Duo's sister

I have temporarily put Bonnie Swan on hold to work on one of my older fics I don’t own Gundam wing this story is written for my pleasure. So enjoy.
PS I am editing this from my mediaminer account so please bear with me. Thanks please Review Sorry about any spelling errors

Amber Mouse Maxwell

She is Dou's little sister she has been Duo's silent shadow for as long as she could walk. She grew up on the streets as well. When Solo and the others got sick she also got sick with the plague. She watched silently in the shadows when Solo had died in Duo's arms and Duo named himself. This story starts after Duo has become the leader. Right before the military base catches them. It gives a look at the past at what drove Duo to become the great Destroyer that he is today. This story starts in the past and I plan in taking it to the future. This is my first Gundam Fic so please be kind.

"Duo I'm hungry." a soft voice came from the corner of the ally where the gang was staying. Duo looked over the ranks of the gang. They were lean and exhausted from where the virus had taken a toll on them. They had lost some, Solo one of their biggest losses, during the plague.

"I know Amber," Duo began but was cut off by Amber.

"Not Amber, call me Mouse that's what Solo called me." Amber was forced to stop talking when a coughing fit racked her small body.

"Alright,’’ Duo continued “first I have a few things to take care of. Mouse, you're with me today. Toby take the other and see if you can find anything to salvage today.”

Duo leaned down and picked up Mouse small body. For being six years old she looked to be only four. "You need to eat more kido," he told her with a grin as he left for the open-air vendors of the colony.
All right Mouse close your eyes and hold out your hand” he told her eight-year-old Duo put a silver heart locket around her neck. It had a drawing of each of them in it.

"Well let's go see if Toby found any thing worth salvaging." Duo told her as he picked Mouse up and placed her on her shoulders once again.
Duo took them to the tree in front of the Federation base where the others where waiting.

"Duo this looks to be a good as place as any." Toby told him.

"All right then spread out no one goes with out a partner. Foxey you take Mouse. I'll go by myself." Duo told a blonde hair boy no older than himself.

Each boy went a separate way. They knew to yell out if they saw a soldier. Duo was headed back from the bases food supplies when he came face to face with an armed parole of soldiers escorting the remaining band of kids towards the front gate of the compound towards a man and a woman. What made Duo go to the group was the fact that Mouse was being carried by Toby and two others were supporting Foxey. Duo did a double take when he saw a trickle of blood on Mouse's face.

Duo didn't even give a second thought before he ran out to the group and took charge of the small girl." Toby what happen to? Mouse who cut her?" he demanded.

Toby looked at the young girl that Duo was now carrying and to Foxey who was being helped a long and finally to one of the solders that had a cut that was freely bleeding.

"One of the solders found us and sent up an alert. They had rounded us all up except for Mouse and Foxy. They had sent a soldier after them where they had been reported in the clothing reserve. From what Foxy told me when he and Mouse where brought to us was that Mouse had bitten the soldier that had been sent after them on the arm and he had hit her. After you arrived she hasn't awaken yet and it's been over two hours. Foxy jumped in and protected her from being hurt when one of them hit him from behind in the leg. We think it might be broke though." Toby concluded.

"You did a great job Toby pass it on to Foxy and tell him thank you for me. Do you know what is to happen to us now?" Duo questioned the group of kids.

No one answered right away. After a few moments of uncomfortable silence a small boy in line behind Duo spoke up. "They are sending us to the Maxwell church. They say that they have found all of us homes except for Mouse. No one would want a girl with such a scar on her face." the boy told them.

The soldiers led to group to the man and women that were waiting at the front gait with a large bus to take the children to the church.

"Hello children I'm Father Maxwell and this is Sister Helen we’re taking you to the church to see if we can’t find all of you a permit home." Father Maxwell told them before he let Sister Helen rush to the aid of Duo, Mouse, and Foxy.

Sister Helen ran to Duo to take Mouse from him. "What is your name child?" she questioned him.

"I have no name but if you must call me something you can call me Duo. I'll take care of her she is my responsibility. If you must call her any thing call her Mouse though her name may be Amber." Duo told Sister Helen with a warning in his voice when he spoke of Mouse.

"Of course she must be very important to you I just want to help her clean the cut on her cheek and neck so she doesn't get sick with a fever. Is she your sister Duo?" sister Helen asked him.

Duo completely taken by surprise by her attitude could only nod his head.

"Well then Duo, why don't you let Sister Helen take care of the cut and you help me with your friend? I take it your the leader so can you please tell me some of their names?" Father Maxwell asked.

"Sir, only a few of us have names." Duo told him before he handed Mouse to Toby. "The blonde being helped is Foxy. The one with black short hair that is now holding Mouse is Toby, the one on Foxy's right is Greg and the small one in back is Tommy." Duo told Father Max well.

Father Maxwell didn't say a thing as he helped the children onto the bus.

"Here Toby hand her to me," Duo told Toby from the front of the bus. Toby handed Mouse to Duo without saying a word. Duo went to the back of the bus where there were two long bench seats he placed Mouse on one and went back to the front to help Foxy to the other before he sat down with Mouse and laid her head on his back. Before they had started to go any where Sister Helen was there with a Clean rag for Duo to wash off the cut on Mouse's head.

Duo washed off the cut and let out a gasp of surprise, for the cut was in the shape of a scythe. "Come on Amber wake up. Don't leave me." Duo softly whispered to the girl though Sister Helen heard him and her heart went out to the young boy and girl. Sister Helen shook her head sadly though in thought 'no one would want the girl now because of the mark and look at how thin she is she can't be more than four or five.

When they got to the church Sister Helen and Father Maxwell showed the children a large empty room with three rows of beds.

"You children may sleep any were you would like. But first we need to get you all cleaned up." sister Helen told them. "Duo dear why don't you go first I'm sure one of your six boys will watch her while you clean up." She continued.

"Toby you watch her if she wakes up send someone after me." Dou told Toby after giving the matter total thought.

"Very well than young Duo, follow me please." Father Maxwell asked him. Before leading Duo to a room off from the large bedroom.

In the other room Mouse was placed on a large bed and a feather comforter was placed over her. Thirty minutes after Duo had left she started to move, mumble, and wake up. "Tommy go get Duo." Toby ordered.

Tommy went out the door that Duo had gone out and returned moments later with a clean and freshly dressed Duo. His once matted hair layed down his back in a long pigtail.
