Angel's Slave
/When will I see you again? I have the strangest feeling that we've met each other before now.../
The next morning...
Duo woke up, only to see a big crowd around his bed. Even the doctor was there. "I felt perfectly fine yesterday... Why are you all looking at me like that? What's wrong?" Duo said, only half awake. /Why are they looking at me like they've just seen a ghost? I remember when I got home they were all sound asleep./
He opened his eyes a slightly wider, causing himself to gasp. Hanging there, just past his bed, was his tuxedo. Looking like it did the day he bought it.
"Who got the tux back for me?" Duo asked, confused.
The others only stared at each other. It was almost like they were trying to slove an extremly hard puzzle. The doctor leaned over to touch his forehead.
"What are you doing?!" Duo asked accusingly.
"Good, he doesn't have a temperture." The doctor noted satisfactoraly.
His mother's expression made him think that something was wrong. "Are you ok?" Noin asked.
"Yeah. I only came home late last night really sleepy so I went to bed. I fell asleep before my head even hit the pillow."
His parents looked at each other, then over towards the servants. "No. You came home a little bit before dawn, not late at night. You were wearing your tuxedo home, walking around you were sleep walking. You didn't seem to even hear the servants when they called you. Then you fainted."
"I didn't faint!! And I didn't get home a little bit before dawn!! Do you think you all saw a ghost?"
"Ghost! Oh my... we must call a priest to exorcise the deamon out." Pagan said, eyes huge.
Duo grabed Pagan's hand. "Did you really see me come home just a little before dawn?"
"Yes Sir. I opened the door for you but you didn't recognize me. I've been with you for 20 years now."
Duo was getting frustrated. "Nothing's wrong. Get out! I need some time to think." He pointed in the direction of the door.
/I swear it wasn't a dream. It looked and felt so real. I have to check it out for myself./ He changed into a white shirt and blue jeans then drove to the same beach where he'd met Trowa. "Trowa! Bring me back to the village!" But Trowa did not show. He stood on the same spot that the old castle use to be. /Maybe it was all in my imagaination after all. No, that can't be true. Yesterday I was in the Nanashi village. And I told Heero my number. Will he call me?/ He smirked again at the irony.
He continued to hold his cell-phone tightly, and with every ring it was answered in less then two seconds. All of the calls were from old pals, calling to say 'hi'. /Why am I waiting for Heero? He apparently doesn't even exsist, yet I feel a strong connection between the two of us./
The phone rang, making the boy deep in thought jump. It was only Hilde. "No, I'm sorry. I don't feel well darling. Would you mind calling back later?" He hung up.
The phone rang a second time. Hilde, again. /For the sake of everything holy!/ "Hilde! If you call me again, I'm going to cancel the wedding!" He quicky slamed it shut and turned it off, to avoid any unwanted phone calls. Mostly from a certain someone who is now pissing him off majorly.
He continued walking untill it was almost dusk. All of a sudden he got an idea. Pulling out his phone (which is still off) he begain talking to it. "Trowa, Wufei, Quatre, Sam, Kenji, Johnny, or anyone who can hear this, please answer me. This is Duo. Heero are you there?"
Suddenly a sound unlike any other came from behind the mountain. He had never heard anything even remotely similar before. It was high pitched, yet so soothing. /It sounds like high F./
/Maybe Une isn't even human, a ghost, or an angel. She just used the voices of the villagers to talk to me./ The more he thought about her, the more he became jealous of the woman. /Maybe she's Heero's lover, or he's her slave. Maybe it wasn't Une at all. It could have been Relena./
Duo ran back to his car, getting out the 'party' stereo. He then ran back to the beach and yelled at the top of his lungs. "UNE?!?!?! HEERO IS GOING TO STAY WITH ME AND HE'S NEVER GOING BACK TO THE VILLAGE!!!"
A mysterious woman's voice, just like the one from yesterday spoke. "Heero... come back to me or I'll have to punish you. You can't talk to the people from the outside. They will only ruin the teachings of Nanashi."
With a smirk Duo turned off his stereo while running to his car. He drove straight to Hilde's place.
"I have something you need to hear." Duo pushed play on his new recording. "Well, can you hear it?"
Hilde looked at him puzzled. "Who's Heero, and what the heck is Nanashi village? And who were you yelling at anyway?"
He closed his eyes and sighed. "Thank you."
"What for?"
He opened them and looked straight into her eyes. "You can really hear it?"
"Of course I can. I'm not deaf." Her brow wrinkled under all the crazy questions.
Duo leaned towards her and whispered. "This is a secert. Don't tell anyone." /I'm so happy!!! It's real. It's all real!!/ "We're going to go have a party on my yatch tomorrow, so you better be there!"
"Where do you want to go?" /What is he talking about?/
"The beach!" He was positivly glowing.
"Are you crazy? You can drive to the beach. It's not like you to waste all that gas just for an afternoon trip. And I can't, I have business to attend to tomorrow." Sneered Hilde.
"But you can bring all your girlfriends there or your friends, whatever." He waved his hands around, without a care in the world. "All you ever talk about is nail polish. If you don't go with me tomorrow. I'm not going to marry you Hilde."
"You're not at all scared that I might not marry you?"
"If you can find a person thats better for you, I don't really care if you do or not." /I just hope you won't. I want to be with Heero./
"What do you mean another person? Another man? Hell no, I can only love you."
