Author's Note: The main part of this story takes not long after the Endless Waltz except the new Gundams have not be destroyed yet.
Some of you might recognize this story. I had posted it years ago during my height of my fanfiction writing craze. Though, I was strictly a Ranma ½ writer I fell in love with Gunam Wing and Duo, thanks to Adult Swim. I tried my hand at writing Gundam fan fiction. I had a few one shots but this was my first real multi chapter fiction. I choose to rewrite it for a number a reasons. One, grammar issues. Hopefully I fixed a majority of them throughout this story. Two, plot holes and convenient plot points. Three, the original direction of this story was just not something I liked and one of the reasons why I never finished it. I don't remember exactly why I stopped writing but life and a hard drive crash got in the way. After so many years I have found myself reading fiction again and finding my stories that I had posted on years ago were still available. So I finally decided to change this story to what I wanted. To those who might of read it years ago, I hope you like these changes and corrections. To those who haven't I hope you enjoy it!
Thank you!

Chapter 1: Seraphim
by Kayko
The Angel Seraphin glided over to the crying child, her hands were grasping her dying mother's dress. Eyes puffy and red she pleaded for help as the tears ran down her cheeks. "Momma please, please don't leave me." She sobbed as the other women tried to smile and calm her little girl.
"It's….okay…Kerry….I'll be fine….You'll be fine…"
"Momma please don't!" she cried.
Seraphin stood before the child and the dying woman. His dark illuminating wings glowed as he allowed the final good-byes. The woman, able to see him now, looked into his beautiful violet eyes and nodded, knowing it was her time. "You're my big girl…I love you…always remember that…"
Seraphin placed his hand over the women's heart and slowed the rhythmic beats. "Momma! Momma!"
He turned to the child, knowing she couldn't see him, but he spoke with no emotion. "Nunc est apud Deum, non solliciti."1 At that very moment the child's sobs ceased as if she understood the disembodied words, but the pain of losing her mother overwhelmed her and the tears came forth once again. Seraphin vanished from the hospital room where he had just taken another life. He reappeared in area that could only be described as a void of nothingness, a misty white nothing. As if it had a floor he walked over to a small group of angels. "Back from another mission?" A blond angel knows as Matthew asked."Yes."
"You don't seem like your ol' jolly self Seraphin?" Jacob, a red headed angel inquired.
"I don't know. Something wasn't right." As Seraphin moved closer the difference between him and the angels became very noticeable. Unlike the rest of the angels' wings, which were the purest white, Seraphin's had a deeper color, a gray, but still glowed with the same brilliant luminosity. His robes, a dark silvery gray.
His light chestnut color hair flowed freely passed his knees and his eyes, the only angel bestowed with violet eyes. Seraphin was the Archangel of Death, the highest ranking angel design to end the suffering and take the lives of mortals. Of course there were other Angels of Death, but Seraphin was the only one bestowed with the ability to restore life. There have been times when those who die aren't meant to and God allows their life force to be restored.
"What do you mean by that?" Matthew asked.
"Today I just took the life of woman, whose daughter was crying by her side."
"So, you have done that millions of times. Why is this one different?"
"As I turned to calm the child I didn't feel anything, it was like I didn't care."
"It's all right Seraphin, it happens. You're still the same entity."
"No, I am not. I have become dulled to the feelings of humans. I need to reclaim my humanity."
"And how are going to do that?" Jacob asked.
"I'm going to be reborn as mortal."
"A MORTAL! Are you crazy?" Matthew yelled.
"How will you do your job? The other angels under you won't know what to do?"
"They will be fine. I'll appoint Zion as second in command."
"But what if you need to rekindle a life?"
"I haven't had to do that for 500 years and if I do I'm sure God will let me know."
"But you won't remember who you are."
"Guys, guys calm down." Seraphin smiled. "It's just for one life-time, a mere 80 or so years, it's nothing, a blink of the eye."
"If you say so, what did the big guy say?"
"He agreed when I presented my case. The Almighty has picked a life for me to be born into and it should be very soon."
"Wow, I'm so glad you gave us time to say goodbye."
"Sorry guys, I didn't mean to cut it short, but I have to go. I do have to tie up some loose ends." Seraphin gave his two friends a quick slap on the shoulder and smiled. "See you guys in about 80 or so years."
"Later man, we'll keep an eye on you."
"One would hope since you are Guardians and Overseers. Thank you again friends. I have a feeling I will need your guidance."
