~ All My Heart, All the Joy

Ooh Baby, Baby Please ~

"Heero!!" Wufei gasped surprised, as he saw Heero standing under the doorway, looking very grim and mad.

"Wufei....." Heero clenched his jaw, looking murderously at Duo, who glared back. "What the hell are you doing with this bastard?"

Wufei glanced at the both of them, as the air around them became chilly. "He's my friend, Heero," Wufei replied, softly. "And he's not a bastard."

Heero snorted, "He may not seem like it to you, but I know a bastard when I see one."

Duo smirked, "Takes one to know one."

Heero looked pissed before he step forward and took a swing at Duo. Fortunately for Duo, he dodged before it took serious effects. Duo cocked his wrists, knowing a fight would ensue. But it was Wufei who interfered.

"What the hell are you doing, Heero? You don't go treating my friends like that!!" Wufei yelled at Heero, standing between the growling boys.

"He isn't't a friend to me. He isn't good for you," Heero said tonelessly.

This irritated Wufei, "Who gave you the right to judge my friends? Who gave you the right to tell me who is good for me and who isn't?"

Heero didn't say anything but just stared at Duo, with a look that sent chills down Duo's spine. "I don't like this bastard. And when I don't like bastards, I don't let them get away with it..."

Duo was shaking with anger. With a might that surprised Duo himself, he swerved and gave a surprised Heero an upper-cut. The impact from wrist to jaw, sent Heero's head back and a bruising bruise on his skin.

Heero looked surprised before he menacingly wiped a little drop of blood from his lip. "You little shit!!" With that, he charged at Duo, both fists cocked and limp, wanting badly to bruise the other boy.

'Stop it, Heero!! Duo!! Heero! I said stop it!!" Wufei shouted but in turn, ignored by the furious pair.

Heero smirked at Duo,"Why don't you punch, chicken shit? This getting to tough for you?"

Duo danced around Heero, both boys cocking their fists, waiting for an opportunity to pounce on the other. "Chicken shit? Looks who's talking. You arrogant, possessive psychopath!!"

Heero sneered as he faked a punch,"You don't deserve Wufei. You.."he swung at Duo who in turn ducked,"bitch!!"

Wufei looked at them dismayed when he saw other people coming out of their dorm-rooms, wanting to know what the commotion was about. "Duo!! Heero, just stop it!! Please!!" he turned to Heero.

"Stay out of this, Wufei...You don't want to get hit do you?" Heero replied as he stared at Duo. "Come on Duo, take a chance on me! Come on, hit me..What? Too scared? 'Oh, I'm Duo and I'm a perfect gentleman!! Ooh...I'm a freaking fake!! See...I'm hitting on Wufei 'cause I want to get in his freaking pants!!'" Heero mimicked.

Duo in turn got mad. He rushed to an un-expected Heero and socked his jaw. "Don't ever call me a fake!!" Duo roared as Heero crashed to the wall.

Heero's eyes narrowed as he touched his aching jaw. "So chicken shit does have strength. And here I was thinking he was a pansy..." Looking at the enraged Duo, he smirked. "Looks like we have an audience, chicken shit."

Duo whirled around to see a crowd forming around them. He was too engrossed with hitting Heero, he forgot about Wufei.' Oh god, Wufei!!'

Too engrossed with his thoughts, he didn't see the punch Heero aimed at his lower jaw. Startled, Duo fell dizzily on the floor while Heero rushed down on him and swerved another punch. Duo swung out his legs desperately and hit Heero's chest as Heero was about to come down on him. Heero cursed as he fell back on to the floor.

Duo could hear someone saying,"Oh no!! Here come's the principal!!", as he scrambled onto his feet.

Desperately searching for Wufei, Duo didn't see Heero swing his leg but instead felt pain as he fell on to the floor again. Grinning madly, Heero got back on his feet again and walked painfully, almost slowly, to where Duo fell. Then with his hand, Heero grabbed Duo's brown braid and began to yank it painfully.

Duo could feel little tears in his eyes as shock waves from his hair roots went into his brain.

"Heero!! I already said stop it!! Heero, let go of him!! Heero!!" Duo couldn't see Wufei but could hear his rich, soft voice. He couldn't loose to this bastard! He could hear Heero's voice so quietly in his ear, so that only Duo could hear.

"See? Why isn't Wufei helping you? He's right there, standing next to crowd. He's strong enough to beat me up and help your sorry ass, but why isn't he? You know why?" Heero grinned maniacally.

Duo could hear Quatre's gentle voice over the crowd. "Duo!! Duo!! Stand up!!"

