And now.... *drum roll* OUR FEATURED PRESENTATION!
*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*_*
Duo drove into the late afternoon and in the country side, taking in views and the top cover of his car was off. The wind blew by him as he drove in the almost empty road. His eyes scouted for a certain area that would find him someone, a certain someone he would love. His violet eyes traveled over sections of towns for that certain area, for that certain place.
Then he spotted the place out of the corner of his eye.
This area was a real life treat. The club entrance burned into Duo's memory as he was given a parking spot for his motorcycle underneath the club building itself by a a very attractive young lady wearing a medium dark blue skirt and a loose strappy black tanktop. Atop her head was a sexy black hat that had the word 'Valet' printed in white block letters. She handed him a ticket and grinned, as waved her arm towards the elevators that lead up to the club itself while she waved two cars aside.
He parked his black motorcycle and stepped out of the vehicle. In his hand was with his ticket, which was to be shown in at the front entrance of the club and around his shoulders was a light leather black jacket, unzipped.
He smiled to himself and locked his ride up with a click of his keychain. From there, he proceeded towards the elevator, that'll hopefully, take him to the part of his life he wanted... and did not have.
His ride towards the main floor of the building was quick and painless, not to mention extremely courteous. This club was NOT a normal club; it had dancing of all kinds, formal, semi-formal, ballroom, you name it, they got it and do it. The techo dance club was on the top of the building and covered the top three floors of the building, but he arrived on the main floor instead. A shy, around her late teens girl approached him when he stepped out onto a velvet floored area.
"Hello, welcome to the International Dance Club of Erotica," she bowed slightly and smiled. "You must be Duo Maxwell, an American and in your late teens. I shall be your 'find partner'. I have been expecting you and I hope that I can be of service to you."
His smile dimmed slightly as he asked her, "Yes, thanks, but do you know where my old find partner is? Shen? And what's your name?"
Her face fell and her lower lip trembled. "Sh-she is not your find partner because she has moved and left us for the time being. She has left all the information about you in a file and she has chosen me to assist you." She bowed again. "I'm Lillith Koto and I shall only be no more than a friend to you. As your find partner, I will anything and everything in my power to be the best I can be."
Duo nodded back, his smile lightening up and relaxed. His old find partner was like his older sister. Find partners were supposed to be like family. Obviously, to the term find partner, each person that visited the International Dance Club of Erotica had a person that they were paired up with.
The person that was paired up with the visitor was paired up by personality and other factors. Money was NOT a factor, only the person itself. If the person was to return, their information was stored on a file by the club and accessed by the find partner. That person was to be their find partner until their job was fulfilled or when the person being accompanied didn't need their assistance anymore.
The partner themself went through a process that enabled them to provide the best assistance before being named a find partner. Their MAIN goal was to find a partner for whoever they were assigned to and with complete honesty. They were either male or female and ranged from all over the world. French, German, Italian and so on and so forth.
Lillith spoke up again. "It was rude of me to talk to you like I did in my previous matter. I should've of introduced myself, but I had to make sure you were Duo Maxwell," she carefully explained. He nodded, allowing her to continue. "My full name is Lillith Jeja Koto, I'm from Japan, but I have lived in United States of America. I am eighteen years old and I have graduated from high school and college. I took courses over the summer to complete college and have just completed my training to be a find partner. I speak in several Asian languages and in English. I await your plans, Mr. Maxwell."
Duo nodded and spoke. "Nice to meet you, as for your nickname..." she leaned forward. Every find partner had a nickname that the partner chooses, providing it was within limits and not offensive. Not to mention nicknames were very important, not only do find partners answer to that name, but also be used to communicate with the other when real names couldn't be used.
"How about I call ya Jeja? And don't call me Mr. Maxwell, I feel old! Call me, Duo, everyone does." Duo winked at her and offered an arm to her. "I'm going to the top floors, the techno dance floor number one for now; I'll travel on up as I get bored or whatever happens."
Jeja grinned and held onto his arm. "Hey, that's great. I love the techno floors! Have you tried the 'spinner'? It's one of the new add ons that the club has. It's a fun elevator ride that specifically goes to the techno floors. It's supposed to get everybody pumping, you know, dancing and into the groooove," she grinned.
