Hey told you I wouldn't let you hang for long. ^__^ But I just _had_ to leave you with a cliff hanger. Aren't I evil? Yes I am. *hugs* but reviews keep me wanting to update~. But I dedicate this to Andrea and Annie and Emily with their death threats...*shivers* Okay. On with the chapter. ^_^

"Duo stop fretting. He'll be okay. Trowa can take care of himself,"Heero said rubbing his mate's back.
"You sure,"Duo sniffed, whiping a few tears off his cheeks.
"I'm almost positive,"Heero said offering a small smile.
"But we just left him out there! The scouts will kill him," Duo said with a new batch of tears flowing down his cheeks.
"He told you to get out of there, Duo....Trowa will be fine. He's promised to protect you. He won't give up so easily," Heero soothed.
"And I didn't."
"T-t-trowa," Duo wailed jumping up and hugging onto his friend tightly.
"I take it I was missed,"Trowa offered a small smile rubbing Duo's shaking back.
"You were missed," Heero nodded.
"We should move out. I only threw them off for a few hours," Trowa sighed, eyes growing dark.
"You were hurt,"Duo said looking up at Trowa, after getting his tears under control.
"Just a scratch. I was to quick for them to actually hurt me, but you must remember Duo. I trained most of them," Trowa smirked.
"I'm glad you're okay," Duo smiled.
"As am I. Quatre would kill me if it was anything more serious. But we really should move out," Trowa said taking the sack and putting it over his head.
"We're ready when you are, " Heero said standing up from his spot on the ground.
"Well then. Lets head out, " Duo smiled.
And so they did. With the scouts just hours behind them, they wouldn't get to use the forest as shelter much longer and with the condition Duo was in they wouldn't get much traveling done before his wearyness took over.

"I'm hungry and cold and tired and I want to sit down," Duo whinned trudging behind Heero.
"Can't you last a few more hours? The sun set just 3 hours ago," Trowa sighed, alreadying having this conversation with the braided loud mouth.
"No. I want to go to bed. A real bed instead of the ground. I've got bruises all over my back and I can't sleep on my stomach," Duo sighed.
"Just a few more hours Duo, then we'll rest," Trowa sighed.
"Just rest? How about sleep and eat," Duo asked.
"We'll see," Trowa said moving a tree branch away from his face.
"Come on Trowa. We have been walking all day," Heero sighed, feeling exhausted himself.
" Alright," Trowa sighed, " I can't aruge with both of you."
"Yay," Duo smiled flopping down onto the ground.
"Baka," Heero said shaking his head.
"What does that mean again," Duo asked.
"It means idiot," Heero said.
" Oh. Hey! I am not," Duo pouted.
" How about this. Your a cute baka. Better," Heero asked with a slight smile.
" I guess. I'm to tired to aruge about it now, "Duo yawned.
"Then eat up and if you aren't to tired we'll move out again,"Trowa said sitting down and opening his shoulder bag up and handing out food.
"I'm so starved," Duo sighed grabbing something Trowa handed him and eating it quickly.
"Because it's just not yourself you're feeding," Heero said with a small smile. Pride welling up in his throat.
"Hai," Duo moaned around the food in his mouth.
"Don't talk with your mouth full Duo," Trowa sighed eating his own share.
" Okay, nanny," Duo smiled.
"You should get some sleep Duo. We're leaving early in the morning," Trowa said making himself a bad, brushing off Duo's humor.
"O-okay. Good night," Duo sighed, snuggling up against a sleeping Heero and joining him in sleep.

I know it's short and I'm sorry. I've been really stressed out over my grades. I'm trying to get this out to you peoples. I hope you enjoy this chapter. I'm working on the next one, but I can't promise when it'll be out. *hugs* reviews always help though.
