Shadow awoke to the sound of someone jiggling the door knob and opening it.
Her eyes cracked open as she groggily tried to make out the figure that
walked toward her. In her subconscious, she saw Duo, but she knew it
wasnt. "Who are you?" that stern voice said clearly. She opened her eyes
to see a japanese boy glaring at her. "Im the one who called you." "How
did you get in here?" "I picked the lock. I figured i should be here to
tell you where Duo is." "Where is he?" "He is in the intensive care unit
of the hospital. He got jumped." "How." Shadow stood up to look at him
better. She figured that he was Heero. "I guess you dont know that Duo is
in a gang." "What?" "Okay, i guess he didnt tell you anything."
Heero walked over to her and sat in his chair. "Explain."
"Ive got alot of explaining to do. Well first, my name is Shadow, and i
have been seeing Duo for a while. He is the leader of a gang, the enemies
of my gang. I didnt know that until last night. People from my gang
jumped him last night and beat him severely. Some of his friends found him
and took him to the hospital." Heero's glare was making her uneasy.
"Why did he get jumped?" he asked, keeping the same low tone in his voice.
"Because," she paused and looked out the window, "Because of me. My
employer didnt want us to be together so he had him beat up."
"Where is he?"
"Ill take you to him, follow me." Shadow got up and grabbed her
trenchcoat, pulling it over her small body. She led Heero out of the
apartments toward the hospital.
The same nurse stopped him on his way in. "What are you doing?" she asked rudely. "Here to see a patient." "Im sorry but you must have access and permission. And you can only get that from me." The nurse stuck her nose up and tried to look proud of her worthless job. Heero glared at her and pulled out his gun, pointing it between her eyes. "Y-you have my permission to go" she gulped. "W-who are you here to see?" "Duo Maxwell." "uh yes yes, he is in room 250, up the stairs at the end of the hall." Heero put his gun away and headed up the stairs, followed by Shadow. He barged into Duo's room, making Michael jump. "Who are you?" the red head asked. "His room mate." Heero turned around, making Shadow stop short. "You arent needed here" he said harshly. "But..." Heero glared his death glare and she slowly turned to leave, taking one last glance at Duo's silent body. She ran out of the room, stomping down the stairs in fury.
Heero walked over to Duo's side and took a look at him. "Its that girls fault" Michael muttered. If they hadnt met this wouldnt have happened. "I never trusted her." "Who are you?" Heero asked planly. "We are friends of Duo's, we found him. Im Michael, thats Katou" he pointed to the blonde asleep in a chair. "Who are you?" Michael shot back. "Heero Yuy, Duo's friend. You all can leave." Michael, not in a mood to mess with anybody, grabbed Katou by his hair and dragged him out of the room, the blonde yelping and screeching like a puppy.
Shadow ran. It was the only thing that seemed right. Run away, forget about last night, all that happened. Even if just for a little bit, leave it all behind. She ran up to her apartment and slammed the door, fustrated by the locks, she slid down the door, crying as went. A wave of fury and sorrow overwhelmed her. Her fist slammed into the door, busting a hole in it. Pain shot up her knuckles as she observed the pieces of wood sticking out of it. Pain filled and overpowered the anguish that was swallowing her. She hit the door again, harder, making another hole in it next to the other one. She pulled herself to her feet and stumbled into a chair at her bar. She lit up a cigarette and took long deep drags on it, finishing it quickly and replacing it with another. Thats it, occupy your mind with something else, like pain, cold hard pain. After all, your not needed now. That bastard is all Duo needs at the moment. And the rest of his friends, not his enemies. She thought to herself and began pulling pieces of wood from her hand. It bled everywhere, but she didnt care. She smeared it all over the counter top and made herself a mixed drink with some of the stronest alcohol she had. Slamming it back made a warm full sensation sweep through her body. It was unremarkably pleasant. She made another one and did the same, putting her cigarette out. She found something else better than the last to calm her nerves and forget about last night's events, as well as today's. She got herself so drunk she didnt see Belial walk into her darkened apartment. "Hey you were having a party without me?! how is that possible?!" Belial joked and took a seat next to Shadow. "Here drink up" Shadow passed her a bottle of something and watched the red head slam it down. "Thats some good shit. Perfect thing to do tonight."
Afew hours later the two were so piss drunk they couldnt tell floor from cieling. Shadow had poured her heart out to Belial, all about Duo, and Heero, her part in it all. She cried so hard it hurt, and Belial laughed so hard she cried. In the end, they both wound up laughing at everything nothing, until they both passed out where they sat.
Michael had dragged Katou back to the Pit to inform everyone of what happened to their leader. He was raging mad and kicking and punching everything in sight. After he had yelled what happened to everyone he sat on the bed next to Raphael. "Bastard its all your fucking fault!!!!!! If you hadnt stopped that cunt in the street!!!! this wouldnt have happened!!!!" Michael screamed, his voice cracking like a small child. He stuck the tall blonde in the face, watching as he fell backwards hollering. "Michael this isnt my fault!!!! jesus!!!! i think you broke my nose!!!!!" "GOOD!!!! SOMEONE NEEDS TO TEACH YOU A FUCKING LESSON ASS HOLE!!!!!!!!!" Michael screamed and stormed out of the room, leaving it in utter silence. "Well that went well" Katou blurted out and lit a joint. "What in the fuck are you talking about?!! he just broke my nose!!!! my beautiful face!!! what in the hell am i supposed to do?!!!" "Live with it you dumb piece of shit. Maybe you could fuck a bline woman so she wouldnt have to see how ugly you are now" Jibril spat, making everyone else bust out in laughter. Raphael jumped off the bed and ran screaming like a little girl into the bathroom. A high pitched squeal came from the bathroom, making everyone laugh harder. "Damn this is some good shit" Katou blurted out before passing out, the joint still lit in his hand. "Damnit Katou! you are gonna burn this place down!" Yogi hollered and grabbed the joint. "This surely aint no marijuaina thats for sure" he took a drag on it and fell down. "Thats some strong shit." "Okay funs over" Jibril interrupted Yogi and pulled the joint from his hand, putting it out. "We got some work to do if we are gonna get Lucifer and his hoes back" She said.
