~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~(7 months, 2 weeks and 5 days after Heero’s capture.)

Wufei sat in the shade of a large willow tree, its long leafy branches trailing in the small pond it grew beside. He sat in the lotus position, his hands resting palm up on his bent knees. His hair lose for once stirred by a gentle breeze that rustled the branches around him. His sword resting at his side. He listened to everything around him nothing escaped his attention as he was one with nature. The birds overhead, the splash of water, the creak of the branches, the soft brush of footsteps as they approached. Wufei kept his eyes closed as he identified Quatre walking quietly toward him. He hummed a soft greeting to the blond who sank to the grass next to him and assumed the lotus position as well. Wufei waited a few moments, almost tense. Then Quatre let out a soft hissing sigh, as he always did. It was a sign that the Arabian youth had reached a peaceful state of contemplation. Wufei let himself relax completely again as the world moved around them.

“I want you to be careful with Duo.” Quatre whispered softly after a moment. Breaking their normal silent routine. “He isn’t as strong as he pretends to be or would like to be. He’s human inside just like the rest of us. I don’t want him to be hurt anymore and I know that you wouldn’t do anything mean on purpose.” Wufei wasn’t even sure he would have heard the other boy if he hadn’t been meditating, his voice was that soft. His first reaction was anger. Quatre was supposed to be his friend, how could he think that he would do anything to hurt Duo? However Quatre WAS his friend so he pushed down his anger and listened to what was being said with an open heart.
“He pushes his feelings down, but I can still feel them, even if I can’t understand them sometimes. He’s happier now than he has been in a long time, since Heero was killed…It’s because of you that he’s improved so much. You’re good for him and I think he really cares about you. He lost his best friend and I think that you’ve come to fill that void and maybe more. I don’t mean he’s used you as a replacement, only that he is grateful for your company and for you as a person.”

“All I’m saying is be careful with our friend, he’s been through enough.” Quatre said in closing. They sat a few moments again in silence as Wufei thought about what his friend had said. He felt gladdened that Quatre cared enough about Duo to have this talk, even though Wufei could easily have gotten mad at the blond.

“I will cherish him with all that I am.” Wufei assured softly and felt Quatre’s surprise in such a serious statement as he looked to the dark-haired boy next to him.

“Oh Wufei that’s wonderful!” Quatre shouted and wrapped his arms around the other boy knocking him to the ground with an ‘ooaf’. Quatre then started talking so quickly that even Duo would have a hard time keeping up with him and it was rather high pitched. Wufei couldn’t get the image of a group of screaming teenage girls out of his mind.

“Winner! I’m trying to meditate!” Wufei protested. The blond pulled back and clapped his hands over his mouth.

“Oh Wufei I’m so sorry, forgive me, its just that… Oh Wufei I’m so happy for the two of you!” He squealed, actually squealed and plowed into Wufei again. “(GASP!) Oh I have to tell Trowa. Oh that’s okay isn’t it? Oh I’m so happy!” Wufei nodded if only to get Quatre to stop squeezing him. The blond ran into the house and Wufei followed quickly. He wanted to be the one to tell Duo that the others now knew about their interest in each other. They’d been talking about bring it out in the open for a while now.

~~~~~~~~(2 days later)“Thanks for taking me out tonight, I had a good time.” Duo said almost shyly as they walked toward the safe house. Wufei brushed the other’s bangs out of his eyes and planted a soft, chaste kiss on his forehead. He smirked slightly at the red that spread across Duo’s face, he found it rather endearing.

“Anytime.” He said looking up at the braided boy. He suddenly realized how close they were to each other. He caught the scent of lavender, which he found fitting as he stared up into amethyst eyes. Wufei smiled and again brushed his hand through Duo’s bangs. “I’m glad you had fun.” Wufei said softly. “I think I had fun because I was with you.” He pulled his hand back and blushed as well at his own words. There was a long awkward pause when they simply looked around trying not to see each other looking embarrassed.
*What the hell.* Wufei stated in his mind. He reached up and cradled Duo’s face in his hands and stood on tiptoe planting his lips firmly against the other boy’s warm mouth. He stood pressed against him a moment more before pulling away and rushing into the house.
Duo watched him leave with a blank look on his face. He raised his shaking fingertips to his lips slowly as the door slammed. A smile spread itself across his face slowly before he jumped in the air with a loud whoop of joy. He landed smoothly and sauntered into the house happily.

