__________________________________________

'Eight...8 long years...has it really been that long we've been separate' Duo Maxwell sat atop the roof of the safe house. His thoughts came back to a time when he lived in the Maxwell Church. He was at the age of seven and was only orphan left, unwanted and friendless. Except for Sister Helen, but she didn't really count seeing she was twice his age. Instead of going out to play with the other' children, Duo became reclusive, observing them from his window. It was because he was a street rat they shunned him in the first place. All but him. Him, one of the normal kids had come to Duo, and asked the small orphan kid to play with him. His name was Jason Tomoe, a 10-year-old earth child. His family was visiting the colony, and he wanted to be Duo's friend. Even weirder, he too had been ignored but Duo couldn't tell why.

"Why...why are you pushed around by the others? You don't smell or something? Do you?
"....Hehehe n-no....At first I thought it was because I'm from earth, but the real reason, is my hair..."

Duo had noticed it as well; the boy had a strange tint of hair, not normal even for a colony child. His head was like a lawn of grass, hairs of green shone and shimmered in the sun. However, as strange as he was, Duo still accepted him

"Ahh...Jason, he was one weird kid..." Duos whispered straighten out his teenage body on the titles. Jason was...special. He made up stories and songs just about anything...far away lands, life and death...you name it. That boy was a blast, had to be the bestest best friend a kid could have. Even several times, he stuck up for Duo when the other kids decided to pick on them. He continued to think back to strange green haired earth kid....his last memory of his childhood friend was the most painful, but one the other hand...heart warming. Jason's family was returning to earth, which meant Duo and Jason best friend relationship, had to end...

"What?!?...b--but y--you can't leave..." Duo shuddered tiring to keep the tears in, he promised himself he wouldn't cry, but it hurt too much.
"I know..." Jason wiped his already bawling eyes...
"But...just because I'm leaving doesn't mean we can't keep in touch. Right??"
"Jas..."
"Duo...we'll see each other again someday..."
"Jason!!" It was his twin sister Meg, she was calling him. It was time to go.... (A/N: Awww...I'm gonna cry T-T Wahhh)
"Ok I'm c--coming..." he started crying again....he stepped forward, toward Duo gripping him in a small bear hug, little Duo hugged back. Until Jason backed away, his lips tipped to the side, showing off a small smirk. Duo sadly smiled back. Then Jason did something unexpected, (No not that!! Perverted Readers) he took out his most prized possession, a Yin / Yang medallion, breaking it in two and handing one half to Duo.

"This is....this is so you'll remember me....and our promise...ok Duo!" He sniffled and ran the opposite direction, have been called by not just his sister but his mother as well, and he didn't want to get in trouble. Duo examined the glass jewellery piece in his small palm. Watching his only friend dash to the space shuttle and waving to him from the door before stepping inside, of course Duo waved back...hoping someday he'll see his friend come back.The American was brought back but a common familiar line of shrieks and yelling...'heheheh I believe Wufei found the small paint job he did on Nataku, well he for sure knew it was me....better run for it, just to play it safe.' (That's Duo for you)

Mission Accepted
Location - Kyoto Japan

The mission - plain and simple get in the base, past the security, the guards and the cameras, crash the systems and get out alive...piece of cake. His job was to sneak into the main control room and shut down as much as he could. Then once that was taken care of, he was to let his partner in crime Mr. Prefect Solider - Heero Yuy take over from there.

(Duo's POV)

Therefore, I'm in the main office fiddling with the keyboard entering the codes, when I'm suddenly cut off....

"Your time is up...now would you please step away from the computer" a deep soothing voice tore me into danger mode. Great....caught! I turn around, of course, it's just going to be another of your everyday OZ wannabe soldier but... when I came face and face with...a teenager?? Boy was I wrong. Stranger still he wasn't carrying a gun, and such a good-looking one for a person working for the enemy, and at least my age too how lucky am I. To bad, I'll have to kill him instead. Then again, to my disappointment, I couldn't really see his face; it was covered by a piece of spandex cloth from the base of his nose to his neck and possibility further. Oh and don't get my started on the rest of his uniform....he's definitely not Oz material. To match the face mask a black bandana with a small metal plate and in the middle of that was some sort of shape like inscription on it. The bandana covering his entire head, in addition was more leather /spandex and black clothing for the rest of the ensemble....a green vest that ends at his waist. All I can say is this person has a very different choice of style. Anyway, above all that stuff what I could only see was his Prussian blue eyes and his hair that falls in front his forehead and eyes. Wait a tick.....??

Green Hair....???

"No....no it can't be!!!"
"Huh" the guard (like warrior) who was clueless drops his shoulders in confusion.
"Uh...never mind...so Mr. guard what you going to do with me now that you caught me?...kill me?"
"Heh...no, but don't think yourself lucky, because I'm bring you into custody" he smirked, or at least I think he did, you can't tell with his facemask....
"Oh really...well you gotta have to grab me first" I mocked, standing my place, ready to run for my life. However, I guess he had the same thing in mind, because before I knew it he had me cornered to the east wall. "Man that was fast, I didn't even see yea move" His body close to mine, which in this case of situation gave me no time to reach for my weapon because he could easily take it from me or get his own and kill me. I had nowhere to run and place to hide.

"..." 'Great this is just isn't my day, being caught by some hot, sexy...whoa! No, no...Where that come from?.....BAD DUO!!!'Suddenly there was an explosion, the whole room shook. The soldier and I tried to stand our ground, but didn't help much. We stumbled and fell on top of each other, chest to chest...uhg how embarrassing. I tried to detach myself, as did he, but something had been caught, He reached for the culprit. We both found the answer; my old black chipped medallion piece was stuck to....His old white broken medallion piece....

