Kaizoku no Shou Part 1
Quatre watched the boy falter and pass into unconsciousness. He'd been too stunned to answer when the boy asked his question, and he was still stunned. He quickly walked over to Heero, but was shaken off by the Japanese captain who said he was fine.
Heero walked over to where Trowa held G captive. With his best smirk he addressed his rival. "One of your men injured me. What do you think I should do about that?"
G spat at Heero's feet, and received a blow to the stomach for his troubles. "He ain't one of my men! Some damn stowaway we caught. So if you're looking for an excuse to kill us all you'll have to find a better one!"

Quatre nodded absently and looked down to where the boy lay sprawled on the deck. His long braid was coming loose and framed his face. Quatre had the feeling that if cleaned up the boy would be quite attractive. The fact that he was able to injure Heero implied that he had no small amount of fighting skill and spirit.
He looked again at G and saw the hate directed at the unconscious boy, and he knew that his decision had been made for him. He couldn't leave the boy to these men.
Heero glanced at Quatre and growled out his orders. "Trowa! Usual procedure." The first mate nodded sharply and began tying the crew and captain up. If worked at long enough the knots would eventually come out, but by that time the Lazarus and her crew would be long gone.
Heero swiftly turned to the ship's doctor and nodded. "Go ahead."
Quatre smiled gratefully and scooped the boy into his arms. He was surprised at how light he was... but then he realized that if the boy had no money for passage on a ship then he probably didn't have enough money for food either.
Quatre nodded to himself. This boy needed his help.

Heero frowned at Quatre's insistence they put the boy in his bed. His. But he had to admit that he looked in rather rough shape.
Then a twinge in his left shoulder reminded him just what this boy was capable of. Heero grinned the boy was quite pretty once cleaned up... yes he had the feeling that he would quite enjoy getting his revenge. Heero ran his fingers over one smooth cheek and smirked when the boy stirred. Then those eyes slowly opened. "Wh... where am I?" The boy had a soft voice, or was that because he'd only woken... no matter. Heero looked forward to making him scream.

Duo struggled back to consciousness. He tried desperately to ignore the throbbing pain in both his shoulder and his wrist.
Something warm brushed against his cheek drawing Duo even further from sleep.
He slowly opened his eyes to see that... man from the ship! "Wh... where am I?"
Duo found himself staring. The boy... err man was only a few years older than himself! But that wasn't the only reason he was staring. He had dark unruly hair and slightly Asian features... but what really stood out was the pair of stunning cobalt eyes that currently watched him.
"I'll ask the questions. Who are you?"
Duo stared at the man, but considering that he had been saved from G this man couldn't be bad.
"Duo Maxwell. Now would you please tell me...?"
He just nodded as if it weren't of any importance. "You are on the pirate ship Lazarus. I am Heero Yuy, the captain. And you are my captive."
Duo was momentarily shocked speechless. Then he snapped out of it, "What??! What in the hell are you talking about?!"
"It's simple. My crew and I captured the Moonshadow and brought with us whatever we liked." Duo squirmed as Heero leered down at him. "And I liked you."
Duo might not have gone to school, but he was no fool. He knew exactly what Heero was thinking. "Oh hell no!"
The captain only smirked. "Oh hell yes koneko."
Not caring about the last bit that he didn't understand, Duo got the idea. And he didn't like it at all. Deciding to take the offensive, Duo launched himself off the bed and attacked Heero's wounded shoulder.
What he didn't count on was Heero grabbing his left wrist and twisting it behind his back while pinning him to the captain's chest in the process. His attack and subsequent capture took all of about 1.5 seconds.
Trying to push away with his right hand while also trying to ignore the agonizing pain in his left wrist wasn't working. "Lemme go!!!" As still more tears filled his eyes some random thought flitted through Duo's brain. ~This is the most I've cried in the past seventeen years!~ But that thought was soon replaced by more pertinent thoughts of how he was going to get out of this situation.
"And why should I, koneko? Hmmm? I rather like you where you are."
Duo froze. He realized just what a predicament he was in. He could feel the captain's breath on his face as he stared up into his blue eyes. Heero still held his wrist, but not so tightly anymore and the pain receded to a low throb. The braided boy slowly became aware of how close he was to the other boy, and how warm Heero's body was.
Then Heero's lips were on his own. Shocked as he was he could only let out a short "Eep!" Before Heero slid his tongue into Duo's mouth.
The sudden invasion shocked him into acquiescence quicker than he'd like to admit. But when Heero's tongue touched his Duo found himself returning the kiss with equal enthusiasm.
Somehow in the course of their actions Duo's left arm got free and joined his right in wrapping themselves around Heero's shoulders. The taste and feel of Heero was quickly overcoming any of his misgivings.
~*~
Heero slid his right hand up Duo's arm to cover his hand and give his assent for the liberty taken, and possibly take a few liberties of his own, until the beauty in his arm gasped. Duo tightened the grip of his right hand and caused Heero's own wound to twinge.
He smirked down at his captive...? "Looks as though this will have to wait until we are both healed, koneko."
Heero scooped the shocked boy up into his arms and deposited him back upon the bed. "You'll eat later. Sleep now." He tried to keep the gruff tone in his voice, but now that he had tasted his koneko Heero actually wanted to... cuddle? Sickening. He was going to have to have a talk with Quatre about this.
Duo was tucked in easily enough, and Heero was able to slip out without having to say another word.
The moment he was out the door Heero went in search of the ship's kindhearted doctor. "QUATRE! We have to have a talk about you picking up strays!!!"

On the other side of the ship a fair-haired boy decided it might be a good idea to stay close to his lover for a little while.
