"We have arrived." Silver said waking me up.
I opened my eyes slowly and looked at the screen. The Califom was a few meters away.
"Good job Silver." I said sitting up, "Thanks for waking me up before we had a compete confrontation."
"You were having a strange dream." Silver Angel said, "It was bothering you."
"Well. it was. I think I may have seen what happened this morning when they found out that I was gone." I said.
"I believe you did." Silver said.
"How would you know?" I asked.
"Information tells me that you had been doing something strange and some signal was coming from you. I read it and found that it led to the Winner house. I believe that it is because of hyper space and then the portal." Silver Angel said.
"Hmmm. I'll have to think about that." I said, "But right now we have to think about this Califom that we are about to confront. Silver do you think you know who it is that is flying this Califom?"
"Yes it is Koren Truants." Silver angel answered while I looked at the black and white looking Califom.
"Good open up communications to Koren." I said.
Silence for a moment and then, "She is responding Laura." Silver said.
An 18-year-old girl with black hair down to the middle of her back and cold jade green eyes stared at me from the screen.
"Are you Laura Micrinfeild?" Koren asked.
I hardened my self and nodded, "Yes." I said, "And you must be Koren Truants."
"You are correct." Koren said.
We were silent for a moment wondering what each other would do. Finally we both said, "The governments been lying" at the same time.
We stood in shock and looked at each other. I smiled, "So you know."
Koren nodded, "I did some hacking off of the Governments secret files and found out about my parents."
I nodded, "Yes so did I. I found out that there were more like myself who might have been lied to."
"Do you also know about their plans about this place?" Koren asked.
I nodded gravely, "I also know that this place has been fighting for a while and they are week from war. If the government came in after them they wouldn't stand a chance."
"Yes. It's horrible. I've seen what Oz has been doing too and it's horrible. They lie to the colonies and take control in the name of peace and then attack them. Reminds me of our government."
I nodded in complete agreement, "I've met the five who have been fighting against Oz." I said, "The five Gundam pilots. I know that they will succeed in gaining peace. They don't even fight for a side. They only protect anyone who is helpless."
"That's what I would do." Koren said gaining her calmness again.
I calmed down again and said, "Would you like to team up and try to find the other three now?"
Koren nodded. I smiled and both asked at the same time for our Califom to find the nearest one. Koren said, "Dark Angel were is the nearest Califom?"
While I asked, "Silver angel were is the nearest Califom?"
We both looked at each other and smiled.
"The nearest is back two Colonies." Silver angel and Dark Angel answered.
I nodded, "Shall we?" I asked.
Koren nodded, "Lets"
Cutting off communication we continued back two colonies. On the way over I called Koren, she answered and looked at me.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Did you get to choose the name of your Califom?" I asked.
Koren grinned, "Yes I did." She said, "You?"
I nodded, "Yep. It's so strange that we both decided to call our Califoms angels?"
"I'm wondering if the next one has also called hers' an angel?" Koren said.
"If she did then maybe we should call them Angels instead." I said.
Koren laughed which sounded strange since it seemed like a girl like her probably wouldn't laugh, "Yes we should." She said.
"Well I mean Angel sounds SO much better than Califom. Don't you agree?" I asked.
"Agreed." Koren said with a smile.
"Hey would you like to see a little bit about the Gundam pilots?" I asked taking out a Vid cube.
"Maybe. I guess." Koren said, "Not right now though. At least not until after we have the third and are on earth."
"Yes that's were the other two are." I said.
Koren and I started talking about life on the colonies and how we had been lied to and found out later on. Soon though we were silent when we came up to another Califom.
I looked at the Califom. It looked like it had red and white metal. "Who is inside this Silver?" I asked.
"Harmony Griff." Silver said.
I nodded both Koren and I then opened up communication to her.
"Harmony Griff?" we asked.
A girl with fiery red hair looked at us, "Yes." She answered.
"Harmony do you know what the government has been doing?" I started.
"They've been lying to us. And you." I added.
Harmony held up a hand for silence, "I know." She said, "They lie to everyone. I've been searching for you." She said.
"You mean you'll join us in finding the rest of the Califoms?" I asked confused.