"!!!"
"!!!"
"Uh...No Way!!"
"...My thoughts exactly"
"D-d-duo is that really you?"
"Who wants to know, are you really the weird little green haired kid I knew 8 years ago"
"Heheh Jason Tomoe at your service" he said and yanked down his spandex facemask, and wow...uh...he sure grew out. In others words I'm saying he's uber hot... (Drool worthy)
"Alright, then can you get off me..." but I wouldn't say anything about what I was really thinking, because that would be stupid...especially when were on different sides, duh!
"Eppp...heheh sorry"
"Wow it really is you, I don't believe it" I look close again, I was for sure it's my friend, I mean my old friend...who knows what he's like now...
"Duo!!" we heard someone calling for me.
"Uh oh..."
"Maxwell!! Where the hell are you!?!"
"Maxwell??" Jason questioned...I laughed nervously scratching the back of my head.
"I'll explain later, but for now, I gotta get outta here...if...?"
"Yeah get going....." he answered and sounded quite disappointed...
"Ahh...really, you'd let me leave!"
"DUO!"
The doors swished open, and there stood my best friend Heero Yuy...and he didn't look happy, but for once his glare wasn't targeted toward me...oh crap. Heero aimed his small hand held gun at Jason, who was a little freaked, he was unable to move. I mean I can't blame him. If only looks could kill as they say. I had to do something quick, before I lose another one.

"Uh...Hee...er...01...don't do anything drastic" I said quickly, standing between my two best friends, even if one was suppose to me our enemy. Jason gave off this confusing look, and started to stare at Heero as if he had two extra heads.
Jason's thoughts -

'Hiro?...'
"02 Stand down, he's one of them" Heero remained the perfect solder, not moving his gun from his target, well if he isn't going to back down, either am I, even if it meant going through me first. He walked up to me and pushed...more like shoved me out of the way so he could get a clear shot. Ok maybe not, but still I can't let him go through with this! Jason might be on the other team, but we could ask him to transfer, if he's the same boy I knew, he'd do it.

"No!...You don't understand" I wanted to explain, but it was to late...

Bang......(Ok I know! I suck; just bare with me T-T)

__________________________________________

I was soo angry when we returned, I would have kicked the crap out of that Japanese jerk, too bad I was unconscious. You see after Heero shot Jason, I became hysterical and he had no choice but to knock my lights out. Nevertheless, as soon as I do wake up, I will make him pay. SNORE.....yes I snore...what you going to do about it!

"Hey Duo time to wake up" I heard Quatre's voice and I smelt breakfast not too far away. I aroused (woke up), opening my sleepy eyelids to see not only Quatre, Wufei and Trowa...and obvious no Heero.
"Hey where's Heero?" I asked in a drowsy tone, just so they didn't expect anything, or was it because I was dead tired. Any who, before they answered Quatre told me to eat, and we'd talk about it later....What later?...What they talking about? Hmmm no tells me anything around here...Maybe they think something bad happened, well some events of last night were nasty. At least I think it was last night, I don't fully know how long I've been out. All I know for sure I'm going to get some answers and that's final. Making up my mind, I set to eating one of Quatre hearty delicious breakfasts. Once done that, I set out to seek my new punching bag...Grrr. I found him in the living room, typing on his computer laptop...as usual. Approaching the perfect solider, face-to-face. He's still moving those fingers....still typing. Completely ignoring me as I'm giving off this wicked glare too. WHY IS HE NOT DOING ANYTHING...at least look up! Bastard........

"Heero" I growled lowly....
"...."
"Grrrr...Heero Yuy!!"
"...."
"GRRRR" I snarled some more. He stopped, fingers rose slightly above the keys. Finally some action. (Heh)He closes his precious laptop and stands up. Face to face, and.....He walks away.............................WHAT!! You can't do that, I wanted
revenge or at least a verbal fight.Enough was enough; I will get back at him. I followed him as he entered the hall; Wufei passes by to go into the kitchen. I had reached my level of angry; I dashed up to Heero grabbing him by the shoulders and slammed him in to the corridor wall. Heero gives me his worse glare ever, he was pissed, Well so was I.......... So were even.

"Nani?" he asked sternly glaring the famous - Heero Yuy Glare
"You killed him" I almost blubbered out, close to tears. Heero glare wore off and softened slowly. He didn't understand of course he couldn't...no one could.

"Hn" he responded and tried to free himself from my grip.
"That's just like you. Just brush it off. I was going to explain my position, but you had to go ahead and kill my best friend. We made a promise!" I was screaming by now, and the tears were flowing like the Niagara Falls. Releasing my clutching hands from his shoulders, visible red marks were left behind. Looking one last time in those Prussian blue eyes, I got my sorry ass out of there and away from him. I heard the door slam behind me; I knew for sure that the other three would heard me. Turning the next corner, I headed to the park a few some blocks away. I didn't care what happened; I just wanted to be alone for a while. To get my emotions under control. Then maybe, just maybe I could talk it out with the guys.The night was a little nippy, and I didn't bring a jacket, all I had was my loose black t-shirt and navy denim jeans. The water works were just a comin' by the time I sat down. I felt I could just crawl into a hole and die. Hey wouldn't that be nice, then Jason and I could hang out for all eternity. I chuckle to myself with that thought and cried myself to sleep.

~~~~~~

Back at the safe house, everyone was standing around shocked. But no one was as shocked as Heero.

"What in the name of Buddha was that all about?" Wufei whispered to Trowa, who shrugged. Quatre became very worried, wanting to talk to their Japanese comrade, but also to go after Duo and comfort him for whatever reason. Maybe one of them would be willing to share sides towards earlier events. The blond was going to talk to Heero but Trowa decide to intervene, good idea too. Heero was still standing in the hall, eyes wide open, shocked and confused.

'Duo....?'

After several minutes of silence, Heero does regain his posture and returns to his work without a word to anyone, about Duo or about the incident. Quatre escapes from Trowa's grasp, and confronts the perfect solider.
"Quatre no...Stop...leave it be"
"It ok, I'll let him do the talking" (A/N; I had something good planned for this next part, but I had to get off the computer and totally forgot....so you'll have to just deal...Gomen minna-san ^. ^;;)
The blonde enters the living room or den (whatever you people call it,) setting himself on the couch / sofa next to Heero, and turns on the TV. Once beginning the art to channel surfing, Quatre shifts his vision to Heero from the corner of his eye, giving off this strange look. Heero spied a look at the blond as well, raising a eyebrow.
"..."
Quatre continues to give of this nerve reeking gaze, finally getting on Heero's case. He storms out of the room, and down the hall he sighs and said
"I'll got find him and talk this out"Quatre smiles in victory(Quatre sure works in mysterious ways, don't he?)
__________________________________

The Perfect Soldier did retrieve Shinigami. Heero located his braided comrade in the park, slivering cold and a side of guilt shot him in the ass when he noticed that Duo's face were stained in dried tears. Not to mention a slight fever, a mere 101 degrees. Nothing a gundam pilot couldn't handle.A week later, Duo was up and back to normal, except for the fact the he or Heero hadn't spoke a word to each other. The Japanese teen did promise to compromise or even just confront Duo, when the time was right. Every time claiming the same thing...

"When the time is right..."

