If u thought the last 1 was a cliffhanger...

Betrayal?? Part II

Heero stepped through the door and the first thing
that he noticed was that the house was unnaturally
quiet. In fact it was downright silent. He should at
least be able to hear Duo making noise. He pulled out
his gun and held it ready his body tense in
anticipation. He heard a small noise from the sitting
room and edged towards the door
"Stop prowling around outside Heero and come in"
Quatre’s voice called from the room. Heero lowered his
gun but did not put it away. Then he walked slowly in.
What he saw completely shocked him! Duo was kneeling
on the ground his shoulders slumped forward in
unconsciousness. His hands were tied behind his back.
Trowa and Wufei stood to one side of the helpless teen
while Quatre stood to the other...pointing a gun at
Duo. The only sign that the Japanese pilot was
remotely surprised was the slightly raised eyebrow

   Heero calmly raised his gun and pointed it at
Quatre, Trowa didn’t appear to thrilled at this move.
"I wouldn’t do that if I were you" Quatre stated
"Whets going on??" Heero demanded
"Were the ones giving the orders now!!" Quatre snapped
"You'll do whatever we say; now sit down!" Heero
decided to obey in order to ensure Duos safety and he
took a seat on the couch
"Nnngh..." groaned Duo as he started to come round "My
head..." he stopped talking as he remembered what had
happened earlier and he looked up.

   Duo looked dazed, like someone had hit him in the
side of the head with a mallet. Quatre grabbed a
fistful of hair and pulled up his head. Duo moaned
softly as the stabbing pain in his head worsened from
Quatre’s rough handling
"Welcome back to the world of the living Sleeping
Beauty" Quatre said sarcastically
"What’s wrong with u Qu-man? Did I do something wrong?"
Duo asked worriedly " If I did I’m sorry, just tell me
what it was and I’ll set it right" he pleaded. Duos
eyes met Heero’s and he saw the concern in his eyes and
it genuinely surprised him

   Quatre had seen them looking at each other. He
smirked and gestured to the other two. They grabbed
Duo roughly from the ground. Duo winced in agony,
still too groggy to even attempt escape from his
captors. They tossed him on the couch where Heero was
sitting. He landed half on half off the pilot. He
strained to get upright but failed due to his bound
arms. Heero caught him and gently pulled him up beside
himself letting Duo lean on his shoulder for support.
Duo flushed red with embarrassment. He felt confused
and scared and couldn’t understand why Heero was being
so nice to him

   How?? Heero tried to think what could have caused
the others to act like this. He just couldn't think of
anythi- Wait a second!! How could he not have noticed
it before...Duos illness wasn’t caused by food
poisoning alone it was also an allergic reaction to
the food, or as the case may be the drug in the food
that they had been given in the prison call. This
explained why Duo wasn’t affected by this temporary, or
at least he hoped it was only temporary, madness. He
began to wonder how long it would be before the
effects of the drug wore off and what would happen
between then and now. His thoughts were interrupted by
Quatre.

   "Now" Quatre began "Here's the plan" He started to
explain Duos face paled and he looked absolutely
stunned. Heero thought that the American might faint.
Heero’s face was the same as ever...expressionless.
Quatre’s mouth quirked into a smile.
