CH 4: Inconsistencies

"Why'd you come here Duo?" I didn't want to answer, man I didn't want to answer, but I did. Thank you Mr. Barton for using Yuy as the subject for the test. I wasn't lying, but there were a lot of different truths. Heero only had a one track mind and I guess that's what we thought all the terrorists would have. Not me I had an ADHD overactive realm of intoxication.

"Money." I said blandly looking at Heero. The drug was fucking with the liquor making my body sway in less than a minute. By two my eyes were starting to close. I heard Heero's voice like a godly whisper.

"What is Zechs doing here?"

"Not him...all of us...trying for a better living." I sighed before his voice was just noise in my ears.

My eyes snapped open, I looked at the cuffs. I pulled a pin from braid and picked it in about a minute. I was mad as hell. If I wouldn't have been drinking I could have got out of the cuffs earlier. Fuck him for even using the cuffs. I tried to still my shaking body, tried to think in one of the few sober moments of my life. Fuck I have never been so pissed and I new Zechs left while I was strategically passed out.

Now it was even worse. Thought came in a blizzard. Snow flakes of memory blowing through a tundra of indifference. The drug really hand no side effects, but I knew I had to think this out. I went to the only thinking place I had taking the goose with me and the fifth of Walker. I slammed the door to my entertainment room locking it hitting play on the system. I knew the cd, it was one of the few with a name on it and how it fit. Assemblage 23, Contempt.

I sat back while the beat infected my head. The subs shaking every surface surrounding me. I wanted to run up stairs and tear Wufei's head off. I wanted to run down and tell Manny of the deception. My fist tightened around the bottle. Just Heero or Fei I could handle, but both shit. My mouth creased at the sides as the song began to play. How it fit them. Fucken cowards. Light flooded the room and my head spun to the door.

Heero was on the ground gun aimed at me. I couldn't help but laugh. I didn't even hear the fucker so much as knock or bust open the door. The system was good as hell. Heero stood by the door realizing there was no threat nor that I was going to talk to him as I took more of the bottle of goose. He bent the door back with the butt of his gun and closed, but didn't move too far from it. Heero said something. I turned to him.

"What?" He spoke again I only heard Assemblage fighting against him.

"What?" I said again.

"Wufei wants to speak with you." Heero was lucky to get in between songs cause fuck that I would never turn my shit down.

I laughed as the bass rattled the room again. Flippin Heero off with both fingers as I rubbed the sleep out of my eyes. "Meltron's comin on."

I stood changing it to my favorite song Alles Von Dir. Standing, letting the beat take me for a dancing walk to certain death grabbing the rest of the goose. Gotta be fucked up for this.

I followed Heero walking out trying to lock the half busted door.

"Dude my neighbors are gonna freak." I said smiling at Heero who glared at me.

"No one lives within five floors of you."

"That's now, but when they do."

"Ill fix it."

"Fuck that you ain't goin near my shit." We got in the elevator and my mind turned cold. The alcohol not having me forget quick enough. "You're a fucken dick."

"I did what I had to." Heero's voice it's usual cold, his back to me.

"No you did what some one told you to do." I glowered at him. "And don't even think I'll believe it was Zechs."

Heero dared a glance at me. My fist clenched with my teeth. I wanted to take his ass down. The elevator jolted to a stop as I was about to go for him. And guess what.

"You are such a god damned whore." I grumbled to the elevator as I opened the doors with my patented wire tweak. Heero walked in front of me. Head high, black hair tousled every which way. I hated him.

"What's up Big D?" I heard Manny say. I couldn't see him. Only Heero. Something about being so close to him in the elevator and hearing Manny sent me on a path. The path solidified in my mind as my fist connected with the back of Heero's head. I didn't hit him hard enough to knock him out. Only sprawl him on the ground. I lost it then. A mass of kicking legs.

"Now what you fuckin dick? Can't get me with me with my own cuffs now, you fucken bitch!" My hands held me on the wall as I hunched over him kicking with all my might. Manny tackled me to the floor. I got one strained half kick on him as Manny pinned me.

"He won't take this from me." I growled under Manny's weight.

"Big D just relax. It's cool." I could feel his movements he nodded for Heero to leave.

