Duo's Thoughts
Gami's Thoughts
{song lyrics}

* * *


{Playground school bell rings again
Rain clouds come to play again
Has no one told you she's not breathing?}


The rain won't stop falling. Faintly, Duo could hear the sizzle of the cold water striking the red hot metal of what was left of Maxwell Church. The controllers need to put out the flames, but the rain is going to make the Sister sick.

"Sister, Sister, get up! Your gonna get a cold if ya stay out here. Sister?" Gently he shook her, but still she stared sightlessly, her beautiful blue eyes dull. "Sister? Please get up."

The rubble beneath him was cutting into his skin and he was cold, wet, and tired. Why wouldn't the Sister wake up?

{Hello, I am your mind giving you
Someone to talk to
Hello}


"Sister please get up! SISTER!" Still she lay unmoving. Duo was sobbing brokenly; he just wanted to go home!

But, this is home. Why was home so broken? He couldn't remember.

It's all right Duo.

Duo jumped and looked around him wildly, "Sara? Tim? Skibs?"

They're gone Duo.

"Who's there?"

I'm here. I'm me. I'm you.

"What?"

I'm here to protect you. With me here they won't find you. They will never hurt us again.

"But who hurt us, Me?"

Oz and the Alliance. But we'll make them pay, we will show them not to mess Shinigami.

"Are you Shinigami?"

No Duo, We are Shinigami.

{If I smile and don´t believe
Soon I know I´ll wake from this dream}


"We are Shinigami, we are death." The braided boy smiled brightly, he understood now

Do you want to make them suffer Duo?

"How do we do that?"

First, we brush up on our street skills. Then we get off this colony.

Duo looked sadly at the woman lying before him, "But what about the Sister?"

She isn't here anymore Duo, but we'll see her again.

"You promise?"

Yes.

{Don´t try to fix me, I´m not broken
Hello, I am the lie living for you so you can hide
I don´t cry}


"Kid… I'm impressed you were able to sneak aboard. My security system should've been perfect. How did you do it?"

They grinned cheekily at the mushroom man in front of them.

"That's a trade secret. But if it helps your pride, I'll say it was pretty tough."

He's interested in us Duo, far more than he should be.

I know, Gami. What should we do?

"You're an interesting kid."

Tell him our name Duo.

You sure?

I think this guy can help us get our revenge.

"I'M NO KID! My name's Duo. Duo Maxwell, who may run and hide, but never tells a lie."

The mushroom man chuckled. "Maxwell? Like Maxwell's demon eh?"

He' s heard of us Gami.

So has everyone on L2. Come on Duo, this is our chance.

Sister…

A determined glint entered his eyes. "Nope, not just a demon. I'm Shinigami."

{Suddenly I know I´m not sleeping
Hello, I´m still here
All that´s left of yesterday}

Well, that was odd. Fun as hell to write, but freaky. Did anyone notice I used the origional dialogue in the meeting with G?
