"Familiar Faces" By: Silver Nights

Chapter 4

Quatre gave his usual friendly smile, his blue eyes beaming with his bleach blonde hair "Hey Duo!" Trowa just gave a small grin with his light brown hair covering most of his face hiding his emerald green like eyes and nodded his head. Duo was so happy to see them, he opened his door more to let his two friends into his apartment. Though the place was a bit messy, but they didn't seem to find.

"I'm surprised you found me" chuckled Duo as he closed the door behind him and walked over to his friends and flopped into his arm chair while his friends sat on his couch.

"Noin told us where you might be, it took us forever to look you up" said Trowa looking over at Duo.

"So Trowa and I decided to see how you were doing since you're not fighting" added Quatre.

Duo turned away and looked up at his ceiling, he didn't want to tell him the strange things that were going on in his life. Him turning into that death like god and feeling connections between some girls he saw the other day. Not to mention a mysterious white cat who came a long. "Things have been pretty good. Not much to do here on earth"

"When do you think you'll go back to the colonies?" asked Trowa.

Duo shrugged his shoulders, "Who knows, I want to go back but as far as I know I'm wanted out there. Ever since Deathscythe got destroyed I feel like a helpless Gundam Pilot because I can't fight without my Gundam. I could steal some mobile dolls but it's nice to have a small break. Until I get the updated version of Deathscythe I'll return to space and the colonies and go back as the God of Death."

Quatre leaned closer, "So that's why you came to Earth?"

Duo nodded, "The people here are pretty nice, haven't made any new friends lately though" Duo paused for a moment and thought about his other friends, "Have you guys heard from Heero or Wufei?"

Quatre shook his head, "Heero is his usual self, not letting people know what's going on with him"

"And Wufei is on his own" budded in Trowa.

Duo laughed a little, "I'm not surprised there, those two are almost the same" Duo then just got a wild idea in his head, he stood up and looked down at his friends, "Since you guys are here how bout I show you around?"

"Well, I don't know.." said Quatre with a unsure look.

"C'mon, I haven't seen you guys in a while, let's go out to eat or something" insisted Duo as he dragged both Trowa and Quatre off of the couch. Duo quickly put on his navy jacket over his white t-shirt and the three Gundam Pilots left the apartment and started to walk out of the building. Meanwhile, near by Usagi was running as usual with Luna following her.

"Rei is going to kill me!" wailed Usagi as she continued to run.

"If you just get up with no problem you wouldn't be late for the meetings!" yelled Luna.

Usagi was too busy to hear what Luna was saying to her. She was running like she was in a marathon race. The poor blonde was panting and panting from running so fast. She didn't know where she was going, that made her bump into a boy just about her age. She fell backwards and so did the boy. They both landed on the cemented sidewalk causing Usagi to be in pain, but that great of pain. Usagi quickly made sure the boy was alright.

"I'm so sorry! Are you alright?" asked Usagi as she leaned close to the boy.

The boy looked up, it was Duo. Usagi quickly blushed and so did Duo. Duo checked out Usagi's outfit, a little navy blue skirt with a light pink top and over it was a pink jacket and she had a purple book bag on her back. But they both quickly got out of their trance. "Hey! You're the guy from the arcade and restaurant!" smiled Usagi as she recognized the face.

Duo smiled, "Yeah that's me"

"Do you live here or something?" asked Usagi as she looked over towards the apartment building.

"Yeah, I was just on my way out with my friends" said Duo as he pulled him and Usagi up off the ground.

"You're friends?" asked Usagi.

Duo nodded. Trowa and Quatre came around the corner, "Duo, I thought you said you didn't make any friends" joked Trowa.

Duo blushed and grunted, "These are my friends Trowa and Quatre"

"Nice to meet you" smiled Quatre

Usagi blushed as she looked at the two good looking guys, the tall boy with the light brown hair covering his face with those shimmering green eyes wearing a dark blue turtle neck and light jeans seemed so mysterious, and the other boy with the platinum blonde hair and blue eyes wearing the lavender shirt and a purple vest over it and kakis with a black belt and boots seemed so friendly and care free to Usagi.

Duo, for some reason felt a little bit jealous that Usagi was admiring his friends, he coughed and looked at Usagi, "And I'm Duo Maxwell".

Usagi quickly looked at Duo with a smile, "And I'm Usagi Tsukino"

"So, where are you going? You seemed to be in a rush" asked Duo.

"Well, I have this very important meeting with my friends at my friend Rei's house so I'm on my way there, how bout you?" asked Usagi.

"Just showing my friends around Tokyo. But we better get going, see you around Usagi!" waved Duo as he turned around and left the blonde hair girl alone.

Usagi watched Duo leave with starry eyes, "You know Luna, there's something about him"

"I agree" replied Luna.

Usagi was in shock that Luna for once didn't care she was day dreaming and getting boy crazy, "What do you mean?"

Before Luna could say anything, there was beeping in Usagi's book bag, she took of her book bag and set it on the ground and opened it to see the Crescent Moon Wand was beeping. "Luna, why is this wand beeping?" asked Usagi.

"That beeping is a reactor to the Seven Rainbow Crystals and they're carriers" said Luna in a serious tone of voice.

Usagi's eyes got big, "You mean.."

Luna nodded, "Duo is one of the Seven Rainbow Crystal carriers".
