Ok people listen up. I've decided to try something new. I've decided to try to write a fic with one of the other pairings. I'm going 2x3. The first part of this fic was actually a dream. You know the kind. Alarm goes off so you hit the snooze/sleep, and every once and a while you're rewarded with a dream. I HATE alarms. Anyway that's how this whole mess got started. I really hope you like it. I'm dedicating this fic to Hiro Yui. The writer formally known as Duo666, Solo666, Dark Prince Vegeta, and a few other names I can't remember right now. Oh yeah be sure to check out our co-fics. They are/will be posted under the Penname 'Golden Pharaoh and White Thief'. Enjoy 'em.

P.s R/R or I might think you guys don't love me anymore. =_= This has been tweaked and properly formatted.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Duo groggily raised his aching head ignoring the blood that slowly trickled down right cheek. It oozed slowly from the roughly one inch gash in his temple. He slowly shook his head. The last thing he could remember was Trowa running downing the main hallway. He had knocked a very startled Duo into a side hallway as something exploded. He remembered watching Trowa get blown down the main hallway before being hit. Duo slowly got to feet. It toke him a few minuets to be able to stand without falling. Duo glared at his ragged clothes. His large sliver crucifix hung loosely from his shredded collar.

He slowly began walk down the hallway. "Hey Trowa?" Duo crocked as he began to short threw the rubble. It toke him several minuets to find Trowa's crumpled body. The memory of Sisters Helen's last moments flashed in his mind. He knelt down and carefully turned Trowa over. "Oh Trowa." Duo whispered sadly as he carefully toke Trowa into his arms. Trowa opened his eyes.

"Duo?" He asked weakly.

"TROWA!" Duo shouted happily. Trowa smiled weakly up at him.

" You ok?" Duo nodded as he smiled back. "Good." Trowa whispered as he closed his eyes.

"Oh No You Don't." Duo screamed as he franticly shook Trowa. "Don't you dare die on me. Not Like This. Damn you TROWA!" Trowa shuddered once then was still. " no No NO NOOOOOooooo......" Duo wailed as he started to cry. "I won't let you do this to me." Duo gently laid Trowa down.

Duo leaned forward and breathed into Trowa's mouth. "One. Two Three Four Five." Duo counted as he pressed down on Trowa's still chest. Duo breathed again. "Damn you. Open your eyes." Duo ordered as he pressed down again. He breathed. "I'm warning you Barton." Duo growled before breathing again. "Please." Duo begged as he began to cry even harder. He froze when Trowa suddenly inhaled and just watched as Trowa began coughing. Duo gently helped Trowa sit up. Trowa had a nasty gash on the back of his head, and quite a few gashes on his back. Trowa leaned against him as he recovered.

Trowa finally looked up at Duo tear streaked face. "Thank you." Trowa's normally clam voice sounded harsh. Duo smiled.

" I couldn't let die like that." Duo noticed part of a gold chain had come lose from Trowa's collar. "See when I was young when I watched someone very dear to me die in a pile of rubble. I.just...couldn't lose anyone like that again" Trowa gave him a sympathetic look. Duo smiled in thanks. " Do you think the others are ok?" Trowa shrugged. Duo reached forward and pulled Trowa's lose sleeve off. "Let's patch up that empty case you call a head." He pulled out his knife and quickly cut the sleeve into a usable strip. "Hold still ok." Duo folded the left over sleeve into pad. He carefully placed the strip over the gash. He winced as Trowa hissed. "Sorry." He handed Trowa the strip. " Can you tie it for me?" Trowa pulled his bangs back as he tightly tied the strip over the wad Duo was holding in place.

"Did you hurt anything besides your head?" Trowa asked.

"I don't think so." He pointed to the gash. "I'd of gotten a lot worst if you hadn't of knocked me out of the main hallway." Trowa gave him a weak smile. Duo looked at the rubble." I think we've done good."

"Oh, how's that?" Trowa asked brain still not wake enough to fallow.

"Well, they're all dead and we aren't." Trowa frowned but didn't turn to look at him. "So, now what?" Duo asked as he leaned against a chunk of wall.

"That's the question of the day isn't it?" Trowa asked absently.

***************************************************************************

Quatre turned his head to see behind him as he ran. He screamed as melted chunk of the roof landed a foot to his right. He didn't stop running until he reached the stolen army jeep. Heero was wrapping his upper right arm as Quatre climbed in the back with him. "Can we never do that again?" Quatre joked shakily as he sat down. Wufei turned from the driver's seat to look at him. " Have Trowa and Duo checked in yet?" Quatre asked hopefully.

"Not yet." Wufei answered. Heero looked up surprised. "The Island's main hanger and compounds have been 95% destroyed. Remaining hangers inoperative." Wufei said reporting on the other's mission. Heero nodded.

