Start:

            A dark figure smirked when a special of crime on the streets came on the news. The T.V. blared, “ The notorious ‘Dragons’ a notorious mob is at strike again. Here we are @ the resident of Treize Khrusenada and Anne Une, no more then 30 minutes ago, the OZ (mob known as OZ) mob’s leader Treize Khrusenada was murdered along with his wife @ their French estate.” The newscaster goes on about rivalry between two mobs then a picture of Master O came on the screen. “The leader of the dragons is the notorious

Master O, if he is seen please call your local authorities,” the T.V. flashed off as the phone rang.

 

            “You did well SC (1)” [SC = Silent Clown = Trowa Barton]

 

“Thank you Master,” a dark onyx eye sees that he has another call,

 

            “What is it PS (2)?” [PS = Perfect Soldier = Heero Yuy]

           

“I have news Shing (3)” [Shing = Wufei’s code name] a gruff voice said. Shing connected the 3 lines, “what news do you have PS?”

 

            “There is word that the Black Panthers are forming”

 

            “Where?”

 

            “ Little China, New York” SC finished.

 

“Someone contact ‘the sultan’ (4) [Quatre’s code name] and meet me@ White Dragon (a base) in 2”

 

            “Understood”, PS said hanging up. Shing knows that Sc nodded over the phone and cut the line.

 

Shing greeted his 3 partners as they boarded his private jet.

 

            “Who’s the head?”

 

            “Zechs Marquise,” a clipped voice said.

-----

            “Angel what are you doing up so early?”

 

“I was planning on going to the library today”

 

            “But we have a lot of books here,” Zechs said.

 

“I’ve already read them all” Duo said pulling out his braid from under his shirt. He walked over to the bed and gave Zechs a quick kiss. But Zechs pulled Duo onto the bed and rolled over so that he was on the bottom. He slowly licked Duo’s lips playing with the end of this braid. Zechs continued to move away from Duo’s lips until Duo passionately took a hold of his lips and massaged the insides of Zechs mouth with his tongue.

 

            Duo felt Zechs large hands push up his shirt and pull it up over is head. Before he had a chance to protest Zechs took a hold of his nipple and was kissing his collarbone. Duo let out a sexy moan as he ran his hands over his lover’s bare hips.

-----

 

            “ How long is it till we get there?” the sultan asked.

 

“ Tomorrow 1 p.” a nasal voice answered.

 

-----

 

            Duo heard his hair band snap as Zechs was removing his pants with his teeth. He felt Zechs warm breath roll over his hard member and he let a feral growl..

 

“Zechs please” Duo moaned out as his lover nibbled the inside of this thigh running his lips over ‘little Duo’ as he did. Duo waited for Zechs to start spreading him but was surprised to feel the cold lubricant touch his ‘little Duo’, Duo couldn’t take his eye of the tantalizing picture of Zechs sticking his fingers in him spreading himself. Duo passionately screamed out Zechs name when he felt the small/tight passage enclose over his ‘little Duo’.

 

            Duo cuddled up to Zechs sweaty body as they lay on the bed exhausted. He slapped Zechs bare butty, “the libraries closed now, look what you did”. Zechs gave him a winning smile, “ do that again and you won’t make it to the library tomorrow,” he said jokingly.

-----

            The four heads of the dragons walked into the hotel and found their reservation. They all agreed to meet up again in an hour and discuss their plans.

-----

 

            “Zechs, I’m going to the library now” Duo said braiding his hair.

           

            “didn’t we go through this yesterday?” Zech’s moaned out from under the covers. . Duo walked up to Zechs and slapped his butt. “ I’m not falling for that again.” he kissed the small pink blush on Zechs butt and left.

-----

 

            Wufei stood outside of the hotel happy to have gotten out of that stuffy room. He was promised a wonderful library whenever he came here and he went to see if it were true.

            Duo stood in one of the many aisles’ of the library trying to get the book off the top shelves balancing 13 books. He saw the book taken down and half of the books disappear from his stack and set down on a table.

 

            “Thank you” Duo said to the handsome Asian man. The man lifted one of the books from his stack, “ this is really good book” he said.

 

            “you like suspense novels?” Dup asked.

 

            “it isn’t literature if it isn’t suspense” the Asian man answered, “ oh how rude of me, my name is Wufei.”

 

            “Hello”, Duo said shaking his hand, “I’m Duo, I’m sorry to have to greet and run but I should be going”. Duo started collecting all his books. “It was nice meeting you, I hope it happens again” and Wufei watched as Duo went to check out his book. “ I also”, he said.

-----

 

            Zechs found his lover curled up in an armchair reading a book when he came into their bedroom. Zechs walked up behind Dup and removed the book from his lap.