The nurse smiled as she looked at the small bundle in her arms. She carefully walked over to the woman resting in bed.
"Here you go, Miss, a beautiful boy."
"My baby." She said as she took the child from the nurse's arms.
"He has the most beautiful eyes Miss, violet. Not many are blessed with the beautiful color of amethyst."
"You're right, I don't think I've ever seen such eye color before."
"This one must be blessed by God himself."
The women nodded as she cooed the small baby in her arms and rocked him asleep.
[After Colony 197, 17 years later]
The tapping sounds of Heero punching away at the keyboard were being drowned out by a certain long braided boy. He delivered a cold glance toward Duo who happily sat on his bed in a black t-shit and a pair of gray mesh shorts. His eyes were closed as he swayed to the music coming from a small music player in his hands. The earphones should be enough to quiet the noise, but no, Duo was singing… loudly.
"[I'm asshole!
He's an asshole, what an asshole
I'm asshole.] I'm assOW!."
"HEERO LEGGO OF MY BRAID!" Duo yelled at the pilot of the Wing Zero.
"Stop singing." Heero coldly said.
"All right man, let go of my hair."
Heero tugged once more on the braid that was attached the other Gundam pilot before letting go. Duo removed the headphones from his ears and pouted. "Come on, my singing wasn't that bad."
"Hn." Heero snorted as turned back to his desk and his awaiting laptop.
"What? You don't think I have a good voice?"
Without turning around Heero began typing away. "Duo, there are cats crying outside because of your singing."
"That isn't true and you know it."
"Hn."
"Jealous."
"I highly doubt that." He stated flatly. "Why would you sing a song calling yourself an asshole? Only a baka2 such as yourself would get joy out of it.
Duo jumped off the bed and walked around so he stood to the side of the desk. He placed his hand on top of the laptop and closed it. Heero turned and glared into Duo's violet eyes.
"Who says I'm singing about myself. If anything the song applies more to you then me." He smirked.
Heero's eyes narrowed and coldly said, "Omae o korosu3"
"Yeah, yeah, you always say that." Duo waved his hand and walked back to his bed.
"What makes you think I wouldn't follow through with that threat?" Heero stated.
Duo felt around underneath his pillow and pulled out his latest manga and started to flip through it. He looked up and smiled. "I mean how many times a day you threaten to kill me? Ten? Twenty?"
"Hn." Heero turned around and opened his laptop and began to type again.
Without taking his eyes off of the manga in front of him, "So what's the mission?" Duo casually asked.
"Haven't received any orders yet, except that the new mission requires a third person."
"Huh? I wonder who's gonna come?"
"Who knows?"
At about the same time a knock rapped on the door of the dorm room that Heero and Duo were in.
"Hey Duo are you in?" A voice yelled from behind the wood door.
Duo bounced off his bed and opened the door. "Hey Sen, what's up man?"
"Me and a couple guys are going to play some basketball, want in?"
"Basketball! Hell yeah!"
"Cool. Hey Heero you want to play too?"
Duo turned around and basically pleaded for Heero to play. "Come on Heero, you've been cooped up inside all day. Let's kick some ass around here."
"Will you shut up for the rest of the day?"
"Hey, my word on me being a straight 'A' student."
"You don't get A's"
"Ummmm… My word on being a student?"
Heero released a sigh, rolled his eyes and nodded yes.
"All right! Let's go!"
Tap tap tap tap tap tap. Duo hit the pencil on the desk during study hall.
Being undercover was could sometimes be so boring. It wasn't to long after the Mariemaia Khushrenada incident and being a Preventer was an ideal job. He got the action and the paycheck. EXCEPT when it involved, study hall. Duo hated study hall. You couldn't talk, couldn't sleep, and couldn't play on your phone, just study. What a waste of a class. So he tapped his pencil. If anything it would get under Heero's skin. He loved to mess with his partner's head. Tap, tap, tap, tap, tap.
"Hey Willams." A girl to his left whispered.
"Yea?" Duo asked quietly back, still tapping the pencil.
The girl reached out and grabbed the pencil and broke it in half and dropped it on his desk. "Stop it."
"Hey Maya, that wasn't cool."
"Duo you're driving everyone nuts."
"Well…"
"Mr. Williams and Miss Sienkiawics, this is study hall not lunch hour. One more time and you both get detention."
"Yes sir." They both said.
Duo scrunched his face and then smiled. He pulled out a piece of paper and with the half of the pencil still intact with a point, he began to scribble.
