Fragile Faith: Chapter 28 – Situations
~~~Wyatt Orphanage~~~
*ding dong*
Lady Une threw open the door immediately and felt a wave of relief crash over her when she saw Mr. Darlian in the doorway, accompanied by a black haired woman and a platinum-blonde haired man.
"Good heavens, my Lady. You look terrible," Mr. Darlian said, reaching out to embrace her and comfort her.
"Don't worry about a thing. Ms. Noin here told me everything you told her. I never dreamed that Relena would do such a thing." Mr. Darlian pulled back.
"Come, we mustn't waste any time," Mr. Darlian said, taking Lady Une by the wrist.
"But, the orphanage…"
"Don't worry about it, Lady. Milliardo and I will take care of the children," Noin reassured her and the man next to her nodded. Lady Une smiled in gratitude.
"Thank you," she said, before following Mr. Darlian out to his limo.
~~~Winner Memorial Hospital, Intensive Care Unit~~~
"Wonder where Iria is…" Quatre said, looking around. Dorothy, Trowa, and Catherine also glanced around, trying to spot either one of the two doctors. Suddenly, a door flew open and a pink-clad girl came rushing out, darting her eyes here and there while clutching onto her purse. She bumped into a distracted Quatre and lost her grip. Her purse fell to the floor and she hastily picked it up, making an almost mad dash down the hallway.
"Quatre, are you all right?" The blonde boy rubbed his arm where the girl crashed into him but he nodded in the affirmative.
"What a bitch. Why don't you watch where you're going?!" Dorothy snapped at the fleeing person who didn't even stop.
"It was an accident," Quatre said, trying to calm his cousin down.
"Hey what's that?" Catherine spoke up. They all turned to where she was pointing. There on the floor was a… plushie?
"That girl must have dropped it from her purse," Quatre said as he picked it up. His eyes widened at once when he saw just who the plushie was.
"Th… This…" He held up the plushie for the others to see. They all gasped.
"Duo!"
~~~White Fang University~~~
"Duo?" Hilde knocked on the door of Duo's dormitory. When there was no response, she sighed and turned the knob, pushing the door open. Peeking inside, there was no sign of the American teen and so with another sigh she closed the door.
A few minutes later, a phone rang in the empty room.
~~~Howard's House~~~
A braided boy walked toward the weeping willow trees, his hands stuffed inside the pockets of his jacket. Violet eyes clouded in pain as his mind reminded him of the past.
'Ne Duo… Is this a dream?'
'I'm afraid not Heero. Why? Do you want it to be?'
'No… I just never thought reality could be like this…'
With his head bowed, violet eyes opened as a tear escaped.
"Heero…" The name formed from his lips, but vanished as the wind blew by.
