Tired but HAPPY!!!
May. 6th, 2006 11:07 pmToday was the second and final day of the Japanese Exhibition over at UWI and it was absolutely great. There were displays of toys, games, dolls; demonstrations of sushi rolling, calligraphy and origami. There was Sushi and Yakitori on sale as well as Rice dumplings with a choice of sweet bean paste or sweet soy sauce. Alas no Tempura or Okonomiyaki was in sight darn it. We had a meet and greet and it was a totally relaxed day. It started at 10 am but I got there at 11 am and I didn't leave till after 5 pm. It was absolutely worth the extra time spent as it was a chance to connect with friends of the class and also get to see my sensei again. I have to admit that the most fun I've had all year in an educational environment was my Saturday Japanese Language class.
As I said in my bio I wrote fanfics a few years back and though I haven't written anything in a while I've decided to post them here and see if they get a response at all and even if they don't well at least I have them on my LJ. They can all also be found over at
http://www.gwaddiction.com/
Anyway here's the first fic I ever wrote and a note to the wise, it started off as a lark and then got serious so please forgive the first few corny scenes.
A Gundam Wing crossover with Anita Blake Vampire Hunter.
Warning: Contains yaoi and some lemon scenes.
Disclaimers: The Anita Blake Vampire Hunter Series is not mine either, it is the work of an extremely talented woman whom I adore. The one and only Laurell K. Hamilton. All hail the Lady... ...HAIL HAIL
As you will see this story is AU and the only thing about GW that is constant is the guy's names and physical descriptions. Everything else is all my idea.
When the Night Calls by Romyra
Part One
Another night, another senseless killing. Why can’t I have a normal life? A few months ago I battled a demon with only my faith, it seems as though God is okay with who and what I am. If so then he's a whole lot more generous than I am. I was on call with R.P.I.T 1, Dolph and Zebrowski had paged me, it was the the first day of semi-normalcy in a really long while. Of course then I saw the body, Disemboweled and Decapitated. It was horrible, as usual there were no leads, it appeared to be an attack of an undetermined nature and there were no suspects although it was assured that the crime was of a preternatural nature.
So here I am, once again on my way to confer with Jean-Claude and Richard, the two men in my life. Did I mention I was part of a triumvirate?2
Yup little ole me, Anita Blake Vampire exectioner, in love with no less than a Master Vampire-Jean-Claude and an alpha werewolf- Richard Zeeman. I am a necromancer. Apparently the most powerful ever, perhaps even more so . But lets not get into that, anyway I've been avoiding them ever since the demon affair. I'm drowning in myself but Marianne 3 has been helping me to keep my head above the water at least for now.
I thought I could see them without falling down the abyss I was slowly trying to climb out of, I never thought something would happen that would be deeper than my association with them. Boy was I wrong. I hadn't been home more than a few hours when there was a knock at the door. Always wary I answered it with my browning4 in hand, What I saw took my breath away. An angel….okay not an angel but damn near close. Long brown hair with golden and red highlights5, bangs just over his eyes which were nearly violet in colour, full pouting lips, long limbed and graceful and Damn! What a smile. He was beautiful.
'Yes?' I asked.
'Anita Blake?' came the reply
Oh Gods what a voice, Smokey, deep the kind of voice that rolled over you like warm silken sheets. In some small part of my mind I compared it to Jean-Claude's voice which can cause you to orgasm at will and strangely enough this absolutely beautiful stranger6 made that voice pale in comparison.
'Yeah, what do you want?'
'Umm…hi…my name is Duo, Duo Maxwell. This is going to sound really strange but I'm your brother.'
I was shocked.
End of part one.
Notes:
(1) R.P.I.T -- Regional Preternatural Investigative Team.
(2) This is the relationship that Anita shares with J-C and R. They all share their power and as a result they are very , very powerful and the power keeps growing.
(3) Marianne is the lady who is trying to help Anita keep herself in one piece in the triumvirate.
(4) Anita's gun, her favourite I believe.
(5) Yes I know the Duo's hair is the cause of much speculation. For the purpose of this fic lets assume it's in his usual braid unless I state otherwise.
(6) Ha ha.. I just had to use this, don't you just love this song by Madonna?
When the Night Calls by Romyra
Part Two
Shock….that's what ran through me, just before the world swam before my eyes. I must have swayed because he suddenly caught me and carried me over to the couch in the living room.
'Anita?' came the worried question', are you alright?'
I couldn't say anything, a barrage of questions ran through my mind, I felt faint. He shook me lightly and when I didn't respond, he muttered to himself.
'Damn I knew this was a bad idea.'
What?, I wanted to scream so I did the next best thing, I asked a question. 'What the hell are you talking about?'
He glanced up startled', what?'
'I asked you what the hell were you talking about?'
'Well this is going to sound very weird, but I'm your twin,'
I gritted my teeth.
…we were separated at birth 1 mother thought it best that you didn't know about me.'
What? Okay now I was confused, why would my mother do that? So of course I asked.
' Well she knew that something was strange about the circumstances of our birth, I mean she could tell that we were very different from normal newborns so she thought it best that we were separated, and I was taken to the home of a distant aunt.' He continued…' I'm not angry or anything I just wanted to meet you to see if it was true.'
My intelligent response?….."Huh?'
