The Winter Haunts
Gwing AU: ^^

Okay, I had a guilty conscience for leaving one chapter up and promising to update way in October. My bad. Here something to chew on a little *pats self on the head* There, my devil and pitchfork was put away.
Chapter One: They're here.
+++Trowa+++
/I was only three years old when my family left France. Why do they think I know where I'm going? Quatre turned the map upside down twice and Zechs is practicing his lines for his upcoming play. Well, this is the first time they've given him a big part. And what's with Wufei? Those pills don't usually knock someone out for long. They just help put you out, not keep you out. Did Quatre turn the map again? Man. Someone kill me. /
Quatre sneezed, "Oh, excuse me Trowa. Some one likes me." The young blonde smiled at his long time boyfriend and went back to deciphering the road map. "I think we took the wrong turn. I'm not sure."
Trowa sighed, "Give Zechs the map. He's good with directions."
Quatre huffed and crumpled the map a little. "I'm good with directions too! It's a little a bit confusing, that's all."
/He's so adorable. Inside my head I want to get away from everything, then he opens his mouth and everything changes. Usually for the better. I wish he'd give Zechs that damn map though. He's driving me insane getting it wrong. /
Zechs sighed, "What a terrible script this is. Maybe I shouldn't do it. There's this gross nude scene and it's full of sexual conflicts. Otto has some serious explaining to do."
Wufei sat up slightly, "What's there to explain? Who wouldn't want to watch you walk around naked. I wish you did so more often, you're so gorgeous my big and tall, Zechsy."
/Wufei obviously just said a little more than he should have. Quatre's blushing like he's never heard of that sort of thing and Zechs looks like he's trying to get out of the car. That must have been embarrassing for him. I can barely keep my eyes on the road. They look so funny right now. Quatre finally sees the funny side to Wufei's little confession. It's a little corny but his smile really brightens up my day. Ever since band camp, I've completely loved him. It was cute how he came onto me. 'Do you want to play my flute, Trowa?' That is something I am never going to forget. /
Trowa laughed out loud and caught the attention of his passengers. He looked around then at the road, "What?"
Zechs raised an eyebrow. "You were laughing?"
Quatre nodded, "Suddenly too. Did you think of something funny?"
Trowa immediately resented his private internal conversations. "Nah. I just remembered a joke."
Quatre gave up and handed Zechs the map. "Here get us there."
Zechs sighed and opened the map, having it cover his half-asleep lover. "Okay the hotel is just down the road, now. What time is it?"
Quatre checked his watch, "About two o'clock. We made good time." The boy smiled and turned around.
Trowa raised an eyebrow. "I'll say we made good time. Considering we were lost, we made very good time."
+++Heero+++
/Do they know where they're going? I'm going to be really pissed if I'm following them and they don't actually know where the hell it is they're taking us. Its cold, Duo fell asleep and that cat is scratching the damn rented seats up through her cage. I don't think that cat likes me. Why is Duo unconscious? I didn't hit him, I didn't put anything in his food earlier, and I didn't directly ask him to go to sleep. I wish he'd wake up. It's too quiet when he's not awake. /
The cat made a hissing noise, as if sensing the bad thought aimed for it.
Heero frowned, "Don't start you. I've been riding with just your company for half an hour and you haven't been thrown out of the window, yet."
He looked at the cat through the rear view mirror. "If you had not gotten him angry, he'd be awake right now."
"Who angry?" yawned Duo from the passenger seat.
Heero blushed and looked out the window. "Nothing. Have a good a nap?"
Duo sat up and stretched, "Not that you care, but I had a nightmare."
Heero raised an eyebrow. "What? You don't do nightmares?"
Duo scratched his head and sat back. "Yeah I know. I don't think I even dream most of the time, but just now, I had a nightmare."
/What on earth would scare Duo in a nightmare? Probably some huge responsibility. Maybe he dreamt he had a wife and kid somewhere. I had a nightmare like that once, except Duo was the wife and the kid was Damien from Omen. I think I died and the world ended. Glad Duo's a boy. /
Duo leaned over and rested his head on Heero's shoulder. "Do you mind if I tell you about it. Even if you don't want to hear about it?" Heero nodded, giving Duo permission.
"Really? Okay, I was alone and it was dark. I couldn't find you and there were a lot of rooms and stuff. I was opening doors and all kinds of obscene shit were going on."
Heero frowned, "Obscene good or obscene bad?"
