Chibi-Meiran:(disgruntled) "Shinigami Baby has written another part to this fic since you guys liked the first one so much. Make sure you review it and let her know you love her..." (looks around to make sure Shini-chan is nowhere around) "...and tell her that you hate 2x5!"

Chibi-Duo: "Meiran! That's not right! You can't tell them what to do!"

Chibi-Meiran: "Shut-up, Maxwell, you home wrecker!"

Chibi-Duo: "How can I be a home wrecker if you're dead!?"

(Shouting continues)

Chibi-Wufei: (opens a Pokemon Umbrella to dodge the oncoming objects that he KNOWS are going to be flying by in a few seconds) "Shinigami Baby doesn't own Shin Kidousenki Gundam Wing. She does however own this umbrella I'm holding. I promise to give it back... although it won't be in the shape that I borrowed it in... Injustice... Also: watch out for Yaoi, swearing, violence, and Heero-Bastardization. Shinigami Baby does not feel that Heero really would do this, his actions in this fic are her purpose to get me and the lovely Duo together..." (blushes) "...which I wouldn't mind one little bit."

(A brick flies across the room)

Chibi-Wufei: (Sweatdrops, being missed by mere inches) "On with the fic..."


"The Rain" Part 2
by Shinigami Baby


Wufei shut the television off, thinking he heard something in Duo and Heero's room. He listened closely and heard a hard whipping sound against flesh.

'That kisama is beating him...' Wufei thought, shaking his head. 'Only weakings dominate over their loved ones like that... I'm going to have a talk with that Yuy in the morning.'

He got up off the couch and headed up the stairs, stopping infront of Heero and Duo's door to see if anything else was going on.

"If you weren't such a slut, I wouldn't have to do this, Duo." Heero said softly.

Wufei frowned. Oh yes... he and Heero were going to have quite the talk in the morning. He walked into his room and shut the door. Getting ready for bed, he heard the most heart-breaking sound. Duo was crying.

"Shut up." He heard Heero scold.

"I'm sorry, Heero."

"Don't be sorry, shut up. I'm trying to sleep."

"Yes, Heero."

"I said shut the fuck up!"

Then something pounded against the wall.

Wufei got off the bed and clenched his fists. This wasn't going to keep until morning. He stalked out of his room and pounded on the bedroom door. "Open this door, Yuy!" He demanded.

"You mind your own business, Wufei." Heero said coldly.

"This is my business. It concerns Duo, and Duo is my friend. And if you don't let me in, I won't think twice about kicking this goddamn door down." Wufei said sternly.

He heard Heero get out of the bed and open the door. Wufei looked into the room and saw Duo curled up in a corner on the bed.

"See?" Heero said. "Nothing's wrong here."

Wufei glared at him. "Duo are you alright?"

"He's fine. Right Duo?" Heero said.

Duo said nothing. He just drew the blankets closer to his body and curled tighter into the corner of the bed.

Wufei stared at Heero. "What the fuck did you do to him?"

"I didn't do anything he didn't deserve." Heero said.

Wufei stepped closer to the bed, but Heero held his arm out, not letting him pass. "Move, Yuy."

Heero folded his arms. "If he wants to go to you, he will. But he doesn't. Duo is *mine*."

"You do not own him, Yuy. No one does." Wufei turned his head to face Duo, softening his expression a bit. "Duo, if you want, you can sleep in my room with me. I'll even let you have the bed and I'll sleep on the floor. How's that sound?"

Duo looked at him and nodded quietly, getting out of the bed, the sheet still wrapped around his thin body. He stood behind Wufei, making damn sure Heero was far enough away so that he couldn't pull him back into the room by his hair. Wufei looked over his shoulder at Duo and nodded to him, as if saying he would be in the room in a minute. Duo nodded back and went into Wufei's room.

Wufei started to walk out of the room, when he threw a glance over his shoulder to Heero. "Don't think for an instant that I'm done with you." He threatened before going into his room. In response, Heero slammed his own door shut.

Wufei walked into his bedroom to see Duo laying on his bed... quite naked. He blushed a bit and turned away. "W-would you like some clothes, Maxwell?"

"No, after Heero punishes me, clothes always make it sting."

"Make what sting?"

