Warnings: Heero will be OOCish. ANGST

Duo groaned as he woke up. He had a killer headache and wondered what he had to drink last night. Duo opened his eyes only to shut them again when the bright light of the sun blinded him. He felt as if knifes were being inserted into his brain. He opened his eyes a little and noticed the light had been dimmed. He slowly opened his eyes and when it didn't hurt he opened them fully. He noticed he wasn't at home, and he couldn't remember what happened the other night. He looked over to his left and saw Trowa and Wufei standing next to the door, looking at him. They didn't look very happy. Duo tried to speak but his throat was too dry to speak. Wufei silently went into the bathroom and came out with a glass of water and gave it to Duo. Duo started to sit up slowly because he found if he moved to fast he would get incredibly dizzy. Wufei handed him the glass of water and Duo took it. He took several sips before he was able to speak properly.

"What happened and where am I?"

"You're in my room, and that is what we would like to know."

Duo looked confused by the answer he was given.

"What do you mean Trowa?"

"What was the last thing you remember from last night?"

"I remember winning the game then going to the party. I was talking to Mueller about something. Then Heero came over with our drinks. I was watching how much I drank to make sure I didn't get too drunk. Then nothing."

"We figured as much. Listen, we think someone put something in your drink."

"Who would do that?"

"We have an idea but we can't prove it yet. Jason and Quatre are out looking for clues. Someone called him about it and they are going to go talk to him."

"Okay. But I do have an idea to who could have done this."

"Who?"

"Hilde. You know she is out for my blood."

"We thought so too but she was on the other side of the room and hadn't come near you the whole night."

"Well she must have had someone do it for her. I just know she is behind it."

The other two nodded their heads in agreement. An awkward silence settled in the room. Wufei decided to leave the room to make some calls while Trowa stayed behind to watch Duo. Duo began to pick through his braid when he thought of Heero and how worried he must be.

"Trowa do you think I could use the phone. I need to call Heero and tell him I'm alright. He must be worried."

"I don't think that is a wise choice at this moment."

"Huh, what do you mean?"

It struck Duo right then. Flashes from last night began bombarding his mind. He saw them leaving the party. He saw Heero on the ground under him trying to fight back. He saw the torn shirt and pants. He heard Heero crying for him to stop, pleading with him. Duo put his hands over his ears and closed his eyes tightly trying to block out what he was remembering. One image stuck in his mind, the sight of Heero's blue eyes with tears streaming out of them. They looked scared of him.

Trowa had watched the whole transformation but didn't move to help. He didn't know how too. Duo started to shake like a leaf and Trowa leaned over to make sure he was alright. Duo attached himself to Trowa and looked up pleadingly at him.

"Trowa please tell me it's not true, tell me I didn't do what I think I did."

"Do you remember?"

"All I see are flashes and they aren't pretty. I see Heero beneath me with a torn shirt and pants. I see him crying. Please…please…tell me I didn't do anything bad."

Trowa kept silent trying to think of the best way to break it to Duo. Duo crumbled onto the bed when Trowa didn't answer. That was answer enough. He had done something horrible to the one he loved. He pulled his knees to his body and started to rock back and forth, crying and mumbling.

"I raped him, I raped him, oh god I raped him…"

Over and over he said this. He didn't hear or feel anything around him. All he could think of was the pleading blue eyes and all he could hear was his pleading for him to stop.

Wufei came back into the room and was in shock of what he saw. Trowa was trying to get Duo to listen to him but Duo wouldn't stop rocking back and forth. In fact he wasn't responding. He looked to be in his own world.

"Trowa what happened?"

"He wanted to call Heero, I told him it wasn't a good idea. Then he started to remember and now he thinks he raped Heero. I can't get through to him to tell him he didn't."

Wufei rushed over and tried to help Trowa snap Duo out of it. No amount of cajoling or soothing words worked. Wufei decided to take drastic measures, he slapped Duo hard. Duo was shaken from his thoughts and looked up at Wufei. Tears were streaming down his face. He knew he deserved the slap and waited for the rest of his punishment.

