Crimson Shadow: Part 3
By: RurouniGirl
Duo sat sleeping in the chair beside Wufei's bed. He had been there all night and had finally quit worrying long enough to fall asleep. His fitful sleep didn't last long, however. He was soon awake and worrying again. He had known that the other Elves wouldn't take kindly to a Drow in their midst, but he hadn't expected them to storm over in an angry mob and try to kill him. He sighed and turned to look at Wufei.
The young boy was sleeping in what appeared to be a peaceful manner, except for the ragged sound of his breathing and the sweat glistening on his body. Duo stood up and walked over to the nightstand. He dipped a rag into a basin of cool water and placed it on Wufei's forehead. The sleeping boy stirred and slowly opened his eyes. A small smile spread across his face and he laughed softly.
"For a moment I thought you we're an angel," he said, laughter in his voice.
Duo grinned. "Not an angel. Just an Elf," he replied. "How are you feeling?"
Wufei shrugged. "Surprisingly, a little better."
Duo nodded. "That's good. Are you hungry?" he asked, standing and stretching his aching muscles. 'That chair wasn't the most comfortable place to fall asleep,' he thought, laughing silently to himself.
Wufei nodded. "A little," he said. "To be honest, it's been months since I've had a descent meal. I almost forget what food tastes like."
"That's horrible," Duo exclaimed. "I'll get some food and be right back," he said as he exited the room.
Wufei smiled, shaking his head. 'That Duo is something else,' he thought. 'He's so different from anyone I've ever met, even Quatre, Trowa, Heero, and Treize. He's always so happy and cheerful, no matter what. And he doesn't seem to care what others think. He does what he wants even if it means breaking a few rules.'
A few minutes later Duo entered the room carrying a tray filled with enough food to feed an army. "Here you go," he said, placing the tray in front of Wufei. "Eat up," he said cheerfully.
Wufei shook his head and laughed. "I don't think I need this much food," he said. "This is enough to feed an army. I'm just one person."
"Well, just eat what you can and I'll finish what you can't," Duo replied with a wink.
Wufei smiled as he began to eat. The food tasted so good. He hadn't had a meal this good in such a long time. He ate slowly, relishing the taste. All the while, Duo simply sat watched. He began to hum to himself as he sat there and then to sing softly.
"May it be an evening star
Shines down upon you
May it be when darkness falls
Your heart will be true
You walk a lonely road
Oh! How far are you from home
Mornie utúlie
Believe and you will find your way
Mornie alantie
A promise lives within you now" [1]
"That's a beautiful song," Wufei said. "You have a wonderful voice."
Duo blushed slightly and smiled. "Thank you," he said. He had momentarily forgotten Wufei was in the room. He didn't like to sing in front of people. He may be a very outgoing person, but when it came to singing in front of anyone, no matter what that person was, he was a nervous wreck. "I forgot you were here," he said, slightly embarrassed.
Wufei grinned. "You know," he said looking at Duo, a mischievous twinkle in his eye, "you look kind of cute when you're blushing."
At this, Duo's face turned an even deeper shade of red, which in turn, caused Wufei to laugh. His laughter stopped abruptly as another wave of immense pain seared through his body, making it almost impossible for Wufei to even breathe. The last thing he remembered before blacking out was Duo frantically calling his name.

Duo looked up as Heero entered the room. Heero was the best healer in the village, but even he wasn't powerful enough to get rid of Wufei's pain. All he could do was lessen it enough so that he could breath again and give him something to help him sleep. He shook his head as he sat down across from Duo.
"This doesn't look good," he said. "We have to do something before this curse kills him."
Duo sighed. "But we can't do anything. The only way stop the pain is to break the curse."
"Then we'll just have to go and break the curse," said Trowa as he walked into the house. "We take Wufei back, help him the break the curse, and everything's ok."
"Do you really think that will work," asked Treize, coming up behind Trowa.
Trowa shrugged. "I don't know," he admitted. "But we have to try."
"Trowa's right," said Heero, looking at Treize. "We have to try. If we don't then Wufei could die."
