Part 8

Duo and Heero nodded slowly and Heero opened his mouth to bring up the subject of what to do with Quatre's body when Trowa's visible eye narrowed. All three turned toward the mirror in surprise, Heero inching back toward his dagger which lay on the ground while Duo's eyes crackled with energy. Trowa crouched slightly, ready to jump forward.

Wufei stepped completely through the mirror and immediately grabbed the wall for support as his broken leg wobbled painfully. "I don't… want to fight you." He choked out with a pained look. "Duo-sama." He added as he slid to sit on the ground and leaned against the wall, taking deep breaths.

"Duo-sama?" Duo repeated in wonder.

Wufei nodded. "You killed Quatre, in accordance to the rules you are now our lord."

Duo shook his head. "But Heero was the one who killed him," he protested.

Wufei nodded once again. "True, but we can't very well have a human ruling us now can we? Thus you are the lord and not Heero."

"I see," Duo murmured quietly. "And what happens to them?"

At that Wufei smirked. "You are king, Duo-sama, you decide."

**

Duo sighed quietly as the large amount of fae left the room. It had taken almost all day to get into the strange foreign clothing and to wait for them all to show up so Wufei could explain what happened to Quatre and how Duo was now their lord. Mostly it was all formal and boring as hell, but it was required. So Duo sat in the obsidian throne in the palace above the waterfall with Heero and Trowa at his sides while Wufei acted as his royal advisor or something like that. Despite Wufei's threat before to rip out Duo's throat he had apparently undergone a change of heart, which was a good thing for Duo and Heero.

Duo had healed Wufei's legs, after Heero helped set them. What surprised Duo the most was that Heero didn't even flinch as Duo used his powers to heal Wufei. And considering there were two legs to be fixed it took a lot more then a kiss, but not too much more.

And now the room was finally emptying and all the ceremony was over. As the last of the fae representatives left the room Trowa walked around the throne and bowed in front of Duo.

"Thank you, for your protection."

The first decree Duo had made, as lord of the fae, was that Trowa and Heero had his complete protection. That meant that no fae were to touch them, no matter what. Duo grinned. "You don't need to bow, jeez I'm gonna get enough of that as it is now. Trowa, please don't."

Trowa nodded and stood back up.

"And now," Duo said with a sigh. "I need a long nap."

Heero smirked quietly. "I'll escort you to your quarters, my lord." He added the last part as a joke, and it caused Duo to roll his eyes at him good-naturedly.

"Meanwhile, I'll see what can be done about Quatre's body." Wufei added.

Trowa glanced to him. "I'll go with you."

The two left the room without another word, as Duo jumped off the throne and headed down the hall, Heero by his side.

They moved through the long winding halls of the palace until they finally came to a large oak door. Heero still marveled at the mastery of the palace. The entire structure was made of uninterrupted crystal, almost as if magic had been used to make the castle grow out of the crystals semi-naturally. Then again, that's probably how it was created, he reflected. Still, as interesting as the palace was there was one more thing in his sight that intrigued him more: Duo.

Every other time Heero had seen Duo he'd been wearing a simple white shift that simply served to cover his body, nothing more. Yet now he wore a completely different outfit, one that didn't just cover but actually served to emphasize every turn and curve of his very… healthy body. Duo wore an outfit much like Quatre had worn, but that did not dampen the effect in any way. It had taken all of Heero's will power to stand there looking at him all after noon as Wufei addressed the other fae, when all Heero had really wanted to do was take Duo to a private room and take those clothes off him, slowly.

Duo wore a pair of tight fitting black pants that slipped into knee high black boots. Covering his chest was a simple black top; loose like the shift yet it stopped at his waist and was loose enough to show off the perfectly formed chest beneath. His hair had been pulled back into a long braid which moved around behind him like the tail of a cat, as if it had a mind of it's own. As a final accessory Duo had been given a long cloak made of shimmering violet feathers that perfectly matched his eyes. Yet, unlike Quatre's cloak, these feathers were the softest thing Heero had ever touched.

Duo yawned quietly as he entered the large room, stretching he glanced around and gave a low whistle. "Wow, I never realized exactly what I was missing by refusing to live in the palace with my brother. I'm beat."

