A Dream Come True Part 7

Duo let out a sigh of relief as he reached the bed.

~{Again,Duo,I can see right threw you.But I refuse to make
you tell me what happen til you are ready..I'll pretend I know
nothing...}~ Heero thought as he smiled at the chestnut
hair boy.

"Duo,when you are ready to talk I'm here for you..If I'm
asleep wake me,I'll drop everything."
Heero said wanting the boy to understand no matter what he
was doing he would drop it.

"Yeah..but it's midnight, and I was wondering if we could
go back to sleep?" Duo asked bashfully.

"Oh, sorry. Nearly forgot the time...." Heero said.

~*Okay...I'm gonna jump off the cliff for you Duo,don't let me
fall, catch me.*~

Heero crawled on the bed and quickly motion for Duo.

"Duo come here." Heero commanded.
Duo curiously crawled on the bed and laid down beside Heero.

"Yes?" Duo asked thoughtfully.
Heero pulled Duo into his arms, Duo struggled out of the tight
embrace.
"You don't want me to hold you no more?" Heero asked
almost hurt by Duo's reaction.

"NO!Sorry...I just wasn't expecting it..You scared me.
That's all..I'm sorry.." Duo replied.

"Okay..But would human touch scare you because of what
hapen?" Heero said knowingly.

"......................."
Duo said nothing but crawl back into Heero's safe embrace.

"Duo, you can tell me..I won't think any less of you..
are anything..I'm sure-----"Heero started but Duo cut him off.

"They raped...me...." It was muffled from the sound of the
sheet but Heero heard and understood it.But Duo thinking back
at what happen,and started crying.Now,Heero knew and t was
his fault,he just plain out said it.

"Duo.." Heero turned Duo around so he could see his eyes.
That's when.....

'Cobalt pitied Violet'

"Duo it's okay. They can't hurt you no more,because
they are getting what they deserved...A one way trip to hell."
Heero said sweetly.Duo looked up at cobalt eyes.

"Mat. He's gonna kill me......Queens orders.." Duo said.

"What?? Mat was in on this?Tell me everything you know."

"They are goning to kill me then you and the king..The queen
is going to totally rule the kingdom." Duo choked up from his
memory.

Heero got up hesitantly and looked at the clock.

"Aw! Crap! Duo come on we have three minutes to get to the
dungeon and stop their excution."Heero yelled as he ran out
the door and down the hall,Duo ran neck and neck with him.
They ran down as fast as they could when they got there
they had about 20 seconds to say something.

"STOP!"
Heero yelled,his words echoing through the room,all turning
their attention to the two boys in the doorway.

"Adara they know something that Duo and me both know but
I want them to say it to confirm I heard right.
Medwin I want Mat down here, in chains as well." Heero
orderd.They quickly obeyed,Heero just let out a sigh of
well needed relief.

"What's the matter, sire?" Adara asked worridly, her tone told
all so.

"They told Duo they were gonna kill him, me and then the
king.They work for the queen and she is trying to take
over the kingdom.If the gaurds admit to it I will have
Mat,them and the queen all excuted for attempted murder."
He said out of breath.

"You see when I told him we raced down here so we are both
a little out of breath." Duo explained.

"Duo so when did they tell you this?" She asked.
Duo looked nervous and humiliated, Heero quickly stepped in.

"Personal matter. I know when and I belive him.
I trust him with my life." Heero stated coldly.

"Okay,I belive you,just asking.I will be doing the interrogation,
right?" Adara said as she brushed her hand threw her long
blonde hair.

"Yes,I--we are going to warn Wufei of this misfortune."
Heero said, he made his way out the room,Duo following.

"And we want the results in the morning.We will be
going back to sleep.Have Noin and Zechs guard the
entrance to the castle." Heero commanded leaving them to
their work.

~*~
~*Where Duo is*~


**//I have to leave..I can't cause any more trouble..
every minute I stay here I put Heero's life on the line..//**

Duo looked down at the sleeping form on the bed.
And grabbed the dagger by the bed side,it was Heero's.

**//I have to say goodbye to you...how?........a note.//**

Duo quickly found a pen and paper and left Heero
a final goodbye..

"Heero...I hope Noin and Zechs don't catch me.."
Duo whispered.
He crept over the castle wall and into the night.

//Shouldn't have but two love birds on gaurd Heero.//

Duo thought to him-self as a single tear slid down his chin
and dripped on the dry ground.
He wondered around til he ended up at a familar place.

"Maxwell's church...." Duo said in astonishment.


"That's right, Duo..I thought you might come here."