"Look, I know that this a really bad time but I had to see you, I heard about all the things that have been happening to you and I was ashamed that I couldn't help you,but…… he paused ……now I can, Anita I can help you with the marks.'
That stopped me how could he know about that? My first impulse pushed me to kill him and dispose of the body but part of me was still reeling from the fact that I had a brother, a twin, someone to help with the marks. Perhaps someone to talk to and someone who could understand. That did me in, later I would blame it on stress but right now I just wanted to be held. The first tear ran down my face followed by two more in quick succession.
'Oh shit, I didn't mean to make you cry, God I am an idiot, please don't cry, Shit, Shit, Shit I'm really sorry.' He knew he was babbling but he didn't know what else to do. He still didn't know what had compelled him to seek her out after all this time,..Twenty-six years 2 what a really long time to be separated from a sibling and suffice it to say he was dumbfounded as to what to do next, so he did the only thing that he could, he just held her.
Which could not have looked more compromising as Richard came in the still open door.
'What the?…. and then instinct took over and he rushed towards the two on the couch. Of course Duo, seeing an enraged werewolf running towards him hellbent on ripping him limb from limb did the only thing he could………… ….. he held his ground.
At Richard's roar, Anita's head snapped up and acting on pure instinct she rolled the two of them out of harm's way. Richard had no time to react and ran straight into the couch and flipped over the back and just lay there in stunned surprise. Of course Jean-Claude chose that moment to walk into the room from his daytime lair. Taking in the scene before him he raised an eyebrow as he looked around in surprise. An eeriely beautiful young man holding onto Anita as she wiped away tears. Wait? Tears? Anita never cries, Richard was crumpled in a heap behind the couch and the beautiful young man was hugging Anita, What? Hugging??
'Are you allright' asked Duo
'Yeah' said Anita', you?'
'Yeah'
" Will someone please enlighten me as to what is going on? Why is Richard on the ground and who are you?" asked Jean-Claude.
' Well….began the twins, who then stopped and looked at each other taking in the similarities between them. Same height, same stance and the reassuring tone they adopted when handling a situation.
" I, He…." They said again and then they stopped and simply could not help it, they collapsed into giggles. Jean-Claude and Richard, who had now gotten up off the floor could only look on in stunned stupefaction. They both shared the same thought…
********* Anita doesn't giggle.*********
Notes:
(1) This is a terrible thing and by no means am I trivializing it okay
(2) I really don't know Anita's age and 26 seems like as good as an age as any
When the Night Calls by Romyra
Part Three
Giggles, they were giggling, Anita and the beautiful stranger, the Really beautiful stranger and their scents were mixed in together. He smelt like her and she smelt like him. What was going on? Now that rational thought had taken over, Richard was valiantly trying to get a handle on the situation. Meanwhile Jean-Claude atched the giggling duo 1 and raised an eyebrow. After an eternity, through which Duo and Anita tried to get themselves composed, they looked up and at each other.
**Should we tell them?**asked Duo.
**What? You're in my head?**
** Uhmm, yeah we're telepathic which is how I knew about the marks.
**Oh well then maybe its best that I explain. I won't say anything about the telepathy though.**
**Okay**
Jean-Claude and Richard watched on in amazement as the two simply looked at each other in what appeared to be silent communication and then seemed to reach a decision.
" He's my brother, my twin, his name is Duo." Said Anita. Richard and Jean-Claude facevaulted. 2
"Well… that went well." Said Duo as the two men tried to compose themselves.
"Well that explains why you both have each other's scents on you." Said Richard.
" You've been smelling us?, is that why you went ballistic just now?" asked Anita.
Embarrassed, Richard looked at the ground while Jean-Claude gazed in sheer wonder at the sight before him. **Duo…what a ….well suitable name** As he took in the vision in front of him, Duo felt himself being watched, and turned and found himself looking into a pair of midnight blue eyes………………that had no effect on him whatsoever.
Jean-Claude's amazement increased tenfold, the fact that Duo could meet his gaze only served his intense desire to know what exactly was going on.
At Jean-Claude's frank stare Duo smirked and said, " I'm Anita's brother what else did you expect?"
" How…." began Richard.
" We were separated at birth and Duo was taken to the home of a distant aunt and that's how I never knew about him." said Anita.
"But that doesn't explain how you can suddenly accept the fact that he is your brother." said Jean-Claude.
" Can't you taste the truth in his words?" said Anita.
" Yes….I can, you both feel ..linked somehow and you smell like each other, like brother and sister." said Richard, " Duo also feels very powerful."
Richard turned to look suspiciously at Duo. Of course Duo just returned his gaze and winked impishly in reply.
" Great, now we can be a quartet, I'm sure Jean-Claude would just love that." said Anita.
At this Duo began to laugh', Oh no, that can never happen, Heero would kill me." said Duo. Then after a short silence Duo said", Actually Heero would hunt me down, torture, maim and then kill me." All this was said in a completely deadpan tone of voice with face accompaniment.
" He? You said he..?' said Anita.
"Yes I did, Heero is a guy and he's my lover." said Duo proudly.
" Oh…." said Anita
"Your lover is a man? Oh that's absolutely glorious." said Jean-Claude. He then began to laugh lightly to himself.
" Yeah I think so too." said Duo who began to chuckle to himself also.
