Fate of Peace
Act 6 ~ Nurses, Doctors, and Quatre
~*~*~*~
This was not good... this was not good... Heero was in the club with the bomb. Heero and bomb...
in the club... it was right about then my brain shut down and the instincts kicked in. "Duo! You
have to stop it's too dangerous!" Shou had perched himself on my shoulder clutching at my hair
madly, "You can't go in there!" desperately he tried to get me to turn back, but once I'm moving
there is no stopping me.
"Hullo girly where you headed?" carelessly I backhanded the grungy teen attempting to grab my
ass, the guy would be spitting teeth for a week. Ignoring the bouncer I raced inside, cursing when
I realized the place was packed, "Duo we have to get these people out of here!" that at least
penetrated my mind. Glancing around at the walls I spotted the fire alarm BINGO! Being the
expert fire alarm setter I was, I didn't take me an instant before the horde of teens were
stampeding out. Good maybe Heero got out as well.
Glancing around at the now empty bar, I hartley congratulated myself, "Absolutly brillant
thinking Duo!" Shou rolled his eyes, "You do realize you are talking to yourself right?" Glancing
at the bunny I sniffed indigently, "Of course..." about to go on my merry way to find a bomb I
was suddenly sidetracked with, you guessed it... the most evil creature in the universe... Relena.
"Oh man, I must be dreaming..." here I go talking to myself again, but who wouldn't there was
the entire gang, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Hilde, Heero and, I shudder; Relena. "Heero I'm scared!"
wailing Relena had a death grip on Heero holding him in place, as the rest of the crew watched
urging them out. Not good the bomb could go off at any second. "Guys what are you doing get
out of here!" running over I vaguely heard Shou screeching in my ear, something about not much
time? So here's where we started from, facing the uber bitch Relena, while still dressed as Daisy,
and Shou chewing my ear off. For here on in your guess is as good as mine.
The guys looked over at me, "Daisy what are you doing here?" groaning I attempted to peel
Relena off Heero, "We have to get out of here, and we have to go now!" to hell with being
diplomatic, with one giant heave I hefted Relena over my shoulder making for the door. I didn't
get one step, "You bitch! Let me down!" panting I winced as the flailing baggage grabbed my
braid, damn she found my weak spot, "I'd love to Relena you weigh more then any other man
I've ever lifted". I know I know... but really how could I resist.
Shirking she pulled harder at my hair, ok that's it... holding her eye level, "Shut up!" easily I
pinched several nerves in her neck. Unconscious she slumped forward, silence blesses silence.
"Who are you?" looking over at Hilde I saw the fear in her eyes, "I can't explain now but we
have to..." suddenly I heard it the almost silent ticking, it's a sound I've heard so many times on
the field. You learn fast when faced with death, you can distinguish that tick over a million
sounds in the air. Over the screams of the dying, over the bast of guns, over the tank shells. It's
the ticking... the last thing you'll ever hear, all you can do is hide and pray to god that it's far
enough away.
"Heero!" in one swift movement I grabbed both him and Relena, the three of use crashed hard to
the floor just as the far wall of the club exploded.
Grunting I held tight as the shock wave sent out little group careening into the bar, that hurt. I
could hear Hilde screaming, I could feel Heero clutching tightly to my neck, but I couldn't see
anything for the dust. "Heero are you ok?" sitting I pulled Heero with me to hell with Relena she
can stay on the floor. Eyes closed tightly Heero nodded, unable to resist I ran tender hands
through his now dirt caked hair, "Thank Shinigami..." still holding Heero I waited till the dust
settled a bit, "Wufei? Hilde?" groaning Wufei helped Hilde to stand, "Yeah, were fine..."
Nodding I turned to Trowa who was leaning over Quatre, "Guys?" no answer, oh shit...
"Trowa?" releasing Heero I hurried over to the pair. Trowa looked up me, silent tears of grief
running down his dusted face, "Quatre... Quatre..." keeling I quickly checked for a pule, it was
there but very faint, we needed to get him to a hospital, "Quatre...Quatre..." making haste I
surveyed the injuries I could see, several sharp pieces of metal jutted from the slim chest. One
large cut running the length of his sternum was bleeding sluggishly. Without thinking I removed
my shirt, "Shrapnel wounds, upped chest cavity, possible punctured lung, internal bleeding..."
carefully I wadded my white shirt against the wound, "Multiple fractures, abrasions..." finished
my preliminary analysis I wiped a bloody hand across my forehead, "Shit, this kid is full of
metal..."
