Part 4
"Duo...my brother..," was all I whispered as I walked over towards him. As he layed in the cot, I feared that he was dead. But, he opened his eyes, and gave me a weak smile. Almost at the point of tears, I embraced him as best as I could. I felt his arms go around me, which made me lose my senses..I just cried.
"Kylai...no need to be sad..I am..alright..I guess.." He mumbled in a barely audible whisper. I lifted my head to look into his eyes, to see death. I jerked up, and turned sharply to the young man. He had an expression of concern, but nothing else. Angrily, I pointed the blame to him.
"You...y-you did this to him..d-didn't you!? You made my brother as he is now. How..why!? ....Don't you love him..!?"
"Kylai! ...Stop it..!" I turned back around, and cowered a bit. He was angry now. I'm sorry, Duo. As I saw him struggle to sit up, I noted him grab his side and wince a bit. "It wasn't Heero. Someone..from the school shot me in the side earlier. I only called you over to warn you to be careful. I don't want you to get hurt, because it would kill me if anything happened to you..." After a few minutes of silence to catch his breath, he continued. "Y-you better g-get o-on outta here, Kylai. You don't need Arian on your case because you broke the rules.." I was in mere shock. I didn't really hear much out of him, but I did know that he only wanted to warn me, not to see me. Well, hell, I was not leaving. It had been too long.
"...Fuck the rules..I want to stay with you, Duo. And..." I looked up at the man, and looked at him. He was so handsome, no wonder Duo fell in love with him. "..Heero. By any chance..." I stared at the spiky haired boy, and questioned him, "..does your last name begin with a 'Y'..?"
"Hai...my last name is Yuy. My full name is Heero Yuy."
H Y. I finally figured out his name. "So you were one of the first banned from the school..?"
"Yes."
"I see..."
Silence then overcame the entire room for an extended period of time. Heero was staring at the ground, while Duo was keeping his eyes closed, most likely to blot out the pain. Clenching my fists to the side, I realized, I have had it. I shot a glare at Heero, which was deep enough for me to get his attention.
"..Yeah, Kylai..?"
"Heero, get me some rags, alchohol, and wrappings."
"Nani..? For..what..?"
"I am taking out that bullet.." Without another word, I turned towards Duo, and walked to him. Kneeling by his side, I immediately felt the moisture of blood which was absorbed by my pair of worn jeans. Ignoring the terrible, uncomfortable feeling, I reached back and pulled out my dagger. I placed it between my teeth, and immediately touched Duo's wound.
"What the--" Duo exclaimed in shock and pain. He looked at me with a surprised look. "Kylai..what the hell are you doing!?"
I pulled out the dagger and glared at him. "Duo...just shut up and let me do my work." Pulling off my bandana, I rolled it up to a ball and stuffed it into his mouth before he said another word. I heard muffled complaints, but I ignored them. I had to keep focused on what I was going to do. I took in a deep breath, and slowly cut the fabric which the wound was in. As it was free, I had a look of disgust and sickness. It was already infected, and yellowish pus was seeping out.
I had to drain the infection, before removing the bullet. Hopefully it wasn't too much, and hopefully the bullet wasn't too deep. I hated to put my brother through alot of pain..but..I had no choice. I first made the hole in which the bullet pierced through a little bigger. Muffled screams of protest were heard, and as I fought tears to be causing this to him, I made sure it was big enough for draining.
"Here..." I heard Heero answer. Turning my head, he held a bottle, and rags. The wrappings in his hand he had to hold until I was finished. I took the rags, and doused them with alcohol. I would have prefered peroxide, but that shit was expensive here. I saw Heero walk to Duo's other side, and grab his hand. He pressed a gentle kiss to his love's forehead. It reminded me of that night with Dorothy...Dorothy..I wonder where you are. Ah..wait..damnit, I was getting off-topic here! Shaking off the daze, I pressed my thumb and index finger of my right hand to Duo's wounds, and pressured it. He cried out, but I fought stopping to continue.
Each time the yellowish part seeped out, I wiped it with the alchohol-doused rag. Heero watched with a concern on his face, I felt his glare. I looked up then, watching him wipe the ever so frequent tears that fell from Duo's eyes. I felt my own eyes water, and my hands beginning to tremble. I felt so low, so awful. I am so sorry Duo...
As I finished cleaning away the infection, I allowed both myself and Duo to rest. There was still one more step left. By now, my pants and part of my shirt had blood on them, Duo's blood. I was about to begin the next process when I heard the door open. I froze upon hearing it, and turned my head. Heero also tensed up, I could almost sense it. As whoever stepped in, I saw Duo shake and mumble in protest. I saw it too then. A gun. I stood up, thinking whoever this was, was the one who shot Duo. Heero knew it too.
It was.....
"Kylai..?"
Oh my....that voice..so familiar. But..how..why!?
"Trowa...!?"

Note: Aha! Surprise! I wonder how many thought it was Edwin? No, I am not doing a plot to make everyone a bad or good person, it is just the naturally of what I believe a gangster's paradise is like. Betrayal, violence, trust, etc etc. Well, I hope you liked this part, I shall have the next part out soon. Right now, I have a hint of where this is going, but I won't really say until I am done, alright? Also...again..THANK YOU to all who replied. I am forever grateful. Ja ne for now!!!
