Duodin-Can I show you the world?
Chapter three: The trouble with Twins
The guards bowed low as the crowned prince and princess of Aquarba passed before them to go into Meiran's private quarters. One particular guard, the captain, did not bow but followed behind the pair as he locked the door behind him as he entered and secured the twins.
Wufei smirked. Only one guard had that much power and control over the entire kingdom. Even Nataku respected him. Wufei watched as the guard's Prussian eyes followed Meiran's every movement, visibly reassuring himself the princess was fine.
“Okay. Now we can talk,” Meiran began, as she sat cross-legged on her favorite pillow. She gazed looked intensely at her personal guard. “Heero, do you want some tea or sweets? Cook made some delicious pastries from our mother's homeland.”
Heero blushed. He knew Meiran should not be doing anything of this nature, especially when he was on duty. Why must the princess tease him so? “No thank you, mistress.”
Meiran growled in irritation, “How many times must I tell you to stop calling me mistress, Heero. We are family.”
“Hn,” was the guard's reply.
Wufei shook his head, sitting on an ottoman across from his sister. “Meiran, you know that you're fighting a hopeless cause yet again.”
Meiran growled at her twin's defeatist attitude. “Fei, Heero is no different than us and you know that. I will not be called mistress by him.”
Heero sighed. No matter what Meiran felt about him, the captain knew where his position stood. His mother was a favorite concubine of the sultan before King Shalamar met his queen. Because of the generosity of the late queen, Heero, was raised along with the twins as their personal protector. Who would ever suspect a child to be a top guard? From a young age, Heero was a genius to the job. After his intense training, the castle's security became airtight and everyone loved him. The twins thought of Heero as their older brother in lieu of a bodyguard and he was always in their company. The three were inseparable, a bond as close as blood developed between them. So, as the wheels of time rolled by, it became obvious when Heero's feelings for one of the twins were not of a brother to a sister. The spell was cast the first moment Heero officially met Meiran, his heart captured the moment he saw the little girl smile. Now as a teenager, standing tall and regal, the beautiful princess who inhabited his nightly dreams, stood before him, furious as hell. Heero greatly respected Meiran. Whenever she spoke, his heart did flip flops inside his body, yet there was a strong line that kept Heero rooted to his status. Meiran was the crown princess of Aquarba and he was just the captain of the royal guard. The law mandated that she must wed a prince and though he loved her with all his heart, Heero could never reveal his heart to her. Though he was of royal blood, his station was not. He was not a prince and by law, Meiran had to marry one.
“All is not hopeless if you believe, Wufei,” Meiran quietly said.
Wufei sighed, dropping to floor and resting back against the ottoman while resting his elbows. “I wish I was as optimistic as you, Mei Mei.”
The young princess smiled and Meiran gracefully rose from her pillows, walking the short distance over to her brother before flopping next to him on the floor. Heero smirked, shaking his head at the princess' behavior. Meiran then placed Wufei's head in her lap, releasing the golden dragon clasp from his hair as she sat entranced by the ribbons of black silk falling lustrously over her lap. Soon, slender fingers combed into the ebony ink, massaging away the days troubled from her twin's overworking mind. “I have to be. Now…” Meiran continued the gentle massage for a minute before she pushed Wufei from her lap, glaring down at him. “We will stop acting like a llama, Wufei. We are going to get you out of this damn castle once and for all and you will tell me all about your experiences when you return.”
Wufei stared up incredibly at his sister from the floor as if she had lost her mind. He was about to say something but Heero spoke first out of concern. “Mistress,” Meiran glared at Heero like she could kill him. The young captain changed his tune along with his tactics, smiling sweet at the insane teenager. “Meiran, what are you plotting now? We know being devious is your specialty, but…what are you going to get your brother and me into now?”
A dark eyebrow arched seductively at her doubters. “Why Heero, dear…whatever do you mean?” Meiran battled her dark silky eyelashes at the captain innocently.
Heero frowned; he was not buying that act. “Don't act foolish, young one. I know the workings of that deviant mind of yours. You are just as bad as your brother when he sets his mind to something.”
An identical black eyebrow rose up from his position on the floor. “I resent that!” Wufei yelled, relaxing his head on one bent arm. He chuckled at Heero's agitated state while the guard looked down at him.
“Well, you know it's true.” Heero yelled, flopping down on the other side of Wufei, while the young prince sheepishly twirled a strand of his dark hair around his finger. “What diabolical schemes are you two concocting now?”
