Chapter ten: shopping!!!!

~Twenty minutes later at Oakdale mall~

"Come on Wu. We're here! You can choose whatever you want, `kay? Ooooo, come on, you just have too look in this shop, ooooo, and this one! That shop sells just the perfect outfits for you!!!!" Duo gushed excitedly, dragging a slightly bemused, overwhelmed and apprehensive-looking Wufei behind him.

"Are you..... Sure Duo? I don't want to be a bother......" Wufei trailed off.

"Wu, if I wasn't sure I wouldn't have offered! And you are no bother at all, Wu! It's nice to have someone to annoy-I mean, talk to! Hehehe, come on Wu, you need some new things!" Duo smiled at the blushing, slightly shorter oriental youth, gently taking his hand, and walking at a slightly calmer, less-manic pace to the nearest cloths shop.

"Thank you Duo, I..... No one has been this nice to me in a long time, if ever..... I-I really appreciate this, Duo....." Wufei trailed off, smiling, and following Duo into the shop.

Almost three hours later, twenty-six cloths stores, thirteen shoe-shops, seven jewellery stores, nine cosmetic stores, one hairdresser's salon, and one opticians later, Duo had finally deemed Wufei to have enough cloths, shoes and makeup, `for the time being'. He had also bought himself a new outfit or two, some makeup and new boots.

He had dragged Wufei into a hairdressers, and, after nagging and prying for information from Wufei, had found that the oriental youth needed glasses for reading, and had immediately dragged him off to order new contacts and spare, designer FcUK (I do not own---((French connections UK))) for Wufei.

Among the cloths that Duo had purchased for `Fei, were seven traditional Chinese dress-suites/ outfits: a plain white one, a black and red-edged one, a black and red one with a gold Chinese dragon on the back, a deep midnight blue one, a black and red one with Chinese symbols for justice, strength, dragon, and death in gold one the jacket, and two plain deep and black ones with dragons, symbols, and various other pictures stitched onto the back.

Duo had also insisted on buying Wufei a few pairs of black and red leather low-slung trousers, a variety of tight tank tops, a few shirts, and a full-length black and red leather trench coat.

He had also bought several pairs of black, red and blue Chinese slipper-shoes (things-what r they called?) two pairs of black boots, black, red, gold and blue belts, and a variety of white gold, black onyx and red ruby jewellery.

Wufei's previously black, shoulder length hair now had several large silver streaks in it. He also now had frameless reading glasses, and a variety of contact lenses-a few clear pairs, some silver ones, and a variety that Duo said he `had to have', including spirals, cat-like eyes, and flames.

"Come on `Fei, we need to get you some new books for school." Duo bounced up, dragging Wufei towards a large Otakers.

As they entered the shop, Wufei slowly turned his head, looking around the huge shop in awe of all the books.

"Hey, Wu, why don't you look around while I get your stuff for school? I'll see ya in a minute!" Duo smirked, wandering off.

Wufei smiled, slowly taking a cautious step forward, reaching out for the nearest book.

Half san hour later, Duo came back over, arms filled with books he had yet to purchase for himself and Wufei.

Duo had selected several new Magnas (don't care if spelled it wrong...) and a couple of supernatural books that he had ordered.

Wufei had been looking at several books in Mandarin, Japanese, Russian, And Cantonese; one of witch was a poetry book, one on proverbs, one on myths, and one book on philosophy.

"Found anything you like, Wu?" Duo asked, peering over the stack of books he was carrying.

"Um, yes….." Wufei replied, looking down at the four books he was holding.

Rolling his eyes, Duo grabbed the four books off of him, walking over to the counter, quickly paying for all of their books, before walking back over to Wufei, handing him the four books.

"I- thank you, Duo…" Wufei stuttered slightly, blushing.

"No-problem! How the hell can ya read that stuff, anyway, Wu-man?! I'm struggled with French!" Duo exclaimed, mindlessly babbling on for a few minutes, making Wufei smile, before Wufei answered him.

"Well, Mandarin is my first language. Japanese is my second, English third, Cantonese fourth and Russian fifth. I can also read and understand several other languages, including Arabic, Latin, German, French and Spanish."

"Aww, cool! I wish I could speak a different language… French sucks! The school makes it sound sooooo boring!" Duo wined.

"I could teach you, if you would like….." Wufei offered, smiling nervously.

"Really? You'd do that Wu-man?! Cool!!!!!!!" Duo whooped, hugging the shorter youth.

"So, what sorta subjects ya into at school, Wu?" Duo asked.

"Well, I like history, art, philology, politics, literature, and mythology." Wufei answered, smiling up at Duo. Wufei had really begun to trust and warm up to Duo over the short period of time he had spent in the manic youths company.

After about half an hours discussion on the supernatural; Duo and Wufei had been debating on the existence of vampires, were-creatures, witches and mages, they passed an art store.

"Hey Wu, can you wait out here for a minute? I'll be right back, ok?"

(Meanwhile, Back at Duo's apartment……….)

*Bang bang bang*

"Duo, open this door now! Duo, are you even in there?! DUUUOOOOOO!" Quatre called/ shouted, banging on Duo's apartment door.

"Quatre, I don't think that they are home." Trowa impassively stated, leaning against the wall.

A few seconds later, a black and cobalt-clad figure appeared out of the shadows, walking over to the two other youths.

"They left earlier for the mall." Heero stated, "They are probably still there shopping."

Trowa raised his eyebrows in silent questioning. Heero just shrugged.

"If it is Chang, then this could be important."
