Hilde quickly gulps when she after she says that and looks at him carefully for any sign of danger and slowly moves her hand as she sees a spark of anger in his eyes and regret. Hilde slowly stands up and looks at him and says "Duo...."

'Damn it' he curse silently in his head as he pales and looks up at her knowing what he was supposed to do if ANY one found out what who or what he did. "We are not evil we fight for the colonies. I'm sorry if you think that we are like that but truthfully we are no different than you with our feelings.." Duo looks down and slowly stands up and reaches to a concealed pocket in his shirt where his gun has been and is always placed, but stops and looks at her quietly, and then says "Hilde..?"

Hilde who had been watching his hand move looks at him and says "Ya, Duo?" When she looks at Duo in the eyes she can see that something, something she can't under but wants to desperately.

"Hilde do you know what happens when someone finds out the identity?" Duo sighs as he sees her shake her head so he murmurs "We are supposed to kill them..." and he looks away from her.

Hilde gulps and says "Duo that means your supposed to kill me doesn't it?" Her eyes water slightly as she backs away from him slightly scared and maybe even a little hurt even though she refuses to let her self think that as a single tear rolls down her cheek and leaves a moist path behind it.

"Hilde.. stop, don't cry, please don't cry" Duo takes a few steps towards her but when she backs up against the wall with fear and hurt written in her eyes, the weird thing is he couldn't understand is why he felt as if his heart was ripped apart.

When Duo stops for a moment Hilde stares at him with a look of regret, pain, and lose for a second wondering what he was think. She then makes a run for the door as she thinks to herself 'Every time I trust some one I always have to be hurt.' She hears behind her "Hilde stop please, DAMN IT HILDE STOP!" As her hand grasps the door knob to open it she hears Duo jump at her and she sees the palm of his hands land firmly against the door holding it shut. She could feel his breathe coming against her neck as she stiffens up slightly tears starting to fall faster down her cheeks in fear of what will happen next.

Duo consumed in his thoughts fails to notice how Hilde was staring at him. Though once Hilde made her run at the door Duo looks up and starts to chase after her while yelling "Hilde stop please, DAMN IT HILDE STOP!" Once he jumps gets to her he slams the door shut so she can't get out. "Hilde just listen to me please good lord turn around and look at me" Duo watches her reluctantly and slowly turn around. Once she turns around Duo feels a sharp ping of pain at what he sees. Duo silently thinks 'how could I do this to her I promised her I would protect her..' "Hilde..." Duo murmurs as he slowly reaches out his hand to whip away her tears.

Hilde stiffens when she hears Duo's request but sense she had no chance at escape she decides she should just do what she was asked to do. So she slowly turns around tears still streaming down her cheeks, pain, anguish, and fear evident in her eyes. Hilde is very scared indeed knowing if she had to go up against him in fighting she would lose terribly unless she had help, also she didn't want to have to fight him.. even though she didn't want to admit it she had started to like him.. When duo reaches his hand out to touch her she backs up against the door terrified while flinching slightly and still crying.

Duo winces when she backs away from him and says in a pleading tone "Hilde..., please, please stop there is no need to be afraid of me please Hilde.. please..." Duo falls to his knees while he looks like he is about to start crying and says "Hilde I'm sorry I didn't mean to scare you" his voice cracks slightly.

Hilde looks at him starting to get confused because he seems so upset at the fact that she is scared of him and now he has fallen to his knees crying. Hilde stares at him in silence trying not to feel bad for him and resisting the urge to hug him and try to comfort him by thinking well he was the one trying to kill me!! Finally, Hilde decides to try to talk to him but before she can say anything at all the phone rings, she sighs slightly and looks at the phone.

Duo looks at the floor thinking 'damn it I lost my sister I wont lose Hilde too! I just can't I will die before that happens.' As Duo decides to try and break the silence he hears the phone ring and sighs inwardly think 'gawd damn who is it NOW.' Duo reluctantly gets up purposefully leaving his back turned towards her giving her the option to leave while he gets the phone. "Hello this is Duo Maxwell speaking."

"Hey Duo this is Heero we have a mission that we must leave for at 4:30 am tomorrow morning."

"Oh great." Duo sighs as he rolls his eyes. "I'll call you later this afternoon with the rest of the details for it. Ok?" he says not really as a question. "Fine whatever.." Duo says not really caring, and with that Duo notices out of the corner of his eye that Hilde was no longer where he left her so he guesses that she must of left. Duo slowly hangs up the phone and slumps down into a chair beside him and sighs holding his head in his hand.

As she watches Duo walk to the phone she sees he is not watching her and is also leaving the door open to her so she can leave. At first Hilde starts to walk to the door as she listens to Duo's voice. 'Wow he can really mask his pain up good.' she thinks. As Hilde arrives at the door she stops and stares at Duo. She sees him hang up the phone and half expects him to turn around and make sure you didn't leave, but instead she saw him slump down into a chair and hold his head with one hand. Hilde looks very confused at him and decides to see what is going on with him, so she walks towards him slowly. As Hilde nears she hears him murmur "Why did I do that I promised her I would protect her.. well not matter what happens I will protect her. I dunno why but I just wish she would of let me explain to her how I felt before she started to freak out but I can't blame her... I'm so sorry Hilde..." She stares at him mouth hanging open slightly as she tries to figure out how exactly he meant by how I felt. After a few moments she decides to let him know she is still there so she says "Duo?"

Duo sighs deeply as he sits there staring at the floor and he murmurs too himself "Why did I do that I promised her I would protect her.. well not matter what happens I will protect her. I dunno why but I just wish she would of let me explain to her how I felt before she started to freak out but I can't blame her... I'm so sorry Hilde..." Duo sits there in silence for a little while and jumps when he hears a female voice, the last one he was expecting to hear "Duo?". He turns his head to where the voice and looks up at Hilde slightly and gives her a crooked smile and starts to say something when his face turns to plane terror.