" But that doesn't explain why our Mr. Zeeman tried to attack you and Anita."
" Oh that.. well I came to tell Anita about me and she was overwhelmed and I was giving her a hug when he walked in and saw us and lost it.
" Richard were you jealous? I can barely keep my wits between you and Jean-Claude and you thought I was Cheating?"
Anita could not help herself, she burst out into fresh giggles. Which then escalated into tummy-shaking, red-faced, can't take a breath, screams of laughter. Duo merely looked amused. Jean-Claude then turned to Duo", You said that Heero would kill you, why would he do that?"
" Oh... well he is very possessive, to the point of being paranoid and if such a thing was to happen he would lose it worse than Richard over there."
At that moment, while Anita was still helplessly laughing and Richard was torn between anger and shame and Jean-Claude was pondering the mystery of Duo, there was a knock at the door. Richard went to answer it, opening the door he made as if to answer the person outside when he was suddenly struck dumb.
Heero Yuy stood there, he fixed Richard with a glare and said, " I've come for Duo."3
End part three.
Notes:
(1) Pun intended **giggles to self**
(2) Okay okay so I couldn't find words to describe facefalling of real people (or maybe I'm just lazy) anyway that's the best you're going to get for now. **hee heee hee**
(3) Yes!! Enter Heero Yuy. Reminiscent of enter the dragon huh?? No? well I'm sorry, it seemed like really good line at the time.**heh hee heh**
When the Night Calls by Romyra
Part Four
Heero Yuy stood there in the glow of the moon, its rays bathing him in cold light, outlining his features in full detail. His dark moss green hair,** wait moss green hair?** thought Richard. (Yes moss green hair silly it’s a colourist's term for dark brown, now stop interrupting me).1 Cobalt blue eyes and beautiful finely made features but not that they were soft no not at all and those eyes, ** those are eyes that have seen hell and returned** thought Richard. Whereas Richard had seen the grace of Duo, this young man looked like he moved like fluidity itself.
"Richard if you can stop looking like you've just seen a miracle, would you please say who is at the door?"called out Anita
"Uhh its …it's.. won't you come in?" said Richard.
"Hn." said Heero.2
" Heero!, you came, what's wrong?, are you alright?,Why are you here?, Did you get tired of waiting? Hmm...Heero?, what?, what? what?" said Duo breathlessly as he wound an arm around the waist of his lover.
Heero merely glared at Duo who returned his gaze without flinching. Anita, Richard and Jean-Claude shared the same thought, ** Duo's lover is this guy??**
"I was ……..concerned, you've been gone for 3.5 hours." said Heero in a cold flat monotone.
"Well I'm fine, I told Anita my story and she seems okay and I've met her two lovers and nearly was killed by one of them and the other keeps looking at me like I'm something to eat but considering the fact that he's a vampire and the other is a lycanthrope I can see why.
Anita just looked at Duo, Jean-Claude and Richard could not believe that Duo had recognised them for their true selves without a display of power.
They both started", How did you, could you ,know that?" they asked in unison.
"Oh please , I recognised your power signatures the minute you walked in the door." said Duo in a bored tone of voice.
"Anyway, its been real but I've got to get Heero home before he tries to hurt something. I'll see you again Anita, I'll call or something okay?" Duo tried to pull Heero with him as he headed towards the door but Heero had turned and was buzy glaring at Richard.
" You tried to hurt Duo?" said Heero as he began to move forward towards Richard who actually took a step back before he stood his ground. However Duo caught Heero's arm before he could take another step and said" No he didn't, not really, it was just a small misunderstanding. Heero come on lets go , we have an appointment to keep,……come…..uhhhh…..on……uhh… ……Heero."
As Duo pulled on Heero's arm, Heero gave one last glare that promised dark and bloody deeds to Richard if he ever touched his lover again. Richard nodded once to show his understanding and only then did Heero allow Duo to pull him away towards the door. Anita saw them out while Jean-Claude and Richard stayed inside to ponder on what had just occurred.
Richard could not get over the feeling that the strange young man called Heero had given him. It was the first time that he had wanted to roll over and acknowledge dominance since becoming alpha of the pack. Richard did not like that feeling at all, the boy had appeared human and if he was anything else he hid it well. That other boy Duo hid his power well also but in the presence of Anita it was hard not to miss. They appeared to amplify each other's power. Briefly Richard wondered what Duo's power was.
Jean-Claude was also deep in thought,** a brother, this is unexpected but a bonus I'm sure. I wonder what Duo's power is, Anita is an animator3 and the most powerful necromancer I've ever met, this may be …..interesting.**
Having found out about a brother, and learning that they both shared a telepathic bond and that he was powerful was simply to much for Anita, who had only now come to grips with the munin4 inside of her , the stress of the day began to catch up to her. She began to laugh softly, helplessly and this continued until tears began to run anew down her face. Richard and Jean-Claude stood by unsure of exactly what to do. This was not something that either of then had ever counted on and this was also a part of Anita's life they had no say in, it was all up to her.
End of part 4
Notes:
(1) There goes Richard's analytical self. Hmmmmph. Correction of hair colour by Tyr, thank you!!
