Duo's Christmas Vacation Challenge 6
Wufei's Justice Served
12-22-02

~oOo@oOo~


"Hey Fei" came the voice of the lad following his friend through the many twist and turns of the Winner estate. Fondly named 'Winner Maze' by the braided boy. "You think its safe for Trowa to come out of his room yet?"

The Chinese creature walking a step ahead of him smirked knowingly. After his song had been read, shocked surprise hit the Asian men while the others, minus Mr. 'Trying-to-make-a-quick-escape', crackled with laughter at it. After it wore off both gave chase after the European amazon; respective death threats being shouted.

It was a good chase; leading them all through the Winner Mazes, up three flights of stairs and back again, out through the gardens, and around the pool before entering back into the mansion. Amazingly, two hours had passed before they finally cornered they're pray. Backed into one of the servant swells* two bronze tanned hands holding Trowa to the wall, eyes staring between the captive and the other, silently figuring what to do to the boy.

The song on Wufei's part was Injustice! His farts were not so bad as to make a person pass out. Now if you gave Heero or the sweet blonde known as Quatre pistachios... it was best to EVAC the immediate vicinity on the double. Explosion was immanent.

As for Heero's part in the song... Wufei didn't think it was that bad. People who had the nerve did stare at his glares... and his Japanese heritage did make it suspicious for him to be a spy with his brown hair and blue eyes... wasn't something you saw on every Japanese person you happened across.

After much eyed debating, the silent duo came to a decision.

Free arms snaked out slowly, hovering towards the quiet one-eyed young man before them, his eyes searching the two. Widening when his mind finally pieced together what as going to happen to him. If it was one thing Trowa Barton had a weakness for... despised and was beyond pleased that Oz - or anyone else for that matter - had ever found out about... It was the fact that he was overly ticklish... his sides a particularly sensitive area. Goddess' above help him if they tried getting to his feet. The realization alone left him pondering just HOW they knew he was ticklish in the first place.

He started to struggle away from them.

Sometime later, nearly an hour the clock on the wall said, found two Asians standing before a closed, locked, door. Frowns marred their faces as they stared blankly at it, hoping to glare it down. Wasn't working. Trowa had broke free from them with a burst of energy that shouldn't have - but did - surprise them, heading up the stairs to his room. Unfortunately for them, he had made it in time to lock the door before they could get to him.

Regretfully - after finding humor in the other ex-pilots snorts turned snickers, which soon after turned into full-blown laughter - the pair decided to leave the lofty young man to regain his breath, as well as his 'cool' mask together on his own, while they headed back down to see what the other two more lively of the five were up to.

"Hey Fei..." the soft tenor broke him from his memories from the day before.

"Hmm?"

"What're we doin' up here again?" braid swinging gently to the side as his head tilted curiously. He thought it was to let the other finish up his song... but he wasn't sure now... they had passed the library up a few turns back.

Smirking, a chuckled escaped tanned lips, "We're just getting the song Duo... then returning so it can be read." Was the calm, humored answer. He was glad that one rule to this challenge was that no one could help out on the songs, no one could see them... unless you wished them to see it. His songs, as much as Heero's was to them all, is a heavily guarded secret from them all, mainly the braided stealth theft; also known as one Duo "Shinigami" Maxwell.

The boy didn't wear black just because he liked the color. He could sneak in, set bombs and exit an OZ base before anyone knew what was going on, that anyone had been there, until the base blew sky high. He was the slyest one of them yet in lock picking. These are the reasons why his song was so heavily guarded while not working on it.

"Oh... ohhh yeah! I remember now!" goofy grin spread across his face as he reached over taking one of the Chinese's arms in his, hugging it, leaning his head on his shoulder as they continued down the hall.

Entering their room crossing the floor to the walk in closet Wufei reached with his free arm upwards for his katana case. Ignoring the curiously shock expression on Duo, opened the blackish-red box revealing his beloved katana, an item no one dared to touch, at cost of their lives. For that reason, and that reason alone, is why his song was kept in the box. Pulling back the almost invisible pocket in the lid, he slipped the white sheets of paper from it.

Smiling his rare gem of a smile, gently kissed his love's forehead, whom still held a look of disbelief, and led them both from the room, back down the twists and turns to the common room, where everyone else was already seated and ready for them.

"Wufei your ready to read it now?" Quatre asked smiling from his lazy place with Trowa, book in his lap, the other lad reading over his shoulder. He'd had a feeling since after Trowa's reading that his Chinese friend was already finished writing his song.

A nod, "Aa."

"Then please" waiting for the pair to take up a seat beside Heero on the couch, again. "Let us hear your songs wonder."

Wufei smirked at the Arabian mysteriously. He didn't know how close he was coming to something else of his on that comment. Songs 'wonder' indeed! Clearing his throat settling back into the couch he started reading his song. Surprising his comrades by the humor already sounding in his smooth baritone.