"Uhhh.... Duo?" looking behind me I noticed Shou sitting near Heero, as the rest of the company
looked at me in shock, "Duo?" Heero was looking at me strangely, "Are you Duo or are you
Daisy?" Hilde wore a similar expression of shock, "Both but I don't have time now, we need to
get Quatre to a hospital and fast... Wufei, Hilde I want you to take Relena back to the school,
don't mention anything about tonight alright?" nodding their compliance I turned to a shaking
Trowa, "Trowa, I'm going to help Quatre alright? But I need you to stay calm, ok? Everything is
fine, I need you to carry him out to your car ok?"
I knew Quatre and Trowa shared a car, it was key info in case I ever needed a ride. I mean it was
a sweet ass car! But getting a little sidetracked here... with infinite care Trowa lifted Quatre
carful not to disturb the wounds. "Come on Heero, come on Shou, we gotta jet..." lifting Shou
onto my shoulder I slung one arm around Heero, "Come on Hee-chan the stories long and we
don't have time now..."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"What the hell do you mean you can't operate!" it hadn't taken us long to get to the hospital, so
in short order we got Quatre to the ICU [1] thinking he'd go in for immediate surgery. Boy was I
wrong... "Damn it you will get me a gas passer [2] and I'll do it!"the stupid male nurse looked as
though he wanted to throttle me. I can't say I blame him, I mean I was in a hospital yelling
attracting a crowd, without a shirt on and wearing a plated tweed skirt hehehe... I could be
Scottish. Oh I was also covered in blood.
"Sir... or madam which ever you prefer, this patient," he gestured to Quatre laying pale on a
gurney nearby, "Does not have priority, so there's nothing that can be done". I saw Trowa start
forward to take a swing at the guy, when he was stopped by Heero. Not a problem, I'll do it.
Reaching forward I grabbed the guy by the neck of his shirt, lifting him clear off his white soled
rubber feet. "Listen very closely, I WILL operate on this boy and I WILL save him so you run
along get me a room, and get me a nurse who can work in close without getting her chest in my
way!" the guy was scared, good. "I-I'm going to get the head doctor..." mumbling he hurried off
down the hall. Snorting I crossed my arms, satisfied I'd but the fear of Shinigami in the boy.
"Duo?" turning I stared at Heero, the poor bewilder boy was holding up a sobbing Trowa while
Shou observed him unblinkingly from his place in the waist band on my skirt. "What's wrong
Hee-koi?" instantly going from bad-ass to warm and gooey... I think I might be bipolar. "Duo
that rabbit can talk..." nodding I pulled Shou out my skirt and walked over placing the bunny on
Heero's shoulder. Startled large blue eyes locked with beady black ones... if that's at all possible.
"Hello, my name is Shou, but everyone calls me Shou-chan!"
Smothering a smile I watched as Heero got this really freaked out look in his eyes, I thought he
was going to faint in all honesty. Trowa was too out of it, wailing for Quatre, man that guy had it
bad. "Now then what's the meaning of all this!" Whoo! Another new voice, spinning in place I
turned to face a rather ancient looking man. Frizzy white hair, coke bottle glasses, and a warm
caring face, "Dr. Turnner?" unbelievable, rushing forward I hugged the stout man tightly,
"Haven't seen you in ages! How's the old battle injuries? Bet all the ladies love your scars, you
old army dog!" Laughing the good doctor returned the hug, "Good to see you too, Duo. But the
thing is what brings you to my hospital?" realising the man I stepped back very serious now.
I started with the club, gave him my synopsis on the injuries, and ended with the current
situation, "Doc, I'm the only one who can go in. I've seen this a million times before, I know
your people as skilled as they are haven't seen this before. So I'm asking you as a favour to let
me go in". Grimly the man looked at me, "Who is he?" sighing I glanced at Sho, Heero and
Trowa the three were looking at me with something akin to awe, "Quatre Winner..." whistling
through his teeth Turnner ran a large hand through his thick hair. "Duo, I owe you my life several
times over. So you got your wish". Grinning I thumped him on the back, "Ok let's do this!"
grinning wildly I briskly walked over to the prone Quatre, "Trowa, Heero? Don't worry ok?" the
teens nodded.