After a few seconds he smiled again and folded the paper up. He carefully slipped the piece of paper to the pretty dark haired girl to his left. She took the folded note and read it.
Maya,
If you choke a smurf, what color would it turn?
-Duo
P.S. You owe me a pencil.
Maya took a second and scribbled her answer on the note that Duo had just passed to her. She casually slid the piece of paper to Duo's hand.
Duo opened the folded piece of paper and read the response.
Duo,
Purple I think. It is the logical choice.
-Maya
P.S. You owe me my sanity.
Duo began to snicker at the response Maya gave him. Just when he was about to reply the note was quickly removed from his hands. Duo looked up and saw a pissed off study hall teacher.
"I hope you enjoy detention. I will see you both here after school."
Duo groaned and Maya gave him a death glare. He glanced over at Heero, who he could have sworn he saw a slight smile on the perfect soldier's face. But nawwww, it couldn't of been a smile.
Duo inhaled deeply as he walked out into the open. "It's great to be outside and out of that stuffy room."
"We wouldn't have been stuck in that STUFFY room, if you didn't get us in trouble with passing notes." Maya stated.
"Come on! It was a question in need of answering. Plus you wrote back. I didn't force ya."
"Yeah well, I guess you're right." She answered as she laughed.
"I love it when the weather is like this. Cool, but not too cold, warm, but not to warm." Duo sighed as he looked towards the sky. Almost forgetting the real reason why he was at this school in the first place. He was on a mission. He had a job to do. He knew he wouldn't be here much longer. He and Heero were waiting on their third teammate in order to complete their mission that he knew nothing about. As he walked he looked at Maya, his friend. She was pretty, smart and fun to be around. They were almost two peas in a pod. Heero condemned him from making friends with her.
"She'll just get in the way." Duo remember Heero stated coldly.
In a way, Heero's coldheartedness reminded him of Maya's boyfriend, Kado. He always looked at Duo as an annoyance or as any jealous boyfriend would act when your girlfriend is hangs out with another guy. Sometimes Kado's death glares were nose to nose with Heero's.
He began to giggle when he picture the two in a staring contest. It would be an interesting match indeed.
"What are you laughing about?" Maya asked bringing the Gundam pilot out of his trance.
"Oh nothing." He answered.
"Look Kado is over there!" Maya smiled as she began waving at her boyfriend. "KADO! KADO!"
A young man turned around from his friends and smiled. He was fairly good looking and with Maya as his girlfriend they looked like cover models for a magazine ad. However, when he noticed Duo, he frowned.
He walked over to them and was greeted by Maya who hugged him fiercely.
"HIYA!"
"Have you been with him all this time?" He asked coldly looking at Duo.
"Yeah, we were at…" She tried to say but was cut off by Kado.
"I told you I don't want you to hang around with him."
Maya sighed. "Kado don't start. As I was saying we were at detention."
"Probably caused by him."
"Hey, hey! I wasn't alone in this."
Kado glared at Duo once again. "Come on Maya let's go." He began to drag her way by her hand. She tried to protest but knew it was useless. She looked back at Duo and tried to smile. "See you later!"
"Later."
Duo opened the door to his and Heero's room. At the moment it was emptied.
"Well, I think I take a shower." Duo walked into the small bathroom provided by the school. Removed his clothes and the tie that held back his hair. He let his long chestnut color fall. Turing on the water he stepped into the shower.
An hour later Duo emerged from the bathroom with wet hair clinging to his back and arms. A towel around his waist and a brush in his right hand.
"Hey Heero."
"Hn."
"Oh what a great conversationalist you are Mr. Yuy."
"Hn."
"Whatever." Duo pulled a pair of black silk boxer shorts out of the dresser draw. Turing his back he pulled them.
"Any word on the mission?"
"Wufei is coming tomorrow. In one weeks' time we will infiltrate the underground base located 40.2 miles away from this school. Wufei will provide a distraction, while we break into the lab."
"Why does this have to be a three man job? Couldn't I just be the distraction as you hack into the system?"
"No, there are two separate systems that need to be cracked at the same time in order to pull the information."
"Oh."
{One week later}
"DUO!"
"Huh?" Duo turned around and saw Maya run towards him.
"Oh hey Maya! What up?"
"I did it Duo, I did it!" She said as she threw her arms over the braided pilot's body.
"What did you do?"
"Look! She pulled away and handed a piece of paper to him."
"Oh hey an A! Go Maya!"
