Prologue The Separation of Life and Death
By: Twistedlogic and Kii
Hard cold violet eyes locked with emotionless blue. The two unmoving figures, silhouetted by the dying sun, stood locked barrel to barrel. For a moment neither figure spoke. Then a slow jovial smile spread across the taller figures face.
"Come on Hiiro. I dare you."
Unflinching the stoic figure remained silent. "Come now Hiiro we both have our orders, anything to fulfill the mission right? We aren't both leaving here alive. Can't be done, you know that. It's your choice. I'm not afraid, are you?" Silence lay thick between them as the figure started to hum in a singsong voice. "Tick tock tick tock times running out."
Hiiro remained unmoving and steadfast. Sighing, the other boy brushed his long bangs out of his eyes. "Fine, here is the deal. I am going to count down from five. If I am still alive at one I am going to fire.
"Five…
Four…" The figure lowered his gun to aim at Hiiro's heart.
"Three…" His thumb slowly pulls the hammer back; the sound seemed to resonate in the silence.
"Two..." The muffled sound of running footsteps invaded their ears.
"One." The gun exploded just as the door to the rooftop was thrown open and three people skidded to a halt. Guns drawn and aimed at the tall boy they watch in horror as the other slowly sinks to the rooftop. The boys blood slowly spreading out in a circle from under his fallen body. Shakily the blond boy looks away and closes his eyes.
"Why? Why Duo?" the blond boy's voice cracked.
Cocking his head to the side Duo gazes steadily at his friends. Quatre was visibly crying, Trowa just stood there silent like always, and Wufei was trembling with rage.
"Yes please tell us you backstabbing bastard! How could you! He was your best friend! The injustice of…"
Duo whipped around quickly pointing his gun in Wufei's direction.
"We had our orders," He snapped. "I gave Hiiro the choice. I even counted down. He had every opportunity to change the outcome of this. But he didn't."
Wufei's eyes widen at the implication if the speech, Quatre stepped almost violently forward. He looked down at the body of his fallen comrade and friend and then up to Duo's face.
"But I don't understand. Why would the doctors order one of you to die?"
"Our orders came from higher up" With that Duo shoved past his friends and calmly walked down the stairs leaving Hiiro's body to cool with the last rays of the sun.
