Pairing: Implied past 1x2, future 1x3

Author's Note: Okay, here's Heero's part to the previous chapter. I don't think I'll really have to do this in the future since they'll be on the same ship, but oh well. Let me know what you think of this!

Chapter Six pt. 2

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Heero stared at Duo in disbelief. Duo smiled at Heero's obvious discomfort. "You see Yuy, we're no different. You kill, I enslave. Either way they die sooner or later, why not sooner?" Duo asked.

The swords locked again and Duo's eyes danced as he watched Heero. Oh yes Yuy, he thought, you're exactly like me. And you know it. You've known it for a few years now, haven't you?

Heero jerked away, backing up until he was against the wall. Duo smirked as he advanced slowly on Heero, his braid swinging back and forth slowly. "Duo...Why didn't you tell me they were the slaves?"

"Would it have made a difference? They would have killed you anyway. You saved yourself, just keep thinking that," Duo answered. He walked forward until he was an arm's width away from Heero. Then with a small smile he reached forward and brushed Heero's bangs out of his face. "You always were unruly," he murmured.

A yelp followed the statement as Heero grabbed a dagger and sliced Duo's hand. "Remember Duo. We're in a battle."

"But what about the past?" Duo demanded.

"It's exactly what you said it was. The past, nothing more. We moved on, now... On guard!" Heero advanced and extended, watching as Duo gasped, falling back. He ran up the stairs to the deck and disappeared amoung the fray of fighting.

Heero followed slowly. Watching all shadows and listening intently for sounds of

his prey. He found Duo a few feet from the door. He was fighting with Anna and Heero glared at him. He grabbed Duo's shoulder, spinning him around and then driving his sword forward. Duo screamed as he staggered backwards, flailing his sword aroung.

Heero pulled his sword from Duo's abdomen and shoved Duo backward. As Duo fell down the stair to the cabins below his sword caught Heero's cheek and side, then he was over and crashing down the stairs. The cobalt-eyed captain followed Duo down, making sure not to step in the spattered blood.

There was a youth on the stairs. All that was able to be seen of him were his emerald eyes. Heero leveled his pistol a the youth's forehead. "Move and I'll shoot. Drop the sword. Good, now, tell me, what is yer name?" Heero asked.

"Trowa. Trowa Barton," the youth answered.

"And what is yer business upon this ship?"

"I was taken from Port Silver and was forced into slavery for the captain," Trowa answered, gesturing to the man below him. "And I worked with them," he added, gesturing to the dead slaves by the stair. "Shoot me now if you wish, I'll die sooner or later anyway."

Heero smiled, chuckled a little as well. He shook his head and looked at Trowa. "Come then, you have no need to stay here if you are but a prisoner. My name is Heero Yuy. I give you the chooice, come with me and I shall take you to land, or have me kill you here. What will it be?"

Trowa looked at him in shock and Heero's smirk widened. He saw that Trowa

looked uncertain and he sighed. Trowa seemed to pick up on his impatience and

hesataintly answered: "I'll come with you. But only if you promise not to kill me or leave me on a deserted island."

"Done. Come along Mr. Barton, we shall have you taken care of immediately." And with that Heero turned on his heel and walked away, if Trowa wanted to come he'd have to follow, or stab him...
