"It'd be wonderful to live in a place like that, ne, Heero?" Duo stared up at  the manor that loomed in front of him. It was *huge*. Bigger even in all the  houses in Colt (AN: the name of the town Duo live in with Solo) Heero sighed and  stayed silent. Ignoring this, Duo continued. "I can't even imagine it. I'd  always lived in that small plant before I'd met you."
"It's not a home Duo," Heero explained. "It's a house of healing."
"Healing?" Duo shifted in his saddle to look at the boy. "Why are we going to  a house of healing? Neither one of us is hurt."
"I know someone there. She'll help us."
"Oh."
Duo was still awfully curious, but kept his mouth shut. He knew he wasn't  likely to get an answer. After a month of travel he had gotten used to the boys  moodiness. He took no offense in it.
 They kept silent as their horses cantered towards the manor, allowing  Duo to get a close look at the place. Now that he looked at it he could see that  it didn't really looked like a home. It was too professional. There was almost  no colour to it except for a few stain glassed windows which he guessed was part  of the chapel. The grounds were a deserted field of emerald green grass.  Obviously well manicures, though left un-used.
As they approached, the massive wood doors were opened, revealing an elegant  figure dressed in dark green healers robes. It was a women in her middle ages.  Tall and capable looking with her light brown  hair held in twin twist  braids. She smiled at the two welcomingly, here eyes coming to a rest on Heero.
"It's nice to see you well," she nodded at the boy as he climbed from his  saddle with a grace born of much practice.
Heero smiled at the woman. "If it hadn't have been for you I wouldn't be here  right now. I thank you for my freedom."
"I hear a but in there," she chuckle. "You need some help, don't you?"
Heero helped Duo from his seat, "Don't I always?"
"Of course." She smile as she opened the door wider. "Well, come in than.  Your horses will be taken care of."
She led them through a long hallway, lit by glass every few meters down the  path. They were passed by a few other dressed in green robes of a lesser  quality. They watched Heero and Duo with a great deal of curiousity. Finally  they entered a small room cluttered with books.
The woman sat at at desk and steepled her fingers in front of her. "Now what  is it you need? And how soon?"
"We need supplies to last us for at least two weeks and a place to rest. We  haven't been able to stop anywhere really. Even with Duo's help they've been  able to track us down."
Her eyes flicked towards Duo. "Duo is it? I'm Sally. Head healer here." Her  gaze moved back to Heero, smirking ironically. "I thought you were always the  lone wolf type. Obviously you have a few surprises that even *I've* never  discovered. Ah well," she waved her hand in front of her face dismissively.  "I'll give you what you need. You can stay here for four days. That's it. You're  a liability here as long as you're still being pursued."
She pulled a long braided rope that hung from the wall near her desk. They  were joined shortly by a petite blonde with sparkling cerulean blue eyes.
"This is my prot�g� Quatre Winner," she told them. "He will show you to your  rooms." With that she began to shuffle through a pile of paper on her desk, very  obviously dismissing them.
Quatre lead them through a maze of corridors finally coming to a small room..  "You'll have to share this," he told them. "We're a little over in-habited. My  rooms right across the room if you need me." He turned to Heero with a smile.  "It's nice to see you again, under less trying situation."
"It's nice to see you again too Quatre," the stoic boy replied. "Though I'm  surprised you recognize me. I was in horrible shape last time you saw me."
The blonde smiled, his whole face lighting up with the action. "It's your  aura that I recognize, Heero. You have the most intriguing aura I have ever  seen," He turned to the braided boy who stood at Heero's side. "That is until  now."
Duo blinked at the other boy. His aura? There was nothing different about it.  He could sense aura's but not to the extent that a healer could. He didn't feel  anything different about his than anybody else's.
He decided to tell the other boy this. "There ain't nothin' 'intriguing'  about my aura. I'm jus' like everyone else."
Quatre's golden brows arched. "Oh? Have you seen your aura? I mean really  *seen* it? Not just a sense that it's there."
Duo shook his head. "My mage gift doesn't let me see stuff like that."
Quatre walked up to him and place his pale hand over the other boys slightly  darker one. Suddenly Duo was overwhelmed with the Sight of things. A transparent  overlaying of colour left over from emotions that were engrained into the wood.  Quatre was surrounded by a bright shimmering blue, entailing purity and  innocence. There was a faint mist overlaying the blue. He looked over at Heero  his mouth nearly falling open.. The boy was surrounded by layers of different  shades and colours. Starting with purple; purity that had been somehow tainted  by a great pain or rage. Around the edges he too was enshrouded almost crystal  mist, But more prominent than that of the small blonde.. Duo had no idea what  this meant and very much doubted anyone did, but he knew there was something  important about it
Quatre smiled and he as suddenly presented with the image of himself seen  from the other boys eyes. Like Heero he too had a purple aura, a deep violet  shade that nearly matched his eyes. The violet was fringed with just a hint of  orange and a rich gold colour. But also he had the white mist.
He pulled his hand away from the slightly smaller boys. "Is that mist normal?  Or all of the different colours that surround me and Heero"
The boy shook his head. "Until I met Heero I thought I was the only person  who had it. It's much more noticeable with Heero. I know it means something. I  just haven't been able to figure it out. Now you have it too. And the different  auras all in one. I had never heard of that before. There is definately  something special about the two of you. I will figure this out someday."
Duo was about to reply but was interrupted by a huge yawn.
"I think it's about time we got some rest," Heero said. he had been left out  of the conversation before because his lack of knowledge on the subject matter.
The boy blushed, embarrassed at forgetting his purpose for bringing to pair  to the room. He shuffled towards the door and stopped before slipping out.  "Remember I'm right across the hall."
Heero and Duo were left to rest, having been in the saddle for days. Duo had  figured that he'd be too busy thinking about this new discovery of himself and  Heero, but he was so exhausted from the endless travel that he fell asleep the  moment his head hit the pillow.
