// = Thoughts

Duo had been silent throughout their journey back to their apartment, ignoring Quatre's apologetic looks. Slamming the door behind Quatre, Duo stormed over into the living room, motioning for Quatre to sit down.

Duo pulled out his mobile, calling Howard to explain why both he and Quatre would not be attending classes that afternoon.

Sighing, Duo threw himself back onto one of the black leather armchairs, facing Quatre.

" Explain."

Quatre looking as it he was on the verge of tears, quietly answered "I-I met two of them in history; Sally and Wufei. Th-they were really nice. Sally came over and asked if I'd sit with her and Wu-Wufei. They even said I could join their group for history. Then they said that they'd introduce me to their friends. Duo, They were really nice! They're not like-"

"Quatre, I don't want you getting hurt. Promised you I'd look out for you, and I will." Duo sighed, looking up at Quatre.

"Look, Q, it's not like I don't want you to make friends. It's just that I've got some business and stuff going on down at the club over the next few weeks. It you really like these guys so much, I'll have the others do a background check on them or something.

Until then, though, I don't want you to sit next to them, talk to them, or work with them. You got that Q?"

"But-"

"Q?"

"Yes, Duo"

"Look, kid, it's for the best. I'll help out with your missed word and stuff."

Seeing Quatre looking so down, Duo sighted again, putting his arm around Quatre.

// Why do I always end up looking like the bad guy?!//

" Quatre, I'm sorry. It's just… look, Q, you know that club that's opining this Friday, The Seventh Domain? You know that that's my club, right? Well, some of the people I introduced you to before,"

" You mean the ones from The Black Widow Spiders, Red Phoenixes, and White Tigers?" Quatre asked, timidly.

"Yea, they're the guys. And you know what they do, don't you, Q?"

"Yea, they're all gang leaders."

"That's right, Q. And you know that I don't belong t any of those gangs, and nether do you."

"Sort of. You do business with them though don't you, Duo?"

"Yes. I let them have meeting in my clubs and stuff. Remember Dranzer*, Drigger**, and Black Widow Spider***? They told me that there's another gang or two already around here. They're doing a bit of research for me. Until they've found out who's in these gangs, and exactly which gangs they are, I don't want you around people I don't know if we can trust. It's for your own good, Q"

" Do you know what gangs it might be? You think that they guys who….who…."

" Until I get word from the others on whether or not it could be them, I'm not taking any chances."

" Do you know what gangs it could be?"

" We think that there's two or three gangs already around here. I've only got one name so far, though. The Black Rose."

"The Black Rose? Are they a scene gang then?" Quatre whispered.

"We don't know yet, Q. why. Have you heard anything about them?" Duo asked, sternly.

"No-no, Duo, I haven't."

"Ok, then. I've got to go down to the club late, Kat. You gonna come?"

"Maybe." Quatre whispered, not noticing when Duo left the room.

// Could it be them? Could they be the one's who…who…. No. They would never…would they? How well do I really know them? Sally and Wufei don't seem like the type to…Trowa and Heero wouldn't…Would they?//