"Here we go Q-man..." grabbing the gurney I headed down the halls running. Turnner and that
stupid male nurse followed, "Turnner I need a gas passer, and at least one nurse," nodding the
older man pointed down the side hall, "There, and I'll do it. It would be an honour to watch the
amazing Dr. Maxwell in action again". Did I mention I love this guy? Pushing Quatre through
the swinging doors I halted, "Prep him while I scrub in," heading for the little back room I
changed quickly, thankful to be out of the skirt and into the green scrubs. A nice nurse tucked my
hair up for me, as I thoroughly washed my hands.
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing?" Why must people creep up on me? Better not
do that during the operation... "Me?" not bothering to look at the new body present in the scrub
room I continued with my hands. Obviously the owner of the voice didn't appreciate that, for
someone appeared out of the corner of my eye, "Yes you! What the hell do you think your doing,
that's Quatre Winner in there, I should be the one to do the operation. I graduated form Harvard!"
snorting I wiggled my nose as the mask was tied on by the unknown nurse. "Well woopde-shit..."
snorting indigently he stamped his foot, "I have a an above 70% over all score!" stifling laughter
I headed for the operating room, "I'd get that tattooed on my thigh if I were you, just in case you
forget". The nurse giggled and our mysterious doctor turned red as a beet, do beets turn red?
"I cannot allow you in there," with great importance the man threw himself between me and the
door, throughly pissed I growled "Listen I could care less what you think, I'm here to pull metal
out of Quatre, who's a friend. I don't care you went to Harvard, I got my education on the
battlefield, you look like your fresh out of med school. Come talk to me when you've been up to
your knees in blood, and guts. When you've amputated arms with unsterile instruments. When
you've done a week's worth of meatball surgery on a group of soldiers fighting because some
damn politician looked a someone wrong, when you've looked a man in the eye and told him
he'd never walk... or that he wasn't going to live to see the morning. When you've done that
come and talk to me then".
Brushing by the stunned man I marched up to the now prepped Quatre and waiting Doctor
Turnner. Utter silence then the old doctor nodded shakily, "Well said Captain". Inclining my
head slightly I set about my task of putting Humpty together again, "Well Q-man here we go..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
2 hours, 3 hours... time lost meaning as I cut and sewed the fragile body beneath me. Finally
almost 4 and half hours later I was finished.
Quatre was moved to a private room, and Turnner and myself rested outside the theatre. "What
time is it?" to lazy to open my eyes I heard my companion snort, "Somewhere in the a.m. I'm
thinking... but Duo, that kids in for a rough night". Sighing I gave my silent agreement to that
statement, "Yeah, I better go see how Trowa's holding out..." standing Turnner and I walked
slowly down the hall, yawning widely I shook my head, "Man it's been a while since I've done
almost 5 hours worth of surgery..." chuckling Mr. Fluffy head whacked me on the back, "Admit
it you loved every minute!" grinning widely I jumped high enough to touch the ceiling, "You
know it!"
Trowa and Heero were still in the waiting room along with the Shou-man in tow. Exiting the
doors I bid a good-night... err, good-morning to Turnner before making my way across the silent
room. Seeing my approach Trowa was out of his chair in a flash, "Easy Tro-man, Q is alright,
but it's going to be a rough rest of the night.. I mean morning..." nodding a dry eyed Trowa
hugged me, "Thank you.." barley above a whisper he spoke, and you know it made me feel all
warm and fuzzy. "Would you like to see him?" nodding green eyes stared into my pleadingly
gesturing, the boys and bunny followed as I lead them to private room in the ICU.
Quatre was hooked up to a dozen different machines, pale chest rising and falling with the
beeping. Moving quickly to the bedside Trowa curled slender fingers around the small hand
laying motionless on the clean sheets. "Always love you Quatre..." tenderly the Trowa kissed his
lovers forehead shedding silent tears.
