Chapter 6
(Rufus' POV)
When I woke up, I was staring at a ceiling that was definitely not an OZ base ceiling. I tried to sit up, and immediately had to lie back down so I wouldn't throw up. When I finally did manage to sit up, I looked around at my surroundings. There was a girl sitting on the couch watching television, and a guy was sitting next to her. She looked over at me, and I recognized her as Erishi, the prisoner from the base.
"Good. You're awake. How's your head feel?" she asked. All of a sudden, I noticed the splitting pain that was in my head.
"It hurts." I said. She nodded in understanding.
"Yep. The butt of a gun does hurt." She said.
"Where am I? Why aren't we at the base anymore?" I asked, confused.
"You're at the Gundam pilot's house, where my ex-partner and I live with them, and we're not at the base anymore, because the base exploded, thanks to the wonderful skills of Heero Yuy." She replied, and pointed at the guy sitting next to her. His mouth twitched slightly as he watched TV. "That's his version of a smile."
"But why am I here?" I asked.
"I didn't feel like letting you get blown up. And I thought you would be a good pet." She said. Another girl walked in with one arm in a cast, and she was holding a bowl of salad with a fork stuck in it.
"Hey Erishi. When you say pet, what kind of pet?" she asked slyly. Erishi glared at her.
"Sukie, you are so perverted. Why don't you go screw Quatre 'til you're both dry?" Erishi shot back. Sukie looked thoughtful.
"You know, I might just do that when he gets home. I just got off the phone with him, and they're heading here now." She said. "Thanks for the idea Erishi!" Erishi shook her head and sighed as Sukie stuck a forkful of salad in her mouth.
"Me and my big mouth." She muttered. Then she looked at me. "By the way, what's your name kid?" she asked me.
"Rufus." I replied. She grinned and threw her hands up in victory.
"Yes! I'm psychic!" she cried.
"More like psycho." Sukie said, in between bites of salad. I grinned. 'It's gonna be interesting living here…' I thought to myself as Erishi went to try and strangle Sukie.
