Duo: Newbie Vampire
----------------
I knew I should've brought a flashlight! Duo thought to himself as he strolled down the dark damp alley. Dou really wished Heero didn't have to kick him out of his apartment, and he really had no where else to go. He really hated the fact that Hilde joined Relena on that peace mission on colony 256779, with Hilde gone, no one was at their apartment except Duo. Duo really regretted leaving food crap around their apartment, now the roaches were practically running the place, that was the reason he had to stay with Heero.
Why does roach spray have to be dangerous to humans?
Duo was so busy feeling sorry for himself that he didn't notice a dark figure sneak behind him. Before he knew it, the thing pounced on him, opened its jaws, and slowly pressed its long fangs into Duo's neck until they broke the skin, and warm red blood oozed out.
-----------
Great, that idiot probably got himself lost again.
Heero was not very fond of having that annoying braid for brains pilot around, but Relena insisted to let Duo stay at their place until his apartment was roach free. It wasn't like Heero was afraid of an angry Relena or anything, it's just that he didn't like to hear her nag sometimes (suuuuure). Heero turned around the corner hoping that he would find Duo, instead, he saw Dorothy chasing Quatre with that foil of her's again.
Come back here Quatre Raba Winner!! I will show you how miserable war really is!!! yelled Dorothy at the top of her lungs.
I'm sorry!, I didn't mean to leave the seat up, AIYEEE!!!!.
Dorothy was always a good aim, Heero thought to himself. It was really strange how Dorothy and Quatre got together after the Libra incident. He heard that Dorothy stabbed Quatre, who didn't seem to mind.
Old habits die hard.
It was too long of a walk. Heero decided just to go back and get his car. He smirked at the fact that he had a cable net launcher recently installed.
----------
Meanwhile...
A young woman was walking home from work after her night shift. She could feel foreign eyes looking upon her as she traveled the dark street. She really didn't know what IT was, but she could feel its malignant presence berating down on her. Each step she took she could feel the sensation grow stronger, each movement she made caused the presence to manifest its self better in the dark reaches of her imagination. She heard a single step behind her which quickend her heart beat and made her pulse sky rocket. She turned around abruptly to find nothing there. She sighed in relief. She turned to face forward again to see a pale young man with a braid showing a toothy grin which revealed large fangs glistening with his warm saliva.
The great god of death is here to take your blood young one! proclaimed Duo, still bearing his fangs. The girl thought about screaming, but instead started to laugh uncontrollably.
Hey! What's so damn funny!?
Nice costume there, I didn't know Halloween was here so soon.
Costume!?, I am a creature of darkness, a minion of the underworld, the GREAT DESTROYER, THE GOD OF DEATH!
Ok whatever, here's some candy, now leave me alone.
The girl placed a pack of bubblegum in Duo's hand and started to leave.
Hey! come back here OOFFF-
Apparently Duo tried to chase after her, which resulted in a purse-full-of-bricks to find its way to his face.
My purse is from a place called stupid jerk's face, and it just got homesick! she yelled as she trampled off.
Duo lay there on the cold hard concrete thinking to himself Geez, being a vampire sucks!
--------
That is it, if I don't find that braided haired fool, I will shove a yard stick up his ass sideways!
Heero was always a violent one when he doesn't get what he wants.
He prowled the streets looking for his prey. An annoying prey that was quite elusive, a prey that used its innate ability to annoy its predators to death. That prey's name was Duo. After searching for a few hours Heero decided to get some help, mainly a young Chinese pilot.
Heero arrived at the apartment complex in, wouldn't you have guessed, china town. It was a nice complex, actually one of the best in the city.
Duo was staying here for a while, that is until Wufei tried to stick Duo's braid in a blender.
Heh heh heh, Heero chuckled to himself.
I'll have to remember that sometime.
Why does that woman leave all of her stuff around here?! Injustice!
Yup, must be Wufei all right.
The flare that had erupted between Wufei and Sally was not secret knowledge, everyone knew they had gotten together after the incident with the Barton Foundation. It wasn't like they told anyone, it was the way they looked at each other that gave them away, how they acted differently around one another. When asked about the relationship, they quickly dismissed it as a silly notion, but everyone knew anyway, they were both bad liars. Heero climb up the ornately decorated stairwell to the handsomely carved wooden door. Heero rung the doorbell and in a matter of seconds was face to face with the Chinese gundam pilot.
Oh Heero, what do you want? asked Wufei slightly irritated by the interruption to his cleaning.
What's with the women's underwear Wufei?
What underwear?
The one that's on your shoulder.
Heero pointed to the light pink panty that dangled from Wufei's shoulder, caught by the shoulder button that all traditional Chinese clothing have.
You should probably tell Sally not to leave all of her stuff lying around.
That's what I tell her but- um...I mean, it's not any woman's.
So you go out and buy women's underwear so you can fling it around your apartment and complain later how it's not picked up?
No its just!- None of your business!
Heero smirked. Point goes to Heero.
So anyway, what are you doing here?
I need your help finding Duo.
Hearing Duo's name seemed to cause Wufei's face contort and turn a reddish purple.
THERE IS NO WAY I'M HELPING YOU FIND THAT IMBECILE OF A PILOT!!
Ok, but I guess I should tell the others of your underwear problem, you know, we care, we want to help you.
You wouldn't!
Wufei, I've killed countless people, people who were soldiers and civilians, what makes you think I would keep a silly secret?
FINE! I'll go help.
Point game and match.
