I do not own Gundam wing

Thump. Karianna opened her eyes groggily. 'What was that..? Did Mary trip over someth-' She felt a hand cover her mouth then felt something cold against her neck. "Scream and it will be your last, " came a whisper in her ear. Karianna gulped, and gave a small nod. Her abductor yanked her from her bed and towards the window. A scuffling sound came from the adjoining room then a thump and silence. Another man entered the room with something wrapped in a cloak over his shoulder.

"What happened?"

"Hn.."

"Jeez just don't kill her," stated the man holding karianna. "Now lets scat." Karianna wondered who he meant. They couldn't possibly have taken her best friend? Of course she would have woken up hearing the noise!

Karianna felt her wrists being tied and she was tossed over her captor's shoulder and she grunted, but he put a cloth in her mouth to keep her from speaking. soon she found she was facing out her window and she squeezed her eyes shut. Before long she realized the man was climbing out her window by a rope. 'Oh gods, oh angels, don't let them have hurt my family.'

Karianna stayed quiet as the two men got her out of the castle. she glanced to one side seeing a limp form over the other man's shoulder. Worry filled her being. Karianna let out a sigh when the cloth was yanked from her mouth. She didn't have time to speak as she was put on a horse and the man climbed up behind her. "Where are you taking us?" she asked once the horse was moving. "Just be quiet."

Karianna scowled and glanced out of the corner of her eye but it was too dark outside the castle grounds to see the man's face. But green eyes looked out straight ahead, giving off their own sort of eerie glow.

The sun was soon rising and she glanced again to get a view of her captor. He was slim and tall with brown hair that fell over one side of his face obscuring it from view. As she watched his eyes darted to hers. She quickly looked away and looked ahead to see a dark and dreary looking castle looming before them. Glancing to her right she saw the second rider with her friend in front of him. The man had obviously put a bag over K's head. Karianna winced knowing the foul mood her friend must be in.

The gates opened and the drawbridge lowered allowing them to cross into the courtyard and two boys raced up and took the horse's reins. Karianna felt herself be lifted and set on her feet. She glanced behind her as she was pushed towards the door leading into the castle, only to see the drawbridge being raised.

Karianna frowned when she was pushed into a room but only stumbled and looked back. "Who are you and why did you take me?"

"You're not her."

Karianna straightened her shoulders and held her head high as he glared down at her. "You are a decoy."

"Mayhap I am,"

"If you are then we can just dispose of you and your loud friend..."

"Don't,"

Karianna and the man looked outside the room.

"You do have me."

"Kira, are you alright?"

"I'm fine Karianna."

Karianna watched the bag be yanked off her friend's head and her black hair tumbled down with her hat. Dark forest green eyes glared at both men. She stood straight and held her chin high. Her regal bearing was apparent. Karianna only hoped that Kira's temper didn't get them killed. Kira glanced at them both her eyes falling on the man with shorter darker brown locks. Karianna felt her breathe catch in her throat. 'No, not him.'

Prussian blue eyes glared right at her and Kira.

"Duke Heero Blackheart."

"Lady Randolf," came the cold retort. "And your cousin? You both do look astonishingly alike."

Heero glanced over them, there were subtle differences. Differences he would make note of should they try to pull a switch on them. He eyed Kira who had ridden with him with a shrewed eye. "Trowa...make sure they are locked up,"

Karianna almost lets out a sigh of relief but blinked as Blackworth finished after his short pause.

"Separately."

Kira felt him grab her arm and she glanced at Karianna. "Have faith, cousin. My brothers will come."

karianna looked at Trowa who closed her door as she ran for it she heard it lock. The quiet click echoed like thunder in her ears. She put her back against the door and slid down it to sit on the stone floor. Only then did she take the moment to glance around her. The room was actually comfortably furnished a window showed a small patch of sky but it was also to small to climb out of. Even then it was a long drop to the ground. She hoped, that Kira was not getting into trouble.

Heero watched her. She was a beauty. Long hair black as sin, fell in thick locks past her waist in waves. Her eyes were a clear deep emerald green with tiny flecks of gold. He had expected her to cower in front of him, to beg to be released. But here she stood bold as brass, facing him ready to fight tooth and claw. He had to admit. She was spirited.

Kira yanked her arm from Heero's grip once she was led into a room. She turned and glared at him. "Don't think, just because I am here I will be cooperative. I know you brought me here for a reason, and whatever it is I will find out. I will also leave soon enough." She held her chin high. He'll be like most, he'll expect me to be some simpering cowardly woman who doesn't know anything except how to run a house, or sew. Well he's going to find out quick fast and in a hurry Kira Randolf is no coward!

"You really think your brothers will realize I took you?"

Kira went silent. He had a point, there were many who would revel in the idea of causing mischief to her family. even by kidnapping. But it wasn't like she'd admit it. She glared at heero. "Well are you going to untie me? Or are you going to stand like useless lump all day?" Heero returned the glare, just as cold as hers. "And they say you are kind to all Mi'lady. The rumors are quite deceitful."

"I'm only giving what I hear you dish out. If you wish for kindness find a wife."

"Stubborn woman, don't you realize you shouldn't antagonize your captor?"

"I may be stubborn but at least I am not a bumbling conceited ape."

"Useless."

"Fool." he snarled.

"Insensitive cad." she retorted bitingly.

Trowa stood at the door a small grin tugged at the corners of his mouth. She was actually arguing with Heero? and insulting him? This was a first.

Maybe they might gain more then what was planned with this little kidnapping...The girl was certainly different. Maybe...just maybe Heero would find what he needed in his life. He then chuckled.

"If they don't kill eachother first."
