Sorry I'm a little bit late posting, I just moved in and got settled at my University and recently hooked up the net. As promised in chapter two but forgetting to mention who Duo and Roe's wives were, Woweena is Relena, Hiidee is Hilde, and Teah is Dorothy. Also, Duo was named Bob because Wufei and I both like Titan A.E. and the name Bob ^^;

Disclaimers: The Gundam boys don't belong to me, they never will. I'm a poor college kid so don't sue. You won't get much out of me save for maybe a few pennies. However, the plot does belong to me, I'm just borrowing the characters.

Chapter 3

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Wufei knocked three times on his friend's door - one particular Heero Odin Yuy who would be throttled for waking him up from his much needed sleep. He and his wife, Sally entered the nice little suburban looking two-level house, taking off their shoes as they entered, Heero got pissy if you didn't. The front door had been left opened which meant that Heero either forgot to lock it after they had left or he did it intentionally. As he climbed down the stairs towards the basement, followed by Sally, he never thought once that his best friend since kindergarden would be engaged inn a lip lock with the very corpse he helped his wife dig up at the excavation point in Italy. He tightly gripped the railing to regain his composure and shock as he heard his wife call out Heero's name.

The man kissing Heero - Bob - growled at them as he put a protective arm around Heero who looked up at he and his wife with a dazed expression that could only be defined as sheepish, an emotion he was not accustomed to seeing on his friend. Had Wufei not been trained in martial arts since the age of five, he might not have been able to defend himself properly as 'Bob' flung himself at Wufei, growling angrily as he spoke harshly in a strange language, attempting to punch Wufei. "Roe noe irstana!" (1)

Heero paled as he watched Duo suddenly attack his friends without reason. "Duo! Stop it, they're my friends." Duo stopped in mid-strike and turned around to look at Heero. "Che nora? Ran ix de!" (2)

Heero rolled his eyes as he stood up and walked over to the group, pulling Duo away from Wufei by his right arm. He smiled nervously before muttering an apology.

Sally's blue eyes shone with shock as she spoke a barely audible "my God!"

"I told you, you had to come…" Heero whispered trailing off as Duo eyed Wufei and Sally with suspicion.

"Duo, I'd like to introduce you to Sally and Wufei, good friends of mine. Sally, Wufei, meet Duo, formally known as Bob. Heero heard Wufei gulp loudly before anyone spoke up during the pregnant pause.

"Explain," Sally stated, folding her arms across her chest, oddly taking things better than her usually calm husband. "Tell me I am not hallucinating and the guy I unburied is not standing in front of me with an arm around your waist, glaring at me and Wufei like there was no tomorrow."

Heero looked at Sally seriously. "If you're hallucinating, so must I and Wufei." He then proceeded to explain to his friends the how's of Duo's awakening, not really sure how to explain things.

"So Duo can understand what we're saying?" Wufei asked in disbelief.

Heero nodded as Duo continued to eye Sally and Wufei with scrutiny. "From what I can gather, yes, he can."

"Iras don? Tews dvo nara coros," (3) Duo's soft melodic tenor interrupted causing Wufei and Sally to stare at him.

"See? We just don't know what he's saying!" Heero explained to Sally.

"Let me try something, Heero. He seems to be speaking in a broken dialect of a basic root form of Italian or Grecian language. I'm not sure though, I'm not the linguist, Trowa is."

Duo cocked his head to the side and grinned widely. "Of course I can speak your language. Roe never asked if I could and he understood me fine before all this happened. I think he's just being silly!" he replied in an accent, eyes glinting mischief.

Both Wufei and Heero gaped at the smirking Sally and confused Duo. "All he had to do was ask if I spoke Raeling," Duo said softly.

Heero made a face. "I can't believe all this time you spoke English - I mean Raeling," he told Duo so he wouldn't confuse him further. "How can you speak the language? I thought the people from your area couldn't speak Raeling."

Duo grinned crookedly as he looked at the pouty Heero. "My mother was from Bairu. She was the daughter of a famous trader from the far west near the Forbidden Sea. She taught me her native language when I was a child. She married my father after she was given to him as a gift of thanks. My father did after all save her father," Duo explained to the group. (5)

Wufei looked thoughtful for a moment before speaking and addressing his thoughts to the crowd. "Your mother's land must have been England for her to be able to speak English. Judging by your accent, she must have either been from Wales or Scotland. This is quite interesting. As organizer of this group, Heero, I leave you in charge of Duo's well-being and care. You're going to have be responsible for him since he seems to be attached to you" Wufei said as he watched Duo gently ruffling Heero's dark brown hair with affection as Heero scowled and swatted him away.

"You can't be serious, Wufei! I have to go to work tomorrow since the secretary was unable to find someone to replace me for the rest of this week," Heero said before turning around and glaring at Duo. "Stop kissing my neck Duo, I'm not your lover. This is serious!"

Wufei snorted resisting the urge to laugh as Sally sighed when Duo hugged Heero tightly and whispered into his ear so that only he could hear. "In your past life you were my lover and more. In this life you are not my lover…yet." Duo smirked and Heero gulped as he thought: past life? Before he could question Duo, his basement door swung open with a bang as it hit the wall.

"Yo, bro you down here in this Hell hole? Think I could crash here tonight - woah! Who's the babe?" Heero rolled his eyes at his twin brother, Solo Yuy who walked down the stairs in the blink of an eye, eyeing Duo lecherously. He ran a hand through his neatly cropped strawberry blonde hair as his eyes - the same Prussian blue eyes as Heero - did another once over Duo who in return glared defiantly back at him. Heero noticed Wufei's eyes bug out as he read the shirt Solo wore. It was red and read 'Eat Me' in bold black letters with a little yellow smiley face below the text. He had one hand in his jean pocket trying to pull off the 'Hey baby,' look as Duo gave him a nasty glare.

