-1Chapter 19
They were all sitting in the main living room again, this time Duo was on the inside looking out while sulking massively. Not only had be been caught while being somewhere he wasn't supposed to be, but he'd been caught on a mission and worse yet! By a young girl who had then proceed to beat the crap out of him while he couldn't defend himself. It wasn't the war and he wasn't going to hurt a young girl, you get in trouble for stuff like that now.
He wasn't quiet sure why Heero and Wufei were here and what they had found, and he didn't think the host knew either to be honest as he was sitting there staring at Heero like he had two heads and six eyes. The girl on the other hand kept poking Wufei, who was trying to sit further and further away from her on a two seated couch and looking very worriedly from her to Heero.
The silence in the room continued until he looked around, mild boredom over taking his embracement.
"Anyone want a drink?" He asked suddenly, breaking the quiet. With a huge grin he jumped up and made to move to the kitchen but Heero grabbed him on his way past and he dropped into the seat next to him, quiet again this time only mildly sulking -he knew Heero wouldn't tell him off in front of everyone, he would keep it privet but knowing it was going to happen was just as bad.
If he had had a tail, it would have been between his legs.
"So, who are you two again?" Asked the man sitting there in his robe looking a little less at Heero and at the others. "I mean, I have an idea who you are, but I don't know your name or anything else."
Heero looked at him instead of the quietly sulking partner by his side, "my name is Heero Yuy, Preventers agent First Class, and I've come looking for you. These are my colleagues, Wufei Chang and Duo Maxwell, also Preventers agents, First Class."
The man pales slightly and Wufei thought he was going to faint again, but he steadied himself, and opened his mouth to speak before the girl cut in. "Wow, first class? You must be pretty lousy or maybe the best are like, tenth class or something? I mean I caught him didn't I, and what kind of agents are you? What do you-"
"Enough Hitomi." It wasn't snapped or said in anyway cruel, just tired. The older man was pinching the bridge of his nose, eyes closed before he carried on. "We don't do anything illegal and my family has a very good reputation for keeping a clean sheet, at work and home."
"Don't worry about that sir," Wufei stopped glaring at the girl long enough to become involved in the conversation. "To be honest, we're not here on a Preventers mission, its something a bit more…. Personal."
Duo looked up suddenly, looking from him to Heero shocked before glaring darkly at Heero and leaning back in his seat folding his arms. Heero sighed mentally, he would have a fight on his hands now.
"Personal?" Asked the man before looking at Heero again. "I think I can see. You're here to find out if we are family? Am I correct?" There was a silent nod from the pair of them, Duo's attitude and the girls annoying poking stopped and they sat still, paying shocked attention.
"My name is Memso Sohma, and this here is my cousin Hitomi Sohma, and it seems you already know, this is one of our holiday homes owned by the Sohma family. I was very ill recently and came here to rest in the good weather, it seems Hitomi followed me for some reason, but that's besides the point." Said the older man, as he picked up the photo album, flicked back to the page Wufei had been looking at.
"I'm not sure about your friend, Wufei is it? But I can tell you how you are related Heero." He sighed as he stared at one of the pictures. "I guess you'll probably want to hear about her first, and why I didn't know."