Heero smirked as he continued,"You know why? Because Wufei is honorable. See? Hmmph!! You're weak.....Wufei is strong....Therefore, Wufei cannot be with you....And I'll do anything to make sure it stays that way!!"

Heero's words flared Duo up. Surprising Heero, he took his arms judo style and threw him onto the floor. Heero fell with a loud * bam!*

Gasping for air, Duo could hear the principal's voice through the loud, excited crowd..

"Duo!! Heero!! Stop it this instance!! I said stop it!! Both of you!!" Principal Zechs shouted over the din.

But both boys ignored him as they stood up, eyeing each other dangerously.

Impatient and enraged, Heero threw himself onto Duo, slamming the boy to some near lockers. Then swinging his fists, he punched maniacally at Duo.

But before his fist could reach Duo's face, someone had anticipated his fist. Heero's eyes widened as he saw who it was.

There was a loud silence from everyone as they waited to see what would happen.

Duo's eyes opened groggily as he scanned the now-silent room. His jaw gaped as he took in the picture of Wufei standing in the middle of him and Heero, a glowing red mark on his face. Some of his hair had fallen onto his angry face, freed from the impossibly,tight pony tail.

Heero was shocked. "Wufei....What....what the hell are you doing? You......I mean.....you never interfered in my fights!!"

Wufei glared at the both of them. "You're fighting my friend, Heero. I told you both to stop..." But before he could finish, an angered Duo rushed at Heero.

"You bastard!! How dare you hit Wufei!!" Duo had mis-heard this, and knocked Heero to a nearby, glass door.

Heero's eyes looked surprised as he hit the glass door."Why, you motha fucka!! Take that!!" He aimed a fist at Duo's stomach.

But Heero missed and Duo stepped back, not taking his eyes away. "Outside," he gritted out. Not waiting for an answer from Heero, Duo pushed him and both of them tumbled onto the sweet, grass while unexpected rain fell on them.

Duo could see the smirking face below him, all arrogant and mocking. 'Bastard!! Freaking bastard!!'

Duo couldn't understand why Heero kept smirking and looking behind his back.

"Come on, chicken shit...Hit me....come on.....scared, chicken shit?" Duo was so full of anger, he didn't realise the encouraging tone Heero had in his voice. "Chicken shit...chicken shit.....You'll never have Wufei...Understand? Wufei is MINE!!"

The last words was all the encouragement Duo needed to haul his fist back and launched a haymaker. This time, there was nothing that stopped the fist from hitting flesh.

Heero fell back on the grass in real pain as Duo fought to control the anger he had in him. But god, did it feel good to punch the bastard out. He didn't see Wufei approaching them.

"Duo? Oh, god...Heero!! Heero!! Heero!" A worried Wufei kneeled to his fallen friend while Duo looked at him, confused.

A moan filled with pain came from Heero's lips as Wufei quickly nursed his broken jaw.

"Heero...Heero..Can you hear me?" Wufei asked worriedly. Duo could see Heero open his eyes in pain.

"Wufei?......"

'What? What's Heero doing? I've seen him take punches even harder than this without even complaining!!'

Duo shook his head, trying to clear his head. "Wufei-"

Wufei shook his head, not looking at him. "Duo......I don't want to talk to you right now....."

Duo could feel tears in his eyes. "But......Wufei-"

Wufei did turn his head to him but his eyes were filled with tears, pain and what was that?-humiliation?

"Please, Duo...I don't,"Wufei gave a shaky sighed,"I don't want to talk to you right now......Heero...he needs my help..."

Duo opened his mouth but nothing came out of it. He wanted to touch Wufei, to say something..but nothing came out....He didn't even realise that a hand was furiously shaking his shoulder.

"Duo!! Come to my office NOW!!" The principal roared.

Duo felt his head dropped as he glanced at Wufei's now turned back. Before turning around he saw Heero opening his eyes and smirking at him triumphantly..

"Duo!! What is taking you so long? If you don't hurry up right now then it's expulsion for you!!" The principal roared.

Duo turned away and followed the principal in defeat. He may of won the fight, but he was never going to get Wufei back....

~ Rush Rush

Rush Rush ~

Quatre was pissed. He had tried to get Duo into their very exciting conversation but the only thing that came out of Duo's mouth was a "Nheh."

Fuming, Quatre looked at his best friend and glared at him.

"Will you please stop moping? You're not going to change anything just by moping around,"Quatre said to a very secluded Duo.

Duo turned around and instead, started picking at his food.

Quatre sighed inwardly.'Damn! He's still hooked on him!'

It had been a week after the incident between Duo and Heero. It had been a horrible week for Quatre, for he had to hear Duo's anguished sighs and depressed moans. And how many times had he have to hear Duo's self pity? "Quatre...he hates me!! He hates me!!"