Meiran pouted over at Heero. The captain didn't trust her. How rude. “You're just upset from the last time.”
“Last time,” Heero's voice cracked before he closed his eyes and gained control of his octaves again. He was not going to get upset over these two and their insane games. “Mei, your father dressed me as a woman for punishment.”
Meiran bit her lip, trying to hold her laughter in. “But you looked so cute!”
“MEI!” Heero growled in embarrassment, his face flushing deeper by the seconds.
Wufei burst out laughing, rolling on the floor and holding his guts in pain. Heero could never lie to their father, the sultan. The twins, on the other hand, were the devil incarnate. Though it was terrible to tease Heero, cooped up in the castle day after day was boring as hell. When it became unbearable, Wufei would leave Meiran in the safety of Heero's care until he could sort out his emotions. What the captain didn't know was that the crown princess shared his heart as well. Meiran loved Heero before she could talk, always following him around when he did his duties or just being there when the young guard needed a friend. There had to be a way to change the law. Wufei did not really care about his unhappiness but he did love both his sister and Heero dearly. He had to find a way for them.
“Anyway, all this talk about the people and we don't even know them. Heero, Wufei needs to see his people and you're going to help him go into the city under disguise.”
“What?” Heero didn't believe what he just heard. “Meiran, your father would feed me to his scorpion collection if he found out. There has to be another way of freeing that insane thought from your pretty head!”
Meiran blushed, her dark eyes glittering in Heero's direction, “Pretty?”
Heero flushed, clearing his throat as well as his thoughts while quickly changing the subject. Getting upset over this stupid scheme would not help matters. He was worried more for Wufei. The world outside the castle was harsh. Did the young prince have enough courage to survive a day with his own people? “Wufei, reason with her, please? I don't want to get in anymore trouble from you guys.”
Wufei smiled, rising from the floor, and dusting himself off. Turning to Heero, he motioned his captain to rise, which the slightly older teenager did. Since they were about the same height, Heero the taller one, Wufei reached over and tousled Heero's chocolate shaggy mane. “She does have a point, Heero. Besides, you're not coming with me. You're my alibi.”
Heero looked like he had swallowed a camel, grabbing Wufei's hand before the prince made another pass through his hair. “You actually want me, “Heero pointed to himself, “to let you,” pointing to Wufei, “the crown prince and royal heir of Aquarba, roam the streets like a mere commoner without protection?”
Wufei pondered a moment, his head tilted to the side while a finger steadily tapped against his chin. “The way you say it….it is starting to sound better and better.”
“Wufei!!” Heero screamed.
Wufei stared Heero dead on in the face. “I am going, Heero, so you might as well help me instead of fight against me.”
“It shouldn't be too hard,” Meiran stated, matter-of-factly, staring at her bowl of untouched fruit. She grabbed an orange and began peeling the skin off of it. “No one in the town has seen Wufei or me anyway except as a baby. He would fit right in.”
Heero growled his displeasure. “My men will know Wufei, Mei, as well as other royalty!”
Wufei gently placed his hand on Heero's left shoulder. “Will you trust me, Heero?” The prince paused before he continued to plea his case. “All my life I have done what everyone wants me to do. For once, I am doing what I want to. If I must be chained for the rest of my life with a princess I despise, at least let me have a good memory or two to survive the endless pain I will suffer for the rest of eternity.”
Heero looked into the tormented eyes of his prince. Wufei had been suffering for so long. The young captain sighed in regret for what he was about to do. With a simple nod, both twins grabbed him in a group hug. Meiran smiled at Heero and the captain felt his knees go weak.
“Wufei is going to leave early in the morning before anyone wakes up, Heero. He needs to get a head start for his trip tomorrow.” Meiran then grabbed Heero's and Wufei's hands into hers. “Come, my comrades at arms. We have much to plan before the night is out,” and planned the friends did…long into the night.

Duo burst out laughing!! Wufei and Meiran were going to drive Heero into an early grave if they had their way. He felt so bad for Prince Wufei. Confine to a world of confinement for your entire life…it was so suffocating. Damn! Wufei could write a good story. He couldn't put down the story even if he wanted to! He paused to get a glass of water from the bathroom. Bringing back the glass, he sat it next to him on the carpet and continued from the chapter wondering what plots the twins had in store for their loyal guard.
