Gundam Wing Fan Fiction ❯ Thin Line Between Love and Death ❯ Chapter 8 ( Chapter 8 )

A/N: Thanks again to all of my reviewer's. And most especially to ice princess 1185 who let me have the fic. The reviews really help. Sorry about this taking me so long but I found a really good series of books that I just had to finish. I would like to thank one-winged-shinigami who sent me a review that got me thinking. I might be able to please everyone but please remember this is my story and things have to happen a certain way for everyone to be happy. So please bear with me.

 

`Thought'

"Talking"

*Sounds*

 

~Last Chapter~

 

The pilots had cleared the building and they were safe so Heero had hit the detonator button.

 

As Heero hit the button you could hear a very clear “NO! DUO!” coming from Quatre.

 

~Chapter 8~

 

The pilots had collected themselves enough to leave the scene before anyone went looking for them.

 

-Inside the building-

 

Alarms were going off everywhere. Oz had everyone trying to get out of one part of the building because it was on fire and going to collapse. On the other side of the building they were trying to get all the alarms off and the fire under control before it got to the point where no one would make it out alive.

 

Two Oz soldiers happened to be leaving the building going down the same hall as Duo was in.

 

“Who's that?” asked the first soldier

 

“Dunno” said the second soldier

 

“Must have been caught in cross fire. Bleeding pretty good though” said the first soldier

 

“Think he's living?” asked the second soldier

 

“One way to find out” said the first soldier

 

The first soldier reached down to check Duo's pulse and breathing.

 

“Well he's mostly dead*” said the first soldier “But that means if he's mostly dead then he's still slightly alive*”

 

“Take him with us?” asked the second soldier

 

“Sure, but we gotta put something over the wound to slow the bleeding for the time” said the first soldier

 

“Here, you can put this around his waist” said the second soldier

 

The second soldier took off his shirt and they two soldiers' wrapped the shirt around Duo and then one took his upper body and they other took his legs and they carried Duo out of the building.

 

“You know who this is?” asked the second soldier

 

“Not a clue” said the first soldier

 

“This is one of then Gundam shits” said the second soldier

 

“So what? Do we leave him here to die or do we help him” said the first soldier

 

“Well we can't take him to a hospital or anything so it's gonna be up to us to take care of him and patch him up” said the second soldier

 

“I knew you had a bigger heart then you let on” said the first soldier

 

“Let's go, the guys death” said the second soldier

 

-Safe house-

 

“Trowa and Quatre here yet?” asked Heero

 

“Yeah, got back few minuets ago and headed straight up to their room” said Wufei

 

“I'm going to send a message to the professors and let them know what happened. You head up to the room and rest while you can” said Heero

 

“Good idea, you coming up soon?” asked Wufei

 

“Right after I do this” said Heero booting up his laptop

 

Wufei took one last look at Heero and then headed up the stairs to get ready and head to bed.

 

 

 

 

Wufei woke up a few hours later and headed down stairs to get a drink.

 

As Wufei was walking down the stairs he heard something and realized that he had not seen Heero when he woke up.

 

Wufei forgot about his drink for the moment and took a detour to the living room where he could see light coming from what he expected was Heero's laptop.

 

As Wufei entered the living room he noticed that Heero was by the window.

 

Wufei went and sat down on the couch.

 

“We all have to find something” said Wufei

 

Heero made as though he did not hear and look towards Wufei.

 

“I think the night is the best time of day. In the dark you can let out what you want and no one can see cause most people are sleeping. So there are no worries that someone might see a weakness” said Wufei “We all need to find something that we can rely on for when times get tough”

 

Wufei fell silent, knowing that Heero wanted to say something.

 

“He wasn't supposed to die” said Heero

 

“I hate to tell you this but everyone dies. Whether they are supposed to go when you want them too or not is a whole different story” said Wufei

 

“Everything was calculated to the last thing. If anyone was supposed to die it should have been me. Not Duo” said Heero

 

“Why you?” asked Wufei

 

“Cause if I die then you guys don't have to” said Heero

 

“I hate to tell you this but that's not how things work” said Wufei

 

“He was a great pilot” said Heero

 

“I would have said annoying” said Wufei with a smirk

 

“I left him there. I left him there to burn with all those soldiers” said Heero

 

“We had to leave him. It was either that or risk being caught” said Wufei finally getting up off the couch

 

“But I should have taken him out so that we could bury him and not leave him with the people he hates the most” said Heero

 

“There. Was. Nothing. We. Could. Do.” Said Wufei

 

“I should have gone back and made sure” said Heero

 

“What's really bothering you about this Yuy?” asked Wufei

 

“It should have been me….” said Heero

 

Heero finally looked at Wufei and as he did Wufei saw a single tear catch the light of the moon and it twinkled all the way down.

I know Heero is probably acting out of character but I believe that even the toughest people can have feelings. Sorry if you do agree, it's my story.
