"So what now?" Heero asked, looking directly at the red-haired youth in front of him.

"Nothing. You go back, celebrate with Relena and the rest of humanity that the war is over, try living a semi-normal life." Wufei snorted behind Heero, while both Quatre and Trowa looked on with quiet expressions.

"And you?" Heero asked, his shuttered expression never moving. The other boy smiled, somewhat disconcertingly.

"I'll be around." He answered simply.

"But we won't see you." Heero stated, and the other smiled knowingly.

"No." He agreed. "But don't worry about me. You have an exhausting few days ahead of you. I suggest you get some sleep. The red-head told them, nodding towards the other pilots. Nobody moved. Another smile spread across his face, and with a quick movement, he stepped forward and pressed his lips to those of Heero's. Heero stiffened in shock as he felt the soft lips on his own, and a warm tongue darting out to run over his lips before somehow gaining access to his mouth. The tongue ran through his mouth briefly, it's silkiness gone before he could react, yet not fast enough to belay the shiver that shocked up his spine. When he stepped back, Heero noticed somewhere in the back of him mind that the other's eyes were not longer a bright green but a kind of aqua-crystalline blue. And then he was gone, disappeared like a vapor, except that this time, Heero knew he wasn't standing outside. All that was left were words, which floated in the air before dissipating after their owner.

"I'll be back. When you need me."

Looking down, Heero stared blankly at his chest, before a hand moved up in an almost involuntary motion, and clasped the golden crucifix that now hung around his neck.



Authors note: First off, Please, Please review! Thankx to those (all 4 of you, lol) that did!

A couple of people asked for more, and I had thought about it before... but truthfully, I wrote the story originally as just a one shot that ended where the second part left off. BUT I had entertained ideas of what I could do with a Death-Duo thing, and I thought it might be interesting to try and continue it. However, I don't know when I'll be able to write/post any futher parts. I'll work on it, but I'm horrible with deadlines! Sorry!

BTW- if your looking for a great 1+2, go read mitsugi's Brindlewood Mannor. Absolutely fabulous writing and a very involved plot line.
