Chapter 3: Death's Demons

Duo's POV

How did I know Fei-Fei would be happy to see me? Easy. Even though I had sent my boys to beat on him, when he saw me that day I knew he was hooked. I get that often. I don't know if it's my hair or that I'm just plain sexy but I get tons of attention. I'm not being self-absorbed or anything, it's just the truth.

So naturally, when I saw him walking home from the library one evening, I knew the opportunity was too good to pass up. I followed him back to his house, interesting place. Damn huge too! I hide around the side, all the while gaping at the enormous home. After about half an hour, the screaming started.

"Let me OUT!" Were the words I heard from the window above my head. I had found Fei-punk's room. The shrieks and bangs pounded on through the night and it got slowly darker and darker until the moon was shining brightly in the sky.

A black Volvo inched its way out of the garage at the front of the house and flew down the street. Wufei, I could tell, was still in his room. It took me a few minutes to get his attention. I didn't want to break the windows so I had to use the tiniest little stones to throw.

"Psst" I shouted up to him. When Wufei's divine little tear streaked face appeared at the window, I grinned.

"Hey Wuffers! What's all the screaming about hon?" His face lit up in realization.

"Duo! What...?" Oh it was priceless. Just the look on his face. Heh, that was when I realized, I was falling for him. I treasured seeing his cute little face all contented and happy.

"I came to find ya Wu Wu." I said gleefully. "Judging by all the yelling, you don't want to stay either"

"Hell, no! Get me out of here!" he called back to me. I nodded and threw him a rope which, I'm guessing, he tied onto something in his room. Next thing I knew, his slim body was sliding down the rope and standing next to me. We mounted my bike and we were off, rushing down the street in a bust of exhaust and wind.

He gripped my waist tight and pressed his body against mine. He was so fragile; I don't know what I would do if he ever fell off of my bike. Then I would be plagued with guilt when I see him in the hospital. It felt good though. He was depending on me to bring him to our destination safely. It's nice to have someone to depend on you. It makes you feel wanted I guess. It's an awesome feeling. I thrived on feeling in fact. So many things had happened to me in so much time, that to not feel anything at all is like an illness to me. I need to have emotions to live my life. Without them I'm just a shell.

We arrived at Headquarters about 30 minutes later. Not that I minded the time we had there, just riding the wind. Pulling into the parking lot, we were greeted, well, disturbed by two of my members. Wufei had just stumbled off of the motorcycle and was trying to gain some balance in his wobbly legs when he saw them.

"Um, Duo...who are they?" He asked me, pointing to the pair of boys; currently busy ravishing each others mouths, blushing a furious red.

I turned and laughed. "Tro, Q-man, dudes get a room"

The smaller one, a blond stepped away from the taller brunette giggling and touching his delicately bruised lips. "Hello Duo" he said meekly, noticing Wufei and cocking his head to see. "Who's your friend? Is that the kid we...er..." I nodded.

"Yeah Quatre, this is Wufei." I turned around to find said boy hiding behind me like a shield. He was too cute!

Having those bad experiences with Zechs, Solo and Heero had damaged him more than I had expected. Quatre looked a bit hurt.

"What did I do Duo?"

"Nothing, he's just afraid you're going to beat his cute little ass like Hee-chan did." I laughed again. "So what was the matter with staying inside to have a little make-out session?" It was subject change time.

Trowa placed his arms around his boyfriend's waist and snuggled his face in the crook of his neck. "We wanted to be alone." He murmured against the pale skin. "We can never be alone with the rest of the guys hovering over us. You know how they are."

I nodded. "Of course. Well, we'll leave you two be now. Caaarrry Ooooonnnnn!" I took hold of Wufei's hand tightly and dragged him to the club's entrance.

