"Hey Millie, they're in here."

The other boy turned around and started to run towards his friend. As they entered the room the floor shook and window shattered into millions of tiny glass snowflakes. All four children pulled up their arms to protect themselves from the razor sharp crystals.
Four pairs of eyes looked up and saw the sky outside growing dark. Think black clouds swirled around the palace grounds sending lightning crashing to the ground. A bolt of light struck the cherry tree outside, tearing it to shreds and sending slivers and petals hurling into the strong winds. Large drops of rain began to fall, painting the surroundings with dark splotches.

"Treize, you grab Dorathy and follow me. I know where we can wait the storm out."

The taller boy nodded and grabs his sister's hand while his friend did the same with his sister. Together the two pairs of siblings raced out of the room and down the hall. As they ran, their foot steps echoed in the hollow pathways. Behind them a bolt of lightning tore through the wall, sending vases smashing to the floor and tearing canvas from it's frame.

A shard of glass cut at Relena's skirt covered leg, causing her to stumble and fall onto the hardwood floor.
A thin trickle of blood stained her white dress pink and then red. Before she could ask the others to wait for her she found herself in her brother's arms, being carried down the hall with Treize and Dorathy not far behind.

"This is it. Help me open the door, its stuck."

The small hands of the children found a hold on the large brass door handle. With all their might they pulled, causing the large door to swing open. The foursome fell back from the doorway as flames licked at them from the room. Smoke clogged their lungs and made their eyes water. Relena found herself once again in her brother's arms racing down the hallways with danger at their back.

"We need to get outside. There is an underground storm shelter there. I bet our parents are already there."

The tiring children hurried to find the nearest exit. Throwing the doors open, they rushed into the wind swept garden and onto the path to the shelter. Flowers were ripped form the ground and flung through the air. The crushed petals stained the walkway before them as the rain washed the colors off the path.

They stopped in their tracks as they looked at the sky. White feathered wings clashed against the black bat like wings of the other creature. A brown haired angel flapped it's arched wings in the air, causing it's tunic to wave and move in the wind created. The long rope belt wrapped itself about the boy's frame as the wind pulled at it with it's might. In his hand was a long softly glowing sword. The blade reflected a world unlike the one it was in. Soft downy feathers floated past green trees and white clouds. A picture of peace and tranquility not expected on a weapon of destruction. The sharp tip of the sword was pointed directly at the beast shaped shadow.

The angel struck at a large black entity with a sword. The white wings contrasted with the darkness of the cloudy sky as it combated with the evil darkness. Red eyes spotted the children and the creature flung a blast of light at the children. As if on instinct Millardo flung himself in front of the blast, thus protecting his sister and friends. The other tree blocked the blinding light from their eyes and when it had gone, they saw the blonde boy knelling on the ground before he fell into the moist earths embrace. Relena ran to him, shaking his shoulder to but was unable to awaken the barely breathing boy.

Above them the angel raged and with one last swing of his sword cut the demon in half. Unwilling to go down alone it thrust it's hand into the angels chest and caused it to fall to the ground. Supporting it's bleeding frame with is sword the angel covered itself in it's wings before a last blast of energy was sent hurling from the palm of the demon's hand. As it struck the angel glowed brightly and was no longer alive, but instead one among the statues of the manor.

The black creature turned to a hazy smoke. Before it completely disappeared to nothingness a wisps of the black smoke floated on the air. As it did the blonde awoke and was helped to his feet by his sister. Together they made their way down the drive as the sun found it's way through the clouds.

"We made it to town and were cared for until we were informed of our parents demise. Dorathy and I lived with our aunt while the Peacecrafts went to the Dorlins household."

Everyone sat quietly as the absorbed the tale. Duo felt a shiver run down Heero's spine as the story ended. That angel must have been Heero. It explained why he was a statue when they met, but why did he change back, and had he fought a demonic creature? DUo quickly put questions aside for later as he stroked his love's back in attempt to calm his tremors.

The violet eyed boy looked around to see all eyes on him and the precious bundle shaking in his arms. He continued to try to calm the trembling boy as he awaited his friends to speak their minds. It was Quatre who spoke up first.

"Duo, do you think that the fighting angel they remember could be Heero? It makes sense. Is he alright, I don't understand all of the feeling coming from him. Fear, worry, doubt, loss, courage, and so much else. Heero are you okay?"

Miniutes passed and finally the tremors subsided and Heero's inner turmoil calmed. Sitting up, the boy grasped his lover's hand as if to make sure it was real and not his imagination.

"I'm fine. I just started to see so many images. Memories I think. A lot of things are starting to make sense now."

Duo brought their hands to his lips before he kissed the slender fingers of his japanese love. With his other arm he embraced the boy and held him close to his heart. Heero sat up but kept the other's hand tight in his own.
