Chapter 4:
Shinigami laughed, as he saw the look on Heero's face. Presently, he had the exact same body as Duo's, from his beautiful face down to his feet. Wearing the minister collar didn't suit him, so Shinigami pulled it off and it burned in his hands. He advanced forward, and Heero took a step back. "What is the matter, boy? You best get on with your vow, a broken vow means eternity in hell."
"How the fuck do you know about my vow?" Heero spat out.
"Oh I know..believe me, being Duo's other half has advantages."
"You are not Duo's other half, his whole body is focused on love and wars. His love for everyone, entices him to fight and win. You have none of those characteristics. You just stole his body away for your own will while his soul lays screaming for life!"
"And if you happen to destroy this body, you will just allow me to grab that soul and bring him to hell! He is the braided shinigami, ne? Death is his speciality. You are lucky though, I have tried to grasp you many times and you fight. Everyone who comes in contact with Duo eventually dies..." He stopped to remind Heero of Trowa. "That young boy was going to lead a pretty good life with the blonde pacifist..oh well.."
"You..heartless bastard..! I will never let you get away with killing Trowa and taking Duo!"
"When your 'strong' enough for a fight with me, I will be waiting. You right now are too weak..heh.." Shinigami scoffed, then he turned around. Suddenly he starts screaming, but..it wasn't his voice?
"GIVE ME BACK MY BODY DAMNIT!!!"
"Duo?" Heero stared ahead, confused.
"Heero! You have to attack him! Don't worry about me!"
"I...I can't"
"Heero you are stronger than that! Just kill the damn bastard! Think of the others he will kill if you leave him alone!!!!!" That angered Heero. Duo was truly right, it was no time to be selfish. 'He got Trowa, there is no doubt that he will go for Quatre next. ...I won't let it happen...Duo, I hate doing this..why did you have to be a part of this cold-hearted asshole?' Pulling out a knife, Heero advanced towards Shinigami in a rush, stabbing him in the back. Shinigami didn't move, but instead, moved his arm back and grabbed Heero's in a painful grip. Heero winced slightly, and let go of the knife. Shinigami turned around and grabbed Heero by his shirt and lifted him high.
"You shall now know a secret. The young pilot had a dream the night before, and it was a similar situation, as we are in now...." The room soon clouded up in a neverending bliss of darkness. "...and you see, instead of myself killing you, it was Duo. Now, I will make you see how much pain and fear jolted through this teenagers body when I choked you in your own blood...." Heero took in a deep breath and showed no fear, just anger. Shinigami raised one of his arms high into the air. Claws poised, he was ready to strike when.
"....NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! YOU WONT HURT HIM!!!" Duo's voice shouted throughout his body. And quickly, Duo came forth, his violet eyes, his kind face. But he was amidst a struggle between Shinigami and himself for control of the body. His arms dropped Heero, and his violet eyes stared at him. "Heero..get Quatre and leave now! I cannot come with you, my love...my life is at the turnpoint here. I can no longer be with you, I must find a way to send Shinigami back to his home in the fires of hell. Even if it means my life goes at an end to him..." Heero stared back and shook his head.
"I can't leave you to die Duo...just try and return to your own body and we can get out of here! Duo!!!" Duo and Shinigami fought for control, and when Duo regained, he was angry.
"...HEERO GO NOW!!!!" He didn't take no for an answer, Heero understood that. Turning around, Heero ran from the blackness of the area. The world turned back light again, but everyone stared at Heero in fear and confusion. Heero didn't bother to look, as he ran past Trowa and into Quatre's room. He was already awake, and looked as though he had cried for a long time. Heero didn't speak, but picked up the weary Arabian and ran from the room.
"Duo..Trowa..they are both..." Quatre cried out. Heero closed his eyes and blinked back tears from the thought of losing the one he loved.
"Yeah......" Heero trailed off, and escaped from the hospital area. Doctors didn't bother to go after him, for they knew to meet up with someone in a rage as that would be instant death. Stopping about a mile away, Heero placed Quatre to his feet, and looked at him. "You okay...?"
"I... I'll be fine Heero, just need some time to swallow everything up.." Heero placed a hand on his shoulder, and nodded.
"Same...-" A scream was heard from the hospital, the same area where Heero left Duo to fight off Shinigami. Heero jerked quickly to notice the darkness soon disappear. Quatre moaned in pain as he grasped his chest. 'He's..gone..' Heero's eyes watered for the first time in the longest time. A long tear escaped, as he just begun to realize that his braided love was gone, into the firey depths of hell..with Shinigami...'Please don't suffer Duo...please...'
