***********

[Some time in the distant Future]

In the middle of the night a tousled dark brown head, attached to a gorgeous lithe body clad in skin tight black leather and midnight blue silk shirt, silently walked into the penthouse she shared with her Braided Baka and husband, Duo. Stealthy she made her way to the living room and sighed. Duo had fallen asleep waiting up for her again. 'Baka.' She thought as she easily picked him up, careful not to wake him and made her way to their bedroom. Duo had been doing that a lot lately in the last two weeks. He had stayed up a few times before when she had gotten her new job as a music mixer and disc jockey at the local hot spot, a night club called the Karmic Flame. But wasn't too worried considering she knew more ways then most people to harm or even kill somebody that was stupid enough to get in her way.

Not that she minded a little action in the least. A couple nights there was one would be rapist that found out the hard way that taking no for an answer would have been a good thing...If he hade'nt been lying broken on the street within three seconds of trying that is... Now he was holed up in the hostable for 8 months, most of his bones broken and in serious need of mental help.

'I should have killed him, now that I think about it. I wonder what Duo did to warrant the piece of shit psychiatric treatment for a year.' She smirks as she makes her way to their bedroom with her warm sleeping burden,'Then again I don't want to know. I still can't believe how I fell apart like that when I got home. Thank the Kami for Duo...'

Gently she deposited Duo on the bed and effortlessly stripped him down to his black with yellow smiley faces boxers and tucked him into the silken blankets. She quickly stripped and slipped into the sheets with him. Duo quickly sought out her warmth and wrapped himself around her.

"Heero." He sighed

She smiled slightly at the sound of her name. She ran her long boned fingers gently through his hair as he snuggled closer to her. She sighed mentally. It had been two weeks today when they both found out that she couldn't change back to a he. And neither understood why. Nore did their friends for that matter. Sally had offered to do some tests but Heero had turned her down having had his fill of such tests while working for Doc J and didn't want to go through more of them. Besides none knew enough about the cursed springs to make such tests feasible.

[Flashback]

"Hey Wu-man..."

"What Maxwell??"

"Ya did mention that the springs where destroyed right?"

"Yes! WHat of it?"

Duo didn't answer, Instead he pointed down the cliff they where standing on. Wufei grumbled , looking down and gaped.

"Im...IMPOSSIBLE... A great battle destroyed this area completely!"

"Well it looks possible to me Wu-man."

Curious Quatre, Heero and Trowa peer down the cliff. What they saw was over a hundred little pools or springs decorating the valley landscape, bamboo poles sticking out of them. Their waters lay calm and peaceful, Awaiting their next vict..er.... visitors. ^_^

Heero eyed the pools warily,"Hn!"

Quatre sighed,"I guess this means we're going around.

Bleeeeeeeep!

Trowa glances down at the portable radar. He looked back up and met the anxious faces of his comrades."They found us and are not far from here." He reported.

"Fuck!"

BOOOM!

The bomb exploded not far from them, sending them all flying. Trowa being the most agile of them, managed to avoid landing in one of the pools. Instead He landed right beside the one poor Quatre fell into. He sat up and came nose to muzzle with a large sabertooth tiger. The Tiger was golden in color with black and red striping along his legs and flanks. Long sharp canines the size of Trowa's unibang protruded from his mouth. Trowa emerald gaze met that of the tiger's.

"Quatre?"

"Grouf?" The tiger blinked in amazement and tried again, getting the same results.

"OH! Poor young sir. He land in Spring of Drowned Ancient Monster Tiger. Very tragic story of Tiger who drowned there twenty thousand years ago. Now who ever fall in spring take on form of Monster Tiger."

Both look up to see a fat chinese man wearing the Jusenkyo Guides uniform.

"Is there a cure?"

"Grrowl."

"I would like to know that as well old one." Spoke up a small red dragon, glaring at the Guide. The Dragon was roughly the Size on a persons arm. Different shades of red littered his scales. His talons wicked looking.

"Oh! Young sir fall into spring of Drowned Celestial Fire Dragon. Very Trag...erk!"

"Is....THERE....A.... Cure OR NOT!!!?" Wufei interrupted unsheathing his talons at the fat man's jugular.

"Is temporary Cure! Hot water change young sirs back to normal but cold water activate curse again!"

Trowa starred at the men,"There is no permenant cure." It was not a question.

"No."

Else where in the springs.

Heero stood up from the pool he had landed in, swearing and cursing under his breath. Vowing painful

revenge on their enemies. First he had to find them and..... why does he feel so off balance? Heero looked down at himself and froze. NO!