"I know, can you believe after all that studying and cramming, I can't believe I did it. And it was all thanks to you!" She hugged him again and lightly kissed his cheek.
"Hey it's no biggie."
"I'm going to show Kado now, want to come over with me?"
Duo scanned the school grounds and located Kado. He stood with some of his friends, and glared at him across the way.
"Umm, no that's ok, Kado doesn't like me too much."
"Oh of course he does, come on!" She began to drag Duo over. "I want him to know that you are my friend and the one who helped me."
"Okay, Okay."
Maya reached the small group of teenagers and smiled. She still held on to Duo's hand when she greeted them.
"Kado, guess what Duo did for me."
Kado's eyes narrowed and the icy stare coming from him reminded Duo of Heero when he was pissed. Flatly he said. "Williams."
"Hey Kado." Duo tried to smile cheerfully but it didn't warm the glaze he was receiving.
"What did you do, Williams?" coldly he asked.
"Uh nothing."
"Oh come on Kado, stop that. He totally helped me with the Literature test." She said shoving the test paper into his face. "See an A!"
Kado removed the paper thrown into his face and his glare shifted to Maya.
"So you were studying with…with Williams all week. You said you were studying with a friend!"
Maya let go of Duo's hand and placed it on her hip. "I WAS studying with friend, DUO is MY FRIEND!"
"I don't care! I don't want you hanging around this guy!" He yelled as he pointed a finger at Duo.
"How dare you!"
"Hey…hey…Look there's my roommate and friend. I think I owe him money. I gotta go. Duo said as he tried to excuse himself. "Maya talk to you later." Duo swiftly retreated and ran towards Heero and Wufei. "Hey Heero, Wufei, wait up."
Heero turned his attention to the braided pilot as he ran towards them.
"Duo, What did you do now?" Wufei asked as he crossed his arms over his chest.
"Hey I didn't do anything. Kado is just being an asshole because I helped Maya out with her test."
"He needs to learn control." Heero said.
"Yea, no shit. I can't stand seeing Maya with him, he treats her like a possession."
"She'll have to figure it out for herself."
Duo watched to two argue and wasn't liking where the augment is going.
"If he hits her, he is so dead." Duo said
"I don't even think Sanders would do such a thing." Wufei commented. "In public, anyway."
Maya raised her hand and slapped Kado clear across the face. "JERK OFF!" She yelled and ran away from him. She dropped her test paper in the mud as she ran past Duo crying. Sanders ran after her, but she was running to fast and right to the main road of the school.
Without even looking, she ran out in the street. The next thing she felt was the cold steel of the car smacking against her. Tires screeched as her body flew up in the air and landed on the warm payment of the street.
"HOLY SHIT!" Screamed Duo.
The three Gundam pilots ran towards the accident and stopped just in time to see Kado Sanders who knelt down in front of Maya. Her blood stained the pavement. Many students and spectators started to gather around the hurt girl, some were on their cell phones. The driver got out of his car and started to babble with panic. "I didn't see her. I didn't see her…"
Duo began to tremble as he watch Maya's blood seep out of her body. Heero saw Duo and placed his hand on the boys shoulder. "Duo are you all right?"
Duo didn't answer.
"Duo?"
Duo's body stopped trembling and he stood straight up. His eyes began to glow and his pupils seem to disappear. "Puer So vivere.4" He softly said."What?" Wufei and Heero asked at the same time.
Duo stepped forward and let Heero's hand fall.
What did he say? Wufei asked at the same time Heero ask, "Duo what are you doing?"
Duo didn't reply. He walked over to Maya's body and knelt down on the other side that faced Kado. He held out his hands over the girl's body.
"Maxwell, what the hell do you think you're doing?" Wufi yelled from the crowd.
Duo didn't respond. His eyes were closed and he concentrated.
"Williams, What are you doing!" Kado asked but instead of an answer Duo started to glow The golden glow started admit from Duo's hands and creeped over Duo's body. Kado stood up stepped back as he watched the glowing boy. He began to trip backwards, but Heero caught him. Heero allowed the shocked boy right himself as he witnessed the scene.
"By the Great Dragon, what is he doing?" Wufei asked.
Duo's golden aura glowed brightly and two pure light wings started emerge from his back.
They were absolutely beautiful, pure light radiated from them, illuminating all that was around.
