Kassia started crying, tears streaming down her face. Her father was lying on the floor in their decrepit `home', unconscious and only just breathing. She barely heard the footsteps of the two men coming up behind her, her worried mind didn't even register that they had stopped just behind her with a simultaneous intake of breath. All Kassia knew was that her father was sick, very sick.

Heero and Wufei stared at Duo for a full minute before either of them had sufficiently recovered their composure and regained the use of their bodies. The shock of seeing Duo in this condition, after such a long time apart, was almost too much for their minds to register. And yet, there was almost no doubt that this was Duo. Either that or Duo had a brother that he had never told them about.

Heero was the first to move, kneeling down beside Duo and feeling his pulse. It was there, just. He then motioned for Wufei to help him. Wufei shook his head, trying to reconcile the fact that it really was Duo on the floor in front of him. He then knelt beside Heero, calmly distancing himself as far as possible so that he could do the task at hand in the best manner possible.

Heero nodded to Wufei, signalling to him that he should lift from the other side. Wufei moved immediately, placing his hands gently underneath the shockingly light form of someone who used to be a Gundam pilot. They lifted, looking to Kassia for instructions on where to go. She was still sobbing on the floor, huddled tightly in a foetal position. They wouldn't be receiving any help from her. They decided, with a simple look, to try and find the way themselves.

They made their way down another hall, which is what the door that Duo had been trying to navigate lead to. They stopped at each open doorway, not bothering with the closed ones as Duo obviously would not have the strength to close a door behind him needlessly. The third last door in the hallway lead to a bedroom, dark and moody. It practically screamed `Duo'.

The pair gently manoeuvred Duo into the room and onto the bed, trying not to jostle him to much. Wufei found himself absolutely appalled at how fragile Duo had gotten, despite the distance he was trying in vain to keep. He knew that both he and Heero would make it their mission to help Duo regain his health.

Kassia came up behind the pair, still hiccuping, and her eyes red and puffy. "Is. . . is he al. . . alri. . . alright. . . t?" her concern was evident in her voice.

"He should be. How about you go and get the food for him while we fix him up?" Wufei asked, crouching down to look Kassia in the eyes.

She nodded and walked out of the room fairly quickly, hastening to get the food for her dad. Heero and Wufei looked at each other, sharing the same thought. They had found Duo. Finally. After all these years they had found the missing piece in their lives.

They both broke their shared gaze at the same time. They had to make Duo better. Otherwise they would never have the chance to share with Duo how they felt.

A.N. Okay, it turned out shorter than I had intended. Sorry about that. How about I make a deal with you.