Heero patted her chest finding something that did not belong on the male gender. He felt himself lower and froze again in shock. Not finding male equipment at all. Luckily he had worn his trademarked Spandex shorts and green tang top. The top felt... tight now. His spandex was not so restricting...Heero-chan stared out into space,"I'm a girl." He murmured in shock.

"Heero?"

Heero-chan turned her shocked gaze towards the voice. What he saw took his breath away. The God of the Kitsunes had stepped out of the History books, or so it seemed from the vision he saw. Before her stood a seven foot kitsune, clad in Duo's trademarked black cloths. The kitsune had black fur with silver highlights, especially around his nose and at the tips of his ears. But what really caught her attention was the Kitsunes Violet gaze, slightly slited like a cats but still Duo's eyes that looked at her in concern and worry. Absently Heero noted that Duo had seven tails

"Hee-chan, speak to me! Are you alright?"

Heero-chan nodded shakily,"Hai."

"Ya sure?"

Heero-chan just glared at him. Duo chuckled,"I'll take that as a 'yes baka.' Well common ol' buddy. The others are talking to some fat guy. I hope Fei doesn't kill 'em. He's more than pissed as it is."

"Hn" Was her noncommittal response as Duo through an are around her shoulders, they started walking toward the others. She'd never admit it even under torture, but she liked his arm there.....

Duo chuckled at a thought of his,"Ya know Hee-chan I know one things for sure."

"What?"

"'lena-chan is going to be hard put to find ya now!"

Heero-chan stopped suddenly and thought that over, A small smirk making it's way to her lush lips...

[End Flashback]

Heero-chan smirked in the darkness,'His cursed form is quite....interesting in bed too... I just wish I knew why...' she thought as she fell asleep.

//Heero found himself running and jumping over that high wire fence again. He landed, leapt right back up and ran down the hill. He tucked and rolled down the hill to come to a stop on his back, laughing. He opened his cobalt eyes to see a young girl giggling over him. He sat up and she moved away slightly, her puppy yapping happily at both of them.

"Your not lost anymore, are you nee-chan?" She asked him with a gentle smile.

He blinked, this wasn't how the dream went. He shook his head and smiled slightly at the little girl,"No.... Not anymore. Not since I found what I was looking for." He replied to her earning another warm smile from her.

"I'm glad. 'Cause I didn't like to see you lost." She handed him a little yellow flower,"Here this is for you nee-chan."

Heero took the flower from her,"Thank You." He looked at the flower then back up at her, questions in his cobolt gaze.

She giggled and shook her head. The puppy ran in the other direction chasing a butterfly and pulled her along with for the ride. The little girl looked over her shoulder at him, "Iia. Thank you, Oka-chan." She whispered in reply.//

Beside the dreaming Heero, Duo twitched in agitation earning him an unconscious squeeze from his koi. Duo whimpered and snuggled closer.

//A full grown Duo ran through the streets of his childhood on L2. Knowing full well what he'd find when he finally got to his destination. But Duo ran on anyway, determined to make it this time even though he never did in real life. To save that one life that had meant everything to him in his past. And still did.

Duo ran into the rundown building, bypassing the dead and dieing, till he got to certain room. He opened the door frantically and ran to the figure on the bed. It lay still..Still as death.

"No..Not again. How many times must I go through this fucking nightmare?" He cried out.

"'bout time you got here! I've been waiting for ages. Man, you just love to take your time!"

Duo stared as the lump on the bed sat up to reveal his dead friend Solo... Except said friend didn't look so dead now,"What the hell is going on? This is NOT how this dream went!"

"And your complaining? Weird man."

Duo snorted,"Look who's talking!"

Solo smirked and hoped off the bed,"I don't have much time, So I gotta make this quick."

"Whadaya mean man!"

"Lets just say I'm glad what you've done so far in your life. You've made me proud no few times."

Duo didn't reply. He couldn't get anything past the sudden lump in his throat.

"I really Like your Man as well. Beats me how you got past that thick shell of his though."

"Perseverance."

"Stubbornness you mean."

"There's a difference!?" Duo replied with a smirk.

"Ya there is. I just wanted to tell you that." Solo replied starting to fade away.

"Hey wait! Where ya going!?"

"Oh don't worry Duo you'll see me again. After all your not that lucky!"

"Eh?"

"See ya later Dad!" Solo smirked and faded totally away.

Duo stared at the spot where his dead friend used to be,"Dad?"//