Heero smirked again and walked up behind Duo, reaching slowly around his shoulders to search for the clasp to the cloak. Purposely he let his fingers dance over Duo's neck as he pretended to not be able to find the clasp. Duo closed his eyes and leaned his head back slowly as Heero finally grasped the clasp and undid it, dropping the cloak to the ground. He took a step forward and wrapped his arms around Duo, but Duo immediately stiffened in his arms.

"Heero… we can't." He whispered sadly.

Heero set his chin on Duo's shoulder, near his ear and frowned. "Why?" he asked quietly. Even as he spoke he felt Duo's power, just slightly though, like a small shock of static electricity it made the hair on the back of his neck stand on end.

Duo sighed. "We can't because I'll end up killing you. I don't want that to happen."

Heero tightened his embrace around Duo and kissing him on the nape of the neck, causing the new fae lord to shiver. On a whim Heero licked a small line down the side of Duo's neck. Duo moaned softly and leaned his head back onto Heero's shoulder, his eyes shut in pleasure.

"Heero…" He tried to pull slowly out of Heero embrace but Heero held tight, refusing to let go.

"I don't care," Heero whispered softly in Duo's ear. "I want to be with you."

Duo's shoulders slumped and he successfully pulled away this time. Turning he faced Heero with sad eyes. "I don't want to hurt you. You don't know how hard it is, I have to stay in control the entire time."

Heero's expression remained soft. "I trust you Duo. I know you wouldn't hurt me." Heero leaned forward and wrapped his arms around Duo, holding him tight. "Please trust yourself," he whispered into Duo's ear. He smiled softly and nibbled softly at the end of Duo's pointed ear. Duo responded by quickly wrapping tight arms around Heero, pulling their bodies together.

"Heero…" Duo swallowed. "You're not helping me here."

"Trust yourself. I trust you." Heero repeated. With those words his hands slid down and grasped Duo's bottom, pulling them together so their arousals brushed together. Both let out twin gasps of pleasure and surprise and at that second Duo's eyes seemed to light up with a strange light. He took a deep breath and locked eyes with Heero, the worry and hunger plain on his face.

"Are you sure?" he breathed, just below a whisper.

Heero nodded.

With that consent Duo's hands slid down Heero's back and undid the leather belt, letting it fall to the ground with a clatter of the dagger hitting the crystal floor. As Duo's hands slid down farther and gasped the end of Heero's now loose tunic Heero let himself be pushed back toward the large bed which was also made of soft feathers. Duo tugged at the tunic, pulling it over Heero's head and dropped it to the ground. Both froze for a moment, time seeming to stop as the slightly cold air rushed over Heero's now exposed skin, making him shiver. Duo's violet eyes traveled over Heero's light skin and he lightly smiled as he pushed Heero back onto the bed.

"I love you," he murmured.

Heero smiled back and laid upon the bed, closing his eyes in wonder as his naked body sank into the softness. Opening his eyes a second later he watch with soft short breaths as Duo pulled off the loose top and rid himself of the skin tight black pants. Climbing onto the bed Duo straddled Heero and just sat there for a moment, staring at each other. A smirk grew on Duo's lips and he moved forward slowly, rubbing their hard arousals together. Heero moaned in pleasure and reached up, grasping Duo's shoulder, pulling him down into a kiss.

Duo's tongue dove into Heero's mouth hungrily and Heero didn't even consider stopping him. Instead their tongues moved together as Heero felt Duo's energy surround him. The two kissed hungrily, attempting to kiss the other so deeply that they became one being, refusing to stop. Duo's power surrounded Heero like a solid force; almost feeling like water except it wasn't wet. For a second Heero's heart stopped with fear but he quickly recovered as he realized the power wasn't doing anything. He was being drained and yet he wasn't receiving any energy from Duo. Duo must have noticed his pause, for he pulled out of the kiss and locked eyes with Heero in a confused expression.

"Are you all right?"

Heero nodded.

Duo blinked. "Odd… I can feel my power growing, but it's not coming from you."

"Duo," Heero said in a low voice. "You're destroying the mood."

Duo looked at him in surprise for a second then laughed. "Oh I am?" He joked. "Well, I think I can fix that." Duo leaned forward and licked a deliciously wet circle around one of Heero's nipples. Heero gasped quietly, his complaint completely forgotten. Duo chuckled and moved their hips together as he continued to tease Heero with his tongue. "No complaints now I see."

