They laid there in the green grass. Gazing up at the night sky. Her head was in his lap and he was stroking her hair. She looked up at him and noticed a chain around his neck.
"What's that?" she said pointing to the chain around his neck
"Oh this? This is a cross that one of the nuns gave me, I never took it off. I all ways thought that if they cared enough too feed me all those years I could wear the cross they gave me..."
"All those years?" she said in amazement
"Yup, every time a foster home sent me back, they would keep me. The loved me because I was funny and I was good in math" Duo said to her. She closed her eyes and imagined him as a little kid with his bags of clothes returning back to the nuns. "They would always pin my mittens to my coat..." He said mistily
"What does the cross mean?" She asked him
"It's a crucifix. I don't know exactly. It's Jesus hanging to boards in agony, Buts it's a reminder..."
"Of what?"
"That evils all around and you got to be strong to defeat it..." His eyes turned cold, "The bible is a story book, and it's funny about time." His blue eyes softened "People living until 10,000 years, babies at 40, the universe in 6 days... But its not a calendar it's a book of lessons, And I bet sister Helen told me all of them twice at bed time...." He got teary eyed at the thought of this woman who was like a mother too him... She decided to change the subject
" What does it say about wars?"
"It really says nothing about wars, But I can say that when ever there's one the leaders always say that gods on their side, but there in is no god in war, there is only an angel, the Shi no Tenshi, the angel of death there" She looked at him in the eyes and saw so many feeling jumbled inside him so she did the only thing she could do, She gave him a kiss on the lips and just hugged him, for she was his now, to erase all the past hurts and to write a new future for the two
