Rouge Angel
By Chikara-Yuy
Okay I owe most of this chapter to my best friend who helped write it.
I hope you enjoy this chapter, and I am sorry for not updating this for so long.
Now then on with the fic!
Kari woke with a slight jump, beads of sweat dotting her body. Taking in gulps of air, she placed the palm of her hand on her right cheek. Kari gazed at the ceiling.
'weird dream.' She thought.
Light snores to the left made her head turn in that direction. Heero lay with his head on his arms, which were crossed on the bed, right by her hip. His chocolate hair was messier than usual, and his clothes were rumpled. Taking in his position (hunched over in a chair) Kari winced, knowing he'd probably be sore when he woke. She leaned over so she could see his face. He looked… relaxed. Kari felt her cheeks burn.
'Well, when he isn't starring at you like you aren't some glob from the great beyond he's kinda…cute.' Kari froze. 'Cute? What the hell-'
Heero moaned groggily, indicating he was waking up. His eyes opened and met sea-green orbs. Kari sorta forgot that her face was only inches from his. Heero seemed un-bothered by this little fact, even if his heart was pounding a hundred miles per hour. As he rose, his lips brushed hers ever so softly. They stopped moving.
'Oh my god, what's going on?' Kari thought in surprise and delight.
'How come I never noticed how beautiful she is?' wondered Heero suddenly.
He reached forward, a hand on her shoulder in a light touch. Butterflies soared through Kari's stomach when she realized Heero was going to kiss her. their lips met and the world exploded.
Quatre frowned at the small pile of mail in front of him. He sat at the head of the large table in the dining room, Trowa to his left and Wufei to his right. Plates of steaming food were set along the table, the aroma's filling the room.
Duo bounded in, grabbed a plate, piled on food, plopped down the seat next to Trowa, and gobbled up his breakfast. "Duo, eat right." Said Quatre in a quiet warning.
"Yes mother," replied Duo. He began to eat like a normal human being.
A few moments later, Kari walked in, lips swollen and just a little flushed. Everyone took note of this but said nothing. Duo was in the middle of a stupid joke.
"Duo, shut up." Kari said in an even tone."
"Yes father." Said Duo mentally thinking that someone hadn't had their coffee yet.
"What?" Kari said.
Duo nodded at Quatre. "He got onto me, and I called him mother. I couldn't call you mother because of that so I said father instead."
"Well stop."
"Okies."
Heero happened to sit down at the table right then, his head drenched. Wufei, Trowa, Quatre, and Duo looked at the pair, then at each other. Wufei coughed.
"So," said the Nataku pilot after a short silence, "how'd you guys sleep?"
"Fine." Came Kari's instant reply.
"That's good," Quatre commented. "No problems when you woke up, right Kari?"
Kari felt her cheeks once again blush. "No."
"Alright I wouldn't want you two to do something that would end badly."
Heero threw his fork onto his plate. Heads turned to him. His face was flushed in anger.
"For god sakes, it isn't like we had sex or anything."
"But you were kinda close to it, right buddy?" Duo said with a quirking eyebrow and a knowing grin.
Kari and Heero's eyes widened. Truth be told, if Heero hadn't stopped….
"Actually…" Kari started.
Trowa raised a hand for silence.
"Don't unless we ask or you feel you would like to tell us, keep your personal life to yourself."
"Alright," they replied.
"Oh, by the way Yuy, why is your head soaking wet?" asked Wufei.
"To cool me off," said a once-again- in control Heero.
"Before I forget, we were invited to a Valentine's party," Quatre told them.
"Count me out," Kari said.
"No." Heero said at the same time.
"Heero, Kari, you are both going."
"Negative 04."
"I am not going."
"Yes, you both are."
"Not," said Heero and Kari together.
"Yes."
"No."
"Yes."
Quatre who had been holding a carving knife to carve the ham that had been cooked for breakfast. He slammed the point into the table, the loud noise making everybody jump.
"You…Are…Going." Quatre spaced his words and his voice was icy and low.
Kari and Heero nodded.
"Good." Said a Cheery again Quatre. Everyone sweat dropped.
"You have run into one slight problem Quatre," Kari said sweetly. "I don't have a dress, oh, well, I guess I can't go." She put on a fake look of disappointment.
"Wrong again!" Quatre said to her in the same cheery tone.
"When was I wrong the first time?"
"When you said you weren't going."
Before Kari could reply, he continued. "But, we can solve this dilemma by going to the mall."
cliff hanger!
