More Than Just Friends?

Chapter 12 -Disaster Club Date- *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ *~*~
Minako stared at Usagi who was peacefully sleeping in her bed. Minako remembered seeing her and Duo the night before but she kept it to herself. She knew Usagi would be mad. What if Duo was just being a good friend? Minako had these questions run through her head as she stared at Usagi. She knew that she would have to wake Usagi up. She smirked and got an Idea. She brought in her CD player and put in Her Avril Lavigne CD in. She turned it to 'Complicated' and put the volume on full. She then put the headphones on Usagi's ears. She immediately got a reaction.
Usagi jumped out of her bed immediately. The headphones were ripped off her ear as she was startled. She gasped for air as she looked around. She saw Minako grinning at the foot of her bead. Usagi smirked and grabbed her pillow throwing it at Minako.
The pillow hit Minako dead in the face. Minako responded and threw it back at her. Usagi put her hands in front of her and the pillow bounced off of them. "It's eleven and we are leaving in an hour" Minako stated. "OH" Usagi replied. "Ok. I'll go get ready" Usagi said. Usagi got out her bikini and some extra clothes and went into the bathroom to change. Usagi put a tight tank top and a pair of 'short' shorts over her bikini. Usagi put her hair in her usual style and walked out of the bathroom. She wasn't too keen on seeing Duo again but she knew this was already planned. Maybe it wouldn't turn out a disaster. Usagi took her keys, tossed them in the air and caught them. "Lets go" she exclaimed. Minako gave her a smirk and followed her out the door to get the rest of the girls.
Usagi stopped her car when the boys walked up to it. "We're ready" Duo announced looking at Usagi. She nodded and tried to smile back. The image of last night still hung in her head. She wished she hadn't looked at the picture. She looked down at her lap but then back up. Duo realized her reaction and also looked away. He didn't know what had overcome him last night. He should have never embraced her. Then another part of him said he should have. He wished what these feelings were. Both of them fell silent. Just then the silence was broken by Minako clearing her throat.
"Just follow us" Minako smiling weakly.
Usagi looked at the boys. They all had their suits on. Except for Duo. He had a pair of long baggy shorts on.
"Aren't you going swimming?" she asked confused.
Duo nodded. "Yeah. I don't like wearing real bathing suits." He answered.
Usagi thought it was weird but she just nodded. The boys left their side and went to their car and then both of the groups drove off.
Usagi stepped out of the car. The ride hadn't seemed too long but to the others it had. Usagi stretched and looked over to the boys. Wufei and Duo were fighting again. Usagi sighed and grabbed the towels. And went down to what was supposed to be sliding rock. Nobody else was there so they had the place to themselves. There was a long sloping rock and the river flowed down it. Now she knew why they called it sliding rock. It looked fun. They seemed to be surrounded by forests. Usagi stepped down the steps to where she stood on the top of the rock. She looked around her and closed her eyes. She took in the quietness and peacefulness. Just then she was scared by someone coming up behind her. "Boo!" Duo yelled. She jumped and turned around. She playfully slapped Duo and laughed. "Don't do that again!" she said smirking and raising a fist at him. He raised an eyebrow. Usagi laughed at his expression.
Usagi took her shorts and shirt off leaving her bikini. So did the rest of her friends. The boys took off their shirts and they all looked down. The girls looked at the boys. They all had good muscles and their appearance with their shirt off made them even more dashing to the girls. The boys also looked at them. They all wore bikinis, which helped, show a lot of skin. They all had perfect curved figures. Usagi went down to feel the water and shivered.
"It's Freezing!" she exclaimed. Duo slowly came up to her. "Too late now" he said smirking. She looked confused but then her answer was given. Duo grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the rock where they slipped and fell. Usagi tried to get out of his grip but he was too strong. She fell on him and they slid into the water that the rock led into. Their bodies plunged into the water and Usagi got out of his grasp and went up for air. She stared at him in awe. She was so surprised she didn't care how cold it was. Her mouth hung open. Duo just laughed at her. She grinned and got an idea. She took his head and pushed it under the water and held it there. She laughed the whole time. She felt him struggling in her grasp. Finally he got out of it and came up. He gasped for air and looked at her. He immediately responded and did the same thing.