Harmony nodded, "Yes. After we have joined together maybe we can help this world gain peace and then we can always make those jerks pay." She said calmly.
We both nodded, "good then lets head to earth." I said then added, "By the way. Harmony what do you call your Califom?"
"Fire Angel. Why?" Harmony asked.
I smiled, "Because now our Califom's are called Angels."
"Why?" Harmony asked.
"All of us called our Califom's angels." I answered.
Harmony laughed, "How ironic." She said.
We started then for earth. I fell asleep again while Silver took control.
@@@
The pilots had found out about Oz trying to create a secret weapon. With Heero's hacking they were able to find out were. It was on a crater that was floating near earth.
"So were off again?" Duo asked.
Heero nodded. Quatre walked over to Duo saying, "I'm glad your feeling better Duo."
Duo smiled, "I can live." He said.
Heero nodded knowing that duo wasn't really okay. But wasn't about to say anything. He looked at Trowa and Wufie, they nodded and they all left for the Dock and flew off in their Gundams.
Duo and Heero went in while most of the soldiers were asleep. Duo used Deathsycth Hell to mess up their enemies' communications and visual. They easily got inside. Quatre, Wufie, and Trowa stayed outside in case any thing wrong should happen.
Heero and Duo hopped out of their Gundams after destroying every Mobil suit that was there. They fought their way to the control center. Heero then took control of the computer to find out what it was that Oz was trying to do.
Heero gasped, Duo, who had been at the door walked over to Heero and peered over his shoulder. They had been trying to create the ultimate virus that would wipe out colonies. It would make the person who was infected with it die a very slow and painful death. They wouldn't die until the very end of their bodies' torture. It wouldn't even let them be killed quickly so that it would end quicker. The virus would only let them die until it was done. The only problem was that they hadn't been able to get it to spread. It only worked if someone was injected with the virus.
"We better destroy it quickly before they can make it be able to spread." Duo said.
"We need an anti virus for it incase some people have already been infected." Heero said, "Innocent do not need to suffer such a painful death."
Duo nodded, "No arguments there."
The doors suddenly flung open and a man in a white trench coat stood with a gun in his hands.
"Back away from the controls." The man said.
Heero stood up with his hands out. The man didn't trust Heero and shot anyways. Duo pushed Heero out of the way. Heero got up and tackled the man hitting him on the head so that he was unconscious. Heero went back over to Duo seeing him on the floor with a small vial stuck on his back. Heero went over and pulled it out.
"Wha. what they heck is that!" Duo said weekly.
"The Virus." Heero said with no emotion.
"S. great." Duo said before his eyes rolled up and he collapsed on the floor.
Heero picked Duo up and dragged the scientist out of the room and went quickly to his Gundam. Heero set Duo carefully down next to his seat and Heero tied the one man up throwing his on the other side. Heero grabbed in his gundam grabbed Duo's Deathsycth Hell and flew out of the battle station.
Over the intercom Heero told the pilots, "Blow it up."
The pilots nodded and started destroying the Battle station. Soon it blew up in a million tiny peaces. Duo moaned in pain as Heero started flying them back to the Winner mansion.
"Hold on Duo." Heero said quietly.
Duo just gave a nerve-racking cough. Heero closed his eyes for a moment and started flying faster.
@@@
I woke up quickly saying, "No DUO!"
"Are you alright?" Silver asked me.
"Silver are you absolutely sure that I can see things when they happen while I sleep?" I asked Silver.
"Yes. You were transmitting again while you wee sleeping just a while ago." Silver answered.
"Open up communication to Harmony and Koren." I said quickly.
"Alright."
On the screen Koren and Harmony's faces showed up looking confused.
"What's wrong?" Koren asked.
"I need to do something on colony L3. Meet me later at the Winner Mansion. I can't go with you to earth right now." I told them.
"Why?" Harmony asked.
"Some one. important to me is in trouble." I told her, "I need to help."
"How do you know?" Koren asked.
"There's no time to explain. Just go and find the other two. You know where to meet me." I said as I turned Silver around and headed towards Colony L3, "Hang on Duo." I said as I flew as Silver flew as quick as she could.
