Chapter 10: Back to the Ship

Heero's POV

"Its time to go back, Duo" Amiel had said, and Duo just nodded.

'I'm surprised he isn't tying to fight going with us…why would you trust someone you don't even remember…or is it that he does remember? Well at least a little.'

Duo just stared at us seeming to be waiting to go, and all of us were just staring at him obviously thinking the same thing. Then Duo voiced are thoughts out loud.

"No, I still don't remember any of you; it's just that Amiel trusts you and believes you can help me so I will go along with his judgment. But maybe if you tell me your names I can begin to trust you a little more." Duo had said making me blink quickly at him remembering that he still did not know are names, being that he missed the introduction downstairs.

"Forgive us, we should have introduce ourselves in the beginning." I said, " First we have here is Chang, Wufei…" I paused when I saw Duo's eyes widen and looked as if he was about to speak but seemed to change his mind and remained silent, so I continued. " and here is Quatre Winner, Trowa Barton and then me, Heero Yuy." Once again is eyes were wide and he was moving his mouth slightly as if trying to say something, the others also noticed it.

Duo looked confused and finally voiced out what he wanted to say while pointing at each one of us in the order I just said. "05...04...03...and 01" he breathed out. "Why…why do I remember these numbers…what do they mean," he asks getting a little upset.

"They are what we go by when we talk to each other over the radio," I say, then I point to him. "You are known as…"

"02" he finishes for me.

"Correct" I say, and then I think to myself. 'He's already remembering the small things, but will he remember the most important memories? And…and will he be able to love me as I love him?'

"Duo" Amiel says after a few moments of silence. "You must get ready to go back. Say your goodbyes and promise me one thing."

"What's that?" Duo asks.

"Only come back here once you know who you really are."

Duo only looks at Amiel before he replies, "I promise and I never lie."

"And make sure it stays that way." Amiel says with a smile. "Now go and make sure your ready to leave."

With that said and done Duo looks toward us and we nod, he nods back and walks past us leaving the room to go say his good byes. We stare at were he left and then the four of us make are way back to are Gundams to bring them closer while Duo prepares to leave.

(A few hours later)

We just brought back are Gundams, landing them next to Deathscythe. When we got out we noticed that we attracted all of the survivors of the colony out of their hiding spots, so they could look at are Gundams. I saw Duo as one of the on lookers staring at are Gundams, except…while he was staring his mouth was also moving as if saying something. I strained to see his mouth and was able to read his lips forming the final word of '…and Wing'. He was naming off our Gundams even more proof that he was remembering.

"Did you see that?" I ask Trowa quietly.

"What?" he asks

"Duo was just naming off our Gundams" Trowa looks toward Duo and grins a little.

"At least he is already remembering some things."

"Yeah I just hope he can remember all of us as well."

"Well mainly you want him to remember you, right?" Trowa says smile widening.

"Shut up" is all I can come up with.

Quatre walks over to Duo and gets him to come back with him, to get him ready to go. Duo then turns around to say goodbye to his friends again.

"I'll see you all later and don't forget me." Duo yells out to everyone.

"How could we ever forget you? You were the one who made us all go partially deaf with all of your talking." someone said in response.

"Very funny, David" Duo yelled back.

Before Duo could turn around a little girl that we saw early with Duo came up. She gave Duo something before giving him a kiss on the cheek and running away to the rest of the crowd. I saw Duo's smile as he looked at his gift and then waved to everyone. He then turned to us.

"I'm ready to go," he said.

"Alright, we don't have to go far before we reach the ship. You made a lot of friends with your attitude so don't be surprised when people are greeting you with enthusiasm." Quatre tells him.

"Alright, but I really don't think this…Gundam will fly. It was pretty heavily damaged."

"That's true…I guess you can ride with someone because there also appears to be a breach in the cockpit and you have no suit." Quatre stops to think when Trowa speaks up.

"You can ride with Yuy here. I'm sure you can both fit into his cockpit for a little while." I send Trowa a glare, which he sees and response with a smirk. Damn him.

"Alright, is that ok with you...Heero?" Duo asks.

"That's fine." I say without meeting his eyes, knowing full well I was blushing.

"Ok, if everyone is ready lets get back to the ship and greet everyone." with that said everyone went to their respected Gundam except for Duo who followed me to Wing.

The crowd behind us began to yell their final words to Duo. "Don't forget us kid." "Come back soon Duo." "We'll never forget you." "Remember who you are." At that one Duo turned around to see it was Amiel that yelled that one. I also heard the little girl yell "Be safe." before she began to cry.

We reached Wing and I grabbed onto the cable, and looked toward Duo and said, "Grab hold and hang on tight." He did as he was told.

When the cable jerked a little when it began to move, Duo wobbled a little before he wrapped his arms tighter around me making my face redden a little. 'God, he is so warm, he's just like I remember. Please let him remember me.'

When we reached the pilot seat I got in first and set everything up. I then motioned Duo to come in and sit down on the arm chair to the left, didn't want to scare him by letting him sit in my lap. I then turned on the radio after Wing started up.

/Wufei grabs a hold of Deathscythe/ I say.

/Roger that Heero. / I see Shenlong move and attach hooks onto Deathscythe and secure it. /Deathscythe secured, ready to go. / Wufei reported.

/Alright let's go then. / And with that said and done all five of the Gundams left the ground and we began a way back to the ship.

A/N: Ok I know I took forever to update I just had some writers block on this chapter. I didn't know how to make Duo respond to some of the things I wrote. Next chapter will come soon I hope, because it's just in Duo's POV, and when he says his good byes. Well I hope you enjoy and see you soon.
