Best Friends

Duo had a best friend. But during the summer of 12th grade, the war broke out and his best friend was captured and taken away. He promised himself that he would always remember and one day he would go and find her.

I do not own any of the characters in this story. (

Bombing (also contains a short and not very detailed introduction)

Ami and Duo grew up together and played together. When someone was bulling Ami around because Ami was smart, Duo would come out and protect Ami. When the girls would group around Duo and not let Duo walk around and "hunt him down" Ami and Duo would at like a couple and the grills would see that and go away. Ami and Duo were the perfect team and everyone knew that they were best friends and some thought that they were a "thing/item," but they were to young to have boy/girlfriends. They were only in junior high. Throughout junior high, Ami had the best grades and Duo was the best fighter (not mean- bully).

During high school, Ami's intelligence shown brightly and everyone in town knew that she was the smartest kid in town. Some even thought that she was the smartest in Japan. Duo was known as the strongest person in town. He won every competition he was ever in and when he wanted to, never failed to kick a person's butt. The only people he never ever wanted to hurt was his family and friends- especially Ami.

As they got older, the people in the town thought that Ami and Duo would be a couple and if they were, they would be the cutest couple ever. Ami and Duo did have a liking for each other, but they still wanted to be good best friends.

After they were done with the 11th grade- junior in high school, there was a war between Japan and Korea (I have nothing against the two countries…it just picked them because Ami and Duo are in Japan and Korea is next to Japan.) about the Japan Strait (I am not sure if that is what it is called). Japan wanted full control of it and Korea didn't want them to have full control of it. Japan and Korea fought for about 3 months and decided that they needed more manpower and brainpower. Manpower for fighting and brainpower for planning attacks.

So as a result, Japan and Korea started to draft people for different reasons. Ami got drafted for her brainpower and they wanted her to help in planning attacks. Duo was also drafted for his excellent fighting skill. The government thought that Ami and Duo would both benefit the country. Many other people were drafted in their town and people were proud of these people because it meant that they were smart or brave and strong.

On the day that they were going to leave, the Koreans decided to down in on them.

"Duo, they (Koreans) are bombing us!!!!" Ami yelled frightened because she had never seen war or bombs before.

"It's ok, Ami. We will be fine. You and me," Duo said trying to make Ami feel better.

"I am so scared!"

"I know, I know," Duo said, "Ami, the bombs are getting nearer. We needed to run for it!"

Duo and Ami started to run, but in the crowds of people Ami and Duo got separated. The Koreans started to get on foot. They tried to capture people. Ami was easily caught, but Duo was another case. Duo fought of the soldiers and started to look for Ami. He couldn't find her anywhere.

"I lost her!!! I have to find her even if it takes a lifetime," Duo moaned.

A day after the bombing, Duo found out that the Korean soldiers captured Ami and many other people. Duo was in shock. He let go of Ami and Ami was captured.

The war ended in about a month after the bombing but the people captured where not returned, instead the captured were given a home. Duo knew that Ami was in Korea somewhere and decided to learn Korean so then it would be easier for him to find her. He was also going to a college in Korea- the best one there because Ami had to be there and he was smart enough. Duo also for the first time realized that he was in love with Ami and he had to find his love.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Ami was frightened. One minute, she was holding hands with Duo, and the other, she was captured.

"Don't be afraid," the solider told her.

She was afraid and wanted Duo next to her to comfort her. 'Duo where are you? I hope that you are not captured too…,' Ami thought.

She was then pushed into a prison and each day was given food (this is short because I don't want to write about Ami in prison). Ami was alone and confused for the first time in her life. She hated the felling of it. After about a month, the guards let them out and put them in a family.

Luckily she was put in a nice family that already had a boy the same age as she was. The family was happy to have her as part of their family. Ami still missed Duo and wanted to see him and see if he was still alive. Ami picked up Korean quickly and her new family was amazed as to how smart she was. They decided to raise her as a boy with the best education because a brain like that would be a waste not to put it into good use.

Ami was educated with her new brother named Quatre. Quatre was nice to her and protected her like Duo, but didn't have what Duo had. They took a quick liking to each other. Ami was to be head to college and she went to the best college in Korea just like her brother. They were to have a dorm together. Quatre had a group of three friends- Wufei, Trowa, and Heero. As time went on Ami and Wufei became a couple. Ami hand around the boys and the boys always welcomed her.

Ami changed a lot since the bombing and looked very different, but she still had that "Ami's taste" to her. Ami grew to adjust to the Korean traditions and was well known in her town as the smartest girl. Through every change in life, Ami still missed Duo every single day at night.

AN: I repeat…I don't have anything against Japanese people or Koreans…please don't be mad…please r/r ^_^
