The night fallowing the mission was tiring, between taking care of my new charge and writing my mission report, I was exhausted. Quatre had offered to help in taking care of Duo but every time he went to close to the kitten, the said kitten would freak out.
So it was early morning when I finally got to bed with Duo sleeping next to me. I am sure that we made a pair. I was awoken several hours later to Duo’s horrible cry. I quickly scoped him up into my arms. He calmed slightly but was still crying when I realized that we were not alone in the room.
The safe house wasn’t all that large so we had to share rooms. So standing in the door way was Wufei, staring at me and my charge. I stood and nodded a greeting to the Chinese man. He gave me a questioning look and pointed to Duo in my arms.
“My mission did not go as planned.”
“I can see that.”
“You can stay here. I got to feed Duo any way. “ I walked towards that door and waited for Wufei to enter so I can leave. Instead of doing that he reached out a hand to touch Duo, who had finally stopped his crying, well that is until the Chinese man touched him. Which started him up all over again. Wufei pulled his hand away quickly. “Shush Duo, it’s ok, he is a friend.” That seemed make him feel better because he stopped his cry and mewed at me quietly.
“He really is attached to know. Do you know what up with him? What he is?”
I nodded. “ I got all the information in with his stuff. He is apparently a new type of soldier that they were trying to create. I will fill you in when Trowa gets back from his mission and I can explain everything to you all at once.” Duo mewed again. “Right now I really need to feed him again.” At that Wufei entered and let me leave.
The safe house was quiet and the kitchen was empty. I put Duo onto the floor as I went make his bottle. He fallowed me around silently. Watching what I was doing intently.
Once he was feed I took him into the living room and placed him on the floor. This set of a round of exploring and as soon as he was familiar with the room a round of playing. He pounced on anything that he could, including me. He seemed to be having fun when the front door opened and Trowa walked in.
This of course set Duo off. He quickly ran up to me and as soon he was in my arms hissed at Trowa. This of course surprised me, while Duo hasn’t exactly been the friendliest he had never shown aggression to anyone. It also seem to surprise Trowa.
“He has never reacted like that.” I said more to myself than to Trowa. “ I don’t understand usually animals like you.” Trowa just shrugged. “ As soon as you are rested and the Quatre and Wufei are up, I will explain what I know about our newest house guest. “ Trowa nodded and starting heading toward the room he shared with Quatre.
As soon as he was out of sight Duo seem to completely calm again and snuggled into my arms and began to purr. It didn’t take us long to fall asleep.
AN: I will say that his reaction to Trowa took me completely by surprise. Hopefully I will have the next chapter up soon.
On to Chapter 4
