The room was pitch black, one solitary man sitting in a chair, hands to his face. His eyes were closed, thinking about the blonde-headed goddess. Those large blue eyes that were reading his emotions; the regret, the pain…how sorry he was.

He leaned back in his seat, feeling the black lazy boy chair lightly rock. He took a hold of his long chestnut brown braid within his hands. He brushed his thumbs over it, lost in thought.

*Flashback*

The destroyers were at it again, destroying…killing. Duo was having a field day, killing mercilessly, having the rush all werewolves felt. After finishing ripping off an innocent civilian's face, he turned, spotting a protector. He growled, crouching down dangerously low; it was Alex.

He licked his lips, baring his blood covered fangs. He made a wolfish grin, slowly making his way to the turned back of Alex. He pounced.

The blonde let out a startled yelp in surprise, getting over his shock, he began to fight back. The two werewolves wrestled in the streets, until finally, Duo had Alex pinned beneath him, mouth clenched tightly around the man's throat.

He clenched tighter tauntingly, piercing the flesh. He heard Alex's gurgling growl of pain. He let go of his throat to look into his victim's eyes. Those large gold fear filled eyes. He loved the look, it caused some great pleasure he couldn't explain, to see the fear before making the kill.

Un-expectantly, he took a hold of Alex's throat once again, biting down with a steel-like grip, locking his jaws. Alex wasn't able to make a sound, only able to gurgle up blood, eyes wide from the unbelievable amount of pain.

Duo jerked, tearing open his victim's throat, then ripping out his longs. Tossing the now useless organ to the side, he licked his blood covered lips. He still wasn't through, he started gnawing on the man's head, hearing the skull sickeningly crack.

*End Flashback*

He had been the one who had killed Alex. He sighed heavily, unconsciously gripping his braid.

*Flashback*

Duo took off down the street, but he stopped. Turning towards his group, he saw that they were far gone. He turned towards Heero, seeing that he was staring at something. Turning towards the direction, he saw Heero's sister; Serena.

The girl had just de-transformed and was making slow and steady strides to Alex's body. He looked into her eyes, seeing the look of horror, denial, confusion…the pain.

He watched as she took a hold of the Alex's crumpled face within her hands. Watched her shake the lifeless body, screaming for him to wake up.

"Serena, stop it!,"

Duo turned towards Heero, as the man shouted. He saw the young man run over to his sister and take her in his arms. He decided, that it was his time to go. He wished that he had never stayed behind. Those eyes will forever haunt hi,

*End Flashback*

Those eyes…never seeing such emotions in his life, and he had caused them. He sighed, "Why did I have to watch…why?,"

There was a soft knock on the door. Duo turned to it, "Come in,"

The door slowly opened, and Rei stepped inside, large amethyst eyes adjusting to the dark. Spotting Duo, she made her way towards him. Standing in front of him, she noticed the depressed look he held. Frowning slightly, "What's wrong with you?,"

He shrugged his shoulders, turning away from her. Rei frown deepened, narrowing her eyes, "Don't give me that crap," she pulled up a chair from behind her, sitting in it, "Tell me what's wrong," she paused, collecting over her thoughts. "Ever since that battle we had a few months ago, you've been acting weird. Locking yourself in you room…not eating much…not pissing off Wufei," she leaned back in her seat, "Though, Wufei wont admit it…he's starting to become worried about you,"

Duo snorted, "Go figure," he then turned to her, "Have you ever felt guilty about killing someone during a battle?,"

She held a thoughtful look on her face, "Hmm…no, not really. Why?,"

He turned away from her again, "I don't know, just wondering,"

Rei eyes him, "Duo…are you feeling guilty about something?," he didn't answer, so she pressed on, "Did something happed during that battle?,"

He shrugged, "Maybe,"

Rei pulled her chair closer to him, "Duo…stop with the mind games. Now tell me, what's wrong? Does this have to do with Heero's sister?,"

He turned upon the mention of Serena. Slowly, but surely, he nodded his head. Still confused. Rei asked, "Why?,"

He stared into the girl's amethyst eyes, questioning himself if he could tell her, "I killed him…,"

"What…killed who?,"

"Alex," he turned away from her, "I killed Alex,"

She gasped in shock, then a smirk crossed her face, "It was you? That's great! You should be happy, you weakened the Protectors greatly,"

Duo growled lowly in his throat, "Is that what all of you guys ever think about? Killing to weaken each other?,"

"What wrong with you? They're our enemy…," she stood from her seat, "You enjoy killing Duo…," she headed towards the door.

"Word is…Serena was pregnant." He looked to Rei, "Alex was the father." He stood from his seat, "He never got the chance to see his kid,"

"You should care why? You've killed many fathers…or fathers to be. What makes this different?," Rei sighed. "Look, I have to go," She then walked out of the room, not casting another look to the depressed werewolf.

Duo crossed his arms over his chest, leaning against a table, 'Why do I care?,'

*****************

The large front doors of the Protectors household were thrown open. Heero came bustling in, dragging his wounded sister behind him, a pissed look upon his face.

