Sorry I took so long on putting up chapter 3, but here it is, for all you
readers out there. I also had to bring the rating up for the amount of
blood, Sorry.
Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing. If I did the boys would be my manslaves.
Heero: "Hnnn.."
Duo: (giggles evilly)
Trowa: "......"
Quatre: (Chokes, Sputters, then Blushes)
Wufei: (Looks at Tojot and gives her a look of Horror) You wouldn't!!!!
Tojot: I am only kidding. But isn't it a nice thought. (Smiles evilly)
Chapter 3: Conflict
By: Tojot
(Mariemaia)
I watched him as he crossed the alleyway, still clutching at the stolen gun the other arm trying to hold back the blood of his gunshot wound. From the experience of being shot myself, I could empathize with him. The pain had to be excruciating. I also felt sorry for the guy. He had gone through so much. I was completely relieved that he wasn't dead. When Une put me on the mission of tracking him down, I never thought it would take so long. I couldn't tell him that Hilde had given up after a year of searching. It was just too painful for her for her to continue searching when we had come up with no leads to his whereabouts. Well unlike Hilde, we couldn't give up, Duo knew too much to be forgotten easily. We weren't sure how long he could keep himself from talking.
Une had met with this firm before, two weeks ago, asking if they had seen Duo. They denied even seeing him. Somehow Miss Une could see that they were definitely trying to hide something from her. When she had asked a delicate question, they asked her to leave. She didn't argue. When Miss Une returned from the meeting, she told us that we had to infiltrate the building to find out what they were hiding, she also warned us that Duo might be there. They were running an illegal operation all right, according to the files I had found just before I heard gunshots coming from down the hall. I accidentally found a file on Duo as I thumbed through the files. I grabbed it before the lights went out. I heard a couple more gunshots just outside the door of the file room. I quietly opened it and shined my flashlight on him. He looked familiar only with short hair. I quickly recognized him as Duo. I led him out of the building and let him take one of the parked SUV's that our team had, knowing that he just wanted to be back with Hilde. I never told him what Hilde was up to or what she was about to do.
I was having problems myself, my hormones had kicked into high gear, and I had discovered the world of BOYS. But not ones my own age, older and matured ones, the one that caught most of my interest was Trowa Barton, only the name had detracted me. I thought he was just cute before until Miss Une told me his real name was Triton Bloom. I smiled when I found out we weren't related. The only problem was, Trowa was involved with someone else. But I knew my luck was about to change for the better.

Duo fit the key into the locker at the space terminal. It contained a duffle bag inside. He grabbed the duffle and made his way to the restroom. The bag contained a clean outfit, a hat, a watch, a wallet, lock picks, an electric shaver, a passport, the first aid kit and other stuff that Hilde needed, one of them being scissors. Duo used the lock picks to remove the shackles, chains already broken. He quickly bandaged himself up and changed, it felt so much better to be in clean clothes. It was obvious that he had grown to the point of reaching full manhood. Thank goodness he had put clothes in the duffle that were a little big on him before the kidnapping. He gave himself a better haircut than the one he received the day before, and used the shaver to take off his beard. He trashed the ragged clothing and shackles, and looked through the wallet. There was only enough to get him one ticket to Earth and maybe something to eat. He went to the ticket counter, the ticket lady told him that he looked cute which managed to get himself the last ticket to the first shuttle out of there. Which would leave in two hours, so Duo decided that he would grab a bite to eat, he was hungry. He hadn't had anything sustaining in a while. He asked the lady where was good place to eat. She told him that the terminal's all- you-could-eat buffet was the best. He stored away the duffle within the locker, keeping only the key, wallet, and passport, watch, hat and lock picks and made his way to the buffet. He gorged himself and felt satisfied. He heard a voice over the COM system, "Passengers to Earth, your boarding time is now. The shuttle will be leaving in 20 minutes. Thank you and have a nice day." Duo quickly got a to-go box stuffed it full of food and left. He pulled anything metal out and put it on the plate beside the metal detector. He went through and picked up his metal belongings. The detector went off because of the bullet still in his shoulder. He stopped in his tracks; Duo didn't want any more conflict. The guards checked him over with a smaller and more precise metal detector. As it moved over his shoulder it went off again. It registered as shrapnel from a bullet. The Guards let him through, but told Duo that he should get the bullet removed and soon. Quickly took his seat and fell asleep.
