Chapter 4

The Duel

Duo ran into the training room after he heard Quatre's announcement to him and the other Gundam pilots that he and 'Duo' were dueling at six for 'ownership' Dorothy. He was greeted with the sight of Dorothy practicing her fencing with an imaginary opponent.

"What the hell were you thinking?!"

"Pardon?" she asked without stopping her practice.

"Dueling with Quatre! Are you nuts?!"

"What are you talking about you know what happened the last time we fought."

"Yeah but that time he wasn't trying to win!"

She stopped and looked at him, "Are you trying to say that you think I'll lose?"

"I'm not worried about you winning I'm worried about him doing something to my body! And I'm pretty pissed about him thinkin we got somethin goin on!"

"I don't like it either but I'm rather impressed that he's finally showing some aggressiveness in fact I'm honored, the only other thing that can make him have a backbone is the death of several loved ones."

"What are you gonna do I can't have everyone thinkin I'm fighting over YOU!"

"I plan to give this my all and if he wins I think he truly deserves me."

"You mean ME he's gonna end up with ME!!"

"Maxwell relax everything will work out."

"Dorothy I'm warnin you don't mess up my body."

"Or you'll what? Hurt me? Besides you owe me after that razor thing."

Duo grinned evilly, "Maybe so but just don't let him hurt me to bad cause if you do I'll...I'll do something really mean!"

While Dorothy rolled her eyes and, Duo turned and walked out. She sighed and looked at her watch.

"Five minutes till six better suit up." She said to herself.


Duo, Hilde, and Relena sat nervously on a bench while Heero Trowa and Wufei stood nearby making bets. Quatre was practicing a few moves while waiting for 'Duo' to show up. Finally 'he' did. Quatre smiled evilly and raised his sword to show he was ready. Dorothy stood in ready position as well waiting for him to strike.

"Lady's first." Said Quatre with a sneer.

Hilde slapped her hand over Duo's mouth before he could protest, Dorothy smiled and lunged at him.

Duo cowered behind his hands, trying not to look when Quatre sliced his body into little pieces, but once he looked up he found that not only was Dorothy holding her own, she was winning. Heero and Wufei looked on in total shock.

"I didn't know he could fence." Wufei said.

"Now this is a first." Said Heero.

"I knew he had it in him." Said Trowa who had bet all his money on 'Duo'.

The fight raged on for a few minutes until Quatre jumped back panting, "Wow Duo I didn't know you could fight like this, you're good, but sadly not good enough."

Dorothy charged him again and took a swipe at him but he ducked and did a sweep kick putting her flat on her back. She rolled out of the way just as his sword plunged into the ground where her stomach would have been. Dorothy took another swipe at him but he sidestepped the attack and swung at her arm slicing through the protective material and cutting her arm.

Duo made a funny choking noise and was about to get up and beat the crap out of Quatre but Hilde and Relena pinned him down, Hilde once again covering his mouth to prevent him from yelling unladylike phrases.

"You bastard!" Dorothy yelled to Quatre.

"You asked for it. Now to end this!" he yelled as he attacked.

This time Dorothy waited for him to get to her before she struck and was surprised when he slid under her sword, and popped up behind her. Before she could spin around he booted her in the spine causing her to fall and drop her weapon. Quatre caught it before it could hit the ground, Dorothy spun onto her back and gasped when she saw Quatre standing over her with the two swords crossed over each other like a pair of scissors at her neck.

"I win." He said with a smug grin.

Dorothy smiled, "Guess so...you can put the sword down now."

"Only after you say you are and ugly prick who doesn't even deserve to be in Dorothy's presence."

"I am an ugly prick who doesn't deserve to be in Dorothy's presence." She repeated.

At this point Relena and Hilde were sitting on Duo in order to keep him down, Relena was the one covering his mouth this time since he bit Hilde. Heero Trowa and Wufei were so busy laughing at the whole 'Duo' Quatre scene they didn't notice.

"Also," continued Quatre, "Say Dorothy is a goddess with unmatchable beauty and hair even more gorgeous than your own."

"Dorothy is a goddess with unmatchable beauty and hair ever more gorgeous than my own." Dorothy repeated.

Duo managed to jump up and was about to kill Quatre but Hilde and Relena tackled him again and before he could shout his protest Hilde shoved a handful of hair in his mouth then clamped her one good hand over it.

Quatre thought for a moment then removed the swords from his opponents' throat, "Alright that's good." He extended his hand to 'Duo' and helped 'him' up.

"That was pretty impressive Mr. Winner."

"Thank you Duo you did weren't so bad yourself I didn't know you had that kind of skill...and since when have you called me Mr. Winner?"

"Never mind that, what I'd like to know is where you leaned those moves from."

