Book 1
Chapter 3
"Wait!" Heero calls after the golden blonde who just left the room.
"Hey, Guys come here and look," From the Window Trowa calls to get Wufei and Heero's attention.
A long black limo pulls up at the front of the house. A uniformed driver exits the car and steps up to the passenger door to open it. Two large dogs hop out of the door only to move to one side as if guarding the occupant inside. An older distinguished man steps out of the limo.
Next to the limo a large white van pulls up stopping next to the parked vehicle. Two uniformed guards step up to the side door of the van. The words Sanq Department of Correctional Youth Divisions is painted on the side of the door. Increasingly curious the boys take one look at each other and race out the doors.
Stopping a short distance from the limo and van they see the older gentleman sign some papers and turn to the now open door. A young boy steps out of the van in chains. The guards moving to take off the chains momentarily obscure the boy. With a final handshake the guards get back into the van and depart the house.
The older gentleman says a few quiet words to the boy next to him. After a minute the two start toward the house and the three boys silently waiting in front. Heero is momentarily stunned with his first look at the new boy.
The boy is gorgeous. He has a heart shaped face with perfect features. A long wealth of silky brown hair is tied into a braid down to his thighs. Heero's breath catches as a pair of luminous violet eyes lift to stare into his own. He can't understand why his heart is racing with this first glimpse of this boy.
A faint blush appears on Heero's face as he turns to listen to the older man. "Good you're all here why don't we go inside."
As the five enter the house Miss Une spots them. "Mr. Barton! You're here." Comes the happy cry as Une moves closer to them.
In the back of the group Heero watches as Miss Une fawns over Barton. Like a magnet Heero's eyes turn toward the new boy looking contemptuously at the people around him. He wonders what the boy might have done to be put into correctional. Why was he even here with the rest of them if the boy's a criminal for that mater? And why, oh why, did this boy make him feel this way?
Violet eyes staring with contempt turn to meet Heero's own Prussian ones. A knowing smirk spreads on the boys face. A low growl interrupts the gathering as they turn to see Quatre drop the bags he's carrying. The blonde's turbulent aqua gaze narrows as they spy upon the longhaired lad standing in the hall.
"You!" Quatre exclaimed to the new boy.
"Winner!" the boy replied with venom.
"Do you know each other?" Heero asks with curiosity.
Not looking away form newcomer Quatre responds, "We knew each other a while back."
"I could have done without seeing ever you again, Winner."
With a nervous look between the scowling boys Miss Une interrupts the tense standoff between the two boys. "Well, now that we're all here I'd like to introduce you to each other and to Mr. Barton our benefactor." She smiles as enthusiasm once again comes over her. Indication the green-eyed boy first Une begins.
"This is Trowa Barton. He's from Washington State." The boy nods to those around him.
"Here is Wufei Chang. He's from China." Wufei grins and waves to his companions.
As she introduces the next boy, interested violet eyes roam over the boy in question. "This is Heero Yui. He's from Japan."
"This here is Quatre Raberba Winner. He's from Arabia." His aqua gaze still has not left the newest of the boys.
"Right" Une says uncertainly as she turns to the last boy.
"The last of our group is Duo Maxwell. He's from New York." Duo looks over the group with disinterest until his eyes fall on Heero. An intense look crosses his face before he turns away with some reluctance.
"Boys it's an honor to be able to introduce you to Mr. Dekim Barton. He is the founder of Romefeller industries. Which has enabled us to take part in this innovative and cutting edge project I'll let him speak now." She practically beams at the boys standing around her.
"Mr. Barton why is that… criminal here with us?" Quatre asks with dislike lingering in his tone.
Barton gives him a disapproving look. "Mr. Maxwell has been left under my custody. He's on parole. He can leave to go to school, but must remain here any other time. Mr. Maxwell and I have an agreement. Don't we Maxwell?"
"Yes" comes the indifferent yet immediate reply as Duo turns his cool gaze from Quatre to Mr. Barton.
"Good, now that I have everyone's attention let me start of by welcoming you to the Sanq institute. I hope we can work hand in hand to achieve our goals. You five are not like everyone else your different. You have abilities that set you apart from humanity."
"You'll never be like everyone, you shouldn't even try. You don't have to follow the same rules. You are superior to your fellow humans never forget that."
Heero listens with the beginnings of unease. If this is supposed to be a pep talk it's sadly failing. He doesn't like the tone of this speech Barton in making. Can that man really believe what he's saying?
