Chapter 6
First Duo was looking at the Sora, then he was looking at nothing. He looked wildly around, and when he saw nothing he fumed.
'More of his stupid pranks' he thought angrily. Marching away he grabbed Wufei and Quatra by the arms and hauled them off. Trowa followed as usual with a surprised look. Reaching Heero who looked like he'd seen death, Duo grabbed his arm too and dragged him off.
"We're leaving!" Quatra looked at Heero who shrugged and got on his bike. Wufei only muttered about something and got on his bike and left too. Quatra smiled lightly and whispered to Duo
"Are you okay?" Duo looked at Quatra, sighed, then nodded. He got into his sports car and drove off while Trowa waited with Quatra for the limo.
"Quatra." A voice called. Quatra spun around and found Miss Relena on the steps.
"Yes?" he said not quite sure what to make of this. Relena walked up to him and put an hand gently on his arm.
"Please look out for Duo and Heero." She said softly. Quatra was about to reply that they could take care of themselves when she silenced him.
"I know they can handle themselves, but I feel something bad about to happen. Something that I don't think either one of them can handle alone. Please look out for them." She whispered and walked away. Trowa looked at her walk away and stared at Quatra. The Arab stared back and shook his head.
'Still.' The youth thought as he watched the limo pull up. 'When Relena tells you something bad is about to happen, you listen.' And with that thought they got into the car and drove off.

"What on earth possessed me?!?!?!" Soa thought as he paced around the room. Garda had snuck into the human realms and was now watching him with growing interest. Finally, she was tired of this and floated in front of the other god's face.
"Will you stop?!" she said loudly. "You're giving me a headache. So you told him who you are. Big deal!" she yelled and flew down to the bed of the hotel and sat down.
"Not a big deal for you, but it is for me! I almost began to like him for an instant." Garda went ridged with shock, then she smiled,
"That IS a problem. I mean liking your brother as a lover and-" she began when Soa threw a fireball at her.
"You know that's not what I meant!" he said fuming. "I can't go soft now! If I do then...then I'll..." He trailed off and looked at the floor. Tears began to form at his eyes and he brushed them away angrily.
"Shit. I'm acting like a human again." He muttered. Garda smiled comfortingly. She flew over and landed on his shoulder.
"It will take you a while before they leave you. In specific terms, you're still a human with a strong astral light. You have to live at least 100 years before you stop having emotions as strong as a human." She patted the side of his head. Then smiling she flew to the front of his head and said with a wink.
"How's about we order Chinese and lay back for the night? I hear there's a good movie on tonight. Something about a...a boy and these things called Jidi?" she looked at the TV guide scratching her head and Soa laughed.
"Jedi, Garda." He smiled at her. She smacked him on the head.
"Don't be purt, for humans, these guys can come up with some good movies. I hear this guy dies at the end!" Soa laughed and commented that, that scene wasn't supposed to be the highlight of the story. She only laid down on the bed, flicked the TV on with the remote control and picked up the phone holding it to him so that he could dial. Soa laughed and dialed,
"Hi, we'd like a pizza with pepperoni and cheese. Heavy on the cheese." He added seeing Garda's charades.
"And two cans of Pepsi. Thanx." He smiled and set the phone down. Garda pounced on him.
"I said mushrooms! Not extra cheese!" Soa smiled.
"That was a mushroom? I thought that was a weird hand signal. Ouch!" she pounded him with her fists and he laughed. Sitting next to the fairy Chrysaetos smiled at his friend as he saw something the actors called 'lightsabors' being whacked with constantly and something called the 'force' he looked down at the fairy and snickered to find that the fairy was totally glued to the TV. He smiled and said quietly
"Thanks for being here Garda. You're a true friend."
"Don't go mushy!" She complained. "You're acting like a human." And went back to her movie. Soa's mind wandered away and he thought about what she said.
'Maybe I still AM a human at heart.' He pondered about this as he laid back on the pillow and sighed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"So why did we have to leave so early?" Wufei asked of the young pilot who was currently sulking.
"I found the guy who's a god." Duo said suddenly. Wufei jumped and pounced on him. Quatra stared and Trowa began to pelt Duo with questions.
"WHO?! For gods sake who?!?!? Uh, pardon the pun..." Wufei said to the raised eyebrow from Duo. Duo sighed and covered his eyes with a hand.
"I'd tell you. But you'd never believe me." he said sighing.
"Why not?!" The black haired pilot demanded angrily.
"BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T SEE HIM!!!!!!!!" Duo suddenly screamed and the other three jumped.
