Chapter 11: The Dragon's Plight
Heero watched the scene with a cold dispassionate gaze. Yue was being held by two men in uniform while Wufei was confronting a man with ebony hair and midnight blue eyes. From the conversation, he gathered that this man was Mamoru. To everyone watching it appeared Heero didn't care for the girl's safety but he, himself, knew otherwise. His heart was pounding loudly in his chest and his entire body felt numb.
Aiming his gun at Mamoru, Heero hesitated. What if he hit Wufei? What would the other men do to Yue if he killed their leader? For the first time in his life Heero Yuy felt fear, and he didn't like it one bit. He narrowed his eyes when Wufei pressed his sword against Mamoru's throat in his rage. Heero wasn't too calm either after hearing Mamoru's comment. /I'll make him regret it. I won't kill him but I'll make him beg for his death when I'm through with him/. Better make that furious.
Heero snapped himself out of his destructive thoughts when he saw Wufei fell to the floor. He was puzzled by this but he didn't let his confusion show. He looked a bit more closely at the Chinese boy and saw blood seeping out and pooling around his still body. The Perfect Soldier removed any hesitation and fired his gun at Mamoru. The latter looked up in surprise as he felt the impact of the bullets on his chest. He turned to look at Heero who was holding the smoking gun which was still pointed at him. Trowa imitated Heero standing not too far apart from the Japanese teen, pointing his own silencer at the ebony haired man. It also had smoke coming out of it and it didn't take a genius to figure out what he did.
Mamoru started to chuckle with his hand covering his bleeding upper body, soaking them with blood. "Fools! Do you really think you could kill me with mere weapons such as those? If you do then you are more pathethic than I thought! You can't kill an immortal such as me that easily."
Mamoru removed his hand from his chest and Heero's eyes widened a fraction of an inch when he saw the bleeding had stopped and the bullet holes had disappeared leaving the parts which could be seen through the holes on Mamoru's clothes smooth without a trace of scar or any injuries. /Immortal?/
"MAMORU! LEAVE THEM ALONE!"
Heero turned to look at Yue who didn't seem to be suprised at the man's lack of injuries despite having about six bullets imbedded in him not so long ago. From the corner of his eyes, the Japanese boy saw Trowa was as shocked as he was by the complete lack of expression on his face proving that he had placed his mask to hide his true feelings.
"Why, Usako. I wasn't going to do anything to them. I'm appalled that you would think so," Mamoru replied with a false smile on his face.
"Leave now, Mamoru, or I won't hesitate to kill you. Unlike the others I _know_ how to kill you and make sure you stay dead," Yue hissed. Anger was reflected clearly through her silver eyes.
"Fine," Mamoru acquiesced but before he disappeared he said, "I will leave you for now but this is just the beginning. You would do well to remember who is stronger, my dear Usako."
Following their leader, the four guardians also teleported themselves out of the place.
Yue rushed over where Wufei was and checked his pulse. "Tro-niichan, Hee-niichan! He's still alive but his pulse is very weak. We need to get him back to the mansion soon so he can be treated."
Heero and Trowa increased their pace to get to the other two. When they reached them, Trowa quickly examined the Chinese youth to see if the injury was fatal. It seemed that Wufei had been stabbed by a flower. A black rose to be exact. It was imedded deeply in him, narrowly missing his heart. Trowa chose not to remove it since they didn't know whether it had thorns or not and he didn't want to risk it.
Heero decided to carry Wufei back to the mansion since he was the strongest out of all of them and they wanted to get back as soon as possible. Time was the essence.
They ran all the way back to the mansion. Heero was holding Wufei carefully and tried not to jostle the bleeding boy too much while he was running so he wouldn't aggravate the wound.
Yue ran ahead of the others and reached the mansion first. She slammed the door open and found a frantic Quatre and Duo running over to her, worry etched on their faces.
"Yue! Where have you been?" Quatre exclaimed. "We've been worried sick about you! Where are the others?"
At that moment Trowa and Heero, who was carrying Wufei, burst into the living room.
