"No shit Sherlock." I replied. I didn't have time for Captain Obvious. My kid was missing and there was hell to pay. I made my way out of the crowded room. I was not in the mood to rub elbows with these people. I took a deep breath once I had made it to the hallway.
"You ok?" I turned around and I was staring at Trowa. Thank god he followed me and not Heero. I would have punched him.
"I'm fine. I talked to Sally and it seems that Qwan was kidnapped as well. Sally's calling Une to tell her that I'm alive and all that bullshit. I want on this case." I said as I leaned against the wall.
"Are you sure it's a good idea to call Une?" Trowa asked as he crossed his arms.
"If I don't and we get in her way, she would want answers. Trust me its better this way. If Une knows ahead of time, then she won't have our asses. I just want to know why someone would want the kids of the gundam pilots."
"There are thousand of reasons Duo, you know that." He said as he shifted his weight onto his left foot.
"What did Q-bean want?"
"He wanted to rekindle things."
"And?" I asked with a raised eyebrow.
Trowa shrugged his shoulders. "I have no clue."
"That tells me a lot Tro-man."
"You're welcome Duo. You ready to go home?" He asked with hope in his voice.
"We may as well. There's no reason to stay here." I huffed.
As we started to walk I could tell someone was following us. I knew who the stalkers were. It didn't take a genius to figure it out. I looked over at Trowa and nodded my head. He just shrugged in return. I guess we let the nut jobs follow us home. That was real nice. I sighed; this was getting on my nerves. I hope Heero didn't think he could just waltz his way back into my life.
The good about the cocktail party was the fact that it was close to where we lived. It was within walking distance. The air helped me keep my cool and keep Shinigami under control. I'm sure Lady Une wouldn't want to pick up tiny bits of what would have been a human at one time.
It didn't take us long to get to the house. As Trowa opened the door I followed the movements of our 'stalkers'. I swear you would think they would learn by now that they can't sneak up on me and Trowa. Our skills have been with us since we were kids. They became essential for our survival.
I followed Trowa into the house and slammed the door behind me. I wanted to let them know that I knew they were there and that they were not welcome. When the house was on lock down, no one could get in. Trowa and I tested it out several times, giving it our best…and it kicked our ass.
Trowa was sitting on the couch when I entered the living room. He had his head resting on the back of it. His eyes were closed and he looked peaceful. Well he would have if it wasn't for the small frown on his lips.
I sat down beside him. I remained quiet and would wait for him to say the first word. This is how it normally went when he was like this. It was a routine we went through every once in awhile. I figured that since Quatre showed his face, Trowa would go through it.
Trowa let out a controlled breath and opened his eyes. "Why did he decide to show up now? I mean he knew where I was for all these years."
I shrugged. "I don't know what to tell you Tro-man. I mean, maybe he's lonely now. And you are too. You two need each other."
Trowa shot up. "What about you? You just can't live here by yourself."
I shook my head. "I can. It doesn't really matter. I mean Helen thinks that you're her father. I catch her all the time trying to say it. Trowa you need some love in your life."
"I have it here Duo. I'm needed here. I don't love Quatre anymore."
"Wha…you don't mean that!" I sputtered.
"Yes I do Duo. I love you." Trowa said as he leaned toward me, his mouth aiming for mine.
Sorry about the delay guys, but I was having some freaky problems with the computer and ff wouldn't load new chapters. But now it's working. Ok…now is the time to vote. WHO should Duo end up with? Trowa or Heero? Or do you want to see her with someone else? Review, review, review, and I may update again THIS week instead of next.
