"Sirea…it…it's been so long." Duo smiled. "Five years next month." she told him. "You've been counting?" Duo asked. "Is that a problem?" she laughed. "No…it's just…weird."
Sirea was as old as Duo. Well…almost. They were a few months apart. She was only an inch taller than he was. She had fairly long dark brown hair and deep brown eyes. Like Duo, she was wearing all black. It was a t-shirt and black shorts. She was also wearing a black cloak with the hood down. Duo also noticed a dagger at her right side.
"Damn! You look like a professional!" Duo said, stepping aside to let her in. "That's because I am." Sirea said, smirking. "I'm one of the top thieves the guild has to offer!" "That's great!" Duo smiled. "Looks like I must've taught you somethin, or else you woulda never made it in the guild!" Sirea laughed. "You'll never change, Duo!"
"Guys!" Duo called. "This is Sirea!" "She's…she's…" Wufei stuttered. "Hot?" Duo asked. "Yeah, I know." "Duo!" Sirea yelled, blushing. Duo grinned stupidly. "Oh yeah!" he said. "Sirea, these are the guys!" "Um…names?" Sirea asked. "Oh!" Duo smiled. "I forgot. Um…the blond is Quatre. The one with the freakish bangs is Trowa. The pissed off Chinese guy is Wufei. And Mr. I'm-an-anti-social-suicidal-freak is Heero. He thinks he's better than us because he has a hot girlfriend…but I think she's butt-ugly." "She's not my girlfriend, Duo." Heero said coldly. "She's my stalker. …Next time I see her, I'm gonna blow her head clear off her shoulders." "Can I help?" Duo asked. "No."
"And how praytell are you going to manage that?" Sirea asked. "With this." Heero said, pulling his gun out of his pocket. Sirea laughed nervously. "Oh…"
"Duo…you said that you wanted to become an official?" Sirea asked, turning towards him. "Yeah!" he said excitedly. "I hope I haven't lost my skill." "Do you have an alias chosen yet?" she asked. "Alias?" Duo asked. "What for?" "Nobody in the guild calls each other by name." Sirea told him. "If we ever get caught as a group, we call each other by alias, so that nobody knows who we are." "That's genius…" Duo said thoughtfully. "I shall be…Shinigami!" (If you didn't see THAT one coming from a mile away, please give me your address so I can come over there and personally beat some sense into you!)
"Duo will not be joining your little guild, Sirea." Heero said coldly. "He's in enough trouble with the government as it is." "All right." Sirea said dryly. "Protect your boyfriend." "Sick!" Duo shouted. Sirea burst out laughing. "I'm sorry, Duo." she laughed. "I just couldn't resist." "You're sick!" Duo smiled. "I know." she smiled back at him. "What's your alias thingy?" Duo asked stupidly. "Kigo." she replied blandly. "You do know what that means, don't you?" Heero asked, not bothering to look up at her. "Of course." Sirea replied. "It means demoness in Japanese." "Do you speak it?" Heero asked. "I only know a few words." she told him. 'Hn' was the only reply Sirea got.
"What's the dagger for?" Wufei asked. "Fighting." Sirea replied smugly. "How good are you with it?" Wufei asked. "Pretty good." she told him. "I've had it ever since the day I ran away from the church. I stole it from some weapon shop. They were pretty common during the war." "I have a katana." Wufei told her. "Do you think you can hold up against me, you weak onna?" "Yes…but not for long…" she replied. "I'd eventually have to use my dark ma---" Sirea stopped in mid-sentence. "Dark what?" Quatre asked.
"Nothing!" Sirea shouted nervously. "Duo…where's my room? I'm getting tired." "Oh…you'll be staying with me and Heero." "Nani!?" Heero shouted. "Yeah…um…" Duo blushed. "I don't think Wufei would approve of sharing a room with a girl…Quatre and Trowa would probably drive you nuts…and you'd probably want your privacy or somethin during the day coz we're usually all out here…" Duo laughed nervously. "Maxwell just wants to get laid…badly." Wufei said. "Well excuse me for being a virgin!" Duo yelled. "There is no excuse for you, Maxwell." Wufei narrowed his eyes at Duo. "Bakayaro…" Heero mumbled under his breath. Sirea snickered.
"Come on, Sirea…" Duo said. "I'll show you to your room." "Personally…?" Wufei smirked, as did Sirea. "Don't worry, Wufei." Sirea winked at him. "He'll get what's coming to him." Heero shuddered.
Duo got a sleeping bag and a pillow for Sirea. Then it hit him; Sirea had nothing to sleep in. A dark blush crept up the side of Duo's face as he walked right into a wall thinking about it. Sirea burst out laughing as Duo stumbled back. "Um…this is my room…" Duo said, opening the door. "I'm gonna go get a tissue coz my nose is bleeding." Duo handed Sirea the sleeping bag and pillow and headed toward the bathroom.
"You…do have something to sleep in…right?" Heero asked, walking up to Sirea. "Oh shit." Sirea whispered. "Make sure Duo falls asleep before you do." Heero advised. "I wouldn't rape her!" Duo said, walking into the room with a tissue shoved up his nose. "You look ridiculous." Heero told him, passing him. "Don't worry Sirea." Duo said to her. "I have a t-shirt you could sleep in."
Sirea came out of the bathroom with a black t-shirt on that barely reached her thighs. She blushed when Quatre walked past, and tried to pull it down, because it was showing a little more than she wanted it to. Quatre blushed deeply and ran to his room. "Perfect!" Duo chirped. Sirea blushed deeper. "Duo!" Sirea yelled. "It's too short! It's almost showing my…" "That was the point, Sirea." Duo smirked. "And besides, that's the longest shirt I have." "I'm going to bed…" Wufei yawned. He walked past Sirea and Duo…then walked backwards to get another look. "Get away from me!" Sirea yelled. Wufei laughed and walked to his room.
At around midnight, almost everyone was asleep. Sirea sat up and looked at Duo. "Duo…" she whispered. A tear rolled down her cheek. "I…I'm sorry Duo…I…I want to help you. You never deserved to be caught up in this…"