~~~~~~~~(5 days later) “I didn’t do it?” He proclaimed outraged and grumpy as he stared at the three serious faces around him. He really hadn’t done anything wrong this time. He’d just woke up and only because Wufei had left and the bed got all cold and junky. Wufei snorted, Quatre giggled.

“We have a mission.” Trowa said evenly as he continued to pack the four separate backpacks.

“All of us?” he asked surprised and Trowa nodded.

“The mission specs are on the laptop.” He said. “We’re leaving as soon as we get packed. We’re traveling light and fast.” Duo nodded and pulled the laptop toward himself across the table and began to read. Quatre set a bowl of oatmeal in front of him, filled with raisins and bananas and sprinkled with brown sugar, just the way he liked it.

“Thanks Quat.” He chimed before digging in as his eyes scanned the screen, committing to memory all the details of the report. A glass of orange juice made it to the table and Duo drank it without looking up. “Wait a minute, wait a minute…They want us to go in save some peace-minded senator that got caught, get the prisoner out unharmed, save anyone else we find along the way, blow the place up as we leave and leave no survivors when we’re done, not caring what we do or if we’re caught so long as no one knows who we are, all WITHOUT using our Gundams, WITHOUT knowing the floor plan beyond the fact that it’s a three level complex, WITHOUT knowing exactly what level the prisoners are kept on, WITHOUT knowing how much explosives we’ll need, WITHOUT knowing how many we’ll be up against, WITHOUT even knowing if the guy is still alive OR what happened to the rescue teams they sent in almost 6 months ago?” Duo ranted loudly. Trowa nodded at him silently. “Okay at least we’re not going in blind.” He said shrugging and went back to reading. Trowa smiled at him and shook his head chuckling to himself. “This guys looks pretty young doncha’ think?”

“He’s probably not the Senator, but a son or something.” Trowa offered.

“No way the intel can’t be that off! To not even know who we’re saving!” he exclaimed. Trowa shrugged. “Bettcha a dollar.” Duo smirked. Trowa nodded smiling.

Duo pushed the bowl away and began typing on the laptop, his fingers clicking furiously on the keyboard.

“Duo I want you to be in charge of anything you think we’ll need to get the prisoner out safely, first aid, bedding, anything its going to be a long ride to the drop point and we don’t know what the status is.” Trowa said.

“Okay.” He nodded. “Wufei!” he shouted.

“What?” the dark-haired youth asked coming into the room.

“Wuffers could you please start putting together first aid stuff for me, I’ll finish it, just give me like five more minutes.”

“Duo…” Trowa started.

“Just trust me.” he said meeting the other’s green eyes. Trowa nodded.
“Ha-ha!” Duo exclaimed not four minutes later. He jumped up from the table cackling happily and ran from the room, only to come right back and plop down in front of the computer again. Less than a minute later he handed what looked like a large digital wristwatch to Trowa happily.

“Okay I can’t guarantee that this is right, cause there were three different maps of the complex but none of them made sense.” Duo said as he turned to leave the kitchen and headed toward his old bedroom, he’d moved in with Wufei. “Parts of them looked right only to lead to something that made no sense, so I took all the parts that looked right and merged them together, that’s map 1, 2-4 are the original maps with the parts I merged highlighted so you can use all four as a reference so we won’t really be going in blind, just misinformed.” He chuckled and continued to shout as he packed every scrap of first aid Wufei had piled on his floor and then some into a large bag. He tossed pillows and blankets from all the rooms into a HUGE clear plastic ziploc bag and lugged it to the hallway. He dug around in the closet and pulled out a bulky shop vac and plugged it into the wall.

“What are you doing?” Quatre asked staring like Duo’d lost his mind. Duo smiled as he zipped the bag shut around the end of the vacuum, he turned it on and giggled to himself as Quatre’s eyes got wide when the bag shrank down to almost nothing. He shut off the vacuum and sealed the bag quickly.

“I never would have thought of that!” Quatre exclaimed.

“You don’t watch enough T.V. Cat-cat.” Duo stated and ran off after putting the vacuum back and grabbing a small cooler from the top shelf. He threw water and juice into a cooler and some cans of broth for good measure, a loaf of bread.

“Guys…” Quatre stated walking into the kitchen, which had become the center of Ops. “They said there might be more that six or seven prisoners…we can’t have them sit on top of one another when they could be injured and all we have it the sports car and the motorcycle.” They all looked at each other before focusing on Wufei, who ran out the door without a word. They heard the rev of the cycle’s engine almost immediately and rushed back to work.

