The Gods Affair – Chapter 7
~*~
"So Duo," Minako smiled, as she pulled the jacket closer. The silence was almost unbearable. Duo looked like he was fighting a losing war with himself, "Where did you learn to fight? Your very good,"
Duo froze for a second before relaxing, "I lived on the streets for a while, I guess you could say that was were I learned how to fight,"
Minako looked him up and down, "Interesting," was about all she could think of. She felt her heart speed up, as he looked at her. Her body immediately got warmer at his heated gaze. With effort, Minako turned her head. They had just met!
"So how exactly, do you find so much trouble? One might think you go looking for it," He joked as he leaned against the rail beside Minako.
Minako flushed, "It's not like I go looking for trouble, but I couldn't exactly just leave that woman to those asses. As for the swimming, al I was doing was swimming!" She said defensively.
Duo laughed, "Alright, alright, you win, so you don't go looking for trouble. Trouble just finds you right?"
"Something like that," Minako frowned. Her brows fitted together slightly, as she stared at him, "You look familiar, have we met before? I mean besides the fight and swimming thing,"
Duo's eyes roamed over her beautiful body, silently wondering the same thing. She did look very familiar to him.
"Duo?" Minako asked quietly, braking his train of thoughts.
"Uh, ya?"
"It's stopped raining," She said with a smile, stepping off the Gazebo.
"So it has," He drawled, "Well, it was nice seeing you again."
Minako frowned for a second as she took a quick glance at him, like she was fighting a mental battle. Finally she smiled again.

Usagi looked up in surprise, noticing the lack of rain in the atmophere. Her eyes scanned the clearing sky, "Makoto, I thought the rain was supposed to stay for a while longer,"
"It was," Makoto replied, confused also at the sudden change of weather.
Ami frowned and squinted into the air, "I wonder what made it stop?"
"I know why it stopped," Rei said, angering touching her voice as she pointed to their left. Everyone followed her finger, until they saw four boys kneeling into the bushes.
"I can't believe this!" Usagi exploded angrily. Her usually peaceful eyes seemed alive with passionate loathing.
Without waiting for the rest, Usagi stormed over to the boys. They must have felt her angry presence because they all turned around to stare at the heated angel.
"What do you think your doing?" Usagi asked through gritted teeth, punctuating each word forcefully.
Trowa answered for them, "We're doing what we have to do. I suggest you leave before you get hurt."
"Don't threaten her!" Rei exclaimed furiously as she stepped beside Usagi, "If you want a fight, you'll get one! The alliance is more than over."
"Well," Wufei said standing up, "I'm glad you agree. I think it's about time we settled this once and for all."
"Devils!" Makoto growled, "You're going to be sorry for messing with our friends happiness."
They stood directly across from each other, trying to stare the other down. Adrenaline rose from both sides, all pumped and more than ready to fight.
"Hey guys," Came a cheerfully curious voice from beside them.
With a curse, Heero and the rest quickly turned to face Duo and Minako, who were giving them both a questioning look.
"H-hey Minako," Usagi said quickly, trying to cover up the tense atmosphere, "Hey Duo, fancy meeting you here,"
"Like wise," Duo replied raising an eyebrow, "What are you doing here?"
"Well… you see…" Ami began, a faint blush covering her cheeks.
"We were taking a walk through the park," Wufei interrupted, trying to best the angel at lying.
"When suddenly we were attacked by this vicious dog!" Makoto quickly picked up, realizing the now forming lying contest.
"We saw the girls were in trouble and immediately rushed to their aid," Quatre explained.
"But when they arrived, the dogs turned on them and instead of saving us, they ended up being chases by these puppies," Rei sneered.
"Naturally we weren't really running from these puppies," Trowa countered, "We were simply playing with them. I can't quiet understand why the girls were screaming like these dogs were going to kill them."
"Oh, you didn't see the mother and the father dog," Usagi growled lightly, "They were huge! But of course we didn't want to scare you guys or anything so we took care of them ourselves."
"After we scared away the dogs for the girls, we ended up over here, talking pleasantly about the weather and how it conveniently keeps changing," Heero finished coolly, ignoring the dirty looks from the girls.
