Heero could only see Duo and the blood.
�Bye Heero.� He heard Duo whisper before closing his eyes. The others had rushed up and stood at the doorway except for Quatre.
�DUO!! Allah no!� HE scrambled over to the ex-pilot and best friend. Heero and himself ripped off the sheet from the bed and tried to stop the flowing blood that gushed from his wrists.

(Winner Memorial Hospital)

The doctor came from the room shaking his head. �I�m quite sorry-�

�Tell me his dead and I�ll kill you.� Heero said evenly. The others agreed not paying his outburst any mind.
The Doctor was a little shaken but stood firm, �No gentleman he is not dead. But I think because of what happened to him he wanted to ed his life.� They handed Quatre a business card.

�Rape Therapy!� He shouted. His eyes clouded with worry. �Doctor-�
Heero brushed past them all and went into Duo�s room closing the door behind him.

�Duo...�

The tubing and wiring was everywhere on he small pilot. �How could he have not told anyone. Rape?�  The thought made him angry. Angry that he couldn�t help Duo when he was sad earlier and that those guys would take advantage of Duo. They would die for certain. He noticed the glistening tears that made their way down the heart shaped face.

///Well I guess she just closed her eyes,
and just imagined everything�s alright.
But she did not hide her tear,
because they were sent to wash away those years. ///

Heero carefully leaned over and brushed his lips on his cheek, kissing away the tears. �Duo, you have to wake up and get better. We�ll help you.�

�Heero.....�

Duo got up and bounced his way downstairs as always with a semi-pleasant smile gracing his features. �Need Sugar!� He continued into the kitchen where he froze.
�When do you think he�ll tell us?� A familiar almost feminine voice asked.
All the pilots minus himself were sitting at the table discussing about him.

�I say we just go and confront him.� WuFei slammed his fist onto the table making his glass shake. �There�s no sense waiting here if we know he won�t tell us!�

�But we�re aren�t sure, WuFei.� Quatre sighed. �We still have doubt. Maybe he�s trying to face his demons by himself. Duo�s smart and a strong person I�m sure he can figure it out.�

It was Trowa�s turn to speak of the matter, �But being raped might make one think he�s weak. He might feels this way now. You know he�s always trying not to be a burden on us. So he might not come to us. What do you think Heero?�

Heero sat with his arms folded and his eyes looking downward. �I think that the best strategy is WuFei�s. We need to confront him with the problem and see if we can get him to go to a psychiatrist. He won�t open up and I don�t think he can handle this on his own.�

They all heard a set of running feet and the door slam shut. They all cursed and ran after Duo.
 
 

///My angers violent,
but still I�m silent as tragedy strikes at home.///

�Danmit! Where could he have gone?!� WuFei cursed in his own language as he threw his coat down onto the floor.

Quatre picked up the coat and placed it upon the couch. �We�re not sure where he could be but we do know that he has to be on the colony. He hasn�t touched any of our accounts so he must be here.� He looked to Trowa for comfort. � Heero is still looking for him he�ll find him�

(1:00 A.M.)

Heero breathed heavily as he carried the small bundle in his arms. Duo had been at a church not too far away. Maybe he thought he could find sanctuary there. As he walked into the Winner mansion he was confronted with a grief stricken Quatre and a worried Trowa.

�Is he ok? He looks like he�s freezing! Let me� Quatre reached out a hand toward Duo.

�I�ll take care of him.� Heero said flatly.

�H-Heero?�

�I said I�ll take care of him. He�ll be fine.� He strode up the staircase to his room.�
 

*~*~*~*~

�...I know you were raped Duo. But that�s no reason to hide your pain. So stop pretending to be happy and tell me who did this?� Heero finished his little speech and waited for a reply.

///I know this decadence is shared by million,
remember you�re not alone.
Well if guess you just closed your eyes,
and just imagined everything�s alright.
But do not hide you tears,
because they were sent to wash away those years. ///

Duo looked down into his lap as he started to shake lightly. They turned into racked sobs which he was unable to control. He was pulled into Heero�s arms and cradled. �I love you Duo.�

Duo�s head snapped up to look into Heero�s cobalt eyes. �You-You what?� He looked down again and smiled faintly. �Don�t say that unless you really mean it and are prepared to get killed.�

�Killed by who?�

�Death itself. It follows me around like a black cloud. So many people have died because of me. Don�t ever say I-� Duo started.

�Love you.�
 

///We have crossed many oceans ,
and our life�s lie  in between.
In life there are many quotients ,
and I vow to find the mean.///

Duo laid his head against Heero chest feeling it rise and fall. Then he listened to the heartbeat. He smiled �Maybe he�ll be the one.� He thought.
 

/// Well if guess you just closed your eyes,
and just imagined everything�s alright.
 But do not hide you tears,
because they were sent to wash away those years.///

Duo�s tears shimmered down his pale face. Heero tilted his face up and kissed him soundly then kissed away his tears.
 

/// Maybe we can wash away those years. I
 hope you can wash away those years.///