 

            “Do you ever wish you were not given to me?” Zechs asked sitting across from Duo. “Do you wish you could be going to college right now and dating a hot stud of a man rather then sleeping with a bag of bones?” Duo climbed into Zechs lap and played wit his long blond strands.

 

            “I never regret meeting you Milli” Duo said using Zechs real name. “Plus why do I need a hot stud when I Have you, you are at least 3 hot studs put together,” Duo said with a teasing smile.

 

            “oh thank you Angel, that makes me feels much better”

 

            “ but what is with all these strange thoughts?”

 

            “I hear that the dragon’s are in town”

 

            “don’t worry” Duo said kissing Zech’s nose, “I’ll love you until at least 4 hot studs come  along”

 

            “what?!”

 

            “I’m just playing.. I love you Milli”

 

            “ I love you too Angel..”

-----

Heero stood inside Quatre’s room with Trowa attaching the gear to his body.

            “Are you sure we should be doing this w/o involving Shing?”

 

            “Even if he wanted to go, you know he can’t because of his position”

No one looked at the 3 men as they crossed through the lobby except for lusty stares.

------

            “I’ll be down in the library”, Duo said removing himself from Zechs lap and picked up his book.

 

3 dark figures discreetly moved across Zechs property and into his bedroom. They all stood up straight searching for Zechs’.. they heard a *bang* from a gun and saw Quatre lying motionlessly on the floor, the puddle of blood growing around him. The 2 still standing quickly retreated back out the window.

 

            “dispose of him” Zechs said. Dup ran up the stairs when he heart the gun go off.

“Zechs??!!”

“ZECHS???!!!!”                                               “MI..”

 

“I’m right here Angel,” Duo ran into Zech’s arms. “I thought you were hurt and I panicked so I ran..”

 

            “Shh..” Zechs said placing his finger on Duo’s lips. “As long as you wear this angel” Zechs said placing Duo’s hands cupped in his own over the necklace, “I will be alive and safe”

 

            “are you crazy PS? You can’t go back now!”

 

            “let go of me  Barton,” Heero roared. He ran into the  dark of the night to seek his revenge with Trowa not far behind him.

 

            “you should leave some time to regroup,” Zechs said pointing his gun @ Heero as he came through his bedroom window. One of Zechs men already rendered Trowa unconscious. “Take them downstairs (5)[Zechs has a cell in his basement, he’s a mob leader people!! :] he said knocking Heero out with the butt of his gun, “Duo are you alright?”

 

            “I’m find, but who are they?”

 

            “ the dragons”, Zechs said.

 

The next morning Duo watched Zechs leave for ‘work’.

 

            “don’t hurt yourself Milli”

 

            “I’ll see you in a bit Angel,” Duo scurried down to the cell downstairs with a first aid kit, hot water, a towel, plus some food. He opened the cell door and quickly shut it behind him putting the lock pick back in his hair.

 

            ‘hmm.. He looks worse’, Duo thought looking @ Heero’s slumped body. Duo quickly put himself to work. When Duo was finished with Trowa he heard a voice talking to him.

 

            “who are you and what are you doing?”

 

            “I’m Duo, and I’m helping”

 

            “we don’t need your help”, Heero spat out. He tried to move but was restrained by the chains containing him. Duo gave him a guilty look as he looked down @ his watch.

 

            “I’m sorry but I have to go, but I’ll be back okay.” Duo left the cell. “I left some food, so eat it okay. If you don’t want to die.”

 

            “he’s the boy that was in the bedroom with Zechs,” Trowa said after he was sure that Duo had left.

 

            “Zech’s is 28 and Duo looked only 18-20,” Trowa raised a single eyebrow when Heero said Duo’s first name.

--------

            “Hi Wufei,” Duo said walking up behind the Chinese man.

           

            “Hi Duo, how are you?”

 

            “I’m doing well, you?”

 

            “the people I work with suddenly all resigned so it’s been kind of hard, “ Wufei said.

 

            “wow, you work? How old are you Wufei?”

 

            “I’m 22”

 

            “oh, I’m only 19,” Duo said fiddling with his braid. “ the book you recommended was really good,” Duo said excitedly. Duo jumped up surprised when they announced the library was closing. “ Oh I didn’t know it was this late, bye Wufei.” As Dup turned to leave, Wufei grabbed the end of his braid and spun him around, “ hey wa..” Dup was hut up when Wufei covered his lips with his kissing him.

           

            “Bye Duo”, Wufei said releasing him. Dup ran home and quickly grabbed a bag to fill with food and ran downstairs.

 

            “Relena, Catherine leave them alone”

 

            “yes sir,” the two of them purred blowing Trowa and Heero kisses as they walked away.

 

            “hey you’re awake”, Dup said seeing Trowa’s one green eye watching him. Trowa looked over @ Heero as if a sign of approval was needed. “I brought us food for us to eat, I am so hungry,” Duo said sitting on the ground by Heero and Trowa. The two of them watched as he started eating. “I met this amazing guy @ the library and wow, what a great kisser,” he paused taking a gulp of water.

