Aya and Yoji had seen Duo run out of the ball with Quatre right behind him.
"What do you think happened?" Yoji asked looking at Aya.
"Like I care," Aya sighed rubbing his eyes.
"Are you alright?" Yoji asked placing an arm around his red headed "partner".
"I'm fine Kudo. Stop being an annoying idiot and just keep an eye out for Schwarz." Aya ordered as he turned away from Yoji. To be honest, Aya didn't feel alright. He was tired and sore. Not to mention his eyes were irritated or something because he was having a hard time seeing. Everything was starting to blur. Aya knew that time was running out for him. That soon he would not be able to do anything. They had to hurry if he had a chance to live. And that was a big "IF". Aya remembered his last private conversation with Kip…
**Flash back**
"I need to know now what is happening to me." Aya talk Kip. The two were in Aya's room for some privacy.
"What do you mean Aya?" Kip asked a little confused. "About the poison?"
"Precisely. I need to know how long I have. What are the symptoms? And anything else you could think of. I know you didn't tell everyone the details but I need to know them now."
"Well the poison is fast acting. If it was put directly into your blood system, you would only have a couple of hours to live. Because it was placed by your mouth and I was able to give you the potion to slow the process, it went to your nervous system. It's a bit more painful when you die with it in you nervous system but you have a chance to live longer." Kip explained. "It will slowly start do destroy your brain. Sensory aids like seeing and feeling will fail first. Than your sense of smell, taste and hearing will leave. Finally it will affect your lungs and heart. I do not know which will be affected first. If it your lungs, you will suffocate to death. If it is you heart, you will have a cardiac arrest. Either way, when you reach that, nothing will be able to save you."
Slowly Aya nodded his head. "I understand."
"The more you rest, the longer it will take for the poison to act. The more you fight and work the less it will be before it's too late." Kip added intently. "You must be careful Aya. There are people in this world who need you."
Aya snorted in disbelief, "Ha, as if anyone would care if I die." Aya turned and walked out of the room leaving Kip shaking his head sadden.
**End of Flash back**
Yoji of course didn't believe Aya once bit about feeling fine. Aya was already starting to look a bit pale and he kept rubbing his eyes until they were red with irritation. Yoji was very tempted to call this mission over and take Aya home so that he could rest but he knew he couldn't. Aya would never call off a mission and Yoji couldn't just walk away from maybe the only chance of killing those bastards who hurt Aya and get the antidote before Aya became worse than he already is. But before he could decide, there was a big explosion and suddenly people were running away screaming.
"There here" Aya quickly rose and began to pull Yoji out to where the explosion was. There he saw Sevavia and Drarlath fighting Duo and Quatre. Ken and Omi joined them as Heero joined in the fight. The fight was over too soon with Heero and Quatre being taken.
Aya looked as Duo shouted at Heero and for a moment, Aya felt a bit of pain for how the braided fighter felt.
&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Duo" said a voice "Duo"
Duo couldn't concentrate. Heero. Heero was gone and it was all HIS fault.
"Duo" the voice said again
Duo felt something wet on his hands. Was it raining? Slowly he opened his eyes. He was kneeling in the grass. No, it wasn't rain. He was crying. "Heero?" he asked softly hoping it was all a bad dream.
"Well get him back" vowed the voice. The voice was closer to his ear now. He recognized it. Trowa. Duo turned to look as his silent friend beside him.
"I'm…I'm…" Duo couldn't finish.
"Well get them back" vowed Trowa once again.
"Max…Duo are you alright?"
Duo turned to Wu Fei. Everyone was around him. They all knew. They all knew it was his fault. He was the one who made Heero and Quatre get taken. He was the one who blew the mission. Duo opened his mouth to speak but no sound came out.
"Let's get back to the shop. We can regroup there and then go after the enemies." Aya suggested but it came out as an order.
$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$
Back at the shop Trowa tended to Duo's reopened injuries while Omi went on the computer trying to find any sign of where the missing members were.