~~~

The next day Heero was called away on a solo mission, and he'd be gone for a while. Duo seems fine with this; actually, he was happy at the news, something about "That Japanese Back Stabbing..." Quatre didn't catch it all, and who would want to. Nevertheless, just adding to the trouble, with Heero gone, Duo let himself free to curse upon the perfect soldiers head. Quatre wanted to do the natural thing and comfort the American, and luckily, Trowa and Wufei caught him before he made matters worse. However, Quatre gave them the look. (PUPPY EYES OF DOOM!! MWHAHAH) The two caved in.

"Hey Duo, how do you say it...uh...Wassup?"
"Heheh...I'm good ...wait why?" the sudden happy feeling shattered...
"Oh no reason, hey you know what? Trowa and I are going out and Wufei will be in the basement to train, so you'll have the TV all to yourself. So why don't you sit relax and watch some good old American TV...and you know isn't that...er...singing Idol contest thingy program on soon?"
"You mean American Idol...yeah it is? Fine I'll stay here...have fun"
"Oh we will, and if you need anything you know Wufei is here for you"
"Uh...Quatre?"
"Yeah Duo?"
"Thanks" he smiled for real. Quatre grinned widely turning his back dashing down the hall and latched on to Trowa's arm dragging him out and away from the house. Duo smiled again for his friend antics, I mean Q-man's right Duo needed to chill for a while, he's using all his energy just staying mad at Heero, and with the bastard gone for a while, he can sit on the sofa like the American couch potato he should be and lighten up. Switching on the TV, flipping through the channels when his favourite show American Idol flashed before his eyes.
"Oh yeah I didn't miss it...let's see what happening this week" 'Welcome singing fans to the greatest show ever! American Idol...today we
bring back a popular singer. After returning from his home country Japan welcome back Jason Tomoe!' the host told the camera, and its viewers.

CLAP WHISTLE CHEERING

"Huh?"....Jason???? No, it couldn't be Heero shot him...right...RIGHT!! Duo directed his full attention to the TV screen when the singer approached the stage and to the Americans disbelief, it was him. Green hair and Blue eyes.
"What will you be doing tonight Jas?"
"A personal song...Go! Fighting Dreamers!!"
"Oh... is it American or what?"
"Sorry folks but tonight you get a taste of the far east, my own home away from home
"Alrighty then, and would like to send this out to anyone?"
"You bet I do, the song is dedicated to two people, first is my son Naruto and second is my old childhood friend Duo Maxwell!" he finished by flashing the camera with wide toothy grin and showing off his index and middle finger in the peace sign.

CLAP WHISTLE CHEERING

/Music starts up an awesome guitar mixed drums beat/ Jason takes his mic and
belts it out in Japanese and a bit of English...
We are Fighting Dreamers Takami wo mezashite
Fighting Dreamers Narifuri kamawazu
Fighting Dreamers Shinjiru ga mama ni
Oli Oli Oli Oli-! Just go my way!
~~
Right here Right now (Bang!)
Buppanase Like a dangan LINER!
Right here Right now (Burn!)
Buttakitteku ze Get the fire!

The song continues for about 4 minutes, when Jason clams down a bit with a huge smile on his goofy yet handsome face and finishes the song with repeating the chorus a few times. As Duo watched he became like mesmerized, Jason sang with such...joy and spirit.

Right here Right now (Bang!)
Buppanase Like a dangan LINER!
Right here Right now (Burn!)
Buttakitteku ze Get the fire!
Right here Right now (Bang!)
Buppanase Like a dangan LINER!
Right here Right now (Burn!)
Buttakitteku ze Get the fire!

CLAP WHISTLE CHEERING

"Wow and I mean wow!" the announcer came on the stage in shock, guess he never heard a good Japanese song before ever. Duo was amazed too, 'wait did he dedicate the song to me, well someone else first but still.....hold on! He has a son...gees I would never have thought Jason as a father type. I guess everyone has to settle down sometime, right...yeah I'm right. Ahh but most important of all is Jason's alive...He's Alive!' he screamed into his head. He shut off the TV, feeling much better, once knowing if Jason was alive and not...well, you know. Moreover, that means he doesn't have to hate Heero anymore, "My decision is finally when Heero gets back I will apologize to him face to face." Duo declared 'Oh I bet he'll be happy, as everyone else it's been so quiet around here lately, but that will change.' That said he felt relived and got ready to hit the hay, in the morning Duo will put his plan into action.

~~~~~

Next morning, Duo came down the stairs so happy, like a child on Christmas day, Heero had retuned late that night and hadn't spoken a word since he came down, when Duo bounced into the kitchen Heero seemed to have tensed up a bit.

"Morning!!!"
"Uh...hey Maxwell, mind telling us what your so happy about?" Wufei asked somewhat nervous.
"Oh nothing, why? Can't a person be giddy! Oh and Heero?"
"Hn"
"I'm sorry!" Duo said without hesitation, the other four boys stood in shock...Quatre and Wufei spit out the coffee remaining in their mouth they were sipping, flying over the counter and kitchen table.
"Wha-what?" Wu-man stuttered Q-ball was in a state of shock and Trowa well he was silent (what else is new?)
"You heard me, I sincerely apologize to you" he repeated and even added a proper bow.
"I don't get it?"
Therefore, Duo told them about last night, Jason's being completely animate, and all, and made sure not leaving out the amazing Japanese pop song.
"So he was alive after all?" T-bone added his two cent of the conversation in all of his monotone-ness.
"Yup, I never forget a face...especially someone like him; he's one of those people that are impossible put out of your mind"
"Wow...so uh...how could he of survived" Quatre asked
"Uh...I don't know...Heero any ideas?"
"It's possible he wore a bullet proof vest, or it's possible he survived from the bullet" Hee-chan quoting it in his oh-so-monotone voice.
"Well what ever the case maybe, the real question is he still on OZ's side" Wu-man made himself noticeable
"No! Never! He could...he'd never side with them,"
"..." everyone else except me.
"Duo...."
"And even if he did, we can reason with him, and ask him to change
sides...right?" Duo said as a matter of fact.
"Hmmmm....We can try?"
"He's right you never know until we try"
Now for the next task at hand, how to find him? Could he still be near by like at the studio where American Idol was taped or did he move out already....????

