Summary: A little more on Duo, Wufei, and Quatre's conditions.

Warning: shonen ai, 4/6, mention of 2/3, 1/5. Basically I write nothing past kisses. This fanfiction really has nothing to do with the original story line.

Chapter 11: "...so hard not to blame him..."

Wufei guided the braided American into a dimly lit corridor lined with glass doors. Duo gasped at what he saw behind the slightly foggy glass.

"What in all things wrong are those!" The brunette whispered, trying not to disturb the creatures or whatever they were.

"My guess is Saison Prairie was conducting a few experiments." Wufei assumed.

"So he made some weird people-like things covered in eyes!" Duo let his voice slip, gathering the creatures attention. Duo cringed while he received a rather annoyed glare from his raven-haired friend.

All of the creatures moved to their doors and began pounding on them trying to escape.

"Wufei, let's get out of here." Duo grabbed his friends' sleeve, "I think they want us." Duo tugged at the clothing, trying to drag Wufei back to the door. The Chinese boy started laughing, then slowly turned his head to look at the American, who noticed the eerie yellow of his irises.

Duo quickly let go of the sleeve, his mind worked through the possibilities. "You...are not Wufei." Duo claimed, then turned and ran back to the dark passage. He had to find the others and tell them what was going on. As he ran the sound of glass breaking echoed through the air, and Duo silently cursed the whole situation.

Quatre took a deep breath as he fought against his restraints. When would enough be enough? He stopped fighting and gazed at the narrow stream of light coming from the doorway. Milliardo, where are you? The small blonde thought before closing his eyes. He waited a few seconds, just listening to the silence. Nothing. Absolutely nothing. He opened his eyes again, and vaguely made out a silhouette against the light. The person pushed the door open further and slipped inside.

"Quatre?" A familiar voice asked.

"Is...Is that you, Wufei?" Quatre asked, he felt a sting in his eyes, he hadn't really expected to be saved this time, and now here was Wufei, struggling with metal straps, trying to free him. The bind on his right arm loosened, looks like he wasn't trying, he was succeeding. Quatre let a smile cross his face, "Thank you..."

"For what?"

"For coming after me, even though I told you not to."

"Hah, then you are thanking me for being a concerned friend." Wufei hid a grin, he felt proud of himself for saving Quatre, also, he felt glad that Quatre was found at all.

"The others?"

"They are searching the rest of this cursed place."

"Milliardo?" Quatre pulled his arms and legs free of the restraints, and lifted his head away from the table, propping himself up onto his elbows.

"He is also searching." Wufei offered his hand to Quatre, who gazed up at the ceiling. "Let us get out of here, everyone would want you safe before all else."

"No, I have to find Milliardo." Quatre said, snapping his eyes down to Wufei. The blonde threw his legs over the side of the table and tried to step away, but found himself wobbly and nearly toppled over onto the floor. Luckily Wufei was quicker and caught his friend, allowing the blonde to lean on him until further notice. Quatre smiled and accepted the help, he figured there wasn't much else to do anyway.

"We must leave, Quatre. You are in no position to be wandering around all over. Once you are safe, I will come back and tell the others."

"Then go to safety without me, I must find Milliardo." Quatre said sternly. Wufei sighed, and nodded, though he knew something bad might happen, disobeying a stern Quatre would probably be worse. Quatre would never be this stern for no reason anyway...

"Let's go then."
