This is a story that both Shinigami and Me(akkiko) came up with while on a camp together. It was inspired by A few Evanescence and Nickel Back songs, particularly, Savin' Me (for Heero) and Far away (for Duo).

The main pairing HeeroxDuo, which must be said, is the best yaoi anime pairing of all time. Following this a few other common pairings followed, TrowaxQuatre, a brief ZechsxNoin and TreizexZechs. However as the storyline progressed a WufeixNoin one should appear.

Anyways I'm rambling lol. I hope you enjoy it.

"Heero!"

Heero turned to face Duo who was standing in the house door way in a terrible state. He was still in his black silk pyjamas, the top few buttons were un-done and it hung half off his shoulder. The bottom of his braid had come out and is hair was sticking up like straw. After only a few seconds duos feet were freezing cold from standing on the stone door step.

"Hee-chan it's two in the morning, where are you going?" asked Duo in a sleepy voice.

Heero kept his emotionless mask and his fixed gaze on Duo.

Duo stared back at Heero "You have a mission? Don't you?"

Heero gave one firm nod which sent a worrying shiver down Duo's spine.

"I have a bad feeling about this, please Heero don't go," he pleaded.

Heero turned back at Duo "I'll see you at the harbour in the week."

Heero set off down the drive way his bag slung over his shoulder.

"Please Hee-chan don't go, I love you," whispered Duo but these words did not reach Heeros' ears.

Heero spent the greater part of a week, five days to be precise; on heavy surveillance of the oz base. He was always fully alert; sleep was not a necessity for the perfect soldier. Nevertheless he did like the nights spent when Duo had fallen asleep in his lap on the sofa. However this was spoilt when Duo awoke apologising for causing trouble for Heero. The things Duo said while apologising gave Heero a hollow pain in his chest which he was not familiar with. Heero had planned to talk to Quatre about this thinking the caring Arabic would know the problem but he had never got round to it with his frequent missions. He must remember to ask him when he finished this one.

After some final important decisions like which virus to use Heero was ready to enter the dragons' lair...

Heero approached the building stealthily the surveillance cameras blind stops working to his advantage. He reached the wall of the building moving swiftly, as he knew that a guard would come round the corner to finish his duty as the foot soldier did every day. Heero quickly shot into the unlocked door to his right. This amused Heero. The great organisation OZ can't lock one little door.

Heero ran silently down the bland grey hall ways knowing his way around the building like the back of his hand. He stopped at a large metal door with a small plaque reading main computer room. A question popped into his mind "where are the guards?" but he dismissed it without a second thought. He pushed the heavy door open with ease and stepped into the dark room. The door shut smoothly behind him. The gentle glow of a large computer screen was the only light source in the darkness. This, however, did not affect Heero as he had memorized all the blue prints. He slotted a blank disk drive into the computer and speedily hacked into the main frame and downloaded all the files. He removed the disk and inserted another which sent his chosen virus through the whole system corrupting all the files he'd just downloaded. Heero slotted the disk with the files on into his back pocket of his spandex space and exited the way that he came.

He was cornered, with well over two hundred guards in front of him all of them holding guns Heero had never seen before. By the time Heero had registered what was happening, which was only about a second or two; several guards had blocked the door to the main computer room. Heero pulled out his gun but five darts were fined into his arm sending his gun flying into the group of soldiers. Heero made a movement to run left the soldiers saw this and moved to block his way. This created an opening; Heero took this chance and ran right, knocking a handful of guards over. Heero shot down the hallway as fast as his legs would take him. He could no longer feel nor move the arm which had been shot so it swung limply by his side. Heero heard a hurry of feet behind him and a hail storm of darts shot into his back. His body was slowly going numb but he kept running. He came to an abrupt stop as his way was blocked with guards. Standing at the front of them was Zech Marquise pointing the unusual gun at Heero.

"Give up and sleep 01," he said before firing a dart at Heeros chest aiming near his heart, close enough to make the dart work but far enough away that it didn't kill him from the needle

The last dart had done it; it had finally finished the unbeatable perfect soldier. Heero fell forward crashing hard on the floor. As his mind began to shut down one last thought ran through his head,

"God dammit Duo, why do you have to be right this time?"
