Chapter One: Four Rescuers for Quatre

Quatre opened his locker, humming as he thought about what he had to do by the end of the day. He grinned as he turned on his palm pilot. Clicking on daily calendar, he sighed at what he saw. 'Finish school, hang out with Wufei and Trowa, go to class, and get ready for Father's dinner party tonight.' Clicking the palm pilot off, Quatre placed it in it's' carrier and then glanced up at a picture of Wufei, Trowa, and himself stretched over a pile of leaves at Wufeis' house.

Quatre smiled and became breathless at the memory of the three of them later on that day making love in Wufeis' bedroom. Quatre smirked as he remembered stroking them both, Trowa touching him, Wufei arching up against him, moaning his name as they feel into a waltz of pure bliss. Quatre gasped at the emotions that such memories with his lovers caused his space heart to feel. Making love to the two of them was always joyous and it amazed Quatre how fortunate he was. It also amazed him how ignorant and intolerable people in the world could be.

It was common knowledge that the three were a couple and no one seemed to approve. This in and of it's self had repercussions, the three were pretty much outcast; not that that really mattered to any of them because the school feared Wufei and Trowa. Hell even the principle had stated his disgust and had even gone as far as to call their parents. Trowa, who had no parents but rather his sister Catherine, was given a lecture about staying safe from gay bashers. Catherine had known even before her brother that Trowa was gay, and did not mind at all. Catherine loved having Quatre and Wufei; she babied and pampered all three of them.

Quatre's father, who was unreachable most of the time, had left a man named Rashid in charge of Quatre's schoolwork. He occasionally asked for reports and Rashid, who loved Quatre dearly, was happy that Quatre was in love. Quatre's father didn't even know that Quatre was gay. Rashid knew the secret and had made a promise to himself to take it to the grave. Quatres' happiness was very important to Rashid. Quatre was an obedient boy who was being groomed to take over the business when Arad Winner died. Quatre deserved all the happiness he could get. And Rashid wasn't the only one that took care of Quatre who felt that way; all the people who took care of Quatre didn't mind the fact that he preferred men to women. And Wufei, his guardians didn't care at all. They just took care of him to get the foster care check in the mail every month. His guardians had hung up on the principle.

Quatre sighed as he grabbed his binder. 'Why can't they understand that I love them, and that I just want to be happy?' Quatre thought as he closed his locker. 'It doesn't matter I love them and I'm going to be with them no matter what!' And with that thought Quatre turned around and came face to face with football captain and jock extraordinaire

Jonathan Copperfield. "Well, Well, Well, if it isn't the faggot whore, ( AN: No offense to anyone) how are you today? Fucked your retarded boyfriends freak?"

Quatre saw the fist that flew towards his stomach to late and Quatre slid to the ground as he clutched his stomach. He looked up to see himself being surrounded by Jonathan's lackeys and groaned as he felt his space heart overflow with the emotions of hatred around him. He tried to get up and realized that, he was not going anywhere anytime soon. The next blow hit Quatre on his head and he clenched his teeth as he tried to concentrate. 'Come on block it out, block it out; I'm chop liver if you keep this up.' And as if hearing him, his space heart shutdown and all outside feelings left Quatre. He gritted his teeth as he sung out his leg and caught Jonathan making him trip.

Quatre struggled to get up and once he was on his feet he began to look for his way out and bit his lip in worry when he couldn't find one. His space heart once again filled up with emotions that he tried to block with no success, as Jonathan stood up. "That was a lucky shot Winner, you won't get another one, to bad Trowie and Wolf-boy aren't here to save you. Say your prayers faggot." Quatre waited for the hit but it never came as a voice stopped Jonathan's fist.

"Leave him alone." A voice hard with anger hissed. Jonathans and his lackeys turned to see a boy dressed in all black, with a long braid and wide violet eyes make his way up to Jonathan. Jonathan smirked "Well it seems scum sticks together boys; the orphan and the faggot, how original." Duo growled and held his ground saying, "If you touch him, you'll need surgery when I'm done with you." Duo wasn't mad about the orphan comment, he had heard it enough in his life to ignore it, what pissed him off was that people thought they had a right to treat Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei as if they were nothing.

