reason if you want to flame me though. *Looks back, sees Bit running after her* Boy, I get my daily workout from these two, don't I? Have a nice day, and I'll make sure to post sooner, I've just had a lot to do with school projects and soccer, but school is done for this freshman, a.k.a. Fresh meat. I hope I'll have more time to do this story since summer is here. Oh, don't worry everyone, I'll get back at Jamie very soon *laughs evilly while she runs* Until next time. *laughs merrily*
