A weird little tale of Duo & Heero's kid & her friends in kindergarten; just cute & silly
Duo looked at his blue-eyed, brown-haired imp of a daughter sitting on his knee and said, "Hey, Fu, how was kindergarten today?" They were sitting on the couch, watching a basketball game. She's so cute, he thought, looking at their child genetically engineered from the both of them. She had Heero's coloring but Duo's looks and personality. Even with science, you couldn't always tell what you were getting.
"Call her Fuyuka, not Fu," chided Heero, who was listening from the kitchen. He was making Fuyuka's favorite dish, nabeyaki udon. It was his turn to cook as Duo had made spaghetti and meatballs the night before.
Fuyuka beamed and said, "There were lots of nice kids there."
"Tell me about them," said Duo.
"Well, one was named Juni Barton-Winner. He had brown hair that covered half his face and pretty blue eyes. His hair's so soft, it just grows that way naturally just like his dad's. He's so quiet and sweet. He just smiles and looks at you all soft and gentle. I like him. He invited me over for a tea party."
"Sounds sweet."
In the kitchen, Heero cracked a smile at the enthusiasm of his daughter's voice. She's so much like Duo, he thought.
"He is. I couldn't resist. I glomped him and said, 'I love you, baka.'"
Duo frowned, "Uh, why did you call him baka?"
"Well, Daddy, isn't that what Dad calls you?"
Duo scowled and turned towards the kitchen. "Heero, she's picked up one of your bad habits."
"Be quiet!" snapped Heero.
"How about the rest of the children?"
"Well, I met Mulan Chang-Po. She's got pretty black hair with brown eyes. She likes to say girls are tons better than boys. She says it drives her father crazy, but her mother just smiles. She's really good at fighting. She says her mother bugged her father into teaching her. She's so cool." Then she sighed and looked sad. "But there's one boy I can't stand."
"Who, munchkin?"
"Damian Peacecraft-Khushrenada. He's absolutely horrible. He's got funny eyebrows and likes to talk to himself all the time. He's got the worst friends and tells everyone I'm his girlfriend, but it's not true! He keeps following me around and asking me to be his friend. I tore up his birthday invitation and stomped it right in front of him. No matter how many times I keep telling him 'Omae o korosu', he won't stop. I should beat him up, but he's so pathetic I can't do it." Fuyuka began weeping, partly because she was upset, and partially because she really needed a nap. "Why does he like me?"
Duo mussed up her hair. "Silly girl, go to sleep."
Fuyuka protested, "I don't want to. I'm not tired. I'm... " Within a few minutes, she had quieted down and gone to sleep. Duo put her down on the couch and put a blanket over her, then switched off the TV.
Duo heard a very familiar sound from the kitchen, a metallic click, then Heero murmur, "Mission acknowledged."
Duo walked into the kitchen to see Heero holding a semi-automatic handgun.
"What's that for?" said Duo.
"Damien must be dealt with."
"Heero! Put that thing down!"
The End