"Trowa?" Duo asked softly when Trowa finished re-wrapping the bandages around Duo's chest.
"Yes Duo?" Trowa answered quietly, looking at Duo.
"I'm sorry" he replied quietly.
"Sorry? For what?" Trowa asked placing a hand onto Duo shoulder.
"For everything. For Quat" Duo answered "I know you must hate me. I know I do." He closed his eyes covering his face with his hands.
"Duo" sighed Trowa.
Duo felt someone pull him into a tight hug. He pulled his hands away far enough to see that it was Trowa. "Trowa?" he asked.
"I do not. I repeat. I neither do nor ever have hated you. Well get them back. We will! Trowa whispered forcefully into Duo's ear. "It's not your fault." Trowa felt Duo hug him back tightly.
"But…"
"Aya's an asshole. Baka. You are defiantly a baka. Nevertheless, you're OUR baka. The Gundam Wing's baka..." Trowa pulled away a little and wiped Duo's tear streaked face, "You're Heero's baka. And you know what?" Trowa wouldn't let Duo answer, "We wouldn't have it any other way and neither would Heero."
"Tro…" Duo began but Trowa was intrupted.
"Are you going to let some stick-up-his-butt jerk be right? Are you going to let Heero get hurt because you want to have a `poor me' moment?" a voice asked behind Duo.
He turned to see Wu Fei mad Zech standing behind him.
"Wu Fei…" Duo looked surprised.
"Look you loud mouth idiot. Heero's gone. Are we going to stand around while they keep him? We need your help."
"And you wouldn't let Quatre suffer. Would you?" Trowa asked softly.
"No" Duo replied quickly. "No! No I won't!" Duo stood up feeling energized. "The enemy has my Heero" Duo stood up, "Those bastards took MY Heero! They took him away and I haven't had a chance to make him fall in love with me!" Duo was starting to get fired up. "I am going to kill those assholes!"
Wu Fei smirked and started walk back into the mission room where the Weiss members were in.
"What are you smiling about?" glared Aya trying to fend off Yoji's attempts to care for him.
"Shinigami is here" he continued to smirk.
"Who?" asked Yoji as he tried to put a blanket around Aya for the fourth time.
"I think I almost found them." Omi cheered.
"How?" asked Ken coming up behind him boy friend.
"Well they didn't disappear from our last battle like they did in the pervious one." Omi explained. Omi looked at the faces that looked at him intently. "Therefore they must be in a closer proximity to the Central Hall where the ball was. I did a 20 mile search around the Central Hall and excluded all of the residential zones or heavy populated." Omi concluded. "That leaves only a limited amount of choices."
"They need a large amount of energy to travel from this world to another." Kip remembered.
"Good" Omi smiled turning back to the computer and began another search.
"Good" a cold voice said.
The occupants in the room turned to the door to see Duo. But it wasn't the Duo they knew so well. He was different. Calm, cold and very together, Duo quickly walked to the computer where Omi was.
"Duo? Are you alright?" Omi asked surprised in the different appearance the hyperactive gundam member usually had.
"The same. I am feeling more than fine Omi. I say we go in and let shinigami play." He smirked.

Near the cabin where Schwarz was residing there was a large damn and where house building. The members of Weiss and remaining members of Gundam Wing entered the building silently. The first room was deserted. There were bodies lying round.
Zech knelt beside one and felt for a pulls. "Dead" he said quietly.
"Bravo." Applauded Sevavia. "Very smart. I take back what I said about `dumb blonds.'"
The guys looked up to see Sevavia and Drarlath standing on the balcony above them. "Shall we join the fun?" Drarlath asked his sister.
"Oh lets," she laughed as he jumped off the balcony onto the ground floor.
"I'll kill you!" shouted Duo charging at Drarlath. Duo charged after Drarlath as Trowa Wu Fei, and Zech followed close behind. Duo tried to give his good right hook at Drarlath but he soon found himself flying towards the opposite wall.
