Chapter 3

"I'm going to have Heero one way or another!"

Duo blinked in Brady's wake as Brady turned on his heel and walked off. He then looked at Heero and raised an eyebrow.

"Care to explain?"

Heero banged his head on to his locker door. He had just escaped from the clutches of Relena's double to race from the changing room to his locker and was about to head over to history when he was yelled at from down the corridor and sure enough the blond boy was heading in his direction and the corridor was packed with students and Heero had no way of escaping Brady this time.

"What do you have next? I've got History with Mr Udden."

Brady grabbed Heero's hand and pulled him through the mass of bodies. Heero prayed silently to whatever god was listening to free him from the torture.

Duo was playing with his food. It was strange for Duo not to rush his food down.

"What's wrong?" Quatre asked. He sat down beside Duo and tucked into his own plate of food.

"Nothing."

"Something must be, you're not eating."

"Not hungry."

"Are you feeling alright?" Quatre asked concern.

"Fine." Duo spat as the blond bimbo walked in and glared across at Duo. "I think every guy in this school was sent to Relena's school."

"How come?"

"They all act like her. Brady follows Heero round and that guy we met yesterday keeps coming up to me."

"I don't get that."

"Kat I'm used to this but I HAVE a boyfriend now so why won't people stop following us?"

"They'll get the picture soon." Quatre reassured Duo.

"Hay guys."

Duo looked round at the girl and smiled at her.

"What's up?"

"We're going shopping after school. We were wondering if you would like to come along?"

"I'm sorry I don't..."

"We would love too!" Quatre smiled at Duo. "You need cheering up."

"Why what's wrong?" Cassie slipped next to Duo. "Is it that time of the month?"

Duo blushed red and hid his face.

"No need to be embarrassed Elli. We all go through it. Is it your first one ever?"

Duo blushed even redder. He didn't really know what to say back.

"Don't be shy be proud of your body!"

Duo wanted the Earth to shallow him up.

"You're coming tonight. We'll met you here as soon as the bell goes. If the pain gets really bad Elli come to me. I have some pills that will help. See ya." Cassie headed off as Heero, Wufei and Trowa arrived.

"What did she want?" Wufei asked.

Quatre tried to keep a straight face as Duo slid further down in his chair still blushing bright red.

"We're going out shopping with them but I said Duo could do with cheering up and Cassie took it the wrong way."

"Wrong way?" Wufei asked.

"She thought Duo was having his first…"

"Shut It!" Duo hissed.

"Period."

Wufei blinked then grabbed his nose. Duo went further under the table. The corner of Trowa's mouth twitched and Heero stared blankly at Duo.

"You are embarrassed about that?"

Duo nodded, "It's not the sort of thing I want to hear about!" Duo hissed.

"Get up." Heero tugged at Duo's shelve and Duo pulled himself upright.

"It's ok for you, you get to act like…"

"Hee~ro!"

It was Heero this time that ducked under the table… completely… and hide behind Duo's legs.

"I was going to say Man but how about mouse?"

The blond bimbo walked over quickly.

"Hello everyone." He smiled round at everyone before sticking his head under the table. "What are you doing down there Heero?"

"Um…"

"Do You Mind?" Duo suddenly shrieked bring Heero and Brady both up. Duo glared angrily at Brady. "You… You sick perverted boy!"

Brady looked shocked. "What?"

"Ah." Heero suddenly caught on to Duo's plot.

"Have you no shame?" Quatre asked.

"Shame?"

"Looking up a girls skirt like that!"

Brady blushed red and sat down quickly next to Duo. He took Duo's hand.

"I'm sorry."

"Forgiven." Duo smiled sweetly at Brady.

"Heero I was going to ask you something."

"No."

"Hear me out first. I have study hall with you after lunch, could I study with you?"

"No."

"Why not?"

"I said so."

"But Hee~ro."

"He said no you blond ditz!" Duo hissed at Brady. "Forget him he's mine!" To prove his point Duo stood up and French-kissed Heero very hard and very long in the middle of the canteen. Not that Heero minded at all.

