Chapter 2

Office Wuffles

The office she sat in was large with a humongous oak desk in the middle. A woman with sandy hair sat behind the desk, smiling lightly. Mokushi knew this woman as Lady Une, creator of the Preventers.

Une cleared her throat and leaned fore ward, "Are you willing to take a job here, Ms. Kudo? Knowing what might happen in a mission?"

"Hai, Lady Une," she said, sitting strange while her fingers played with the end of her braid. She had never been so nervous, not even during the war, or when she met Amun.

"Completely positive?" she was being very annoying.

"Hai, Lady Une. When do I start?"

A smile graced the older woman's features, "Today. I'll take you to your.. erm.. cubicle," they both gave a small laugh before leaving the office. "Your computer is up, I am sure. You will have to get used to some of the others around here. Duo can be rather... annoying."

"I have my laptop with me and I am sure I can survive," she pulled a hand through her bangs before stuffing her gloved hands into her jeans pockets. "And I will try to come in better attire tomorrow."

"Not a great idea unless you are going on a mission, Ms. Kudo," Une frowned. "Duo is bound to cause some messy trouble in your end of the office. He throws a party for every new person over here," they walked in silence for another minute until she stopped at an empty cubicle. "Here you are Ms. Kudo. Please, before that menace gets wind of you, introduce yourself to the others," with that, she walked back to her office, leaving the braided teen on her own.

"I think I should take her advice.." Mokushi placed her laptop bag on the desk before walking along the rows of filled cubicles, humming softly to herself. She had unzipped her jacket, showing off her brand new shirt, one that had a yellow rubber ducky on it. "So... This is the Preventers... Looks more like a jacked up law firm with more cubicles than prairie dog holes..." she smirked at her own comment, but jumped when laughter came from the cubicle she had stopped beside.

"That was a good one!" a boy with pale blond hair popped up from the boxed-in so-called office. "You must be new."

"Hai," she tilted her head, raising an eyebrow like Fallon always did. "And you are?"

"Quatre Winner," his smile grew as a confused look covered her face.

With a shake of her head, Mokushi smiled softly. "Mokushi Kudo. Former OZ Colonel Mokushi, to be exact," she placed her hands on her hips. "Also, who is this Duo that Une kept warning me about? I have a feeling you might know who he is."

Quatre laughed softly then nodded, "Yes, I know who he is," clearing his throat, he looked up and yelled, "Duo! Come here!" a chestnut head shot up in the crowd of gray walls and a moment later and boy with violet eyes and a thigh-length braid was walking towards them.

Duo waved a hand, "Sup, Q-bean?"

"New Preventer," the blond motioned at the girl standing there, confused beyond looks.

"Former OZ Colonel Mokushi Kudo," she held out a gloved hand, replacing the confusion with a soft smile. Her blue bangs fell to the side as she tilted her head again, her strange eyes visible.

"Cool.." Duo seemed to be focused on her eyes more than her hand. "Whats up with your eyes? They are so cool.." his eyes then dragged themselves over the scars on her face. "You get them during the war?"

"No, I got them drag racing back on L-2- of course I did!" she rolled her eyes, hands retreating back to her sides. "Where else would I get them?"

Quatre was laughing lightly up until the point a hand found itself a place on Mokushi's shoulder, causing her to jump behind Duo with a small yelp. The taller boy blinked before a small laugh escaped his lips. His hair was a dark brown, covering his right eye. His eyes were a strange emerald, focusing on the girl behind a laughing braided teen.

"Trowa! You shouldn't spook people like that!" Quatre frowned before giving the boy a peck on the cheek. "You have time to scare her later on when she gets used to the place!"

"Its okay," she laughed nervously, playing with the end of her braid. "I'm used to gettin' the crap scared out of me. No worries."

"Another person from the war?" a cold voice caused her to jump again and she turned, staring up at a boy with brown hair and Prussian blue eyes. Beside him was a Chinese boy with dark eyes and black hair pulled back at the nape of his neck.

"Hai," Mokushi said softly. "Former OZ Colonel Mokushi Kudo of L-2," she held out a hand to them, grinning.

"I'm soooo bored!" she whined, spinning in her chair. "I've already listened to my CD's and watched the movies I brought with me! Is there nothing to do!"

"Nope.." Trowa said simply from his cubicle, which was right beside hers.

"Well, what are you doing over there, Mr. Barton?" she peaked her head over the wall, blinking at the uni-banged teen. A soft chuckle came to her ears but it didn't last as rather loud music blared from her top desk drawer. She heard Quatre scream a few cubicles down from being startled and Duo's laughing from the end of her row. "Gomen nasai!" she yelled loudly before pulling out the cell phone and answering it. "Moshi moshi?" she cooed into the phone, plopping down in her chair and propping her legs up on the desk.

"Hey beautiful," Amun said of the phone, his grin visible in Mokushi's mind.

"Hey right back to you, love," she laughed softly. "How ya been? When are you gonna get here?"

A sad sigh came from the other end of the phone. "I've been fine, but thanks to someone losing their job, we won't be getting there for some time," a couple of curses were heard from the background, obviously from Lucas, and Mokushi couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Who is it, Shi-chan?" Duo prodded into the conversation, having snuck up from his little cardboard cage and peaked over one of the walls.

She stuck her tongue out at the nosy teen. "None of your business, baka!" Duo laughed, hands in the air as if he was on a roller coaster.

"Its your happy little Egyptian luva, ain't it?" he winked at her and she could hear three people laughing on the other end. She gave a quick curse at Duo and flipped him off, only making his grin grow wider. "Come on! You can tell me!" he ran into the cubicle and grabbed the phone, saying quickly, "Hi! I'm Duo! I've heard so much about you from Shi-chan!"

"Kuso! Baka! Give it back!" she hissed, jumping at him, only to fall onto the floor. "Get back here!" she screamed and Quatre jumped from his little cardboard room, taking the phone from Duo.

"And I'm Quatre! Mokushi is-" he was cut off as said girl grabbed the phone and stalked back to her cubicle. He and Duo simply fell to the floor, supporting each other the best they could, as the laughed through tears of amusement.

"Baka!" Mokushi screamed over one of her walls before dropping back into her chair.

"They sound.. interesting," Amun said, trying to calm the laughter in his voice and as well as Lucas and Fallon, who were still heard in the background. "Friends?"

"Hai, they are friends. Too bad they aren't all like Mr. Trowa Barton on the other side of my wall here!" she knocked lightly as she could on said wall and laughing erupted from said teen. "You okay over there, buddy?" she was trying to suppress the humor in her voice.

"What is going on over here?" Wufei growled as he appeared in the opening of her cubicle.

Mokushi couldn't help herself and burst out, "Wuffles!" she fell out of her chair, laughing so hard she couldn't stop her tears. Heero came up moments later, trying to stop himself from laughing as well.

"Wuffles.." he muttered. "That's a good one."

A/N: lol. Its based off a conversation me and my dear muses had once upon a time. Sorry if you don't like it.. not.
