Chapter 2

On the ride home, in the limo that Quatre had sent them in; Wufei fell asleep in Heero's lap, Heero had his arms wrapped around him. Trowa gently petted Wufei's hair through out the ride home.

"He's looks like a child when he's asleep..." Trowa said. "Quatre will be taller than him."

"Well, what do you expect; he hasn't been eating well at all." Heero said. "Let's just be happy we got him out of there."

Trowa nodded.

After a few minutes; Wufei started doing something strange; he started shaking violently and screaming.

Trowa and Heero didn't know what to do at first; until they notice, Wufei was still asleep.

"Wufei, Wufei, wake up!" Heero yelled.

At Heero's yelling; Wufei screamed louder. Trowa noticed this.

"Don't yell Heero, it's just going to make everything worse." Trowa said as he took Wufei from Heero's lap onto his.

"Wufei, Wufei, wake up, please, wake up, it's only a dream..." Trowa said into Wufei's ear. Trowa rocked back and forth with Wufei in his arms, praying that he'd wake up soon.

Heero helped out.

"Wufei, you are no longer in that awful place; you're going home..." Heero said. "You're safe now..."

The screams subsided and the shaking subsided a little; Wufei slowly opened his eyes, tears rushing from them.

"Shhh, shhh, it was only a dream..." Trowa cooed to Wufei. "Everything's alright now..." Trowa brushed Wufei's hair out of his eyes with his fingers.

Wufei clung onto Trowa, while looking at Heero.

"Are you okay now?" Heero asked softly.

Wufei nodded slightly.

The limo came to a stop slowly; Heero looked out the window.

"We're home..." Trowa said.

Heero got out of the limo and rushed to the other side; he opened the door and let Trowa out; Trowa held Wufei in his arms.

Wufei's eyes lit up when he saw how huge the mansion was. His eyes looked so innocent, like a child's eyes; curiosity flashed in them.

Heero and Trowa walked up the steps to the mansion; where both Duo and Quatre waited for the arrival of their friend.


"Do you think he's going to be alright?" Quatre asked his lover as he paced back and forth in the living room.

"We'll just have to wait and see." Duo said. "And stop walking back and forth, you're making me dizzy!"

Quatre stopped and looked at Duo.

Just then, the door was heard being opened.

"I think they're here." Duo said.

Quatre sat down on the couch; looking to the entrance of the living room to see who was coming.

"Is anyone home?" Heero's voice hollered.

"We're in here!" Duo and Quatre yelled back in union.

Heero came through the entrance first; then the most unexpected sight came when Trowa rounded the corner.

Duo and Quatre's eyes widened.

Heero gave them a little glare.

"Well, aren't you two going to say hello to him?" Heero asked; a little peeved. He expected that to happen, he just didn't know it would annoy him.

Trowa slowly walked over with the two; Wufei was looking at the two with wide eyes, his arms wrapped tightly around Trowa's neck. When Trowa got to the couch; he slowly sat down and had Wufei on his lap.

"Do you remember them?" Trowa asked Wufei softly.

Wufei wagged his head no.

"You don't remember us?" Duo asked a little hurt.

Wufei buried his head into Trowa's shoulder.

"Don't worry, we're to help you Wufei." Quatre said. "I'm Quatre..."

"And I'm Duo..." Duo said.

Wufei looked at the two for a moment; before the phone rang, which made Wufei jump slightly.

"I'll get that." Quatre said. "It's probably the company..."

Quatre got up and rushed to the kitchen.

Wufei's attention turned to Trowa's bang. He tried to catch it in his hand; but Trowa moved before he could touch it. Wufei pouted and tried again; Trowa kept ducking out of the way of Wufei's hand, a smile was at his lips.

Heero and Duo looked on in shock; Wufei was acting like a total child. But a smile came to their lips also; they couldn't help but smile at the sight.

Quatre came back into the living room; looking a little angry. But when he saw the sight of two of his best friends; the slight frown he had turned into a smile.

But a question lingered in all of their minds, 'how much has Wufei really changed?'

A few moments later; Wufei finally caught Trowa's bang. A gleeful giggle came from him; Trowa let out a little chuckle, then tackled Wufei with a tickle attack.

Wufei was giggling uncontrollably and trying to wiggle out of Trowa's grasp; Trowa tickled him all the way to the point were tears came to Wufei's eyes.

"We need to clean him up." Trowa said pulling Wufei into a hug. "Quatre, would you mind if we use one of your pajamas."

"They won't be a complete fit, but okay." Quatre said. "I'm not going to be able to be around to help; the company needs me."

Trowa nodded and stood up with Wufei in his arms.

