Chapter 8

The first think Disarray noticed was that she was laying on a stone floor and her head was killing her. She moved her hands to touch her face and felt the weight of metal on them. She slowly opened her eyes and saw think metal clasp bounding her wrist together. She moved to sit up and a wave of nausea hit her but whatever was in her stomach staid down as she leaned her back up against the stone wall. Taking in a few deep breaths, before opening her eyes again to take in her surroundings. Stone walls, and a steel door. Pull her knees up in front of her, she placed her clasped hand on top of them to get a better look of the clasps in the dim light. The key lock was on the upper outer part of the clasps. She huffed out a sigh as she brought her hands to her head and searched for a small metal pick. When she found it, she placed it in her mouth and turned her arms to the side and picked the locked with her teeth. ~Hand cuffs are so much easier~ She thought as she her worked the pick about with her mouth till she heard a small lick and the right clasp opened. Taking the pick out of her mouth, she worked on the other one and was out of the clasp in no time. Placing the clasp to the side of her, she put the pick back in her hair and leaned her dizzy head back again the wall, trying to recall just happened. She didn't have much time to think on it when the door opened up to revile Alex himself and it all came rushing back.

"Well, looks like your up." Alex said as he walked in and shut the door behind him. He looked her over and noticed her clasps on the side and he narrowed his eyes at her. "You've been a bad little girl." he took a step closer to her.

The best that Disarray could muster was a death glare, but a weak one. "What do you want with me?" She asked coldly, but her voice was just a whisper, droggy. She tried to push herself off the wall to try and stand in front of him, but she had to close her eyes to get the room to stop spinning. She groaned when the back of her head hit the wall with a thud. She fought to stay conscious by blinking her eyes. ~What did he give me?~ She thought. When she heard Alex take another step towards her, she pushed her back up against the wall, using it as a braise to help her stand to look him in the eyes.

Alex watched her raise herself, leaning against the wall. He walked to stand in front of her, reaching a hand out to trace her jaw only to have her jerk her head away from his hand. He laughed at her when he noticed that jerking away from him almost made her lose her balance. "What I have planed for you is going to be fun." He smiled. "I could hold you for ransom till I get all that I want from Treize. I could kill you and just get my rank back." He smirked evilly as he took a small step closer, leaning his body into hers. "Or I could just have some fun with you till people notice that your missing." he whispered into her ear.

Disarray tried to pull away from him but the wall behind her wouldn't allow her to. She kneed him in the growing and almost fell when he back up from her. "You will stay away from me." She growled out and spat at his feet. Her vision was a little blurred but it was starting to clear up. She thought that she could make a run for the door, but she was a second to late to try. Alex had stood back up and slapped her across the face, cause the side of her head to hit the wall and she fell to the floor hard. Her head pounding in pain and her vision was so blurry she was almost blind.

Alex walked over towards where her head lay and jerked her head back by her messy braid. He leaned over, "You will not do that again." He growled into her ear. "I am going to enjoy braking you, my little pet." He chuckled and threw her head down, standing back up he left the cell laughing.

Disarray didn't want to pass out, she needed to clear her head but it was in such pain. She could feel her blood running down the side of her head from her temple. She must have bit her tongue or the inside of her cheek, cause she was tasting blood. She rolled over to her side, where her back was resting against the wall, so she could watch the door. ~A little rest will do me good.~ She thought as her eyes shut heavily, with images of the guys running through her mind.

Three weeks, three whole weeks. Duo picked up a glass from the table the threw it against the kitchen wall. A slight pleasure ran through him when he heard the crash of the glass and heard the shards fall to the floor. Sage had popped his head up from under the table and looked sadly up at Duo. "Why can't we find her?" He growled to himself. Sage just whimpered and laid his head back down. Duo went to clean the glass off the floor when Heero walked into the kitchen.

"What are you doing in here Duo?" He asked. When Duo didn't answer Heero went on, starring at his back. "I think it would do you some good to go on a mission."

