Pairings: 2x1, ZechsxNoin, and many others
Disclaimer: No I don't own them *sighs*. Come to think of it, I don't have a car, the house I'm living in ain't even mine, I'm a parasite that only depends for her parents for money. I-own-nothing!!! There, happy!?! ( I have a very odd feeling I've read this line somewhere...)
CHAPTER THREE
Though Lu is five years older than Heero, he was almost as tall as she is so they didn't have trouble dancing, as if there will be in this kind of tune. They weren't dancing per se, they're most likely gyrating their bodies to the fast music that was being played.
It's hard to talk with the loud music pounding over their eardrums and being surrounded by a hooting crowd. Heero would have preferred taking Lu back to where he was hiding behind the bushes a while ago but they've got no choice. Jei doesn't keep them to do whatever Heero and the others wanted when they want to. Once he gave his wards an assignment, he makes it a rule to follow it thoroughly, he's a perfectionist when it comes to his bread and butter, meaning always. It was a miracle Heero had lasted that long hiding without Jei finding him out.
So here, they were, dancing with the music when Heero felt a very hard stare on his back. He slightly swayed his head on the side to see who it was. Hn. It seems like the ambassador's son hasn't given up yet.
He moved even closer to Lu, put one hand on her nape and pulled her to him so he could talk to her ears not realizing that with this position, the two of them looked like a couple making out on the dance floor.
A seductive grin showed on Lu's lips. "Hmm, so what is this all about? Are you making a pass at me, little brother?"
"Hn."
Lu laughed at that and actually pulled Heero closer to her.
"Spill it."
Her smile faltered a little. "Spill what exactly?"
Heero moved around so that his back is on her to let her see what was behind him. It was Milliardo Peacecraft watching them closely, more like glaring murderously at them actually. From Heero's experience, that shouldn't be in the eyes of any of Jei's prospective clients. The way Milliardo looked at Lu was just so damn possessive, and Heerom could tell Milliardo was jealous of him, and he don't understand why he should be. His train of thought was interrupted when he felt Lu tensed behind him. Heero faced her again in worry.
"Lu?"
"Can we sit somewhere, Hee-kun?"
He could not resist a request like that could he? Lu and the others only call him by his pet name when they have something serious to discuss. Risking Jei's wrath, he decided to give in. They danced for a while longer then worked their way within the throng of people to hide from Jei.
After a couple of minutes they were away from anyone's sight.
=^0^=
Moments before...
"Heero?!? The lanky half Japanese, half Russian(1) push-over boy whom we always made fun of at your sister's birthday parties!?!"
Milliardo nodded at Duo, eyes never leaving the dancing pair.
Duo looked back at the said boy. "B-but this boy is hot and sexy...he can't be Heero. And don't tell me that that person he's dancing with is Lucrezia Noin? The tomboy you always tease in our senior year? What happened?!?"
"You couldn't be more right, Duo. Apparently, we've missed a lot since we entered college. I was shock myself at his transformation. I guess you could say that the duckling has now turned into a swan." Milliard replied in clenched teeth. Heero has just moved even closer to Lu, one arm on the lady's nape pulling her closer to the boy giving the onlookers an impression of making out on the dance floor.
Duo was surprised to see such possessiveness from his cousin. Milliardo isn't the type to get jealous over something when it suddenly hit him. "Don't tell me that you've fallen in love with someone, Zechs. And to Noin, nonetheless." His voice held warning in them.
"Don't be ridiculous, Duo. I won't fall in love with a woman like that!" Milliardo said in a calm tone, eyes never loosing it's ferocity especially when he saw Noin laughed at something Heero said.
Duo's eyes turn to slits in suspicion. "You better be sure, Milliardo."
Now it was Milliardo's turn to be surprised. Duo never called him by his real name before. He looked at his cousin. "Of course, I'm sure, Duo. Unlike you who always play around with different person every week, I pride myself of decency."
