Duo was woken from another nightmare by the phone ringing. "Hello?"

"Mr. Maxwell?" A man said on the phone.

"Yeah, that's me...." Duo frowned softly.

"Is a Miss Yuy your roommate?" The man asked.

"Yeah...." Duo blinked, his dream coming back to mind. In it, he'd seen himself pick up a loaded gun and shoot Heero right in the head. He could still hear the dream voice of Heero plead with him to not kill her.

"Could.... could you come down to the emergency room please, Mr. Maxwell?" The man said.

"Sure...." Duo agreed and heard the click of the phone.

He replaced his own phone, then stared at it. Why did he have to go to the emergency room? What would he find there? And what had happened to Heero?

When Duo got to the emergency room, his first stop was to the front nurse's station.

A kindly woman smiled at him. "May I help you?"

"Uh...." Duo thought a moment, trying to think of his words. "I got a phone call not too long ago that I had to come down here."

The nurse looked down at a clipboard in front of her. "You're Mr. Maxwell?"

Duo nodded. "Yeah, that's me."

The nurse pointed down the hall. "Go down the hall until you see a doctor. Say who you are and that's that."

Duo nodded again. "Ok. And thanks." With that over with, he jogged to where he was told to go.

A doctor was standing outside an operating room. "Mr. Maxwell?"

Duo nodded curtly. "That's me. Why was I called into the emergency room?"

"It's Miss Yuy." The doctor pointed to the operating room over his shoulder. "She's in there."

Duo peered in and bit back a gasp. Heero lay on the operating table, her blue sundress half ripped up. One arm dangled from the table and from where he stood, he could see that the pale arm was slashed in a criss cross manner, almost close to how the boy from his dream had had his arm. Blood ran from a cut from her eye to her lip, marring her pale cheek. There was a bullet wound on the upper part of the arm that dangled from the table as well as another bullet wound in her upper thigh. A thin trail of blood fell from her slack, pale lips.

Duo leaned his forehead against the glass of the door as he saw the killing bullet wound. It was on her temple closest to the door, the one where he'd killed her in his dream. Tears fell down his cheeks, but they went unnoticed.

"You're Mr. Maxwell, right?" An officer asked him.

He silently nodded, then leaned his cheek against the glass. "What happened?" His voice sounded so small.

The officer checked his pad. "From how the scene looked, Miss Yuy had gone to Mr. Barton's house for a date. We don't know what happened from when she'd gotten there to when she was killed, but neighbors heard arguing. From what the neighbors said as well, they heard Miss Yuy yell at Mr. Barton about something about a ring, and the next thing they heard were three shots." The officer indicated the three shots on the girl's body. "Then, apparently, Mr. Barton turned the gun on himself and pulled the trigger. Guy must have been shocked that he killed his girl."

Duo nodded softly, still staring at Heero's dead body. She was so alive just a few hours earlier... Now... she was dead....

His chest hurt, but he didn't know why.
