Amber and Amethyst
Chapter Nine
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
(AUTHORS POV)
RING!!!!!
The doorknob jingled with the sound of keys.
RING!!!!!
The jingling becomes more furious as someone tires to unlock the door.
RING!!!!!
Harsh curses can be heard through the maple door of the small office.
RING!!!RING!!!RING!!!
"OH FOR THE LOVE OF...I'M COMING!!" The harsh curse is emitted by the midsize body of the female preventers doctor.
Sally pushes her way into the small cramp office filled to the floor with papers, files, examining utilities and fast food wrappers.
RING!!!!!!
"I'm here...I'm here....Hello? What....He.....Heero what...calm down... ..no....Duo....Solo....wait who's S.....wait....slow down I can't understand you.....no.....Heero listen.....Shut up and lis....OH NEVER MIND! I'm coming over....Heero...He...AUGH!!!"
Sally slammed the receiver down, she's only been in her office two minutes and already she's got a headache. She slumped down into her brown leather chair and exhaled all the tense air she held. It was way too early to be dealing with men right now.
She grabbed her medical bag and opened it sifting through to see what she might need and not need. Bandage wraps, antibacterial cream, aspirin, thermometer, scissors, cold compresses, heat pads, sterilized water, short made braces, sedatives, syringes, morphine, suppositories.....Sally smiled..yes definitely suppositories.
She closed her little happy bag of medical tricks and exited her office, shutting the door behind her unlocked. She drove her little sedan to Heero and Duo's apartment listening to jazz all the way there. She parked her car outside on the street and entered the building complex, taking the elevator the three flights up she traveled to Heero's apartment and knocked lightly. She was expecting to see Heero or maybe Duo open the door frantic with whatever it was that freaked Heero out so much. It was incoherent mumble she got from him, amazed she was even able to make some sense of it out.
She was expecting to see a frantic Heero. What she got was a distraught Quatre. That alone made her heart sink to her stomach with worry. Quatre opened the door and when he saw Sally he cried hard and loud mumbling the same thing as Heero.
"Quatre calm down and let me in" Sally ordered, taking her place as the professional doctor.
"Oh Sally you have to do something!! I don't know what's wrong with him but Duo he's..." Quatre wailed out and Sally snorted pushing him aside as she walked into the apartment. She entered the living room and found Trowa and Wufei sitting on the couch. Wufei was sitting forward wrapping his arms around his head, Trowas sat next to him rubbing his back soothingly. Heero was pacing back and fourth roughly, angrily. Duo was not in sight.
"Okay anybody want to tell me what the hell's going on here" Sally demanded. She threw her bag on the couch and it bounced by Wufei.
Heero stopped pacing and looked at her in startlement. Anger flashed across his face before being replaced by fear and guilt outlined with confusion. He practically ran to her and grabbed her wrist.
Sally tensed up at Heero's advancement and took the defensive for a moment until all he did was take her wrist in his thin hand. He led her to the second floor and to the first door to the left. He opened the door never letting go of her wrist and walks in pulling her behind him.
What she saw made her question her own consciousness. She possibly had to be dreaming this!
Duo sat on his bed dressed in jeans and one of the t-shirts she gave him for his birthday, he sat with his legs tucked underneath him. He sat there playing with his puppy. His hair was cut short, butchered almost and his face was puffy with signs of immense crying.
Sally's voice didn't seem to wanna work right then because she couldn't seem to be able to say anything. Heero shifted his footing beside her and Sally regained her voice and breath.
"Heero would you mind explaining to me what the hell happened here and what did you do to Duo?" Sally demanded.
Heero sighed tiredly and ran his hand through his hair. He looked like he wanted to say something but didn't know where to start.
"At least tell me what's wrong with him, he wasn't like this when I left just a few hours ago! Tell me what is wrong with him!" Sally yelled at him. Big mistake because a startled gasp and a whimper signaled to her that she just scared the patient. Not a wise thing to do when you're a doctor.
"He...he claims to be someone else...someone named Solo." Heero started explaining.
Duo looked up when he heard the name Solo.
Sally looked puzzled, "What do you mean he thinks he's someone else? What do you mean?" she asked.
Heero glanced over at Duo and looked back at her. "Just what I said, he thinks he's someone named Solo and he claims that Duo died ten years ago." Heero said simply.
Shock would not be sufficient enough to describe the look on Sally's face. More like horror mixed with disbelief and uncertainty.
