Chapter 3
Things for Duo were getting better. The doctors got him transferred to a hospital in Colony D-457,which was off L5.
"Well,I guess you don't have to kill us now Trowa,"said Wufei.
"Well,let's just see how things go Wufei. You never know."
"I bet he'll do just fine,"said Heero. "Have you talked to Quatre yet?"
"He's in there with Duo right now."
"How long has he been there?"
"At least 15 minutes. I just hope things are going the way I planned they would."
"I'm just glad you're getting better Duo,"said Quatre.
"I guess Trowa knew what he was doing. You are never going to believe what the doctor said back at that old hospital."
"What?"
"That if I got transferred I might die."
"I'm just glad that didn't happen Duo. I wouldn't know what do without you."
"Hey,don't worry about me. I'll be fine."
"I'm glad Duo. Well,I'd better be going. Trowa might be getting worried. Please get better."
"Hey Quatre?"
"Yeah?"
"Tell Trowa I would like to see him. Can you do that?"
He smiled. "I'll tell him Duo."
"Thanks buddy."
"No problem,"and he shut the door.
"Well,how's Duo doing?"Trowa asked when Quatre got back to the waiting room.
"He's doing just fine. He wants to see you."
"I guess I will then. Do you might waiting here Quatre?"
"No,not at all."
"Alright. I'll be back soon,"and he left the room.
As Quatre waited,he wondered how Duo was doing at the moment. I'm just glad he's doing better,he thought. Duo means a lot to me as a friend. I don't know what I'd do if he died.
"Hey Duo,"Trowa said as he opened the door to Duo's room.
"Well,if it isn't the person who saved my life. What's up Trowa?"
"Not much Duo. I miss you."
"I miss you too Trowa."
"How's your wound?"
"Better. Much better since I got transferred here."
"So I hear."
"So,what's going to happen to the old hospital?"
"They got sued."
"By you?"
"No,by some other patient's husband. She died of a simple fever which her husband said she could've easily recovered from if she had been given the right medicine."
"My god. What stupid people."
"You said it."
"How much did they get sued for?"
"At least $125,000. But I think it should've been more."
"Just cause of what happened to that women?"
"No. Because at least 15 people have been killed from the doctors at that hospital. And I know Quatre would go nuts if you were one of those people. So I had to do something."
"Well,you did the right thing then. How did the Quatre get the news of me being transferred?"
"He was pretty happy about it. He knew you were going to pull through. You usually do."
"Well I'm the God of Death. I can pull through thing anything."
He smiled. "We're just glad you're going to be ok."
"And I'm glad for that. Quatre would hate it if I died."
"We all would Duo. Especially Heero."
"Heero? Naw. When did he starting caring about me anyways?"
"Oh,you'd be surprised Duo. He's probably more worried about you than Quatre is. You should've seen him in the waiting room."
"What did he look like?"
"He looked like he hadn't slept in weeks. He's been here for at least 5 days thinking of nothing but you."
"Well...tell him I would like to see him."
"Sure. I'll go get him right now,"and he left the room.
"Well,how's Duo?"asked Heero when Trowa got back to the waiting room.
"Good. He would like to see you."
"Are you serious?"
"When am I not Heero? You miss him like hell and you think I'm not serious?"
"I'm sorry. I guess it's because I haven't gotten enough sleep."
"You're worried about him too. That's a first. You're usually never worried about anyone. Why Duo?"
"Because he's like...of my best friend I guess."
"I'm sorry. Well,you'd better go and see him. I'm going to take Quatre home. Do you mind staying Wufei?"
"No,I don't mind."
"Good. Quatre,you ready to go?"he whispered in the sleepy Little Angel's ear.
"Hmmm?"he said as he tried to wake up. "Oh,yeah Trowa."
Trowa helped Quatre to his feet,and they left.
"Well,you might as well go,"Wufei said to Heero. "You don't have all day."
"Yeah,guess you're right,"and he left the room.
"Duo,you awake?"Heero asked as he opened the door to Duo's room.
"Yeah,I'm still awake Heero. I was wanting to see you."
"As Trowa told me. How are you doing?"
"I'm ok. My right shoulder is doing better. I have to get shots until I get better. But other than that,the God of Death is still alive and well."
"That's good. Do you mind if I touch your right shoulder,do you?"
"No."
"Why's that?"
"Because you possibly wouldn't try to kill me now. Especailly because we're in a hospital that has a lot of people in it. You wouldn't want to try to get caught here."
"You're getting way to smart Duo."
"Yeah,I know. Well,go ahead,touch it."
"Alright. If you want me too,"he took his right hand and glided it to Duo's right shoulder.
"Ok,I'm going to push down a little bit,and I want you to tell me where it hurts."
"Ok,what are you trying to do?!"
"Duo,it's ok. I'm not trying to kill you. You heard what I said. All I'm going to do is push down a bit--."
"And you want me to tell you where it hurts. Yeah,I heard ya."
"Ok. Now,you're going to have to help me here alright?"
"No problem."
"Alright,"he took his index finger and pushed a little on the bullet wound. "Did that hurt?"
Duo shook his head.
"Ok,"he moved his index finger a little bit to the right and pushed on it.
"OW!"Duo screamed
"So that's where it hurts. That seems very strange."
"What?"
"The bullet wound is actually to the right of where they thought the bullet hit you."
"And your point it?"
"That they put the cast on wrong."
"Oh god. Please don't tell me I have to get another one on. It was like hell getting the first one on."
"Don't worry about it. You'll be getting out of here soon anyways."
"I just hope you're right about that..."
Heero didn't say anything to that. He just stared out the window.
"Heero? Hello? Earth to Heero! Come in Heero Yuy!"
He put his finger on Duo's mouth. "Shhhh...Something isn't right."
Oh no,he thought. Please don't tell me it's another fleet of MSs. I don't want another war.
"It's a fire..."
"Huh?"
"There's a fire,south of here."
"And that's bad because....?"
"Quatre and Trowa were going that way. I have to go and see if they're alright."
"Go ahead."
"You sure?"
"Why not? They are our friends,are they not?"
He sighed. "You do have a point there."
"Go...before something happens. Take Wufei with you. I bet he's bored already."
"Ok,"and he left the room.
"How's Duo?"Wufei asked when Heero got back to the room.
"There isn't time for that."
"What do you mean?"
"There's a fire down south from here."
"And that is bad because...?"
"Trowa and Quatre were going that way to get home. We need to see if they were in it. Duo thought it would be a good idea if you would come with me."
"That's fine with me. Let's go,"and they ran out of the building.
Things for Duo were getting better. The doctors got him transferred to a hospital in Colony D-457,which was off L5.
"Well,I guess you don't have to kill us now Trowa,"said Wufei.
