"When he left, I cried.
When he returned, I died.
And when I realized what he stood for,
I beamed with pride.

My master kind and good."

[A.C. 197]
Wufei and Duo were out doing a little grocery shopping for a party Quatre was to be having in a few days. Wufei had a firm grip on Duo's braid, making sure the other pilot wouldn't wander away and get into trouble, as often happened. Wufei was beginning to load the back of the van they had driven, and consequently, was forced to release Duo's braid. For the first few moments, nothing happened, Duo was helping Wufei load the groceries without causing trouble. Then, Duo suddenly perked his head up. Wufei looked at the other pilot and gave his braid a slight tug.
"Come on, Duo. Keep packing." Wufei said, and Duo returned to what he had been doing. A few seconds later, Duo perked his head up again, this time his brow crinkled as he listened. Before Wufei had a chance to grab Duo's braid, the other pilot had run off. Wufei growled to himself and hastily shoved the remaining bags into the back of the van, shutting the trunk. Wufei ran after Duo just as the boy exited the parking lot.
"Duo! Come back here!" Wufei yelled as Duo darted into an alleyway. Wufei followed him into the dirty alley, and instantly caught the scent of blood, pain, and sweat. Wufei stiffened at this scent, then headed down the garbage littered side street until he came upon Duo and a gang surrounding their most recent prey.
"You let her go, or you'll regret the day you laid eyes on her." Duo said in a dangerously calm voice, "Now."
"What's this little street rat to you, kid?" The leader of the gang asked. The young woman in their midst was beginning to struggle to her feet, but was kicked down and onto her back. She let out a low growl and began to get up again. This time, no one stopped her.
"That street rat is my *sister*!" Duo yelled at the man, "Now back off before I *really* get mad!" Duo yelled, practically screaming by now. Wufei froze.
'Duo has a sister?' Wufei asked himself, looking at the woman who had now gotten to her feet. She had been roughly grabbed by one of the men to keep her from running. The gang leader snorted.
"Fine, take your little rat and leave. We've had our fun with her." The leader said, then turned away from Duo and followed the rest of the gang out of the alleyway. The young woman just stared at Duo for a moment, her eyes boiling with rage. She was in a bra and thong underwear, the rest of her clothing had been torn off and now lay in shreds near her feet.
"You bastard." She whispered harshly, and then charged angrily at Duo. She slammed her fist into Duo's stomach. Duo winced in pain as he doubled over slightly and put one arm around the woman. The woman began to tremble, her face hidden in Duo's shoulder.
'Just bite your tongue, Duo. Let her punch you, she has every right,' Duo thought as his sister took her time to calm down. "Sh, Talia, it's alright now, I'm here. I won't leave you again." Duo said, gently stroking the girl's back. Her hair was just as long as Duo's and in a loose, messy braid.
"Is it safe?" Talia asked quietly, her tear filled eyes looking into her brother's. Duo nodded, shifting his arms to hold all her weight. A few seconds later, she collapsed into Duo's waiting arms, unconscious.
"I never knew you had a sister." Wufei commented dryly as they walked back to the van, Duo carrying his sister.
"You never listened when I talked, ether." Duo replied coldly.
"Yes I did, and you never once mentioned her around me." Wufei said, opening the back door of the van for Duo to put Talia in. Duo sighed as he closed the door and got in the driver's seat.
"So maybe I didn't talk about her, but I thought about her every day. Sometimes I even regretted becoming a gundam pilot because it meant I had to leave her and never look back, at least not until the wars were over." Duo replied, pulling out of the parking lot, "Sometimes I think she would have made a better pilot than me. She can take as much pain as Heero, and spit it right back out at you. The only reason that gang got her down was because there were more than ten of them. She's a real tuff chic; so don't go off on her, Wufei. She'll make you regret it."
"I don't plan on it." Wufei said, "From the looks of her, she's been through a hell of a lot, and that's just today."
"Tell me about it." Duo said, "She was always getting picked on by the guys, even though she'd beaten them all up more than once." Duo sighed as he pulled into the Winner estate and explained the whole situation to the guards. After about an hour and a call to Quatre, they were finally let in.
Duo brought Talia into his room and put her onto his bed as Sally came in, being the doctor hired to take care of all the Winner mansion residents. She shooed Duo out of the room and bandaged Talia up. She brought Duo back in when she was done and sat him down next to his sister.
"How is she?" Duo asked, a lead pit forming in his stomach.
"She's going to be fine, physically. Mentally, I'm not sure. She's been through a lot, Duo. From the looks of her, I'd say she was raped quite a few times, and not just in one place, ether." Sally replied with her arms folded across her chest.
"Oh, god." Duo whispered, bringing one hand to his face. He closed his eyes as tears welled up in them and silently streamed out. Sally left the room, allowing Quatre and Wufei to enter.
"How is she, Duo? Wufei told me what happened." Quatre asked tentatively.
"They raped her, Quatre, they raped her like they would have raped me." Duo said, bringing his knees up to his chest and silently crying into them.
"Wasn't your fault, Duo." A weak voice replied from the bed, "It probably would have happened anyway, even if you had been around. It's not like I don't have other people who look out for me." Talia said, her violet eyes half open as she gazed at Duo, "It's been a long time, hasn't it?"
"Yeah, it has." Duo replied with a sniffle. He wiped his tears away with his sleeve.
"How'd you find me Duo?" Talia asked, a small smile gracing her lips.