"You youngsters can change the way your gifts are seen. There are infinite possibilities that can come from your gifts. The benefits to human kind are innumerable."
A sudden need to draw overcomes Heero. Not like the urge to draw someone like Trowa and Wufei. His hand itched. The urge was the kind that heralds one of his predictions. The kind that comes true.
Looking at those around him, his gaze comes to a stop when it reaches Duo. There was a strange look of wicked contempt mixed with amusement gracing his face. Cynical eyes turned toward him.
The two share a look of understanding. They both know how hollow the words of Barton are. A warm blush steals over Heero at the intimate look. He turns away in embarrassment but not before seeing an amused grin stealing over Duo's face.
As Mr. Barton finishes his speech the need to draw leaves Heero. Perhaps it was nothing. After all the man was the one funding this program. He can't be all-bad even if his ideas are a bit eccentric.
Miss Une thanks Barton for his words of encouragement. Then hopes during the next year everyone will try their hardest to succeed. "I will be staying here with you for the next year. My room is on this floor. Should anyone need me the door is always open day or night. I have one more person to introduce to you."
A young girl maybe a year or two older than the boys enters. She has short black hair and good looks. Good humor and enthusiasm shine forth from expressive eyes.
"Boys this is Hilde. She'll be working with you and helping out around the house. Like me she's here to help. She's here doing undergrad work so will not be staying here. Hilde will only be here during the day usually after classes. I will post a schedual of your classes and training tomorrow in the kitchen."
Mr. Barton gives his farewells and leaves while Miss Une goes on. "Ok I know some of you are tired you've come a long way today. Hilde and I will cook dinner while you get your rooms together. We'll discuss house rules tomorrow. Is that a plan?"
With a few grumbles mixed with excitement the five boys agree and head up the stairs to the bedrooms. As they walk upstairs Heero asks a question. "So what did you think?"
"About what Heero?" Trowa asks looking back.
"Mr. Barton and his speech."
"Impressive" remarks Wufei.
"Well, his dogs were interesting. I've never met animals that were so closed. It's almost as if they're guarding themselves. I would hate to have to try and influence them." The oddly banged boy confesses.
Feeling eyes upon him Heero glances back. Duo he finds is staring at him again. "You've been quiet. What do you think?"
"The man wants to use us." Duo replies.
"What do you mean? Use us for what?" Trowa stops to ask.
An annoyed look crosses Duo's face. "How should I know? Maybe he wants to improve his corporate image. He wants to gain power for himself. Dozens of reasons he wants us. Barton is out for himself only." He gestures toward Heero. "He knows it as well as I do."
A short silence follows that simple statement. "Well what about the rooms?" Wufei breaks the silence. "How are we going to divide them up?"
"I'll take this one." Duo points to the largest bedroom.
"What! You can't!" Wufei exclaims.
"We had decided whoever rooms together will have the largest." States the calming voice of Trowa.
"I'm taking this room. I've lived in a small cell for the last two years. I figure I deserve a large room. Want to make something of it?" Maxwell looks like he's ready to take on anyone who contradicts him.
"Let him have it. It's not something to fight over." Quatre interrupts with an intense look of dislike.
"Good" A hard look appears in his violet eyes. "Another thing I want none of you in my room. You won't like it if I find you sneaking around." Continuing after locking eyes with each boy he stops when his gaze reaches Heero. "You on the other hand. You can come in anytime you wish."
He walks toward the room. Turning with a last look at Heero. "I'm sure we could find something to do beautiful." With a smirk he turns from the blushing boy and enters the room closing the door behind him.
A hand closes on his arm. "Are you ok?" A quiet voice whispers. Kind worried blue green eyes stare at him.
Heero feels warmth spread thru himself at Quatre's touch. A shy smile forms on his face to reassure the blonde. "I'm fine Quatre. Now what are we going to do about the rooms?"
"Well can I pick next?" comes the anxious question from Wufei. "I want that one" pointing to the room nearby.
Quatre gives the boy a disapproving look for his selfishness.
"Awww, come on guys I'm not kidding I'll die without my MTV."
Rolling his eyes at his housemates antics Quatre offers up a solution. "Look why don't we double up in the smaller rooms and use that room as a commons. That way the TV, computer and other electronics can be used by us all."
Exchanging looks amongst themselves the boys nod in agreement. "Well, Heero how about you and me rooming together?
