Title: The Soul's Shadow [Part 3]

Warnings: Yaoi 1+3, a little Violence, the fic gets a little weird, most of it taking place in Trowa's "mind".

Disclaimer: Don't own the characters, but the idea for the fic is mine. ^__^ Go me!

CCT: I wrote this fanfic a long time ago, and just found it again. (it had been "buried" on my old computer. teehee.) And I wanted to share it with everyone. It's complete!

"Do you feel that you life's become a catastrophe?
Oh, it has to be,
For you to grow, boy.
When you look through the years,
And see what you could have been;
Oh, what might have been,
If you'd had more time."
--Take the Long Way Home, Supertramp

                "I do too! How could you know!?"
                [That's just it; does he know? Trowa, do you have a soul?] Trowa watched as the soldier slowly disappeared leaving the other Trowa alone in the water.
            "Of course I do!" The Trowa in the water shook his head.
            [Are you sure of that?]
            "Y-yes."
                [You sure don't sound like it.]
            "Everyone has a soul, right?"
            [Now that is a good question... Shall we see?]
            "What do you mean?" The Trowa in the water smiled as he walked forward. Slowly he emerged from the reflection standing face to face with Trowa.
                [Let's see here.] The Trowa in black leaned forward, staring into Trowa's eyes. Trowa blinked a few times as the reflection continued to stare. [Well, there's something in there. Let's just get a better look.] In a swift motion the Trowa in black shoved Trowa hard. Trowa stumbled back, falling to the ground. He gasped at what he saw afterwards.

                Heero sat in the same chair he had been for the past 48 hours. He held onto Trowa's hand tightly praying his love would awaken again. He had once since he was brought to one of the many rooms at the Preventers, but he had fallen back unconscious soon after.
Heero looked up as the door across from him slowly opened. Duo poked his head in.
                "Hi." Heero only nodded and lowered his head once more. "I just came to see how he was doing. Anything change?" Heero shook his head. "Oh. Well, I'm sure he will come around." Heero raised his head again, turning to look at Duo. Duo froze in the doorway, Heero's eyes showing pain he had never seen before. Heero's eyes lost that fierceness that had many men trembling at the sight of. Now all that was left were two blue orbs, shimmering with unshed tears.

                "H-Heero?"
                "Is he going to be okay Duo? Or are you just trying to comfort me?"
                "Eh?..."
                "Because if you are...just go away..." Heero turned back towards Trowa again. "I don't want it."
                "No, Heero, I'm not just saying it. He *will* be okay. I'm sure of it." Heero shook his head as he fell forward, tears finally streaking down his cheeks. Duo watched as his best friend began sobbing into the bed where Trowa lay.        "Heero." Duo moved over to Heero, getting on his knees beside him. "Heero? Heero, it will be okay...He'll be all right." Heero lifted his head and stared into Duo's eyes. Duo wasn't just saying it, he meant it and Heero could see that in his eyes. "Have a little more faith, Trowa wouldn't leave ya like that. Cha, he loves you man." Heero closed his eyes, another tears escaping, as he breathed out a long sigh.
                "I know he does...and I love him too...that's why I can't stand to see him like this...He looks so..."

-----------------------
                Trowa stood quickly, backing away from a very strange object floating next to the other Trowa. It was a deep blue color and was shaped like a circle, and very flat as if it had been drawn on a piece of paper. It just floated there as the other Trowa studied it.
                [I see...so you don't have a soul.]
                "What? Isn't that.."
                [This, Trowa, is the soul's shadow.]