"What happened to Wufei? Is he okay?" Quatre asked. He helped Heero to place Wufei gently on the couch while Trowa left to get the first aid kit.
"Where the hell did you all go?! Leaving me and Quatre hanging here like that! What the hell were you all thinking?!" Duo ranted at the three of them. His cheeks were flushed with anger and none of his normal cheerfulness showed in his expression.
"Calm down, Duo. Being angry is not going to solve anything," Trowa pointed out, walking back into the room carrying the first aid kit in his hand. He moved to Wufei's side and started to cut the Chinese boy's top with a pair of scissors.
"CALM?! CALM?!" Duo fumed. "How the fuck am I supposed to be calm when we're being targeted by some psycho?! First Ranma then Wufei who's going to be next, huh? I-"
"Duo," Heero cut in before the braided boy could say anything else. "Don't let anger cloud your judgement. Calm down."
With those words Duo seemed to crumple before them. His eyes were bright with unshed tears but he didn't let them fall. He saw flashes of Maxwell Church, Father Maxwell and Sister Helen. /It was because of my anger and my foolish pride that they died. It was all my fault! I'm sorry, I'm sorry.../
Quatre was clutching his chest seemingly in pain.
"Duo..." Heero started but stopped, unsure about what to do. He wanted to comfort his best friend but he didn't know how.
Duo took a deep shuddering breath and smiled weakly at Heero. "I'll live. Don't worry, Heero."
Heero grunted in reply then turned his attention to Trowa. "How is he, Trowa?"
"He's okay although he will be out of action for a while. Luckily the rose didn't have any thorns so it was not hard to remove it," Trowa reported, wiping his hand on a piece of cloth. He started to bandage Wufei's chest, putting some ointment on the injury so it would heal faster.
Quatre sighed in relief. "Thank Allah." He looked around in confusion. "Where's Yue?"
It took them several moments to realise that the girl was indeed missing. The four boys exchanged worried glances. They were afraid she might do something rash.
"Trowa, stay here and watch Wufei. Quatre, go check her room. Duo, you come with me and search the mansion," Heero ordered.
They all nodded and split up. Quatre rushing to Yue's room while Duo and Heero went to Ranma's room first.
They stopped in front of the martial artist's room and opened the door slightly. Looking in they saw the sleeping form of Yue beside the unconscious Ranma. Heero's expression softened for a moment at the sight but he covered it up before Duo could notice. The latter entered the room and placed a blanket on the sleeping girl. Duo brushed a few strands of silver blonde hair from Yue's face then lightly kissed her forehead before leaving the room with Heero behind him. They closed the door quietly so they didn't disturb the couple.
On their way back to living room, they passed Quatre and informed him of Yue's whereabouts.
"Good. That's one problem solved," the Arabian boy muttered, shaking his head. He was developing a headache from the current situation.
"What do we do now?" Duo asked when they were all seated in the living room.
"I think it's time to find out what Yue did while she was missing. The attacks seemed to be connected to her," Trowa spoke up from where he was holding Quatre.
"I agree with Trowa," Quatre quipped from his position, snuggling deeper into his lover's embrace.
Duo grinned, "You agree to anything that Trowa says, Kat. I wouldn't be surprised if you agree to having a threesome just because Trowa says so."
Quatre turned red and sputtered, "Duo! Get your mind out of the gutter!"
Heero smirked, "I think that's impossible for him since he has a very high libido and no way of venting it."
"Heeeerrrrrroooooooooo! How could you!?" Duo wailed, almost sounding like Relena.
Heero shuddered. "Duo, if you do that again I will kill you."
Trowa nodded, "That sounded way too much like Relena." He tilted his head, "Then again you can pass off as her with your long hair and your 'Heero' wail."
"Tro! How could you even suggest such a thing. Of all the times for you and Heero to develop a sense of humor, you have to pick now?!"
Heero and Trowa just smirked at Duo's indignant expression while Quatre tried to hold back his chuckles unsuccessfully.
