Two Minds Are Better Than One

Hey all I am trying to write this chapter tonight when it's already about 12:30 A.M. so yeah go me. I hope you all will enjoy this chapter, because writing it out took awhile for all the changes I kept adding to it. And I think it's about time I added another disclaimer so to all who don't know (for some odd reason) I do not own Gundam Wing or any of the characters.

Duo's POV

Darkness

That's all I was greeted to when I woke up after remembering Wufei. My head though felt as if it was being slammed into the side of a cliff, causing a huge boulder coming from the top landing right on my head. My neck is also very sore and hurts to move it around to much.

'This is new. I never felt this way after a flash back before.'

I try to sit up by using my hands but realize that they won't move.

'What the hell! I'm tied up. What the fuck is happening? I know I never woke up tied up before; I'm positive that would've been kept in the memory section of my mind. Though, it seems I forget some major important things.'

I finally decide to sit still long enough to think about my current situation. I begin to move my legs only to find that they to have been tied together, but I could still kick them out to full length. As I reach my feet out they hit the end of the area I'm in. Since my arms were tied in the front it was easy enough to raise my arms, which quickly hit the top of what I am sure, is a box of some kind. I begin to think about my situation, trying to figure out how I could get out of here and not be found by whoever snatched me. It's really unfair that they attacked during my sleep, lowly bastards.

'O.K. so I'm in a crate of some kind, and I distinctly remember being held in Heero's arms and him placing me in my bed, though I don't think he noticed that I was in a light sleep. 1

You know that sounded very nice, if you think of it another way.

My jaw dropped open once I heard the voice say that. For one it was horrible for it to think of things like that. Two it did sound nice now that I think of it.

'I don't need to think of things like this about I guy I barley know right now.'

Are you sure you don't know him?

'Yes I'm sure, unlike the others he doesn't seem familiar in the way he acts like the others did.'

Ah, I'll give you that one, but don't his eyes seem familiar to you at least?

I was about to say they didn't, but I stopped myself thinking that I would lie if I did say that. They were the eyes I have dreamed about and have always seen in my mind every time I closed my eyes during the past year. It's just that I don't know who he is now, his attitude just seems completely wrong to what I've seen and heard in my dreams. The eyes are the same, though one pair appears to be colder looking at times.

O.K. enough thinking about the hot stud for now, we need to figure out where we are now.

I snapped out of my stupor for the moment, thinking about my current situation now. 'You seem to know more about everything so why don't you figure it out.' I snapped acting a bit rude to myself…at least I think it's my self, but I'm getting mad of it choosing different subjects all the time.

Well if you think about it clearly you baka, we are in a crate. So that means we are not laying around someplace open to where a crate shouldn't be. So, most likely we are in the docking part of the ship. Understand now or must I make it easier for you to understand?

Well, I think some part of me just totally burned my ass, and it's rather well done. I'm amazed that the voice knows where we are just by thinking of all that.

'How do you know where we are exactly?'

If you would remember who you are you would have figured this out easily on your own.

'Shut up, anyways, how do we get out of this crate?'

See if you can find a weak board, just to let us see where we are exactly in the storage area. If you break it enough for are body to fit then that would be twice as great.

'Why?' I thought wondering why he wants to look around first.

If we are high up I don't want you to move the box around, making us fall and killing us all.

'Oh' is all I can answer feeling a little bit dump.

I started to push my toes against the boards at the end of the crate, looking for a weak spot that I can kick out. I begin to think that this was pointless because I couldn't find the weak spot the voice talked about. I was about to give up when I pushed and heard a squeak from a weak board. Just to make sure, I pushed against it making the squeak noise again.

"Found one" I said aloud.

Good now just kick at it until it breaks

"Well so much for the brilliant plans now."

Shut up and just start kicking the damn box.

I kicked at it the best I could consider my feet were tied up and I was in a box, so give me some credit. After awhile of kicking I hear the wood cracking, and finally give way to the pounding of my feet. It wasn't a very big hole, about big enough for my head to fit through but not the rest of me. I don't wait for the voice to tell me what to do, squirm a little trying to get my head where the hole is. I look out side and try to see as much as I can without sticking my head out, in fear of the jagged pieces around the opening. As I peer out the very edge of the hole I see something that is white, and looks to be metal. It then dawns on me that it is one of the Gundams.

