Chapter 2: The Kangaroo
Duo bounced into the campsite along side Heero.
Literally bounced.
Heero watched his partner, as the braided boy seemed content to simply hop around helping everyone. But he was hopping, not just running around and jumping up behind people.
"Duo can I talk to you for a minute?" Heero asked. He could feel the pull of the Moon on his body but knew that he could hold back on his change until the moon hit it's peak.
"Yeah?" Duo asked as he bounced over.
"Why are you acting so strange?" Heero asked.
"What are you talking about?" Duo asked, not standing still but rocking up on his toes in an almost-hop.
"You're not acting like you normally do. You're," Heero paused for a moment looking for the right word, "Hopping around."
"What?" Duo asked falling deathly still.
"You're hopping all over the place. Even just a moment ago, you wouldn't stand still. You were doing these little almost hopping motions."
"Oh crap," Duo muttered.
"What's wrong?" Heero asked, cocking his head slightly.
"Um, you know how you're a were-creature?" Duo asked.
"Hai."
"Well," Duo paused looking nervous for a moment.
"Well what? Just spit it out, Duo," Heero said in a monotone. However his harsh tone was contradicted by him putting an arm around Duo's shoulders. "It can't be worse than being a were-lemming. Just think about it that way." Heero smiled tentatively at his partner.
"Um, well, you see..." Duo stumbled over the words.
"Shh, just sit with me here for a minute," Heero commanded placing two fingers over Duo's lips. He held Duo close, feeling content with the energetic American close to him. He could literally feel Duo's nervousness. "I promise not to laugh at you."
Duo just shifted nervously. Argh! How can I tell him about that!? Duo wondered silently.
Heero watched his nervous friend, feeling that he could do more to ease Duo's fears of rejection. Trying something he hadn't done in a long time he reached out. (Duo, relax. I'm here for you.)
(What!? How are you doing that? Hey! I can do it too!) Duo replied amazed that he and Heero could communicate telepathically.
(It's as I thought all along.) Heero said smugly.
(Oh, and what's that?) Duo asked curiosity peaked.
(We're soul mates of course. Don't you feel that connection between us?) Heero asked looking into Duo's eyes. (I've felt it from the fist time I met you. But I wasn't sure. So I just treated you the same way I treat everyone. But slowly you melted the ice shell I have around myself.) Heero smiled brilliantly at Duo. A soft and warm smile. (You melted the Ice Prince, Heero Yuy.)
Duo grinned at Heero. (I felt it too!)
(Really? The first time we met you shot me.) Heero replied, sounding amused.
(Just because I thought you were going to kill some innocent girl doesn't mean that I didn't feel a connection to you.)
(Sometimes I wish you had let me shoot her. She's caused so many problems for us. Oz has found us more than once because she decided to blow my cover and confess her love for me.) Heero scowled at the memory.
(Yeah, but at least I did rescue you from that stupid hospital where they didn't even bandage your wounds!)
(I know and thank you for that. I never got a chance to thank you for saving me that day.)
(You could have gotten out on you own you know.)
(But it's the thought that counts. Besides I got you back by setting my own leg in front of you.) Heero gave a small chuckle at Duo's shudder. Quatre, Trowa and Wufei all turned to look at the two in confusion.
"It's nothin'!" Duo said cheerfully. (Well, I guess I should tell you before the moon is full.)
(So, what are you?)
(I'm a were-kangaroo.) Duo winced, waiting for the laughter.
(That explains a lot.) Heero said simply. (You're always bouncing around. It makes perfect sense now. It's part of your nature. Just like self-destructing a Gundam doesn't bother me. It's just a part of our animalistic nature.)
(Wow. I've just realized something. You're way more talkative like this than you are normally.)
(That's because it's easier for me to express myself.)
(So, do you think the others are like us? Not a lemming and a kangaroo but other animals?) Duo asked curious as he snuggled up to Heero.
(Probably.)
"Hey, Duo, Heero, we need to talk," Quatre said walking over to the pair with a worried look on his face.
"Alright, there are things that we also need to discuss with the rest of the group," Heero replied.
"Hey are they coming?" a new voice called.
"Yes!" Quatre called back. "Well, there's a lot to discuss."
"I can see that," Duo said with a grin. He bounced off with Heero to talk to the others feeling as though a weight had been lifted from his shoulders.
