------------------------------------------------------------- --- Help-----------------------
 
 
When Heero's nightmares became more frequent and he started to isolate himself again, Duo decided to find out what was bothering his friend. He had learned since the beach incident that the nightmares only occur if something reminds Heero of his past. Wufie, Trowa and Quatra all set out to help Duo uncover the mysteries of their troubled friend.
 
Since Heero had started at their school, Duo and Wufie both started to notice a growing animosity that was directed towards Heero.
 
At first Heero ignored the snide comments that were directed towards him. He often found himself cornered by four or five students, each threatening and insulting him. Heero who was used to being treated with indifference and hatred, dealt with the situation the only way he knew how. By retreating behind his walls.
 
Duo tried to get Heero to relax, usually sitting outside under their tree, and just being near him, talking about unimportant things.
 
Duo and the others all watched worriedly as Heero became more and more indifferent, acting almost mechanically, as if he wasn't really aware of his surroundings.
“What can we do, Duo? He's become more distant then when we first met.” Quatra whispered, watching as Heero was shoved from behind.
“I don't know, but I'm going to follow him for a bit between classes to see if I can find out what is bothering him.”
 
Later that day Heero left the change room, not bothering to shower with the rest of the class, He instead headed to his locker. As he neared another student stepped in front of him, blocking his path.
“Where are you going?”
Another stepped behind him.
“Not running away I hope.”
Tensing up, Heero looked down the hallway, searching for a way to escape.
“W-what do you want?” Heero asked in a trembling voice.
One more joined the other two, totally surrounding Heero.
“What's wrong?” asked one, sneering as they pressed Heero against the wall.
Heero started shaking as he felt one grab his arm, pulling him closer.
“What are you so scared of? I'm not doing anything that no one else has already done to you.” He purred as he pressed Heero against him, running his hands over the distressed teen's body. Heero struggled to get out of the teen's grip, scared… No terrified. Everything was getting out of control.
Not again…this can't happen… not now…not when I'm finally able to believe in someone.
He could feel rough hands pawing at him, not just from the one teen that held him, but he could also feel the hands of other two groping his body.
Why did I think that just because Duo treats me with kindness that others would start doing so?
 
Heero snapped open his eyes when he was pushed into a deserted room.
"Come on you piece of trash, we're going to a little fun"
 
----------------------------------------------------------------- ------------------
 
Duo watched as Heero left the change room without acknowledging anyone. Casting a worried glance in Trowa's direction, Duo decided to do as he promised and follow Heero. Duo gathered his gear, saying goodbye to Trowa; He headed to Heero's locker.
 
Even though he had left just after his friend, Duo never caught sight of him in the hallways. Picking up his pace he found Heero's lock, but again his dark haired friend was no where to be seen. Getting worried Duo his way through the school, trying to figure out where Heero was. Duo took out his cell phone and dialled the number to the orphanage.
 
"Hello. Maxwell Orphanage."
"Hi sister Helen."
"Hello Dear. "
"umm. Has Heero come home yet."
"No why? Is something wrong?
"I think so. I can't find him at the school and the rest of us noticed that Heero has been closed off, more so then before. We're worried. Are you sure he is not at home."
I'm sure he's not here Duo, but I'll take a look around ok. Be careful and keep in touch. I want you to call every hour until we find him."
"Yes Sister."
 
Hanging up Duo went to find Trowa. Spotting him just as he was about to leave the school, Duo rushed up to him shouting.
"TROWA...I can't find Heero. He's not at home, and I've walked through the school three times. Can you search out side and tell the others what's going on. "
"Sure thing Duo. Why don't you take another look around here, and check the classrooms. I'll call Quat and we'll look out side. "
Breathing a sigh of relief at the fact that he was no longer the only one searching, Duo hugged Trowa.
'Thanks"
 
It was starting get late and Duo was starting to give up when heard a faint sound coming from the room in front of him. Cautiously he opened the door.
"Hello. Anyone in here?"
When no one answered Duo walked slowly into the room feeling nervous. Looking around, at first nothing seemed to be out of the ordinary, but taking a closer look Duo found that there were chairs and desks slightly out of place and that there seemed to be some sort of materiel scattered around the room.
As he walked to the front of the room he noticed that there seemed to be something that looked suspiciously blood on the floor. Now Duo as really worried. This shouldn't be here.
He got out his cell phone and dialled Trowa's number. While he waited for Trowa to pick up he continued to make his way to the front.
"Hello?"
"Hey guys might want to come here."
While he spoke Duo spotted someone in a crumpled heap by the front desk. Crap
"Where are you?
"In room 15A...You'd better hurry, I think I found him."
Hanging up Duo looked at the fallen figure.
Please, Don't be Heero
Duo knelt down and gently turned the person over, then just sat there staring in shock
What happened to you Heero? Why didn't you tell us that people were bothering you?
Heero's clothes hung in tatters on his slight figure, There were cuts and bruises covering him and there was dried blood sticking to his body.
"Come on Heero, Let's get you some place else."
He gently picked Heero up and carried him to the door. Just then Trowa Quatra and Wufie all ran down the hallway. They came to a sudden halt when they saw Duo's distressed face and their eyes fell to the figure in his arms.
"What Happened?" Quatra demanded as he grabbed Duo's shoulder and started to lead him to his car.
"I don't know Quatra I just found him like this."
Well let's get him cleaned up. We'll go to my place. There's enough room for everyone to stay if you want."
"Thank you I don't want to bring him home like this. It'll only cause more stress for Sister Helen and there'll be a lot of fuss about this. Heero would hate it."
"OK let's go"
Duo climbed in the back seat still gently holding Heero.
 
 
Heero slowly come back to consciousness, disoriented and trying to figure out where exactly he was. He couldn't remember what had happened before and how he got to wherever he was. He was lying in a huge bed that was covered in rich satin sheets, propped up by large pillows. “ Why the hell am I?” Heero wondered. Suddenly a flash of memory hit him. Pain. So much pain. Unfamiliar people leering at him and inflicting their hatred. The memory vanished as quickly as it had come. Unknowingly, he called out.
 
Duo had momentarily left Heero's side to get a glass of water for when his friend regained consciousness. Pausing on the wide staircase, he heard Heero call out. He rushed into the room, hurrying to the shaking teen's side; Duo sat down on the bed beside him trying sooth his frightened friend.
 
“Heero? What's wrong.”
Heero tensed when he felt someone settle beside him.
He looked up into intense violet eyes.
“Where are we?”
Duo never broke eye contact with Heero, as he reached forward and brushed sweat dampened hair away from Heero's forehead.
“We're at Quatra's. Trowa and Wufie are also down stairs.
“Why? And what am I doing here?”
“You don't remember?” Duo asked the confused teen, worried.
“Remember what?”
“Never mind. We'll figure it out after you rest a bit.”
 
After Heero fell sleep, Duo headed downstairs to talk with the others.
As he approached the living room Duo could hear the others talking in soft voices.
Quatra looked up, hearing Duo come down the stairs.
“How is he?”
“He's asleep again, but we have a problem. He can't remember what happened.”