Wufei returned less than ten minutes later. Quatre and Duo were seated on the porch swing rocking leisurely back and forth. They began to load the bags into the dark blue van at once. It had taken just over twenty minutes to get ready for the mission.

“Where you boys headed?” the old man who lived next store asked as he watered his lawn.

“Camping, my uncle’s letting us barrow his van.” Wufei said as he closed the back door. “Have good day.” He said smiling and climbed into the driver’s seat the drove off.

“So where did you get the van dare I ask?” Duo taunted smiling as he leaned against the wall of the vehicle.

“It looks new.” Quatre commented next to him. Trowa remained silent in the other seat next to Wufei.

“I wanted to be sure that it would run, we have about an hour before the dealership wonders why I haven’t returned from my test drive and we’ll need to get gas at the next station.” Wufei said smirking. Duo laughed out loud.

~~~~~~~~“Okay I want the three of you to search a floor for prisoners, once you find where they’re held, contact the rest of us and we’ll converge on your location. Set your coms to a rotating frequency and stay in contact. Wufei will set the charges and we’ll all meet up here, then go straight to the drop point.” Trowa told them. He speech was accompanied by the click of clips being loaded into guns, the glint of knives slipping into sheaths and boots, and soft rasping as Wufei ran his whetstone over his sword a few more time, just for good measure.

“Questions?” Trowa asked.

“Do I get a cookie if this goes well?” Duo chimed smirking.

“Lets go.” Trowa said and they all climbed out of the car, making no noise as they ghosted through stand of trees they’d parked the van in.

“Wufei…” Duo whispered as he latched onto the other’s wrist pulling him to a stop. Duo glanced at their two teammates then back to his lover. He pulled the smaller boy into a tight hug looking unusually serious. “Be careful Fei I…just be careful okay.” Duo advised. Wufei stood on tiptoe and kissed him firmly on the lips.

“I will, I love you too. I’ll see you after you save this senator.” Wufei said smiling and they walked hand-in-hand for a few moments before separating. They surrounded the compound each entering from a different direction and heading to a different point.

Duo ran quickly down the narrow hallways his long knife clutched in his hand. It was quiet and that’s what he wanted right now.
*Long knife my ass! This thing is a fucking sword, I don’t care what Wufei says.* he mused silently grinning. *Please be safe.* he pleaded. This was the first mission he’d been on with any of the other pilots since Heero had been killed. He wasn’t sure he could handle it if Wufei were killed, not when they’d just found each other.

// “Are you sure about this? I didn’t mean to push you into anything the other night; I just wanted to kiss you. I’m sorry if I complicated it.” Wufei told him looking worried.

“If I didn’t want you to be laying on top of me, trust me Wufei, you would know about it.” Duo said laughingly and Wufei chuckled. “I’m sure as long as you’re sure.” The braided boy said more serious.

“I just want you to be happy.” Wufei said his dark eyes shining as he looked down as his beloved friend, brushing his ragged bangs out of his face gently, as was his habit.

“Well, another kiss would do nicely for starters.” He prompted. “A real one this time.” The dark-haired boy leaned down and laid a gentle kiss against Duo’s parted lips, his tongue slipping deftly forward and claiming the other’s mouth. It soon deepened into more and Duo couldn’t help but groan into Wufei’s mouth. Wufei wrapped his arms underneath the taller boy and pulled him tight against his body as he nibbled his way down the pale throat before him. A warm hand brushed against Duo’s nipple and the youth arched his back in reply. Wufei slid his palms across the smooth flesh of Duo’s stomach in small even circles before stopping to grip his narrow hips lightly, moving back up to kiss his partner’s sweet mouth. They thrust against each other, the friction of their bodies pressed to one another stoking their desires higher as they finally broke off the kiss for much needed air.