Usagi tried to go above the water but was held down by his strength. Everything was a blur under the water. She struggled as hard as she could, she was running out of air. Finally Duo let go and her head went above the water. She took big breaths of fresh air. It almost seemed foreign. Air was so good now. Then she finally had the air to laugh. The others watched them as they played around happily. After a bit they both climbed back to the top and grabbed the rail at the side.
"That was fun" Usagi commented.
"Yeah" Duo added.
The rest of them looked at them in awe. Usagi looked at Duo for support. Then a grin spread on his face. Usagi knew a plan was coming.
"Who's next?" Duo asked grinning widely.
The rest of them shook their heads. They knew the water would be cold. "Fine I'll pick!" he exclaimed. He immediately went up to Heero and pushed him down. He took the slip and fell down sliding the rest of the way. They all laughed as they saw him come up from the plunge. Heero gave Duo his death glare and sat there ignoring them. Usagi got the idea and went right up to Makoto and pushed her down. She took the same fall as Heero did but she fell into Heero, which he caught her and stumbled back. Makoto blushed and got off of him. Heero was mad now! He took out his gun and pointed it at Usagi. Duo stood in front of her protectively. Fear washed over her. She wasn't worried for herself though. What about Duo? Just then Quatre spook up. "Put it down" he said to Heero. Heero gave him a death glare but put it away. Usagi sighed in relief. "Thanks" she whispered to Duo. "No problemo" he answered in his cheery voice. Usagi smiled and then stared away.
They all ended up pushing each other in. Ami pushed Trowa in but had some problems. Wufei made a remark about weak onnas and Rei got mad. She pushed him down but slipped and fell on top of them. Minako took Quatre and they both slid down the rock. Quatre caught her and stumbled but then balanced himself. Minako blushed and got out of his arms. Then at last Usagi took the chance to push Duo down. But before she could step back he grabbed her arm and she slid with him. They all laughed and had a lot of fun.
Usagi stepped into her hotel room and collapsed on the bed. She was still laughing. It had been so much fun. Minako was laughing with her. Then Usagi realized the time and went to get her clothes. She would have to take a shower, get ready and meet Derek outside in an hour.
Usagi walked out of the hotel and saw Derek waiting for her in his convertible. She was wearing her new halter - top and a pair of low cut jeans. He got out and walked up to her and kissed her quickly on the lips. Usagi could taste smoke in his mouth. He had been smoking. He wrapped his arm around her waist and they walked to the car. He kissed her quickly on the neck and then they got in. Usagi did not like how he was acting. She felt unwanted around him. She felt insecure again. She decided to talk to him. Derek started the car and they drove off. "You've been smoking haven't you?" Usagi asked. "It's none of your dang business" he retorted. "I told you not to talk like that" he added in an ugly tone. Usagi shut up. She could not wait till this was over. She also knew that she would have to dump him. This was not right. This would be their last night.
Duo watched from across the street as Usagi and Derek took off. He had a funny feeling that Usagi was going to get hurt. He didn't want her hurt. He knew something was going to happen but he didn't know what. He put on some clothes that might be suitable for a club and slowly followed them in his car. He had to protect her. He knew something was there that he felt but he couldn't explain it. He knew there had to be something he could do.
Usagi walked out of the convertible and Derek immediately wrapped his arms around her waist. Usagi could see flashing lights behind the door. She could here music boomed on loud. They walked in and Usagi saw the normal. People were dancing to the music. Most of them were couples. They were all dancing differently. Some of the dancing did not go to Usagi's interest. Girls were wearing all kinds of different outfits. Usagi knew her outfit was puny compared to the rest of the girls. There was a bar in the corner. Derek was greeted by a couple of friends by the bar. They both walked over to them. They all looked Usagi up and down. She did not like the way they were staring at her. Derek ordered a drink and talked for a while.
After a while they went to dance. Derek put his hands on her hips and they danced to the music. Usagi did not like doing this. She wanted to scream out from her emotions. She danced to the music. She moved her hips and the rest of her body. Derek stared at her. He had a weird face. Just then he leaned down and kissed her on the lips. She didn't respond as much. He pulled their bodies together. Usagi wanted to end this. She felt his tongue and pulled away.
"What the heck was that?!" he demanded.
