Chapter 5 Recovery Attack



"What can she heal? Is she able to heal his energy depletion?"

"My, my, no, someone will have to forfeit some of their own for that, but his body was also weakened in your struggle. Do not worry, you and I can make up for the energy im sure. Besides I have no need to lose anyone."

"Lose anyone?"

"Yes, im sure you would not enjoy seeing anyone else touch him, im assuming you two are very friendly from the way you act towards each other, and if you aren't then you should be." Wufei ended with a smirk.

"Hey... we're not that close.... yet." came a weak retort from Duo's direction.

Heero blushed faintly and went to Duo's side. He stayed by his side for the next hour while he slipped in and out of consciousness.







After a while of motionless silence, Duo finally awoke around dusk. He was still groggy from energy depletion and very talkative. Heero found out the hard way that when Duo was exhausted he chattered. So did the healing nurse, an assistant, the food carrier, another nurse and Wufei.

The next night around dusk is when Wufei decided it would be the best time to restore some of duo's energy. Heero carefully lifted the unresisting Duo into his arms and out into a large tent. Decorated with many symbols of power and the Fugimino's, there seemed to be a palpable blanket of magic around it. Wufei pulled aside the front flap and they walked inside. Heero had to turn slightly to enter with duo in his arms and was almost reluctant to set him down. In the tent there was a small table with two chairs, bedding for two on the ground and a circle of twigs in one corner.

The twig circle called to Heero, he knew somehow that he should be in it with Duo, the feeling had a definite sexual tinge. We raised a questioning eyebrow at Wufei.

Wufei Smirked.

Heero laid Duo very softly on the bedding and turned to the now sitting Fire Caller. Wufei motioned to the other chair, Heero sat quickly and glanced at the twigs agian.

"They call to you, don't they?"

"Yes... what about Duo's energy.?"

Wufei hesitated with another broader smirk. He laid his hands in his lap and settled back into the chair, enjoying the heated looks thrown at him.

"Well, you see, I thought I should warn you before we go on to the next step."

There was a pause as Heero narrowed his eyes. He fought the urge to scowl.

"Okay, there are two kinds, we can boost his energy quickly, but it will take longer for him to be up on his own, and we will be very drained, not nearly as bad as him. And the other is what I had in mind. This takes a little more... energy on all our parts. It would get him back to himself instantly, we would only feel a little drain."

Heero still looked at Wufei.

"And you suggest the second."

"Yes." Wufei's smirk grew larger and his eyes sparkled with mischief.

"I think ill go with the first. With the way your acting im guessing the second is sex."

Both seated talkers turned to Duo. He was still laying in bed but was propped up on both arms and watching them with interest. In a moment Heero was next to him, he hadn't wanted to seem to eager but there was no longer a reason to hide. He felt like he might have lost Duo and it scared the spirit out of him. He wasn't going to let it happen agian if he could help it.

"Not up to it?" whispered Heero in Duo's ear with a evil smirk.

Duo smiled wickedly back, eyed Heero's crouching form and shook his head.

" Not with your stamina im not."

Wufei chuckled at the exchange and brought the attention back to himself.

" Well, lets get on with it then shall we?"

Heero nodded, and Duo laughed back at him.

"Duo, you'll need to take off your shirt and get in the middle of the circle. Hm, wait, I made enough room for one.. Lets see.."

They all studied the small circle of twigs, Heero almost blushed when he realized they would be in very close quarters. Duo was just about to bust- he was laughing so hard.

"Wellll, what position are we supposed to be in? Like, touching feet or something?" Duo inquired.

"No, I need to have both hand on your back, Heero's on your chest. Energy transfer is easier that way."

Heero approached the circle of twigs, he could feel the magic rolling in palpable waves from this area. On closer inspection of the shape, he found it was more of a oval. A very interesting pose came to mind. He suddenly realized that it might be the only possible one to work, and that he would rather like to have an excuse for doing this. Heero turned to Wufei.

"I have a position that will work...."

There was a pause...

"...but..?" Duo said with a smirk.

"Its rather.. close quarters."

"As long as it gets the job done Yuy. Besides, were all young men here, we can handle what ever happens." Wufei's statement seemed to amuse everyone, as if he had been expecting se..something a little more. He walked to the twigs and glanced at Heero.

"Well, go get Braid-boy and get in what ever position you have and we shall see if it works."

Heero walked back to Duo with a nod and grinned silently at the, now somewhat intrigued, young man. He picked him up effortlessly and set him down across the room next to the twigs. He glance at Wufei them stepped in. As he passed through the 'curtain' of magic, he felt a cold tingle of warning on his neck. He sat down in the small shape, and surprisingly spread his legs.

He was wearing only the hunter green top and black leggings wich made him look very enticing in the magic's shine. He motioned for duo to step in over him, which he did with out hesitation, he also felt the tingle of warning, but it was not as strong as it was to Heero and he promptly ignored it. Duo carefully sat down, on his knees, one on ether side of Heero's hips, and his backside situated perfectly over his thighs. He sat stunned for a moment. He stared into cobalt eyes with a sly smile, when he had been over Heero, he could not help but be affected by the sight _underneath_ him, it seemed that the mighty warrior was also effected. Very effected.

