Chapter 3, Intervention, Inquiry, Nookie; It's All the Same to Me
A.N. : Oh my G-- ! I can't believe how many reviews I got! I am overwhelmed with happiness! You guys love me!!! And I LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm sorry I can't reply all your reviews, but hey, you'll find out what Duo does soon enough. Sorry about the cliff hanger, but I had seven more pages to type up from my notebook to the next chapter, and I just didn't have it in me. I typically hate cliff hangers too, but for your sake I'll update soon. No more cliff hangers, I promise. And now for your show!
Mamoru's apartment was very boring, Duo couldn't help but notice. And it didn't change when Mamoru turned on the lights either. The colour scheme didn't help to boot. A mint green carpet (not very soft), periwinkle walls, and Duo currently occupied a white leather couch, though it was more of an off white cream. There was a mahogany coffee table two feet away from the couch to which Duo happily applied his feet. A small plasma flat screen TV was sitting (unused) in the center of a cheaply painted bookshelf (ivory coloured). The books that decorated the shelves were varied in category, and all of them looked boring (and unread. The spines looked brand new). There was also an abundance of roses. It almost pained Duo to look around. 'Man, I'm the best looking thing here...' Duo thought, and this wasn't his arrogance speaking.
Mamoru sat in a matching white leather chair and leaned forward on his knees, now slightly more awake, and slightly more irritated. "So, what did you say your name was?"
Duo laughed happily, and then abruptly cut it off, turning dead serious. "I didn't. That's classified information that you're asking for there bub."
Mamoru sighed and touched his temple to Duo's inward delight. "Then why are you here?"
"Well... I like Doves."
"Wha--? What the hell—so?" Mamoru concluded in a confused stupor. His patience was draining away, and quickly.
"You've just happened to injure, break one, have you."
Mamoru stared blankly and then blinked, after a long, painful thought process. "I thought that was a pigeon..."
"Are you calling Usagi a pigeon sir?" Duo said, his temper rising.
"Oh, no, I thought you were talking about that thing I hit with my car today. How do you know Usagi?" Mamoru asked, beginning to get comfortable (though more and more confused) with this new man's presence.
"Let's just say, hypothetically, that she's my dove."
"What?!"
"And you've injured her."
"You don't deserve her!"
"Very badly." Duo continued calmly, largely ignoring Mamoru's out burst. Mamoru then stood up and seized Duo by his shirt collar, pulling him up. Duo glowered, but allowed Mamoru time to speak.
"Listen Priest, you don't deserve to lick this shit off of her shoes! Stay away from my Usagi!" Duo then smirked after hearing Mamoru out. He then grabbed Mamoru by his wrists and flung him over the coffee table, effectively breaking it, and hopefully breaking him.
"You know, below all other men, you have absolutely no claim over Usagi, and it sickens me that you have the nerve to even think of that. You dumped her, you broke her. I, for one, don't know why she ever dated you. You should praise God, or who ever you believe in, that she ever looked at you." Duo said, his anger slightly beginning to show in his voice.
"So lemme guess, you want me to go apologize and beg her to take me back?" Mamoru asked, almost hopefully as he picked himself up from the coffee table mess. Duo leered at him.
"No, I want you to stay away from her completely. If I catch wind of you even breathing near her, I'll come for you."
"So are you her new boyfriend?"
"Would you stay away from her if I was?" Duo said, smirking down.
"No, you can't keep me away." Mamoru said glaring at Duo, who glared right back.
"You're scum. Stay away from her. Why do you even care for her now? Aren't you with that new woman Usano?"
"How do you know about her?" Mamoru said, sounding slightly freaked out.
"Oh I have my ways. So answer my question." Duo commanded.
"Because I still love Usagi... Usano... she just reminded me of Usagi so much, but I don't really love her..."
Duo then slammed his fist into the side of Mamoru's face, knocking him down again. "Then why break up with you? Are you that much of a dick head that you like wounding girls?"
"I broke up with her to protect her. She'll get hurt or even worse if she stays with me." Mamoru said, hanging his head. Duo stared at him for a moment, trying to figure out if the man in front of him actually said that. Then Duo doubled over with laughter. Mamoru said nothing. Eventually Duo picked himself up again, tears of joy still tugging at his eyes.
"I think my laughter said it all bub. Now, I'm a dangerous person to be friends with—let alone to be around. You're just an idiot dickhead. Now—I'm going to cause you much physical pain on my dove's behalf—"
"Mamo-chan, are you coming back to bed—who's this?" Usano said waking out of Mamoru's bed chambers, wrapped in one of his bed sheets. Duo looked right at Mamoru, straight in the eyes.
