A Gundam Wing Ghost Story II
4. Unexpected Reunion
*************************************************************** *****************
Duo still couldn't believe it. The boy before him looked like his Wufei although his expression wasn't so soft like Wufei's. His face and his eyes were sterner and his hair was different. While Wufei had had his hair bound in a ponytail, this boy's hair was much longer and in a similar braid to his own.
Nevertheless, this similarity to Wufei was confusing. The braided boy couldn't move until he was roughly pulled up by the Chinese boy. Like hypnotized he stared into whose eyes and immediately a picture of Wufei flashed in his mind.
"Who are you?" the Chinese growled.
Duo suddenly couldn't react different and embraced the Chinese.
"Wufei, it's me, Duo. Don't you remember me? I missed you much and I'm so glad that I finally found you. Oh Wufei..." the braided boy sobbed hugging the shocked Chinese boy.
This one was at first really shocked, but then became furious. Angrily he tore himself away from Duo and then swung his fist towards the other boy. It hit Duo's jaw painfully and flung him to the ground. Rubbing his aching jaw, Duo's mind cleared quickly and he looked up...directly at the Chinese's sword blade, which was aimed at his throat.
"Don't touch me. And now I'm going to repeat my question: WHO ARE YOU?" The Chinese hissed angrily.
Duo just stared at him, not knowing what was going on. This couldn't be Wufei. Never.
He watched as the blond boy touched the Chinese's shoulder. Immediately the Chinese relaxed a little bit.
"Are you alright?" he asked the other boy.
"Yes. What's with him? Who is he?"
"I don't know. He didn't want to say his name!" the Chinese said not loosing sight of Duo.
Suddenly battle noises caught their attention and all three of them looked aside, where Trowa was still fighting against the 40 people. Battle-tried or not, it wasn't easy to fight against 40 people at the same time and so the young monk decided to use his special secret fighting technique to end this fight.
In a split-second he drew with red paint a sign on his hand and then clapped his hands together so that the sign was on both hands now. After doing so he stretched one hand towards the first attackers, who prepared for another attack.
"As a monk I command: DON'T MOVE!" Trowa shouted.
Immediately the men froze in their movements. Quickly Trowa turned round to the next group and shouted again:
"STOP!"
These men also froze. Trowa continued his attack until all 40 men were frozen, some of them in the most absurd positions. Satisfied he looked at his work and then turned to the remaining three boys, who looked shocked about what he had done.
Then the Chinese recovered, quickly making a decision, and grabbed Duo. He pushed the braided boy in front of him and held his sword blade close to Duo's throat.
"Release them or I'll kill your companion!" the Asian youth hissed.
At first Trowa's expression, but then he began to laugh, confusing the other boys. Did this Chinese boy really think that he could impress him like that? Trowa didn't care if he killed this nuisance, then he had one worry less.
Smirking he lifted up the arm of one frozen warrior and went up to the Chinese.
"He's not my companion, just a terrible pain in the ass. You can kill him if you want! I don't care." He said.
At this moment Duo had the misgivings that his temporary situation was getting out of control. First this monk and now this boy, who looked like his Wufei and who tried to kill him now. Why the hell had his life to be so complicated?
*
Meanwhile the blond boy had found something very interesting. It was Duo's amulet which he had lost after being flung to the ground. He picked it up carefully and looked at it from all sides. It seems strangely familiar to him and suddenly the scales fell from his eyes and he remembered.
"Ryu, don't...!" he shouted aloud.
The blond rushed to the small group and turned to the braided book scholar.
"I'm sorry to bother you but can it be that you're the wise scholar Howard?" he asked Duo, holding the metal pendant right before his face.
Duo and the Chinese saw the amulet and at the same moment the Chinese released Duo. This one rubbed his stiff neck. He really didn't understand what was going on now and who the hell was this Howard guy?
"Howard? I don't anyone with this name..." Duo grumbled, who was glad that the Chinese had let him go.
All the more he was astonished when both boys knelt right before him on one knee, their heads bowed respectfully.
"Please forgive me my rudeness! We had no idea that you're the famous scholar Howard!" the young Chinese man replied.
Trowa looked astound at Duo. Then again he really couldn't believe that this guy should be the famous scholar Howard. Quickly he joined the other boys, who were speaking on:
"But forgive us. We haven't introduced ourselves to you. My name is Ryu and that is my half-brother Quatre!" the Chinese said, looking at the blond boy.
