Prologue: Who I am I?
~ A young boy stood in the middle of a beautiful meadow filled with flowers, the place strangely put the boy at ease. His eyes brighten and his dark Prussian eyes filled with an undefined emotion, a small smile lighting up his face. Only one word escaped his small lips, "beautiful." The young boy gasped in surprise as he saw a sight that seemed unreal. A young beautiful woman with dark blue eyes and long flowing locks of ebony woven into a braid stood a few feet away from the boy, a bright smile upon her face. Besides the woman inhuman beauty, the woman also had bright white long fluffy wings that was stretched out towards the bright blue sky as if in greeting. "Heero." The name flowed upon the wind, as the young boy stood amazed and entranced by the view in front of him. The angel kept smiling at the young boy and opened her arms wide, beckoning for the young boy to come to her. The young boy seemed to snap out of his daze and run toward her, seeking out the answers he wanted in her warm embrace, but as the young boy came closer, the beautiful image of the woman and meadow fainted away, leaving the boy alone in frightening darkness. ~
-End of Dream sequence
Confused dark Prussian eyes opened wide, the small young body was soaked in sweat and the body was trembling due to his ordeal. The young boy was extremely beautiful with his messy dark brown locks of hair, his dark blue eyes and the adorable cuteness that was his face, but the boy was unaware of his beauty and it will be his undoing. "Nani? Donnaimi desu-ka?" ( What? What does it mean?) Heero murmured unconsciously. His mind kept replaying the dream he had and couldn't make any sense of it. Heero mind replayed image of the beautiful angel, who was she? He sighed as he tried to think of where he last saw this woman that seemed so familiar. He came up with a blank, Nothing. He couldn't remember a single thing.
A deep feeling of sadness washed over him, as his mind came to a blank, everything was new to him for he couldn't remember anything. Who I am I? He shook his head and looked around the room he was in, the room was painted white and there was a window in the corner of the room. The room was pretty small, the only bed in the room was his and suddenly a loud beeping interrupted his examination, it was the heart Meter but to Heero, it was scary. Heero's Prussian eyes looked around more closely until he noticed something was sticking in his arm, it was sort of needle attached to a bag of substance. Heero filed that information for later use as he surveyed the room, he saw a monitor that was beeping and there was a pattern going across it every couple of seconds at least to his calculations. As he moved his arm, he gasped a little in pain, I looked at his arm to see a white cast, accidentally his hands brushed the call button and the young boy gasped once again, this time in surprise as the door to his room was pushed open.
A woman with golden locks of hair woven into two braid balls upon her head rushed in, her blue eyes filled with worry. "Heero, Are you all right?" The young lady called out, she was dressed all in white, with a red cross on her top, typical nurse clothes but to Heero they were just foreign. Heero looked at her blankly before replying in a soft sad voice "Shiri Masen. (I don't know.)" The Nurse looked at Heero for a minute and sighed "Eigo wo hanashi masu ka? (Do you speak any English?)." Heero shook his head, for some reason he knew his name was Heero and he understand what the woman was saying but he couldn't speak to her back in the same language. It was confusing, who was he? "It's all right Heero, at least it seems you can understand me. How about you lay back down and I'll check over your injuries all right? Oh by the way, my name is Sally, I'm your assigned nurse. If you need me, all you have to do is press that button over there." Sally informed him as she walked over to the confused Heero and gently checked over his injuries, she replaced some old bandages and kissed Heero on the forehead. "Now go to sleep, you'll need all your rest for tomorrow." Ordered Sally kindly as she smiled at Heero who looked at her with a blank expression on his face. Sally tucked the quiet Heero in the hospital bed and sang him a song till he finally closed his eyes.
As soon as Heero fell asleep, Sally watched him for a moment, the child was unique, he was beautiful, Sally smiled as she watched Heero's relaxed expression in his sleep. The young nurse shook her head and walked out the room, if she dared to turn back, she would have the seen the curtains moving away by themselves to let in the moonlight and how it shone on the young boy sleeping upon the bed, and his ears became pointy and his beauty even more apparent.

Chapter One: Unexpected Compromises
The next day, voices in the corridor woke Heero up from his long awaited rest, luckily the boy didn't have any more of those strange dreams that plagued him the day before and rested peacefully till morning came.
"Now children, I knew we were supposed to go the zoo today but I got an urgent call from a friend therefore for the whole day, we'll be helping the hospital staff treat patients. You see this hospital is low on staff right now and can't help all the patients here but with our help, we'll be able to make a difference in a few people's lives. Now I'll be assigning each of you to a room where help is desperately needed. Quatre and Trowa you'll be assigned to the second floor, a kind woman named Noin will tell you what to do. Wufei you'll be going with me to a room down the end of the hall. And Duo, you'll be staying here until my friend Sally comes. All right everybody, let's go.
*Trowa nodded and took Quatre's hand in his, ready to lead the young boy where they needed, Wufei nodded as well and walked nearer to Sister Helen so she could direct them to where they needed to be while, Duo looked completely stunned and angry*
"I want to help too. Why do I have to stay here?" Duo asked, trying to keep his anger and feeling of helplessness from his voice.