"Kicking you ass up your throat is gonna feel that much better." Duo said grinning wickedly.
"Nooo!" Usano cried out and quickly ran between the two, stretching out her arms protectively. Duo sighed, looking exasperated. 'Don't hit women Duo, no matter how obnoxious they are acting...' Duo thought over and over again, until he had a good grasp on his emotions. Living with Heero had taught him some things.
"You're not gonna move, are ya babe?"
Usano firmly shook her head, a stiff upper lip. Duo sighed again.
"Aight' Mamo-baka, we'll do this later when your chic isn't gonna get in the way. And if you {Dare} use her as a meat shield, so help me God. And, if you'd like to know, my agency has given me a license to kill. Stay away from my Dove." With those as his final words, Duo then extended his arm to Mamoru, holding a business card with a polite tip of his hat. He then strode from the apartment, whistling a rather happy, bubbly tune. The two remaining looked after him in puzzlement, then down at the business card.

"If I don't smile, don't complain"
"Usagi, your grades are actually raising, but why don't you just do well on the first test instead of waiting for the retake?"
"Usagi, why are you always late?"
"Usagi, you have to stop cutting class, I can't let you slip anymore with these illness complaints."
"Usagi, I'm glad you've stopped eating in class, but now you're sleeping!"
"Usagi, why won't you tell us what's going on?"
Usagi blinked. She didn't remember her teacher sounding like Rei. Oh, ha-ha, that was Rei, pulling her out from her deep reverie. Usagi shook the past few days out of her head and glanced at Rei.
"What do you mean Rei-chan?" Usagi asked, playing innocent. The two sat together at Rei's temple, waiting for the other three girls to show up for their study group.
"Usako, don't play dumb. You've done a complete one-eighty with your habits. What's caused it? What's wrong?"
Usagi glared at Rei. "Oh, so something has to be wrong for me to realize I need to change my bad habits? I can't do anything on my own? I don't see a problem, I'm eating less, Waking up early, studying because I have to, I'm exercising, where's the problem Rei? Huh?" Usagi said, her voice rising, Rei actually seemed to cower away form her best friend. Usagi had never really gotten angry at Rei before. "Oh..." She finally said quietly. Then, savior to their silence, Ami, Makoto, and Minako ran up.
Minako held up a jumbled mix of teen magazines, fashion magazines and manga. "I've got the study material!" She cried out to them as they walked up. Makoto help up a bag of food she had made that day in her home economics class.
"And I've got the study food!" She called out happily. Ami shook her head at both of her friends.
"You know, some of us might actually want to study..." She said pointedly.
"Yeah, I have make up exams." Usagi said with indifference as she flipped to a page in her math text. Makoto raised an eyebrow.
"You okay Usako?" Makoto said. "You haven't even touched the food I made and you are willing to study. Not your norm, you have to admit." Sadly Makoto missed the signs Rei was frantically trying to communicate to Makoto (Ah! No!). Usagi quickly stood up, her facial features becoming dark and angry.
"Is this some kind of Inquiry? An Intervention? I'm eating less and studying because I have to! Can't you just deal with the fact that I will not be the group flunkie anymore?!" Usagi turned to leave but Makoto quickly jumped up and pulled Usagi back down.
"I'm sorry Usako, I really am, I didn't mean to offend you."
Usagi sighed, seeing Makoto was truly sorry not just back peddling. She nodded, then sat down and resumed studying. Silence passed over the five girls for what seemed like hours, the awkwardness of the situation and tension around Usagi make things rather quiet. Or, at least it did for Minako, who with held what she considered valuable information.
"Usagi!" She suddenly burst out, gathering all the attention in the room.
"Yes?" Usagi said looking up, trying to hold her patience.
"Uh, I um, I talked to someone yesterday. She said... she said the most interesting thing!" Minako said, unsure about how to sound wile saying this with out stepping on Usagi's temper again. And now she had Usagi's full attention.
"Who? What?" Usagi said, falling into the gossip trap.
"Well, ya see... I heard, form an eye witness, that you're seeing someone else in the park late at night, someone not Mamoru. Or... are you cheating?"
Usagi's new found eagerness and glee dissipated rather quickly, so much that Minako panicked.
"Minako, who said this?" Usagi's tone had become dark and lethal. Minako swallowed hardly.
"Well, does it matter?" She said nervously. The look on Usagi's face said it all. "Erm—Chibi Usa. She said she was spying on you, and—"Minako clapped her hands over her ears and braced herself for an earful she thought she was sure to get. But Usagi was eerily quiet.
