Warnings: Nothing that I can think of.
Chapter Four: New Roommates
"Amber, are you sure this alley is safe?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Because we're being followed."
"What? Followed?" Amber spun around and sure enough, she could make out a human shadow. "I wonder who it is? There's something oddly familiar about the way that person walks. Wait, it can't be. "NO! GET LOST!" Amber shouted at the person.
Whoever it was stepped out of the shadows. It was a teenage boy built like a football player. "I knew it. Why are you here?" Amber glared at him.
"You know why I'm here."
"Get lost you frickin' stalker!" Amber shouted.
"He's a stalker?" Duo asked. Amber just nodded.
"He's a senior at the school. For some reason he has a crush on me. He follows me everywhere. It's creepy and it pisses me off." Amber's glare intensified.
"Hey Rapunzel! You'd better keep away from my girl if you know what's good for you." the smirked at Duo while cracking his knuckles. Duo dropped the groceries and got ready to fight.
"Duo, don't fight him!" Amber shouted. Duo looked at he, confused. The boy saw his chance and punched Duo in the cheek. Since Duo was caught off guard, he was sent flying to the ground. "Duo!" Amber spun around to see Duo getting up holding his face. A small trickle of blood ran down the corner of his mouth.
"Dane, you bastard! You hurt him!" Amber shouted. While she had been turned around, Dane had gotten up behind her. He put his arms around her waist.
"You shouldn't have done that. Now, let her go." Duo voice was eerily calm.
"Why not? She's my girl. I can do whatever I want with her." Dane smirked down at Duo, who was at least a foot shorter. At Dane's comment, Amber's face paled.
"I'll only saw this once again. Let her go." Duo glared at Dane. Suddenly, a look of immense pain crossed Dane's face. He fell to the ground clutching his stomach. "Huh? What happened?" Duo asked confused.
"I kicked him where the sun don't shine." Amber laughed a little. Dane got up and ran.
"Oh. Are you ok?" he asked, laughing too. Amber just nodded.
"Why'd you try to help me? You just met me." Amber asked.
"Huh? Oh, I couldn't just let some guy do anything he wants to a girl. Especially if the girl doesn't even like him." Duo gave her a smile.
"Thank you." Amber smiled at him.
"WHAT?! I refuse to live in this onna's apartment! It's injustice!" Wufei shouted, drawing the attention of everyone in the park.
"Wufei, our tent won't keep us dry. It's better if we stay at Amber's for now. Besides, she has a kitchen!" Duo said, trying to reason with his Chinese co-pilot.
"Always thinking with your stomach, Maxwell." Wufei spat back and began cursing in Chinese.
"Wufei, we really should accept her offer." Quatre said.
"Ok, we've moved all the stuff up. Good thing you guys didn't have a lot of stuff!" Amber said as she, Heero, and Trowa walked up. "Let's go!"
"NOOOO!!!! INJUSTICE!!!!!!!!!! LET ME GO!!!!!!!!!" Wufei yelled as Heero and Trowa dragged him out of the park.
"Ok guys. This is my apartment." Amber said as the six of them walked through the door. "See that hallway leading away from the living room? There's a bathroom there. It has a shower, bathtub, sink, etc. That'll be your bathroom. You guys will sleep here, in the living room. The couches are pullout beds that can fit two people. I also have a futon." Amber said as she pointed to the things as she mentioned them.
Suddenly Wufei let out a string of Chinese curses. Everyone turned to see the Chinese boy trying to get something off his head. Whatever was on his head was small, black, and very furry. "Onna, get this thing off me." Wufei growled.
"Ok. Come her Yumi." Amber coaxed the furry black creature. When the thing had jumped into Amber's arms, the pilots noticed it was a kitten. "Don't worry. She's harmless. I'm going to get an ice pack for your face Duo. So it won't swell up or anything." Amber stopped at the kitchen door and turned to face the guys. "Oh yeah. No one goes in my room unless I give them permission too." Amber gave the guys a very icy glare. The guys were shocked by her sudden mood change.
"Maybe it's her time of the month." Duo said to no one in particular.
"I heard that Duo Maxwell! It is not that time!" Amber shouted from the kitchen. She came out a minute later with an ice pack, which she flung at Duo. It hit him on the side of his head.
"COLD!" he yelled as he grabbed the ice pack and dropped it on the floor. "Why'd you do that?"
"Because you're a little pervert, that's why." Amber said.
"Miss Amber, are you sure it's really alright I we stay here? I'd hate for us to be any trouble to you." Quatre asked.
"It's fine. I already talked to my landlady. She's fine with it." Amber said as she sat down.
As Amber was getting ready for bed in her room, she whisper to Yumi, "Do you think I can trust those guys?" All she got was a happy meow from the kitten. "You're to trusting. I wonder if they trust me? Duo and Quatre might but I don't think the other three do. I'll try to earn their trust but I won't trust them right away.
