The Secret of Quatre Winner

Chapter 5

When Quatre awoke, Trowa stood beside him, looking rather unpleasant as he was to be the one to tell Quatre what had happened, and Heero had already mentioned that he wasn't going to be very pleased. Of course, it was also said that anyone who didn't understand demon language was not going to be able to talk to him. Luckily, tiger was very similar in the fact that it used rumbling growls as a system of communication. Of course, Quatre was alright at first. "Trowa?", he asked, "But... How did you?",

"Heero came up with a plan to save you from that... Thing.", Trowa explained, "But, do to your injuries....",

"Let me see a mirror, Trowa.", Quatre said in a flat voice, "Now.",

"Quatre, please, just try not to get angry.", Trowa asked.

"I said NOW, Trowa.", Quatre said, getting irritable.

Trowa handed Quatre a mirror, he looked at himself for a few seconds, before the low growling crescendo lead to an all out roaring of rage. The mirror was smashed against a nearby table, which Quatre grabbed and nearly threw but, Heero came just in time. "Quatre, if you do not stop it right now I'll put a paralysis spell on you so strong and fast, you won't even be able to blink.", Heero warned, "Put that table down. I MEAN NOW, QUATRE!!!!!!!! That's better.",

"Hee- chan..... Is he, is he gonna?", Duo asked.

"No, Duo he's just upset right now.", Heero replied calmly.

"Upset isn't half of what I'm feeling right now.", Quatre snorted, glaring daggers at Heero, "Why not just kill me?",

"Because, if I did, I knew I would have had to kill myself right afterwards.", Heero replied, "Now, it's not the end of the world, Quatre.",

"He's right it isn't, and getting into a blind rage won't help much right now either, and you know it.", Trowa added.

"Now, you will be effected for the rest of your life, but, not as you would think it would.", Heero started, "You will change back into human the instant all of your injuries are healed, after that you will only change when you become extremely angered, however, you will learn to control that.",

"Here, in the meantime, use this, it'll make it easier for the rest of us to understand you.", Dr. Fairbanks said, holding up an innocent necklace, "It's a translator.",

Quatre slipped it on, and looked at her. "I already have it all set to your voice pattern, it may sound deeper though, so just try it.", she said.

Quatre looked at Duo, "Are you done freaking out, now?", he asked.

The translator immediately worked because Duo nodded slowly with wide eyes. "You're not gonna hurt me are you?", Duo asked.

"No, but, I am hungry....", Quatre replied.

"That's a problem.", Heero replied.

"Why?", Duo asked.

"The Anubis demon is rightfully named as the demon of death, in Egypt, it was the symbol of mummification for good reasons. Their main diet is usually humans...", Heero admitted, "However, they also eat deer, cow, sheep, anything with enough meat to feed them. Whish can be about four full grown steer at times...",

"So, Quatre has a sweet tooth for... Our kind?!", Duo asked.

"Actually, anything that walks, and has a potential of being food.", Heero said, "He's got to have a sufficient amount of it too.",

"What do we do?", Wufie asked.

"Earth.", Heero replied, "The one place with almost an endless supply of animals for him to hunt down.",

"One problem.", Quatre pointed out, "I doubt that I could just stroll to a space- port without being attacked.",

"That's where former contacts come in handy.", Heero explained, taking out a cell- phone, "Hello, is this the Preventor's office? Put me through to Officer Wind, please.",
