Chapter Two
Morning...a warm glow beckoning the arrival of rebirth
as the sun's sweetest kiss trickled through the tiny slits of the
aluminum blinds. The sun rises and life's eternal rays waking
comatose humans to wakefulness, calling all to bask in its
glory. The soft sound of an alarm clock is heard within the
spacious room of deco and cream with lavender coloring
and slow movements from the two humans, cuddling soundly
beneath satin sheets as a hand rose to cover ebony trimmed
eyes from the blazing intruder. The dark-haired man yawned;
sitting upright and raising both arms over his head, stretching
in routine that made him appeared childlike in nature.
Wufei rose groggily for the start of a new semester.
September...the month of new ideas for inspiring philosophers,
new dreams for incoming freshman and the occasional idiots...
those chosen few who are lost beyond recognition. Each
semester he prayed that he would have an excellent class...
students filled with creativity and ingenuity...a class that would
go beyond itself...even blessed with jokers and cutups. He had
been lucky for the past couple of years, discovering brilliant
minds within his Philosophy 101 class and stood proudly at
graduation to give well-deserved degrees for worthy students
since he was promoted to Dean of Ethnic Studies. Yes...a new
semester...the promising life of a educator.
He turned, looking down on his still sleeping husband hidden
beneath the extremely long masses of chestnut waves and
angelic features...such a beautiful visage laid before him...
in curled in jet black Ranma ½ pajamas. He shook his
head chuckling and then smiling, he gently leaning down
placing the softest of kisses on his sleeping beauty's
forehead. Running a hand through his ebony locks, he
proceeded out the bed to the bathroom for his daily ritual.
Duo was smiling in his sleep, caught between that place of
silken dreams and consciousness unaware of the gentle kiss
that Wufei just had giving him. He was having the sweetest
dream relaxing with his beloved. They were on the beach,
swimming in the Atlantic Ocean watching the sunset as the
waves glimmered and swayed against the horizon. It was
truly a magnificent sight. But something was peculiar about
this particular sunset as he watched the water reflect the
delicate colors of the setting sun...reds, browns, golds, and
violets...colors so much like him...as unusual as the
kaleidoscope of his life. The winds calmed and waves
settled...mirroring the horizon against itself...like an ancient
mirror created millions of centuries before the birth of time.
"Look, Wu-bear! A twin horizon!"
Wufei smiled at his soul's half, as he uttered no words,
thinking it was more romantic just watching the enchanting
show with along with his husband.
But as Duo continued to watch...the waves slowly swayed
and the reflection in the water changed. His eyes squinted
trying to focus on the image slowly appearing beyond the
surface. Eyes...light violet eyes...beautiful amaryllis eyes just
a tad lighter than his own, reflecting upon itself appeared
within the water. He shook his head confused thinking it
was only a figment of his imagination. But then the eyes
doubled...growing smaller...small wide eyes fringed with silky
chestnut lashes...child-like eyes, wide with wonder and
curiosity staring back at him.
There is nothing more beautiful than the eyes of a child...
such serene innocence...always intrigued with a new discovery.
Duo found himself smiling in spite of himself...though he and
Wufei didn't want children...secretly he loved them. He never
wanted a child to suffer the way he did...the way they all did
and that is why he felt so strongly to protect children. He still
remembered the way he tried to protect the children of
Maxwell Church...such a long time ago. But something jogged
him out of his thoughts. Silence. Complete silence. Duo felt a
dark shiver run up and down his spine. Being a gundam
pilot...he had gained a sense...a kind of foreboding...knowing
when something was going to happen to him. Similar to Quarte's
strange gifts yet...different somehow. The scene changed again.
He slowly looked over his shoulder, feeling someone watching.
He jerked around full circle and came face to face with the dual
set of eyes again...except the eyes were implanted on a face...a
dark form clutching another bearing the other set of eyes...two
shadowy figures staring right back at him. Under further
observation, Duo saw...it looked like the image of children.
Violet orbs filled with so much emotion and as he approached
slowly for a better look...they slowly closed. Tears began to
slowly trickle from the ducts, continuously flowing down
invisible faces.
"Hey...don't cry..." He found himself whispering toward
invisible bodies.
