CH.3: Drink,Drank,Luck.

"C'mon Heero...everyone is gone,you've had enough." Quatre's attempts were useless,as he watched his dear friend drown himself in alcohol.The bar tender returned from last minute clean-up.

"Yeah,buddy.I'm closing up,and i think you've had enough,anyway."

"heeeeeere..."Heero paused for a second to wipe the drool from the corner of his mouth,and swing his glass around gesteringly.

"L-look.HEre..I'll..I'll tell youu when i ha..enou..to drrrrink,dammit!"He slammed the glass down onto the counter,in a "hit-me" motion.No overweight American was gonna order Heero Yuy around.

"I'm,i amm,the pr..perfect ffuckiiing-soldier!"back hunched over,blood-shot eyes on the ground,thrusting his fist in the air almost sent him reeling back onto the floor.Of course Duo's arms were there to catch him."We know" He said,smiling at Heero.It was one-sided.

"D-don't...inter-rupt meh!mmmmmkay?"Trowa watched the scene 5 seats,cautiously away.Shaking his head,while sipping his sake.As the rest of them tried to ease Heero away from the Bar,Trowa headed outside to wait.Upon exiting the pub,Those deep green eyes fell upon a very un-usual site.A dark figure was limping towards him,and it took him a moment before he realized it had collapsed 5 feet away."I should have stayed inside..."He replied,before heading over towards the body.

"Dammit Heero!" "Heero Please!" "hee-chan..?" The 3 boys pleaded,yelled,and tried with all their might.To try and pry Heero away from the bar..They soon realized they would have to let him get piss-drunk,pass out,and carry him.Simple,right?

"Okay..1..2..up!" Sprawled out by the limbs,the boys managed to lift him up."I got him,"said Wufei.There was a look of distaste in duo's eyes,but he knew Wufei was stronger than him.Heero-safe on Wufei's shoulders,They left the bar,only wishing to be home.

"Whoa Trowa,i knew you were weird,but--" "Oh quiet!i found her,baka" The silence emitting from Trowa and Duo's stare down was almost enough to make the boys forget about the problem at hand."Help me get her to the car,"Trowa finnaly broke the silence,as Duo helped him with the female.

6 bodies now cramped inside the tiny car,breaths were the only sound besides the low growl of the mufler

"So,are either of them awake?"

Quatre's shaky voice called to the back seat passengers."Heero's out cold,and the girl took a pretty good fall..."Trowa ran his fingers over the blood intangled in her hair.Realizing that ut was on the right side of her head,where the left side of her head had hit the ground,and was now forming a small bump of inflammation.

"Yeah,and my back is killing me," Wufei's two cents had been added.

"Baka,"Duo sulked,resting his head against the coolness of the window."What was that?Did you just call me baka,baka!"Wufei's face and fist were now pressed inbetween the driver and passenger.

"Well youre always whining!"

"Im always whining?"

"Heero only weighs like 99 lbs!"

"So what-"

"Shut up!and sit down!I am trying to drive!...please"

Both heads turned to the blonde driver,as both mouths shut.this was new.

This called for silence,too.It seemed apparent that Quatre could become a completely differnt person when lives,or the well being of others were on the line.When they finnaly did reach the house,it was no differnt.

"Duo,wufei,you take Heero upstairs-and Trowa,bring the girl over here and help me"Orders were made,and no one questioned the authority.Someone had been watching a little bit too much E.R.

Once up stairs,Duo sat on the bahroom floor,setting Heero infront of the toilet.When the boy finnaly stirred awake,Duo was there to rub his back as he emptied the toxins of the night's few too many rhode Island iceteas.After making sure Heero was tucked in bed (or rather run out of the room from Heero's wrath) Duo met the other boys downstairs in the living room.Quatre was wrapping an ace-band around her head,as Trowa sat,checking the pulse.After a 2 failed attempts at the wrist,Trowa's fingers moved to the side of her neck,taking the silver chain off-as it was in his way.After slipping it into his pocket,he rusumed to the pulse.

"Its faint,but this is no dead-girl."his diagnosis.

The boys fell into conversation to pass the time.Should they call the cops?Or atleast wait until she woke up?If she didn't wake up,all fingers would point in their direction..but it was 3 in the morning.It wasn't until minutes later,the sound of forced shallow breaths broke the talk,and turned on attention to the girl,seeming to be awake.eyes slowly opened,automaticly seeming confused.

"Hey,dont freak out.we found you and-." Quatres voice trailed off into nothingness,as Trowa held a finger to his lips.The girl's mouth opened,forming the movement of speech,but no voice came from within,she only sighed."Its okay,you dont have to say anything..get some rest."Trowa sprang a smile to the girl,whos eyes were now slowly falling back to lifelessness-only he knew it was just sleep.

But those didnt close quick enough for Duo not to see them."Duo...?"

Mouth gaped open,he looked as if he were chokingmor had just seen a ghost.A face that showed nothing but horror.Duo knew something,that the rest of them couldnt even fathome."wha...wha.." No sentances would come from the stunned boy.

"Duo are you alright?"

He was anything but alright.
