Chapter 4- Mars the god of war...


One long and uncomfortable plane ride later, Duo stood out side one of the biggest homes he had ever seen in his life. It reminded him of a roman coliseum, with great pristine white pillars and elegantly sweeping arches.

It was a home of dreams, but the human being standing on the front step was a thing of nightmares.

Duo watched Heero descend, a scowl that seemed as if it had always taken root on the mans face more evident as he got closer. 'Ah what a pleasant fellow.' Duo thought sarcastically.

It wasn't that Heero was bad looking or ugly, on the contrary he was a thing of beauty, a roman god to match his humble home, the reason in fact for disliking the man before him was because he, Duo Maxwell, was given into the care of this man like a child reluctantly given to its nanny.

It was overall very degrading!

"Well it seems Mr. Maxwell that you love my home. Or is it that you don't want to stop staring at it for fear of looking at me?" Heero's husky voice filled Duos brain and it took him a while to gain his baring

"Just admiring the architecture." He replied nonchalantly.

"Come now, Mr. Maxwell, I won't bite." Heero's amusement was evident.

Turning from the white fortress, Duo faced his Body Guard. "Lets drop the formalities why don't we? I'm Duo your Heero. And I have no reason what so ever to enjoy my stay here or to enjoy your company. So why don't we just step into this castle that you have built your self and you can show me to my rooms?"

Heero stared at Duo, then quite suddenly burst in to a fit of laughter, a rich full laughter that Duo enjoyed immensely hearing, although he would never admit it to himself. "With all of my heart Duo, I would like nothing better for you to step into my humble abode." Heero gestured extravagantly, a smirk playing about his lips.

Grabbing his bags from the limo driver Duo swiftly walked past Heero and into the awaiting home.

Walking in to the grand foyer Duo could do nothing but stare, He turned astonished eyes to the man behind him.

"Why? Why be a crime lord when you have all of this?" Duo asked arms out to his sides indicating the tastefully and exquisitely decorated hallway.

Duo shuddered as Heero's smile fell and a dark cloud seemed to hover above the slightly taller man. "If I were you Mr. Maxwell, I would keep my nose in my own business." Heero said coldly, leaving Duo dumbstruck.

Turning to leave Heero gestured up the stairs. "Your room is up the stairs and 3 doors on the left, if you have any problems my suite is at the end of the hall. Now if you will excuse me," Duo watched mouth agape as Heero disappeared from the hall.

Taking a deep breath, Duo grabbed his bags from the floor and started up the stairs. "This is going to be a hell of a long couple of months." He muttered.


So Duo meets Heero, sparks fly, but Duo seems to be attracted to Heero. Whys Heero a Crime Lord? I know you all are wondering and I soooo want to tell you but, I got to let the story unfold on its own!!!! Luv all my readers!!!! Phoenix ;D
