Duo's Visit

Chapter 7: Telling the Others, and the Future

Duo was napping in his favorite sun- lit windowsill, when Heero scooped him up, and stuck him into his carrying case. "Shiiiiiii- ni....", Duo yawned, before curling back up to rest some more.

"We're going to go see the guys.", Heero said, Duo was already asleep again, "Lazy baka.",

So, they headed for Quatre's home, who had been the one to set up the get together... Heero rang the door bell, and Quatre answered it. "Hello, Heero, I didn't think you'd be able to get away from the office...", Quatre said, cheerfully.

"Quatre.", Heero said.

"Yes, Heero?", Quatre asked, taking Heero's coat from him.

"It's a Sunday, I always take them off, I suggest you do the same sometime...", Heero handed Quatre the carrier, "Hold on to this for a bit."

"How cute, it's a Duo chibi! How'd you find it? I heard they're very rare.", Quatre cooed, "Can I?",

"Sure.", Heero sighed.

Quatre promptly took Duo out of his container, and started to fawn all over him like crazy. "Shini!", Duo stated, glomping onto Quatre.

"Aaaaaaawwwweeee!", Quatre squealed.

"He's a lot more then an ordinary Duo chibi, Kat.", Heero explained, "But, I can't really show you why until the rest show up.",

"Really?", Quatre responded, "Well, then, guess we better go to the front parlor then.",

"You mean they're all here?", Heero said.

"Yup!", Quatre smiled.

...

So, both entered the room, where Trowa, and Wufei, and Milliardo, also Quatre. Heero sat Duo in the center of the table, before sitting down. Trowa looked at it an expression of slight shock on his face, which only those who looked closely would notice, Wufei glared at Duo as he tried to snatch a peanut from his plate of snacks, and Milliardo watched with mute interest. "Guys, I think you need to know something....", Heero sighed, "That, is Duo, not a Duo chibi, but Duo Maxwell....",

Upon Heero saying that, the chibi flew to the couch to perch, and then changed back into Duo in his normal, demon form. Everyone's mouth dropped. "D- D- Duo?!!!!!", Wufei exclaimed.

"Nice to see ya too, Wu- Wu!", Duo greeted, "Mmmmm... Cashews, my favorites, mind if I?",

Wufei just nervously nodded as Duo took a few to munch on. Trowa's look of shock faded, "What are you?", he asked, calmly.

"Demon, I would have been an angel, but, that's boring!", Duo groaned, "At least now I can possibly stay here, that is if that slave driver Lucifer allows me to.",

"I see...", Quatre said, quieter than usual.

"Yeah, and now I have one more person to show my true form to, but I'm saving it for a special time.", Duo replied.

"I understand.", Heero stated.

"Yo- You mean when you decide to marry? Right?", Wufei found the words to speak.

"My point precisely.", Duo said.

"Wow, are you here to stay?", Milliardo asked.

"Maybe, depends....", Duo sighed.

...

It was later that night a letter arrived for him, and Duo opened it. "Dear Duo Maxwell, Do to the circumstances surrounding your arrival, you are to stay with the Yuy family for until the passing of all your fellow pilots have come.", it read.

...

So, Duo told Heero the exciting news, his response, oh, boy....