(2) Does this remind you of a certain firedemon? Beloved by a certain youko? ***grin***
(3) Anita has power over all forms of the dead, she can raise zombies and recently she learned how to raise vampires during the day.
(4) The munin is the spirits of the dead lycanthrope that she is somehow bound to. She is learning how to control it because it had been causing problems. It seems very attracted to sex and Anita never gives in to her basic or rather baser natures without good reason and as a result she fights it and it got rather difficult to control.

When the Night Calls by Romyra
Part Five
Meanwhile, Duo was ecstatic", I finally told her, oh it feels so good, wooo hooo."
Heero watched his lover in amusement, Duo had been dreading this moment for the longest while, but now it appeared that everything was going to be all right.
They were on their way to Quatre's home in West key.1 He lived in a beautiful mansion on a large and isolated piece of forest. The land had been in his family for years and with his 29 sisters all living their lives elsewhere it fell to him to maintain it and he loved it. He was very well off, actually he was exceedingly well off but only those close to him knew that, to the rest of the world he was the simple owner of a small shipping company that he shared with his partners, Wufei Chang and Trowa Barton.
At the Winner residence
"I'm so glad that Duo found the courage to go and confront his sister."said Quatre.
"I hope that everything turns out alright for him, I've heard about this Ms. Blake, she is known throughout all the circles as the executioner and shows no mercy to her foes." said Wufei.
" Everything will be fine, have some faith in Duo, if we know him he will be alright even if he gets burned. Besides now that he has Heero he has been doing very well." said Trowa.2
There was a knock at the door, Quatre went to open it.
" Hey Quatre, Hi Trowa, hello Wufei, how are you guys?" said Duo as he bounced into the foyer followed by a smirking Heero.
Quatre laughed", You are the same Duo the exact same, we are all fine thanks for asking, I take it that your meeting with your sister went well?"
"Oh yes, it did, I met her and she seemed to accept me even though she was kinda stunned. Her lover attacked me when he saw me giving her a hug, he's a lycanthrope and her other lover kept looking at me like I was something good to eat but then he is a vampire and a master one at that. In all its been a normal day."
Quatre was slightly miffed", She has two lovers?"
"Yup and I thought I was weird and not only that she is in a triumvirate and altogether they are very powerful. I promised her that I would help her with the marks that she shares with Jean-Claude, he's the vampire and Richard is the lycanthrope, by the way." "Anita is also the most powerful of this group even though she doesn't know it yet."
" And you know this …how?"
" Our link, I didn't get to tell her this though, we were interrupted before I could finish my explanation, I said I would see her again and I intend to, I really would like to get to know her."
After a small silence through which everyone pondered what they had just heard there was a slight growl. Everyone looked around to find the cause of it and were not surprised to find that it centered in the vicinity of Duo's stomach.
At everyone's frank stare Duo blushed", What?, I forgot to eat ,I was too excited and its not my fault that Heero isn't good at mothering."
Everyone laughed and went into the kitchen to satisfy Duo's insatiable hunger.
_____________________________________________________________________
"Yesssssssss," it hissed," go and eat, it just may be your last meal, Wufei Chang, last of the Dragon clan!" 3
_____________________________________________________________________
Anita was bored, there seemed to be a lull in the animating business, the police had no new leads and she was still avoiding J-C and R. She fidgeted, there really was nothing to do.
**I just want to know what is going on? I wonder if I can contact Duo, he said that we were telepathic, now all I have to is try.**
Anita cleared her mind and tentatively reached out,** Duo , Duo can you hear me?**
** zzzzz….whaa?……umm..what?**
** Duo its me Anita**
** What?, hey you're using the link! Sugoi!**
** Duo I need to see you can you meet me somewhere?**
** Umm yeah, meet me at 129st. west end, West key, okay? Oh and come alone that way we won't be interrupted**
Normally Anita would never agree to stipulations but she trusted Duo and so she consented.
**Okay, is 10.30 am a good time?**
**Yeah, I'll see you then okay?**
**Yes, Good night Duo.**
**G'night 'nita**
As the conversation shut down for the night Anita could not help feeling excited, after all she now had a brother and a whole new world4 was opening in front of her ,she couldn't wait to see what the morning would bring.
As Duo finished his silent communication with Anita, Heero watched the moonlight play on his lover's features,** He is so beautiful and now that he has finally met his sister he is even more beautiful in his happiness, God please, if there is a God I never want to lose him, I love him too much**
Duo turned to face Heero, and grinned at him", what's the matter?, you look so serious."
"It's nothing I'm just glad that you are so happy."
" Heero are you being sappy?, you know how I love that."
" Really?, I'll have to do it more often then," said Heero as he rolled over onto Duo effectively pinning him to the bed. Duo smirked up at his lover", Ohhh, you've got me now, what are you going to do? Ohh please don't hurt me, I'll do anything."
"Anything?"
" Anything, name your terms oh great master, I promise to submit to your every desire."
This was too much for Heero because after every word Duo spoke he punctuated it with a small sigh and an impish wink. Then all thought fled as Duo reached up and firmly planted a soft kiss on Heero's lips. A muffled groan escaped Heero as he melted into the kiss and slowly Duo deepened it, letting his tongue flick along the edges of Heero's mouth. Another groan worked its way past his lips and he could feel Duo's grin as he impatiently pressed his body into the sheets. He thanked all the Gods above that he had found this man, this wonderful man who taught him how to live.
