Chapter 5- Simple Annoyance


Ping Ping Ping!

Duo groaned in frustration and rolled over in bed shoving his head under his pillow, trying to drown out the noise of the alarm.

Ping Ping Ping!

Duo swung his hand towards the desk next to the bed and gave a sigh in relief when he successfully knocked the cloak to the floor. Intent on getting back to sleep he snuggled deeper in to the bed, wrapping himself contently into the down covers.

He growled when a soft knock landed on his door. He stayed quiet and didn't say anything, hoping that the person would loss interest and go away.

"Master Duo? Are you awake...Your friend Mister Quatre is on the Vid. Master Duo?"

Sighing duo flipped the covers from his body. "Just a moment." He yelled as he placed a rob over his half naked body. (id love to see that..drool..)

Swinging open the door, duo was greeted by a violet haired maid. "Good morning, Master Duo. Please, follow me." She said turning to walk down the hall.

"Hey! Wait up, by the way you don't have to call me master, just call me Duo. Calling me master makes me feel old. So what's your name?" Duo asked the now blushing girl.

"I'm Hilde."

"Alright Hildster!! Lead the way!" Duo said cheerfully and swung an arm around the younger teen.

As Duo followed Hilde he took in the house around him. He noticed that the house greatly reflected his host, decorated in warm browns and reds with a kind of Italian old world look, but unlike the host the house offered a sense of warmth and welcome, he liked the feel of the house.

"Hey Duo...Duo?" The maid shook him gently out of his stupor.

"What?" Duo asked franticly, his eyes fell to the Violet hair woman standing next to him.

"Oh yeah...sorry Hilde." He said sheepishly.

"S'kay Duo. We've reached the parlor...the vide phone is on the far wall. I hope you have a nice day Duo! Bye!" Hilde waved and practically skipped down the hall.

Duo laughed at the retreating girl and entered the room. Going straight to the vide, he pushed a large green button and Quatre's face appeared.

"Good Morning Duo!" Quatre said cheerfully, his smile so bright it blinded the braided man. Duo glared at the screen but Quatre was unfazed. "so how was your meeting with Heero?" he asked. Duo stared at the boy sitting in a leather chair billions of miles away as if he had grown another head. "It was great Quatre, were best buddies!" Duo said cheerfully, the sarcasm dripping from his mouth.

Quatre's smile disappeared to be replaced by a small frown. "You didn't...do anything did you?" Quatre asked his friend, knowing how much of a practical joker he could be.

Duo again gaped at the blonde boy incredulously. "Q-man give me a break! I wouldn't joke around with a complete stranger! Especially someone who may as well be called my babysitter!"

Quatre looked remorseful. "Sorry Duo-Chan. I just thought that you would do something like you did when you first met Trowa."

Duo laughed and smiled at Q. "Yeah that was pretty funny. He doesn't hold any grudges...does he?"

Quatre smiled. "No! He was really surprised when that bucket of glue fell on him and a little irked when you dumped the feathers on him, but never mad. Well...he was a little mad when the glue wouldn't come out of his hair and he had to walk around with his hair sticking out at a 45 degree angle."

Duo laughed harder and pulled a leather chair up to the vide screen. "I forgot about that! That was one of the funniest things I had ever seen in my life!"

Quatre smiled warmly at his cousin, it was good to see him laugh. He hadn't seen Duo laugh very often since his mothers death, and when he did laugh it was an empty laugh, a shadow to what could have been there. Quatre's smile faded again when he really remembered why he had called.

"Hey Duo?" Said boy looked up quickly at his cousin at the sound of the seriousness in his once joking voice. "Q-man?"

"Did...did you watch the news last night?" Quatre asked. Duo tugged at his braid wondering where this was leading. "No, Why?"

"Your father..." Quatre was cut of by duos waved hand. "Hes not my father Q." Duo said his voice and face devoid of emotion.

Quatre smiled weakly. "Sorry Duo. Well your fa...I mean Robert Peacecraft has declared that he wants America to join the Sanc kingdom . He also stated that if America refused, he'd take it as a sign that they don't want peace, He also said if that's the case, he'll declare war."

Duo suddenly stud from his chair. "What?! Is he crazy!...don't answer that."

"I know duo, please calm down, there's more." Quatre tried to calm his friend, who was now pacing back and forth in front of the screen. "Sorry Q, go on."

"Well President Triez , of the United States, has flat out refused to be joined with such a pompous power hungry tyrant, his words not mine, and basically says bring it on. Now here's the funny thing, after I watched this I got a call from none other then your half brother Milliardo who says that he and a few of his colleagues are creating a secret rebel group called the Preventors and he wants you to join along with any others that you can persuade." Quatre quickly caught his breath and looked at the now stunned boy.

"You mean to tell me that Zechs ,the man that is not even supposed to know about me, called you so that I can join him? How in the hell...wait, this group Preventors, is it to back up King stick up his ass Peacecraft or America?" Duo asked suspiciously, he would not join anything that would help the father that ignored him all his life then tried to kill him.

"It's a yes to your first question and don't ask me how he knows about you and to the second they support America and Sanc, but not Robert Peacecraft. They found out that hes got some secret army called OZ that hes going to let loss on the world and they are there to stop that." Q explained.

Duo sat back in his chair, twisting his braid in his hands, thinking about the possibilities to get back at his father for the things that he had done.

He looked at the platinum blonde with a look of determination in his eyes. "I'll..."

"We will join." His eyes widened along with his cousins as a third voice filled the room.
