The Kiss of a Vampire
Chapter Four
Heero spent that night with a spatula permanently attached to his hand, as he had to keep prying Relena off.
Duo appeared in the shadow just before dawn and growled quietly at the site of the women in bed with Heero. Though she was laying at the foot like the dog she was, she was still there. Duo sent a cold chill through the room to get Heero's attention. He would need to be invited in.
Heero sat up with a shout. "RELENA!!!!!!" Heero saw red and bashed Relena off the bed with the spatula. "GET OUT!" Her head not processing properly she high tailed it out of the room.
Heero looked up at his balcony. "Duo! Come in." Heero jumped up and opened the door for him then closed every curtain in the room making it very dark. Then he moved and lit some candles around the room.
"I don't think I've seen you so happy to see me. Or so happy, period." Duo said with a smile, spreading out on Heero's bed. no matter how much sleep he got at night, the day just seemed to drain him of life...or the life he had anyway.
"Are you okay, Duo?" Heero moved over to the bed next to Duo.
"You couldn't have asked for me to just spend two night with you, could you?" Duo asked with a smile and pulled Heero down onto the bed with him.
"Why do you want me to come with you?" Heero asked.
"Heero, I have been alone for way too long, a vampire only chooses someone when they appeal to them in some way. Like I said before, I like you, you have spirit." Duo started laughing. "Not many people will invite a vampire into there room willingly. Nor, talk to them without fear." Then Duo's face straightened. "Though I may have to punish Quatre for giving you my name." He said seriously.
"Hn" Heero relaxed in Duo's arms.
Before even a minute had past Duo was asleep on the bed, Heero in his arms. Only an hour later Pounding filled the room. "HEEEEEEROOOO!!! You're father would like to speak to us in the main dinning hall." Relena said...or rather screamed. Duo jumped in his sleep and started growling. His grip on Heero tightened painfully.
"I hate that girl with a passion..." Heero growled.
"You are not the only one." Duo growled out, pushing Heero out of the bed with his foot. "Go do your princely duties." Duo said, thinking it was that easy to get ride of Heero so he could sleep. If only he knew.
"I'll be right back" Heero got up from the floor and locked the door behind himself.
Duo mumbled something and pulled the covers over his head. Relena greeted Heero outside with a smile and grabbed onto his arm. Heero Allowed Relena to pull him down the hall. "So I have the whole day planned out for us, a picnic and a day on the town, then we can spend the night together really getting to know each other." Relena said, rubbing herself on Heero, trying to be seductive.
"I have plans with a prince from a neighboring country." Heero said the first thing that came to his mind.
"What country...what prince...geez Heero it's a prince, he'll get over it, I'm a princess, obviously more important that a prince. Geez. Well your father said it was okay, so your friend can just come back another time." She said, snobbishly.
"He's from Eltwo" Heero said the name of the kingdom that was the farthest away he could think of and one that no one knew a thing about.
"That is not fair, I was here first." She whined.
"I don't want to offend him and start a war Relena" Heero said coldly.
Relena huffed and walked away. 'Then there's no point in talking to your father I just made it up to get you out of bed." He said her nose in the air.
"HN" Heero growled and went back to his room.
Duo groaned as he hear the door open and pulled a pillow over his head. "You're too loud." He complained.
"Sorry." Heero whispered and put the candles on the other side of the room out and made his way to the bed putting all but one out.
Duo lifted the covers for him and waited for the boy to climb in before wrapping him up in them close. Duo started nibbling on Heero's neck his teeth nipping at him, but not sinking in. He's body went limp as he fell back asleep, mumbling something about incredibly loud females that deserved to die.
Heero did not say a thing, he just let the Vampire do as he wished but he did reach over and put out the last candle.
Another hour passed before Mairemaia opened the door. "Heero, get up sleepy. I need to clean your room." She said opening the curtains. Duo was safe as the covers covered him completely, and the pillow was still over his head.
"Don't worry about it" Heero held the blanket over Duo.
"Oh, you make me so mad some times. Just because Relena is here doesn't mean you get to stay in bed. Now get up before I go get you're Father." Mairemaia threatened. Pulling at the covers.
"I'll be out in a minute give me a second to make myself descent." Heero growled.
The small maid huffed and walked out of the room, slamming the door.
"We have to leave the room." Heero put his hand on Duo's shoulder. "The curtains are open, don't remove the blanket.
Duo sighed and keeping the blanket pulled over himself he grabbed Heero's chin and made him look at him. "I will have my payback." He growled, but there was a seductive smile on his face.
Heero blushed and got up. He pulled a secret passage open that was in the wall by his bed. "Come this way"
Duo gracefully walked into the passage and turned to Heero.
"I left my cloak on your chair." He said.
Heero took the blanket from him as he entered the shadows and put it back on the bed. He grabbed the cloak and went back to the secret passage. He called to the maid and closed the wall before she entered.
Duo put the cloak on covering his slim body, that was dressed his tight black pants and a loose white shirt. He put on tight black gloves and pulled his hood over his head. "Okay." He said, ready to face the word during it's hell hours as he called them.
"If we run into any one you are a prince from Eltwo." Heero walked through the passage and in to the music room and opened the wall a crake. Finding no on in there he opened it and closed the curtains in the room.
Duo sat down in a chair and looked around the room. "Can you play anything?" He asked, looking at the instruments.
"What one would you like to hear?" Heero asked.
Duo looked around the room again and pointed to the piano. "That one."
Heero nodded and sat down at it and began to play. Duo listened with a smile on his face. He closed his eyes letting the music over take him. He drifted into a light sleep. His face relaxed into peacefulness. Heero's song changed to a death march as Relena entered the room. Even though Duo was awake he left his eyes close. "Heero, why are you playing in here in the dark?" Relena laughed, though she was still mad at Heero, she completely ignored the man in the chair.
"I have a head ach, the light was hurting my eyes." He growled. "Do you have any requests?" He asked Duo.
"Why are you asking him he's asleep." Relena said glaring at the hooded figure. Duo stood up and walked over towards Heero, surprising Relena. He sat down on the piano bench and started playing a song that was well over three hundred years old, playing it with his eyes closed. His gloved figures working gracefully over the keys.
"That's nice." Heero got up and picked up a violin and played along. Duo smiled, making sure to keep his teeth hidden. There was a suddenly loud screeching noise as Relena had picked up a lute and had tried to play. Duo was in front of her in a moment. "What is it with your obsession with ruining such beautiful things." He growled out. One hand on Relena's wrist and the other with the lute held high. "Can't you leave us in peace?" He said tossing her towards the door. Relena fell to the ground crying. She took off out of the room. "She squeals like a bore." Duo spat out and walked out of the room, his hood covering his features, tossing the lute away from him. Heero set the violin down and caught up with Duo.
"I hate this place." He growled out pulled away from Heero and heading back towards Heero's room.
"Do you see now?" Heero asked, not knowing if he should follow or not.
"Have you made you're choice?" Duo asked stopping in his steps. "I'm leaving as soon as the sun goes down." He continued into Heero's room, closing the door.
"I did before you left that night." Heero took it as Duo not wanting him near by and kept walking past his room. Relena glared and followed Heero down the hall. Hearing everything the two where taking about.
"What do you want?" Heero asked.
"Why is he really here?" She asked keeping her distance
