Disclaimer: I do not own anything Gundam Wing or associated with it. So that

means don't sue me for writing this fic

Notes: I've just started working on this fic again. I know this is the first chapter, but I am not going to re write chapters one and two even though my writing style has changed, simply because it would take too long. So, chapter three already had the writing style change and the rest of the chapters will be written better. Also. Thanks! On to the story!

Two years had passed since Duo and Heero had been together. The war had ended and they spent all their time together. The fist year was bliss and the second wasn't bad either. They loved each other, but going into the third year Heero started to snap. His temper was way out of control. Duo didn't know why it was this way now.

Duo had been down this beaten road a million times. It happened almost every night. He would try and kiss Heero or hug him or anything affectionate while Heero was doing something on his laptop and he would get enraged and lash out. Duo usually ended up with a few bruises or a bloody nose. Heero would always apologize afterwards, but Duo knew he never really meant it. This was one of the worse times Heero had beaten him. Heero had dislocated his shoulder. A first on Heero's part, he had never managed to hurt the violet-eyed boy that much before.

Duo sat on the floor, on the verge of tears, trying not to let Heero see that he

was in pain. Heero, seeing what he had done immediately walked over and wrenched

Duo's shoulder back into place. Then, Duo did cry, the pain was too much for

him. "I am sorry Duo, but you should know better by now." Heero scolded and

apologized at the same time. "No, I cannot accept your apology this time Heero.

You've hurt me for so long. I just can't take it anymore." Duo said still

sobbing from the pain in his shoulder. What have I done? Heero thought as Duo

walked out the door.

Duo wondered the streets trying to think of what he was going to do now. I've

left Heero and our apartment. What can I do now? He thought as he walked down a

deserted ally. He found himself walking into a little bar off in the corner of

the ally. He ordered three Dark and Stormys and sat down in a booth away from

the bar. Well, if I can't stop thinking about Heero maybe this alcohol would

help me. Duo thought downing the first glass.

Soon two men had walked over to Duo's booth and sat down across from the drunk

boy. "How are ya tonight." One of them said clearly noting that Duo was drunk.

Duo eyed them suspiciously "Who are you?" he asked slurring his words. The two

men laughed. "Say do you wanna come with us?" the other man asked. Anything is

better than where I was, I guess. Duo thought as he nodded his head and shakily

got up.

The two men took Duo to a hell hole of an apartment and commenced to getting Duo

some more alcohol. Duo's brain was so clouded he didn't know what was going on.

They brought him a beer. He thought it was odd they had already opened it for

him, but he didn't give anymore thought to it as he drank it in one gulp.

After about ten minutes of talking, the men could tell the drug they had put in

Duo's drink had taken affect. Duo had fallen into a semi-unconscious state. He

could feel the men taking off his clothes. I need to get out of here. If I don't

they will...they will ... oh my God! Duo thought as one of the men shoved

himself into him, causing Duo to cry out in pain, as he thrust himself in and

out. This made the other man laugh, as the other man pulled himself out of the

braided pilot. "Don't cry my pretty, It will be over soon." He said mockingly as

he began to have his way with Duo. It will be over soon. Duo kept thinking to

himself as the other man finished with a satisfied sigh. Duo could feel blood

trickle down his leg. He was hurting all over. The two men drug him back out to

the ally and threw him to the side along with his clothing. Duo fell completely

into unconsciousness.

Duo awoke in an unfamiliar room. He knew what had happened. Someone must have

found him in the alley, felt sorry for him, and took him in. He took in his

surroundings. He noticed that he was in some sort of tent. That was rather

unusual. Soon two people walked into the room. He closed his eyes and slowed his

breathing so they would think he was still out. "Trowa, who is this boy?"

Catherine asked concerned for her brother's safety. "I'm not quite sure, but I

know I know him from somewhere. Maybe when he's cleaned up I'll recognize him."

Trowa said sitting in a chair beside Duo's bed. "OK Trowa, but be careful."

Catherine said leaving the room. Oh, this is just great. I leave Heero, get

drunk, get drugged, get raped, and now Trowa, of all people, has saved me. Duo

thought sarcastically.

He slowly opened his eyes, noticing, to his amazement, that he wasn't hungover.

"Oh, so your awake." Trowa said looking him over. "Yeah, but I wish I wasn't."

Duo said still in much pain from his ordeal the night before. "Do you mind

telling me who you are?" Trowa said still not knowing who this brown haired boy

was. "You mean you don't know?" Duo asked. "You seem very familiar, but I don't

recognize the face." Trowa said examining the boy trying to figure out who he

was. "I'll give you a hint: I was with Heero." Duo stated annoyed that Trowa

didn't recognize him. "Oh My God, Duo! What happened to you?" Trowa said shocked

"Its a long story." Duo said matter-of-factly. "Oh, will you tell me sometime?"

Trowa asked. What could have happened to him, if I didn't even recognize him it

must have been bad. "May I take a shower?" Duo asked feeling very dirty. "Sure,

it's right around the corner." Trowa said watching him leave.

I can't tell Trowa what happened to me. If i tell him he might take pity on me. I

don't want to be pitied, but hasn't he already took pity on me by taking me in?

Duo thought as he stepped into the shower turning on the water. "Oh, shut up,

Baka, you think too much!" Duo said to himself aloud as he undid his braid. He

reached for the shampoo and smelled it. Hmm...honey? Trowa, I would have never

guessed! Duo thought rinsing his hair out.

*~Meanwhile~*

"Trowa, have you found out who that boy is yet?" Cathy asked heatedly "Yeah,

it's Duo, pilot 02." Trowa stated calmly "I will not allow it! I refuse to let

you get involved with those Gundam pilots again. Trowa you almost died! Your not

going to do that again!" she yelled "Look, Cathy, he looks like he's been

through hell. I intend to find out what happened to him." Trowa said "Fine, but

you have to promise me that as soon as you do, he leaves." she said not wanting

Trowa to be influenced by this pilot. "I can't guarantee that. I am going to let

him stay as long as he wants or needs to. So don't bring up the subject again."

Trowa said commandingly. "I don't...fine." She said Trowa you won't get mixed up

with the Gundams again. She thought.

Duo walked into the room where he had woken up. He didn't want to put on the

clothes he had on before. So he tightened the towel around his waist and went to

find Trowa. "Trowa! Where are you, man? Trowa!" Duo yelled throughout the circus

tent. "I'm right here, Duo." Trowa said. Duo looked in the direction the voice

had come from. Trowa was sitting in one of the lion's cages brushing it's hair.

"Hey, can I borrow some clothes?" Duo asked tentatively "Yeah, sure. They're in

the trunk of the room you in." He said still brushing away. "Say Trowa, How did

you find me?" Duo asked curiously looking down at the floor. "I was on my way to

the grocery store and that alley is a short cut." Trowa stated "Oh, well I guess

I'll go get dressed now." He said fingering the top of the towel at his waist

and walking away.

I have to find out what happened to him. Those bruises on his arms look like

handprints. I wonder how it happened. I will ask him later. Maybe then he'll be

ready to talk. Trowa thought as he walked out of the cage to go meet Catherine

for tea.