Duo laughed slightly, "I've made you into some kind of pervert huh?"
/Pervert? Me. Nah. I just bought that ball and gag because I really thought you were just cute in it. Of course I'm not any kind of pervert. Too bad he's not watching me roll my eyes. /
Duo trembled a little. "I kind of hope we are lost. Then we won't have to go to that hotel."
Heero wrapped his free arm around Duo. "It's okay. Don't worry. I left all the pervert toys behind the doors in our house."
Duo giggled and shushed Heero, "The cat can here you man. I swear it has something against me."
Heero shot a rare smile and looked across the road. "Hey that's a big building up ahead. We finally made it."
+++Zechs+++
/All hail the conquering hero. I saved the day again. Where would this lot of misfit children be without my gracious, giving attitude? All right, I'm feeling a little pompous, but I did finally straighten out the directions. It couldn't have been a moment sooner because I am terribly hungry and am in dire need of lunch. I think we only lost an hour to Quatre's misdirection. We should be quite fine once we get inside. I hope they have a working kitchen staff up. /
Trowa followed the path up to where some restoration workers were going home for the day. He pulled over to the side of the road. "Well they have your company uniform on, Quatre. Lets ask where the front gate is."
Quatre nodded and stuck his head out of the window. "Excuse me. May I speak with you, please?"
Having been mistaken for a car full of pretty young girls, one of the workers whistled.
Quatre frowned on his behavior. "I'm Quatre Winner. I'm the new owner of the hotel up ahead. I've come to check on its progress and stay a few nights inside it. And of course, I'll commence an immediate worker evaluation of everyone restoring the building."
/Well they certainly are put in their places Quatre. Could you be a little less polite and sound like you're going to fire our admirer over there? That would be very amusing. /
Quatre looked at the man who whistled at the car. "Well? You have my attention. I assume that is why you were whistling. You do have something to say right?"
For a polite and sweet young man, Quatre could have a dark and scary tone when it came to business. The man backed down and apologized. A more civilized worker pointed ahead. "The front gate and new park space is right ahead sir. It's good seeing you here."
/My, that man is actually rather handsome. I think I'm smiling a little too much, because Wufei doesn't seem very happy. /
"Zechs!" Shouted the small Chinese boy. "Stop staring! I'm right here!" He sat up and moved to Zechs lap and laid his head on the blonde's shoulder. "If there's something you want to do, then do it to me!"
Quatre ignored his oncoming nosebleed and told Trowa to continue forward, leaving his workers on the side of the road.
Trowa looked back at the affectionate Wufei. "Cut that out Wufei. Don't encourage him Zechs."
/Don't encourage him? How the hell could I avoid encouraging him! /
+++Treize+++
/I can barely see my own reflection anymore. I remember ginger hair and dark blue eyes all right. I know I'm wearing my suit. I know what that bitch looks like too. I can see her just fine. Hell, I haven't seen my whole figure properly in years. But outside I can see the cars move back and forth. This building is beginning to be reborn. Even when I'm walking down the still dead halls, I can feel the new life resonate through it. And that bitch is nowhere in sight. Thank goodness for that. What's this I see? My, what lovely boys are here? Are they going to come inside? I should welcome them. /
"Darling," says a dark haired woman. "We aren't getting any ideas are we?"
/I can face her right now. An interesting situation is about to unfold in my home. I might as well tell her she's powerless to stop it. I am going to enjoy myself and I am going to take back my building. What is her devious soul thinking of over there. I know it has to be something despicable. I've haven't enjoyed our marriage in years. All this time I spent wandering around my own home and watching as she continues her demented orgies with those men in their sleep. /
"Lucrezia, my dear wife. How good of you to seek me out. However, I don't want your company. Go find someone to manipulate or something. I am busy."
The woman walked closer to the window, "Oh but Treize. I want your company. I need it. Really I do." Her pale skin was less translucent that her husbands. She was more accustomed to visiting the living and breathing world. She looked out the window and watched as a tall blonde walked out of the car.
In unison the two spirits laid claim to him. "Mine!"

Well? It's not scary yet but wait until I show you what's going on behind those doors Duo saw. ^_~ Oh, who do you think the ghost should interact with first in the big spooky hotel?
Oh and apologies for the scary Noin. She's really my favorite girl in almost all anime, but I couldn't put Une as someone obsessed with Zechs. I needed Noin for that.
