Katou slumped down the streets, too stoned to care about anything. His
mind was in wonderland, dreaming of new drugs to try. Having no particular
place to go, he wandered down alleys and behind buildings, making his walk
more interesting. The blonde druggie walked down one alley, it smelled of
blood. He payed no mind to it and kept dragging himself. A drop of blood
fell on his face.
"Wha the fu-?" he looked up. "Duo? jesus christ Duo!" he spat out, staring
in horror at his tied up friend. He took off, running as fast as he could
toward the pit.
Katou ran until he bumped into Michael. "Michael!! come help!!! Duo got hurt!" "What in the fucks sake are you babbling about?" Michael glared at Katou. "Come with me Michael! its true!!!" Katou grabbed Michael's fractured arm and dragged him to where Duo was. Michael beat Katou in the head and paused, slowly looking up to see Duo, nailed to a piece of ply wood in the shape of a cross. "Jesus!" Michael cried and pulled the plywood down. Katou helped as much as he could, not alot. Michael ordered Katou to pick him up and to follow him. "Why cant you carry him?" Katou complained. "Because i cant! if you ask me again im gonna rip your balls off and feed them to you!! so shut the fuck up and follow me!" Katou followed Michael to the nearest, cleanest hospital.
"Hello Shadow" Alexial slid into Shadow's apartment, without the chinese girl noticing. "Alexial, what are you doing here?" Shadow asked, pulling her bathrobe over her. Lucifer strode in behind her. "Hello my dear sweet Shadow." "What do you guys want?" Shadow asked again but silenced when Lucifer shoved her into a chair. "Whats this about?" "You wouldnt lie to me Shadow?" Lucifer asked, kneeing down infront of her, stroking her face. "No." "Good. Youve been consulting with our enemies." "What do you mean?" "Dont play dumb with me girl. Ive seen you. Youve been consulting with Duo Maxwell." "Yes so, we are together." Alexial smacked her across the face. "You stupid girl. Dont you know who he is? Duo is the leader of our enemies. And you are dating him?" "What?! i dont understand." "Well there is nothing to worry about, hes been disposed of, He wont be bothering you or us anymore" Lucifer smirked and stood up. "What do you mean?" Shadow questioned. A knot formed in her throat and dreaded what Lucifer would say. "Hes dead, thats all there is to it. Goodbye love, I suggest you find someone else to fuck. That boy wont be useful to you anymore." Lucifer kissed Shadow's forehead and left, followed by Alexial. She blew a kiss in Shadow's direction and closed the door quietly. "Do you think we got our point across?" Lucifer asked his lover. An ear piercing scream sounded from her apartment. "I do believe so. Duo is out of the picture which means Shadow can get back to work. Though it is sad, I did warn her not to fall in love in her business. After all, whores dont love." Alexial lit up a cigarette and put an arm around Lucifer's waist as they walked out of the complex.
Shadow lay on the floor, eyes red and puffy from sobbing. "That bastard! i hate you!!" she cried and threw glass across the room, watching it shatter. "What am i going to do? What can i do?" she thought out loud and shot down a drink of some kind. "I dont want to be alone in this apartment now." Her head shot up. "Thats it! Duo's room mate! ill go to him!" The chinese goth dried her eyes and grabbed her coat, heading out to find Duo's room mate.
"Shit! i have no fucking clue where he lives." She dug through thoughts in the back of her memory for any clues as to where he might live. A vague memory reminded her and she ran to make sure she was correct.
It took a bit, but Shadow got to the building. She checked with the clerk to make sure he lived there. When the clerk waved her in, she ran up the stairs to the apartment. It was locked, and no one answered. The silence was getting to her so she picked the lock on the door. The entire apartment was dark. It looked like no one had been here. "Damn! he didnt come home." Shadow searched around the place, looking for a number or something to contact Duo's room mate. She came across a letter on the fridgerator.
Duo, I know you will probably mess something up while im away. So im gonna lay down the rules again. You better lock the door. And stay out of trouble. You will be in deep shit if i come home and youve done something. Ill see you in two weeks. Heero
It had a number where Heero could be reached at the bottum. Shadow quickly picked up the phone and dialed it. It rung for afew seconds before someone picked up "Hello?" a soft feminine sounding voice answered. "Uh yes, i need to speak with Heero." "Okay, one minute." The phone was covered as the name Heero was shouted. Someone else picked up the phone, while another hung up. "Hello?" a stern voice said. "Is this Heero?" "Yes." "Um hi, You dont know me, but im a friend of Duo's. Im calling because he got into some serious trouble and needs you right away." "How did you get this number?" "Thats really not important right now, Duo is in real danger, he might not make it. He needs you now." "Ok." Heero hung up the phone. Shadow's heart slowly started to go back down to her chest. It jumped into her throat when she spoke to him. "Bastard" she muttered and left the apartment, locking the door once again and took off for the pit.
Shadow walked slowly down the streets, a heaviness on her heart. She fought back tears until she couldnt stand it anymore. She turned down an alley and sat down on a board. She curled up into a ball, hugging her knees and sobbed. She wiped her eyes and placed her hands behind her. They slipped in something and the smell of blood filled her nostrils. She turned around to see what was there. Blood, alot of blood and some huge nails. It looked like someone had been nailed to the board she was sitting on. It was fresh. Shadow immediatly pulled herself up and backed off the board. "This...this..." She shook her head and backed up into the next wall, slipping on a wet plastic bag. Her skull collided with the brick wall, stealing her consciousness away. Her dreams plagued her with what had truly happened to Duo. She saw his body hanging from the wood, the look of fear in his eyes, the tears that fell from them. Her eyes snapped open as she saw his friends carry him away. She stood up immediatly and took off running to the place they had taken him.
The nurse at the front desk gave her a hard time. "Im sorry maam, not everyone can be emmitted into seeing the patient, he already has two of them in there with him." "Look here you fat bitch! thats my fucking boyfriend in there! and if you wont let me see him, ill go in on my own! fuck off!" she screamed, tears threatening to fall unwillingly. "Security! throw that girl out!!" the woman screamed. Two large men came rushing toward Shadow. She dodged them and ran up the stairs to intensive care. She jumped up to see through the windows. "Not in any of these!" she cried. "Hey kid get back here!" the officers yelled from behind her. Shadow ran to the last room and jumped up. "Duo!" she screamed, getting a glance of Duo lying on a bed, with Michael and a blonde at his sides. One of the officers tackled her to the ground. "Let go of me you fat fuck!!!!" she screamed, kicking and fighting to get free of the larger man's grip, but to no avail. They threw her out onto the street and closed the door behind them. She let out a sigh of desperation and trudged down the wet street in the rain. "Heero would be able to get in. But he wont know where he is." Shadow walked in the direction of the apartment. Shadow once again picked the lock, letting herself into the apartment. The clock struck 6 a.m. She took off her coat and slumped on the couch, covering her eyes from the light of the lamp next to her. "Oh God, even if there is one, save him" she whispered, dozing off with her last words.
Katou ran until he bumped into Michael. "Michael!! come help!!! Duo got hurt!" "What in the fucks sake are you babbling about?" Michael glared at Katou. "Come with me Michael! its true!!!" Katou grabbed Michael's fractured arm and dragged him to where Duo was. Michael beat Katou in the head and paused, slowly looking up to see Duo, nailed to a piece of ply wood in the shape of a cross.