"Now are you going to listen to us?"

Duo nodded his head. He knew he deserved what ever he got.

"You didn't rape Yuy."

Duo stared at Wufei shocked.

"But…"

"No buts, you didn't. You tried but we pulled you off before you went any further. All you did was rip his shirt and pants. You didn't even hurt him physically."

"Really?" Duo asked in a small voice.

"Yes. Now go give him a call. He knew it wasn't your fault. I think he's worried sick about you."

"Thanks Wufei, Trowa."

Duo was relieved that he hadn't raped Heero but he knew that he almost did. That was unforgivable. Trowa and Wufei just nodded their heads in acknowledgement to his thanks and helped Duo off the bed. The three of them left the room to find the phone and give Heero a call.

Heero was sitting in his room watching the phone that he had brought in here. Wufei had called a few minutes ago and said that Duo had woke up and would be calling him soon. Relena and Dorothy were sitting next to him. They had brought him home the other night and stayed the night with him. Just in case they were needed. Heero watched the phone hoping it would ring. When it finally did, He reached for it but Dorothy got to it first.

"Hello, Yuy Residence, Dorothy speaking."

"Do…Dorothy? Is H-He-Heero there?"

"Yes he is, who is calling?"

"It's me Duo."

"Oh, hold on."

"Heero, it's Duo do you want to speak with him."

Heero held out his hand for the phone. Dorothy sighed.

"Are you sure?"

Heero sighed. He didn't know how many times he had to tell Dorothy and Relena that he was fine but they refused to believe him.

"I'm fine, give me the phone."

Dorothy sighed and gave the phone to Heero. Relena and Dorothy had already decided that if Duo caused more distress to Heero that they would stop the call.

"Duo?"

"Heero. Are you okay?"

"Yes, I'm fine. How are you?"

Heero heard a sob come through the phone.

"H-heero, I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. There is no excuse for what I did. I should have controlled myself better…I should have…"

"Listen Duo, I don't blame you. I just need to know what happened."

"I…was drugged. I think Hilde had someone drug my drink. You've got to believe me, I would never do anything you didn't want."

"Duo, calm down. I'm fine. I know you would never consciously hurt me."

"Thank you. I want to make this up to you."

"Okay. I have an idea. How about we meet somewhere. I need to see you."

"Where do you want to meet?"

"How about the food court in the mall in about an hour."

"O-okay. I'll bring Trowa and Wufei with me."

"Alright I'll bring Relena and Dorothy."

"See ya soon, Heero."

"Bye Duo. I'll see you at the mall."

Duo hung up the phone and told Wufei and Trowa what was going on. Trowa took the phone and called Quatre's cell. He told them where they were going and to meet them there. After that, the three of them left Trowa's house and went to Duo's. Duo changed quickly and soon were on their way to the mall.

When they got there, Heero was already waiting for him. Duo slowly walked up to him and put his hand out to touch Heero's cheek but pulled it back when he saw Heero flinch. Duo immediately retracted his hand and fell to his knees sobbing.

Heero's mind flashed to the night before and he flinched when Duo put his hand out. He didn't mean to do it, it just happened. He watched as Duo's face crumbled and he fell to the floor and started to sob. Heero waved off the others and kneeled down next to Duo. He gathered the man into his arms and started to rock him. He heard Duo mumbling and leaned in closer to Duo.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I'm sorry…"

"Shh…Duo it's okay. I know you're sorry. I'm sorry too."

Heero's comforted Duo while the others surrounded them creating a barrier for them. Through the haze that Duo was in he heard Heero's voice. He followed the voice until he could clearly hear what was being said. He felt even more horrible when he realized that Heero was apologizing.