But Duo's words fell on deaf ears as the orbs reopened
slowly. The once violet eyes were now blood red, crimson
like rubies ravaged by the fires from the earth's core. Duo
stepped back in fear, terrified as crimson tears streamed
down their faces like a roaring waterfall. Loud moaning
slowly radiated within the darkness as the tortured voices
of children vibrated with the space...echoing their sorrow
within his ears. Innocent babies crying in pain accompanied
the sorrowful wailing, and the sounds became louder and
louder...until all Duo could do was cradled his head in agony,
screaming...pleading to be release from the pain!!
Wufei heard Duo's scream from the bathroom, racing back
towards their bedroom at lightning speed. Duo was sitting up,
franticly pulling long strands of chestnut away from his
terrified face. Sweat pooled down like buckets, soaking his
black pajama top to his body as glazed amaryllis stared
into space, dumbfounded from shock of the terrible vision.
Wufei called his name softly, caressing his back and his
lover blinked back into reality feeling warm strong hands
caress his face.
"Wu?!?"
"What's wrong, love? I heard you from the bathroom?"
Duo shook his head in confusion, rubbing the sleep from his eyes.
" I don't know. Just had the strangest dream..."
"Must be from that sandwich you had last night."(1)
Duo blushed in the tone Wufei uttered his statement and
started to giggle. "Uh...no...that type of "sandwich" would
not give me bad dreams."
"Well...I have to get to work...you know the routine."
Duo pouted, nodding his head and leaning forward,
placing his forehead against Wufei. "Have I ever told
you how much I love you?"
Chocolate eyes glimmered as copper lips grew into an
adorable smirk. His strong arms snaked around pulling
Duo closer. "Let's see..." he slyly began, "Was that before
or after I tied you up?"(2)
Chuckling, Duo gently bopped his husband on the head
as they both began laughing, and gently snaking his arms
around his neck pulling his closer. "So today you're going in
for your orientation and the meeting schedules. Couldn't
you just hack into the system and get them?"
Wufei smirked at his husband. Once a Gundam Pilot, Always a
Gundam pilot. "Duo...Don't you have a lunch date with Quarte
today? To discuss the new project?"
"Yeah...I have some ideas...besides Q-chan been bugging
me to visit. He needs a break from the kids anyway. Whoo!
29 kids...but they are so cute!"
"As long as they're his. He has enough for all of us." Wufei
replied while snickering. He glanced at the alarm clock and
gave Duo a quick peck on the lips. "Gotta go, baka..." he
replied lovingly. "I'll see you later tonight" and then he got
off the bed to continued dressing.
Duo gazed lovingly at his husband as he walked back into
the bathroom but then his jovial expression changed as the
mask dropped off like paper...he was still wondering about
that dream. But then he pushed the dark thoughts to the side
ignoring it. He had a whole day to think about other things...
more important things than strange dreams.
***Winner Mansion*
Quarte Raberta Winner-Barton was in his office, on the phone
doing business as usual. He was already up since six a.m. that
morning and very busy making various phone calls ranging
from charities to arraigning interviews for prospective nannies
for his children. Since his father's demise those many years ago,
he had the great responsibility of Winner Enterprises and various
businesses under his family's name. Being the only son was hard
work...especially if your last name was Winner. But he wasn't
concerned. He gazed longingly at his husband for fourteen
years as he was looking over various reports concerning
other impending projects. Trowa...His soulmate. Allah had
blessed him with that gentle soul. Trowa's silent strength
complimented his gentleness, being ever watchful over him
in anything he did. He pushed a button on his solid cherry oak
table and several screens appeared. Some of his elder children
were studying their lessons under their private tutors while
another screen displayed the younger ones in a heated game
of chutes and ladders. Even the Magnacs had finally gotten the
hand of the babysitting game as each one took a certain batch
under their tutelage, created a homemade daycare.
Rashid...the man sent by god to be his eternal guardian since
the day he was born. Rashid, one of the main men who stood
beside him, helping him through the great Gundam war and his
beloved assistant, was also in the room, cradling the newest
addition to their already huge family. Little Trotre' Trowa
Winner, an adorable baby boy with the prettiest sparkling
green eyes and flaxen blonde hair giggled watching his
parents work. Quarte made a silly face as his son, receiving
a gurgle in return. It seemed only yesterday though it was
just one month ago. It was on a visit to see Dlan Winter at
his workplace, Heero's boyfriend, at the Godsent orphanage
when he noticed one of the sisters bringing in a baby, barely
hours old. It must had been a blessing because the moment
Quarte saw him...his heart was stolen...stolen by a newborn
thief of hearts.
