Author's Notes: Remember when the Queen said she shared her abilities with the Slayer?


Thankyou to those who reviewed, especially to Brown Eyes, your review came at a time I needed it most. Thankyou for inspiring me to post more.



Prophecy:Part 8 a




The Queen growled in frustration. "Damn that Slayer!! He would rather risk death than give up his powers. Dammit!!!" She ranted and raved, knocking over the pillars and elaborate decorations that adorned her throne room. "I'm going to kill all of them now Blondie! All because of you!" She let out a sigh and turned to her favourite henchmen, "Bring the Slayer and the Warrior here."

Duo became aware of a strange floating feeling. He tried to open his eyes and found he couldn't. "Wake up Duo" A voice was insisting. "g'way" Duo managed, and tried to roll over, only to find, he wasn't laying down. "Huh?" he asked, opening his eyes. "Where am I?" he asked, looking around, remembering the afternoon. "Where is everyone else? Is Quatre okay? What did he do?" The same voice chuckled, "Duo, you are alive and well, Quatre is alive and will be fine, The others are safe." Duo narrowed his eyes as he placed the voice. "You!" he growled, trying to see. The voice chuckled again, "I'm sorry Duo, But we are in your sub conscious, you're stuck with me for a while." Duo rolled his eyes. "I don't want you here, leave." The voice sighed, "I wish I could Duo, but Quatre sent me here for a reason. The Queen must be stopped, and you alone, isn't enough." "I'm alone?" Duo thought, fear running through him. "But, Quatre, I thought he needed you to stay alive." The voice was silent a minute before answering, "He does. He is strong enough now to remain in a comatose state, but with the Queen trying to tap his empathy, that may not last. He needs the Queen's power to return to full health." Duo growled again, "Fine, I'll work with you, but only to save Quatre."

Heero was alarmed, ever since Quatre had made some type of spell, Duo had been unconscious, and Quatre was in a coma. Unsure of what that meant, he was frustrated beyond belief. Trowa was silently watching his charge sleep, a frown on his face. A groaning from the bed beside Quatre got their attention and Duo sat up, clutching his head, "I'm only doing this for Quatre" He mumbled to seemingly himself. "Duo?" Heero asked, standing next to the boy. Duo turned his brown eyes on Heero and he frowned, "Duo doesn't have brown eyes. His eyes are violet." The same thought occured to Trowa and the blood in his face drained, before he turned back to the blonde boy. "No, Quatre, you didn't." Duo swung his legs off the bed and faced the tallest pilot, "Yep, he did."

Duo walked forward to the bed holding his friend and fearfully took hold of his hand, "I promise you Q, I won't give up, ever. The Queen is as good as dust." Duo blinked as a small smile crossed his unconscious friends face. "I promise.." he mumbled again before a crash from somewhere in the mansion caught the three pilots' attention. Wufei's yell alerted them to another presence, "Get Back Demon!!" Duo looked to the other pilots' and silently led them out to Wufei. As soon as the trio had left, a vampire entered through a window and looked to the unconscious blonde. "Too easy." it snarled, lifting a hand to the pale boy's throat......
