Chapter 5

"I don't understand," Lily shouted as she shot at oncoming soldiers. "They shouldn't have known we were coming."

"They've gotten wise." Duo grabbed his partner around the waist and pulled her through the nearest door. Lily reloaded her gun and shot at the soldiers who gathered through the door finally finding the chance to slam it shut and lock it.

Duo slipped a disk into their main computer and started typing something. Lily looked up and spotted an air vent. As Duo was planting the virus Lily took that time to climb on a chair and slam her gun against the vent, forcing it open. She heard Duo pull the disk out as she climbed into the vent, Duo right behind her.

When they finally came to an opening and Lily climbed out, she was surprised to see a soldier standing there, gun pointed right at her. There was a blast and all she saw was black as she felt herself falling back and hit something warm and comforting.

"Shit," came Duo's faded voice. There were more bangs and she felt herself being lifted.

"You let her get hurt?" Lily groaned as she could hear Wufei's voice in the background. "Heero's gonna kill you."

"Not just Heero." There was Kurama's voice. Was she at home?

"Kurama," started Hiei, "he's not worth it."

"I didn't let her get hurt. You think I wanted it to happen?"

"You guys, please calm down," came Quatre's sweet voice and Lily silently thanked him for it. "Lily's waking up, probably due to all your constant yelling."

"It's okay Quatre." Lily sat up, holding her head as it pounded away. She winced as she noticed the burning sensation on her shoulder. It wasn't as bad as she had thought. "Hiei, can you please call Yukina over?" Hiei nodded and left to head to get the kitchen phone and call his sister.

"As for all of you, Duo didn't LET me get shot. It just happened, okay? He couldn't have known. If not for him, I would be dead now. What do you think?" Lily glared up at her fiancé. "Ne, Kurama?"

"Hai," came Kurama's quite voice. "Gomen Lily."

"Daijoubu." Lily watched as Hiei re-entered the room.

"Yukina's on her way."

That night, Yukina, Hiei's sister, appeared and treated Lily's wound. Yukina had wanted to be a doctor and was a nurse at the moment and a nearby hospital. Lily loved having her around. The girl was pleasant and although she didn't talk much, Lily knew that they understood each other just fine.

When Yukina finished, Lily went to join her friends in the living room. "I want to go home," she had explained to them. They all looked at her, surprised that she had just decided such a thing. Lily only shrugged and sat next to Wufei. "You'll escort me home, ne?" Wufei only shrugged.

"I want to go too," chimed Duo. "I want to see your home and meet your family."

Lily smiled and nodded her head. "Okay." She turned to Quatre and Trowa. "You will stay here, ne?" The two boys nodded. She turned her gaze in the direction of Kurama and Hiei and they nodded as well. "Well, it's settled then. Me, Wufei and Duo will leave first thing for Korea."

"Korea?" Duo's eyes widened. "You live in Korea."

"I thought you knew." Lily blinked.

"No, I thought you were from Japan."

"I was born in Japan," Lily explained, "but we moved to Korea."

"What about Korea?" Everyone's attention turned towards the door as a boy with slicked back black hair entered the room.

"Yusuke!" Lily let out a squeal of excitement. "You're back." She ran over, glomping her friend. Kurama and Hiei both just nodded in his direction. "Oh, by the way, me, Duo and Wufei are heading to Korea to visit my family," Lily explained as she pulled away.

"Oh really? Korea huh?" Yusuke placed a hand on Lily's shoulder. "If that's the case…" He smiled down at his friend and Lily blinked staring up at him a little confused. "I'm coming too."

"EH!"

"Home sweet home!" Lily shouted as she ran up to the large mansion ahead of her. "Okaasan! Otousan! Tadaima!" She threw the door open and looked around.

"This is home?" Duo asked. He blinked as he glanced around trying to take in everything. "This is more like a country all in its own."

"I wasn't kidding when I said my family was rich," Lily explained, as she motioned for the maids to take everyone's luggage. Wufei quietly left the group and headed up to his room.

"Where's he going?" Duo asked Lily.

"To his room," Yusuke explained for her. "Speaking of, I miss mine. Yusuke separated from his friends and ran upstairs."

"Wait! He has a room here too?"

"Hai!" Lily chimed. "Everyone does. You see, first it was Wufei. I met him when I decided to live with Sakura's family in China. Her family did a lot of traveling. I was ten when I'd first met him. He actually took very good care of me back then." Lily took Duo's arm and started pulling him upstairs. "He didn't really have a home, so I asked him to come live with us here."

"And he actually came?"

"Of course. You see, Wufei, even though we argue a lot, is my best friend, just as I am his." Lily stopped in front of a door and pushed it open, pulling Duo in with her. "This is your room."

Duo blinked and looked around. This wasn't a room. It was too big for that. He turned back to Lily. "So who was next?"