"Fuck that and fuck him. You wanna leave go, go back to earth with you fucken little groupie Fei cause you got nothin here. You both `re a fucken joke. I don't believe any of your fucken helper shit. Just get the fuck out of here!" He was so lucky Manny was holding me down and soothing my anger. Manny put his hand over my mouth.

"Duo your fine. Come on man. Just relax. There's a heap of work to do when you get to hell and Donny j and Gabe are gonna met ya. So just chill. Gabe's already got the beer and J's got the pussy ass Johnny Walker and you know me always got the moon shine." He held the flask to my nose letting me sit up and take a drink. I handed the flask back to Lil Man as I looked at Heero's now sitting form. He was looking at me. Blood dripping from the corner of his mouth and eye. Bruise already forming on his cheek.

"Don't even look at me." I snarled taking a drink of the Johnny Walker I pulled from my pants. "Dick" I mumbled into it as Manny pulled my thoughts away and to the day I missed. Told me of Cindy bein pissed at him. Gabe and Harry's fight of who I would fuck first. Donny j and Julies argument over how much he drinks when he's with us. And the Ripper laid into him when I wasn't there. We talked and drank and drank and talked. I had almost forgotten what happened until I heard Wufei's growl of disaproval, which was always directed at me. At least he had a reason this time. I turned towards him. He was looking between Heero and I, a small appearance of shock on his face. Wufei gaze remained on me and I swear I was all fire. He took in a deep breath to speak.

"Don't even start on me man or you gonna end up just like Heero." Wufei quirked an eyebrow.

"Trying to act innocent. Please. Dude I already know you guys just wanted me out of the way and that..."

"So you presume to know everything. Heero told me the methods he used to get you to rest. They were a little extreme, but for your case they were necessary. Zechs asked that you take a day off and so I made sure you did."

"Ha you expect me to believe that shit." I said rising to my feet. "Yeah Zechs wanted me out of the way." I walked up to Wufei and got in his face. "Fuck you." Wufei's eyebrows furrowed and he turned on his heel and walked from the room before I could begin talking more shit.

"Then I will prove to you it was Zechs who asked follow me." I clamped my mouth shut following him starting to get a little nervous. What if Zechs really wanted me to take a day off. What if I was just being paranoid? Damn this would make me look bad. Wufei stopped walking and I surveyed my surroundings. The room was large as the living room area, same marble walls and floors and massive vaulted ceiling and archway doors. There was a massive desk the color of shadows sitting at the far end. Papers were scattered like snow in the night sky. Wufei pointed to one of the two black leather chairs that sat in front of the desk. I took it and stared up at his form half blending into the desk. He hit a button on some box. I heard static then a buzz then...

"Wufei has something happened." Zechs voice was almost clear, a wave of static every once in awhile, but not enough to distort it.

"Maxwell decided to take some of his pent up aggression on Yuy, but he will be fine. The only problem that needs to be addressed is for you to explain to Duo that it was in fact you who ordered us to force Maxwell into a day off."

"That isn't true Wufei." Zechs began and I jumped in.

"Yeah what now you fucken liar did you really think Zechs would lie for you. Fuck that, you two are.."

"Duo!" Zechs snapped. I bit my lip looking to the box. "In fact Wufei was telling you the truth though I ordered you to take the weeks I am gone off. I know you are not capable of staying out of trouble and with you stuck in your room no one would know of my absence. Wufei and Heero talked me into making it only a week. I agreed and let them pick which week."

"But he handcuffed me and drugged me and I didn't get to.."

"Duo I don't have time to hear your complaints. I know it's difficult for you to see Heero again. I know how you felt about him and I'm sure you are uncomfortable within his presence." My face was burning. I looked at Wufei who raised an amused eyebrow at me.

"That has nothing to do with it." I yelled trying desperately to cover my ass. "I know these two are here for some other reason. I don't believe they just want to help you. I think there here to sabotage or investigate or something. Zechs you gotta hear me out. You used to be a soldier, do you actually believe they could change cause I don't."

"Perhaps what you say is true or perhaps not. It is too late now, but I believe if you and I can change why not they. I must go, but Duo please stay out of trouble. I do not want Wufei to have to contact me again or you will be put into a holding cell until my return."

"But"

"I mean it Duo. That means you can not fight with anyone. You can yell, but if you hit anyone unprovoked, unless they strike you, Wufei will put you in the dungeon. Do you understand."

