Throbbing pain was what he felt. Slowly opening his eyes Trowa was thankful
who ever was kind enough to leave the lights on low so not to hurt his eyes
with bright light and pain. A familiar voice floated to his ears.
"Good they are waking. Go tell the Lady's." Sitting up he found the speaker. Sally Po turned her attentions to him and smiled.
"Since you are up you can help me get the others up. To think you have been down for four days because of a little knock out gas."
His eyes widened a fraction. Four days?
"They were giving us drugs to keep us weak."
Sally nodded and laughed. "I know I found it in your blood system. I was just having fun teasing you and getting practice in for the others."
Trowa gave a curt nod before getting up off the table. Once he stood he looked around to his other comrades. The last time he had seen Heero look that peaceful he had been taking care of the boy. Dou was drooling and giggling about something. Wufei had a pleasant smile on his face, as did Quatre. A thought struck him. If Sally had been looking at that moment she would have seen a huge smile cross his face that was known to only been seen on Dou.
"Sally do you have a gun I can barrow for a moment."
Sally looked up from Dou's monitors and gave the boy a quizzical look. When she realized she wouldn't get anything else out of the boy she shrugged and handed over the gun at her side. Trowa looked it over before cooking it and raising it above his head. Sally's eyes went wide and covered her ears. Trowa let a few rounds off into the ceiling. The four still sleeping sat up wide-awake, fell off the table, or lept to their feet eyes scaning for and enemy.
Trowa calmly handed the gun over to Sally who was chuckling.
"Though I do disagree with you methods it was quite effective." Wufei's head perked up at her voice.
"Onna what in Nataku's name are you doing here?"
"I was asked to come here at the request of attending to friends." A knock came from the door before a maid let herself in.
"The Lady's are in the gardens. They ask you to escort the young men themselves."
Sally clapped her hands together and spun around to face the boys.
"This is going to be fun. Follow me gentlemen and your questions shall be answered."
Sally practically bounced out of the room with joy. The boys followed a little skeptical at her sanity. They walked through a small manor. They had ceased asking Sally anything she refused to talk. When they reached the back patio the boys was met with thirty-three acres of garden. There were different gardens and mazes one could be entertained by.
Sally led them down the stairs and headed towards the back of the garden. Leading them through ten different flower gardens each only having one type of flower in it. A wall of brick and ivy surrounded the last garden they came to. At the gate that would permit them entrance Sally paused and gave the boys a quick good luck before ducking in first. Music could be heard being played as well as swards clashing with each other. Once Sally was through and the door closed behind her all noise ceased.
"My Ladies, the young men are here."
The boys looked at each other. Each as confused as the other. Sally came back and held the door for them. Once they were through she bided them good- bye and headed back for the house.
Once through the passageway the found themselves before a rather large pool a few feet from the pool was a small concert stage that held a grand piano, three types of guitars, two violas and violins, a keyboard and drums. A small gazebo covered in vines with a swing. On the far wall was a building with a large Bar-b-Q grill attached. The space held more but a voice called out to them preventing them from taking it all in.
"Are you coming in or not 'cause I am not going to come over their and drag you. You are big boys and can walk on your own." Next to the grill was a tall short sandy haired woman wearing green, black and red baggy gi pants and a muscle shirt pulled up in a knot. A tall brunette came out of the building and glared at the other women.
"Be nice." She walked over to the boys. "Glad you could join us. We have been waiting for you to awake." She seen they were still tense and smiled. "Don't worry nothing should come of harm to you here. Why don't you join us at the grill? The others are inside and cleaning up. Once we are all together things will be told for you to understand."
They followed her over to the grill and found picnic tables set up for more than just them. A laughing scream came from the building as four teenagers tore from the door and ran towards them running each wearing the same dress only different colors. When in front of the tables they came to a halt still laughing and turned to the doorway waiting for someone.
Their appearance surprised the boys. They had seen weird things but nothing like this. It wasn't their hair color that bothered them to much it was in the way they had their hair done up. Sure it was hard to explain Trowa's bang thing but this blew it way. One girl had red hair pulled high with four gold bands in different palaces along then it was wrapped with black ribbon to the end with a little puffball of hair ending it.
The next girl's hair was green. It had three ponytails, two-hung low the other was high. All standing straight out from her head. The two lower ponytails seem to wrap in brown ribbon each with a fluff of hair sticking out reaching to her knees. The high tail was made the same way as the other two only three different strands came together at the end. The same brown cord wrapped around her head at leas three times.
Pink was next her wasn't as bad. Hers was pulled back to a bun with a yellow ribbon tied in a bow attached to it. From the bun two loops of braided hair protruded from either side as well as two braided ponytails that hung straight and down ward. Like the green ones they reached at least to the knees.
The last really had them. Light blue hair pulled into a bun at the top. A thin black ban surrounded her head just above her bangs. From the band at least six pony tails only three or four inches long hung from it. They were the same as the others stiff. Little ball of hair ended them.
A screech came from the building. "You four are so DEAD!" another pink haired girl stormed out of the door. She wore white short red shorts and a half red jean button up shirt. Her hair was pulled into two cone shaped buns with hair trailing out of them loosely almost reaching the ground. Eyes a deep maroon color.
"How could you!?"
"You will get over it." green said.
Blue giggled. "It is not like you will die of embarrassment."
