T.D.K.- Yo! Sorry for the wait. School's back and I had a little trouble with people's cooperation -stares at Heero- and I got grounded for my school stuff.

Heero- What're you lookin at?

Duo- You better be sorry! I've been waiting. -mutters- To think you'd make your muse wait.

T.D.K.- Who siad you were my muse? I own nothing but Meg. This is the last chapter and the POV changes. I'm not useing the journals 'till the end. Oh, blod italics are thoughts.

Heero and Megan were the first to get to the castle. Since she was younger, Meg was forced to be the lookout. She sat on the rampart and was extrmely bored.

'Remind me again why I have to be the lookout.' She yelled, hopeing Heero would answer her.

'Your eyes are better than mine.'

'That's bull and you know it! Did you really think I'd believe that?'

'If I told you, I'd be insulting you. I don't want to do that.' She rolled her eyes and huffed. Quickly, Megan's head jerked toward the road. Her ears had picked up the sound of very familar voices. They're here! she thought.

'Duo, are you sure we're going the right way? I mean we haven't seen anyone since we left that village.'

'Trowa, for the billionith time, we are going the right way. I know the castle's not far. I can feel Heero and he's not far away. Hey, Meg!' She waved and smiled, then that smile was gone. She saw a certain light brunette walking with them.

'Duo, what the hell is she doing here?! I thought you wouldn't let her tag along any further! Brother, she came too!' Megan jumped from the rampart, landing on her feet, and running for the castle's ruins.

She ran down a bunch of stairs to the celler. Heero sat on a box, one leg bent and the other hanging off the edge. He watched his sister as she caught her breath. She held up a finger, still breatheing hard.

'Problem, Sis?' He asked, hoping she wasn't going to say there was a certian god of death in the chapel.

'Relenia came too! That little spoiled-'

'Duo?'

'He's out there too. Didn't you hear me yelling?'

'No. I was starting to doze off. I'm pretty tired.' The younger royal turned to go back up the stairs. 'Will you tell Duo I'm down here?' Yeah, right, she thought, I'll save him the trouble of having to come down all those damn stairs and back up.

'Would you like him to be worn out when he got down here? There's a lot of stairs to climb, you know.' Heero grinned at his sister. 'Get your head outta the damn gutter! That's not how a prince is supposed to act! What would Father think?!'

He snorted, 'What would he think if he heard his baby girl cussing like, what are they again, hookers?'

'Yeah, right. You keep telling yourself that. Father'd have a feild day with you.' She walked up the stairs, not listening to her brother.

-----------------------------------------------

Duo wondered around the over run and weed infested gardens. He liked the silence, it was different from what he knew. The castle's silence was peaceful. You couldn't tell when it would get disturbed, unlike outside the castle.

'I remember walking here with Heero. I think Meg would watch us.' He looked around and saw the chapel. It was in an even worse state now than it had been. 'I wonder if my old self is dust by now.' Duo climbed around fallen stones and beams.

An old wooden coffin sat on top the alter. The wood was rotten and falling into pieces. He hesitated for a moment before continueing. He was only a few steps away from his coffin when someone entered.

'You know, Duo, if you look at your former body, you'd die instantly.' Shinigami watched his human self spin around. He was stunned, he'd forgotten how much alike they looked. The god twirled a piece of his long black hair, while Duo fiddled with the end of his braid.

'So, um, you're me, right?'

'No. You are me in a human form, well, part of me. I did something I shouldn't have done and I was split in two as punishment. Your lover and his sister's salvation are ours as well.' The divine smiled sadly. 'I miss him. I miss my Gawaine.'

'Who's Gawaine?'

'My own lover. I miss him so much.' Shinigami's eyes grew blurry. 'He's the something I shouldn't have done, but I love him so much.'

'What'll happen to us? If you get forgiven, wouldn't I be rejoined with you? Wouldn't I cease to be?'

'I don't know. I'm not Lady Fate. It's her choice if we stay like this or not. She's the one who sent me to make the deal in the frist place. See the Christian God is her son, and he hated the idea that she made me and Gawiane lovers, so he punished us. He sent my love to a place here on Earth and had him sealed away. I had to go through the pain of being split.'

'That's how I came to be, right?,' Shinigami nodded, 'Why did I die? I get the human motives, but after hearing your story, there has got to be another reason.'

'I went to Lady Fate immedately after I heard of your death. I wasn't prepared to take myself to the other side. She was furious and ranting about how if her son disobeyed her agian, she'd do something. She noticed me and told me that you fell for a prince and vice versa. For some reason that got God mad. I don't know why.'

As Shini was talking, an idea hit Duo. One of his past memories came to him. 'The alter! Shini, Gawaine's in the alter!'

'Wha?!'