"Awesome! Soo..." he winked at her. "Didja see any people that I might like...?"
Jeja smirked and gave him a thumbs up. "Yeeeep.... several...! I hope you won't be disappointed, hmmm?" she ernestly asked, with a hopeful face.
"Sure! Besides," he winked at her again. "I can work my mojo magic on them...eh?"
Jeja dissolved into helpless laughter and Duo joined her as they went into the spinner ride to the first floor of the techno area.
Duo stumbled out the spinner cycle, breathless.
"Woaah! Jeja! That's ONE spinner!" Duo sputtered, dazed still, as he stumbled out of the door. The room spun around and he quickly sat down on a chair to get himself in control.
Jeja joined him and giggled. "Yeaaaah! Spinners are pretty cool, they're so awesome to have fun in. So, let's see if those guys I picked out are still available or not, hmm?"
Duo regained his composure quickly and raised an eyebrow at her. "...still available...?" he questioned her as he stood up and pulled her up from her chair.
"Yeah, I picked out three or four guys that you might like. Some are quiet and some are nice and all of that sort, but they're pretty cute," Jeja rambled, while she waved her hands around.
Duo chuckled and stretched his body as Jeja watched admirably. Duo noticed this and cocked his head to the side, letting his long thick glittery braid fall over his shoulder.
"Whatcha looking at?" he smiled at her with his hands at his waist.
Jeja grinned and stuck her tongue out at him. "...just spying on one of the guys I spotted, well, actually, two of the guys..." she squinted her eyes and her hand found Duo's wrist. "I see them talking, they probably hooked up, buuuuuuut, I wanna make sure. Damn! I thought that you'd be compatable with them!" she grumbled over the loud techno music and walked over to two unknowns as she dragged Duo through the crowds of swarming sensual bodies.
As Jeja approached with Duo in the tow, she found the two guys she spied holding hands. 'Aww damn! They're together for god damn sure and this is supposed to be a serious assignment! This is... annoying!' She sighed sadly and smiled still.
'Well, I can still introduce them to Duo, I mean, what harm can that do? Duo needs more friends and it's sure as hell that I don't even know if I can bring Shen back to the dance club.' She swallowed her silent tears and gently released Duo's wrist.
She turned around and faced Duo with a happy go lucky grin. "Well, I guess these two guys I wanted you to meet already hooked up!" Duo laughed and grinned.
"It's fine, really. I'm in no hurry, there's plenty of guys out there and it looks like those two got really comfy with each other pretty quickly, eh? Well, let's go meet them!"
Jeja approached the two and bowed slightly, to show respect and to also show that she wanted to introduce partner to them. Only find partners can introduce their partners to other people and that was a rule that was strictly practiced.
The taller young man dipped his head down in courtesy and the smaller one smiled broadly.
"May I introduce to you, sirs, my partner Duo Maxwell?" she stepped aside and Duo stepped forward. "I sincerely do hope," she continued. "That you all will become well acqainted and perhaps keep alliances with each other outside of the club as well."
The taller figure's face held a small smile in return and held out a hand. "Trowa Barton, pleasure to meet you," his tener voice held itself well and felt soothing.
Duo grasped the hand and shook it. "Pleasure is mine, Trowa. Now who would this pretty person be, I wonder?" he winked at Trowa as he said it who in turn, winked back.
The smaller person giggled and held out a hand as well. "Quatre Raberba Winner, please, call me Quatre," he stated.
Duo shook his hand as well and nodded. "Will do, Quatre! Great to meet you and your friend. You DO, I must admit, make a striking couple. I am most certainly stunned by the brilliant feel of emotions that surround you both."
Quatre and Trowa blended with the other people dancing, but held a special bond. Their clothing somehow always matched in one way or another which was unique. Today, Trowa, was wearing loose khakis and a short green shirt with brown shoes. Quatre, on the other hand, wore loose black slacks and a red shirt with dark sandals.
Trowa spoke up. "So, find partner, what is your name?" he questioned.
