The Prince’s Choice
Part 5

"TROOOWWWAAAA!!!!" Duo screamed at the top of his lungs. Quatre only felt
a little bit of anguish from Duo, which was odd. And then he felt Heero.
Heero did not like what was happening and was ready to do something about.
"INJUSTICE!" Wufei hollered.
Rashid and Abdul lunged forward. Rashid easily knocked Alex out. Heero
then turned to Muller. "You have two seconds to let him go."
"Or what?"
"Or I shall have my bodyguards dispose of you." Quatre said going over to
check on the fallen man.
Muller looked back at Rashid and Abdul. "Who are you?"
"I am Quatre Raberba Winner, Prince of the Desert Kingdoms. Now let him
go and take your friend and leave."
Muller stared down at the blond. He had heard about the desert kingdoms,
but he never thought he would ever meet one of its people. "You heard him,
let him go." Heero ordered.
"And who are you? His nanny?"
Heero glared. "I happen to be Prince Heero Yuy of the Kosh Kingdom. Now
let him go."
Muller was dumbfounded he let go of Duo and picked up Alex and left the
inn. Somehow dealing with two princes did not sound good. Duo knelt down next
to his friend tears threatening to flow down his cheeks. "Trowa? Trowa please
wake up. Trowa please I don't know what to do. Please Trowa, I'm scared."
Duo looked up when he felt a gentle hand on his shoulder.
Quatre smiled sweetly at the other boy. He could feel his pain; it was
starting to overwhelm him. "It will be alright. We'll take him to our rooms
and take care of him."
Duo's eyes got big. 'Their taking him away from me. No oh no! Please no
I don't know what to do."
"You can come with him if you like." It was like Quatre had read his
mind. Which he had, well his emotions at least.
Rashid knelt down and picked Trowa up. Duo watched, humans were suppose
to be bad, very bad. Humans were known to kill his people. In fact he
happened to know that it was humans that had killed everyone in the elf clan.
Duo was panic stricken, his eyes darted around the room. He watched as Trowa
was being taken away. The blond guy said he could go to, but at what cost?
Trowa had once told him that he was a being that many humans would want to
own. Is that what these people wanted? To own him?
Heero knelt down next to the fey one. He gently placed his hand on the
others shoulder. "Everything will be alright. We just want to help you. We
won't hurt you."
Dou looked at him, eyes wide and full of fear. Duo nodded. He followed
the others to their rooms. Duo watched as Rasid placed Trowa on a bed. Duo
went over to the side of the bed and watched his friend. Quatre went to the
other side. He had a wet cloth and start wiping up a small amount of blood on
Trowa's neck.
"I don't think its anything to bad." Quatre told Duo. "All he needs is
some rest."
"Master Quatre," Rashid stepped up to the end of the bed, "I have sent
Abdul to get a doctor, just to make sure."
"Thank you Rashid." Quatre turned to Duo. "I am Quatre. What is your
name?" Duo blinked. "That's Heero." Quatre pointed to Duo's right. Then he
pointed to the end of the bed. "And that's Wufei and Meiran. Do you have a
name?"
Duo looked at everyone. Should I tell them or not? What would Trowa do?
"Duo." he mumbled.
"Pardon? I didn't hear you."
"I said ‘Duo’. That's my name."
"Well it's nice to meet you, Duo."
Abdul entered the room and bowed, "Master, I am sorry but there is no
doctor in this town."
"I see, thank you anyways Abdul."
"I wonder why there isn't a doctor, or some other healer in this town?"
Meiran asked. She then went up to Duo. "Are you alright? You look a little
shaken. Are you hungry?"
Duo turned to her. She had a nice voice. "My friend?"
"Needs to sleep. You can stay with us."
"I....I don't know."
"Where else would you go?" Wufei asked, taking a seat.
"The forest."
"Is that where you live?" Heero asked. Duo nodded. "Do you live alone?"
Duo shook his head no. "You live with him?" Heero pointed to Trowa. Duo
nodded.
Duo looked at Trowa. He could help him if there wasn't so many people
around. A little magic, a healing spell. No problem. He'd done it before, he
could do it again. But he could do anything with humans watching.
"Maybe you should sit down." Heero suggested. He took Duo over to the
couch. Duo continued to look at Trowa. Meiran came over with a glass of water
and gave it to Duo. Duo looked at it funny. He had never seen a real glass
before. He used leaves. Heero took the glass and held it to his lips. "Here
drink." Duo opened his mouth and sipped on the water.
Wufei stood, "May I have a word with everyone?"
Everyone stepped out of the room except for Duo. When the door closed Duo
got up and went over to the bed. "Trowa, you need to wake up. I don't know
what to do."
Duo closed his eye and chanted. His body began to glow as he chanted. He
opened his eyes and chanted a few more words placing his hand on Trowa's
heart. He had cast his spell. There was nothing left for him to do but wait.
