(Author: Nita, Het?? Wha? ::blinks:: I'm confused… But thanks for the reviews; I think you're the only one who cares. ::sniffles:: So this fic goes out to you since you the only reader. Ja-)

___Fresh blood trickled down Duo's arms over new bruises. Showing some pity the guards dressed him in something other then a hospital gown, but not much more. A thick black canvas wrapped around his waist, and a to small black T-shirt covered his chest. He didn't fear what they would do to him.

___How bad could they truly be?

“Duo Maxwell.”

Duo involuntary twitched his head towards the voice still blind folded.

“Your what, 20 now, or soon to be?”

“None of your damn business.”

“You fought OZ using Gundam Deathsythe.” The person continued on. “And you where, numerous times, captured and detained by OZ… How many men didn't get to return home to their families?”

“Not nearly enough to make up for the lives they took.” Duo spat back.

The man refrained from hitting Duo. “You and three other pilots.”

/Four stupid fuck/ Duo thought to himself. “Just shut up and get this over with. But I should tell you it is pointless.”

“Hmf, I'm sure your leg is killing you.”

___Wise or not Duo remained silent his leg was killing him. Oddly though Duo found himself truly wondering if all the doctor's work remained after his mistreatment. The man above him shoved a needle into Duo's IV line. The speed of the morphine injected into him made his body cramp for a minute.

“You also went by Shinigami… Shinigami, the god of death, How fitting.”

___The morphine struck Duo with unfamiliar reactions. Duo found himself suddenly confused, and the world swam around him. He didn't even respond as he was lifted off the ground and laid on a cold medal table. Distantly he heard a door close with a bag, but the world went black.

___”Any news about where the base is?” Hilde asked Quatre having already stone-walled by Trowa, Wufei, and Heero.

“I'm sorry Hilde, we traced the broad caste-but.”

“But what?”

“Heero already trashed the place.” Quatre answered not what Hilde wanted to hear. “Don't worry, not even OZ could outsmart us. We maybe older, but we are the same people.

Hilde forced a smile. “Thank you Quatre.”

“With Relena unrelenting about the disarmament we don't have much for a success if they are well armed.” Quatre looked Hilde in the eye. “But don't worry, I maybe the innocent one of this bunch, but doesn't mean I do not have something hid in the desert. It's a large place Hilde.”

__Duo woke with a start, instantly hitting his head on cold medal. He tried to raise his arms but couldn't. Surrounded by medal that barely allowed him to breathe, much less lay flat. Desperately Duo tried to remain calm, but the air seemed to grow thicker.

//What's the matter Maxwell.//

“What who is that?!” Duo whispered.

//Did you kill that poor priest just to take his last name?// The voice chuckled.

“I did not kill him!” Duo shouted. “Who are you?”

//You know who I am Maxwell.// The voice teased. //You gave me my name.//

“How can I give you your name when I don't even know who you are?”

//Your right, you don't even know who yourself is.//

“Tsch, I'm Duo Maxwell, the god of death.” Duo boasted.

//No, that is just the lie.// The voice hissed hurting Duo's hears. //Tell me who you really are.//

“I told you.”

//You told me the lie you tell everyone.//

“Did not,” Duo whispered.

//You act happy but what do you really feel on the inside?//

“….”

//That is right for once Duo, you feel nothing.//

“Shut up” Duo's anger rose.

//Not even when that bitch kisses you.//

“SHUT UP!”

___Duo moved his hands and tore out the IV line. Blood slowly pooled underneath Duo. Spooked Duo gasped for air and searched for answer to the voice he heard in his head. When it did not return Duo relaxed, closing his eyes to close out the small space he was in.

___Gundam pilots where not claustrophobic, and they did not hear voices. Well, maybe Heero did he was crazy anyway. Duo found himself chuckling at the thought. Quickly he sobered as he thought more.

___The voice was right; Duo Maxwell was just a personality. One he put on for so long he forgot whom his true self was. When he laughed and joked around joyously, he felt nothing. Only true emotion he felt was the anger that occasionally boiled in his veins. But he did love Hilde… Did he?
