Blood bond, the shortest chapter...









-FLASHBACK-

Duo watched Heero from the corner of his eye as he filled the skins.

"You know, I was thinking that maybe should make a packed or something.."

"...."

"To make sure neither of us goes to far away or something...or-"

"Good idea. You don't have to make excuses, I feel the same way. For some reason it seems words are not enough. Maybe a traditional bond."

"The only traditional bond I know of is a dancing one, and a few with words, but they are only words."

"There is the blood binding."

"Yeah."

--

end flashback (not that there was much)

--

"Hey Heero, what do you think about making that binding that we talked about."

Heero's grip tightened. He nodded and stood, Duo stood also. They walked to the tent where Duo had received the energy transfer to talk and do the binding.











Once inside the tent the two men were at something of a loss. Neither of them had ever done the binding by themselves- it was always the other bind-y doing the steps.

"So... Heero," started Duo as he sat down near the twigs. "I guess we should improvise."

Heero nodded.

There was a pause.

"Um... I've only done this once, it was with Quatre. We sliced each others palms and held hands till they dried. It was, rather painful though."

Heero nodded agian.

There was another pause.

Duo glared at Heero.

"I was thinking, Duo."

"Oh- of corse, that explains everything."

Pause.

"I have done this once, also. With Trowa... we sliced the palm and drew our symbols on the back of each others hands, then pressed the symbols together."

"Wow, drawing your symbols, that's really personal."

Pause.

"How about if we combine the two?" Duo prodded.

"Cut palms, draw the symbols, hold hands. Sounds simple enough."

Duo drew one of his daggers from his pouch holding it in his right hand.

"Cut the left or right? Hmmm...I write with my right, so I should cut my left." With that said, he placed the tip of the magic dagger to his palm and sliced it. True to his pride, he did not wince.

Heero nodded, took the dagger from the offering hand, and ran its sharp side along his palm, a perfect line appeared. Duo smiled at him as he gathered some of his own precious liquid onto his finger to draw his symbol on Heero's hand. Heero did the same and clasped their hands togther, he allowed Duo to draw first. A simple version of the original most likely, a square inside another tilted one, inside another, with an X connecting the largest square to the middle.

Heero glance at Duo with a slight smile before starting his own drawing. Heero's symbol was a bit more complex to draw. It started on the left side with a small stick figure of a person with no arms, there were four more half drawn figures behind it to the right, after images if you will.

With the blood drying quickly on the back of their hands, they watched each other carefully. Duo smiled suddenly when a warmth passed through his entire body, and settled in his chest. Heero must have felt the same for he smiled too. Another strange thing happened then, a white glow appeared around their symbols and they disappeared into the skin. Heero lifted his eyebrows slightly at it while Duo touched his hand in wonder. Both glanced at each other then at their hands, still clasped together.

"That," Started Duo, voice sounding husky. "did not happen with Quatre."

"Neither with Trowa." Heero stated after a moment.

Duo gasped out loud when a searing pain centered where Heero's Symbol was and grasped his hand harder. Heero's other hand balled into a fist at the same pain from where Duo's had been, and mummer-ed his surprise when a slight scar formed.

Both stared at their hands in wonder before pulling apart. They were still covered in dry blood but both hands were healed with out scaring from Heero's power, and Heero felt rejuvenated from Duo's. He could also see the slight outline of Duo's Aura.

"That was interesting." said Heero in wonder.

"Yeah, my senses are intense right now. And I feel... stronger."

"I can... see your aura."

"Wow, really? That happened with Quatre to, means, maybe, we lent each other parts of our-"

"Yuy! Maxwell!" interrupted Wufei from outside the tent. "Im coming in there."

Duo and Heero did not move but watched the door as Wufei came in. When he stepped through, Duo gasped at the blood covered clothing and the raised sword, also covered in blood. Wufei scanned the interior carefully, keeping silent. He glanced at the two figures on the floor and did a doble take when he noticed the blood. He smiled and lowered his sword.

