CH 27: Trowa Barton from Gundam Wing
Walking Mountain
"You girls suck."
"Oh come on!"
"No! You know how I feel about these things, and then THIS is what you go and get me as your 'favor' for me getting you food from that place across town?"
Xander eyed the costume in more than mild disgust. He was going to have to ask Giles just how hard he was training the girls to have them pull a stupid stunt like this. Honestly, they knew better!
"But the books are great!"
"Maybe for someone who likes that wishy-washy romance, but not me!"
"Well you're stuck anyway, no time to get a new costume before we have to get there, and all the stores are closed now."
Snarling enough to make even the blonde a little nervous he grabbed the costume and walked towards the Summers' bathroom to change. At least Joyce was yelling at Buffy for that last bit of snide she got in.
He looked around, trying to fight off a headache from the massive amount of noise. One moment he'd been playing baseball with his family, the next he was in the middle of a mob of monsters!
"Xander!"
He wanted to tell the girl to stop but she was moving too quickly for her to slow herself down and he was off enough that he didn't want to move and hurt some innocent.
His eyes nearly bugged out of his head when she ran right through him.
"Bloody stinking…. stupid-head… dumb blonde…"
The muttering of invectives continued as Xander walked down the hall, very aware of his change in living status. Gold eyes and a hankering for bear greeted him in the morning and the day had gone downhill from there.
He couldn't go to school, not with what happened when the light hit his skin, especially bare. The thirst thing he could handle for the most part. He had no desire to hurt anyone and the butchers were good at keeping things in stock, and the hunting outside Sunny-D was pretty good, even if there weren't any bears.
There was on upside though. Newbies bouncing off him when they tried to hit him, or busting their fangs on his skin? That was pretty cool. And the added height and muscle wasn't bad at all.
He might as well be a walking mountain.
