Chapter 4
Home?

After about a seven-minute walk on the sidewalk, and lots of questions from Duo to Wufei, they arrived at a tall apartment complex. It was at least thirty stories high and painted white.

"This is it!" Duo said smiling. "This is home!"

He walked inside the glass door in the front and Wufei followed. Inside was a large room filled with couches and coffee tables. A few adults were sitting down, drinking soft drinks or cappuccinos. Some were reading novels or the more conceited ones were reading magazines on beauty and health.

Duo walked up to the clerk desk and greeted the woman behind the counter. She was about 19, and Duo and her seemed to be well acquainted. After a while, he introduced Wufei.

"Oh! Sara, this is Wufei. He's gonna stay with me for a while! Is there like any extra charges or anything?" Duo said to the clerk.

"Hi nice to meet you Wufei," Sara said to him, nodding her head. "No, no extra charges to pay, Duo."

"Great," Duo said. "Later!" -At that Duo motioned for Wufei to follow him and they went to an elevator. When the two doors opened the two teens walked in and Duo pushed the button that read 32.

"I live on the top floor," Duo said. "Hope your not afraid of heights!"

"Don't worry about it, I'll be fine," Wufei said, breaking his record of silence.

When they reached the top, the elevator opened and they walked into a hallway with only two doorways, one on each side. Duo pulled a key from the navy khaki pants he was wearing and opened the door on the left side of the hallway. Before he opened the door he turned to Wufei and spoke.

"Its gonna be a bit messy," he informed Wufei. "The maid that Relena hired for me quit when she finished law school. She is now officially an lawyer."

He then pushed open the door and Wufei winced at the size of the room and the mess that covered it. The main room was very big. The floor was white marble, and in the middle was a black leather couch covered with clothes and food, and a big screen TV was across from it, pushed against a ceiling. Lots of game systems were hooked up to it and a DVD player was on top. There was a second story to the room, which led to a series of doors. The stairway was on the bottom left hand of the room and all it was, was a big square with doors up and down the wall. You the center of the second floor was a big square hole where you could see upstairs.

"Relena out did herself, huh?" Duo said smiling. "All I needed was a room to sleep in and a bathroom. But she insisted that I take this."

"It is... big," was all Wufei said. A kitchen was on the other side of the wall the TV was leaning against. It had a counter with a sink, coffee machine, and a microwave. Up against the top wall was a refrigerator and in between these was a kitchen table.

"It gets lonely here," Duo said, frowning a bit. "This place is way to big for just one person... so you can stay as long as you want. It will be much nicer here with someone to talk to in the morning and at night," he added with a weak smile. -Wufei nodded his head and gave Duo a encouraging smile.

'Looks like I'm not the only lonely person," Wufei said to himself. -"Where am I gonna sleep?" Wufei asked adjusting the duffel bag on his shoulder.

"Oh!" Duo said. "Follow me, Senor!"

Wufei chuckled at Duo's bad Spanish accent on the 'senor', not that he could do better. Duo led Wufei up the stairs, which were littered with clothes and food, around the square center, and to one of the many doors. He opened it and a king-sized bed with a closet off to the side and a dresser on the other side. Two windows were on both sides of the bed with heavy curtains so you could keep the sun out if you wanted.

"So... whadaya think?" Duo said, pretty much glowing.

"It great," Wufei said, not knowing what to say. He had never really been helped like this before. He was always independent and relied on himself for everything. This was a new experience for him, and Duo knew it.

Duo took his answer as a compliment, since this was the nicest thing Wufei had ever said to him. He didn't ask Wufei any more questions, because he knew Wufei was uncomfortable with the whole "thank you" process.

"I'm gonna go call Relena's secretary and tell her to notify Relena about you. Maybe Relena will actually call back this time!" Duo said laughing and patting Wufei on the back.

He walked downstairs, leaving a uncomfortable Chinese boy at the entrance of his new room. He slowly walked in and put his duffel bag on the bed. He opened it and pulled out the very few clothes he brought with him. He then walked to the closet door and found a bunch of clothes hangers on the rod attached to the wall. He grabbed a few and took them back to the bed.

He hanged all of his pants and shirts on them hangers and hanged them in his closet. He then rummaged through the rest of the items he had stored inside the duffel bag. He withdrew some daggers and a couple pairs of shoes. But what caught his attention the most was the leather jacket.

He couldn't afford to bring his motorcycle over water, so he had to leave it behind. It was really all he had of value, so he looked things now as if he had nothing. He sighed and sat down on his bed.

He had lost so many things in his life. He had lost a wife, a home, a life, and now his motorcycle. He worried that if he stayed with Duo to long, somehow he would lose him to. He suggested to himself that maybe he should start working somewhere and save enough money to buy his own place. There he wouldn't be a hazard to anyone.

Wufei started suffering from jet lag now. It was sometime in the morning in China, so he was close to exhaustion. He untied his hair and let it hand freely on his shoulders. He then kicked off his shoes and lay down on the bed.

His eyes slowly closed as he drifted off to another world...

Am I still doing okay? I think I'm doing pretty well on keeping people in character and stuff. The sorceress part is coming, but it won't change the mood of the story. And for all of you who are wondering, this will not be a yaoi fic, so don't be disappointed ^_^. I don't like yaoi too much, so I obviously don't write it. Anyway, happy reading!!!