"MISSION!" Duo snapped around to face Heero. "Everything's always a God Damn mission with you." He tossed the shards of glass into the trash. "Don't you have a heart Yuy?"

"I do, but we must do what is needed of us. Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei know this and they are on missions." Heero said. "You need to get on the ball and get out there."

"The only thing I need to do is find where Dis has been taken." Duo started to make his way past Heero, but was stopped when Heero grabbed his arm. "You better let go Yuy." he said darkly.

"I know your worried, but we can't help her if we don't wither down the enemy that might have her." His grip on Duo's arm tightened. "You need to get your head cleared…." Heero ducked when he saw Duo's fist come at his face. With Duo's arm still in his hand, Heero threw Duo against the wall. "You need to calm down." Heero snapped.

Duo looked him in the eyes. "You wouldn't understand." He said darkly.

"What?" Heero snapped, his eye twitched a little. "What wouldn't I understand?" He stepped away from Duo when he saw Sage come out from under the table, giving him a warning glare. "How it feels to lose the only person that truly knew and understood you? To find that person only have them taken away from you again?" He yelled at Duo, who looked little confused. "I think I understand more than you would know."

Duo took in a deep breath to calm himself. "Who did you lose Heero?" It was heard clear as day, even though he spoke in a whisper.

"I lost my sister." he looked away from Duo. "Ray was my twin." he walked into the living room. Duo following, only to see him sit at his computer.

"What happened?" Duo asked, sitting on the couch across from Heero's desk.

"Since birth, we have been trained together." He said as he started to click away on his computer. "Something happened when we were five, she was sent on her first mission as was I." He clicked away in silence for a moment.

"She never came back?" Duo asked sorrowfully.

"No, but we made a promise to meet with one another again. No matter what happened." That seemed like all Heero was going to say on the matter.

"Well, you said that you meet back with her. What happened then, how did you know it was her?" Duo was leaning forward, on the edge of his seat. Heero has never shared with anyone of his past.

Heero shook his head. "No, I did know that it was here at first. She seemed familiar, but I wasn't for sure till I learned more about her. I was going to tell her about me, who I was. I wanted to know if she remembered." He clicked away again. "Then I learned that she was my enemy."

"Damn, man. So you never go the chance to really tell her?" Duo was just in 'aw' about all this.

"I was going to talk to her and see if she thought she was doing the right thing, being on their side but she was taken the same night I found out about her." He went back to working at his computer in silence.

Duo just sat there, looking at Heero's back. He was playing Heero's story in his mind when something clicked. "No….It couldn't be."

"What couldn't be?" Heero asked, not turning around or stopping.

"You can't be her brother. She's nothing like you." Duo looked a little confused.

Heero stopped and turned to face Duo. "She staid with you for 8 years and only me for 5, it's no wonder that she's more free spirited like you are."

Duo just narrowed his eyes at him. :I don't believe you.: He spoke to Heero in the language that Disarray had taught him.

:Believe it. I have now reason to lie.: Heero spoke back in the same language and he saw Duo stand up and walk over to him.

"Why in Death's name have you not done anything to help her out then?" Duo growled at him, tight fist down at his side.

"I have been." he turned to his computer. "I've been looking at the different bases that are around world to see if there had been any odd activity. And I've been looking at old bases that have already been destroyed too."

"I…I..uh.." Duo rubbed the back of his neck. "I'm sorry 'Ro. For snapping at you." then he smiled and chuckled lightly. "I can't believe that we keep losing the same person." He took in a deep breath. "I guess I have been kind of an ass lately."

Heero looked at Duo out of the corner of his eye and raised a brow. "Kind of?" He asked.

Duo just busted out laughing and had to hold his side. "Oh….my…god." Duo breath, trying to get himself under control. "I can't believe it." he went and sat down on the couch again. "I'm sorry Heero, but I really needed that."

