Chapter 2

Naomi stood outside, looking out at the street, watching for people to pass by. Her blue eyes scanned up and down the street ever four or five minutes. Her brown hair was pulled back in a ponytail and she leaned up against the railing.

She had been staying with the five for about a month, due to her injury hadn't gotten any better. Quatre had said to give it awhile because of how large of a wound it was and Duo was beginning to piss her off. Heero kept to himself, not trying to make any contact with her. Trowa usually said a `hello' or `how are you?' to her and Wufei insulted her greatly, but she was able to hold back her anger.

Due to her living with them Quatre had gotten his sisters to give up some of their clothes, which all somehow fit Naomi perfectly and they suited her.

She was wearing a red sweatshirt and black jeans. She blinked, looking towards the front door, where Heero was coming from.

They both connected gazes and then Naomi reverted her gaze back to the street. She said nothing, going to allow him to speak first, but he didn't. He only looked at her, studying her for a period of time.

"Why are you looking at me like that?"

Heero said nothing only set his gaze on where she was looking.

"I'm watching.. for my enemy.."

He looked back at her, walking over to her.

Naomi looked at him, her blue eyes meeting his prussian ones. "Tell me, Heero," she begun, moving, so she was facing him, "why do avoid me? It's not because I'm female, I know that.."

Heero still said nothing, only snorted.

"Well, I do like the quite type," she murmured, walking towards the front door. "But when you feel like talking to me, come and find me.."

With that Naomi walked into the house, leaving Heero outside, in the cold, watching the empty space where she was once standing.

"Hey, Wu-man.."

"Maxwell, call me Wufei, not Wu-man!"

"Whatever Wu-man. Well, then, tell me, do you feel attracted to Naomi in anyway?"

"HA! Don't make me laugh Maxwell! I am not attracted to a weak woman like her. I have no reason to be attracted to her. She's to violent for my liking."

Duo grinned, poking Wufei in the arm. "Come on, Wu-man, tell me the truth."

"I DO NOT FEEL ATTRACTED TO HER MAXWELL! DROP THE DAMN SUBJECT!!"

Duo squirmed away, looking at the pissed Chinese boy. He blinked, staring at him. "Sorry Wu-man.. you don't gotta get all pissy with me.."

"Then leave me alone.."

"Trowa..?"

He looked up from the book he was reading.

"Yes, Naomi?"

"Can I ask you something?"

"Go right on ahead.."

She sat down, across from him, looking down at her lap. "I.. like it here.. It's quite and peaceful, unlike the colonies."

Trowa listened, not butting in on what she was saying.

"I.. umm.. do you think you guys would let me stay here, with you?"

Trowa chuckled, looking at her. "Well, yes, we would.. Wufei would just be a bit ticked and Heero wouldn't mind. Quatre would be happy and Duo would just keep his distance."

"What about you?"

"It's nice to actually have a woman around her," he said. "Unlike Relena, you don't really care if this place becomes a mess."

"Re.. lena?"

"Oh, no one told you about her, huh?"

Naomi shook her head.

"She's the person who brought peace to the earth and colonies, but with the help from us five."

"You.. five?"

"Yes, we were gundam pilots.."

Naomi stood, suddenly. "I.. umm.. I have to go.."

Trowa looked at her as she hurried out of the room.

"Quatre!!!"

The blond Arabian felt Duo grab his arm. "What?"

"Tell Wufei not to cut off my braid!"

"Why would he want to do that?"

"Because he's mean!!!!"

Just then Wufei stormed into the kitchen. "SAY THAT TO MY FACE, MAXWELL!!"

Quatre sighed, looking at Wufei and then over at Duo, who was clinging to his arm, for dear life.

Naomi walked in, ignoring what was going and opening the refrigerator. She grabbed a bottle of Pepsi and then a cup, from the counter and poured it into the cup. "Hey, Wufei.."

"What, woman?"

"Catch.."

She threw the can towards him, causing Wufei to drop his guard and allow Duo to run out of the kitchen.

"'Scuse me.."

Heero glanced at Naomi. What does she want..?

Naomi stood in the doorway to his bedroom, looking at him. It was about nine in the evening and she was dressed in a pink nightgown. She had on matching pink slippers and her hair was let down.

"I want to talk to you.."

"Go talk to Trowa.."

She chuckled, walking into the room, shutting the door behind her.

Heero was sitting on his bed, typing into his laptop.

"Trowa's already asleep and I don't want to wake him up just to talk to him."

"What about Quatre?"

"Busy trying to get Duo and Wufei to sign a peace treaty.."

She looked at him, walking over to the bed and sitting down beside him, to see what he was doing. She blinked, pointing at something on the screen. "What' that?"
"An old blue print of a gundam.."

She swallowed, feeling a blush rise to her to her cheeks, for no reason at all.

Heero noticed the blush. "What're you blushing for?"

"I'm not.."

"Yes, you are, actually."

Naomi coughed, looking directly at him, blinking. She fell back, on his bed, looking up at the ceiling and then at him. "Why are you so stone cold to everyone?"

"I'm not.."

She sat up, quickly. "Yes, you are.. You act heartless."

"Maybe I am.."

"No, everyone has a heart.. They just.. have to find out how that heart'll warmen up.."
