A/N: I'm really sick of this part of this fic because I typed it up
yesterday and sumthin' went wrong so this is the second time I've typed
this part! Well things should pick up a bit here. Oh and in answer to a
question I was asked; yes this is a Duo+Ryuichi fic…I always try to have a
different pairing in my fics cuz Duo+Heero is…well it's almost too simple
(Wait till you read my next fic…it's Duo+Heero with a twist!) Well I'd
better stop rambling and get on with the fic!

Part 7
Duo wasn't really sure where to begin. He asked Ryuichi to get him a security guard uniform knowing that the singer would have access to such things. Once dressed he slipped out of the dressing room. No one took much notice because guards often went into the dressing rooms to check on the performers before it was time to go on. He turned around at the door.
"I'll be keeping an eye on you from the wings Ryu-chan" he said with a smile.
"Good luck Duo…thanks for coming" Ryuichi said with a smile. Someone pushed past Duo knocking him out of his way. Duo narrowed his eyes as he recognised Mr. Akido.
"Ryuichi baby…I've a preposition to make!" he grinned at Ryuichi baring his yellowed teeth. "Will you do another show tomorrow night?"
"I told you already that I can't Mr. Akido…I have other plans and Bad Luck have a gig somewhere else…" Mr. Akido looked annoyed and left without so much as a good-bye. Duo followed him down the hall careful not to let himself be seen. Mr. Akido was in such a rush that he didn't even look behind him. He stepped into a room pulling the door closed behind him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo jumped forward stopping the door before it closed. He listened carefully. He could hear Mr. Akido dialing a number on the phone.
"Hello…I know it's short notice but you have to come tonight…I tried to get hi m to stay another night but the little bastard wouldn't do it…I told you, don't ask questions I have my reasons for wanting this done…Can you do it?…Good! Be here in half an hour…I'll meet you at the door…okay…bye." Duo heard the phone being put down and ran around the corner. When he heard the door open he walked casually around the corner and straight into Mr. Akido.
"Oh Gawd! I'm so sorry sir…I wasn't looking where I was going…" Duo said pretending to be flustered.
"You clumsy fool!" Mr. Akido snapped bending to pick up what he had dropped when Duo had banged into him. "What's you name boy?" he demanded "I'm going to report you to your superior."
"Heero Yuy" Duo lied smoothly "Oh please don't sir…it was an accident…" He bent to pick up the papers and Mr. Akido snapped them from him.
"Now get out of my way…I don't want to see you again!" Duo pretended to be frightened and hurried away. 'Aww too bad because you'll be seeing me again all too soon'

He walked around the nearest corner and smiled looking at the wallet in his hand. He had always been good at pick pocketing. He flicked through the cards in the wallet. 'Hmmm…multiple I.D. cards…that's never a good sign' He knew he had half an hour before he had to be at the door do he decided to check up on the I.D. cards. He slipped into the room where Mr. Akido had been and plugged in his laptop. The computer started quickly and he was able to use the Internet via the phone connection in the room. Then he hacked into the police records and looked up the names in the crime files. For every name there was a list of crimes, which ranged from money laundering to theft, drug dealing to rape and assault to homicide. The last crime bothered Duo because it had only shown up on the recent cards. He logged off and quickly shoved the computer into his bag. Nearly twenty minutes had passed and he knew he had to get to the front door. Apparently Ryuichi or Bad Luck hadn't gone onstage because he could hear the impatient squeals of the fan girls. He made his way for the front door stopping and jumping behind a corner when he saw Mr. Kido.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He edged his way closer; making sure that he couldn't be see. He wasn't close enough to hear what they were saying but that was where his Gundam pilot abilities came in handy. He pulled out a pair of tiny binoculars and focused on the two men. He could easily read their lips. The man who had just arrived was dressed in black and carried a case. He watched what they were saying to each other.
"Who's the target?" the man asked.
"It's the singer Ryuichi Sakuma" Duo's eyes widened. "You shouldn't have any problem, you will have a clear view of him the whole time."
"There will be cameras everywhere…" the man pointed out in annoyance "Ryuichi Sakuma /is/ quite famous…"
"Yeah well a man of your expertise should have no problem with that and if you use a silencer they won't be able to trace the origin of the shot. Or you could find yourself a good hiding spot" The man nodded and Mr. Akido handed him an envelope; undoubtedly his payment and he gave him a ticket so that he could get around the auditorium in order to do his job.
"Give him an hour once he goes onstage…I want to make some money off the kids first…" Duo's lips curled in disgust. He crept away from the two men.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
He had an hour and he already had thought of a plan. This man was obviously a professional. 'Well at least I found out what the man was after' he thought wryly. He hurried for Ryuichi's dressing room and sighed in relief when he saw the guard still standing outside; Ryuichi still hadn't gone on. He went in quickly, Ryuichi looked up in surprise.
"Duo…What are you doing back so soon?" he asked.
"Ryuichi I want you to listen carefully" Screams could be heard as Bad Luck went onstage.
"Okay but I only have fifteen minu…"
"Mr. Akido has hired an assassin to kill you" Duo interrupted Ryuichi, the brunette gasped. "There's still a hour and a quarter and I have a plan…" Ryuichi nodded in shock urging Duo to continue. Duo smiled suddenly.
"How would you feel about a duet with yours truly?" Ryuichi grinned and asked.
"Can you sing?" Duo blushed.
"Well…I've been told I'm not too bad…I want to get the assassin this time so he can't come after you again…I can borrow some of your clothes." Duo said. Ryuichi looked seriously at Duo.
"You're not going to try anything stupid like taking the bullet instead of me? Are you?" he asked.
"It depends…maybe…maybe not…" he said with a wink.