In this small moment of thought Heero suddenly found himself on his back on the bed as Duo slowly worked his way down his body, trailing soft kisses along the planes of his chest and then his stomach and then along a thigh.
"Huhh….D..Du..Duo!"
Duo chuckled, "Do you like that….hmmmm Heero? Do you like when I do this?" whispered Duo as he then took Heero into his mouth. There was only a strangled moan as Duo worked his way up and down Heero's shaft, teasing him with his tongue and then licking the crown ever so slowly, Heero's hands came up and grasped the sides of Duo's head as he began to slowly push himself into the hot mouth holding him so tightly and yet so softly. Duo hummed around Heero's cock and was rewarded with a muffled shout as Heero valiantly tried to control his voice. Duo let Heero slip out of his mouth and rose up to kiss Heero, letting his tongue say what words could not.
"Scream Heero," said Duo as he pumped Heero and himself ", They all know about us, scream for me, let me hear you come." 5
It was too much and with a roar Heero came with Duo a few seconds after. They both lay there satisfied and when Heero got his breathing under control he turned to Duo and gathered him into his arms, and held him tightly.
" I love you Duo, don't you ever leave me."
" I love you Heero and I'll never leave you, you couldn't get rid of me even if you tried." Duo punctuated each word with a soft kiss until Heero trembled with desire once more. With a growl he flipped Duo over and proceeded to show Duo exactly, how it was really done. There was no more talk that night.
End part five
Notes:
(1) Not West Key Florida, the name just seemed to fit this fic.
(2) See, I did say only the names and physical descriptions would be the same everyone will be a lot different here.
(3) A ha I gotcha, bet you thought that Duo would be the victim in this fic huh? **Giggle**
(4) This Song from Aladdin provided this great line.
(5) They meaning Quatre, Trowa and Wufei all live together in Q's home. Quatre and Trowa are paired off and just wait until I fix Wufei up. ** giggle**
Stay tuned.
As I said in my bio I wrote fanfics a few years back and though I haven't written anything in a while I've decided to post them here and see if they get a response at all and even if they don't well at least I have them on my LJ. They can all also be found over at

Anyway here's the first fic I ever wrote and a note to the wise, it started off as a lark and then got serious so please forgive the first few corny scenes.
A Gundam Wing crossover with Anita Blake Vampire Hunter.

As you will see this story is AU and the only thing about GW that is constant is the guy's names and physical descriptions. Everything else is all my idea.

Part One
Another night, another senseless killing. Why can’t I have a normal life? A few months ago I battled a demon with only my faith, it seems as though God is okay with who and what I am. If so then he's a whole lot more generous than I am. I was on call with R.P.I.T 1, Dolph and Zebrowski had paged me, it was the the first day of semi-normalcy in a really long while. Of course then I saw the body, Disemboweled and Decapitated. It was horrible, as usual there were no leads, it appeared to be an attack of an undetermined nature and there were no suspects although it was assured that the crime was of a preternatural nature.
So here I am, once again on my way to confer with Jean-Claude and Richard, the two men in my life. Did I mention I was part of a triumvirate?2

'Yes?' I asked.
'Anita Blake?' came the reply
Oh Gods what a voice, Smokey, deep the kind of voice that rolled over you like warm silken sheets. In some small part of my mind I compared it to Jean-Claude's voice which can cause you to orgasm at will and strangely enough this absolutely beautiful stranger6 made that voice pale in comparison.
'Yeah, what do you want?'
'Umm…hi…my name is Duo, Duo Maxwell. This is going to sound really strange but I'm your brother.'
I was shocked.

Part Two
Shock….that's what ran through me, just before the world swam before my eyes. I must have swayed because he suddenly caught me and carried me over to the couch in the living room.
'Anita?' came the worried question', are you alright?'
I couldn't say anything, a barrage of questions ran through my mind, I felt faint. He shook me lightly and when I didn't respond, he muttered to himself.

That stopped me how could he know about that? My first impulse pushed me to kill him and dispose of the body but part of me was still reeling from the fact that I had a brother, a twin, someone to help with the marks. Perhaps someone to talk to and someone who could understand. That did me in, later I would blame it on stress but right now I just wanted to be held. The first tear ran down my face followed by two more in quick succession.
'Oh shit, I didn't mean to make you cry, God I am an idiot, please don't cry, Shit, Shit, Shit I'm really sorry.' He knew he was babbling but he didn't know what else to do. He still didn't know what had compelled him to seek her out after all this time,..Twenty-six years 2 what a really long time to be separated from a sibling and suffice it to say he was dumbfounded as to what to do next, so he did the only thing that he could, he just held her.
Which could not have looked more compromising as Richard came in the still open door.
'What the?…. and then instinct took over and he rushed towards the two on the couch. Of course Duo, seeing an enraged werewolf running towards him hellbent on ripping him limb from limb did the only thing he could………… ….. he held his ground.
At Richard's roar, Anita's head snapped up and acting on pure instinct she rolled the two of them out of harm's way. Richard had no time to react and ran straight into the couch and flipped over the back and just lay there in stunned surprise. Of course Jean-Claude chose that moment to walk into the room from his daytime lair. Taking in the scene before him he raised an eyebrow as he looked around in surprise. An eeriely beautiful young man holding onto Anita as she wiped away tears. Wait? Tears? Anita never cries, Richard was crumpled in a heap behind the couch and the beautiful young man was hugging Anita, What? Hugging??
