Part Four
By Duogirl
You know the drill. Disclaimers apply and don't steal the fic.
Enjoy! and don't forget to tell D-chan what you think.
Relena handed him a pink invitation that reeked of blue berry perfume.
"Also I would like you to give these to the other pilots. Oh yeah Bring a date." Relena said handing him four other cards. She stepped closer to him and whispered "Tell the others to bring a date, but you're date will probably already be there."
She looked at Dorothy who was chatting with a group of girls.
"Thanks Relena. I'll give these to the guys." He said and left for the front gate where he was supposed to meet Trowa. Man, I hope that Max is still alive when I get back, ... no... I hope Wufei is! He thought. Trowa walked up and Quatre handed him his pink invitation. Trowa looked at the invitation then back at Quatre.
"You're going cause I am."
*****************
Max got off the bike and turned to Wufei who was standing beside her, looking at the giant red wood in front of them. They had driven to the national park. He started walking and she followed closely. He sat down beside a small stream that ran cool with beautiful clear crystal water and she sat beside him. Wufei sighed and tossed a small pebble into the water. Max looked at him and scooted closer; laying her head on his shoulder. He froze at the contact but put his arm around her shoulder and pulled her close.
"You know it should be a crime to play with peoples emotions, right Wufei?" She said snuggling closer to him.
Does she know what I was trying to do? Well I was only supposed to pretend to fall in love with her, but I guess I failed.
"What do you mean?" He said pulling back so that she could see in his eyes.
She looked up and sighed. "Nothin'" and lay her head back down on his shoulder. He put his other hand on her leg and patted it.
"Ahh." she grunted in pain, and jerked out of his arms. "Don't do that please." She begged.
He felt hurt; he didn't know what he had done. She brought her knees up and held them close to her chest turning her back to him.
"Max what did I do?" She kept her back to him and put her head in her knees. He got on his knees and got closer to her.
"Please tell me what I did." He whispered sweetly in her ear.
"You didn't do anything. I just have a bruise there. I have them all over."
"Where did yo...."
"NOWHERE! MIND YOUR OWN BUISNESS!' Max shouted. She turned around to see the hurt in his eyes.
"Wufei, I am so sorry. I just don't. . can't .."She started to say before her tears tore her open and she just broke down and cried. She cried until she shook all over.
Wufei had never seen anyone cry with such . . . fear. Without thinking he wrapped his arms around her and took her into his lap.
"Shhhhh Shhh." He cooed, rocking with her until the sobs passed.
"Wufei I. . . "
" Please call me Wu." He said .
" I lived with a guy that had a . . . .temper control problem. And whenever he wouldn't get his way , , , he took it out on me. I'm usually not scared of any thing but Wu, I am scared to death of him." She put her arms around him and hugged him tight. He squeezed her back.
"He won't hurt you any more, If I have anything to say about it. I will protect you. "He helped her stand, looking toward the sky.
It was getting close to sunset, and he turned to her to tell her that they had better get back. She pressed one finger against his lips already knowing what he was going to say. She smiled like nothing had happened and hugged him. Then they walked back to the motorcycle, fingers intertwined.
*********************************
"WUFEI! Dammit! Where are they ? It is ten o'clock!" Quatre yelled as he paced back on forth in front of the fireplace.
Trowa sat on the couch watching an angry Quatre wear a whole in the rug. Heero was in his room already asleep. Duo walked in stirring a cup of hot tea.
"Come on Quatre. Didn't you see the way they were looking at each other? They are probably off in the woods some where jacking up." Duo joked.
Quatre turned and gave him a very Heero like death glare.
"That's what I am worried about, Mister Maxwell!" he snapped.
Outside Wufei and Max came walking up the sidewalk.
"Ok, Max listen they will expect us to hate each other, so we'll have to act like that around them at least for tonight and maybe a little of tomorrow. I am sure you don't want your uncle lecturing you about how to stay away from me, and I sure don't want him biting my head off for you being two years younger than us and all." Max nodded.
She pushed the tips of her fingers to his lips then to her own. "I am a good actress, I think we can do this."