"Sorry to interrupt such a personal moment, my friends, but the thieves spoke of 'the two newcomers to my clan that must be destroyed 'fore they wreak havoc on the world beneath the white tree of peace and destroy all that the Bright Goddess hath done'. I thought you might want to know that, you are the only newcomers to my clan, no one heard but I, and I personally hope you set out to destroy the 'Bright goddess', she is not what she appears to be."

There was a pause as Duo and Heero digested the.. Large amount of information.

"Agian, I apologize, but, they also said that a few had not been captured, so I felt the need to check on you."

"Ah.. So... we are supposedly going to destroy the Bright Goddess, eh?"

"I never did worship her, or deceitful ways." Wufei spat 'Deceitful' out with hatred.

"She is an idiot." Stated Heero.

Both of the others turned to him.

"You know her?" Asked Duo.

"Yes, I .. I was to be a 'sacrifice' from the clan."

"But, Men sacrifices are.." Wufei trailed off.

"They are, part of a harem, to the Goddess, aren't they?" finished Duo.

".... yes, she had chosen me out of the thousands of warriors in my clan. I.. I could not let my self do that, so I said 'Kill me and I shall have no say in the matter, or let me leave so she will not punish you and I will still have my Freedom.'"

"Being the Chiefs son, helped, I bet. Im glad you didn't go through with it

Heero glanced at Duo with a suffering look.

"On to other things.. I don't want to talk about it."

Duo and Heero both cleaned there hands carefully then stood to leave with Wufei. Duo stopped and stared at Wufei though.

"Wufei, we were.. We did.. Create a blood bond." Heero glances and smiles at Duo before turning to Wufei, Duo continues. "We would be bonded with you as well, if you wanted..."

Wufei turned to them with a stunned look.

"No one has ever asked before, my friends... but I would be honored." Duo smiled and Heero offered the dagger to him. Wufei shook his head and used on of his own, then handed it to Heero.

"That dagger represents your bond, this will represent mine." Heero shook his head slightly but smiled and swiped the dagger a-crossed his hand. He clasped hands with the proud clan leader and handed the dagger to Duo. Duo did the same and carefully slit Wufei's other palm. They held hands until Hero's healing ability had spread through them all.

Each carefully removed their hands and cleaned them. Soon they were talking of plans to travel together.



Later





the three men come out of the tent, with one insanely smiling and the two others just looking happy. Rumors spread throughout the camp... their taciturn leader had finally found lovers... he would be more lenient now that he was satisfied... that the braided one replaced the other two with pod people... well, you get the idea. Anyway, everyone was joyous that Wufei now wasn't so lonely and sad, and it showed in the faces of anyone they passed.

After a few days of traveling with the clan, it was time for them to separate.

"Don't worry, Wu-man! I'll take care of Hee-cha-"

"We will be at the meeting point in 4 weeks. But we aren't leaving until tomorrow." Heero says as he takes his hand from over Duo's mouth. "And don't call me that, Baka." Duo mumbled and plopped to the ground.

"Yes, later tonight we will have a long talk in my tent, I will share my story, and might learn about yours. I do not expect it all."

Heero patted Duo's head and nodded at Wufei.

"Until tonight, then. We have to get supply's for our trip."

"Tonight."





Duo: what kind of crappy short chapter was that?

Wufei: and why did it take you so long, onna?

Quatre: where am I and Trowa?

Trowa: and are we together yet?

Heero: When is the rating going to match the story?

Duo: anxious koi?

Heero: *Growls sexily*

*pause*

*pause*(all dust off soot from cloths)

*pause*

Trowa: was she kicked off or something?

Duo: must be a problem with her computer.

Wufei: weak onna and her weak computer.

Heero:... when we do find her, I want her to work on the other story.

Duo: mm hmm

Quatre: Shesh, why isn't she into 3x4?

*all walk away from computer complaining*
