Okie-day people, this is the (long-awaited)third chapter of the story. I
hope I haven't made all of you turn away from it by not updating for a few
months.
Please read and review people.

Chapter 3: Start of searching
Duo, Quatre and Zechs sat at the library, looking for any clues that might lead them right in their search. Duo was very enthusiac. A little high on caffeine though. He had trouble sitting still on the chair and his tail kept on wagging quite furiously. The good thing about that was that he hardly noticed any other people at the library, thus making him less nervous.
The two blondes were able to sit still but they also thought it was beginning to get a little boring to just sit on their butts on hard chairs all day, looking up stuff in different books. But they would rather sit on their butts a whole day on hard chairs than risking to hurt the neko's feelings. He had been strangely quiet and drawn back lately. Though it was not hard to see why, with the kidnappers out of prison. They were all glad that the old Duo was beginning to peek back out again. Not one of them knew how to research family trees, but when they finally asked for help, they got access to a special kind of computer, listing most of the families that were known to them, so they would not have that much of trouble. The only thing they had to do was write in Duo's full name and then the computer searched out the families with the names that would most likely match Duo's.
"Why dosen't it work correctly?!" A very agitated neko... "OH!! I just remembered, Duo Maxwell is not my full name. I have a middlename too."
"And what's your middlename Duo?" The silverblonde asked patiently. "......" Silence, odd... "Duo, you have to tell us, otherwise it won't work. Please." "Shprd." The blonde's shared a look. "Duo, please, tell us so that we can hear you and make out the word." That was Quatre, rational as always. "Stacy..."
The other too men had to bite their lips too keep from giggling out load.
"Can a guy be named Stacy? Really, truly? Is it allowed?!" "Yes, Mr. Smartass!!" Duo's tail was tense and stood out from his body like a flag. "Ok Zechs, stop teasing Stacy, I mean Duo, and get back to work."
Duo rose from the table.
"Excuse me..." He walked to the men's room, which was located a bit further in the library.
The two blondies stared after him.
"I think we hurt his feelings." "Me too."
They continued searcing for Duo's family for maybe 30 minutes before either of them noticed that much time had passed and that Duo hadn't returned from the bathroom yet.
"I'll go and look for him. You continue searching." Zechs rose from his chair and went to look for the violet eyed neko.
After 15 minutes he returned, looking quite concearned.
"Zechs? What's happened? Where's Duo?" "He wasn't in the men's room and not anywhere else in the library either... I found this in the corridor leading out of here."
He held up a black ribbon.
Quatre gasped. "That's Duo's hairband! Something must've happened to him, he would never let out his hair willingly in public!"
Poor Quatre was nearly frantic. Zechs wasn't much better, but he could control his expression quite well.
"We should get back home and tell Wufei and Heero." "Yes, of course."
The computer beeped.

Sooooo... what did you think? Maybe I was a little evil by just ending it here, but I can't take any more writing right now, and I want to get this out so that you all can see that I'm at least a little active right now... This chapter is not beta-ed.
