Rouge Angel

By Chikara-Yuy

Okay glad that you guys n' gals liked the last chapter.

Now I am going to introduce the second chap before I get flamed, but first,

Sorry for not updating in so long!

Duo stared at Wufei and Kari.

"I think they might freak."

"I supose the best way would be to tell them straight out," commented Kari.

Wufei turned a rye eye on her. "Have you ever seen how they react to these sort of things?"

"No, but its never to late to find out right?"

Duo sighed. "I think we'd better get to it then."

Duo got up followed by Kari and Wufei. On their way to find the others Kari stopped by a store.

"I'm going to go pick up some Valentine's gifts."

Wufei and Duo stoped and looked at eachother.

"I think we'll go look around too," said Duo.

Duo walked into a different store as Kari walked into the one she had spotted.

Duo noticed as he looked around that it was a jewelry store. He checked out some of the displays and spotted a pretty choker necklace.

"Hello, may I help you?"

Duo looked up at the girl, "Can I see that please?"

"Oh, sure." The girl pulls out a black choker necklace with a cross on it. The cross was gold and a red jewel that looked like a real ruby in the middle of it.

"Can I get it inscripted?"

"Well that would depend, on what you want it to say, how much and what language."

"hmm," said Duo. "what langauges do you offer?"

"Well the basics such as japanese, chinese, german, itallian and russian."

"Itallian."

"what would you like it to say?"

"Ova Maria."

The girl got a confused look.

"It means hail maria."

"Oh," said the girl. "okay, we charge by the letter you know."

"That's okay." said Duo, thinking about the credit card Quatre gave him.

Duo starts Imagining Quatre's reaction.

'YOU WHAT! HOW MUCH FOR WHAT?'

"So when can you have this ready by?" he asked as she filled out the proper forms.

"Well that depends when do you want it?"

"Uh, sometime before Valentine's day, like a day or so?"

"Hmm," said the girl thoughtflully. "I think we could do that."

"Great."

"So should we deliver it or will you be picking it up?"

"deliver it."

"Okay, where?"

"To the Winner mansion."

The clerk wrote down the adress and Duo walked out feeling very pleased with himself.

Next Wufei….

Wufei was walking into an all around different jewelry store and frankly did not know what to look for.

After all he hadn't seen his baby sister in years. 'like what do women like anyway?'

A friendly male store clerk walks up to him. "Hello sir, how may I help you?"

'well you could start by getting out of my face' Wufei thought, but he was to polite to say something like that of course. "Uh, I'm wondering what to get my little sister for Valentine's day."

"Okay how old is she?"

"Uh, seventeen."

"Seventeen? Hmmm," clerk walks around and starts looking at things. "how about this necklace?"

Wufei walks over and looks it.

The choker itself was silver to chains coming from a larger piece in the center which held a black onyx stone. The clasp was in the shape of a dragon. Wufei nodded and said "Perfect. How much is it?"

The clerk rattled off the price and Wufei's eyes widened. "That much for this little thing! You've got to be kidding."

"well, sir this is a handcrafted piece it came all the way from china."

"Hmff. Alright then I'll take it." Wufei pulled out the credit card Quatre gave him.

"very good sir."

"Can you send it to before Valentine's day?"

"Uh, you can take it right now."

"oh, okay can you wrap it?"

"sure."

Wufei picked some wrapping paper and a bow with a little help for color. He then walked out of the store feeling pleased with himself but wondering about the price for that dinky little trinket.

Now to Kari….

Kari walked about the store wondering exactly what to get the guys, her brother and she really didn't know what to get for Duo.

She then walked over to a book aisle in the store. Looking around she saw a latin book of prayer verses for catholics. She smiled at it and picked it up. "alright Duo would love this, now let's see…Wufei!"

She started to look around for something for her brother.

She spotted some dog tag necklaces near by she walked over.

"Hello miss how may I help you?" a flirty blonde guy asked her.

"Jerry, I got this one," said a female clerk noticing the look in Kari's eyes.

"Sorry about that, he sees a pretty face and he loses his head."

"I know the type."

"so can I help you with anything?"

"yes these dog tags, can you get them inscripted?"

"Yes, that's why they're here."

"hmm."

"Got anything inpaticular in mind?"

"yes I do," started Kari. She picked out five. "I would like something inscripted for each one something different on each one."

"Alright write down what you want here and I'll get you what you want." Said the girl as she handed Kari some papers.

End chapter.