The crowd stood in awe as they watch Duo. From his hands a golden light started to emerge and engulf Maya. Duo breathed heavily and he lifted his head and looked straight into the heaven. He opened his pupil free, violet glowing eyes. His wings stretched outward from his body, a blinding light washed over the spectators for a second.
Heero's eyes adjusted from the passing light and watched as Maya began to inhale a breath. And then another and another. The golden light vanished, but the glow around the girl stayed.
Maya opened her eyes and stared into Duo's brilliant violet eyes. He brought his hand to her forehead he softly said something to Maya who smiled weakly and closed her eyes. The transcending glow that surrounded herself and Duo faded, as well as the light wings on Duo's back.Duo began to rise, but stumbled a little towards the crowd. They watched as he found the car that hit Maya and place one hand on its hood. He then proceeded to vomited up some sort of bile and then began to dry heave. He lifted his head and saw all the shocked faces of those who stood around. He looked up and stared right at Heero. He lost his balance and tumbled forward, Duo's eyes rolled up into his head, he passed out.
Duo found himself in an unfamiliar location. He was dressed in his normal black priest outfit. He looked around and found someone who stood in front of him. They were speaking, however, Duo couldn't hear or understand him. The person seemed out of focus. He tried to step forward, but he couldn't move his feet. He struggled and yelled but as he tried to move a blinding light washed over him.
Duo's eyelids opened. His eyes began to focus on the white tile ceilings from the bed which he laid in. As the white light flooded his eyes he heard a voice, but couldn't make out what was said.
Duo moved his hand and placed it on his forehead. "What the hell happened to me? I feel like I've been drinking for the last two days." He slowly sat up and turned his head and found Wufei and Heero.
"What? What happened? Did I do something?"
"You….You don't remember?" Wufei asked as Heero walked over and began to check is vital signs.
"Remember what?"
He got no answer, not from the Chinese Gundam Pilot or the Japanese Wing Pilot who was checked his pulse. Duo grabbed Heero's wrist and stared into his blue eyes. "Remember what?" He clearly asked again.
Heero still didn't answer. He just stared into Duo's violet eyes. Duo has seen many of Heero's face expressions, and he could read his eyes like no other. Usually when Duo saw them they were full of annoyance or murder, but this time Duo saw something he have never seen before. Confusion? Fear? Could the prefect solider be afraid? Was he afraid of him? What happened that caused this?
"Heero please. What did I forget?" Duo face pleaded as his grip fell from Heero's wrist.
"What is the last thing you remember the other day?" The monotone voice of Heero asked,
"Other day? How long have I've been out?"
"Three days. Almost four."
"Three days, whoa. Well, the last thing I can remember is Maya and Kado having a fight. She ran away from him and then…and then…a car hit her. OH MY GOD! Is she all right?"
"That is the last thing you remember?"
"Yes. Now what is going on?"
"It seems that you healed her." Wufei said walking up to Duo.
"What do you mean healed?" Duo asked with much confusion.
"She was dying and you brought her back to life." Wufei said.
Duo looked at Heero to see if what Wufei just stated was true. Heero nodded yes. He turned his eyes away from the two other boys and muttered,
"Wow, I didn't think I could do that."
"It doesn't surprise you?" Heero asked with much surprise.
Duo turned and faced his two comrades. He threw his legs over the side of the bed and looked at them. "Well not really, I mean, well yes it surprises me, but in a way it doesn't?"
"Maxwell what are trying to say?" Wufei asked.
Duo took in a deep breath and sighed. "I'll show you." He pushed himself off the bed and walked past the two pilots. He wandered into the bathroom and emerged with a small shiny object in his hand. He pushed back the sleeve of his left arm and held up the small but lethal thing, a razor blade. Looking right into Heero's eyes he positioned it. Before either of them could stop him Duo sliced. Blood began to pour from his arm, landing on the dark carpet below.
"DUO WHAT THE HELL DO YOU THINK YOUR DOING!" Wufei yelled as he grabbed a near-by T-shirt and applied it Duo's arm. Duo gently took the shirt from Wufei, without taking his eyes from Heero's.
"Don't worry, watch." He removed the blooded soaked fabric and held out his arm for both of them to see. Right before their eyes, Heero and Wufei watched as the neat cut began to close. Duo walked to the bath room and ran his arm under the water from the sink. When he came back, all was left of the self-inflicted wound was a slight pink coloring of the skin and a scar.
Both pilots were speechless. They looked at Duo who forced a smile.
"Well I guess you know my little secret."
"How long have you been able to do this?" Heero asked still in shock.
