Brothers separated: Chap.6

By: hypergirl
It took me too long to get this chapter out! Very, very sorry. I had a sudden inspiration to write another story. Blame Sylina, she made me. You can understand why it took longer than expected to get out, I hope. For anyone reading and reviewing my story, thanks bunches!!! I love reviews, I live off of reviews. Anyone want to E-mail me at hypergirl719@yahoo.com ? I love meeting new friends! ^_______________^ It took me awhile to convince Sylina not to kill Heero (he is my fave character). Some of the nice-people reviewing kindly told me that killing Heero would not go along with the title and/or Hitomi`s dream. Let me explain. As you will notice, the title is brothers separated. Killing Heero would indeed separate them, would it not? Also, I did not say when I would kill Heero. I was planning on killing him later, after he and Duo were acquainted with Van and Hitomi. Now that that is out of the way, I will continue with the reviewers and then move on to the story. ^__^

DISCLAIMER: Do I have to keep writing these!!?!!!?? I. Do. Not. Own. The. Characters. In. This. Story.

Reviewers

Van555, I'm so very happy you like my work so much! Thanks for telling me!!

Jackie, well, at least you reviewed. I covered yours already. Thanks for taking the time to tell me!!

Katie, I have persuaded Sylina not to kill Heero, at least not yet. I'm not too sure where I want to go with

this. Also glad you like that it is a serious x-over. You like my action scenes? Really?

Thankyousoverymuch!!! Those are hard to write (at least for me).

Blioy, glad you like and find it interesting. As soon as I write the rest, I`ll post.

Firestar, you actually enjoy reading what I write! ^_____^ (Sylina: I know you all simply pity her.

Hypergirl: They do not! Do you?)

S-chan, I love pocky!!! (Sylina: You have made her too hyper, even by her standards. That was a very

dangerous thing to do.)Cannot resist chibi eyes… I must write more story!

-, I like your name! I'm writing, try and stop me, MWAHHAAHAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!

Chibi Hoku, okay, I won't kill Heero, feel happy! (Breaks into song) Don't worry, be happy!! (stops) I

don't want to frighten everybody away! ^__^

Brothers separated: Chap. 6

Heero heard someone enter the tent and gasp. He vaguely wondered who it was but decided it

wasn't worth the energy to find out. He could hardly move anymore. These people were good at their

job and were obviously trying to get some information from him. They wanted to know who he was, and

what he was doing in this part of the country. They were especially inquisitive about who he worked for.

When he had refused to speak they had gotten rough and decided he would make an excellent punching

bag. His entire body felt broken and useless. Heero still remained as defiant as possible, glaring at them

the best he could from his position on the floor.

Duo had to restrain himself to keep from running to his fallen comrade. Heero didn't look like

Heero. In fact he only looked slightly human. His face was covered in fresh sticky blood. And beaten so

badly that you couldn't see any of his features. He looked worse than Duo had ever seen. His left arm was

in an impossible position. It was bent sideways at the elbow in a gruesome way and was laying at his side

uselessly. He was laying crumpled on the ground, unmoving. It didn't look like he could have gotten up to

save his life. Which promoted a problem, how were they going to get away with Heero as beaten as he

was?

Runom`s voice interrupted his thoughts, "That's what's going to happen to you if you don't tell us

what ya were doin` here. Not a very pretty sight is he? I'm surprised he isn't spilling information yet, but

he will soon. I'm sure of that." Smirked Runom, " Of course, if you want to tell us about the both of you,

it'll save your friend there some pain. Why don't we start with some unofficial info on the two of you?

What are your names?" Duo remained silent. "Aw, come on that isn't too hard to say a name now is it?"

Still Duo refused to speak. Runom gave a nod and two of the men in the tent lifted Heero to his feet,

supporting him to make sure he didn't fall. Another man, Rod, stalked up to Heero and drew back his fist.

"Now, tell me your names." Commanded Runom, "Your names aren't that important. Just tell me and

Rod here won't hurt your little friend."

Van adjusted his sword. He was ready to leave. He walked to the outside of the fort to observe

the other men that were coming on the trip. They seemed a good enough bunch. He noticed Allen coming

toward him and prepared to ask some questions about the band they were going to fight. "Allen, how many

men are we facing?" Allen's response was curt, "No less than 22, no more than 40, but be prepared for the

worst. The actual attack will be an all out offensive. We hope to surprise them and catch them without

any weapons to cut down on casualties from both sides. Anything else you want to know, Van?" The

mentioned nodded his head no, slightly surprised Allen had guessed all of what he wanted to know. But,

he reasoned, what he had planned to ask was what any well-trained soldier would want to know.

Soon after his conversation with Allen the men began to move out. There were roughly 30 of

them, all fair fighters, however a few were healers as well. Every man had a part to play to ensure a

successful attack. Some men had been sent ahead to scout for area patrols and traps that might have been

planned for them. They moved quickly, showing they were an organized group to be depended on. Van

couldn't help wondering how many times they had done this before.

Duo almost blanched as the man hit Heero with the club again. He did not like seeing his friend

like this. It gave him the willies to see Heero in such a helpless position. What bothered him even more

was the fact that the man, Rod, seemed to enjoy every minuet of his friends pain. The sadistic smile he

wore every time he got another chance to beat Heero. Heero, Duo couldn't bear to look at Heero anymore.

He was afraid of what he would see. The fact that his friend hadn't cried out made him even more… Duo

didn't know how he felt right now. He was angry, at Rod, but he was also ashamed. Ashamed of his own

fear of being treated as Heero was.

Duo heard the thud of a body hitting the floor and knew who it was. Even without looking up, he

knew who it was. Duo's thoughts were so focused on his friend that he didn't hear the shout of alarm from

outside…



Hypergirl: I finally wrote some more, I dislike Sylina making me start another story before finishing this

one! She needs to let me finish stuff without starting something new!

Sylina: This story wasn't going anywhere!

Hypergirl: Hope you enjoyed this!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