"Yeah yeah."

"And Wufei."

"Agreed I will tell Heero to watch him also." Static filled the room and then everything went quite and I was stuck looking at my shoes. So it was all in my head then. Damn. Damn. Damn. I raged in my head. I just needed to prove they were up to something.

"Duo will you take this week off willingly or does it have to be complicated." I'll show you complicated you piece of shit...what I really wanted to say.

"Yeah." I said with a heavy sigh. "I'll go willingly." I stood up not meeting Wufei's eyes and shuffling towards the elevator shoulders slumped. I stopped in the entrance room noticing Heero still on the floor. I held a hand out to him. He looked at it then me. I turned my face from him.

"Sorry." I said blandly. He took my hand and I helped him stand.

"You've gotten stronger." I looked at him.

"Why didn't you fight back?"

"I deserved it." he said blandly. I couldn't help but smile. Only Heero would let himself get the shit kicked out of him because he deserved it.

"Yeah you did." I smirked walking to the elevator. Manny was standing next to it staring at me. We both walked in and the doors shut.

"And?" I fell against the wall defeated as Manny hit the button to my floor.

"And I have an overactive imagination I guess. Zechs ordered me to have a week off and Yuy and Fei got to chose the week. They chose this one. Zechs told me I had to listen to em or I'd be put in a cell till he came back and that if I fight again I'll be put in a cell."

"So yer tellin me ya probably gonna end up in a cell." I smiled up at Manny.

"Pretty much."

"Did Heero really drug you."

"Yeah, but he did have to otherwise I would've been down there. I still don't trust em though. I just got this feeling. You know." The elevator opened and we both walked out. I walked passed my room and into the entertainment room.

"What happened here." I had to laugh as Manny tried to close the door and it kinda bounced back.

"Ah yeah Heero thought I was in trouble so he busted down the door. That solder shit is ingrained in him ya know."

"Yeah ya told me, but damn I can barley bust one of these doors down. Shit for someone so small it's hard to believe he's so strong."

"I'm tellin ya if he woulda been a normal guy he would have some broken bones and be all fucked up. I was kickin him hard as I could."

"Damn" Manny sighed fallen on to the couch I kicked on the music turning it down to a low thumping and turned on the Box.

"Wanna play?" I turned to Manny.

"Naw you go head got anything to drink."

"I think I might have some scotch left."

"Ha, well ya do now." I turned to see Manny holding a bottle of vodka and another of gin.

"Where the fuck did you get that?"

"Oh, why you were talkin to Zechs and Chang, `arry stopped to help Heero, who refused then asked me if I needed anything. I didn't, but figured you would. So here ya are." I grabbed the bottles from him.

"I suppose you're gonna help me drink em tonight too."

"Shit I ain't got nothin else to do. Hm `old on." Manny picked up his walkie talky. "Donny j you read me."

"Hey Lil Man where ya at?"

"Big D's room you should come up."

"Huh, shit why not ain't nothin goin on down here."

"Get Gabe up here too. Man we can play some cards or some shit."

"Hell yeah, be there in a few minutes. Donny j out." I nodded at Lil Man.

"I'll grab the cards from next door." I said turning off the Box and going next door. I checked in my fridge and I really was out of everything but coffee. I laughed as I shut the door. Damn I'm gettin lazy as fuck don't even got food except a couple of bags of rice in a cupboard somewhere. I walked back into the room throwing the cards at Manny. Manny looked shocked for a minute then he grinned. I stopped then felt it. I closed my eyes shaking my head.

"What are you doing here Heero?"

"Wufei told me to watch you."

"You gotta be kidding me." I sighed turning around. His bottom lip was a little swollen on the right side and he had a small blue smudge adorned with a cut above his right eye. "So your gonna be tagging along with me until Zechs gets back, do I have it right?"

"Affirmative." Heero was being solder boy again.

"I should kick your ass."

"Zechs gave orders for you to follow, and I will insure they are not broken." I held a fist up in front of his face snarling at him.

"You are so lucky." I dropped my fist and sat on the floor across from Manny grabbing the vodka. "Well if you're gonna be around me at least pretend you have a personality. This ain't the war no more and I ain't dealing with one word answers and the stoic solder. Your on my turf of grubby ass mechanics who got mouths fouler than any fucken sailor and dirtier than any skank."

