Duo casually strolled down the street, eyes closing as he paused to take a deep breath of the air. Sometimes he just never paused to appreciate the peace he'd helped bring years before. He needed to do something today though, something different from his other walks. The day before had brought up someone he never expected to see again. He slowly moved to a nearby bench, closing his eyes to let the memory surface. He had to know what he missed. How he could have not seen that his love wasn't dead. He looked over each part of that horrendous day, and he just couldn't understand. He knew when his heartbeat stopped, then his breathing. He'd made them try for nearly and hour before the others pulled him away. He'd not left his side once! How was he here now?

Duo opened his eyes, slightly shocked when he immediately saw another pair of eyes. Sad eyes. It was another person he hadn't seen in far too long. It was his once best friend. "Quatre."

"You don't look happy anymore Duo." The blonde moved to the bench beside them, his expression pained as he watched his old friend. He wasn't trying to be cruel. Simply, for that one moment, Duo had looked lost, and Quatre had felt every second, removing his suprize over seeing his friend again. He had thought this might have been a mean joke from the remaining two of his comrades, to tell him Duo was in Tokyo.

"I'm happier that I have been in years, Quatre. Why are you here?" Duo looked at his friend, a grin quirking his lips, and his eyes more than a little wild, each new event was quietly picking at his remaining sanity.

"The others said they saw you. I was so happy you might be alive. Where have you been all this time?" Quatre reached out, holding Duo's arm in a silent plea.

"I have been dead Quatre. I have been what I always said I was." Duo moved his hand, placing it gently over the one on his arm. "I finally found a real life again Quatre. Please don't try to take it away."

"Couldn't you please come stay with me a while? I... We could get to know each other again!" Quatre tightened his grip slightly, feeling the still sharply defined muscles, Duo had never allowed to fade, against his hands.

"No, I have things to do already Quatre. I have no time for that. I have my life to get back to once I part from you here." Duo's voice was firm, and his slightly feral violet eyes met with Quatre's stunned turquoise.

"Why did you leave us Duo? I've missed you. Couldn't you please stay in contact with me now at least?" Quatre searched Duo's face, hopeful.

Duo merely shook his head, lifting a hand to his friend's cheek, then quickly leaning forward to brush a kiss across his lips. He was real. The kiss his reassurance to himself. "No. If you ever need someone to watch over you, you'll be able to find me. Until then, I have a dead man to catch. Goodbye my friend. It was good seeing you." Duo rose to his feet, then paused for a moment. "Shinigami lives." Then he walked away past a line of trees.

Quatre quickly rose to his feet and tried to follow, but Duo was far too fast. He was already gone.

Duo moved soundlessly amongst the trees, watching Quatre slump as he realized Duo was not going to be open to anymore conversation on this day. Duo had to smile a little as he saw that. He had known the little blond had cared, but he'd never known that he had so deeply. He wanted to reassure the taller man, but he simply could not with how things were now.

As Duo strode away he couldn't help a faintly amused look. He was the only person who'd never really grown any it seemed, well, aside from Heero. Heero... Duo allowed his thoughts to cycle back to that mystery as his feet led him down the street. He'd figure it out in time; there was no doubt in his mind about that. Duo turned off into a restaurant, and allowed himself to be led to a table. He didn't immediately pick up the menu; instead taking a few moments to look around to see what sort of place his feet led him to. It was a normal Japanese restaurant really, but it was the people who interested him. He was about to pick up his menu when his eyes caught sight of a pair of what looked to be boys near the edge of his vision. There was Heero. The boy with him was his teammate, Duo was certain, because he knew Heero would never go out with anyone else in soldier mode.

Having his thoughts clear of the panic he had shown since finding Heero alive, he studied each of them. Heero didn't look entirely the same now that he had a chance to better evaluate him. He looked fiercer; his eyes no longer blank of emotion but having a muted wildness much like his own. His hair was a bit longer too, in a loose fall to nearly his shoulders. Having filled his hungry eyes with the sight of his long missing beloved, Duo forced his attention away to evaluate the boy who was sitting with him. He didn't know the kid's name, but he did have to wonder. The kid looked Japanese, but he certainly didn't have the coloring of one. Blue eyes, blond hair, pale complexion, it was like he was their version of little Quatre.

He had to glance away as the waiter returned to his table, and he randomly picked something off the menu that he hadn't looked at. He looked back over toward the table holding to Weiss members only to see them leaving. He really hadn't expected to run across his old comrades today, and couldn't help but be amused when he considered the fact that at least one member of the house would have known.

"Brady boy, you must really enjoy my suffering to not warn me about these things." The murmur was a soft one as the braided man shook his head. He didn't continue to dwell over the situation though, because his food arrived with a quickness that he wished the places they'd gone during the war had had. Instead of wondering at the might have been, he shook his head and placed pay on the table. He needed to go catch up with a couple kittens.

Duo had waited until his lunch was boxed and bagged before leaving the Restaurant. He didn't rush out after the pair, instead calmly following after the two. This was how he ended up in the park, his violet eyes watching as the blonde tried to get Heero to play some sort of game. "That's not how you get him involved at all kid, not at all." Duo shook his head, meandering over to the pair, a faint smile on his face.

