Hey everyone. I am very sorry about the Long Wait with capital letters. I was so focused on my schoolwork and other stuff that I forgot about this story. When I finally logged on my account I couldn't belive that it had allready been almost two years. I got guilty as hell and started to write this as soon as I could.

Thanks to:

Kyra2, who told me that I had been mixing the terms "neko"(cat) and "kitsune"(fox). Thanks a bunch!

When Zechs and Quatre arrived home, they found the others around the diningtable which made it easier for them to tell them all at the same time.

"Guys… we have something to tell you…" Zecha began but got interupted by Wufei.

"Hey, where's Duo?" You could plainly see the worry on the asian face.

"That's what we want to tell you…"

"You see …wewerelookingforduosfamilyonthecomputerandthenhehadtogotothebathroomandthenhedidntcomebackandwefoundhishairbandinthecorridor!"

All this was said in one breath by Quatre, and when he dared to lift his eyes he saw everyone, including Zechs, looking at him like he was from another planet.

"Please repeat that, Quatre." From Trowa who never wasted words or beat around the bush.

"Well, it's like this… we were looking for Duo's family on the computer in the library when Duo had to go to the bathroom while we continued to search. It went 30 minutes before we noticed he hadn't come back. Zechs went to look for him and found his hairband in a corridor that led out of the library. We think that his kidnappers are back…"

The house was quiet for about two seconds. Then the notorious Dragon reared it's head.

"HOW COULD YOU BE SO CARELESS? WHY DIDN'T YOU LOOK AT THE TIME? OR FOLLOWED HIM TO THE BATHROOM? WHY DIDN'T YOU DO SOMETHING!"

Treize was the one who held him back when he lunged at the two blondes who was looking at the floor, shamefully.

"Wufei, calm yourself. Getting mad and upset will not help Duo. It might even make the whole thing worse."

Wufei's struggles ceased slowly and soon he was only trembling in the larger man's arms.

At the same time, Duo was just awakening ( can't spell the darn word… sorry), from his unwilling sleep.

'Where am I? Why is it so dark? And most importantly, what happened? I remember someone pulling out the ribbon from my hair… after that there was only pain…'

Soon enough, the door he hadn't noticed opened.

"Ah, so our little Sleeping Beuty has woken up. Good, then you can enjoy all the pleasures of this place."

The voice was frighteningly familiar, and Duo's eyes widened when the lights were turned on. The man in the dooropening was one of the men who kidnapped him the first time. In the background he could hear several other men laugh.

"I'll leave you alone for a second so you can… look around a bit." With that, the man closed the door, laughing cruelly.

Duo looked around a little warily, unsure of what he would find. His eyes became even bigger. On the walls hung hooks and chains with handcuffs on them. There were several large shelves filled with various sex toys, as dildos and vibrators of different sizes and design. Duo suddenly became very afraid of the things these men could do to him. His eyes filled to the brim with tears which Duo refused to let out and his ears drooped.

Meanwhile, Wufei and the company had allready called the police and tried to make a report, but the only answer they got was that they had to wait until the wictim had been lost for 24 hours before they could make a report. Angry and upset, Wufei had said some very bad words in mandarin and slammed the phone to the ground.

The guys didn't know what to do, except for taking it into their own hands. Heero was a wapon expert, so he, somehow, got weapons for eveyone to use. He also taught them how to use the different weapons.

Wufei got a saber, which he almost perfected his skills with in a couple of hours. Quatre got two curved blades to fight with, they suited him rather well since they were light and easy to use. Trowa was entrusted to a set of throwing knives, very well balanced. Zechs got a whip, and a gun as a backup weapon. Treize got a longsword which he handled well. Heero himself had enough gun and ammunition to kill off an army. 1

They were ready to go "Duo hunting."

Tbc…

Sorry again for the Long Wait. A year and some more… I almost forgot about the plot in this story. So sorry.