A smile crept on his face in memory of those early months.
The month of Duo's and Wufei's honeymoon was a revelation.
It was during this time that he got to know and enjoy Dlan's
company. It was amazing. The young man could pass as Duo's
brother and in some instances, reminded Quarte of his beloved
friend. He had invited Dlan over to join him and Duo for lunch
and Dlan had been delighted. He knew it would be kinda
awkward for the two...especially to talk since they both had
been with the same man but love has a way of changing a
person and besides friendship was always best shared. He
giggled to himself as he thought of all the secrets those two
could share. Besides...how else would he find out the juicy
details about the honeymoon!
Trowa looked up from his laptop, blinking at his blonde angel
as he stared at his leering face.
"Angel?"
Quarte blinked out of his hentai daze in total embarrassment.
" Oh Trowa!" he replied blushing. "Don't worry. I'm just anxious
to see Duo."
Trowa smirked, reading his husband's mind as he ran his
hand through his rusty unibang. "I hope they enjoyed our little
gift, angel...but I know you're dying to speak to him, ne?"
Quarte's face turned crimson as heck but he giggled in spite
of himself at his usually silent partner. "You are so bad."
And then he stuck his tongue out him.(3)
***Tenchi University, Wufei's office***
The first faculty council meeting of the semester was over
and Wufei strolled back to his office to prepare before the
orientation of his first set of classes would begin. He had just
stepped one foot into his office when he heard a familiar voice
screaming his name down the hall.
"Wufei-Kun!"
Ebony eyes squinted in recognition as flowing ash blonde hair
came into view. Gorgeous almond shaped green eyes smiled
cautiously at him as the man streaked to an abrupt halt...
standing only a few feet away.
"Velvet?"
Prof. Red Velvet Kuno smiled at his fellow faculty member
and friend. His apprehensive attitude was justified. The
expedition of "Venus" was a hit and the "Adonis and the
Angel" showing were still going strong throughout the universe.
Just one of the participants for his inspiration still wasn't too
thrilled neither towards his first collection nor with the end
result of it. Velvet sighed. It had taken him a while to work
up the courage to face him. He remembered it as if it was
yesterday...meeting and greeting prospective buyers for his
hard work and effort and then the threat of his untimely demise
by said dark-haired ex-gundam pilot before him. He had been
terrified to see Wufei after that, knowing full well how strong
a fighter he still was...teacher or not. There had been many
occasions when he walked past the Teacher's Recreation
Center to see the new Dean of Ethnic Studies practicing
katas during a tae won do class. He sighed in thought from
the beautiful movements that the Asian man displayed. Wufei
still had a beautiful body but he was off-limits...to that blessed
child of Venus. Even though it was hard to admit fault, he
considered Duo and Wufei one of his greatest friends. He
didn't have many and he didn't want to lose the few he had.
Wufei gritted his teeth in remembrance. The embarrassment
he still felt lingered and the sight of the cause for said
embarrassment stood before him. That horrid day! The
mere sight of him and his now husband as models of the
majority of Velvet's work when he had repeated refused
to take part in it. He still was trying to figure out how the
heck he did it. The positions Velvet captured. Velvet couldn't
have heard anything from them and he knew his bedroom was
not bugged. Fei had to admit but Velvet was a gifted artist...a
pain in the butt but a gifted artist none the less. It had taking a
lot of talking and other things to calm him down.(4) But before
he could utter a word to tell him off, Velvet spoke.
"I'm sorry, Wufei."
"Eh?!" Did he hear that right? Mr. Flamboyant was apologizing?
"I couldn't help myself. You and Venus were breathtaking...I
couldn't help admiring the love felt between you two." He
shook his head. "At least you found a perfect love..."
"Eh?!"
Sighing, Prof. Kuno put his hand to his head, sulking as he
continued down the hall to his class, totally ignoring Wufei.
Wufei just sweatdropped, looking into space wondering
what the hell just happened!
**Winner Mansion**
"Duo!!"
