I am SOOOOOOO sorry for the long wait!

Okay, I really should either be working on Heart of Space (I got a beta for it! Woot!) or ADWE II… but, this story has been pushed under the rug a little bit before I decided to do some summer cleaning. Well, plus I was looking through my documents and saw this unfinished piece.

This chapter will be short, I apologize ahead of time. Let me know what you think of it XD Thank you to all the reviewers and readers!

Love, Red Tail

Chapter Ten:

Voldemort glared at his followers, and at the glaring boy who stared at him, death threats evident in his eyes. Even though he he tried to use the silly girl against the stubborn spirited boy, nothing he did seemed to work.

"Do you what to know where the girl is?" He got no response, just a glare in return. He narrowed his eyes and hissed with venom.

"Why don't you just hand over the crystal like a good little boy and we'll let you and your pretty girlfriend leave here like nothing ever happened."

Heero looked up with narrowing cold eyes, "She's not my girlfriend."

Voldemort smirked, leaning in to whisper into Heero's ear, "But you must care some for her, or she you since she managed to dare come to my territory and take back what is mine."

Heero threw a punch before his arm, and entire body was frozen by a simple spell, Petirificus Totalis. "I was, and am never going to be yours."

The Dark Lord smirked, "Your body maybe not, but that crystal is mine." He laughed coldly, turning with his robes swirling around his snake-like body. "No, but you spirit will be broken soon, you'll see."

"Don't you dare hurt her." If Relena were to die now, it would be chaotic for their world—her being the only one with a clear-cut view of what peace was. The people were only beginning to understand that peace wasn't just given to them.

"Oh," he turned and his eyes seemed to flash red with malice and a maleficent gleam in his eyes made him snarl. Something was up, he was planning something… "I'm not going to the girl…I'm going to pay a little visit to someone you care for…"

Heero's eyes went wide. "Duo…!" He struggled in his bindings, not wanting two of his closer friends to be captured and subdued to the same fate as him.

The door slammed shut, throwing Heero once more into darkness. He felt the blood silently run down his body again and gathered his remaining strength, hoping that the magic in this world would be siding with him in this small moment.

"Duo, please be careful, please." He just hoped his words would somehow reach Duo's ears.

Then, he lost consciousness once more.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

It was nightfall, and Duo had decided to skip Astrology and stare up at the stars, expecting to see the familiar dots in the heavenly skies just calling home, welcoming him.

He had heard students talk the first time they had been there, before Heero had his attack. It was his first class of the place, well…the first normal class that is. He closed his eyes, willing the memory to come for old times sake even if it caused him a deep heartache when he remembered the stoic boy.

He had a feeling something was going to happen, and Wufei had swore at him not to do anything and wait until they had a bit of information to go on. Now, Relena was missing.

He clenched his fists, "Heero." He wanted to will away all the troubles of the world and just go back to the simple life where everything was with guns, machinery and the other pilots. Everything would be normal—the pilots back to whatever they had been doing and Relena to her peace administration and deals.

He missed the good ol' days. First, they leave a now peace war-torn world, and now they're thrown back into another war. He almost laughed at the irony.

"Heero?" Duo looked at the stoic blue-eyed youth leaning against him, the dark hour and day obvious making the former soldier tired, or at least relaxed enough to let his guard down in this strange place.

"Hn?" The blue-eyed pilot tilted his head in his direction, his own way of saying 'what's wrong?'.

"Do you wonder how everyone back home is holding up?" Duo looked at Heero with sad violet-blue eyes that shimmered in the darkness of the astronomy tower.

Heero stared for a moment before he replied, "Yeah…" Duo looked at the former perfect soldier with a surprised face for a moment before giving him a heart-felt smile, "Thanks Hee-chan."

Heero didn't reply, not being used to being thanked for saying something, and simply grunted in return.

"Oh, cheer up!" Hermione said with a cheerful smile, "You can always owl your family, right?" Duo's face fell for a moment at her words.

There was no way that an owl could travel through time and space.

"Yeah." Heero replied to the bushy haired girl's question, getting a short, but none the less relieved look flashed at him from Duo. Hermione smiled. Unlike Duo, Heero had no problem with lying.

Duo whispered over to Heero after Hermione had left to go talk with Harry and Ron, "Thanks, buddy." Heero nodded.

"No problem."

He missed Heero. He sighed heavily and felt his eyes drooping as the teacher in his History of Magic class continued to drone on about some dude that had gotten his head chopped off and became a ghost or something.

He looked over at Quatre to see the seat beside him empty and, for a brief moment, he wondered where Relena had gone. She never missed class and Dumbledore had personally spoken to them saying that Heero was most likely with her, looking for a way to get home.

He didn't buy it himself, Dumbledore's words didn't sound true, and Duo knew the meaning of truth.

"Heero," he found himself whispering for over the tenth time today, eyes full of worry, "Where are you?"

And, out of no where, a sudden pain ripped through him, making his eyes snap wide, sleep gone from his features.

"Duo…"

"Heero?" He questioned with halting breaths as he toppled over in pain. He heard Quatre scream, but he couldn't turn his head to look over at his friend. He knew he was feeling his, or whoever's pain that was flooding through Duo like a torrent.

"Duo, please be careful, please."

Duo felt light headed as the pain continued to make it's path to him. His chest hurt, like it was burning.

In the recesses of his mind, he could heard odd chanting, sounding like what Hilde sometimes spoke to him in.

"Duo…"

Groaning, he collapsed, head falling with a heavy 'thunk' onto the table as people scurried around with a frantic look in their eyes as they tried to figure out what was happening, some screaming, "The Dark Lord is attacking!"

Those words sent all the students scrambling around like mice as they dashed for the door and some tried to help Duo and Quatre.

In the dark places of his mind, Duo couldn't feel the pain and there was just a sea of nothing, like a black hole he assumed. He closed his eyes and let his tired body rest…

Seconds later, his eyes snapped open when one voice reached him, sounding almost like a plea, "Duo…!"
