Thanks for all the reviews guys so here's another chapter.
Chapter Five
Heero's tracks changed as Wufei followed them. From that of a man to the paws of a large cat. He expected to see it change from traces of two feet into four but it never did. Heero was a different beast then he had been before. He followed them into the woods past the blood stained snow and trees. The snow picked up covering the traces. Wufei looked up and found that he could still follow the way Heero had gone for there was a path of trees that were pushed over. Each with large claw marks. Wufei followed them with caution. Not knowing if Heero had doubled back and was waiting to pounce or not.
"Heero!" He called out cautiously. "We need to go back to the cabin. You need to go protect Duo. He's there all alone." Wufei said, his sword ready. He was starting to have second thought about going after Heero.
"Wu..." Heero said. It came from farther up the path. "..Go...back.." The Voice sounded more like Heero then the beast.
Wufei decided that this once he wouldn't argue and headed back for the cabin. The sound of a infuriated growl from behind made Wufei run faster. He herd the crashing of a tree and then nothing.
Wufei got back to the cabin and locked the door, for good, but useless measure. He looked over to see that Duo was still out cold, a light whimper and a moan for Heero, made Wufei sigh and slid to the ground near the door. What the hell had he gotten himself into. Though he guessed it was for the best, if the two had been in a town, well who the hell knows what would have happened.
-----
The sun rose and Heero did not return. He remembered what he had done and could not bring himself to go back after changing back. 'It's for the best. Now I can not harm Duo' He thought as he spied a cave. He entered it and curled up into a ball trying to stay warm.
Wufei growled and grabbed his sword again, unlocking the door he made a move to leave. Duo sat up and looked at him.
"Where's Heero at?" He asked. He got to his feet and winced slightly but otherwise ignored the pain between his legs.
"He did not come back" That was all Wufei said before leaving to look for Heero. The sun was up and he knew he should be back to the way he was.
Duo quickly dressed himself and went out to help find Heero, but once he was outside he lost site of Wufei. So he, not even thinking about tracks, started looking for Heero on his own, pulling his cloak tightly around himself, and bringing the extra one he had let Heero have.
A familiar sent hit Heero's nose "Duo!" 'why is he out here!' Heero charged through the snow to were Duo sent was coming from.
Duo fell to his knees eyes watering. He wanted to cry. He finally finds someone who can protect him, someone who didn't care that he was clumsy, or that he couldn't hunt. And then Heero went and hurt him and instead of coming back to him to explain what had happened, he left him.
"Maybe he does mind that you're a clumsy wood elf." Duo told himself.
"No. I don't." Heero came over a snow bank. "Why are you out here baka?" Heero said as he picked Duo up.
Duo pushed himself out of Heero's hands and landed in the snow and backed away from Heero quickly. Throwing the cloak at him.
"How dare you do that to me!" He screamed picking up snow and throwing it at Heero, not showing his embarrassment when it completely missed him. "You just left me like that?" He yelled.
Heero's ears fell and he looked down at the snow.
"How can you do that...I thought you just wanted to use my body...When Wufei told me you hadn't come back...I...I." Duo couldn't find the words anymore. His eyes teared up and he fell to his knees in the snow. "I thought you hated me..."
"I could never hate you" Heero could not look at him. "I hate myself." He whispered and crossed his arms hugging himself. His tail limp between his legs.
"I just want to know why you did that last night?" Duo whispered, moving closer to Heero.
"I was mad at my self . I hurt you." He was holding back his tears now.
"Why did you hurt me...was it because of the moon, because I don't quiet get it." Duo asked, hugging himself to Heero's legs.
"I like you Duo... your smart and funny, and beautiful... I could not stop myself..." Heero whispered.
Duo gave a small smile and hugged Heero tighter. "Then don't hate yourself." He said.
Heero picked Duo up and took him back to Wufei's cabin.
-----
Wufei sighed in frustration and headed back home. It was cold and he was hungry, and obviously Heero didn't want to be found. He walked into his home and found Duo and Heero curled up in front of the fire place.
"What the hell! Does he have like a whistle or something to call you back home." Wufei said, a little pissed that he had been out all morning looking for the Changling.
