Warnings and Disclaimers: First of all Shin Kidousenki Gundamn Wing does not belong to me. *sobs* But I wish it did. Hey I wonder if they’ll take my little sister in return for the series. *shrugs* Also this story is a angst Shounen-ai. If you don’t know what that means read the first sentence and you’ll have a pretty good idea. You don’t like it, I don’t care. Leave I ain’t keeping you here.

I entered the four-story building and my nostrils are assaulted by the stench of alcohol and piss. I walk through the hall ignoring the lust filled curious looks and the foul odor and language emanating from the people around me. I stop in front of an apartment and look inside. The place is a total mess (even for a rundown building). Furniture thrown all over, needles, syringes, empty bottles and small plastic bags, cigarette buds and so on and so forth.

I take a few steps deeper into the apartment and look at the people around me. They look at me with eyes clouded by the chemicals that they have been taking. Some don’t even look at me but look beyond me before returning to what they were doing before. I continue my search for Duo and wonder if when I find him he will look at me with chemical clouded eyes or if he’ll be able to look at me at all?

"Looking for somethin’?" a girl asks me. She is no older then me, maybe younger. She smiles at me and runs her fingers through her dirty blond hair. Her eyes are cheerful and full of life, with hints of sadness. Much like Duo’s eyes.

"You look lost." She chuckles as if she heard a joke that only she understands. My heart remains cold though the edges are warming. I am saddened by the sight of her in a place like this. She reminds me of Duo. She, like him is too beautiful for a place like this.

"I’m looking for someone." I say to her, "A guy named Mack or a boy with long chestnut brown hair in a braid."

She looks at me as she thinks. Then smiles and nods beckoning me to follow her.

We step out of the apartment in silence and ascend to the second floor. She continues to lead me through the halls. When she walks she seem to gild across the floor, her movements almost ghost like. If my mind wasn’t as logical as it is I would have believed that she was becoming transparent.

She stops in front of an apartment and tells me that Mack was inside. I say nothing as usual, and walk towards the door. I take one last look at the girl as she disappear down the hall and I know that I will never see her again.

I open the door and walk inside. This apartment is a bit neater then the other, most likely because it’s where this Mack guy and he seems to be the head of this place.

A large man walks over to me and looks me over before asking me what I want. I tell him and he says that Duo is there but that I can not see him because he’s "busy" with Mack. I glare at the man and am about to retaliate when I hear a small moan come from behind the man. I quickly pushed the man aside and see Duo lying on a man’s lap (Mack most like) while the man fondles him. Duo looks drowsy, his head lulling back and forth, left and right like if his neck is missing a screw and his head is about to fall off.

"All right kid you heard me get out." I had completely forgotten about the man next to me, which surprises me because I don’t usually forget potential threats. He grabs my arm and attempts to pull me out side.

I glare at him and remove my arm form his clutches. He growls and reaches for my shoulder, I move out the way. I quickly realize that this will soon become a fight and I am no mood for a fight with a muscle-head bodyguard, so I quickly move behind him and hit the back of his neck. He falls and hits the floor with a loud thud.

"What the Hells going on?" Someone yells. I turn and see Mack staring me down with enraged eyes, Duo is still lying on his lap. He hasn’t even looked in my direction. I don’t think he knows I’m here.

"I’m here for Duo." Is the only answer he receives form me as I walk towards the two. He continues to stare at me, his eyes filled with defines.

Still not in the mood for a fight I give him one of my Glares o’ Doom (as Duo calls them) in the hopes that he’ll catch a clue and leave. Which he does. The only problem is that when he stood up he forgot to take Duo off his lap. The braid baka falls and hit the floor. He groans before his body grows limp. Mack runs off and I really don’t care. I move over to Duo and check him over.

My poor, poor Shinigami. How far you have fallen. I run my fingers through his hair and place my other hand on his cheek. There a small patches of hardened blood on his creamy skin and I try to remove some of it. I take his hands and place them on his chest but not before I notice the badly bandage right hand. Now I know where the blood in his room came form. Looking down at his crucifix covered in hardened blood I realize how he injured himself.

Without a second thought I pick him up and move towards the exit. Oh, Duo when you wake up, I’m going to throttle you.