She walked in front of him and put a very agitated mask on. She swung the door open and stomped in.
"I have never been so insulted in all my life! Me? Weak! Whatever! Grrrrrr" She yelled as she stormed out of the room.
She turned, once she was out of the guy's sight, and turned to see what Wufei would do. He walked in his arms folded across his chest and fire glowing deep in his eyes. Max saw the fire and knew that it wasn't from hate, she also knew her uncle and the others thought it was from hate.
"Insolent woman, 'Does this fit, Does this make me look fat?' God I never want to hear a woman again." he said in his best imitation of her voice.
Quatre let out a deep sigh of relief. Trowa chuckled at the predictability in the actions that had been taken Duo cocked his eyebrow wondering if Wufei had ever even been with somebody. Wufei stormed out the back door. He's good. He's real good. STOP IT MAX! He doesn't love you. Men do not know the meaning of love... he is just using you. Whatever! He does love me and I know it! Max thought to her self.
She snuck silently out the back door to see Wufei was standing in the middle of the large back yard. She ran up behind him and tackled him. He rolled over stunned to see that it was Max that had taken him down. She smirked down at the helpless boy underneath her. He put his hands in the bend of her back and jerked. She felt her body hit the ground. She opened her eyes and saw that he was straddling her smiling. He stood up and looked down at her as she sat up and caught his eyes. She jumped up and wrapped her slender arms around his great abs.
He put his warm hands against her cool face and she leaned into them. He tilted her chin up. They were so close to each other they could feel the other's body heat. She could smell the musky sweat that streaked down his face. She pulled away from him and slouched down behind a tree. He looked at her and jumped when a small hand landed on his shoulder. He turned around in one fluid motion. Quatre was holding a pink letter in front of Wufei's face. Wufei took the letter and stared at the blonde.
"You are supposed to bring a date, I was going to ask you if you would mind taking Max, but since you two are such enemies, do you think that Heero, or Duo would mind taking her?" Quatre asked.
"I can take her. I mean we don't have to stay together right!"
Quatre nodded. "I will try and fight her in to a presentable dress."
Quatre turned and walked back to the house. Wufei turned to find his soon to be lover, but she was nowhere to be seen.
*************
Max climbed in to the window to her room and sat down on the floor. Halo had some how found her way into the house and she curled up in Max's lap. Max got up and took Halo and sat her on the bed. Max walked over to the floor length mirror in her room and looked at her self. She wasn't fat, but she wasn't too skinny. She had gorgeous long legs, except for the bruises on her upper thighs. She was rather busty up top, so she would have to buy her self some as her mother had called 'braziers'. She looked around the room and switch the light on.
"This room is to cheery, huh Halo? Well I can get that when I sneak out to go buy my necessaries."
She walked out the door and turned to go up the stairs. She walked up t o the second floor. She walked by the first one which had a sign that read "Shinigami's Shrine". She knocked on the door of the second room and Trowa opened the door. She smiled at him as she almost broke her neck to meet his eyes.
"Umm, Trowa I was wonderin' do you know where Uncle Quatre is?" She said in a sweet voice.
Trowa looked down at her and actually smiled, well as much as he could smile. "Hai, Follow me."
He walked out of his room and led her up to the third floor. There were two master bedrooms on this floor. Quatre had turned the first room into a study, a band hall, and a library. Trowa opened the door and walked in. He stepped to the side and she was able to hear and see Quatre playing his violin.
Trowa walked over and picked up his flute, and started playing the same song that Quatre was. She looked at them in awe. It was a beautiful lullaby one that she had heard when she was younger. Quatre stopped and looked at her. He smiled.
"I was thinking of the song your mother used to sing us to sleep. Did you want something Baby Max?"
"Yeah I just wanted to say I am going to bed now, so don't let any of your friends come in ok. I am going to lock the door. Good night Baby Doll."
"Max, that's what your mother calls me."
"Oh yeah the cobra is my pet so don't kill her ok?" She said and left the room.
