Title: Watch me Shine Version: Beta Author: PiNkSpiDeR Notes: Thank you for your time, my beautiful beta readers!!!!

A/N: Okay. I am getting more encouraged by my lovely reveiwers. Thanks a lot! Also, just a little fore note, I am not be producing as much as usual. Junior College has started, and I had joined 3 CCA, lion dancing cum Wu Shu, badminton and Visual Arts. And so. I am sure many of you ( or whoever who reads this part of the fic) will know by now that I'll not be able to write as soon as possible. Junior College is very different from Secondary school, and nowadays, I only reach home at around 7-8pm in the evening, and I still have my tutorials and assignments to do. Though my chapters are short, they still require time and inspiration to write. At this current rate, I think I'll be dreaming of formulas instead of the possible next chapter of the story. Sorry. Really.



Arc II



[chapter 1]





His head hurt. It hurt so much that it felt like it had split into two. He tried to make the ache go away, raising his weak arms to cradle his throbbing head. A burning sensation shot up from his chest to his limbs, then to every other part of his body, making his senses reel from the overloading feeling called pain. Following his instinct, Duo let his arms fall back to their original position, letting out a muffled whimper from his dry throat as the weight landed heavily onto something soft.

He heard scuffles of footsteps, messy cries of soft warning and the clinking of metal. Then something soft and wet was pressed against his forehead, another pair of hands groping about his chest. Someone titled his face and tipped a glass of water down his throat. Cool hands, gently caressing his face as a soft voice whispered comfort into his ears.

"You will be fine. You have to rest to be healed. Duo."

Duo? The word was so familiar; why was it so familiar?

Duo! Duo! You have to-

What? What did he have to do? The voice, it sounded so panicked, muffled even, strangely out of tune. Who was it? Why. were his thoughts getting fuzz-?

"Sleep."

And Duo did.
