The place felt cold and damp. Duo could feel the bitterness surrounding him as he came to. He felt confined as he opened his eyes. He tried desperately to move, but found he couldn't. In a panic, his eyes darted around the room, but found nothing except thick darkness. Suddenly, he heard a cold-hearted laugh echo throughout the damp vicinity.
"Ha! So you've gained consciousness. Good…it won't be long now…"
Duo recognized that voice; it had to be Wufei. A light suddenly blinked on, and he realized he was in a large, rather empty room, sitting in an old chair, with his hands tied tightly behind his back. He looked up in anger to see Wufei standing before him with a wicked smile plastered on his lips.
"What the hell are you doing, Wufei?" Duo asked in fury.
The Chinese boy chuckled. "What does it look like I'm doing?" He said holding up a handgun. "I'm going to do what I should have done in the first place."
Duo glared at him in confusion, then with a horrible realization. "So you were trying to break Heero and I up!"
"Of course! You did the same to me! You took Heero away from me! I wanted Heero to hurt like I did, but it didn't work!" He paused. Rage flashed in his eyes. "Why the hell didn't it work?!" Anger spread through Wufei's body like a wild fire. On an urge, he raised the gun and smacked Duo across the face with the handle. Duo's head was thrown to the side, and remained in that position for a moment before he could get over the shock. Then he turned his face slowly toward Wufei's, his eyes gleaming with anger and confusion.
"I didn't do that Wufei, and you know it." He said with tension building in his voice. "Heero never really loved you…I can't change his feelings!"
Wufei turned his back to Duo so he couldn't see the tears filling his eyes. "No, you're wrong, he did love me." He replied quietly. "He said so!"
"Why can't you stop living in denial, and realize that Heero and I are together now? We will be forever!" Duo responded angrily.
Wufei whirled around and faced Duo, his eyes fiery red with rage. He made a fist and punched Duo in the in the stomach. Duo doubled over and gasped for air. He coughed and gagged until he was able to receive oxygen in lungs once more. Wufei watched in an angry silence. Once Duo was able he sat up, and while still breathing heavily, he forced himself to speak.
"Wufei, why are you doing this?" He gasped.
"Because you somehow cast a spell on Heero and seduced him!" Wufei shouted angrily. "I don't know what you did, but I swear you're about to pay for it!" Duo looked into Wufei's eyes with astonishment. He could see nothing but emptiness in the angry obsidian orbs.
"Wufei," Duo spoke gently, "I understand that your break up with Heero hurt, but you can't force a person to love you!"
Wufei glared at him, his heart still unable to believe. "But Heero did love me. And now, I'm going to get rid of the problem! Maybe then, he can realize how much he does love me!" He placed the barrel of the gun to Duo's forehead. Duo squeezed his violet eyes shut, braced himself and waited for the expected blast, but it never came. He opened one eye and saw that Wufei was standing before him in deep concentration. Slowly, Wufei took the gun away and shook his head. Duo opened both eyes and sighed in relief.
"No." Wufei began, "No, I don't want to kill you just yet." He paused and looked at a very confused Duo. He chuckled. "Heero was my answer to happiness, you know. After Meiran died, my whole life fell apart. Then Heero came along, and I felt for sure that we would be in love forever. The emptiness and sorrow I felt from my wife's death had disappeared." Duo listened intently. "But then you had to take Heero away from me." He glared at Duo in disgust. "When Heero said he was in love with you, it was like Meiran died again, and the sorrow had returned."
"I don't see how you can blame this on me. Heero's feelings were not my fault!" Duo snapped back at him furiously.
"Silence! I'm speaking, so shut up!" An enraged Wufei shouted. "As I was saying, I locked the anger inside for quite a while, that is, until Treize Kushrenada freed it and helped me devise a plan to tear the two of you apart." Duo's eyes widened.
"How did you lure me, Wufei?" Duo asked in a cautious tone.
"I'm very glad you asked. I slipped something in you're wine. It made you drunk after only two glasses!" He said with a proud glint in his eyes. "Anyway, I thought for sure that would cause Heero to walk out on you, but I was wrong. See, last night I noticed that the two of you were still together. I wasn't sure what to do, so I went back to Treize and he helped me invent another plan; this time I've kidnapped you. So this is where we are now, and this is where it will end!" Wufei laughed.
Ignoring the evilness in Wufei's voice, Duo calmly asked, "So where are we, anyway?"
"Hm. That won't mean anything to you, I mean, you're going to die soon…"
'Not if I can help it…' Duo thought. "Then it won't hurt for you to tell me, will it?"
Wufei thought for a moment. "No, I guess not. We're in the office of an abandoned warehouse on the edge of town. Here, no one will know what is about to take place." He smiled happily. "Now, it is rather late. I want to wait until morning before you die. I think I'll give you time to think about the reason for your death."
Duo felt a wave of relief close in on him. That would give him time to come up with a way to escape from Wufei before he was shot. But how would he do it? He looked over at Wufei who had gone to a table where a laptop was sitting. He was typing quickly with a huge grin across his face.
'Most likely a message to Treize…Wait, he has a computer! If I could somehow untie my hands, and get to that laptop, then I could e-mail Heero…But how could I be assured he would open it in time?' Then an idea hit Duo 'Of course! I can send it as a mission! Great, now how to do it?' By this time, Wufei had finished whatever he had been doing and now was crossing back over to Duo.
"It's perfect, as soon as day breaks, you're gonna die." Wufei raised his gun once more and slapped Duo across the face with the handle again. This time the blow was so severe, it knocked both Duo and the chair to their sides. Duo could feel a little blood tricking down his cheek as Wufei laughed evilly.
"I'm leaving the room for now. I'll just be outside the door. Frankly, the sight of you makes me sick, so I'll leave you to yourself." He kicked Duo as hard as he could in the abdomen. The air was knocked out of him once more as Wufei looked on with great interest. Then he said, "Be sure to think about all I've told you!" Turning on his heels, he sauntered out of the room and shut the door behind him. Duo could hear the turning of a key, and then silence.
He lay on the floor, coughing and sputtering. Once he gained his composure, a strange sense of calmness came over him. He was now alone, and could get a message to Heero, but that damn rope was still wrapped around his wrists. Frantically, he struggled with the relentless cords, and when finding he had no luck, he began to panic.
'What the hell am I going to do? I'm going to die! Damn it, Duo, think!' He told himself. Figuring out that the panicking was useless, he calmed himself once more. With one last attempt he pulled at his right hand, and it painfully slipped out of the offending ropes. Breathing heavily, he forced himself up, and stood. Though agony raced through his body, he ran over to the laptop and flicked it on. Impatiently, he waited as it powered up. Once it had, he opened the e-mail text box, and then as fast he could, he typed out a quick message:
Heero-
Wufei is holding me in the abandoned warehouse just at the end of town. He
has me locked in the office and is planning to kill me. Please come quickly!
-Duo
He looked at the message and prepared to forward it as a mission. Just as he was about to click the 'send' button, he heard the sound of the key turning in the lock. He watched in horror as Wufei appeared in the doorway.
"What do you think you're doing?" He growled angrily. As quickly as possible, Duo hit the 'send' button. And as Wufei stormed furiously toward him, he wondered if he would ever see Heero again…
