"How can I help you?" Duo asked, opening the door of Quatre's mansion
where all the pilots were staying for the season. He found a woman about
his own age (or so she looked) standing on the threshold soaked to the bone
by the pouring rain outside.
"Is Heero there?" asked a shivering voice.
"No, he just left, but please come inside and warm up." Duo led the woman into a cozy room with a fireplace and overstuffed furniture. He brought her a set of one of Quatre's sister's clothes so that the woman could change into something warmer.
"What's your name?" Duo asked after the woman came back into the room after changing.
"Ryoko."
"Oh shit!" Duo shouted. "You came here to see Heero. He's on his way back to the Musaki shrine right now! Shit. He wanted to talk to you."
"He's going back? But what for?" Ryoko asked, quite confused. "He said he had to come back here...that he couldn't stay."
Duo sighed. "I'm probably not supposed to tell you this, but he went back because he wanted to find a way for things to work between you two. He loves you."
At hearing this, a tear rolled down Ryoko's cheek. "I love him too. Wait, when did he leave?"
"Just about 6 hours ago..."
"So he should have gotten back to the shrine by now! Could you call him for me?"
"Sure."
"Thank you Mr...I don't believe I got your name."
"Maxwell, Duo Maxwell, but you can just call me Duo."
"Thank you Duo."

"Hello?" Ayeka asked as she opened the door to the Musaki house. "Heero!" She was shocked to find him standing in the doorway.
"I need to talk to Ryoko."
"Sh...she's not here..."
"What do you mean she's not here?" Heero asked.
"I mean...well...she's on her way to that Quatre guy's house looking for you..."
"When did she leave?"
"About 6 hours ago..."
"Thanx." Heero said as he ran out the door and back to the airport.
~~~~~
He left his home to go back and talk to me...I thought he didn't want to leave...that he was happy here...so he does care. He truly does...
~~~~~
God, I've got to get back to her. But what if she comes back to the Musaki house before I get home? I can't think about that now. I'd fly back here again if that's what it took to work things out. She flew to Quatre's...she must care to have left...she was willing to leave? God, I love her, please don't let her leave.
A.N. ~ I know this is a short chapter & it took me a long time to get it out. I lost the story after I was halfway done and couldn't find it for a while. I'll be quicker next time, I promise.