Usagi stepped off the dance floor and sat down. He had been drinking too much. He got another drink and joined her.
"You're drunk" Usagi said.
"I can do what ever I want. What the heck is your freakin problem today?!" he demanded. Usagi felt small compared to his stare.
"I....I don't know" she answered in a squeak.
"I'm your boyfriend so why the heck are you acting this way?!" he demanded.
He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Usagi suddenly felt mad.
"That's it!" she yelled standing up angrily.
No one seemed to notice them. Usagi was fed up with Derek. This was the time to say good - bye. He stood up.
"What?!" he asked in fury.
"You heard me! We're through!" she shrieked. Usagi could feel her anger rising. For once she was standing up for herself. She felt good doing this. He stared at her for a second and then shook his head.
He pulled her into another room. She struggled in his grip but he was way too strong. What was he going to do? She stood at the other side of the room. No one else was with them. Derek found a pile of glass bottles in the corner of the room.
"You think that!" he said in an ugly tone. Now Usagi was scared. Derek was drunk and they were in a room that was closed. No one would come to save her. He picked up a bottle and threw it at her. She turned around and it shattered on her back. She screamed out in pain but her voice drowned in the loud music. She felt the glass cut in her skin. She cried from pain. Since she had a halter - top she had no protection. He threw another and it sliced her more in her back. He threw another and another. She could feel cuts all over her back. It was so painful she couldn't even feel the blood trickling down.
"Derek please stop!" she screamed. He responded by throwing another bottle. 'Help' she pleaded in her head.
Duo walked casually in the club. The music was loud but he was used to it because of the band. He walked around looking for Usagi. Once he didn't see her he started to get worried. Was she OK? He started to panic. Just then he heard a faint scream. He ran across the club and saw a door. He peeked inside and saw the most awful sight. Derek was throwing bottles at Usagi he could tell she was weak. She had blood up and down her back. He immediately opened the room and flung himself at Derek. How could treat Usagi like this.
Duo forced Derek to the ground and quickly punched him in the face. He then punched him in the stomach. Duo could see Derek bleeding in the face. He could see him with a weird face. Just then Derek got him in the face. Duo stumbled back. Derek got him again but this time in the stomach. Duo clutched his stomach in pain. He looked up and then quickly shot another punch at Derek. Derek stumbled back. Duo put all of his might into one kick, which forced Derek to the ground.
Usagi had watched the whole thing she almost stared in awe but she was too weak. Had Duo watched them the whole time? She could feel her legs give way. She started to fall but Duo caught her with his strong legs. Her back was smeared with blood and it kept coming. "I'll get you!" he heard Derek scream.
"I have to get you to the hospital" he said so she could hear. She shook her head. "I can't have mom and dad know what happened, please, no" she answered. Duo thought. She was in bad shape. Then it came to him he could heal her. He had had plenty of practice. He nodded to her and gently picked her up. Usagi groaned in pain when she felt his arm against her back. It stung too much for her to handle. She tried to stay conscious as he took her to his car.
Duo couldn't not be worried about her. His heart felt panic. He had to heal her as fast as he could. He was glad he had his equipment with him. He had been the top student at all of his doctor classes. He hoped Usagi would be OK. 'Please be OK' he silently prayed. He didn't want to lose Usagi. He looked at her as much as he could without taking his eyes off the road. This couldn't happen. He should have been there earlier for her. It was all his fault. What if he couldn't heal her? He should have taken her to the hospital. 'I'm sorry Usagi' he said to himself'.
Usagi faintly saw Duo. She had never seen him so worried. He had saved her. He knew this would happen. Did he really care that much for her? She looked at him. She was grateful that he had saved her. She could tell he was not taking her to the hospital. Then she saw his eyes water. Duo, crying? It almost made her cry when she saw him cry. Was he blaming himself for this? She couldn't let him feel that way. "Thank you" she whispered hoping he had heard it.
(I think I'll just stop it there! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. JK! I wouldn't be that cruel would I? Back to the story!)