"How could you be so STUPID!," he raged, rounding a corner. "You could have been killed!,"

Coming up to a door, he kicked it open, a loud crack was heard as the door smashed into the wall. The room was large and white, first aid kits lined along a counter and several beds lined up neatly.

Heero roughly brought his sister over to one of the beds, "SIT!,"

She did as she was told, and looked down at the white marbled floor, causing blood to drip to the floor from the wound on her cheek. Her brother went over to the first aid kit, ripping it open, mumbling under his breath. The only words that could be caught were 'so stupid' and 'so irresponsible'.

He turned, alcohol and a towel in his hand. He tipped back Serena's head, telling her to close her eyes. When she did so, he poured on some of the alcohol, making her hiss in pain. He quickly wiped away the blood and alcohol with the towel, then examined the wound.

"You don't need stitches…," he mumbled. He handed her the towel, telling her to keep it against her left cheek to stop the bleeding. He looked down at her right leg, remembering that she had been limping when he practically dragged her home.

"Lay down,"

She laid down, slowly bring up her legs and placing them on the bed. Heero rolled up the pajama pant leg, revealing the girl's swollen knee. He eyed it, touching it lightly, making his sister clench her mouth tightly shut, and take in a gasp of air. She let it out slowly, trying to hold back the tears.

There was pounding on the door, then it was thrown opened. Setsuna rushed in, eyes frantically wide. Upon seeing Serena, she made her way towards her, relief on her face. "Are you alright? I heard you got hurt!,"

Serena smiled weakly, "I'm ok," then frowned when she heard her brother grunt, going over to a small freezer in a corner for an ice pack. Setsuna turned from Heero, back to Serena. She swatted the girl on the head lightly, "What provoked you to go out there?," her motherly side stirring up.

She giggled lightly, "I want to fight Sets…I'm tired of being cooped up all the time. I'm a werewolf you know,"

Setsuna smiled warmly, "I know,"

Heero returned with a bag of ice and an ace bandage. "You should of stayed here…what if you died? Did you even think of Alex when you just ran off?,"

She glared at her brother, "Leave me alone Heero. I really don't need to hear your bitching,"

"What?," he growled. "I'm not b-,"

"The both of you cut it out!," exclaimed Setsuna. She looked at the both of them, "Now, I'm tired of the both of you fighting non-stop. Stop it…you two don't even act like you love each other," She turned away from them, walking out of the room, tears welling up.

Heero sighed, placing the ice on the swollen knee. He wrapped the ace bandage around it, to keep it firmly on the knee and to keep Serena from moving it around. Quatre suddenly walked into the room, Alex in his arms.

The baby had a pacifier in his mouth, head resting on Quatre's shoulder. He was wrapped up in a baby blue blanket, and was ready to drift back to sleep. His head suddenly popped his head up, seeing his mother lying on the bed. He turned side-ways in his holder's arms, slapping Quatre upside the head when he reached his hands out for Serena.

Quatre and Serena giggled, as the man handed the baby to his rightful mother. Alex somewhat grinned, blue eyes wide. He buried his face into his mothers shoulder, pudgy arms wrapping around her neck. Serena giggled, "Nice to see you too,"

She turned to Quatre, "Thanks,"

The blonde smiled, "No problem," He bowed lowly, then left the room.

Soon after Quatre left, Heero stood up. He turned to his sister, "I'll be back later. You stay in here, I don't want you up walking around. Got that?,"

She rolled her eyes, "Yes sir," He glared at her, then walked out of the room. Serena smirked, holding her son tighter to her. His breathing had slowed and realized that he was asleep. She kissed him on the side of the head, loosing herself in her thoughts.

Her thoughts surrounded a certain werewolf; Duo. She was deeply puzzled. She had read his eyes, and she couldn't understand what it meant. Why did he look at her…those feeling of guilt…and pain…or the pain that he held within his eyes was horrific.

She sighed lightly, running her finger's through Alex's hair. She closed her eyes, quickly being consumed into the land of sleep.

*************

Rei walked down the halls of the Destroyers household. She looked into the entertainment room, seeing someone sitting on the couch. She walked inside, seeing Trowa on the couch, half asleep, with a blonde, head down on his lap, out cold. Trowa had brown hair with very long bangs that covered one of his eyes.

On an closer inspection, she realized that the blonde was his girlfriend Mina. Rei smiled, deciding not to disturb the two and walked out of the room. She headed towards her brother's room; Okibi. Peeking inside, she saw that he lay asleep.

She yawned, now moving onto her own room she shared with Wufei. She walked inside, spotting Wufei sitting on the window sill, staring out the window. He turned when he heard the door open, "Woman," he said, looking out the window once again.

She crawled into the bed, covering herself with her blankets. She looked over to Wufei, "What happened to Okibi during the battle? He looked rather upset when he came home,"

"He nearly got killed. He froze in battle…I had to step in,"

"I don't blame him…it was his first battle. Besides, he's only 9,"

Wufei turned is onyx black eyes towards he. "Any info on Maxwell?,"

She nodded, "He's feeling guilty about killing Alex,"

"Wait…what?,"

"Duo killed Alex,"