“Wow Fei-fei that’s what I call a kiss!” Duo exclaimed a little breathless. Wufei lay against Duo’s side and nuzzled his face against his shoulder as he continued to let his hands roam over the soft flesh of his soon-to-be lover. Fingers tracing every hollow, every line, every curve, committing to memory the feel of his fingers gliding over the sexy creature below him. The way the muscles bunched and tensed under the milky skin as he teased and toyed lovingly. A low moan followed by a gasp poured from Duo’s mouth as Wufei’s hand slid lower across his stomach and gently clasped a hand around his erection. Wufei began a few slow strokes, his pace careful and even as he latched his mouth around a pert nipple, toying with it just as slowly as stroked the well sized cock in his hand.
He reached over to the bedside table with his other hand and quickly uncapped a bottle of lube, squeezing it into his waiting hand as pumped Duo a little faster to keep him distracted. He rubbed his fingers together vigorously to warm them, as he slid his body slowly between Duo’s eager thighs, the smooth cloth of his boxers brushing against Duo’s naked form.
He pressed a single digit against the warmth of Duo’s body, the longhaired boy’s eyes flying open as he was penetrated.

“When…?” He started to ask but gasped instead as his eyes slid shut once more. “Sneaky…” Duo managed to pant out before groaning loudly and pushing his hips forward to meet the slow thrust of Wufei’s finger. Wufei put a steadying hand on the other’s hip, forcing him to slow his movements. Duo let out something that was part groan of longing, part whine of frustration and continued trying to thrust his hips upward. Wufei added another finger slowly, scissoring them to stretch the beautiful creature below him, moving slowly so as not to cause any pain. Duo continued trying to push himself against the delicious pressure that Wufei was giving to him, but Wufei held him still not wanting him to rush things.

Wufei slowly added a third finger to his body, but he felt no pain as he was stretched further, only a longing to be filled completely by the black-haired youth he’d grown to care for so much. Duo let his hands trail across the smaller boy’s sides lightly as he tried to contain the rising excitement he felt. Wufei withdrew his hand slowly and Duo moaned his irritation at the loss of stimulation. Wufei climbed off the bed with a small chuckle. Duo propped himself up on his elbows as Wufei backed away from the bed with a wicked grin on his face. He pulled his boxers off slowly lifting one hip and then the other in a slow strip tease. Duo lay back on the bed with a groan as Wufei approached again.

“(Groan) You’re going to be the death of me Wufei Chang.” He said throwing an arm over his eyes.

“Well I certainly hope so.” He said as he licked his way down Duo’s chest swirling his tongue around a hardened blush colored nipple. “A little death never hurt anyone.” He purred huskily moving lower over his stomach.

“Oh Sweet Gods of Hell!” Duo yelled as Wufei's mouth moved over his erection slowly. Wufei bobbed his head up and down over the hard length, sucking gently. Nipping lightly at the head as Duo was encased in warmth. Wufei moved lower, taking more of Duo into his mouth and the braided boy lost his fight to keep his hands out of his lover’s flowing black hair. He arched his back against Wufei slowly not wanting to hurt him, even though he wanted to pound into the heat and wetness that surrounded him. Wufei deep throated him suddenly and Duo’s fingers tightened convulsively in the dark hair tangled in his fists. The smaller youth swallowed around him and hummed his appreciation for his lover’s enthusiasm.
A pair of fingers again worked their way into Duo’s body. They slid in and out of his body faster than before as Wufei continued to suck and lick his length.

“Wu…Wufei…you’ve…you’ve got to stop.” Duo panted harshly pulling his hands away from the other’s hair. The slim youth jerked back quickly and looked to the violet eyes in apprehension. “I won’t last much longer if you keep that up.” The worry left the dark eyes as he leaned down to kiss the reddened lips gently, settling himself between smooth thighs once more.
“Please…” Duo couldn’t help but moan breathlessly as he felt the tightness of Wufei’s erection press against his thigh.

“Are you sure?” Wufei asked panting as he rubbed himself against the other’s warm body.

