A/N: Thanks for reading and esp. the lovely reviewers Mikito (I don't know. But if he is and Duo finds out someone is going to have a one-way ticket to hell.), Eri (Yeah, 'course.), Sakura123 (I don't know but I guess it's just the fault of the bad hetero fiction I read. I started out with the SPxWC pairing which is great but hard to find. But all the RPxHY and DMxHS stories were simply so mushy and boring. Sorry but for me it all depends on the author. If I like his style and how he describes his characters I go for it. Oh btw I don't like yaoi. I like only shonen ai. If that's a difference for you. Btw I hate it too when there are gross pairings who weren't annonced prior. TKxWC. Ewww! Girl, you're so funny. I mean I don't even know what's gonna happen when Kenji will be Heero again. Anyway my goal is it to get them to the level of friendship. Though with Duo already that pissy with everything concerning Yuy I don't know how I'll gotta characterize Heero…), Hikaru (I'm going to write a x-mas story with the 1x2x1 pairing. It's gonna be a get-to-gether. Feat. Also Sally&Wuffers as well as Solo and Meiran. I just don't know when to write the thing.), Akennea (Thx for your constant reviews. You really make me happy!), Curious Dream Weaver (Yes, I love Wuffers. He can be in all kinds of moods. Just depends who is around him. I mean usually Duo is the one defreezing the people with his careless manner.) 

Chapter 11: Tricked

« Hey guys, were are you hiding ?! »

Duo yelled into the house as soon he was inside.

No answer.

« Common Q-man, that's not funny. Come and do your job. I already did it all morning and half of the afternoon. You owe me big time !!!! »

Duo shrugged of his soaking wet coat and his drenched boots dripping water everywhere.

« Geez, what kind material is that ? I'm wet onto the skin. Geez, even my underwear. Ewww! What I need now is a hot bath. »

The braided pilot staggered out of the tiny room for their coats and boots into the living room. The drenched pilot tiptoed over the carpet but since his socks were wet as well he left spots all over the carpet. Behind him he could hear Wu Fei and Kenji entering.

Duo had dropped the latter one at the entrance waking the kid up rather rudely. He scanned the kitchen for any human being.

No one there, no noise upstairs. They were either sleeping what was rather unlikely since they were complaining about needing time for their mission or – his eyes dropped on a piece of paper on the kitchen counter –

"%#&@*FUCKING HELL!!! WU FEI, GET OVER HERE ASAP!!!!!!" Said teen flew over the carpet and stood less than five seconds with his katana drawn in the kitchen. With his wet hair plastered to his face and his wild gaze Wu Fei definitely looked scary but Duo was too upset to care.

"DO YOU SEE THIS???" Duo showed him the piece of paper into his face.

"Damn Maxwell, what's the matter? I thought we were invaded or Quatre burnt down the kitchen. And would you take that freaking paper out of MY face?" Wu Fei slammed annoyed his katana on the kitchen counter almost mutilating Duo's braid who had been drapped over it.

"Gah, watch it Fei." Duo glowered at his compagnion who was now scanning the paper.

"This is a joke is it? I mean they can't do that. They …they LIED. THIS IS INJUSTICE." Wu Fei ripped the paper apart furious.

Duo shook his fist. "I TOLD YOU SO." He was back in tirade mode. "THEY FREAKING LEFT US WITH THAT BRAT AT THE FIRST POSSIBLE OPPORTUNITY."

Wu Fei nodded. "I'm disappointed. I would have expected more honor from Barton and especially Winner. At first he develops that fine plan of his and suddenly they part for their mission a whole week earlier. It's all so obvious."

Duo nodded vigorously. "Of course, they didn't like the idea of taking care of Yuy either."

Wu Fei rolled his eyes at him. "Sure, that's all they thought about."

Duo prefered to not notice the sarcastic hint in his voice and pointing into the direction of the entrance room where said unwanted case probably still was and said.

"Face it Wu. We're stuck with him. They left us in the middle of the battle. There's no way we can back out of it."

"You're right. It is honorless to leave Yuy in such a helpless condition."

Duo shrugged. "Well, I could care less about Yuy but Shinigami is no one to back down from a battle."

"Well Shinigami." Said the dripping wet dragon to the totally soaked god of death. "If you're so eager than I let you go first."

Wu Fei bowed, grabbed his katana and stormed up the stairs and yelled over his shoulder. "The shower is mine."

Duo stared dumbly after Wu Fei. After a second it registered in his mind.

"WHAT???!!! GET BACK HERE. YOU CAN'T DO THAT. MY HAIR IS MUCH LONGER THAN YOURS!!!"

But to no avail Wu Fei had already barricaded himself in the bathroom upstairs.

'Great. Now I have to use the tub. I hate washing my hair in the tub.'

Duo groaned thinking about the torture of bowing for twenty minutes over the tub. 'And by the way where is the source for all my inconvieninces anyway?'

Intend for going to look for Kenji he turned around to the living room but stopped dead. Kenji was standing like a lost puppy soaking wet at the entrance to the kitchen.

'Aw shit, how long does he stand there already? I don't even know how much he understands from our conversations.' Duo frowned in thought. Kenji had been proven to be very bright and he picked up very quickly. The child had uttered his first english words on the way back home but usually one learned to understand before speaking.

The Deathscythe pilot sighed. The kid looked definitely like it had heard or seen too much.

'Damn. Sorry kiddo it wasn't my intention to let you hear that.' He hadn't even spend 24 hours with the boy but right now he felt guilty about something he cared a shit about a couple of hours ago. He had to pay attention, the kid was really getting under his skin.

Duo had been staring at Kenji for quite a while and Kenji stood there unmoving except the shivering staring back at Duo. The loudmouthed Deathscythe pilot didn't know what to say. He heard the shower running upstairs and wished Wu Fei could pop up next to him and take over. But he had said Shinigami never backed down from a battle and damn if he would do it now.

The soaked teen opened his mouth but before he could say something Kenji interrupted him with a loud. "Haaatschi."

"Bless you." Came the automatic reply.

"Arigatou." Said Kenji timidly and smiled.

"So you do understand us pretty well already. Well, you're Japanese I read once there are mothers who let there unborn babies listen to English vocabulary. It's crazy if you ask me. But knowing to whom you're gonna grow up to… Nothings crazy enough for Heero Yuy."

Duo gave Kenji a loopsided grin and turned to go up the stairs. He was already at the steps as he turned back to Kenji.

"So are you coming or what? Wuffers decided I'm stuck with you and I guess we'll just both have to live with it. I mean a certain blonde can be very uncomfortable to be around if something doesn't go as he wishes for example me letting you catch a cold and you ruining his carpet with dripping all over it with mud and water. So what will it be?"

Duo Maxwell raised an eyebrow at Kenji who was still standing at the kitchen entrance. Kenji looked a bit uncertain for a minute but then decided that today nothing could get worse and joined Duo on the stairs.

"Thought so." Duo grumbled.

Ignoring Kenji's outstretched hand he stomped up the stairs.

"You're kidding. This holding hand thing was A-ONE-TIME-THING. Meaning it had a cause and I don't think you'll get lost climbing up the stairs behind me."

With that he vanished in his room fuming about obsessed little brats.

Sorry about the chapter being so short and well a bit plotless but I didn't had the time to write the rest. So I'll cut it in pieces. Hope you don't mind.
