"Change" Chapter 5
"Nani... What...What is it? What's wrong?"
"Heero.... It's Duo. They... they removed his vocal chords."
"They what?!"
"That's why he hasn't said anything."
"Nani?!"
"We... uh... d-didn't notice earlier because he a..always wears those high collared shirts
anyway. It was hiding the scar."
Heero ripped off the collar on Duo's shirt. Their accusations were confirmed. Heero's
normally expressionless face now showed very visible anger. Heero burst through the door
and lay Duo down on a cot. Temporarily letting go of all inhibitions, he then preceded to
grab the nearest doctor and lift them off the ground.
"Fix this!!!"
"I....I..I.I....c...c...can't," the poor doctor replied almost wetting his pants.
"Heero, put him down. It's not his fault, and there's..... there's more," Quatre pleaded.
"What do you mean.... more?"
"Actually, I'm the only one they told. I better let Duo decide if he wants to tell you or
not."
"And HOW exactly is he going to do that?!!!"
Blood was now covering the room from Heero's nose.
"Uhh... Heero, you better take care of your nose."
Heero looked down to see the mess and suddenly remembered the fight. He looked over to the
cot where Duo now lay.
"Um... I might have broken something."
"Sit down and we'll patch you right up."
"No. On Duo. Check him out first."
The realization hit Heero like a ton of bricks. He had just been way too obvious about
caring for Duo. His face turn bright crimson.
"Heero, are you ok? Your face is turning all red? Is it your nose?"
"Yeah Quatre. It's my nose."
Doctors ran over and started to patch Heero up. He finally passed out from exhaustion and
blood loss.
More to come. ^_^
