Chapter 9
Wufei sighed and looked at the piles of paper work around him again. The fire damage had been superficial and only in some parts of the building which were being finished today. All the fire proof main computer's had been fine, so anything lost had already been scanned and/or saved already ready to be printed off.
"I've got to ask Une for a personal sectary or something to take care of all this!" He said, annoyed and turned to look out his window again at the blue sky and dark clouds coming in over the horizon. 'I wonder if they are a sign…' he mused, going out of character to procrastinate for a while. He'd locked his door so the work pile wouldn't grow at least.
Sitting up a bit suddenly, something told him to be cautious all a sudden, some sixth sense he'd developed during the war and was also part of his Dragon side. He was about to turn the chair around when the door was suddenly kicked in, bouncing back off the wall, while a loud, angry voice shouted at him to get out and piss off, he'd take over.
Wufei froze again, total un-like him, but something in the tone of the voice told him to make peace with his maker while what the words said told him something different. Turning around and standing up, he saw Duo standing in front of him. A trench coat on and a wicked glare in his eyes, he saw the line of destruction behind him, a few people un-conscious with one or two crying females or glaring males.
"Get out Now!" Growled Duo, his eyes almost glowing purple.
Seeing he was on the edge, Wufei nodded grabbed his coat, gun, wallet and stopped by Duo seeing that he was shaking and gritting his teeth. Without hesitating he put a hand on Duo's shoulder, "calm down Duo, there's no Deathscythe anymore to take your temper. Only soft little people, so calm Shinigami back down with some boring paper work."
Duo growled but nodded, his eyes having never left the dark clouds on the horizon. Shaking his head, Wufei left and walked through the path of chaos left by Shinigami. "At least he didn't kill anyone," he muttered as he went down in the elevator and through the lobby, seeing the slowing clearing up remains of Duo's path of terror.
Outside he saw Heero waiting by a rental car, hands in pockets looking around him and at the clouds in the sky. Getting in the car in silence, Wufei made sure they were already in the traffic before he asked Heero what was wrong with Duo.
"I told him that I had to do something with you in China and that he couldn't come."
Wufei froze for a second time that day before sighing and rubbing his face, "I'm lucky to be alive Yuy!" Heero raised an eyebrow in question, eyes never leaving the road as they drove to the airport. "You sent Shinigami in there! Not Duo!"
There was silence in the car and Wufei just sighed before leaning back in the seat and staring out the window. He'd already spotted the bags in the backseat but not moved to say anything as the moody cat by his side just glared out the window.
'Great way to start a trip of self-discovery.' He thought as the country moved past his window. 'What a nice starting omen, Shinigami and a storm on the way.'
That day, four centuries ago another cat was moodily staring out a window a small book in his hand that was light grey while another by his side that was deep blue. 'So full of it, that stupid rat…'