'Justice Served'
By: Chang Wufei

Dashing through the snow,
In a beat up Gundam hey,
Through snowploughs I go,
Cursing all the way,

Buzzing alarms scream,
Making my spirit blight,
Oh what fun I'm having now,
Trying to stay alive,

Oh the wires broke,
I see some smoke,
The tridents blown away,
Plasma sounds as it hits the ground,
I think I'll start to pray,

Wreckage bound, I'm bein' hound,
I see the ground, fifty down,
I'm the best; my life's a mess,
This guys goin' down,
Has a meeting with the ground,

"Come on Fei, lets go play!
We've got OZ by the masses,
Time to kick some Asses!"

The speaker crackles, viewer dims,
What am I gonna do with him?
Head towards the ground, fly around,
Make a dive and say goodbye,

Shatters and blast rocket past,
He can finally kiss my ass,
As I fly on past, one finger salute,
My final partings contribute,

Justice was served,
Given on the fly,
The bum never knew,
What was to come,

"Ozzies on the run!
Come on Fei!
Time for fun!"

His braids probably too tight,
He's really is caught in delight,
Scythe an arching green light,
Readily charging into the fight,

Aw what the hell,
Might as well,
Justice will be served,
Oz will fall,
Then we'll see who has the balls.

~oOo@oOo~

Silence ensued when his voice faded out into snuffled snickers. From the looked on the faces, he could tell they were very surprised at his 'song'. Was it the song, or the humor within the song? He questioned himself. Through his arrogant, solitary mask, one would not know he had a sense of humor aside from his sarcastic one. This blunt play on almost Duo like humor was a bit much for them to take in he reasoned.

Soon he was not alone in quiet chuckling. Duo started seconds after wards, followed by Quatre, each eventually having to lean on someone to keep straight. Tear trails were starting to form on Duo's pale heart shaped face. Heero and Trowa's snickers was failed to be covered as much as they may have tried, shaking shoulders was a sure sign of laughter, however silent it may be.

Wufei wondered a few moments later why Duo was still collapsed against him and Heero laughing. The song hadn't been that funny had it? A shrug, aw well, he would not complain on it. Like Heero, any response as such as this was one to be treasured... Even among their selves, rarely did they do something that brought such light happiness into their world, which was always flanked by dark deeds.

"That!" snickers. "Tha-wahoo! That was FUNNY FEI!"

He smiled, "Arigatou, Duo."

"I didn't know you had a sense of humor Wufei!"

Scowling playfully at the blonde he crossed arms on his chest, "Thanks, Winner."

"Erm... heh sorry." Quatre ducked his head giggling.

There didn't seem much more to say after that. A few more quiet comments on it, one wanting to know where the idea came from. "Fighting" and pointing to the braided boy, were his answer. Standing as one the group started breaking up, heading towards the doors intent with finding something else to keel them busy, it was only noon.

"Hey guys!" Duo waved an arm around stopping those that were leaving.

"Maxwell..."

Ignoring his dark haired lover the braided boy stood moving to the middle of the room as the others started to turn back into the room. "He's got another one!"

"Duo, you know I love you... but don't read that one..." he tired to glare his best at the exceedingly pleased boy. That 'song' in fact had not meant to be done. His subconscious started to write on its own, before he knew it, he had another song wrote. Granted it was amusing to a lesser, bland way, compared to Heero's or Trowa's 'original song'... it still held some humor.

He did not, however, wish to learn how the others felt about it.

Duo smiled, his eyes holding a gleam to them. "I know you love me Fei, that's why I'm going to read It." He chuckled with the knowledge that his Chinese warrior held no clue on how this other 'song' came to be in his loud-mouthed American's hands.

Stormy sea eyes examined the two young men before him not missing the looks that carried unspoken words. Intrigued, silently making his way behind the few inch taller boy giving his chestnut braid a small yank, causing said boy to turn giving him a quizzical 'What?' look. Heero arched a chocolaty brow responding in his 'What do you think?' air, his eyes quickly darting to the page and back to those amethyst orbs.

"Ah" smiling Duo lifted the page more so Heero could see it over his shoulder. It was still amusing to him that he stood around three inches taller then his Japanese and Chinese boys. They being tall enough to barely see over his shoulder at all, really only enough to lay they're heads there. He giggled, quite the group they had here. The only one that was taller then himself was Trowa, tallest of them all. Quatre being about his same height, coming to his nose in nose in height, he still had to look up slightly to see into his violet eyes though. Three small; two tall, he mentally laughed.

Smirking as he finished reviewing the Dragon's second song, Heero gave another small tug on the braid before sitting on the couch behind him, tugging down the hyper boy along, smirking more when he emitted a "EPP HEE-CHAN!" ungracefully falling into hunter green almost black couch, half on him.

Turning his head upward sending accusing eyes playfully glaring at the other, Duo smirked back, "You did that on purpose!" Heero gave no indication of if it was true or not. Not that he had expected him to. Noo... him not saying anything at all gave it away... even if it didn't, he knew anyways. "BAKA!" slapping him on his muscled arm crawling to sit up to relax idly next to his friend, he smiled. "You really are a dolt, you know it?"