Duo carried Usagi slowly to his bed. Heero looked at him with a surprised expression. He saw Usagi bleeding and then looked at Duo again. "Leave, now!" he demanded. For some odd reason Heero did what he was told. Heero silently walked out of the room. Duo laid Usagi on the bed back up. He grimaced when he saw all of the blood coming form her back. He had to quickly get the glass out of her back. Duo quickly went to get his equipment so he could get rid of the glass. He returned and saw Usagi silently crying. He couldn't have frowned more at what he saw. His heart stung in pain. He could feel his eyes getting glassy but he knew he had to clean Usagi up.
Duo sat up next to Usagi on the bed. He looked at her back and felt the tears again. 'Why am I crying? I have to be stronger! I'm not a girl' he thought. Duo slowly took the glass out of her back. 'God, Usagi' he thought. It was his fault, if he had been there sooner she wouldn't have been hurt. I'm so sorry, Usagi' he thought.
Usagi could only feel pain on her back. Why had she even been with Derek? Her life was now scared forever. She couldn't stop crying. She was so thankful Duo had been following her. She didn't know what to say to him. She was grateful that Duo was healing her instead of bringing her to the hospital. She could hear the almost silent movements of Duo as he slowly took out the glass shards. Why had she chosen this awful path. It was all her fault for this life and now there was way to get back.
Duo had gotten all the glass off her back. He put some liquid on her back that would help it heal faster and stop the bleeding. Now he just needed to wrap her back. He took out the bandages. "Keep your arms at your side. I need to untie just the back of your shirt so I can put the bandages on your back" he said. Usagi nodded and glued her arms to her side keeping her shirt around her. Duo untied the back of her shirt. He took out the bandages and slowly began to apply them on her back. He didn't feel good doing this to Usagi but she hadn't said anything about the bandages. He was staring at her bare back. With all the glass off and the liquid put on her back just looked pink and raw.
Duo finished the bandages and tied her shirt in the back. "Do you want to lay on your back? It will help you get rid of the pain" Duo added. He saw a slight nod of her head and he turned her on her back. He finally saw her face all the way through. It had so many emotions twisted up in it and was tear streaked. Usagi finally took a look at him. He had a bruise on his eye. Had he gotten that trying to protect her? She reached out with her hand and lightly touched his bruise. Duo jerked back when he felt pain. He hadn't even realized pain because he was caught so much in his thoughts. Usagi wanted to get up and help him for all he had done. "Thank you" she whispered gulping down the tears. She couldn't smile, it was too hard. Duo shook his head. "It was my fault, If I had been there earlier I could have stopped him from hurting you" he said breaking his gaze with her. "No it wasn't!" Usagi yelled. She started to cry even more. Everything just seemed to come out right then.
"It was my fault, I should have never dated Derek in the first place. I hadn't felt love at all. I was feeling so insecure and alone. I knew I should have broken up with him. It made my life miserable. Every time I thought of the fun I used to have it just made me worse. When I was with Derek we never did much. Him and his friends were always smoking, getting drunk or getting in trouble. I should have said no in the first place but I didn't. I'm scared for life now" she finally finished and more tears came down.'
Duo was surprised at her respond. This is why she had been crying when he had followed her to her hotel after dinner. Duo couldn't say anything. Then it just came out naturally. "You are not scared for life. You can always improve. See what life means" he said surprised at himself. His eyes locked on hers and searched them for what seemed hours. Why did he feel this way if he was just her friend? Her eyes were glazed over from tears. His face inched closer to hers as he continued to search her eyes. He unconsciously wiped the tears off her cheeks. He wished he could wash away all of her fear. Usagi could feel his soft warm breath tickling her face. Their breaths started to mingle. Just then they heard a knock on the door.
Both of them broke their glances and Duo sat up. Minako walked into the room with the most worried face Usagi had ever seen. "Oh my god!" Minako screamed. She ran up to Usagi but didn't hug her. "I can't believe what happened!" she shrieked. Usagi looked down and began to cry again. "I'll get that Derek, one day" Rei growled. Usagi wasn't sure what had happened to her and Duo the second before but his face had been so close.. Usagi started to cry more and grip her sheets. Minako looked at Usagi. She again had seen them about to kiss but she had wanted to see Usagi so badly. She wondered what they were feeling. Why were they hiding these feeling from each other? Minako just looked at them quietly. At least Duo had saved the day. One thing was for sure; the vacation was over for now.
