Cat and mouse~ Sequel to "The Love Bug"
Due to the urging of others to write a sequel *and mostly my lack of imagination of come up with a different plot* The sequel has become a reality.
Legal junk: No I don't own the GW and am only using this for fun. No $$ either.
Warnings: I have decided to include *or try to* some shonen-ai. So it's an odd mix of comedy and shonen-ai~ I had a bit of trouble combining the two~ Do be aware that this may get confusing~ I also chose to use a weird narrative. I don't know why, I just felt like it ^.~
We once again visit Duo's house. This time Hilde has moved away, due to finding another crush *Hey, I had to get rid of her somehow~* The house across the street has been rebuilt and this time Duo knows who the neighbors are. They aren't psychotic maniacs who tend to blow everything up, and Duo made sure of that. Since the event with Heero and Relena, things have changed, other than those above. The media coverage has disappeared, as it was too hard to keep up with the game of cat and mouse. The neighbors have come and gone, and Duo himself has changed. He had to buy new clothes since his black outfit had grown to small. Now Duo has a different wardrobe, a colorful one, due to the fact that no outfitter he could fine sold that type of clothing. However, some things had not changed. Duo still lived in the same house, that same house had not been blown up yet. And most importantly, of those things that had not changed, was Duo's screen name.
Shinigami02 got online at 7:00 am. Shinigami02 had surfed the web at 7:02 am. Shinigami02 got mail at 7:05 am. Shinigami02 had replied at 7:10 am. Shinigami02 was about to get off-line at 7:12 am. But, Shinigami02 had received IM.
OmaeOKorusu: Remember me?
Shinigami02: Oh Hi!
OmaeOKorusu:
Shinigami02: Are you trying to threaten me again?
OmaeOKorusu: Yes
Shinigami02: You did before and never went through with it. I don't believe you will.
OmaeOKorusu:
Shinigami02: What did I do now. You're the one who IMed me in the first place.
OmaeOKorusu: You let Relena live.
OmaeOKorusu: You allowed Relena to come after me
OmaeOKorusu: You didn't kill me when you could
OmaeOKorusu: You made me live through all this pain and torture.
OmaeOKorusu:
Shinigami02: Well why don't you come over.
Shinigami02: I'll see what I can do about making it easier for you to kill me.
OmaeOKorusu: Okay
Shinigami02: Do you remember where I live?
Message Pops up: OmaeOKorusu is not online.
Immediately following the logging off of Shinigami02, the doorbell rang.
Muttering something about psychotic killers being so fast, Duo answered the door. "Hi," Duo gasped. Heero had DEFINITELY not changed. Heero still wore the same spandex several sizes too small. He walked uncomfortably but Duo enjoyed this as he ogled with all his might. Heero also filled out his tank top more, so that it wasn't quite as loose. The only thing that had really changed was Heero's hair. It had been slightly cut off. "What happened to your hair?" Duo asked.
"Relena," was Heero's reply.
Contented with this answer Duo brought Heero in. "Sit down" Duo commanded so he could go get some refreshments.
Heero stood.
Walking back in with 2 drinks Duo handed one to Heero. "So what have you decided would be the best way to kill me?" Duo asked.
"Relena." Duo looked puzzled. Before he had a thing with Omae o korusu, did he replace it with Relena? Gods, she must be bad, Duo thought.
"Could you clarify that for me?"
"Relena will come to drive you insane as she did me."
"So you weren't insane before?" Duo said, surprise clearly showing through.
Heero's familiar glare returned to his face *not like it exactly left* Looking Duo strait in the eyes he said, "Omae o korusu." So he didn't get rid of that phrase, Duo noted.
"I thought that's what you came here to do."
This time it was Heero's turn to look surprised. Realizing that the boy had outwitted him, Heero glared as hard as he could. It's not affecting him, Heero's mind raged. I could get to like this boy Heero realized. But only if he survives the ultimate test, knowing that no one before had even gotten as far as this. In fact so far it seemed that only he and Duo had the strength to stand the terrifying screams of "Heero!" that seemed to follow him around. Heero remembered trying to hit on a Chinese boy but he could not take women, especially blondes with pink limos. He remembered meeting an Arabian who's wealth was enormous. Even the Arabian, his generous, nice, its always my fault personality which was practically his trademark, could not stand the annoying screams. They irritated him to death and out of sympathy Heero had ended it and left. The third try he got was with a silent clown. Relena was just too loud for him. Here, Duo had made it past the initial Relena stage, the omae o korusu stage, and the glaring stage. He had just one more to go. Heero admired Duo even more when he thought about how he had gotten rid of that virus so quickly. Who would have thought I'd fall in love with a longhaired baka?
Interrupting anything that Duo would have replied was the ring of the doorbell. Duo, guessing whom it was, went to answer the door and collapsed in relief. It's not Relena~ It's not Relena~ Duo's mind chanted in joy. For some weird reason Duo found that he didn't want the yodeling wonder to show up and chase Heero away.
"Hiya Hilde!" Duo said. *ack! I brought her back?!?! Ahh~! Where is this fic going?*
"Hi Duo. Thought I'd stop by since I was in the neighborhood. Aren't you going to invite me in Duo Maxwell? Where are your manners?" Hilde playfully scolded.
"Yeah, sure, come in! It's just that I was expecting another girl."
"Oh, already have a girlfriend? How come you never told me?"
"No! not like that! I was expecting Relena."
A look of shock passed Hilde's face as she remembered the past. "Why would she be here?"
"Cause Heero is."