"Likewise I'm sure."

Trowa had ghost of a smile cross his lips as he chuckled wrapping arms around the slim waist in front of him. "Silly, ne?" the pale blonde whispered up to him. He only nodded back, laying his head on the soft baby like hair, watching.

"The song, Duo?"

"Huh?" broke from his glaring match at the sparkling blue eyed boy Duo blinked down at the paper in his hands, "Oh yeah..." sheepish grin formed on his lips. With one last look to the chair his partner sat in, he started reading...

'Life's Wonders'
By: Chang Wufei

Duo's a pain,
Gets on my nerves,
Sometimes I think,
He's quite disturbed,

The Braided Wonder's,
Made from thunder,
Mouth just as loud,
Makes you wonder how,

His grins beyond him,
Thinks only on a whim,
Silly bouts and midnight pouts,
Puts him out on Hades couch,

Heero's a mystery,
That's never quite made history,
His glares I swear,
Could make you loose hair,
They must be a form of art,

Face stone cold,
It's gotta hurt,
Looks like he has to fart,

Laptops his friend, it'll never end,
Late night clicks, It ain't no chick,
Cold as ice, bored as rice,
The boys lost in paradise,

Trowa's the clown,
That's always around,
Silent as a mouse,
Within the house,

Those bangs of his kinda hang,
To the left of his breast,
Covering half his face,
From the rest of space,

He's a mystery,
That made history,
Identity's an ambiguity,
That seems to put him at ease,

Quatre's a gentleman,
Never been a better man,
Cute as a cat, it's only fact,
Eyes as large as pies,

Heart as big as the Earth,
It's a wonder he's that short,
His element is Light,
Quick and Bright,
Just like his eyes this very night,

We seem a very strange bunch,
But I've got a hunch,
Our incongruity,
Is what's the best of us,

Brains and Bronze,
Silence and Stares,
Laughter and Glares,

It's all alright; it's all-okay,
It's who we are in every way,
We're one of Life's many Wonders,
You have to just wonder,
How we got this way...

~oOo@oOo~

Quiet giggles came from the doors way. "Its cute." Trowa silently nodded. It was cute. What little humor was in it added to it. What he had said though was... different... though none false. His bangs did hang to the left, Quatre did have a huge heart, Duo was a loud mouth and yes, Heero was addicted to his laptop. They, all and all, were an eccentric group one would think you'd not find living together.

Duo chuckled standing once more with Heero's help, "Loud as thunder huh?"

"Can you disagree with him?" Heero smirked moving away, "You are a loud mouth." Gaping at the wild haired teens retreating back Duo blinked.

"Did... Heero Yuy... just run away from me?" it wasn't possible... couldn't have been. Heero didn't run away from arguments, if anything he loved them. Drew a sense of joy from prodding others into arguing, mainly when they had nothing to do. Aw that was probably it! He had something needed to do. That's alright though... I'll get him at the pool party later... rubbing his hands together he headed to his loves side smiling.

"It was cute."

"Mmhmm..."

Still smiling at his contented adorable looking Chinese, Duo started for the kitchen for some much needed food as his stomach decided at that time to rumble... loudly.

"Hungry Duo?" Quatre asked. Wufei groaned... here it comes...

Grinning widely Duo shook his head, "Nope, just seeing if it growled on command!" laughing he skipped past the stalled couple dragging Wufei behind him.

Oi Minna! Well here it is! ::chuckles:: Wufei's chapter... second to last of them all. ::sighs happily and tiredly:: This is gonna be short, sorry almost 4am and I've been working on this since 4pm... so yeah, ready for bed... coming up with song endings are hell, but they came out good ne? ^_^

Wufei's two songs... 'Justice Served' was done to the 'Sleigh Ride' tune. Actually if anyone has listened to the song called "Rusty Chevy" you'll have a better clue as to where I got that one from ::laughs:: Great song! ^_~ ..and 'Life's Wonders' was done to a mix of 'Jingle Bells' and 'Winter Wonderland'... I know... weird...

DeathScytheAngel, if yeh've still readin' this. How'd ya think Wufei's 'Justice Served' measured up to Heero and Trowa's 'original' songs? ::chuckles:: Really liked review (everyones) and took it as an unvoiced challenge to make Wufei's just as good as theirs. ::chuckles:: Did I make me? ::looks hopeful:: Really tried on it. 'Life's Wonder's' was kinda funny, but more so it was cute. ^_^ I like my songs.

Arigatou everyone for reviewing! I love them all, such good reviews. ^_^ Next chapter will have two more songs. Duo's other one and a surprise one heh that no one but me and a short ponytailed guy knows about. Thankfully... I have no songs to write, so I only need to write the chapter... should be out before tomorrows end... heh after I sleep... ::chuckles:: Please review. Y'all have a good one and Merry Christmas!!

::waves:: Ja ne,
