Are the ends justified by the means? Chapter nine

Chapter nine:

Sunday morning.

Wufei rolled over lazily, groaning as he entered the realms of the living. Sleepily, stretching, he turned to look at his alarm clock. Ten o clock. Groaning, Wufei sat up in bed, Duo's cheerful humming floating into the bedroom from the living room/ kitchen.

Wufei lazily got up, stretching, before pulling on his bloody, ripped trousers, wandering into the living room in search of his new found friend, Duo.

Following the sound of (presumably) Duo's cheerful humming, Wufei found himself in the living room.

Duo sat on a comfortable-looking black leather armchair, feet curled up under him, mug of coffee in one hand, horror book, Dracula, in the other, a large, unsteady an messy looking pile of homework and assignments stacked next to the chair.

// Hn, he looks so engrossed in that book….Dracula, hum, now where have I heard that name before?……. I wonder what the book is about…… I don't really want to disturb him, but…..// Wufei thought, walking up to Duo, waiting for the other to acknowledge his presence, sighing, before tapping the other on the shoulder to get his attention.

Making a strangled, high-pitched scream, Duo jumped up, dropping his mug of coffee over himself, looking fearfully up at Wufei.

"Sit, Wu, ya nearly gave me a heart attack there! I thought you were a vampire!" Duo exclaimed, calming down.

" I am sorry, Duo." Wufei apologised, looking down.

"It's not your fault, Wu, I wasn't paying attention. Too wrapped up in my book. I absolutely love anything to do with the supernatural, specially the mythical creatures. The dark ones are the best, like Dracula."

"Duo, if you do not mind me asking, why are you so fascinated with the supernatural?" Wufei asked, sounding genuinely interested.

"Ta tell you the truth, I don't really know. Well, I sort of do. Ever since I was a little kid, and I first heard about vampires, ghosts, magic and were-creatures, I kinda believed that they were real. I mean, the myths had to be based on something, right? It may be silly, but I used to imagine that they were real, that people I passed in the street, my classmates, even that my teachers were really vampires, werewolves, mages, or had some kind of supernatural power.

He, kinda silly really. Infact, the only person I never imagined to be one of those was my adoptive mother, Helen. I used to think she was really an angel, sent to look after and protect me. But angels don't die….." Duo trailed off, looking distant for a moment.

"Hehe, sorry `bout that, `Fei, kinda spaced out for a minute there, didn't I?" Duo apologised looking at Wufei.

Then, Duo realised. Wufei was only wearing the torn, bloody trousers and bandages.

"I completely forgot! You don't have any cloths, do ya? Well, we'll just have to go shopping then, wont we? Hold on a sec-" Duo exclaimed, before rushing out of the room, leaving a slightly confused-looking Chinese youth behind him.

Duo appeared a few seconds later, tossing Wufei a bundle of black cloths.

"Here, put these on Wu, they should just about fit you `till we can get ya some stuff."

"Thank you, Duo, I…."

"No need ta thank me, Wu, it's no problem, really."

"Thanks" Wufei looked down blushing, before quickly changing, getting ready to leave.
