Warnings: More yaoi hinting (1+2, 3+4)
The next morning, I woke up under a pile of leaves. What had happened? Where was I? Everything from last night slowly came back to me, and suddenly, I shuddered. Was I really a vampire? To see, I put my finger on an eye tooth and put light pressure on the back of it. Sure enough, it got longer and sharper. Then, I got really embarrassed, for I didn't know if I was wearing anything or not. I sat up and looked. I was still wearing my boxers. Thank God. I sighed, then looked around. Where was Trowa? Surely he would have fallen asleep after that too.
Something rustled in the tree above me. Trowa jumped down from a low branch. He was holding something. "I brought you your breakfast." He set a wounded doe on the ground in front of me.
"Are you kidding, Trowa? I can't eat that!" But something inside told me to.
"Quatre, if you don't drink the blood of another living being soon, you will die, and you won't be a full vampire until you do drink."
I edged towards the large injured animal. It's eyes had fear in them. Genuine fear. Could it tell what Trowa and I were?
"Quatre, drink. I don't want to lose you."
"Alright...if you insist..." I put my face down to the quivering animal. I shut my eyes and stuck my fangs into the doe's neck. I felt nothing.
"Try again. You don't always hit a vein your first time." I tried again, and this time, warm liquid came rushing into my mouth. It wasn't a familiar feeling. But it didn't feel foreign either. Like I had done it before. I swallowed it, and I felt a slight churning in my stomach as my insides twisted and shaped themselves to where they could digest blood.
"Are you done?" he asked me. I nodded. "We should get back to camp now."
I noticed Trowa's clothes were back on. "Um...where are my clothes?"
"Over there." He pointed to a log next to the pond. My clothes were draped over it. I quickly took them and pulled them on.
"I'm ready to go now," I told him. We set off back to camp.
*****
As we approached camp, yelling could be heard. Assuming it was just Heero and Duo fighting again, we payed it no mind. But what we saw when we got to camp would have changed our minds had we known what was going on earlier. 5 men were in our camp. 5 -big- men.
Heero and Wu Fei were lying on the ground, unconscious. One of the big men had Duo by the arms, and was threatening to pull him apart. Duo was screaming.
I couldn't stand it anymore. I jumped out of where Trowa and I had been hiding, and, despite Trowa's disapproval, ran towards the camp. I could tell Trowa was following me as I ran, because I could hear his light steps on the dirt.
"Leave Duo alone!" I screamed in rage. I lunged at the big man that held Duo and connected to his arm, clinging on for dear life. The man let Duo go, and Duo fell to the ground.
"Hey, look, guys! It's that blondie," he told his companions. He picked me off his large arm by the back of my shirt and held me in the air that way. "Looks like you'll be coming with us."
"No chance of that!" Trowa's fist connected with the man's jaw, and the man dropped me. I landed hard on the ground below and winced as pain shot through my body. Trowa came over to me. "Are you ok, Quatre?"
"Yes..." I forced out as I painfully stood up. My leg or something hurt badly.
"You're still weak from the transformation. You shouldn't be fighting."
I smiled. "That's my line."
He laughed. "You go take care of Heero, Duo, and Wu Fei, while I take care of these overgrown bastards." He nodded towards the 5 men.
"Alright. Be careful, Trowa!" I called as he ran towards the men. I turned and ran to Duo, who was forcing himself to sit up. "Duo, are you ok?"
He looked at me. "If being in pain means I'm ok, then I'm great." He grimaced. "I think that bastard pulled my arms out of socket."
"Let me see." Duo showed me his arms, and sure enough, they both were pulled out of socket. "Here. I'll push them back in." I grabbed his arm and worked it back into socket, and the other arm followed suit, Duo screaming the whole time.
Duo stood up. "Thanks, Quatre." He looked at my face, then got a confused look on his face. "Are you ok, Quatre? You look pale."
If I could have, I would have blushed. But somehow, it wouldn't happen. "Yes, I'm fine Duo. Come on, we have to help the guys. You get Heero, I'll get Wu Fei."
"Alright!" We ran to the other two boys. Heero got up almost immediately. But Wu Fei...
"Wu Fei! Get up!" I shook the Chinese hard, but he wouldn't open his eyes! "Wu Fei..." I growled. I rolled him over and pinched his nose shut. His eyes popped open, and he sat up gasping. "It's about time."
"Huh?" He looked at me. "Oh, Quatre. It's you. Where's Trowa?"
"Fighting those things." I pointed in the direction where Trowa was. It appeared he was winning over them. He already had 3 of the 5 down for the count, but the last two looked like they were just playing with him. Presently, they had him in the air, going back and forth between the two of them.
"Dammit!" Wu Fei punched the ground. "We're not gonna win against those guys! If only we had our Mobile suits with us!"
"I know." I looked to he ground. How were we ever going to beat these guys...?