Sally cleared her throat and tried to ease some of the tension in the air. "Hey Solo! What brings your pathetic ass here? Your boyfriend kick you out?"

"Yeah, thought I was cheating on him with the maintenance guy at the apartment, and kicked me out. So, being the family guy I am," Solo swung an arm around Heero's shoulders, "decided to pay my wonderfully uptight brother a visit. Without me the guy would have-" Heero covered Solo's mouth with a hand.

"That's enough Solomon or you don't get a place to stay while you sort out your soap opera relationship," Heero warned.

"Tsk, tsk. I told you not to call me by my full name. It cramps my style, Heero, or should I say Hirohito?" Solo emphasized, calling Heero by his real name. "Besides, you haven't properly introduced me to your hot friend here. What's with the Indian get-up though? I don't get it. Are you into some weird kinky shit that I am not aware about, Heero?"

Wufei covered his mouth to hold back his laughter as his face turned scarlet as he saw Heero begin to twitch. Wufei decided to intervene before his letch of a brother decided to do something really stupid he'd later on regret, like being killed by a pissed off Heero. "Solo, I'd like you to meet Duo-" Wufei looked around for a quick last name settling on something he saw on one of Heero's books. "-Webster. (6) He's Heero's guest. He's also foreign and works as a model. He and Heero met over the internet and Heero offered to let him stay during his travels," Wufei explained ever so well.

"Oh Heero! You net junkie! You never told me you were talking to some hot stuff," Solo said, putting an arm around his shorter brother as he shook him gently. Despite their half-Japanese heritage, Heero seemed to look more of his heritage than his twin. Solo seemed to inherit their father's classic American roguish good looks that could put any Don Juan impersonator to shame. Solo could woo any man or woman he wanted and always seemed to be the center of attention and most noticed of the twins. Even if Solo looked more American than Japanese, he still had the slanted eyes which made him look exotic. He was well built and intelligent, despite his egocentric attitude. He was after all, a computer programmer. He was the day with the golden sun and Heero was the night, darkness where his brother was a ray of light.

Heero was always ignored by most people - which was just fine by him, but sometimes he envied his brother's carefree attitude. His parents had always compared the two and told Heero he should be more like his brother. Heero sighed inwardly, not a chance.

"Solo, if you want to stay here, you're going to have to do something in return for me."

Solo raised a golden brow. "Oh? Do explain."

"Well, you're going to have to take care of Duo tomorrow and keep him occupied since I have to go to work tomorrow and can't be here with him. Bring your laptop and work over if you must, you can use my computer but make sure he stays out of trouble, got it?"

Solo grinned - widely - like someone who just won a really nice prize as he looked at Duo, who had his chin on Heero's shoulders, ignoring the glares he was getting from the longer haired man. "My brother, I think we have a deal."

"Good," Heero said shaking his brother's hand. "Go upstairs and make yourself comfortable while I talk to Sally and Wufei here about some important affairs that does not concern your delicate hearing." Solo snorted making his way up the stairs, but not before he stuck out his tongue at Heero in a childish manner.

"Who was that evil man?" Duo asked as Solo left, poking Heero's side.

"That would be my twin brother, Solo Yuy. My parents pride and joy."

Duo looked at Heero sadly, "Your parents do not love you? Duo will love you!"

Heero sighed and tightly gripped his desk chair as Sally and Wufei looked at him sympathetically. "Don't worry about it. I'm used to it by now."

"We still have to worry about you Duo. If you want to live with Heero, you're going to have to learn how to fit in properly."

Duo grinned glomping onto Heero. "Heero can teach me!" Duo purred.

"Heero will not if you act like that! Wufei! Sally? Help!" Heero exclaimed as Duo hugged him tighter.

Sally laughed at the scene. "Aw, don't worry Hee-chan. Duo might do you some good. For some odd reason he seems to be attached to you. But right now, me and Fei-chan need some desperate shut-eye. I'll be over on Saturday to do some tests on Duo to see if he's fit and if there are any problems. You take care of him Heero or there will be hell to pay."

Duo began to close the space between he and Heero as he spoke, "Yeah Hee-chan," Duo articulated.

Heero shot his friends a pleading look but they were already up the stairs. Wufei turned around once and grinned impishly before saying, "Have fun," as he turned to leave.

Heero gulped as Duo leaned in and began to kiss poor Heero furiously only stopping twice, once to get some air and the second to tell him "Duo will show you how much he loves you," before continuing to kiss Heero again.

TBC...? (of course!!)

1 - Roe is mine.
2 - Why should I? Let me protect what is rightfully mine!
3 - You think I'm stupid? I understand you mostly.
4 - Not actually true, obviously...I hope...
5 - Bairu would be considered ancient Gaul/Europe. But since Rome hasn't invaded Gaul yet, it doesn't have a well known name. Duo's clan might have given them a different name other than the later Roman term of "Gaul." Also, the Forbidden Sea is the Atlantic Ocean.
6 - I have a very good reason for not calling him Duo Maxwell, but I'm not telling you that now, all will be revealed later on.

Any questions or comments can be e-mailed to me at: Hakumei@otakumail.com any flames will be laughed at and promptly trashed where it rightfully belongs. Hope you enjoyed that crackfilled chapter, bet you weren't expecting Heero and Solo to be brothers eh? A slight twist that I thought would go well...especially for the next chapter. I don't know when the next chapter will be posted, it depends on my work load. University = hard work :/ But...I will TRY my bestest best to post stuff. I do have long weekends all the time (I have no classes Fridays) so I might be able to do stuff.
