GW/Slayers/Chinese story
Chapter Two:
Wheels of Fates are Turning
BY: Ryomi
It's been one week since Duo and WuFei, the traveling warrior, and sorcerer have been together to find the Heaven Knife and Destiny Sword. In that week they have gotten to know each other better, and understand each other more. However, little arguments are always here and there...
"NO DUO!! I DON'T think putting the TRUTH POTION in our DINNER was a good idea!!!" The normally quiet raven haired sorcerer screamed as he looked at the empty potion bottle, and half eaten dinner.
"It was a mistake I didn't know that was the truth potion, you said to add water and I thought that was just a small bottle of water... Hey, look at the bright side Wu-chan, we can get to know each other better, and I now know that you can talk as much as a normal person." Duo knows that personally he also had certain things to hide, but he figured WuFei had antidote, so he didn't worry.
WuFei looked at Duo's smile and signed, "I really don't know what to say to you Duo, I guess the best to say is I'm NEVER letting you near my potions EVER again." With that he dug into his pouch where he keep all the substance to be used for magic. After searching for a while, he found what he was looking for. It was a small round green bottle with a small opening which was closed by a black cap. Carefully, WuFei removed the cap and gently taped the opening on his palm, soon a very small green colored pile fell out, followed by a second. As soon as WuFei got the piles, he put the cap back before putting the bottle back into his pouch.
"Here," The raven haired young man said as he handed his company one of the piles, "Take this and go to sleep. It'll take a while for the antidote to work, so I'm going for a walk, don't wait up." With that the young sorcerer stood up and left.
Duo looked at WuFei with pained eyes as he walked away, he's been with the other boy for one week now, but to say the truth, he still don't know much about the boy. The beautiful raven haired sorcerer was always somewhat cold and distant. When ever Duo tries to get closer to the other boy, he immediate goes silent, heck, WuFei was always silent. Almost as if he as some kind of invisible wall protecting him and nothing can get though.
However, Duo didn't give up, he continued to try to get an response. And now he has found a way to get WuFei to show some emotion, but not the kind he was hoping for. Whenever, he messes with the sorcerer's spell books or his potions, WuFei would get mad enough to yell at him or say something at least. But that was not fun for him or WuFei.
After meeting the small sorcerer, Duo had felt an strange attraction towards the other boy, there is just something that drawn him to the raven haired youth. Even though there are times where the boy was incredibly cold, there are also times where he would show the true WuFei, the young boy that smiles. It was those rare small and beautiful smiles that made Duo truly see the boy. It made him realize that he wanted the boy, desired for him, needed him, but that's not all. This was like none of his other crashes, he didn't just want the other boy for his looks, he wanted to get close to the sorcerer, he wanted to know the boy beneath that mask. He wanted to love WuFei.
However, WuFei's rejections were not the only problem. Duo's heart bleeds silently each time he is alone, not only because of WuFei's silent rejection, but also from the fact, everyone that had loved him in his life died of one cost or another. Bitter pain welled up in his chest as he thought about his past. Duo felt his heart froze at the mere thought about losing WuFei the same way. He could not risk it, but could he stand not having him either?
***WuFei***
WuFei did took the walk he said he would, he reached a small lake just ahead, and sat down under a big tree just beside the lake. He put his arms around his knees and pulled them up to his chest, his head rested against the kneecaps as he stared across the lake. The weather tonight was quite well, soft breath of summer careless his hair, cool, but not uncomfortable. Stars were extra bright that day, sparking down on him. The moon light reflecting on the small lake. It was a beautiful night. Just the kind of night WuFei use to love.
However, the beauty of the night was having almost no effect on him today, as it didn't have any effect on him ever since he started on this journey. Forced upon this journey. No matter where he is, the dark shadow of his past would always catch up with him, making everything he sees seemed lifeless and gloomy.
WuFei tilted his head and looked to the direction where he came from...where Duo was. It's be so long since he's had actually stayed with some company, and TALKED to anyone. Since his life took *that* turn, he barely said a word to anyone. However, Duo was different, something about the other boy that no matter what WuFei do, he can't ignore him. As much as he wants to sometimes, but he just can't. He also know that he was having some strange thoughts about the other teen. Sometimes, he secretly wish that he could let himself get closer to the Duo, without holding back, without fear, without the shadows of his past... Show Duo, the real WuFei, the one that cares...