I was getting impatient and told Silver, "Silver it'll take to long to get there at this speed. Plan in a course for L3 colony and go into hyper space."
"Are you sure? It will only be a few seconds between areas." Silver said.
"I know. That's what I want. I need to get there as fast as I can." I told her, "Do it!"
"Alright then." Silver said as she blasted into hyperspace and then we quickly blasted out. Silver had almost crashed into the Colony but I turned her around and we slowed down. I flew Silver down into the Hidden Dock were the Five Gundams were.
I was about to hop out when Silver stopped me saying, "Don't forget your communicator."
A communicator came out of a hole from inside the cockpit. I took it and put it around my left wrist. "Let me know whenever I have a call from Ron or the others." I told Silver as I jumped out and into the Colony.
I ran ignoring the people watching me as I headed to the Winner Mansion. I opened the doors and ran into the five pilots. Duo being held by Heero and a man in a white trench coat sitting on the ground tied up. They all looked at me surprised.
"Is Duo okay?" I asked walking up to Heero holding Duo.
Heero shook his head, "A virus."
I nodded my head Duo groaned. I felt my stomach dropped when I herd him in so much pain. I looked at the man in the trench coat sitting on the floor. I walked over to him my hand in a fist. He looked at me shocked.
"If you don't get a cure for this." I said really pissed of, "I make you hurt so much you'll wish you were dead."
He looked at me scared. I kicked him in between the legs saying, "And that's for shooting Duo."
The Quatre and Wufie winced when they saw me kick the man in the shins. The man though was laying on the ground in a lot of pain. Heero and Trowa just looked at me.
"How did you know that He shot Duo?" Heero asked.
I sighed calming down, "I saw it in a dream. Silver tells me that sometimes while I sleep I see what's going on in other places."
"Silver talked to you?" Trowa asked.
"I never told you before but technology is up so high at home that machines have personalities of their own. Silver Angel has a personality of her own." I told them.
"Indeed I do." Silver said from my com link.
"What?" They asked.
"That was Silver." I said, and then I asked Silver, "Have any messages come through?"
"No I was just listening to your conversation." Silver said, "I was wondering what made you turn around while you were about to go to earth and find the last two angels."
"Ya well now you know." I said.
I walked over to Heero, "Can I carry him?" I asked Heero.
Heero looked at me a little reluctantly and then finally he handed Duo over to me. I held the almost weightless Duo in my arms. Duo slowly opened his eyes.
He looked shocked and then happy, "Laura." He said weekly then started coughing.
"Don't talk Duo." I told him. I looked up at the other four pilots embarrassed that I was acting this way in front of two emotionless people. I looked at Duo worried and carried him up to his room. Setting him down carefully on his bed. The four pilots fallowed me. Heero was dragging the still hurting man up the stairs by the end of the rope.
I pulled out a chair from Duo's desk and sat down next to Duo's bed. I turned back to look at the other four pilots.
"Well?" I asked.
"Welcome back Laura." Quatre said.
The others just nodded their heads a little.
I smiled and then frowned, "I'm only here because of Duo. Um. Quatre I told the others to meet me here. Is that okay?"
Quatre smiled, "Sure! I don't care. There is a lot of room around here."
I nodded, "Thank you. If Koren and Harmony succeed in convincing the last two about what's been really going on then you should have four more visitors."
"Like I said. There is a lot of room. This IS a mansion after all." Quatre said.
I only smiled, "Good."
Heero stood next to me and looked down at Duo and then over at me, "He really missed you."
"I know." I said.
"Just WHAT has been going on exactly anyways?" Quatre asked.
"What made you turn against your Government?" Trowa asked.
I sat thinking for a moment about how much I wanted to say then said, "I tell you this much. I found out how much Oz and my "Government" is so alike."
"Why am I here?" The man on the floor asked still tied up.
"Because." I said looking him in the eyes, "You are the one who shot Duo and you might know how to cure the virus. If not." I took out my knife from my boot and held it up to his neck and in a calm seductive voice I said, "I kill you myself."
The man gulped making the knife next to his throat cut a little bit of his skin. "Are you going to find or make the cure?" I asked.
"Y.yes." The man said nervously.
