I unfortunately don't own the G-boys; if I did I would be much happier, wallowing in money. But I don't so don't bother suing; I don't have anything, I'm a poor college student people! Unless of course you want a couple blood thirsty dust bunnies....I got plenty of those. Comments are always appreciated....craved actually. REVIEWS!!! I NEED REVIEWS. Uh...sorry....I'm ok now. So please, review; let me know what you liked, what you didn't, the good, the bad and the ugly basically. However flames will be laughed at, so I wouldn't even bother.

Chapter 2:

The air was warm; the sky was clear, it was a beautiful day. However, the agitated Chinese man did not notice the weather as he climbed the steps and strolled into Northwood College. Summer vacation was over; the students were returning to classes; and the Chinese man was looking for someone...

He found her sitting in the lounge with a young blonde man with large aquamarine eyes. "Good morning Wufei," the blonde, said smiling; "It's good to see you."

"Hello Quatre," Wufei said, nodding to his friend, then turning to his companion, a shapely yet tom-boyish woman with short unruly black hair, "hello Hilde; have you heard from Duo since last semester? He didn't come to out to the Lodge this summer, and I haven't been able to reach him at home..."

"He's prolly still with his sister..." Hilde said, as if the fact that Duo had a sister was common knowledge.

"Duo has a sister?" the two men chorused; both equally surprised. They had known Duo for nearly two years now, and neither of them had had any indication that Duo had any family left; they were all under the impression that all of Duo's family was dead.

"He never told you?" Hilde asked, surprised, "Where do you think he goes for the holidays or those times when he had gotten into fights with Heero?"

"We always thought he came to you...." Quatre said.

"Sometimes yes, but mostly he goes to his sister, I think he said her name was Pheles or something..."

"Pheles?" Wufei asked, "What sort of name is that?"

Hilde shrugged, "I think it's a nickname; I don't know what her true name is, he's never mentioned it." The men blinked. Hilde had known Duo for almost seven years; they had gone to high school together, for Duo not to mention something as significiant as his sisters name was strange. Wufei shook his head.

"Why would he go to his sister house then and not come to the Lodge?" Hilde gave him all look, as if he was being dense.

"Because Heero is there..."

"Why would he be avoiding Heero?" Wufei asked he was lost; he had left for a month in the summer to go visit family in China and had then gone directly to the Lodge when he had returned so he could begin working; now it seems everything had gone to hell in a hand basket while he was away. He had begun to worry when Duo never showed up and all the manager could tell him was that Duo couldn't make it down to the beach that year. "I was gone for a month; remember...?"

"Oh right," Hilde said, "How was your trip?"

"Fine...I enjoyed it. I had brought something back for everyone, but I haven't been able to get a hold of the braided baka!"

Hilde's smile vanished, "After exams Heero and Duo kinda...um...broke up."

"Broke up?" Wufei repeated, "Why? They seemed so happy together...what could have happened to make Duo leave Heero? He practically worshipped the fool!"

"He walked in on Heero and....Relena." Quatre said; spiting out the girls name like it was poison. Wufei starred at the blonde, he had never heard such venom in sweet Quatre's voice. Then the implication of what Quatre said sank in.

"Would you run that by me one more time please..." Wufei asked, a cold rage beginning to form in the pit of his stomach.

"Duo walked in on....on Heero and...and...and..." Hilde said; she seemed to have trouble finishing the sentence.

"That braided fool walked in on Heero and me havin a bit of fun..." a voice stated from behind them.

" I beg your pardon..." Wufei asked his voice low and dangerous; the slow coals that had formed at the mention of Heero and Duo fighting burst into full fledged rage.

"Yes, Heero had tried telling the fool that he wasn't interested anymore, but Duo just wouldn't listen..." Relena giggled; behind her a mass of girls giggled too. Wufei slowly began to rise out of his chair, a low growl forming in his throat. Hilde wrapped a strong hand around one of Wufei's biceps; "Calm down Wufei..."

Relena smiled sweetly, "Yes, do keep your mutt leashed, Hilde..." Quatre also put a restraining hand on Wufei's other arm. "Speaking of which, where is your gay lil friend? I haven't heard him yet; is he to embarrassed to show his face?" Wufei's eyes blazed and he strained against the hold his two friends had on him.

"I have never had a problem showing my face, Relena." A cold voice interrupted from the doorway. "You on the other hand might want to stay out of the sun; it looks like you're beginning to develop wrinkles." The three friends starred at Duo; he looked strange. He looked almost dangerous.....

"Why you filthy lil...."

"Ah ah," Duo said walking forward to place a finger to Relena's lips; "Sticks and stones love, sticks and stones..." Relena slapped his hand away and raised her hand to strike him. Duo caught the hand mid-swing; Relena winced in pain.

"Lets make sure we have one thing clear, Miss Relena...I have no love for you and it is only years of practice that are keeping me from seriously hurting you; however as you have pointed out on many occasions. I am no gentlemen. And since I am not, then things like politeness and not hitting ladies does not apply to me. So, I would advise you not to tempt my ire any further then you already have; I guarantee you won't like the results." He released her hand and brushed past her.

"Wait until Milliardo hears of this," she hissed, cradling her wrist "You'll wish you had never been born..."

Duo turned back to Relena, a truly evil smile on his face he opened his arms wide, invitingly; "I already wish I had never been born...you're brother can do nothing to me that has not been done before...so do send your sweet brother Missy, I look forward to our chat." Relena starred at Duo for a moment, then stormed out of the lounge. Normally the threat of her elder brother Milliardo sent her enemies scrambling. Now she really would tell her brother; and he would teach that Maxwell filth his place!

Duo took a chair between Hilde and Wufei and sprawled himself across it. They were all looking at him like he had sprouted another head. He quirked an eyebrow at them, "What? Have I sprouted horns...or a second head even?"

"I don't think I've ever heard you talk like that before. It's like you actually WANT Zech's to come kill you." Wufei stated. Duo grinned; "Can't kill what's already dead mate; besides, I've seen Zech's fight; he ain't so hot."

"Duo I had a martial arts class with him; he packs a powerful punch." Hilde said, "He's sent several people to the hospital for insulting his sister..."

Duo's grin turned decidedly cold and evil; "If he comes after me, I guarantee he'll regret it." The three stopped there. Duo obviously had a death wish; there wasn't anyone, besides possibly Heero and maybe Wufei who could beat Zech in hand-to-hand. Yet something in Duo's eyes made them hold their tongues. Wufei had not known that Duo had a sister till now, so perhaps there was more to Duo then meets the eye; Wufei would reserve judgment for later.

Fifteen minutes later, the group broke up to head to their different classes; Hilde to Biology; Quatre to Psychology, and Duo and Wufei headed to their Mythology class. Together Wufei and Duo walked down the hall; Wufei telling Duo about his trip to China. Suddenly, and for no particular reason, Duo's attention was drawn to a young man walking the opposite direction; Duo caught a glimpse of a single cold green eye behind the curtain of brown hair. A shiver went up Duo's spine; he knew that look. That cold single-mindedness coupled with intelligence, it was the look that many of the greater predators had. The man walked past; his aura lashed out at Duo, seemingly of it's own accord; Duo in turn retaliated automatically. Both turned to glare at the other over their shoulders before continuing down the hall. Duo would have to keep an eye on that one; if he didn't know better he would say that the young man was a Hunter; but that was silly, there hadn't been a Hunter in Northwood in years. But he would have to warn Pheles, just in case...

Can anyone guess who the nameless character is???? Lol, tell me what you think!
