"HEERO!I can't....I can't swim...My...My wings,"Duo coughed through mouthfulls of water.
"Hold on to me Duo,"Heero said swimming towards a small dot of an island that jutted from the water.
"I...I can't,"Duo coughed,before sinking down under the water.
"Duo,"Heero yelled diving down after Duo.
"Wufei get the boat away from us.They'll follow you,"Heero yelled with an arm wrapped around Duo's unconsious form.
"Get him to safty,"Wufei said turning the boat around.
"Almost there Duo,"Heero said swimming with one arm.
After what Heero thought was hours he finially reached the small island and dragged Duo onshore.
"Duo...Duo,"Heero asked shaking the winged boy.
"He...Heero,"Duo coughed up water.
"We're on a small island.We made it,"Heero said brushing Duo's wet bangs out of violet eyes.
"We're on the island,"Duo asked sitting up only to cough up more water.
"Yeah,"Heero said helping Duo to his feet.
"Then we must make it to the temple were Quatre and Trowa are,"Duo panted.
"Tell me where,"Heero said picking Duo up the best he could.
"Just go to the center of the island,"Duo said.
"Alright,"Heero replied,walking into the safty of the trees.
************************************************************
"Are you sure this is it Duo,"Heero asked.
"That's it.Trowa or Quatre are standing guard.Just walk up there and talk to them,"Duo sighed.
"Quatre and Trowa...are they like you,"Heero asked.
"Not exactally,"Duo said.
"Are you feeling alright now,"Heero asked.
"Some,"Duo said.
"The attack over,"Heero asked.
"I think so.I'm so water logged I can't tell,"Duo smiled softly.
"We're at the temple,"Heero said looking up at the sandy colored pyramid.
"Quatre or Trowa will be at the top of the steps,"Duo said pointing towards the stairs.
********************************************************
"Halt,"A voice boomed from behind the door of the temple.
"Heero put me down,"Duo said into Heero's ear.
"Ok,"Heero nodded setting Duo down.
"Trowa!Quatre!Open up it's me,"Duo yelled at the door.
"Duo?You aren't alone.Who is he,"The voice asked.
"This is Heero Quatre.He's safe.Open the door Quatre,"Duo yelled.
"Ok.Give me a second,"Quatre responded.
A few seconds later the large stone doors opened revealing a well lit room but standing in the middle of the door way was a small blond haired,aqua eyed centar.
"Hello Heero.I'm Quatre,"The blonde centar greeted.
"Hello,"Heero nodded.
"What brings you and Duo here.I hope J and G aren't after you again Duo,"Quatre sighed showing the boys in.
"They are,but Wufei led them away from us with the boat so we're safe,"Duo sighed sitting down on one of the couches that lay in the main room.
"I hope he'll be alright,"Quatre said.
"Where's Trowa Quat,"Duo asked.
"He's in the study.Would you like me to call him,"Quatre asked,swishing his tail.
"He should meet Heero,"Duo said.
"Alright.I'll be right back with him,"Quatre smiled before trotting off towards the library.
"You alright Heero,"Duo asked standing up and walking over to Heero.
"The scientist did this to him,"Heero asked.
"He did a lot of sick twisted things to us.You should of seen what he did to my best friend Solo,"Duo sighed snuggling up in Heero's arms.
"What did he do,"Heero asked.
"He turned Solo into a dragon and shrunk him down to the size of my palm.He was cute,but it killed him.His cells were changed to fast and he couldn't keep up.It killed him within weeks,"Duo sighed,a small tear leaking out of his eye.
"Oh Duo.I'm so sorry,"Heero said kissing Duo's forehead.
"It's ok.It was a long time ago.I've learned to live with it,"Duo smiled softly.
"You shouldn't have to.You're human,"Heero said.
"We were once,"A stranger's voice sounded behind Heero.
"Trowa,"Duo smiled.
"Hey Duo,"Trowa said with a small smile.
"Hello Trowa.I'm Heero,"Heero introduced to the centar like boy.
"We're glad to have you here,"Quatre smiled.
"Thank you,"Heero nodded.
"You know I'd love to talk to you more,but I'm exhausted.Almost drowning and almost dying in one day is enough for me.I'm taking Heero to my room so we can rest up for tomorrow.I want to show him the island and see if Wufei made it back,"Duo smiled taking Heero's hand.
"Good night Duo,"Trowa said.
"Night guys...Come on Heero,"Duo grinned,dragging Heero off.
