Here's the next one…it has been a while but I am hoping to get back to writing but ah well I guess it's been part writer block part brain burn and the rest is forgetfulness. Apologies… -.- 0.o

Warning: blah blah something about lack of ownership which is BULL!! And something about yaoi or something!!

"Have you located him yet?"

"Yes, sir. He's headed toward Virginia as we speak do you want us to close in on him as we speak

Damn him," he sighed, knowing this move would be critical. "No, just wait, contact HER though. I am going to take care of some issues on this end. But, if anything changes let me know immediately."

"We'll be prepared."

And now a set change!! Here we go

Duo cringed at Milliardo's words, Milliardo smirked at Duo's obvious discomfort, Him and Ryan being here would make this year more interesting but why is Ryan here? Her brother wouldn't let her out of his sight if he could and Duo's nervousness made it seem odd, like something had changed. It must be HIS fault, Milliardomused silently. A slight frown playing on his lips, then he noticed Quatre's confused look and he spoke up.

"Is Ryan….um….is he going to join us in the dorm?" Milliardo laughed a musical sound not heard very often, it stunned Heero, Trowa and Quatre, and then he spoke up.

"That would be rather awkward if Ryan stayed in our dorm." Milliardo sent a searching look at Duo, who turned a deep crimson then continued, "But I am sure we'll run into her soon."

"Why can't he stay in here? Is something wrong with him? or is it..." Quatre was about to continue but at that moment Wufei came in carrying two large duffel bags. He spoke in an annoyed fashion, "Quatre, hell is your problem, it's none of your business whatever's going on. " Heero had 

walked over to while Wufei was berating Quatre, grabbing a duffel bag from Wufei's hands and took it to a bunk farthest from the door, the bottom bunk. Duo noticed then spoke up sheepishly.

"I don't mind, really, Ryan…can't be in the dorm because She is assigned to a different dorm. She is my best friend, I consider her my sister. Zex is just being a butt-head." At this the other guys in the dorm switched their stares between Zex and Duo. Zex raised his brows slightly at Duo who just blinked at him. The others just watched in amusement.

"Fine, Duo, you win, for now. I am off to set up for the bonding fire, later boys." With that, Zex left leaving five very confused guys. Wufei was the most startled by Zex's actions and by Duo's words. Then they all sort of shrugged it off and went back to unpacking Quatre speaking enough for all of them, Duo responding simply but his actions spoke of a fearful anxiety, Heero watched Duo with an intense stare, the only time Wufei had ever seen such emotion from Heero, it made Wufei shiver.

Ryan POV

Ryan walked to the end of the corridor. Will and her had finished unpacking and relieving their room of the muggy fume smell that Releena and Mariemaia left after their 'grooming'. Now Ryan was going to breathe in the fresh air…in the hall. She slid down to the floor sitting with her back to the wall near the common room. She had closed her eyes when she felt a shadow stop in front of her, she opened her hazel green eyes to see a lean muscled Chinese teen staring down at her his black eyes, gently questioning

"Are you alright?"

"Yes, just a little lightheaded. Thank you for your concern."



That this young woman was coolly brushing his friendliness off surprised Wufei. She was beautiful, pale skin and dark auburn brown hair trailing past her shoulders. Her eyes were most striking, though, pale hazel streaked with a forest green, they held pain and a sorrow that most would not survive. Wufei felt a strong urge to crush her to him, to force her to smile, to do something to wipe away that fear and sorrow. He felt a wall built up inside of him and he walked away reeling at the force of the emotion, he didn't need to deal with anymore deep relationships he had enough to deal with in Heero, Trowa, Quatre, Zex and Treize. At the thought of Treize, he turned around, she was gone, something about her reminded Wufei of Treize not physically but her aura, Wufei shook his head I am officially going crazy, and now I get to go back to my dorm with that idiot Duo. Great. As Wufei thought this, he didn't notice Ryan pop her head in and then blush and walk out, after signing in with the dorm mother he left, irritation imprinted on his face.

Ryan ran quickly on a path. Her thoughts were wondering, flittering from place to place, no place the same. She smiled, she hadn't even been here for an hour and already guys were flirting with her, even here things were the same. Suddenly Ryan felt a tingle, her instincts were screaming that someone was watching her she slowed and felt the tingles again. Ryan whirled and there stood Une. One of her brother's good friends and co-workers, she was fierce and strong-willed. She smiled then walked to Ryan, took her arm and led her down the path some ways.

"Ryan, I am sorry to bother you at school but I have to talk with you, it's important."

Duo's P.O.V.

Duo sat on his bed trying not to stress out, he had hope that he wouldn't be put in an awkward room and for the most part it's a very nice room except for one thing… Heero Yuy, his other roommates had things to do and now he was left ALONE with Heero, who just keeps staring at him, inconspicuously, of course. It was a little weird. Then Wufei came back in, something about the Chinese man annoyed 

Duo. When he came in, he looked flushed and slightly scared. Duo felt a tingle of sorts but he shrugged it off. The world was a dead and could do nothing for anyone, duo learned that lesson a long time ago, never believe in what you can't see or touch. Heero looked at Wufei with a raised a brow. This was obviously not normal behavior. Duo's pocket began singing and vibrating sweet dreams by eurhythmics, it was Ryan's ringtone. Duo opened his cell phone and listened Ryan was speaking with someone else. A woman, Duo's eyes widened it was Une, an worker of Ryan's Family. The conversation wasn't very clear Duo concentrated carefully to hear the actual words, "What do you…mean HE is here?... When did you find out? ... is… Do you think he will come…here, is that why you're here? ...Duo couldn't hear anymore he didn't need to. He fell to the floor he legs weak under him. duo knew exactly who HE was, Ryan's father, he was coming after Ryan again. Ryan had spent the last two summers with her birth family and hated it. She was required by law to spend six months and she had, Duo had seen the toll it had taken on her, changing his best friend into a complete stranger. He couldn't handle that again. He had to come up with a plan and fast, otherwise it will all be over for Ryan, and everyone that loves her.

Yeah I over dramatized that. But I am hoping it's ok… Oh, if there is anything wrong like word placement, awkward word choice or something let me know, so I can fix it. Later!! R&R