He woke feeling as if his lungs were full of water and it almost choked him. With a choking cough he tasted a substance that tasted like salty iron. He had choked up blood. Why? 'Wait, the bullet probably hit more than my shoulder.' He thought. He thought he was out of danger, but shrapnel from the bullet had scraped his lung. He was bleeding internally and space travel wasn't helping. He felt lightheaded and dizzy, as he made his way to the bathroom closet. He lost the contents of his stomach within the toilet. Blood came with it. He lost consciousness soon after.
He woke to a rapping at the door. Duo quickly came to and flushed the mess he had made. He quickly slapped some warm water on his face to try to rid it of its paleness. He walked out of the small closet-like room to come face-to-face with the irate knocker. She had a small child that needed to go to the bathroom, badly. Duo was glad that the kid held it for as long as he could. Duo grimaced in pain and went back to his seat, only to fall asleep again.
He woke again just before the shuttle landed at its destination. His head was throbbing and chest in pain. It even hurt to stand as he got off the shuttle. His face was covered in sweat. He was really not feeling very good. He waved down a taxi, told the driver were to go and fell asleep. He woke again to the driver nudging him. He paid the cab driver and stepped out into the pouring rain. He was only a block away from the little apartment that he knew. He was exhausted, but he knew he had to keep going. He stepped up the five stairs and found that the door was locked. He checked under the mailbox that was attached to the red brick wall. It was still there. He put it in the lock and turned it. The door swung open he went inside, shut the door behind him, and passed out on the front entryway carpet.

Relena and I had just got home from our shopping spree, after the guys had dropped us off at the apartment. I had Relena open the door for me, since my hands were filled with bags.
"I am glad you came to help me out with the wedding, Relena."
"No problem, what are friends for, especially when it got me a month off my duties." Relena smiled. We both walked in and saw a strange man, out cold, on the carpet. Relena asked me if I knew him.
"I don't know." I said as I put the bags down. Turning him over and taking a good look at him, I found out who he was. My eyes went wide with surprise.
"DUO!" I screamed. Relena hadn't recognized him until I had said his name. Some one had cut off his precious braid that he loved so much, but it really didn't matter. He had come back to me even if I had given up on him. It also looked as if he had met up with Mariemaia along the way home. I noticed the carpet that he had been laying on. It had a bloodstain on it.
"Relena, Duo is hurt. Get me the first aid kit out of the closet and some hot water." I said, snapping out of my surprised state. I was glad that I had learned the surgery course that was offered in the service before I met Duo. Thank goodness Relena had gone through this type of thing with Heero before or she would have just stood there looking stupid. We pulled him into the kitchen, and removed his shirt. From looking at him, I could see that he had internal bleeding. He had tried to make an effort to take care of the wound himself by the look of the bandages he had put on. Surgery seemed to take hours, but Relena remained helpful throughout. It surprised me how strong her constitution really was, especially with all the blood and gore. We finished bandaging him up and cleaned up the mess. He was just sleeping peacefully now on my bed. I lent Relena a change of clothes and let her shower in the small bathroom beside the kitchen. I myself went to go shower in the bathroom in my room. I couldn't help but cry. I needed to. I was sick at myself for giving up too soon. I knew from the various scars I had seen on his chest, arms, and back were the result of what he went through. I was glad to have him back, alive. But I remembered that I was going to be walking down the isle in three weeks time! I now didn't want to get married anymore. I just wanted to be with Duo.
I pulled myself out of my trance as I shut the water off and grabbed the towel to dry myself off with and pulled on some clean clothes. I joined Relena in the recently cleaned and sterilized kitchen. Hardly any words could come out of my mouth; I was in conflict with myself. How was I going to tell the man, that I was about to marry, that I didn't want to get married anymore.
"I am sure he'll understand." Relena said as if knowing how much I loved Duo.
"I am more worried about his sister not understanding." I replied with a sad look on my face.
"I see your point there. Catherine can be that way sometimes." Relena plastered a pathetic look on her face.
"Not to mention, I might hurt his feelings if I tell him." I said
"It might be best to hear the news coming from your mouth than anyone else." She added.
"Okay, I'll tell him." I said as picked the cordless phone off its cradle and tapped in the number. "Hello. Trowa............"
