"So whoever it is, he's serious."
"Shit."
"Mother-fucking whore." Duo swore angrily. His whole body was shaking in anger. "What did they do? Why attack an innocent school? An dorm at night when everyone is in bed?!"
"To anger us. The more angrier we are, the more likely we are to make an mistake." Heero replied. "Stay calm and think rationally."
Duo threw the newspaper down. "7 dead. 18 suffering from nearly 80% burns. 5 suffering from collapsed lungs. Innocent school children. Don't you fucking dare tell me to calm down! This is us. They are after us and this is just barbaric!"
"When we find him, Duo, that is when we make him suffer for what he did last night." Wufei spoke, his hand moved to lay itself on Duo's shoulder. Heero's eyes narrowed but Wufei ignored him. "We all know this is because of us, but blaming ourselves is not going to help. We need to find this bastard. We need to lure him out. We need bait."
"Who?"
Wufei turned his black eyes on Heero. "The man that he seems to be so keen to get."
Heero raised his head. "He'll be in contact soon. That's easy to tell. He will want to exploit what he has done."
"That would be his undoing. He won't do that. It would make no sense." Quatre spoke. "He knows that we know it was him and that we would be waiting for him to contact us. But if he contacts us now, we will be ready to answer his call, and trace it. He won't risk it."
"Q's right. No chance he'll be in contact."
Duo stood up, winching, he moved across to the sink and poured himself a glass of water. After a long drink, he turned to face the others.
"I wanna go see Kayo."
"You won't be allowed. She's in a serious condition."
"And I'm the person that put her there. Please Quatre."
Quatre looked away from Duo's puppy dog eyes and looked at Heero.
"You'll never get in there. Family only."
"We could, go see her." Trowa gave a small smirk. "Brady will give anything for Heero to pay attention to him."
Heero glared at Trowa. "Duo will have to wait to see Kayo for a few days. He, himself, is in no fit state to go anywhere. The rest of us need to start searching for this guy. That's my orders."
Duo growled and smashed the glass he was holding into the sink before he stalked out in the hanger, ignoring the sharp pains in his abdomen.
Quatre sighed and began to clean up the glass. Trowa sat down on the only chair in the room and booted up the laptop.
Wufei shook his head at Heero. "You really have no idea, do you?"
Heero ignored Wufei's comment as Wufei left the room. He moved over to Trowa.
"Lets see how far we can hack into this guy's e-mail system. Might give us a clue as to where he might be living right now."
"DUO?!"
Wufei pushed open the door and stepped out into the wood. He looked around the house to find Duo sitting beside a small running stream just a few meters from the house. It would meet up with the river at the edge of the woodland.
"Wufei."
The Deathscythe pilot registered the Shenlong pilot. Wufei sat down.
"Are you ok?"
"I can't sit and do nothing. I'm not a child."
"No one said you were."
"Heero did."
"I never heard him. I did, however, hear him speak the truth. Duo you stuff a big injury last night, and I know you have a quick recovery rate, but you are in no condition to go out."
"She's my friend Wufei."
"I know, Duo. I'll go see how she is for you, you can go see her tomorrow."
"Thank You."
"Wufei? Duo?" the two boys turned to see Quatre exit the building. "Everything ok?"
"I'm popping into town for a bit Quatre."
Quatre smiled, understanding at once what Wufei was going to do.
"We'll see you later then. I don't know how long Heero plans for us to remain here. I think we will need to replenish our food supplies."
"Want me to pick some stuff up on my way back?"
"No, me and Duo will head out later. Right?"
"Right."
Wufei gave a small bow to the two boys before he stalked off towards the school.
"Coming back indoors?"
"I guess Heero sent you out to pick me up huh? And bring me back inside?"
"He just cares about you."
"He's never told me."
Quatre sat beside Duo.
"You've only been dating just over a month. Give it time."
"I know. I guess I'm just fed up of…"
"Of what?"
"This life. Killing people, innocent people being killed because of us. We are 15 Quatre. What sort of life is that?"
"Its no life at all. But it's the one that we are living. So enjoy living it."
Duo smiled.
"Come on, let's get back indoors."
Quatre helped Duo rise to his feet.
"Yeah I guess, before Heero and Trowa send out a search party for us."
Quatre laughed. "Its not that serious yet."
"I don't know. This is Heero after all."
"You gotta love him for it though?"
"That's the problem. I do."
Heero slide open the door to look at the boy who was laying on the bed surrounded by darkness. His prussian eyes flicked in concern and he stepped into the room before closing it again. The sun was still shining outside but it didn't reflect the boy's mood. He had gone with Quatre early into town against Heero's wishes, and now the other three boys had returned to school for the night. It was just him and Heero, and Duo wasn't talking to him.
"You can't avoid me forever," he whispered to the silent boy. Duo had no reply for him and he sighed, "you need to talk to me, tell me what I have done wrong."
Duo snorted and rolled over on to his side to that his back was facing Heero.
"Are you hungry, I could make you something to eat?"
There was still no sound from the other boy and Heero sighed.
"You know that I care about you, that's why I didn't want you to go into town today. I'm not trying to hurt you."
Heero had never been good with words and he found himself struggling to think of the right thing to say to Duo.
"Go away, Heero," Duo muttered.
"I'm not going to," Heero replied, "you have no right to be mad at me, I've done nothing wrong."
Duo gave an evil laugh, "of course, its all my fault. Blame me, because I know how perfect you are and that no one else will ever be good enough for you."
"What are you talking about? I'm not perfect. I'm the reason all this has happened. This guy is after me!" Duo didn't speak again, and Heero crossed the room. "I'll take you to see Kayo tomorrow, ok?"
"That doesn't make things right."
Heero sat on the bed beside Duo's back, he reached out and stroked the silky strands.
"Duo, I need to tell you something,"
Duo waited, he tried to ignore the hand in his hair but it was too god damn tempting to give in too.
"What?"
"I think I'm…"
Whatever Heero had been about to say, he never got the chance to say it. The door to their room opened and the light flicked on. Duo sat up and spun round quickly. Both boys came face to face with about 20 men, all pointing guns at them.
"Don't move," one of the men ordered, "and you wont get hurt."
"Who are you?" Heero demanded, the only thing going through his mind was that he needed to protect Duo.
"I thought you would of worked out who I was by now," the man sneered."
"You the one who sent me them e-mails."
"How clever of you," the man smirked at them, "yet you don't even know my name. My son informed me that you had arrived, but only three of you had come. I was disappointed to here that out of the famous five I would only get three. That's was until he realised that your girlfriend," he spat the name, "was not who she appeared to me. Did you think it was clever?"
"You told us to dress as…"
"I didn't think you would actually degrade yourselves and actually dress as girls."
The man roamed his eyes over the two boys sitting on the bed.
"So what do you want with me?" Heero asked.
"You are mine, Heero Yuy."
"Excuse me?" Duo drawled, "I don't think you can just claim someone as yours."
"He is mine, Mr Maxwell, because I created him."
