Angel's Slave
Midnight.
Duo was standing on the beach alone, waiting for his ride to the village. Not far from the shore, he could make out a boat moving towards him. The problem was he couldn't see the person in the boat, so he had to get his flaslight out. The beam of light projected onto the person's back. Duo really couldn't see them, so he had no real idea who it was, seeing how Trowa and Heero have similar colored hair.
"Trowa, it's me, Duo. Bring the boat closer. There's no one with me."
"Get on." The monoton voice commanded.
"Heero!" He didn't think twice, running to the boat, he jumped in. "I thought you wouldn't come."
"Tonight's moon is silver." Heero mumured, looking straight into his eyes.
"Our love would be forever." Duo continued.
Heero turned on the engine. With one hand he held the handle that would guide them, the other holding Duo's hand. The moon-light made Duo's face turn a pale blue color. If you look close enough, you could see two crystalized drops run down his heart shaped face.
"That's what you said in your previous life. Same as me, that's exactly what I said. I can't believe that you never regreted it."
"That's true with my feeling. I didn't regret a thing." Duo said, with a small smile. /How can I have this feeling again when I've only seen him and been to the village once? But that one time seemed like it lasted forever./
"I see now that you know who I am. Why didn't you tell me yesterday?" Duo asked, the first of many.
Heero smiled sadly. "How would I know if you remembered me or not? It seemed very clear that you didn't."
"But when I saw you, I instantly remembered the poem. Every second in my life, I've been waiting for you. Wanting to be with you Heero." Duo held his hand tighter.
"Even if you don't have any idea why, as soon as you wanted to come back to the village, I knew that you didn't regret one thing."
Duo looked up towards the sky and asked. "Heero... are you a human or a ghost?"
"Actually......I'm both, but as long as we can see each other, does it matter?"
"Today, I tried to find the village but I couldn't. Why?"
"Because of the tide."
"Heero, I don't know why, but I have a feeling that I'm somehow connected to your village. Even when I was little, I always admired the castle that got the concept from yours. I feel like it's a part of me."
"Your homeland isn't as good as you think. The real one is so much better."
"We could ask everyone in the village to help rebuild it so it can be the one that I've always dreamed of."
"You also need to improve it, not just rebuild. Sam knows that. The world isn't the same anymore. We can't live in the past." Heero said squeezed Duo's hand lightly. "Will you help me?"
"With my life, I'll help you." Duo said quitely.
"I don't need your life. All I need is for your heart to believe in me. You can only live once so don't give it away that quickly."
"Sam told me that you're not happy with your life." Duo pried.
"One day, we'll be happy." Heero said wistfully.
"Who's Une? Why is she controling you?" Duo asked, concern written all over his face.
"It's not normal control. I'm her slave."
"Are all the slaves ranked just as high in your village?" Duo couldn't understand how he could be feared like that.
"I have two mistresses. One is Une and the other is Anne."
"Both of them are females right? I'm thinking that they must be very pretty." Duo said enviously.
"You can say that I'm the slave of the future. I'm looking for a future." Heero said drily.
"Will I get to see them?" Duo asked.
"They don't get along well with each other. Anne never said anything, but I know Une is not happy with me." Heero stopped the boat. "We're here. Please becareful."
As soon as their feet hit the ground, that same soft voice Duo heard before surfaced again.
"Heero, you left out on your own again without telling me. Bring that young man here this instance."
"Good. Cause I want to see you." Duo said standing up with a determend air. "That's only a high F. I wonder if you can get to high G."
The soft laugher rose another note. It was almost ear peiceing. Duo had to cover his ears, but it didn't help. The laughter still rang in them.
"What C, D, E, F, G? I say C is C and G is G. It's not your place to command me."
"You're very cruel Une. I won't talk to someone like you."
"My ideas are the only right ideas." Une stated.
"Well then you're the only one that knows because you're the only one that understands. Who in there right mind would listen?" Duo said, almost mockingly.
"You can save your breath. I'm still the highest of them all. You will talk only if I say so."
"You mean I can't even talk to myself? Who do you think you are?"
"I, of course, am not a mere motal. I'm an angel." Une replied.
"Yeah, I bet you're the angel of asylums." Duo snorted.
"No, I'm the angel of this village."
Duo turned to stare at Heero. He barely smiled in return.
"Heero, how can you let him talk to me like that? I'll turn you into a mortal, and you'll never be an Angel's Slave again."
"He's not from this village. I have no control over what he says."
Une laughed coldly. "I despise outsiders. They ruin our ideas. The Nanashi Village isolated itself because the people from the outside don't think clearly."