Jeja did a quick pose and bowed. "Lillith Jeja Koto, find partner of Duo Maxwell. How can I make the acqaintance of knowing your find partners so that I can talk to them as well?"
"Certainly," Quatre replied. "Mine is Faye; you can identify her with her leather pants and tank tops. She doesn't wear anything else and has long blue hair. She's always with Vell, Trowa's find partner. Vell has dark green hair and amber eyes. He always wears black slacks and casual shirts."
"Aaa..." Jeja hissed in delight and clapped. "Well, then, we should be going, Duo? We're going to meet someone named Chang Wufei."
Trowa's eyes widened while Quatre's jaw dropped. Jeja noticed this and made a face.
"What's wrong?"
Trowa shifted his gaze to his glass of chocolate milk and spoke briefly. "Wufei is known more as man that still needs to let go of some things in his past."
Quatre nodded and replied, "Perhaps we can suggest someone for Duo. We have a friend that is a good man, nice, quiet, but in need of someone more than us.
Duo's ears twitched when he heard "some more than us".
"Saaaaay..." he slowly spoke. "Is he...?" he indicated by pointing at Quatre and Trowa, then back and forth rapidly.
Trowa caught on quickly and nodded. Quatre nodded shyly and pointed at the spinner ride.
"You'll need to go to the third techno floor by the spinner ride and look for his find partner, Eth. Eth has black hair and is extremely protective of our friend," Quatre stated.
Jeja nodded and whisked Duo away quickly as she called out thanks.
"Whoaa!" Duo yelped in surprise as his body gravitated closer to the spinner. "Where's the fire?"
"I see that the last person I had on my mind as a mate for you was the guy they're talking about. I must see Eth immediately before he finds someone else!" she rambled and nimbly closed the spinner door behind them.
"Third techno floor, going up! Please hold on tight and do not lean against the door." spoke the spinner.
The doors of the spinner popped open and the voice of the spinner spoke again.
"Thank you for riding the spinner! Watch your step and have fun!"
Duo stumbled out of the ride and slouched down on a nearby red sofa. He looked up and gawked at the scene in front of him.
Miniature bars were set up on the north and south sides of the area. On the east and west sides were karaoke corners with small tables set up at random for audience purposes. Waiters and waitresses whipped through the whole place, giggling and talking to many of the people there. In the center was a big dance area with stairs and with abstract balconies that overlooked the place.
Some of the stairs led up to the roof that overlooked the whole outside country side. His eyes followed the wide range streamers that stemmed from the high banisters and the psychedelic lights sprinkled out onto the floors. Dance music pulsed through speakers that hung from the ceiling and the smell of sexuality was heavy in the air.
Jeja's voice passed through his ears.
"Duo? Are you all right?" she lightly shook his shoulder.
He stood up and threw her a grin.
"Yeah, I'm fine. It seems like forever since I was last here. Whoaa, look at all those cute guys! Now, where is this guy you and the others were talking about?" he stretched body and limbered himself by doing some dance moves.
Jeja smiled and walked toward the farthest corner of the club by a miniature bar while Duo followed her.
They approached several figures at the bar, fingering little glasses filled with alcoholic beverages and small olives stuck on the sides while nodding to the rough music that whipped through them. A lady with dark red lipstick approached Duo and waved at him.
"Hey, honey," she murmured, with a smirk in her eyes. "Now where have you been?"
Duo's eyes brightened and immediately gave her a hug. "I'm doing great! Kess, you're looking more beautiful than ever." he winked at her.
He motioned for Jeja to come over and introduced them. "Jeja, this is a good friend of mine I haven't seen since the last time I was here. Her name's Kess and works around here. Kess, this is my new find partner, Jeja. Shen had to take a leave for reasons I don't know."
Jeja bowed down and shook her hand. "Pleasure to meet you, Kess. I hope I'm doing an okay job of being Duo's find partner."
Kess smiled sadly and ushered them to the bar. "Nice to meet you Jeja, you're doing a fine job. Have a drink you guys, it's on me," she went behind the counter and whipped up some clear liquid drink and added a shredded strawberry on top. "Here you guys had my special strawberry blast drink yet?" she winked at them. "It's favored heavily among the young'uns around here."