'The alter! Meg told me once that the first preist here was burried in the alter. She siad it was centuries ago, and that it was used as a way to keep people from messing around with the building. What if He put Gawaine in the alter!?' The God of Death stared at him, stunned.

'This whole time the anwser has been right under my nose! I never noticed the alter.'

'I'll get Heero! He can help us get Gawaine out of the alter!' Duo yelled, running out to get his lover.

Heero stood before the alter, carefully moving the rotten coffin with Megan. They sat it down behind the alter. Duo, Shingami, and everyone else crowded around the alter. Shini smiled and layed his hand on the glass cover. 'Found you, Love.' He softly whispered.

'How are we going to get him out?'

'How old is this glass?' Quatre asked. 'If it hasn't been reinforced then we can break it with something heavy.'

'About 11-12 hundred years.' Heero replied, looking around. He grabbed a fallen beam. 'What are you doing?' Relina asked. 'What does it look like?! I'm going to break the glass!' He swung the beam, breaking the glass instantly.

Gawaine's eyes opened slowly, revealing the same color as Heero's. 'Shini?' The angel siad, sitting up. His hair was bright snowy white and his skin was very pale. The Death deitiy ran into the angel's arms burring his face in the other's chest.

'Thanks, my prince.' Duo whispered. Heero wrapped him in his arms, the two a mimic of the other pair.

'NO! THIS IS NOT SUPPOSED TO HAPPEN!!' Someone roared. Gawaine and Heero's grip tightened on their loves. 'YOUR PUNISHMENT LASTS FOR ALL ETURNITY!!!'

'OH, QUIT YOUR HOWLING! YOU SHOULD KNOW BETTER THAN TO DISOBEY YOUR OWN MOTHER! Another voice roared as figures appeared flating in the chapel. One was a woman with hair that changed from sliver to midnight black. She was beautiful. The other figure was male, but could've been female too. It wore a white hooded cape with the hood pulled over its face. Black hair fell to the figure's waist and bound at the ends.

'THEY ARE MY CREATIONS! I DECIDE WHO THEY MATE WITH!'

'REALLY?! WHY DON'T YOU DECIDE THE FATE OF EVERYTHING ELSE? WAIT, YOU CAN'T BECAUSE YOUR GRANDFATHER WOULD HAVE A FIT.'

'DON'T YOU DARE BRING GRANDFATHER INTO THIS!'

'Sorry, my son and I are still disagreeing about you two. Well, I do believe there are some deals to be dealt with. Princess Megan Yuy, you are to be released from an immortal life. Prince Heero Yuy, you have to make your choice: Stay a vampire or return to being human and live out your life. One will keep you dammed the other will save all five of you.' The woman-Fate-siad. 'What is your choice?'

'I chose to be human agian. I want to be with Duo 24/7.'

'That settles that. Shini, Son, revoke your deals and leave them alone.' Grumboling the other figure-God-snapped his fingers, but he stopped. 'Mother, if I revoke my deal with the princess, she'll die instantly.'

'No, she won't.' Megan stepped up to the two's feet. She looked back at Heero, a sad smile on her face. She slowly mothed, 'Forgive me, my beloved brother.'

'If it will make a difference, I wouldn't mind dieing. My own lover's already dead and he's waiting for me. I'd like to be with him now that I know my brother's happy agian.' God nodded and snapped his fingers. Megan fell to the floor. Everyone, but Relina, rushed to the former doctor's side. Her brother sat her head in his lap.

'Meg, why?' She smiled up at him, her eyes sliding shut. 'Why did she want to die?'

'She fell in love a during the Romantic period. I don't know a lot about him, but they loved each other. He was the only person she herself ever told about her life. That's all I know.' Shinigami siad.

'The man was a gothic-style writer. She became his muse and they were never a part if they could avoid being seperated. When she told him she thought he'd throw her out or call her monster. Megan started crying and he held her, telling her that he'd never leave her and that he'd wait for her.'

June 15, 2022- My name is Meria Yuy. I'm Heero and Duo's daughter. Since Dad's part of the Shinigami he was able to create me from their DNA. I was kept in a black egg until I was born. Papa tells me that I looked exactly like my aunt when she was born. I'm almost 15. Quatre helped me get all this together. The page I'm writting this on is the last in Dad's diary. For some reason I wanted to re-tell the story of my parents, aunt, and their friends.

I asked Dad and Papa how they felt earlier. They both agreed that they couldn't believe it's been 15 years since...

Shinigami and Gawaine visit from time to time. They're both very happy. I guess that's it.

Oh, Aunt Meg's lover's last name was Van Helsing.

Meria 'Meg' Yuy- 15 June, 2022

T.D.K- Sorry for the delay. This is, saddly the end.

Duo- You killed Megan off!!! -wails-

Heero- S'o.k, Duo.

T.D.K- If you haven't read Dracula, then you should or at least watch the movie. The one from '92. That's my fave.
