Blood 5/5
By: Hotaru
Wufei sighed as he watched Duo toss and turn in his 'transformation'. He looked like he was in so much pain. /You'll thank me once it's over love./ he thought, pressing a kiss against Duo's cheek. There was a knock on the door. "Wufei, how's he doing?" Wufei's older brother Trieze asked. Wufei looked down at Duo and sighed. "I suppose well enough. Though I have never seen a human in this much pain. "Fear not brother, he'll be fine. You were the same when you first came here." Trieze said. Wufei blushed slightly and looked back down at Duo.
Finally, the vampire blood was flowing through his veins, the fangs were nestled in his mouth. "Hn.." he moaned, curling into a ball. Wufei shook Duo gently. "Duo, are you okay? Wake up love." He whispered into Duo's ear. "Hm..Wufei? 'Zat you?" Duo mumbled, opening his eyes slowly. "Yes love." Wufei whispered. "Did it work? Am I a vampire now?" Duo asked, looking up at Wufei. "Of course it worked love. How do you feel?" Wufei asked.
"I don't know. Hey wait a minute—what's going to happen in..the mortal world? Will they declare me missing or what?" Duo asked, sitting up and rubbing his eyes. Wufei smiled and helped Duo up. "Your funeral is going on as we speak. Would you like to go watch?" he asked. Duo wrinkled his brow and nodded. "When you turn into a vampire, your soul sort of leaves your mortal body, and comes here. So you're mortal body was found in the terminal. The police will say you were attacked by a homeless person, case closed." Wufei explained as they returned to the mortal world.
"Really? That's cool—I think. So, this isn't my real body?" Duo asked, looking down at his hands. "Well, this is you in your purest form. What you *really* look like. Your mortal body was merely a shell protecting your immortal body." Wufei replied as they entered the funeral parlor. "Oh…how the hell do you know all this stuff?" Duo asked. "My brother told me when I first became a vampire. I suppose it's a tradition." Wufei replied. They walked into the room, unnoticed, for they couldn't be seen. "And so, we lay this dear boy of sixteen to lay at rest in God's eternal kingdom of heaven. Amen." The preacher closed his bible and bowed his head to Duo's mortal body.
Hilde sat in the front row, holding a tissue to her eyes. Duo's father was somewhere in the middle. He looked sort of sad but almost relieved. 'That's him. The bastard isn't even crying.' Duo said angrily. Heero was there as well, next to Hilde comforting her. There were a few members of the basketball team there, and the coach. Even a few school mates. One by one they began to say good bye to Duo. "Uh..son. I-I'm sorry." Duo's father mumbled before rushing out of the room. Wufei took Duo's hand as Hilde, the last person, went to the coffin.
"Oh Duo…why did this happen? I didn't mean to run away, I was just scared and confused. Please don't stay angry at me, where ever you are. I really did love you…I still do." Duo frowned and walked over to Hilde and put his hand on her shoulder. Hilde jumped and turned around. "D-Duo?! What…what the hell is this?!" Hilde exclaimed. [AN- My vampires have the ability to choose when they can be seen. Cool huh?] Duo smiled softly. "I ain't dead Hilde. I'm very much alive." Duo said. Hilde backed away from him slowly. "Who are you? Who the hell is in that casket?" Hilde asked, becoming very scared. "Hilde, I didn't die. That guy is me, only my mortal form. What you see before you is my immortal form."
"I'm not a human any more. I'm a vampire." Hilde shook her head and said, "No Duo…there's no such thing as vampires. This is just some sick game you're trying to play!" Duo crossed his arms. "No Hilde. It's not a game. I'm a vampire, look at my fangs, look at my skin, look at me! I'm not me anymore!" he said. Hilde crumpled into a chair and sobbed. "Why Duo? Why'd you have to leave me?" she asked angrily. Duo sighed. "Because I didn't belong here anymore. Everything was going wrong and I just couldn't take it anymore." He said.
Hilde shook her head. "Everyone has difficulties in life. But you just ran away! Taking the easy way out, again! Why couldn't you just try to deal with your problems? I would have helped you." Wufei stood, watching. Duo made a very good vampire. "Well Hilde, yeah, maybe I did take the easy way out but I'm much happier as a vampire than I would ever be as a human. I'm gone Hilde. Maybe I'll come visit you one day but right now I want to go home."
Wufei took Duo's hand and, after feeding on some ditzy teen age girls, they returned home. While holding each other that night, Duo poked Wufei's nose and asked, "Fei, what's your favorite food?" Wufei smiled devilishly and whispered, "Blood."
