O.O I just heard my sister scream in the other room.she's playing darts with my brother and father...hope she's not after being stabbed or anything...

Passion's Slave

The other riders dismounted and they led the horses in through the gates. The castle stood atop a large hill and there was a huge town spread out around it. The buildings looked primitive, almost medieval. The horses were led through the streets towards the castle and occasionally people would stop and bow to the soldiers. Duo looked around himself worriedly. A lump gathered in his throat and a whisper of disbelief escaped. Gabriel glanced up at the girl. She had paled considerably. She clenched the saddle so tightly her knuckles turned white.

"Miss...are you alright?" Gabriel said softly. She jumped startled and looked down at him.

"Wha...what did you say?" She asked.

"I asked if you were alright?" Duo nodded considering the question carefully.

"I...I'm fine..." Gabriel raised an eyebrow doubtfully.

"If you say so miss..."

"Another thing Gabriel" Duo said, "Stop calling me miss...I'm not a girl!" Gabriel's eyes widened



"Could've fooled me" he narrowed his eyes disbelieving "You're awfully pretty for a boy and your hair is..."

"Is just fine the way it is" Duo finished for him. They finally reached the castle and Duo was helped off the horse. He grumbled irritably.

"This looks a lot easier in the movies"

"The what?!" Duo looked at him in horror.

"N...no...movies..." he mumbled "Oh man this sooo sucks!!" he whined.

"What's going on now?" Lucas asked. Gabriel just shook his head and sighed.

"I have no idea..." he grinned "Oh and Lucas, she's a he" Lucas' mouth dropped open and he stared.

"You're kidding!" he gaped at Duo. Duo flashed him a cheeky grin when he noticed them watching him. He looked up at the castle in awe.this was so much better than Relena's stuffy excuse for a castle! His main problem was, of course, where he was. He tapped his chin thoughtfully.

"I'm thinking...alternate dimension," he said aloud in Japanese getting him some strange looks. He was so used of using Heero's native language around the other boy. Suddenly he felt overwhelmed with sadness as he wondered if he'd ever see his lover again.



He angrily blinked away rebel tears.boy's don't cry he berated himself mentally. He was so deep in thought that he never noticed Gabriel walking up to him. Gabriel laid a hand on his shoulder. His reflexes as a Gundam pilot kicked in and without thinking he caught Gabriel's hand and flipped him over his shoulder.

"Oh God!! Are you okay?" Duo gasped rushing to his side "You shouldn't startle me like that, I could've killed you!!" Duo looked him over anxiously "Did I hurt you? I'm so sorry" Gabriel smiled and sat up slowly.

"I'm fine, nothing injured except my pride" he grunted "Where did you learn to do that? I'm twice your size!" Duo smiled relieved he hadn't hurt the man. He offered a hand and helped him up.

"It's all about leverage not brute strength!" Duo stated. The others stared in shock "What did you want anyway?" Duo asked.

"I'm afraid the prince can't see you right away so you're gonna have to stay in a cell until then..." Duo nodded.

"Well lead on Gabs! Could I get some bandages and some water?" he asked.

"I'll see what I can do" Gabriel answered. "And don't call me Gabs!" Duo slapped him playfully on the back.

"Whatever you say Gabs!" Gabriel sighed in exasperation.



Duo sat in the cell. He'd been there a couple of hours now and a servant had only just brought him the water and bandages. He had found his mini first aid kit in the wreckage of his Gundam and was after bandaging the cut on his forehead. He was just after taking off his T-shirt and was pulling more of the shrapnel from his arm when the door swung open.

"His majesty will see you now" the guard announced.

"Yeah, just let me get my..." Duo began.

"You are to go straight up!" Duo was led out of the room and was aware of the blood running down his bare arm from the punctures in his skin. As he walked between the guards he continued to pluck the bits of metal and glass from his arm. He wished the guards had let him put on his T-shirt before he had left the cell. Large purple bruised covered his ribs and abdomen and blood ran down his arm. He still had a limp.

"Damn OZ soldiers" he muttered under his breath "Just wait'll I get my hands on them! I am sooo gonna whoop their asses!" The guards looked at him curiously.