Brady stared speechless at Duo and Heero. Duo smiled at Heero. His hands wrapped round Heero's neck while Heero held him round the middle.

"This isn't over Danielle!"

Duo smirked at Brady who stormed away.

"Heero you have three people fighting over you."

"But I've already won!" Duo smirked even more as he pulled Heero in for another kiss. "By a long way."

Heero entered the Study Hall and headed over towards the back. His laptop was held carefully under his arm and he loaded it up. There was an e-mail from J.

01,

   I have no idea what mission you are talking about. I never sent you a mission with that description. It's a fake. Someone wanted you there. Your new mission is to find out who and why! Stay low.

                                                                             J

Heero's eyes darken at the message. The mission was a fake? Then… Heero called up the old e-mail with the mission on and send a reply.

Who are you? What do you want?

Heero shut down e-mail and loaded up an oz document he had to read when he was sent an im.

01 isn't it?

"Who are you?"

I'll ask the questions. Tell me 01 are you at the school and are the other pilots in position?

"Why?"

Are you?

"Yes"

Good. I'll be in contract at a later date.

"Who Are You?"

Heero waited for a reply but got none. He shut down the net and looked round the study hall. He was the only pilot with a study period at the moment so he was in here alone.

"Can I study with you?" Heero looked up at the boy.

"If you wish."

"Thanks. I'm Stefan."

"Heero."

The boy, Stefan, had dark hair and dark eyes. His unsure smile and the way his eyes darted around the room gave Heero the impression that Stefan was almost scare of something.

"You're Japanese right?"

"Hai."

"Cool. I'm half Japanese, half Chinese."

Heero nodded and turned back to the oz file. Stefan sat next to him reading a history textbook. The time passed in silence.

Duo gulped as Cassie and Nerys dragged him through a series of shops. Another girl was with him. Her name was Kayo. Duo took a liking to Kayo. She was smart and funny; she had shoulder length light brown hair and hazelnut eyes. A small smile graced her lips always and her laugh was light and airy. She wore a pair of white jeans and a pale pink top showing off her figure to a tee. She was also on the run from the "hair collection les".

"Her name is Patsy. She's a freak really. She has her friends. Weird lot. She's been after my hair for ages. It used to be longer than yours but I have it all cut off. I prefer it short. She tried to get into the hairdresser to nick a bit. She's quite sad and I almost feel sorry for her. Oh lets try this. Elle hold out your hand."

Duo did as he was told. Kayo picked up a nail polish and applied some to Duo's nails.

"I heard you and Brady had a run in."

"He's after my boyfriend."

"I heard."

"Huh?"

"Brady is my step brother. I have to put up with him 24/7. You feel lucky."

"He is trying to take Heero from me."

"Poor you… there you go all done."

Duo raised his fingers and stared in horror at the blood red nail polish.

"I don't like red." He told her.

"It'll grow on you. Come on, I know what will make Heero beg for you."

Kayo grabbed Duo's hand and pulled him from the chemist. Duo looked round for Quatre.

"Shouldn't we wait for the others?"

"They know where we are heading. Come on."

Quatre stared at the pink bow Nerys had just placed in his hair.

"It really suits you."

Quatre didn't think so. He reached up to take it off but Cassie pushed his hands away.

"Trowa will love you."

"How you know?"

"Elle told us. She was right wasn't she? You are going out with Trowa?"

"Yeah. Elle has a big mouth. But I don't think Trowa will like it."

"Oh he will it looks soooooo cute!" Nerys said fluffy up Quatre's hair. "If you grew your hair a bit longer and then put it up like this it would look…."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH" Quatre backed away from the two girls. "Not pigtails. Anything but pigtails."

"Ok."

When Quatre opened his eyes ten minutes later he regretted saying "anything".

Duo stared at Kayo. "You have to be kidding me."

"Learn one thing babe, when it comes to shopping I never, Never Kid!"

Duo looked back up at the shop and gulped.

