The Shinigami rewrites - DragonLance Chronicles.
Gundam Wing isn't mine. DragonLance isn't mine. Nothing is mine, not even my hair colour.
I thought that with all the descriptions of Duo, it would be funny to see Heero interact with a kender. Then I thought of this. Yaoi, X-over, AU. Duo as a kender... scary. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

Part 2 The Inn Of the Last Home.
Heero looked around the inn cautiously, mentally calculating all possible threats and escape routes. He saw Tas run into the crowd. /Pointed ears. Him and Tanis both have pointed ears. Just like Duo./ He looked up at a roar. He saw Tas being lifted by a giant of a man.
"Come on Heero." Tanis said. The pilot followed the half elf further into the inn. Tanis smiled at the huge man, as he was crushed by a strong embrace. Once the man let him go, he spoke up. "Caramon, this is Heero Yuy. Heero, Caramon Majere. Where's Raistlin?" The big man frowned at the question, then nodded at the shadowed corner.
"There. He's changed Tanis." Tanis moved forward. Heero watched as the half-elf spoke uneasily.
"Raistlin?" The robed figure looked up.
"Tanis?" He asked. Then he pulled his hood back. Heero had seen dreadful things in the war. He had done worse.

"You set your own leg???"

But nothing in the past prepared him for his first ever sight of Raistlin Majere. Heero turned his face away uneasily. /Given a choice, I think I'd take my chances facing Duo after self-destructing. And maybe a few suicide jumps out of tall buildings. Duo in a temper is nothing to that. I think maybe even Dr J would be better./ He turned back at the sound of his name.
"Heero? This is Caramon's brother Raistlin. Raistlin, this is Heero Yuy. Tas picked him up." The mage gave a knowing... well, not quite smile. More like grimace. At the thought, Heero turned to look for the kender. His attention was caught by Tanis' voice.
"It's from Kitiara. She's not coming." /Who is Kitiara?/ Heero thought. Then Flint spoke.
"That's done it. The circle is broken, the oath denied. Bad luck." He shook his head. "Bad luck." Heero's confusion must have shown. Tas spoke.
"Oops, sorry Heero, Kitiara is Caramon and Raistlin's half sister." Heero just nodded, dismissing the conversation. Then looked over as a man in armour walked in, followed by a couple of strangers.
"Sturm!" Tanis said. Heero felt a tug on his arm, as Tas whispered to him.
"You're dressed pretty odd. Do you want me to find you some better clothes?" Heero looked down at himself. /Hn. What does he mean? I'm not wearing my spandex. Duo made sure of that. I wonder what that baka's doing. It won't hurt though. At least I won't stand out./
"Alright Tas. But nothing over the top." Tas grinned, then used the words that struck an all to real fear into a young man still used to dealing with the manic god of death.
"Trust me."
------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Duo sighed heavily. Then he looked back at his friends.
"Look, we don't want to attract attention. This world is low-tech. That means-"
"We know what it means Maxwell! Get on with it."
"As I was saying. We need to dress in a way that won't draw too much attention to ourselves. This means plain. Homespun. Ordinary. Maybe leather if you're good. OK?" Quatre frowned.
"What about your hair Duo? Won't that attract attention?"
"No Q-man. I have that all worked out. I won't be noticed at all. I can just blend in with the crowd."
"Dressed like that." Duo gave his familiar manic Shinigami grin.
"Trust me."
Duo sighed. Again. /They're being so difficult./ He spoke again.
"Trowa, I know what I'm talking about, ok? I'll explain it all when we meet in Solace." Trowa nodded finally. /Right. Trowa near the plainsmen. Quatre near Qualinesti. Wufei near Haven. Me near Crystalmir Lake. We can do this./ Duo grinned again. It wasn't until later, that the other pilots realised Duo had referred to the town by name.
------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------
"What do you think?" Tas grinned. Heero looked down at the clothes.
"Tas, It's leather."
"Yeah, so you're a fighter. Elves wear leather armour."
"Tas, I'm not an elf." Tas pouted.
"You did say you wouldn't wear armour like Caramon or Sturm. So I got you some like Tanis."
"Alright. I'll wear the damned armour." Tas smiled brilliantly.
"Great! Well? Go on, get changed." Heero sighed.
"Yes Tas."
Heero descended the stairs to the common room of the inn. He saw Tas listening to a song. The barbarian woman was the singer. Then as the song faded away, the old man in the corner began to tell a story. Heero turned towards Tanis.
"Did Tas find you some new clothes?" Tanis smiled. Heero met his eyes.
"Yes." They looked around at a voice.
"Blasphemy! Blasphemy! Heretic! Corrupting our youth! I'll bring you before the counshel, old man!" As Heero watched the man rant on about heresy and then tried to take the staff. The woman's companion shoved the other man away. Not very hard, but the man fell into the fire. Only Tas seemed able to move. Even before Heero could register what had happened, Tas was holding the woman's staff, and used it to knock the burning man to the ground. Heero blinked. /Oh God. That staff just.../ Tas looked stunned. The old man began to shout.
It healed him! The staff! Look at the staff! Call the guards! Arrest the kender! Arrest the barbarians! Arrest their friends! I saw them come in with this knight!" He was pointing at the armoured man with Tanis. /Sturm wasn't it? Ha, I hear more than you thought Duo./ The [formerly] burning man screamed some more about blasphemy and heresy, then stuck his hand back into the fire. The barmaid led them away. He heard Tanis.
"We'll have to go out through the kitchen!"
-------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------
Duo walked into Solace. He saw a pretty red-haired girl walking towards him. /Hmm, I could lift her purse easily, but maybe.../ He spoke up.
"Hey!" The girl looked to him.
"I'm new to town, would you be able to tell me where I could get a job?" She looked at him.
"Well, how do you think you'd go working at the inn?" He smiled.
"Why not?" The girl smiled back at him.
"My name is Tika Waylan. What's yours?"
"I'm..." /May as well cover my ass./ "Shinigami."
"Hey, Shin!" The new boy was quick on his feet. Tika smiled. He darted faster than almost any kender. /well, not surprising really. Poor kid, a half-kender. With enough sense to get a job, but still with all the kender skills./ She looked thoughtful. /I'm glad though. If he hadn't been able to pick that lock. Those children would be dead now. I just have to get him to stop chatting so much./ Her smile reappeared as Shin sidestepped a rather lecherous patron.
"Hey! Who are you calling a girl?" Shin snarled, a knife in his hand. The man jumped. /Oh yes, He is most definitely a kender./
"Shin! Let it go."
"But Tika!" Shin was indignant.
"Never mind. Just continue serving the other customers." Shin turned from the lecher. But his huge expressive eyes promised retribution later.
----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------
Duo scowled for a moment, dropping his mask altogether. /Jesus Heero. The things I go through for you. After all this, You'd better be alive still. But that Hederick./ Duo shuddered /That guy gives me the creeps. It's so hard monitoring what I say. One day I'm gonna slip and mention Earth. No. I won't do that. This is for Heero's sake. I hope the others are alright./
