Lonely part 2

His knee buckled and he fell to the ground. The men caught up with him. He scrambled away from them but they quickly surrounded him. He pushed himself up from the ground.

"You shouldn't have refused me that dance gorgeous…" Duo's eyes widened when he recognized the man from the club. Even though he knew he was outnumbered he still wasn't going down without a fight! Hopefully he could catch them by surprise. He lunged at the guy from the bar quickly kicking him in the stomach. While he fell to his knees Duo swung around and punched the nearest person to him full in the face. The man stumbled back covering his broken nose. The others were slowly beginning to react to the surprise attack, but not before Duo had landed another punch into one guy's stomach and drop kicked another. One of them elbowed him in the back. He gasped, stumbling forward. Another punched him in the stomach as he staggered towards him. He dropped to his knees gasping. The guy from the club walked over. Duo looked up glaring at him. In his hand he held a dagger. He hit Duo across the face with the handle. Duo fell to the side.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Before he had a chance to hit Duo again the teenager had launched himself at the man, shouldering him backwards. He repeatedly punched him. The guy swore and cursed, swinging the knife haphazardly. The blade slashed Duo's arm. Then he brought the knife back and plunged it into Duo's side. Duo cried out in pain, staggering away from his attacker. Suddenly there was a gunshot. The men scattered. Duo glanced down at his injured side. He grabbed the knife by the hilt, gritting his teeth as he pulled it from the wound. He hissed in pain falling to his knees. He tossed the bloody dagger away from him disgusted. He took a few deep shaky breaths. He tried to stand holding his hand over the wound as blood seeped through his fingers. Someone rushed to his side bending down next to him.

"K! He's hurt really badly. Those men stabbed him" Another figure stood next to the first. They were both male. He fended them away.

"I'm fine" he grumbled "It's nothing I can't handle. I've had worse paper cuts than this." He forced himself to stand, looking through pain-filled eyes at his rescuers.

The blonde looked at him with a mixture of respect and concern. The brunette looked on in disbelief. Duo scanned the ground for his bag.

"Maybe so…but we'll just get it looked at anyway eh?" Duo staggered over to his bag groaning as he bent down. The brunette ran over and picked it up for him.

"Fine so!" Duo grumbled "I don't think I'm going to be able to get rid of you otherwise." K chuckled.

"Well I would've left after another few minutes but I doubt you could've shaken Ryuichi" K said.

"How bad is it?" Duo lifted his fingers to have a look.

"It's deep but I don't think it hit any organs…" he gave his chest a quick poke "I have one or two broken ribs and I'd say they're all bruised" he added with a wry grin. K looked at him in astonishment.

"How are you still standing??" Ryuichi gasped voicing K's thoughts. Duo smiled weakly.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"I'm used to pain…" he sighed "My ribs have been broken so many times at this stage I don't think there was ever a time when they were all completely healed." 'Why am I telling them this?' Duo asked himself.

"B…but how?" Ryuichi asked shocked. Duo winked at him.

"Top Secret!" Duo said, "If I told you I'd have to kill you" he joked. Ryuichi gave a little laugh.

"You're an awesome fighter!" he said enthusiastically. Duo blushed.

"Thanks…ummm…how far is this place cause my legs are just about to give up"

"It's not far now" K said looking at Duo anxiously "you look like you're going to faint…here" He bent down in front of Duo.

"Haha, 's going to give you a piggy back…wait till I tell Kumagorou!" Duo grumbled but let himself be carried. He placed one hand around K's neck loosely and kept the other hand over the wound. He watched Ryuichi who was…skipping??…along beside them.

"You look really familiar…" he said to Ryuichi.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Probably cause I'm a singer" he smiled up at Duo "You still haven't told us who you are…or is that Top Secret too?" Duo grinned sheepishly.

"My name's Duo Maxwell."

"Pleased to meet you Duo Maxwell! Oh look! We're nearly there," He said pointing to one of the nearby buildings.

"Run ahead and tell them we'll be there in a second Ryuichi!" Ryuichi nodded and ran towards the building.

"Not long now Duo and we'll get you fixed up." Duo nodded. His body tensed as the pain in his side got worse. He was having trouble staying awake.

"K…I…I can't st…stay awake much longer." He groaned biting his lip. They finally reached the hospital and the doctor was waiting outside with Ryuichi. Duo was lowered onto a stretcher. He looked up at the doctor and his eyes widened.

"Sally…" he said before blacking out. Sally gasped when she heard the boy say her name…his voice sounded strangely familiar.

"What's his name?" she asked K and Ryuichi.

"Duo Maxwell…" K said. She looked down at Duo.

"Oh God Duo…Of course…" She ran a hand through his short hair "…your hair…" She looked up at the others, who looked very confused at that moment.

"Wait here and I'll let you know how he is soon" She rushed off.

To Be Continued……