Touched I settled my sleepy frame on the other empty bed present in the room, yawning again I
ran a tired hand through my hair, man I'd missed this. A weight settled on the bed beside me,
hehehe... goody Heero, "Duo?" surprised I looked down into blue eyes as Heero cuddled close to
my chest hugging me around the middle. Shou gave me a funny look, yes I know hard to tell
when a stuffed animal makes a face, but I had made an art out of it. Hoping off Heero's shoulder
he padded over in climb up onto the bed near Quatre, good. Shou, had this awesome sort of
calming effect, it would defiantly help.
Absently I ran my hands through Heero's hair playing with the tousled strands, "Will you tell me
now?" nodding I swung Heero and my self till we where lying cuddled together on the slim
hospital bed. "Where should I start?" smiling into cobalt eyes I laughed silently as Heero feigned
deep thought, "The beginning would be nice..." so I started, about my childhood, about the war,
about Shou, about my mission... I know I shouldn't have said anything but it was like someone
had released a dam in my head, as the words tumbled forth. In a whisper I told him everything.
Lost in memories I wasn't sure when Heero had stared to stroke my hair, but dammit if he wasn't
soothing my tattered soul. I told him my thought's on the assassin's, the killing... the blood that
haunted me at night. After a little prodding I finally spilled about my gunshot wound, and Heero
pulled me closer. I didn't stop till I reached this evening's events, "Then when Catherine told me
that Relena had gone after you... Heero I was so scared". Burying my face in the brown locks of
my lover I heaved a shuddering sigh... funny it seemed as though I was crying... but I never cry.
"Oh god Heero, I don't know what I would have done... if you..." there was something wet on my
face, something foreign and new. I couldn't understand. "Heero I love you..." whispering the
words in my heart I hugged the slightly smaller teen closer.
Damn it, the wetness was increasing. Pulling away slightly Heero cupped my face running
smooth thumbs over the wetness, "Duo your crying..." no not me... I don't cry. Leaning forward
Heero kissed my face gently, "Ai shiteru Duo..."
You know I guess I can cry...

Fate of Peace
Act 6 ~ Nurses, Doctors, and Quatre
~*~*~*~
This was not good... this was not good... Heero was in the club with the bomb. Heero and bomb...
in the club... it was right about then my brain shut down and the instincts kicked in. "Duo! You
have to stop it's too dangerous!" Shou had perched himself on my shoulder clutching at my hair
madly, "You can't go in there!" desperately he tried to get me to turn back, but once I'm moving
there is no stopping me.
"Hullo girly where you headed?" carelessly I backhanded the grungy teen attempting to grab my
ass, the guy would be spitting teeth for a week. Ignoring the bouncer I raced inside, cursing when
I realized the place was packed, "Duo we have to get these people out of here!" that at least
penetrated my mind. Glancing around at the walls I spotted the fire alarm BINGO! Being the
expert fire alarm setter I was, I didn't take me an instant before the horde of teens were
stampeding out. Good maybe Heero got out as well.
Glancing around at the now empty bar, I hartley congratulated myself, "Absolutly brillant
thinking Duo!" Shou rolled his eyes, "You do realize you are talking to yourself right?" Glancing
at the bunny I sniffed indigently, "Of course..." about to go on my merry way to find a bomb I
was suddenly sidetracked with, you guessed it... the most evil creature in the universe... Relena.
"Oh man, I must be dreaming..." here I go talking to myself again, but who wouldn't there was
the entire gang, Trowa, Quatre, Wufei, Hilde, Heero and, I shudder; Relena. "Heero I'm scared!"
wailing Relena had a death grip on Heero holding him in place, as the rest of the crew watched
urging them out. Not good the bomb could go off at any second. "Guys what are you doing get
out of here!" running over I vaguely heard Shou screeching in my ear, something about not much
time? So here's where we started from, facing the uber bitch Relena, while still dressed as Daisy,
and Shou chewing my ear off. For here on in your guess is as good as mine.
The guys looked over at me, "Daisy what are you doing here?" groaning I attempted to peel
Relena off Heero, "We have to get out of here, and we have to go now!" to hell with being
diplomatic, with one giant heave I hefted Relena over my shoulder making for the door. I didn't
get one step, "You bitch! Let me down!" panting I winced as the flailing baggage grabbed my
braid, damn she found my weak spot, "I'd love to Relena you weigh more then any other man
I've ever lifted". I know I know... but really how could I resist.