 

            “a guy?” Heero repeated.

 

            “yes, a guy”, Duo said. “ you’re not homophobic are you?”

 

            “he’s be the world’s biggest hypocrite them,” Trowa said.

 

            “Do you guys want something to eat?” Dup said holding up a sandwich. Heero jangled the chains behind him. Dup then knocked him self on the head, “ oh this is going to be fun!!” Day after day Duo went to see Wufei @ the library and talked to Heero and Trowa @ home. One day Duo stopped by the library and it was closed. He was disappointed that he was not able to see Wufei that day when a black head of hair walked around the corner and toward Duo.

 

            “Hi Duo”

 

            “Hey Wufei, they libraries closed today, but do you wanna go to the park?”

 

            “sure” (haha dorky dialogue!), Duo and Wufei walked along the path @ the park. Duo blushed when Wufei took a hold of his hand and pulled him under a tree..

 

            “May I?” Wufei asked gently fingering the end of Duo’s braid. Duo nodded making himself comfortable on Wufei’s lap. People walked by commenting they were a cute couple as Duo and Wufei made out with Duo’s long mane flowing behind him..

 

            “ahh, I’m gonna have to pay tonight,” Duo said as he walked down the stairs w/a basket. “hey you guys okay?”

 

            “how are all the men in the world not gay with woman like that?” Heero asked. Trowa stayed silent watching Duo’s hair float up in the air then fall to his slender form, ‘beautiful’.

           

            “you have some hair there”, Heero commented.

 

            “yeah, can you tell I’m kind of vain,” he said sarcastically. “Hey you guys I have to go, I hear Zechs’ car.” The 2 boys sat in the cell watching their friend run up the stairs.

 

            “Milli!!!”

 

            “Duo”

 

            “are you okay Zechs?”

 

Zechs patted the chair in front of him w/ a brush in his hand. “The dragon lost a couple of this talons, they are going to strike soon, so I want you to be careful, alright angel?”

 

            “alright Zechs”. Duo purred like a cat as Zechs finished brushing his hair and plaiting it. “Milli, do you love me?” Duo asked laying across Zechs bare chest. “always” Zechs replied running his thumb over Duo’s cheek.

 

            “Duo if I were to ever pass away I don’t want you to have any part in Black Panthers okay”

            “what are you talking about?”

 

            “some people are going to want you to be the new leader and I want you to say no.. you’ll do that for me right angel?”

Duo frowned peering into Zechs’ blue eyes, “Okay Zechs, but I don’t want you to talk about leaving me alright.” Zechs kissed Duo on the top of his head turning away remembering the picture of Duo in the dark with a dark haired young man.   ‘I don’t want to talk about you leaving me Duo’.

 

            Duo went to meet Wufei @ the library. He ran up the Wufei and wrapped his arms around him where he was sitting in front of the library. “What are you doing out here?”

 

            “I was wondering if I could have the honor of having dinner with you?”

 

            “dinner?” Duo repeated releasing Wufei. Wufei gave him a confused look, “if you don’t want to, I can cancel the reservation,” He said taking out his phone. Duo put his hands over Wufei’s, “No it’s okay, dinner sounds nice.”

 

            Duo sat in complete ecstasy as Wufei fed him his dessert. He almost choked when he saw what time it was. “oh my gawd! I have to leave. Thanks for the dinner Wufei.”

 

            “you’re sweet little Duo won’t come to safe you,” Catherine said with a snap of her whip to emphasize her point.

            “so why not just give up,” Relena added running her hands over Heero’s chest. “Zechs will have you killed anyways”

 

            “NO! Duo wouldn’t allow that”

 

            “Duo has no power” Catherine sneered, “he’s just the bosses little whore.” Trowa stiffened when he saw the lock on the door weaken.

 

            Wufei stopped Duo from leaving telling the waitress to put the bill on room number 520. Wufei walked w/ Duo out into the lobby. “Must you really go Duo?” Wufei asked holding Duo’s hands. Duo looked away from Wufei’s eyes and thought about Heero and Trowa: cold, hungry, and being harassed by Relena and Catherine. “Yes, I really must go,” Duo said pulling his hands away from Wufei.

 

            “a good bye kiss then”, Wufei tenderly kissed Duo on the lips slowly deepening it pushing Duo back so that the elevator button was pushed.

 

Trowa and Heero tired to keep Relena and Catherine from coming in as they continued to work on the lock.

 

            Without letting go of Duo’s lips Wufei slipped the key card in the door and pushed Duo gently into the room closing the door behind him.

 

            Heero and Trowa tired to stand up to defend themselves against Relena and Catherine who had broken the lock. There eyes widened ignoring the pain they felt from their bleeding wrists and ankles.

