Part Three : Prussian Blue Jewel
He should let him go but recently he found that he couldn't... and he didn't know why...
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
At the west wing on a white marble balcomy of the castle known as 'La Route du
Roi'(1), the raven haired demon was standing against the mild wind. He was deep
in his vicious thoughts as his lips curved into a wicked grin...
"What are you thinking Wufei?" the unibanged angel asked, sneaking his arms
around his lover's waist tenderly.
"Nothing, Trowa." Wufei turned to him and nuzzled the base of Trowa's neck.
Trowa buried his hand in the thread of black hair and was lost in the sensation
when Wufei gave him a little bite... He moaned, and it was the sign of
surrender. Wufei smirked and drew back to kiss those lips that were his...
On the aerial view of balcony, Quatre peeked from behind his own tiny hands, his
entire face and his ears were glowing red... "Wh... What was that?"
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In the King's Chamber...
"Quatre?" Odin called out... No response...
"Quatre!"
"Yes, My Lord, I'm sorry!" His apologized, his face still flushed pink.
"What's wrong?"
"Nothing, My Lord!"
"You aren't good at lying. Tell me."
Quatre didn't know how to describe the things he'd seen but he had to tell the
King now... "I... I saw your advisors... er..."
"So...?"
Quatre's face now glowed red "They kissed!!" he blurted out.
"There's nothing wrong with kissing a girl. You're too innocent." Odin sat down
and took a sip of wine.
"But they didn't kiss a girl, they kissed EACH OTHER!"
Odin was stunned by those words, his hand froze on it's way to his mouth. "Are
you sure?"
"Yes..." Quatre said as he droped his head in shame.
He let out a heavy sigh. Nowadays, Angels and Demons didn't accept any kind or
relationship between each other. Compared to the old days, sometimes they lived
happily together. It was because of the missing 'Heart of Virtue'(2)... but why
were his advisors attracted to each other? They were both male. He didn't
understand.
"Quatre." He paused and continued, "Do you know what would happen if anyone knew
this?"
"That will be quite a big problem, My Lord. Even cross-race relations between a
male and female are bad enough."
"I'm glad you understand that. But, at least this didn't cause anybody else
problems. We will just let this go, are we clear?"
"If you say so, My Lord."
"Quatre, I called you today because..." He paused; maybe even hesitated... 'Am I
hesitating? No, I'm a King. How can I...', "Do you remember the hybird child 10
years ago?"
"Yes, his name was Duo."
"I want you to go see him."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
In the center of the deep forest, the silent beauty was facing the usual
darkness of his room. The candle light and the fire from the stone fireplace was
dancing as the cool wind entered. Duo looked up from his book and moved to shut
the wood windows. He hoped the weather wouldn't be as bad as it was last year.
He remembered the cool icy substance called 'snow' had covered the entire
forest. It was a breath-taking sight... everything turned white; those green
leaves, those brown branches and also the air from his breath too, but yet it
was cruel at the same time. He still felt the tip of his hands and feet as they
shivered and ran out of feeling. He was lucky that he had learned to sew and was
able to make more garments so he wouldn't end up dead in the hell called
'coldness'. He made a mental note that he should prepare for this year too.
Duo was about to reach the windows when he noticed something glowing outside.
Was it a firefly? He wasn't sure if the firefly must be in estivation this time
of year. He grabbed his handmade scarf and went outside. The glowing object was
on a leaf but when he tried to touch it, it flew from his hand. He followed it
and tried to capture it a couple more time before he realized that it was alive.
Of course, it reminded him of a long lost visitor. How long has it been? Eight,
nine or ten years? About ten , he guessed. It was too long to remember but
somehow he still remembered his name...
"Quatre..." He called out.
It was like a signal; as soon as he finished saying, the glowing spot of light
paused and streached its wings... It turned out to be that little fairy again.
"Hi! Duo, long time no see!" Quatre still said in that petit voice, like nothing
happened, like it was just yesterday they met... ten years ago...
Unexpected to meet any others who could 'communicate' with him, he was startled
and many more feelings followed; fear... cautiousness... but then happy at last.
"Quatre... Is it, is it really you?"
"You did call me right?" He smiled broadly.
Then Duo gave him a small smile, "But it seems like you tricked me into calling
you."
"Whatever! You called me anyway!" Quatre flashed him with his tiny victory grin.
"Ok, ok Quatre... you didn't change a bit." He remarked.
"Of course! I'm a fairy, not an Angel like you." Quatre said without thinking
twice, and as soon as he shut his mouth... he regreted his words. "I'm sorry...
Duo."
"It's ok, Quatre. I know you didn't mean to. Anyway, why did you come here?"
"Won't you invite me in? it's pretty cold outside."
Duo nodded and let them inside his hut.
"Remember the last wish you asked me?" Quatre asked when they sattled warmly
beside the fireplace
"Wish? Did I ask one?"
"Yes, you wanted a friend, remember? Do you still want it now?"
Duo swallowed something along his empty throat; his panic... "Neither Angle nor
Demon will accept me, Quatre..."
"Yeah, you said that too! And I came up with the solution!"
"After ten years?" He snorted.
"Ow! That hurt!" Quatre said holding his hands to his chest, like he got shot or
something. "Anyway, what if I bring you a human?"
"Human?" He paused. He never thought about the Human race before since all his
life he was pained by the fact he wanted to be either Angel or Demon, it sounded
new to him. "I don't know. I've never seen one."
"Humans look exactly like Angels and Demons, only they have no wings or other
marks like ears or eye color."
"Where are they?"
"Actually, they live in the other world called 'The World of Mortals', there
aren't really many contacts between the two worlds, so, it's not a surprise that
you've never seen them."
"But how do you get me one?"
"Mmm... Actually, I found him lying unconscious at the sealed gateway between
the two worlds. I have no idea how he got here but if we let Angels or Demons
find him, he might be dead for sure."
"Dead... I don't understand, what has happened with the Angels and Demons
nowadays? I read it from the books; they used to live happily together, didn't
they?"
Quatre sighed. "Because of the missing Heart of the Virtue."
"What was that?"
"It was the holy relic from the Gods. The Ancient script said that it will
effect the Immortal emotion."
"I don't believe it! It just an object..."
"You know the proof so well, Duo... its result of the missing... was you."
Duo was stunned, that's it. That was why he was exiled. He clutched his fists
tight, but he had no tears left to cry... only anger.
"I heard that recently the Heart of Justice was stolen too."
Duo bit down his lower lip. He didn't want to hear about that anymore. He wanted
to forget...
Seemed like Quatre sensed that too, so he changed the topic. "Anyway, ready to
meet your new friend?" He smiled wickedly.
"What? Now? I thought I was going to wait. Aren't you still a practical fairy?"
He blushed a little. "Mmm. Yes. But, but to be a real fairy we need
experience... it's not that easy!"
"Ok, ok I know." Duo raised his hands in surrender, Quatre really didn't change.
Quatre whirled his staff and the light formed a big round shape, until it faded
out...
The light slowly became lithe young figure, lying on his bed... bronze skin and
a little messy dark brown hair... and that face, it was like a statue of the God
he had seen in the book, that was very... exquisite... and attractive. Those
slim lips were open slightly. Duo felt that his lungs running out of breath.
"He's waking up!" Quatre exclaimed, and that pulled Duo up from the stunning
reverie.
Slowly the boy opened his eyes and stared back at them... Duo was falling once
again, those eyes... were deep and enchanting, like a Prussian blue jewel...