Manny laughed at that.

"And with Duo hornier than any bitches on the corner ." I turned to the door.

"Oh I could take care of the poor dear."

"Gabe I see ya brought your better half. How'd you get out of there?"

"I have my ways with Mr. Wufei." Gabe stopped turning on Harry.

"What's that suppose to mean." Harry lightly slapped Gabe on the check.

"Nothing." He kissed Gabe. "I just told him I wanted to check on Duo. You know you're the only man I need, well unless Duo wants to join us." Harry intoned looking at me before he and Gabe laid into a passionate kiss.

"Hmm. That's just what I wanted to see. Manny told me we were playing cards and instead I see were haven an orgy again. I mean seriously guys, just tell me the truth next time."

"Aw but if we did you wouldn't come." Manny replied. I was just laughing my ass off.

"Hey `arry what's in the bag." I said noticing the large bag he held.

"Oh I got some treats for you guys." He pulled out 3 bottles of wine and another vodka bottle. "I also brought some food for you chaps to nibble on. I'll go next door and set them up."

"Eh, uh I don't really have much in the way of dishes since ya know it's just me."

"Mm I'll make due. Don't you worry about me love." Harry finished giving Gabe a quick kiss before he left.

Donny j took a seat next to Manny on the couch and Gabe sat on the floor next to me. Manny pulled out the cards and started shuffling them.

"What are we playing." Heero said coming to sit on the other side of me. I glanced at him out of the corner of my eye.

"Ho, what up Hee-man." Gabe leaned over me slappin Heero five.

"Nothing, just keeping an eye on Duo." Heero said with some life in his voice, the bare minimum, but better than nothing.

"Anyways how bout some poker guys, since we ain't got money we can bet drinks." Everyone grunted in agreement. I grabbed one of the wine bottles.

"Shit been awhile since I drank this shit." I grabbed the corkscrew Harry left and opened it while Manny dealt. I took a gulp from the bottle. "Not bad." I said wiping my mouth. Heero snatched it from my hand as I was attempting to read the lable.

"Duo, everyone knows you can't read." Heero said as he took a drink from the bottle. I was surrounded by contagious laughter and had to give in. Even Heero was laughing.

"Shut up Hee-man, I was doin good at pretending till you got here. Now give me back my wine." I went to grab it and Heero held it just out of my reach.

"What are you doing? Get your own bottle." I stared at him for a minute. I swear there was something in his eyes some spark of life. I shook my head grabbing another bottle.

"Maybe you should rethink this whole personality thing Hee-man. It's starting to get on my nerves." I laughed pulling the cork out.

"Jesus you two are almost as bad as Gabe and Harry, gonna start making out next." Donovan threw in. I glared at him.

"Hey are we playing some cards or what?" Manny growled. We all grumbled picking up our cards.

We played hand after hand the drinks increasing exponentially, not that it really mattered since we all were drinking throughout the whole game anyway. Even Heero with his one wine bottle which he finished by the second hand. Harry brought in a vegetable plate and dip, pretzels and some crackers with cheese. Where he found all the dishes I haven't got a clue. All I knew is that he got a hold of Julie and Cindy. They came in to sit next to there respective mates and the game was pretty much over then since the five of us had finished 4 flasks, 3 bottles of wine, 2 vodka bottles and we were working on the gin. Yeah we were smashed. The girls all laughed as we told stories about all the shit we fucked up in this place, some on purpose a few accidentals.

"You know sometimes I miss the war." a hush fell over the room. I looked over at Heero. He had a whimsical smile on his face. I don't think I ever saw this much emotion from him. Man I should of got him drunk awhile ago, though he didn't really drink as much as the rest of us. It ain't like I even know anyone who can keep up with Donny j, Lil Man, Gabe, and I cause when we drink, there's a 90% chance you ain't gonna remember most the night.

"It's more Wing I miss and the comradery we had then." I felt a smile creep over my lips. It had been awhile since I'd talked about the war and Deathscythe.

"Yeah I do miss Deathscythe." My hands came up to invisible controls. "Doggin Ozies and alliance left and right. Never knowin if this was gonna be the last battle. I could have done with out the whole gettin caught a couple of times though and almost dying when they turned off the o2 in the lunar base. Ha, and your ass almost killing me multiple times." Heero punched me in the shoulder.

