Notes: What?! I got nothing to say here? Nope, except that I'm very tired and I want
to wrap this up before going to bed! All
disclaimers apply.

Duo awoke to the familiar sound of
his master's light footsteps on the thick carpet of the room. Voices resonated from the end of the room
and the braided boy was able to make out a second tone, protesting wildly. He ducked under the covers, praying vainly
that Heero wouldn't notice him. He knew
very well this was useless; the Vampire Lord could smell him meters away. Duo covered his head with a pillow and
listened to the approaching conversation.
"Go to Hell Yuy."
"Yes dear, you already
said that. But before you and I go and
give our respects to the Prince of Evil, let me show you something. Duo?"
The braided boy braced himself and
held his breath. He heard Heero walk
towards the bed and could almost feel the burn of his gaze, scanning the
sheets.
"What kind of sick
game are you playing here Yuy?"
This was the second time Duo heard
the voice and couldn't suppress his curiosity. He wanted to see who it was but on the other hand, didn't want his
master to find him too soon.
"No game Wufei dear,
only innocent play."
The second voice snickered at this
remark and the braided boy let out a small yelp as Heero pulled on the covers,
revealing his trembling form.
"Now what did you
think you were doing under these sheets Duo pet? A game perhaps?"
"I…"
Duo babbled out a series of
incoherent words, his face flushing as he saw the other Asian boy standing next
to his master. He looked around
nervously for anything he could use to hide his nudity but Heero stepped on the
bed and nuzzled his head in the crook of his shoulder, sending him shivers all
the way up his back.
"This is Duo, Wufei
dear. We have been dating for some time
now."
"Shut up Yuy!"
The second boy made a grab for
Heero's collar but the Lord Vampire was faster, flipping swiftly backwards,
sending the Chinese boy flying onto Duo's lap. The braided boy blushed furiously as the other tried to untangle himself
from the sheets and Duo's legs. He
grunted loudly as he tried to jump once again at Heero but missed. Both boys landed gracefully onto the thick
carpet. They walked in a circle, their
arms out like birds of prey, eyeing each other with a glare that could've
killed a man right on his feet. Duo
gasped at the scene and realized that the new boy was also a vampire and by the
looks of him, a Lord One also.
"Stop this foolish
little play Wufei dear, it isn't leading us anywhere."
Heero never quit smiling while
circling with the vampire named Wufei, who had a terrible sneer on his
face. The room was dead silent, the
soft carpet muffling any sounds and Duo clenching his teeth to try and hold
back the small cries he had, watching his master and this new Lord Vampire
mentally wrestle. After interminable minutes
of glaring, both vampires finally stood down, Heero walking back to the bed and
pulling Duo in his embrace. The Lord
Vampire kissed his slave on the cheek before smiling back at Wufei.
"See, Duo is very
happy with me, we really go along well."
"Damn Yuy, can't you
get a point? Shut the fuck up!"
Heero sighed heavily and let go of
Duo's shoulder. The braided boy crawled
back on the bed and covered himself with the sheets. He felt empty inside, only his master's voice could fill that
void and when that happened, Duo felt so much colder than when he was
alone. He felt hot tears tickling the
side of his eyes and was surprised by them, unsure of why he was crying. In the passing weeks, he had learned to put
aside his feelings of hatred and despair, convinced that it would only make him
more vulnerable to Heero's repeated assaults. Now, he was lying alone in the cold bed and wanted nothing more than to
cry his heart out. He felt the weigh of
the last weeks' pains on his shoulders, pulling him down a dark tunnel in which
the only light was death. Duo sat on
the bed, watching Wufei and his Lord Vampire argue and completely shut them
out, letting his feelings seep out like a raging flood, filling him with despair. On his cheeks, the warm, moist touch of
tears covered his marked skin, creating a glistening trail down to his neck.
When he heard Duo weep, Heero
stopped in the middle of his sentence and hopped on the bed. In a flash, he was beside the braided boy,
encircling him in his arms. The Lord
Vampire turned his gaze to the Chinese boy, glaring at him as if he would
spontaneously make him combust.
"See now, you made Duo
cry. I can't seem to understand you
Wufei dear, you keep on hurting your closest friend's feelings over and over
again."
"ENOUGH!"
Wufei had screamed out, walking
quickly to the bed and snatched Duo out of Heero's grasp. The braided boy whimpered under the hard
pull and fell down onto his knees, still in tears.
"Wufei!"
"That's enough
Yuy! How can you play with humans like
this? How can you even allow yourself
to be such a monster!?"
While Wufei was speaking these
words, Duo saw his master's features twist in a horrible sneer, anger
transcending every gesture, every twitch of Heero's body and face. The Lord Vampire was getting more and more
mad, hearing to every word coming out of Wufei's mouth and using them to feed
his anger. Suddenly, the Chinese
vampire made a garb for Duo's hair to pull him up. The braided boy let out small scream and stood up, his head
tilted on one side under the stress of having his braid pulled to one side.
"Don't touch him…"
The Lord Vampire's voice was low,
like an animal's and he was dangerously still. Wufei snickered and pulled harder on Duo's braid to make him whimper
again, louder. Heero's nostrils were
flaring, his rage building like bushfire.
"Don't you like making
them suffer Yuy? Don't you like hearing
them scream?"
At that moment, the Chinese vampire
grabbed Duo's neck, pulling it to one side and sank his teeth deep in the boy's
flesh. The boy let out a loud scream
and trashed about, trying to force himself out of the other vampire's
grip. As Wufei tightened his grip on
the braided boy's hair, he started sucking the fresh blood, taking much
pleasure in Heero's decomposed face. When he felt his victim's energy drop to a certain level, the Chinese
vampire let the boy drop to the floor in a heap and whipped his mouth of the
few droplets of the red liquid that still stained it.
"Now-you-die."
The Lord Vampire jumped at impossible
speed on his counterpart, sending him crashing to the carpet in a loud
thud. The Chinese vampire kicked with
his legs and shifted his weigh so he had Heero pinned to the floor. Wufei gave Heero a large smile and bent down
to slap the vampire so hard his head shot to the side.
"Now don't 'you' enjoy
this Lord?"
"Many years away from
your kind has softened you Wufei dear. Let me show you what you left behind in the past decades."
Heero's body twisted at an
impossible angle under the body of the Chinese vampire until he was free from
his grasp. Before he could react, the
Lord Vampire jumped behind his attacker, gripping his head and giving it a hit,
snapping the neck clean. The Chinese
vampire fell to the side, his eyes wide in a mix of surprise and anger. Heero whipped his hands and spat on the
motionless body.
"You can never run
from your origins Wufei dear."
The Lord Vampire walked back to
Duo's unconscious form and swept him up in his arms. He took a glance at the bite mark on the side of his neck and
quickly set the vampire on the mattress.
"That little idiot has
been away too long. He can't even bite
properly. At least you will recover
from this."
Heero stood back up and sent a
mental call to Quatre and Trowa. In a
few instants, both vampires where standing in the room, waiting for their
master's wishes.
"Take this scum down
to the dungeons. When he awakens, call
me."
"Very well Lord Yuy."
The blonde vampire bowed down while
his companion picked Wufei's inanimate form from the floor. Heero slipped a few chestnut locks out of
Duo's eyes and gazed back at the Chinese vampire.
"One more thing pets,
prepare the girl."