 

            Duo gasped for air when he fell back into a bed with Wufei on top of him, “Wufei”, he moaned.

 

            Heero screamed out when he felt his shoulder cap pop out of place and his left arm broken. Trowa hissed in pain falling to his knees as the whip cracked his back.

 

            Duo felt his hair spread around him and broke the tie in Wufei’s hair. Duo lost all senses as Wufei unbuttoned his shirt slowly and kissed/licked/nibbled on all the flesh he saw.

 

            Heero shut his eyes tightly in disbelief when he felt his pants being cut off. He felt his soul slip away as Relena wrapped her cold fingers around his member hissing “Fuck me”

            Trowa wanted to die when he felt Catherine stick something up his small hole. He wanted to kill her when he started moaning as he released into her mouth.

 

            Duo blushed when he felt Wufei’s tongue glide over the birthmark on his hip. He arched his back screaming in passion when he felt Wufei’s warm mouth move down on his “little Duo”.

 

            Heero sat still as a statue as Relena continually rode him, cutting his skin with a small blade lapping her tongue in his blood.

            Trowa screamed hoarsely in pain when Catherine broke his leg again playing her sopping anus over his mouth. She almost broke his neck when he refused again. She brought her whip down onto his chest ripping his shirt into nothing.

 

            Duo screamed out Wufei’s name as Wufei entered his tight passage.

(as time passes here)

            Duo woke up groggily beside Wufei the next day.

“good morning angel”, Wufei said kissing him lightly. Duo froze momentarily hearing the term of endearment from Wufei’s mouth.

            “I have to go Wufei … I hope you understand, I’ll try to go to the library later..” Duo ran out of the room braiding his hair as he hailed a cab. He asked the driver to hurry up when he saw it was a little after one.

            Duo tried his best yelling out Heero and Trowa’s name as he ran to the basement. He froze on the 2nd to the last step when he saw the broken gate and the two lifeless figures of Heero and Trowa. He slowly approached them but stopped short when he saw Trowa look @ him w/lifeless green eyes.

 

            “Leave us be”, he heard Heero’s voice.

 

            “but..”

 

            “NO!” Heero yelled out, “look @ what happened to us because of you”, his words slurred toward the end and Duo saw that they both lost consciousness from lack of blood. He slowly moved them to his room, which he never used because he always slept in Zechs room. He called Sally Po to come over once he got them up to his room.

 

            “Did Zechs get hurt Duo?” Sally asked walking into the house. Duo signaled her to follow him into his room. He closed and locked the door behind her.

 

            “they’re hurt”, he said directing her to the bed. Sally asked him to fill his tub w/hot water so that they could clean the two up. Duo sat in the big tub beside Heero softly running the washcloth over his broken skin. He felt tears run down his cheeks when he saw his chest with slash marks all over it. Duo dumped some water on Heero’s head lathering his hair w/shampoo, conditioner, and detangler before flushing out the tub of the dirty water. He quickly dried himself wrapping a towel around his waist. He tried to stand Heero up as he patted him dry also wrapping him in a towel. He saw that Sally had already cleaned Trowa.

 

            “Duo, here’s some antibacterial cream and some ointment. Spread it over all his open wounds. I think you’re friend broke his leg,” Sally said making a splint.

 

            “I think he set his arm Sally” Duo said setting down the ointment. Duo pressed his knee to Heero’s bare chest to pop his shoulder cap back to place. Duo got goose bumps when he heard the *pop*. He saw that it had woken Heero up. Sally was trying to bind his arm but he pushed her away.

            He braced himself against a wall and set his arm straight. Duo thought he was gonna be sick when Heero set his arm straight. Heero silently passed by Duo and walked to Trowa. He looked @ Sally when he saw the bandages and the cast on his leg. Sally nodded @ Heero and pulled Duo out of the room.

 

            “Duo, you know they can’t go back down there”

 

            “I know,  I guess they’re staying up here”

 

            “what about Zechs?”

 

            “he’ll underst….” Duo stopped talking and ran back into the room when he heard someone scream in pain. He saw Trowa awake on the bed with Heero’s hands on his leg. Duo heard Sally say goodbye and the door closing.

 

            “you guys should probably get some rest….” Duo trailed off still standing by the doors.

 

Trowa and Heero both seem to drift to sleep laying on Duo’s bed. Duo felt the guilt weight down on him as he locked their wrist and ankles together. Hours past and he saw that Heero’s lips were turning blue. He then realized that he was still in his towel. Duo sat @ the edge of the bed w/a pile of clothing by him. He slowly unlocked the locks on Heero’s ankles. He pulled some cotton slacks onto Heero’s frail form. As he went to relock him Heero kicked him. He apologized as he got up.