It annoyed Duo that no one could see how beautiful, the commitment and love they shared truly was. Hell half the kids in the school didn't even know what the term monogamy meant and let alone how to practice it. And yet the three had kept it going for over three years, it was amazing to Duo.

Duo loved to watch the three of them and was very jealous of their relationship. Having lost many loved ones had taught Duo that love was beautiful no matter what form it took. Duo didn't want to fight but if Jonathan laid another finger on Quatre, he would not be held responsible for his actions. "What are you going to do orphan?" Jonathan said in a cocky voice.

"Kick your ass," a deep, cold, emotionless voice chimed in for Duo. They all turned to see the newcomer, he was Japanese with cobalt blue eyes that glared at Jonathan and his lackeys and sent shivers down everyone's spine. Heero continued to glare at Jonathan as he thought 'why am I yelling at him again?'

Heero had been walking on his way to lunch when he had heard an intriguing voice. Heero had come to investigate to find a violet-eyed boy that appeared to be protecting a blonde haired boy. When Jonathan had spoken Heero had felt rage swell up in him and he had reacted instantly. 'Baka!' Heero thought the grave insult as he moved to stand next to Duo. 'If Jonathan moves an inch,' Heero thought ready to fight 'things are going to get ugly.'

"Quatre!" called out two terrified voices. Trowa Barton and Chang Wufei came upon the scene of their angel surrounded by Jonathan and his lackeys and two boys that they didn't know glaring at Jonathan, clearly saying 'move and you're dead meat.' Trowa was a boy with a unibang and vibrant green eyes, which at the moment promised bodily harm to the people surrounding Quatre. Wufei had jet-black hair in a ponytail and black onyx eyes that spoke of justice for all accountable for wrong deeds.

Quatre gave his lovers small smiles even as he saw Trowa and Wufei stare at Jonathan and his thugs. Four against eight, Quatre didn't like Jonathan and his groups' odds and decided to intervene as Wufei grabbed Jonathan. Wufei growled as he slammed Jonathan against the lockers, "You're dead meat for touching Quatre." Wufei looked calm and composed but on the inside he was shaking. Having his friend Malaika run and tell him Quatre was in trouble had set his heart pounding and blood boiling. He had run like the hounds of hell were after him and when he saw Lai's girlfriend Tiara and Trowa running too with an enraged look on his face he had run faster.

People knew that hurting Quatre was a sure way to lash out at Trowa and Wufei and when people pushed this button there were always consequences. And for Wufei who had training in many forms of martial arts and Trowa could throw knives and shoot a gun with perfect aim, they always made sure that Quatres' tormentors were paid back in kind for there abuse.

Quatre could defend himself and was excellent swordsman, but he hated to use violence unless absolutely necessary and was always at a disadvantage because he still did not have full control of the barriers that were in place in Quatres' mind to keep unwanted emotions from being felt by his space heart. It was because of this that usually one of them was always at Quatres' side during school hours.

Quatre pleaded with his fuming boyfriend, "Wufei let him go please. He isn't worth suspension." Quatre look at Trowa for support and was not surprised to see his eyes burning holes through Jonathan. Trowa continued to glare at Jonathan as he pulled a frowning Quatre into his arms. Trowa sighed as he looked down at his angel with concerned eyes. His hands went up Quatres' stomach, gently pressing until he felt Quatre wince. Trowa pulled up his shirt to see a big blue bruise had formed. He motioned for his lover to let Jonathan go and Wufei did thinking, 'you are one lucky son of a bitch.'

"Next time," Wufei sneered, "I won't let you get away without a couple of bruises. Get out of my sight." Jonathan and his goons ran fast as Lai came up to Trowa and winking at Quatre said, "Library's open, go there, Ari and I will take care of things here and bring you guy's lunch, see ya later short stuff." With that the five walked away leaving Ari and Lai to shoo people to lunch.

Authors Notes: It's better lol, enjoy.

Be safe,