~~~~~

Duo retuned to his room from another boring piece of cake mission. Where he flopped on his nice comfy soft bed....."Nuh bed...sleep" he moaned. He was just seconds away from dreamland, when an irritating beeping sound awoke him. 'No not now, I'm tired and want sleep...BAD' the noise continued, finally getting fed up Duo dragged his half dead of a body to the edge of the bed and tired to locate his bag which held his laptop.....and then sleep will soon follow.At long last his reached the infernal beeping object. Lifting the top to view
the screen, he noticed he got mail....

"Now who it their right minds would email a person so late at night....WHO I ask you!"

"Maxwell-GO-TO-SLEEP!!!" I don't have to mention who that is....

//Author: Wuffers hehehe
WC: That's Wufei!!
Author: EPPP I'M SORRY!!!//

"OK, OK....geez" Duo shouted back, putting the laptop back in it's case, then crawling under the covers for a nice earned sleep....

"Heheheheheh...but now I'm to excited for Saturday"

~~~~~

Saturday finally came around, and Duo was leaping with joy. He and Quatre sat in the kitchen, when actually the blond Arabian was on a chair. Duo on the other hand was bouncing around babbling with excitement about meeting his old childhood friend.

"Yeah! Yeah! Jason's coming today, we're going to meet up in Central Park and he's brining his kids....this is great, right...hehehehehe"
"Duo please calm down...it's not such a huge deal"
"Not a big deal! You're mistaken my friend...Jason is a great person and..."
"Is that all the data you got?"
"Yea, yea it is,........Well I haven't seen him in 8 years, except that encounter at the base...besides who knows how much he's changed" the American realized this fact and now was in a panic.
"Uh...Duo"
"I mean...he is older of course and in the road of life one needs to change in order to survive, in addition I can't really expect him to be the same guy I knew back then....uhhhh" he goes on and on
"Duo? DUO!"
"What!"
"I'm sure everything will be fine but it's time to go, didn't you say were going to meet him before noon?" Quatre pointed toward the kitchen clock.
"Oh shit, right....gotta go, later...."
"Tell me everything when you get back, every detail!"
"Sure, sure. Bye!"

_______________----------------------------_______________


America
New York, New York
Jason's house- actually it was rented apartment where the four were staying.

"Naruto! Gaara! Sasuke! Time to go!"
"Coming!" yelled the blond,
"Hn" snorted the other two. The three boys exited their room and entered the front hall making sure they have everything.
"Got your bags..."
"Check!" the boys gave a shout, and within those backpacks were something they added themselves, in addition to the necessaries. Snacks, water bottles, extra clothes (just in case) and anything else you can image up that they may need.
"Ok everyone ready, then let's move them out!"
"Roger!

~~~~~

America
New York
Central Park

Duo Maxwell arrived at the large park right on time. The day was perfect, a nice smooth breeze and not a cloud in the sky. The sun was out and shining to it's full potential. Now the only thing to make the day even better, is his buddy...who is no where to be seen.

'Jas where are you?' Duo turned his vision in every direction, and still no sign of his friend