"I thought I heard something, I don't know what, but I decided I had to follow it." Duo replied. Talia looked over at Quatre and Wufei.
"Who are you?" Talia asked quietly.
"I am Chang Wufei." Wufei replied, giving Talia a slight bow.
"My name is Quatre Winner. It's a pleasure to meet you, although the circumstances could be better." Quatre replied.
"You mean that you're that millionaire gundam pilot?" Talia asked, cocking an eyebrow.
"Yes, that would be me." Quatre replied, a slight blush rising on his cheeks.
"You look better in real life. The pictures just don't do you justice." Talia said with a small smile as Quatre's blush deepened, "What time is it, by the way?"
"Thank you, and it's quarter to four." Quatre replied. Talia shot up straight in bed, her eyes wide.
"Quarter to four?" She yelled, clutching the sheets to her chest, "Duo, I need to borrow a pair of clothes. I have an extremely important meeting in half an hour!"
"Hold it! You're not going anywhere until you're better!" Duo retorted.
"Don't make me pound you into the ground, Maxwell!" Talia yelled at the top of her lungs. Everyone in the room flinched minus Talia, and Duo meekly handed over the clothing and they left the room. While Talia was getting dressed, the three talked outside the door.
"She definitely needs someone to go with her." Quatre said.
"We'll just make her pick between the three of us." Duo said, "She may argue with me a lot, but she'll give in on this account."
"Are you sure?" Wufei asked.
"Yeah, she always listens to me when it comes to safety." Duo replied with a bright grin as the door opened to reveal Talia, looking identical to Duo, with the exception of her breasts and the sunglasses.
"Same old wardrobe, huh Duo?" Talia asked sarcastically.
"Pick one of us to go with you, Talia. You just got beaten up, and you don't need two beatings in one day, plus this will make sure you get back into the mansion." Duo said matter-of-factly. Talia sighed at his persistence.
"All right fine. You said your name was Chang Wufei, right?" Talia asked Wufei, who nodded, "Good. You'll be coming with me. Duo, we look too much alike, and I don't need to draw too much attention to myself. Quatre, you're rich. Too may bodyguards." Talia stated.
"Fine. Follow me." Wufei replied, then lead Talia back to the van.
^_^_^_^_^_^
They reached their destination by Talia's direction, and waited quietly in an alleyway. Not long after they arrived, another man dressed in black with sunglasses walked into the alleyway.
"His name is Chang Wufei. I believe he is secure." Talia said, locking eyes with the man. The man grunted and walked up to Wufei.
"Well, it certainly looks like Wufei." The man said to Talia, then to Wufei he asked, "So, you are the Dragon, Slave to the Wolf?" At this remark, Wufei stiffened.
"I am." Wufei replied coldly, eyeing the man with suspicion.
"Good, then you are secure." The man said, then walked out of the alley. Talia followed him, and so did Wufei. The man entered a stretch limo, and the other two followed. Once they were moving, Talia relaxed into her seat.
"So, did I get the right guy, or were you just lying about the whole thing?" Talia asked with a raised eyebrow, her hands behind her head.
"Oh, you got the right man, all right, but I didn't plan on ever seeing him again." The man replied, scowling at Talia through his sunglasses.
"Poor baby. I never planed on seeing my brother again, but I did." Talia replied.
"When?" The man demanded.
"Only when he found me in the middle of a one on twenty-something gang fight this morning." Talia replied casually.
"Talia! I thought I told you to stay away from those gangs!" The man replied in a harsh tone.
"You did, but that doesn't keep them from tracking me down." Talia said casually. The other man growled deep in his throat.
"Sometimes I wish I had never met you." The man said.
"Same here, LEE!" Talia said, raising her voice on the last word.
"Lee?" Wufei asked, looking at the other man with wide eyes.
"Talia, you're going to pay for that." Lee replied, taking off his sunglasses and glaring at a smiling Talia.
"Lee! It is you!" Wufei said in disbelief, before getting a grip on himself, "Master Lee, what are your commands?" Wufei asked respectfully, sitting straight and stiff as aboard. Lee sighed.
"Relax Wufei, no orders for now. By the way, why are you here with her?" Lee asked, pointing at Talia.
"I have a name, you know." Talia said with a snort.
"Duo sent me along so she didn't get hurt again." Wufei replied.
"And you listened to him?" Lee asked, his eyebrows raised.
"Oh, shut up, Lee!" Talia replied loudly.
"He made a very convincing argument, and I didn't think she would be as bad as he is, but I was wrong. Very, very wrong." Wufei replied.
"If you say so." Lee replied dryly as the limo rolled to a stop and the engine was turned off.
They all got out of the car and walked into the large building the limo had parked right next to. They walked in on red carpet and entered an elevator, taking the ride to the thirteenth floor. When they exited the elevator, they were greeted by the scent of fresh roses and a light musk. They entered the room, and Wufei took in a deep breath.
"I swear, this room smells like Treize and Zechs, or Millardo, or whatever his name is now." Wufei said to no one in particular.
"Actually, his name is Zechs again. Just like in the good old days." A deep and elegant voice floated out from another room, accompanied by a soft chuckle. Wufei took in a sharp breath.
"Master, is that...?" Wufei asked, looking at Lee, his mouth hanging slightly open.
"Go see for yourself, Wufei." Lee replied, a small smirk finding a place on his lips.
