^_^ I love you guys. *smiles widely and glomps onto everyone* All of your comments are very 
inspiring.  Arigato. 

I thought you would figure out the vocal chord thing earlier considering Duo actually kept 
his mouth shut for more than five seconds.
Duo: "Hey, shut up, baka!" *Duo pummels plude.*
Heero: "You're just mad cause she's right." *joins the fray* 
Wufie: "Injustice!  I want to fight too!" *joins brawl*
Quatre: "Come on guys, don't fight.  Let's all be friends. *everyone closes in around 
Quatre*
Trowa: "Don't mess with Quatre." *Trowa jumps in*
*plude crawls out from the dust*
plude: "Guys, who's going to clean all this up?"
*everyone freezes in place an facefaulters*

Ok on with the story.   I love Duo, his hair, and his voice and would never harm them.  I 
own none of this.  Please don't sue.

                                                       "Change" Chapter 6

"This one will be fun to break... fun to break..... fun to break......"
Duo woke up with a silent scream.  He opened his eyes to a glaringly  white ceiling and 
three gundam piolets staring at him as though he was some kind of science exhibit.  Needless 
to say, this pissed him off more than a little.  He started to get up and show them just how 
much when he realized he was cuffed down.

"We....we didn't want another fight... heh.  I mean, you already have broken ribs," Quatre 
stated while trying to get his innocent look going, but failing miserably.

Duo spit on him so hard it almost left a bruise.
Everyone, now, stood back not wanting to know what he would do next.  A nurse came in with 
some food.  Duo closed his eyes and clamped his mouth shut tight.
"If you won't eat, we will have to feed it to you through a tube in your nose," the nurse 
said smiling.  She remembered the ‘old' Duo.  When he didn't even smile.  She grimaced.  Duo 
ate, but was quite pissed.  The nurse shooed the other piolets off saying that he needed 
some rest.



Heero cracked open an eye and made the same judgement that Duo had about the ceiling.  
Someone defiantly needs to paint in here.  Heero squeezed his eyes shut and felt pain stream 
down from his nose as the bones ground together.  That's when he remembered his broken nose. 
 Suddenly, his half-awake thoughts were interrupted by a small "click, click, click..."  
Heero jumped to his feet dispite his cracked ribs hurting and broken nose making him dizzy.

Duo was almost free of the cuffs when Heero walked around the room divider.  He had one arm 
and both legs free and was working on the other arm. 
"Going somewhere?"

#Now, he makes a joke,# Duo thought bitterly.

Duo ignored Heero and continued his pursuit of freedom.  Heero calmly walked up and grabbed 
Duos free arm forcing him to drop the lock pick.  Duo attempted to kick him, feeling the 
pain of his own broken ribs.  Heero let go, stepped back, and Duo fell to the ground with a 
‘thud', grabbing his ribs with his free arm.  Heero glared down at Duo and he just looked 
away.

#Guess he's pretty damn happy.  He finally got me to shut up.......forever.#

Heero just stood there, not sure what to say.  He wanted to say, "Duo, we'll get through 
this," or "Duo I'm so sorry", or anything that would make all the boys pain and ache go 
away, maybe even...  #What am I thinking?  I'm such a baka.  That would only make things 
worse.#

"Duo...... Wha... What happened to you?"  Heero had finally given in and went with the 
question burning a hole through him.

Duo glared up at Heero.  All went uncomfortably silent. *blink, blink...  blink,blink*


Hope yous guys enjoyed this segment.                                           Laters, plude
