"Angel's will fall."

Heero walked slowly, careful with each step as though afraid
he might step on something.But, what did that matter right now?
He heard it clear in his head, " Heero, you look like you're
afraid of getting your boots wet!" Duo's loud and clear voice
echoed through his head,but that was what it was, an echo.
Somehow, he smiled.
Sakura unwillfully opened the door to the silent apartment.
The one she shared with Duo and Heero" The room was quiet,
only the soft chirping of the bird in the other room seem
to reach her ears. Heero wasn't in either, she knew he'd gone
out, it was just her and the bird. Sometimes,she wanted to kill
that bird, Duo was way to close to it. Duo, the name hung heavy
in the silent room. She leaned against the door and buried her
face into her hand. She smiled to herself...Duo had been right.
Wufei ran his hand through his soaked hair, he rarely wore it down,
but it seemed like too much trouble right now to ut it up. The rain
soaked his hair, clothes... soaked everything, he didn't care, though
the others would.....they'd chide him about catching a cold....about
everything... He looked up into the rain, - Even mother nature is
mourning...- But....- she won't do that for long...-
Quatre stopped playing the soft melody, music was always an escape,
but everytime he played, it always brought back painful memories....
He'd been there, they'd all been there, he had wanted them to be, but
even he hadn't known, even though the signs were there. Even though in
the end he died. Quatre had denied his death, but he was gone, and he
wouldn't ever be coming back, he realized that now. The only person who
understood everyone was gone now. HE smiled up into the sky, Duo had done
the right thing he'd save a life and given someone else a chance to actually
live a life.
Trowa dropped the soft azure rose into the rushing river. unlike everyone else,
he was letting him go letting him rest at long last. He'd said that to them all,
' let me rest...too much fighting is bad anyway..' And he'd acted like himself,
died with honor....that was what mattered, " Goodbye, shinigami."
Hilde wipped away the tears that had formed again in her eyes, " I won't cry, not
now.....he wouldnt want that..." Duo, the name was so sweet....so wonderful to her.
It always would be....

" Hilde, let me see Hilde." Duo choked on the tears that stung his wounds, Hilde took
his hand.
" I'm here," She smiled through all the tears blinding her, " Duo, god, what'd you do?"
He laughed and wiped away her tears, " Damn hilde, don't cry over me..., shinigami is
unstoppable...remenber?"
" Duo, no ones imortal....not even the god of death." Sakura said hoarsley.
" You actually listened to me?" He laughed again, painfully,but all the same," Sakura,
take care of my bird,"Duo turned to Trowa, " I want you to take care of Hilde, like
you've always done." HE smiled weakly," Heero, you're a lucky guy, wufei, understand
that...Quatre....take care of yourself, alright?" Quatre nodded, " I love you guys...don't
forget me, alright?"
" Don't talk like that....you're not going to die," Hilde shook her head, " You're not going
to die duo, you can't. You promised we'd grow old together, you promised! Don't lie to me.....
Duo....please....I need you...I need you so g-d much."
Duo held her face tenderly....," Let me rest...too much fighting is bad anyway. Hilde, sweet,
sweet Hilde...you'll be with me forever..." He pulls her down and kisses her softly.
Hilde felt him go limp agianst her, his grip on her hand loosened...," Duo?" She pulled away, " No,
Duo, no, don't die...don't you dare die on me, shinigami, don't die..." She started sobbing loudly,
" No, Duo!"
Sakura buried her face into Heero's shoulder and cried....
*******
Hilde smiled and looked down at the silent grave, " Hilde, you okay?" She turned, Trowa stood
silhouted by the bright sunlight, an angel," you've been here for at least an hour now..."
" I'm okay, Trowa..." She smiled at him cheerfully," Duo was right....and thank you....for
always being there for us..." she held up her ring, " This was a promise Duo never ever meant
to keep...I was hoping you'd keep this promise."
Trowa stared in suprise at her, he'd loved her forever, he always would....but, duo had loved
her even more....," Hilde, with the line of work I'm in...... promises like that aren't possible..."
" Trowa...." She looked up into his eyes....she loved those eyes...., " I trust you'll live..."
" You trusted Duo to live....and he didn't... what if that happened?"
" Trowa...you're so sturbon..." She put a finger to his mouth, silencing him," I tust you. what
matters is here and now...Duo always said that...you know that."
A.N: Tada, all down. Please be kind, i just had the idea.