Hilde practically ran from the house, had Duo not caught her. Blabbering, Hilde said, "Why? I told you. We promised! Duo *whine* what's your problem? We promised! Don't you remember? Not more people you met online over! Duo~"
"Shush Hilde! He only came to kill me!"
At this Hilde fainted.
"Heero!" Duo called into the house. "Help me bring Hilde in?"
"Can't she bring herself in?" Came Heero's voice down the stairs. Walking into view Heero's face soured.
"Heero, even if you don't like her, at least help me bring her upstairs!" Duo said grunting trying to bring Hilde up by himself.
"Hn." Heero went into help. Picking up her feet Heero thought, its not that I don't like her. I was GOING to blow up the house. Staring forlornly down his shirt where he had hidden the self detonation button Heero restrained himself. I don't want to kill Hilde in the process of testing Duo. Recalling and old man telling him, "Only those worthy of your love shall be able to with stand the curse *Relena* , the death threats, the glares, and the self detonations for then they shall be as insane as you. Be kind to those who you deem worthy, but the one who is truly worthy shall be the one you try to kill but cannot succeed. As proof of his love he shall undo the curse, making it go away." I see now, Heero thought. It was never Relena! Having thought that perhaps the old man was referring to Relena for she could survive all the requirements except get rid of the curse itself, Heero was greatly relieved now that he had found Duo. It must have been this baka all along. Now I have permission to kill her, Heero chuckled with glee.
Laying Hilde down on the bed Duo looked at Heero. He is cuter with those shorter bangs Duo thought. Suddenly Heero laughed. Oh my god~~~~~~ Duo started freaking out. He's going really crazy! Heero stopped laughing and smiled entertaining the idea of a life minus Relena. Wait. If I try to kill her she will be the one I try to kill. Heero frowned and grimaced.
Woah, this guy has got major mood swings, Duo thought while observing Heero from across Hilde. Heero moved, stretching like a cat. Duo almost ran up to Heero to see what he really felt like. No, I shouldn't be feeling this way for a maniac, Duo shook his head while watching Heero. Still Wait. What's that?
"What's this?" Duo said sticking his had down Heero's shirt, much to his pleasure as curiosity, and retrieving the small device. Duo's face darkened. "Why do you keep trying to blow things up?!?!"
Heero paused, debating whether of not to tell the prophecy he had received. "If I blow you up and you live, I have the permission to love you," Heero plainly stated.
"Permission from who?" Duo queried.
"From an old man" Heero trailed off.
"Who's probably dead now and couldn't give who you love or not?" Duo said, shaking his head. Psycho's these days.
"So." Heero grabbed for the self-detonation device.
"No you don't!" Duo yelled. "Only I can blow myself up!" With that Duo slammed the self-detonation button.
"BAKA!" Heero screamed. Calming down, Heero composed himself. Setting the glare on with the hulking I'm an insane psycho' look Heero properly said, "Omae o korusu."
"Why doesn't this work?" Duo said pressing the button over and over.
"Because I unhooked it from the actual explosive. You need this little piece to set it off." Withdrawing a small attachable piece from his shorts, Heero showed it off. Taking out yet another self-detonation device *How many of these things does he have?!?!* Heero hooked them together. "There we go."
Heero was about to press it, forgetting about Hilde when Duo yelled, "Wait! Lets get Hilde out first."
Dragging Hilde back outside, Heero's horrified expression warned Duo. Another sound confirmed it. "HEERO! I'VE COME FOR YOU!" *Wondering when she was coming huh?*
Panicked Heero ran inside the house, Relena behind.
"Like a game of cat and mouse," Duo remarked.
"Definitely," Hilde said having woke up to the scene.
Duo sighed. "Hilde do you think that it'll ever be possible to just kill Relena?"
Sounds from the house traveled over to Duo and Hilde. Multiple crashes and sounds of breaking things came along with several phrases of "Omae o korusu!" or "I'm the queen you can be king!" or "Damn this one doesn't work either!" –Usually following an explosion– or "I love you Heero!" floated along too.
"See Duo, I told you not to bring anyone around here," Hilde said as she prepared to leave, after all Hilde was just stopping by.
"Yeah but there's something about that guy that intrigues me," Duo said waving good bye.
Suddenly the sounds ceased. Ugh, what'd he do this time? Walking into the front door the house exploded around Duo. Heero and Relena were flung over Duo's head. Duo watched them go over and ran to Heero. Seeing that Heero was still conscious Duo asked him, "Are you okay?"
"Get her away. Make the curse go away," Heero mumbled partially delirious.
Duo scrambled up and over to Relena. Wow, that huge explosion and all 3 of us are still alive! Picking Relena up Duo brought her to the pink limo and saw her off.
"There she's gone."
Heero sat up all injuries seemingly forgotten. "You survived." He breathed in disbelief.
Survived what?"
"The ultimate test. You are fit to be my loved one." Heero's eyes gleamed in praise. "You made the curse disappear."
What is he talking about? Oh well lets just play along, Duo decided. "You may do with me as you wish." Heero had made his commitment to Duo.
"Really" Duo contemplated all the possibilities this held. "Well first you're going to rebuild the house. Next we'll need a new bed. Perhaps some handcuffs too"
We now leave in happiness and health, for Duo and Heero have completed the journey into each other's arms. Perhaps one day we shall visit again to check up, but today the mission has not been accomplished, but completed.
Sorry minna-san~ I had to do that kind of fairy tale narrative! So how was it? I know *sighs* not everything you wanted, but I tried my very best to put humor in with out getting off topic *which was supposed to be shonen-ai~* Well C&C please!~ Wanted, needed and begged for!~
