Duo backed against the wall.

"Awww...the little brat wants to fight!" said one of the men with guns. Duo was
scared, but he sure as hell wasn't going to let these guys know that.

"ok kid, we'll do this the hard way" said the man with the knife, laughing bitterly.
He walked forward, reaching for the bread, but suddenly was thrown back into a nearby wall.

Duo looked up, wide-eyed, at....Solo? Solo! He was going to save him! and he would be
ok! Then they could enjoy there meal in peace. But Duo didn't know hoe wrong he was.

Solo turned his head around and looked down at Duo. "Duo, I want you to get out of here.
Now! Run!!" He said, dodging a bullet and hitting the man who had just shot at him, clearing the
way for Duo to run. Duo Ran, then turned around to see Solo Blocking the two men so that they
couldn't hurt Duo. The Next part happened in slow motion.

Solo turned, yelling at Duo. "DUO! RUN!!!!" He said, as one of the men Shot.
The Bullet hit solo in the chest knocking him back and falling down. He looked at Duo.
He managed to get out the word "run..." before he the bullet killed him.

Duo stared wide-eyed at Solo. He then turned on his heel, dropping the bread,
and ran with all his might.

~end flashback~

Duo didn't notice that he was crying until he felt Sister Helen's hand rest gently on
his shoulder.

'Dammit' He thought. 'I'm crying again, orphans DON'T CRY DUO!! Get a grip!'

He Stubbornly wiped the tears from his eyes roughly, then got up from the table.

"Duo, where are you going? " asked Sister Helen, worried.

Duo didn't know. He just started running. He came to a stairway, on the other side of
the church, and...with no one in sight, Sat under it and started crying.

"Solo, why'd you hafta go and die? I wouldn't be in this place if you hadn't. Dammit Solo!
Why'd you have to die?" He sobbed to himself.

"People don't die because they want to, they just...do." A soft voice said.

"yea, if people only died when they wanted to, there would be a lot more people
here, and most of them would be bad." Said another quiet, stoic sounding voice.

Duo looked up, only to see Heero and Hilde standing there. He looked at them,
thought a minute, and realized that they were right.

It wasn't a good thing that Solo had died, but maybe it wasn't a bad thing that he had
come to this place either....was it?
