Here's part 6!!! Gomen for the bad, and yes I mean bad, limey begining....'pearently HHL was not with me.... Seiji's POV again or well sorta.....

~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The smaller boy crys out his blonde lover's name as he somes on the slim hand around him. Seiji, feeling his lover's tightening, spills his seed in the slight American. Both boys lay there, panting and Duo snuggles up next to him, playfully nipping at the blonde's sweat-sheened neck. Affectionatly ruffling his lover's long hair, the swordsman kisses him lightly on the forehead. The two lay there, trading feather light nips and kisses.
Duo snuggles up closer to him, nestling his head in the crook of the blonde's neck. Seiji sighs happily, twisting a few strands of long, wavy chestnut hair around a finger. I blink, my nightmare from several days ago flashing across my mind. he looks up at me, his beautiful violet-blue eyes curious, "What's wrong, koi?" I shake my head, kissing the top of his head comfortingly, "Nothing. Just an old nightmare." He blinks, his mind not entirely working that quick, "Oh," and buries his head back into my shoulder. Smiling I run my hands down his back as he drifts off to sleep. Just as I am about to also, a faint beeping, which is quickly rising in pitch, emerges from the various lumps of clothing. He grumbles, "'m NOT gettin' that...." I snicker as he mutters abit then finally frees himself from our tangle. Going over, rummaging through his clothes, he finds the shrill communicator. As he does so, I let out a slight whistle as the view recieved. He simply waves his ass at me teasingly and switches the com on with a grumpy, "Yeah... this better be good....." After a few moments, he frowns, "Must it be now?" even from across the room I can hear a muffled, yet clearly irate, "YES NOW!" I can't hear the rest but, assume the worst as his normally cheerful face falls and he murmers, "That bad, huh? I'll be there as soon as I can." I sit up, observing him as he hurriedly dresses, "What happened? What's wrong?" He shakes his head, trying to braid his hair and pull on his boots at the same time. Snickering, I get up and gently help him braid the long, wavy mass. After I finish, he turns to me, "Sorry 'bout this but, 'parently an assignment popped up and I gotta go." I nod, hugging him closely, "It's alright, I understand." He smiles and kisses me lightly, turning to strap his gun to his belt. "I'll be back, so," he smiles smuggly, "don't get TOO anxious. After all, what can kill death?" Smiling sadly, I watch him rush out the door.

~*~Next Day~*~

I walk down the hall, avidly looking for my long-haired American. I frown as he doesn't show up, wondering where he could be. In my ponderings, I fail to notice a certain slight Arab sullenly fighting with his locker, trying to open it. Suddenly it swings open, catching my arm and shoulder. I stop and blink at him, barely registering the hit, "Quatre-kun? What's wrong?" He just shakes his head, pointily keeping his attention on pulling a few books from his locker, "Nothing. Sorry about hitting you. I'm just not entirely here today..." I nod, just now realizing that the silent Frenchman he's so occupied with hasn't been around. I frown, "Where are they? I haven't seen either Trowa or Duo around," I pause, thinking, "or the Chinese boy, Wufei?" He sighs, "They're...away...."
As we walk to class, I lean over to him, "Don't worry, Duo explained your.... situation to me," he looks up at me, deep aqua eyes worried. I smile tightly, "If you guys need any ground help, we Troopers' gladdy help." He blinks, "nani?" I smile a little more, "We fight like you do, just only on the ground." The smaller blonde nods, "Oh, I see why the baka trusted you with this," he sighs looking down, "I don't even know where they are. Theye recieved a mission.... Trowa couldn't tell me where...." I reach out to him, laying my hand gently on his shoulder, "They'll be alright. They HAVE to be..." He nods but a little voice in the back of my mind quietly tells me I'm wrong.