"Howard-sensei, it's an honour to meet you!" Quatre said.
"Maybe you can help us! Our father is the former minister of economy of His Majesty, the Emperor. But he falsely was accused of treason and is now brought to the death tract of the capital! We are trying to rescue him. Please help us!" Ryu told a rather confused Duo.
While Duo still tried to digest the whole new information in his mind, the Chinese caught a sudden movement with his eyes. Trowa, who had reached the three boys, stretched out his arm to touch Duo's shoulder. But then he looked into the blade of Ryu's sword, which was aimed warningly at him. The young monk calmly lifted his hands.
"All right, I'm not trying to do anything to you."
Trowa smirked and looked first at Duo and then at Ryu and Quatre.
"So you're the wise Howard! And you two belong to the upper class! Well, then I should I introduce myself as well. My name is...!"
The young monk suddenly paused when he remembered the other men who were still frozen. Trowa directed his painted hands to them and shouted:
"STOP!"
Immediately the ban was dissolved and the soldiers confusedly looked around. Trowa cleared his throat and then introduced himself to all present ones.
"My name is Trowa Barton, member of the Kun Lun sect. I've read all your writings, Howard-sama, and I only use my powers to hunt demons." He said, making many marks of respect.
"We feel so honoured, Howard-sensei!" the forty warriors shouted all at once.
"It also was an honour for me that you've ridden my horse!" Trowa added.
Duo on the other side was too confused to understand what was happening at the moment. Why did everyone here mistake him for a scholar named Howard? He had to clear things now.
"Hey, listen to me. My name is Duo Maxwell and not Howard!" he said aloud.
"Of course I already have suspected that you hide something from us. You don't want anyone to know your real identity. And so only we know your real name!" Ryu said.
"Huh?"
Then Quatre interfered.
"What Ryu means is that no one of us will give away your true identity. From now on Maxwell-san is Howard-san and Howard-san is Maxwell-san! (x_X So confusing, isn't it? *faints*)!" the blond boy said.
"So be it!" the Maganacs shouted out aloud.
And Ryu stepped forward.
"We're doing it like this. And if anyone gives away this secret, he'll die a terrible and cruel death!" he shouted.
"So be it!"
Duo only sweatdropped and sighed. This was going to be a long night.
*
Back in the old villa everyone changed their clothes while one of the Maganacs had made a fire, so that it was going to be warmer.
Duo had withdrawn and was looking the whole time at his painting of Wufei. He couldn't understand why this boy, Ryu, looked like him and yet he wasn't him.
(Oh Wufei, what shall I do?) He thought and sighed mentally.
Suddenly a hand touched his shoulder and Duo flinched. When he turned his head Ryu was standing right behind him. He wore now a traditional Chinese outfit, which were a long white and black jacket, pants and black slip-ons. Under the jacket that was opened he wore a simple white shirt that seemed to show a lot of his well-muscled chest.
The braided boy resisted the urge to blush a deep red and quickly turned his head forward again.
(Oh my god, he's really....hot!)
"Are you alright, Howard-san?" the Chinese asked concerned.
"Yeah, you only startled me a bit!" Duo answered, smiling embarrassed.
Mentally he cursed his situation. He had had the time to think about this Howard and had come to the conclusion that only the old man in the prison could be this famous scholar. As thankful Duo was for rescuing him all the more he cursed him since the braided boy was now forced to play this role for a while. Damn Howard!
"I'm sorry. It wasn't my intention to frighten you! But may I ask you who the young man on the painting is?"
"Um, no one...!" the braided scholar replied, quickly rolling the picture together.
"I understand. You don't want to talk about it. I'll respect this. Do you want to come with us? We're going to discuss a new plan how to rescue our father!" Ryu asked and Duo only nodded.
They went into an illuminated room where Quatre, Trowa and some of the Maganacs were already waiting for them.
"Finally you are here. We already discussed some possible routes of the convoy. I want to know what you are thinking about them." Quatre said.
The blond boy showed the Chinese the routs on a map, which was lying on a bigger stone. Ryu studied each of them, while Duo watched him and at last came to the conclusion, that this boy couldn't be his Wufei. Even if he had been reborn until now, he only would be a baby.
"Excuse me, but maybe Howard-san can say his opinion!" Quatre finally said.