Heero grunted an affirmative, which melted into a small yelp as Duo's hand wrapped around his length, moving up and down slowly.

Heero moaned and arched his back, trying to send a hint to not stop. He wanted Duo's hand to move faster, and to definitely not stop at all. Duo's hand moved up and down slowly, sending waves of pleasure through Heero's body as he'd never felt before. With his eyes closed his entire world consisted of those waves of pleasure from Duo's hand and tongue. He couldn't help but whimper as Duo's hand disappeared.

But he didn't have long to complain, he didn't even have long enough to open his eyes between the time Duo's hand disappeared and he suddenly felt his hardness surrounded by wet warmth. A tongue flickered teasingly across the top of his cock and Heero choked out a startled sound. Without opened his eyes he reached forward and tangled his hands in Duo's hair as Duo began to move his head up and down.

The waves of pleasure increased and Heero found himself moaning constantly, moving his hips up in an attempt to make Duo move faster. It was amazing, what it felt like. And all the while the feel of himself in Duo's warm mouth and the strange crackling energy growing around them and filling the air. Duo picked up his speed and Heero tangled his fingers in further, holding tightly onto his fae lover's hair. Suddenly Heero felt a new sensation, one of Duo's fingers probing tentatively at the puckered opening of his bottom. Heero gasped and cried out as the finger entered and at the same time Duo picked up speed, and he wrapped his tongue around Heero. With a cry Heero let loose into Duo's mouth and dropped back into the feathers, his body throbbing with pleasure.

Heero opened his eyes to hazy unfocused sight. As it came into view he found Duo grinning down at him. Heero opened his mouth to take a deep breath but Duo smirked and darted forward, seizing his mouth in a deep kiss of passion. Heero closed his eyes again and reveled in the sensation of Duo's tongue exploring his mouth hungrily. His eyes flew open a second later and he yelped in surprise as he felt Duo's finger near his opening again. Heero's locked eyes with Duo.

"May I," Duo asked huskily, his finger dancing around the edge to emphasize his point.

Heero leaned his head back. "Please," he moaned.

Duo leaned down and kissed him again, but this time it was a soft kiss, full of tenderness and love. Heero kissed back softly, his hands reaching up to wrap around Duo tightly. As they kissed Duo gently pushed the finger in, stretching Heero's entrance as the finger moved in and out. He added a second finger and then a third, each one causing Heero to embrace him tighter and moan quietly into the kiss.

Heero broke off the kiss to breath quickly as the, now four, fingers moved in and out of his body. The waves of pleasure had returned and he held Duo tightly with halfway closed eyes as he let the sensations take over his body. It was wonderful, feeling like he was floating through the air on wings of pleasure. He didn't want it to stop, not now, not ever. All he wanted to do was fly like this for the rest of time, he couldn't think of anything feeling better then this.

Duo's fingers disappeared and he took Heero in his arms, lifting the human boy up and positioning him just right. "Ready?" Duo whispered softly in Heero's ear, nibbling softly at the edge.

Heero moaned. "Duo… please…"

At those words Duo slid in. Heero gasped at the small wave of pain that shot through his body, surprised. The fingers had hurt a little, but not too much. But this… this was so much bigger it did hurt. Heero breathed deeply as Duo stayed still, allowing him to get used to the sensation. The pain faded and then Duo began to move, to slowly pull himself out. Pleasure and more pain, but this time it was the pain of loss. Heero didn't want Duo to pull out. He moved his body, trying to prevent Duo from leaving his body, but couldn't. Duo pulled out almost all the way, then pushed back in, fast.

Heero gasped as his world seemed to explode into liquid pleasure. His eyes were shut but, as Duo moved in and out of him, the friction rolled pleasure over him in new heights. The insides of his eyelids seemed to explode with bright purple and Heero cried out as the sensation rocketed through his body. Suddenly Duo hit that spot inside of him, causing everything to melt into pure sensation. Heero stopped thinking and everything but the sensations themselves stopped. He couldn't feel the bed under him, he was floating, and he couldn't feel the power in the air any more, all he was aware of was Duo within him, around him… part of him.