*****
Way up in the clouds, Quatre no Miko, a blue-haired girl with pointed ears, sat on a cloud, surrounded by Quatre plushies, printouts from her computer that wasted at least $60 worth of ink cartridges, not counting color cartridges, and small action figures and Gundam models. Her hair was put up into buns on the side of her head (a la Dota from Bakuretsu Hunters). She grinned. "Kit Kat, I'll help you out!"
*****
"Alright, we need a plan," Heero said in his monotone voice.
"We can always ambush them," Wu Fei suggested.
"Or we can dump ice cream on them!" Duo exclaimed. We all looked at him and sweatdropped.
"Well, whatever we're gonna do, we have to do it fast. They're making a play toy out of Trowa!" I clenched my fist. Why won't you let me fight, Trowa? I'm not weak. I--
My thoughts were interrupted by a small shriek of happiness from Wu Fei. I looked up, and our mobile suits were looming over us. "What the...? how did they get here?!"
Duo grinned. "Someone up there likes us!"
*****
Quatre no Miko grinned from her home in the sky. "I like Quatre most, though!"
*****
After the whole incident, we all sat around the campfire, eating Rice Krispies out of makeshift Styrofoam bowls. [1] Trowa and I barely even touched it, though, because even though we could digest food if necessary, we needed blood to survive. Heero took note of this.
"Trowa, Quatre, you're not eating. Is something wrong?" Heero asked in monotone.
"Nothing's wrong, Heero," Trowa responded, equally monotone.
Duo grinned. "Can I have your Rice Krispies, Quatre?"
I smiled. "Sure, Duo." I handed them to him.
"But you two don't look so good," Wu Fei observed.
"We're ok," Trowa said.
"Sure?"
"Yes."
"Ok." We let the subject drop there.
*****
Sometime later that night, we were all gathered around the campfire again, but we were trying to make a plan to ambush the king guy who had kidnapped me.
"We could storm the castle like they did in all those old movies!" Duo exclaimed.
"Nah."
"Why not, Hee-kun?"
"It won't work. You saw the security. We only got by them last time thanks to my snipering skills."
"I didn't know you had snipering skills."
"Now you know."
I sighed. "I don't care what we do, you guys, but we have to go back to town to restock our supplies."
"He's right." Trowa stood up. "We have to restock our ammunition, and possibly our food supply also." He looked at Duo, who hid behind a rock.
*****
Duo and I walked down the street towards the convenience store on the corner. Duo hadn't said a word until he looked me over. "Quatre, I still think you're pale."
"Yeah." I hung my head. What was his obsession with this?
He grinned suddenly, that evil glint coming into his eye. Oh no. "I think you need a tan!"
"And how am I going to do that? Florida is halfway across the world." He smirked and pointed across the street to a tanning salon. "Oh, no. Nonononono." Since I had been turned into a vampire, I had developed a fear of bright lights. I didn't know what a tanning bed would do to me. Nonetheless, Duo dragged me unwillingly across the street and into the salon.
As soon as we entered the place full of hair spray, facial masks, and tanning beds, Duo yelled, "One tan, please!"
A woman in a pink robe scurried over to us. "One tan, coming up! Which one of you is getting the tan?" Duo pointed to me. The woman handed me a pair of sunglasses and took my arm. "Oh, dear. You need it, honey!" I didn't like the way she said that.
Duo trailed along behind us as the woman dragged me to a large machine that looked like an Iron Lung from those Looney Tunes cartoons. Only this one had bright blue fluorescent lights all over it.
The woman looked at me. "Strip down."
"What?!"
"Strip down. At least to your boxers."
"Ok..." I stripped down, trying my hardest to blush since I couldn't do it naturally anymore. Once I was down to my boxers, the woman picked me up and put me into the tanning bed. I winced as the light touched my bare skin. It burned a little.
"Alright! I'm gonna shut this lid and turn up the dial to where it will only take you a half hour to tan!" She smiled, and that was the last thing I saw before the fluorescent lights closed her out. I suddenly felt the lights getting brighter. I put on the sunglasses, but it didn't help any. I couldn't help it. The light burned me so much. So I screamed. As loud as I could, just to get someone to let me out of this thing.
The lid lifted, but I was still screaming. It still burned. Someone picked me up from the tanning bed and laid me on the floor, where I was still screaming, but not as loudly. I heard Trowa's voice.
"Duo, why would you do such a thing?!"
Silence. "Well, I thought that he needed a tan, because he was so pale...and--"
"His skin is very light sensitive! You could have killed him!"
"But I thought--"
"You thought what?! That you'd kill him because if you killed everyone off, one by one, you could get revenge for your family?!"
As my vision began to come back, I saw a black blur run towards the front of the store. "D...Duo..."
"Let him go, Quatre." Trowa looked down into my face. "Are you alright?" Stupid question. Take a look at my skin!
"N...no..." Trowa looked at my skin. My whole chest was nearly charred.
"Quatre, I'm sorry I didn't get here sooner."
"It's...ok." Trowa looked at the woman, who was standing there, staring, in shock.
"Hey! you! Get me some ointment or something!" The woman scurried off. He looked back at me. "Quatre, I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."