Why did Duo follow him of all people? And why did he let him for that matter? What would Duo do if he found out his failure past? What would he passably think of WuFei then?
[Probably leave, and never return.] WuFei thought bitterly as he pulled his knees closer to his chest. Tears of pain, guilt, sorrow blurred his version. The normally comforting light from the stars now seems to be cruel, unmerciful eyes staring at him. Unwrapping himself from the ball he unconsciously curled into, WuFei slowly rose to his feet. Looking down, he saw the twin green colored crystals blinking up at him from his wrists as he lifted his hands. [The talismans.] More tears gathered as he fingered the ones around his nick and waist. [Why was I chosen...?] The only answer was the soft rustle of leaves as the wind blew again.
***Another week later***
Duo stirred as the sound of different objects cling against each other. [Wu-chan...?] Opening one groggy violet eye he looked across from his camping spot. There was WuFei, packing up everything for the rode. Near his sleeping bag was a plate of still hot food. WuFei must have prepared that, he noted. Normally, he would have ate it as soon as he was up, but today he didn't seem to have the appetite.
Duo got up from his own sleeping bag, and started to gather his own things, and surprisingly didn't say a word while he was at it. After gathering all his things, he stood up and looked at WuFei.
WuFei looked surprised at Duo, his unusual quietness was worrying him. After a few more second his worry grow and he couldn't take it anymore. WuFei decided to do something very unusual of him, but he didn't care. WuFei tried to start an conversation. "Duo, why...why don't you eat your breakfast, I'll finish packing."
Duo looked surprised at WuFei, [Was it just me or did he seemed to actually care?] but soon he dismissed his thought. [No, not possible, WuFei always have been icy, why would today be any different?] Duo's tormented heart was not given any rest through out these several days. No matter what he does, it just doesn't work. Not only does WuFei always keeps his distance. He also seems to be keeping Duo for certain purposes only, using him as an object for his journey, but not as a companion. Especially, these three days, WuFei didn't say more than three words to him a day. "I'm not that hungry, WuFei."
"Oh..." WuFei lowered his eye and looked at the ground. Duo's words were cold, in a way he's never heard before, but it was not unexpected. Three days ago, he had gotten some new details about the Heaven Knife and Destiny Sword, ever since then he has been ignoring Duo greatly. Heck, he have always ignored Duo a lot, but last three days had been the worst. He tried to ignore the hurt look on Duo's face whenever he yells at him for trying to get his attention, or just to try to talk to him. It pained himself for doing this, but to find the two items was too important to neglect. [He's going to leave... I just know it, who would want to say with me anyway...]
[That would be your own fault, after what you put him through, using him like a tool. What in the world have you become WuFei? Ever since you started this journey you've become so cold-hearted.] One part of his mind told him.
[I know... I'm always so weak... useless... Duo would be much better without me...] Mind made up WuFei decided to cut off any regrets for the moment and do what was best for Duo. He can always cry later, after all he's been hiding pain all his life, and he's already lost almost everyone, it won't cost him too much harm to lose another. However, the pain in his chest told him otherwise, but he reminded himself. [Duo deserve better. Better hurting him a little now, then let him stay with me and hurt him a lot later.]
"Duo..." Seem he has captured Duo's attention, WuFei forced the word out. "I... I think we sh..should part ways..."
Duo's eyes widened in shock, pain, and anger, [I knew it! How could I have been such a fool! I should have known better then think he would want me with him! Even so, why didn't he say any thing to me before, why did he let me stay by his side for so long...unless he...] Duo's heart ached, it had hurt to breath. [How could you WuFei...]
WuFei felt his own heart break as he saw the expression on Duo's face, it was filed with pain. The large bright and expressive violet eyes that were normally filled happiness were filled with pain, anger, and betrayal. Closing his own eyes, unable to face Duo's pain stricken face, he kept one thought in mind. [Duo deserves better...] Managing to get a grip on himself, WuFei forced out weakly, "D...Duo, it..it's for the best." tears were threatening to fall.
"BEST MY ASS!!!" Duo's sudden outburst made WuFei's head shot up, "YOU FUCKING USED ME!! NOW THAT YOU HAVE NO USE OF ME YOU ARE JUST GOING TO TOSS ME ASIDE!!!"