"What are you talking about?" Quatra said softly. Duo sighed and leaned back again.
"When I blanked out before I was talking to a guy before that. When I asked you about him you said you never saw him. But if you saw me pass out then you would've had to have seen a silver haired guy somewhere near me!" he cried out in frustration. There was a pin drop silence before a cold voice broke in.
"He's right you know. There was a guy talking to Duo before he passed out." Everyone turned to stare at a stone eyed Heero. His mouth was a thin line and he looked like he might kill.
"Heero...wha-?" Wufei began staring at the Japanese youth. Heero shook his head and walked up to Duo.
"I have a problem too." He sighed and held his head in his hands. He looked defeated which did not look normal.
"Heero...." Duo trailed off questioningly. Heero brought his head upright and looked at Duo.
"What are you keeping from me?" He demanded coldly. They stared, then Duo broke the silence.
"Apparently, according to Wu-man here. I'm a god. Then tonight, I met this guy named Sora, first time was when he bumped into me near the entrance. That's when I got this." he muttered and pulled out the necklace. They all stared at it before he continued.
"I found that guy a little while later, and when I tried to give this necklace back to him he whispered in my ear, and I quote;
'This belonged to you in a former life, it's your now' end quote
then after that, I blanked out near the fruit punch table. After things were back to normal I met that guy who called himself *Sora* we chatted for a while."
"And this is when?!" Wufei demanded, Duo sighed.
"When you were flirting with your lady friends." Quatra and Wufei blushed while Duo resumed
"Anyways that's when I talk to him, he seems just to be joking around. Then when I tell him that I'm sure he pulled that flashback on me he looks me in the eye, whispers in my ear that his name's Soa, and that he's the god of destruction!" if it were possible to get any quieter it did. No one moved, it even seemed like no one was breathing.
"The god of.....destruction...." Wufei whispered in awe.
"I thought that's what Heero would be...." Trowa said looking at the stern eyed youth. Heero rose his head sharply and looked at the 4 of them.
"WHAT?!" He demanded loudly. Trowa flinched at the slip and cowered beneath the young male's fury.
"Nice going Trowa.." Duo whispered from the corners of his mouth. Heero continued to glower until Trowa explained the whole mess about their thoughts of them being a god. Heero just swore and sat back down cussing at them, Quatra breathed relief. He thought they'd get worse then this.
"My story is a little odd as well." Heero said in a murmur. They looked at him and he breathed in deeply.
"Don't you think it's a little odd to have your best friend from 12 years ago to come back to you?" He asked of the others. They stared and Wufei began
"Not really, I mean that's a big coincidence, but not weird."
"Looking like Duo except with gold eyes, a more serious face if you can imagine, and looking like a ghost." They stared.
"I'm serious! He looked like Duo except more stern and...and see through." He muttered the last part.
"Oh boy....." Wufei sighed. Duo was thinking about this when it hit him.
"WAIT! What did you say your friend looked like?!" he demanded. Heero stared at him then repeated the description. Duo snapped his fingers smiling.
"May I ask what you're smiling about. I don't think there's too much to smile about lately." Wufei said plainly annoyed.
"Remember that flashback I told you about?!" he said standing up. The other's nodded and Duo grinned.
"The one I had was of a guy who looked just like me, but a little different. More stern, and had gold eyes!!!! Sound familiar?" he asked looking at all of them. They all stared at him wide eyed.
"So that means, this god is Heero's old friend too?!" Trowa demanded.
"This is getting far too weird...." Quatra muttered. Wufei nodded in assent.
"So...how does this make Duo a god still? You usually meet the god BEFORE you take the drink."
"How many rules does this stupid mythology have?!" Duo demanded of Wufei. When Wufei glared at him Duo backed away hastily. He began to think, remembering one more fact he mentioned this to the others.
"He....he also said one more thing. He said that he was.....he was my..." Duo trailed off and looked away.
"What?!" Wufei demanded his patience at an end. Duo looked up and sighed.
"I think I figured out where I met Soa. I think I met him at an orphanage . . . . . the one I lived at when I was a kid." He sat down as the weight of this new knowledge pulled him down.
"What?" Quatra murmured softly as he watched the young pilot's face sag with fatigue.
"I think he was at the orphanage I lived at because....Soa said that he was my brother. I had a brother at the orphanage. A....a twin brother. With gold eyes, and his name was....his name...was Soa." Duo finished as he gulped. The pilots looked at each other at a lost for words.
