YAY!! okay, last chapter it said it took Serei three years to gor through
med school, she's not normal and three years was plenty of time for someone
of her intelligence and standing to go through med school.
Disclaimer: I don't own GW and Serei is Ryoko-Onee's. Sorry Ryoko-Onee, I haven't said that for awhile but I've been meaning too! Serei is hers only! (I'm borrowing her ^^*)
Hey, did anyone want to know the game? It's not that big of deal but it was Monkey Island 3. I was playing it earlier so it came to me when i was looking for inspiration . . .

"ahem . . ."
Serei sighed deeply, this was not happening the way she had planned. Kari was sleeping on the floor, leaned up against the wall and even sleeping she still looked worried. And why shouldn't she be, if Serei couldn't cure the braided young pilot, whose name had still not been revealed to them, then they were dead. The virus she had put in the young man was created by her and the cure she had, only worked under certain conditions. When the boy had left she thought he would return soon, but he his stamina and pain tolerance must be incredible. That''s why they had to look for him, and now it could be too late.
"Gaarrgh!" Serei said in frustration, Kari opened her eyes and stood.
"Any luck yet?"
"No and I'm afraid if I don't find one soon we'll run out of time," Serei growled in frustration once more. Both girls jumped when the door opened and a soft, chill voice was heard.
"Maybe you should return to the virus for your answers." Serei looked at him, this boy hardly ever spoke except to readminister his death threats, though he spent an awful lot of time on his laptop right here next to the ill boy.
Serei opened her mouth to argue but stopped as she thought it through. "Can I borrow your laptop?" Heero nodded solemnly, and in his eyes was an unspoken threat that Serei acknowledged with a nod. She sat down at the computer, which was plugged in at the desk by the bed, she quickly dragged up her files on the virus and set to work . . .
Heero watched her passively for a moment, then turned and looked at Duo. He hadn't woken for a while and probably needed some food, Heero gave one last glare at the 'med' student and took off downstairs. Trowa was in the kitchen along with Wufei. Quatre was sleeping, having spent most of the last two days with Duo. Heero silently made some chicken noodle soup, while Wufei read a book, and Trowa did some long overdue dishes. The house wasn't usually wasn't this quiet but without Duo bouncing around their just wasn't the same spirit in the house. The soup began to bubble and Heero judged it finished. Pouring some of it in a bowl, he left the rest for the others.
Serei looked up in approval as Heero entered with the soup. He shook Duo awake, Duo looked at the soup and at Heero assessing both of them. He found Heero to be the better option, and to Heero's great surprise, sat up and kissed him gingerly on the lips. Heero pulled back in shock and Serei and Kari's mouth's dropped in shock. Duo assumed a sulky expression and sat against the headboard, arms crossed and eyes narrowed.
"Hmph, even my dreams don't go right," Heero felt his insides begin to shake and mustering as much control as he could, he set the soup down and left the room, silently.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero ran his fingers idly through his hair. He wanted his laptop back, but decided that Duo was worth the unrest he was feeling without it. Of course Duo was also the cause of the unrest. The feelings that had coursed through him when Duo had kissed him were incredible to say the least. He had felt so alive, so real, so human. That was the first and only time he had. Perhaps for Duo, he could risk that weakness, that cracking of the perfect soldier's shell. Of course if Duo didn't make it through this he would once more be the lonely shell of a perfect killing machine. No distractions, no one to worry about, but that's all he'd be. A shell.
Heero thought back on the torture he had put himself through when he had believed he had killed Duo. He couldn't be without him, and he wasn't going to have to be. He would find a way to heal him, even if that fool if a girl couldn't. He stood resolutely, determined to find out what he could immediately. He walked down the hall and was so determined on his course that he ran right into Kari. He glared at her, but she paid it no mind.
"I need to get all of you, Serei needs to talk to you," Her face was grim and determined. There was a bleak look in her eyes and Heero didn't like it.
"Fine go get the others, I'll meet you in there," Kari bustled off and Heero went to Duo's room to interrogate the doctor.
~*~*~*~*~*~
Trowa leaned over his blond comrade, sleeping peacefully in bed. He was loathe to awake him but Kari had said it was urgent. Sighing, Trowa gently nudged Quatre, the blond pilot rolled over with a sigh.
"Quatre you need to wake up," Trowa chided gently. Quatre's eyes fluttered open and his sky blue ones sought out the emerald of his disturber. Perhaps it was Quatre's imagination, but he could have swore there was something in those forest green eyes for a brief moment. What it was, he couldn't say, but it gave him a pleasant shiver up his spine.
"What's the matter?" Quatre asked his words slurring together and his normally tenor voice was an octave lower due to sleep.
"Kari and Serei want us upstairs now. They say it's urgent or else I wouldn't have awaken you," Quatre stood up during Trowa's explanation and had already begun to the stairs. Next to Heero, Quatre was probably the closest to Duo. Definitely Quatre was the most open with him. No one seemed to be as willing to listen as Duo, or if they were it was harder to open up to them. Except Trowa, if Trowa would have listened, Quatre would pour out his heart for him. But right now he needed to worry about Duo, and not his obsession with the tall teen at his side.
Wufei was the last of the pilots to arrive, followed closely by Kari who shut the door solemnly behind them. Serei was still on the computer but she looked up when Kari shut the door. Serei paused to save something on the laptop and then turned and stood.
"I think I found a way to stop the virus I injected . . ." Her voice wasn't confident and there was no sign of relief on her face. For some reason that didn't encourage the pilots any more.
"And?" Wufei prompted, growing impatient with the growing silence. Serei looked almost startled and then continued.
"It's a new strain of the original virus, it actually counteracts the original and they should destroy each other," Serei took a shuddering breath. "Unfortunately, there isn't very much time. If I wait and can't find another cure, his body may be too weak to fight off the effects of the second virus and I assure you it will get worse before it gets better. If we administer it now, and the virus doesn't react as planned then his body will shut down. It's really your choice." All the boys stared at her, rather unsure what to do. With a pointed glance at all of them Heero walked into the hall, closely followed by the rest.
For a moment there was a brooding silence as they all considered the options. Finally Quatre spoke, "Heero, I really think it's your choice at this point," Trowa and Wufei nodded in agreement. Heero nodded his head slightly acknowledging the responsibility.
'If only there was more time! I could research the virus myself and come up with a more suitable solution.' Heero shook his head, betraying some of his inner conflict, 'The fact is there is no time, you have to make a choice and Duo's life depends in your decision.' Heero knew what he had to do and he walked stonily back into the room, to announce his decision.
