Shattered Innocence

Author: Violet (though i do go by alot of names, all very similar)

Children's laughter was playing in the air like music as

two small children jumped on the queen sized bed.

"Higher Heero, higher!" Duo yelled, his 9-year-old

violet eyes sparkling, his cherry lips turned in a

smile, and his long chestnut braid bouncing behind him.

"High as the moon?" questioned Heero with his own

secret smile, bright Prussian eyes, and chocolate

colored bangs bouncing in his

face.

"No stupid. High as the stars!" Duo corrected

throwing his full weight down in his brief moment

of anger. Heero, who was just landing, wasn't prepared,

and his knees buckled underneath him. His small

body went crashing into the nightstand, sending its contents

scattering to the ground. All laughter and fun froze

as Heero sat up rubbing the back of his head.

"What was that for?" he mumbled, not too happy. Duo,

seeing that his best friend was fine, jumped onto the

floor in front of Heero, placing his small hands

on his hips.

"Don't blame me because you're dumb!" Prussian eyes

glared, not really wanting to start a fight. "Now

help me clean this mess so our parents don't find

out." Heero didn't argue, knowing Duo had a point.

While his mother was gone on long trips with the

military he often had to spend that time at Duo's, who

only lived across the street. However, the two

troublemakers would go to Heero's to goof around so

they could get away from fun-sucking adults.

The room fell in silence and felt heavy with tension

as the two boys picked up the scattered objects. A few

mumbles or clacking of objects hitting wood was the

only noise. Small hands reached under the nightstand

in search of other missing things when they grasped a

cold metal handle. Prussian eyes blinked in confusion

and pulled what appeared to be a small handgun out

from underneath.

"Uh… Duo?"

"What?" Duo snapped.

"Look."

Violet eyes went wide with fascination.

"Cool, Heero is that your mom's?" Duo quickly asked

grabbing the gun from shaky fingers. "We should play

cowboys!"

"Duo, you know I hate-"

"Fine," Duo thought. "You can be a soldier! A soldier

on a mission to capture the run away cowboy!" One

violet eye closed, taking aim at Heero.

"Alright fine, but you gotta get me first!" Laughing

Heero took off to the living room with Duo speeding

after him. Stopping in the door frame, Duo pointed the

gun around the living room looking for the soldier but

not seeing him anywhere.

"Bang bang, Duo!" Heero shot with his two hands

together as a gun, peeking from behind the blue couch.

Duo quickly raised the handgun, took aim, one violet

eye closed and brows squeezed together. Wild

laughter once again broke out until the clock struck

six, the tall grandfather clock singing to the new

hour. Duo's hands jerked back and a loud

"crack"

sliced threw the air. Duo jumped back, throwing the

gun aside, and stared at his friend laying in a puddle

of red.

"Heero?" A small whimper broke from his throat; his

whole body seemed frozen in fear. It all was a joke,

right? Heero was just fine. He had to be. Taking a few

shaky steps to loom over Heero, violet eyes widened.

Prussian eyes looked up like two endless holes of pain

and misery drowning in tears. Gasps for air were

frantic like a fish out of water and a rose of death

bloomed from Heero's chest. "Heero, I'm sorry I didn't mean

to!" Duo cried, his own violet eyes flooding with

tears. "Heero," He sobbed, clutching onto his friend.

His only friend now laid there, bleeding his life away, his

breath long ago escaped, and his tanned Asian skin

turning a pale white. And his eyes, the bright

Prussian eyes that held so much hidden life stared up

at him with no emotion at all. They were blank, dead.

"Wake up! Heero? Please wake up Heero!"

No matter how much Duo begged, how many tears spilled,

or how many choked cries Duo gave, his once best friend

wouldn't wake up. Heero Yuy was dead.