"Jas...Ouff!" the braided American was tackled to the ground, by a strong force behind him.
"Duo-san!"
"Uh...Ah Jason...OH it's so great to see you!" the other boy got off his friend but only to be tackled in a bear hug.
"Eh, sorry were late, but I forgot to get the critters some grub to eat before we left, so we grabbed something on the way here, ok"
"Uh...Oh that's fine...so where are these little monsters" Duo finger quoted on the references to his friends kids.
"Right oooovver...??? Huh, where they get to now?? Damn they got away from me again... HN buttheads"
"Heheh...can't find them just standing around, now can we?"
"Your right...."
After 10 minutes, the two teens spotted the three younger squirts sitting by the pond munching on their brunch. Throwing confusing glances toward their 'father' and his girly looking friend dashing over to them all tired and just plain pooped out. Of course, they found this amusing. Now the kids had food in their bellies, Jason and Duo stretched out on the grass and caught up about the old times, while making sure the younger trouble makers were still in sight.
"Now you guys go play ...have fun!"
"And don't destroy anything!" Jason added last minute.
"Hai!" they agreed and ran off
"Ptttttt" Duo snorted containing his laughter. Maybe Duo was overreacting, Jason seemed like the same person from back then, funny and caring...somewhere in the middle of mature and well, not. The older male was always so eccentric, and even a little over protective, Jason was...Jason.
"So?" the green haired teen broke the silence... facing his long lost friend he hadn't seen or heard from in 8 years... for he too wanted to know if Duo was the same Duo he once knew.
"So what?"
"So what have you been up too...duh?"
"Uh...well there's not much to tell..."
"Ha...that's a lie and you know it!"
"Hmm your right....that my motto...I run and hide but I never tell a lie"
"Ahha...so you almost broke that motto...Duo, Duo, Duo..."
"What?"
"Seriously? Now tell your bud what kind of path life's given yea?"
"Nope you first!"
"Ok fine...uh...where do I start?"
"Well where else...the beginning!"
"Oh ok...Ahem...In a galaxy far, far away..." monotone spoke he did. (Heheheh YODA)
"No! Not that far back!"
"Ok, ok. Uh...oh I know! Well after my family left your colony, we made it back home to earth where my mother left for Germanyto begin her career of a student doctor, and my dad had to care for us. Of course there was nothing wrong with that, just he wasn't a very good cooking back in the day, so we ordered out a lot, heh."
"Hey how is your sister..?"
"Hmm...Oh, she's great, a couple years back she met this rich guy, married him and had a child....a little girl her name's Maria. She is like the cutest thing in the universe, but for some reason it didn't wok out so they broke it off and Meg got to keep the kid. Which I end up babysitting most of the time....grrr. THEN she went through one or two other guys: all failures until she meet this one guy and now their planning to get hitched...soo it's all good... it's gooood...hehehe"
"Heh well that's good to hear"
"Uh huh anyway 2 years later when I was twelve I began exploring...that's a big thing in our family, my friends and I were only preteens and we were perfectly allowed to travel on our own. So like I was saying a few years later I ended up in this large village, I somehow fell from a high cliff or something, and I landed on this kid's roof. A kid only 5 years old and living completely on his own. And no one to care for him"
"Didn't they have an orphanage or something?"
"NO ...not at all and I'm sure if the locals of this village knew the real kid and not just the prank loving 24-7 ramen eating little hyperactive knucklehead he is, they would somehow realized he just a sad lonely little boy. However, the whole village despised this child; hordes of people would pick on him. Once I saw this, it made me soo angry, I saved the kid and guess what I did Duo?"
"What?"
"I adopted him... oh sure he had a few friends, like his teacher who is like an older brother to him, and this guy is in his early 20's or something...well training to become a teacher, heh"
"Huh...you mean one of them...." Duo pointed over toward the kids who were doing their own thing. The black haired boy was sitting upon a big rock, drawing in his little sketchbook. The red head was bouncing a soccer ball from one of his knees to the other and the blond one was running around trying to take pictures of animals, screaming at them to stay still... It was a humorous sight.
"Heheheheh yup...so anyway a few months later I happen to come across the other two, who also had sad childhoods, so..., I added them to our weird little family."
"Wow that really great...then what?"
"Ohh...well uh...maybe you can tell me some of your story...then we can go back and forth...ok for you?"
"Yeah sounds like fun...ok...you ready...because this is going to blow your mind"
"Try me!"
Then that began the tale of Duo Maxwell, telling Jason the story before they even met and then after he left. And that meant telling him about Solo and then describing the Maxwell massacre. Then joining the Sweepers and finally becoming a Gundam pilot. Now that really got Jason's attention.
"What!!! Your one of them!!!"
"Uh...Jas...I"
"Wow how cool!"
"Hu...wha?"
"My bud's a robot-pilot...awesome!!!" Duo could see the spark in his old friend's eyes; he was uber excited about it. It actually felt good to know his work is appreciated...'wait robot pilot...I guess if you think about it, it's correct' (Sweat drop)
"Yeah! Whenever they talk about them on the TV, I always cheer for that black metal robot thingy...he's my fav"
"Metal robot thingy?" Duo twitched at the words, but then he thought about it 'my gundam is black, could he mean mine?'
"I think it was called death- something?"
'Ah-he does!' "You mean DEATHSYTHE"
"Hey yeah, deathsythe...hold a tic...it's that your user name 'scythe'........ Could it be?"
'UH HO' The braided man feared for his life
"AHHHHH your deathsythe's pilot......this is even cooler!!!!!" Jason rose from his place and tackled the braided American to the ground. The older teen's rough housing caught the attention of the kids and several people near by.
"...."
"Wow...wow....this is...oh my god...sooo cool!!!"
"Ok, alright...clam down will yea"
"Oh...heheh sorry"
"So now it's your turn again"
And away Jason went, describing his childhood, and jobs and adventures...Jason believed they were nothing special, I mean hello their nothing compared to a metal robot thingy...I mean Gundam. But he was wrong, Duo was fascinated. Trained in martial arts, Ninjitsu, hapkedo before 19 years old, the best and worse babysitting jobs nobody had ever seen. In addition, as a well known pop / rock star in Japan and North America! At the end of the day, the big yellow red sun was slowly descending, and families and couples were heading for home. Therefore, Jason decided it was time to head back to the apartment. He didn't want to leave yet, but the young ones were already half asleep. Duo didn't have to return to the safe house right away, so he volunteered to help Jason with the task in getting the kids to bed, and maybe some coffee afterwards....
"No coffee...eck"
"Hahahaha"
"How about some hot chocolate instead?"
"Sure why not...."

~~~~~
(Duo's POV)

We reached the rented apartment, and while Jason put the 'critters' to bed while I used the phone to tell the others where I was. Just in case their wondering why I wasn't back yet.
"Hello?" Quatre voice came from the other side.
"Hi, it's Duo"
"Duo...where are you? Are you ok?"
"Hai, Hai I'm fine, I just wanted to ring you up and give you the lowdown of my whereabouts....ok...everything is fine. I'm at Jason's apartment with his kids, and I'm probably going to kick back here for a while then head back there later...ok"
