*******************
The myterious singer was a lithe boy, clad in tight faded jeans and a dark green tank top, that showed of his tight muscled shoulders nicely, topped with an unruly mob of chocolate-colored hair.
By the time Duo had jumped over the seatrows in his way to reach the door across the room, the boy had already dissapeared in the masses of students littering the other corridor.
Frustrated that he couldn't spot the brown head anywhere, he turned around to his friends who had joined him again, after a less spectacular and dangerous spurt through the music room.
"OK Trowa, spill it. Who was that?" "I don't know much about him."
Trowa's answer shocked him more than a little. If Trowa didn't know, who would? The older youth knew practically everything about what was going on in this school and knew probably more about the pupils than their mothers. It still creeped him out sometimes and he wondered what his friend knew about himself, but what was it with that boy?
"Come on Tro. What do you know?" "His name is Heero Yuy, fifteen, but only one class behind you two, joined this school only this summer. Presumable Japanese origins. Very popular with the teachers, but also the chicks. This boy's got already more girls after him then the footballteam and we combined."
The two younger boys stared at Trowa. Quatre, slightly lost in his thoughts sported a nice little blush, and Duo had an unbelieving grin on his face. That was not much? Shit! What did he know about them?
"So...do you know where we could find him?" "No, like I said, I don't have much information about him and so does anybody else. He's in no after school clubs, he's got no friends I know of and he does no sports. That he sings is a great surprise."
Duo started pacing the corridor in his agitation. "Then how the hell are we supposed to find him?"
"We can split up. This way we can cover a greater area. With us three and Wufei, we should be able to find him with relative ease. So..." Quatres calm speach was cut short by the sound of the bell. "Let's meet at the lunch period, OK?" Duo's eyes were practically sparkling with relief and happiness, he sure seemed to be very affected by this strange encounter. "That's it! You're a genius, Quat!"
Fortunately Quatre was saved from the fate of being crushed by an enthusiastic Duo by the second ring of the bells, that indicated the immediate start of their classes. The three friends parted ways and headed to their respective classes.

Duo scanned the crowd restlessly for an unruly mob of dark brown hair. He had been searching for a good fifteen minutes now, but still no luck. How could he have thought, they would be able to find the boy? Even with four people searching, it was a nearly impossible task considering the size of their school.
"Gah!"
Jumping in shock, Duo stood face to stony face with Trowa, who appeared right before him. Only a tiny smirk, not noticeable by someone who did not know the European teen, showed his amusement at Duo's reaction.
"Jesus, Tro! You nearly gave me a heart attack! Don't scare me like that!"
Trowa sobered a bit but the amused air didn't leave him completely. "I found him." Was his only statement and once again his smirk widend as he saw the exited expression on Duo's face.
"Where? Why didn't you bring him with you? He could have wandered off to god knows where. Didn't you speak with him?"
"No. He's outside, behind the gym." "Then let's go!"
Trowa turned around and walked outside, the braided maniac trailing behind.

The unibanged teen steered towards a group of trees, where Duo could see two boys. He realized two things.
First of all it became very clear why all the girls where after that boy. Chocolate bangs shadowed deep blue eyes, you could drown in. Those stormy eyes were set in a delicately, but clearly masculine, shaped face with high cheekbones and honey skin. Heero Yuy was not only well build and handsome, he was downright beautiful.
The second thing however was, that he was not alone. Standing beside him was no other than Dave, star of the footballteam and an absolute jerk, who was currently shouting at the younger boy.
"I warn you. Leave your fingers from my girl!"
The angry voice drifted over to the two musicians and Trowa had to hold Duo back when he wanted to ran towards the other two to 'save' his new discovery.
"No, Duo. Let him handle that." Duo turned questioning eyes on his friends but complied.
Meanwhile Heero's former unreadable expression was marred by a mocking smirk, although his voice was cold and even when he replied.
"I never touched your 'girl'. Actually I don't even know whom you're talking about. But I see why she would be on the search for a new boyfriend."
Duo winced when he heard the reply. That was very brave, but also damn stupid. The blond footballplayer towered over the small boy and outweighted him by far. Was he suicidal? You just did not insult Dave, if you wanted to see another day. And exactly like Duo predicted, the linebaker rammed the poor boy with an outraged cry against a tree. A big fist connected with Heero's cheek and his head rocked back, but when the burly blond drawed his fist back for another swing, it was caught before he could hurt the blue-eyed boy again. Dave looked shocked from Heero's still mocking face to where he held his fist in his hand, efficiently stopping him.
"You had your hit. Now it's my turn."
Ducking under the arms holding him in place, Heero rammed his fist into the other's stomach, leaving him grasping on the ground. The Japanese youth casted a last disparaging look on his wanna be attacker, wiped the small trickle of blood from his full lips and turned away.
Duo had watched the whole ordeal with an astonished look, but snapped out of his stupor when he saw him walking away again. Calling for him to stop, Duo ran after the less than happy boy.
"Heero! Stop!" The mentioned boy turned around, practically growling and grabbed the unsuspecting Duo by the collar. "I didn't do anything to your girlfriend. Get lost!" "Huh? No no. That's not it. I wanted to ask you if you would like to join our band. You see we heard you this morning and we're searching for a new lead singer. You would be..." Heero had let loose when he heard that Duo wasn't another jealuos boyfriend, but his scowl was still in place. "Why should I?" "Hey! We're pretty good, you know. We've played in all the clubs around here. It was completely sold out! There is..." Duo started to rant about his favorite topic, his band, but was interrupted again by the unfazed boy. " No, you misunderstand. Why should I join any band?"
Now this response send Duo stumbling, he blinked stupidly and opened his mouth a few times but nothing wanted to come out. "You don't even know yourself? Pathetic. If you can find a good reason for me to join, find me." And with that he walked away.

Big, big thank you's to JAY, Silent Lullaby and 36,5 matches. It's good to see that someone out there seems to like my crappy stile. Reviews like that keep me going, but don't hesitate to criticize me, I need that too. (You know the drill: hit me, kick me, give me animal names. Just kidding.^^)
I still need a name for the band, so any suggestions are accepted greatfully.
Bye bye