"Embarrassment!!!!" the boys swore she broke she sound bearer. "You sent that letter to..too.AHHHHHHHHHHHHH. I will kill you!" she launched herself at the four only to have the burnet grab her out of air.
"That is quite enough that. You were taught better manners than that. Besides we have guest."
The girl snorted. "If they are family then what is the point?"
Another figure emerged from the door. A woman with short blue hair and glasses came out caring a cups and a pitcher of lemonade.
"The point is you are a young lady and should act like one."
"This coming from girls who use to chase after any cute looking guys and had pointless fights and arguments. What was the old saying? 'He looks like my boyfriend Freddy.' 'No, we shouldn't watch' and yet never looked away."
Glasses and Burnett blushed. Tall blonde broke out laughing.
"Ouch that was a big burn." The two turned to her.
"Like you were any help?" Glasses said.
Burnett snorted. "All she learned from you was how to swear and spit and change a spare."
Tall blonde flashed a toothy smile. "If she was going to learn it some where it would be better from someone she knew than from some stranger."
"What in the name of the moon is going on here." And new voice echoed around them. Looking to the entrance of the little alcove a woman with short black hair marched over to them. " I could hear you all the way to the house." She looked pass the group of females and noticed the boys. A frown crossed her face. Purple eyes turned to the females and the boys swore they all shivered.
"Let me guess we haven't introduced ourselves to our guest while we are making idiots of ourselves." Her voice was soft but held strength in it that held a 'don't challenge me' quality.
Cone girl pouted and crossed her arms still being held off the ground. "It isn't my fault! The Quartet started it!" Black rolled her eyes.
"Tell me about it latter. Now how about we turn ourselves around apologize and let these poor boys know who you are!"
The tall blonde pointed the spatula she had been using at the grill at black. "Oi, when I the moon's name did you start bossing me around twrip?" Black just calmly looked at tall blonde and crossed her arms. Tall blonde sighed and muttered. Black turned to the brunette.
"Would you kindly release her so the introductions can start."
The burnet, glasses and the Quartet had been chuckling at the little play between the two. As for the boys it was amusing but they were still lost. Once placed back on the ground cone girl straightened her close before addressing the boys.
"I am pleased to welcome you hear today, I am Small Lady Serenity Usagi Tsukino. Most that knows me refers to me as Small Lady or Chibi Usa. Which every you prefer is fine with me." She motioned to the Quartet. "These are my comrades as well as friends."
Pink one bowed first. "A pleasure to meet you. I am Lady Ceres. Everyone calls me CereCere."
Blue went next. "Hiya I am Lady Pallas, but I like PallaPalla better." She gave them a cute smile.
Red flashed a V sign. "I am Lady Vesta but VesVes works for me."
Green stood with her arms crossed and never looked at them directly. "I am Lady Juno. Call me JunJun."
PallaPalla began to giggle. "We know who Trowa is, don't we?" the boys looked at Trowa who had a light pink tint and gave a small cough. Dou nudged him playfully.
"Oh really Trowa." Trowa looked down his nose at him.
"At the circus." Dou turned to the girls.
"Hey, that is where I heard your names before. You're the Amazon Quartet. Cool."
Quatre looked at the girls even more confused. "The circus?"
Chibi Usa snorted. "They are show offs. For fun they perform in the circus whenever they fill like it. Girls tell the boys your specialties."
"CereCere or Flowers and the Trapeze."
"PallaPalla of balancing balls."
"JunJun of acrobatics."
"VesVes the animal trainer."
The girls were about to tease Trowa more before the older ones stopped them. Black giggled at their antics.
"Small Lady why don't you and the Quartet go and fetch your mother. She is in the circle."
Whatever the circle was it quieted the group down Sadness seemed to creep into their attitudes. Chibi Usa gave a small nod before motioning for the others to follow. Once the girls were out of the gated entrance did the women turn their attentions to the boys. Glasses was the first to speak. She gave them a polite bow.
"It is an honor to have you here at out home. I am Lady Mercury Ami Mizuno. Please call me Ami."
Brunette went next. She gave them a wave and a smile. "I am Lady Jupiter Makoto Kino. You can call me either Mako or Makoto doesn't matter."
Tall blonde gave them a salute with the spatula as she tended the grill. "Lady Uranus Haruka Tenoh. Haruka please." She emphasized the please with a glare.
Black rolled her eyes and muttered something under her breath. She placed a hand over her hart and gave them small bow of the head. "I am Lady Saturn Hotaru Tomoe. You mar refer to me as Hotaru." She ended with a small smile. "All we wait for now is the Lady of the House to appear and then we can talk. Till then why don't we eat something before Haruka-chan begins to pout."
Haruka turned around. "Hey, what is that suppose to mean? I can cook yeah know."
Makoto put an arm around her. "But dear not as good as I can."
Haruka humphed and turned back to her cooking. Wufei looked at his comrades.
"Those names are familiar to me." Heero grunted and got the attention of everyone.
"Tenoh, Haruka: a world famous Race car driver and motocross as well as a accomplished piano player and composer. Kino, Makoto: famous chief known for her diversity in dishes as well as restaurant chain. Mizuno, Ami and Tomoe, Hotaru: popular in the medical field for their miraculous healing of patients. Them and a few others disappeared less than twenty years ago."
The boys looked at them for answers. The girls shifted nervously and shared a knowing look.
Hotaru spoke. " We must wait for my Lady. She will want to be here. We cannot say anything till then. We mean no harm to you." She left no room for argument with her commanding voice.