She turned her blue eyed gaze to the figure on the bed playing with the puppy, he lifted her front paws and made her dance on her hind legs, her tongue hanging out in contentment. She took a step forward and called out in a shaky voice.
"Solo?"
Duo looked up and smiled timidly. He gathered himself up in a protective ball and hug the puppy close to him for safe keeping.
"Is that your name? Solo?" Sally asked taking small steps toward the bed.
Duo nodded and smiled again this time a little more brightly.
"Solo do you know anyone by the name of Duo?" She asked upon reaching the bed, she didn't sit down but she leaned in a little closer.
'Solo' nodded his head and lowered his eyes, his smile faded quickly and his face showed grief.
"What happened to him Solo? Where's Duo?" She asked, placing a hand on the bed and leaning forward to be a little closer.
"he's dead" 'Solo' whispered softly his eyes still lowered.
"What do you mean he's dead? When did he die?" Sally asked lowering herself slowly on to the bed and sitting at the very edge.
"he died during the plague" 'Solo' said.
"Where did he die at?"
"L2"
"Do you have a last name Solo?" Sally asked, she gazed over to Heero and saw him standing by the bedroom door watching aptly.
"don't got a last name" Solo said.
"Did Duo have a last name?" Sally asked in a voice one would use with a skittish person.
'Solo' shook his head, "he didn't have a last name neither, none of us street rat's got a last name. Some of us don't got a first name, we name ourselves"
"okay Solo" Sally said and smiled sweetly at him. 'Solo' smiled back with enough brightness to outshine the sun. "My name's Sally and I want to be your friend if you'll let me okay? I'm also a doctor and I'm going to need to do a physical examination as well as ask you a few questions okay, but not right now, I think you should take a nap you're face is red and you look tired. Get some sleep and then we'll continue our little conversation okay?" Sally asked lifting herself off the bed, she grabbed the puppy and strided to Heero and the door.
"you'll come back right?" 'Solo' asked yawning sleepily.
"of course, now get some sleep" Sally said, she pushed Heero out the door and closed it softly with a final click. She put the puppy down and watched it bounce away down the steps. She leaned her back against the door.
"Sally?" Heero asked worriedly
Sally tilted her head back and looked straight at Heero into his cobalt blue eyes.
"We have a problem"
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
H-POV
I just stared at her.
"What problems?" I ask, "What the hell is wrong with Duo?"
Sally closed her eyes and exhaled slowly. She stood there leaning against the door to my lovers bedroom while my patience was on it's last thread.
"I need to examine him, both mentally and physically. If what I'm guessing is right he may be suffering from some traumatic episode." She said.
"What do you mean traumatic episode? Like a nightmare?" I ask her uncertain. I cross my arms in front of me.
"Something like that but more serious. Duo is experiencing what I like to call split personality. We already know that he likes to pretend that he's the god of death, but what if that wasn't the only alter ego he has? Maybe this 'Solo' is just a way to deal with something he can't handle, just like 'Shinigami' during the war?"
My mouth dropped.
She can't be serious can she? Oh shit!
"I won't know for sure until I examine him properly first though." Sally said, she pushed herself off the door and stood erect. Her expression was serious, business like but in her eyes I can see worry and sadness hidden within those dark green depths.
"What do we do if he is suffering from this...this.." I trail off not quite able to finish my train of thought without my heart dropping further.
"We'll just have to see how serious the situation is." Sally said, "But before I examine Duo I need to know what exactly went on here. I need to know the details of the nights events to find out the root of the source of the problem."
I drop my head not able to face her.
"Heero what exactly happened here?" Sally asked.
I couldn't answer her. Hell my voice just didn't want to work right now. I don't know how to tell her.
"It's all right Heero." Sally tries to comfort me, she places her hand on my shoulder in a soothing motion. "Duo will be fine, he's strong and I know he'll pull through this. Just be patient with him. Okay?" Sally smiles at me almost reassuring me as she is herself.
I nod at her and uncross my arms.
"Now tell me what happened."
I look at her and decide I just might as well tell her directly. But HELL if I'm going to do this alone! I head towards the stairs and begin descending down the steps to the first floor.
Sally follows me and we enter the living room. I go and sit in my armchair, Trowa and Wufei are sitting on the couch while Quatre paces my living room floor. Sally walks over to the couch and removes her bag from where she had tossed it. She sits down close to Wufei and looks around expectantly. She settles her sights on me and I'm lost as to how I'm going to begin telling her.
I clear my throat and everyone one looks at me. I take a deep breath.
"It all started a little over 13 months ago..."
