/Blah/ indicates thought/Shinigami speaking to Duo (don't worry - it's easy to figure out)
br
Duo sat upright in bed and frowned. Something didn't feel right... He wasn't quite sure until all the pilots received orders for battle. Something about them didn't seem right, but he shook it off as paranoia. br
*Why does it feel like night today? br
Something in here's not right today br
Why am I so uptight today? br
Paranoia's all I got left br
I don't know what stressed me first br
Or how the pressure was fed* br
He hopped up nimbly into DeathScythe's cockpit. Again he got that feeling that something was off. br
/You know why things feel off. Don't you? You still feel guilty for letting them all die. The Padre, the sisters, all of them. They died because of you. You lied to all of your friends. You didn't tell them the truth and you know it and it's eating you from the inside out. Because they wouldn't like you anymore if you told them.../ br
Duo blinked and shook off that train of thought. That pesky little voice in his head that kept telling him things. Shinigami was reappearing and he wasn't sure if he could handle him this time... br
*Flashback* br
/Duuuuo... Duo... I know you can hear me...Listen to me Duuuuuuuuuo.../ br
A five-year-old Duo shivered in fear. Only he could hear that voice. It was the voice that told him to do bad things... br
He stayed, huddled in the corner and the room where he slept burned. Bad people had come and tried to get the Padre to give them what they wanted. Padre hadn't let them and the bad people had set fire to the place. Duo was scared. Flat out scared. br
/Duo. Listen to me. You have to get out. Your future lies just outside these burning doors. Pleeeeeeeeease. Duuuuuuuuoooooooo.../ br
Duo ran. Blindly. He didn't know where, but he had to get out. Everyone else was dead and he didn't want to end up like them. br
*End Flashback* br
*But I know what it feels like br
To have a voice in the back of my head br
It's like a face that I hold inside br
A face that awakes when I close my eyes br
A face watches everytime I lie br
A face that laughs everytime I fall br
[and watches everything]* br
Duo entered the mental ward of the hospital. He was there to see Quatre, who had been hearing voices ever since he had blown Trowa up. br
"Hey Quatre. What's up man?" br
Quatre turned to face Duo. His blonde hair was limp, his blue eyes dead. br
"Shinigami lives," he whispered through cracked and bleeding lips. "I can hear him," he continued, "Shinigami follows you like a plague and you listen to him. You can hear him too. He watches when you lie and laughs when you fall." br
Duo backed up into the door. br
"Quatre no, you don't know what you're saying. Don't worry, you'll be better soon." br
Duo ran. Just like before.