WuFei's heart was hurting so much from the accusation that he couldn't breath and felt faint. [Nononononononono, no! That's not true!]
"YOU DON'T WANT ME AROUND?!?! FINE!! I LOVE TO LEAVE!!!" with that Duo grabbed his belongings and stomped away. But his eyes were filled with tears.
***In the shadows***
The creature of the dark that have been watching the two heaven children ever since their union, smirked at the turn of wheels of fate. "The plan worked..." The cruel inhuman voice whispered, "Now to finish the job..." The creature lifted one bony glove covered hand and a dark shadow started to form beneath it. "Dark shadow of night, beholder of painful deaths, I command you to poison the Child of Light, the one they called the Dragon Child." With that the Shadow seemed to bow to the creature before disappearing.
"With the Child of Light gone, I will be able to take over what I wish."
***Back to Duo and WuFei***
WuFei turned his head away to look at something...anything other then Duo, his heart has never known such pain. Why does it hurt so much? He's already been through so much, he should be use to pain and heartache now, but why does he feel like he was being ripped apart, suddenly something caught his eye. It was the plate of food... Duo's plate of food...
***Flashback***
Duo and WuFei were sitting together and WuFei was cooking.
"Wow! The food should smells so good! When is it going to be finished, WuFei?" Duo looked at the mouth watering food with huge eyes.
"*sign* In a second Duo, you wouldn't die if you don't eat this meal..." WuFei tried to act as if he was incredibly annoying, but the look on Duo's face was so hilarious that he couldn't help himself to a small smile.
"Yes!! Yes, I will die!! I'm a growing boy!! I need to eat!!" Duo screamed in a overly dramatic voice. In his mind he smirked seeing WuFei's small smile, [I wish he would smile more,] Duo silently thought to himself, [he looks so cute when he does.]
WuFei shocked his head as he stretched out his hand in order to check the food, not paying much attention as he should, WuFei opened the cap of the cooking pot. It was then, when he realize never open a cap of a boiling soup pot when it doesn't prevent heat, and the cap is the same temperature as the soup.
"Aaahhh!!" With a loud shriek, the cap went flying as WuFei clenched his injured hand.
"WuFei!" Duo cried in surprise as the raven haired sorcerer screamed, out of nowhere an protective instinct took over as he saw the smaller teen injured. His hand shot out and grabbed the slender hand of the other youth, pulling him into his arms as he looked around to see if he could find some cool water to deal with the burn, but there was none. Seeing that the delicate skin of WuFei's hand was now all red and puffy. Without thinking Duo bought WuFei's hand near his lips and blow cool air on it tried to take away the pain.
WuFei bit his lips in pain, [Oh, dear god that was so clumsy of me!] suddenly he felt Duo's hand over his, and the next thing he know he was pulled into Duo's laps. WuFei's heart speed up as he felt a strange feeling taking over, his body felt warm and safe. It was so comfortable and he felt a strange warmth in his chest, it was almost as if he was somehow...completed. This has never happen to him before, and he didn't know what to deal with it. Pain almost forgotten, WuFei looked at the other teen hoping to find some answer.
After a while, Duo snapped out of his daze and turned his head to look at WuFei. Turning his head, He gazed right into those large deep brown eye, the same eyes he has been admiring for days, the beautiful eye that showed so much emotions. Drowning in those lovely deep brown orbs Duo did nothing as he sat there holding WuFei's hand. [WuFei...]
WuFei felt his face heat up as Duo turned his gaze to look at him, 'eyes are the windows to the soul', it was an old saying he has heard many times before, but it seemed as if for the first time in his life he understood the meaning. Soft violet orbs looked at him in the eye with care, giving him warmth, while looking into his very been, his soul. [Duo...]
"Wu...Wu-chan are...are you alright?"
"Y...Yes...I'm Ok..."
***end of flashback***
[That was the first time I started to let him used that nickname...Duo...] WuFei didn't care anymore, he couldn't let Duo leave thinking he used him, even if he was telling him to leave, he has to explain. [Why does he has such affect on you?] one part of his mind asked. [I don't know, but I don't care right now.] With that answer, WuFei twirled and turned to face Duo.
What surprised him was, Duo had also just turned, once again brown orbs met violet orbs...
***Duo***
Duo felt his heart being tore apart as he stepped away from WuFei. [Why...Why did you do that Wu-chan...no, I guess it's just WuFei now...] Suddenly something caught his eyes, a silk, white, handkerchief...WuFei's handkerchief...
