Chapter 5:



Silence was all that remained in the Winner mansion. Most of the time, Heero was outside, staring at the sky. Quatre usually cried for Trowa each time he thought about him. Wufei, who had learned shockingly about the two pilots recent deaths. Currently, he stayed in his room, meditating. 'The only way to control your sorrow...is to either let it all out, or let it flow around your mind..' Wufei thought. Closing his eyes, his breathing relaxed as he fell into the thoughts of meditation. In his mind, he had the visions of Duo's and Trowa's deaths. 'Trowa died of a poison to his heart, and Duo, his life was just drained away..' He didn't realize it, but in his semi-conscious state, he was crying for them. Suddenly, a vision appeared in his mind, which caused Wufei to scream in pain. Heero and Quatre, thinking that Shinigami was back rushed into Wufei's room. Wufei layed on his back, breathing heavily. His eyes were wide open and full of confusion and possible fear.

"Wufei, what the hell happened!?" Heero shouted out.

"A.. alive..they're..alive.." Wufei muttered.

"What? Who is alive?" Quatre asked impatiently. Wufei shook his head slowly and closed his eyes. Heero placed a hand on Quatre's shoulder.

"Let's go..let him rest.." Quatre nodded and they both left the room. As soon as the door closed, Wufei glanced out the window. Two shadowed figures nodded to him and disappeared. Wufei smiled lightly. 'To see them happy again will be great...' Meanwhile, the two figures walked to the back of the home, and saw guards there.

"Hold up there! Who are you two and what are you doing here?" One of the guards shouted out, holding a gun up. When they said no answer, the other guard held up his own gun and aimed. Suddenly, the shorter one held up his hand, and a black energy flowed around them. Soon, the guards fell to the ground, in a deep sleep. They approached the sun, and their faces were seen. The shorter young man had a long brown braid falling down to his ankles. The taller one had short hair, but long spiky bangs. One with violet eyes, the other with green. The braided man walked over in the sun and leaned against the tree. His cap was what covered the familiar look, and as he lifted it up, he grinned at his partner.

"So, Trowa, are you ready to surprise him?"

"I don't know Duo. Don't you think the thought of seeing us both alive would frighten them?"

"Heero and Quatre? Nah! Well, maybe spooked, but I doubt it."

"Well I see you haven't changed ever since you sent that demon back to hell." Duo became serious then.

"That bastard nearly got me too. It wasn't easy getting him into the fire."

"So how did you do it?"

"Hmm? To tell you the truth, I have no clue. It was all too..fast to remember."

"From what I know, you still have some powers, I mean, last thing I remember was a black cloudness and I am dead."

"It was easy to bring you back, you weren't exactly dead, but you were trapped as as soul."

"I see. So what are we waiting for? Let's go surprise them."

"Heh, okay!" Duo tipped his cap very lowly, and motioned for Trowa to do the same. Each grabbing a bag, Trowa and Duo walked around to the front, and lightly knocked on the door. From inside, Quatre and Heero stood up. Heero grabbed a gun for protection. As Quatre opened the door, he asked.

"Hello?" Duo was the first to speak up.

"Need cleaning? The D and T agency has many things that we use for cleaning many things."

"Yes, we are ar a reasonable price, please would you mind us to clean?" Heero raised his gun.

"Sure, you can clean..but clean what...?"

"Maybe the pain of losing a loved one?" Duo grinned, as he lifted the cap a bit.

"And the polishing of a new life.." Trowa added, lifting up the cap. Heero and Quatre couldn't have been more surprised and frightened before. Duo then grabbed Heero and held him in a tight embrace. Trowa, the same. Heero's gun fell quickly to the ground, his eyes wide with shock, but watering as well.

"Duo..? But..how?"

"I send the bastard back to hell and escaped with Trowa before he got the chance to take me with him. I am back and that is all that matters now. I will remain here with you for as long as I truly live." A tear fell down Heero's cheeks as he realized it was true. He was in a physical form , braids and everything. Pulling back up, Heero smiled as he stared into the kind violet eyes that he had always seen before. No longer the frightening, blood stained face he had seen a little while back. Pulling him close, Heero claimed Duo's lips in a tight, warm kiss, which confirmed the fact. Duo was alive. By this time, Quatre and Trowa were inside the house, they were busy in a deep kiss. Quatre had tears that spilled down his cheeks while his arms were embraced tightly around Trowa. Breaking it, he smiled sadly.

"I am so glad your alive Trowa. I have missed you deeply..."

"As I did too Quatre. But we will never part again like that. Shinigami will not lead our lives, we will.." Duo and Heero soon broke from their kiss long enough to see them both happy. Heero smiled, he was happy as well. Wufei, who had recovered from the instant shock watched from the corner, a small grin on his face. 'They are happy once again..I am glad.' Turning around, he walked back into his room, which had a brightness in it. Wufei stared at the light and smiled. 'I have done my job father..' Stepping into the light, Wufei disappeared.......
