Takeo – Moshi moshi.
WuFei – Okay. What’s going on today?
Takeo – Well, a few people really liked Desert Rose, and due to technical difficulties, chapter five of Desert Rose got deleted. So, I’ve decided to change the little epilogue I wrote into Desert Rose five. So this is chapter six!
Duo – Oi, what are we in for now?
Takeo – Just read the stuff.
Duo – Okay. Takeo doesn’t own GW or us. Warnings, none.

Chapter Six : Red on Black

" Fei-chan, I need coffee." Duo moaned early in the morning as he dragged himself out of the shower, brown hair-dripping wet.

"Dry your hair first." WuFei said as he prepared a large cup of coffee for his sleepy koi. Duo used his rather large towel and started drying his hair, muttering something about tangles and scythes. WuFei sighed. It wasn’t his fault that Duo insisted on staying up very late at night to play video games at a 24hour arcade. WuFei handed Duo the coffee and went about preparing his tea.

"I can’t believe you beat me, twice. I’ve been playing that game since I was a kid." Duo lamented as he sat down next to WuFei, chugging his coffee down. WuFei shrugged.

"It was a fun game. The fighters were like dancers involved in an intricate dance." WuFei said as he stood up and started braiding Duo’s hair.

"Intricate my ass. You were screaming with glee for Pete’s sake. Anyway you don’t like fighting. Couldn’t have fooled me." Duo said. He yelped as a hard tug in his hair reminded him that WuFei was braiding his hair.

"That’s enough Duo. It was just a game." WuFei said as he finished off Duo’s braid. Duo watched as WuFei sat down and drank his tea, obsidian depths a bit shaky.

"I’m sorry Fei. Merian never played fair ne?" Duo asked as he wrapped his arms around WuFei.

"The only fighting she knew was to torment me for a whole year. I liked video games; I even practiced some of the moves with my sword. She said that I dreamed too much. She was the reason I left L5. I simply couldn’t marry someone who called everything I did foolish and weak. Now she’s gone, with the rest of my clan. Ironic isn’t it? I followed my weakness and it saved me." WuFei said as his fingers tightened around the cup, a crack running through it. Duo gently removed the mistreated cup from WuFei’s grasp.

"Fei, don’t think too much about it ok? Do you want me to talk about all the people that I loved and lost? I won’t because I don’t want to lose you." Duo said as he brushed his lips against the back of WuFei’s neck.

"You’re right. I’m happy with you, and nothing should stand in the way of our happiness." WuFei said as he smiled.

"Good, now we have to get to work." Duo said as he smiled.

"In your towel? Really Duo, what will the people say?" WuFei said with a snicker.

"They won’t be able to say anything unless the towel falls off. You’ll protect me from groping hands ne Fei-chan?" Duo said as he wrapped his hands around WuFei. WuFei laughed.

"Of course I will. Then, I’ll punish you for showing off. Remember, I am capable of being just as possessive as you are Du-chan." And with that WuFei headed outside into his garden. Duo smiled as he watched WuFei tend to his roses. You never cease to amaze me.

Meanwhile, in Arabia on L4, Prince Quatre was making his way to a shuttle with Trowa’s hands in his.

"Won’t Duo and WuFei be surprised to see us?" Quatre said as he bubbled in excitement.

"Just why are we going to L2?" Trowa asked as they boarded the shuttle.

"WuFei called a week ago and said that he and Duo just got married. I was so happy, I mean, I thought that they may never see each other again." Quatre said as he grabbed Trowa in a fierce hug, the emerald advisor patting his koi’s head. He had become royalty the minute he and Quatre announced their marriage. They wanted to take a break from ruling so Rashid and the Forty Aries took control of the kingdom and would be awaiting their return.

" Wonder how Duo found WuFei?" Trowa asked as they sat in their seats.

"Duo said he was following his heart. He did the right thing. Oh, I just can’t wait to see them!" Quatre squealed with delight.

"No more tea for you Qu-chan. You’re very agitated." Trowa commented.

"No I’m not." Quatre replied as he linked arms with Trowa. Trowa couldn’t help but smile. Quatre could be so cute at times.

A shadow lurked on the ground. Cobalt blue eyes shone with ruthlessness. So, Duo’s on L2, with WuFei…This is even better than I thought. The cobalt-eyed boy pulled his hat over his eyes and boarded the plane, a smirk gracing his lips. Now, he would put his months with the Aries army to good use.

End of chapter six.

Takeo – Somebody’s in trouble, somebody’s in trouble.
Duo – Okay, time to whip out my Shini yoyo.
WuFei – And if you don’t know what the Shini yoyo is, I advise that you take a peek at the Kongo Show. They’ve got the stupidest commercials including club " Drunk off your Ass"
Takeo – Heehee. There’s no way I’m ruining chapter seven. *evil laughter *
Duo - ^_^;; End this, onegai?
