Chp 7
"WOW" Duo said looking out the rolled up window as they pulled into the pet shops parking lot. Heero had of coursed rolled up all the windows and locked them when he had gotten pulled over for Duo hanging half way out his window, Quatre was given the task of keeping Duo sitting and in a seat belt. "It's huge." He said.
"How did you know this was here, I didn't even know this was here, and we've lived her for almost five years." Heero said, looking at the three story, Cat-o-Manic, store, or well palace really, with disdain.
"Trowa comes here to buy things for the lions." Quatre said laughing. Heero sighed, he had forgotten that Trowa and Quatre had lions as guard dogs, yes guard dogs. No one snuck onto Quatre's property, and the Preventors had quiet some work to do the first time when someone had. Heero smiled at the thought and got out of the car, opening the door for Duo and Quatre.
Heero walked behind them and Quatre and Duo took off almost running towards the door. Heero sighed and shoved his hands in his pocket, watching the two disappear into the large building. Once Heero was in a gust a cool air met him and his eyes adjusted quickly.
Quatre and Duo were waiting for him just in side. They walked passed the food section, of course Duo would be eating human food. Sick o's. Heero was surprised about the place, it was literally a cat heaven. Heero looked at Duo and laughed a bit. And Duo was there god. Duo was currently being fallowed by any cat that was on the first level of the story, and Heero had no doubt that if there where more cats in the building they would find Duo.
The place was lined in carpet from the floor to the walls, and there was proof that cats had been clawing at him. There were shelves of stuff that Heero had never even seen before, sure he had seen cat housed and those little obstacles, but he had never seen some that where from the floor to the freaking roof, and as long as ten or twelve feet.
But Quatre and Duo skipped this section and where headed to the escalators to go to the second floor. Once there Heero noticed that this section wasn't for house cats, this was for larger cats. He looked around, noticing that he had lost the other two in a blink of his eyes.
"Heero." Duo said jumping in front of him.
"Yeah." He said his heart pounding, though it wouldn't look like it if you saw him.
"Can I have this?" Duo asked, holding up a black and silver collar with silver wings engraved on it.
"Why do you what a collar Duo?" Heero asked.
"Because this one was from G, but now I'm with you." Duo said. Pulling down his shirt to show Heero the thin metal collar. "Unless you have a shock collar you want to use." He said, his eyes covered by his hair. Heero literally jumped this time. He fingered the collar.
"This is a shock collar?" Duo nodded. Heero unclipped the back and showed it to Duo. Duo looked at it and his eyes widened when Heero crushed it in his hand.
"You don't need a collar…you don't belong to anyone." Heero said. He didn't expect Duo's face to fall like it did.
"So…I'm an orphan now?" Duo asked. Heero thought about what he had said. He hadn't said that.
"No, Duo you're almost twenty one." Duo looked at Heero.
"Age doesn't matter I don't have an owner, I thought I was going home with you." Duo said.
"You are." Duo looked at Heero with confusion and walked away. He needed to think. Quatre came up behind Heero and put a hand on his shoulder.
"Heero you have to remember that he thinks he's got a similar mind frame to a cat now." He said. "He needs an owner and a home, you now, like a pet."
"But he's still human." Heero said. Quatre shook his head and walked after Duo. Heero looked down at his hand and found the crushed collar in one and the thin black and silver one in the other. Heero sighed. Well if he was going to 'own' Duo then he wasn't going to use any methods that G had used. He tossed the metal collar away and went after the two.
"What do you think this is a sex shop." The elderly woman said approaching them. Heero glared at her and Quatre blushed slightly. Duo on the other hand smiled.
"No." He said simply.
"Look, just because you and you're boyfriends are into dressing like animals doesn't make you one." She said.
"Whose playing dress up." Quatre said with a raised eye brow.
"This young man, look at this, walking around in public with that tail and those ears. You should leave the costumes to the bedrooms." The women said.
"But these are not a costume." Duo said, looking a little confused.
"Young man don't lie to me." The woman said. Duo moved his tail in a fidgeting manor and the old women nearly had a heart attack. Heero had to stop himself from laughing. The woman deserved it. Duo pinned his ears back.
"I'm sorry if I offended you maam." Duo said, still a little confused about the entire thing.
"I-I." The woman tried.
"it's okay maam, you didn't know." Quatre said and pulled Duo and Heero away from the woman. Duo perked up when he saw the toys. Heero watched as they bounced around playing with the toys. He snuck off and found himself in the pillow section. His eye twitched, a whole freaking floor, for pillows and beds, who would have guessed.
He walked around for a bit and found a section on the floor dedicated to stuffed animals. Heero guessed that they were meant to sleep on because a lot of them were flat and wide. A few even squeaked when squeezed. His eyes fell on a little panda bear with purple beads for eyes. He smiled and decided that he would get it for Duo. He grabbed the bear. He went and paid for the bear and the collar before going to find Duo and Quatre.
He turned around an isle a froze, Duo was sitting in the middle of the isle alone looking at a small cat. He was petting it and whispering to it lovingly. Heero smiled for the first time in a long time, this smile was truly happy. Duo looked so cute sitting there with that kitten, his own cat eats perked up, and his tail flick playfully.
"Are we going?" Duo asked, looking up at Heero.
"Only if you're ready." Heero said.
"Yeah I'm ready to…leave." Duo said. He wanted to say go home, but he didn't know if Heero's house was going to be his home any more.
"Duo." Heero said, sitting down next to him. "Here." He said handling Duo the collar. Duo took it and looked at Heero and smiled.
"Thank you." He said and hugged Heero. Heero smiled and hugged him back. 'take that Quatre.' he thought.
Heero had a hard time fitting everything into the back of his car. Quatre had insisted on buying Duo almost every single toy in the damn store and several different blankets and pillows. Telling Heero that cats loved to take naps and had a tendency of being lazy. Heero glanced at Duo and found the hyper boy playing keep away from Quatre with the keys and sighed. Then how come Duo wasn't being lazy now. Though he didn't really mind. After missing Duo for a year and a half he found that he enjoyed this a lot more then he would have admitted too before Duo's disappearance.