"Ok Wufei let's head back to base." Quatre pulled out his long thin gold cross. It was the twin of the one Trowa now wore. He had a terrible feeling. He stared at the cross only to let it go when it turn blood red and very cold. Heero looked at him confused. Quatre watched Heero close his eyes as he began chanting. He would chat every pray he knew until the others returned home safe and sound.

***************************************************************************

Duo started at Trowa who was just sitting there. ~ Hopefully he has a plan because I sure as hell don't. ~ Duo got up and quietly walked up behind Trowa. He put a hand on the other's shoulder. He screamed, In surprise, as he was flung back. He screamed again when a strong grip grabbed the collar of his shirts. "Damn it Tro!" Duo grumbled as he turned to look at the splinter of wood that had nearly impaled him. With out a word Trowa pulled Duo to his feet. Duo looked up at him a look of annoyance on his face.

" Sorry about that."

"You're as bad as Heero." Duo pouted. Trowa just stared at him. Duo blinked as it, Finally, dawned on him that Trowa's normal uni-bang was tied back. It was wired seeing both of his eyes. Trowa turned his head away. Duo gently grabbed his arm as he started to walk off. Trowa stopped and stared at him. " Hey no need to run off you big lug." Duo gave him a reassuring smile.

"I wasn't running." Duo released his arm. Trowa turned away from him. Duo stared at the bright red blood that flowed freely from some of the reopened gashes. "What?"

"Hun?" Duo asked confused.

" Why are you staring at me?"

"You're bleeding again."

"Yeah." Trowa commented unconcerned.

" Do they hurt?"

"I'll live." Duo turned Trowa around to face him.

"You are not Heero. You don't have to be a super human Tro." Duo wrapped an arm around Trowa. He gentle whipped his finger along one of the gashes and watched as Trowa clenched his teeth. "Don't torture yourself for my sake. I'm not Cat. I'm used to blood." Trowa nodded. Duo noticed a change in those glowing green eyes as he stepped away. He was confused yet relived by it. He stared up at the darkening sky as he leaned against a hunk of the wall. Trowa laid down on his stomach about 2 feet to his right allowing some of his fatigue to show..

" Hey Tro?"

"Yes Duo?"

"Do you think the others will come looking for us?"

" Knowing Quatre of course." Duo watched Trowa as he closed his eyes. He just couldn't help thinking about how much Trowa reminded him of Heero. He knew he loved Heero, he also knew that Relena girl seemed to have some sort of claim on him. He knew Quatre and Trowa were close, but not that close. He gazed over at the sleeping Trowa. ~ He looks so vulnerable when he's asleep. Just like a child. ~ Duo removed his semi tattered black jacket. He gently laid it over Trowa's shredded turtleneck. Trowa stirred but didn't awaken. Duo sat back down. He closed his eyes before letting his mind drift into darkness.

***************************************************************************

" He loved you very much."

"NOOOOOoooo..." Duo screamed as he sat up. Trowa lifted his head, green eyes fierce and shining. "Sorry only a dream." Trowa looked down at the tattered jacket, then up at Duo, confused. Duo blushed slightly. "I didn't want your back to freeze."

" Oh..Thank you Duo."

"Well it would have done a lot of good to save you once only to let you freeze to death." Duo shrugged. He noticed the flash of gold in the pale moonlight as Trowa shook his head. "Hey Tro what's that?" Trowa pulled the golden cross out from inside his shirt.

"Hey Cat has one of those." Trowa nodded sitting up.

"I know. He's the one who gave me this. He said 'The power of Allah will protect you.'" Trowa snorted. Duo looked at him confused. " Almost 7 years ago a girl gave me a cross just like this one. She told me the power of God would protect me. The next day the camp was attacked by the Feds. She had sold us all out. We were the only survivors. The cross had been the only thing that had saved me."

"Why you?" Duo asked, trying to imagine what Trowa had looked like almost 7 years ago.

"She loved me." Duo blinked, surprised Trowa was sharing so much about his mysterious past.

"So what happen?"

"I asked her how much. She told me she needed the money for her sick father and brothers. I bet they died that same day. I ripped off the cross and her little transmitter. I just left her crying. That was the night I decided to head for outer space, I got a job working on HeavyArms. And here I am now."

"Hey Tro I have a question?"

"Go ahead."

"What happened to the 'Real' Trowa Barton?"

"He found out Dr.S was not planning on going threw with Operation Meteor. Barton was a fool. He threatened Dr.S ranting about how he was going to go running to his father. Dr.S's assistant shoot him on the spot."

"Harsh.. but how did you.?"

" I was there. Dr.S spared me. I convinced him to give me the mission. After all I'm just an nameless soldier who's been fighting for so long it's all I know."