Jeja took a sip and immediately burped. Duo took a sip as well and burped. They looked at each other and then back at the drink. Kess fought to keep a grin from appearing, but it was a losing battle. So they burped and giggled every time they drank the strawberry blast drink.
Two figures approached the bar, a guy with jet black hair tied in a loose ponytail and another guy with dark messy hair.
"Two strawberry blasts please," murmured the guy with black hair as he sat down with the other.
Kess whipped up two more and handed them the drinks with a kiss aimed at them. "Enjoy the drinks, boys, and don't forget to burp."
Jeja finished off her drink with a burp and looked at the other two. There was something mighty intense with them; she felt a strong connection run into her blood and suddenly felt instant attraction to the one with black hair. Her eyes blazed wide open and she gripped her stool she was sitting on tightly.
Duo finished his drink off and watched Jeja suddenly go frantic. He turned his gaze towards the other figure that accompanied the guy with black hair. His eyes followed the lean figure of the body with appeal and his tongue unconsciously licked the bottom of his lip. His eyes met up with a pair of blazing blue eyes that struck him down and his body suddenly felt like it was quickly burned and reborn.
Jeja finally maintained control over herself and motioned for Kess to come over.
"Yes, honey, what can I do for ya?" she asked.
"Kess... by any chance, is the guy with the ponytail, is his name Eth?"
Kess made an amused face. "By golly, yes, he is. Wanna meet him?"
Her reply came rather quickly. "Yes! Very much so! I want to introduce my partner to his partner!" she gasped out.
"All right, I'll hook ya'll up, hmm? Just wait here and I'll be back in a jiffy!" she flounced over to the two guys and exchanged some words while the guy with the black hair looked back at them frequently. Jeja felt her body tense up immediately when she felt his gaze on her.
Duo looked over to Jeja with concern as he tried to control himself from being burned sensually again from the stranger.
"Jeja," he spoke. "Are you all right? Was it just me, or did you feel or sense something from those two?" he rubbed his arm as he spoke with a worried face.
She looked up back to him and shivered slightly. "I-I-I felt sudden attraction to that boy with the black hair. His name is Eth..." she trailed off.
Duo gave her a smirk. "Ah, I see... so... this is Eth, find partner of the friend of Quatre and Trowa... shall we go and meet them?" he rubbed his hands with delight.
"Yes, we shall," Jeja replied as she watched the other two approach them.
"Good evening," spoke the boy with the ponytail.
"Good evening to you and your partner as well," Jeja replied, staring right back at the unknown person.
"My name is Eth. I believe you're acqainted with Quatre, Trowa and Kess as well?" he questioned.
"Yes, we are. My name is Lillith Jeja Koto, please call me Jeja," Jeja spoke back and shook his hand to greet him.
"Kess said earlier," Eth replied quietly. "That your partner wants to meet my partner?" his eyes met up with Jeja's and their bodies gravitated closer together.
"Y-yesss..." came the reply from Jeja in a hiss as her body was only a foot away from Eth's body.
"Good, I also want my partner to meet yours are well," Eth stepped to the side and Jeja sidestepped him as well. The other person stepped forward and raised his face for all to see.
"Jeja, I want your partner to meet mine. His name is Heero Yuy and I have a feeling that your partner will go fine with mine," he stated, his eyes never leaving Jeja's.
Jeja replied back to him. "Nice to meet you, Heero. Meet my partner Duo Maxwell. I hope your feeling about our partners goes well..." she ended with a dreamy sigh.
Duo stared at the young man in front of him. A nice sculpted body with subtle curves wrapped around the figure with a tight black shirt and leather black pants. His eyes blazed darkly and his own eyes raised up to Heero's as to defy them.
"Pleasure to meet you, Heero Yuy," Duo stated and his hand went up to meet with Heero's.
"Likewise..." he replied with a glint in his eyes.
"Wanna talk somewhere else? Away from our find partners?" Duo asked him with a grin.
"Sure."
"Hey, Jeja! Heero and I are gunna check out the area around here and we'll come back down in a while! You have some fun Jeja!" Duo winked at her and went off with Heero.