(In The Living Room)
Wufei had just gotten out of the shower when Heero asked, "Do you trust her?"
"No. She could be an OZ spy. We can't trust her yet." Wufei said, glancing at Amber's closed door.
"Do you trust her?" Heero asked the other three.
"Kind of."
"..."
"It seems to real to be an act. If she really is an OZ spy and she's just acting, then she's one heck of an actress. What about you, Heero?" Duo asked.
"Hn. I don't trust anyone." Heero deadpanned.
"Yeah. Right. I forgot." Duo said sarcastically as he rolled his eyes.
"Whatever. Remember, we need to find the sixth Gundam pilot and Gundam before OZ."
"We should get some sleep. Good night." Quatre said. He, Duo, Wufei, and Trowa all went to bed. They fell asleep quickly. Heero wasn't tired so he took out his laptop and began typing.
Amber woke up in the middle of the night when Yumi jumped on her head and began meowing loudly. "Ow. Yumi, waddaya want?" Amber whispered, then gasped. "I forgot to feed you! I'm so sorry! C'mon, let's go feed you now." Amber was wide awake now. She quietly went into the kitchen and got the food. As she waited for Yumi to finish, Amber glanced into the living room. All the boys were sleeping. But where was Heero? Amber shifted positions so she could see the entire living room.
Amber saw Heero, fast asleep, sitting in the big armchair. 'He must be cold.' Amber thought. She went to the cabinet where she stored all the extra blankets and towels. She grabbed two blankets and went over to Heero. Amber put the blankets on him gently so she wouldn't wake him up.
Heero looks so peaceful when he's asleep. When he's awake he always looks like he's mad at the world. Just then, something bumped against Amber's leg. She looked down and saw the large, green eyes of Yumi. She picked up the kitten and went back to bed.
The next morning, Amber woke up to the smell of pancakes. She got dressed quickly, grabbed Yumi, and went into the living room. All of the boys were awake except Duo, who was still fast asleep on the futon. Just then, Heero walked out of the kitchen. "Arigato." he said.
"Huh? Why are you thanking me?" Amber asked confused. Heero pointed to the armchair where the two blankets lay neatly folded. "Oh! Your welcome. It was cold last night and I didn't want you to freeze." Amber smiled. That's when Amber noticed that Heero was still in his pajamas, which consisted of a white T-shirt and checkered boxers. Amber blushed and quickly averted her eyes.
"Nani?" Heero had noticed her blush.
"N-nothing! It's nothing!" Amber said quickly.
"Ok. Wake Duo up. Breakfast is almost ready." Heero said, the walked back into the kitchen.
Amber walked over to where Duo was sleeping. "Duo? Wake up." Amber poked Duo, but he wouldn't wake up. "Duo! Wake up!" she shook him. Duo just rolled unto his stomach. "Duo! C'mon! Wake up!" Amber was getting really annoyed. She grabbed at megaphone out of nowhere and put it right next to Duo's ear. She pressed the button on it and said, "DUO! WAKE UP NOW!"
Duo, who had been sleeping peacefully, jumped at the yell. "What'd you do that for?!" he asked.
"Sheesh. You sleep like a rock. Breakfast is ready. So get up." Amber turned and left before Duo could see the blush on her cheeks. Duo pajamas were a black T-shirt and gray boxers.
"That was a good movie." Amber said as she and the five boys walked out of the theater. "I'm just glad we that Matoko or Dane weren't here. That would've-"Amber was cut of when someone out their strong arms around her waist.
"That would have been what?" asked an annoyingly familiar voice said.
"Terrible for you." Amber said as she turned around so quickly the person didn't have time to react. Amber pulled her fist back and punched the guy square in the nose. "I don't know why you keep chasing after me. You know you'll keep getting hurt."
"Because I love you." Dane said, his nose now bleeding freely.
"Shut up!" Amber shouted. She turned on her heeled and stormed off. The guys stared at Dane, then at Amber's retreating back, then back to Dane.
"Remind me never to make her angry." Duo said. "He is at least a whole foot taller than her and much bigger. She knocked him down with one punch. I wonder how she got so strong?" The guys turned and followed Amber.
READ THIS NOW!
This chapter was such a pain to write! Ok, I'm also planning on writing a death fic. It's only going to be one chapter long but I need a couple for it! You can suggest the couple. Please don't put the numbers because I only know that 1-5 are the Gundam pilots. I am so dumb! If you'd like to tell me what numbers the other people are, I'd really appreciate it! Ok, so you can request a couple and the person who dies (has to be one of the couple). I'll take any suggestions! Really, I will! Please review! It'll make me happy!
