Disclaimer: Well... everyone knows it... I don't own Gundam Wing or any of it's characters... who reads these things, anyway?
Hmm... Oh, yeah... Special thanx to Shakespear of Anime and deathwraith (hmm... sorta reminds me of a ff9 boss...) for reviewing my first chapter! Anyways... on to the next chapter!

Warnings: Everyone's somewhat OOC in this chapter (in my opinion, of course). Well, love makes you do funny things... Oh, and shounen ai... but I guess you knew that if you read the first chapter...

"Yes, master... affirmative. I will attempt to retrieve him at all costs." A dark figure turned towards the door, slim curves and soft, melodious voice clearly marking this figure as female.
"One more thing. You will not 'attempt', you WILL retrieve him!" A man's rough voice echoed around the hall, echoes amplifying his voice by at least ten-fold, causing the female to somewhat shake and quiver with fear (1).
"Y-Yes! As you wish, master..." She quickly fled the room, hoping her hasty retreat was not enough to earn her her master's ire.

Duo was raiding the fridge at Quatre's mansion. It seemed his insatiable appetite was, well, never sated. It was time for breakfast, but today, Quatre wasn't feeling up to making pancakes. So, instead, he lounged about the dining table and watched everyone else get their own breakfast.
"I don't think this was a good idea, skipping pancakes today, little one." Trowa watched Duo with an amused look in his eyes, wrapping a protective arm around Quatre. Quatre laughed, cheeks growing rosy at the pet name Trowa had used.
"Well," said Duo haughtily,"I'd like to see you just *attempt* to eat as much as I have!"
"If I ate as much as you did, I'd be so big, I'd have my own zip code (2)!"
"Why you...!"
Breakfast ended after a few tossing-around-of-foodstuffs at the Winner Estate.
Earlier that week, Quatre had, not only invited Trowa for tea, but all the other Gundam Pilots as well, minus Heero. Quatre ended up inviting them to stay, so here they were.
/So... is this where he is?/ A woman looked out over the estate, making sure she was not caught by any of the guards.
~Ding dong~ The doorbell sounded.
"I'll get it." Duo ran to the front door. /Gee, I wonder who it is... Hope it ain't Hilde.../ Duo opened the door.
"Hello!" called out Duo earnestly. He looked out and gasped. "H-Heero! Wow! What a pleasant surprise! Where were you?!"
Heero only looked at Duo expectantly.
"Oh, right! I forgot my manners!--"
"Since when did you have any manners, Maxwell?" A voice called out from within the building. Duo turned and glared into the building before turning his attention back to Heero.
"Come in, Heero!" It took all of Duo's will power to keep him from running out and hugging Heero.
"Hn. Finally..." Heero went inside, Duo shutting the door and following Heero. /You're still the same, Duo...but something's different./
"Heero!" Quatre *did* run out and hug Heero. Heero stood there, unsure of what to do.
/Quatre...still loves to hug people,/ Heero thought.
/Now why didn't I do that. Oh right. Heero probably would have mauled me. The reason why he's not squeezing the life from Quatre is 'cause... well, it's Quatre.../ Duo watched them, wishing he was in Quatre's place. Trowa looked miffed. Wufei came out from his meditating to see what was going on.
"So... where were you, Heero?"
"I... don't want to talk about it."
"Okay, Heero. We respect your privacy." None of the other pilots looked like they agreed with Quatre, but they let the matter drop.
"Well," said Duo,"I think we still have some leftovers from this morning. You can have 'em if you like."
"You could eat them if you wanted, Yuy, but I don't think they're safe. Maxwell's been tossing around food all morning."
"Hey! It wasn't only me! Quatre and Trowa was tossing food too!"
"Hey, I only threw one piece of bread. Trowa threw a lot more than I did." Mass sweatdropping.
Trowa gave his koi a mock glare.
"Oh, I'm sorry, Trowa.Yeah, Duo threw most of the food, but you're still welcome to them, Heero."
"Hey! Well, thanks alot, Q-man..."
"Sorry Duo. I shouldn't of said that about you."
" I can go without breakfast, thanks anyway."
"Good choice, Yuy. Now at least we know you won't die of food poisoning."
"What was *that* supposed to mean, Wu-man?!"
The morning carried on, not so peacefully since Heero arrived.
********************************************
"I've located the area he's in, master. Should I go in and capture him? I can do it, quickly and efficiently, you know."
"No... Not yet. I want to see why he's here. I want you to stay there and spy for me. Give me all the information you find about him."
"Yes... affirmative, master. I will make sure you receive all information about him."
"Good... Bring me some jelly-filled doughnuts, while you're at it."
*sweatdrop* "Very well, master."
********************************************
/ I'm glad I got here. Duo's being a bit strange around me, though. Hn. I'll look into it later, though it's just like that braided baka to be weird./
Duo slowly walked up to Heero with a plate full of food.
"Here, Hee-chan. This food came straight from the fridge and hasn't been touched yet." Heero looked surprised at Duo's use of the pet name. Duo grinned. /Yes! He didn't maul me! I am soooo good! /
"Hn. Arigatou, baka." Heero seemed to have regained some of his composure.
"You're welcome... hey! I am *not* a baka!"
Heero smirked. "Is that so..."
"I am not a baka!" Duo stomped off, muttering empty threats to himself.
Quatre and Trowa stepped up beside Heero, looking off the balcony.
"It's a nice day today, isn't it?" A small breeze blew through the balcony. The sun was shining brightly.
"Yes, little one. It is a nice day today."
"Hn."
Crashing noises sounded within the mansion, followed by cursing.
"Kisama, Maxwell! Never, ever, bother me while I'm meditating! Come back here!"
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"I think the nice day just ended, little one."
"No, I think as long as you're here, It'll be a nice day all day."
Quatre and Trowa shared a small kiss, oblivious to the world around them for that small, short moment.
/It would be nice if Duo kissed me... What am I thinking? Seeing as Duo's the way he is, he probably wouldn't want to. Besides, I don't even like that baka! Hmmm... But, just maybe.../
Quatre and Trowa retreated back into a bedroom, leaving Heero behind on the balcony with only his thoughts.
********************************************
"Master, it seems that he's at the Winner Estate. My spies and I have failed to find any reason for him to leave, so I believe that now is the time to strike. We can capture him for you, if that is what you desire."
"...Very well. Proceed with the utmost caution."
"As you wish, master."
"Oh, and I could use more of those doughnuts."
*sweatdrop* "Very well, master."
As she left her master's room, she glanced back at him. /You'd do well to watch your back, master./ At the word 'master', she sneered.
