AN: Well, here it is people. The next chapter! I hope you enjoy this one. Sorry it took a little longer to update this time, though not really that long. I'd lost my inspiration there for a moment. Sigh. And just so everyone knows… I only used two animes in this story. No more than that.
Disclaimer: I do not, can not, and will not ever own Gundam Wing and Yu Yu Hakusho… unfortunately. Sob.
AN: See? Two animes. And as for Sakura and Lily. Lily is ME people. ME. And she's just as moody as me so I'm sorry if there are people out there who think she has constant mood swings and that she's annoying. And Sakura happens to be one of my best friends… But anyway, moving on.

Chapter 10
Duo woke up the next morning, blinking back sleep filled eyes. He was unsure for a moment where he was but then last night came fluttering back to mind. He nearly shot up until he felt Heero shift next to him, still asleep. Blinking, Duo couldn't help but smile. Heero looked so peaceful and almost innocent. Duo brushed a strand of hair off the boy's face.
Heero shifted again and opened his Persian blue eyes at Duo. "Morning. Feeling better?" Heero asked and Duo nodded.
"Thank you." The boy sat up, staring down at Heero. "You didn't have to stay with me last night."
"I did." Heero sat up as well. "I don't think you fully understand yet." Heero smiled. "Any reason to be with you and I'll take it. You will be mine. I promise you I will make you mine."

"Chocolate in mine!" Duo passed the bag of chocolate chips to Lily as she was mixing pancake batter.
"You and your chocolate, baka." Lily made everyone else's pancakes first and with the last batch dumped some chocolate chips into it. Pouring it into the pan she set the rest in the middle of the table. Lily flipped Duo's pancake and when it was done just set it on his plate.
"Yum! Pancakes!" Sakura poured strawberry syrup onto hers and Lily's. Lily sat next to her friend nodding her thanks.
Heero set out cups in front of everyone and poured orange juice into all of them. He then sat down and took one of the pancakes from the middle, pouring just regular syrup onto it. Wufei then took that syrup from Heero.
"What? No coffee this morning?" Duo asked.
"You don't need any," Lily responded. "That chocolate will be enough." She stuck a piece of her pancake into her mouth.
"So, we're heading over to the school today, ne?" Sakura asked and Lily nodded. "Yayness!"
"You'll have some paperwork to fill out." Lily grinned at the only other girl at the table. "I know how you hate paperwork." Sakura blinked then groaned. Lily couldn't help but laugh a little as she finished off her pancake, setting the plate in the sink. "Duo, can you do dishes today?"
"For you Lily, anything." He smiled and hopped up, collecting the rest of the plates and glasses.
Lily grabbed her coat and left the house, followed closely by Sakura, Wufei and Heero. They headed over to the school where Lily introduced them to the headmistress Une. Heero was the first to finish filling out his paperwork, followed by Wufei. Lily sat over with Sakura who just glared at the forms in front of her.
"I don't see the point in this. It's just stupid," Sakura commented as she reached the last bit and signed it. Getting up, she handed it back to Une who nodded.
"I'll see you all first thing tomorrow then in my office," Une had instructed and dismissed the new students.
"See. Now that wasn't too bad," Lily pointed out.
"Speak for yourself," Sakura complained. "If you ask me, they really don't need that much information on a student." Lily only sighed.
"If that's what you think."
"I do."

"We're back. Where's Hiei?" Lily asked as she walked into the house.
"Downstairs with Kurama," Quatre explained.
"Thanks." She walked past the crowd in the living room to the door leading to her room. Heading down the stairs she stopped and smiled at the two boys on the bed. "Hiei, are you ready? We're going out for beds today."
"You and Wufei can go," Hiei explained. "I don't care what kind of bed it is as long as there is one."
Lily blinked then sighed. "If that's what you want." She smiled and waved bye to the two boys, running back up the stairs. She looked at Wufei and simply stated, "It's just me and you." She then turned to Heero. "I don't think you and Duo will have a problem getting the other bed upstairs?"
"We'll be fine."
"Great." Lily took Wufei arm and pulled the boy outside. "Yay! It's just you and me now." Wufei blinked and sighed. Why did he chose Lily of all people to be his best friend? "Wufei?" He looked down at the girl and she pulled away. "You don't look too happy to be spending the day with me." She sighed. "If you want I can just give you the money and you can just go pick out your own bed."
"What?" Wufei stopped. "Lily, if I didn't want to spend time with you I would have just sent you to get a bed or gone by myself."
Lily smiled up at her friend. "I guess you're right."
0000000000
"This bed? You want me to help you move this bed?" Duo sighed.
"Is there a problem?" Heero asked. "Because I can get someone else to help me. Better yet, I can do it by myself." Duo blinked and grabbed the boy's arm as he reached out for the bed.
"I can't have you do that. You could hurt yourself. I didn't say I wouldn't help."
Heero nodded and both boys pulled the mattress of the bed. After pulling the bed apart, they set to carrying all the pieces upstairs. Duo looked around the room.
"So how are we gonna do this?"
"Hm… we can set both beds back against that wall."
Duo nodded and they moved the already set bed back against the wall and started putting the other one together. When they were finished, Duo stepped back, forgetting the box of tools was right behind him. Stumbling right into it, Duo waved his arms around trying to regain balance as he felt himself falling back. Heero instantly stepped forward wrapping his arm around the boy's waist to catch him and pull him back up, only both of the boys fell over. Duo groaned and opened his eyes to stare up Persian blue eyes.
Heero stared down at the boy. This is what he had meant to happen, but he would enjoy it while he can. He felt the boy shift slightly under his weight, and a grin painted Duo's face.
"So, is this another reason to be next to me?"
Heero blinked and suddenly shoved off the boy.
"Heero?" He waved his hand in front of the boy but Heero only looked away. Duo thought that maybe the boy was mad at him, but what Heero didn't want the boy to know was that he had actually been blushing. What was it about the boy that drew Heero to him? Shaking his head, Heero stood.
"Hey, where ya goin'?" Duo asked, following suit.
"For a walk." Heero then left the boy alone in the attic.

