Chapter 1:What's Up With the Bad Acting?
"Hee... Ro... Why......Do... You...Fight?", Duo had said that one time, in the abandoned colony.
That memory, that voice, was so eerie, so different.... That it wasn't surprising it was still inside Heero's head years from that time. Three to be precise.... Heero shut his eyes, trying to precisely remember what Duo had said....
...
"Why.... Fight?...", Duo stated, "Why do you fight?!",
"...Because I'm a warrior.", he answered.
"Then... What is a warrior?", Duo asked, "Why?!",
"I don't know any other way to live!", he had yelled.
"That may be true until now... It USED to be you had no choice, you couldn't even choose to die!", Duo shot back, in that voice, "But the war is OVER! Everything you do now is your own choice! Your life is yours! But you still can't abandon your gundam!",
Heero remained silent, listening to Duo carefully.... "Do you enjoy risking your life, riding the knife-edge of death?", Duo glared at Heero with serious eyes, "You ENJOY death don't you?", these words were spat like venom.
...
The rest, it seemed was blurry, and confusing, Heero let his eyes open again. He let out a sigh. He had convinced himself it was just bad acting, but each time it was brought up.... Heero could note a little glint of not knowing what Heero was talking about in those two, clear orbs that Duo had for eyes. "Maybe, it's just my imagination...", Heero stated, to himself.
But it couldn't be, Heero had received a message from him a couple weeks ago, a serious message....
...
'Hi, this is the Yuy residence, if your Duo, quit calling fifty times to say underwear, if your anyone else, leave a message, and I'll get back to you...', the machine drawled, a slight click then.... "Heero, I.... I need someplace to stay a while... So I'll be over sometime this week....", Duo stated, in that strange voice, "Everything will be explai-.....", a moments pause, some struggling in the background, "I'll be over, just don't wo-", the message went dead then.
Heero remembered wondering if it was one of Duo's pranks, but it seemed serious enough....
...
That had been two weeks ago.... Heero'd gone to Duo's to find the police had a mile radius blocked off, stating that a kidnapping had happened a few days earlier at that apartment complex. After being decked out in all this junk to not contaminate the scene, and under close watch, Heero had been allowed into Duo's apartment. It had been torn to bits... Heero had went to the phone, which was hanging by it's cord, the cable looked snapped.
'But there's nothing I can do.', Heero thought.
A knock at the door startled him momentarily, causing Heero to jump a bit. "Hey, Heero, lemme in, please?...", he heard Duo state.
Heero opened the door, shocked Duo was standing there. "Well? You gonna make me stand out here all day, invite me in!", Duo whined.
"Come in.", Heero stated, gesturing for Duo to do so, "What was with that call a couple weeks ago?...",
"What call?", Duo stated, puzzled, "I haven't called you since you had just bought the answering machine, and left a hundred underwear, messages.",
"No, there was one that you left about you coming over because you needed a place to stay....", Heero raised an eyebrow.
"No, I-", Duo's expression fell blank, "I... Feel... Faint... Heero, do me a favor... An-", Duo tilted and fell to the floor, but at the last second, his eyes snapped wide open, and....
Floated back into a standing position. Heero noticed Duo's eyes, how they seemed to look at him. "It's time I explained myself....", he stated, "You don't have to believe me, just, listen....",
"Duo what are you planning?", Heero asked.
"I'm not Duo.", he stated back, "Let me explain, then you'll understand.", a pause, "I am Shinigami, and there are a few more things you must know.", he took a deep breath then, "Dark is not evil, no, only evil is evil. I am dark, but not evil. However evil does exist, and it did attack me. I was running from evil when I met Duo.",
...
They were still after him, still trying to kill him. Shinigami flew into the village, all still with slumber, he had to hide. His hand clutched his side, the sticky sweet smell of his own blood rose to his nose. He was hurt, and badly. 'They'll catch me soon, if I don't hide.', he thought.
He turned back, the winged creatures still followed him. They were once his darkling angels, but now, had turned to evil. He walked for miles.... Until he saw a small boy with long hair crying quietly. "Do you believe in the God of Death?", Shinigami wondered.
The child heard him, and nodded. Shinigami decided that this was his sanctuary for now.... This small boy.
...
"So I hid myself in his body, I merged with him to hide.", he stated, "However, my powers have led them to Duo, and they are also wearing down the body, like an engine, it cannot run on high forever."
"How do I know if this is true?", Heero asked.
"I knew this would come up...", Shinigami stated, holding out his hand, palm up.
Shadows seemed to come to his hand, and as they did they formed a shape, as soon as that was done, the shape was made to be real. Shinigami turned it vertically, and tapped it once on the floor, causing a blade to come up out of the rod. He quickly placed the blade by Heero's neck. "Believe me now, Yuy?", he stated, low, and deadly.
"Yes.", Heero said.
"Good, then...", his breathing came out in gasps, as though he'd run a great distance, the rod faded away, and Shinigami was leaning against the couch, "I knew I shouldn't of done that.... It was too much for now...",
"How much has the body been worn down?", Heero asked.
"Enough to where Duo's going to need a good friend to give him support...", Shinigami stated, "Because it's enough to put him into the hospital."
"...", Heero watched Shinigami lay down on the couch,
"When I wake again, it'll be Duo, but later I will explain what I plan on doing, okay?", Shinigami stated.
"I think so.", Heero stated.
With that, he fell asleep, and slept for a long while, when he woke, it was obviously Duo. "Eh, sorry bout that Heero, I didn't mean to pass out on you or nothing, but...", Duo stopped at Heero's arm waving.
"It's fine, just go get some supper, it's in the kitchen.", Heero stated.
"Oi, Heero, you're the best!", Duo ran into the kitchen to stuff his face.
...
It wasn't until late that night that Shinigami showed himself again, he came out of the bedroom, with two bags, both were light, one held Heero's clothing, and provisions, and the other Duo's. "We leave now.", he stated, tossing Heero his pack, "They'll find me in no time, mainly because of the scythe earlier."
Heero look at him, "And how are we getting to that island? I thought it was invisible.",
"Only to normal humans, but to me, it's as broad as daylight.", Shinigami stated.
"We taking a boat?", Heero asked.
"Nope, better, but, I can't tell you till we reach the docks, or else they might find out.", Shinigami grunted with satisfaction of the bag's weight on his back.
Heero quickly placed the next month's rent under the door, before following Shinigami down the stairs. Just as they reached the docks, Shinigami turned to Heero, "Now, I know all of this so far has seemed strange to you so far, but I have one request, don't think. Keep your mind clear, or blocked, but clear is better. They'll find out who owned that apartment, then they'll try to trace your thoughts, got it?",
"Got it.", Heero stated, "But how are we going to get to that island."
"We fly.", Shinigami stated, with a smirk.
Shadows crept forth from his back, and formed themselves into dragon like wings. "It's the one way we can travel, undetected a long distance in a short amount of time, without wearing the body down too much.", Shinigami explained.
Heero felt he had a lot to learn....
End Chapter: Tell me what you think! R&R, and if you didn't like, don't flame (And I mean ones that are down right mean, suggestions are okay.)