'Are you allright' asked Duo
'Yeah' said Anita', you?'
'Yeah'
" Will someone please enlighten me as to what is going on? Why is Richard on the ground and who are you?" asked Jean-Claude.
' Well….began the twins, who then stopped and looked at each other taking in the similarities between them. Same height, same stance and the reassuring tone they adopted when handling a situation.
" I, He…." They said again and then they stopped and simply could not help it, they collapsed into giggles. Jean-Claude and Richard, who had now gotten up off the floor could only look on in stunned stupefaction. They both shared the same thought…
********* Anita doesn't giggle.*********
Notes:
(1) This is a terrible thing and by no means am I trivializing it okay
(2) I really don't know Anita's age and 26 seems like as good as an age as any
When the Night Calls by Romyra
Part Three
Giggles, they were giggling, Anita and the beautiful stranger, the Really beautiful stranger and their scents were mixed in together. He smelt like her and she smelt like him. What was going on? Now that rational thought had taken over, Richard was valiantly trying to get a handle on the situation. Meanwhile Jean-Claude atched the giggling duo 1 and raised an eyebrow. After an eternity, through which Duo and Anita tried to get themselves composed, they looked up and at each other.
**Should we tell them?**asked Duo.
**What? You're in my head?**
** Uhmm, yeah we're telepathic which is how I knew about the marks.
**Oh well then maybe its best that I explain. I won't say anything about the telepathy though.**
**Okay**
Jean-Claude and Richard watched on in amazement as the two simply looked at each other in what appeared to be silent communication and then seemed to reach a decision.
" He's my brother, my twin, his name is Duo." Said Anita. Richard and Jean-Claude facevaulted. 2
"Well… that went well." Said Duo as the two men tried to compose themselves.
"Well that explains why you both have each other's scents on you." Said Richard.
" You've been smelling us?, is that why you went ballistic just now?" asked Anita.
Embarrassed, Richard looked at the ground while Jean-Claude gazed in sheer wonder at the sight before him. **Duo…what a ….well suitable name** As he took in the vision in front of him, Duo felt himself being watched, and turned and found himself looking into a pair of midnight blue eyes………………that had no effect on him whatsoever.
Jean-Claude's amazement increased tenfold, the fact that Duo could meet his gaze only served his intense desire to know what exactly was going on.
At Jean-Claude's frank stare Duo smirked and said, " I'm Anita's brother what else did you expect?"
" How…." began Richard.
" We were separated at birth and Duo was taken to the home of a distant aunt and that's how I never knew about him." said Anita.
"But that doesn't explain how you can suddenly accept the fact that he is your brother." said Jean-Claude.
" Can't you taste the truth in his words?" said Anita.
" Yes….I can, you both feel ..linked somehow and you smell like each other, like brother and sister." said Richard, " Duo also feels very powerful."
Richard turned to look suspiciously at Duo. Of course Duo just returned his gaze and winked impishly in reply.
" Great, now we can be a quartet, I'm sure Jean-Claude would just love that." said Anita.
At this Duo began to laugh', Oh no, that can never happen, Heero would kill me." said Duo. Then after a short silence Duo said", Actually Heero would hunt me down, torture, maim and then kill me." All this was said in a completely deadpan tone of voice with face accompaniment.
" He? You said he..?' said Anita.
"Yes I did, Heero is a guy and he's my lover." said Duo proudly.
" Oh…." said Anita
"Your lover is a man? Oh that's absolutely glorious." said Jean-Claude. He then began to laugh lightly to himself.
" Yeah I think so too." said Duo who began to chuckle to himself also.
" But that doesn't explain why our Mr. Zeeman tried to attack you and Anita."
" Oh that.. well I came to tell Anita about me and she was overwhelmed and I was giving her a hug when he walked in and saw us and lost it.
" Richard were you jealous? I can barely keep my wits between you and Jean-Claude and you thought I was Cheating?"
Anita could not help herself, she burst out into fresh giggles. Which then escalated into tummy-shaking, red-faced, can't take a breath, screams of laughter. Duo merely looked amused. Jean-Claude then turned to Duo", You said that Heero would kill you, why would he do that?"
" Oh... well he is very possessive, to the point of being paranoid and if such a thing was to happen he would lose it worse than Richard over there."
At that moment, while Anita was still helplessly laughing and Richard was torn between anger and shame and Jean-Claude was pondering the mystery of Duo, there was a knock at the door. Richard went to answer it, opening the door he made as if to answer the person outside when he was suddenly struck dumb.
Heero Yuy stood there, he fixed Richard with a glare and said, " I've come for Duo."3
End part three.