Shirking she pulled harder at my hair, ok that's it... holding her eye level, "Shut up!" easily I
pinched several nerves in her neck. Unconscious she slumped forward, silence blesses silence.
"Who are you?" looking over at Hilde I saw the fear in her eyes, "I can't explain now but we
have to..." suddenly I heard it the almost silent ticking, it's a sound I've heard so many times on
the field. You learn fast when faced with death, you can distinguish that tick over a million
sounds in the air. Over the screams of the dying, over the bast of guns, over the tank shells. It's
the ticking... the last thing you'll ever hear, all you can do is hide and pray to god that it's far
enough away.
"Heero!" in one swift movement I grabbed both him and Relena, the three of use crashed hard to
the floor just as the far wall of the club exploded.
Grunting I held tight as the shock wave sent out little group careening into the bar, that hurt. I
could hear Hilde screaming, I could feel Heero clutching tightly to my neck, but I couldn't see
anything for the dust. "Heero are you ok?" sitting I pulled Heero with me to hell with Relena she
can stay on the floor. Eyes closed tightly Heero nodded, unable to resist I ran tender hands
through his now dirt caked hair, "Thank Shinigami..." still holding Heero I waited till the dust
settled a bit, "Wufei? Hilde?" groaning Wufei helped Hilde to stand, "Yeah, were fine..."
Nodding I turned to Trowa who was leaning over Quatre, "Guys?" no answer, oh shit...
"Trowa?" releasing Heero I hurried over to the pair. Trowa looked up me, silent tears of grief
running down his dusted face, "Quatre... Quatre..." keeling I quickly checked for a pule, it was
there but very faint, we needed to get him to a hospital, "Quatre...Quatre..." making haste I
surveyed the injuries I could see, several sharp pieces of metal jutted from the slim chest. One
large cut running the length of his sternum was bleeding sluggishly. Without thinking I removed
my shirt, "Shrapnel wounds, upped chest cavity, possible punctured lung, internal bleeding..."
carefully I wadded my white shirt against the wound, "Multiple fractures, abrasions..." finished
my preliminary analysis I wiped a bloody hand across my forehead, "Shit, this kid is full of
metal..."
"Uhhh.... Duo?" looking behind me I noticed Shou sitting near Heero, as the rest of the company
looked at me in shock, "Duo?" Heero was looking at me strangely, "Are you Duo or are you
Daisy?" Hilde wore a similar expression of shock, "Both but I don't have time now, we need to
get Quatre to a hospital and fast... Wufei, Hilde I want you to take Relena back to the school,
don't mention anything about tonight alright?" nodding their compliance I turned to a shaking
Trowa, "Trowa, I'm going to help Quatre alright? But I need you to stay calm, ok? Everything is
fine, I need you to carry him out to your car ok?"
I knew Quatre and Trowa shared a car, it was key info in case I ever needed a ride. I mean it was
a sweet ass car! But getting a little sidetracked here... with infinite care Trowa lifted Quatre
carful not to disturb the wounds. "Come on Heero, come on Shou, we gotta jet..." lifting Shou
onto my shoulder I slung one arm around Heero, "Come on Hee-chan the stories long and we
don't have time now..."
~*~*~*~*~*~
"What the hell do you mean you can't operate!" it hadn't taken us long to get to the hospital, so
in short order we got Quatre to the ICU [1] thinking he'd go in for immediate surgery. Boy was I
wrong... "Damn it you will get me a gas passer [2] and I'll do it!"the stupid male nurse looked as
though he wanted to throttle me. I can't say I blame him, I mean I was in a hospital yelling
attracting a crowd, without a shirt on and wearing a plated tweed skirt hehehe... I could be
Scottish. Oh I was also covered in blood.
"Sir... or madam which ever you prefer, this patient," he gestured to Quatre laying pale on a
gurney nearby, "Does not have priority, so there's nothing that can be done". I saw Trowa start
forward to take a swing at the guy, when he was stopped by Heero. Not a problem, I'll do it.