"I'm sorry" Heero opened his eyes and looked up at Wufei.
Wufei sighed. "I think we should leave tomorrow. Now that they know you guys are here."
"We?' Duo asked.
"Fleeing are you?" Heero added.
"Yes, after what you did to those men, I'm guessing that someone important is after you two and won't give up, you didn't even give them time to speak to you. So if this person is after you, then they'll question me, it would be best if I 'fled' as well." Wufei said, he started packing some stuff while he spoke. "I have an extra horse that I'm sure you two don't mind using."
'You are not afraid of me" Heero pulled Duo closer.
"I know I am." Duo said with a laugh. Wufei smiled at that. "Oh I'm scared of you, scared enough to give you respect, but I don't fear for my life." Wufei said. He would just stay close to Duo when Heero started acting up he thought.
"Then you are welcome to come." Heero stretched like a cat before he stood.
Duo grumbled but didn't get up. He had been warm in Heero's arms.
"Time to move." Heero packed up their things and threw on his cloak over his barely there shorts. Wufei threw Heero a pair of warm pants.
"Those too." He said, knowing that Heero would be cold dressed like that.
"Thanks" Heero nodded and put them on. He then picked Duo up and took him out to the horses.
"I can walk." Duo said, protesting, but only half heartedly. Wufei just shook his head.
-----
Ten minuets later they were on the road leaving Wufei's house behind. Wufei was on a white horse. Duo was on a black one with Heero right behind him.
It only took Duo fifteen minutes to come up with a fail proof plan. He simply pretended that he was falling off the horse. Hoping to god that Heero would catch him, because he was really going to fall if he didn't. So he started slipping to the side.
Heero caught Duo with one arm and pulled him back onto the horse. "Careful." Was all he said but he wrapped his tail around Duo's waist.
Duo's shoulders dropped, okay that only proved that he couldn't ride a horse, which he could. He fingered Heero's tail and thought about another plan.
Heero started to purr lowly, it was just loud enough for Duo to hear. That would work. Duo leaned back so that he was rested on Heero's chest, able to feel him purring and played his Heero's tail, carefully fingering it, and rubbing his hand up and down a portion of it. He had a smirk on his lips.
Heero started to get hard his mind turning to mush as he let out a low moan. Duo's head nodded forward, the vibrations from Heero's purring causing him to fall asleep, completely relaxed and completely unaware of Heero's condition. Heero blushed when he realized what had happened hoping Wufei did not see or hear any of it.
Wufei of course had not, lucky for him. But he did turn not a minute to late to look at Heero, seeing the blush, but didn't say anything. "There's a village coming up, you might want to put you're hoods on if you don't want anyone to see both of your ears." That was when he noticed that Duo was asleep. "Does he always sleep?" He asked, wondering why the boy was sleeping, when they had only been riding for an hour.
"He tends to." Heero said pulling up both of their hoods and hiding his tail under his cloak. Duo woke instantly when Heero's tail was pulled out of his hands.
"What, where...Oh." He looked at Heero with guilty happiness. Then noticed that there hoods were on. 'What's going on?" He asked.
"We're in Town" Heero answered. "What now Wufei?"
"Where are you two headed...we could head to the Elfour in the Desert Kingdoms, Sanc has no rule there, so you're pursuers should stop at the boarders." Wufei said. "And it's warm." He added as an after thought.
"Lead away Fire Master" Heero said a little tense. There were a lot of people here and he was not used to crowds. Duo eyed the people around them, looking for people from his clan, he was still worried that they were going to be after him, though he couldn't put a finger on why she wanted him and not any of the others, they were all wood elf after all. Then there was Heero, Relena wanted him too and if she told his clan that they might going after him as well.
"I don't like it here..." Heero growled as more people entered the street.
"Something's not right." Duo said, moving closer into Heero. Wufei was also looking around a bit worried. Last time he was in town the people had just ignored him. Heero growled low in his throat and kicked at his horse making it run. Wufei kicked his horse after him yelling a warning and the town started shutting there gates.
"There locking us in!" He said. Duo reached for his bow, but the were to bouncy for him to actually do anything.