"Ok....but be careful.....we don't want another bad encounter or mishap or anything, got that!"
"Yes mother hen, I understand...ok later"
"Mother hen...why you....grrr...fine goodbye" and hung up, I followed suit...just as Jason came back into the room. He yawned and crashed on the couch stretching out as far as he could go.
"Hn...Is there any room on there for me" I asked...looking for a place to sit. He eventually moved his legs for me to crash as well. I've waited for a perfect time to ask this but somehow asking it during the afternoon in the middle of the park didn't seem like the perfect place.
"Jason? Are you still part of OZ?" the question must have been a shock because the moment I said it he almost fell off the couch.
"Huh?" he scrambled to his feet and came close and personal with my face.
"Are you or are you not with OZ??...I mean you were working for them when we met in Japan right...am I right?"
"Uhh..." he said with sounding slightly embarrassed in his voice.
"Please tell me I'm wrong?"
"Duo...believe me, you have nothing to worry about I'm not with OZ I never really was, I just needed a job...and they were the best option at the moment"
"Oh...really!"
"Really really"
"Hmm...Good I'm glad"
"And I'm not going back either...cause you know your comrade shot me then hours but later I woke up and..."
"Yeah, how did you survive Heero's bullet?" I interrupted.
"Heero? Is that his name?"
"Yeah...he's my best bud, other then you, sorry but I've known him longer"
"Oh I understand that...but yeah I had a weapon in the pocket that was over my heart and believe me that thing is a lifesaver but it sure hurts like hell. I was out for hours...but like I was saying they found me later and I was fired for like (quote end quote) sleeping on the job...seriously...weird people those OZ dudes. So I never wanna be like them, I mean have you seen those uniforms. That why I was in my own when we met."
"Totally agree with you man" both of us grinned like the stupid idiots we were and slapped some skin, meaning we high 5ived.
"Daddy..." a small voice interrupts the older boy's conversation.
"Huh...hey Gaara-chan...What's the matter?"
"I-I had a bad dream" the young little red head boy with big black rings around his eyes cringed....I looked back from the child to my friend to witness the blue eyes soften. Whatever it was...it felt wrong. I mean what with the big black rings around his eyes...was it makeup or what?
"Aww...poor little guy...comer" Jason calls and the kid walks over and cuddles in the older boy's lap. I was in awe at the sight on this adorable father / son moment...I say too cute my friends.
"This small fry hasn't slept in days...."
"Oh...what's wrong with him?"
"Insomnia...I don't know what to do?"
"He looked fine this afternoon"
"That's because he got at least one hour tops of bed rest"
'Ahh, that's why...poor little guy'
"Ah...wish I could help"
"Ehhh.... there's nothing we can do but hope that Gaara will get over it...or something...not worries....I'll find something"
"Yeah..." I look over the clock on the TV vcr... it read it was now
10:00...hmmm...maybe I should head back now, don't want them to worry to much over me....heheh Jason noticed my gesture and checked he time as well.
"Wow...it's getting late, will Heero be upset...?"
"Nah... The guys will understand"
"If so, why don't you stay over....I wanna hear about these guys...other friends of yours?"
"Oh yeah...other metal robot pilots" Another spaz attack, I mean gasp
"Awesome...oh ok wait here...um...you grab something from the kitchen if you want...while I take the little raccoon back to the den...heh"

I have no idea what he just said....but whatever. Jason sits up and carries the small redhead back in the bedroom.............Oh I get it raccoon / black rings...den / bedroom...gotcha!When Jason returned I was in the kitchen in the search for food, hey this is me were talking about...the bottomless pit. He found me and joined me. Jason approached the counter and sat atop of its marble surface then looked over at me....I bet he knew I still had more questions to ask...and he's right.
"Hey Jas?"
"Yes Duo?" answering like he knew that I knew that he knew he wanted to ask me some more questions...
"How did you get me email" a second or two my old friend just stared like I have third eye on my forehead, blinking slowly another second...then suddenly smiles....
"Easy! I asked Commander Une for it"
"Wha...uh...er...huh...how do you know her...?" I stuttered
"Oh I guess I forgot to tell yea," he said with a grin and a shrug.
"Obviously?"
"I joined the Preventers" What is with all the surprises all of the sudden!!! I mean seriously!!!
"Y-you did" I dropped my sandwich on my plate and gave my old friend my full attention.
"Yup, the day after I was fired from OZ, I found another organization The Preventers. It's great, they even have a dental plan, and a childcare plan as well..., and the uniforms there kind of have style so that's ok. I can handle that as least" he smirks...
"...."
"Uh...dude you ok? You look a little pale"
"It's just I didn't know we'd be working together"
"Yup...well I'm not a high rank like you, but at least we'll see each other like almost every day"
"Yea?"
"Well I believe it's time we hit the hay" he said with a nod and a smile.
"Huh..."
"Head to bed?"
"Oh right...but can I eat first?"
"Heheheh...yeah sorry"
"..." me munching on sandwich.
"You know what?"
"Wah" (translation: Yeah)
"Your friend Heero, hmmm....uh never mind?"
"Mo mawt?" (No What?)
"No it's ok, it's just I thought I've seen him before"
Gulp "Huh?"
"I just don't know from where, but something at the back of my mind tells me from along time ago /heh/ but I'm probably just imagining things"
"...?" I give him the old cute puppy head tilt.
"Urgg...well, if I remember correctly I use to know someone who looked exactly like your friend when I was a kid"
"Before or after you met me?"
"Uh...before, I think. Gahh just forget I said anything...it was along time ago and I'm too dumb to remember and besides there's no way...."
"Huh no way what?"
"Oh nothing....time to change topic!"
"..." 'I know your hiding something Jason'
"What? Do I have something on my face?"
"Pttt..."
"Ok now where are you, my humble guess going to sleep....you could A) sleep on the couch. B) On the floor. Or C) take my bed. It's your choice?" he asked moving the conversation to center of the apartment...the living room finished my sandwich in record time, I followed him.
"Hehe, I'll gladly take the couch"
"Nonsense...take my bed"
"I thought I had a choice"
"Well I guess changed my mind..."
"What makes you boss"
"Oh I don't know because I'm taller and older the you"
"Heh...oh yeah" I said with fake anger, and the more I thought about it we did similar things in the old days, play fighting. We never got in a not real argument and we would just wrestle and 'beat each other up' it was great. And by the look on his goofy face, I believe he remembers those times as well...
"Yeah" because he looks like he's ready to pounce on me...
"..."
'And in...3...2...1...
"Bonzai!" he quietly shouted
"..." so you know, he did. And boy is he strong, almost as Heero.
"Heh....hahahahah"
"Hahahahhahahah"
"Ehh...snore" (kids)
"Shush!" Jason whispered, "Our loud rough housing almost woke the cute little monsters"
"You started it!" I accused him
"Ah did not"
"Ah did too" I mocked him
"...."
"..."
"Heheheh" we giggled quietly
"hehehehe...hahahahhahah" that giggling trued into snorts and then laughing. Soon after shutting up and end up crashing on the floor where we laid, talking a while longer but soon letting sleep take us within a couple minutes.

