Heres the last chapter before the deadline! Just please review and try and help! @00 almost there! Maybe go back and review an earlier chapter :P Well here goes. It's not likely to be very long due to the fact I have a VERY short amount of time at the moment.

DISCLAIMER: Gawd.

~~~~~Heero P.O.V~~~~~

It has been a week. One week since Trowa went missing.

Quatre is delirious. And angry.

Every day, back and forth he paces, smashing things, kicking, hitting.. Even when he cooks dinner, he kills the vegetables as if they were another mobile suit in the line of combat.

Wufei seems to have taken up his sense of justice again, though he helps out a lot more and at every opportunity, watches the TV for signs and news.

He even at times tries to calm us all down.

Duo is now where.

I know where he is.. But it's like he's not there.

His door has staid unlocked ever since the Trowa incident, and every time someone peeks into his room, he's just standing.. Standing and staring in the mirror.

I myself have spent so much time on the laptop, trying to find Trowa's location. No success. Nothing. I couldn't even turn up one clue.

We now however have the news of a new corporation called White Fang, lead by Zech's of course.

That girls father.

That's what bugged me.

A girl…. On Zech's side… Saved our lives. At that range, with me the only one with a gun, we would have been dead. But she stopped him.

But another matter at hand. OZ gundams.

After searching their database, I came up with knowledge of one gundam still residing within their corporation.

It was Tallgeese II, piloted by Trieze. The other two were reported stolen. No doubt Tallgeese and another. The girl's.

This whole situation was nuts.

But it's helped me realize something.

I do have a human side.

I've once again learned how to feel. How to smile. How to laugh.. How to cry…

But I keep it secret.

I could not even begin to explain the relief I had felt when Duo was returned to us.. And now I cannot describe the anger and hurt I feel now that he's shunned us.

But he had loved her, as Quatre had reported.

And she was the enemy.

I bet he knew what we all knew.

We would have to destroy her sooner or later, despite the facts.

If she attacked us, we most likely need to retaliate.

No.. Not mostly likely..

We will.

And I never fail a mission.

Duo hardly ate, which was unusual for him.. But at times the tray we set aside did disappear.

I was currently typing at my laptop on the kitchen table. Quatre was killing vegetables. Wufei was just sitting and reading.

And that's when Duo came down.

He looked awful, his hair all messed up, his violet eyes glassy and his clothes dirty. He was pale, dark bags sagging under his eyes, giving him a haunted look.

But once again.. And even as feeble as it was, that grin sat upon his face.

The first thing he did as we all stared speechless, was run up and hug me.

Yes.. Hug me.

And then I heard his whisper, "Thank you for not killing her. And thank you for caring."

And he pulled back, his eyes sparkling in happiness.

Next, he grabbed Wufei and hugged him so tight I thought the Chinese boy would burst. But he didn't protest and to my amazement, he returned the hug, muttering, "Nice to see you too Duo."

And next came Quatre.

Quatre had snapped out of his foul mood and was leaping for joy, and he ended up hugging Duo first, rather than Duo hugging him.

As they finally pulled away, I saw the huge, goofy grin I so well remembered once more.

Duo was back.

~~~~~TBC

Just to end on a happy note. I hope this is long enough.. I think it's a bit short. I'll definitely right more later. Thank you so much and please try to review a lot today! Tomorrow is da end! Buh bai!