~~~~~~~~ “Yes, please Wufei take me.” Duo groaned. They rubbed against each other for a few more moments, each enjoying the friction they caused. Duo felt something warm fall against his face, then another as Wufei went very still above him. Duo’s violet eyes snapped open just as a shudder worked its way through the smaller boy’s body. Duo tried to sit up at the stricken look on his boyfriend’s face, silent tears rolling down his countenance. Wufei placed a stilling hand against his chest, then cupped his face gently in both his hands.

“I love you. I’ve never loved anyone before. I love you Duo Maxwell…I hope that’s okay.” Wufei told him trembling as he stared into violet depths.

“I…” He started to say
*Wufei loves me? Wufei loves me?! Wufei loves me!*
“You love me?” He asked in disbelief. Wufei nodded. “I wouldn’t be here with you if I didn’t...I…I just didn’t think you felt the same, but…I was okay with that. I…just want to be near you.” Duo said his voice shaking with emotion. They both moved forward into a soft, chaste kiss, they’re lips barely brushing, tasting each other’s joyous tears. They pulled back to stare into each other’s eyes as Wufei pressed himself against Duo’s waiting body as the other boy shivered against him. He slid forward, slowly sheathing himself in the tight heat of Duo’s flesh, inch by inch giving them both time to adjust. Duo wrapped his arms around Wufei’s frame leaning up into the feel of the black-haired beauty’s cock buried inside his body. Wufei pulled back slowly causing Duo to gasp and arch his back in reply. He slid forward and Duo felt that he would be lost for all of eternity in the slow, torturous sensation of Wufei gliding into him.
He found that he was still crying, he couldn’t stop. *Helovesmehelovesme* the thought rolled through his mind in a continuous bubbling stream.
Wufei pulled out again, pushing back a bit faster this time, rolling his hips forward.
*I have to stop crying, I have to stop.* A sob worked its way from his throat as he clung to his lover tightly.
Wufei thrust into him again and Duo raised his hips to meet the motion. *Helovesmestopcryinghelovesmestopcryinghelovesmehelovesmehelovesme* another shaking sob.
Wufei wrapped his arms under Duo gently pulling him close.
*Stop crying or you’re going to…* (HIC)! “Fuck!” Duo swore.

“Are you okay Duo?” Wufei asked concerned.

“Yes I just (hic) get the hiccups when I (hic) cry.” Duo told him blushing red.

“That’s……cute.” Wufei smirked.

“CUTE!(hic) It is not! Fuck you! (hic)” Duo said outraged.

“You are.” Wufei purred and rolled his hips forward again to prove his point; Duo gripped his shoulders hard, moaning. “Why are you crying?” he asked serious again.