Hey! I loved that chapter! I'm so happy I made Usa dump Derek! O well I hoped you liked this chapter! This is why my story is now rated pg-13! Ja ne! Usako, *~Usagi Princess~*

Duo nodded. "Yeah. I don't like wearing real bathing suits." He answered.
Usagi thought it was weird but she just nodded. The boys left their side and went to their car and then both of the groups drove off.
Usagi stepped out of the car. The ride hadn't seemed too long but to the others it had. Usagi stretched and looked over to the boys. Wufei and Duo were fighting again.

Usagi took her shorts and shirt off leaving her bikini. So did the rest of her friends. The boys took off their shirts and they all looked down. The girls looked at the boys.

"It's Freezing!" she exclaimed. Duo slowly came up to her. "Too late now" he said smirking. She looked confused but then her answer was given. Duo grabbed her arm and pulled her onto the rock where they slipped and fell. Usagi tried to get out of his grip but he was too strong. She fell on him and they slid into the water that the rock led into. Their bodies plunged into the water and Usagi got out of his grasp and went up for air. She stared at him in awe.

Usagi tried to go above the water but was held down by his strength. Everything was a blur under the water. She struggled as hard as she could, she was running out of air. Finally Duo let go and her head went above the water. She took big breaths of fresh air. It almost seemed foreign. Air was so good now. Then she finally had the air to laugh. The others watched them as they played around happily. After a bit they both climbed back to the top and grabbed the rail at the side.
"That was fun" Usagi commented.
"Yeah" Duo added.
The rest of them looked at them in awe. Usagi looked at Duo for support. Then a grin spread on his face. Usagi knew a plan was coming.
"Who's next?" Duo asked grinning widely.
The rest of them shook their heads. They knew the water would be cold. "Fine I'll pick!" he exclaimed. He immediately went up to Heero and pushed him down. He took the slip and fell down sliding the rest of the way. They all laughed as they saw him come up from the plunge. Heero gave Duo his death glare and sat there ignoring them. Usagi got the idea and went right up to Makoto and pushed her down. She took the same fall as Heero did but she fell into Heero, which he caught her and stumbled back. Makoto blushed and got off of him. Heero was mad now! He took out his gun and pointed it at Usagi. Duo stood in front of her protectively. Fear washed over her. She wasn't worried for herself though. What about Duo? Just then Quatre spook up. "Put it down" he said to Heero. Heero gave him a death glare but put it away. Usagi sighed in relief. "Thanks" she whispered to Duo. "No problemo" he answered in his cheery voice. Usagi smiled and then stared away.
They all ended up pushing each other in. Ami pushed Trowa in but had some problems. Wufei made a remark about weak onnas and Rei got mad. She pushed him down but slipped and fell on top of them. Minako took Quatre and they both slid down the rock. Quatre caught her and stumbled but then balanced himself. Minako blushed and got out of his arms. Then at last Usagi took the chance to push Duo down. But before she could step back he grabbed her arm and she slid with him. They all laughed and had a lot of fun.
Usagi stepped into her hotel room and collapsed on the bed. She was still laughing. It had been so much fun. Minako was laughing with her. Then Usagi realized the time and went to get her clothes. She would have to take a shower, get ready and meet Derek outside in an hour.
Usagi walked out of the hotel and saw Derek waiting for her in his convertible. She was wearing her new halter - top and a pair of low cut jeans. He got out and walked up to her and kissed her quickly on the lips. Usagi could taste smoke in his mouth. He had been smoking. He wrapped his arm around her waist and they walked to the car. He kissed her quickly on the neck and then they got in. Usagi did not like how he was acting. She felt unwanted around him. She felt insecure again. She decided to talk to him. Derek started the car and they drove off. "You've been smoking haven't you?" Usagi asked. "It's none of your dang business" he retorted. "I told you not to talk like that" he added in an ugly tone. Usagi shut up. She could not wait till this was over. She also knew that she would have to dump him. This was not right. This would be their last night.
Duo watched from across the street as Usagi and Derek took off. He had a funny feeling that Usagi was going to get hurt. He didn't want her hurt. He knew something was going to happen but he didn't know what. He put on some clothes that might be suitable for a club and slowly followed them in his car. He had to protect her.

He pulled their bodies together. Usagi wanted to end this. She felt his tongue and pulled away.
