Everyone was staring at him funny, the hand on his shoulder tightened. Oops, said that aloud.
"No" and he bolted.
()()()()()() (btw, they treated their injuries when they were looking for Duo) (and the ((BEAT)) thing was suppose to represent Shinigami beating to get out)
Duo didn't get very far. Heero's hand shot out and grabbed his braid.
"ITAI!" Duo shrieked, hand going to his head. He scowled at Heero, he had ruined his escape!
Wufei smirked, "That was Justice" he remarked smugly, then squeaked when Zechs once again grabbed his ass, petting it like a cat.
Duo smirked, and was about to repeat what Wufei had said and then some. Heero demanded an answer. Duo sighed, blowing his bangs out of his face. No escape. So he decided to explain, from the beginning.
"This may get a little weird, but stick with me through it and no comments or questions until the end? Okay?" he tugged nervously on his braid, nervous habit. Quatre gave him a reassuring smile.
"Shinigami is, essentially; A demon from century's passed, before time itself, a god in my own right. I love mortals, their world and my lover, the God of War, and I love my job. I hold those few humans that I loved and love close, and often make them gods as well. For example, Sister Helen is the God of Mercy, Father Maxwell the God of Faith, Solo the God of Children's Ales (illnesses and bad things), Wufei's wife is the God of Balance, which suits Wufei, the future God of Justice. You all will take other positions as well as other people shall. Duo Maxwell, Shinigami, The God of Death, The Great Destroyer , Destroyer of Civilizations, Creator of Chaos, Hell's Master, Grim Reaper, Immortal Death, at your service. Questions?"
"How old are you?" leave it to Zechs to ask the rude question.
"Mortally, I'm around 16. In reality, I lost count."
"Are you really Duo? The street rat from L-2?" Quatre seemed concerned.
"Duo was who I was when I was human. I'm still him. Every once in a while, people like me get a 'vacation'. We get reborn as humans, in appearance, when the mortal body dies, we go back to our plane."
