Chapter 3
The sun had yet to rise when Duo and Wufei finally got back home from their mission after three weeks.
"finally home! I'm going to take a hot bath and then I think I'll sleep the rest of the day; but first let's eat!" Wufei said showing once more that after four years he too was finally loosening up and becoming the teenager they all actually should have been. We're finally catching up on childhood as Duo once laughingly said when people stared at them just hanging out and fooling around in the park.
"Sounds like a nice plan, I'm gonna check on Neko first though." Duo said with a yawn before walking up the stairs.
"I'll make us both something to eat while you do that." Wufei told him as he set to work on the food. Meanwhile Duo walked to Neko's room and looked in. Empty, he shrugged and made his way to Heero's part of the mansion and checked Heero's room which was also empty. Raising an eyebrow he ran back down the stairs.
"They're not home, the car's still here though and so is Heero's motorcycle!" he yelled as he went around back to check whether they were in the garden and checked the garage before walking back into the mansion and meeting Wufei in the kitchen.
"There are no notes, so they have to be around here somewhere. Heero isn't the type to forget to leave a message for us." Wufei said as he put two plates on the table before returning to their food. Duo sighed and sat down.
"I'm going to check the house again." Duo said getting up and leaving the plate of food Wufei had set before him. Wufei nodded and they went to check every room in the house. Then a loud noise made them turn around and rush back to Heero's part of the mansion. On their way they heard laughter and slowed down some.
"Is…is that Heero?" Duo asked confused. Wufei said nothing; he just shrugged and headed towards Heero's shower where the laughter seemed to come from. The door was half opened and they looked in. Only to look at each other before turning to look at what was being displayed before them.
sometime earlier
"Ugh what the?" Heero muttered as he was awoken by a nasty smell. He sat up and found Neko covered in mud standing by his bed.
"Heeo come play with me?" Neko asked cutely staring at him. Raising an eyebrow he took the girl and went downstairs only to find that he had forgotten to close the kitchen window and everything was covered in muddy foot prints coming from outside.
"What a mess. I guess we'll have to clean this up a bit. But first let's put you in the shower." Heero said smiling at the muddy cat girl before picking her up and moving to the bathroom.
"There, now stay here and keep an eye on the bathtub for me okay? Call me when the water reaches the fish!" Heero told the cat girl who nodded her head and set to watch the water rise. Duo had bought a fish shaped soap dispenser for Neko to play with in the bathtub; but Heero found it very useful for other reasons. Neko loved to help them with stuff, they had recently found out and the soap dispenser was a useful toy for Neko to know when her bath was filled properly.
After he left Neko to look after the tub; Heero set out to clean the kitchen and closed the window. Once done he returned to the shower and found Neko about to call for him.
"Heeo read minds!" the little cat girl giggled. Heero shook his head and smiled.
"Let's get you cleaned up Missy." Heero said smiling while putting the little child into the tub.
"You too!" Neko squealed happily pointing at him. Heero turned around to look in the mirror and noticed he had mud on his face and on his arms form cleaning up the mess.
"Yes me too. But you first." Heero said as he pressed the soap dispenser while holding the washing glove under it. Neko looked like she was thinking about something very serious.
"Uncle Heeo?" she finally asked shyly.
"Yes?" Heero asked calmly.
"Daddy Duo always takes a bath with me when we is both dirty." Neko said looking at him.
"Is that so? Would you like us to take a bath together too?" Heero asked the little girl. Neko smiled brightly and nodded her small head causing the mud on it to fly in all directions.
"Whoa! Hey! Stop that!" Heero said laughingly as he too undressed and got into the tub with the little child.
back to the here and now!
The door was half opened and they looked in. Only to look at each other before turning to look at what was being displayed before them. the ex-pilot of wing was sitting in the bathtub with the little cat girl and they were playing around splashing each other while laughing happily. Duo and Wufei stared at the two with open mouth. Finally it was Neko who noticed the two.
"DADDY!" she chirred happily as she scrambled out of the bathtub and into the braided boy's arms.
"I missed you daddy! Uncle Heeo an I had much fun daddy! we went see Miss Lena and Mista and then I got uh oh so's uncle Heeo take me see miss Sally. She say my cwothes gimme uh oh an now I got smelly thingy to put on uh oh an is almost gone! An I played in tha mud! Uncle Heeo's takin' bath with me!" Neko said happily as she recounted the adventures from while Duo'd been away.
"Well it sounds like you had tons of fun! Why don't you finish up your bath and we'll see you when you're done huh? Daddy and Fei are very hungry and are gonna eat now, okay?" Duo said playfully to the little girl as he ruffled her hair before putting her back in the tub and leaving the shower.
"Hey Wufei? Is there any chance at me hiring you as my personal cook?" Duo asked jokingly when they finished eating. Wufei smiled at this.
"Nope, you couldn't pay me enough to do so." he said before putting the dishes away.
"Hey, I may have grown up on the streets but that don't mean I'm poor!" Duo said fake hurt.
"I'm not saying that. I'm saying that all the money in the world wouldn't get me to be someone's personal cook. I like my current job very much and I'm not giving it up. But if you ask nicely I might cook for you some time." Wufei said smiling.
"Aww that's so nice of you man." Duo said smiling too.
"Daddy!" Neko said happily as she ran into the kitchen. Followed by Heero; who was drying his hair as he walked in.
"I see things went fine while I was gone." Duo said happily as he watched Neko dig into the food Wufei put before her.
"Yup, here's the ointment. Three times a day on the rash. We went shopping for new clothes for her, all natural fibres on Sal's orders." Heero said simply before accepting the plate of food Wufei put before him.
"Une asked me to tell you, you have a mission next week and have to report to her tomorrow morning." Duo said as he set to clean his empty plate.
"Thanks I'll be there early." Heero said smiling at Neko who looked a little sad.
"I see you and Neko also worked on her speech some more." Wufei said ruffling the little child's hair.
"Yeah, I talked about it with Quatre and he agreed that I should teach her while he's out for busyness and he's glad with her progress." Heero said looking at Neko.
"Oh by the way Lena says if you ever need someone to baby-sit Neko she's available." Heero said looking at Duo while saying this.
"Got it. Thanks man." Duo said happily as he went to the livingroom with Neko to catch up.
"Well it seems she had some influence on you too. I haven't seen you play around like that before." Wufei said with a low chuckle.
"I find it very hard to let my guard down. Even when Neko and I played in the tub today I noticed everything. I'm working on that but it's very hard to just let my guard down. I can't seem to tell myself there's nothing to keep my guard up for. I mean I know there isn't anything I should keep my guard up for; but I still do it." Heero said calmly looking out the window.
"I know my friend, we all do. Our minds are still stuck in the war; but I think having Neko around is helping us getting our minds out of that war. She has a positive influence on all of us. Especially on Duo. We discussed her schooling during the mission. He's going to home school her and eventually send her to school. I've never seen him this serious about something. He really wants to adopt Neko." Wufei said as they cleaned the used kitchenware together.
"She's a great kid. She can make you laugh whether you want to or not." Heero said smiling gently as he watched the cat girl and his best friend playing in the garden.
another one down! let me know what you think people!
