Duo slammed on the brakes as they reached their destination: Relena's mansion. Duo and Trowa jumped out, running through the entrance doors. Duo took out his flashlight, and looked around.
"Looks like he made quick work on these security guards," Trowa observed.
"Really," Duo squeaked.
They stepped over the bodies and went upstairs as quietly as they could. They stopped once they heard a creaking from above.
"It sounds like someone's on the roof," Trowa said quietly.
"But who?" Duo asked.
They silenced themselves once they heard a muffled voice from above-
"Somebody....help me..."
"It's Relena!" Duo cried, "We have to get to her before Heero does!"
"Let's move it," Trowa said, "she has a balcony in her room. We'll start from there."
"Sure," Duo followed him.
They walked as quickly, yet as silently as they could. They found themselves closing in on Relena's room, but stopped once they saw someone on the floor. Duo shone his flashlight on it.
"Turn him over, I can't see his face," Duo said.
Overcoming his disgust, Trowa proceeded to turn the figure over, but stopped once he had a good look.
"Trowa, what is it? I can't see his face..." Duo asked.
Trowa's eyes widened with terror, and did something he never did before: screamed.
"QUATRE!!!!" He screamed, "QUATRE!!!"
"What the hell-" Duo turned the figure over, and covered his mouth. Quatre was transformed into a human dummy, his face and neck were oozing with blood, his eyes all white.
"HEERO!!" Duo screamed, "YOU'RE GOING TO PAY FOR THIS!!"
~~~~~~
Relena shivered as she felt droplets of rain hit her skin. She noticed a window, and crawled towards it. Opening it, she looked inside to make sure it was empty. It was completely vacant. Sighing, she slid inside and shut the window.
"Safe...for the moment," she whispered as she leaned agaisnt the window. Without warning, a hand crashed through the window and grabbed her head.
"STO-" Another hand covered her mouth. Heero's smirking face appeared in front of her own.
"Very careless not to look back," Heero said, "I told you a piece of wood wouldn't keep me away from you."
He pulled her face closer, and observed her neck. He grabbed her by the shoulders and pulled her back onto the roof. Relena pushed him away and attempted to run- or crawl- away, but Heero's hand reached out and grabbed her arms. With ease, he pinned her down.
"I can't picture an escape this time," Heero smirked, and bent towards her neck once again. Relena squeezed her eyes shut, anticipating the pain. She let out a yelp when she felt his breath on her skin...
"STOP! STOP IT!" A voice screamed.
Heero looked up, noticing an enraged Duo standing about ten feet away from him, a gun pointed at him. Heero cursed his foolishness; how could he not see him? Heero picked Relena up and stood next to her, placing his arm around her neck in a threatening manner.
"Duo, help me," Relena gasped.
"Don't worry, Relena, everything will be fine," Duo said as he clicked the safety off of his gun.
"Are you going to shoot me, Duo?" Heero asked.
"What the hell did you do to Quatre?" Duo demanded.
"He was in my way," Heero said.
"Let me go!" Relena cried.
Heero held her tighter, smirking at Duo.
"I..I can't let you go unpunished for that..." Duo stuttered slightly, "I...I have to do it."
"Are you really going to shoot your best friend, Duo?" Heero asked menacingly.
"My best friend died the second he was injected with that horrible drug," Duo said, "Heero's dead...you're just a sick bastard that's replaced him!"
"What on Earth is going on?" Relena asked.
"Let her go," Duo repeated.
"Not before I get what I want, however," Heero said as he shot at her neck, teeth bared.
"Stop!" Trowa slammed his gun on Heero's neck. Heero fell to the ground for a second, Relena jumped away from his grasp.
"Stay behind me," Duo said softly.
"DAMN YOU!" Heero lunged at Trowa. Trowa took his gun and shot at Heero. Heero's body went backwards as he felt a pain and impact in hist chest.
"You shot me..." he said.
"I'll keep doing it until you're dead," Trowa said as he let another bullet loose. Heero's chest and stomach was burning. Blood dripped onto the roofs surface.
"I'll kill you," Heero whispered, "I'll turn you into a dummy...just like Quatre."
Trowa spent his entire clip on Heero's chest. Heero slumped to the ground, a pool of blood surrounded him.
"Doesn't seem like the bullets are the doing the job," Heero spat out some blood, and stood up again. Trowa backed away slowly.
"You're a dead man," Heero hissed.
Duo looked around, noticing a statue of the Cross on the roof. He noticed its sharp edge, and got an idea.
"God, forgive me," Duo said as he yanked the Cross off, holding its pointed side at Heero.
Heero ran at Trowa, his arms stretched out.
"HEERO!" Duo screamed as he charged at him. Heero turned around, his eyes widening.
Relena covered her eyes, unable to watch. Duo ran faster at him, Heero stood still, surprised.
"ARrrrrrrrrrrrgggggggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!!" Duo's screams echoed as he thrusted the sharp edge of the Cross through Heero's chest; through his heart. Heero's red eyes vanished, and his fangs disappeared, blood splattered over Duo's face. Heero fell to the ground, but he was still alive. Something was different, though. His prussian blue eyes were back. Duo looked down at him, as did Trowa.
"...Duo..." Heero said simply.
"Impossible...has the drug wore off...?" Duo asked.
"He's dying," Trowa said softly, "its killing off the drug."
"Trowa, take care of Relena, I'll take care of Heero," Duo said softly.
Trowa nodded. Duo kneeled down next to Heero. He noticed something running down his cheeks. Tears.
"Duo..." He squeaked.
"What is it?" Duo asked.
"....Quatre...I'm so sorry about Quatre...I-I didn't mean-" Another tear trickled down his cheek.
"Shhh," Duo whispered, "It wasn't your fault...it was the drug..."
"Tell Relena...tell her that I didn't mean to hurt her-" Another tear streamed down his cheek, and then another.
"Tell her I'm sorry-" He let out a choked sob, "...t-t-tell her I'm sorry about everything..."
Duo said nothing as the rain began to pour, washing some of Heero's blood away.
"I will," he said finally, "I will."
Heero smiled weakly, then closed his eyes...
"Heero! Heero!" He cried.
~~~~~~~~~~~
"Heero! Heero, wake up!"
Heero rubbed his eyes, noticing Duo standing in front of him.
"What are you doing here?" He snapped.
"I came over and asked if you wanted to go to Friendly's with Wufei, Quatre, Trowa, and I," Duo smiled, "I woke you up because you seemed to be having a nasty nightmare. You were mumbling stuff about vampires and everything. You okay?"
Then, it hit him. Was it a dream? Heero jumped out of bed and ran into the bathroom, he had a reflection. The fangs were gone. His eyes were prussian blue. His skin was warm. He felt...great.
"It was all a dream..."
He got out of the bathroom, walking towards Duo.
"Where are you eating again?" Heero asked.
"Friendly's," Duo grinned.
Heero shoved Duo out of the door, "I'll pass this time."
THE END.