"That would be wonderful Trowa. I think we'll get along really well." With that the two move off to the far room on the right.
"I guess that leaves you and me." With a grin Wufei leads Quatre off to the far room on the left.
~*~
Duo checks out his new living quarters. He quickly checks the room for the fastest way out should he need an escape route. Disturbing thoughts war within as he contemplates his new housemates.
The tall one, Trowa, is one to be wary of. He may appear quiet but there was an element of immovability about him. Duo could tell he was the easygoing type. That though was probably only until those he cared about were in jeopardy after that he'd probably be dangerous.
The next one Wufei he couldn't get a good feeling for. There did appear to be an underlying strength there though. He would reserve his opinion on that one for the moment. It wouldn't do to underestimate those boys.
An intense dislike bordering on hatred flares inside him as his thoughts turn toward the golden haired lad. Quatre… Duo couldn't stand even thinking of him. Why did he have to show up? Quatre was so self-righteous. Everyone always fawned over him. Almost falling in love with the blonde jerk wherever he went. Just like that boy Heero seems on verge of doing.
The thought of Heero sends his thought spiraling in confusion. He was beautiful. Those stunning Prussian eyes seem to see into the heart of him. His wild messy brown hair made him want to run his hand through it. The boy was slender but that was deceptive. Duo could see the strength in that slight frame.
The wondrous boy was slightly shorter than him, but Duo was sure he'd fit him perfectly. Now where did that thought come from? Ever since he had looked into Heero's eyes unfamiliar feelings had been stirring inside him. This had to stop. He promised himself he would never have these types of feelings again especially after the last time.
Shaking his head to be rid of the disquieting thoughts. Duo throws himself upon his bed. These feelings are rather pointless anyways. He's not blind. Heero is on the verge of believing himself in love with that bastard Winner. Which is just as well. He didn't need someone who was going to be as much trouble as that boy looks like he's going to be.
His musings turn toward the tests that he will be put thru. He hopes they know what they're doing. If not… then what happens will be their fault not his. Not only had he warned them, but the others had also warned them about his talents as well.
Conflicting thoughts and emotions gradually lessen as Duo succumbs to the depths of slumber. Quiet echoes thru the room broken only by gentle breaths, as the occupant remains unaware of activities outside the room.
~*~
The others meet in the dining room for a quiet meal prepared by Hilde and Une. Duo never makes an appearance down stairs, choosing instead to stay in his room. No words are spoken as each person contemplates their new life. Dinner is soon finished as everyone separates to finish unpacking and moving furniture around to make the house more comfortable.
Gradually the housemates drift to their rooms for the night. After getting ready for be in the bathroom Heero enters his own room. Trowa is already asleep upon his own bed. Heero pulls back his covers and lies down. Remembering what happened during the day keeping him from sleep.
He truly thinks he's going to like these people. Trowa already feels like an older brother someone he can confide in or look up to. Wufei seems like a good person to have on your side. You know like that annoying best friend who you nevertheless would hate to be without.
Heero can feel his face flush at the thought of the next boy. Quatre is so handsome. His features are angelic. His touch makes Heero feel so warm and protected. Heero sighs as he turns over. Why is he feeling this way? He's sworn off guys and boyfriends hasn't he?
Thoughts unwillingly turn toward the last boy Duo. He's nothing but trouble. Heero pushes the uncomfortable feelings Duo invokes away. How could they let an obviously violent boy, who has been incarcerated, live with them? Uncharitable thoughts continue until a hand covers Heero's mouth.
Eyes widening in alarm Heero starts to struggle until he hears a quiet whisper. "Calm down Heero I'm not going to hurt you."
Widening eyes shift until they come upon the moonlit face of Hilde. Panic calms to confusion as the hand is taken away from his mouth. "Hilde what are you doing here?"
"I came to give you a warning. Take you and your friends and get out. Get as far away from here as you possibly can. It's not safe here."
With that warning she turns and silently leaves the room. Leaving behind a stunned Heero. Before walking out the door. One last warning floats back.
"If you don't listen to me. You might end up dead… or worse."

Lyssa: *looks out of the closet* Whew! Didn't think Duo would ever leave. I have to thank Quatre later if he lives. Hmmm....I also need to make a note to hide next few chapters. *Goes off to start chapter 4*
Well, I hope you enjoyed the newest installment of DH: Book 1. As all ways comments and constructive criticism are welcome and craved.
