~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo. Ever since he has arrived everything has been its been all about Duo. Mom's constantly going Duo this and Duo that.sometimes I think she's forgotten that I'm the blood relative and now she wants me to take him to school to get enrolled. So here I am sitting next to him on the school bus instead of with my friend Trowa. He's sitting next to Quatre behind me and it buggers me that I have to twist myself 180 degrees just to see their faces as I talk. Its even worse as there are little brats sitting in front and to the other side of me, I'm sitting on the aisle seat because Duo wanted the window. I don't see why he wanted the window seat because right now he's leaning over my twisted form trying to talk to a little Chinese boy called Wufei. I just hope that he doesn't call me Hee Chan in public too loudly.

It was Quatre who first noticed the scrapes on my arms or maybe he saw the large bandages though the thin fabric of my white school shirt. I knew he knew by the look in his eyes.

"Don't even think about asking." I said just before he opened his mouth. "But if you must know it didn't happen in a fight."

"But-"

Thank goodness for Trowa.

"No Quatre. Heero doesn't want to talk about it."

I nodded my head in appreciation and turned back to face the front just in time to see the latest addition to my family squabbling with a Chinese boy who looked like he would be the same age as Duo.

"Cut it out. " I said firmly. "You're annoying me and messing up my uniform."

Duo looked up at me with impossibly big eyes and a small pout.

"But he started it." He whined.

"I don't care who started it. Just stop it. I don't want to hear a word from you until we reach the school."

"Don't you care about me.Hee Chan?"

I heard a stifled giggle that sounded very much like Quatre. I scowled.

He dissed my hair and said I look like a girl." Duo gripped his braid protectively and looked lovingly at it. "This is all I have to remind me of Father and Sister."

Damn it! Where in the world did he learn how to act like that? And how did I get to become so weak? One tiny facial expression changed my heart into a bowl of floppy goo. Luckily I didn't have to deal with it for very long for the bus pulled up in front of my school.

"Stop that. We're here. I want you to be on your best behavior and don't run away from me. This place is big and I don't want to have the principal issue a call for a lost little boy over the intercom. You got that?"

He gave me a look that said 'would I do that?' but the mischievous glint in his eyes told me otherwise. If my friends weren't around I would have asked mom for the tether she had used on me when I was a child but since my friends were here I did the next most embarrassing thing. I took hold of his hand and led him off the bus.

"Hey is that your new sister?"

It was Hilde.

"You're mother and father are so kind to adopt a child. She is so cute and adorable but why is she wearing all black and pants?

I sighed. "That's because the she you are referring to is a he. His name is Duo-"

"Hi! The name's Duo, Duo Maxwell. Father Maxwell gave me his last name cos I don't have one. I'm a guy not a girl, don't get that confused just cos of the hair. If you have a problem with it then I can't help you. And what is wrong with the colour black? I like black. Black is cool."

Hilde giggled.

"Oops. Sorry lil fella. Didn't mean to hurt your feelings. I won't make that mistake again."

Then she turned back to me.

"He sure talks a lot." Then she noticed the bandages. "Hey what happened to you?!"

"Nothing that I can't handle."

Hilde frowned for a moment before becoming her usual self.

"Hey you two look so cute like that." She gestured at the way I was holding Duo's hand at the moment. " I really oughta take a picture of you two like that someday. You know I'm doing photography as an elective."

"I'm not interested. Right now my focus is on getting this brat enrolled and out of trouble."

Duo flinched at the name-calling.

"Don't call your brother that! You'll hurt his feelings."

My brother instantly put on a show again with the massive glossy eyes and pouts.

"He does a lot more than that too Miss." He said in tiny voice. "He says I'm annoying and tells me to be quiet all the time even when I didn't do anything to him. Its like he doesn't want me around." He paused and put a finger to his lip. "Maybe I should just tell mom and ask to be sent back to the orphanage."

"Annoying!" I almost shout. "I saved your life and let you call me by my childhood name cos you can't pronounce Heero properly and you say that I call you annoying?!"

My brother looked back at Hilde.

"He shouts at me a lot too."

Hilde crouched down to meet him at eye level and whispered something into his ear. Then she handed a piece of paper to him with her phone number on it.

"Hilde!"

She looked up at me.

"What?! The kid needs somebody he can turn to. It's so obvious that you frighten the heck out of him. You're just lucky that you didn't end up with a little sister."

"Hn."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"It means I'm going to take Duo to the office and get him enrolled now."

"I'm coming along too." Said Hilde.

"No, I can do this myself."

"Do you know how to handle Catalonia?"

I paused and shivered. Miss Catalonia was a freaky woman and no I didn't know how to handle her, especially when I was trying to enroll a weird younger brother who was crouched on the ground playing with the ants that lived in the cracks of the concrete floor.

"Alright you can come." I finally answered.

Hilde took Duo's hand.

"C'mon Duo. We're taking you to see the principal and getting you enrolled."

"Ok." Said my brother. He waved goodbye to the ants, who were trying to figure out why there was a stick in the doorway of their colony and followed Hilde.

Hilde took Duo to the office while I followed them. I took out a whole stack of papers when we entered the school office.

"I'd like to see Miss Catalonia. Its about a new enrollment." I said to a lady behind a desk.

"One moment please." The lady replied before disappearing down the hallway and into a room. After some time she came back out.

"Miss Catalonia will now see you." She said.

I turned back to Hilde. "You're not needed anymore. She only needs to see Duo and then we can go back to class."

Duo gripped onto Hilde's hand tightly

"No." he said. "Hilde comes with me."

The lady smothered a laugh.

I think I turned a bright red at that moment. It was Catalonia

"Heero Yuy is it? Your brother is truly and individual. Please come along, Miss Schreibker can come along too." Miss Catalonia turned to walk into her office and was followed by us three.