"Well…" Duo said giving them odd look, "That certainly is an interesting evening."
"It sure was," Usagi smiled, sweat dropping.
"So…" Minako said staring at them curiously, "I guess after something like that, you guys must have gotten to know each other pretty well," Suddenly she snapped her fingers, "I know! How about we go out together some time? It'll be great!"
"Sounds like fun," Duo grinned, "You guys can get to know each other better. Think about it, an entire evening to get to know each other,"
"Sitting and talking for hours," Minako added.
Both were oblivious to the darkening looks of their friends.
"Sounds…peachy," Wufei snorted.
"Great!" Minako exclaimed happily, "How about tomorrow?"
"T-tomorrow?" Quatre asked, his eyes widening, "That's very soon."
"I think we're busy tomorrow Duo," Trowa added, elbowing Duo in the ribs not so gently.
"No problem, you guys can tag along some other time. Minako and I were planning on…"
"No Duo," Heero said, "All of us are busy tomorrow,"
Duo frowned for a second before finally catching on, "Oh, well then, how about some other time?"
"Sure, sounds good," Minako said smiling, "Well we should get going. I'll talk to you later Duo,"
As Minako and her group left, Duo turned to his friends, "So what really happened?" He asked, arching an eyebrow.
"That doesn't matter," Heero told him, "You can't see her anymore."
"Oh? And why is that?"
"Because she's a prostitute," Quatre blurted out, "We've seen her before."
"Right," Duo said, hiding a grin, "Sort of like all those other blonde prostitutes I've dated. It's kind of weird how the entire population of blondes have resorted to prostitution."
"Duo…" Quatre pleaded, "Please listen to reason. This Minako is bad news. We know she'll hurt you. Don't see her again,"
Duo's features darkened. For some reason, them talking this way about Minako angered him greatly. The need to lash out blinded him temporarily as his body suddenly didn't seem his own.
"Duo?" Trowa said quickly, breaking him out of his revere, "It doesn't matter anyways. You have no way of contacting her," he pointed out. The rest of his friends breathed a sigh of relief.
Duo eyed his friends, mildly amused, "What are you talking about?" He waved a piece of paper in front of their faces, "Of course I got her number."

"Miiiiinako!" Usagi smiled pleasantly, "It's such a coincidence that you and Duo met up? Did you have a good time together?"
"You should know," Minako, pointed out, "You were following me,"
"We told you what happened!" Usagi told her.
"That's right," Minako gasped, "Those vicious dogs who turned into puppies, amazing how that seems to happen. Why just last week I was being attacked by an over grown king fisher, who suddenly turned into a kangaroo!"
Usagi frowned, "Now that's just ridiculous. We don't have Kangaroos here."
"Usagi," Makoto groaned, "Just let it go."
"I hope our not angry with us," Ami asked timidly.
"not really," Minako told them smiling.
"Your not?" Rei asked cocking her head to the side.
"It doesn't matter," Minako confirmed.
"It doesn't?" Makoto asked dully.
"Nope," Minako said cheerfully.
"Are you sure your alright?" Usagi asked worriedly.
"Perfectly fine," She assured them.
"Minako your acting strange," Usagi told her, "You're usually angry with us for following you."
"Your right of course…but… I'm not,"
"Why not?" Makoto blurted out.
"Well…" Minako stopped waling, almost causing her friends to walk into her, "Its hard to explain but I feel… good. Like nothing can make me angry, not even your spying. Can you understand that?"
Everyone was about to speak, but Usagi beat them to it. Her smile was gentle and understanding, "Yes… yes I can understand Minako,"
Minako smiled appreciatively, before continuing walking.
"Usagi?" Rei whispered questioningly.
"It's fine. Everything's okay. I didn't think it would happen this naturally but everything seems to be falling into place," Usagi murmured under her breath.
"So basically all we have to do is watch?" Makoto asked.
"No," Ami answered, "We have to keep Shinigami's devils away from them. Stop them from ruining it."
Makoto only smiled, "Sounds like fun.
