Chapter 16: Fei-Fei
Duo's POV
It has been about a week since I had my flash back of Quatre and Trowa. I now know for sure that I knew who they were and that they were my friends at one point, but I am still remembering moments I had with them. It's nothing as big as me having to pass out and seeing the images in my head. I just remember some random things or whatever we happened to be talking about at the time. I feel more comfortable around them now. Don't get me wrong I trust the other two, but…I just…I still don't remember who they are.
The Chinese looking one, Wufei, is nice but has a serious thing about justice. He went on one of his 'justice' rants, and that voice was telling me basically all about the ones in the pasts…not that I remembered them clearly. He and Sally seem to be going out or something. I don't really know who Sally is, but I remember her face in some of my dreams I had a while back. I would dream of being severely injured, and she would always help me out no matter what. They both seem to be good for each other though, and I always have a strange urge to tease Wufei about something in their relationship.
The other Asian looking man, Heero, is the one I feel the most awkward around. When ever I see him, I get this strange feeling in my stomach. It seems like I always want to blush when he gets close to me, or stares me in the eyes. I don't really understand why I get these feelings for someone I barely know, but…God he is so fucking HOT! His body just screams sex and I have to strain myself not to drool when ever I see it. I already knew I was gay soon after they found me with no memory. Having most of the girl population on the colony chase after you as soon as you can walk around, and you not caring for anyone of them kind of say's something. But when an unknown guy comes into my dream and you begin to lust after him, that tells you a whole other story.
Heero is a sweet guy, but seems to have trouble in the conversation department. Though, this does remind me of some kind of incidents that may have happened in my dreams. At some points he will talk for a long time, but other times he just grunts a response that you have to decipher into English. What I am trying to say is that he needs to talk and play around more. He will sit down and type on his laptop for hours on end without a word…it's just not right.
Well now I am in the library looking at some past records of Gundam battles, and news reports about the Gundam pilots. I was seeing Deathscythe and the other Gundams battle and was wondering if that was really me inside of the black Gundam piloting it. It was weird not remembering all of these important things that I have supposedly done in the past. I just couldn't figure out if all of this was the truth or not, and I was never a very patient person to begin with.
So once again, I am here in the library, sitting here watching old news reports, and, if I find any, reading some newspapers over the Gundams as well. So being the person that I am, I have my rock music blaring on the radio so I wouldn't get bored as easily as I usually do when I read. I'm about to watch another news clipping when my music is suddenly shut off. Confused I slowly look up to see none other than Wufei standing there with my music chip in his hand.
"Duo…" he sounds a little irritated.
"What's up Wufei?" I ask innocently.
"The ceiling of this ship, baka. Now it's my turn to ask a question."
Uh-oh you are in trrrooobllleee.
Shit the voice is here, 'fun'.
"You know that I like to hang out in the library a lot..." That was not a question, but I nod anyway.
Watch it be about your music. The voice was now teasing me.
"…So why, may I ask are you playing that horrible crap you call music in the library?"
Told yea so
I'm just going to ignore it now.
"Well you weren't in here at the time, and I hate it when it's quite. I like my music, and it's not crap." I tell Wufei sternly.
"It is to a bunch of crap! Now I demand you to turn off your music or I will do you justice. The way you play your music while others want it quiet is injustice and…" Wufei started but the voice had said something to catch my interest.
Oh, one of Wufei's famous justice speeches. I was wandering when you would get them again…it's not normal for you to go so long with out an earful everyday.
I think about what the voice is telling me while Wufei is still talking to himself now.
"Of all of the injustice is that…" he looks over to me "…YOU ARE NOT LISTENING TO ME." he yelled at me.
I jumped a little and turned to face him, a little smile on my face.
"Hehe, sorry Wufei I got distracted by something." I replied sheepishly.
"And what, may I ask got you distracted?" He said mockingly.
If you tell him that you're listening to me…do you think he will think your crazy?
"SHUT UP" I shout.
Wufei stares at me with a stunned expression on his face. I must look stun to because I did not mean to shout that out loud.
'Oh shit. I did not just do that did I.' I think to myself.
Oh shit is right, and yea you just did that. Wonder how long he will stay stunned.
'Shut up, I'll deal with you later' I thought this time.
Sure you'll deal with me. You don't even know if I really exist, or if you're going crazy, so ha.
Damn, but it was right. Right then Wufei got out of his shock.
"W-What did you say to me Maxwell?" He looks like he just got slapped.
"Uh…I said shut up." I said timidly.
"Why would you tell me to shut up when I asked you a simple question? And don't yell at me this time."
I couldn't get out of this one really. "I didn't mean to yell at you…I…I was just thinking and all these thoughts came at once and I just couldn't think, and I just sort of yelled shut up and I meant for it to be in my headbutinsteadIsaiditoutloudbyaccidentandI'mrealsorry andIwon'tdoitagainsoifyoucanforgivem-" I was saying all of this in one breath and started to speed up, until Wufei covered my mouth.
"Damn Maxwell, you still don't have to breath when you talk, do you?" he said in a jokingly tone. "And I accept your apology…since that's all I really understood in all of that mess."
"Oh…thank you Wufei, I appreciate it." And I meant it.
