*~A few weeks later~*

Heero was worried.As the weeks had passed Duo's attacks were more frequent and closer together.Right at the very moment Heerow as holding Duo's convulsing body down while Duo fought another attack.

"Is he going to be alright,"Quatre yelled over Duo's scream.

"I don't know!It's never been this bad,"Heero yelled back.

"Would water help,"Trowa asked.

"He'll want it later I'm sure,"Quatre nodded.

"Duo!Look at me,"Heero yelled as Duo's body bucked.

"HHEERROOO,"Duo yelled before passing out.

"Duo!Duo...God what's happening to you,"Heero asked getting off of Duo.

"Heero?...Maybe we should leave him for a while to rest,"Trowa said walking into the room.

"You're right,"Heero sighed whipping sweat off of his face.

"Come on.I'll show you to the lake where you can relax until Duo wakes,"Trowa said offering a hand to Heero.

"I can't relax when he's like this,but I'll go.I need to clean up a bit,"Heero sighed taking the hand and getting down off the bed.

"If Quatre is right...He'll die with in next month,"Trowa sighed.

"I figured he didn't have much time left,"Heero said hanging his head.

"He's your lover isn't he,"Trowa asked.

"Hai...and I'm losing him,"Heero said clenching his fists together.

"If it weren't for those damn scientist he'd be fine,"Trowa growled.

"If it weren't for the scientist I would of never met him,"Heero said.

"I guess you have a small point.We wouldn't know him either,but they've caused him so much pain,"Trowa said.

"And for that....I'll kill them,"Heero growled.

"And I'll help.Duo's my friend too and such a sweet person shouldn't go through that.I'm glad Quatre hasn't,but he feels Duo's pain,"Trowa sighed.

"I'm sorry your little empath is going through that....He went through alot when Wufei never returned,"Heero said.

"He's convinced Wufei is alive.He didn't feel his passing,"Trowa said.

"If he's still out there maybe he's doing some damage to the scientist's labs,"Heero grinned.

"We can hope,"Trowa chuckled.

"Hai...Now...where's the lake,"Heero asked with an eyebrow raised.

"This way Heero,"Trowa said leading Heero out of the temple.

**************************************************************************

Back in Duo's room.Duo was asleep after his body collasped from the pain that wracked through his body.The room was dark and cold.

"He's alone now.Lets take him,"A voice whispered.

"Fine!If you're going to be impatient about it,"Another,huskier voice answered.

"Alright then.Just remember.We can't harm him.That's for the Doc's to do,"The first voice chuckled moving towards the bed.

"Yea yea.I know.They'd do to us what they did to the others,"The second guy shuddered.

"Alright.We've got him.Now lets scram,"The first guy whispered trowing Duo's limp body over his shoulder.

"Lets,"The second guy chuckled.

*******************************************************************************

"Hey Trowa.Have you checked on Duo,"Heero asked walking back up the steps to the temple.

"No.I think he's still asleep.His room is really quiet,"Trowa said swishing his tail back and forth.

"He may be asleep.Quatre back yet from scouting the shores for Wufei,"Heero asked running a towel over his arms.

"No.He should be back before sunset,"Trowa said.

"Well I'm going to go check on Duo,"Heero said walking off towards Duo's bedroom.

"Duo?You awake,"Heero asked walking into the dark room.

Silence met Heero's ears.Not even the deep sound of Duo's breathing could be heard.

"Duo,"Heero repeated walking over to the bed only to find it empty.

"DUO,"Heero yelled running to open the curtains.The room was completely empty.

"TROWA!!!DUO'S GONE,"Heero yelled running out of the room.

"WHAT,"Trowa yelled back.

"He's gone,"Heero yelled running outside.

"He..He can't be,"Trowa yelled running after him.

"Wait...Listen,"Heero said stopping in his tracks and holding his hand up to silence Trowa.

"What,"Trowa asked.

"A boat,"Heero said,wide eyed.

"They're getting away,"Heero yelled running after the sound.

"Heero,"Trowa yelled after him,but Heero didn't stop.

"Can't be,"Heero said to himself as he ran through the woods as fast as he could,towards the water.

"DUO,"Heero yelled seeing a small black dot of the speed boat.

"Heero,"Trowa yelled coming to a stop next to Heero.

"He's gone,"Heero panted falling to his knees.

"Damn....We'll have to get him back.Who knows what they'll do to him,"Trowa said watching the small black dot get smaller and smaller.

"I know where to find him,"Heero said.

"Where,"Trowa asked.

"The same lab where they experimented on me.It's the only place I know of,but...They have to be there,"Heero said.

"We'll try it,but don't worry Heero.We'll get Duo back no matter what,"Trowa said punching a tree near by.

"Hai...we will,"Heero said in a cold soldier voice,"we will."