"You fools" Drarlath, "You think your puny punches could actually hit me?"
At that moment, while Drarlath was distracted, Zech get close enough to get on good punch in the face sending Drarlath back to the wall.
"Good job Zech" Wu Fei complemented.
"Now you are really in trouble," growled Drarlath rising to his feet. He started muttering something but none of the guys could catch what it was.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
At the same time, Sevavia was fighting the Weiss members.
"Awww come on kitties. You can do better than that." As she turned into her true poisons form and escaped Yoji's weapon. She appeared close to Aya. "Want another go Aya?" she smiled.
"Aya! Get away!" shouted Yoji running towards the two.
"It's just a matter of time." She laughed as she dodged Ken's claws and Omi's daggers.
Aya wanted to attack. He really did but at the moment he couldn't see anything. There were no shaped in front of him. Just blurry pictures. Aya glared hard trying to force his eyes to focus but nothing worked. Aya knew that he couldn't just go around slashing everything that moved. He could end up killing someone. Someone not the enemy. He could hurt someone. Someone like Yoji…WAIT! Why the hell was HE worrying about Yoji? He could give less about Kudo…right? Yoji did seem to worry a lot about him…
While Aya was lost in thought, Yoji had lunged forward and pushed Aya out of Sevavia. "Are you okay?" Yoji asked cradling Aya's face.
"Yoji?" Aya asked. He couldn't see the blond a few inches from him.
"Of course. Are you alright?" Yoji asked again slowly getting up and helping Aya up.
Aya realized that his face must be expressing some sort of fear. "Of course I'm fine Kudo." Aya glared pulling away from Yoji's lose hold.
"Fine" sighed Yoji looking back towards Sevavia.
Then there was a voice being heard. Softly at first, but then soon growing in volume. It was Drarlath. He had created a shielded for himself and was in a deep trance. The ground started to shake as the volume rose to a near yell.
"Run!" shouted Zech pushing Wu Fei and Duo in front of him.
"Help!" shouted a voice behind the guys. It was Trowa. One of his legs was caught in between a fallen boulder.
"Trowa!" Duo shouted turning back to save his fallen friend.
"Go!" shouted Wu Fei as he pushed Duo towards Zech. "I'll get him." He ordered.
"Wu Fei" Zech called out as he watch run back to where Trowa was.
"I'll meet up with you later" he called back before disappearing in the dust.
"Wu Fei!" Duo shouted as he began to run in his friends direction.
"Come on Duo. We have to go!" Zech shouted over the noise of the fallen ceiling.
"No! I have to get Wu Fei!" Duo struggled to get out of Zech's tight grip. “Don't you care? Don't you care about you boyfriend?”
"Of course I care Duo! But we have to go! If we don't then his efforts were made in vain and that's worse that letting him go alone." Zech shouted as he saw piece of the ceiling was about to crush them. "Move Duo!" Zech pushed himself and Duo out of the way and into a opening in the wall. “
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
As the dust cleared, the members of Weiss Kreuz and Gundam Wing surveyed their surroundings. Duo and Wu Fei were trapped in a hole in the wall. Ken and Omi had been able to escape and now were trapped outside of the condemned building. The floor had given out on Aya and Yoji and now they were down in the basement of the building.
&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&&
"Ken-kun" Omi called out as the dust settled. "Ken-kun?" he called louder.
"Omi!" Ken yelled running towards Omi, "Are you alright Omi?" Ken asked worried as he wrapped his arms around Omi tightly.
"I'm fine Ken-kun. I was just worried about the others. I hope they are alright." Omi sighed leaning into Ken's body.
"Same here" Ken said softly. "I think we need to get back in there and save our friends." Ken nodded.
"Oh of course Ken-kun. Why didn't I think of that?" Omi smiled.
"Cause even I have to get a good idea once in a while." Ken smirked as he brushed some of the dirt off of Omi's face.
"True" Omi mused smiling.
&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&
"Is it clear?" whispered Zech to Duo.
