Well I already released another chapter by the time I'm writing the fourth. Really seriously I know only one person has read the third and after I ended it so diligently to hopefully get some response... I am afraid I'm selling myself short on reviews by hurrying ::smiles:: I like reviews.
Each breath steamed up the mask that provided Duo with air. His fever was high, the infection raging through his body. Gently Heero brushed the hair out of Duo's face. Each breath was still such a struggle for Duo, but there was nothing more they could do for him. It was now up to Duo to survive. Heero gently wiped off a bead of sweat as someone in heels walked up behind him. As he usually did he chose not to recognize the person behind him.
"Relena's pissed about the MS's Heero, she's threatening to disband the Preventors." There was a pause as Lady Une waited for his response. "Heero I'm talking to you."
Infuriated Heero spun and faced Une his face showing murderous intent. "I should have killed her when I had the chance and we wouldn't be having this problem now would we?"
"Heero, the Earth Sphere Alliance keeps this peace," Une pointed out.
"Earth Sphere Alliance was started by OZ, it was a mistake to keep alive even after it was gone."
"True... How is Duo doing?"
"In the two months we spent looking for a 'peaceful' solution to this the infection spread." Heero looked back at Duo. "Added with the malnutrition, even for a Gundam piolet it's to much."
"Poor Trio having to see her father like this."
"I haven't brought her here," Heero was quiet again. "I told her we haven't found him yet. Until Duo is better I am her guardian, I choose what's best for her understand?"
Une was taken back by his words, "I understand, to bad she won't see her father before he dies."
"Who's to say he's going to die?"
Casually, but with a hidden hint, Une shrugged. She didn't say anything more as she crossed her arms, standing by the door waiting. Eventually Heero turned and walked for the door. Just outside the door Heero stopped, he had one more question to ask Une, one he knew the answer to already.
"Will I be arrested for my actions?"
"Affirmative, but I'm working on getting the charges dropped."
"Understood."
For once Heero's nerves were rattled. The thought of loosing Duo, then there was his soon to be arrest. Who would care for Trio, her father left her to no one but Heero. That's why Heero chose to walk the five miles back where he was staying. He just needed to think, time to sort things out.
Heero's phone rang, he figured to let it ring but something pulled at him. Slowly he picked up the phone and put it to his ear. He had to be a good mile and a half from the hospital now.
"This is Heero."
"This is Nurse Mias from the hospital, can I ask that you hurry back Mr. Yui, it seems that Duo has taken a turn for the worse."
"Worse as in?"
"Are you driving Mr. Yuy?"
"Obviously not."
"Duo just flat lined, and was dead for four minutes before we brought him back." The lady paused preparing for bad news. "We think you should come back and make arrangements."
"Tsch."
It was a mistake to go walking while Duo was in this condition. Running as fast as he could he headed, not for the hospital, but back home.
Sorry to cut it off there but with the lack of interest, I nono my next chapter might be my last.
