Chapter 6
"Can't this thing go any faster?" Lily complained, leaning over Heero's shoulder and staring at the controls.
"Would you shut up woman?" Wufei had shouted at her.
Lily glared at the man, wondering why he had even been sent with her and Heero anyway. On their way out, Quatre had insisted that Wufei come along to help. Lily hadn't want the man around, but if he could help she guessed it was best just to let him come along. After all, none of them had any idea what type of danger they'd be getting into.
"Why are you even here?" Wufei asked the girl. "You're just going to get into the way."
"Sakura is my best friend. I want to make sure she's alright." She pulled back away from Heero and fell into her own chair. She prayed that they would make it in time.
Duo glared into the window, counting the number of men in the abandoned warehouse. In the middle he could see his sister, tied to a chair, unconscious. He had been on his way out to go on a date with Lily when he'd gotten a call that his sister was in grave danger. So he'd rushed out the door and made his way here as quickly as possible. He had been too late to prevent her from being caught. Even worse, she was hurt. On her right shoulder he could see she had been shot. He cursed himself for leaving her alone for so long.
He watched as one man approached his sister and grabbed her hair, yanking it hard, forcing her to wake up. She winced and then stared up at the man who held a gun to her head. Fear was painted on her face and the man seemed to enjoy every minute of it.
"What do you want with me?" Sakura asked the man, trying to hide how scared she was.
"What do I want?" The man laughed. "To destroy your brother. It's obvious if we catch you, then he'll rush on his way here to save you. You're brother has thwarted our plans one too many times. We're here to put an end to it."
Sakura glared at the man, angry that he was using her against her own brother. "How did you find out he was my brother?"
"I have my ways," the man simply answered and released her. "I have a feeling your brother is already here, watching over us, trying to decide on how he's going to rescue you."
Sakura rolled her eyes. "You're stupid."
"Say what?" The man growled and shoved the gun against her wounded shoulder. Sakura let out a scream, tears falling down her face, unable to do anything. The man laughed and leaned down close to her ear. "Don't underestimate me." He then pulled away and walked off to where some other men had been standing nearby.
Duo clenched his fist tight to the point where it started to bleed. They were hurting his sister and he couldn't forgive that.
Lily growled as she paced back and forth next to the carrier. "I hate this! Why'd he have to leave me behind? This is so unfair!"
"You'd only get in the way," Wufei explained. He was mad that he too had been left behind, but Heero had explained that he needed someone to watch over his sister. Wufei had been told that if given the chance Lily would immediately run towards the battlefield, and most likely get herself killed. He hated babysitting, but he also didn't want to see an angry Heero after getting his sister killed.
"I would not!" the girl protested. "I have every right to be out there too. She's my best friend. I just want to make sure that she's okay!"
"And you'll know when he returns with her. Don't you trust your brother?"
Lily frowned. She didn't like this man. "I do... It's just..."
"Just what? If you trust him, then you know he'll save your friend. You know that he'll protect her."
Lily sighed and sat down. "I hate you, you know that?"
Heero ran towards the warehouse, and blinked when he saw Duo standing outside, staring into one of the windows. "Duo?"
The man with the braid blinked and looked over at his friend. "Heero, what are you doing here?" He jumped off his perch and landed next to Heero, a confused expression clearly painted on his face.
"I'm here to save Sakura," Heero explained. "Lily said she was in danger."
"You're here to... what?" Duo's eyes widened. "Sakura is my sister. I'm here to save her."
AN: Review please.