Reaching forward I grabbed the guy by the neck of his shirt, lifting him clear off his white soled
rubber feet. "Listen very closely, I WILL operate on this boy and I WILL save him so you run
along get me a room, and get me a nurse who can work in close without getting her chest in my
way!" the guy was scared, good. "I-I'm going to get the head doctor..." mumbling he hurried off
down the hall. Snorting I crossed my arms, satisfied I'd but the fear of Shinigami in the boy.
"Duo?" turning I stared at Heero, the poor bewilder boy was holding up a sobbing Trowa while
Shou observed him unblinkingly from his place in the waist band on my skirt. "What's wrong
Hee-koi?" instantly going from bad-ass to warm and gooey... I think I might be bipolar. "Duo
that rabbit can talk..." nodding I pulled Shou out my skirt and walked over placing the bunny on
Heero's shoulder. Startled large blue eyes locked with beady black ones... if that's at all possible.
"Hello, my name is Shou, but everyone calls me Shou-chan!"
Smothering a smile I watched as Heero got this really freaked out look in his eyes, I thought he
was going to faint in all honesty. Trowa was too out of it, wailing for Quatre, man that guy had it
bad. "Now then what's the meaning of all this!" Whoo! Another new voice, spinning in place I
turned to face a rather ancient looking man. Frizzy white hair, coke bottle glasses, and a warm
caring face, "Dr. Turnner?" unbelievable, rushing forward I hugged the stout man tightly,
"Haven't seen you in ages! How's the old battle injuries? Bet all the ladies love your scars, you
old army dog!" Laughing the good doctor returned the hug, "Good to see you too, Duo. But the
thing is what brings you to my hospital?" realising the man I stepped back very serious now.
I started with the club, gave him my synopsis on the injuries, and ended with the current
situation, "Doc, I'm the only one who can go in. I've seen this a million times before, I know
your people as skilled as they are haven't seen this before. So I'm asking you as a favour to let
me go in". Grimly the man looked at me, "Who is he?" sighing I glanced at Sho, Heero and
Trowa the three were looking at me with something akin to awe, "Quatre Winner..." whistling
through his teeth Turnner ran a large hand through his thick hair. "Duo, I owe you my life several
times over. So you got your wish". Grinning I thumped him on the back, "Ok let's do this!"
grinning wildly I briskly walked over to the prone Quatre, "Trowa, Heero? Don't worry ok?" the
teens nodded.
"Here we go Q-man..." grabbing the gurney I headed down the halls running. Turnner and that
stupid male nurse followed, "Turnner I need a gas passer, and at least one nurse," nodding the
older man pointed down the side hall, "There, and I'll do it. It would be an honour to watch the
amazing Dr. Maxwell in action again". Did I mention I love this guy? Pushing Quatre through
the swinging doors I halted, "Prep him while I scrub in," heading for the little back room I
changed quickly, thankful to be out of the skirt and into the green scrubs. A nice nurse tucked my
hair up for me, as I thoroughly washed my hands.
"Who the hell are you and what are you doing?" Why must people creep up on me? Better not
do that during the operation... "Me?" not bothering to look at the new body present in the scrub
room I continued with my hands. Obviously the owner of the voice didn't appreciate that, for
someone appeared out of the corner of my eye, "Yes you! What the hell do you think your doing,
that's Quatre Winner in there, I should be the one to do the operation. I graduated form Harvard!"
snorting I wiggled my nose as the mask was tied on by the unknown nurse. "Well woopde-shit..."
snorting indigently he stamped his foot, "I have a an above 70% over all score!" stifling laughter
I headed for the operating room, "I'd get that tattooed on my thigh if I were you, just in case you
forget". The nurse giggled and our mysterious doctor turned red as a beet, do beets turn red?
"I cannot allow you in there," with great importance the man threw himself between me and the
door, throughly pissed I growled "Listen I could care less what you think, I'm here to pull metal
out of Quatre, who's a friend. I don't care you went to Harvard, I got my education on the
battlefield, you look like your fresh out of med school. Come talk to me when you've been up to
your knees in blood, and guts. When you've amputated arms with unsterile instruments. When
you've done a week's worth of meatball surgery on a group of soldiers fighting because some
damn politician looked a someone wrong, when you've looked a man in the eye and told him
he'd never walk... or that he wasn't going to live to see the morning. When you've done that
come and talk to me then".
