Under The moon
Chapter seven

Minako's heels clicked on the floor as she walked over to the bed. When she got over to the bedside Duo's eyes were closed and he looked as peaceful as he had from the doorway.
" Duo?" Minako whispered. Duo's eyes flickered open.
" Minako?" Duo said sitting up. Minako was smiling with tear streaming down her face." Why are you crying?" Duo asked wiping away a tear.
" Oh Duo!" Minako said as she flung her arms around the young man." I Usagi just said you had been shot and it thought I thought,"
" Don't worry I was just shot in the leg," Duo said holding the whimpering girl.

" How'd you get here in such little notice?" Quatre asked the girls.
" Well Usagi had been on the phone with Hiiro and all of a sudden he had to go because Duo was shot. But that was all she knew." Makoto explained.
" So then she called me and we decided to catch a plane as soon as possible." Rei said
" After calling me and Makoto," Ami explained.
" I called Minako and explained the situation," Usagi added.
" Wow," Wufei said," I can see how strong your friendship is between you girls," The girls just laughed. Usagi was glad she had come, and she was glad Hiiro was ok.

" Does it hurt?" Minako asked sitting on the side of the bed.
" Not as much as it did before the operation," Duo explained.
" What do you mean operation?"
" They had to take the bullet out, or else I could have gotten and infection and then I would have had to get my leg amputated," Minako was silent. Duo lifted up Minako's face with two fingers and gave her a light kiss." don't worry," Minako gave him another kiss and the heard a rustle in the doorway. She looked up.
" Hey Duo," Usagi said.
" Hey guys," Duo.
" The other four girls walked up and gave him a hug each.
" How ya doin?" Makoto asked.
" Not too shabby,"
" That's good," Ami said.
" So are you going to continue fighting or what?" Rei asked.
" I don't know," Duo replied." I haven't talked to the serge,"
" Well, it's up to the doctor and how long it'll take to heal," The serge said walking up.
" Oh hey serge didn't see you walk up," Duo said." Usagi, Rei, Ami, Makoto and Minako I'd like you to meet my commanding officer, Sergeant Jones,"
" It's a pleasure," said Sergeant Jones.
" Hi," They all said shaking his hand.
" So ladies how did you get in and why are you here? You know the penalty for trespassing right?"
" Huh, what? What penalty?" Usagi said. The Serge just laughed.
" I'm kidding, but I would like you know who you are,"
" We're friends of Duo and girlfriends of Hiiro, Quatre, Wufei, and Trowa." Rei said." Oh and Minako is Duo's girlfriend."
" Fine bunch of men girls good choice," The serge said smiling. The girls laughed a bit.
" But I myself Duo will not be joining us in the battle field anymore, which is quiet a shame, but his leg will take weeks to heal," Serge said." So Private Maxwell. It was nice working with you I hope you the best of luck in life."
" Thank-you Sir," Duo said shaking his hand. After the serge left everyone was silent for awhile." you hear that? I'm coming home,"
