Note! Personally, I haven't really watched GWING! Not an episode! All I learned was just picked up from bits and pieces scattered throughout the net. All I've watched was the OAV which means that I haven't really SEEN Sanq Kingdom! All the terrain and such are just things I assume! Thank you...
It was technically late afternoon when Maxwell arrived. The shuttle that he got off had already left hours ago... So what was he doing here at the airport? It all started from the simple assumption of... Of nothing.
He had no idea where to look! It was that basic! Where would he look? Sanq Kingdom was HUGE when viewed from the eyes of a teen! And even though it was a completely pacifistic colony (I'm guessing, okay!), there were still people who didn't really act like pacifists...
Maybe that's why he was so reluctant to go before... The fear of being there but not actually seeing who he was there for. Irrationality was his middle name, and maybe his trip here was just as irrational.
But he was already here. It was even more irrational to turn back. Maybe if he asked around a bit... Just maybe...
Duo stood, and left the airport. Sanq Kingdom was cooler than he thought, being a colony and all. The air was crisp and cold, but not bone chilling. It was actually nice.. And he liked that. He walked outside the gloomy gray building and went out to find a cab. He waited... And waited.
Soon enough, the idea came to him again. Asking wouldn't really be a bad idea... But before he had any chance to ask, a cab pulled up to him. Duo was smart enough to know that this was HIS cab.
"Where to, sis?" The young cab driver asked. Obviously, the cabbie wasn't paying too much attention to his customer. Duo spoke, In an extremely manly tone, just to point out who's "Sis".
"Anywhere. Gimme a tour." It was short, yet perfectly blunt. The driver whirled behind to see his customer was, in actuality, a boy.
"Yo! For a moment there, I thought you were a chick." His answer was perfectly blunt as well, and Maxwell was getting a little irritated at the arrogant man in front of him. Man... More like brat. He could have been Duo's own age, if it wasn't for that roguish, unshaven look that the boy had.
"So, whad'ya wanna check out?"
"Anything." The boy began the engine. It was somewhat old, but it was a way around until he found out where he has to go.
"Sightseeing?"
"Yeah... Somewhat." He didn't like to talk right about now, but the kid would ask and ask questions so much that it was beginning to get irritating, even for someone as irritating as Duo himself.
But the boy did not talk. He just drove on in silence. Duo didn't even TRY to look out the window to look for Heero. He just wanted some sleep... He forced his eyes open, but mind over matter didn't always come true...

"Hey... Bro, wake up..."
"Bro, get up."
"Ungh... What is it Hilde...?" Dumb kid, he's sleeptalking... He's a real keeper, alright. Fair skin with those deep indigo eyes of his that were like pools of deep, dark blue ink. Why am I bothering with this one? What made him so special? So different from the rest? I don't know. I don't really know. He's just special to me...
Boy, that sounded really stupid. How could this one boy mean so much to me when I've only seen him for about an hour?
I ask again. What makes him so special?
"Wake up, kiddo. You've been sleeping in my cab for about an hour already." His legs stretched slightly, like a cat's. And like a cat, he yawned quite deeply, with his mouth open the entire way, not bothering to cover. Yeah, he was still a kid.
"Where... Where am I?"
"And here you are; sleeping in the taxi of some guy you don't know without fear of getting robbed or killed, and you ask me where you are?" I reply with heavy sarcasm. Maybe he was just half-asleep. Maybe he was just dumb. Whatever it is, I know he's not from around here.
"Oh... I'm so sorry! I must have dozed off because of that long flight..." He answered back sleepily, scratching his head lightly.
"So.. Are you going to sleep here and pay for the fare or are you going to find a place for the night? I don't know what you're doing here in Sanq Kingdom at a time like this, but you better find someplace for a bed."
"Why? Is there something going on?" He asked me, a bit more awake than before.
"Yeah. There's been some rumors that there's somebody lurking the Peaccraft mansion. They say he's a trained assassin supposed to kill Miss Peacecraft..."
"An... assassin!? Are these rumors true?" The boy that was sleeping just a moment ago was awakened with a surprising amount of vigor. But for some weird reason, he seemed to be happy about something...
"Yeah, or so I hear. What's it to you?" Curiosity was a liability in my personality. What are you going to do? Have a person filed for overquestioning?
"You have no idea how much that means to me! Thank you! Umm.. Here's the payment for the fare, and thanks again!" The boy bolted out of the cab, stopped, and walked back to the vehicle, a twisted yet stupid looking grin on his lips.
"Umm... Do you know where I might find the Peacecraft Mansion?" I sigh, and call him back into the cab. This is one strange kid I've picked up here...
The end...?
Ramblings:
1) Umm... Yeah? This is my worst fic! (This part sux!) Maybe it's got something to do with my sudden state of laziness... Whatever. Maybe I'll rework this soon. (I really have to! This is WAY horrid!)