~*~Later That Night~*~

I jump, startled as ice cold water is dumped on me, jolting me from my meditation. Shuu and Touma snicker, Shin manages to look worried while glaring at them. I from at them but, before I could say anything, the auburn haired Trooper gently says, "Gomen but, there's been a problem..." That damn voice nags me again in a 'I told you so' type of manner, Shin continues, "We... don't know what happened but..." I blink, confusion swirling in my mind, "what do you mean." Touma and Shin exchange a glance as the archer lays a hand on my shoulder, "You'll see. Shinjuku's empty, everyone's gone..." I gasp unintentionally and run towards the door before he could finish. The normally noisy district is silent as I keep trying to deny the fact. Ryo, closely followed by the others, catch me as my knees go weak on me. I sit in a daze as the others prepare for the expidition.

~~~~~~~~~~~

Cautiously I walk the empty streets, looking for some sign of life. I stop suddenly, deja vue hitting me. The next thing I know, Touma is catching me before I hit the pavement. He frowns, "what is it? Are you sure you're up to this, Seiji?" I stand up and frown at him, going down a side-street. I ignore him as he jogs after me and try to concintrate on the task at hand. A familiar little black cat appears at my feet, meowing. I smile faintly at it, kneeling down to pet it. Touma looks at me stragely, "Ne, Seiji? Yes that's cute and all but...." Frowning slightly, I stand up again, "Lead us to Duo, neko-chan₍₁₎." The archer shakes his head as I follow the cat, "He's lost it.... He's really lost it..."

~*~One Hour Later~*~

We stop infront of a large square. The cat looks at me and meows, almost as if saying that he's in there. I glance over at my companion, not wanting to involve him in this, "Go find the others and bring them here? Alright?" He nods and goes off at a run. I lean against the building, silently watching the cat. It brushes up against my legs, causing me to smile and pick it up. I pet the soft, black fur lightly, "What are you doing here, neko-chan? Did you loose your owner?" The cat purrs contently at my petting as my thoughts wander, 'Please be correct, neko-chan. Please lean me to Duo.' Abruptly, the little furball hops out of my arms, hissing and visably bristling. A yell echos out from the square, startling me. I reconise the yell, but, unlike my dream, I pause. Only to summon Kourin's subarmor. Belatedly realzing the cat's missing, I look around. Not seeing it, I assume it just hid and shrug, peeking around the building's edge. Despite all preperations I made, I let out a startled gasp at the sight, "just like my dream.... DUO!" He loks up at me, deep violet eyes pain-filled, as he sees me, "Seiji....don't....no......" Confused, I eye the chains, stained a harsh red with his blood, "Don't what? Who did this?" He weakly shakes his head, sending a handful of long, sticky hair to fall over his bare shoulder. Calling to him, telling him not to worry as I call upon Kourin's full power. Just as I am about to cut throught the first chain, he yells. My heart clenches at the yell as I look up at him, his head thrown back, brilliant eyes shut in agony, his hair sticking to his nude body. Any reserve I may have had, I loose as he goes limp, hanging there by the chains. Quickly, I cut through them, regardless of the dream, to my own danger. Whispering comfortingly to him as I cradle his slight body, he settles against me, nearly whimpering.
Faint footsteps alert me to the other's arrival. As they appear, Duo lets out a keen whimper, curling against me. I feel him shaking and stroke his hair gently, trying to comfort him, "Daijoubu, Duo-koi, daijoubu. Shinpai-nai, koko de e desu₍₂₎." Numbly I hear Shin say something and Byakuen growl but, they don't register in my mind as I am more concered with my koi's safety as his blood slowly seems through my armor. Dumbly I look up as Ryo shakes me, urging me to more. Carefully, gently, I stand up, barely avoiding Shin's Chou Ryu Ha₍₃₎. The tall man from my dream snickers, reflecting his attack back at him. After a few more failed attempts, Ryo grudgingly calls out to us, barely avoiding a flying Shuu, "We can't... take much more of this.. we got to-augh!" Before he could finish what he was saying, the raven-haired Trooper is flung back intot he wall. I yell out to them, craddling Duo to my chest, "We have to retreat!!" Shin nods, helping Ryo up to his feet. Again, I belatedly feel them gathering the armors' powers, preparing to teleport. Unconscoicly I tighten my arms around Duo, almost as if reinsuring myself that he's still there. Glancing back at our attacker, I watch dumbly as he throws something at me. Biting back a yell, I feel cold, hard metal dig into my back. As the square fades out and the manor's den appears, everything wavers out into darkness....