Arms tackled the young singer as he entered the Winner
mansion. Duo pulled back, examining the gentle face beaming
before him. "Hello, Q-chan." He didn't even get a chance to
breathe as Quarte grabbed him, zooming through the house
as his children looked on, zooming directly towards the
awaiting set up in his private garden.
Dlan giggled at the hyper blonde pulling his friend through the
house. Duo's poor braid sailed through the air, flying alongside
its owner til Quarte abruptly stopped in front of his lunch setting.
It wasn't long until a conversation began and Quarte' nosiness
got the better of him. Poor Duo was embarrassed by the
onslaught of questions and Dlan just couldn't stop laughing.
He learned a lot about the violet- eyed man before him...
a good majority of it from his lover and Quarte. People kept
comparing him to his lover's first love, yet anyone could see
they were as different as night and day. It was forth reasoning,
he wanted to become friends with ex god of death.
"So Dlan...how are things going on at the orphanage?"
"Not so good, Quarte...because of stupid cutbacks, we have
to work even harder this year for support." Dlan's light blonde
hair hung loose in a low ponytail, snaking down his back. "Not
to mention that new developer bugging the sisters to tear down
the church. How can you tear down a church filled with orphan
children?"
Quarte frowned, agreeing. How could someone stoop so
low...Tearing down a place that was home to innocent victims
of the war. He wished he could take them all but the only
thing he could do was to help Dlan in his cause by finding
home for the children. It was for this reason he had set up
"Guardian Angel Enterprises", an organization for the welfare
and well being of children and whose goal was to find loving
parents for the children who lost their hope so long ago. "The
sisters' still won't accept my donations, ne?"
Dlan smiled as their secret benefactor. "You're already
doing too much. Besides...Trowa is gonna have a fit with
another baby around."
"Giggle! No...Trotre is the last and don't let Trowa fool you.
He's worse than me."
Duo giggled, silently listening at the conversation thought
his thoughts were elsewhere. Dlan was the first to notice
the change across his face. "Uh...Duo-chan...Are you okay?"
He blinked out of his thoughts. "Huh?" No...I'm fine...just had
the weirdest dream...trying to understand it."
"Well..." Quarte replied, "Dreams have a way of trying to
revealing something then other times...it would be something
you ate...and knowing you...you must have doozies!"
That remark brought a light bonk on the blonde's head
as Duo chuckled. "That's what Wufei said!"
"Maybe it's nothing." Dlan smiled as he tried to reassure him.
But was it, Duo kept thinking. How come it was still nagging
him like a mosquito during the summer season to be squashed?
"Well, I'm too starved to talk about anything! What's
on the menu, Q-chan?!?
Quarte laughed as he rose and went to retrieve their lunches
from a side tray while Duo just shook his head. The man
had servants galore and he still cooked. Old habits were
hard to break.
*********
The man stared across the city. His profile, regal yet stern
glared onward high in the skyscraper from his skyline view,
like the lord of a majestic castle in the sky. Circular glass
windows surrounded his oval office, giving him a full view
of the city during the day and the universe at night. Through
much struggle and conflict, he was now the president of a
prestigious company...okay...so it was his father's company
but that was not the point. A gentle knock was heard on the
solid oak door and a slender yet graceful Asian man entered
carrying a stack of papers. His ebony hair hung long down
his back, clasps with an exquisite clip engraved with a snarling
dragon of jade and ivory. The president heard his
assistant's soft footsteps yet he didn't move to acknowledge
the young man's presence yet his words spoke for him in a
stern monotone voice.
"Report, Shin."
Chang Xi-Shin diligently placed the stack of reports down on
the desk, and began slowly began dictating from ledgers upon
ledgers of information to his employer. He was very efficient in
his work and this year, he had now been with the company for
six years. He was truly amazed at the growth spurt in such a
small time span. The ability and intelligent of the man before
him, always sent a shiver down his spine. He did not know
when he had falling in love with his employer, nor did he
expect to be his lover. Xi-Shin watched the man at the
window, gazing as always at the city below.
"We have much to do, Xi-Shin." The man replied. Xi-Shin
could feel his smile at the window even though he wasn't
facing him. "Much to do...we must gather the pieces...of the
game."
"Game, sir?"
"Yes, Shin...a masterful game will begin...You will know
the characters..."
Shin just shook his head, just looking at his lover.
"Yes..." Edwin Codrington replied. "The game...will begin...
very soon."