"Good" I said as I took the knife away from his throat and put it back in my boot. He let out a sigh of relief.
"We'll go ahead and have him work on the cure." Heero said.
Quatre came up to Duo and looked up at me, "You sure you want to stay here alone?"
I nodded my head, "Go follow your friends." I told Quatre.
"Some times I don't know who my friends are." Quatre mumbled as he followed the three pilots and the dragged and now scared man in the white trench coat. I smiled at them. They looked so silly walking away dragging a man in a trench coat along behind them.
Duo groaned and I turned back to him suddenly becoming serious now.
"Oh Duo." I said, " I didn't mean to make you worry about me. I just didn't want you to get hurt but it looks like that's happened anyways."
Duo looked up at me and smiled He opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him, "No Duo I don't want you in a coughing fit again. It makes me so worried."
Duo nodded, He slowly lifted his right hand up to my face with a smile on his lips. I smiled back at him tears in my eyes. He wiped away my tears and shook his head as if to say no tears.
His hand dropped to his side weekly, "Don't worry Duo we'll get him to make the anti virus. If not then." I said then added in a whisper, "I'll make him pay."
"I love you." Duo said weekly as he closed his eyes. He started coughing violently I gasped and could only sit by his side not knowing what to do. Duo stopped coughing and wiped his mouth. Something was on his hand where he had wiped his mouth. My eyes widened when I noticed that it was blood. Duo then seemed to get very sweaty. He started shaking. I put my hand to his forhead and pulled it back quickly. He was now burning up.
Duo groaned painfully as he lay on the bed in sweat. I grabbed the blankets and put them on Duo. He looked at me as if to thank me and then blacked out from the pain coming from the virus that was eating him up slowly from the inside.
"That guy better hurry up." I said.
"It was made to last for a month or two before the victim dies." Heero said as he stood beside me looking at Duo.
I nodded, "I don't know how long it tames before he dies even if we give him the anti virus."
"It's only been a few hours." Heero said, "If it's supposed to be a painful death then you shouldn't worry so much."
I looked at Heero, "And why are you so calm?" I asked, "Duo might die and you're just standing there."
"And you worry to much." Heero said.
"That's only because." "I understand. I felt the same for a good friend of mine." Heero said.
"Releena?" I asked.
Heero nodded, "She's the first girl friend, I guess you could say, I ever got. We watch out for each other and worry about one another."
I nodded, "Hmm."
Duo coughed violently for a painfully long time and I froze and didn't breath while Duo was coughing. Heero looked at me.
"You shouldn't be here." Heero said.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Every time he is in pain it hurts you to. You shouldn't be here." Heero said.
"I'll stay anyways." I said.
Heero put his hand behind my neck and squeezed hard. All I knew next was darkness
Okay so I decided to give you a few more pages than normal. speed things up a little. Warning I'm planning on writing sequel to this. eventually. just not right now. Busy. *Groan* evil work. *Latches onto Duo* You'll save me won't you?... *Duo shakes his head no* Damn. Anyways I don't own the Gundam dudes so don't sue me. Mesa just a fan. and always will be. HA!

"We have arrived." Silver said waking me up.
I opened my eyes slowly and looked at the screen. The Califom was a few meters away.
"Good job Silver." I said sitting up, "Thanks for waking me up before we had a compete confrontation."
"You were having a strange dream." Silver Angel said, "It was bothering you."
"Well. it was. I think I may have seen what happened this morning when they found out that I was gone." I said.
"I believe you did." Silver said.
"How would you know?" I asked.
"Information tells me that you had been doing something strange and some signal was coming from you. I read it and found that it led to the Winner house. I believe that it is because of hyper space and then the portal." Silver Angel said.
"Hmmm. I'll have to think about that." I said, "But right now we have to think about this Califom that we are about to confront. Silver do you think you know who it is that is flying this Califom?"
"Yes it is Koren Truants." Silver angel answered while I looked at the black and white looking Califom.
"Good open up communications to Koren." I said.
Silence for a moment and then, "She is responding Laura." Silver said.
An 18-year-old girl with black hair down to the middle of her back and cold jade green eyes stared at me from the screen.
"Are you Laura Micrinfeild?" Koren asked.