"So they'll deliver it by tonight," Lily explained to Hiei. She sat down on the couch and watched as Wufei had headed to his room. Sighing, she threw her head back, staring up at the ceiling.
"Lily? You're back already?"
Lily blinked and looked over to see her brother. Then she grinned. "Perfect!" She jumped up and grabbed her brother's arm. "Let's make a trip, okay?" Heero blinked then nodded, suddenly realizing what his sister had wanted.
"To the orphanage?"
"Hai!" she sang out and pulled Heero along. He quickly grabbed his and her coat before they reached the door. Pulling his arm away from her, he threw her jacket over her shoulders and slipped his on. Slipping into her jacket, Lily then reclaimed her brother's arm.
When they reached the orphanage a nun walked out and greeted the two. "Can I help you?" The nun blinked when she spotted Lily. "Oh, Hino-san. What brings you here today?" Heero rose an eyebrow at his sister, wondering why the nun already knew her.
"Actually I'm here because of my brother, Heero. My family adopted him from this very orphanage, and on his way to meet us, there was an accident. He can't remember anything from before he met us."
"Heero? Oh!" The nun smiled. "Heero Yuy?" She looked at the boy. "It really is you, isn't it?" She took the boy's hand and led the pair inside. "It's been such a long time. When I'd heard about the accident, I wasn't sure if you'd lived through it."
"Sister Kaede, I brought Heero here because I want to help him remember his past. He feels he's forgotten someone important to him. I want to help him, but at the same time I want him to remember on his own."
Kaede smiled and nodded. "I understand. To remember on your own shows how important that memory was to you. If it's someone important that you're trying to remember, I suggest you go down to the field in the back. It's where you used to always play when you were little."
Heero nodded his thanks, and Lily led him to the field. When he they reached the field, Heero felt kind of nostalgic. He sat down on the grass and viewed the field around him. A memory flashed through his mind, but it was too quick for him to see what it was. He lay back, watching the clouds move above him. Lily took that chance to slip away unnoticed.
"Sister Kaede." Lily walked up to the sister and Kaede nodded at the girl.
"What is it child?"
"Heero's important someone…" Lily looked down for a moment but then her eyes flashed back up to Kaede. "It was Duo, wasn't it?"
The nun blinked then smiled. "Yes, my child. It was Duo. You knew this before you came here, didn't you?"
"I had a hunch. I used to come here for the chapel and that's how I met Duo. The orphanage is connected to the church, and Duo was always in there, staring up at that cross." Lily sighed. "When my parents said that they adopted Heero from here I couldn't help but think they were connected. Heero's forgotten someone important from his past, and Duo is searching for that someone important. I don't know why I never saw it before."
"My dear child, God has sent you to guide these two boys. You are their only chance now."
Lily blinked then nodded. "Hai!" She smiled when Heero walked up to them. "Thank you for your help today, Sister. We'll be back another day." Lily once again linked her arm through her brother's and the two set off, this time to gather some groceries for dinner.

Duo lay on his bed, staring up at the ceiling, paying no mind to whoever had walked into the room. He blinked when Heero suddenly appeared staring down at him. Duo jumped up, knocking his head right into Heero's. The boy fell back onto the floor while Duo slammed back down on the bed. Rubbing his head, Heero suddenly shot through his head and Duo jumped up from his spot over to where Heero sat holding his head.
"Heero! Heero, are you okay?" The boy knelt down in front of Heero, observing the boy. Noticing the small bump that was forming on the other boy's head, Duo leaned over, placing soft lips on that wound. Heero blinked, pulling back and staring up into those cobalt eyes. "That should help, ne?" Duo smiled and stood, helping the other boy up.
"You're worried about me, but you're hurt too," Heero pointed out. Duo shrugged.
"I'll live. It's just a small bump. I've had worse." He laughed and sat back down on his bed.
Heero sighed. "Anyway, I just came up to tell you that dinner was ready." Duo blinked then a wide grin spread across his face before he leapt up and flew down the stairs to the kitchen. Heero only smiled, following a little more calmly.
