A/N: Wow, this chapter didn�t take that long at all to write. Did a little on the ferry yesterday on the way back from the islands near where I live, and then wrote the rest right on the computer. Good timing too, since I�ve got a study session with Koneko in a few minutes. Hope you enjoy the new chapter and leave me nice reviews. I don�t own anything I didn�t create. Love you lots!

�A Thief in One Life, A Thief in the Next�

Chapter Twenty-Seven

Une�s Headache

The moment that Duo�s words had filtered through her head, Relena leapt into his arms with a happy squeal. Laughing, he spun her around before overbalancing. They ended up in a heap on the ground. �I�ll take it that you�re willing then.�

�Of course I�m willing, you moron!�

�Hey, watch the insults.�

Une watched the odd display with an amused shake of the head. �So, who�s going to be the bride?�

�The kid is,� Solo said as he packed away the cards. ��Cause Heero was at the Makai wedding. Kid�s turn now.� He smirked. �And such a pretty bride he�s gonna be too.�

Duo�s voice came drifting up from the pile as she tried to fit her mind around the idea of Yuy being any sort of bride. No, it just didn�t work. �It�s not too late to make you the flower girl, Solo.�

�Right. Shutting up now.�

�So how did you meet Maxwell?� Sally asked, going into mothering mode in reaction to the child. It helped push back the confused panic her brain was going into having seen someone shrink down in size while changing shape and not being able to explain it. It wasn�t possible! Right, focus on the boy. Wasn�t too hard either. He looked far too thin...

�We ran together on L2 when we were kids,� he said before correcting himself. �Well, when I was a child. Turns out he was just pretending. Physically a child, but not mentally and all that stuff. Kinda touching that he named himself after me. Makes me feel all warm and fuzzy.�

Une�s thoughts came to a standstill when she heard the phrase �we were kids.� �How old are you?�

Golden eyes fixed on her. �I was born twenty years ago. I died when I was eight.�

�You�re a ghost?�

�Ferrier to the river Styx, also known as the grim reaper. One of them, anyway. For about six years now,� he said cheerfully.

�Ah,� Une said, deciding that she really didn�t want to know anything further until her abused brain had some time to recover. �Alright then, shall we get back to HQ before the press gets wind of where we are?�

�Sounds like a good idea to me,� Duo said, stretching. �We all going to fit in the car?�

�We can take two more adults and Solo,� Sally said. He may have been twenty mentally, but his size was still that of a child. For once, it was useful.

�And everyone else will fit in the limo,� Relena added. Seeing Duo�s flinch, she laughed. �Don�t worry, I got it repainted since you saw it. It�s white now.�

�Thank the kami,� the thief said, breathing a sigh of relief. �Hey, what happened to my car? I drove it here before the show.�

�We had to towed to the HQ lot, don�t worry,� Une said in reassurance. �Yours too, Mr. Winner.�

Hiei and Kurama ended up accompanying Solo into the Preventor car while the pilots all followed Relena into her limo, Quatre and Duo cheerfully greeting Pagan and chattering lightly about what they�d seen as though they had been on vacation rather than missing. For those in the car, however, things weren�t nearly as relaxed.

�So,� Une said, clutching the wheel with white hands. �I�ve been given the who and what for the others, but I still have no idea what you are, Mr. Jaganshi.�

Seeing that Hiei had no intentions of answering, Kurama did it for him, ignoring the crimson glare he received. �Hiei�s a fire youkai, lord of Konchuu, one of the three kingdoms of the Makai, and my mate.�

The woman nodded, keeping an eye on the blond woman in the passenger seat, who still hadn�t quite gotten over the impossibility of Duo�s transformation. According to science, mass could not just vanish like that. The doctor looked to be distracting herself scribbling notes down on paper. �Do you yourself have any sort of title, Mr. Youko?�

�Call me Kurama if you don�t want to use my human name, everyone does� the red head said gently. �And yes, I do. Hiei and I are equals in status, though Gondara is the kingdom that I have claim to. Our friend Urimeshi Yusuke reigns over the third kingdom. I believe Kuronue may be gaining an unofficial rule over the L2 youkai and hanyou as well, from what I�ve heard from rumors. The colony has the greatest percentage of youkai versus humans in the human realm.�

Wonderful. Not only were they playing host to youkai in the Preventors, but they were hosting royal youkai. And one of the colonies was populated mostly by demons. The press would have a field day if they ever found out. She was suddenly glad that the existence of youkai was apparently kept under wraps.

Somehow, despite the fact that they would never find the leak, word had gotten out to the other agents that the seven had been located by the time they�d reached head quarters. Meaning that almost Preventor employee was waiting for them in the lobby, ready to welcome them back.

This of course meant that Heero was too busy fending off worried coworkers to notice when Duo got a more than slightly wicked gleam in his eyes. Without warning, the soldier�s hand was seized and he was pulled through the crowd (he suspected his mate was using more than human strength) and up onto the lobby desk. There, Duo held him close to his side, still grinning out over the heads of the crowd.

�Everybody, I have an announcement!�

In response to the yell, almost everyone was facing them a moment later, staring up in wait for what the formerly missing joker had to tell them.

To late, Heero caught on. �Duo, don�t you even think-�

�Heero and I are getting married!�

Said perfect soldier buried his face behind a hand as there was a loud cheer in the lobby, shaking his head in despair. Right, he�d lost the chance for anything discreet the moment he�d accepted the chimera�s proposal. How could he have forgotten.
