Duo ran to his cabin and when inside, locked the door, moving as much furniture as he could to block it. He sat in his cabin, waiting for about four hours before there was any sign of the 'hunt'. He peered out of the window through a gap in the curtain. As he did so, he noticed tiny, orange lights flickering in the darkness of the night's sky. The longer he looked at these lights, the larger they became. He knew straight away that these lights were the torches being used to lead the way to his demise.

"Purrr" Shinigami pounced onto the foot of the bed, where Duo knelt.

"They're comin' 'Gami, I'm doomed" Duo spoke in a hopeless and dejected voice. The cat just continued purring.

Duo pulled back a tiny amount of curtain and allowed one eye to peer through it. He could now make out the silhouettes of Zechs and his group of followers. He saw the Barton's near the front, he knew it was them as he recognised the unusual bang that only Trowa Barton possessed. Duo climbed off the bed and the curtain fell neatly back into place. The braided boy sighed in a resigned fashion. Duo nearly had a heart attack as a tapping noise was made on his back window.

"Argh! They're here!" He began panicking then collapsed on the floor sobbing. Wait.now there was a hissing sound by the window.

"Huh?" Duo stood up and moved to the back window. He pulled back the curtain, just the tiniest bit, and saw Wufei looking straight at him.

"Wu?!" The shocked look on the American boys face rapidly turned to a look of relief. Wufei signalled for Duo to stand back and pushed hard on the windowpane. The violet-eyed boy complied with his request and moved away from the window slightly. After a few seconds of pushing against the wooden border, the glass slipped out and dropped into Duo's outstretched hands. He carefully placed the glass pane on the floor, next to his cupboard.

"Come on!" Wufei urged Duo.

"I can't fit through there" replied Duo, disbelievingly.

"Just straighten out and I'll pull you through" stated Wufei patiently.

Slipping his arms through the tiny window, he could hear the mob surrounding his cottage and banging on the oak door.

"Hurry up Duo!" Wufei was starting to become impatient.

Duo pushed himself forward and Wufei slid him quickly through the small opening. Duo flew out of the window and landed on the floor, on top of Wufei. Duo opened his mouth to talk but Wufei pulled the chestnut coloured head down to his chest to silence him. Wufei knew that the shack was only very small and Duo, having a very loud voice, would alert the crowd of their presence. Keeping Duo pressed against his body, Wufei stood and moved slowly towards the woods.

"Mrmpf!" The braided boy began making noises that hinted that he was being suffocated. Wufei released his hold on Duo and allowed him to take a step back.

"Wu! Don't you ever do that to me again! I couldn't breathe!"

"Duo, shut up" whispered Wufei urgently but, he was too late. The mob had heard them and were already approaching the two boys at full speed.

"What now?!" asked a panicking Duo.

"RUN!!!" Screamed Wufei, as the teens raced as fast as they could into the forest.

Wufei noticed that Duo was slowly moving away from him and so, grabbed the beautiful boy's wrist. They couldn't afford to get split up now. The sounds of snapping twigs and shouting could be heard from behind them. They were getting deeper into the woods and tree roots lay creeping along the surface, waiting to trip someone up - . Duo caught his foot in a particularly big one and fell face down onto the earthy ground. Wufei felt him slump, and got dragged down with him.

"Ahhh!"

The mob came to a stop, Zechs Merquise in the lead.

"Its appears that we have found our_little_witch" stated Zechs vehemently.

"And an accomplice!", Shouted Relena Peacecraft in her natural bitchy voice. Zechs just stood smirking at the two boys lying on the floor. Duo and Wufei glanced at each other.

'Sorry Wu' Duo mouthed mournfully. Wufei sighed and nodded his head.

"Tie them up!" ordered the Witchfinder General. A small group of four or five men approached the boys and bound them with rope. They then proceeded to move them into a standing position and force them to walk back through the forest. As the group headed back past Duo's cottage, a small black cat could be seen resting on the windowsill, watching them ass. Its tail flicking irritably.
