-1I have to thank all of you. Due to some really bad flames I got I decided to stop Fan writing for a while and work on some of my own stuff. And when I finally try to get back into Fan writing I get bombarded with good reviews. So thank you guys very much, and I promise I will finish my other stories this month. THANK YOU ALL FOR THE GOOD REVIEWS.

Chp 5

Heero sat next to Duo in the bed, he still couldn't believe that Duo had gone through what he had, he had been physically changed and mentally for that matter, how much, he didn't know.

"Now there's one problem. His condition isn't severe enough to keep him in the hospital. I think someone should take him home and take care of him. I would suggest that you treat him both like a cat and a person. I talked to him a bit and he seems to have either picked up a few extra tendencies or been enhanced in some way, but…for example, he started playing with a loose string, even though he was in pain, and he wanted cream when I asked him if he wanted anything to drink. He doesn't remember much about his past life, and he seems to have memories of himself being a kitten, and get this, actually playing with the doctors, like they had taken care of him. I doubt people are going to take him seriously if he tried to start his life over as a normal person." Sally said.

"I'll take him home." Heero said without a second thought.

"Heero you've never had a pet let a lone a ac-" Trowa put his hand over Quatre's mouth as Heero had taken to glaring death at him.

"I think it's a good idea." Trowa said. Quatre pulled away.

"But Trowa, I think it would-" Trowa pulled Quatre from the room.

"I think it'll be best for both of them." Trowa said as soon as the door was closed.

"But Trowa-." Trowa put a finger over Quatre's lips.

"Quatre, you should have seen Heero when we pulled the fake body out of the water. He screamed and he cried, he hit us. We physically had to restrain him, Wufei, Noin, Une and myself, even then he almost freaking killed Wufei with a kick to the face, and Une. We had to sedate him. I think that it would be a really good idea if you let Heero have Duo." Trowa said seriously.

"If you think it's for the best." Quatre said.

"I do." Trowa said. They went back into the room and everyone, Wufei, Heero, and Sally, were looking at them.

"Anymore objections?" Sally asked, lifting an eye brow. Quatre blushed and shook his head.

"No, but I would like to go with Heero to shop for Duo. He's going to need cloths, and special supplies." Quatre said., Heero nodded a little confused. Duo was still human, Heero's house had more then enough stuff for them both. But he trusted Quatre instincts on this and just nodded.

"Duo can leave in the morning after I check him out, well set up an appointment for a later check up and the such." With that Sally left the five ex-pilots to themselves. Her eyes falling on Duo before she left. Once out side she sighed and shook her head. Truth be told, Duo would never be back to normal, and she couldn't bring herself to tell them that.

-----

Heero heard a soft groan come from the bed and he turned to see Duo's eyes opening. Duo's eyes suddenly shot open and he pulled his hand away from Heero and backed away from him and the others, falling right off the bed, and groaning at the pain in his chest.

"Duo are you okay?" Quatre said rushing forward. Wufei backed away from Duo and Trowa stopped Quatre from running to him.

"Give him some room Quat." Trowa whispered. Duo's eyes shot around the room frantically and he backed away into a corner and curled up into a ball. His tail curling around him in a protective manor. He had trusted that man and that man had brought him back to a medical room. Duo was so tired of medical rooms, sick of these doctors and there drugs.

Heero carefully approached Duo and reached a hand out for him. Duo lashed out at him with his nails. Heero caught his wrist however and pulled Duo away from the corner. Duo cried out and tried to jerk away from Heero violently. Then stopped gasping for breath from his injured ribs. Duo stood there wrist in Heero's hand head bowed.

Heero reached for Duo's jaw, to force him to look at him, but Duo bit him with his sharpened teeth, and didn't let go. Heero winced, but pulled his hand up so that Duo's eyes meet with his. The lady, Ely, had said that Duo had remembered his eyes. If that was true then they could hopefully calm Duo down, I mean that's how it was in movies and books right? He watched as Duo's eyes widened and his bite slackened, to say the lest Heero was surprised. Looks like movies and books had some truths after all.

Duo threw himself into Heero's arms, clawing at his shirt to get closer to him. He was shaking and sobbing into Heero's chest. His hold on Heero became a death grip and his legs wrapped around Heero's waist, his tail wrapped around Heero's leg. Heero started running his hand up and down Duo's back and leaned back against the wall.