“I just (hic)……(hic) I didn’t think that you cared (hic) about me it all. I didn’t think that (hic) someone would (hic) love me again.” He whispered softly as he tried to regain control of his breathing.

~~~~~~~~ “Duo only a fool wouldn’t cherish you for the wonder that you are.” Wufei said running his fingers through the other’s long bangs before leaning down to kiss him thoroughly. Wufei was very proud to only feel three more hiccups from his beloved.

He pulled out again thrusting into the angel beneath him, savoring the moan of pleasure. Their speed increased as they writhed against one another, each seeking to give as much as they were given. Wufei gripped the edge of the bed using the leverage to grind into Duo, rolling his hips upward and thrusting forward at the same time. Duo arched underneath him with a scream as he convulsively tightened his arms around Wufei’s chest.

“OH GOD YES!” He yelled. Wufei smirked even though Duo couldn’t see it because his eyes were closed tightly. He rolled his hips again and Duo violently shuddered, silent this time. Wufei began thrusting in and out of him with abandon, rolling his hips each time and pounding hard against his lover’s prostrate. The pants and moans he let lose were driving Wufei insane. He thought he could come just from the sound of Duo’s voice becoming higher pitched with passion. He slipped a hand around Duo’s throbbing erection and began to slowly pump him, still thrusting into him fast and steady. He quickly built speed until the motions of his hand matched his thrusts. Duo’s eyes snapped open as he came over Wufei’s hand, his violet depths seemed to swallow any resistance Wufei had left and pulled him down into oblivion as well. Screaming his release against his lover’s shoulder.
They lay against each other too sated to move and fell into the arms of sleep.//

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

^^ 03 is operational. Am on first level. Respond. ^^ Trowa’s soft voice hissed over his earpiece.

^^ 04 is good. Second level, searching. ^^

^^ 05 is clear. Second level, heading to third, searching. ^^

^^ 02 here, I’m clean. Second level, heading down to third, searching. ^^ he responded. The complex was three floors, ground level, sub-basement one(2nd floor), and sub-basement two (3rd floor), so most of it was underground.

^^ Copy that. Stay in contact. 03 out. ^^ Trowa said before leaving them in silence.

Duo checked his wrist-map pleased to find that is had been right so far. He stopped, hearing voices, placing his back against the wall before turning the corner.

“I love fucking that slut.”

“Which one? The one that used to fight like a fucking demon?”

“Yeah. The Japanese looking one. He’s so fucking hot.”

“Tight too. You’d think after all this time the whore ‘id be dead or something but what the hell. More for us.”
The two men laughed and Duo heard the boot steps coming toward him. He slid away from the hallway junction, crouching in a shadow, hoping to go unnoticed. The longer it took to leave dead bodies around the longer their presence would go unknown.
*Pass-by, pass-by* he pleaded silently. Two soldiers strolled into view, still talking to each other excitedly. They turned down the hallway that Duo was crouched in. He sprang forward quickly, his…long knife…fuck it, it was sword. The sword sank into the stomach of the first man and Duo pulled it upwards quickly, before sliding it free. The second guard just stared in open mouth horror. Duo pressed the blade against his throat.

“Where are the prisoners?” he hissed in a cold, even voice.

“Th…th…third lev…lev…” he stammered and Duo cut him off.

“Barracks?” he asked.

“Here.” He squeaked.
Duo jerked the blade to the side and the man’s head rolled across the floor. There were to be no survivors. *I could get used to using a sword.* he thought grimly as he wiped the blood from his blade.

^^ 03? 02. Have met with hostiles. Objective third level. Hostiles second. So says the little birdie. ^^

^^ Copy that 02. We’ll go with that intel for now. 04 and 05 Report. ^^

^^ 04. No hostiles here. Heading to level three with 02. ^^ Came Quatre’s voice.

^^ Negative 04. You and I will clear the path on level two. 02 head to level three and retrieve the objective. 05 leave the package. ^^

^^ Copy that 03. ^^ Quatre said.
^^ Copy that 03. ^^ Duo said.

^^ 05 here. No hostiles. Am already leaving package. ^^

^^ Copy that 05. ^^

Duo raced down the stairs to the third level, his cross bouncing against his chest as he ran. He looked at his wrist-map again. *If it were me, I’d put prisoners right…* “Here.” He said turning a corner and entering a dead end hallway lined with rusty metal door, each having a little barred window at the top.
“God damn it it’s cold in here.” He complained. “What’s behind Door #1?” Duo said knocking; he looked in the window, there was nothing. He scanned each of the rooms until he finally came to an occupied one. He kicked the door in, the wood to either side giving way under the force. The person in the room glared across the room.

“Stay the hell away from me you sick fucking bastards.” A broken voice hissed.

“Senator Nelson?” Duo questioned, even though he knew it was the right person from the mission pics. Better to give him a moment to calm down. His eyes lit with interest after a moment. “I’m your rescue crew.”

“Who the hell are you?” He asked as Duo pulled him to his feet, wrapping an arm around his waist.

“Call me 02.” Duo stated.

“I can’t call my savior a number.” He responded through teeth gritted against pain.

“Fine if it makes you happy you can call me Shini.” Duo said walking forward with his charge.

“Who are you really?” he asked.

“Trust me, its better if you don’t know.”
^^ 03, 02 objective is in my possession. Am proceeding to level two. ^^

^^ Copy 02. Path is almost secure. ^^

“No! There’s one other prisoner and I won’t leave that boy here. He already thinks I’m dead.” Nelson said trying to pull away.

“The Japanese?” Duo questioned still holding him tightly.

“How…” Nelson began.