"Yeah, right! You're just good at being subtle, Zechs but I'm quite sure you're hiding your harem under your sleeves," Duo sneered, both men laughed at that.
"So," Duo continued. "This Noin is just one of those women right?" he have to make sure.
It was a moment before Milliardo got to answer. "Of course." Even to himself, the words don't ring true but he buried those thoughts away without giving them the chance to surface. He was of noble blood, he can't fall in love with a whore like Noin.
"The same goes to you, Duo. I saw the way you looked at the boy," he reminded.
Duo just grinned at that. "Hah! As if I'll ever fall in love! And certainly not with him. He's just another trophy to be conquered Zechs. Nothing more and nothing less."
Milliardo grunted and glanced back on the dance floor only to find the couple gone. 'Damn! Where did they go?!'
=^0^=
"Any reason why Sir Peacecraft should look like he was about to have my head anytime soon?"
Lu shrugged. "I can't understand him! He acts as if he cares when in truth he only cares about himself! I hate him!"
"What do you mean, Lu?"
"Mil- I mean Sir Milliardo—he wants to marry me, Heero..."
"He what?!?" Though his voice was low, there was a distinct edge in them.
"Milliardo Peacecraft wants to marry me," she repeated in annoyance.
"I heard, what I mean is, does Jei knows about this?"
"He had made arrangements to have a talk with the doc tomorrow. That's what we were arguing about earlier..."
"You don't want him?"
"Wanting him and liking him are two different matters, Heero or so Sir Milliardo said. Yes, Heero, I like him, and truth be told I think I've already fallen for him. But he has a different idea. You see, Heero, Sir Milliardo only wants to marry me so he could bed me."
Heero was silent for a few seconds. "But Lu, he could still do that without bothering marrying you. Like what—." Heero felt his throat constrict with emotion. He couldn't continue. But he didn't have to for lu had understood, it was a common faith for them.
Being under Jei's control and as his properties, they don't have the right to choose what life they want to lead. As long as the price is right, Jei would sell them without even bothering knowing what would happen to them.
Their new owner may just want them as a sex toy and they could do nothing about it. Or they could use them as a tool to bring their owner's family fortune and fame, slaving themselves to work. Some even go all the way as far as using them as prostitutes in their business. There were only few of them who got lucky. One is Sally who was married to a wealthy television man, the other was Sylvia Moore who had married an ambassador's son and is currently having her wedding party tonight.
And while Jei waits for the right price to come, he's using his remaining wards as models to bring a large amount of money to him and at the same time doing a free publicity of his goods in famous fashion shows. Their fate is dimmed, their future uncertain. Their happiness taken for granted.
"Heero." Lu whispered and hugged the young boy at the same time. If it was hard for them to accept this kind of lifestyle, it was three times harder for Heero. Unlike them whom Jei had bought in their teens, Heero was merely three when he came to Jei. And in his tender age, Jei already had him trained for anything the doctor thought was necessary and could add to Heero's charisma to the mass. Already preparing him for future buyers. Like how one create a certain furniture to catch a buyer/s attention. Yeah, to Jei they are only objects and means to make ends meet. Life doesn't suck, it's cruel.
Tbc...
Yup, I do think that Heero is half Russian co'z of his features and traits on the Gwing series on TV. It explains his eye color anyway. You know, Prussian eyes?
sethdrix: Sorry if its taking too slow, but I want to give each character a life too, so I have to give them a story and I want to clear some things about Heero's and the other girls' lifestyle. Well that being away, don't forget to REVIEW REVIEW REVIEW!!!! THANKS TO THOSE WHO HAD REVIEWED THE FIC, I PROMISE TO THANK YOU ALL PERSONALLY ON THE NEXT CHAPPIE!!!
And again, no FLAMES! I haven't received such a thing yet but I can't be too sure. But I will appreciate a constructive observation about this story, so there!!!! Ja! @_@