"Ummm ever since I can remember, but it gets easier the older I get."
"Have you ever…um… you know…Brought back the dead?" Wufei asked.
"No, this was my first time." He laughed nervously, "I kinda wish I could of been able to do it before. I never even known I could."
"Duo, when you healed her you said something to her."
"Really? What did I say?"
You spoke in Latin and said 'You're all right now. You must rest, the child within must live."
"What the hell does that mean?"
"You don't know?" Heero responded
"How could you not know Maxwell?" Wufei asked.
"I'm telling you that I don't know. And I don't know Latin. Who the hell speaks Latin anymore?
Before you saved her, you said the "child must live."
"I said that? Just great!" Duo threw his hands up in the air. "I don't speak Latin and I somehow managed to blurt out these words to Maya." Duo walked over the window and stared, turning his back on the two in his presence. Silence filled the room except a slight sniffle coming from the braided pilot. Duo's body started to tremble.
Heero noted this and opened his desk drawer, taking out some money. "Wufei, go and get some food for us."
Wufei eyed the money and nodded, he know Heero wanted to talk to Duo alone.
"Very well, be back soon."
Once Wufei left Heero turned back and watched Duo. He saw the jerkiness of his shoulders, indicating he was trying to hold back his crying. However, a sniff of his nose and a wipe of his hand gave it away.
"Duo…"
"Leave me alone Heero." Duo stated coldly.
"No."
"No? Heero I said leave."
"And I said no."
Duo whirled around coming face to face with the perfect solider. With tears in his eyes he began to sob. His face contorted in pained emotion.
"Why? Why her and nobody else? How come I couldn't heal Solo, or Father Maxwell or Sister Helen? Why not them? What makes her life so DAMN important? HUH? YOU CAN'T ANSWER THAT CAN YOU?"
"Duo, calm down."
"CALM DOWN! CALM DOWN! NO, I DON'T WANT TO CALM DOWN! I want to rant and rave all night long! If that's OKAY with you MISTER PERFECT SOLDIER, MISTER HEERO YUY!" The tears poured from Duo's eyes uncontrollably. The corners of Heero's mouth turned down. He didn't know what to do. He never had to deal with such emotions before. He thought of all the times that he should have cried when he destroyed a life, but never did. It was as if all the tears had built up over time and now were pouring from the Shinigami pilot. Fighting with rationale, Heero reached out and took Duo in his arms, and hugged him. He allowed the teen to cry on his shoulder. Somehow they sank to the floor as Duo collapsed and cried. Shortly after, the tears began to stop and Duo pulled away. With a tear stained face Duo stared into the blue eyes of his partner.
In his flat tone voice Heero asked, "Better?"
"No." Duo replied as he wiped his face with his sleeve. "No, I don't feel better, I feel stupid and weak."
"You are neither of those things."
"Yeah right." He said and turned his head to look away.
Heero brought his hand up and forced Duo to look at him. Sternly he said. "Duo, you are not stupid and you are not weak. When will you realize that?"
"Of course I'm weak. Look how easily I broke down and yes I'm stupid. If everyone saw what I did, then I'm a liability to the mission. THE MISSION! I've been asleep for almost 4 days, we were supposed to be done with it and be out of here by now!"
Silence floated in the air as the two pilots sat on the floor.
From the floor Duo looked around and finally noticed he was not in their dorm room.
"Where are we?"
In a motel across town. After you passed out, we grabbed you and ran. Wufei hot-wired a car and we were gone before anyone could track us. Needless to say, you are a bit of story on the news. I snuck back in and grabbed our GO bags later that night."
Duo swallowed deeply and asked Heero. "There is video?" His violet eyes seemed too big for his head as they stared at the Japanese pilot.
Heero nodded. "Cell phone footage. Not the greatest quality from the distance. But enough people were around who knew your name."
"Well great. If I wasn't any more of a risk. I just hope no one puts two and two together."
"I think you will be alright. The video footage of your being captured years ago was never the best and most of the kids in this school never paid attention to things like war.5"
"I hope you are right. Man, where the hell is Wufei with the food? I'm starving." Duo said smiling weakly."

AN: The title of this Chapter is Seraphim. I named the Duo's character Seraphin which is a play on the word Seraphim, which means an angelic being, regarded in traditional Christian angelology as belonging to the highest order of the ninefold celestial hierarchy, associated with light, ardor, and purity.
I have the next 2 chapters completed and will upload them shortly but it is late and I need to get some sleep.