"You have nothing to be sorry for. It wasn't your fault. I'm such a horrible person. I tried to rape you. I'm so sorry. I…I…"

Duo couldn't think properly. He crawled out of Heero's arms and stood up quickly. Heero stood and looked up at him. All Duo could see was Heero's blue eyes and then the vision of those crying eyes overlapped them. He cried out in horror and backed away. Those sad crying eyes followed him and he couldn't back up fast enough. He felt the overpowering urge to run. He turned and took off. He just kept running and running, not caring where he went. He finally stopped and looked to see where he was. He found himself in a park. He always felt safe at this park and he knew no one would find him. He never told anyone about this place. He found the tree, which was his favorite hiding place and climbed up it. He seated himself in the tree and started to cry.

Heero looked quizzically as Duo stood so fast. He saw a look of horror come over Duo's face and watched as Duo backpedaled, turned and ran from them. Wufei and Trowa tried to follow but they couldn't catch him. He was too fast. Wufei and Trowa came back to see Heero sitting in a chair stunned while Dorothy and Relena tried to snap him out of it. Relena noticed they were back and turned to them.

"Did you catch him?"

"No, he's too fast."

"Darn. Okay, well we'll just have to find him later. First we have to get Heero to snap out of it."

It took a few minutes of cajoling but they finally got him to come around. He looked sad that Duo had run but decided to give Duo some space. Just then Jason and Quatre walked up to them.

"Well we've confirmed it was Hilde. Mueller was the one who called me. He felt horrible so he told us what happened." Quatre said.

He looked at the rest and noticed that Duo wasn't there.

"Where's Duo."

"He got upset and took off. He was too fast and we couldn't catch him. We don't know where he went."

"We should find him."

"Wait, give him time. He needs to have some space. I have some more bad news." Jason said. He looked concerned.

"What is it Jason?"

"I was waiting for Quatre to bring the car around when…"

->->->->->->->->Flashback->->-> ->->->->->->->->

Jason was on his way out of school, where he and Quatre had met Mueller. Quatre was going to get the car so Jason didn't have to walk all the way out there on crutches. Jason heard someone talking near the gym and was going to ignore it when he recognized one of the voices belonging to Hilde. He quietly made his way over and stopped far enough away so he couldn't be seen but close enough to hear everything. The other voice he couldn't recognize right then.

"Do you understand what you have to do?"

"Yes."

"Good. I don't want that street rat to leave the field walking."

"Trust me, he won't be. Now about the payment."

"You'll get paid after the game once you have fulfilled your end of the bargain."

"Okay. Do I get a preview of what I'll be getting?"

"If you want."

The next few minutes were filled with kissing sounds and then pants. Jason made a face at that. He didn't think Hilde would sell herself for whatever she wanted.

"We have a deal?"

"Oh yes…sweet thing."

"Good. Now if anyone asks, we never had this discussion. I don't know you and you don't know me. Understood?"

"Understood."

"Lovely."

Jason hurried away. He found Quatre waiting for him at the front of the school and he hurriedly got in. He looked back to make sure Hilde hadn't seen him. When they finally left school grounds he sighed in relief.

"What's the matter Jason?"

"I think Duo and Heero's problem just got worse. I'll tell you later when we get back to the others."

Quatre nodded and sped up a little more. Judging from Jason's face it wasn't good.

->->->->->->->->->->->->-> ;->->->->->->->->->->->->

"That does sound bad. But what does Hilde have planned now and who was she talking too?"

"I don't know Relena. I know I've heard that voice before but I can't place where. We'll just have to watch out for both Duo and you, Heero."

Heero nodded his head but he wasn't really paying attention the conversation. All he could think of was Duo's face when he left. He wanted to know what caused that reaction. He needed to talk to Duo about it. He didn't care what the others said. He would search for Duo himself.

Duo was sitting up on one of the limbs of the tree. His braid was held firmly in his hands. His eyes were open but unseeing of the world around him. All he could see was the pleading blue eyes and all he could hear was the pleading voice of his beloved. Pleading for him to stop.
