Well, Chapter 7 has arrived! YAY! I love Christmas vacation, nothing to do
except fanfiction.......
Oh, this is the life. Anyway, please let me know what you think of this fic so far, I'd really like to know if you like it or not.
Disclaimer-I don't own the idea of Nataku (it's from KC's "willing slave") or the gundam wing characters. (in any way, shape, or form *sobs*)
When we left off-the mages have agreed to work for king Trowa, but they have to go and get Quatre first, and they have to explain to his parents what's going on. I'm introducing myself, I couldn't help it. I had to have a say in what was going on. *lol* this could get interesting.....

Chapter 7 The Trainer Of The Fire Mage
*~* In The Forest, Just Outside The Village *~*
Duo and Wufei had arrived at the village within a few minutes, accompanied closely by Heero and Nataku. They set up another camp on the outskirts of the small clump of houses, and had agreed not to light a fire while so close to the humans.
Wufei drifted off to sleep easily while Duo was lost in his thoughts. He listened to the three others in the clearing, the young dragon would twitch every once in a while, and was snoring loudly. The wolf had chosen to sleep not too far away from the braided boy, and Wufei had fallen asleep leaning against a tree. Duo eventually drifted off to sleep, unconscious to the fact that he was using the wolf as a pillow.
When Heero awoke, he found himself in human form. Duo's herbs had done their trick, but the animal mage supposed that a bit of magic had been involved as well. Duo was curled up beside him, so Heero didn't move so as not to wake the sleeping boy. He noticed that Wufei and Nataku were not there.
Duo shifted slightly, then his violet eyes fluttered open. He found himself quite comfortable, snuggled up to Heero's warm body.
"Ack!" Duo jumped up. The wolf was no longer there. Instead, a pair of deep Prussian blue eyes met with his. "You scared me." Duo mumbled, surveying Heero's human form. He had messy brown hair, and he was slightly taller than Duo's 5'6". He was well built, and wearing a black shirt accompanied with white pants. Duo struggled to pull his gaze from Heero as the animal mage stood up.
*~*
what's with the white pants, you ask? You'll find out, it's coming soon.
*~*
"You need to get the fire mage." Heero said. Duo nodded. There was something about Heero's voice that he felt he could definitely get used to. Duo then left the woods, heading for Quatre's house. Heero followed him, his eyes on the swinging braid.
Duo knocked on Quatre's front door. Glancing at the position of the sun, he guessed it was late morning.
Quatre's mother opened the door to see a grinning Duo and a boy she didn't recognize. Her eyes narrowed as she saw they were both wearing the traditional mage clothing.
*~*
there, explanation said. If you didn't catch it, you're not reading this properly......
*~*
"Is Quatre here?" Duo asked tentatively, noticing the look in the woman's eyes.
She stepped away from the door and motioned for them to enter as she left to find her son.
Quatre emerged, moments later. He nodded to Duo and said "hello" to Heero, knowing who the boy was.
"Did you tell them yet?" Duo asked.
Quatre shook his head. "No. I didn't know how."
Duo grinned. "Lead me to your parents." He said, bowing deeply.
Quatre smiled slightly. Duo had the unique ability to lift anyone's spirits. He then led the way through the house to find his parents in the kitchen.
Mr. Winner's eyes darkened at the sight of his son with the 2 mages. "What do you want with Quatre?" he growled.
"He has been offered a position on the king's highest council." Duo said. Quatre's eyes widened. ]
Quatre's father looked as if he doubted Duo's words. "The king doesn't even know my son. Why would he want him on his council?"
Heero sighed. "don't tell me you didn't know he's a ......."
Duo poked Heero, unknowingly sending chills of excitement up Heero's spine. "Don't tell them like that" he hissed.
"And why shouldn't I?" Heero demanded, glaring at Duo.
"Because they won't let him go."
Everyone turned to stare at the girl who was leaning in the open doorway.
"who are you?" Mrs. Winner asked.
"The name's Aria." The girl said, entering the kitchen. She was wearing a green shirt that matched her eyes perfectly.
"green?" Heero thought, as he noticed the white pants that the girl was wearing. He was an animal mage, represented by the black shirt. Wufei was weather, thus the blue, and angels were violet. Quatre would be red when he began his training. Heero had never heard of or seen green before.
Duo eyed the girl suspiciously, but he kept his mouth shut. She looked to be about their age, and her powers felt familiar to him, but he couldn't put his finger on them.
Aria turned to look at Duo. "An angel." She said, "and an animal" she turned her attention to Quatre. "very interesting...." she mumbled.
All of the other occupants of the room were now glaring at Aria, with the exception of Quatre, of course.
"I want to know why my son is so important to you." Mrs. Winner said.
"He's no ordinary human." Aria replied. Duo and Heero were still glaring at her. She turned to Quatre. "I must speak with you in private."
Mrs Winner interrupted. "anything you have to say to our son can be said in front of us as well."
Aria sighed. "fine, have it your way." She grumbled. She snapped her fingers once, muttered a spell, then snapped her fingers again.
At first it appeared as if nothing had happened.
Aria turned to Quatre. "How well are your parents going to accept the fact that you're a mage?" she asked.
Quatre ignored the question and asked one of his own. "what was all that about?" he asked.
"all what?" Aria replied. "oh, the spell? I froze time."
"who, exactly is affected." Duo asked.
"everyone except us." Aria answered. "Oh, and the weather with his dragon."
They group in the kitchen heard the door burst open. "where is she?" Wufei growled. Nataku cowered behind him until she saw Aria. Everyone heard the familiar "Croik!" of happiness as she waddled over to the girl.
"Hey Nataku!" Aria said, laughing slightly.
"What's that?" Quatre asked. The dragon closed it's eyes and "purred" in contentment as Quatre patted it on the head.
"It's a baby dragon." Aria answered Quatre's question for Wufei.
"and it's mine." The Chinese boy growled.
Quatre turned to the weather mage. "Hello Wufei." He said. "how do you know Aria?"
Wufei wasn't surprised that the blonde knew his name. it was one of the traits of the fire mage, after all. "we travelled together for just under a week." Wufei grumbled. "she taught me most of the spells I know." He turned to glare at the green eye'd girl who was smiling back. "she never did tell me who she was. Green is not a known colour in the mage world."
"You will know when the time is right." Aria countered.
"the time is right NOW." Wufei spat back. "time freezing spells are banned from the knowledge of all mages."
Duo frowned in concentration. "But I know one." He said.
Wufei turned his glare to the braided boy. "yes, but you aren't a mage, are you?"
"No, I guess not." Duo replied, a thoughtful look still in his eyes.
"she taught you?" Heero asked Wufei, and in return received a glare.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
well, that was chapter 7, please let me know what you think! I wonder what I am. I haven't quite figured that part out yet. Don't worry though. I might be Duo's ONLY Chick, but I'll let Heero have him for this one fic. *lol* anyway, please review!
