Overwhelmed

Talon: Yeah! Chappie 5 is up at last. Liane's still doing exams so she can't be a muse. I forgot to mention in chapter 1 that the gundams were NOT destroyed. I mean that would just suck!

I don't own digimon; I do not own GW. I would be doing the can-can everyday if I did.

Chapter 5-Truths, gunpoint and surprises.

Duo's POV

Later that Night

Phew! I fortunately lost Wufei. The downside is I'm now lost in the middle of Odaiba!

So let's see, I cannot find my way home, Wufei's probably gloating over this, and I just

fell into a puddle from the rain that started while I was running. Can this night get any

worse? Thunder boomed, I guess it can…

Takeru's POV

Joy! It just had to storm, the only thing that calms me down during it, are the pilots,

Sandrock and of course tea. But lucky for me I was already making some tea. I took a

look out the window. I saw someone crouched down trying to seek shelter from the

storm. Maybe I should bring them in?

I impatiently waited for the elevator to take me down. The person could be suffering from

hypothermia. His clothes were soaked enough. I put up the umbrella and ran outside

hoping he's okay. As I got up closer, I noticed it was Duo. Maybe he was still running

from Wufei when the storm started.

I noticed he was unconscious. I sighed hoping no one would see me and picked him up.

Matt wouldn't be home until tomorrow so hopefully he wouldn't notice Duo had ever

been here. When the elevator came I practically ran into it, I needed Duo to wake up! He

just had to!

I entered the apartment noticing someone was here immediately. I ignored this fact

because I knew duo needed help. I put him in bed and slowly hoped that would help. I

had taken his temperature and it was too far from normal. So I felt I would have no

reason to worry about heart attacks. I breathed a sigh of relief until a heard a voice.

"TK, who is that?" I froze, Matt came home early, "Hey Bro didn't see ya there" I began

to sweat seeing that wasn't going to take him off the topic of Duo.

"Well he's Duo Maxwell you know the one I told you about" I saw him gasp and that he

had a look of confusion.

"He was outside and unconscious I just couldn't let him die." I elaborated, I saw him nod

in approval and we began to talk about brotherly things while keeping an eye on Duo…

Duo's POV

I opened my eyes slowly, that's bad, and I could've had hypothermia! Come to think of

it, why am I in dry clothes? Why am I in a warm bed too? "I see you're awake." A

worried voice said. I looked up only to see an older version of Takeru.

I heard a voice laugh. "I see you've met my brother, Matt. Yamato Ishida meet Duo

Maxwell." I guess that makes sense, but if Quatre ran away how could this guy be his

brother. Maybe adoptive brother?

"I brought tea in, would you like some Duo?" I nodded that's what Quatre always made

to calm him self down and it should help me recover. I started drinking it and then put it

down, feeling a sudden wave of guilt. Am I feeling guilt for not telling Quatre what I

know? I sighed knowing that must be it. That I should tell him or else this guilt will just

keep eating away at me.

"Say TK? Could I talk to you privately for a sec." I put on a serious look, and I never

wore that look unless it was extremely urgent. Quatre knowing that signaled for Matt to

leave. He hesitated before leaving and I was grateful Quatre listened.

"What's wrong Duo?" Quatre was acting serious too, a look that just didn't seem to suit

him. I inhaled a deep breath,

"I know what you're hiding TK," He pretended to be confused but inside he was

panicking. He was good at hiding how he truly felt but he couldn't really since we knew

each other so well.

"Yes you do," I paused before adding, "I know who you are. You are Quatre Winner,

pilot 03 and of Sandrock. I know you left, probably because you just couldn't take the

stress. But what I want to know is why Odaiba of all places." I saw him smile sadly as if

he knew this day would come.

"It's because I was born here. I got separated from my family when I was about 5 and the

Winner's took me in out of sympathy. So they called me Quatre Winner, I found out

about who my family was. I just decided to return, it would be too hard to say goodbye so

I just left." I never knew that, I guess the squirt was telling the truth, "But how did you

know" And in his eyes he was asking something and I knew what.

"I won't tell anyone about this unless you do first. As of how I knew; it was the day of

the test. I heard you talking to Ken and decided to keep what I found out secret. But today

the guilt was just picking at me! So I told you." I said looking for the correct word's, I

added a small thank you from helping me too. Quatre's one of my best friends so I would

never tattle on him. But soon he'll have to find out about the tension between the earth

and colonies.