She went back down stairs and walked back into her room, locking the door behind her. I am so glad that I sent Halo to get the master keys. She put a few pillows under the sheets in case they got suspicious. She lifted up the window and was about to climb out, when she turned around and picked Halo up and lay her on the bed.
"You can't come." She turned and stepped out the window, shutting it softly, and walked off into the shadows that she blended in with so well.
She turned the corner of the block that the estate was on. She decided to walk since it was only five blocks to the nearest store. She walked into the store and went to work. She bought a few candles, some drapes and some bed sheets. She also bought a few needs.
She was looking at the clothes, when she realized that she needed a bathing suit. She was looking through a pile, when she noticed a georgeous two piece. She picked it up and looked at the design then at the size. There's only one and it's my size, hehehehehe. I don't think uncle Quatre will like this, but who cares. She stuffed it in her cart. She finally checked out and practically ran home. She crawled in the window and tore her clothes off.
She dug through the sack and pulled out a cute pajama set. She tossed the pants aside and pulled the shirt over her head. She then pulled her other clothes out and hung them up in her closet. She put her underwear in on of the drawers in the antique vanity. She took out the drapes and hung them up. She took out the several candles and placed them in various points in the room. She lay the top sheet of the bedroom set she bought, over the vanity, where it covered the frame and down to the floor. She jumped on to the bed and buried her head in the pillows. She tried to jerk up but once she did she doubled over in pain.
"Goddammit." She cursed as she lifted up her nightshirt to reveal the medical cloth and the blood that was oozing out.
She got up and limped over to the pants to her pajamas, pulling them on with great difficulty. She stumbled over to the door and limped out in to the cold pitch black hallway. She staggered into the bathroom, which was down the hall, across from Heero's room. She opened the medicine cabinet and took out the medical cloth and the hydrogen peroxide. She sat down on the counter and slowly began to unwrap her wound.
She winced in pain as the flesh bond cloth tore vigorously at her skin pulling layer upon layer of her tissue from her body, causing the bleeding to intensify five times worse a every tug. She finally bit her tongue and yanked the rest of the cloth off. She grabbed a towel from a drawer and a cotton ball. She stuffed the towel in her mouth and dunked the cotton ball in the peroxide. She closed her eyes and gently pressed the cotton ball to her vulnerable wound. She screamed at the top of her lungs, the sound muffled by the towel. She quickly cleaned up the wound and looked down at it.
"Shit, The glass is still in there. Stupid woman! She didn't even try to take it out. It's a big wound too.. I'll have to stitch it up tonight. Hmmmm." She smiled as a sweet thought took over her mind.
I get to go to the party thing with Wufei! She wrapped the clean medical cloth loosely around her waist and pulled her shirt down. She picked up the soiled cloth and opened the door. She started out when a chubby woman stopped her and stared up at her with bright green eyes. She had a worried expression.
"I heard a muffled scream from the bathroom. I was the only one to hear it though ... Master Heero didn't. My room is right next door. Are you alright?"
Max stared at her in silence You are the one that put me in a dress. She curled her nose up and looked down the hall in a huff.
"Oh Miss Max, Don't be sore with me. I had to put you in that dress. You can't wear any of mine because you are too much taller than me. You can't wear any of the other lady servant's clothes because . . .well you are. . . a lot bigger than them in the breast area." Leeda said nervously.
Max cocked her eyebrow and looked down at her chest. She knew she was big and didn't need to be reminded. She looked down at the chubby face that was trying to smile.
"I am Ok, Thanks for wondering." Max lied. "And I bought a dress but I don't want Uncle to know that."
"Ok dear. Your Uncle is enrolling you into school after all his classes tomorrow." Max nodded and slithered past Leeda, disappearing into her room.
She walks in and moves Halo in time before collapsing on the bed.
"Damn I really, really, really REALLY, don't like that woman. Ok now to find my knife and thread,"
She sat up to search for her bloody tore jeans. She always carried a pocket knife, and a needle and thread, just in case .She took them out of the pocket thanking Allah that she hadn't forgotten them. She sat down on the bed , taking her shirt off. After making sure that the drapes were down and the door was locked she took of her sports bra as it would interfere with her work. She took the cloth off and looked down.