"No problem, I know you have more honor than that, Maxwell." Why, when he said I had honor, did I feel my heart swell?
"Hey Wufei, can I ask you a question?"
"Sure why not."
"Um, well where do you come from that makes honor such a big thing?" I ask quietly.
"Oh…well I lived on L5 most of my life. L5 mainly have people that live in clans, meaning it's their own society, own government, and people. My clan was the Dragon clan. My family believed that I should be well educated, so they made me become a scholar. I'm not saying I complained, because I liked what I learned. When I was about 131 I was to be married to a girl from a neighboring clan, to end a war that was going on between our two clans. The girl I was to married to was named Merian. Her clan was one of fighting, and when we first met, it was when we were to be married. She thought of me as a weak man, and could not do anything for himself. This of course got me angry with her, saying how she was only a weak onna and could never beat me. To say in the least we didn't get along very well in the beginning, but as months past, we began to respect each other."
Wufei had a glimmer in his eyes as he told me of Merian, but once he stopped a sad look started to fill his eyes.
I didn't want to ask, but I couldn't help it. "What happened to her?"
"She died." Wufei whispered, "Oz came, and she wanted to fight, but I wouldn't saying we couldn't do anything to really help. She called me a coward and ran to go fight…" He trailed of, a shine coming into his eyes. "I stayed repeating what she said in my head, thinking how I really was a coward. I finally snapped out of it and ran outside to look for Merian, but when I found her…she was already dieing. I told her how sorry I was that I didn't help her, how I should have been with her. She just called me an idiot telling me that if I was there with her I would be dieing as well. I promised her then that I would fight against OZ, get revenge for her and both of our now destroyed clans." A tear fell from his eye, "She said…she said she was proud of me, and then died…right in my arms. Shortly after, I left to go fight and trained with the sword she used, and still use. I became a master of that sword in just a year. Later I got my Gundam from Dr. O."2 He wiped the tear away and looked away from me.
I was so intent on the Wufei's story that I was startled a little when the voice started to speak to me again.
Such a sad story, but it's true that if he was with Merian he would of died and not be here helping today. Some things seem to happen on there own for a reason. If Merian hadn't died, then what would happen between him and…?
"Sally!" I say aloud, snapping my head up.
Wufei jerks his head toward me and stairs at me, "What about Sally?" he asks.
"What's going on between you two?"
He looks a little embarrassed by my question, but answers anyways. "Me and her are seeing each other, I asked her out shortly after you disappeared."
I stare at him trying to say something else, but can't because the voice is now cheering.
Yes, I didn't think he would be this easy to get to open up. Ah, I just love it when everything goes so smooth. Hey I hope your tired because we going to have blast to the past. So Ready…
I snap out of it right then, 'No, not now'
Or
"Not here" I shout aloud
Not
The last thing I see is the confused look on Wufei's face going too scared as he sees me falling over in my chair. Then BAM I see colors everywhere.
Flash back
Wufei is in the forest practicing with his katana, when he hears my voice behind him.
Duo: "Damn, your really good with that thing aren't you?"
He snapped his head around to look at me.
Wufei: "A master, actually and what sort of injustice is this sneaking up on me and interrupting my practice?"
"Just seeing how close I could get to another Gundam pilot."
"You wish to attack me from behind? Do you have no honor in battle?"
"I don't know much about honor, but I just came to warn you that OZ is patrolling this forest now, so you might want to move out."
"Why do you wish to help me?"
"Hey an enemy of my enemy's is my friend right?"
"That makes no sense"
"What ever it's just an expression, I just wanted you to know." I start to walk away when I stop and say over my shoulder, "Oh, and by the way my name is Duo Maxwell."
Wufei stares at me for a little bit, then finally replies. "Chang Wufei." We go separate ways for now.

In a safe house after a mission
Duo: "Admit it, you like Sally.
Wufei: "I do not like that weak onna, so drop it."
"But Fei-kuns you're blushing right now."
"I am not you baka so just shut up."
"What ever, but you'll see one day that I'm right.
"That'll be the day."
'And I'll be teasing you on that day.'
End Flash back
I start to hear voices first.
"What did he remember?"
"I don't know. He just passed out one me."
"What were you both talking about?"
"We were talking about were I came from"
I begin to open my eyes and see Heero leaning over me with a worried expression on his face.
"Duo, are you okay?" He asks me
"I'm fine, though my heads a little sore." I reply.
"Do you need to lie down in bed?" Wufei asks this time.
I nodded and Heero began to pick me up. "That would be a great thing to do now, thanks Fei-kun."
Wufei pauses at that and stares at me. Heero gets a shock as well, and almost drops me in the process.
"D-d-did you just…" Wufei trailed off.
"Wha's wrong Fei-fei, cat got your tongue?" I teased.
"You remember me." He began to get this crazy grin on his face. "You remember me, oh Duo that makes me so happy."
"Yeah, yeah, I remember who you are, but no speeches or hugs right now, I want to nap." And I then put my head on Heero's chest and started to fall asleep. I could have sworn though I heard Heero's breath get caught in his throat as I snuggled against him, or was it all in my head? Oh well, I'll just think about it later, and I was out like a light.

1: I don't know how old Wufei was when he got married so I guessed, so yea.
