After dinner was finished and the remaining meat smoken adn put up,the three travelers laied down for a good night's rest.
"Good night guys,"Duo yawned snuggling up next to the fire.
"Night Duo,"Trowa mumbled,laying on his side.
"Heero,"Duo asked raising his head to see the chocolate haired prince already asleep.
"Duo,"Trowa asked in a hushed tones.
"Yea,"Duo replied with another yawn.
"Why did you bring him along?"
"He's escorting me."
"The real reason Duo."
"I like him.No big deal."
"It is a big deal.He was eyeing you all through dinner!"
"Really?"
"Duo!Are you trying to..."
"Shh!No I'm not.I just like the guy.There's no harm in it."
"Duo...I just worry.The only reason we're running is so your parents don't find out you're a carrier and if you and Heero...."
"I get the idea,but listen Trowa...I'm not going to fool around with the guy unless he loves me.That's the only way you and QUatre have lasted so long and over such distance.I want that kind of bond with someone."
"Quatre and I do have a strong hold and I want you to have soemthing just as strong,but I don't think Heero can provide it for you.You botha re still really young."
"I've lived ninteen summers and Heero one summer more.We aren't so young."
"I know...Look alll I was saying was I don't think you're ready and I don't think Heero is the special someone for you."
"We won't know if neither of us try.I said I liked Heero.I don't think I love him yet,but Trowa give me a chance to live,"Duo sighed.
"Alright.We'll talk more in the morning.We have a lot of ground to cover and we need our rest if we're going to make any progress,"Trowa said.
"Alright.Goodnight Trowa,"Duo said getting comfortable.
"Goodnight,"Trowa replied as he fell asleep.
**************************************************************************
"I hate mornings,"Duo sighed walking slowly behind Trowa.
"It's your fault we woke up so early,"Trowa said.
"The ember attacked me!Hello it's the ember's fault,"Duo yelled.
"And I suppose it found your foot all by chance,"Heero asked.
"Yes,"Duo nodded.
"Right,"Trowa said shaking his head.
"Where are we,"Duo asked looking up at the tree tops.
"At least 4 and a half months away from Surisea,"Trowa said.
"Oh,"Duo said.
"Are we going to run into any villiages along the way,"Heero asked.
"I doubt it.We're closer to man's villiages now.I vered this direction because I dont' want another repeat of Duo taken out of my sightes and man villiages have food stores in their villiages.They may come in handy,"Trowa said.
"Man villiages.I've never seen one of those before,"Heero said.
"Neither have I.Trowa has though,"Duo said.
"Man is very different about beings who are different than they are,"Trowa sighed.
"What do you mean,"Heero asked.
"You have to wear disguises so they can't see you,"Trowa said.
"That doesn't seem fair,"Heero said.
"No it's not but man can be cruel to us,"Trowa growled.
"Trowa had a bad experience when he was with Quatre,"Duo whispered to Heero.
"Oh,"Heero nodded.
"We're really close to a villiage right now.I'm going to go ask for some supplies.I'll be back hopefully before dusk,"Trowa said sitting down on a near by fallen log.
"You're leaving me,"Duo asked.
"I'll be back.Duo hand me the shoulder bag,"Trowa said.
"Here you go,"Duo said handing the bag over.
"Stay here.Make camp and either hunt or just eat the smoked meat,"Trowa said pulling a black cloak out of the bag.
"Alright,"Heero nodded.
"See you in a few hours,"Trowa said pulling the hood of the cloak over his head and turning and walking quickly towards a small villiage.
"Bye Trowa,"Duo waved.
"Who's Quatre,"Heero asked as soon as Trowa was out of sight.
"Trowa's mate,"Duo shrugged sitting down on the log Trowa was just sitting on.
"But why is his mate in Surisea instead of your villiage,"Heero asked.
"He's a carrier.It's condemed in my villiage and most of the others,"Duo shrugged.
"A carrier,"Heero asked sitting down infront of Duo.
"It means....well the carrier can carry their mate's child.All females are carriers,but some males are also.I'm not sure why but I know they are,"Duo shrugged,snapping a small twig off of a near by tree branch.
"I don't think they're are any in my villiage,"Heero shrugged.
"Oh I'm sure there are.They just don't openly admit themselves.They fear being condemed,"Duo shrugged,drawing in the dirt with the twig.
"You seem to know about about this,"Heero said.
"I do!? Oh umm..well Quatre was my best friend and yeah,"Duo laughed nervously.
"Oh well....Do you know how to hunt,"Heero asked.
"No...Trowa was teaching me,but then I was captured before I learned anything,"Duo shrugged.
"Oh...Sorry,"Heero said.
"It's not your fault,but It was your goonies that did it,"Duo shrugged.
"Oh,"Heero nodded.
"I guess we'll just eat smoked deer meat and then...just wait for Trowa,"Duo shrugged.
"That's all we can do,"Heero sighed.
"Yep,"Duo nodded.
"Why are you running Duo,"Heero asked,colbalt blue eyes meeting violet.
