Aaries: Yes we know we should be updating our other storys, but currently this is My fave!!!!!

Chaos: even though we only got two reviews on FF.net...... till we posted the note

Aaries: I hope to remedy that soon....

Angel: Look at the bright side, we got like four reviews on Media Miner

Aaries: thats always good

Jef: WHATEVER!!! Now go read. Looks scary angry


"FUCK!!!!!! GODANM FUCKING SHIT!!!!!" a normaly so mild and bouyant voice exclaimed, filling the not so calm air of the hanger with profanity, then continued along that vein in five different languages (causing the paint on a nearby wall to start flaking violantly) before another voice inturupted.

"Whats wrong Duo?" Quatre asked, walking into the hanger where four of the five Gundams rested.

"Aww nuthing... I just fell and the part I was working with got broken." Duo said rising from the ground in front of Shinigame where he had fallen and holding the mangled piece of machinery up so the others could see. "And it was the last one in stock!!"

"What piece is it, there might be a spare in the repair kits." Trowa said from where he was working in Heavyarms cockpit.

"Nah its not that importaint. I was trying to tune up the scyth." Duo said refering to the Shinigame's main weapon. "OOOoooooooohhhh!!! Is that a double white latte, extra suger that I'm smelling???" He said rising to his feet and running to relieve Quatre of the starbucks cups he was carrying, not to mention a small box that smelled suspisously like cinamin.

Trowa took this as his sign to leave heavyarms for later and claim one of the remaining lattes, at the same time draping himself around his lover from behind. "Thank you." he whisperd in Quatres ear, and kissed the blond arabs cheek.

"I just got an e-mail from the doctors." Quatre said as Trowa pulled away from him. "I have a mission in austrailia, and it looks like there may be missions for you too from what I read in the report they sent me."

"OK!" Duo said. "I'll go cheak my e-mail now and see if theres anything new."

Before he made it to the door though Wufei spoke up, surprising them all. "I hope we dont get split up."

"Why?" Trowa asked.

The chinese boy shrugged. "We work well as a team." He explained, before leaving through the door at the other side of their hanger.

Duo was the one that broke the silence. "Well I for one agree with him, and its not half so lonely when your working in a group." He explained. "I'll be back in a few." he said leaving the room finaly and heading to the living room of the safehouse three levels up. The hanger was fifty feet underground with two exits for people walking, one to the outside and one to the house.

When Duo got to his room he went to the computer and cheaked his e-mail that Prof. G had set up for leaving mission info and stuff. He did indeed have a mission but he would be going solo.

"FUCK!!!" he said looking at the missin specs. "Why the hell would I be chosen for THIS??" He wonderd out loud. It was an info gathering mission, he was supposed to steal some kind of technology from someone in Japan. The type of technology was also verry strange. Holoprojector technology that actualy made light seem solid? Even if it worked it would require a huge amount of energy....

"Thats fucking impossible." Duo muttered, re-reading the specifiactions. And he was supposed to do this on his own. "Fuck."


"Im sorry we have to seperate." Quatre said, as he and Trowa loaded their bags in the car that would take them to the air port. They had a mission in austrailia, and Duo couldnt be more envious of them. Quatre's mansion was in a temperat area, but Duo was going to Japan, and at this time of year it was guaranteed to be misserable.

Heero had dissapeared two nights ago, and so Wufei and Duo would have the mansion to themselves and Quatre's servants for two days, then it would just be Duo. There had been no explanation as to of why Duo was getting an intelegence mission instead of blowing something up either.

"Eh, its ok, we can meet up when we're all done." Duo said with his usualy atitude, while he helped Trowa put the last two bags into the trunk.

"I'll get you a poast card, ok?" Quatre said. "I wont be able to mail it to you while we're on mission, but I'll get you one for later anyways."

"Thanks!" Duo said, giving his friend a quick hug and a huge smile. "Have fun while you can ok?"

"We need to go." Trowa said, and he and Quatre said thier final goodbyes and got into the car. Wufei went inside when the car left the driveway, but Duo stood and watched the car disapear into the distance, then stood for a little while longer praying that he would meet his friends again in the near future.


Four days later Duo arived at Domino cities international airport, exausted and with an unusual amount of jet lag. All Duo wanted to do was find a hotell room and fall asleep, ut that was looking like a doubtfull possiblity indeed because all of the customs cheaks and the baggage claims and lack of taxies. When Duo finaly did arive at his hotell, and after convinceing the hostess he was who he claimed to be (even though he wasnt realy) he did sleep all day, untill mid-afternoon when he could sleep no longer. For the rest of the day, the pilot of Shinigame explored the eerily familar city, and got to know the area that seemed so familar and yet so strange, the place where he would be staying for the next week or so.


Aaries: Ok, that chapter was supposed to be one paragraph longer, but it would have been a cliff hanger if we did that and I'm feeling generous.

Jef: Next time tune in for a night club and a freaking out Seto!!!

Chaos: hehehehe... trust me, its good. poor Seto is going to have a cow.

Angel: golden horns and all!!! chuckling darkly

Aaries: for the votes we requested in our note, so far its a tie I think. I got eleven votes, five for Duo/Heero, five for Zechs/Duo, and one that said I should write what I want to, I think...

Chaos: the vote is still up, and either way there will be a litte action for both such pairings.

Jef: (is reading over previos chapters) did we forget to say there would be a healthy dose of 3/4 in this? Oh well, now you know!!!!