"What the heck was that?!" he demanded.
Usagi stepped off the dance floor and sat down. He had been drinking too much. He got another drink and joined her.
"You're drunk" Usagi said.
"I can do what ever I want. What the heck is your freakin problem today?!" he demanded. Usagi felt small compared to his stare.
"I....I don't know" she answered in a squeak.
"I'm your boyfriend so why the heck are you acting this way?!" he demanded.
He pulled out a cigarette and lit it. Usagi suddenly felt mad.
"That's it!" she yelled standing up angrily.
No one seemed to notice them. Usagi was fed up with Derek. This was the time to say good - bye. He stood up.
"What?!" he asked in fury.
"You heard me! We're through!" she shrieked. Usagi could feel her anger rising. For once she was standing up for herself. She felt good doing this. He stared at her for a second and then shook his head.
He pulled her into another room. She struggled in his grip but he was way too strong. What was he going to do? She stood at the other side of the room. No one else was with them. Derek found a pile of glass bottles in the corner of the room.
"You think that!" he said in an ugly tone. Now Usagi was scared. Derek was drunk and they were in a room that was closed. No one would come to save her. He picked up a bottle and threw it at her. She turned around and it shattered on her back. She screamed out in pain but her voice drowned in the loud music. She felt the glass cut in her skin. She cried from pain. Since she had a halter - top she had no protection. He threw another and it sliced her more in her back. He threw another and another. She could feel cuts all over her back. It was so painful she couldn't even feel the blood trickling down.
"Derek please stop!" she screamed. He responded by throwing another bottle. 'Help' she pleaded in her head.
Duo walked casually in the club. The music was loud but he was used to it because of the band. He walked around looking for Usagi. Once he didn't see her he started to get worried. Was she OK? He started to panic. Just then he heard a faint scream. He ran across the club and saw a door. He peeked inside and saw the most awful sight. Derek was throwing bottles at Usagi he could tell she was weak. She had blood up and down her back. He immediately opened the room and flung himself at Derek. How could treat Usagi like this.
Duo forced Derek to the ground and quickly punched him in the face. He then punched him in the stomach. Duo could see Derek bleeding in the face. He could see him with a weird face. Just then Derek got him in the face. Duo stumbled back. Derek got him again but this time in the stomach. Duo clutched his stomach in pain. He looked up and then quickly shot another punch at Derek. Derek stumbled back. Duo put all of his might into one kick, which forced Derek to the ground.
Usagi had watched the whole thing she almost stared in awe but she was too weak. Had Duo watched them the whole time? She could feel her legs give way. She started to fall but Duo caught her with his strong legs. Her back was smeared with blood and it kept coming. "I'll get you!" he heard Derek scream.
"I have to get you to the hospital" he said so she could hear. She shook her head. "I can't have mom and dad know what happened, please, no" she answered. Duo thought. She was in bad shape. Then it came to him he could heal her. He had had plenty of practice. He nodded to her and gently picked her up. Usagi groaned in pain when she felt his arm against her back. It stung too much for her to handle. She tried to stay conscious as he took her to his car.
Duo couldn't not be worried about her. His heart felt panic. He had to heal her as fast as he could. He was glad he had his equipment with him. He had been the top student at all of his doctor classes. He hoped Usagi would be OK. 'Please be OK' he silently prayed. He didn't want to lose Usagi. He looked at her as much as he could without taking his eyes off the road. This couldn't happen. He should have been there earlier for her. It was all his fault. What if he couldn't heal her? He should have taken her to the hospital. 'I'm sorry Usagi' he said to himself'.
Usagi faintly saw Duo. She had never seen him so worried. He had saved her. He knew this would happen. Did he really care that much for her? She looked at him. She was grateful that he had saved her. She could tell he was not taking her to the hospital. Then she saw his eyes water. Duo, crying? It almost made her cry when she saw him cry. Was he blaming himself for this? She couldn't let him feel that way. "Thank you" she whispered hoping he had heard it.
(I think I'll just stop it there! Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. JK! I wouldn't be that cruel would I? Back to the story!)
