Short disclaimer: I do not own any of the GW boys. Full disclaimer at the end. Silly warning: lots of little segments through out the chapter… and things get crazier, meaning more out of character ness.
Part One - Duo's past
Chapter three: Hopelessly reckless love
"She's not human…"
Heero just stared at him for a bit. "What are you talking about Wufei?"
Wufei just groaned and started up the steps again, "Why don't you come up here and ask her your self?"
Heero nodded and started up after Wufei.
*****************
When the door opened Kit and Duo looked up from the floor of her bedroom with worry in their eyes.
Wufei decided to take matters into his own hand, "What the hell do you think you two are doing?"
Duo closed his hand and stood up calmly. He grinned while helping Kit up, "We were playing poker, until you two walked in and disturbed us."
Kit threw her hand of cards on the floor showing a royal flush. "And I could have made some good money with that hand too." She put a hand on her hip irritably, "If you wanted to join us all you had to do was ask."
Heero just stared at the scene and he started to walk from the room, "I still don't know what you meant about her, Wufei."
Wufei roughly grabbed Heero's arm. "Just wait."
Kit looked into Wufei's face and collapsed onto the floor in exasperation. "You're Chinese aren't you?" Wufei just nodded. "Damn it. I was hoping not to be noticed till a bit later. Oh well time to get comfy."
With that she took off her cap and flung her head to let her hair free up. She shook her head and flung her head back in a cascade of silver shimmer. What was exposed after this sent only Heero's mind out of wack.
"Y-you have ears?!" The ears that were exposed were not normal ears. They were genuine gray fox ears, but proportioned to a humans form. "Then that makes the cape a…a…"
Kit kinda looked pissed at how Heero was taking it and stood up, "A tail, yeah. I know that." Her ear twitched slightly when she heard Wufei mumble 'demon'. She put both her hands on her hips and stared the two boys down with cold eyes, "Kitsune, fox demon, whatever you wanna call me, I'm here and I ain't no damn Chinese myth. I'm tired of people running from me because what I am, and I'm through with it. If you don't want me here I'll take my Gundam and leave!"
By that time all the yelling (sorta) had woken up the sleeping lovers on the floor level, causing them to come up as well. Quatre leaned against the doorframe with sleepy eyes. "Duo, who's your friend?"
Duo blinked and stared at Quatre, "This is Kit Skye…"
Trowa stared at Kit and gently wrapped his arms around Quatre's slim waist, "That's all fine and all, but some people were trying to sleep."
Quatre laughed and patted Trowa's arm, looking at kit all the while, "Don't mind him, he's just grouchy."
"Are not."
Quatre smiled and started to lead Trowa down the stairs, calmly throwing a comment to Kit, "Oh, nice tail by the way."
Kit nearly toppled over Heero and Wufei as she shoved her way to the door. "What did you say?"
Quatre stopped descending the stairs and turned to glare at her. "I said, nice tail. Do you have a hard time taking compliments or something?"
Kit tilted her head and smiled brightly, tail swishing in happiness, "Nope!"
He just stared at her in disbelief as Duo came up behind her and put his hands on her bare shoulders. "It's ok Q-man, it doesn't take that much to make my Kit happy."
Heero snapped around to look at Duo. "Your Kit?! When did she become yours?!" He walked over to the window and started through, "Well Duo, guess I've really lost you now…" He jumped off the balcony and headed away from the church and into the comforting darkness.
Duo turned to look longingly at the window as a light hand lay on his shoulder. "You should go after him, Max. Not all the time a guy is sad that he thinks that he lost the one he loved." Duo turned his head back to her almost like he wasn't sure. Kit just laughed and shoved him out the window playfully. "Get going you freak or you'll lose him."
***************
Duo was (not surprisingly) tripping over curbs hidden in the darkness left and right, but after many fights with the concrete and his face, he decided to give up on trying to find Heero. "This is hopeless, I'm never going to find him." He dropped his head between his knees. "And if I did, what would I do…" He got up and dusted off his pants.
In the shadows two cobalt blue eyes were staring at Duo as he started to pretend that he was talking to Heero himself.
"Hi Heero."
Then just slightly deeper, "Duo, why are you all scratched up?"
Duo laughed and threw some punches, then using his normal voice, "Well I just had to fight some guys in order to find you!"
Deeper voice, "What guys did you fight, the ones that lived in concrete?"
Duo's happy face drooped as his shoulders slumped, "Yeah."
"Why?"
"I did it to find you…because I…I…." He flung up his arms in the air, spun around in a circle, and plopped to the ground with tears in his violet eyes. "Oh hell, he won't care that I got hurt to find him." He brought up his cut hands to wipe away tears. "He wouldn't even care if I told him that I…."
Heero stepped out of the shadows, "That you what?"
Duo spun around, falling backwards, still crying, "Hee-chan!" Then he quickly remembered what he had been talking to himself about, and turned back around, hiding his tear stained face, "Oh why even bother too, you won't care either way."
Heero kneeled down behind him, "Yes I will." He gently moved his hands up Duo's recently untucked shirt, placing them on his bare stomach. Then he moved his mouth to his ear, "Duo, why are you all scratched up?"
Duo jumped back into Heero in surprise, "You saw me do that?!"
"Yes, and what makes you think I wouldn't care?"
Duo turned his head towards Heero's, "Because you've never told me that..that…"
"That I love you?" He lightly laughed and gently kissed Duo's lips, "Just because I have never said it," Heero carefully removed Duo's shirts and put his arms back around his waist. "Doesn't mean that I don't." Duo started to take off Heero's tanktop; he than laid his head on Heero's chest, tears still coming down his cheeks. "Do you understand that Duo?"
Duo nodded his head as Heero lay down on the concrete. "Heero? I love..."
Heero put a finger against Duo's lips and smiled, "I know Duo, I know."
*****************
Kit leaned against the window frame staring out at the colony. "God where are they. It shouldn't take him THIS long." She started to pace around her room while Quatre continued to stare at her. She suddenly stopped and headed for the window. "Oh for the love of hell! I'm going out to get him."
Quatre jumped off the floor and stopped her from going after Heero and Duo. "Wait, you can't!"
Kit stopped, but stayed close to the window. "And why shouldn't I?"
Quatre sighed, "It takes a while for them to make up."
She backed up from the window and laughed, "Why it's not like they're…."When the thought came to her, she momentarily forgot how to breathe. "They can't be….no."
Quatre just nodded as she fell to the floor, he knelt down to comfort her as she started to cry. "Are you saying that he never told you?"
Kit looked up into his face with hate burning in her eyes. And she practically spat out what she said.
"He told me that they were just 'very close friends'…"