 

            “an apology only matters when there’s a close bond,” Duo was more crushed hearing that he didn’t trust him. Duo moved to Trowa after receiving a blow in the face pulling a long sleeve shirt on Heero. He started clothing Trowa when Trowa asked why he helped them.

 

            “Because you don’t belong here,” Duo replied.

 

Heero spat, “why not let us go then?” and Duo shook his head no, “then you would kill my master”

 

            “your master?” Trowa asked. Duo nodded sitting @ the edge of the bed. “You see I never knew my parents and I was taken care of @ a orphanage. One day this man Treize came by..

 

            “OZ” Heero said.

 

            “yes, he was the leader of OZ, he saw me walking down the streets and asked me what I wasn’t doing in school. Then I told Mr. Treize that I didn’t have any money to go to school because my mom and dad had left w/o taking me with them. At that time I didn’t understand why Treize cared so much about me. But one day Treize came by to take my w/him home, he was adopting me.. That day the orphanage I was @ was burned down by the dragons. I met Zechs when I was w/Treize. It seems as if Zechs had a crush on old Mr. Treize but Une probably scared it out of him.. I’m sorry again, I know I probably have no right blabbering my mouth off or telling you what I’m about to. You know how I’ve been telling you guys about the guy I met @ the library? Well I was him last..” Duo feel asleep with them after telling them what happened with Wufei. Duo went back up to his room w/Zechs in the morning after feeding the two breakfast.

 

            “I’m beginning to think you love our prisoners more then me” Zechs pouted.

 

            “you’re so cute Milli”

 

            “you should be careful though, okay angel?”

 

            “you’re such a worry wort Milli,” he joked w/ a feeling of guilt weighing down on his heard every time Zechs looked @ him with love filled eyes.

 

Duo went out to the library after he saw Zechs close himself off in his home office. He stayed there 3 hours w/ no sign of Wufei then went back home to take care of Heero and Trowa.

 

            “you should stay here, something dangerous is coming” Heero said. Duo was tempted to but he couldn’t leave Wufei waiting for him, “I’ll be back as soon as possible, ‘kay”

 

            “what are we going to do with Duo?” Trowa asked.

 

            “we have to kill him, he knows too much,” Heero said with a straight face. “ But I don’t want to hurt him,” Heero admitted.

           

            “what about taking him with us?” Trowa and Heero both knew that the Dragon’s were overhead and Zechs would be killed but if Duo was away they couldn’t do anything.

 

            “what about Shing?”

 

            “we’ll disguise him as a women then Shing will never bother him”

 

Heero looked over at his friend that fell in love with Duo since he was taking care of them while he couldn’t let go of the picture of his perfect blond angel, Quatre.

 

Duo slowly jogged to the library not being able to shrug this bad feeling off. He stopped when the necklace that Zechs had given him, a amethyst pendant broke off his neck and shattered before it reached the ground. Duo yelled out Zechs name inside his head and ran home. He ran into Heero and Trowa who stopped him from getting in. He showed them his tear filled face and whispered, “Milli”. Duo leaned heavily on Trowa’s chest and cried for all that he was worth. Trowa stroked his head cradling Dup as Heero instructed them to follow.

_______________

 

            Wufei aka Shing  walked swiftly to Trowa’s room when he got word that he brought someone in. Wufei loved having his only colleagues by his side but he missed Duo. He had gone to the library for several days now and Duo hasn’t come. He wondered if Duo was hurt or suck or possible gone and Wufei quickly pushed the thought aside when he knocked on Trowa’s door, no one answered so he let himself in realizing the door was unlocked. He didn’t see any of them in the first room but ventured into the main bedroom. He saw Trowa’s bare back and chest sticking out of the blanket and a smaller bare back burned/cuddled into Trowa’s chest. Wufei walked away as quietly as he come in realizing it was a girl that Trowa was with. Wufei ran into Heero in the living room. Heero said something about he had to see Trowa about something. Wufei saw Heero holding several bags from female boutiques.

 

            “Trowa and his friend are resting” he said leaving the room. Heero sat down in a chair turning on the T.V. onto the news. “ 8 days ago the tragic death of Zechs Marquise once know as Milliardo Peacecraft has shaken the felling of safety in the communities.” Heero watched as a picture of Zechs half-burned house and his body bag being pulled into an ambulance.

 

            Heero turned off the T.V. when Trowa came out of his room w/only pants on ^^.

 

            “how is she?” Heero asked.

 

            “she’ll be fine, she understands what he had to do.” Heero nodded directing to the several bags on the floor. Trowa said “thank you” as he headed to the kitchen. Duo came out of the room with Trowa’s oversized snoopy shirt stopping @ mid-calf looking very much like a girl. She smiled @ Heero when a mug of coffee was set in front of her. They worked on calling Duo, Danica.