Jeja blushed and looked at Eth. Eth smiled at her and offered her his arm. "Shall we, oh, I don't know, dance?"
"YOU BETCHA!" and they jumped into the dancing crowds.
Duo climbed up a broad staircase and opened a smaller door that lead up to the roof. He nimbly stepped out and helped Heero out onto the rooftop. The wind blew against Duo's long dark thick brown braid and his bangs whipped around his forehead.
Heero thoughtfully stared at Duo and his physique. 'He's lean, slender, but yet, I feel as if we're bonded in some way. He's ... beautiful...'
Duo turned around to see Heero clasp the door shut and approached him.
"So, how about we get to know each other? I'm Duo Maxwell, I like to eat, I ride motorcycles, black is my favorite color, I love this clubbing place and I feel drawn to you like gravity!"
Heero made a blank face. 'Whoaa, he talks fast... and alot! Hehehe... drawn to me like gravity eh? We'll see about that...'
"Nice to meet you. I'm Heero Yuy, I visit this area a lot and I also feel drawn to you..."
Duo grinned at him. "Really? I think you're pretty hot!" he felt his cheeks burn into a blush so he quickly turned around and looked out of the rooftop.
Heero smiled sadly and approached him from behind. He wrapped his arms around Duo's waist and brought his face close to his neck to nuzzle him. Duo melted into his arms and sighed.
"Mmm... this is... the life....." Duo mumbled incoherently and pressed himself against Heero.
"I want to mention one more thing..." Heero whispered.
"Yea?"
"I'm an assassin, my life isn't exactly easy nor is it well... if you don't want to.. I'll understand... Eth is an assassin too... he's here for the same reason as me... we both want someone to love us and everything..." his grip around Duo's waist loosened completely.
Duo turned his face around and looked at him, eye to eye.
"I'm fine with it and I think Jeja is too. I think, I think I'm in love with you. You're the part of my soul that I never had. Besides," he smirked for a moment. "I do a lot of undercover work myself..." he forced Heero's hands to go back to his waist and snuggled up to him.
Heero smiled and laid a kiss on his cheek. "Thank you so much, koi... you don't know how much this means to me... or Eth... but I want you to know something..."
"Yea?"
"About.. Shen..."
Duo turned around to face him, with Heero's arms around him still. "Shen? What happened? It seems like everyone is hiding something from me! Shen, she was like a sister to! God, I love her so much! Jeja is just as lovable, but... I know she ISN'T Shen... tell me.. what happened?!" his eyes began to tear up and he bite his lower lip to keep from crying.
Heero grimaced and held him tightly.
"Shen.. Shen was raped the day after... you left the club and... was left for dead..."
Duo's eyes widened considerably and wept on Heero's arm.
"Oh my GOD! No! Not-not SHEN! Never! I knew I shouldn't of left! But-but! She said I had to go!" he wept on and buried himself into Heero's arms.
Heero let a tear run down his face and hugged Duo tighter.
"Fortunately, Eth was around... he killed the person who raped Shen.... but Shen... Shen is in a coma in a strictly guarded facility.... Shen is our friend too..." Heero choked on the last word and continued. "She was a new member on our assassin team... bright, beautiful, she had everything, but she was ganged up on before Eth could join up with her when you left..."
Duo cried harder and kept mumbling under his breath, over and over. "All my fault, all my goddamn fault!! If I wasn't such a street rat and wasn't wanted and all that shit, she would've been safe! Son of a bitch! Thank god Eth killed that mother fucker! Or else...!" Duo bit his lip until it bled and hugged Heero savagely.
Heero patted his back in soothing circles and tried to comfort him. "It's.. fine... Quatre and Trowa and their partners, they're assassins as well.... we're all a team... we miss Shen so much... we fear her health... it's NOT YOUR FAULT!"
Duo sniffed and looked at Heero with sad eyes. "Well, at least... at least, we have each other... promise to stay with me? I swear, I'll do anything! Can I see Shen?? Please?!"
"Yes, we'll see her and bring all you have. You're gunna start a new life... with me..." Heero smiled at him and kissed him.