Yes, whoever put us here must be an idiot if we're so close to the other pilot's Gundam's.

'So what do we do now?'

Now we just sit tight for a little while until one of the guy's show up to help us.

'Ah man, I hate waiting.'

Too bad, but…so do I.

'Ha'

Heero's POV

As soon as we noticed that Duo was missing again, we went to find Quatre and Trowa. They were in the Library cuddled up in one of the more comfortable armchairs.

"Quatre, Trowa have either of you seen Duo?" I asked practically yelling at them both. They look at me, confusion written on their faces.

"No we haven't seen him, we were…um…busy with something else." Quatre was turning red and Trowa just smirked at his lover.

"Well you're going to be busy searching for Duo now." I told him and started to leave the room.

"W-what? Heero what do you mean by that? Where's Duo now? What happened?" Quatre said getting a bit angry at my leave and not explaining anything to him. I can't blame him though so I stop to tell what happened after Wufei and I left him in the room.

(A little bit later)

"…and now we need to find out, not only where Duo is, but also who tried to take him." I explained quickly to Trowa and Quatre.

Quatre listen to all this and hasn't moved yet, I can tell though that he is making a plan on how to find Duo and catch whoever did this.

"O.K. from all I heard this person isn't trained in stealth because when said person was taking Duo they made a lot of noise. So this means they could have been caught on the security tapes. Right, so the plan is I will go and review all the security tapes and try to find out who took Duo, and maybe where they stashed him for now. Heero, Trowa, Wufei; I want all you to split up and look on different levels and separate sides of the ship. Have your com units on and tuned to the same frequency so we can update each other on our progress or if we find something, like Duo." Quatre said making his plan of action clear so no questions could be asked. Duo was his best friend and he didn't want anyone messing with his friends.

We all spit up searching in are designated areas Quatre had assigned us. I was to look in at the top level which held the driving area and other of the more technical stuff, as well as the galley and more important officer's rooms. Wufei had the middle level, which held most of the crew member's rooms. I'm supposed to help him as soon as I get finishing checking my level. Trowa has the bottom level which is where the furnace, storage, and the docking area. Me and Quatre head to the top level and go separate ways for he is going to go to the security room and have the painful job of looking for Duo in one of the many areas he can be, and reviewing some older feed to see who is the culprit of taking him.

'Hang in there Duo, we will find you.'

Quatre's POV (this is new)

I've been reviewing these security tapes for about three hours now, and my eyes were beginning to hurt from staring at the screens for so long. Heero has long since finished the top deck for that is the most crowded part of the ship and would be nearly impossible to go unnoticed with dragging an unconscious Duo behind you. So he is now on the second level with Wufei helping him search each room carefully. Trowa fished with the furnace room about an hour go, since he had to look around every pipe and there are lots of those. He has been going carefully through the storage area and is about halfway through with that, and is soon going to hit the docking area.

I haven't had much luck with finding out who took Duo. Whoever it was had enough clearance to come in here and seemed to turn off the cameras for about an hour before they all turned back on. No one guards this room considering they really have never used it before, other than to see if it caught someone doing anything stupid so they can laugh at them. Sometimes I just don't understand the Sweepers, but I guess that's how Duo found a lot of things funny in the past.

Since it was pointless to try to find out who took Duo for now. I made a copy of the recorded data where Duo was, and thought I could look for people who acted suspicious after he had left the room or something. Most of them where when Duo left because of Relena wanting to talk to Heero, though there was others of different crew members trying to get Duo to remember them.

I was now scanning areas that haven't been searched by the guys yet, mainly it being the docking area giving Trowa a bit of a break. I was scanning around the Gundams when a movement caught my eye. I look intently at the screen trying to find the movement again, just to see if my eyes were playing tricks on me. I gasped when I saw a crate jerk in the corner; I watched it for a bit longer trying to figure out if it was Duo or some kind of animal. I got my answer when I saw a boot kick through the end of the box.

/Trowa I know where Duo is. / I said, my voice filled with excitement.

/Where is he. / That was Heero demanded me to tell him.

/Trowa's the closest one, but he's in the docking area near the Gundams. /

/I'll get over there now, good job Quatre. / Trowa said and my happiness grew.