~~~~~~~

I woke the next morning, rubbing the crustiness from my eyes (I know eww I hate it!) and adjusted my head, painfully I mind you to gain my surroundings...ok lets see I'm on a carpet floor, and I can't feel the left half of my body. Why is that?I tried to sit up only to fall back because of the numbness and lack of support from my other half. I lay in the position for a while until I become fully awake that when I notice the noise of someone snoring...and a mass of green grass in my face. What is grass doing here I reach out to touch it, oh its
hair. Hahah I'm dumb, it's Jason's head duh! And that concludes Jason is laying on top on my arm and leg....boy am I slow, and he's still asleep....well if I ever want to feel my left side of my body again, better wake him up.
"Jas..?"
"..."
"Hey bonehead time to wake up"
"Not now mommy, just 5ive more minutes"
'Mommy? You got to kidding me'
"Jason, seriously dude its morning, get moving"
"I don't want to got to school today, I wanna stay home and bake cookies with you" he mumbles and rolls off my arm and leg thus clamping his arms around my torso, and continues to doze off...Fuuun...Its morning, early in the morning and the guys are probably up already, and I hope for all that is decent in the world that they aren't. Because if they know that I didn't return last night...oh the horrible possibilities.

Possibility #1
"Duo didn't come back last night....he for sure was captured"
"We must save him" mono tone
THEN they get caught once after realizing I was never there in the first
place, then even worse could be killed...

"..................................................................................."

Okay note to self, I'm not longer allowed to use my imagination anymore.SO now what, Jason is out of commission for the moment and he has me in a bear hug lock, I think I have said this before but my buddy here he's a strong guy. I really can't get loose.............damn.
Just then the door behind me and the dead weight creeks open, and the three pairs of eyes lay on us, blinking for several minutes one of the kids, the blond one, start snickering. And for the first time, I got a real good look at them, they are actually really really CUTE, adorable even. Baby blue crystal eyes and like shining sunlight hair, hey with his looks how could he not. The snickering one...what was his name, Naruo, bimbo (wait no), Naruto 'yeah that's it!' The slightly taller boy, the redhead....oh yeah Gaara also known as raccoon boy. His hair is almost the shade of blood would...freaky. Then there was the last boy, he was taller then the other two so maybe he's the oldest as well. I don't believe I know his name, Jason never told me. But this one, he looked more Asian then...well more then Heero! Solid blackish blue hair and eyes, and right now has a kind of scary look in those black pupils of his.Bring myself back to reality I realized the rug rats are still staring it seemed to me like a confused or frightened sort of gawk or what it their father they were gazing at.

"What are you doing?" one finally says something.
"Uh....trying not to get crushed" I almost squeaked
"Oh..."
"Need a hand?" the oldest boy asked
"...yes please" I show off a cheeky grin, Naruto grins right back. I try to watch what the kids had in mind on how to free me. They disappear from my view as they step to the other side of their 'father' and before I knew it, Jason released his grip around my torso, turning over completely to his other side and was back to sleep in no time.I thanked the boys for their help; they retuned with a no problem and said they'll tell their 'father' about this morning's incident later. I thanked them again and ran off back to the safe house ready to face whatever comes my way.
_______________________

I take out the key for my motorcycle (my baby) and fish out my keys to the safe house. We all have our own set, and even a spare, you know just in case some one loses their own somehow. Hehe they all said I'd be the first to lose them, but 'Ta Da' I still got it. Anyway, off topic, I unlock the door and walk in.

All is quiet....

"Maybe I was lucky and their still sleeping, woo go Duo..."
"I think not...02"
CRAP!!!...and I was soo close
"Heheh hey Hee-chan wassup?" I move toward the voice talking to me, point living room/den whatever. I glace over to the corner of the room seeing no one and the moment I turned around. Take a wild guess who I see, but the face an angry Heero Yuy. Alright scratch that...Scary angry Heero Yuy, talk about glare full power.
"What's up is you failed to return before curfew"
"We have curfews?"
I'm not pretending to be stupid, I didn't really know...seriously!
"Hai"
"Oh... well I'm here now and I didn't hit any snags or bad guys so no harm done...right"
"Hn"
So far so good...yet, I can't tell if that last 'Hn" was a good one or a bad one. I should know which is which by now, but nooo...!
"02"
"Heero...I have a name...say it with me, D-U-O"
"I don't want you seeing that friend of yours from now on" it was like acid was poured on the word 'friend' as he said it.
"...huh WHAT! You can't do that! You have no authority to do that!"
"I'm doing this for your own good, he's our enemy"

What the hell is this guy's problem?!

"No he's not, I got a straight answer from him, and he's not a bad guy!"
"You can't just take his word for it; he may be leading you on."
"How can you say that, he's my friend? And I thought you were as well, but I see the great Heero Yuy can't respect others own choices and blind by his own perfect ness to see that I can take care of myself" Oww...ok maybe a went a
little to far on that one. I could see it in his eyes, pain and sorrow...whaaaa I'm such a bad friend! Ok I need to stop think and talking to myself, I'm creeping myself out....focus of Heero.
"I am thinking of you, I'm doing this because..."
"Because what? Come on say it!"
"Because I don't.....want to lose you...."
"What?"
"Never mind, just get some rest...we have a mission tonight"
"Heero...I..."
"..." but before I could get another word out of my big stupid mouth he walks past me, heading back to bed or to his precious laptop...whatever...What's with that guy, he says one thing then says another, and to think I had him planned and figured out...guess I was wrong...
___________________________________

Later that night, after another successful mission, I returned to my room, flopped on my bed like dead weight, wheeee!!!This is all Heero's fault...telling me I can't see Jason. Well screw him, I do what I please. Ahh damn it, that whole conversation earlier could have way
gone better, like I could have told him that Jason had joined the Preventers, Duh. But did I, NO! I'm stupid and got tongue tied, just because Heero is scary and sexy and....Whoa! Where did that come from? Oh wait, I've always found the prefect soldier attractive, and who's to afraid to admit it?

ME, I am....why? Because...