Notes:
(1) Pun intended **giggles to self**
(2) Okay okay so I couldn't find words to describe facefalling of real people (or maybe I'm just lazy) anyway that's the best you're going to get for now. **hee heee hee**
(3) Yes!! Enter Heero Yuy. Reminiscent of enter the dragon huh?? No? well I'm sorry, it seemed like really good line at the time.**heh hee heh**
When the Night Calls by Romyra
Part Four
Heero Yuy stood there in the glow of the moon, its rays bathing him in cold light, outlining his features in full detail. His dark moss green hair,** wait moss green hair?** thought Richard. (Yes moss green hair silly it’s a colourist's term for dark brown, now stop interrupting me).1 Cobalt blue eyes and beautiful finely made features but not that they were soft no not at all and those eyes, ** those are eyes that have seen hell and returned** thought Richard. Whereas Richard had seen the grace of Duo, this young man looked like he moved like fluidity itself.
"Richard if you can stop looking like you've just seen a miracle, would you please say who is at the door?"called out Anita
"Uhh its …it's.. won't you come in?" said Richard.
"Hn." said Heero.2
" Heero!, you came, what's wrong?, are you alright?,Why are you here?, Did you get tired of waiting? Hmm...Heero?, what?, what? what?" said Duo breathlessly as he wound an arm around the waist of his lover.
Heero merely glared at Duo who returned his gaze without flinching. Anita, Richard and Jean-Claude shared the same thought, ** Duo's lover is this guy??**
"I was ……..concerned, you've been gone for 3.5 hours." said Heero in a cold flat monotone.
"Well I'm fine, I told Anita my story and she seems okay and I've met her two lovers and nearly was killed by one of them and the other keeps looking at me like I'm something to eat but considering the fact that he's a vampire and the other is a lycanthrope I can see why.
Anita just looked at Duo, Jean-Claude and Richard could not believe that Duo had recognised them for their true selves without a display of power.
They both started", How did you, could you ,know that?" they asked in unison.
"Oh please , I recognised your power signatures the minute you walked in the door." said Duo in a bored tone of voice.
"Anyway, its been real but I've got to get Heero home before he tries to hurt something. I'll see you again Anita, I'll call or something okay?" Duo tried to pull Heero with him as he headed towards the door but Heero had turned and was buzy glaring at Richard.
" You tried to hurt Duo?" said Heero as he began to move forward towards Richard who actually took a step back before he stood his ground. However Duo caught Heero's arm before he could take another step and said" No he didn't, not really, it was just a small misunderstanding. Heero come on lets go , we have an appointment to keep,……come…..uhhhh…..on……uhh… ……Heero."
As Duo pulled on Heero's arm, Heero gave one last glare that promised dark and bloody deeds to Richard if he ever touched his lover again. Richard nodded once to show his understanding and only then did Heero allow Duo to pull him away towards the door. Anita saw them out while Jean-Claude and Richard stayed inside to ponder on what had just occurred.
Richard could not get over the feeling that the strange young man called Heero had given him. It was the first time that he had wanted to roll over and acknowledge dominance since becoming alpha of the pack. Richard did not like that feeling at all, the boy had appeared human and if he was anything else he hid it well. That other boy Duo hid his power well also but in the presence of Anita it was hard not to miss. They appeared to amplify each other's power. Briefly Richard wondered what Duo's power was.
Jean-Claude was also deep in thought,** a brother, this is unexpected but a bonus I'm sure. I wonder what Duo's power is, Anita is an animator3 and the most powerful necromancer I've ever met, this may be …..interesting.**
Having found out about a brother, and learning that they both shared a telepathic bond and that he was powerful was simply to much for Anita, who had only now come to grips with the munin4 inside of her , the stress of the day began to catch up to her. She began to laugh softly, helplessly and this continued until tears began to run anew down her face. Richard and Jean-Claude stood by unsure of exactly what to do. This was not something that either of then had ever counted on and this was also a part of Anita's life they had no say in, it was all up to her.
End of part 4
Notes:
(1) There goes Richard's analytical self. Hmmmmph. Correction of hair colour by Tyr, thank you!!
(2) Does this remind you of a certain firedemon? Beloved by a certain youko? ***grin***
(3) Anita has power over all forms of the dead, she can raise zombies and recently she learned how to raise vampires during the day.
(4) The munin is the spirits of the dead lycanthrope that she is somehow bound to. She is learning how to control it because it had been causing problems. It seems very attracted to sex and Anita never gives in to her basic or rather baser natures without good reason and as a result she fights it and it got rather difficult to control.

When the Night Calls by Romyra
Part Five
Meanwhile, Duo was ecstatic", I finally told her, oh it feels so good, wooo hooo."
Heero watched his lover in amusement, Duo had been dreading this moment for the longest while, but now it appeared that everything was going to be all right.
They were on their way to Quatre's home in West key.1 He lived in a beautiful mansion on a large and isolated piece of forest. The land had been in his family for years and with his 29 sisters all living their lives elsewhere it fell to him to maintain it and he loved it. He was very well off, actually he was exceedingly well off but only those close to him knew that, to the rest of the world he was the simple owner of a small shipping company that he shared with his partners, Wufei Chang and Trowa Barton.
At the Winner residence
"I'm so glad that Duo found the courage to go and confront his sister."said Quatre.
"I hope that everything turns out alright for him, I've heard about this Ms. Blake, she is known throughout all the circles as the executioner and shows no mercy to her foes." said Wufei.
" Everything will be fine, have some faith in Duo, if we know him he will be alright even if he gets burned. Besides now that he has Heero he has been doing very well." said Trowa.2
There was a knock at the door, Quatre went to open it.
