Small One
By: Hiruka, Akira and ChibiChiri!
Summary: Alright, Death Goddess! You promised me a picture! My email is in my account, so you'd better keep you're promise!!! **Ahem!** Quatre's just been taken by somebody… I don't even know who! It's Akira's job to come up with the villains! (Akira raises her hand) Now you have a good point, Amaya… (Looks at Akira) I'D like to know who's dumb enough to take Quatre right out from under Trowa's nose! By the way… can we quote you? Trowa in tears in this chapter! Beware!!!
Chapter 2 (Finally!): Quiet Tears
**Ring!** Yet another make out session interrupted. "H-Heero! Get off! Gotta answer the phone!" A curse from Heero, Duo answered the phone. "Yo? Duo Maxwell here?"
"D-Duo…" **Sniff** "God! You have to help me!!!" It was Trowa.
"Trowa? What's wrong?!" Duo motion for Heero to come and listen to what was being said. He put Trowa on speakerphone.
"I-It's Quatre… He's been taken! I-I don't know by who, or why, but he's gone!" Trowa screamed at the pair on the other end of the line. "You'd b-better get here f-fast before I t-tear this town apart l-looking for him…"
"We'll be right there, just stay put!" Duo shouted as he hung up. "Heero, get your cloths on, (Akira: -O.O- Hiruka: **Drool**) we need to go to Trowa!"

The two got to the mansion in record time. "Who want to kidnap Quatre?" Asked Heero as the exited the car.
"Anybody who has an eye for cute." Duo replied, "What I'd like to know is who's dumb enough to take him right out from under Trowa's nose. (ChibiChiri: Omedetou, Amaya! You've been quoted by Duo no da!!!) I hope when we find this guy, he's written out his will…"
**Knock. **
**Knock. **
"C-Come in…" Came the muffled answer.
"Trowa? You in here?" Duo asked. A sob in the corner of the room lead him to a very distraught Trowa.
Trowa stood slowly and walked towards them, "Trowa? Are you ok?" Heero asked. He blinked when the taller boy fell to his knees and collapsed against him in tears.
"Why did they have to take him?! It isn't fair!" Shouted Trowa into Heero's shirt.
Duo dropped to his knees and hugged Trowa, as did Heero. (Hiruka: Have you noticed that, with Quatre gone, everyone is a little OOC?) "We're gonna find him, Tro… I promise…"

'Can't… s-see…' Quatre thought as he tried to sit up. No matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move… He was strapped down.
"Ooh… this was a BAD idea…" Came a girl's voice. "There was someone else there I heard him downstairs when I grabbed this guy… Ooh! Turo, I got cut on that glass, too! And so did that kid! He got it more than me! We're gonna get caught-!"
"Urusei! With you screaming so loud, we're gonna get caught!" A man's voice interrupted.
"Who said I was yelling! Listen buddy this kid is fifteen years old! (Hiruka: Not sure that's right) He must have parents or at least a sibling or two! … Correction… he's got 24 sisters… And our friend is awake!" The girl turned to Quatre, who had been listening.
"Aah…! I-I'm sorry…" Quatre managed to get out, despite the pain.
"Oi, It's okay! And I'm sorry I got you cut…" Replied the girl. "My name is Cross! Actually, it's Ataru, but just call me Cross!"
"W-Why am I here…?" Quatre asked timidly, "Where's T-Trowa?"
Cross glowered and turned to the man, "See? I told you there was someone else there!!! …He… Ack!!! Turo! He's gonna kill us! That Trowa person is gonna kill us, we just stole his boyfriend!!!" She grabbed hold of Turo and hid behind him, "You did the dirty work, not me…"
Quatre's eye's widened, "H-How did you…?"
"Ah yes! Another thing I forgot to mention!" Cross came from hiding and squinted at Quatre. She closed her eyes. "'Where are you Trowa? Where am I? I don't wanna die here, please god, don't let me die…' See?" Quatre stared, "Eh… Gomen… I can read minds… What I just recited was your exact thought's 31 seconds ago!"
Quatre gasped, "O-Oh…"
"Cross! Watch the kid. I need to talk to the boss." Turo said.
"Got it." Cross waited for Turo to leave, then undid the straps around Quatre's chest and stomach, allowing him to sit up, "Are you ok?" She asked.
Quatre looked down slightly, "I want Trowa here…"
Cross frowned… then started bawling, "Gomen Nasai!!! I didn't want to do it, Turo made me! He said if I kidnapped you he'd help me find my parents! They left me at the church when I was five. That's how I got my name, Cross… he promised me… I'm so sorry…"
Quatre stared. He kidnapper had such a horrible past. "I-It's alright…"
"Arigatou…" Cross looked at her hands, "Listen… I'm gonna help you out of this… Parents or not, they left me there at the church and never came back for me… They don't want me… It just sounded like a good idea at the time…"
"I-I think I know what you can do…" Quatre whispered, "Go to Trowa and help him find me… if he's even looking…"
"I'm sure he is… but I can't leave you alone here with him! Do you know what he could do to you?" Cross whispered harshly.
"Please?" Cross blushed at the cute look that Quatre was giving her.
She stood and walked to the door, "B-Be careful, okay?"
"I will." He answered.
"Don't get him mad! Don't talk unless he asks you to… and if he asks where I am, tell him I went out for ice cream!" Cross gave him the peace sign and left abruptly.
*
Duo patted Trowa on the back, "C'mon, we need to start looking… You do want to find him right?" Trowa nodded, going silent again. He stood up was about to open the door…
"Duo…" Trowa asked.
"Yeah?" Duo answered.
"You and Heero are together, right?"
"Y-Yeah…" Duo Blushed deeply, as did Heero.
"Heero… don't let anything happen to Duo… okay?" Heero wrapped a possessive arm around Duo's waist and nodded.

Hiruka: They'll meet Cross later…
Akira: Sorry that ended so abruptly…
ChibiChiri: Hiruka couldn't think of a better way to end it na no da…
Hiruka: It's still summer! I don't have to think yet! By the way… Cross tends to rush things a lot… She mean's well though, really, she does! Even though she hardly lets Turo talk…
Akira: Oh please…
R&R Onegai! (Remember that picture Death Goddess!)