***Flashback***
"Duo be careful!! These monsters are of high level!! Fire Ball!!" a huge ball of fire was shot out as a number green skinned zombies reached for WuFei. There was nauseating smell burnt skin, but no sound was made as the zombies fell.
"Damn these things!!" Duo screamed as he did several combined movements with his scythe. Limbs and other body parts of the zombies nearest him hit the ground with a sickening thump. They were just talking a short passage in a forest when they were ambushed by zombies out of nowhere. "How many of them are there?!"
The fight continued on without winners, the zombies just continue to appear out of nowhere, and the two fighters were getting tired. Suddenly the balance changed as a zombie appeared from ground right behind Duo.
"Duo!!!! Look out!!!" WuFei's warning came too late as the attack of the zombie hit it's target.
Duo give loud scream as a incredible pain shot up his right arm, the dagger of the zombie had been embed deeply there. The scythe was dropped on the ground as Duo collapsed on his knees.
WuFei felt his heart froze as he saw Duo's dropped to the ground, face full of pain, the zombies closing with no well intention. "DUO!! NO!!!" frantically WuFei cast a more powerful spell.
"Golden glob of light,
The start of all life,
I call upon thee to punish the ones of darkness!!
GOLDEN BARRIER!!!"
With that a glow of gold blinding everyone's view was made, then the next second, Duo saw that all the zombie with in the spell area totally were vaporized. There was nothing left of them other then dust, and there was a protective bubble around the two of them. Suddenly, a sharp pain once again was felt on his right shoulder, Duo let loud hiss as he turned his head "What the hell?!" It was WuFei, he had pulled the dagger out, and was bandaging his shoulder with a silk white handkerchief.
"I had just cast healing spell, it'll take a while to work. Are you alright? Can you stand?" WuFei, turned to look at him with worry.
Duo felt his heart melt. WuFei was worried, worried for him, no matter for his cold appearance, he still cares. With a small nod, he stood up.
"Good, you just stay behind me. Let me take care of the monsters, we better get out of here fast so I can cast major healing spells on that wound." With that WuFei took out a long fighting knife, and held it in one hand preparing for fighting, while the other one got a hold of Duo's hand ready to lead him out of the forest.
***End of flashback***
No, Duo couldn't do it, he can't leave WuFei with out looking back, without regrets. He needed him, [WuFei, no matter for his cool appearance, I know he still cares somewhat, there must be a reason.] With that Duo turned back and saw WuFei's gaze also turned to him.
"Duo/WuFei..." The two said synonymously.
Just then Duo spotted something, it moving in the shadows right behind WuFei! Suddenly the tip of a weapon was shown. [Shit! An arrow!!] Without thinking, Duo dropped his belongs and dashed towards the young sorcerer, desperate to reach WuFei before the arrow does. Barely making there in time, and didn't have time to push the both of them out of the way, Duo covered WuFei's body with his own shielding him from harm. Bitting his lip from screaming as the pain injected it self in his left shoulder.
"Duo!" WuFei cried out in horror as Duo let go of his hold on his body and slid to the ground. "You bustard!!! Thunder Arrow!!!!" A shot of lighting roamed through the sky and shot down towards where the Arrow came from with a boom. Without checking if the attacker was killed, who probably was since the spell area was all burnt now. WuFei kneeled down next to Duo, tears burred his vision as he saw Duo lying there pale and in pain. "Duo..."
"Wu...Wu-chan, are...are you alright?" Those were the first words out of Duo's mouth.
"Duo, you baka!! Why did you do that?" WuFei yelled as tears fell with out shame.
"G...Glad your...safe..." Duo know that this wound probably won't kill him, but man! It hurts! However, suddenly he felt dizzy, and it was not costed from the pain from the arrow, not only that his vision was blacking out bit by bit now and that would only mean one thing. [Oh crap!] "Wu-chan...I think the...the arrow had poison..." With that the world went black.
"Duo!!"
Be continued...
Ryomi: he he he!! Aren't I evil for stopping there? No one probably care, but that was hard work! Probably not that good, but I worked hard!! I was so busy, I had to do this out of the little time I had free! Next chapter is going to be even worse, because Heero, Quatre, and Trowa makes an appearance, and we gets to see if Duo survives.