"I believe so." whispered Duo back. "Thank you." Duo smiled at his friend.
"No problem." Zech smirked back, "I couldn't let you have all the fun."
"True" Duo smiled back, "Now how do you suppose we get out of this hole in the wall to save our friends?"
"Well…" Zech began to think for a moment.
“I have an idea” Duo grinned, standing up he quickly pulled Zech to his feet and began to pull him down a dark hall, "I say we charge in and let shinigami come up with an idea later." He laughed, "These bastards are going to pay when I get done with them"
&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&&&&&& &&&&&&&&&&
As the dust cleared, Aya began to slowly wake up. He was laying on something hard and something else was pushing hard against his back. Aya blinked several times but he still couldn't see anything. Whatever was pressing up against him smelled of cigarettes. "Yoji" he whispered the first name that came to mind. He hears a moan and a warm breath on his neck. "Yoji?" he called again.
"Yo" Yoji smirked pulling up a bit and looking into Aya's face.
"I…" Aya opened his eyes but realized that he couldn't see. He couldn't see anything. He was officially blind.
"What's wrong Aya?" Yoji began to get worried. "Are you alright? Did you get hurt?"
Aya couldn't stand the sound of worry in Yoji's voice. "I'm fine Kudo" he replied coldly. It was true. The fall didn't hurt him. He had been fortunate to fall onto some old emptied cardboard boxes that cushioned his fall. The only pain he could feel was Yoji's body pressing hard against him. "Get off" he ordered.
Yoji laughed. It was soft but never the less it was a laugh. "I'd love to but I can't" he said softly.
"What?" Aya demanded and started top push at Yoji's lanky body. "I said get off!" Aya stopped when he heard Yoji cry out in pain. "Yoji?" he asked placing one hand onto Yoji's waist and feeling something wet. Whatever it was smelled not to good. It smelled like blood. Aya knew what fresh blood smelled like. They were murderers. It was blood. "You're bleeding."
"No shit Sherlock" Yoji sighed.
Aya felt around the area. It wasn't just Yoji on top of him. It was concrete and metal from their fall from about that was on top of Yoji. That's when it hit Aya. When Yoji and he fell, Yoji must have put Aya's body underneath Yoji's. Yoji was letting himself crushed while Aya was fine.
"You fucking idiot!" growled Aya.
"Hey now! I just saved your fucking life! The least you can do is thank me." Yoji yelled back wincing once again as he tried to pull out from under the collapsed ceiling.
"Don't move idiot" commanded Aya reaching out and grabbing a hold of Yoji's shoulder.
"Look Aya, I'm stuck. I don't think I could go on even if I wasn't being smashed. I think you can wiggle out from the top. Aya you go and help them. You make sure what ever is affecting Schwarz is stopped."
"Yoji…" Aya started but Yoji stopped him.
"Aya we cannot both stay here and wait for more of the roof to fall. If you go at least…"Yoji couldn't go on. Looking away from Aya he sighed, "At least you can help." `And be safe'. Yoji silently thought.
"Yoji" Aya started again.
"I don't think I can last holding this up much longer." Yoji confessed. "Aya you…"
"Baka Kudo" Aya snapped grabbing Yoji's chin and making Yoji face him, "I couldn't get out of here if I wanted too alone." Aya eyes were fierce. Aya knew he wouldn't make it on his own as much as he disliked the thought of being helpless. He couldn't see a thing. Not even Yoji in front of him. "I can't…"
"You said you were alright. What's wrong?" Yoji asked looking into Aya's sightless eyes.
"I…I won't let you die here…alone." Aya said then immediately regretting it. "I can't get out on my own." Aya whispered so softly that even Yoji had a hard time hearing it.
"You can't…" Yoji repeated, "What's wrong?"
"I can't…" Aya started to shake a bit, "The…the poison…I can't…"
"Aya! What can't you do?" Yoji demanded.
"See!" Aya yelled, "I can't fuck'n see!" Aya yelled.
