Awa: *raises an eyebrow* That last chapter was a bit of a head trip, ne?
Tori: ^__~ Duo's a guardian angel already… Now if only we could get that Heero boy to repent…!
Ke: Oh, shut up. You know you like man-whore Heero just the way he is.
Tori: *giggle* Hee~ero's a ma~an who~re.

"Trois! What are you doing? The princess's dress should be pink, not yellow," Donna scolded, shaking an oversized crayon at the Russian boy stretched out on the floor next to her. Her bottom lip jutted out in mock-anger, but her face glowed with happiness. She shook her head at him, setting her large blonde curls swinging and bouncing.
Trowa had to smile. "I thought she would look pretty in-"
His sentence was cut short when Donna's bedroom door slammed open. They both looked up.
"Who the hell are you talking to!?" the girl's father snarled, glancing about then fixing his burning stare on his daughter.
"N-no one, papa."
"Well then shut the hell up, you nutcase!" He slammed the door shut with such force, two of the dolls on a shelf near the door toppled to the floor.
Donna was crying.

"Hey, mom…" Tobias mumbled into the receiver of the payphone mounted on the wall. Heero stood beside him, leaning in slightly to catch both halves on the conversation.
The woman on the other end mumbled something, and Tobias looked around before replying, "Jail."
"What HAPPENED!?"
"I was smoking at school…"
"Tobias…" the woman choked, "I…"
"Will you come and get me?"
"…no. You're staying the night. Maybe you'll…you'll learn."
Tobias jerked the phone away and slammed it onto the phone hook. He grumbled profanity under his breath and glared sideways at the guard with the keys, who was caught up in a conversation with another inmate.
"You brought this upon yourself, you know," Heero said evenly. His ward shunned away, staring angrily at the far wall. "What I don't get is what compelled you to light up then. You're not that stupid… So were you so sure you weren't going to get caught, or was it a cry for attention?"
"Maybe now I can get some decent help…"
Heero smirked. "Not the best way to go about quitting, but I'll give you some credit, Toby."

"Holy trinity, Treize…I was only gone for a few hours…" Duet huffed as she and the taller angel weaved their way through a line of souls towards the gates of Limbo.
"JULIAN!" Both angels looked ahead, startled. Storming out of the gate in front of them was a rather angry-looking seraph. He stomped right up to Duet, crossed his arms, and glared down at her. "WHERE HAVE YOU BEEN!?" he demanded.
Duet twitched. "…turn the volume down, ya flamer…"
"Hmph."
"Well, Ryuki, I can see you've done an absolutely brilliant job assigning wards…"
"Well maybe if you weren't off SOCIALIZING with sinners, you could take care of your own job!"
"Children…" Treize frowned and pushed them apart.
"WRITHE IN THE FIRES OF DAMNATION!"
"Make me!" Duet retorted and stuck out her tongue. She turned up her nose and walked right past him headed for the gate.
Ryuki shook a fist at her, but reconsidered and dropped it. "…spunky little hell-spawn…" he sighed.
"Miss! *pant pant* Miss!" Teak cried flapping violently to catch up to its master. Out of breath, he perched for a short break on Ryuki's head. "I'm sorry, sir. I'll be gone in a moment…"
"…bird?" FOOM! Teak was, quite frankly, on fire. When the flames died moments later, a rather charred-looking avian sat upon the angel's head. It coughed up a puff of smoke and, disoriented, fluttered off.
"Thanks…for the rest…I think…"