 

            “Shing was by earlier”

 

            “who’s Shing?”

 

            “it’s our colleague”

 

            “Trowa, what’s my name mean?”

 

            “you’ll find out soon”, he said holing her chin gently and kissing her nose.

 

            “okay Duo, your name is Danica Barton,” Heero said, “you guys should go get ready.”

 

Heero left the two of them along saying he was going to take a quick shower. Trowa took Duo’s right hand into his hand and placed a thin band w/ a square amethyst jewel in the center. He added a thicker wedding band over it. Danica was almost in tears @ the beauty of the rings.

            “the shot the professor gave you will keep you a girl forever Danica, but if you decide you want to bail we have an antidote okay Duo,” Danica nodded, “thank you for going through so much trouble for me.. I find no discomfort in being a women if it keeps me alive..”

            Trowa nodded watching Danica pull the last ring onto his slender finger.

“so I can get pregnant but won’t have any of that messy PMS stuff right?”, Duo said picking up some bags from the living room.

            “yes”, Trowa said picking up the rest of the bags. Trowa helped Danica pick an outfit to wear. “I wonder how Heero felt picking out my lingerie,” Danica said going through the Victoria Secret bag.

 

            “He probably thought of it as a mission,” Trowa said pulling out a gray skirt and a white blouse from the Banana Republic bag. Danica quickly pulled on the clothes handing Trowa a pair of gray slacks and a black slouch neck sweater. Trowa watched Danica pull out a collection of shoe boxes from several different bags. He pulled on his black socks and shoes to go help her.

 

            “I like there,” he said pointing to the black sandals that had two straps one @ the toe and one @ the top.. They came out of the room seeing Heero sitting in the living room w/black slacks, a deep blue shirt, and a jacket. They left to go see Shing. Danica stood behind the wall Trowa and Heero made in front of the door. They were let in and directed to the living room. Shing sat in the fat corner his face hidden by shadows.

 

            Trowa, Heero, and Danica sat down on a couch.

 

            “what is your name?” a voice said to Danica.

“it’s Danica, Danica Barton”          ‘I’ve heard that voice before, she said inside her head.

            “morning star? Danica you do know that I do not allow women in my foundation, but because you are married to ‘SC’,” he said eyeing her rings. “I will allow you to stay. But if you’ll excuse us Mrs. Barton, I need a moment with these gentlemen.” Danica nodded fighting the urge to scratched the skin behind her bun. She followed Shing’s man out of the room and into the kitchen.

 

            “our sultan is not dead” Shing said walking out of the shadows in front of Heero and Trowa. “his men found him struggling with a bullet wound, he is back @ his home but I will be going to see to his recovery, do you wish to follow?” They both agreed to go. They got up to go when Shing asked Trowa to say.

 

            “Trowa”, he said after Heero had left. Trowa never once hearing his name spoken from the lips of his beautiful master stayed silent.

            “I may not like women,” he started, “but I do appreciate beautiful things of nature and your morning star (danica) was well chosen.” Trowa said “thank you”..

 

            Wufei sat in the room hearing the door close after the 3 left his room. Wufei left the hotel to go to the library and Danica also left for the same place. She changed her clothing into a comfortable pair of pants and set her hair in a braid. Trowa and Heero didn’t know she had left until they called her out for a late lunch but when no one replied they went in search for her. Wufei walked through the suspense novels and ran into somebody who was reading while they walking. Wufei though it was Duo when he saw a pair of glasses on the floor and a thick brain.

 

            “Duo?” he asked… He stopped when he saw a very feminine face peer @ him with big amethyst eyes.

            “Danica?” The Duo inside Danica was going crazy, ‘Wufei!! How do you know her!!?”

 

            “you’re Shing” Danica said in a whisper reaching for her glasses. Wufei forgot about Duo as he helped Trowa’s wife off the floor.

            “you aren’t supposed to know who I am,” Wufei said pushing the glasses onto her small face.

 

            “I’m sorry Wufei”, Wufei stopped, saying in deadly voice, “ how do you know my name?” Danica lowered her head. “I’m Duo.” 

Wufei stepped back a couple of steps, “ how did this happen?” Wufei said pointing @ her female aspects.

           

            “this isn’t the place to talk”, she said. Danica and Wufei went to Trowa and Heero’s room. Surprisingly they weren’t there. Wufei sat in the living room waiting for Duo to come out of his room. Wufei got up when Duo who was not very much a male came out of the room. Wufei reached out and kissed him passionately on the lips. Duo sat down on Wufei’s lap and started telling Wufei that he had to be a girl to stay alive.

 

            Wufei didn’t understand until Duo realized something. He jumped up off Wufei’s lap and slowly walked away from him then Trowa and Heero walked into the room.

 

            “ YOU KILLED ZECHS!!!!” Duo screamed out tears beginning to pour of his eyes.