"You're safe, they won't touch you ever again." Heero whispered into his ear. "I'll always protect you." Heero said, he felt Duo go limp in his arms and looked down to see the boy sleeping in his arms. The others watched as a rare smile spread across his lips as he laid the boy back on the bed, poking around his chest to make sure his ribs where okay.

"He seriously doesn't know who we all-" Quatre froze as Duo's eyes opened and locked on him. He looked at Heero, locked eyes with him, making sure that they were blue, that they were the ones he had remembered and then turned to Quatre and the others.

"Who are you?" He asked, his voice was full of caution, like he didn't know if he was allowed to speak.

"You don't remember us?" Quatre asked.

"Should I?" Duo asked.

"We were you're friends before you were kid napped and they did this to you." Quatre said, gently figuring the tip of Duo's tail. It moved away from his fingers quickly.

"So you guys aren't my friends anymore?" Duo asked, Quatre gasped.

"No, no, we are…" Duo smiled, causing Quatre to smile back at him.

"I think I remember you guys, but I thought they were dreams." Duo said.

"About the large mental man?" Wufei asked. Duo's eyes widened.

"Yeah, is Deathscythe real?" Duo asked.

"He was." Heero said.

"He was?" Duo asked, turning back to Heero.

"Yes, him and the other Gundam, but they were destroyed at the end of the war…I think we should leave it behind us Duo, it's a pretty sore topic." Heero said, Duo nodded, not wanting to make any one mad.

"So who are you guys…I mean you're names?" Duo said, his hands were wringing at his tail nervously. To be truthfully honest, the blued eyed man was the only one he truly saw clearly in his dreams, the others were just blurs of color and words.

"I'm Quatre Rebarba Winner." Quatre said with a soft smile.

"Trowa Barton." Trowa said simply.

"Chang Wufei, just call me Wufei though." Wufei said, hoping to god that Duo wouldn't remember his embracing nick names.

"What's your name?" Duo asked turning to Heero.

"Heero." He said. Duo smiled at him, he liked that name. Sally chose at that moment to come back in.

"Oh, Duo, you're awake. That's good, I can ask you a few more questions." She looked at the other expectantly. Quatre sighed and pulled Trowa out of the room. Wufei fallowed without any questions. Sally and Duo needed there privacy, and he didn't want to here about it later that night when Sally got home. He smiled at her before he closed the door. Heero just sat down in the chair next to Duo. Sally sat down on the foot of the bed. "Duo, I want to know if you're interested in trying to get your tail removed."

"NO!" Duo cried out, pulling his tail into his arms. Sally held up her hands.

"It was just a question, darling. I'm actually glad you said no. Heero I was looking over the x-rays and I'm afraid that it I did try to remove anything, well there would be severe chance of health complications, such as being paralyzed. Whatever the doctors did, they made it so it could not be reversed. " Sally pulled out a small lunch sized bottle of milk and un screwed the cap, handing it to Duo. Duo happily took it and started drinking the milk. "The nurse will be by in a bit for dinner for the both of you." Sally said. Duo stopped drinking.

"I get food?" Both Heero and Sally looked shocked at the question.

"Of course you get food." Heero snapped grabbing Duo's shoulders. Duo flinched and tried to pull away from Heero. Heero grabbed his chin and made him look at him. "You look at me." Heero said firmly, but not rude. Duo looked up at him, a little fear in his eyes. "I'm going to take care of you, you're going to be fed every day, three, hell I don't even care if you want food four times a day, you'll have it. Do you understand me." Duo nodded, and Sally giggled a little.

"Duo you will be going home with Heero in the morning." Sally said, she lifted the sheets off him and was poking around his chest area. She sighed. "But you have to stop jumping around for a few days, let you're ribs heal, I've wrapped them tight enough that you should be able to do some stuff but promise you'll take it easy." Duo nodded.

"G was never this nice to me." Duo said.

"Duo you will find we are much kinder then G." Sally said, she kissed Duo on the forehead. "Well I have a few other patients who are in more dire need of my skills. If you need anything Duo you just ring the buzzer, but please only if you're in pain. I will come visit you at Heero's house okay." She kissed Duo's forehead. "I'm glad you're home." She said before leaving.

Duo turned to Heero know that they were alone. "Thank you." Duo said. Heero pulled him into a hug.