Quatre sighed again.

"Quatre.......Do you think? Well, do you think he'll talk to me again?" Duo asked as he stared at his plate. Quatre sighed inwardly again. It hurt to see the cheerful Duo turn into a sad, depressed err..person.

"Duo....I just don't know," Quatre admitted. Quatre didn't see the Chinese boy at all the past week. Usually, Wufei would be sitting at the table at the back but...........

"I love him......I love him, Quatre!!" Duo wailed, earning curious stares from the people in the other table.

"Duo!! Stop wailing!! God, how embarrassing,"Quatre mumbled to himself.

"I know you love him...Why don't you go up to him and tell him that?" He asked Duo.

But Duo shook his head. "I can't......I can't.....He.....I can't face him after I hit Heero..."

"But Heero started it!!"

Duo nodded,"I know..but it was my fault too.. Quatre!!! What am I going to do?"

Quatre sat in silence, thinking to himself. He was so engrossed in his thoughts that he didn't notice a shadow looming over him and Duo.

"Well, well," Quatre heard a nasal voice,"If it isn't the loser. Hey, loser."

Duo looked up, his expression never changing as he realized who was talking to them. "Heero," Duo said impassively.

Heero smirked as he stood in the middle of his gang.

"I need to talk to the loser. That means you, Duo."

Duo snorted as he glanced at the smirking face,"I know my own name. Unlike you, who has to have people around telling him everything 'cause your head's to thick..And besides, I did win in our fight.."

Heero glared down at Duo flushing slightly, his bandage visible.

"I just came to this dirty spot because I want to challenge you in a battle of smarts, which I'm sure you don't have, skills and for Wufei."

Duo gaped at that name. "Wufei? What's he got to do with this?"

Heero snorted,"Idiot. Well? Have you made up your mind?"

Duo looked undecided as he stared at that un-trusting face. He couldn't back down from the challenge Heero had for him. If he declined, he would look like a coward to the students listening in to their conversation. And Wufei. God, how he wanted to see him so bad!

Heero sneered. He knew the chicken shit would back out. He waited impatiently.

Finally, Duo nodded. "I accept."

Grinning with a glint in his eye, Heero held out his hand which Duo shook hard.

"I knew you would accept it, Duo." He lied. 'Idiot! Anything that has to do with Wufei, he'll accept!'

Duo looked at him. "So?"

"So what?"

"The challenge. What do I have to do?"

Heero grinned. 'This was too much fun!' "You and I will go racing on Deathman's cliff (1)two days from now.There are no rules. Just racing in our motorcycles at night. Who ever wins the race will win Wufei. Understand?"

Duo just gaped as he heard the challenge. 'Deathman's cliff? Oh god, what the hell was he into now?'

Beside him, Quatre screeched. "Duo!! You idiot!! Crazy, crazy idiot!!"

Heero smirked. "I must go now. See you later, loser."

With that, Heero and his gang turned to leave the semi-unconscious Duo and a screaming Quatre. Just as Heero was about to leave the cafeteria, he bumped unexpectedly to a surprised Trowa. Both of them stared at each other before Heero smirked and Trowa silently left to sit with his friends.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

~ Ooh What You Do To Me ~

Quatre sighed for what seemed like the hundredth time as he left his book on the library counter. As he turned to pick up his bag, someone had dropped his book on the floor.

Quatre sighed again. As he bent down to retrieve it, someone else had gotten hold of it.

"Oh, I'm terribly sorry!" The person said, holding out the book to him as Quatre stood straight.

"Hey, it's okay. Oh-" Quatre replied as he realized who it was holding the book. "Wufei!"

Wufei looked uncertain as he handed the book back. "Um, this might seem a little rude but how did you know my name?"

Quatre laughed as he realised he had blurted out his name,"Oh! I'm Duo's friend. My name's Quatre. Duo's been talking a lot about you!!"

His words seem to hit Wufei. "Duo?"

"Uhuh! That boy would never shut up about you!! Wish..." Quatre saw the frown on Wufei's face,"Um...never mind. Hey, it's nice meeting you! I'll see you later!"

But before he could leave, Wufei had taken hold of his arm.

"Duo was talking about me?" Wufei said softly. Quatre nodded.

"He....he still...."

"He still likes you," Quatre answered for him. Wufei glanced at him.

"He probably hates me now......"

Quatre shook his head.

"Believe me.. He still likes you...Dammit, Wufei!! He's crazy about you!! Every time at lunch time from the first day he saw you, he's been saying,'Wufei this' 'Wufei that', I sometimes wish I could hit him every time he mentioned your name," Quatre giggled.

