Title: Duel, Chapter Two, He Has No Name
Summary: Looks like it's a get together after all!!!
==
Times have changed so suddenly There is nothing left to look back at
"Who was it?" Heero lay down in bed; looking up at the woman before him. She was different now; not just the Vice Foreign Minister and not just a girl he met back then Secretly; and secretly enough he saw her as a well presented candidate for the future (whenever that came to be) Mrs. Yuy. The edge of his lip curled; interesting enough.
The Violet Crown looked down at the receiver; puzzled. As she turned around to face Indigo; her satin flowed in the hotel's misty air, he was still under the covers. They had been sneaking out lately; meeting each other secretly. Booking hotels under fake names; today (and for the past few days) Heero was Mr. Maxwell. One of the names he liked to use.
Usually, she was snuck inside the building; to avoid any types of contact with the media. They had Noin to thank for that; she was sure. "It was Duo." They never slept together. It was the time that mattered between them. He knew it would ruin her reputation and she knew he had a world to save. Easy as pie; or possibly Cheese?
Relena walked over to the bathroom; grabbing her towel before entering. She awaited Heero's response.
It's hard to forget how we met Under the sky at dusk When nothing mattered but us
"What'd he say?" His indigo eyes flashed; sunlight joined them. It had been awhile since he'd seen Duo; but he had a feeling he'd been tracking him lately. No one was supposed to know was; besides Noin. But he didn't doubt that she wouldn't tell him; it was just something she would do.
Relena paused; she knew he had to leave again. Holding it in, she smiled; it brought an unbroken promise out from his eyes. "He said that he wants to meet you in the lobby in ten minutes."
Silence; but no Tension.
Indigo climbed out of bed; it had been a while since the Street Rat visited him. This would prove to be entertaining; at every level. As he slipped on his jeans and shirt, Relena whispered. "You're leaving again aren't you?" But the Violet Crown still smiled; he could tell she was still laughing inside.
Before he answered, he walked into the bathroom; readying himself. He already had his shirt on; and his gun was already set. It wasn't something that would end his life; but he still had to be ready.
As he brushed his teeth; she came up behind him, hugging him slightly and awkward. Instead; he spoke, pushing her away. "I'll be back sometime soon. Keep the door locked; don't answer it if someone knocks."
She smiled back at him; Indigo nodded.
I can understand But do you even care That someday I'll need more?

"Now that's a familiar face if I've ever seen one." The Street Rat smiled up at the Indigo boy; he was still walking down the stairs when Duo spotted him.
When Heero met the floor; they stood in silence for a while, examining one another. Two unspoken best friends; the way they used to stand; and the way they would stand forever. They nodded; marching outside. Indigo could tell this Street Rat wanted something.
.
"What'd you come here for?" Heero looked over at Duo; who continued to play with the birds. They walked around the gardens for a short time; the sun had already risen now, making Duo smile. As everything always did. His patience was dying low now; he wanted some answers.
Duo sighed; his trademark, throwing over his hands and outstretching his back. It took out his real personality; something that every person was attracted to. "Dorothy's invited us over to Quat's for a little get- together." He began to smirk.
"Hmmm." Indigo walked towards the coast; it was one of Relena's favorite places to go. They usually rented rooms from hotels that were closer to the coast; the sun rose 'prettier' here. Which was true. "What did Quatre say?"
Duo picked up a rock; they were on the pier now, skipping rocks was something he liked to do. He could never beat Trowa or Heero at it; but he was better than Wufei. That made him the slightest bit proud. "From what I've collected; he has nothing to do with it." He leaned forward, they were even before the horizon; but he wanted to catch Heero's expression. When he saw none; he reassured himself.
"What do you think of that?" He wasn't sure if he had failed to mention the fact that Heero had to talk to Trowa; and Trowa to Wufei. It was like Duo to suffer from some type of memory loss.
The Japanese boy still looked over the horizon; thinking of his options. Chances were this would go chain-letter style. He would invite either Trowa or Wufei and they'd appear happily ever after in the god forsaken middle of no where on Earth. OR. He just wouldn't go at all; let Quatre and Dorothy settle this game by themselves. But he doubted they would be able to; it was just a Quatre-Dorothy thing.
He looked over his shoulder at Duo, skipping stones. One. Two. Three. Heero watched as the American boy picked up another stone. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Sometimes the children who stayed at the hotels would leave stones on the pier; leaving him things to play with. Usually it would piss of the older fishers, so he figured Duo was doing them a favor, indirectly; as usual.
I'd try and help you if you don't mind Competition marks our bloodline Long ago and far away Children stood in our shadows
"Anything else on your mind?" He had learned to read Death; it was something that most people saw as easy. But that was the issue; Duo was just so good at running and hiding, sometimes it didn't matter. Still; Heero could read him now, they were older.
Again; silence stood alone.
Duo sighed; he looked over at the horizon, his cap still bent over his eyes from the night before. "Naw; just something between me and Hilde."
Heero looked over at him; only his eyes moved when he spoke. It made people feel little, small, powerless. But it didn't work on Duo. "Why? What happened?"
Must I force you to speak?
"Hmmm." Duo sat down on the edge of the pier now; Heero joined him shortly after. It was one of those moments that neither of them could remember; would remember in this case. But they both knew; if Relena was watching, or anyone for that matter; there would be a written account in history.
A wise man once told me Tears could be dried Damn liar should burn in Hell That isn't the slightest bit true
They sat for an hour; at the minimum. Throwing glory at the dolphins who road the waves in front of them; wishing they were as free. But one of them had to break; that's how it worked, best friends always had to break.
He stood up now, his braid to his friend that sat over the edge. Throwing another trademark over his right shoulder; he left with his final words. Nothing that Quatre could pull off, or Wufei or Trowa, or even Heero for that matter; and still, Duo expected to see them all very, very soon. He had already seen enough of Trowa; it was time to all of them for once. "Ask No-Name."
As he walked away; Heero counted each footstep that come pounding down on the pier. There were only twenty one steps; the pier wasn't very long. He began to breath deeper now; it wasn't like a model soldier to sigh.
He returned to his standing position. Before he would enter the hotel; his cell phone would be turned on. It looked like he was going to be seeing Trowa sometime soon.