I hardened my self and nodded, "Yes." I said, "And you must be Koren Truants."
"You are correct." Koren said.
We were silent for a moment wondering what each other would do. Finally we both said, "The governments been lying" at the same time.
We stood in shock and looked at each other. I smiled, "So you know."
Koren nodded, "I did some hacking off of the Governments secret files and found out about my parents."
I nodded, "Yes so did I. I found out that there were more like myself who might have been lied to."
"Do you also know about their plans about this place?" Koren asked.
I nodded gravely, "I also know that this place has been fighting for a while and they are week from war. If the government came in after them they wouldn't stand a chance."
"Yes. It's horrible. I've seen what Oz has been doing too and it's horrible. They lie to the colonies and take control in the name of peace and then attack them. Reminds me of our government."
I nodded in complete agreement, "I've met the five who have been fighting against Oz." I said, "The five Gundam pilots. I know that they will succeed in gaining peace. They don't even fight for a side. They only protect anyone who is helpless."
"That's what I would do." Koren said gaining her calmness again.
I calmed down again and said, "Would you like to team up and try to find the other three now?"
Koren nodded. I smiled and both asked at the same time for our Califom to find the nearest one. Koren said, "Dark Angel were is the nearest Califom?"
While I asked, "Silver angel were is the nearest Califom?"
We both looked at each other and smiled.
"The nearest is back two Colonies." Silver angel and Dark Angel answered.
I nodded, "Shall we?" I asked.
Koren nodded, "Lets"
Cutting off communication we continued back two colonies. On the way over I called Koren, she answered and looked at me.
"Yes?" She asked.
"Did you get to choose the name of your Califom?" I asked.
Koren grinned, "Yes I did." She said, "You?"
I nodded, "Yep. It's so strange that we both decided to call our Califoms angels?"
"I'm wondering if the next one has also called hers' an angel?" Koren said.
"If she did then maybe we should call them Angels instead." I said.
Koren laughed which sounded strange since it seemed like a girl like her probably wouldn't laugh, "Yes we should." She said.
"Well I mean Angel sounds SO much better than Califom. Don't you agree?" I asked.
"Agreed." Koren said with a smile.
"Hey would you like to see a little bit about the Gundam pilots?" I asked taking out a Vid cube.
"Maybe. I guess." Koren said, "Not right now though. At least not until after we have the third and are on earth."
"Yes that's were the other two are." I said.
Koren and I started talking about life on the colonies and how we had been lied to and found out later on. Soon though we were silent when we came up to another Califom.
I looked at the Califom. It looked like it had red and white metal. "Who is inside this Silver?" I asked.
"Harmony Griff." Silver said.
I nodded both Koren and I then opened up communication to her.
"Harmony Griff?" we asked.
A girl with fiery red hair looked at us, "Yes." She answered.
"Harmony do you know what the government has been doing?" I started.
"They've been lying to us. And you." I added.
Harmony held up a hand for silence, "I know." She said, "They lie to everyone. I've been searching for you." She said.
"You mean you'll join us in finding the rest of the Califoms?" I asked confused.
Harmony nodded, "Yes. After we have joined together maybe we can help this world gain peace and then we can always make those jerks pay." She said calmly.
We both nodded, "good then lets head to earth." I said then added, "By the way. Harmony what do you call your Califom?"
"Fire Angel. Why?" Harmony asked.
I smiled, "Because now our Califom's are called Angels."
"Why?" Harmony asked.
"All of us called our Califom's angels." I answered.
Harmony laughed, "How ironic." She said.
We started then for earth. I fell asleep again while Silver took control.

The pilots had found out about Oz trying to create a secret weapon. With Heero's hacking they were able to find out were. It was on a crater that was floating near earth.
"So were off again?" Duo asked.
Heero nodded. Quatre walked over to Duo saying, "I'm glad your feeling better Duo."
Duo smiled, "I can live." He said.
Heero nodded knowing that duo wasn't really okay. But wasn't about to say anything. He looked at Trowa and Wufie, they nodded and they all left for the Dock and flew off in their Gundams.