I almost forgot! I suppose Quat should know so he isn't surprised anymore, "Trowa and

Heero are coming tomorrow. Heero will be joining school tomorrow and Trowa the day

after. I thought you should know" He gave me a small look of thanks and told his brother

he could come in.

"Matt he figured it out. He also told me a few things I didn't know. Like how Trowa and

Heero will be moving to Odaiba." Quatre said solemnly. I felt bad for the guy, but he did

feel a bit better about someone knowing. I could just tell, it was written on his face.

"So that's them all." He stated and I decided to tell him, "Yeah, yeah it is." I looked

down at my feet feeling very uncomfortable. "Well I supposed you should get some rest

the uniform is drying as we speak." Quatre told me, I gave him a true smile and fell

asleep before my head hit the pillow.

Next Day

Takeru's POV

I really am glad Duo told me he knew. It just feels a lot better knowing I have a friend

that will help me out. I heard someone's Cell phone ring, it must be Duo's. I knew it was

his since it was playing the chicken dance. I laughed softly and listened in on the

conversation.

"Hey Duo here." I heard him say

"well who else would it be baka!" Joy Wufei must be angry if even I can hear him.

"Hey Wu-man-" he was cut off hearing Wufei speak again

"Where have you been! It's injustice not to tell people where you went you know!" I

sweatdropped knowing this could take a while

"Well I'm at TK's house and just recovered from hypothermia." He made that sound like

no big thing and it was. That is if you consider what we went through a gundam pilots.

I could hear silence, so Wufei must've calm down and hung up. I knocked on his door

and told him, "Hurry up, you're going to be late." I said my goodbyes to Matt as he can

leave later since he's at College and headed off

FF

"Hey guys," I said really not in mood; since remembering Heero's coming to school. Duo

soon broke me out of my thoughts as he ran in the door 2 seconds AFTER the bell. Poor

Duo; although it's not his fault this time. I suppose I'll have to bail him out.

"Class welcome Heero Yuy, ANOTHER person from the colonies." Everyone gave a

laugh except for the students from the colonies and me. Heero sat down by Wufei and

watched as Duo got reprimanded for being late. I raised my hand just as he was going to

be sent to the hall. "Yes Mr. Takaishi?" She said almost irritated, I ignored that and said

politely, "Miss Asashi, Duo was caught with Hypothermia last night due to the rain. So I

brought him in since he was lost. I thought he could stay home today, but it appears he

thought otherwise." Duo's mouth was slightly open as I spit out the half truth. Miss

Asashi nodded in approval and told Duo to sit down. He mouthed a thank you and I just

smiled.

After class Hikari and the others confronted me. "TK, ever since those students from the

colonies you've been distancing your self from us. Tell us what's wrong." Yolei said

forcefully. The others started saying the same thing. I was backed up into a corner; no

escape in sight. I saw Heero and Duo come down the hall, Duo was blushing and Heero

had a big smirk on his face. I'm guessing they got together. FINALLY! I saw Duo look at

me and he decided to pay me back.

"Excuse me ladies, gentlemen, TK has promised to study with Heero and I after school."

I quickly muttered in agreement and they were forced to let me go. After they were out of

ear shot, I whispered thanks. But my relief turned into horror as Patamon came flying out

of my backpack asking what the DD were talking to me about. Patamon was the one

other that knew about my past of Quatre.

Heero quickly pulled out his gun, and said a small, "explain". Duo wanted to intervene

but we knew he couldn't. I sat down trying to act scared but I was failing miserably. I

wasn't fooling Heero and just decided to answer. "Patamon is a digimon, he's not a

monster. He helped defend the world against a vampire like digimon and has fought by

my side since I was eight. He's my best friend and I won't let you hurt him Yuy." I was

surprised how much venom I put into that sentence. Duo obviously was too because he

was speechless at my behavior. But inside he was panicking, so was I, only I could hide it

better then he could.

"Tell anyone about this and-" I cut him off, "And you'll kill me right?" I mentally hit

myself. I just let something else slip, this is a bad day. He seemed confused how I knew

what he was going to say. But he said it too Relena 20 times a day, so it's kinda obvious.

"I won't Yuy." I said that and walked away.

Talon: Phew! All done!

Matt: Finally!

Talon: Urusai (Shut up!)