Bunny: Now here is where we will beg for comments.
Ryomi: Yes, yes!! Comments please!! *threatening voice* No comments no next chapter!! *sign* then again who would really care about that... But it would still be nice to know what other people think...
Achieve: Yes Please! ^_^

WuFei's heart was hurting so much from the accusation that he couldn't breath and felt faint. [Nononononononono, no! That's not true!]
"YOU DON'T WANT ME AROUND?!?! FINE!! I LOVE TO LEAVE!!!" with that Duo grabbed his belongings and stomped away. But his eyes were filled with tears.
***In the shadows***
The creature of the dark that have been watching the two heaven children ever since their union, smirked at the turn of wheels of fate. "The plan worked..." The cruel inhuman voice whispered, "Now to finish the job..." The creature lifted one bony glove covered hand and a dark shadow started to form beneath it. "Dark shadow of night, beholder of painful deaths, I command you to poison the Child of Light, the one they called the Dragon Child." With that the Shadow seemed to bow to the creature before disappearing.
"With the Child of Light gone, I will be able to take over what I wish."
***Back to Duo and WuFei***
WuFei turned his head away to look at something...anything other then Duo, his heart has never known such pain. Why does it hurt so much? He's already been through so much, he should be use to pain and heartache now, but why does he feel like he was being ripped apart, suddenly something caught his eye. It was the plate of food... Duo's plate of food...
***Flashback***
Duo and WuFei were sitting together and WuFei was cooking.
"Wow! The food should smells so good! When is it going to be finished, WuFei?" Duo looked at the mouth watering food with huge eyes.
"*sign* In a second Duo, you wouldn't die if you don't eat this meal..." WuFei tried to act as if he was incredibly annoying, but the look on Duo's face was so hilarious that he couldn't help himself to a small smile.
"Yes!! Yes, I will die!! I'm a growing boy!! I need to eat!!" Duo screamed in a overly dramatic voice. In his mind he smirked seeing WuFei's small smile, [I wish he would smile more,] Duo silently thought to himself, [he looks so cute when he does.]
WuFei shocked his head as he stretched out his hand in order to check the food, not paying much attention as he should, WuFei opened the cap of the cooking pot. It was then, when he realize never open a cap of a boiling soup pot when it doesn't prevent heat, and the cap is the same temperature as the soup.
"Aaahhh!!" With a loud shriek, the cap went flying as WuFei clenched his injured hand.
"WuFei!" Duo cried in surprise as the raven haired sorcerer screamed, out of nowhere an protective instinct took over as he saw the smaller teen injured. His hand shot out and grabbed the slender hand of the other youth, pulling him into his arms as he looked around to see if he could find some cool water to deal with the burn, but there was none. Seeing that the delicate skin of WuFei's hand was now all red and puffy. Without thinking Duo bought WuFei's hand near his lips and blow cool air on it tried to take away the pain.
WuFei bit his lips in pain, [Oh, dear god that was so clumsy of me!] suddenly he felt Duo's hand over his, and the next thing he know he was pulled into Duo's laps. WuFei's heart speed up as he felt a strange feeling taking over, his body felt warm and safe. It was so comfortable and he felt a strange warmth in his chest, it was almost as if he was somehow...completed. This has never happen to him before, and he didn't know what to deal with it. Pain almost forgotten, WuFei looked at the other teen hoping to find some answer.
After a while, Duo snapped out of his daze and turned his head to look at WuFei. Turning his head, He gazed right into those large deep brown eye, the same eyes he has been admiring for days, the beautiful eye that showed so much emotions. Drowning in those lovely deep brown orbs Duo did nothing as he sat there holding WuFei's hand. [WuFei...]
WuFei felt his face heat up as Duo turned his gaze to look at him, 'eyes are the windows to the soul', it was an old saying he has heard many times before, but it seemed as if for the first time in his life he understood the meaning. Soft violet orbs looked at him in the eye with care, giving him warmth, while looking into his very been, his soul. [Duo...]
"Wu...Wu-chan are...are you alright?"
"Y...Yes...I'm Ok..."
***end of flashback***
[That was the first time I started to let him used that nickname...Duo...] WuFei didn't care anymore, he couldn't let Duo leave thinking he used him, even if he was telling him to leave, he has to explain. [Why does he has such affect on you?] one part of his mind asked. [I don't know, but I don't care right now.] With that answer, WuFei twirled and turned to face Duo.
