After a few hours of just laying in Heero's embrace Duo decided he couldn't sleep. So ever so getnally,Duo eased himself from Heero's arms and crept away from the camp site to where Duo heard running water.
"Yay!Fresh water,"Duo said to himself as he kneeled by the river bank and started washing his face. After a few minutes Duo soot up,water dripping of his face,when suddenly someone clamped their hand over Duo's mouth.
"Don't make a sound,"A voice said quietly in Duo's ear,before removing their hand.
"Heero!?What...,"Duo gasped before Heero put his hand back over Duo's mouth.
"Shhh,"Heero hissed pointing out across the river where a heard of scouts wehre walking in the shadows of the trees.
"Follow me,"Heero whispered once again removing his hand from Duo's mouth.
"Alright,"Duo nodded as Heero held his hand and guided him through the woods.
Once they were relatively close to the camp site Heero stopped Duo from going any further and crouched down on the ground.
"Why'd we stop,"Duo whispered crouching down by Heero.
"They're at the camp,"Heero whispered back.
"We're just going to stay here,"Duo asked.
"No,"Heero shook his head.
"What are we going to do then,"Duo asked.
"Going up,"Heero said pointing up into the tree they were crouched by.
"I can't climb,"Duo whispered loudly.
"I'll help you.Now lets go before the scouts hear us,"Heero said standing back up.
"Heero,"Duo said looking up into the tree.
"It's easy.Take my hand.I'll give you a lift to the first branch,"Heero said.
"If I fall and break my neck I'm blaming you,"Duo said as Heero boosted him up to the first branch.
"Now climb,"Heero whispered climbing up to a different branch.
"Ok,"Duo nodded grabbing another branch and pulling himself up onto it.
"It's not so hard is it,"Heero asked as they started climbing a little faster.
"Not when you think of what my parents will do,"Duo said pulling himself onto another branch.
"Just a little farther then we'll stop,"Heero said stepping onto a more sturdier branch.
"This isn't so bad,"Duo said.
"Told you.We'll stop here,"Heero said sitting down on a branch.
"Woah,"Duo gasped.
"Don't look down,"Heero said.
"Too late,"Duo said sitting down shakily onto the branch he was standing on.
"If you get dizzy just hold onto something,"Heero said.
"Alright,"Duo nodded.
"Better,"Heero asked.
"Yeah,but where's Trowa,"Duo asked.
"Talking to the scouts.They caught us while we were sleeping.They didn't seem to notice me so I slipped away while they talked to Trowa,"Heero said.
"They'll take him back to the villiage!Then I won't know where to go,"Duo said.
"I don't think they will.He said he was traveling alone to visit Quatre,"Heero said.
"They might leave him alone then.I hope cause I don't know where Surisea is,"Duo said looking over to Heero.
"If they do take him I'm sure we can find away,"Heero said,glancing back at Duo.
"You'd stay with me,"Duo asked.
"I told my parents I'd escort you and I intend to,"Heero said.
"Thanks,"Duo smiled.
"You guys can come down now,"Trowa said at the base of the tree.
"I don't know if I can,"Duo said.
"It's just like getting up,but...backwards,"Heero said as he started to climb down.
"I can't monkey boy,"Duo growled,hating to be way up in the tree.
"Look just hold onto the branch you're sitting on.Put your feet on the closest branch and repeat the process,"Heero said stopping and watching Duo.
"I feel like an idiot,"Duo sighed doing as told.
"You're doing fine,"Heero said continuing down the tree.
"Whatever.......woah!Heero,"Duo yelled as he slipped and held onto the branch.
"Hold on Duo!I'm coming,"Heero said climbing around the tree to where Duo was hanging.
"Hurry,"Duo whimpered closing his eyes.
"It's ok.I've got you,"Heero said wrapping his arms around Duo's waist.
"I hate trees,"Duo said clinging onto Heero like a life line.
"It's ok.I won't let you fall,"Heero said tilting Duo's head back.
"Get me out of this thing,"Duo said.
"Ok...Hold on to me and I'll get us down,"Heero said.
"Alright,"Duo said tighening his hold around Heero's neck.
"Be careful Heero,"Trowa yelled from the base.
"I am,"Heero said as he slowly climbed down the tree.
"Almost there Duo,"Heero said stepping onto the last branch.
"Really,"Duo asked raising his head from where it rested against Heero's chest.
"Woah.Duo,"Heero wailed as he and Duo fell off the last branch.Heero landing on his back with Duo sraddling his stomach.
"That was fun let's do it again,"Duo giggled.
"How about not,"Heero groaned.
"Party pooper,"Duo smiled kissing Heero's nose.
"Ok you two.Break it up.We should get moving before the scouts realize I was lying about traveling alone,"Trowa said slinging a shoulder bag at Duo.
"Alright,"Duo sighed getting up off of Heero and offering a helping hand.
"Remind me to listen to you next time you say you can't climb,"Heero said taking Duo's out streached hand.
"Next time you should listen,"Duo smiled putting the shoulder bag's strap over his head and wrapping an arm around Heero's waist.
"Quite ready,"Trowa asked.
"Quite,"Heero nodded.
"Lead the way oh great leader,"Duo laughed.
"This is going to be one long trip,"Trowa sighed as he started leading the way through the woods.