He lowered his head just a little. /I want to see Heero again. Can't she just leave me alone?/
When Duo got home he replayed the tape over and over in hopes of finding a little wisper of Heero's breathing or a trimmer of a sigh.
*The Next Morning...*
A crowd of invited people were mingaling on the yatch. Duo knew some and a few he didn't, but it's lacking a certain mood. He can't quite point it out, but he does notice that after meeting Heero, things always seem to be missing something. Just then a slightly chubby man came onto the boat. Duo's breath caught in his throught. /THAT'S SAM!!!!!/
He very quicly strode over to him. "Sam, why are you here?"
The man turned around. He looked as if he didn't recognize Duo. "Oh, I don't think we've met before. Who are you?"
"I'm Duo remember? You're Sam. Remember the village?"
Sam look hopelessly at Hilde.
"Don't be silly darling. Even though you guessed his name correctly, you've never met before. Sam use to go to Yale with me. Sam, this is my finace'. Darling, this is Sam Wong."
Sam extended his hand. "Nice to meet you. Hilde had told me a lot about you my man! So, when's the wedding?"
Duo glared at Sam for a moment or two. /What's going on?/
"You must be very busy man Sam. I've already sent the invition to you. You will come won't you?" Hilde asked, eyes pleading.
"Of course. Why would I miss my friend's wedding? Not for anything else in the world, unless of course, your fiance' has other plans."
"Excuse us for a minute would you Mr. Wong?" Duo said while he smiled, and pulling Hilde away. "When did you meet that Sam?"
"Oh, I thought I told you already. We go to Yale together darling. He's a really talented business man. I got my wedding dress from one of his companys for half price."
"Why haven't I ever heard you talk about him? What does he do?" Asked the extremely curious Duo.
"Why am I getting the feeling that you don't like him? You keep glaring at him like he's evil. He does practicaly every business that's legal."
Duo glanced back towards Sam. /He has to be the same Sam I saw yesterday, and I have to talk to him./ Duo walked over and waited infront of the bathroom door where Sam went just entered. As soon as the door opened he faked to faint, only strong arms steadied him. "I KNEW IT!!! You are not Mr. Wong, you're Mr. Nanashi!"
"Duo, I can't deny that I'm not from the village. But what would the other people think?"
Duo was almost jumping up and down. "With you here, I can surely find the Nanashi village!"
"You won't find it." Sam shook his head in defeat.
"I planned this to be on the beach so I could prove that the village really does exsist, and it's not just from one of my dreams."
"I can't help you." He stated again.
"I've been there before, and I did it on my own. You don't think I'll do it again?! You're wrong pal!"
"No Duo. Please listen. There are too many people here. I can't alow them know about the village. If they do, it's 'Bye bye Sam' for me. I don't think that either of us want that."
"Then you promise me you will take me there again? When?"
"Are you always like this? I, I can't make promises like that Duo."
"When?? I'm a business man too. You can't break promises or everybody on this boat will terminate the contracts they have with you."
"I told you. I can't make promises."
Duo's face turned determined. "HEE...."
"HE MAKES REALLY GOOD FOOD!" Sam finished for him. He turned back to face him, almost glaring. "Tonight." He wispered.
"Fine and if you or Trowa don't show up I'll..."
"I already know. Terminate my contracts right? You know you and Wufei should hang around each other. You are both so freaking subborn."
"Wufei? Hell no, I have another person in mind." Duo blushed.
"Just tell me who you want to see from the village, and don't you dare say anything about this place. Look at you, you're blushing! Remember, you're going to be a husband soon. There isn't much time to change your mind."
"Who there is not time?"
"I understand. I'll ask Trowa to get you from the beach tonight."
"No, not Trowa. Get.....get... Heero to do it!"
"That's going to be hard. I don't think he'll want do that."
"I'm fairly sure he will. Just get him please, and make sure Une doesn't call him back."
Sam paled.
"What? Are all of you afraid of this Une? Heero seems to be too. He always listens to her."
"Have you seen Une?"
"No. I've only heard her voice."
"I haven't seen her either. I'm not worthy enough yet."
"Then you're saying that Heero is more worthy than the rest of you?"
"Of course. Didn't you see him, I mean really look at him?"
"Yeah, and when he heard Une's voice he became very sad."
"A slave is never happy."
"Are you saying that Heero is Une's slave?"
"Yes, now stop asking me about him. We don't talk much, but we all know that he's unhappy living like that, being someones salve."
"You all make no sense. Heero, and you, any of the others, you can all leave the village at anytime. But no. You're staying there!"
"It's because we love our village and would die for it."
"What about Heero? He seems to be unhappy about all of the rules."
"He still loves the village, and that's why he's a slave."
"Sam, the world has changed. You see it often enough. Why don't you tell them about the new changes we've made?"
"Tell who? The villagers have all been brainwashed. Hell, I'm even lower than Angel's Slave."
/Angel's Slave? Didn't Heero told me that he's an Angel's Slave? I thought he was joking at the time, but now Sam said it too. Maybe he too is an Angel's Slave. But who's? Une's?/ Duo then proceeded to ask Sam a series of questions, but the answer was always: "I don't know."
Duo was getting no where. "I don't want to know the village's top secrets. I only want to be your friend. Help everyone out."
"The Nanashi village doesn't need friends."
"You all live in fear. Why doesn't anyone want a helpful friend? Even tf Heero doesn't want to see me, I'll wait for Trowa on the beach tonight."
Sam nodded and disapeared into the sea of business men once again.