Brushing by the stunned man I marched up to the now prepped Quatre and waiting Doctor
Turnner. Utter silence then the old doctor nodded shakily, "Well said Captain". Inclining my
head slightly I set about my task of putting Humpty together again, "Well Q-man here we go..."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~
2 hours, 3 hours... time lost meaning as I cut and sewed the fragile body beneath me. Finally
almost 4 and half hours later I was finished.
Quatre was moved to a private room, and Turnner and myself rested outside the theatre. "What
time is it?" to lazy to open my eyes I heard my companion snort, "Somewhere in the a.m. I'm
thinking... but Duo, that kids in for a rough night". Sighing I gave my silent agreement to that
statement, "Yeah, I better go see how Trowa's holding out..." standing Turnner and I walked
slowly down the hall, yawning widely I shook my head, "Man it's been a while since I've done
almost 5 hours worth of surgery..." chuckling Mr. Fluffy head whacked me on the back, "Admit
it you loved every minute!" grinning widely I jumped high enough to touch the ceiling, "You
know it!"
Trowa and Heero were still in the waiting room along with the Shou-man in tow. Exiting the
doors I bid a good-night... err, good-morning to Turnner before making my way across the silent
room. Seeing my approach Trowa was out of his chair in a flash, "Easy Tro-man, Q is alright,
but it's going to be a rough rest of the night.. I mean morning..." nodding a dry eyed Trowa
hugged me, "Thank you.." barley above a whisper he spoke, and you know it made me feel all
warm and fuzzy. "Would you like to see him?" nodding green eyes stared into my pleadingly
gesturing, the boys and bunny followed as I lead them to private room in the ICU.
Quatre was hooked up to a dozen different machines, pale chest rising and falling with the
beeping. Moving quickly to the bedside Trowa curled slender fingers around the small hand
laying motionless on the clean sheets. "Always love you Quatre..." tenderly the Trowa kissed his
lovers forehead shedding silent tears.
Touched I settled my sleepy frame on the other empty bed present in the room, yawning again I
ran a tired hand through my hair, man I'd missed this. A weight settled on the bed beside me,
hehehe... goody Heero, "Duo?" surprised I looked down into blue eyes as Heero cuddled close to
my chest hugging me around the middle. Shou gave me a funny look, yes I know hard to tell
when a stuffed animal makes a face, but I had made an art out of it. Hoping off Heero's shoulder
he padded over in climb up onto the bed near Quatre, good. Shou, had this awesome sort of
calming effect, it would defiantly help.
Absently I ran my hands through Heero's hair playing with the tousled strands, "Will you tell me
now?" nodding I swung Heero and my self till we where lying cuddled together on the slim
hospital bed. "Where should I start?" smiling into cobalt eyes I laughed silently as Heero feigned
deep thought, "The beginning would be nice..." so I started, about my childhood, about the war,
about Shou, about my mission... I know I shouldn't have said anything but it was like someone
had released a dam in my head, as the words tumbled forth. In a whisper I told him everything.
Lost in memories I wasn't sure when Heero had stared to stroke my hair, but dammit if he wasn't
soothing my tattered soul. I told him my thought's on the assassin's, the killing... the blood that
haunted me at night. After a little prodding I finally spilled about my gunshot wound, and Heero
pulled me closer. I didn't stop till I reached this evening's events, "Then when Catherine told me
that Relena had gone after you... Heero I was so scared". Burying my face in the brown locks of
my lover I heaved a shuddering sigh... funny it seemed as though I was crying... but I never cry.
"Oh god Heero, I don't know what I would have done... if you..." there was something wet on my
face, something foreign and new. I couldn't understand. "Heero I love you..." whispering the
words in my heart I hugged the slightly smaller teen closer.
Damn it, the wetness was increasing. Pulling away slightly Heero cupped my face running
smooth thumbs over the wetness, "Duo your crying..." no not me... I don't cry. Leaning forward
Heero kissed my face gently, "Ai shiteru Duo..."
You know I guess I can cry...
TBC....