It was as if their two souls seemed to twist together, changing from two separate beings to one being, one soul. The perfect companions merging together into one. Heero gasped as Duo's hand wrapped around his once again hard length and began to stroke it into with his thrusts. Each movement sent them both higher and Duo's moans joined Heero's as the two moved in rhythm.

Duo hit that one spot, over and over again, each time causing Heero to cry out with pleasure. Then, he hit it once more, fast and hard and that was it. Heero cried out loudly as his body clamped down and he exploded over Duo's hand. His body clamped tight around Duo and Duo cried out a split-second later, filling Heero with his own seed. Both released together and dropped to the bed. Duo pulled himself out and laid down next to Heero, eyes closed and taking deep breaths as the afterglow floated over their bodies.

The two lay there silently, listening to the other breath softly, their bodies hot and wet with sex and sweat. After a moment Duo opened his eyes and lifted his hand, brushing Heero's bangs from his eyes. Heero didn't respond.

"Heero?" Duo asked softly, sliding his hand down Heero's cheek. Taking Heero's tunic from the side of the bed he wiped them both off then looked down at his love. His heart leapt into his throat as he realized Heero still hadn't responded to him. Ignoring his exhausted body's complaints he sat up. "Heero!"

Heero's eyes opened slowly and met Duo's, then a slow satisfied smile crossed his face.

Duo dropped back down with a sigh of relief. "Please don't scare me like that. I thought I'd… you'd…"

Heero rolled onto his side and hugged Duo tightly. "No worries, love." He spoke softly. "I'm not going anywhere."

"I'm glad. I love you Heero." Duo wrapped his arms around Heero and snuggled his head into Heero's chest.

Heero smiled and held him tight. "And I, you, Duo."

**

Wufei entered the mirror cave and frowned, peering around. His eyebrows lifted in surprise as he saw that there wasn't a body, the cavern was empty.

"Is something wrong?" Trowa asked quietly from behind him.

"The body," Wufei said in a low growl. "It's gone."

Trowa stepped forward, in front of Wufei and peered around the cavern. Turned back to Wufei he locked eyes with the shapeshifter. Wufei took a step back as he noticed Trowa's cold expressionless face. Wufei's eyes flickered around the cave in a kind of panic as he was filled with an unexplainable fear.

"Trowa…?" He growled softly in question.

"I'm afraid you're mistaken," Trowa said with an innocent face. "The body is right behind you, you must have missed it."

Wufei breathed a sigh of relief, scolding himself for being afraid of the human boy for a second. He turned in the direction Trowa had indicated. Suddenly something cold broke the skin in his chest. Wufei coughed and finished turning to find himself facing Quatre who stood before him, his eyes glowing with silver power.

"Quatre… sama…" Wufei choked out as he dropped to the ground, the iron dagger protruding from his heart and chest.

Quatre smiled sweetly down at him. "You betrayed me Wufei, you sided with my brother."

"But… you were dead…" Wufei coughed painfully, blood appearing in his hand.

Quatre giggled softly. "I am very much alive as you can see. How ever, it is too bad I can't say the same for you." Quatre knelt down and wrapped his hand around the hilt of the dagger. "Good night Wufei." And he twisted the dagger.

Wufei let out a cry of pain as the dagger cut into his heart and his body slumped to the ground, bleeding and dead. Quatre stood up and wiped his bloodied hands against the white lace of his shirt, adding Wufei's blood to the stain of his own blood surrounding his now healed throat. He walked slowly over to Trowa. As Quatre neared him Trowa knelt into a low bow.

"My lord," he said with a smile.

"Trowa, you played your part beautifully." Quatre reached down and ran a hand over the human boy's face, the part which had been damaged by his powers. At Quatre's touch the skin immediately reknitted together and healed, as if nothing had ever happened. Trowa stood back up and smiled at Quatre. Leaning forward the two kissed, deeply and passionately.

"My lord," Trowa said, breaking the kiss a few minutes later. "What about them?"

Quatre shrugged. "My brother and his human lover? Let them play. We'll let them have their night of fun. After all, right now it serves me better if they think I am dead."

"As you wish it."

Quatre smirked quietly. "Let them sleep tonight. The time for revenge will come soon enough."

The end.