"I'm going to go with Quatre; you two take care of Wufei." Duo said.

Heero and Trowa nodded.

A moment later; Duo and Quatre went out the door to the company; and Heero, Trowa, and Wufei went upstairs to one of the bathrooms.


When they got to the bathroom; Heero drew the water for the bath, which left Trowa to discard Wufei's torn up, dirty, smelly, rags.

When Trowa tried to remove Wufei's shirt; Wufei started squirming, trying to get out of Trowa's grasp again. Trowa let out a heavy sigh; and looked at the now scared Wufei.

"Wufei...please trust me." Trowa whispered. "I'm not going to hurt you. We just need to clean you up."

Wufei looked at Trowa for a moment; his eyes still uncertain. But, reluctantly, Wufei lifted up his arms.

Trowa smiled slightly and pulled Wufei's shirt off. Before the shirt was off, there were a few visible cuts and bruises; but when it was taken off, Trowa saw that Wufei's body was littered with wounds. A small gasp came from Trowa; Heero looked to see what Trowa was gasping about and his eyes widened.

Wufei felt embarrassed, so he slouched his shoulders, wrapped his arms around his body and looked at the floor. The others realized their staring scared Wufei.

"Sorry Wufei..." Trowa whispered before placing a kiss on Wufei's forehead. "Are you ready?"

Wufei nodded and stood up. Trowa slowly pulled off Wufei's underwear; anger boiled in both Trowa and Heero when they saw that blood caked Wufei's thighs. Wufei started shaking slightly; his eyes had tears in them as memories on what caused the wound and blood came washing over him.

Trowa stood up and pulled Wufei into a hug. Wufei brought his arms up around Trowa neck and let his tears fall.

"The bath is ready." Heero said.

Trowa picked up Wufei into his arms again and slowly brought him to the warm bath. Slowly he lowered Wufei into the water. Wufei looked at his two friends uncertainly, not really know what was going on. Heero had put bubbles into the water, so now the full tub was flowing with bubbles.

Heero took a sponge and squeezed some fruit scented soap in it; gently, he soaped Wufei. Trowa had shampoo; he put a generous amount in his hand and started washing out Wufei's hair. Wufei was distracted by the bubbles.

All in all, this bath took probably an hour. Even after Heero and Trowa were done cleaning Wufei; Wufei didn't want to get out.

"C'mon little one, you can get another bubble bath later." Trowa said. "Right now, we have to get you ready for Sally."

Wufei looked at Trowa, his eyes asking, 'who's Sally?'

Heero answered.

"Sally is a good friend of ours; she's also a good friend of yours too." Heero said. "She's a doctor and she's going to give you a little home check up."

"Please come out of the water now little one, please?" Trowa asked nicely.

Wufei pouted again, but did as he was asked. He stood up; Heero pulled the plug out of the tub; Wufei watched in amazement as the water drained. Trowa wrapped a towel around his waist and helped Wufei out of the tub.

When Wufei was out; Heero and Trowa dried him off.

"Do you think we should dress him in here; or should we dress him in his room?" Trowa asked.

"Let's dress him in his room." Heero said. "He's going to need to get comfortable in his room anyway."

"Come on little one..." Trowa said. "We need to get you dressed." He held onto Wufei's hand and led him out of the bathroom.

Heero followed close behind.


When they arrived in the bedroom; Quatre's pajamas were already folded neatly on the bed. Wufei looked around, wondering what the room was for.

Trowa walked over to the bed and took the pajamas; he helped Wufei get dressed. With in a matter of minutes Wufei was on his lap trying to tug on his bang again.

"When do you think Sally is coming?" Heero asked as he sat down on the bed.

"She said that she would be here at five or five-thirty." Trowa said while ducking and swatting at Wufei's hand.

Wufei continued on with their little game; then it started raining and he looked out the window. He looked at Heero for an answer as to what was going on outside.

"That's rain..." Heero said. "Don't you remember that?"

Wufei shook his head and looked at the window again. Then, all of a sudden, a huge bang of thunder came.

Wufei let out a loud shriek and clutched onto Trowa for dear life.

This made Heero laugh his ass off. Trowa glared at him.

"Heero quit it!" Trowa snapped. "He's had a tough time at the prison; he doesn't need you laughing at him!"

"I-I'm sorry..." Heero said, his laughter dying down. "It's just that, I never expected Wufei to ever do that."

Trowa pried Wufei's death grip from around his neck; Wufei was crying again.

"Shhh...shhh...it's alright..." Trowa cooed to Wufei as he hugged him. "It's only thunder."

After a few minutes; Wufei's crying stopped; and the doorbell rang.

To be continued...