He balanced himself on Heero's spread thighs then turned to look at Wufei. The Fire caller was just stepping into the shape of magic. He too had to carefully sink between Heero's legs to keep from disrupting the delicate Twigs. He was smirking the whole time, it widened when Heero's ankles came around his own, and he was pushed up against Duo. Duo gasped silently as he was shifted higher onto Heero. He barely covered up his need with tiredness and yawned.

"Ahem, now that were all comfortable.. Put your hands on his chest."

Duo responded immediately in his stupor and slid his hands to Heero's chest. Heero's eyes closed slightly and he placed his hands on Duo's bare chest. He ran his thumb over the defined lines, his right stopped over Duo's heart. Wufei told him to keep them steady. Then the flame caller called on his more ancient powers, ones of energy besides fire, he began to glow red. His energy red from the flame of his spirit. The glow spread into Duo's back, and over half his body before slowing. He whispered something unintelligible, concentrated a moment, then smiled. He quietly told Heero to concentrate on his own energy and pass it to duo. Duo rolled his head back in pleasure, his whole back was warm, any tenseness he had was gone. It was as if there were many warm hands moving on the muscles at once. His head shot back to Heero's face when he felt the heat from those hands. He smiled languidly at the intense cobalt's in front of him.

The heat spread over duo slowly covering every part of him, it was such an intense feeling that he couldn't help but fidget. He couldn't help but want to kiss those now panting lips in front of him, and the panting and moaning from behind him weren't helping. He finally couldn't help but release a shuddering moan in pleasure, his hormones were raging and he couldn't do anything.

The warmth finally stopped growing at that sound and started to fade.

It was a few moments before anyone spoke. They were all recovering from a very interesting energy transfer.

"I don't know about you guys, but.. Im pretty sure _that_ doesn't happen in most transfers."

"*pant*... no... it doesn't..*pant* I had no idea..."

"*pant*Wufei, what was....*pant* that?"

But the conversation was interrupted by a shout outside. All three men turned to the opening of the tent to see the shadows of battle. Duo stands steadily, feeling stronger then ever and helps the two proud warriors to the cot, where they could rest. He smiled and threw a blanket over them. He knew he was going to pay for the injustice of treating them as children, but it was fun while it lasted.

The two warriors fell into an exhausted sleep in each others arms, each hoping that the battle would not be so bad without them. On the other hand, Duo was having a great time. The second he had stepped out the door, without his shirt, he was jumped. A black-clad seemingly spider-person tried to take him down, but all he ended up with was an elbow in his face and hard kick in the spine. One down, and by a quick count, 24 to go.

Three of the intruders tried to sneak up on him, but his newfound senses warned him and they were dealt with. Another came at him with a flying kick, but before he was too close Duo's hand was already in his way. Duo let loose a small burst of his energy, but was surprised when a long stream of fire wrapped around the now screaming attacker.

He paused in surprise and was almost knocked down by a hard shove. He barely caught himself and instincts that he understood now, were not his own made his body twist from a near fall into a devastating kick to the opponents rib-cage. Another part of him made him flip backwards to get up, the next thing he knew, he was lost in the primal instincts and was fighting more and more with fire and body, he never once used his own power. About seven spider-people later, other Different's had finally gotten into the fight, they were the most graceful fighters Duo had ever seen. He turned back to where he came from and examined all the moaning (in pain, Hentai)creatures, they were spider-people! Although Duo had traveled almost everywhere in his life, he had never heard of something like this. The sounds behind him changed from those of battle to those of victory, someone came up next to him and handed him a bundle of ropes. It was spelled rope, and therefor would hold anything, no matter how strong. The spell used on the rope was one of draining, there were small marks on each rope indicated the power of the draining spell. Duo tied three of the creatures, taking care on each one to not hurt them. A sudden urge to command the rest of the group to do the same and heal there wounds rose up in him. Twenty minuets later he found himself done with all his ropes and the others already taking care of everything. He cursed himself and walked back to the tent holding Wufei and Heero.

As soon as he walked in he was pulled into a fierce hug. When he connected with the chest of his captor he knew it was Heero. He smiled and leaned into the warmth of the connection. But just as suddenly as it was there, it was gone. Duo's eyes started to adjust to the darkness of the tent and swept over the empty bed, Heero's hand slipped into his and held tight. Duo spared a questioning glance in the direction of Heero he was answered with a chuckle a-crossed the room. Duo smiled in that direction.

"So, I see that you two are feeling better?"

"Yes. Better, but still a bit tired." came the reply from beside him.

"I was thinking about what happened though.. And might have found the answer. It seems that someone had cast a lust spell earlier. That might have effected us." said Wufei as he stepped closer and into enough light that Duo could see.

"I don't think so Wufei." came a strong voiced comment from Heero.

There was a pause. A silent question already in the air.

"I am... Not affected by strait Magic."