She felt faint as she drove the knife deep into the wound. She jerked the knife so that the blade was positioned under the large piece of glass. She jerked again, but this time she let out a shrill scream, stopping her self quickly. The piece of glass fell to the floor along with the knife and a lot of blood. Max grabbed at the lighter that she had bought with the candles. She held it up to her knife, and when it was glowing she pressed the knife against the wound.
She screamed again with her mouth shut as the scolding blade touched her skin. She pulled the blade away and forced a smile as she looked down at the wound. Damn I'm glad Dr, J taught me that. I never would have guessed that burning a wound would stop bleeding. Now for the easy part. She took out the prepared needle. She drove it through one side and out the other side of her flesh. She continued for a while and when she was through she pulled her nightshirt back on.
She was about to take her pants off, when there was a knock on the door. Shit did they hear me scream, she thought as she shoved everything under the bed. She limped over to the door, opening it. She felt like kicking her self when she saw Quatre, Trowa , and Wufei standing there with wide concerned eyes. She smiled a very nervous smile.
"What happened?!" Quatre practically yelled at her. She shrunk between her shoulders.
"Well?!" Trowa said in a mono tone voice since his face went back to mono tone itself.
"Nothing." she said, bracing herself waiting for someone to back slap her for lying. Wufei saw that she was cowering and he hated his idea of acting like they were enemies.
"You screamed... that wasn't nothing." Wufei said as coldly as he could.
She looked at him and said. "I just recleaned my wound that's all."
She couldn't look in their eyes any more. She looked down, and thought she was going to burst out laughing. Ohmigod, that's ironic, she thought as she looked at Trowa's little clown boxers. She looked at Quatre who was wearing pants with little cherubs all over them. She was very curious to she what Wufei was wearing. Quatre smiled and turned and went back upstairs to his bedroom, as did Trowa.
Wufei stayed there looking at her. He made sure that the other pilots were out of view then he went over to her and lifted her chin up, which brought her out of cowering. She was the same height as he was, so that made it easy for them to look into each others eyes.
"Are you Ok Max-chan?" He said in a very concerned voice.
"Hai, now that you are here I'm perfect. I almost can't stand acting like I hate you."
"Same here. M-chan. I think I ....." He started but stopped. She looked at him and smiled.
"What?" she said calmly.
"I think I love you." He said so softly that she almost didn't hear it.
"Nani?" she gasped. She knew what he said, just couldn't believe it. She blushed for the first time in her life and looked down quickly. Her eyes got wide as she saw what he was wearing.
"Nice boxers." She said looking back up at him playfully.
He was wearing silk black boxers that almost made her turn to goo. He smiled and wrapped is arms around her waist gently, making sure to be careful around her wound. She put her arms around his neck and played with his little ponytail. She pulled him close, nudging her nose against his. She couldn't control herself anymore. She pulled his lips to hers. He gave no struggle or protest but pulled her closer so that their chests were touching.
She gasped for air when their lips finally parted. Damn, I've never been with someone who could kiss like that. She thought. He smiled and kissed her quick on the cheek. Then he turned and went up the stairs and to his room. Holy ancestor! I never felt that kind of fire with Meiran.. I didn't even know how to react when she pulled me in to kiss, but with Max I knew exactlly how to react. I guess it is what I really wanted.
Max turned around and went back into her room where she collapsed once again on her bed. She forgot all about her pain, and the hell she went through before that. All she knew was Wufei, and that he loved her and she loved him.
In the hall Leeda was speechless at the scene she just saw. She stared at Max's door wide eyed. Master Quatre will love this. hehehe
"Leeda don't you dare ruin this for that little angel. She will tell her uncle when she is ready." Rashid's big voice boomed behind the small woman. She jumped and turned around.
"How long have you been there you big ape?'
"Long enough to see Max's emotions for Master Wufei."
Leeda growled and stormed off to her room. Rashid grinned, shaking his head and walked back to his own room beside Heero's.
