Duo and his father walked through the doors, leading into the slave cave. Duo hated the slave cave. Boys his age were working and being beaten. He looked at some of them. They looked starved and tired. His father went from one to another, inspecting them. Duo walked up to his father who was talking to a slave master. "…Hard. I'll take you to him."

Duo heard him say. They went to the very back of the cave. They heard picks and shovels on the rocky ground. Duo saw a boy secluded from the rest. He was in a dark corner, working by himself. The slave master went over to him and tried to get him out of the shadows. The boy shoved him away and backed farther into the corner. The slave master growled and took his whip.

Duo tried to go and stop the man but his father held him back. The slave master hit the boy with the whip. The boy hit against the rocky wall. The slave master hit him again and again. Finally, the boy slumped to his hands and knees. Duo pushed away form his father and ran to the boys' side. The slave master grabbed him and pulled him back. "Watch it, he's dangerous!" Duo struggled in the mans arms.

The man tightened his hold. "Your… your hurting me," Duo gasped. The boy on the floor turned his head. He slowly got to his feet and charged at the man. Duo slipped out of the mans grasp. His father came rushing up to him as the boy and the slave master struggled on the floor. The slave master stood up and grabbed the boy. He then slammed him up against the rocky wall.

Duo cringed as he saw the boys' head hit the wall. The slave master brought his hand down across the boys face time after time. Duos father ran over and grabbed the man. "I want to buy this slave." "You can't. He's now labeled under dangerous." "I could have you arrested for hurting my son." The slave master paled. 'Fine, if you want to get hurt by this… this monster, that's fine by me." The slave master and Duos father went to sign the papers.

Duo cautiously walked over to the boy. "Um…hello," Duo said. The bent over boy was silent. "What's your name?" Duo asked. The boy turned to look at him. Duo gasped as he looked into the boys' eyes. They were an intense blue and as cold as ice. The boy tried to stand up. Duo moved forward to help him.

The boy shoved him away, but in the process made himself fall back down. "I'm sorry, I didn't mean to make you fall. I was just trying to help," Duo said. "I don't need anyone's help." The boys voice was deep and monotone. The boy struggled to his feet. Just then Duos father returned. "Come on Duo. Your coming too Heero." Duo glanced at Heero. Heero followed them silently out of the cave.

Duo went to his room with Heero following. He had just got done giving Heero the tour of the house. Heero stood there, looking around while Duo searched through his closet. He held up a black shirt and a pair of jeans. Heero stared at the clothes he was holding while Duo went to fill the bathtub up. "Get cleaned up and meet us in the study room. Do you remember where that is?" Duo asked.

Heero nodded. "Okay, see you then," Duo said as he left. Duo was waiting with his father in the study room. The door opened and a clean Heero walked in. "Sit down. I have something to tell you." Heero sat down in one of the red chairs. Duo couldn't stop looking at him. He looked so different without all the dirt and grime on him.

"I bought you so you can keep my son happy while I'm gone on my business trips. I'll be taking one tonight." Heero glanced over at Duo. "You do whatever he tells you to do." Duos father continued, he got up and headed towards the door. "I'll need you later on Heero, to help me with my packing."

With that he left. Heero turned to look at Duo. "Well, you want something to eat," Duo asked. Heero shook his head. "Oh, okay." Duo was becoming uncomfortable. The bell rang on the wall, indicating his father wanted Heero for help. Heero got up silently and walked out the door.

Duo lay in his bed quietly. He sat up as he heard the door open and close down the hall. He looked at the clock. 11:49 p.m. 'Why is he getting in so late?' Duo got up and left his room quietly. He walked down the hall until he reached Heeros door. A faint glow came from under his door. Duo opened Heeros door a crack. Heero was facing the TV in only his pants.

"Duo, why don't you come in? This is your house." Heero said. Duo gasped and froze. Heero shook his head and turned off the TV. Duo opened the door more and walked in. Heero turned his back to the TV. while Duo sat on the bed. "Why are you up so late?" Duo asked. "I could ask you the same thing," Heero replied coldly.

"But I want you to answer me." Duo said. "Your father had something for me to do." Heero replied. "Oh." Duo looked down. His eyes caught something on the carpet. It was a red drop. There were more and they were some by the TV. Duo got up and walked over to Heero. Heero backed up against the TV. more.

Duo grasped Heeros shoulder and moved him so he could see his back. Six thin lines ran across his back. Blood dripped down slowly from them. "Heero, what is this?" Duo asked, eyes wide. "Nothing," Heero said, jerking his shoulder from Duos grasp.

"Heero, what happened?" Duo demanded. Heero stared at him. "I think you should go to bed." Heero said softly. Duo glared at him. "No! I want to know what happened to your back." Duo yelled again. "You're going to get me in trouble. I think you should go to bed." Heero repeated.

Duo looked at him and then walked quietly to the door. He turned around before he left. "I'm going to find out sooner or later." Duo slipped out the door. As soon as the door was shut, Heero slumped to his knees. "I have a feeling you'll know sooner than later Duo."

Two days later

"Bye dad." Duo called as his father drove away. Heero was standing in the doorway. Duo turned to go in. "Your father left something for you in his study room." Duo looked at Heero. "Okay, thanks."

Duo walked into the study room. He spotted a long wooden box on his desk. Duo opened it to reveal a note. It said:

Duo

If Heero gets out of hand.

Father.

Duo looked beneath the note. "No way!" He saw a whip. There were fresh bloodstains on it. Duo glared at it. "No, no, no!" He picked up the whip and threw it. Only too late did he see Heero standing there in the door. "Watch out!" Heero looked up and saw what was happening.

He ducked just as the whip flew by. Duo came running up to him. Heero turned his head. Duo saw a red line on his face. "Oh…" Duo reached out his hand. Heero flinched away, like he was expecting to get hit.

"I'm not going to hit you." Duo said. Heero reached up and wiped the blood away. It was a shallow cut, and it should only be a thin line by tomorrow. Heero picked the whip up and gave it to Duo. Duo glared at it. He quickly put it in the box and put it in a drawer. "Are you hungry?" Heero asked. Duo nodded, not really paying attention. Heero walked away.

That evening Duo walked outside to see Heero sitting next to a tree, watching the sunset. "It's pretty isn't it?" Duo asked. Heero stared out at the horizon. "You don't get to see it much in the slave caves."

"Yeah, I guess not." Duo sat down beside him. "Heero, where are you from?"

"Japan."

"You speak Japanese?"
"Hai."

"Is that Japanese?"

Heero looked at him for a moment. "Hai."

"What's that mean?"

"Yes."

"Cool! Do you think you could teach me some?"

"Maybe. This came from your father." Heero said, handing him a letter. Duo picked it up as Heero went in the house. He opened it and read it.

Duo,

I need you to go to the slave caves as soon as you can. I need you to pick out three new slaves. Make sure they can work hard.

Father.

Duos face becomes hard. "Heero?!" He called. A minute later, Heero walked out. "Tomorrow, we have to go to the caves." Duo told him, looking at his face carefully. Nothing changed, except for the fact that the eyes sparked. Heero nodded and went back in the house. Duo turned back to the horizon. The sun was gone and in its place was upcoming darkness.