"And did you believe her?" Her voice no longer carried the lethal side of her tone, but the darkness grew all around them. She hid her tears very well. By now, Usagi had mastered the art of facades.
"Well, Chibi Usa said she was there, and I was asking only for confirmation—"
"I can't believe that little wretched brat. I protect her from the dark moon, and this is what I get. Mamoru and I are fine. I would never cheat on him, or anyone else. How fickle do you think I am?" Usagi said quietly, accusingly. Minako was at a complete loss for back peddling. Usagi coldly stood up and left. No one dared try and keep her. Once out of sight, Usagi bolted.
Again she found herself at the park. A vague hint of fire acme with a breeze, then a scent of sweet metallic with a hint of underlying danger blew by with the next soft wind. Duo, the sweet scent reminded her of Duo.
"Hey Babe." It was a simple greeting, but it meant the world to Usagi. She turned around quickly, smiling warmly at him; the angry tears that had been brimming at her eyes disappeared. Duo walked towards her.
"You doing okay?" He asked after she greeted him. Usagi nodded.
"Yeah, I had a row with my friends, that's all. Everything's fine now. How are you?"
Laughing, Duo leaned forward. "I'm great, thanks, but while I love our midnight rendezvous they can't keep happening. It's dangerous out here at night, and I'd die if anything happened to you. You really have no clue as to how many creeps are out here.
Usagi laughed as well. "What, don't you want to be my knight anymore?" She said jokingly as she sat down on a park bench. This provoked more laughter form Duo than her joke required. She gave him an inquisitive look and Duo explained:
"You really want to see me as this hero guy, don't you? I'm much more like the feared black knight, the god of death. And I won't always be here to save and protect you." Duo said, suddenly turning serious.
"Well, then why don't we meet at Crown Coffee shop?" Usagi suggested as Duo joined her on the bench, his arm going around the back of the park bench comfortably.
"Sorry babe, I only come out at night."
"But you said you'd meet me and my friends." Usagi pointed out.
"All in Due time Odango Atama (Usagi flinched). And that, by the way, is an appointment. You know, it's late, I actually have tasks I must get done, and don't you have school in the morning?" Duo said standing up.
"Yeah, you're right. Mum doesn't like me coming out here anymore. How about you meet me and my friends tomorrow at five, the Hino temple? We can maybe go to dinner or something."
"Sure thing. Now lemme walk you home." Duo said, taking her hands and pulling Usagi to her feet. Too quickly though, and she tumbled into him. He welcomingly caught her and wrapped his arms around her. She glanced up to see why, but as she opened her mouth speak Duo leaned down and sealed it with a passionate kiss—Usagi then bolted up right in her bed, her face flushed. Lightly, she began to laugh her dream off.
'So when did this happen? The last thing I remember is crying to sleep over Mamoru, and then I dream about Duo? Funny, my dream was really accurate until that last part.' She thought, smiling as she remembered him agreeing to five o clock the next day. That part actually did happen. 'Yes, tomorrow at five...' She thought happily as she drifted back t sleep on the living room couch.
Duo dragged himself through his bedroom door and flopped down onto his bed where Hilde sat waiting. He sat up abruptly as Hilde began to take his shirt and un button his pants.
'Damn! I have never been so confused! I am an assassin, AN ASSASIN! I can't be playing with girls in the park! Not that I'm older than her... BAD THOGHTS!'
"Hey! Are you listening?!" Hilde burst out, breaking Duo from his thoughts. Hilde had apparently been rambling on about her day while giving Duo a back rub, plenty full of sexual intonations and innuendos.
"Hn? Yeah, I'm listening..."Duo said in a very detached voice. Hilde began ranting again, while nibbling lightly on his ear. Typically very distracting.
'Mess... I'm the young assassin, not the teenage schmoozer. Okay, I'll go, I'll meet, I'll go again tomorrow. Why does Usako even matter?'
"Hey Hilde, could ya stop? I'm not in the mood tonight."
Hilde stopped and spun Duo around so he was faced her. She raised an eyebrow at him. "And when are you ever not in the mood for some nookie?"
Duo scowled and pulled away from her, lying down on the opposite side of their bead. "Now sounds like a good time. And do have to call it "nookie"? I mean, there's nothing cute about it." Duo said pulling the bed sheet up to his chin indignantly. Hilde crossed her arms.
"Fine then, no nookie for a week." She dictated. Duo rolled his eyes.
"Cuz' I can't get that {anywhere} else." He grumbled quietly and sarcastically. Hilde thumped the back of his head. Duo grimaced, but shut his eyes tightly...