I punched the air much like Duo would if he found something, and then ran from the room going as fast as I could to hurry and join the others.

Trowa's POV (one more special)

After Quatre's report I hurried as fast as I could, and it was pretty fast considering all of the boxes that got in the way. When I got to the docks I stopped and stood for a second, then I radio for Quatre.

/Quatre. /

/What is it Trowa/

/Can you tell me exactly which Gundam you saw Duo by/

/Um…no. /

I sighed knowing that in his excitement that he would have forgotten.

/I'm sorry Trowa I should have checked. /

/That's ok don't worry about it to much, but can you remember what else was there/

/Oh I know he kicked a hole in the box so I think if you call out to him he should answer./

'Why in the world didn't I think of that' I thought to myself, but in the com I said /Good idea. /

"DUO" I pause to listen, then yell again. "DUO IF YOU CAN HEAR ME YELL BACK" I wait again and then I hear.

"TROWA IS THAT YOU?"

Yes I found him "YEAH DUO IT'S ME, KEEP TALKING AND I'LL FOLLOW YOU VOICE." As I waited for him to start talking I hear a bit of humming of a song. Confused I follow it and then he starts to sing aloud to a very annoying song.

"JOHN JINKLE, JINKLE HYMER SMIT. HIS NAME IS MY NAME TO. WHENEVER I GO OUT THE PEOPLE ALWAYS SHOT. "JOHN JINKLY HYMER SMIT NANANANA"". 2

It's a song he would start to sing just to annoy anyone in the past, and it always got to Wufei. I hear Quatre laughing, and I believe it was Wufei who growled into the com since it was loud enough for everyone to hear.

As he keeps singing that song I see that he is near Wing and I look towards the crates across from it. I see a crate with a hole in it and both arms sticking out composing the song. I see that there tied and go over to help, but I ended up smacking them instead for him choosing such an annoying song to sing. That caused his arms to retreat back into the box and I then see his eye.

"About time one of you showed up, now hurry and get me out of hear before I go mad." He said acting like his old self.

I give a small grin at him and find a crowbar nearby and start to pry the lid off when I feel another set of hands and see that it's Wufei, Heero, and Quatre helping me. We get the crate open quickly and the others see that Duo was bound. Quatre gasped, and I expected Heero to start untying him right away but didn't. Wufei reached in with a knife and cut the ropes off his wrists and ankles, and then helped him up.

"Thanks Wuffles those ropes were tight." He said smiling

"The name is Wufei Maxwell, but it's good to see that you remembered."

"Even the song?" he asked with an impish look.

Wufei just huffed and left it at that. Heero was looking intently at Duo, which Duo felt the gaze of looked back.

"Status" Heero asked.

Duo blinked and looked confused. Hell I was confused why was Heero acting like this, and why did he have that stoic mask back on?

Heero grunted a little and finally asked "Are you hurt?" his voice was cold and the way he said made it seem as if Duo was dumb.

"N-no" Duo finally answered. Heero just nodded and then walked off and left Duo confused, as well as Quatre and I.

I looked at Wufei who didn't look surprise at Heero's sudden attitude change. He felt my gaze and looked at me; he smirked and mouthed 'later'. I knew he wasn't going to explain with Duo there so I made sure Duo was ok.

"Did I do something wrong?" Duo asked as we began to walk back to the elevator.

"No, that's just the way he acts sometimes. Don't worry about it right now; I think were all just hungry after searching so long for you." I don't think I convinced him though because he had a sad look right now. I didn't know what to tell him, so I kept quiet as we walked towards the galley.

Tbc…

1 This is the kind of sleep that you're awake enough to hear everything that's happening, but you are still asleep and don't feel like waking up. It's hard to explain so go with it.

2 This song just popped into my head as annoying, but very catchy. Don't tell me if I spelled it wrong because I know I probably did.

A/N: Wow a Quatre and Trowa POV I didn't know I was even going to do this until I thought it would make more sense. Oh and if anyone can tell me what you call the driving area of the ship that would be great because I have no clue. Well hope you like this chapter, and it's longer for how short the other one was, and making up for the cliff hanger. Hope you all review and I'll try to get the next chapter up soon, but I might be busy so just hope,
