Alrighty people! I'm sooooooooo sorry that it took me so long to finally get this chapter out. There are so many reasons why I didn't have it out sooner that it doesn't make much sense to tell you. My excuses would be longer than the chapter here! But please forgive me.
Don't own, never did, never will! If I did SM and GW would be so much cooler!
Usagi's POV
I was heading over to Motoki's when I saw Duo. I was so happy to see him. The last time I had seen him was almost two years ago before I met Mamarou.
I was so caught up in my memories of him that I didn't notice the fact that he was stumbling about. I didn't even notice the fact that he was so pale that it seemed as though all the blood had been drained out of him. When I finally did notice that something was wrong, Duo had slumped against a wall. The bloody handprint he left on the wall to steady himself was frightening.
I called to him. I was extremely worried, but it didn't seem like he heard me. He was too busy half-sobbing, half-laughing to hear me. I ran to him then, still calling his name. That was when he looked at me. I think he was too far-gone to recognize me. He confirmed my suspicions when he mumbled something about an angel and proceeded to pass out.
The moment he passed out, I screamed for help. I could see blood pooling out on the ground. That had me worried. That was way too much blood for him to be losing. After a quick check, I found a large slit in his stomach where the blood was pouring out. Alarmed, I once again screamed for help.
I stood up and started to try and stop people. I wasn't very hard, my hands and my new baby blue dress were covered with blood.
Two men stopped to see what the problem was. One of them tried his best to stanch the blood that was still fast in coming. The other tried to wake Duo up, to no avail. A woman passing stopped and watched the scene for a while before she got out her cell phone and called 911 for an ambulance.
I myself wasn't much help. I was frantic and scared. Duo, beautiful inside and out, was dying. And although I hadn't seen him in quite a while, he was very dear to me.
Eventually, an ambulance did show up. They checked him out and took over the jobs the nice men had started. Duo was still breathing, they told me, but if they didn't get him to the hospital soon, he was going to die.
Now I may not be the smartest person on earth, (MY teachers can vouch for that!) but I already knew the condition of my friend, even before they showed up. No one can lose that much blood and not be on the verge of death. So I told them so.
They loaded Duo on the truck and I was allowed to ride with them (after an ear-splitting wailing protest when they told me I couldn't). I held on to his hand the whole way there. I knew that Duo had lost a lot of blood, but it still surprised me with how cold his hand was. It was almost as if I was holding a dead hand. But I tried not to think about it. Duo was alive and he would live, that's all that mattered to me.
When we got to the hospital, they took him away from me so they could work on him. After an hour, they had Duo in recovery. They let me in to see him. He looked like he was sleeping, if not for the several tubes they had him hooked up to. I dragged a chair over to his bed and just sat there and watched him for a while.
2 minutes after I grabbed his hand, I heard the door behind me open. I didn't need to turn around to see who it was, I already knew. I could feel his eyes burning a whole into my back.
"Usagi!"
I kinda cringed at the way he said my name. He said it with such hatred and venom. I understood why, though. The last time I saw both Duo and Heero, I was busy drooling over Duo, not knowing the two of them were a couple. But I swear, the boy was flirting back, so could you really blame me for not knowing?
I stood up and turned to look back at Heero. He glared back at me. I sighed.
"Hello, Heero. Duo will be fine, although, I would like to know what happened to him. He lost a lot of blood when I found him. If I hadn't managed to get him to a hospital, he would have died."
Although no emotions were betrayed by his facial expressions, his face blanched at my words. He quickly glanced at Duo and paled even more. He opened his mouth, as if to say something, but nothing came out. He looked at me again, and this time when he tried to say something, it actually made itself audible.
"Please leave." Was the barely audible "something" he managed to get out.
He didn't need to tell me twice. I'd seen Heero when he was pissed off, I didn't want to do anything to piss him off again. So I got up and nodded to him. I wanted to go see Mamoru anyway.
I got up and took one last look at Duo. Yeah, there were still feelings there, but it's not like we'd ever happen. I mean, I had Mamo-chan and he had Heero. No, we'd never happen.