Duo and Heero went in while most of the soldiers were asleep. Duo used Deathsycth Hell to mess up their enemies' communications and visual. They easily got inside. Quatre, Wufie, and Trowa stayed outside in case any thing wrong should happen.

Over the intercom Heero told the pilots, "Blow it up."
The pilots nodded and started destroying the Battle station. Soon it blew up in a million tiny peaces. Duo moaned in pain as Heero started flying them back to the Winner mansion.
"Hold on Duo." Heero said quietly.
Duo just gave a nerve-racking cough. Heero closed his eyes for a moment and started flying faster.

I woke up quickly saying, "No DUO!"
"Are you alright?" Silver asked me.
"Silver are you absolutely sure that I can see things when they happen while I sleep?" I asked Silver.
"Yes. You were transmitting again while you wee sleeping just a while ago." Silver answered.
"Open up communication to Harmony and Koren." I said quickly.
"Alright."
On the screen Koren and Harmony's faces showed up looking confused.
"What's wrong?" Koren asked.
"I need to do something on colony L3. Meet me later at the Winner Mansion. I can't go with you to earth right now." I told them.
"Why?" Harmony asked.
"Some one. important to me is in trouble." I told her, "I need to help."
"How do you know?" Koren asked.
"There's no time to explain. Just go and find the other two. You know where to meet me." I said as I turned Silver around and headed towards Colony L3, "Hang on Duo." I said as I flew as Silver flew as quick as she could.
I was getting impatient and told Silver, "Silver it'll take to long to get there at this speed. Plan in a course for L3 colony and go into hyper space."
"Are you sure? It will only be a few seconds between areas." Silver said.
"I know. That's what I want. I need to get there as fast as I can." I told her, "Do it!"
"Alright then." Silver said as she blasted into hyperspace and then we quickly blasted out. Silver had almost crashed into the Colony but I turned her around and we slowed down. I flew Silver down into the Hidden Dock were the Five Gundams were.
I was about to hop out when Silver stopped me saying, "Don't forget your communicator."
A communicator came out of a hole from inside the cockpit. I took it and put it around my left wrist. "Let me know whenever I have a call from Ron or the others." I told Silver as I jumped out and into the Colony.
I ran ignoring the people watching me as I headed to the Winner Mansion. I opened the doors and ran into the five pilots. Duo being held by Heero and a man in a white trench coat sitting on the ground tied up. They all looked at me surprised.
"Is Duo okay?" I asked walking up to Heero holding Duo.
Heero shook his head, "A virus."
I nodded my head Duo groaned. I felt my stomach dropped when I herd him in so much pain. I looked at the man in the trench coat sitting on the floor. I walked over to him my hand in a fist. He looked at me shocked.
"If you don't get a cure for this." I said really pissed of, "I make you hurt so much you'll wish you were dead."
He looked at me scared. I kicked him in between the legs saying, "And that's for shooting Duo."
The Quatre and Wufie winced when they saw me kick the man in the shins. The man though was laying on the ground in a lot of pain. Heero and Trowa just looked at me.
"How did you know that He shot Duo?" Heero asked.
I sighed calming down, "I saw it in a dream. Silver tells me that sometimes while I sleep I see what's going on in other places."
"Silver talked to you?" Trowa asked.
"I never told you before but technology is up so high at home that machines have personalities of their own. Silver Angel has a personality of her own." I told them.
"Indeed I do." Silver said from my com link.
"What?" They asked.
"That was Silver." I said, and then I asked Silver, "Have any messages come through?"
"No I was just listening to your conversation." Silver said, "I was wondering what made you turn around while you were about to go to earth and find the last two angels."
"Ya well now you know." I said.
I walked over to Heero, "Can I carry him?" I asked Heero.
Heero looked at me a little reluctantly and then finally he handed Duo over to me. I held the almost weightless Duo in my arms. Duo slowly opened his eyes.
He looked shocked and then happy, "Laura." He said weekly then started coughing.
"Don't talk Duo." I told him. I looked up at the other four pilots embarrassed that I was acting this way in front of two emotionless people. I looked at Duo worried and carried him up to his room. Setting him down carefully on his bed. The four pilots fallowed me. Heero was dragging the still hurting man up the stairs by the end of the rope.
