~~~~~Trowa P.O.V~~~~~
"She has no will to live."
Duo stumbled back, falling onto a chair, blinking at Quatre. I watched silently as Heero snorted, "Yeah. We brought her with us. But because she lacks the will to live, she's nearly dead."
"Just curing wounds does not cure the soul." I muttered.
Wufei growled, "I can't believe you stopped Heero from shooting her while she was down Quatre."
"She's not our enemy any more!"
It has been two weeks since the end of the war, and we were in the same place as ever. Duo had awoken this morning, and confronted us immediately about Sarah.
Yeah.
We had brought her with us.
Heero wanted to kill her off. As did Wufei. Quatre seemed to just hesitate before stopping both of them. Neither was happy.
We should have killed her.
The misery she was in at the moment, was clearly to much for her to bare, for she was slowly deteriorating.
"Where is she?"
"In the hangar.. The parts room. We cleaned it out and set her up in there, since it's steel walled and oddly enough has a bathroom."
Duo was immediately up, running to the place specified. We all followed, though rather reluctantly.
As we got there, Duo stared through the thick glass window occupying the door. Quatre yelped, "She's awake!"
"She is?"
How? Even Heero, he had injuries not even near hers before, and it took him such a long time to wake up.
I glanced into the darkened room, making out her sitting figure, with her legs drawn up to her chest, and head tucked between.
That must have been painful. She had, had so many broken ribs.. And a broken leg, along with various gashes and bruises everywhere.
Duo tried to open the door, and found he couldn't, "You locked it?"
"Don't go in."
I heard the click of a gun as Heero pointed it towards the braided male. Duo froze.
"Why not?"
"You don't know what she'll do."
"She wouldn't do a thing!" With a single kick, he sent the door off it's hinges and rushed into the room.
"Dammit Maxwell!" I heard Wufei yell.
I stood there, silently watching as Duo kneeled next to the huddled figure, "Sarah?"
There was no answer.
He reached an arm towards her. With such speed, I could barely follow, her arms had grasped his, twisted and slammed downwards. A loud crack was heard as Duo fell back with a yell, arm obviously dislocated, or broken at the socket.
"Duo!" Quatre yelled, rushing over to the wincing boy.
I bet it hurt.
I turned my attention back to her, as she once again regained her original posture. Heero pointed his gun for her skull, taking a step forward, "I knew we should have killed her."
"Then do it."
I blinked. She had spoken. A raspy, hollowed out shell of speech. So cold.. So...dead.
Heero snorted, "If that is what you wish." His finger began to close on the trigger. Within seconds, she was up, his gun knocked from his hand, gun shot heard as it clearly ripped through her right shoulder.
She tackled him immediately, hands wrapping about his throat, wounds bursting open once more in a shower of blood.
He brought his leg up directly into her gut, twisting his foot upwards to kick her away, her form sent flying into the wall.
Blood splattered as she gave a cough, shaking rather hard as she tried to push herself up.
"Heero!" Duo cried out, lunging infront of the once again pointed gun.
His arm was set in place and bandaged, Quatre's handiwork. It was then Wufei grabbed Duo from behind and restrained him, glancing to Heero, who only nodded.
Click was heard as he set the trigger again.
"Stop this." I muttered, their gazes turning towards me.
"The war is over. There is no more need for death. You need not kill someone who is already dead." I glanced over towards the crumpled, now unconscious female, "She's suffered enough."
Wufei released Duo, as Heero lowered his gun and grumbled, "Fine." Before stalking off.
"What can we do now? The door.. It's broken."
I looked to Quatre, "Find somewhere else for her until the door is fixed."
"I can't think of anywhere.. But Heero's room. It has no windows, and the door is steel reinforced, without hinges."
Wufei snorted, "Good luck trying to make him accept that." Then he too, left.
"No where else?"
Quatre shook his head towards me.
"We better get her bandaged up and moved then."
"Alright." Leaving a basically stunned Duo, we made our way over to her battered body and began once again to patch her up.
"Trowa.. Should we have really brought her?"
"This girl has sacrificed everything for us, and we repaid her by destroying her father. The least we can do is heal her."
"But you said she was already dead."
"Her soul is crumbling. It's obvious that her father was the only family she had left. She was adopted after all."
"Do you think she knows Relena is her adoptive aunt?"
"I doubt it."
"What about Duo?"
"Her loyalties were greater towards her father. I think she feels Duo has betrayed her, and Duo the same way, only that she betrayed him. This is a situation they both must figure out for themselves."
"All done."
Quatre finished the last bandage and I picked her up, noting the extreme lightness of her thin body. I looked to see Duo, but found him not there.
"Where'd he go?"
"He won't leave. Not when Sarah is here. He most likely went for a walk."
Heero was on his laptop when we entered. He turned and blinked, "What do you want?"
I laid Sarah upon the bed, "She's staying here for now."
"What?!"
"Heero. Your room is the only room suited to keep her here."
"Let her leave for all I care."
"We know YOU don't care. But don't you care Duo cares?" I pointed out.
Freezing, he narrowed his eyes into a glare that was becoming tiresome.
"She's staying here. That's that. There's not much she can do. You basically beat what life she had in her back out." Quatre grumbled and left.
I shrugged, "You can still sleep here if you want. Wufei has the couch, Duo has his room, Quatre, out of kindness took the floor and insisted me having a bed. There's a few cots still left. You'll just have to bare sleeping downstairs with the rest of us."
"She touches me, I'll shoot her."
"Try not to. Remember what she did for us." I turned and left the stoic Heero to his thoughts.
And as I shut the door, I began to think.
Why had she done all of that for us? And. She had injured all of our gundam's, without killing or destroying any of us. I could tell she had withdrawn intentionally.
After all that had happened, she was still willing to go through lengths to keep us alive.. And look what we did in return.
What will happen now?

I hope you liked it! I really don't know what will happen next, since I myself don't really know what to write till I write. Stay tuned and please review!