Duo carried Usagi slowly to his bed. Heero looked at him with a surprised expression. He saw Usagi bleeding and then looked at Duo again. "Leave, now!" he demanded. For some odd reason Heero did what he was told. Heero silently walked out of the room. Duo laid Usagi on the bed back up. He grimaced when he saw all of the blood coming form her back. He had to quickly get the glass out of her back. Duo quickly went to get his equipment so he could get rid of the glass. He returned and saw Usagi silently crying. He couldn't have frowned more at what he saw. His heart stung in pain. He could feel his eyes getting glassy but he knew he had to clean Usagi up.
Duo sat up next to Usagi on the bed. He looked at her back and felt the tears again. 'Why am I crying? I have to be stronger! I'm not a girl' he thought. Duo slowly took the glass out of her back. 'God, Usagi' he thought. It was his fault, if he had been there sooner she wouldn't have been hurt. I'm so sorry, Usagi' he thought.
Usagi could only feel pain on her back. Why had she even been with Derek? Her life was now scared forever. She couldn't stop crying. She was so thankful Duo had been following her. She didn't know what to say to him. She was grateful that Duo was healing her instead of bringing her to the hospital. She could hear the almost silent movements of Duo as he slowly took out the glass shards. Why had she chosen this awful path. It was all her fault for this life and now there was way to get back.
Duo had gotten all the glass off her back. He put some liquid on her back that would help it heal faster and stop the bleeding. Now he just needed to wrap her back. He took out the bandages. "Keep your arms at your side. I need to untie just the back of your shirt so I can put the bandages on your back" he said. Usagi nodded and glued her arms to her side keeping her shirt around her. Duo untied the back of her shirt. He took out the bandages and slowly began to apply them on her back. He didn't feel good doing this to Usagi but she hadn't said anything about the bandages. He was staring at her bare back. With all the glass off and the liquid put on her back just looked pink and raw.
Duo finished the bandages and tied her shirt in the back. "Do you want to lay on your back? It will help you get rid of the pain" Duo added. He saw a slight nod of her head and he turned her on her back. He finally saw her face all the way through. It had so many emotions twisted up in it and was tear streaked. Usagi finally took a look at him. He had a bruise on his eye. Had he gotten that trying to protect her? She reached out with her hand and lightly touched his bruise. Duo jerked back when he felt pain. He hadn't even realized pain because he was caught so much in his thoughts. Usagi wanted to get up and help him for all he had done. "Thank you" she whispered gulping down the tears. She couldn't smile, it was too hard. Duo shook his head. "It was my fault, If I had been there earlier I could have stopped him from hurting you" he said breaking his gaze with her. "No it wasn't!" Usagi yelled. She started to cry even more. Everything just seemed to come out right then.
"It was my fault, I should have never dated Derek in the first place. I hadn't felt love at all. I was feeling so insecure and alone. I knew I should have broken up with him. It made my life miserable. Every time I thought of the fun I used to have it just made me worse. When I was with Derek we never did much. Him and his friends were always smoking, getting drunk or getting in trouble. I should have said no in the first place but I didn't. I'm scared for life now" she finally finished and more tears came down.'
Duo was surprised at her respond. This is why she had been crying when he had followed her to her hotel after dinner. Duo couldn't say anything. Then it just came out naturally. "You are not scared for life. You can always improve. See what life means" he said surprised at himself. His eyes locked on hers and searched them for what seemed hours. Why did he feel this way if he was just her friend? Her eyes were glazed over from tears. His face inched closer to hers as he continued to search her eyes. He unconsciously wiped the tears off her cheeks. He wished he could wash away all of her fear. Usagi could feel his soft warm breath tickling her face. Their breaths started to mingle. Just then they heard a knock on the door.
Both of them broke their glances and Duo sat up. Minako walked into the room with the most worried face Usagi had ever seen. "Oh my god!" Minako screamed. She ran up to Usagi but didn't hug her. "I can't believe what happened!" she shrieked. Usagi looked down and began to cry again. "I'll get that Derek, one day" Rei growled. Usagi wasn't sure what had happened to her and Duo the second before but his face had been so close.. Usagi started to cry more and grip her sheets. Minako looked at Usagi. She again had seen them about to kiss but she had wanted to see Usagi so badly. She wondered what they were feeling. Why were they hiding these feeling from each other? Minako just looked at them quietly. At least Duo had saved the day. One thing was for sure; the vacation was over for now.