He was scared. I could see that easily, by the way he clasped my hand like a lifeline. I suppose he knew what to expect with the rest of my gang. Quatre and Trowa were the most even tempered of my whole group. The other boys, well, they're just rowdy. It's good to have a party with them. But not good to bring a younger, smaller, shyer boy into a room with them. I vaguely knew how the evening would turn out. It happened most other times too. One of the guys would bring in their love interest; everyone would inspect him or her from every angle possible to humans, and then decide whether or not they were good enough for us. Being who he was, Wufei would probably be shot in a second because of his lack of real personality. I wouldn't let that happen. I felt sorry for him. This was all his dammed parents fault. Their fault for screwing up his life. Oh yeah, I'd make them pay.

The lights were low and music was blaring, just like you would expect in a real club. The strobe lights were flaring and buzzing wonderfully to the beat. None of my guys were dancing though. They just listened to the music. It was so loud you could feel the bass pumping in your veins and in your heart. I didn't know if it was the music or if it was Wufei that was shaking more. He clutched the back of my shirt with his free hand, and I could feel his eyes roam around the room, scrubbing over the crowds trying to find 3 in particular. Okay, yeah, I know he was nervous now. No one had ever acted like this when they came to meet the gang. I knew Wufei was different the moment I saw the smaller Chinese boy. Smaller and younger I could tell. 17 I reckoned. I was 3 years older than him at the time. Hell, he would have been the youngest person there.

Two of my buddies came to me when I first entered, straying from their drinks at the bar to greet me. Treize and one of his best friends, Jack. Treize, being older and smarter than his companion, noticed Fei first.

"Hey Duo, who's the boy?" He asked nonchalantly.

"He's a cutie" Jack sniggered from behind him. I glared my best at him.I just can't compete with Heero

"This is Wufei. You might recognize him from somewhere." I smirked, pulling said boy out from behind me. Both their eyes widened to the size of dinner plates at an all-you-can-eat buffet.

"But Duo!" Treize protested. "Why would you...Heero will...this isn't a good idea."

"Screw Heero, that uptight bastard." I joked. "No not really. But don't worry. I know how to handle Hee-chan." Winking at them, I moved on.

The pair of us gathered more attention as we walked further inside. My boys were sharp. I only picked the best. They could recognize anyone from anywhere at all. Form years back or months back. So naturally, they immediately knew just who Fei-Foo was. Some, I can say, didn't give a shit about him and turned back to whatever they were doing. Others started whispering, or glaring or laughing. But I wasn't worried about them. I didn't show it, because I wanted Wufei to trust me, but I was afraid of Heero's reaction the most. He was my oldest buddy in the group, but the meanest. My second in command and has just about as much power over the gang as I do. Almost, but not as much. He could kill Wufei in a split second if I left him alone with him and really only get a lecture from me. Possibly more.

It wasn't long before my Japanese friend came along. Word gets around quick when you have people whispering to all their buddies. And since we're all friends per say, Heero could have found out 2 seconds ago, or the moment we walked in. If he was mad at first, he sure didn't show it. He sauntered over to me and Wufei almost shyly and tried to look happy.

"Konnichiwa Duo-kun" He murmured under his breath. "I see you have brought a guest." His sharp eyes passed over my bundle of nerves and I saw something flash in his eyes. It was unreadable, as was Heero himself most of the time.

"Hey Heeeeee-chan" I drawled out. "Yuppers. You know Wufei ne?"

"Do I ever." Heero sneered, now full out glaring at Wufei. "You don't mind if I talk to you Duo?" he asked.

I raised my eyebrows at him. I was wary about leaving Wuffers alone with the rest of the guys too. No doubt they'd want to start questioning him. To see if he was worthy of belonging to their leader. Keh, the monsters I had trained. But I let Heero lead me to a corner, waving briefly to Wufei, telling him to make himself comfortable, though I knew he couldn't possibly. He has no street sense whatsoever. I made a mental note to teach him.