“I overheard some soldiers.” Duo explained. “Where is he?”

“Last cell on the left.” Nelson gasped.

“You’re sure you want to stop for him?” Duo asked.

“I won’t leave without him.” he stated.
Duo leaned the man against the wall across from the cell, pressing a knife into his hands and turned to the last cell. “Don’t move Senator.” He ordered to the man.

“Actually Senator Nelson is my father.” He said. Duo turned back to him looking surprised.

“I owe him a dollar! I don’t believe it!” he exclaimed and turned away.

^^ Disregard previous 03. We have one straggler, objective will not leave otherwise. I owe you one dollar. ^^

^^ Copy that 02, we’ll be ready. ^^ Trowa promised him almost chuckling.

^^ Package is in place. Am proceeding to 02’s locale to assist in extraction. ^^ Wufei’s voice broke the line.

^^ Copy 05. ^^

Duo kicked in the door and walked into the dark room, no light made it here from the hall as most of them were burnt out on this end. His sharp eyes picked up nothing and he started to turn away in irritation. A breath of movement caught his eye and he stepped forward. A low whimper of fear greeted him.

“Hey lets get you outta here okay?” Duo said gently crouching in front of the figure who scrabbled against the wall to get away. “Its okay I’m not going to hurt you.” he said soothingly. He lifted the naked young man into his arms, his head lolling backwards. Duo shifted his weight sharply so that the boy’s head rested against his own broad shoulder. Because it was a boy, maybe twelve by his height, weight was no indicator at this point. He shivered in Duo’s arms as he left he cell.

“So are you a pacifist like your father?” Duo asked. Nelson Jr. shook his head. “Good. Here have an AK-47.” Duo said cheerfully to the dark-haired man.

“You lost your bet.” Wufei said approaching them with his hands in the air. A couple pairs of pants were gripped in one fist.

“Nelson met 05.” Duo said and Wufei’s hands dropped as Nelson stopped pointing the gun at him.

“What is it with you people and numbers?” he asked as Wufei helped him into the pants and wrapped an arm around his waist and they started forward.

“Fine alright! Met Dragon, happy now.” Duo said.
^^ 03, 05 and I have the objectives secure. We are proceeding to you locale. ^^

^^ Roger that team one. ^^ Trowa said. ^^ Path is clear almost. ^^

“He’s been saying almost clear since we got here.” He muttered. “Hey Dragon, tell ole Shini about our gift?” Duo asked.

“Good to go.” Wufei replied then frowned. “You’re taking too long.” He complained and stopped. He stood in front of Nelson and picked him up over his back and hurried on. The tired injured man didn’t even complain.

Small hands clutched at Duo’s shirt and sparred a glance downward. Black leather cuffs encased the boy’s wrist and Duo thought he felt a collar under all the matted, dirty hair. *What the hell did they do to this kid?* Duo asked his anger rising.

They made their way to the second level. Running through the body-strewn halls toward the rest of their group.

^^ Team two what is your locale? ^^ Duo asked.

^^ Two clicks over, one up. ^^ he responded. They headed toward the sound of gunfire.

“There’s just one more team ahead blocking the path. The compound leader is with them.” Trowa stated.

“Valin.” Nelson said fearfully and shivered as Wufei set him on the ground.

“That the straggler?” Trowa asked. Duo nodded. Trowa stared at the boy and got a very strange look on his face, but turned away before Duo could make any guesses. “I want to get them both out.”

“Who are you?” Nelson asked.

“03.” Trowa replied.

“I won’t call you a number.” He stated.

“Then call me Nasshingu[1].” He said after a moment spent ducking from the gunfire. Quatre’s head whipped around angrily. He may not have known Japanese but he knew what that word meant, Trowa had used it before. Duo almost felt like he should take Quatre’s gun from him.

“Someone’s sleeping on the couch tonight.” Duo said to Wufei with a nudge then fired his gun down the hallway. “Well I’m bored, so how’s about we kill these guys and blow this joint.” Duo suggested.

“You won’t get away!” an angry voice yelled.

“Bite me!” Duo replied. “Dick. What a jerk.”

“Leave my slave and I’ll let you go.” He yelled.

“Fuck off!!” Duo yelled. He was starting to get pissed off. Slave?! Who the hell did this cracker think he was? He passed the boy gently to Nelson who brushed the hair back from his face.

“Oh Wings what did he do to you?” Nelson whispered almost too quiet to hear. Time stopped nothing, else mattered. Prussian blue eyes stared up at him blankly out of a face he’d know anywhere. Duo stood to his feet slowly and passed Trowa and Quatre, who reached for him wildly. He walked a steady pace forward, dragging the tip of the sword to scrape along the ground. Soldiers poked their heads around the corner and Duo began to run. He moved the sword to an attack position and let lose a scream of fury. He sprang forward, past the flying bullets, not registering when one landed in his arm. He knocked away the guns, without them the men couldn’t fight him. He sliced into the soldiers until the were nothing more than a pile of flesh. One remained.

“Do you know me?” he hissed as he held the man at sword point. The man tried to stop his trembling and looked the person who held his life in their hands. A gasp caught in his throat as he pissed his pants.

“Know me I am death and you have taken what is mine.” He stated coldly.

“Violet.” He the man choked out just before Duo beheaded him. He cleaned and sheathed the sword walking back to the others. “Give him to me.” Duo demanded of Nelson. The young man looked unsure and made as if to pull away. “Give him to me or so help me I will kill you.” Duo promised evenly. Wufei held the other prisoner still while Duo took the small boy from him. He pushed the hair back again. Heero stared up at him in fear.
“It’s alright he won’t hurt you anymore. I’m going to take care of you now.” Duo promised. Heero laid his head weakly against Duo’s shoulder. He’d passed out before they even made it to the van.
