Heya Guys! This is a new story I thought I'd try out, let me know what you think! I'm sorry if Heero and Wufei are OOC but they had to be for this to work... Hope you all enjoy it!

The Hostile Negotiations

It had started on an ordinary day, I was training the twelve men in my village that wanted to learn to fight. My name is Heero Yuy and I am only 14 years old but I have won many international competitions in two types of martial arts and I was training those interested in learning either to compete or to stay in shape. We always trained out in the open in the cool evening air and we were about two minutes from the village entrance.

We were just finishing for the night when we noticed smoke rising from the hill slightly to the left of the village. We gave each other one horrified look before running back to the village, I ran through the chaos of the burning streets and towards my house that was on the far side of the village. I was torn for a moment between protecting the rest of the villagers and protecting my young cousin who was the last of my family.

I ran full pelt towards my house taking notice of the men dragging the younger and prettier girls and women from the houses and taking them somewhere, I also noticed that all the children and the men were being killed and that the men I had left to protect the village were not even being given a sporting chance as they were either shot by arrows or attacked by men carrying swords. I felt a flush of anger that they would not even be granted an honourable death.

When I reached my house I threw open the door and rushed up the stairs lifting Shuichi from where he lay asleep in his bed and carrying him from the house. We made it as far as the end of the street before we were stopped by some guards, I placed Shuichi behind me and adopted a fighting stance lashing out at my opponents before they could use their weapons and managing to disarm ten opponents and subdue a further eight.

I then noticed who I supposed was their leader approaching us as the opposition parted with a respectful bow to him. He looked to be a few years older than me but younger than most of the men that were attacking the village. He bowed to me before taking up a fighting stance, I merely took my own denying him the respect of bowing. He sneered at me before attacking with a fast series of jabs that had me on guard and dodging unable to counter. I knew that he was a better fighter than I was as I had received no formal training so I tried to take him out as quickly as possible.

I was quickly tiring from the fight and I knew that if I failed then Shuichi would be killed and I couldn't allow that so I put in one desperate final attack and managed to push him to the ground as I stepped back and noticed that we were surrounded by guards most of which had crossbows. I knew that I had been defeated but I wouldn't go out without a fight. I felt Shuichi latch onto my leg and I lowered my hand to his hair offering some comfort to him. The man on the ground slowly stood and offered me a pleased grin.

"Chang Wufei." He introduced.

"Heero Yuy." I said reluctantly wondering why he bothered.

"I have a proposition that will ensure the life of you and the child." He said.

I waited wondering what he wanted. "You will come with me and you will submit to me."

"Submit to you in what way?" I asked for clarification weighing up the pros and cons.

"In all ways, you will submit to me as a fighter and as a companion." I stiffened at the leer I heard in his voice.

I was ready to refuse when I felt a tug on my leg and I looked at Shuichi, he was most important to me now. I had to ensure his survival no matter the cost to myself. I pulled the five year old into my arms and sat him on my hip.

"I accept but if you want me to submit as a companion," I spat the word. "Then you'll have to fight me fairly for that honour."

"It would be my pleasure." Wufei replied before motioning for me to follow him.

As we walked through the village I was saddened by the sheer destruction that had taken place and I felt my eyes prickle with tears as I saw my fallen comrades and friends bodies carelessly dumped on the ground as the village burned. I felt a strong flame of anger when I saw the women and girls being forced into carriages and into an unknown fate but I knew that I was powerless to help them.

I was escorted into a private vehicle and Wufei entered with us. I sat as far from Wufei as I could and kept Shuichi cuddled to my chest in a strong embrace. We kept silent and the ride dragged on and on as my thoughts kept wandering to the unsure future that lay ahead. I knew that I would do anything to ensure the survival of my last family member just the same as my parents gave their lives to save me.

I was startled as we pulled up to a large traditional Chinese house, it had three wings and imposing gates that gave an ominous creak as the car pulled up to the front of the house. I took a good look at our surroundings taking in the security and any likely escape points for if we ever got the chance before I turned my attention back to the house. I listened as Wufei told me that we were confined to the West wing and that there would be no staff to help out if I lost the challenge tomorrow as I would have to provide my wifely duties. I bristled at his mocking tone before ignoring him completely and ushering Shuichi in ahead of me so I could put him back to bed.

"You will meet me at 8am for breakfast." Wufei ordered as we entered the house. "Then we can have our match." He said turning towards the North wing.

I gently settled Shuichi in his bed allowing him to wear my shirt as we had brought no belongings with us and I knew that I would have to request some in the morning. I smiled softly as I stroked his hair helping to settle him into a deeper sleep before I lay in a futon next to him and tried to sleep although it took me a long time to finally drift off.
