The Child of Death

04: A Boy's Fear

"Duo everything ok?" Heero came into the hanger. It was the next morning and only Duo and Heero were awake. Duo poked his head out of the cockpit of DeathScythe Hell, face a little crimson.
"Yeah, um Heero take care of Koran while I'm gone." Duo's voice was un-easy as well as his mind. This was something he never thought he'd talk to Heero about.
"Where're you going?"
"I have a mission."
"Does he know?"
"Yes"
"Is he ok with this?"
"..."
"Duo?"
"Geez, what's with the questions, talkative today aren't we? Look what I'm trying to say is be kinds...Ah forget it watch him till I get back, and I'll tell you why I chose you to watch him."
"How long?"

"4 days."
"Don't get killed, you're the only thing he has. He cried himself to sleep. I thought it was bout Roku but now I know." Duo went back into the cockpit and shut it. His eyes were about to give way. Why now? He was almost gone why couldn't they wait a little while longer.
"Duo?" The com wanted to come on but Duo locked it.
Heero watched from the ground as Deathscythe Hell flew up. This mission for Duo was going to take a lot and Heero knew it.
"Heero? Who left?" Trowa looked in and saw the shadow Gundam gone.
"What's his mission?"
"Don't know didn't tell me, all he told me was a 4 day mission. And to watch over Koran," Heero walked out feeling his stomach awaken. Trowa fallowed behind also feeling the awakening to.
Three hours past and by 9 o' clock everyone was up but Koran. Quatre right away feared but Heero wanted to give Koran a few more hours before having a talk with him.
"So did you find the mission," Asked an angry Wufei.
"Yeah it's a 4 day infiltration," Answered Heero.
"It fit's Duo's good at that." Trowa looked away from his coffee and at Wufei.
"Also thievery," The voice was low and everyone looked at Quatre. Who looked a little taken back?
"How do you know?" Asked Trowa, Quatre now stared dumb founded.
"I know because I read the report." When Quatre's mouth didn't move with the words they all turned to find Koran who was looking for something to eat from the fridge.
"It has to do with mine and the 8th Gundam." Koran grabbed the mink and want over the counter.
"8th Gundam?" Everyone was shocked at the fact there was to be an 8th.
"Yep, so far for DeathScythe Hell, There is my brother Gundam, my mom's sister Gundam..."
"Kise's the second sister Gundam?" Koran didn't answer. Heero began typing looking for more information.
"They'll pull your whole family in won't they?" Trowa's voce was soft, which gave Koran a slight chill.
"Going to watch T.V now," He walked lout while the others stayed in the kitchen.
"NO serial numbers have been released, both Gundam's are incomplete. Koran's will be finished in three days but it will need thermal crystals. A total of 12, Wait if they ran out of crystals, and Duo's getting more, then shouldn't he get 24 because of Kise's Gundam?" Heero's voice shook in all of that. Duo's mission was giving him the creeps.
"Duo will get out no problem." Wufei has spoken, but the way he had spoken scared the three. Maybe it was the fact that he said Duo instead of Maxwell.
