Dark Shadows
"Why does it rain all the time?!" Duo whined at Heero as he looked out the window at the endless rain. "You wanted to move here and its like this place has never heard of sun!" "Duo stop whining, besides, this is a great place to live and i like it here." "Yea yea yea, im gonna get out of here." "You really shouldnt go out that much in the rain Duo. You could catch an pneumonia and get really sick." "Nice to know you cared mom" Duo snickered sarcasticly. He headed out the door of the small apartment the two boys shared and down the staircase to the lobby. He brushed past the quiet people standing around talking amoung themselves and out into the wet streets. He did like it here. It was his type of city, no sun, endless rain. Everything was gothical and dark, his type of place.
Duo walked down the street dodging people and smiling as people moved out of his way. He crossed the street, dodging reckless cars and hopping over puddles of muddy water, trying to keep as much of it off of him as possible. He headed to a little outside coffee shop and sat down at one of the metal barred tables. "Hey Duo" a voice rang out in his ears. Duo turned around to see afew of his friends walking in his direction. "Hey there Setsuna." Setsuna walked up to him, followed by two boys and sat down. Duo watched as the blonde boy next to him lit up a cigarette. "So whats been up with you Duo?" he asked with a cigarette between his pink lips. "Ah nuthin except hanging out here and there." "We havent seen you at The Pit Duo. Where have you been?" one of the boys spoke up. "Shut up Kato" Duo muttered. "Weve been doing alot of shit without you Duo!" "Uh huh, riiiiiight." Duo raised an eyebrow. "You dont do shit you idiot." "Yes we do! we do a whole lot of shit without you Duo!" "Kato! sit your ass down and shut your fucking mouth" Duo shouted and watched Kato sit back in his chair silently. Duo plucked the cigarette from Setsuna's mouth and took a drag on it.
"So what are you guys doing tonight?" "Im bored," the red headed one muttered, "Lets go gang bang or something." His idea was rewarded by three faces straing at him in bewilderment. "Gang bang? Michael what in the hell is that?" Duo laughed. Setsuna took the cigarette from Duo's nimble fingers. "Ah im gonna get out of here" Duo rose from his seat. "Ill join you" Michael rushed to his feet and smashed the chair into the table. Duo pushed his in alittle easier than his friend did and walked around the table. "See you guys later." Duo walked up to Michael's side and headed off down the street.
"So wheres Raphael?" Duo asked, breaking the annoying silence that had settled between the two. "Probably fucking the hooker around the corner, how the hell would i know? I dont watch him." They saw Raphael coming out of a building afew seconds later buckling his belt. A girl ran out of the building and up to him and smashed her face into his in what looked like a kiss and ran down the street. Raphael caught sight of his friends and headed over to them. "Ya know you catch aids that way" Duo joked. "Am i supposed to care? im gonna die here anyways." They continued walking down the street, having no place to really go.
A girl was walking down the street, coming towards them. Duo figured that she was oriental by the way she looked. Her hair was the same style as his except it had a voilet tint to it. Another goth Duo thought to himself. But this one is pretty. She walked past them. "Hey baby" Duo turned around to see Raphael standing in front of her with his hand on her upper arm. "Get the fuck off her Raphael!" Duo lunged at him pushing him away from her. "I was only-" Raphael began but was cut off by Duo. He turned to the girl. "Hey, you ok? my friend is drunk." "I see" she replied. She headed off in the direction that they had come from. Duo's eyes never left her. "Get the fuck off her?" Michael looked puzzled. He put his hand on Duo's shoulder and watched as he jumped. "Hey! Raphael shouldnt think that he can fuck every girl he sees! She probably wouldnt have fucked him in the first place anyway!"
"What makes you say that?" Raphael's speech was terribly slurred and he sounded rediculous. "Shut your damn mouth!" Michael turned to Raphael and punched him in the face. The boy collapsed into his arms. "Lets get this sack of shit home" Michael gripped. Duo grabbed Raphael's arm and put it around his shoulder. He kept turning around to look at the girl. whats so special about her? he thought. They carried the unconscious blonde back to their hangout spot inwhich he lived above.
Duo and Michael carried Raphael up the stairs in the back corner of the club and up to a door. Michael kicked it open with one blow and they dragged the blonde inside. They threw him on the bed and stood around. Bugs scattered to hidden corners of the dark apartment. Duo lifted his boot to keep bugs from crawling up his leg. "Jesus Raphael, dont you ever fucking clean?" Michael asked, sounding annoyed. Raphael raised his head and replied, " What the fuck do i look like?" and dropped his head again. "Come on Michael. Lets get the hell out of this piece of shit apartment and get a drink."
Duo headed for the door and was followed by Michael. He locked the door and slammed it shut. "Heh, that will wake him up" Michael smirked. They walked downstairs to the bar and sat down next to Kira. They sat on both sides of him. "Is that all you do is drink and smoke?" Duo asked, eyeing the cigarette inbetween his fingers and the several shot glasses on the bar before him. "Theres nothing else to do" Kira replied. A girl walked up to the bar and sat a seat down from Duo. He turned and blinked. Its her! Duo scooted over a seat. "Hey sorry about how my friend acted back there" Duo put on his ear to ear grin. "Its ok" she said softly. "Im Shadow." "Shadow huh? cool name. Im Duo Maxwell." "Duo Maxwell? Its different." Duo stared at her. She was so beautiful to him. She looked chinese. Her lips were black which made her teeth pearly white. A collar was around her neck. Beautiful, absolutely beautiful he thought. Shadow jumped out of her seat and placed her tiny white hands on her small hips. "Hey do you wanna go do something?" she asked enthusiasticly, grinning at Duo. He blinked afew times. "S-sure." He stood up to join her. "Let me introduce you to my friends first. this is Kira, and he is Michael" Duo pointed to both of his friends. "Hey" Kira said numbly. Michael grunted and looked in the other direction. "Ah dont mind them. Lets get out of here." Duo grabbed her hand and walked with her out of the club.
"Whats your problem?" Kira asked Michael after the two had left the bar. "I dont like her, she looks suspicious" Michael said, watching them walk out of the club. "Michael you think everyone is suspicious." "Fuck you Kira" Michael shot and stormed out of the club.
