Duo wakes up to a sharp scream out side his apartment that made him think someone was dying. He jumps up out of bed and makes his way sleepily to look out his window into the gloomy starless night and sees a young girl being felt over but some guy. The girl screams for help again and thinks oh gawd I'm going to die I wish I never moved here... The young girl prays some one will hear her but doubts anyone will and she feel her tears running down her know pale cheeks. He stares and then quickly grabs his gun and quietly slips outside the door and is thankful for all his Gundam training. When he gets up behind him the guy has begun to slowly lift up the girls top. Duo sees that the girl who appeared to be around his age was shaken badly, very pale and crying. He quickly and silently slams the handle of his gun against the guys head and knocks him out immediately and he slumps to the ground.

The girl stares horrified and with a look of terror on her face, the first thing she thinks is 'oh gawd now what is this guy going to do to me?..' and then she collapses all of her strength gone from trying to fight the first guy off also and then curls into a ball shaking, and rocking back and forth trying to stay warm. He watches her for a few moments thinking about what he should do with her half afraid she may try to fight him out of fear and then comes to the conclusion that he couldn't just leave her here especially sense it seemed as if she was going into shock so he decides he has no choice but to take her to his apartment. He hopes that she wont try to fight him and feels very bad and sorry for her because of what she went through and he gently lifts her into his arms and carries her to his apartment.

The girl feels the warmth of his skin and silently prays he wont try to harm her to but then thinks 'why would he save me if all he wanted to do was harm me more?'. Next he quickly opens the door to his apartment and turned the lights on in his living room and gently sits her down on the couch and quickly grabs a blanket from a chair and troughs it over her so she won't freeze. She curls up into a ball again her arms wrapped around her legs with her head on her knees.

Now Duo finally gets a chance to actually inspect her and sees a huge bruise across her left cheek ,a black and blue eye as if she were punched, a small cut on her lip and bruises up and down both of her arms. He also notices that her one of the straps on her thin navy blue tank top was ripped. After a few more minutes of deciding whether or not he should try talking to her he finally asks "Are you ok?".

The girl just sits there rocking back and forth.. tears still streaming down her pale cheeks from her dark blue eyes. Duo starts to become slightly afraid that he wasn't careful she would go into shock so he moves and sits next to her and carefully slips his arm around her and rubs her arm and draws her to him hoping he would warm her up. The girl tenses every muscle in her body becomes stiff and she thinks 'gawd please no..' after a few minutes of nothing happing she relaxes and begins to shake a little less and after about 15 minutes to half an hour more she finally slips into a light sleep.

Duo slowly gets up form the couch after observing her movements he gently lays her out on the couch and remembers the guy who he believes as trying to rape her so he quickly walks to the window and sees that the guy was already gone. He shrugs and locks the door and then quietly walks over to the chair and sits down to ponder his thoughts and falls asleep.

The next morning the girl wakes up and sees that the man who saved her was still asleep in the chair and it looked like to her that he had slept there the whole night. she sighs and looks around the room observing ever little detail sense she hadn't had the chance to the pervious night. first she sees the navy blue carpet and deep sea blue chairs and couch on which see was sitting, next are two black end tables and one black coffee table. On top of the end tables are crystal lamps which are in front of two huge windows that are covered by blackish blue curtains. After a few more minutes she freezes when she notices that the guy had awakened and was looking at her.

When Duo wakes up and sees the girl examining his living room and see that she was still shaking slightly but not nearly as bad as she was. Also she was sitting with her head on her knees. He tries to smile and asks "hey you feeling better?".

The girl edges away and says "Are you going to try and hurt me too?".

Duo slaps himself mentally and thinks 'I should of known she would be scared of me after some one had just tried to rape her.' He gets up and kneels in front if her and says "I swear I wont harm you,..". The girl looks at him in the eyes, and sees kindness and sincerity in his eyes so she finally decides to trust him and sighs then murmurs "I was so scared, I thought I was, was dead... he wanted to rape me and ki..kill me" her voice breaks and she starts crying again and feels terrible and scared as if she wasn't safe anywhere.

He is quick to decide this time and he wraps his arms around her gently and rubs her back in a calming motion and murmurs "its ok I won't let anyone hurt you, you are safe here.."

She wraps her arms around him and cries into his chest, and realizes that for the first time in many years she actually felt safe and protected. She remembers back when her mother would do this to her and when her older brother would always say he would protect her no matter what, but that was before he was killed by Oz, and she starts to cry harder when she thinks of this.

Duo is a little startled at first by her reaction but doesn't let it show. He notices that she starts to cry harder and really wants to ask her why but decides that he may offended her and that is the last thing that he wants to do so he just sits there and continues to rub her back and tries to mentally figure out what could of made her start to cry like that.
