Okay people! I, once again, did not get ten reviews and that is why I
have not posted for a while...but I must add that I replaced chapter 12
instead of removing then updating... so this must be the reason that I did
not appear on the front page under the recent updates... oh well... On with
the story!!!!!!!!!
(Congratulations to my eighth reviewer, Martian Saturnian!)

Chapter 13: The Nurse and the Crystal
Duo looked up and his vision was blurred still. He could see a figure leaning over him with a bright light illuminating it. He quickly got up from his laying position and stood to look around. The light was bright he could see nothing through his blurs right now.
"Relax Duo! Relax!" He heard a familiar and sweet voice soothe, Usagi's voice.
He quickly ran up and hugged the figure tightly. "You've gotten flat- chested Usagi! I didn't expect that to ever happen!" His voice wavered and differed from note to note. His vocal cords troubled him, he couldn't control his voice.
"What are you talking about braided baka!?" said the figure he was cuddling; Wu fei obviously.
Duo stumbled backwards and began to look around. He felt light headed and warm inside. He felt like he was drunk. He saw a blur of yellow and began to stumble over to it.
"Ah! Usagi! You're all better now!" He said with a big smile as his feet slopped on the floor, he was oblivious to everything around him now. "I'm so glad that you're not that monster thingy-ma-bobber anymore!" He said as he slouched over the figure.
"Hold on a second Duo! I'm Quatre!" said the figure with blonde.
"Oh! I'm sorry!" He said as he slouched on the seat next to him, his voice striking high notes. "Where is Usagi?"
Hiiro interrupted. "Duo, I hope you know that they had to shave your head while you were asleep. They had to give you stitches."
Duo immediately sat up and began to feel his head. He gave Hiiro an evil glare while even Trowa and Wu fei were laughing hard. Hiiro stood with a sneer upon his face.
"Why'd you go an' do that?!" He said walking to the figure putting his left foot in front of his right and almost stumbling to the ground but catching his balance. "I want you to fix me right now!" He demanded.
This only brought more laughter from the others. He could feel the blood rushing to his cheeks from humiliation and annoyance; they had taken it a perverted way. Then he felt a muscle in his back tighten and all laughing stopped; yet he was sure they were still smiling.
The muscle began to pull and pull until he was leaning over and his braid sweeping the floor. He couldn't keep the sparse grunts and groans forced from his throat. Nobody stood forward to help him. Then it stopped. It just...quit.
"What was all that about Maxwell?" Wu fei asked a serious and concerned look on his face.
Duo stared at him and began to understand that his hate and anger only masked his body. He had a heart and soul... just a very good mask. He looked at Hiiro and realized that his vision had become normal and he could see every thing better. Everything to the small specks of dust on the desk next to where he had been laying.
"It was this." Hiiro said tossing a small green bottle towards Wu fei, who caught it and began to examine the exterior.
"This is all she could get on short notice!? Such old medicine, invented in A.D. [after death] wasn't it? C'mon! This is A.C.! [after 1st colony] She could have gotten something better than this... Shows how sophisticated this camp is..."
"Were you worried about me Wu fei?" Duo asked. Not a smile or a snicker. Not A trace of a doubt that Wu fei did care; yet he knew he would not only have a small chance of him admitting it. But he felt that he would confess it.
"Yes." He said in a proud tone, "I may not like you, but you are a teammate and I respect your acts back there." Then his tone stiffened into a warning, "But if you expect anything from here on then I suggest you forget it because, like I said, I don't like you."
Duo couldn't help but smile as Wu fei sat back in his seat and began to rub the sheath of his sword. The seat was a bright orange and collided with the formal camouflage. He looked at Trowa.
"Did it hurt?" he asked with a small smile tugging at the corners of his lips to see him alive.
"Did what hurt?" He asked in a small amount of misunderstanding, yet he knew what the question meant.
"Did it hurt to die?"