"You're right! What do you think about this?" Ryu asked the braided boy.
Duo snapped out of his thoughts and stared at the Chinese.
"Huh? Did you say something?" he asked.
"I'm sorry to bother you but it would be great if we could hear your opinion!"
(Oh god, now I'm trouble. What shall I do now? Hnnn, maybe I just can say something wise and then they leave me alone!) He thought.
Nevertheless Duo got up and slowly walked to the stone with the map on it. He looked at it and did as if he was thinking hardly, which wasn't easy since he felt the stares of the other men.
"Ahem, maybe they'll come this way!" Duo replied nervously and ran his finger across the map till to the spot where a picture of a pavilion was drawn in. Immediately the others looked at the map, too.
"Mhmm, the Zen Li pavilion. Possible!" the Chinese finally said.
At the same moment one of the Maganacs burst into the room.
"I've got an important message for you, Ryu-san. Your and Quatre-san's father will be at the Zen Li pavilion tonight." The man shouted.
Promptly everyone was looking astonished at Duo, who wasn't surprised less.
"You were right! So you're as good as everybody says!" Trowa replied and bowed his head, while Duo only laughed nervously.
"So father has a chance?" Quatre asked the Chinese.
"Yes!"
"That's great!" the blond boy exclaimed happily.
He, Trowa and all the rest of the Maganacs shouted for joy so much that Quatre even pushed the young monk through the rotten wall and this one landed ungentle on the ground.
"Okay, calm down. It's for the best if we go now!" Ryu ordered.
"Yes!" the fighters shouted in chorus and prepared themselves.
"Hey, wait for me! I'm coming with you!" Trowa shouted and followed them.
Soon everyone except Ryu had disappeared. But this one also wanted to go, but stopped for a moment and turned to Duo.
"You called me Wufei. If that's to be my pseudonym you can call me Wufei!" the Chinese said.
With these words he left.
*
When the Chinese went outside, his gaze fell for a moment on Duo, who simply was standing there. He didn't know why he did it but there was something about the boy which was fascinating him.
Deep in thoughts he wanted to go but something held him back. At first Ryu wanted back, but then changed his mind and looked trough a small opening in the wall just to watch Duo through it. He was hardly there, when he collided with another head. To his surprise it was Quatre, who seemed to have had the same idea.
"What are you doing here, Quatre?" Ryu asked him.
Nervous and blushing Quatre looked at Ryu.
"Ahem, I...!" the blond tried to make excuses.
Ryu only raised one eyebrow. Since Quatre didn't seem to find any fitting words, he walked away. The Chinese was looking now alone through the hole.
"What are doing here, Ryu?" Quatre suddenly asked innocently.
Immediately Ryu looked up and began to walk away, Quatre right behind him.
"The same as you, Quatre! Come on, let's go!"
While both boys were going towards the exit, the blond boy started to ask the Chinese some innocent questions.
"He's kind of cute, isn't he?"
"Maybe!"
"I hope you don't have forgotten that you marry next month!"
"Don't worry. I don't have forgotten it!"
"So you don't mind if I catch him!"
"Do what you want you want. You already look as if you were madly in love!"
Quatre laughed.
"Are you jealous by any chance?"
Ryu made a face. He and jealous? No Way!
"Do I look like I was jealous?"
The blond boy didn't answer, but dragged his half-brother outside.
"Come, we have to free father!"
And shortly afterwards Ryu, Quatre and the Maganacs were on their way.
*
At the same time Trowa was walking another way. He had separated from the others because he had smelt something strange and now he investigated this track, using his nose.
"Hmmm, that's strange! It smells of ghost. So this place is haunted yet!" the young monk murmured to himself.
He followed the track and soon he had found something. Right before him there was a gigantic print on the ground, which simply couldn't belong to a human being. Trowa compared the print with his hand but couldn't say if it was a hand or a foot print.
"Does this print belong to a hand or to a foot? I guess if I find the ghost I'll know it! Yes, that's it."
The young monk ran on through the thicket until he stopped abruptly. Right before him was the corpse of a man. The dead body was terrible mutilated and full of blood. His head was missing and because of his clothes Trowa recognized him as one of Ryu's and Quatre's men.
"The ghost must have killed this man! It's the best if I bring him to Howard-san! He'll know what to do!"
With these words Trowa lifted up the corpse and carried it to Duo.