I pulled out a chair from Duo's desk and sat down next to Duo's bed. I turned back to look at the other four pilots.
"Well?" I asked.
"Welcome back Laura." Quatre said.
The others just nodded their heads a little.
I smiled and then frowned, "I'm only here because of Duo. Um. Quatre I told the others to meet me here. Is that okay?"
Quatre smiled, "Sure! I don't care. There is a lot of room around here."
I nodded, "Thank you. If Koren and Harmony succeed in convincing the last two about what's been really going on then you should have four more visitors."
"Like I said. There is a lot of room. This IS a mansion after all." Quatre said.
I only smiled, "Good."
Heero stood next to me and looked down at Duo and then over at me, "He really missed you."
"I know." I said.
"Just WHAT has been going on exactly anyways?" Quatre asked.
"What made you turn against your Government?" Trowa asked.
I sat thinking for a moment about how much I wanted to say then said, "I tell you this much. I found out how much Oz and my "Government" is so alike."
"Why am I here?" The man on the floor asked still tied up.
"Because." I said looking him in the eyes, "You are the one who shot Duo and you might know how to cure the virus. If not." I took out my knife from my boot and held it up to his neck and in a calm seductive voice I said, "I kill you myself."
The man gulped making the knife next to his throat cut a little bit of his skin. "Are you going to find or make the cure?" I asked.
"Y.yes." The man said nervously.
"Good" I said as I took the knife away from his throat and put it back in my boot. He let out a sigh of relief.
"We'll go ahead and have him work on the cure." Heero said.
Quatre came up to Duo and looked up at me, "You sure you want to stay here alone?"
I nodded my head, "Go follow your friends." I told Quatre.
"Some times I don't know who my friends are." Quatre mumbled as he followed the three pilots and the dragged and now scared man in the white trench coat. I smiled at them. They looked so silly walking away dragging a man in a trench coat along behind them.
Duo groaned and I turned back to him suddenly becoming serious now.
"Oh Duo." I said, " I didn't mean to make you worry about me. I just didn't want you to get hurt but it looks like that's happened anyways."
Duo looked up at me and smiled He opened his mouth to say something but I stopped him, "No Duo I don't want you in a coughing fit again. It makes me so worried."
Duo nodded, He slowly lifted his right hand up to my face with a smile on his lips. I smiled back at him tears in my eyes. He wiped away my tears and shook his head as if to say no tears.
His hand dropped to his side weekly, "Don't worry Duo we'll get him to make the anti virus. If not then." I said then added in a whisper, "I'll make him pay."
"I love you." Duo said weekly as he closed his eyes. He started coughing violently I gasped and could only sit by his side not knowing what to do. Duo stopped coughing and wiped his mouth. Something was on his hand where he had wiped his mouth. My eyes widened when I noticed that it was blood. Duo then seemed to get very sweaty. He started shaking. I put my hand to his forhead and pulled it back quickly. He was now burning up.
Duo groaned painfully as he lay on the bed in sweat. I grabbed the blankets and put them on Duo. He looked at me as if to thank me and then blacked out from the pain coming from the virus that was eating him up slowly from the inside.
"That guy better hurry up." I said.
"It was made to last for a month or two before the victim dies." Heero said as he stood beside me looking at Duo.
I nodded, "I don't know how long it tames before he dies even if we give him the anti virus."
"It's only been a few hours." Heero said, "If it's supposed to be a painful death then you shouldn't worry so much."
I looked at Heero, "And why are you so calm?" I asked, "Duo might die and you're just standing there."
"And you worry to much." Heero said.
"That's only because." "I understand. I felt the same for a good friend of mine." Heero said.
"Releena?" I asked.
Heero nodded, "She's the first girl friend, I guess you could say, I ever got. We watch out for each other and worry about one another."
I nodded, "Hmm."
Duo coughed violently for a painfully long time and I froze and didn't breath while Duo was coughing. Heero looked at me.
"You shouldn't be here." Heero said.
"Why not?" I asked.
"Every time he is in pain it hurts you to. You shouldn't be here." Heero said.
"I'll stay anyways." I said.
Heero put his hand behind my neck and squeezed hard. All I knew next was darkness
