Chapter 5

Later that night, the door opened then closed once again. Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei went running to the hall. They saw a tense, angry Heero, and a sad looking Duo. Angel was also there, and she looked angry, but there was a hint of sadness in her eyes.

"W-what happened?" Quatre asked, breaking the silence.

"They were there." said Duo. "They must have left just before we got there though."

"We checked the whole building from top to bottom. No one was there. There was a cell in the basement, where Joey must have been kept, because I found a needle, a button, and a pack of matches with an address on it, and..." Heero trailed off.

"A hair tie. Her favourite one. The one she never loses. The one she uses when braiding her hair." Duo finished, sinking into the closest chair and burying his face into his hands.

Angel rushed over and wrapped her arms around him, pulling him into a hug.

"Don't touch me! Leave me alone!" Duo yelled as he pushed her away and ran up the stairs. They could hear his bedroom door slam behind him a moment later.

Angel stared after Duo hurt. She was about to go upstairs after him when Trowa stopped her.

"Just leave him be for now. He's really upset." He said.

"And you think I'm not?" Angel said coldly as she glared at him and walked away.

Storming into the kitchen, she saw Heero with his laptop, the package of matches, and decided not to disturb him.

`I know Heero's got feelings for Joey...it's in his eyes.' Angel thought as she was putting the groceries away. She could also remember the conversation she and Joey had the night before.

~*~*~*~*~*~

"Are you going to come over tomorrow?" asked Joey, braiding her long chestnut color hair as she talked to Angel on the phone.

"You bet I am. Your brother is just so cute!" Angel said squealing.

"Well...if you do come over, Duo will be busy with his friends."

"Ohhh...that means we can watch them from the door and they wouldn't even know that we were there. I can watch Duo, and you can watch Quatre...or Heero." Angel said giggling. "Which one do you like again?"

"What makes you think I like any of them?" Joey scoffed.

"Well...duh...just the way you drool over them. Especially when you're asleep." Angel said laughing.

"That is so not true! I do not drool!" Joey said in defence.

"You do too. Especially when Heero looks at you." Angel said. She laughed when there was silence from Joey. "See...I told ya." She giggled.

"Yeah yeah..." Joey grumbled slightly, and then laughed.

~*~*~*~*~*~

Angel chuckled to herself as she finished with the groceries, and sighed as she looked up at the ceiling, towards Duo's room.

`I gotta see if he's ok...' she thought, and quietly made her way up the stairs.

"Duo? Duo? It's me...Angel. Can I come in?" she asked as she softly knocked on the door.

When there was no answer, Angel tried the door-knob. Opening the door, she saw Duo sitting on the floor, leaning back against the bed, his knees pulled up tightly against his chest. He wiped the tears away from his face and looked up at her.

"H-hey. I just came u-up here to see if you were ok." Angel said awkwardly.

"Thanks. I'm scared for Joey, and I'm hurting, and....this...is all my fault. I'm sorry for pushing you away, but I'm glad that you're here now." Duo said with a small smile.

Angel shut the door and ran over to hug Duo. He hugged her back tightly, burying his face into her hair as he cried.

"None of this is your fault Duo." Angel whispered as she gently rubbed his back. "Not any of it. You didn't know it was going to happen. None of us did."

Duo nodded slightly as tears pricked in Angel's eyes.

"I want her back too. She's been my best friend ever since we were little." She said as she continued hugging him. "We've always been inseparable. From the day we met. Wherever one went, the other went too."

"It should have been me..." Duo sobbed.

"No Duo...please don't say that." Angel begged, "Don't say that. I'm barely able to manage having Joey taken. I'd go insane if you were too."

Duo pulled away slightly and looked at Angel. He stared into her blue eyes. They sparkled at the onslaught of the fresh tears that had started trailing down her cheeks.

"I love you so much Duo..." she cried. "Ever since that first day we met at school. From the moment I saw you..."

Duo blinked a moment, not sure if he had heard her right. `Did she just say what I think she said...' he thought.

Softly, Duo placed a hand on her cheek and she looked back up at him. A feeling suddenly washed over him, and he knew that no matter what happened to him, Angel would be there. He knew that she'd go to hell and back for him.

"I love you too Angel." He whispered, leaning forward to place his warm lips on hers in a loving kiss.

It was a gentle kiss that sent shivers down Angel's spine, causing her to moan softly. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck as he pulled her close. She closed her eyes as she felt his hands wander up her back and around her body. Her skin seared as he placed heated kisses down her neck.

After what felt like eternity, Duo pulled away and once again stared into her eyes. He felt as if he were drowning in a pool of blue, and he never wanted to surface again.

"Please Angel," he whispered, lightly brushing his lips over hers again. "I want to make love to you."

When Angel nodded and he gently lifted her up, surprised at how light she was, and gently set her down on his bed.

Angel let her head fall back on the pillow as Duo kissed down her neck, stretching her arms up above her head. She looked at him when he sat up and smiled a little as she watched him pull his hair out of it's braid, letting it fall down over his shoulders. She slowly reached up, running her fingers through his hair as he leaned down to kiss her again.

Duo felt Angel shiver slightly as he pulled her tank top over her head. He smiled a little as he ran his hands over her stomach before placing a feather like kiss on it.

Within minutes clothes littered the floor as flesh moved against flesh with heated passion. Neither had ever felt anything like it before as they wrapped themselves in bliss. They were the only two people in the world, and they wanted it to stay that way, because anything outside of them would only bring pain and sadness.

Both found things out that they had never known about the other.

Until now, Duo have never realized just how beautiful Angel was to him and it thrilled him to find out just how much he loved her as they made love through the night.

Angel was surprised at how gentle Duo actually was. Even through his joking manner, she had always thought he was a rather rough person due to his painful past. But to feel him like this, all the pain and sorrow washed away only to be left with the bliss of each other...it made her love him even more.

Afterwards, with the twilight of morning upon them as they let out their last cries of ecstasy, passion, and love, they fell asleep in the warmth of each others arms.
