The invisible Man 6

"Hey, told'cha I would come back." He grinned. "And I have some guests." At that word, Wufei came out of one corner, still hidden beneath the cloth, and Trowa came out of the cupboard. Heero was stunned a bit. He would have believed that Duo's friends would have had some kind of changes, but they looked quite normal already. Although, Heero found it strange how the boy beneath the coat was standing, but didn't question it.

"Well, I'm Heero. Nice to meet you guys." He smiled and reached out a hand. Trowa took the offer and shook Heero's hand. "Hello,I'm Trowa." Then the boy changed, and Heero nbearly had a heart attack as he looked into a complete different face now. "And I'm Quatre. Pleasure to see you." He smiled before shaking the offered hand as well. Meanwhile, Dzuo whispered something into Wufei's ear, but the boy shook his head no and slowly walked over to Heero.

"Hello," His voice grumbled. "I am Wufei." And with that, he discarded the coat, and Heero blacked out. Duo just murmured something under his breath before Wufei picked up the knocked out boy,grunting, and under Duo'slead,they made their way downstairs and into the kitchen.

***

"Duo, the food is very delicious. Where have you learned to cook?" Quatre asked while eating a bowl of soup. Heero had been placed onto a seat, upper body leaning against the wall. The boy was still knocked out and Duo had decided to cook something for his friends in the meantime.

"Well, thanks for the praise, Quatre. Wufei, want something too?" Duo asked the other boy, who had put his coat back on. "I'm not hungry." He grunted. The braided boy just shrugged and started eating his own soup. While eating, he thought about the whole situation over and over again. Every now and then he shot a short glance at Wufei and kept asking himself how Heero could help the poor boy. Not only that the former boy looked frightening as all hell, but when looking at him, you would say that he was a grotesque version of some animal and not human. Sadly, this was quite true.

"What shall we do to pass the time until your friend's awake again?" Trowa asked now while getting another bowl of soup. Passing time, right, Duo thought. How to pass the time when the star of the show sleeps? "Oh well," Duo started, "I bet he won't be out for too long." There was a sudden growl from Wufei which made Trowa change into Quatre and turn his head towards project no. 5.

"Hey, whats wrong, buddy?" He asked in a friendly tone, but his answer was a loud snarl. "I can't smell!!! It's making me crazy!!!" And without any warning, Wufei suddenly ripped off his coat and ran to the opposite wall to climb onto it. Duo just looked at the boy who was now sitting upside down on the ceiling, swinging his thin tail. The noise he had made had been enough to wake the sleeping beauty up and with a soft groan, Heero blinked and slowly opened his eyes.

"Uh… what…" he brought out before screaming as he looked at Wufei hanging from the wall. "Aaahhh!! Whaa.. What!?? Hmpf!!" Quatre quickly covered Heero's mouth with his hand.

"Ssssshhhh. Don't seek too much attention." The blonde boy looked at Heero seriously and after a few more moments, Heero slowly nodded, trying to calm his racing heart down. Ever so slowly, Quatre removed his hand and kept looking at Heero to make sure he wouldn't scream again.

"Don't mind it, Quatre. You're used to Wufei, but Heero's not. I mean, I had some good shocks myself as I saw Wu-boy like this." Duo pointed upwards where Wufei was slowly walking on the ceiling, parts of the paint falling down as he rammed his claws into the `ground' under him. That gave Heero time to study the strange boy.

The first thing that got Heero's attention were the stinging yellow cat eyes that didn't fit the grey wolf's snout and red-brownish ears. A black mane stood away from the quite long neck. While the tips of the hair were pitch-black, the bottom part of the hair was mixed with the greyish colour of the rest of the fur. Having his mouth opened lightly, you could see his big, yellow teeth, gritted. There was a black leather collar around the boy's throat with the writing 0-5 on a little attached metal piece. After that came a metallic chest plate that covered most of the abdomen. All kinds of little button-like thingies and other stuff were on it, making it look like some weird electronic part from Star wars or something. The arms looked quite human-like apart from all the fur, but then there were the claws. One was more like a furry human hand with long nails and the kind of paw-like pink part cats usually have to soften their steps. But the other one looked more like a furry something. There were no clear nail beginnings or endings, so it seemed as if the fingertips had been stretched and sharpened. And then there were the legs… they didn't seem too strange at all( haha.. yeah, as if the whole person hadn't been strange) apart from the fact that they seemed more flexible than normal human legs. Instead of normal feet, there were wolf-like paws and the whole foot was longer.

"Stop staring at me.." Wufei growled while Heero studied his features. Realizing that he had been staring, the short-haired boy blushed and quickly bowed his head. "Sorry…". A low laugh made him look up again. "Oh man, don't take the grumpy Wu-Wu too seriously. Growling is all he can do right now since they tried to change his voice. But they failed ..." Duo stopped for a short time to take in a deep breath before continuing.

"They have ruined his sense of smell and his voice. Apart from that, I have to say they did their job quite well. Not that I'm happy or anything like that…" he quickly added as he noticed Wufei's angry glare on him, " but at least he is still alive." A snarl interfered.

"I wish I would be dead. Anything is better than this…" The animalistic creature growled from above their heads. Heero bowed his head again. How much pain did the boy had to undergo? He knew how hard it was to fit animal parts with the human body, but this boy was no human anymore. To reach that, they would have had taken him apart completely, and that wasn't quite possible. Then Heero looked up again, remembering something.

"Wufei?" He asked carefully. Something that sounded like `what' was heard from above. "Uhh… could I have a closer look at that chest plate, please?" Another growl, and ever so slowly, Wufei walked to the wall next to him and climbed down. "Nnnnnnnn….Touch too much and I'll bite your hand off…" Reassuring words from the owner of the voice. Carefully, to keep his hand, Heero looked at the metal piece and the way it moved around Wufei's shoulder and back. He remembered having seen similar pictures in science books. Now he was sure that they had tried to take him apart, but failed and fixed him again with that plate- like looking piece.

"Holding the parts together …" Heero murmured. "What??" was Wufei's confused growl. Without thinking, Heero just continued talking. "They must have tried to get you into single pieces, like a piece of machinery. But then they failed and now use this `plate' to keep you together." Just a second later, Heero found himself being smashed onto the floor by Trowa who pushed him out of the punch Wufei tried to deliver to him.

"Wufei!! Calm down!!" It was Duo's voice this time. But Wufei ignored them and kicked Trowa out of the way. He's out of control!! Heero thought panicked as he saw the experiment walking towards him, angry, teeth gritted and fingers moving impatiently as if waiting to slice him. He quickly moved backwards as much as possible before his back touched the wall - no way to escape. Like a lion watching its prey, Wufei moved his head downwards and was now on eye level with Heero. Gritting teeth and hot breath against his nose was all Heero was aware of. Just before Wufei's eyes suddenly widened and the boy started to pant heavily. As Heero looked up, he saw Duo standing besides Wufei, definitely touching him from the back.

"Calm down, boy. Calm down…." Duo whispered while the 5th project slowly closed his eyes and lowered his body onto the floor, Duo following with his arms, until he was completely still. The braided boy then quickly pulled back his hands and looked down at the now still boy, sighing deeply. He had great doubts now that Heero could really help.
