Visiting Hours

Chapter Twelve

We're back to Duo's POV ^_^

Not again!

I screamed inside as I watched Wufei breathe his last breath. I had let another one of my friends die by Mitch's hand but it would not happen again. Memories of Wufei floated through my mind as I silently mourned.

"And the strongest falls." I turned on Mitch so fast that I saw dots before my eyes but I didn't care. I was not going to allow Mitch to live another second.

I saw Mitch's gun out of the corner of my eye. I made my way over to reach it but was distracted by Trowa's hurried movement to Quatre's side. He swiftly walked over to a now shuddering Quatre. I watched the scene unfold.

Applying his first aid skills, Trowa placed a hand on Quatre's forehead and two fingers to check his pulse. He turned back around to face Heero and I.

"His pulse his beginning to fade, fast." Heero moved closer to Mitch and spoke softly to me.

"You and Trowa take Quatre to the hospital. I'll take care of Mitch."

"But, your shoulder needs attention too." I protested but Heero simply shook his head.

"I'll be fine."

With that, I treaded over to Trowa who had already picked Quatre up. I looked to Wufei with intentions of a final good-bye but what I found was a miracle.

Wufei's fingers twitched.

"Wufei?" I knelt down to his side and watched his body intently.

"Duo, don't waste your time, he's gone, but Quatre has a chance. Go to the hospital now!" I paid no mind to Heero and kept my attention on Wufei.

Again, his fingers twitched.

"Duo.." I interrupted Trowa's insistent voice.

"No! Wufei is still alive!" Refusing to give up on the Chinese, I gently lifted him into my arms and motioned for Trowa to go and fast.

'Good old stubborn Wufei, stubborn 'til the bitter end, right Fei? Just hold on a bit longer buddy.' I thought silently to myself as we left Heero and Mitch behind.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

It's been about an hour since Trowa and I arrived at the hospital and told the doctors what had happened to out friends. And now we sit quietly waiting for a diagnosis on them both.

Eventually, Heero arrived on the scene and we greeted him with a silent nod. He returns the gesture before sitting with us.

"Mitch and his gang are dead. With some convincing and threatening, Mitch finally shot himself. Unfortunately, Ariana slipped out the back way but I cleared everything up with the police so that none of us will have to be questioned or anything. They're on the hunt for Ariana now."

Trowa and I were reluctant but relieved that we had left Heero behind. Had either of us stayed back, Mitch would have about twenty bullets in his corpse and we'd have to outrun the coppers. Good old sensible Heero.

So now the three of us wait desperately for any information concerning our two friends.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Well? How was it? Very short again, but, Fei is alive again! Although, he could still die but for now, there is hope! Yay!!! Two more chapters to go everyone! Oh, and I've kind of set it up for a sequel with the whole Ariana disappearing thing but I have no ideas for what would happen.

Please Review! I'll update soon!

Later!
