Is anyone out there still reading this story? 
Duo: "No!"
Plude: "How would you know?"
Duo: "I am Shingami!  I know all!"
Plude: "Oh yeah?  What's the square root of 859,743,967,459,067.09857?"
Duo: "......."

Heero cracked open an eye to see Duo lying on the floor across from him.  He looked pretty 
beat up.
#Damn... I've failed.  Hope the others finish the mission.#

Heero looked down at his amazingly still-present communicator watch to see words fly across 
it for the first time since the mission began.
#He must be dreaming.#

The same words repeated themselves on the screen.
~You'll be fun to break.  You'll be fun to break...~

Heero frowned.  This all seemed a little too familiar.  He wanted so much to grab Duo and 
hold him and tell him it would all be alright because he was going to make it alright.

Duo suddenly awoke with a silent scream.  He looked around the room to see Heero with a very 
strange look on his face.


Heero was holding back tears when he felt Duo's silent scream.  He didn't just see it, but 
felt it rip through deep down somewhere he just couldn't explain.
#What's he staring at?#

Heero then realized that Duo was staring at the screen on his wrist that still displayed 
Duo's most recent thoughts.

Their almost-confrontation was put to a halt when Wufei busted open the door.

"Come on.  The others are taking care of what's left.  Let's get out of here!"

Heero stood up.  Duo struggled to no avail in his pursuit to stand.

Before Heero could move, or Duo could argue, Wufei picked up Duo and tossed him over his 
shoulder.  Duo shuddered.

"You ok?" Wufei asked with as minimal concern as he could muster.

Duo nodded, but continued to shake furiously.  Wufei, ignoring his current concern, ran down 
the hall to the warehouse.  Heero followed suit.

When they arrived, Wufei placed Duo in Shinigami and strapped him down.

The three piolets took off. 



Trowa and Quatre were stalking down the hall when they noticed Heero and Duo getting caught 
between a rock and a hard gun.  Quatre knew that he had a bad feeling about bringing Duo 
along with broken ribs and Heero still drunk.  Luckily, they ran into Wufei.

"I took care of sector 5 and 6.  You guys finish up, and I'll take care of them."



That was how Quatre and Trowa had ended up flying home together. 
Trowa pondered this, as he stared down at the image of Quatre on his monitor.

"Is something wrong, Trowa?"

"No."

"I know something is bothering you after what happened earlier."

"What are you talking about?"

Quatre sighed.  This guy just wasn't going to throw him a bone.

"You know what I'm talking about, Trowa."

Trowa raised an eyebrow.

"Come on Trowa.  All of us have had girl problems at one point or another.  It's no big 
deal."

Now, Trowa really was confused.

"What *are* you talking about?"


If you are still reading, let me know, please!  Gomen this took so long.  I have been busy 
with props for a play I'm doing this next weekend.
