Life In Death

Chapter Three

It had been two weeks since the young boy had fallen into their hands and still he had not awakened.

Heero had been researching the young boy and so far they had found very little information. They had discovered that he was only a year younger than them turning seventeen in the next few weeks. His name was Harry James Potter and he was an orphan. They found his current legal guardians and had attempted to call them and let's just say they were already filing for guardianship of the younger teen. Heero gripped the handle of his gun tightly as he remembered exactly how that encounter had went.

-Flashback-

Heero, Trowa, Duo, and Wufei stood in front of a small white house one Privet Drive. They had come to discuss the small boy that had fallen into their possession only a few days prior.

Stepping forward Heero knocked gently and the door opened to a tall horse faced woman.

With a sneer she looked at them and screeched, "What do you want!"

Heero frowned before raising his preventer badge carefully, "I am Agent Wing and these are my partners we are here to ask you a few questions on you nephew a mister Harry James Potter?"

With an ugly glare the woman growled the venom in her voice sent shivers down even Duo's spine at the amount of disgust, "That little freak ran off. I want nothing to do with him. Ungrateful wretch never should have been dropped here to begin with! Freak of a demon! He is unworthy of all; we were forced to do for him. Leave I want none of this to be spoken of again. His stuff has been destroyed as I hope he is dead" The door slammed shut in front of their faces and Heero turned to face his small family already Duo's eyes had gained a small red sheen indicating Shinigami was taking over. Even Trowa held a hardness in his eyes Heero hadn't seen since the war ended.

With nods from the others Heero drew his gun before shooting the lock and slamming the door open with his foot all four had guns drawn and aimed for the three people in the living room.

The tall horse like woman from before and beside her a large whale of a man with beady eyes and blonde hair. Between them was a large child with the same looks as the man.

Heero smirked at the looks of horror on their faces as his three partners jumped into actions, "Mr. and Mrs. Vernon Dursley you are hereby arrested by the preventers on the premises of child abuse and neglect. Mr. Dudley Dursley you are herby arrested for harassment and physical violence. Anything you say can and will be used against you. If you cannot afford a layer then one will be appointed to you by the preventers."

Laughing lightly Duo took pleasure in 'accidently' twisting Vernon's wrist to much snapping the delicate bone beneath. Heero gave him a pointed look and Duo just shrugged and muttered, "oops".

With a snort of amusement Trowa lifted the horse faced woman from the couch cuffing her quickly and efficiently ignoring the protests and shrieks from the woman.

With a growl of annoyance Wufei pulled the struggling boy into a choke hold marching him out the door in a military fashion.

Heero searched the house finding what looked to be the burned remains of a trunk outside and sighed. So they did burn all his things. Well that was alright they could certainly buy him new things and put him through very good schooling. They would be better guardians then these idiots.

With a huff he helped his fellow pilots lock them into the car and drive off leaving all of Privet Drive in a gossiping uproar.

-End Flashback-

Chuckling the perfect soldier slipped into the room holding Harry and Quatre who still had not left the boys side. They could barely get the young blonde to eat or even sleep once the blonde had found out about the boys home life. It had been horrifying seeing Quatre's reaction to his report on the Dursley's.

Biting back a shiver Heero laid his head against the door way and closed his eyes allowing the memory to replay in his head gently.

- Flash back-

"WHAT DO YOU MEAN HE SLEPT IN A FUCKING CUPBOARD!" the normal quiet and polite blonde screamed at his fellow pilot.

"Now 04 don't get ahead of yourself, I haven't finished my report yet," Heero sighed as he looked into the now silver eyes of the 04 pilot. Shit he did not need Zero right now.

"You mean to tell me that you found all this evidence and there testimonies and you just arrested them for a fair trial! That will only put Harry under even more stress once he wakes up! I won't allow it! Heero this is not going to happen!" The blonde threw his arm back sending a priceless vase to the floor with an ear splitting crash.

Broken pieces of porcelain were spread across the floor making Wufei and Trowa wince. That had been Quatre's sister's vase oh this wasn't getting any prettier.

"Winner you need to calm down!" Heero shouted gently.

"Calm down…You want ME to CALM DOWN!" launching forward Quatre grabbed the wing pilot by the throat crashing him into the wall with a sickening crunch, "That young man is laying in my bed sick and injured by his own Family! He has whip marks! And words carved into his fucking flesh and you want me to show MERCY!"

Heero let out a small gasp his Persian blue eyes looking into his fellow pilots now liquid silver eyes, "Quatre this isn't you snap out of it."

Slowly the silver sheen swirled with blue and the pale hand fell from Heero's throat as a now crying blonde collapsed to the ground holding his hand to his chest, "Oh Allah Heero I'm sorry. I just oh Allah what have I done?"

Slowly Duo slipped forward and laid a hand on Quatre's shoulder only to have it thrown off.

Standing the aristocratic blonde looked away from his friends his voice soft and saddened, "Please let me know how everything progresses I wish to retire to my room," and with that he slipped off to his room with a delicate carefulness. Heero pulled himself off the wall gripping his now dislocated shoulder with a sigh.

-End Flashback-

Sighing gently he looked up at the blonde who was now looking at him sadly, tears around his eyes. Stepping forward Heero simply shook his head and Quatre nodded knowing he was forgiven for his earlier deeds.

Standing the blonde picked up the bowl on the bedside table taking a few bites of the cold stew within it.

"The trial went without any problems Harry has been relinquished to me and Wufei as his legal guardians now. His family is also in jail for the remainders of their life. It seems having five of the top preventers on the case were too much for the jury to handle. It didn't even take five minutes for them to reach their decision. Oh and Sally finally got back with his DNA scan and umm well we have an unexpected development. It seems the Dursley's aren't his only family."

Looking up in shock the blonde silently urged Heero to continue what he had to say.

With a shrug he continued, "Trowa is his biological Half Brother. We haven't told him yet we were thinking of doing it here in a few minutes if you wanted to be present."

Shaking his head Quatre sat back down next to the younger boy taking his smaller hand into his gently closing his eyes.

Heero nodded and silently left the room to join the other three pilots in the kitchen where he was confronted by a very hyperactive braided teen, "So is Q-ball speaking yet!"

With a shake of his head all four of them fell into a small silence before Wufei finally spoke up, "Oh Trowa we have some interesting news for you by the way!"

Trowa looked at the Chinese man with a frown, "What?"

Duo skipped over and slid into the tall leaf green teens lap snuggling up against his lovers chest as Wufei smirked in interest, "Well turns out you have a little brother!"

Trowa's eyes widened and Duo laughed kissing him gently on the cheek, "Tro! You have a little brother! That means two additions to our little family! Who is it Wu-man!"

Growling the swordsman, "Its Wufei you imbecile and no there aren't two additions only one. Harry is your half brother Trowa… If we had known sooner we would have put you as his guardian. Instead of me and Heero"

Trowa looked at the other pilots with wide eyes before gently setting Duo to the floor and slipping into the room with the silent blonde and coma like teen.

Kneeling in front of the bed beside Quatre he slowly took his now younger brother's hand into his own as if to pull the teen from his slumber. The other pilots slipped into the room as well to watch Trowa's reaction to his new little brother.

When slowly a small shifting happened in the bed, in a second all five pilots were around the bed looking at the prone teen even Quatre now had his eyes trained on the smaller teen.

Slowly as if it were a struggle soot black eyelashes fluttered and then opened to reveal a set of startling green eyes of the boy who had fallen into their family only two weeks ago.