" Hey Quatre, Hi Trowa, hello Wufei, how are you guys?" said Duo as he bounced into the foyer followed by a smirking Heero.
Quatre laughed", You are the same Duo the exact same, we are all fine thanks for asking, I take it that your meeting with your sister went well?"
"Oh yes, it did, I met her and she seemed to accept me even though she was kinda stunned. Her lover attacked me when he saw me giving her a hug, he's a lycanthrope and her other lover kept looking at me like I was something good to eat but then he is a vampire and a master one at that. In all its been a normal day."
Quatre was slightly miffed", She has two lovers?"
"Yup and I thought I was weird and not only that she is in a triumvirate and altogether they are very powerful. I promised her that I would help her with the marks that she shares with Jean-Claude, he's the vampire and Richard is the lycanthrope, by the way." "Anita is also the most powerful of this group even though she doesn't know it yet."
" And you know this …how?"
" Our link, I didn't get to tell her this though, we were interrupted before I could finish my explanation, I said I would see her again and I intend to, I really would like to get to know her."
After a small silence through which everyone pondered what they had just heard there was a slight growl. Everyone looked around to find the cause of it and were not surprised to find that it centered in the vicinity of Duo's stomach.
At everyone's frank stare Duo blushed", What?, I forgot to eat ,I was too excited and its not my fault that Heero isn't good at mothering."
Everyone laughed and went into the kitchen to satisfy Duo's insatiable hunger.
_____________________________________________________________________
"Yesssssssss," it hissed," go and eat, it just may be your last meal, Wufei Chang, last of the Dragon clan!" 3
_____________________________________________________________________
Anita was bored, there seemed to be a lull in the animating business, the police had no new leads and she was still avoiding J-C and R. She fidgeted, there really was nothing to do.
**I just want to know what is going on? I wonder if I can contact Duo, he said that we were telepathic, now all I have to is try.**
Anita cleared her mind and tentatively reached out,** Duo , Duo can you hear me?**
** zzzzz….whaa?……umm..what?**
** Duo its me Anita**
** What?, hey you're using the link! Sugoi!**
** Duo I need to see you can you meet me somewhere?**
** Umm yeah, meet me at 129st. west end, West key, okay? Oh and come alone that way we won't be interrupted**
Normally Anita would never agree to stipulations but she trusted Duo and so she consented.
**Okay, is 10.30 am a good time?**
**Yeah, I'll see you then okay?**
**Yes, Good night Duo.**
**G'night 'nita**
As the conversation shut down for the night Anita could not help feeling excited, after all she now had a brother and a whole new world4 was opening in front of her ,she couldn't wait to see what the morning would bring.
As Duo finished his silent communication with Anita, Heero watched the moonlight play on his lover's features,** He is so beautiful and now that he has finally met his sister he is even more beautiful in his happiness, God please, if there is a God I never want to lose him, I love him too much**
Duo turned to face Heero, and grinned at him", what's the matter?, you look so serious."
"It's nothing I'm just glad that you are so happy."
" Heero are you being sappy?, you know how I love that."
" Really?, I'll have to do it more often then," said Heero as he rolled over onto Duo effectively pinning him to the bed. Duo smirked up at his lover", Ohhh, you've got me now, what are you going to do? Ohh please don't hurt me, I'll do anything."
"Anything?"
" Anything, name your terms oh great master, I promise to submit to your every desire."
This was too much for Heero because after every word Duo spoke he punctuated it with a small sigh and an impish wink. Then all thought fled as Duo reached up and firmly planted a soft kiss on Heero's lips. A muffled groan escaped Heero as he melted into the kiss and slowly Duo deepened it, letting his tongue flick along the edges of Heero's mouth. Another groan worked its way past his lips and he could feel Duo's grin as he impatiently pressed his body into the sheets. He thanked all the Gods above that he had found this man, this wonderful man who taught him how to live.
In this small moment of thought Heero suddenly found himself on his back on the bed as Duo slowly worked his way down his body, trailing soft kisses along the planes of his chest and then his stomach and then along a thigh.
"Huhh….D..Du..Duo!"
Duo chuckled, "Do you like that….hmmmm Heero? Do you like when I do this?" whispered Duo as he then took Heero into his mouth. There was only a strangled moan as Duo worked his way up and down Heero's shaft, teasing him with his tongue and then licking the crown ever so slowly, Heero's hands came up and grasped the sides of Duo's head as he began to slowly push himself into the hot mouth holding him so tightly and yet so softly. Duo hummed around Heero's cock and was rewarded with a muffled shout as Heero valiantly tried to control his voice. Duo let Heero slip out of his mouth and rose up to kiss Heero, letting his tongue say what words could not.
"Scream Heero," said Duo as he pumped Heero and himself ", They all know about us, scream for me, let me hear you come." 5
It was too much and with a roar Heero came with Duo a few seconds after. They both lay there satisfied and when Heero got his breathing under control he turned to Duo and gathered him into his arms, and held him tightly.
" I love you Duo, don't you ever leave me."
" I love you Heero and I'll never leave you, you couldn't get rid of me even if you tried." Duo punctuated each word with a soft kiss until Heero trembled with desire once more. With a growl he flipped Duo over and proceeded to show Duo exactly, how it was really done. There was no more talk that night.