"What I can't seem to get is what she said the day that she left." Heero said to him. He continued only when he the confusion on Duo's face. "Remember, right before she left, she told you that you would be able to find her. Can you tell me why she said that?"

Duo just leaned forward, placing his elbows on his knees and ran his fingers through his bangs and heaved a sigh. "I don't know." He said more to himself than Heero. He turned his head and looked over at the counter where there was a picture of the him and the guys with Disarray in the middle of them, Sage was at Trowa's feet. They had gone to the park one day, the clouds were dark, ready to rain down on them and they didn't care. They were happy. Duo smiled at the memory. Then he just looked at Disarray, at her smiling face, at what about her doesn't seem to change on a daily bases. He looked back to the floor and ran his hands through his bangs again and pulled. "Ah, come on." He breathed out. "She always seems to have her wrist band and her necklace." He stood up and walked over to the counter, picking up the picture frame. All the while the clicking of keys could be heard behind him. Duo looked at Disarray and looked the picture over. "What am I missing?" He whispered. He took the picture back to the couch with him an sat down. Unconsciously, Duo pulled out his cross that was hiding under his shirt and started to fiddle with it. It wasn't until he put the end to his lips did he realize what he was doing and that's when it dawned on him. "That's it." He said standing up, letting his cross fall to his chest, and making his way over to Heero.

"What's it?" Heero asked. He looked up from his computer to Duo who was standing behind him.

" 'Ro, I need your computer." Duo said, placing the picture down next to the computer.

Heero stood up and walked to side, letting Duo take his seat. "What's going on?" he stood behind Duo, watching him work.

Duo clicked away at the computer, typing in codes of all sorts. "I just remember a gift that she had given me and I had to give her one back." With one hand, while the other worked on the codes, he held up his cross. "She made me this cross, it's really a tracker. I've forgotten all about it." he dropped the cross back to his chest and went back to the computer.

Heero just raised a brow at Duo. "And what did you give her. I thought Sage was a gift." Duo just stopped to turn and look at Heero. Who just shrugged. "Wufei asked and I was in the room." Duo just nodded, excepting the answer and went back to work.

"The onyx crystal that she wears, I gave that to her. It's a tracker too." he looked over the codes real quick and started typing again. "I am such an ass for forgetting that. I could have found her a lot sooner." he growled out. As his eyes scanned the screen and his finger flew over the keys as fast as they could, he whispered darkly to himself. "If anything else happens to her, they will be greeted by Death." That caught Heero's attention. Before he could enquire more about it, Duo jumped up from the computer. "Found her, lets go." Duo was at the door with Sage on his heels and Heero as well.

Duo had snatched a car for them to use. Duo drove, Heero in the passenger seat, and Sage in the back. Duo flew down the road, the car in silence. Heero was upset that his sister was taken from him once again after he finally had found her once again, but Duo had spent more time with her than he had. He could see why Duo was more pissed about this than he was. His memories of Disarray when they were kids where almost faded dreams, but Duo had only spent the last three years thinking that he had lost everyone that he had ever loved. Everyone in the car remained silent until Duo took the interstate and started to head west. That's when Heero had to ask.

"Okay Duo, where are we going?" Heero just watched as they passed other car. He looked over to the speedometer and noticed that they were almost going 100 miles an hour.

"Remember the base that Trowa and Wufei handled and had reported on before she was taken?" Duo spoke, never taking his eyes off the road.

"So she's there?" Heero asked, a little scared that Duo was driving the way that he was. And he's already blown himself up once before and he wasn't afraid of that, but Duo's driving was another thing all together. "Shouldn't we call Zechs and let him know that we found something?"

"No…..I want to make sure that it's her and not just the necklace." Duo said, swerving across the lanes so that he can take the next exit. Heero didn't say anything after that. He just more than tried to keep his heart from jumping out of his chest.

Duo parked the car a few miles down the road and they walked through the wood to get to the base. Both Heero and Duo checked their guns as they came up on the base. Scanning the area they both noticed something odd. "This is a little too much security for a dead base 'Ro." Duo said, looking on the roof.