-----------------
Dou was really getting tired of finding a suitable victim. Everytime he came across a person he would always end up trying to convince them that he was a vampire.
It was not a good day to be a supernatural.
He was really running low on blood, so low he was desperate to find some.
I'M NOT DONE WITH YOU QUATRE RABA WINNER!!
Dorothy please consider- AIYEEE!!
Dou found the answer to his problem.
He wasn't going to bite into the necks of Quatre and Dorothy, oh no. He would collect the blood left by Dorothy's .
Jackpot
The warm blood tasted good and sent a surge of new strength throughout his body.
Haven't gotten a rush like that since Hilde was here, heh heh heh.
DOU HELP ME! Quatre yelled as he ran by.
Dou was so distracted by Quatre's plea for help that he didn't notice that certain yellow Rolls Roise coming. The impact of Dorothy's car against Dou's body was very unpleasant to say the least. If Duo wasn't a vampire he might have been seriously injured. Duo slowly got back on his feet; his back now hurt like crazy.
It was not a good day to be a supernatural.
----------------
Hmm...blood...
Heero and Wufei stumbled on some blood in the street while on their quest to find a certain braided haired pilot.
There are two types of blood here, one is Quatre's due to this piece of cloth is the only type Quatre wears, But whose is the others?
Wufei took a closer look at the second sample.
Must be Duo's, I know his blood anywhere.
Heero probably knew how Wufei would know, but he decided not to ponder on it too much.
There is something else different about it though, look, Wufei said as he pointed out a detail, This blood is extremely thick, and you know what that means.
Heero did know what that meant. The city had a problem that it did not want to discuss mostly because it was too outrageous to believe.
Yup, we got a vampire on our hands.

Trowa didn't usually like going on errands for anyone but Catherine, at least that was until he met her again. Midii Une was a girl he had met when he was a small boy playing soldier. She had sold out his comrades for money that she needed to feed her sick father and three brothers. She said she hated him for being empty inside, she said she hated him because he had nothing to loose. He spared her life back then, he had no idea why, he was a soldier, he had a duty to perform, a duty he couldn't carry out. Seven years later he met her again. She appeared at his door step on late evening: (flashback, DUH)
*knock knock*
I wonder who could want something this late at night?
Trowa opened the door.
Sorry for the disturbance, but could you direct me to- the blonde headed woman stared at Trowa with eyes wide open. Its you...
The young woman fainted into Trowa's arms. He had absolutely no idea who she was, at least at that instance. He carried her over to the couch where he covered her with a soft woolen blanket. He fetched some ice to help lower her rising temperature. Looking at her while she slept he began to remember who she was.
Midii Une?
Trowa was equally shocked as Midii was to see someone from his dark past. She began to come around.
Ugh...where am I? Hey could you- Trowa almost thought she would faint again, You're... No Name.
Trowa flinch at the sound of his old title, a title that was associated with pain and suffering.
I don't go by that now.
What do they call you now?
I am Trowa Barton.
There was an awkward silence that seemed to make both of them very uncomfortable.
What are you doing here, what happened to your family?
Midii Une fidgeted anxiously, They...They're not alive anymore..
I'm sorry.
No it's fine. I actually came here to ask where the manager's tent was. Mercenary work doesn't pay in these days of peace.
I would hope so.
The circus in which Catherine and Trowa were a part of decided to stay on the earth, finding that staying in one place attracted more business. The result in the drastic change: the circus was world renowned.
The silence was there again.
I don't hate you anymore.
Why's that?
I'm like you were, I have no place to call home anymore...
You do now...
No Name...
I am Trowa Barton.
------------
Trowa didn't usually like going on errands for anyone but Catherine, at least that's until last night when he met her again. For her, he would do anything.
Ow, goddamn Dorothy, always having to go over board with everything...
Trowa recognized the voice of the Death Scythe's pilot.
Something wrong? asked Trowa.
Huh? Oh hello Trowa, yes there is something wrong, and something you can help me with.
----------
You know, this would be a lot easier if we had some extra help. complained Wufei who was obviously irritated about being bribed into the quest for Duo.
Well it looks like we have some.
Quatre was limping around the corner. Heero guessed he had finally gotten away from Dorothy. Even though Dorothy was ever so cruel to Quatre, either for vengeance or worse, pleasure, Quatre would not talk bad about Dorothy, otherwise he would revert to Psycho Quatre, a side of him that Trowa knew all to well.
Quatre, since you don't look busy would you help us on a little hunt? asked Heero.
Oh you mean like a Easter egg hunt? I love those, except when I find Dorothy's special egg which explodes on contact-
No, a man hunt.
Heero, I didn't know you were like that-
No I'm not gay Quatre.
Oh...oh please no Heero. I know the meaning of man hunt all to well thanks to Dorothy.
Oh you weakling man, can't you even stand up to a woman?! Wufei exclaimed interrupting Heero.
She isn't any ordinary Woman, she's Dorothy...
Oh yeah, only the strongest of men can survive her. She'd rip you apart if you weren't strong enough to take a beam cannon shot in the chest.
Heero began his explanation once again, the man hunt I'm talking about is a hunt for Dou.
Why is that?
He's not normal.
Well I KNOW that.
No, you see; He's a vampire.
-------------------
END OF CHAPTER 1
Author's note: I hope you like this new approach I'm trying. I really went out on a limb for this story. I mean mixing vampires with mobile suit pilots is really short of normal. If you are wondering who EXACTLY who Midii Une is, you can read the manga: Episode Zero. Anyway I would appreciate some constructive criticism and please no flames, I don't have time for that.