"Then it was Sakura. She was so tired of her family moving around that she decided she wanted to stay here with me. I saw no problem with it." Lily smiled. "She's like a sister to me."

"But doesn't she have a thing for Heero?"

"No," Lily started. "She used to but not anymore. Now she just likes to tease him, just as I do Wufei."

"But Lily, you really do like Wufei, don't you?"

Lily blinked and smiled. "I don't know what gave you that idea Duo." She quickly left the room leaving Duo by himself.

Sighing, Duo sat down on his bed. He blinked, amazed at how comfortable it was. Lying back, he almost fell asleep but remembered it was still too early for that. He got up, deciding to explore the mansion and maybe learn his way around.

Unfortunately, as Duo was making his way around the mansion, he had lost his way. Looking around he had no idea where he was and there was no one around. "Figures. I knew I'd get lost. What made me think I could wander around and still make my way back?"

"Duo?"

Duo blinked and spun around only to face Heero. "Heero, man am I happy to see you."

"What are you doing here?" Heero demanded.

"Uh… Well see, I came with Lily."

"Lily's here? Where?"

"That's the thing. She just kind of left me by myself, not even bothering to show me around. I thought I could explore a bit and maybe find my way out of this place, but I only ended up getting lost."

"She just left you alone?" Heero rose an eyebrow at the boy. "Why would she do that?"

"I don't know. We were talking and then I mentioned that she really does like Wufei. She got quiet and just left."

"Baka." Heero glared at the braided boy. "Never bring up her feelings for Wufei."

"What do you mean?"

"Wufei is engaged. Has been for nearly all his life now. Wufei has accepted this responsibility. Lily accepts that. Nothing more. Leave it at that." Heero grabbed Duo's arm and started dragging him down the hall.

"Ow, Man. That hurts." Duo yanked his arm away and started rubbing it.

"Sorry." Heero continued walking. Duo sighed and just followed. "So what else were you and Lily talking about."

"She was telling me why the others lived here, but we only got up to Sakura."

"Oh I see." Heero turned around a corner which led to some stairs.

"So who moved in after Sakura?" Duo asked.

"Kurama and Hiei."

"Why did they move in?"

"Hm… Why indeed. I introduced her to Kurama one day. He was in my study group from school. We weren't close, but Lily likes to get to know new people so I figured it would be nice to introduce them. Kurama grew a liking to her, but Lily always stuck close to Wufei. I guess she just needed to get away from him to see Kurama's feelings." They made it down the stairs and Duo could see the entryway. He blinked and turned to Heero.

"You wanted out, ne?"

"Uh… hai."

"Are you hungry? You must have just gotten here not too long ago. You couldn't have eaten yet."

Duo laughed nervously and nodded. "Hai."

"Let's go then. My treat."

"Um… ok." Duo quietly followed the boy out of the large mansion. "So then, after Kurama and Hiei? Was it Yusuke?"

"Hai," Heero simply responded. "Actually he moved in because he was a hired guard for a little while. Eventually he just ended up staying."

"A hired guard?"

"You know he goes on missions, ne?" Heero asked. Duo nodded. "They aren't just normal missions. They're even more complex than our own."

"I see."

"So did Yukina ever live here?"

"Of course. Hiei wasn't about to just let his sister live anywhere. She actually moved in when Hiei and Kurama did."

"Oh I see. Hm. He is a protective brother. Probably more protective than you are with Lily."

"It's because I know that Lily can take care of herself, but that still doesn't stop me from worrying. She is my sister and will always be my sister."

"So I know about Quatre and Trowa though. Didn't they used to have an apartment around here?"

"Yes and eventually they had to evacuate it. Lily wasn't about to let them just live on the streets. Lily's too kind sometimes, but at least I trust those that she has taken in. Sakura knew Quatre and Trowa first. She met them when she lived in England. They were on a mission there."

"I see. So now I know more about everyone. Lily doesn't usually talk about her past. I'm surprised she even started today."

"She's friendly but in truth she's very secretive sometimes. You haven't known her long enough to know her past."

"I guess you're right. Everyone seems to have known each other for a long time. The only one I knew was Wufei. I feel kind of left out when I'm around everyone."

"Don't. I actually don't fit in with Lily's friends. I'm quiet and don't trust anyone. I like to stick by myself. They're the ones who hand out with me. I just go along with everyone because I like to see Lily enjoying herself."

Heero paused for a moment and entered a small quiet restaurant. The pair took seats at a small table. "Duo, this boy you're searching for, what do you know about him?"

"The boy?" Duo blinked and kind of blushed. "Well he was kind and the only one I trusted back then. He was my best friend and possibly my first crush. We promised that we would always be friends."

Heero just stared at the braided boy and Duo didn't know what to say. He started blushing, almost wanting to just get up and run away from him. He was a little creeped out.

"Does it have to be that boy?" Heero asked.

"Na?"
