// = Thoughts

"Quatre, don't be mad at me! Come on, it's, Q, it's for your own good! What am I gonna have to promise to get you to speak to me again?" Duo pleaded with the still silent blond.

It was now Thursday evening, almost four days since Duo had dragged Quatre out of school, almost four days since the last time Quatre had spoken to him. Duo had called Howard on Tuesday morning to inform him that nether himself or Quatre would be attending school that week. Quatre had not been amused to find that Duo was not allowing him to attend school until his business had been completed, or until he had at least identified which gangs were in the area.

"Come on, Q, I'll do anything! Just speak to me!" Duo begged the stubborn blond.

"Anything?" Quarter asked, acknowledging Duo's presence for the first time in three days.

"Anything! Just name it!"

" I want to go back to school, starting from tomorrow, and I want to attend the meetings you've got with the other gang leaders." Quatre demanded.

"No Fucking way! Q, do you know how dangerous that could be?! No way! Not in a million Fucking years!"

*Friday morning, twenty minutes before school starts*

// I cannot believe I agreed to this! How the hell did he get his own way again! I have so gotta learn how to say no!// Duo inwardly groaned, glaring half-heartedly at the smug-looking blond walking next to him.

"Quatre" Duo began.

"I know. Do not talk to them, do not work with them, do not cause any trouble what so ever. Do not leave school without you; do not go near anyone who looks as if they could possibly be part of a gang. I know Duo." Quatre smirked at his friend's defeated glare. Quatre always got his way. Always. It was just a natural gift.

" Duo, stop worrying! I'll meet you after school by my locker, ok? I'm gonna go to the library at lunchtime to try and catch up on some of the work you made me miss, ok Duo? I'll see you later." Quatre smiled, walking away.

// He ALWAYS doses that! I have so gotta learn how to do that!// Duo muttered darkly to himself, turning to walk towards his next class.

*History class*

"So, we're all gonna go and check out that new club tonight, right? This is so cool, we're finally gonna get a half decent night club round here-QUATRE?!" Sally exclaimed, catching sight of the petit blond, sitting at the back of the classroom.

"Hey, Sally, Wufei, nice to see you." Quatre replied, allowing Sally to hug him.

"Where have you been all week?!" Sally asked, standing up.

"Nowhere in particular." Quatre replied.

"So why were you off?" Wufei asked.

Quatre just made a face, making Sally laugh.

"Finally let you off your leash did he?" Wufei asked, smirking.

"He's just trying to look out for me. He's a bit overprotective at times, but normally he's a really nice guy." Quatre defended his friend.

" You want to hang out later? Or aren't you allowed to talk to us?" Sally inquired.

"I am not allowed to: Talk to, work with, associate with, or leave school grounds with any of you. So I am speaking to you, technically, you spoke to me first, you decided to associate with me, and I am not leaving school grounds yet, so technically, I'm not breaking my promise."

" You're quite sneaky for someone who radiated innocence!" Sally laughed, ruffling Quatre's hair. " So, you gonna come with us later or not?"

"Sure, I've got nothing better to do."

*Duo, in library, free period*

"Humph! Stupid, dumb, angelic-looking, he-demon," Duo was muttering darkly to himself, looking along the rows and rows of books, trying to find a book, any book, on death, decapitation, or vampires. Not looking where he was going, Duo turned the corner sharply, still muttering, and went head first into someone.

"Sorry" Duo mumbled, Picking himself up, before glancing down at the figure he had bumped into.

"Your Quatre's friend, aren't you?" The boy with deep Prussian blue eyes asked, standing.

"Yes, why?" Duo snapped, glaring.

" He said you were a nice person. Overprotective, but nice. He is a loyal friend. He wouldn't even tell the others your name. My name is Heero. Heero Yui. You are?" He asked the slightly startled, confused looking violet-eyed boy.

"I'm Duo, Duo Maxwell." Duo replied quietly, looking into twin smouldering Prussian blue orbs.

// Wow, he is hot! I wonder if he's got a boyfriend…wait, no! What am I thinking?! For all I know, he could be in one of the local gangs! Stay focused, Duo! You know nothing about him….except he is totally hot! Urg!!! I'm getting nowhere here! Huh? Why is he looking at me like that….Oo, I think he must have asked me a question….why the hell am I still talking to myself?!//

"Huh?"

"I asked you if you were doing anything this evening?"

"Oh. I sorta have stuff I have to do, but it shouldn't take long!" Duo blurted out. //what the hell am I thinking?!//

"Would you like to go out with me this evening? I heard that there is a new club opening tonight, The Seventh Domain or something like that. A group of us are going there tonight. I've got some `stuff' to do as well this evening, but it should not take very long, either. And you needn't worry about your friend, Quatre, either. I believe my friend Trowa has taken a liking to him. He is a very protective kind of guy. So, would you like to go out with me?"(I know, Heero is talking way too much!) Heero asked.

"Um, yea, sure. I'll see you there? At about nine?" Duo asked, hesitantly.

"My business should be complete by then. I will see you there, Duo." Heero confirmed, turning and exiting the library.

//what the hell have I just gotten myself into? Please tell me I didn't just agree to go on a date with him? And I was worried about Quatre!// Duo groaned, turning back to the shelves, continuing his search for a book.