"Oh Aya" Yoji sighed leaning his head onto Aya's shoulder briefly.
"What?" Aya growled.
"I'll guide you out of the room. Just listen to my voice." Yoji thought quickly, "Wiggle out from under me and I'll try to get you out of this room. After that just head straight, you're bound to either get out of the building completely or at least run into one of the other guys."
"I can't" Aya confessed turning his blind eyes away from Yoji.
"Why?" Yoji began to worry. "You can still move right? Just trust me. I swear I'll get you out."
Aya snorted and it almost sounded like a laugh. "Trust you? You? Why?"
"Why not" demanded Yoji offended.
"Why? Because people cannot be trusted! Their more like to stab you in the back than help you out!" Aya yelled. Yoji looked intensely at Aya. Did Aya really think that of him? That he would backstab and hurt him?
"Aya" Yoji whispered softly.
"What…" Aya was cut off at the touch of another person's lips pressed up against him fiercely.
Yoji pulled away a few inched, "I would never. Never let anything happen to you. I swear!" Yoji vowed kissing Aya once more before pulling away.
"Why the hell did you do that?" demanded Aya.
"Why not?" Yoji yelled back.
"Fuck you!" Aya yelled punching Yoji in the cheek.
"Why!?" yelled Yoji.
"What?"
"Why?" Yoji began, "Why do you shut all of your friends out? Why do you shut ME out?"
"Yoji" Aya whispered
"God! Why the hell don't you ever just tell me anything! Why do I have to guess? Do you really hate me and everyone else so much? Is your sister the only one you care for?"
"Yoji"
"Damn it I nearly all but told you I want you," Yoji shouted, the words echoing down the emptied halls.
"AND YOU'LL JUST LEAVE AFTER OR ONCE YOU GET BORD!" Aya yelled. "I know exactly how you think and what you do. You fuck someone and then leave once you're through. I am not going to go through with that! I can't live like that!" Aya shut his mouth as he realized what words escaped his lips.
Yoji looked up wide eyed at him. Leave him? Is that what Aya thought. "You think I only want a quick fuck?" he asked surprised. “Is that what you think?"
"I don't think it's for my charming personality." Aya replied sarcastically.
"Damn it Aya! I love you! I…I fucking care about you! Why the hell did you think I've been after you for so long." Yoji sighed.
"…"Aya opened his mouth but then shut it.
"I wanted to woo you. Make you more open to me. I wanted to give you roses and presents…"
"We work in a flower shop and I'm not a girl." Aya glared at the thought of being treated as a woman.
"I know but still…"Yoji sighed "It doesn't matter anymore. There's no way we both will get out of here."
"Yoji…" Aya couldn't think. Yoji really care? About him? More than a quick fling? He loved him? "Yoji I…" Aya hated himself. He couldn't even speak anymore after Yoji's confession. Aya had finally found someone…but…
"Before you even start to doubt my words…" Yoji kissed Aya once more before breaking away and lifting his body slightly. "Now get out of here before I get up and drag you out kicking and screaming." Yoji smirked trying to ignore the immense pressure on his legs and back. This time Aya did what he was told. He carefully wiggled out form underneath Yoji and was free from the collapsed ceiling. "Okay now just head…" Yoji stopped when he saw Aya walk behind him and felt the metal and concrete began to shift above him. "What are you doing?" demanded Yoji.
"Getting you out baka" Aya said smirking as he pushed some lighter bits of concrete and metal off.
"Why?"
"So we can kill some pain in the asses and then…" Aya said feeling his way towards Yoji's face once again, "and then continue" Aya cupped Yoji's face with one hand and placed a rough kiss onto Yoji.

Well that's another chapter! Looks like things are becoming hopeful for everyone! Sorry I've made Duo such a crybaby but I believe the one's who express the most emotion, Duo for example, expresses both happy and sad emotions. That's why he was so depressed.
Well please read and review! I LOVE reviews and consider every one's opinion.
