Authors note: Yep it's me! THANKYOU! To whoever reviewed this, I truly loved reading the reviews. Right, now apologies, I'm sooooo sorry I haven't written for ages I've been on holiday. Now, if this chapter is terrible, even more apologies as I have a semi writers block. Ok, chapter 4.
I woke the next morning to a servant bringing a tray into the room. It contained some sort of juice and a couple of rolls.
As I sat up, the servant gave a frightened sort of gibber, before stammering, "My lord, forgive me! Forgive me! I did not know you were awake, this unworthy one apologises."
"Hey, chill." I said, puzzled by the strange behaviour of this man. Why was he so scared? I mean, after all even if I was a…sorcerer that didn't make me bad…right?
Before I could utter another word the servant had fled.
Weird.
As I was climbing into a pair of silk trousers and a tunic (my other clothes seemed to have disappeared) Heero walked in.
"Hey!" I protested, "I might not have been dressed!"
He grinned slyly at me, but said nothing.
I narrowed my eyes and looked at him.
We stood like that, staring at one another for what felt like a small eternity, it probably wasn't more than a few seconds really. Before I could react, he took two steps towards me, and kissed me full on the lips. I was so surprised I couldn't move.
After a few seconds he released me, and, without another word, spun on his heel, and left the room.
I now had more to think about than what I was having for breakfast.
************
After I had recovered slightly from the shock of Heero (no I didn't call him emperor Yuy, don't ask me why, I just felt like I had known him forever already) I fell to contemplating what the kiss could have meant.
Did it mean he liked me? Was what he had said about a past life true then? How come I hadn't started getting those weird dreams until after I had heard about the Xian? And why, when he had kissed me, did I feel like kissing back with all my heart? I mean come on; I had only met the guy yesterday.
Suddenly I just wanted to run away from that place, as fast as possible.
But I didn't.
************
"Good morning your majesty." I said, as I walked into the…throne room.
He frowned, "Why so formal Duo?"
I gulped slightly before answering, "Formal your majesty?"
"Yes, all this "Majesty" stuff."
"Well I…" I trailed off, unsure what to say. See, in my…well, Heero's room I had worked out that, to avoid any more embarrassment, I would be really formal, and so Heero would feel that I shouldn't be his…friend.
Well it had seemed like a good plan at the time.
Now however, faced with Heero's startlingly blue eyes, I wasn't so sure.
These thoughts raced through my mind in practically a milli-second, and before replying, I carefully formulated the answer. "Well, I believe you ARE the emperor, and after all, I've only known you two days."
He stared at me for a couple of seconds, eyes filling with hurt, before he turned to the officials beside him. "Leave us alone." Was all he said, but they obeyed immediately.
Once they had left the room, he sat there, staring at me for a while, before slipping down from the throne and walking over to me. "Ok, I've got rid of the officials," he said, voicing my exact thoughts, "now what's the problem?"
I gulped and looked down, but cool fingers slipped under my chin, forcing me to look up. I stared into the cobalt blue eyes, and felt myself weakening as I looked into their cool, dark depths.
He smiled softly, as the fingers tilted my head back further. "Duo, why won't you trust me?"
I opened my mouth to reply, but before I could even blink, let alone allow any words to escape from between my lips, he was once more kissing me. Instead of remaining still as I had before, I found myself doing the exact opposite to what my head was telling me to do, I leant towards him, and, to my surprise, began kissing him back.
***********
It was extremely late, well early really. I had spent the whole day with Heero, learning about the city, the trading with the outside world, and the history.
History.
Earlier, after the second kiss, Heero had explained all about the cities legends, and I was not surprised to learn he was one.
He had been, well still was, the Dragon Emperor of this underground land. Apparently he had once ruled over china as well, but a group of monks who had opposed him, had defeated him in the final battle. However, before he had died, his sorcerer (me) had placed a spell on him, saying, that if he (well alright I) ever came seeking the dagger once more, the Emperor would be made living again.
So this prophecy had come true, as I had come looking for the Xian.
Ok you say, how on earth could you believe all this made up junk? Well, truth be told, it wasn't made up.
It was real.
I had never been more sure of that in my life. You see, there was something about Heero, which said he didn't lie, and to me, in my job, you trust your instincts.
There was also the fact that he had turned into a dragon.
Now you must think I'm really crazy, however, I am not.
Before my eyes, he turned into a large dark red dragon, with scales like large razors, and fangs. I was scared witless; the only thing that kept me from running away was the fact that it was…my Heero… under all that.
Maybe I really am crazy.
Now, I'm sitting here, thinking all these thoughts, brain whizzing in a hundred different directions at once my mind confused and worried.
I don't know what's real anymore.
Authors note: Aaaaaargh! Embarrassment! Sorry about the terribly bad writing for the romance bit in the middle, I'm really bad a writing things like that. But I'll try and improve. Now, I'm starting to lose my writers block, so part 5 should be out any time soon, meanwhile, don't go away…….hello?…… hello? (no sound is heard)
