Chapter 6

"Duo? Are you okay?" Lily asked her friend as he walked through the door of the mansion.

"Can you please show me to my room?" Duo asked. He looked back at Heero who had followed him inside. Quickly Duo looked away and back at Lily. "I'm kind of tired. I just wanna relax for a little." Blinking, Lily nodded and brought Duo upstairs to his room. This time Duo made sure to pay attention to his surroundings and remembered the way to his room so he wouldn't have to ask again.

"Are you sure you're okay?" Lily asked again. "Do you need anything?"

"No." He smiled down at her. "Thanks for worrying, but it's not necessary right now." He patted Lily on the head and shut the door, leaving her to stand in the hallway by herself.

Heero walked up to his sister. "Lily?"

"Heero?" Lily turned to her brother. "What did you say to him? What's wrong with him? What did you do?"

Heero was quiet for a moment when he finally said, "I confessed."

Lily blinked and sighed. "Oh Heero." Lily hugged her brother. "I told you he has someone important already."

Heero shook his head. "I will win him."

Lily stared up at him for a moment and then started to laugh. "Is that your new mission?"

"Hai."

"I admire you." Lily smiled. "I could never go after the one I really wanted. I hope you succeed Hee-chan." She placed her hand on Heero's cheek. "I want you to be happy. You deserve to be happy."

She started to walk away when Heero grabbed her arm. "Lily, you deserve to be happy as well."

For a brief moment Lily's face fell, but it was hard to tell because not even a moment later she was smiling again. "Hee-chan, I am happy."

"Yusuke, you're back?" Sakura blinked when the young boy walked past her towards the front door.

"Oh, hey there Sakura." He grinned down at the young girl. "Nice to see you again." He placed his arm over her shoulders pulling her close. "Miss me?" He leaned down close to her face causing her to blush.

"Iye! Baka!" She quickly pushed Yusuke away. "Who could miss you?" She huffed and quickly stomped away. What was it about that boy that always got her so angry? He was obnoxious yes, but half the time he didn't have to be for her to even be angry at him. She really couldn't stand the boy.

Sakura rounded a corner and ran smack dab into Lily, both girls falling back.

"Itai!" Lily shouted out. She opened an eye to see who she had run into. "Sakura?" She opened the other eye and stood. "Ne, what's wrong?" She took Sakura's hand and pulled her up. Lily caught the flushed look on Sakura's face and she smiled. "You ran into Yusuke, ne?"

"Nani?" Sakura's eyes widened and she quickly shook her head. "No, what gives you that idea?"

"Cause you always look the same when you see him. Sakura, if you like him just admit it. Everyone else… well, maybe not Yusuke himself, but everyone else can tell that you like him."

"I do not!" Sakura huffed. "Why would I like that idiot?"

"The same reason I like that pigtailed boy." Lily smiled. "Just because." She poked Sakura on the head. "But then again… that's just between me and you." She winked and skipped off, disappearing into a room that Sakura recognized as the library room. Sakura only smiled.

Duo peeked out his door, making sure that no one was around. He listened as his stomach spoke to him and quickly made his way down the stairs and towards the front door. There he ran into Wufei. He blinked and grinned.

"Hey Wu-man. How ya doin?"

"Hungry?"

"How ever did you know?"

Wufei snorted. "I know you." He motioned his hand in a direction away from the door. "It's cheaper to eat here, ne?" Duo blinked and nodded. "The kitchen is this way." Wufei started to lead the way.

"Why are you being so nice?" Duo asked.

"I can be."

"So I hear you're engaged."

"Who told you that?"

"Heero."

"Did you ask about Lily then? I see no other reason to bring it up."

"I did." Duo looked down. "Wu-man, what do you think of Lily?"

"What do you mean?" The two entered the kitchen and Duo looked around at the chef's. One bowed his head. Duo figured that was the head chef.

"I mean, how do you feel towards Lily?"

"I hold no feelings for the nuisance," Wufei stated, not looking back at Duo.

"Is that true? You two argue, but you take very good care of her. Lily said the two of you are best friends. I think Lily still loves you."

"That's impossible. She's engaged."

"To Kurama. They're a cute couple, but they don't even argue. They're a quiet couple and everything always seems too perfect between them."

"That's because Kurama really does love Lily." Wufei started searching through cabinets. Duo instead turned towards one of the chef's and asked them to cook for him. He turned back to Wufei.

"Are you sure?" Duo sighed. "It just doesn't seem right."

"That's how life is."

"Ah, Hee-chan!" Lily caught up to her brother and grabbed his arm. "I'm hungry. Escort me to the kitchen."

"Hn… Fine. I was headed there anyway."

"Arigatou!" she sang out. "You're the best brother."

"So how exactly did you and Lily meet?" Duo had asked Wufei. The two were still in the kitchen waiting for their food. "I know it was when she lived in China, but that still doesn't explain how you two met."

"She was in a grade under me and she tended to walk the same way home as I did. One day she was being followed by some strange boys because they knew that she was a foreigner and she didn't speak Chinese very well. When they tried to approach her she was frightened and I had to intervene. After that I just always walked her home and she somehow became an attachment."

"You don't seem to mind," Duo stated moving over to see what the chef was cooking.

"I do mind!" Wufei practically shouted. "I hate having her as an attachment. I hate when she's always around. Women are weak. I want nothing to do with…" Wufei tried to move towards Duo but tripped over one chef as he had been trying to walk by. Wufei flew forward into the braided boy and the two found themselves on the floor, Wufei straddling the other boy.

"Wufei?"

The pigtailed boy looked up to spot Lily at the kitchen door, Heero right next to him. The look on Heero's face wasn't a pleasant one. Wufei shoved off the braided boy and rushed over to Lily who was staring down at the ground now, bangs hiding the look on her face. Wufei started to reach out to her, but Lily smacked his hand away finally looking up. She was smiling, but it wasn't her normal smile. Wufei knew this. Which was she mad about? What he'd said or what she'd seen?

"I heard you talking as I was walking here and I'm sorry I'm an attachment. I won't stick around you anymore. But I didn't expect to see you all over Duo." She opened those violet eyes of hers up at Wufei. They were dark. The cheerfulness they usually held was gone. "I don't know what to think anymore." She turned and ran out of the kitchen no longer hungry.

Wufei sighed and looked to his side, completely forgetting that Heero was there. He jumped back as Heero was glaring him. It was that death glare that everyone knew so well. He'd really messed up this time. Heero shoved past Wufei and over to Duo who was dusting himself off.

Heero stopped in front of Duo, the braided boy not even noticing at first. Finally Duo looked up and nearly jumped back at the sight of Heero. Heero grabbed the boy by the shoulders and pulled him forward, placing his lips against the other boy's. Duo blinked, unsure of what to think. Finally Heero pulled back and leaned forward close to Duo's ear. Heero's lips brushed against his ear and he finally spoke.

"I will win your heart. You're mine and no one else's whether you see or it or not. I won't let anyone else have you."

Duo blinked and stepped back in surprise. "EH?"
