A/N: Wow... Less than a month.. must be a record for me.. Though I shall admit that I had lots of help from my beta and best friend Panther's Tear on this one. gives PT a round of Applause I also thanke her for all the credit and support she gives me every chapter in her fic Insidious Dreams. (I am Sam, I am.) So I would like to dedicate this chapter to her and all of her hard work. Another bit of good news is I am going to go back and update my previous chapters to accomodate my new pov separation system.

Next thing, review response time:

Raven's Light: Well two chapters where I haven't bugged you... Must be a miracle, ne?

duo23: Ahh, yes.. My poor warped mind has inflicted such a cruel twist upon our dearest Duo.

sYnergY's Duality: I have updated yet again. And yes.. He could be....

RikoRishodeathangeloflight: Yup. Seems that way. I am so mean... And yes.. That's always been my tactic of choice, and Relena is evil. But I shall hopefully smite her with the powers that be.

Weissangel24: Everyone seems to think that.. Am I truly so mean that everyone pities him?

AnimeOnna: Okiday. I won't tell you. Actually They might not.. I have yet to decide..

With that done.. On to the fic!

Chapter 15:

When Duo fled from me after his nightmare I became worried. What had he dreamt about that frightened him so? Fear writhing in the pit of my stomach, I rose and started to follow him when I felt Trowa place his hand on my shoulder. I looked at him and he just gently shook his head as if to say, 'leave him be for now.' I nodded slowly and turned my gaze back in the direction in which my beautiful death angel had disappeared and let out a small sigh. "Oh Duo..."

No.. I thought. Wu's like a brother to me. I can't love him. I love Heero.... Then why am I here and not with him? I was confused, so I decided to stop thinking about it for the moment and just accept the comfort that I needed and Wu was offering. I laid my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes letting the sound of his voice wash over and calm me.

"Feeling better, Maxwell?" He asked me about half an hour later. I nodded and opened my eyes looking at him. "Yeah... Thanks 'Fei." I smiled at him. "Of course," he smiled back. It was a small smile, but a smile nonetheless, and Chang Wu Fei rarely smiles. "Now tell me what had you so upset?" He asked, his face taking on a calm yet worried expression.

I looked around his room nervously for a moment before nodding. "I..." I started uneasily. "I had a bad dream." I admitted looking down at his shirt, now held loosely in my hands. "About what?" He asked, gently encouraging me to continue.

"Heero..." I answered.

I grinned to myself as I listened to that street urchin talk to Wu Fei Chang. Anybody who knew Duo Maxwell would tell you that despite his cheerful and friendly exterior he is an insecure individual who needs love and stability in his life.

And listening to his conversation with the former pilot of Gundam 05 one could easily see that the Chinese man has feelings for the street rat and that he had feelings for the Chinese man in return. This may be to my advantage..I thought.

That's when I heard the parasite say that he had dreamt about Heero killing him. I smirked. Hmm.. If I can convince him and Wu Fei that Heero IS going to kill the worthless brat Wu Fei and the others will confront Heero while the useless waif turns tail and runs.. By the time that they realize that he's run and find him.. It'll be too late..

Still grinning to myself I left the door to Wu Fei's room and returned to my chamber to get some rest.

---

He had dreamt of his one true love killing him.. it had to be shocking and considering Maxwell's past... it would have been absolutely crushing. No wonder he had come to me weeping like that. Now the only thing I had left to wonder about was what had Yuy done to make Maxwell have such a horrendous dream? If he had threatened or struck our angel of death... so help me I would kill him.

---

I watched Relena carefully as she tried to explain her opinion about all this. "So you see... Duo would just plain be better off without Heero." I damn near leaped across the table right then and there to strangle her. If it wasn't for Trowa's reassuring hand on my shoulder I would have. "Bullshit. You just want Heero for yourself you selfish hag." She was filled with surprise when I said that. I guess she wasn't expecting such a reaction from me. But I would be damned before I would let her tear my big brother away from the person he loved. "Quatre!" came Trowa's voice and I flinched at the sharpness of it.

"I'm going home." I stated. "Stay the fuck away from Duo."

I couldn't sleep after that. I was terrified that while I slept she would do something. It wasn't right! Why was she so obsessed with tearing those two up anyways?! I was angry. No... I was beyond angry. As Duo would say... I was flaming pissed. I stood. Trowa hadn't come home yet. Which had to mean he was still with Relena right? She wouldn't try anything under his watchful eye. I hoped. I crossed the room to grab my raincoat. I was going to go calm down, then I was going to see my big brother. He needed me.

The rain was coming down in sheets. I could barely see for it. I wouldn't be able to drive in this weather, which means I'd have to walk. While walking the frighteningly quiet streets I thought about everywhere I had been. And a little about where I was going. I thought about the eve wars and everyone we had killed. Cities were decimated, lives were destroyed, and all because I said 'yes I'll be a gundam pilot'. Where was I going? Honestly I really didn't know. I was lost and alone in the dark. But unlike when Duo had a problem... no one noticed mine.

I returned hours later and crept up the stairs to the room in which Duo was currently staying. I heard him whispering quietly to Wu Fei behind a closed door. Putting my ear to the door I listened. "I... I had a bad dream."

"About what?"

"Heero..." I gasped. Heero... I turned and went to the room where Heero and Trowa were quietly talking. In soaking clothes and my bangs hanging heavily I exclaimed "YOU!!" And stalked towards the figure of my rage.