"Shinigami help me." Duo muttered before Kayo placed an iron grip on his upper arm and steered him into the lingerie shop.

Quatre tugged at the mini braids that covered his head and he yelped as he pulled one to hard.

"Leave them in Kat. Oh no, Kayo and Elle have gone off. We better go after them."

Quatre let go of his hair, unable to free even one braid and hurried after the two girls. He paused as they pushed open the door to the lingerie shop.

"I can't go in there." He said, even as a girl he still acted like a gentleman.

"Why on Earth not?"

"That's a women shop."

"We're all women Katie. Come on. Kayo is sure as hell to bring Elle into this place."

Quatre took a deep breath and entered the shop that no man ever dared to enter for a long while (1).

"QUATRE!" He turned as his name was hissed and Quatre looked around him. Duo was hid behind a stand.

"What's wrong?" Quatre made his way over, careful not to look or touch anything.

"Kayo is trying to get me to try some of this stuff on." Duo hissed, his face a pale white.

"Oh there you are."

Duo winced and disappeared quickly and skills brought only from his long years of living rough of the streets of L2 and the hard training to become a pilot stalked off away from Quatre and the other girls.

Quatre stared at the girls and cursed Duo for leaving him alone.

"Love the hair Katie." Kayo smirked. "Never let Cassie or Nerys near your hair, it will be the last thing you do."

"Thanks for the war...."

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" Broke through Quatre's sentence.

"Duo." Without giving the girls another thought Quatre bolted off to find his friend.

Duo had made it round the girls and was about to make a break for freedom when he felt his ponytail get tugged. Duo was about to turn and shout at the person who had dared to touch his hair but when he saw who it was he froze.

"Such lovely hair." She purred, her hand trailed the loose strands over her cheek.

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!" The scream was ripped from his throat before he realised he had made a sound.

"Duo!"

Quatre pulled the girl away from Duo and grabbed Duo's arm before Duo could do something he would later regret.

"Duo?" Quatre stared into Duo's eyes but the look in Duo's eye promised Death to the girl.

"You're Pasty right?" Duo hissed. She nodded. "Listen here, no one and I mean no one touches MY hair without MY permission. Do it again and I can't be blamed for the damage I cause." Duo then strolled away, doing pretty well considering he was wearing 3-inch heels and he had just put them on an hour ago.

Quatre also looked at the girl Pasty.

"You've been warned." He stated simply. "See you tomorrow guys. I better get after him before he does something stupid." Quatre waved good-bye and jogged after Duo.

Duo was laying full out on the double bed when there was a knock on the door. He couldn't explain what he was feeling. There was something about his hair. He hated to be seen with it down, in fact no one had ever seen his hair down completely. The way the girl had just took hold of his hair freaked him out and now he was laying face down on the bed trying to forget the feeling of her hands in his hair.

Quatre answered the door and spoke quietly to whoever it was. The door then shut.

Duo didn't glance up when the bed dipped next to him.

"Duo?"

Duo didn't answer, he didn't even hear his name being called. But he felt the hand that ran down his back, the fingertips just brushing his hair gently. He raised his face and pushed the hand away.

"Duo?"

Duo looked into deep Prussian. He dropped his gaze but did nothing to stop the hand that slowly undid the braid his hair was in. Soft, strong, gently hands ran through his hair freeing it from the tight plait. Then a brush replaced the hands and freed the silky mass from the tangles. Quick and swift hands re braided it and tried it off. Duo raised his gaze to met Heero's.

"Better?"

Duo nodded and threw his arms round Heero's neck. "Thank you." Slowly Heero returned the embrace.

The door was pushed open again and the two boys removed their arms from each other.

"Can we come in now?"

"Hn."

The other three pilots entered.

"What is this all about Heero?" Duo asked.

"This mission, it's fake." (2)

(1) – No matter how many of lingerie shops I go in I never see a male in there.

(2) – I know that you already know this but the other four pilots didn't!

What do you all think? Please keep reviewing! I'll try and get the next chapter soon. I figured this will be about 17 chapters long. Just another 14 to go. Bye