1) He'd probably kill me (most likely)

2) I wouldn't want to destroy the friendship that I've work extremely hard to create after all these years

3) He's bring me back from hell and beat my ass a second time

I mean if I told Heero that I've liked him, he would he hate me; think I'm gross and disgusting. That I've gone against my religion just because my hormones will go out of it's own way to take the last of my dignity to get some, even if its with another male...And just what did Heero mean by "I don't want to lose you"......................Then it hit me, was he saying he actually, truly liked me?....Nah. I guess in his terms, I can at least believe he values our friendship...that's better then nothing. On the other hand, maybe....he jealous...of Jason. (Long pause)........................PWTTTTTTTTT...Heero jealous of Jason, that's a hoot!!!...What's there to be jealous about? ACH! The fact that Jason and I have some sort of bond, and after all these years thanks from the war, he and I were reunited and can go about like we
were never separated in the first place...Ohhh Or maybe it's like one of those cheesy soap's and Heero does like me, but he's been hiding it from me since we first met, and them Jason comes along and carries me off in the sunset, leaving Heero in ruins with his only chance gone to finally spill his feeling of undying love to me and junk....Hahah like that would ever happen....I laugh at the very thought...HAW HAW. Like Jason would have feelings for me that way, no way right. I mean for all I know he's likes girls, not guys...Uh...but I don't know, we never came around to that topic, you know dating and marriage and stuff. And those three boys are his adopted kids, not his real sons...so he actually could be (dare I say it)....gay...What! Stop looking at me that way....Hey! It can happen...Well he is the touchy feeling kind of person, but it's all like hugs and good stuff, he's not a pervert or nothing...No he's definitely not the type of guy who picks up people on the street, and for money no less...No!!! Jason's a wholesome, good-hearted, deed doing, nice, sweet and kind type. I know he is, he has too be.....not taking notice while I was in my inner monolog, I was pacing around the room, waving my arms almost like I was bird in mid fight...

"ARGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!!"
"Duo! Are you alright!"
"Heheheeh.... ahh Q-man! Y-yeah I'm fine just thinking and you know me, I got a little carried away"//Jason carrying you off into the sunset//
"Gahhhhh"
"Uh...Duo?" he gives me his worried face with a mix of //I think he's lost his mind//
"Yup" I regain my composer
"Do you want to talk about it?"
I thought about it for a moment. Do I really need to tell someone about this? Then I thought, YES, Dammit yes I do!
"Quatre, I think you'll need to sit down for this"
"Uh...ok"

And so my torture truly begins

~~~~~

"You like Heero!?"
"Shhhh....please Q-man keep your voice down, I don't want the whole world to know...let alone Hee-chan"
"Oh sorry"
"Sigh..."
"So for how long have been keeping this secret from me? Huh! I mean I knew you liked him, but as like a brother..."
"Uh....like forever"
"Hn..."
"Aww...come on don't be like that Q, you know I didn't mean it. You know how it is?"
"...."
"Hey who's keep your big secret about your crush on Trowa for sooo long, huh, who I ask you!?"
"You did...But I told Trowa soon after, and we've been together ever since"
"Yes I kept up my end of the bargain even though Trowa actually asked me what was up with you, after you were avoiding him"
"True, true...besides you know I would never tell Heero unless you wanted me to"
"I know you would man, and that's why you're like my best friend"
"Glad to hear it. Sooo what are you going to do, tell him?"
"Hell no, I can't spill my guts, he'd hate me"
"Now, you don't know that for sure."
"Yeah I guess...but what if"
"Duo? Heero is your best friend, he'd understand"
"Yeah, probably...If it was someone else I have crush on, NOT HIM!"
"But are you sure he's even straight, huh?"
"Uh...not really"
"Well then?"
"Well then what...you want me to...OH NO, you can't possibly mean...NOPE, THERE IS NO WAY!"
"What's with the noise in here" Wufei joins the two in Duo's room...
"WuFEI HOW'S IT GOING? Heeheheheheheh..."
"Winner is he alright?"
"Yes, indeed, he's fine and dandy, right as rain...Heheheeh"
"O...k? Well I came up here to ask you guys to keep it down, I was meditating and uh..."
"Oh, sorry about that, we'll be quieter...promise"
"Yeah I'll believe it when I see and hear it"
"Okie dokie, he- he- heh bye... (Door slams) ok what that all about, right as rain."
"It was the best I could think of anything."
"Ok fine"
"Alright now, what are we, and I say we I mean you going to do about this Jason guy?"
"Huh what are you talking about?"
"It's simple, from what you said obviously there's some rival conflict between Heero and you friend Jason"
"Rivalry conflicts, please explain?"
"Well After you spent your night at his house-"
"Rented apartment"
"At his rented apartment, Heero probably sees him as a threat-"
"But like I told you before, he's on our side, he got fired-"
"That's not what I meant, so stop interrupting"
"Sorry"
"Anyway like I was saying Heero seeing him as a threat as your best friend, Like Jason is trying to take his place in that role, that you will cast Heero aside for your former best friend"
"I don't see that, Jason could never take his place, Heero and Jason are both my best friends...stupid Hee-chan" I pouted at the thought.
"Yeah, but you know Heero; he doesn't think outside the box. Only what's placed in front of him, you see."
"Yeah I get it...thanks Q; you've really helped me a lot"
"Your very welcome, now if you'll excuse me, I have to start preparing dinner" Q-man gets up off my floor and pats off imagery dust from his pants and heads to the door.
"Ok...uh...wait"
"Yeah?"
"Uh, so what's my next move?"
"Well duh...invite Jason over for dinner, of course. I'll talk it with the others about it and we'll go from there."
___

So that very night Duo sent Jason an email....

To: Pyro626
From: Sythe02
Subject: WASSSSUP!

Jason...I have news....well first I hope your 'critters' informed you of our morning cuddle... but because of it I came home "after curfew" and I almost got the "your forbid to see him anymore" but it's all cool now...and I'm suppose to ask you if you wanted to come over for dinner. You can meet Heero....this time I'm sure he won't be carrying a gun, of course you never know with him, so don't expect much....but I'm definably sure you'll like the other three....

PWEASE COME....


Your best bud
DM
Peace Out! : P

"And send...and for Shinigami's sake I hope this doesn't go belly up"

~~~~

In the next room over, Heero was hunched over his laptop...what was he doing?

"You best bud...we'll see about that...."

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...this cannot be good...
