Author's Notes: Getting there...... Okay, seriously, this story is beginning to get into the more action orientated parts. More Fights, More Duo (hehehe) and maybe it'll make more sense. Finally, Heero's part introduced! The prophecy itself is about to become more prominent.



Prophecy: part 5



"Uhhh" Quatre groaned quietly as Trowa lowered him onto his bed. "Shh, you did well." "What.." He started to ask before Trowa covered his lips with his hand, "The battle is over, Duo is safe." Quatre smiled and began to drift off into unconsciousness as Trowa began to patch up his injuries. Wufei watched from the door as Trowa moved the Blonde's head slightly and pulled back his shirt. "Trowa? What happened?" Trowa looked to the shadow in the door. "He got bitten." Wufei cursed under his breath and walked forward to the taller boy. He took the cloth he was holding to the wound and looked at the amount of blood.


Duo entered the mansion and walked up the stairs. He trudged past the door to Quatre's room and frowned, something wasn't right. He put his ear against the door and listened. "It's okay, I can stop the bleeding." He heard Wufei say before Trowa growled. "I should have stopped it sooner." Wufei interrupted, "it's not much blood, I think the fight wore him out more." Duo listened from the doorway until he heard a wimper of pain. Quatre. He gasped and kicked the door in, thinking the worst. On the bed, lay Quatre, Wufei and Trowa, backs to Duo, leaning over the blonde. Trowa immediately turned, already in fighting stance when he was attacked by a dark figure with braid flying behind him. Duo struck out with a fist as Trowa blocked, and Wufei gathered the blonde in his arms, unable to tell what demon was attacking the other boy. Duo watched as Wufei picked the smaller boy up easily and try to exit the room. "No!" he snarled, yanking the blonde from his grip, and turning away, "I won't let you hurt him anymore." Wufei was stunned, not only had the braided fool avoided Trowa, he'd stolen his blonde charge. "Maxwell? what in heaven's name are you doing?" He exploded, his Katana in hand. Duo growled as his eyes flashed. "You, Wufei, and you Trowa, I would never have guessed. Why'd you hurt him huh? 'Cause he couldn't fight back?" Trowa chuckled slightly, remembering the battles he'd fought with the boy, the training he'd been so close to losing his head at the other's tenacity and faced Duo. "Duo. I swear, I would never harm Quatre, he would kill me first." A gun being cocked at the door stopped all discussion. Heero turned his cobalt eyes on the three conscious pilots', "What's going on?" Duo took this opportunity and retreated behind the pilot of Wing Zero. "Duo?" he asked, standing in front of the other, protecting both Duo and the blonde in his arms. "They bit him." Duo said, and watched as Heero's eyes narrowed. "You're Vampires?" His voice dripped ice and the two stepped back intinctively. Trowa blinked before facing Heero. "You know of Vampires?" Heero nodded shortly, "I am a Watcher."