"Sounds like hell."

"I guess so."

"Well since you shared I guess it's my turn. When I was about 7 Solo and his gang caught this really nasty virus. He died but I never even got sick. See Solo promised he'd always protect me. It was after his death that I chouse my name Duo." Trowa nodded

"So what did they call you before that?"

"Not much. You?"

" Nanashi. It means no name."

"Fitting. Well I toke over then. Soon after we were rounded up and adopted. I kept getting sent back. Finally the Father and Sister toke me in. Sister Helen was the first to braid my hair. We became a family. When I was about 8 a group of mother fucking Rebs came to the church. They beat up on the Father and Sister. This made me very mad. They said they would leave when they got a mobile suit. I went to get one. When I got it back to the church it was to late. The Feds had already destroyed the church." Duo choked.

" I found Sister Helen in the rubble. She told me 2 things. 1 The Father had preached peace until the end. Just like Heero Yuy I guess. And 2 He loved me very much. They later called the massacre the Maxwell Church Massacre. They had kill Father Maxwell ,Sister Helena , and so many other good people ,245 to be exact.. It was then that I choose my last name. I'm cursed you know?"

"Hun?"

" Everyone who loves me and I love back dies. Solo, Father Maxwell, Sister Helen, even you die." Trowa just sat there silent his cat like eyes watching him. "But at lest I was able to save you. But the Maxwell curse almost struck again." Trowa knelt down in front of him. Duo looked up at him.

"Don't let some stupid belief rule your life Duo."

"Um Hello? Were we not listening?"

"Curses do not scare me."

"They scare the Hell out of me ok? That's why I keep my distance from all of you. If I get to close I'd be your death." Trowa snorted.

"Stop thinking like that you weakling." Duo looked at Trowa confused and hurt by the use of one of Wufei's favorite insults for him. Trowa just turned away and started to walk off. Duo stood and angrily marched after him. He grabbed Trowa's shoulder and spun him around.

"Who are you calling a weakling? Who died and made you the all mighty Wufei?" Trowa just stared at him, eyes shining in the moonlight. Duo could of sworn for a moment he had been staring in to the eyes of HeavyArms. Cold, cruel, and merciless.

"The truth hurts doesn't it? There's no point in having a heart if never plan to use it." Once again Trowa turned from him. Duo stared opened mouthed at him. He had never herd that tone from Trowa before. It sound exactly like the tone Heero used to get him riled up. He reached out his hand, but pulled back suddenly afraid to touch him. Trowa turned his head to stare up at the stars as he had done so many times in his past. Duo just stood there staring. ~He looks like he could disappear. ~ Duo toke a hesitant step toward him.

"Trowa?" Trowa turned to face him. "I'm sorry " Duo hung his head. "I didn't mean to upset you. I'm not Cat." Duo sniffed. " I really don't know how to talk to you." Trowa placed his hands on Duo's trembling shoulders. Duo looked up.

"I'm sorry to. You're right. You aren't Quatre and I'm not Heero. I had no right to yell at you like that but it works when Heero does it so."

"But why?"

"You were so upset I was worried." Duo looked at him stunned. Trowa gave him a reassuring smile. Duo could have sworn there were tears in Trowa's shining emerald eyes for a split second. Those secret eyes that saw and hid all now sparkling in the moonlight searching for something he was sure of it. Trowa gently wiped Duo's tears away. "Why are you crying" Trowa asked him softly. Duo opened his mouth to answer but no words came out. Trowa just smiled again. "For once you don't have anything to say?" Duo couldn't help but smile back.

***************************************************************************

Duo frowned as an image of Heero flashed before his eyes. Their latest fight played in his mind.

"So you really are leaving?" He had asked from the doorway

"Yeah."

"What about me?"

"What about you?" Duo had looked at him hurt.

"Don't the words I love you mean a damn thing to you?" Heero had turned.

" Yes, but not from you." Duo had just stared at him. He remembered he had taken the pendent Heero had given him, and had thrown it to the floor. Heero had just stared at it then at him. Duo had just turned and ran from the room. A sky of stars had fallen as he away from the room.

It was because of those fallen stars he had requested to go with Trowa instead of Heero. He knew Quatre had sense something was going on but simply agreed agreed. Trowa had just shrugged and said good-bye to Quatre as he fallowed a silent Duo out.

***************************************************************************

Duo blinked away the dream like memory. Trowa stared at him concerned. "Um...Tro? How come you didn't say anything when Quatre agreed I should go with you?"

"I thrust Quatre's judgment." Duo sniffed.

"Do you even know why I chouse you instead of Heero?" Trowa didn't respond. "He.He.." Duo started to cry again. He reached out and grabbed Trowa.

End for now. Bye, bye. Please come again.