"Oh just something I thought up in my sleep." He bragged, "Now if you'll excuse me." He then walked over to Duo as soon as he faced that direction Hilde and Relena jumped off him and left him spitting hair out of his mouth.

Quatre walked up to him with a sweet mile and offered his hand to Duo, who only scowled until Relena pinched him. Duo squeaked and leapt into Quatre's arms.

"Ah, we are finally together my sweet."

Duo cracked a fake smile, "Yeah wonderful."

Quatre the hauled Duo over his shoulder and proceeded to walk away, Duo shot Hilde and Relena a look of pure terror as he was being dragged away.

Dorothy waved, "Bye have fun!"

Trowa Wufei and Heero finally recovered from their laughing fit and went to 'Duo's' side.

"Tell me Maxwell how the hell did you learn to fight like that?!" Asked Wufei.

"Dorothy taught me." She said.

"How long were you two...together?" Trowa asked.

"Oh we weren't I just wanted to test my skills against him, I don't know how he got the idea that me and Dorothy were a couple."

"You should get that arm checked." Heero stated flatly.

Dorothy looked down at her arm she hadn't noticed the wound before, it was a pretty deep cut and it was bleeding a lot as well, "Damn." She growled, "Guess I should." With that she took off into the house followed closely by Hilde and Relena.

Once they were away from the others the Relena spoke, "You idiot you let Quatre win and take Duo, lord knows what he'll do to him!"

Dorothy grinned, "I have an idea."

"And you're OK with that?!" Hilde squealed.

"Fine by me it's not like he's cheating."

"Yes it is AND with DUO!" shouted Hilde.

"Relax he's in my body so it's not like there're gay."

"RELAX?!!!!!! Quatre's about to rape Duo!"

"Quatre is a gentleman if Duo says no then he won't."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes."


"Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!" screamed Duo as Quatre finally pinned him down after chasing him around the bed for five minutes, "Get off! Get off! Get off!"

"Dorothy what's the matter? Is it my breath?"

"No it's that you're on my spine now GET OFF!!!!"

"Oh sorry." Said Quatre and helped him up.

"It's OK just don't do it again."

"Well I thought you wanted me to pin you down like last time remember?" he said the last word with sexy smile.

"Yes...of course but I can't be with you tonight because...I...have a cold. Yes I have a cold and *cough* I *sniff* don't want you to catch *sneeze* it."

"Oh Dorothy that's terrible well why didn't you tell me?"

"Because *cough* I *sniffle* didn't want you to *sneeze* worry."

"Here sit on the bed I'll get you some tea stay right there alright?"

"Alright." Duo said in his sickest voice and lay down on the bed. The second the door closed he jumped up and proceeded to try and escape through the window, but found it was stuck and he couldn't get it open.

"Ssssssshit!" he hissed.

Soon Quatre reentered to find Duo struggling to open the window, he set the tea he had down on the night table and went to his side.

"Something wrong my love?"

Duo jumped, startled by his sudden appearance, "Oh hi...I just...wanted some air it's hot in hear."

"Well did you try unlocking it?"

Duo looked down at the silver latch and grinned sheepishly, "Hehe silly me."

Quatre opened the window and led Duo back to the bed, "Now you lay down and rest hear is your tea."

Duo took the cup and blew on the hot liquid inside, "Thank you but I really should be getting back to my room."

"Don't even think it your staying in hear with me."

Duo spat out the little bit of tea he had drank, "WHAT?!"

"You're going to stay with me. Now lay back," he said as he took the tea from Duo and pushed him down on the bed, "And get some sleep, I'll be right back."

Then Quatre got up and disappeared into the bathroom, when he emerged he was wearing nothing but a silk robe and he had something white in his hand which he handed to Duo.

"What's that?"

"Your nightgown silly, the one you wore the night we made our relationship official, I kept it and cherished it ever since that night I haven't even washed it."

Duo felt like throwing up and passing out at the same time, "So what do you want me to do with it?"

"Wear it."

"Uh couldn't I just sleep in my clothes?"

"Don't play shy now just put it on."

"Uh *cough* I'm to sick to *sneeze* change my clothes, *wheese* just let me sleep *sniff* like this."

"Oh you poor thing let me dress you then."

Before Duo could protest Quatre pinned him down and was undressing him, Duo tried to yell but got a mouth full of shirt as it was lifted over his head. In and instant he was completely undressed and Quatre was standing back looking him over. Duo blushed and grabbed the white silk slip he was holding and put it on, once he did Quatre jumped into bed and got under the covers pulling Duo with him and wrapped his arms around his waist. Duo tried to get free but every time he did Quatre just pulled him closer finally he quit struggling and tried to think of other things.

"Dorothy?"

"Yeah?" Duo replied nervously.

"I've decided that I'm going to take you with me back home with me when I leave isn't that great?"

"Great juuuuust peachy."