            “you killed him”… ‘Shing, Master of the Dragon’s is Wufei’ ran through Duo’s head.

 

Duo ran to Trowa when Wufei got up and walked toward him.

 

            “LEAVE ME ALONE!” Duo yelled out. Trowa silently walked Duo into his room and locked the door behind him.

 

            “what happened Shing?” Heero asked. “how do you know Duo?”

Wufei told him that Duo was the boy that he met while they were @ confrontations w/ the Black Panthers. Wufei didn’t know that Duo was Zechs lover.. He wouldn’t have fallen for him then…

            Wufei asked Heero how they knew Duo. Heero realized that Shing was who Duo went to see whenever he went out. Heero told Shing that Duo was who took care of them when they were captured @ Zechs. Heero wanted to beg Shing not to kill Duo, but Duo was connected to the enemy and he knew too much. As if Wufei had read Heero’s mind

 

            “I don’t know what to do, but I will not kill him.” Heero nodded wanted to hug Shing. Shing left as Trowa finally got Duo to calm down. He asked Duo where he went. Duo told him that he to go see Wufei his friend (he paused @ the word friend) from the library. He told him that he used the reversal shot and then realized that Wufei was Shing and that Shing killed Zechs.

 

            Trowa wanted something more to make Duo happy.

“are you mad and Heero and me for being part of this too?” he asked.

 

Duo shook his head, “I couldn’t be mad @ you two.. You guys were locked away.”

Trowa released his hold on Duo and walked away form the bed where Duo sat.

            “are you going to leave us then?” Duo looked down and through his bands saw the rings that Trowa had given him earlier sparkle. He looked up shaking his head, “no, I’m not leaving. Trowa, I have to buy something, wanna come with?” Trowa followed Duo out to a jewelry store.

           

            Duo bought 2 gold/white gold chains and went back to the room. He started saying about how he wasn’t a women anymore and marriage wasn’t needed anymore. He pulled off Trowa’s ring and pulled it onto a chain and clipped it around Trowa’s neck.

 

            “but no need to waste jewelry”, he finished, Trowa clipping the necklace for him. When the 4 of them reached Quatre’s home in Arabia. Duo didn’t spend a lot of time enjoying the vast grounds, but rather spending time in Quatre’s humongous library.

 

Wufei knew that Duo was avoiding him and it was tearing him apart. He would rather die then have the love of his life ignore him forever. Wufei found Duo asleep in the warm library w/ a book cradled to his chest. Wufei removed the book and his glasses spreading him out on the couch. He spread a quilt over him and gently stroked his face.

 

            “forgive me my love, I did not mean to harm you,” Wufei was about to stand up and leave but someone/thing took a hold of his hand.

 

            “Wufei”, Duo’s tired voice said, “please don’t leave me again.” Wufei went to sit by Duo and saw him barely staying awake. Wufei told Duo to get some rest. Trowa found them together in the library and silently left. Duo woke up first seeing Wufei leaning uncomfortable against the sofa.

            Wufei woke up slowly feeling fingers run through his unbound hair.

“good morning”, Duo said.

     “Morning”, Wufei said standing up. He hesitantly started walking away from Duo. “do you not love me?” Duo voice said. Wufei turned, “then why are you leaving me?”-duo.

 

            “I didn’t know”, Wufei said. Duo got up grabbing his glasses and walked toward Wufei.

            “We’ll talk later”, he started, “let me take a shower first.”

Wufei watched Dup leave the room.

 

            Duo ran into Heero and Quatre coming out the bathroom together.

(scene switches)

            Trowa is doing laps in the pool after seeing Duo and Wufei together in the library. He was foolish to think that Duo would fall for him. He was only a friend.

(going back)

 

            Duo sighed happily as he ran his fingers through his hair as the hot water beat down on him. He didn’t see anybody come into the bathroom until bronze colored arms wrapped around his pale flesh.

            “Wufei”, Duo moaned feeling his strong hands rub his flat belly.

“Hi Duo, you don’t mind if I shower here right?” Wufei said innocently.

 

            Quatre blushed hearing Duo and Wufei moan and passionately yell each other names. They came out with towels wrapped around their waist and Duo’s hair wrapped in a towel.

            “Love the shampoo…”                                   “Quatre”   (herbal essences)

                                                “Quatre” Wufei said.

 

Wufei kissed Duo on the nose and told him that he had to talk something over w/ the guys but he should get something to eat. Duo walked down to the kitchen after he dressed w/ his hair flowing behind him.

 

            “what is it that you need to talk about?”

 

            “a new enemy had formed, they practice the doings of your former foe Shing”.

 

            “you may call me Wufei, yes I have heard that Treize’s daughter is after my neck for killing her daddy, but is she really that much harm?” Heero stepped forward, “yes, she is going to hard you greatly.. She had Dekim behind her.”