The blonde was the first to see him, his eyes widening as he recognized him. "Schwarz!"

Duo glanced over at the blonde, a smile lifting his lips then. "No, Duo. And what is it that you happen to be called?"

Heero moved a little closer, shaking away the blonde's hand when he tried to halt him. "He is Omi Tsukiyono. You are in Schwarz."

Duo nodded, his small grin widening. "Yes, but I am not Schwarz."

Omi looked from one to the other in confusion as Heero nodded, accepting the point. The barest shadow of a smile even crossed his face, further driving Omi into confusion. He'd never seen Heero with a smile.

"Your name is Duo. I will remember that." Heero tilted his head, showing his current teammate more emotion than he'd ever seen. "Do you remember me Heero?" Duo moved forward, eyeing Heero.

Heero shook his head. "No. I think I'd remember someone with hair as inconvenient as that. Especially in this line of work."

Duo shook his head on a laugh, breaking Omi from his stillness. "Of course. You never did seem to care for my hair while we were fighting. You threatened to remove it from my head often enough."

Heero's eyes widened slightly and he stared at Duo. "No, I wouldn't do that."

"So you told me after. What brought back the Perfect Soldier shell Heero? I thought you were all done being that way." Duo had moved closer, resting his hand against his cheek and ignoring Omi completely.

"This is how I have always been." Heero shook his head, but didn't feel the need to move away.

"No, it isn't. But I'll get you back, you'll see. Good bye for now Heero. See you around Omi." Duo grinned at Omi's silent fuming and spun away, quickly backing away out of sight. He knew Heero would be able to find him if he looked, but Omi wouldn't see him. The grin faded away the moment he left the sight of the pair and his head drooped slightly. He didn't know how he was going to fix that memory lapse that Heero had, but he'd see if the others had any idea.

When Duo returned to the safe house, there was definitely an expectant air to the others. They were even practically posing next to each other. Duo raised an eyebrow as he took in Nagi calmly doing his homework, Jei sitting next to him with only one knife in hand, while Schuldig sat across the table pointing out math errors with Crawford leaning over his shoulder. Duo immediately came to a standstill, taking in the homey scene with quite the dash of skepticism. He had never once seen these four act like this before in all the time he'd been here, so he wasn't about to take it at face value now. It only proved his theory as the door closed behind him and four sets of expectant eyes turned on him.

Ignoring the silent questions that were directed his way; Duo set his lunch back down on the counter. Glancing to be sure that yes, they were still staring at him like lost waifs, he turned around and started pawing through the bag, looking for the portion of the meal he wanted to eat first. "What are you guys waiting for me to tell you? I'm not a mind reader you know. I'm leaving that up to Schu babe."

Nagi turned a little in his chair, studying his homework intently as he tried to evaluate how Duo was feeling. If he was angry, or if he was just playing with them. It finally occurred to him that Duo never set aside a good meal to bitch someone out, and he was currently eating. "Duo? Where did you go?"

Duo's lips twitched as he heard the tactful, yet completely inadequate question. "Just went to the restaurant down the street and took a nice stroll through the park."

Jei, watching the entire interaction smirked as he caught the fact that Duo was indeed giving direct and truthful answers. He just wasn't telling them what precisely it was that they wanted to know. So instead of interrupting and making everyone's life easier, he crossed his arms, waiting his turn.

Schuldig, of course, jumped in next as though cued. "Alright, so you went to the park and a restaurant, who did you talk to while you were out doing that?"

"Potential client." Duo's lips twitched again with his amusement before he took another bite of his noodles.

Next turn went to Crawford. "First, who was it? Second, was that the only person you talked to?"

Duo gave a faint smile. "Quatre Winner, and no."

Crawford appeared to have taken over the remainder of the questions for the moment, though all of them were suprized to hear the Winner name as the person. They'd come back to that. "Who else did you talk to?"

"Waitress and a few others." Duo brought the final mouthful of noodles out of the container and turned after eating it, reaching for the next portion of the meal. He used his back being turned to allow a quick flash of a grin to cross his face before he turned back around to face them, back down to only a small smile.

"Who were the others?" Crawford smirked slightly to himself, he was having fun, even if Schuldig and Nagi looked like they were going to jump out of their chairs and throttle him if he didn't spit it out already.

"Heero and a kid named Omi Tsukiyono. Anything else?" Duo batted his eyes at the pair who were getting anxious and saw jaws drop. Good reaction.

"What did you talk about?" Nagi this time, homework now completely ignored.

"The waitress asked me what my order was and I told her." Duo took another bite of his food, dodging the question rather effectively.

"Okay, how about how did you get into a conversation with the Winner heir, and what did you talk about?" Schuldig the impatient cut off Nagi's forming question, plucking it from his head.

"Quatre was looking at me. He wanted to catch up, but I told him I had other things to do, and that he could find me if he needed me. He will, I know Quatre, he'll track us down soon enough."

"What did you say to god's warriors?" At last Jei spoke up, asking the only question that really mattered to him at the moment.

Duo paused then, a slow, wide grin crossing his face. "I told Heero that I would get him back."

To be continued.