"Now Duo, you will be helping, I especially assigned you to this room since I was informed a young boy resides in it, my friend Sally told me that he has amnesia and doesn't remember anything except his name, that he doesn't speak any English but can surprisely understand it. The boy needs a friend Duo, and I knew you'll be perfect for the job, you always been the heart of the orphanage, now I'm asking you to do this little favor for me. Who knows? You might like taking care of someone and maybe even learn to act responsible." Sister Helen explained.
"All right sister if you want me to, I will but no promises. If I don't like it, I don't want to come back. Is that clear?" Replied Duo stiffly as Sister Helen smiled at him. "Of course Duo." She murmured as she walked away, leading Quatre, Trowa, and Wufei beside her.
Duo sighed and leaned against the door, waiting for Nurse Sally to come, suddenly a voice caught his attention, it was soft voice that couldn't determine if it was male or female, for it was so enchanting and nice to hear although whatever the person said, it was in another language. The voice came from the inside of the room he was leaned against, he knew he promised Sister Helen that he wouldn't leave, but she never mentioned he couldn't enter the room without Sally's presence. So Duo concluded it would be all right, if he took a small peek at the person with the lovely voice inside the room. Duo opened the door and gasped in surprise, his violet eyes widening as he stared at the boy sitting on the plain hospital bed. For the young boy was beautiful maybe a few years younger than him with Dark brown messy hair and the most beautiful blue eyes he ever seen. "Wow." Duo whispered to himself, but the tiny whisper was noticed by the young boy sitting on the bed and glazed Prussian eyes met bright violet ones and time stood still.
Heero was trying to fall back asleep and ignore the voice outside his room, with no luck, he decided to sing the lullaby that Sally sung him to lure him to sleep. As his eyes were getting droopy, a young boy opened the door to his room and Heero gasped in surprise, his song and tired state soon forgotten. An older boy with bright violet eyes and long chestnut golden hair woven in the braid stood in front of him. He was extremely beautiful, with his heart shaped face, was he still dreaming? Was it another angel? Heero thought as he decided to ask and whispered "Tenchi," not realizing that no one really knew what was saying besides Sally who was just lucky enough to take a Japanese language class when she was in college, even with that knowledge, she probably didn't know everything Heero tried to convey.
Duo snapped out of his daze, as he heard the young boy say something. "Did you say something?" Duo asked as Heero stared at him in surprise but for some reason Heero couldn't understand a word Duo said, he desperately wanted to. "Watashi no nihongo wa wakariwasu-ku? (Can you understand my Japanese?)" Heero asked suddenly but Duo just stared at Heero blankly. "I don't understand what your saying," Duo replied sadly and Heero as if understand sighed and looked away. At the same time, they wished the other could understand them and a bright light covered the room and just as suddenly as it came, it left leaving the occupants of the room in a sort of trance. "What just happened?" Duo asked after his eyes cleared and he looked towards Heero who seemed amazed by something. " I can understand you. To answer you question, I don't know." Heero replied, still in sort of daze.
Duo beamed at Heero. "Great you can speak English, I was worried for a minute. My name is Duo by the way. I may run, hide but I never tell a lie." Heero shook his head and looked at Duo for a long moment before replying "I'm Heero. Duo, I think it's time for you to leave." Duo was shocked by Heero's cold reply, "But, I just got here Heero, don't you want me to stay?" Duo asked as he pouted sadly, he really wanted to get to know Heero better but it seemed the boy was one of the rare people that didn't like him. "Gomen Duo, but you woke me up from my sleep and you didn't want to be here in the first place, so leave or I'll scream." Heero retorted softly but coldly. His Prussian eyes now glared in Duo's confused violet eyes.
Duo was about to protest, but seeing the look in Heero's eyes, he sighed and murmured "As you wish Heero, *his bangs fell covering his eyes as he lowered his head* but rest assured, that I don't give up that easily Heero. I'm gonna be your friend rather you like it or not." Violet eyes raised bravely into Heero's cold Prussian eyes, the once bright violet eyes were now darkened with strong determination and resolve as he winked at Heero before leaving the room, his braid swinging behind as if teasing Heero.
Heero sighed and he shivered slightly as he remembered Duo's gaze upon him, it seems that he wouldn't see the last of Duo. Heero briefly wondered who this angelic Duo was, as his eyes closed and he snuggled into the blankets and fell into a deep sleep, his mind still on Duo. This is the way, nurse Sally found Heero when she entered his room, a strangely quiet Duo behind her. Both Sally and Duo's hearts melted as they stood and observed Heero sleeping peacefully. Sally smiled and kissed Heero on his forehead, and motioned for Duo to leave with her as she walked out. Duo followed the nurse slowly, his eyes still on the sleeping boy, without thinking, he ran over to Heero's bed and placed a light kiss upon Heero's cheek and vowed "No matter what Heero, I will always be there for you." Sally smiled at Duo and took his hand, leading him out of Heero's room so Heero could rest.
Heero's eyes opened suddenly and his hand raised to his cheek and the young boy flushed, he felt warm all of a sudden. Why did Duo kiss me? He thought as his eyes closed, his mind now plagued with lost memories and Duo.