            Wufei stood straight up, “I though he was dead”

 

Duo said “thank you” as the chef placed a plate of Lobster Lasagna in front of him and some garlic break.

 

            “everybody get to the ground”, Quatre said suddenly. Everybody did so w/o question, less then a minute later a waterfall of bullets came through the window and stopped with an arrow w/ a note attached to it. It came through the window and caught by Wufei.

 

            “what does it say?”

 

            “your morning star has fallen, so make a wish”

 

            “DUO!” Trowa said. He sprinted toward the doors, “he should be in the kitchen” Wufei said catching up with Trowa.

            They ran to the kitchen to see a dead kitchen staff and broken china on the floor. Trowa saw something sparkle and picked up the broken chain w/ the rings he had given to Duo. They saw thread marks on the sand in front of Quatre’s home and followed it after getting supplies.

 

            Wufei was screaming demands in Chinese over the phone as Trowa tracked the tired tracks and Heero drove. Quatre tried to get a mental feel of where Duo was and yelled out in pain when he found Duo. Wufei dropped the phone to the ground and asked Quatre what was wrong. Quatre said something like Duo was in pain, etc…

            Heero hi-tailed it to Duo’s location. They stormed into the building killing everybody until Duo, MarieMarie, and Dekim were standing. Heero and Quatre supported each other and Wufei’s men stood behind them. Wufei ordered them to leave saying it was their deed to handle. The men shuffled out of the building.

 

            MaryMarie stood proudly in front of the 4 heads of the dragons. Dekim stood aside from her w/ Duo @ her side. Trowa discreetly raised a dagger and flung it @ Dekim’s windpipe. Everybody watched as Dekim fell like a pile of bricks. They stayed silent as Duo pulled the knife out and wiped the still wet blood off onto Dekim’s clothes and threw it back @ Trowa. Trowa caught it by the hild and put it back in his sheath. MarieMary started speaking as Zechs’ past alliances came out.

 

            “I will show you how powerless your little mob is ‘dragon’” Wufei saw Duo walked away from M.M. and into the empty space separating the 2 groups. A shot was fired and all hell broke loose. Duo did not move once from where he stood as the 4 fought around him The 5 men stood in a circle w/Duo in the center as they saw M.M. fall.

 

            They broke apart thinking that everything was okay. Wufei didn’t notice anything moving until he heard a gun go off and a bullet zooming toward Duo.

 

            “DUO”, he yelled, Duo still stood like a mindless doll, Wufei pushed Duo aside and felt the bullet pummel through his skill and kill him. Duo fell to the ground with Wufei bleeding on top of him. The three saw a crystal year roll down Duo’s face and onto the ground.

 

            Heero and Trowa picked Wufei up and went to bury him. Quatre helped Duo off the ground and tried to form a mind link to see what was wrong with Duo. He saw a mental blocking slowly forming in Duo and quickly broke it down having Duo black out in his arms.

 

            Heero game to find them telling them that they were finished. Heero cradled Duo and walked to where Trowa solemnly stood. Quatre stood with his back against Heero’s seeing Duo wake up on the ground. Duo asked where Wufei was and Trowa directed to the earth in front of him. Duo got onto his knees pounding on the ground tears filling his eyes.

 

            “you buried him wrong!” he yelled, “ you were supposed to bury him with me.” Duo whispered falling over Wufei’s grave. Quatre dropped to the ground in sorrow feeling Duo’s loneliness, pain, and sadness.

 

The scene (story) moves to Trowa’s house in Europe. Quatre followed Heero to stay with Trowa because Duo would not go anywhere w/o Trowa. They all agreed to go to Trowa’s condo. After Wufei died the dragon’s broke apart and no mobs were formed since.

 

It had been two years since the death of Chang, Wufei and Duo was pretty much back to his happy, genki self. Trowa got him to sit still as he braided some ribbons into his hair.

 

            “you aren’t supposed to see me.. It’s bad luck”, Duo complained.

 

            “tough luck, I feel lost w/o my Duo”, Trowa said dramatically.

 

Duo got up and kissed Trowa when he finished Duo’s hair. Duo convinced Trowa to cut off some of his bang, so Trowa Barton stood w/ 2 green eyes and an armful of Duo.

 

            “let me get dressed”, Trowa said releasing Duo.

 

            “but I like you this way,” Duo said running his tongue up Trowa’s spine.

 

Trowa grabbed him by his bony hips and set him on the bed & quickly yanked some pants onto him.

 

            “no fair!” Duo pouted. Trowa kissed Duo’s nose and he went to find his own tux. Trowa walked down the aisle with Duo @ his arm. They separated as they reached the front and stood beside Quatre and Heero. They all saw the last usher closing the door behind him and they never looked back.