"Hey, I didn't shoot you. If I remember correctly at our first meeting you tried to kill me."

"Yeah too bad I only got your arm. You're lucky that stupid bitch saved ya. And after you fucken destroy Deathscythe and Wing, I save your stupid ass from that fucken hospital. Then your crazy ass jumps without releasing your shoot. To thank me for all my damn trouble in dealing with your melodramatic moody ass, you go and steel parts from Deathscythe." Heero burst into laughter.

"I forgot you saved me. I was too busy thinking off all the times I had to save you. Some how you always got yourself in trouble."

"Yeah, but I took out as many of those motherfukers as you."

"Actually I think in close combat with the gundams you took the most kills. The only reason I have more was the blaster."

"That was one fuck all of a gun and system. Man Zero was some fucked up shit." I started to laugh. "No wonder you were the only one who could use it since you're all fucked up all ready."

"I'll give you that. I wish we could fight in those one more time. I would enjoy a fight against Deathscythe and you."

"Hell yeah, you know I'd beat ya in a second. Wing may have been more powerful, but me and Deathscythe are quick and reckless." Heero and I laughed.

"How many people have you killed Duo." Julies voice was quite. It fit her petite form. Her too wide innocent blue eyes and shining blonde locks.

"700-800 or so." I shrugged.

"700 people." Manny sighed.

"No. 700- 800 thousand." Heero corrected.

"Hey it was war. Us or them. We did what we had to. You know after all that shit I'm here. Somehow that seems fucked up no."

"Well everything about you is fucked up Big D." Gabe laughed. I opened my mouth to argue, thought for a minute, then shrugged nodding.

"My God, how did you survive without losing all your humanity?" Cindy asked. She was heavier set. A good full figured woman. Her dark curly hair pulled back from an inviting face.

"There was five of us. We balanced each other out, well once we got together. Quatre was the compassion and the best plotter of missions. Wufei always reminded us why we were fighting with all his justice shit. Trowa was the best backup and at infiltration. Hee-man here was good at self destructing and being obnoxious." Heero laughed then.

"No Duo obnoxious would've been you. Only person I knew who could kill 20 people and jump out of his gundam telling jokes. He was good at reminding us there was life outside of war. He was also good at breaking in hacking and escaping without a trace. Although there were many times I almost killed him for his incessant talking. I swear nothing could make him shut up when he started up."

"And I did it to annoy the crap out of one word, hell not even a word, one grunt answer boy. Ha. Heero was the guy who always kept us focused on the mission. That's all he was made for, the mission. He would let anyone die even himself just to finish the job. Although there was a bunch a times he was suppose to kill me for being a liability, but, aw, Hee-man had some emotion after all, every once in a great, great while."

"You were lucky I was lazy."

"Don't try to hide it." Heero grunted and rolled his eyes at me. "Perfect example of how he used to be all the time." I said pointing at him and looking around. My smile kind of wavered as I saw the wide eyed stares of the others completely engrossed in our conversation. Manny was looking away since he already knew from earlier talk. Harry was laughing and I figured it was because he had heard Zechs talk about the war. I guess the others never really thought of me killing a bunch of people.

"How'd you deal with him?" Harry pried.

"Oh not well. I'd babble and babble until we'd end up just beatin the crap out of each other. The others new we didn't really get along, but we made a kick ass team. Plus Tro and Q-man worked well together and I mean real well weather it be a mission or on each other. Ya know and Wufei. Uh man. You get paired with him it's justice that justice this and when he's mad everything is unjust. Urg. Man at least I had a ton of shit to talk about."

"Yeah too much."

"Hey I was compensating and I had a lot to compensate for." I said half smirking.

"What are you trying to say Duo?" Heero's voice taking on a more serious tone.

****Mwaahahahaha****

D: Man I never get sick of beating your ass `erro"

HD: Hell yeah that was good times

D: Huh yeah been awhile since I seen Wufie get takin down that bad

HD: He's actin like a pompus bitch. I had to do it.

D: That's cool then you won't mind this. (wacks HD with HP half)

HD: AH what the Hell. You are so gonna die Duo. (D beating HD like a he's wrestling in a hardcore match.)

D: Now you'll think twice before firing my ass.
