A/N: I'm really sorry this took me so long to up date. I kind of literally lost this chapter. But I found it. Yay!

My Only Peace

Chapter Eight- the Queen

"The queen controls all
But my love for you."

Heero ran to the window. The window sill was smeared in blood, and outside the ground had droplets of Duo's kidnapper's blood leading in the forest. Duo! No! Why you? Why us? Why does this always happen to us? Heero fell to his knees. "I can't catch him. (A/N: I know this is a little… okay, a lot out of character) There's no way I'd be able to catch up0 with a-." Heero saw a figure fly out of the window. Heero stood up, and looked out the window to see Wufei running after the blood trail. "Wufei! Wait! What are you doing?" Heero listened, but the forest muffled the answer. "What did he say?" Heero asked more to himself than to anyone else.

"He said, 'I'll never let anyone runaway with one of my patients. The injustice of it makes me sick.'" Heero turned to see Quatre and Dr. Barton investing the room. When did they get here? How long have they been here? Now that I think about I,. I didn't notice how big of a mess this room was. Sheets were ruffled, and on the floor, the lamp on the side table was knocked over, and there was blood and a clear liquid all over the place.

Dr. Barton was facing Heero watching him notice the disdained room. "I bet Wufei also wanted to add, ' no matter how big of an annoying brat the little punk is.' That's from knowing him for a long time."

"Quatre? Dr. Barton? What are you doing here?"

Quatre walked up to Heero and placed a calm hand on his shoulder. "After Trowa and I talked it over," There's that look again, "we decided to let you and Duo be neighbors. We don't want you stressing your ankle everyday to visit him, you know. We wanted to come and tell you, but it seems you already got a-."

"Are you two dating?"

Dr. Barton and Quatre's breath got stuck in their throats. Maybe that wasn't the best to way to ask that. Why did I ask anyway? Duo's kidnapped and I care about my doctor's personal relationship. Quatre opened his mouth hoping something would come out, but no such luck happened.

The room remained silent as Wufei showed up at the window. "They got away. My apologies Heero." Wufei said as climbing through the window.

Heero gazed at the floor to hide the fact his eyes were tearing up. His vision was blurred, and his voice trembled. "It's not your fault Wufei." Heero's hands clenched into fists, and were white from the strength of his grip. They were also shaking frantically like the rest of his body. Duo? Where are you? I'll find you. I swear I will. I think I've seen that man before, I just can't remember from where.

Quatre still had his hand on Heero's shoulder. "Heero, I know you're worried, but if you don't calm down you'll put yourself in a terrible position, and unable to help Duo." Quatre placed himself in front of Heero, and looked him in the eyes. "Is something wrong? You look as white as a ghost."

"I can save Duo. I just need to remember. I have to remember."

Everybody gathered around Heero. Dr. Barton kneeled right next to Quatre looking up to Heero. "Remember what Heero?"

"I have to remember where I've seen that man before. I know I have, but where?"

Wufei placed his hand on Heero's other shoulder. "I know you don't blame me for what happened, but I'm truly sorry. I'll do everything in my power to help you. I'll see that justice is accomplished."

Quatre slapped Wufei's hand off of Heero's shoulder. "There's no time for that now. This one right here still needs bed rest. Trowa, it's the end of your shift, you go try to find out about Duo's kidnapper. And Wufei…"

"Yes?"

"You get a drink of water. You're out of breath, and probably parched."

"Okay. Then I'll go assist Dr. Barton."

"You? But you still have runs, and besides, are you sure you can help?"

"Hey, I wasn't always a nurse. Especially since my dad wanted me to take over the family business."

"Family bus-.."

"No time to talk about it now, you go get Heero in bed. I'll go get my water, and catch up with Dr. Barton."

Heero didn't like that he was about to go lay down in bed while Duo was somewhere else, but this gave him time to go through his memories. Well, it could be worse I guess. He could be with her highness.

"Hey! Wake up!"

Huh? What's that shrieking sound? Sounds like a dying cat. Poor cat. Water splashed across Duo's face. Duo shot opened his eyes to find Relena staring at him. " Aaaah!"

"Bout time you woke up. I thought I was running a hotel here."

"Huh? Where am I?" Duo noticed he was unable to move his arms and legs. He looked down to see he was tied to a chair still in his hospital robes. "Wow, your highness. I didn't know you liked bondage. If you wanted me so much, you should've said something."

Relena slapped Duo across the face. Damn, she has nails. Her face was twisted in disgust. "There's no way a lady of class would ever do such a thing. And most certainly not to you, I…"

"You wouldn't do bondage, but you'd throw the biggest temper tantrum, to the extent of kidnapping the one YOU love's LOVER!"

Again Relena slapped Duo. Uh… ow. "I don't know what you're talking about. My beautiful Heero would never do anything so sinful. He's the most beautiful angel, and the most pure. I'm the only one who can be with him. I am the only one who's just as beautiful and pure as he."

"I'll agree that Heero's a hottie, but coming from any guy's point of view, you're not even close to him. And he's not as pure as you think. Romantic as hell, but not at all pure. I have his purity, as he has mine. No matter what you do, you'll never change that. Just like you'll never change our love for one another."

Relena started to slowly laugh. "Never change your love? I don't know. With all the things I can do while you're in my possession, Heero'll be a puppet. My puppet. So, if you don't want to die without saying your good-byes to Heero, you better shut your mouth."

"If you kill me, Heero'll never love you. But, you'd do it anyway, wouldn't you? You really are pathetic."

Relena turned around, having her back towards Duo. "I maybe pathetic, but I'll be gaining the one I love, while you lose yours." What's that supposed to mean?
