AN: YAY! Here it is, another chapter. I'm sorry if this one seems short. I was having a bit of writer's block, but I really wanted to write another chapter. I just had that urge to write. I hope you all enjoy it. Please read and review.
Special Thanks to:
Modified Tam: Criticism allowed. I see no problem with it as long as it's not overly done… like some people. Sigh. As for Heero seeming too eager, it's like Lily said. "You've made this you're new mission." Or something like that… can't quite remember. Heh heh. Heero is supposed to seem determined because he knows what he wants and will do whatever to get… I kind of admire that actually, lol. And as for Duo's feelings, you'll come to understand them soon. Thank you for the review though, and I always love opinions. I'm glad you still enjoy this story, and I hope you continue to enjoy it.
Marauder Heir: You and that 'Yayness' baka. LOL. Maybe I shouldn't have put it in the story. It was haunting you, lol.
BloodspillerInulover: Yay! A new reviewer. I'm so happy that you enjoy my story… and I'm sorry about the hyperventilating thing. Heh… I hope you continue to enjoy the story, and please keep reviewing. Nothing wrong with a bit more motivation every know and then. Thank you for reviewing.
Luv to all and thank you to everyone else who is reading this fic!
Chapter 11
Sakura sighed as she threw the remote down on the table. She had been flipping through channels now for the past half hour, unable to find anything that she wanted to watch. She was bored and there was nothing to do today. There was a huge storm outside and everyone had been ordered to remain at home. Closing her eyes, she listened to the rain beat against the house, thunder rumbling right above them. She turned to the kitchen, wondering if Lily was done making dinner yet.
Heero was in the kitchen helping his sister with dinner. Though the girl did love cooking, she had a house full of people to cook for. A little help was okay. Heero was chopping vegetables while Lily was stirring curry, adding different seasonings here and there. Heero moved around his sister and dumped the vegetables into her curry.
"Lily!" Sakura came stumbling into the kitchen, hanging tightly onto her friend. "When will dinner be ready?"
Lily shrugged the girl off, turning around to hand her plates. "Soon. Set the tables." Lily then shoved the girl out of the kitchen. Everything else was done cooking. She was just waiting for the curry to finish. Setting a top on it, she walked out, leaving Heero to watch over it.
Sakura was walking around setting both tables, singing, "Boredness! Boredness! I'm full of boredness!"
"Boredness?" Lily rose an eyebrow at her friend and set the rice pot in the middle of the table.
"Hai! Boredness!"
Lily shook her head.
"What about you?"
"Oom."
"Oom?" Sakura wasn't sure what to make of her friend. "As in moo? Only backwards?"
"Oom." Lily nodded. "Just oom…"
"What's wrong with moo?"
"Oom."
"Oom?"
"Oom woc." Lily smiled. "Oom oom woc! Oom oom woc," she sang to the lullaby theme.
"Are you a dyslexic cow now?"
Lily nodded. "Oom!"
Both girls turned around to find all the boys staring at them. The two girls looked at one another and shrugged, both chiming, "Oom," together.
"That's your sister," Duo pointed to Heero. Heero only sighed. The things he witnessed. The person he was related to.
"Do you two have any ounce of sanity left in you?" Wufei asked. The two girls once again looked at one another and both smiling, they shook their heads. Wufei only sighed. He should have known.
"Ne, Heero!" Duo sang out. "There's this really cool movie playing over at the theatre tonight and I really want to see it. Take me!" the braided boy asked, batting his eyes at Heero.
Heero blinked at the other boy and smirked. "Are you asking me to take you on a date?"
Duo looked taken back for a moment but was soon grinning. "Maybe I am!"
"Alright." Heero nodded. "I'll take you up on that offer." After dinner, Heero ran upstairs to grab his wallet and headed back down, meeting the braided boy at the front door. He grabbed both their jackets, passing Duo's to him and slipping his own on.
"So what's this movie that we're going to go see?" Heero asked.
"The second Naruto movie!" Duo chimed, skipping ahead of the other boy. Heero only smiled. Duo was just too cute. Heero was glad that the other boy could enjoy himself so much. If it got a date with the boy, Heero would go anywhere with him.

Lily sat on the couch flipping through channels. There was nothing on TV and she sighed. Spotting Wufei, she grinned and threw the remote at him. It hit the boy on the arm, and Lily quickly jumped up, dodging the boy's attack and running down to her room.
"Injustice child!" he shouted after her. Growling, he fell back onto the couch. He watched as Quatre walked into the room.
"Where's Lily?" the blonde boy asked.
"Hino is in her room," Wufei explained. He was angrily flipping through channels.
Quatre blinked and nodded, heading down to Lily's room. "Lily, are you down here?" he shouted from the top of stairs.
"Down here Qat!" she called up, and appeared at the bottom of the stairs smiling up at him. "What ya need blondie?"
"Um, Yukina is here."
Lily blinked, confused and was suddenly smiling as she ran up the stairs. The girl was finally here to move in. "Yukina!" Lily glomped the girl. Yukina only smiled sweetly.
"It's good to see you again Lily. I haven't seen you since that time I healed you."
"Come in. Come in." Lily pulled the girl into the house. "I'm so glad you're finally here. It's only for a little while though right?"
"Right!" Yukina smiled. "I'm waiting to get my papers from my boarding school." The girl sounded proud. "So when my lease ended for my apartment I didn't want to start another one. Thank you for letting me stay here for a little while."
"No problem," the girl sang out. "You remember where my room is right? You'll be sharing that room with Sakura. I'm sorry you can't have your own room. Yusuke is the only lucky one."
"Oh no. I don't mind," the girl explained. "I'm just grateful that I have somewhere to stay." Lily blinked when the girl was suddenly blushing. "And at least this way I can be near my brother again." Lily was suddenly laughing.
"What's going on in here?" asked Hiei as he walked into the room. He looked down at his sister and nodded. "Hello Yukina."
"Anyway Yukina," Lily interrupted, pulling the girl along. "Let's get you settled into your new room."

Heero and Duo were heading on their way home. Duo had been quite the whole time, walking ahead of Heero. He wanted to know what was going on in the boy's mind.
"Ne Heero," Duo started, "you're really nice, you know that?"
"Hn," was the boy's only reply. Duo chuckled a little.
"You don't talk much and we're complete opposites, but somehow…" Suddenly the boy ahead of him had stopped and Heero almost ran into him. Stepping back, he looked at the boy questioningly. Duo turned around facing Heero, but staring at the ground. "Heero…" the boy started. He looked up into Heero's eyes. "I want to be with you…" He took a deep breath. "But I'm afraid. What if… What if…?"
"If you find him and you still want to be with him I won't be mad at you…" Heero took a deep breath and stepped towards the boy. Placing a hand on Duo's cheek, he leaned forward kissing the boy. He was happy that the boy was returning that kiss. He finally pulled away, but just barely. He stared back into Duo's eyes, their noses touching. "But can I at least have you for now?"
Duo's eyes filled with tears and wrapped his arms tightly around Heero. "Of course!"
Of course Heero didn't want to lose the boy, but the way he saw it, as long as he got him, even if just for a little while, he was satisfied.
AN: So… what did you think? Did you like it? Don't worry… There's still quite a bit more to this story. But anyways… Please review. Please. Please. Please! Luv to all!
