Secrets A Maxwell Keeps

Chapter Five: Posion

By: Shadow Starshooter

Two weeks had passed from the time Duo had met with the shadowed figure. in that time he and Jenny had all most killed each other. He knew all about her. She was one of the students working for OZ. Still they clamed down and talked it out. Friends again. He didn't think Jenny knew anything about him. Next there was Heero. He and Duo were to act as a couple but Heero couldn't do it. Finnaly Duo had gotten on his nerves enought that Heero punched him in front of the whole campus. Duo made a convincing act that they were through.

Duo laid in his room. His hands behind his head as her staired up at the celing. Once again he was trapped by a promise he had made. Promises can't be broken. He rolled over and staired out the window. The door slamed and someone hung a peice of paper in his face.

"I have something to cheer you up Donna." Jenny said in a singing voice.

"Heero said he was sorry." Duo sat up to look at her.

Scoffing she crossed her arms. "No. I don't know what you see in that abuser." She pawed over it and then smiled again. "Ok back to the fun part. James Samson you know the QB on the football team?" Duo nodded. "Well he's having a party and we're invited!"

Whoopie Duo rolled his eyes. "That's great!" He sounded really happy. "when is it?"

"Tonight!" Duo froze he was goinging to talk to Heero about what had happened. Jenny dropped down beside him. "Listen James really wants you to be there. So we both have to go all right." Duo smiled and nodded. I'll just talk to Heero another time. Four hours later Heero was face to face with the door to Samson's house. He had waited for Duo for Two hours before going to look for him. Rumor around campus was that Duo was Samson's girl now. So he had gone straight to his house. Heero opened the door. The music was intense. It smelt of boozes. As he pushed though the crowd he could suddenly hear Duo. A coulpe of girl grabbed Heero's arm. He glared at them.

"Come on I know you want some. Your girlfriend left ya two weeks ago and you need some really bad."

He didn't hit they he just pulled away. Heero followed Duo's whoops and howlers to find the polit drunker that all get out and dancing really nasty with Samson. Heero walked over and grabbed Duo's shirt.

"What do you think your doing?" He hissed.

"Having a good time." Duo yelled. "Relax have a beer." Duo thrust the one he had into Heero's hand.

"Ok we are leaving."

"I don't want to go."

"Well you're going anyways."

A hand fell on Heero's shoulder. "She dosen't want to go with you now get lost." It was Samson. Heero wasn't in the mood to deal with this crap. He brought his fist up into Samson's jaw. The football player fell back to the floor.

"We're leaving now!" Heero growled dragging the drunken Duo out to the car. Herro started up the car and spead away.

"Duo what were you thinking? Samson might have noticed something about you that most girl's don't have. An where were you tonight? You said we had something to talk about." Heero looked over. Duo was asleep. He thought he was.

Pulling over Heero checked Duo's paulse. It was faster than normal. His breathing was a little ragged. It was strange. He wasn't sure how much Duo had drank. He still could see Duo danceing with Samson and knew he had to be drunk off is ass to do it. Heero started driving towards a hospital. He wasn't taking any chances. Heero began to talk.

"Duo I'm sorry I hit you. Not just the last time but all the times. You've never complained about it but this last time I saw the pure terror of me in your eyes. I need you to be ok. I don't know why but I just do. Hold on Duo."

Duo moaned softly. Pain had engulfed his body and his eyes opened slightly. He turned to face Heero. The perfect solider could see the pain and fear in Duo's eyes. "I...I...I'm going to die Heero. I don't want to die." Duo laid across the seat his knees pulled to his chest.

Heero staired at the trembleing Maxwell. He reached in the back and brought a blanket up. Wrapping it around Duo Heero pulled him closer. "Just stay with me Duo, alright? I won't let you die." Duo leaned into Heero's protective hold. It was strange but He didn't mind. Heero slamed on the brakes and picked up Duo. He carried the shaking, sweating boy into the hospital. Three nurses and a doctor took Duo and left a worried Heero.

As Time past Heero felt his heart pain. Why am I so worried about him now. I mean three months ago I was a cold as I ever was but then something happened. Duo started looking at me differently. He always blushed when I was around. He seamed weak and helpless not like the god of death. Heero froze. Death. Normaly it didn't bother him but now, now Duo might be dieing and he wasn't sure why.

Almost and hour later Heero finnaly called the others and told them about Duo. They were coming as soon as they got around. As he wandered down the halls a hand fell on his shoulder. Turning Heero staired at the face of a doctor.

"Are you Heero Yuy?" Heero nodded. He didn't want to speak. "Your friend is inroom 204. It was lucky you got her here. It looks like she had injested posion."

"So Duo's going to be ok?" The doctor nodded. Heero took off running towards the room. Something seamed strange the doctor had refered to Duo as her and she. Couldn't he tell Duo was a guy. He found the room and opened the door. Here lay Duo. He still had the fake cleavege on. Maybe the doctor only had to do a stomach pump and didn't remove anything. Heero sat down next to the bed. Duo was breathing normaly. Taking his hand Heero smiled looking into his eyes.

"Heero. Thank you." Duo whispered his voice gental. His eyes shut and he fell asleep.