A low voice from behind called. Duo turned in reflex
to see a woman with short brown hair and wearing a
long sliky white wedding dress. Rose red lips,her face
was snow white and her eyes were amberish-red color.
Her far-to-skinny body stood tall and perfectly straight
and her face had and evil smirk on it.

"Who are you!!!?" Duo shouted unsure if she was friend or
foe.

"Relena,and I must kill you." She said
raising her sword into view.

"Why does everyone wanna kill me?" He said as he took
out Heero's dagger.

"Now lady,look I don't wanna have to kill you.
And I'm sure you've got your reasons for wanting to kill
me but just kill some one else and leave me be.OKay?
Some onna's have to respect for sorrowers." He said half
heartly.
His heart was broken all he wanted was to be left alone.
Before he knew it there was a sword pushed in his chest.

"Dont talk about your enemy until you
know her full potential..And mine is I never miss my mark
and I will marry Heero."
She stated as she pulled her sword out of his chest as
he fell to the ground beside his dagger,all his air knocked out
of him.

"Relena!" A new figure gasped in awe.


~*~
~*~ heero's pov ~*~

I tossed and turned my mind--no my heart was telling me
to get up that something was terribly wrong or going to
be in a minute. I finally I reluctantly opened my eyes.

What I saw made my heart stop.

Duo's bed was empty.....just empty...an outline of where he
once slept was still there.
Okay, maybe he's just up..maybe he went to the bathroom
or maybe he just got hungry.

I propped myself up on one elbow,eyes widening in fear.

"Duo?" I whimpered,half choked up.
No answer.
I swung my legs over the bed my bare feet chilled at the
feel of the floor below them.
I ran to the door knowing there would be gaurds there.
They gasped in surprise when I threw the door open.

"Has Duo come out of the room for any reason??" I
questioned before they had time to say something.

"No sire.Why,sire?" The first gaurd,Medwin asked.

"He's not in there." I turned back to the room and it caught my
eye...The window was open...and a piece of paper stuck to it.
I rushed over and grasped it between my fingers,no doubt
it was Duo's handwriting.

"I'm sorry,Heero..
I had to do this.Every time you and me are together someone
gets hurt.If it was just me,it'd be okay..But when they drag
you and your family into it,I couldn't stand it if I had to see
you suffer,Heero...Just forget about this street rat..just
forget about me...I love you Heero.
Forever yours,

Duo Maxwell"

I felt the tears coming.I blinked them back as I read the
letter over.The ink..it was recently...put there on paper.
I snapped back to realtiy and carefully dropped the paper
on my bed.
"Adara!My must trust worthy guard!Please,I have a mission.
Find Duo for me and bring him back,I'll be accompanying
you on this one!" I shouted to the general.

"He ran away?..I'm sorry,sir.But I'm afraid I must go
alone.He's a run away he might come back,and you
should be here if he chooses that option. Treize and me
will find him." She said cooly.

"Fine!Just get going!" I approved and went to sit on my
bed and read the letter again..I can't belive he loves me..
and I him.


~*~
~*Where Duo is*~

"A innocent bypasser..I shall have to kill you." Relena
said cooly.
"I'm no innocent bypasser!I am Heero's general gaurd!
And I see you are the one to die!" Adara said bring
Adara slid out her Estoc. (a thrusting sword designed to stab)
Feeling very exictied because she knew she could not lose
this battle.She was in amor from head to toe and Relena
was in a long dragging dress that slowed her down.
And soon Relena was down...

"A thrusting sword is better than a Patula in an all out fight."
Adara whispere at her victory.

"Duo.?..Are you okay?"Adara said steping closer.
Seeing the pile of blood around him.

"Heero's not gonna be happy." she sighed aloud as she swung
Relena over her back.

~*~
Heero's eyes widen.

"He's what!!!?" He shouted praying to whatever god there
was he had heard wrong.

She simply nodded in return.
Heero got up and gave Relena's dead body a kick and then
spit in her face.
"Relena where ever the hell you are I want you to know
I would die if I were forced to marry your ugly ass!!"
Heero yelled as he fell down in his chair.

"Adara take me to him." He whispered

They went there to find nothing but blood in the snow.
More than a little.Beside that blood was Heero's dagger.
And that gloomy day was the first of many in a row.
The Queen and the Mat's guards were excuted.
The King soon found how hard it was to live with out
his beloved wife Rosa...To the kingdoms grief he
had commited sucide.And Heero had the chore of being
the king stuck upon him..And in one year all thee listed
happen to the poor prince who had felt like his very world
was taken from him.The prince would not give up on hope.
He hoped and prayed that Duo was alive,for no one had
found his body.

****************************
After this there will be one last chapeter.
So how was it?Sorry It took so long to get them up but
I wanted both to be up at the same time.
Please Read and Review.