Wufei still looked shocked as he let this in.

Suddenly, Quatre turned serious. Leaning forward, he looked at Wufei closely.

"You didn't...you didn't hear about the challenge?"

Wufei blinked at this. "Challenge?"

Quatre exclaimed,"You mean...you didn't hear about the challenge?"

Wufei shook his head.

"You mean....I mean....Heero and Duo are both duelling for you!!"

Wufei gaped."Whaat?"

"That was my reaction, too. Heero had came up to Duo and asked if he wanted to do a race on Deathman's cliff!! And that idiot agreed!! Because he wanted you, Wufei!! Winning the race would be the only ticket to seeing you again, Wufei. Duo won't back down from the challenge. But maybe...maybe....you could stop him," Quatre pleaded to Wufei.

Wufei just looked at him, sadly."He and Heero? What? Ticket to seeing me? But.." He looked at Quatre. "I can't talk to him, Quatre. I........"

Quatre was mad and tired. "You what? Why can't you?"

"It's just....Just.....He'll hate me......"

Quatre sighed," Wufei, how many times do I have to say this? Duo...is..crazy about you....Comprendre?"

"But........" Wufei sighed gently," I miss him too...."

Quatre grinned. "So this means you'll talk to him?"

"I...I'll think about it.."

Quatre sighed as he turned away,"I hope you do talk to him, Wufei. You can knock some sense into him.."

~ *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Duo glared at everybody sitting on the table. They glared right back at him. He should be worrying about the challenge but today, he didn't really care.

"Quatre...another day and then the challenge will go on," He said to his friend.

Quatre just looked at him before he drank his milk. "You won't back down?"

Duo grinned,"Hell, no!! If I back down then I'll lose to that psychopath and no way am I going to loose my manhood!!"

"It's dangerous, you know....The weather report said there will be rain tomorrow......."

"Na ah!! Nothing you say will make me back down....."

"How about if someone else says it?" Another voice spoke up.

Duo glanced up and almost chocked on his sandwich.

"Wufei!!"

Wufei smiled a little smile like he used to before the fight,"Duo.. May I sit down?"

Duo nodded enthusiastically. Wufei sat on the chair facing him.

"What's up?" Duo asked, ignoring the annoying people listening in to their conversation.

Wufei smiled,"Nothing much...The same...."

"Aahh..."

Wufei glanced at him before he opened his mouth but thought better of it and shut it.

"What were you going to say?" Duo asked Wufei.

"Nothing..."

"It must of been something...I'm listening," Duo said, smiling.

Wufei looked at him. "Duo, I heard about the challenge......Why are you doing this? I mean....risking your life just to prove to Heero that you're better than him? I don't think it's worth it..."

Duo narrowed his eyes."It is worth it!! That bastard needs to be taught a lesson!! And another thing, I respect myself!! I ain't going to be bowing down to that dirty, slimy shit- head if that's the last thing I do!! Oh yeah and one thing, I don't need people like you and Quatre telling me what to do!!" Duo shouted, not realising that he was babbling. And when Duo babbled, he never realised what he said until it was too late.

Wufei looked surprised as he heard Duo shouting at him then furiously, got up from the table and glared at him.

"You don't shout at me, Duo!! If you think risking your life for a silly challenge is important to you, then be it!! I don't care any more!!" Wufei shouted back as he hurriedly walked away.

Duo blinked. 'The hell?' Then seeing Wufei walk away from him, Duo got up quickly and ran to catch Wufei. As soon as he was near, Duo grabbed Wufei's arm and pulled him to him.

~ When You Kiss Me

Up And Down

Turn My Senses All Around

Oh baby, Oh Baby ~

Surprised, Wufei whirled around only to see violet depths. Duo grinned, catching Wufei's lips with his own and shared a a sweet, burning kiss that left them both breathless. And left most of the students in the cafeteria gaping.

"I'm doing it for you, Wufei," Duo whispered into his ear as he turned around, leaving a blushing Wufei.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Outside, unknown to everyone in the cafeteria, Heero was standing furiously having seen the little show that Duo-that slut, was doing to his Wufei.

'I'll get Wufei even if it means killing you, Duo!!'

~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~

(1) Heh heh....Saw this in a movie somewhere...heh heh!! Stinking crap, Deathman's cliff is where Duo and Heero will be racing..I wanted it to be like drag racing...Ya know in the fifties when two guys fight over a girl and crap like that?

The girl would stand in the middle of the pathway and one car would be on her right and another one on her left. Then she raises her hand, a scarf or whatever would be on her hand and when she signals it down, the cars would start racing.

Anyway, I think you guys know about it.

Very, very dangerous..... Wokay...