Heero just nodded his head and looked around on the grounds. He finally spoke after a few minutes. "There seems to be 15 on the ground."

"10 on top." Duo said, turning to look at Heero. "What's the plan?"

"We wait till dark." He looked at his watch, then at the sky. "Meaning, we have an hour to kill." Heero looked Duo over. He was ready for battle, his eyes scream for blood and death. "What did you mean by earlier, when you said something about 'if anything else happens', what did you mean?"

Duo's eyes hardened as he looked at Heero. "That's not for me to say, Yuy." He said darkly.

"Duo," Heero spoke his name with eyes but also with a hint of worry. "She's my sister, I have a right know. And what if she can't tell me?" He raised a braw at him.

Duo just looked at the ground as shook his head at the 'what if' idea before letting out a sigh, "Fine. I'll tell you. But she's going to be pissed at me for telling you, you know that right?" He looked at him. At Heero's nod, he went on. "We were coming back to the church, from school, when a gang of 5 big men came out of the alley and jumped us." He looked at the dirt before he sat down an leaned up against a tree, Sage padding over to him and sat down next to him. "We fought them off as best as we could, but they were just too much for us. I had two guys holding me up against a building. Two others had Dis up against a dumpster." His voice started to fade a little. Heero sat down, up against a tree across from Duo. "The leader of them walked up to Dis, laughing." You could hear the hatred in his voice and can see the angry tears starting to rim at his eyes. " He took her beaten face into his hand, 'I'm going to show you why man is better than god.' he told her. We tried to get away with what little strength we had left, but they just laughed and held us down harder. 'Your next pretty boy,' the leader pointed to me." Duo shut his eyes tight as the memories flooded his mind and a shiver went up his spine. He smiled sadly. "She did her best to know scream or cry. She didn't want to give them the satisfaction of what they were doing to her." Duo cleared his throat and blinked his eyes a few times and he took in a deep breath. "A month later, she wasn't feeling well. We thought the worst, that's when I left to get something for her and to help Father Maxwell." Duo then looked Heero in the eyes and saw pain and a whole new respect for him too. "She's been through hell 'Ro and she still had a strong spirit, I don't want to see her broken."

Heero didn't really know what to say. He remember that when he and his sister were together, their training was like playing games and nothing more, but when it looks like she had to face the hard life alone. ~No, not alone. She had Duo~ He told himself. He looked at Duo, even though they both grew up in hell and went through it the way they did, they both came out free spirited; never allowing anything to truly bother them.

When night fall finally came, they still had not said a word to one another. They made their way past the guards out side and made their way inside to the security room. They searched the screens for any signs of Disarray. "I'm not seeing anything on screen 'Ro." Duo said, searching through again.

Heero was clicking away at a computer. "I found some information that leads down below the base." he got up from the computer and head out the door and down the hall with Duo on his heels, they had left Sage in the woods. They didn't find trouble till they came around a corn that wasn't far from the stairs that lead to the basement.

"Intruders!" A soldier yelled out and opened fire. Heero and Duo jumped back around the corner. "So much for snatch and grab." Duo said as he leaned around the corner and fired on the soldiers.

"We need to find another way down." Heero said, changing his clip.

"Not really." Duo reached around into his back pocket and pulled out a pen. He clicked it and threw it at the soldiers. Heero just looked at Duo as though he was crazy, but when he saw Duo move a few steps away from the hall he did as well. They heard the sounds of the confused soldiers, then their screams when the pen exploded. "I need to work on that. It's not fast enough." Duo said as he rounded the corning and took off for the door that lead to the basement. Heero on his heels this time.

Once in the basement, everything was quiet again. They looked around for more soldiers and any doors. They both stopped when they heard the sound of chains rattling. They walked down a wall till the sound got louder when they came to a door at the end. The looked the door over and noticed that it didn't have a lock on it, so they opened the door was stopped dead at the sight before them.