"My back..." Duo said quietly. He noticed Wufei had his back turned to him, so he covered up. "Don't worry, I covered up myself, you can't see anything private."

"Oh, okay." Wufei turned to face him once more. He sat on the bed beside Duo. "How long has he been doing this to you?"

Duo shrugged. "It's been so long, I don't even remember."

Wufei shook his head. "Why didn't you tell any of us about this?"

"Heero told me not to." Duo said. "And I just loved him so much, I didn't want to make him mad, you know? But lately it's gotten to the point where I can't take much more." His eyes began to tear a bit. "I never used to cry, Wu-man..."

Wufei felt his heart break into a thousand pieces. He pulled Duo into his arms, careful of the wounds on his back. "I'm going to take care of you now." He whispered into Duo's hair.

Duo wrapped his arms tightly around Wufei's neck. "You will?"

"If you'll have me."

Duo nodded.

"Alright." Wufei said gently. He got up off the bed and headed for the adjoining bathroom. He came back with some cotton balls, bandages, and some alcohol to clean the cuts. "Okay Duo, I need you to sit up and move all your hair to one side."

Duo sat up on the bed, bringing the blanket over his lap, then pushed his hair aside. Wufei cringed a bit when he saw Duo's back. There were a few deep cuts caused by the switch that Heero had beaten him with. Among the deeper cuts were a few small red marks and a few scars from previous beatings. He sat behind Duo and unscrewed the cap to the alcohol. "This is going to sting a little bit, Duo." He warned as he applied some to a cotton ball. He pressed it against the deepest cut and watched Duo squirm a little bit, then relax.

They spent that half hour in silence as Wufei cleaned the cuts out and bandaged them. As he appiled the last bandage, Wufei spoke up. "You don't have to feel uncomfortable around me anymore. I'm not going to let Heero hurt you, okay?"

"Okay... hey Wu?"

"Yes?"

Duo bit his bottom lip. "Could you... braid my hair for me?"

"Sure." Wufei got off the bed and grabbed his brush and a hair binder. He got back on the bed, facing Duo. "Come sit between my legs."

Duo blushed. "Why Wu-man... how forward of you..."

"You ecchi." Wufei teased.

Duo smiled and crawled over to Wufei, then turned around. "Work your magic." Duo said, sitting up and straightening his back. It took a little more that 15 minutes to get all of Duo's hair braided perfectly, but the smile Wufei got from Duo when he was finished was worth all the complaints. "Thanks, *now* I can sleep." Duo laid down on his side, unknowingly exposing a nice view of his rear to Wufei.

Wufei blushed and turned away, checking his closet for blankets so he could make himself a bed on the floor. He found none. "Kuso..."

"What is it?" Duo asked sleepily.

"I can't find any blankets to sleep on."

"So? Just sleep in the bed. There's room." Duo patted the spot on the bed beside himself. "Gotta warn ya though: I'm a wiggle worm."

Wufei smiled. "That's fine." He crawled into the blankets with Duo.

"Uh Wu?"

"Yes?" Wufei responded, getting comfortable.

"Is that really what you sleep in?"

"Well, no..."

"So get in your jammies!" Duo playfully pushed him.

Wufei blushed and stripped down to his boxers.

Duo raised an eyebrow. "Dragons... cute."

Duo was checking him out! Wufei's jaw dropped. "Excuse me, but at least I'm wearing *something*!"

Duo shrugged. "I like sleeping naked."

Wufei frantically reached for his tissue box to plug his now-bleeding nose.

Duo chuckled as he rolled over, facing the wall. "G'night Wu..."

"Oyasumi..." Wufei said quietly, trying very hard not to touch any part of the naked Duo he was now sharing a bed with. That wasn't about to happen. Duo stuck his butt out a little bit and snuggled deeper into the blankets. Wufei was about to pass out from the feel of Duo's warm skin on his own. Yet, at the same time, he wanted to be awake to enjoy it.

Wufei rolled onto his side, facing Duo's back. He tucked some of the American's hair behind his ear before asking him "What are we going to do about your clothes in the morning?"

Duo turned around and faced Wufei, their noses barely touching. "I dunno."

Wufei could feel Duo's hot breath collide with his own, then he felt it... 'SHIT! Of all the times in the world to get one of *those*...'