Both Duo and Wufei looked surprised but not as startled as Heero expected.

"Well, that possibility is out the tent-flap now, isn't it." commented a smiling Duo.

"Yes, it matters not though. Not like the experience was harmful or anything." said Wufei.

A call from outside broke the conversation.

"Master Chang! Your needed for interrogation. They creatures will not talk to anyone but the 'flame master'."

Wufei left with a smirk and promise of return. Duo smiled at Heero and suddenly remembered what happened to him when he was fighting.

"Heero! Guess what, when you guys gave me your energy in that transfer thingy , that was really cool, I mean with the warmth and the feelings and everything? Oh, when you guys gave me your energy you also transferred your powers and instincts! I mean, that was amazing, I was out there and I could summon flames from my hands, and no one could hurt me cus your senses warned me early, I even had your reflexes! It wa-"

Heero had listened to all the important parts already and knew that nothing would come from it if he listened to the rest. So he silenced Duo for the rest of the time they were alone, wich sadly wasn't much, by kissing him.



After Wufei's return they all headed out to the main circle of the camp to partake in the victory feast. There was a bonfire, food galore, but the best of all was the dancing! Duo couldn't help but notice that most of it was less graceful then the fighting done only an hour before and laughed. As he was going back to the food to get another snack he was gently pulled aside into a tent. He didn't struggle, knowing only Heero would do that, but instead eagerly went inside.

The tent was simple. A tent. And a soft rug with pillows. That's it. Duo turned to pout at Heero but stopped short and glared. There were three men hiding behind the tent flap and the one that had lead him in here was not Heero. He recognized him from around the camp but couldn't place a name.

The man advanced toward him, Duo fell into a fighting stance and summoned his power.

"Alright, don't think I haven't noticed the three others over there. And what is this all about?"

He backed up slightly to give himself more room. The man that had lead him smiled, the smile was spit by a ... thing coming out of his face, his entire body, a costume, was ripped apart like paper. The other three came out of hiding and did the same thing. Luckily the had to pause to do so and Duo took that opportunity to shout for help, he also pulled out a dagger he happened to be wearing.

The thing that had ripped the body apart or was hiding inside was a big red blob with tentacles. Duo

blinked away the stories that he heard and threw a small wall of his Power at the thing.







Duo: Your not going to turn this into a rape/tentacle thing.

Zuci: Wasn't that supposed to be a question?

Heero: No. *death glare*TM

Zuci: .... no, im not, I was just trying to see how many people thought I was 'gonna.

Duo: So you never thought about it?

Zuci:.............................................. I plead the fifth.









One of the suddenly slimy tentacles shot toward him, but was deftly cut off and squished before Duo could react. Heero had jumped over the thing to do so and was now standing right next to Duo. Wufei walked in to the tent at that moment, he took in the slimy blobs, the human costumes and the wriggling tentacles with surprising calmness.

"What is this Lin?" Asked a calm Wufei.

The blob that had lead Duo to the tent seemed to cringe. The other three looked like they were going to be sick, though it was strange to think that.

Wufei glared at the four offenders, walked in front of Duo and Heero, and spoke.

"You will be tried in front of the council tomorrow, put on your skins and do not move from this tent."

He motioned for Heero and Duo to go in front of him. They left the tent.

Duo was not shaken, worse things then that threat had happened. He seemed to forget about it after returning to the party. Heero on the other hand was angry, not at Duo for not over reacting or at Wufei, but the things in that tent. He decided not to meddle in the ways of Wufei's tribe, but if the sentence did not fit the (almost) crime, then they would be visited.

Heero looked at Duo going for the food agian.

Duo was going for the food agian. His power made him hungry. That line of thought brought him back to what had happened. He wandered to a quiet corner of the camp and sat on a convenient log to think. He had not been scared, he knew he would not have been taken, its not like he was helpless. He was just trying to get out of the situation without having to hurt anyone. There was no doubt in his mind that he would have beaten them to a pulp...er.. Solid.. Whatever. Anyway, so there was no need to be in emotional turmoil. Good, he did not want to be like that. He smiled. It would be fun to get revenge anyway.



Heero walked up to Duo on his line of sight to make sure he diddn't startle him. He sat down next to him and slipped his hand around his waist. Duo sighed and smiled. Knowing that Heero thought he would be scared or something, he really diddn't wish to explain. He suddenly remembered a conversation that they had a while ago, when they first met.

flashback

Duo watched Heero from the corner of his eye as he filled the skins.

"You know, I was thinking that maybe should make a packed or something.."

"...."

"To make sure neither of us goes to far away or something...or-"

"Good idea. You don't have to make excuses, I feel the same way. For some reason it seems words are not enough. Maybe a traditional bond."

"The only traditional bond I know of is a dancing one, and a few with words, but they are only words."

"There is the blood binding."

"Yeah."

--

end flashback (not that there was much)

--

"Hey Heero, what do you think about making that binding that we talked about."

Heero's grip tightened. He nodded and stood, Duo stood also. They walked to the tent where Duo had received the energy transfer to talk and do the binding.