What surprised him was, Duo had also just turned, once again brown orbs met violet orbs...
***Duo***
Duo felt his heart being tore apart as he stepped away from WuFei. [Why...Why did you do that Wu-chan...no, I guess it's just WuFei now...] Suddenly something caught his eyes, a silk, white, handkerchief...WuFei's handkerchief...
***Flashback***
"Duo be careful!! These monsters are of high level!! Fire Ball!!" a huge ball of fire was shot out as a number green skinned zombies reached for WuFei. There was nauseating smell burnt skin, but no sound was made as the zombies fell.
"Damn these things!!" Duo screamed as he did several combined movements with his scythe. Limbs and other body parts of the zombies nearest him hit the ground with a sickening thump. They were just talking a short passage in a forest when they were ambushed by zombies out of nowhere. "How many of them are there?!"
The fight continued on without winners, the zombies just continue to appear out of nowhere, and the two fighters were getting tired. Suddenly the balance changed as a zombie appeared from ground right behind Duo.
"Duo!!!! Look out!!!" WuFei's warning came too late as the attack of the zombie hit it's target.
Duo give loud scream as a incredible pain shot up his right arm, the dagger of the zombie had been embed deeply there. The scythe was dropped on the ground as Duo collapsed on his knees.
WuFei felt his heart froze as he saw Duo's dropped to the ground, face full of pain, the zombies closing with no well intention. "DUO!! NO!!!" frantically WuFei cast a more powerful spell.
"Golden glob of light,
The start of all life,
I call upon thee to punish the ones of darkness!!
GOLDEN BARRIER!!!"
With that a glow of gold blinding everyone's view was made, then the next second, Duo saw that all the zombie with in the spell area totally were vaporized. There was nothing left of them other then dust, and there was a protective bubble around the two of them. Suddenly, a sharp pain once again was felt on his right shoulder, Duo let loud hiss as he turned his head "What the hell?!" It was WuFei, he had pulled the dagger out, and was bandaging his shoulder with a silk white handkerchief.
"I had just cast healing spell, it'll take a while to work. Are you alright? Can you stand?" WuFei, turned to look at him with worry.
Duo felt his heart melt. WuFei was worried, worried for him, no matter for his cold appearance, he still cares. With a small nod, he stood up.
"Good, you just stay behind me. Let me take care of the monsters, we better get out of here fast so I can cast major healing spells on that wound." With that WuFei took out a long fighting knife, and held it in one hand preparing for fighting, while the other one got a hold of Duo's hand ready to lead him out of the forest.
***End of flashback***
No, Duo couldn't do it, he can't leave WuFei with out looking back, without regrets. He needed him, [WuFei, no matter for his cool appearance, I know he still cares somewhat, there must be a reason.] With that Duo turned back and saw WuFei's gaze also turned to him.
"Duo/WuFei..." The two said synonymously.
Just then Duo spotted something, it moving in the shadows right behind WuFei! Suddenly the tip of a weapon was shown. [Shit! An arrow!!] Without thinking, Duo dropped his belongs and dashed towards the young sorcerer, desperate to reach WuFei before the arrow does. Barely making there in time, and didn't have time to push the both of them out of the way, Duo covered WuFei's body with his own shielding him from harm. Bitting his lip from screaming as the pain injected it self in his left shoulder.
"Duo!" WuFei cried out in horror as Duo let go of his hold on his body and slid to the ground. "You bustard!!! Thunder Arrow!!!!" A shot of lighting roamed through the sky and shot down towards where the Arrow came from with a boom. Without checking if the attacker was killed, who probably was since the spell area was all burnt now. WuFei kneeled down next to Duo, tears burred his vision as he saw Duo lying there pale and in pain. "Duo..."
"Wu...Wu-chan, are...are you alright?" Those were the first words out of Duo's mouth.
"Duo, you baka!! Why did you do that?" WuFei yelled as tears fell with out shame.
"G...Glad your...safe..." Duo know that this wound probably won't kill him, but man! It hurts! However, suddenly he felt dizzy, and it was not costed from the pain from the arrow, not only that his vision was blacking out bit by bit now and that would only mean one thing. [Oh crap!] "Wu-chan...I think the...the arrow had poison..." With that the world went black.
"Duo!!"
