I do not own Gundam Wing or its characters. They belong to their appropriate owners.
It contains yaoi, lemons (rape scenes), blood, violence, strong language and more, may be a bit AU. Duo's POV (at least most the time).
A/N: This fic hasn't ended so far and isn't ending any time soon, since I have chapters up to 17 prewritten and that's still not all.
It's mostly to you, Hellcat ! As for the poem at the end of the previous chapter, yeah, it is in Polish. It suits the mood quite well and I would want to translate it, really, but I'm not that good at translating poetic things (not that I've tried, but I think so), and beside that it's just a part of something way bigger. Anyway, it's about a firefly that was once proud of his light, but seeing his brothers die because of it, being eaten by reptiles, gets to know it will be a cause of his death as well and wants the light to stop shining, but that's impossible, of course. The last words, that repeat twice, mean `As long as I live these sparkles won't go out.` Also, that's only small part of a very long Romantic poem about a man who has gone crazy from unfulfilled love and died from it and his ghost is wandering around missing her and stuff. This firefly was supposed to talk with the hero, and the second time those last words are repeated it is by him (I mean the hero), in the meaning that he won't ever stop loving the woman he loves even if he would wanted to (it is said later so it's more than just my interpretation). So, it suits this fic really well. However, I wasn't inspired by that poem, only when I was reading it I discovered how it's talking about similar things with that fanfic. And well, I'm not that exactly French, I live in Poland and go to school here.
Give me an award for writing the longest author note in the history of fanfic writing.

Part IX
Trowa's POV:
I was standing next to the door to the room Duo was in, with my back against the wall. I wondered what they were doing to him, what kind of preparation to interrogation he was put under. They could do many things, he was completely helpless lying there, so weak and tied down to the bed. I should have been there with him now, inside... But I had missed the moment when they had come. Damn...
The door opened and an young woman stepped out, alone. She was wearing white overall over regular Preventer's uniform. She looked everything, but dangerous. But, if she really would have been she wouldn't have been wearing that uniform. She stopped in front of me and smiled.
" Trowa Barton, I suppose ?"
I nodded.
" Loraine Disuit."
Her gloved hand shook mine before she continued with sweet smile still present on her face.
" I need to ask you if you're going to let us interrogate you now, however I think you wouldn't oppose."
" What about Duo ?"
" He needs more time to get prepared anyway. Follow me. " She said not waiting for a reply and began walking down the corridor anyway.
I looked at the door to Duo's room before following her. She stopped at the door at the end of the corridor and stepped closer to me, lowering her voice.
" I suppose that's not that hard to realize that whole this matter is kind of... delicate for us. We have already asked for secrecy about the way Chang Wufei died, but now I need to ask for more. The man that's going to interrogate you, Preventer's lieutenant, is a Special. There are various reasons for his identity to stay hidden. So... We would be pleased if you wouldn't be telling too many persons about your... meeting here."
From whole that long diplomatic speech I had gotten to know they were going to get rid of me in case I wouldn't be silent enough. I wondered if they ever knew how hard it could have been for them to hunt me down. But they wouldn't need to, I wasn't one to talk much anyway, especially about someone's secrets.
She smiled warmly then and motioned for me to come in, so I pushed the door open and slipped inside.
I was in an office, study or maybe internship, anyway, there was no bed, but a desk and a couch. The other person in the room was sitting in a chair over the desk, turned away from me. Ironic smirk played at the edge of my mouth at the thought of being interrogated by someone sitting with his back to me. It was so much like in a cheap criminal.
I coughed to get the person's attention and the chair moved slightly, a hand holding a cigarette appearing for a while. Then the chair finally turned and I faced...
My subconsciousness recognized him faster than my conscious mind, my hands clenching into fists, knuckles turning white as I was taking deep, even breaths assuring myself it simply couldn't be him. But there he was, quite short, young man, with unruly brown hair, slipping over dark blue eyes with intense maniacal expression deep inside them, dressed in khaki uniform soiled with some kind of oil, playing with his cigarette. Heero Yuy, indeed.
I was ready to snap his neck in half that instant for what he had done to Duo. But it was him that had a gun with himself.
He was looking at me thoughtfully for a long while before throwing the cigarette away and reaching for a pile of papers lying on the table.
I sat down in a chair on the opposite side of the desk sure enough he wasn't going to ask me to sit down himself. He produced a pen out of one of the pockets of his uniform and stared at the papers for a while before filling the first blank with my name, going on with things like age and nationality. Then he came back to the blank with the name and looked up at me for the first time.
" You still use that ?"
I nodded. How could he have been alive and working as a Preventer if just a few days ago Duo had found in Preventer's archives an information about his death six years ago ? And even if was, why had they sent here him, of all people ? It was a bad choice, both for them and for him, because I was going to kill the bastard.
He filled another few blanks stopping at one with a heading `Relationship with the victim`. I bet Duo was considered `the victim`.
" So ?" He asked noticing me staring.
" We're lovers."
I didn't quite mean, but it sounded like a challenge. His eyes flickered from the papers to my face, his brows drawing together.
" You aren't doing him any good with this, Barton. It would be better for him to be considered straight."
" You've given him truth's serum, isn't it ? He'll tell you just that himself. And beside that, you're not the one here that should worry about him. Or that has a law to worry about him." I spit the words through the clenched teeth. What was he playing at ? Getting me to lie to discredit me as a witness ?
" Right." He said filling the blank according to what I had said.
We went then through what had happened that night, what I had heard and seen, ending by comparing my deposition with the one they had gotten from Quatre few weeks earlier.
Then he gathered all those papers, stood up and headed to the exit, motioning for me to follow. Not so soon.
I closed the distance between us, grabbing the collar of his shirt, taking him up to my eye level, his eyes widening for a moment but quickly narrowing back.
" Listen, Yuy, is astonishes me you're even still alive, but not for long, I know what you've done to Duo, and you're going to pay for that, you bastard. I'll kill you." I hissed in his face savoring look of veritable dread that flashed in his eyes for the shortest while. So, he was capable of experiencing fear, after all.
I threw him down, crushing on the wall. His hand was half-way to the holster, but he let me go, only a hoarse whisper following me.
" If anything, I'm going to kill you."