"Actually," he began, "it's an indescribable feeling. There are no words that can ever measure to what it felt like. It was painful, yet it was pleasurable. It felt like a thousand needles eating my flesh, yet it felt like a smooth cream being spread over me. There are no words I can use."
Quatre and Wu fei nodded as they, too, remembered the feeling. Then Usagi cleared her throat. Duo turned around and joy took over his face as he began to walk towards her. And for some reason she held up a pair of pants.
"What are those for?" he asked looking around to see if his surroundings could have anything to do with them.
"That medicine makes you feel drunk and stupid. It then breaks fever by making your muscles tense and your drunkenness then goes away. You were unfortunately out of the bed when that happened. And you're so over come with joy you haven't noticed your not wearing any."
A smile appeared on her beat red face. She gave a small laugh as he began to slip them on. "Thanks he mumbled under his breath as he quickly leaned down and kissed her. He could hear a gun being cocked and ready to shoot as he ran from the hospital and supposedly down the hall.
"I'll go easy on him..." Hiiro said, no note higher than the other, all notes even and plain as the first, "Only because he saved us all."
He looked at Usagi with a loving gesture. He knew what she thought; she thought that he couldn't love her because she began to think that he could not love a monster. She had said that she would explain the four girls that battled blackness, and how they had appeared the gone as quietly as they came.
But he saw her as a goddess. She is beautiful, smart, funny, and so many other things he could not name...like she is enchanting to him. He could never think this of her. His first and only love.
~With Duo~
He looked up at the ceiling; he began to listen to their conversation, for he had only gone so far as the door. He held his right hand to his bare, muscular chest. His heart was beating rapidly. No girl he had ever met did the things to him that Usagi did.
He could feel the spikes from the thing he had gotten from Usagi's body digging in to his hand. He extended his hand to examine the figure. It was no bigger than a walnut. It was a misty-transparent color and was shaped like an eight-pointed star all around. He began to wonder what it was.
"Duo! You're awake!" Mrs. Hodoi Tamadachi, the nurse, said as she was walking down the hall, obviously coming in from a lunch break. She began to walk faster until she was facing him directly. He hid the small crystal in his pocket.
"Oh, they volunteered to watch you while I was eating breakfast. I wanted to be here when you woke to keep you in the bed...I'm sorry, it must have been painful for you... that is, if you stood up..."
He gave a small 'ha' as he stood up from against the wall. "My braid was literally touching the floor and it felt like my muscles couldn't get any tighter..." He gave a small laugh at the foolishness of it.
She leaned in a bit further, closer to his uncovered chest; his heart began to beat faster than he had ever heard it beat before. He noticed a sparkle in her green eyes. (An: If I said her eyes were a different color, I'm sorry.) He looked at her perfectly curled brown hair; it bounced flawlessly up and down as she moved. He began to look her up and down. She wasn't old at all... in fact, very youthful.
"Oh! I was so worried about you! I was afraid that you would never wake up! But here you are, standing in front of me! I would hate to lose a patent the same age as me because I know for a fact that a person my age has never fulfilled a complete life and-"
"Hold on a second! Your fifteen?!" Duo asked amazed.
"When the colonies attacked my settlement, I had to help my mother. She couldn't handle it alone... This is when I was nine...I shortly became a certified nurse with practice when I was eleven. I had no other choice."
"So, are you some kind of super-genius?" He asked, still in awe that such a young child could become a nurse.
"I guess." She said shrugging her shoulders. "But I guess we better go inside. You've been asleep for-" she stopped as if to count resting one elbow in the palm of her other hand and tapping her head with her finger while tapping her foot. After a second, she got the answer she was looking for. "Yeah! Two weeks and four days. You've been asleep that long."
Duo stopped and let his mouth hang open in astonishment.
~Well... Another chapter and another 10 reviews, or actually 12 becase some people don't like to review!!!!!!!!! Nah, I'm joking! Only 10. Lets get this going! And if you are confused about something and really, really want an answer... just tell me what you're confused about and I will make sure to answer it in the next chapter! UL! [Updates Later] /\_/\
