Brothers separated: Chap. 5
By: hypergirl
Sorry it took me so long to get this out. I won't bore you about how much homework I have, how my Internet service went out, and the fact ff.net seems to hate me now. Again I'm sorry, please be nice because this chapter is, well, a lil better than the rest. ^_^ Being the lazy person I am, I'm going to make this 3rd or 4th to last chapter in this series and then do a sequel called Reunited At Last (if you think I should, that is). Um, I mess around with the Escaflowne plot line a bit in this chapter. Also, the chapters are going to get longer soon. Sylina has been busy catching up on journal entries for school, so she's kinda tired. Just so you know, I can't type worth jack ("I agree." "Shut it Sylina")!! It takes me time to get a page out so hope that it won't bother anyone if it takes me awhile to get the longer chaps out. Sylina: You've been saying you'd write longer chapters since you started writing this. Hypergirl: *sniffles* I do try. R&R PLEASE!!!!!!!!
DISCLAIMER: I'm tired of writing this because I no own the people in the story and that will not change
until my plan to take over the world succeeds. =)
WARNING: Heero gets rather bloody.
Reviewers
Sky, I write for reviews only, so 4 reviews should get you a decent sized chapter. ^_^
Katie, long chapters are very difficult for me to write. I am working on it though.
Firestar, glad ya liked it so far. ^_______________^
Silverwolf, you loved it this time hmm. Does that mean it's getting better? I hope so!
Brothers separated: Chap. 5
Heero leapt over his enemies, and collided with Duo. His mind had barely enough time to register
that the American was safe when he felt the metal bite into the flesh on his arm. Quickly he turned to deal
death to the one that had almost killed him and noticed the sword had been directed into his side and was
traveling down his ribs. Ignoring this he continued his attack on the remaining assailants.
Duo looked up to see Heero take the blow in the side. He felt his stomach turn as he saw shiny
bone among the blood. Duo jumped in to aid his partner, knowing the two of them wouldn't likely last
long. He grabbed a knife out of his pocket and stabbed one of the attackers deep in his side. As Duo felt
the blood cover his hand he twisted the knife further inward. The man shrieked in pain, but was cut off
abruptly as his life was taken. Almost immediately afterwards he felt a painful impact on his jaw and
everything went black.
Heero knew he couldn't continue fighting against such skilled opponents. However this
had no affect on how he handled himself. A soldier fought until he surrendered, was captured, knocked
out, or killed. And he was a soldier. He retreated, for the moment, to try and get a glimpse of Duo, and
look for the best position. The place he was currently fighting at left his back unguarded and gave his
numerous opponents more advantage. Unfortunately his adversaries were not about to allow him any type
of relief. A chance blow caught him off guard and left him momentarily vulnerable. A moment was all his
attackers needed.

Van looked thoughtfully at Allen. The twenty-one year old knight was certainly an interesting
person. He wondered if Allen would ever… His musings were rudely interrupted as the door burst open,
revealing a man Van had never seen before. Van kept his eyes on this newcomer, vaguely interested in
why he was here. He watched as the man quickly walked up to Allen and began a whispered conversation
with him. Allen suddenly looked up, sharply. Then bent his head down again apparently unhappy with
the news which had been brought to him.
~**~
Duo groaned softly and winced as the weak sunlight hit his eyes. What? Where was he? Duo
knew he wasn't dead as his every movement pained him. Observing his surroundings, he decided he was
in a tent of sorts. This particular tent was a fairly small one, light brown in color and having small holes
dotted all over the ceiling. Hearing footsteps approaching he feigned unconsciousness.
"Get up." Commanded a rough voice, "I saw you open your eyes." Duo decided it would be
prudent to comply seeing as he was in no position to attack or defend himself. The man bent down and cut
through a rope which had been holding his hands together, then hauled him up roughly. "You weren't
moving fast enough." He commented offhandedly. "Care to tell me what you and your friend were doing
out there? It was a waste of time to rob you two, got no loot and three of my men killed." Duo didn't
respond. Surprisingly the man laughed, "Your friend wouldn't tell me either. He should tell Rod shortly
though." The man fell silent, smirking slightly. He took a step back from Duo and looked at him. "You're
luckier than that other kid, only got some scrapes, bruises, and that slice across your head."
He once again fell silent. A voice sharply called out "Get that boy in here, Runom." The man,
now known as Runom, pushed Duo out of the tent. It was bright outside of the tent. They were in a small,
and I mean small, clearing in the woods. Runom quickly navigated his way through a tiny sea of tents until
he reached one of the few decent sized ones. He and Duo entered the tent.

Allen motioned Van over with his hand. "There's a new band of robbers that just formed in this
territory. I'm going to take some men out tomorrow to get rid of them. It's not very big, but they're
supposed to be crafty. You want to come?
"Why not, sure I`ll come. When do I need to be ready in the morning?" replied Van
"We`re leaving just before the sun rises."
"I will be ready." Allen nodded, "See you then." Then he bowed and left. Van decided to retire
also. Tomorrow was going to be interesting.
~**~
Duo almost gasped. That couldn't be Heero. No way that was Heero.
Evil cliffhanger, don't you just hate me tbc.
*looks at what she wrote* It took me how long to write this?
Sylina: About 3 or 4 days.
Hypergirl: THAT LONG?!!!!!????
Sylina: Yep.
Hypergirl: I blame teachers and those ten typed-page assignments. *begs people to forgive her for actually
doing part of her homework* They forced me, my parents threatened to take away computer for a month.
MUST HAVE REVIEWS or I will kill Heero =)
Sylina: Enough yapping, post the thing already.
Hypergirl: Kay.