"Then I'll take him home." Heero said quickly.
"No! He mocked me. He should be in jail this moment!"
"I'm not from this village so you can't put me in a prison." Duo finally spoke after moments of slience.
"Heero bring him here to me." Une commanded.
"Ok, fine. I don't really care. But I am really interested to see what an Angel looks like." Duo said curiously.
"You're still the same. Haven't change a bit from your previous life." Heero whispered softly.
"Are you saying there's something wrong with that?"
Heero took Duo's slender waist, pulling him towards himself, holding him tight. "That's why I haven't forgoten you. Even after all these years."
They stared at each other for a long time. It was almost as they could understand what the other was thinking. /I've never felt like this before./
Heero reluctantly let go. "Come on. It's time to see Une."
The village had no lights, seeing how they were from the outside world, but Heero still managed to find his way in the dark. After about fifteen minuets of walking, they stoped at a cliff's edge.
"The castle is up there." Heero said, pointing.
Duo looked in the direction, but it was to dark to see clearly. "How can we get up there? Can you fly or something?"
"You will have to follow me. Trust me." Heero said reasuringly, grabing his hand once again.
Heero led him to the left side of the cliff. There was a stairway leading upward. Heero tightened his grip on Duo's hand as they began to slowly walk up the stairs. What seemed like thousands of steps later, Heero was still going strong. Duo on the other hand sounded like he was going to colapse from an asthma attack. When they finially reached the top Duo noticed that there was a slide leading downward. It could was wide enough for about two people.
"We're at the top of Mt. Nanashi." Heero pointed out.
"But why are we here? I tought we we're going to the castle." Duo looked around,eyes huge, taking everything in.
"That's the way to it. Have you ever been on a slide before? From the looks of the vertical drop, it's doesn't seem pleasent. But to tell you the truth, it's not that scary." He smirked. "You'll already be inside before you think the ride has even begun."
"How do we get out once we are in?" Duo asked, slightly skeptical.
"True. Getting in is easy, but getting out is a different story. The thing is, with me here, you don't have to worry about any of it." He looked at him, a small smile threating to take over his normaly blank face.
"It's too narrow. How can it fit both of us?" Duo asked squezzing Heero's hands for reasurence.
"I'll go down first, that way I can break your fall when you go down. Just in case." He gave a small smile.
Heero jumped onto the tube, and about ten seconds later a soft 'thud' was heard. Duo closed his eyes, took a deep breath, and jumped into the tube, following his Heero. It was exactly what he said it would be, a virtical drop. His hear seemed to fall out of his chest, at least to him it sure felt like it. When the 'ride' stoped he couldn't see a thing. He had no clue where he was, and that was a scary thought. He started franticly searching for Heero, only to be reasured by the soft grip of a warm hand.
"AHHHH!! Oh, Heero. You scared me. That, that was more pumping then any rollercoaster I've ever rode. It felt like my heart was going to leap from my body." He was slightly gasping, trying to catch his breath.
"Was it fun?"
"No. I'm never going that way again. Ever, do you hear me? I want a real door!" He was about to continue, but he remembered what had just happened and why. "Where are we? It's so dark in here. Is this Hell?"
"No, it's not. But you will think you're in Heaven soon. Stay here." Heero slipped into a deeper darkness.
"Why do we have to go back up when we just got here? Back and forth?"
"This is only the prison. Une doesn't live here."
"Do the prisoners always live in the dark?"
Heero nodded. "After being locked up down here, you tend to lose your mind. Everyone here is now insane. They all have fogotten about their future. It doesn't exist anymore."
"That's extremly sick. It's even worst than death. They couldn't have done something that bad to deserve this." Duo said while looking around. It looked as if he felt he was captured, in danger.
"In the Nanashi Village, anyone who opposes the Nanashi ideals, commit crimes far worst than even murder. Une's trying to scare you. I didn't know that you were afaird of the dark."
Une's voice came from someplace, almost a floating sound. "Nicely done Heero. He should first see what happens to those who disobey me. Now get up here, you should know I don't have all day."
Suddenly the floor that they were standing moved upward, becoming some sort of elevator. It continued to rise, all the time in total darkness, for a few hundred feet. Duo couldn't see or sense anything, except danger itself. The stone finally stopped.
"Une, we're here." Heero said politely, almost like it was programed.
"Over here." A voice from deeper in the darkness becond.
They walked towards it only a few meters. The voice disapeared while thousands of candles lit up the room. Heero imedietly kneeled down.
Duo looked up. He only saw a face. It had so much beauty, it took his breath away
