Shattered Glass
Chapter 1
I can't take this anymore,thought Duo. Why is it that every time I do something right,Heero does something wrong? Oh god. I can't walk...much further...
He touched his wound that was hurting him. It was a bullet wound in his right shoulder. The heat was hoter than ever,and Duo was trying to get to Quatre's house.
"Oh god. Oh god. Can't walk...much further."
"Duo?!"said a voice. "D-Duo?!"it was Quatre. He ran to the God of Death right before his knees touched the ground. "My god. What happened? Speak to me Duo!"
"Bullet wound...right shoulder."
Quatre opened Duo's vest and looked at the wound. Yep,it's a bullet wound,he thought. But I wondered who did this.
"Duo,speak to me. Who did this?"
"H-H-Heero..."
Out of all people,Heero had to do this,he thought. But why the hell would he do this?
"But why?"
"I-I-I...dunno Quatre..."
He's gotta get to a hospital. But I wonder where the nearest one his, he thought.
"Quatre,what happened to Duo?!"it was Trowa.
"It's a bullet wound Trowa. He said Heero did it. And it doesn't look like he can hold out much longer. We have to hurry and get him to a hospital."
"How long would that take?"
"Probably about 10 minutes. I don't think he can hold out much though."
"I don't care. I'm getting him to a hospital now. C'mon. Help me with me and get him into the van. We can probably make it."
"Ok,"he took Duo by the legs and helped Trowa hall him in the van. In about 30 seconds later they left the parking lot.
"Why would Heero do such a thing?"asked Quatre.
"Knowing the person he is. I'm not surprised he did this to Duo."
"But they were just about to become friends."
"Let me tell you something Quatre. Heero doesn't have friends."
"I know. But what if Duo finally got through his head,and told him what friends really are?"
"That would be a maricle. Heero's one tough person Quatre. I don't think Duo could get to his senses that quick. Knowing him..."
Duo let out a painful groan. He had no idea where he was,and the bullet wound was starting to get worse.
"Duo? Please speak to me Duo!"yelled Quatre.
"Shhh...let him rest Quatre. He'll be ok."
"I'm sorry Trowa. I'm just so worried about him. I don't want him to... well,you know."
"Yes Little Angel. I know what you mean. But Duo's a strong person. He's going to be ok. Ahh,we're here."
He sped into the parking lot and they picked Duo up,and ran into the hospital.
"What the hell is taking them so long?"Quatre asked,pissed. Trowa looked at him,surprised that he ever heard Quatre say that in his whole life. He looked at Trowa. "Oh,I'm sorry. I just wish they would hurry up."
"Quatre Rarababa Winner?"asked the nurse. He stood up.
"Yes?"
"Duo would like to see you. His room is the second to the right."
"Thank you."
He rushed into the room,only to see a much worse Duo Maxwell.
"D-D-Duo?"
"Hey buddy."
He eyes started to fill with tears. "My god. You're ok!"
"Yeah,I'll hold out. The bullet wound wasn't much I guess. But Heero's really gonna get it when I get out of here."
He let out a little laugh. "Why did he do it?"
"You should go ask Heero. I don't know why,"he let out a painfull little groan.
"Oh."
"But hey,I'm gonna be ok,alright?"
"Yeah,I know."
"You worry too much Quatre. Trust me. You don't need to worry about me. The God of Death is gonna be around for a long time. I just need to get my strength back."
"That's true. I just don't want you to leave me."
"I'm not going to Quatre. You can count on that."
He smiled. "Thanks Duo. I don't know what I'd do without you. I might go crazy again."
"Naw. I doubt it,"another painful groan. "Damn bullet wound. I have no idea why Heero would do such a thing. But the it really pisses me off that he did it."
"Please don't tell me you were in his way again,"said Wufei as he walked in the room.
"Wufei? What are you doing here?"
"Seeing the person who was acting stupid and almost got killed by another bullet wound. You're lucky enough he didn't kill you."
"Yeah,and just because it wasn't you doesn't mean you can come in and laugh at me just because you think I was in Heero's way. Well you wanna know something,I DON'T HAVE A DAMN REASON WHY HE DID IT! I have no idea why he did it in the first place Wufei. So you might as well shut the hell up. Got it?"
"Ok...fine."
Duo let out a painful groan,which made Wufei a bit worried. He turned to Quatre.
"Quatre,can you please come outside?"he asked.
"Sure Wufei."
"Thanks. I'll be right back Duo."
"That's fine with me,"he said. And they left the room.
"How long has he been like this?"Wufei asked as soon as they were out of the room.
"A couple of hours. He doesn't have a clue why Heero did this though. So please don't ask me."
"I know. Where did the bullet him?"
"And why are you caring about him so much,"it was Heero.
"Heero...why did you shoot Duo?"asked Quatre.
"What? Duo told you that I shot him?"
"Yep,"said Trowa.
"I know who did it. And I swear it wasn't me. Just listen to me."
"Alright."
"I was looking for the Wing Zero earlier this morning,and I noticed it wasn't there..."he paused.
"Continue."
"I went looking for it all afternoon,and I had no idea where it was until I saw it in the park,but I know it wasn't Duo. The blood was already there by the time I got there,and he was gone. But I'm guessing one of the engineers did it."
"Oh. I'm sorry Heero,"said Quatre.
"I would never wanna try to kill Duo unless he got in my way. And he didn't,ok?"
"That was a good reason,"said Wufei. "What time did you get to the park?"
"About 4:15. You guys were already gone,like I said. What time did you guys leave?"
"About 3:15,"said Trowa. "You saw blood stains?"
"Yes. I already told you that."
"Alright. He's innocent."
"But how do you know?"Wufei whispered.
"Because Heero wouldn't do it. You heard what he said. So drop it Wufei."
"Ok,ok. Fine. I just wonder what Duo's gonna do when he finds out."
"Well,we'll just to see,won't we?"
"You mean you didn't do it?"Duo asked after Heero told him the whole story.
"I already told you Duo. I wasn't even with you when it happened. How could I have killed you if we weren't even in the same place at the same time?"
"I'm sorry Heero. I just couldn't remember anything."
"It's alright Duo. Just get some rest,"he bent over and kissed Duo on the forehead,then left.
"So,how did it go?"Quatre asked Heero as he shut the door to Duo's room.
"It went just fine. It's a good thing he didn't try to kill me or anything. Then he would've gotten it."
"So I'm guessing he believed you then,"said Trowa. "That's good."
"Yeah. We'll I'd better go."
"Where are you going Heero?"asked Quatre. "Out to fight again?"
"No. I'm going to find the person who tried to kill Duo and kill him. That'll be my payback toward Duo."
"But Heero,let us help you!"
"No Quatre,"said Trowa as he pulled Quatre's arm. "Let Heero handle this. He's gotta good point on why he wants to kill this guy."
Quatre looked him in the eye. "But Trowa..."
"He'll be alright Little Angel. You know he can do this. Just let him do it on his own. He'll be fine Quatre."
"Oh...alright."
He turned to Heero. "Heero..."
"Hmmm?"he asked.
"Good luck."
"Thanks Trowa,"and he left.
