Author's comment: I know that I have other stories on the go at the moment but this idea wouldn't leave me alone until I got it down on paper, so once I've got time I will finish the others, ok!

Disclaimer: I do not own any of the Gundam Wing characters or the song but the story line is mine along with any extra characters that I decide to add along the way!

Pairings: Probably (3x4), (2x5) and (1x6).

Other Comments: In this fic, I have changed the whole situation about the death of Quatre's mother but I needed to do it for this fic to make sense sorry if that annoys anyone, and please do not flame me because of it!



Blood on Blood

By Hayley

Chapter 2



---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------

"You have each been called, controllers of elements, and your mission awaits you. Trowa controller of Earth, Wufei of Air, Heero of Fire, and Duo of Water, you have all been summoned. First meet up with your fifth member, your spirit, he should be waiting for you, and once together, you shall be forced to defend Life, as you know it. Good luck!"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------

To make everyone feel more comfortable Quatre lead both his horse and the others by foot. No one but Duo and Quatre spoke through out their journey; the braided boy however had decided to take the silence as an opportunity to indulge in his ever-growing curiosity.

"So Quatre how did you know where we were, I mean weren't we the ones who were supposed to meet up with you up?"

"I could feel that something was wrong because of my empathy and the closer I got the stronger the feeling got." He answered truthfully, gently running his hand through the sandy mane of his horse.

"Oh," said Duo still full of questions. "But when you got to us it was over so did you just stop sensing us then?"

Something like a giggle passed through Quatre's lips.

"I could feel your disappointment at not being able to do anything, and I thought Karla had aggressive tendencies."

"Who's Karla?" Duo asked grinning. "Your Lover?"

"Maxwell!" Wufei growled grabbing hold of Duo's braid, from where he was walking just a few steps behind the violet-eyed boy.

"Hay, Oww. what did I do?"

"Mind your own business!" Wufei snorted slowly letting go of the captive braid.

"No that's ok." Quatre sighed. "Karla's not my lover but she is who I'm expected to marry when I come of age."

"You don't sound very excited about that."

"What did I just say MAXWELL!"

"Wufei calm down it's ok, I half expected this anyway he has a right to be curious you all do, after all have any of you visited the Eastern Kingdom?" Quatre asked as they neared the boarder.

"No, we haven't." Zech's answered for them all. "So you can see how this would be a little daunting for us."

"Well, I haven't been allowed far from the boarders of the Eastern Kingdom due to my over protective father think how I must feel about the prospect of going with you?"

The rest of the journey was spent in silence, all following the short blonde.

Quatre eventually stopped them in front of the palace, and all stood in awe at the sight. The palace was set just inside the countries boarder in beautiful scenic surroundings, which were easy to see even in the late evening. Its grounds carried on as far as the eye could see and the palace its self was huge.

"If you wish you may stay in the guest rooms in the palace." Quatre stated suppressing a grin at the expressions of wonder at his statement. "Or there are always the guest houses and Inns that are not that far away, it is up to you."

"You., you live in there!" Duo gasped pointing towards the palace.

"Yes, of course, since my father owns it, now where do you want to stay?"

"Well I for one am not going to ignore this chance of a life time!" Duo exclaimed, "I'm coming with you Quat."

"What about the rest of you?" Quatre asked glancing at the others.

"If the braided boy goes," Zech's sighed, "Then we must follow."

The rest just nodded in agreement.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------

Once Quatre had bedded Sandrock, down for the night they followed him across the grounds and passed a group of patrolling soldiers whom all nodded polity to the young blonde boy before allowing them into the palace its self.

The entrance hall was enormous, with a large staircase to the side. The hall it's self was covered in tapestries from ceiling to floor and large paintings most of then of young girls and one at the end of the hall of a young blonde woman.

"My sister's when they were younger." Quatre explained answering everyone's unspoken question. "My father had them done shortly after the death of my mother, that's her in the painting at the end of the hall."

"I'm sorry." Trowa whispered behind him.

"Don't be, it was a long time ago during the birth of my youngest sister, and she's 12 seasons old next spring." Quatre sighed. "Anyway lets get you settled it must have been a tiring day for you all."

They followed him up the grand staircase and at the top turned to the left and carried on through a long but well lit corridor with oil lamps hanging on the walls. Near the end of the corridor, Quatre stopped and opened a wooden door in front of him.

"Quatre, your back, where did you go, I was really worried about you, are you all right?"

The blonde boy sighed and then glanced back down the corridor they have just come up.

"Ta'ya it's late what are you doing up?"

"Waiting for you silly." She answered, then turning to the other's she introduced herself, "Hi I'm Ta'ya Quatre's youngest sister you're the ones who Quatre was supposed to meet weren't you?"

"That's right little lady." Duo answered looking down at her with a large grin spread across his face.

"Shouldn't you be in bed?" Quatre asked.

"Yes, but father asked me to remind you that he also has guests over to night, something about a discussion tomorrow with all the, umm, can't remember what he said!" She answered guiltily.

"That's ok, I understand." He turned to the others again. "It means that there are only two guest rooms spare. Each room has two beds so; one of you can sleep in my room with me."

"Or share with me!" Ta'ya interrupted, innocently.

Quatre smiled gently.

"I don't think father would agree with you, go on off to bed before someone comes looking for you."

"Ok, Goodnight!"

They watched her dance down the hall until she disappeared down the stairs before going back to their original topic of conversation.

"So who's sharing with who?"

---------------------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------

After much discussion, it was eventually decided that Zechs and Heero would share a room and Trowa would share with Wufei after the Chinese boy's rants about refusing to share with the braided Baka, and Duo would sleep in Quatre's room.

"Wow Quat, this room of yours is huge!" Duo exclaimed, staring around the large room with a four-poster bed set in the centre, and with large wooden bedroom furniture spread out through the room. "So where am I sleeping."

"There's a spare quilt in the closet if want, or you can take the bed and I'll sleep on the couch?"

"Quat this is your room I'll take the couch."

"Are you sure, I mean."

"Hay, Quatre I'll let you in on a not so secrete, secrete ok!" Duo watched Quatre nod before he continued. "I've lived on the streets for as long as I can remember so this, even just being in this place is something that I never even dreamed of."