"Duo," Heero growled at me to get my attention. See, he didn't talk normally to people. He either growled, sneered or snapped. On occasion, he's in a good mood, that's when he won't. "Have you gone psycho? Bringing him here! It's a disgrace! I know you like him, but now he knows where we hide. How can we trust him?!"

"Aw Heero, he's too afraid you'll kill him if he tells." I retorted. "He's scared to death of you, so just leave him alone. You'll be seeing him around more often, get used to it."

"I can't"

"Then that's too bad, isn't it?" I turned away from him.

"Duo! Don't turn your back away from me!" Then he shoved me forward. I had always known Heero to be rough. In truth, he was probably stronger than I was, but I was three heads taller and a year older. He might have been tough, but I could be intimidating when I wanted to be. I glowered at him, sometimes Heero just didn't know when to quit. I swiftly backhanded him across the face.

"Don't EVER shove me again, man! I don't want to have to get nasty with you." I warned before stalking off. Heero had some nerves.

As I had suspected, I found Fei-Foo surrounded by my friends. The poor boy was being bombarded with numerous questions about his personality, his interests and how well he knew me. But most of all, how I had ever come to find him interesting. I strolled over to the group, unconsciously noticing the fact that they would always part for me every time. Wufei looked up to me, his face twisted with anxiety and his onyx eyes pleading for aid.

"Guys," I declared. "I know that Wufei is a very appealing specimen to set foot in our little dump, but I'm sure that he would appreciate it if you dispersed for a while. He's already very nervous and you're making him sweat."

All of them left, with only little mumbles amongst themselves serving for apologies. I smiled.

"They're tough guys really, but when you get to know 'em, they're okay dudes." I motioned for Wufei to follow me, and he did like an obedient little dog, silent and tugging at the collar of that cute blue tank top that shows his well defined arms. I paid way too much attention to the boy for my own good.

"Wufei, do you drink at all? 'Cause I can get someone to get you something." He shook his head.

"You've never even tried?"

"My family finds it dishonorable to drink alcohol because it can make fools out of people."

I snorted and his head bowed lower than usual. "Sorry Fei Fei. It's just, you're parents are fucked up. I would go over there and kill them both if I could."

"You got that right." He grumbled. I laughed.

"See Fei Fei, you're already starting to act like me." I winked. "It's a good thing, don't worry. You'll be a member of Death's Demons in no time!" I added cheerily. He gave me a quizzical look.

"I don't think that's going to happen."

"Don't doubt just yet. I have my ways."

For the first time since he arrived, Wufei smiled.

Heero's POV

I rubbed my cheek as I watched Duo go back to his precious Wufei. I know hormones when I see them. Duo tries to be subtle, but I can catch onto his actions easily. It's a gift I share with Quatre a bit. The fact was, Duo was crushing and crushing hard on the little Chinese boy. This was laughable simply because Wufei seemed terrified to even be near here. And it was the only place the two could really meet without getting in serious trouble.

Just by looking at Wufei's composure and demeanor, you could tell how his parents raised him. He was withdrawn obviously, had no street sense, and was disciplined so much that he was afraid. So his parents had to be strict little bastards.

No, I didn't feel sorry for him. How could I? I get in trouble from Duo when I beat him up, when in reality, I was told to do just that! Sometimes it makes me so angry I could just kill Duo. I consider him my friend, but is he ever a pain in the ass.

... A gorgeous pain in the ass...

Mistress Shinigami: I am NO good at cliffhangers. But yes, this is a cliffy!

Karasu: pokes the review button

Mistress Shinigami: Karasu has run out of smart-aleck things to say. So anyways, I won't be getting Chapter 4 up for a while. I have to go somewhere for a couple of weeks. Sorries! Er, so yeah, here are Trowa and Quatre! I know, I know, not very big parts, but to elaborate what I said up top, they will play a bigger role later on. Basically, they'll be like Wufei's only friends besides Duo in the group. Also, Duo will be helping Wufei gain some street sense, and possibly something else. Wink

JA NE MINNA-SAN!!!
