The Angel of Death - Seeing is Believing

Quatre looked out the window again, still seeing demons around the house. It would almost be night soon and still Heero and Duo hadn't returned. Sighing, he looked to see Trowa still clutching Wufei tightly, Wufei's breathing becoming labored. Trowa looked over at Quatre desperately.

"We gotta get him to a hospital..."

"I wish we could...but how? Demons are outside our house...a vampire's locked up in your room...and for all we know, demons are probably inside the house looking for us." Quatre let out an exasperated sigh. "How could we possibly get him to a hospital...?"

"Well we can't just let him die!" Trowa yelled, making Quatre jump slightly.

~~*~~

Heero managed to make it up to the roof of a building, making sure that no one noticed him get up there. Then he, looked down to see all the innocent people getting slaughtered, but he wasn't actually paying attention to that. He was more concerned about Duo. He looked everywhere, wondering where he could find the certain braided boy...but unfortunately he couldn't.

"He was right there..." Heero said to himself, still looking around. "He couldn't have gotten far...could he?"

"He might've...maybe..."

"..." Heero turned in the direction of the familiar voice and saw a girl with pale blue eyes and black hair staring back at him. She was wearing a long coatdress with boots. "What are you doing here?"

"I have my reasons..." she replied, walking to stand beside him. She looked down at the people screaming for their lives. Heero sighed.

"How many of you showed up?"

"Oh...about 10...maybe more..."

"I see..."

"Look, the reason we're here is to stomach the demons from progressing in numbers," the girl said, looking at him. "Nothing more..."

"I understand..."

"Are you...planning on returning with us after this is over?"

"No...I don't ever want to go back."

"...understood..."

~~*~~

"Who are you?"

"I'm you..."

"What are you doing here?"

"I'm always here with you, Duo. Wherever you go, I go...that's the way it is..."

"I don't...understand...".

"You're the one that put on my ring...you welcomed me..." you welcomed me...you welcomed me...you welcomed me...you-

"Ah!" Duo awoke in a cold sweat, panting hard. He wiped the sweat from his forehead before looking around, noticing that he was in a dark room with a cold metal floor. Somehow he managed to get to his feet and lean against the wall, trying to figure how he got here. He remembered going to the movies with Heero...then everything got weird. He also remembered fighting off vamps and demons, but before he did that he told Heero to find somewhere safe...

"Oh god Heero..." Duo whispered to himself, looking frantically for a way out. It was stupid of him to tell Heero to hide. Heero had a better chance of survival if he stayed with him. Silently cursing himself, Duo made his way around the room with his hand on the wall, trying to find a door or window or something at least...but there was nothing. "Heero...dammit..."

"There's no need to worry about him, kid...he's not dead...yet anyway..." there was chuckle that followed. Duo turned in the direction of the sound.

"Who are you!? Why the hell did you bring me here!?"

"If only you hadn't left...if only you just stayed with me until I died, then maybe...just maybe I wouldn't be upset with you like I am now...however..." the boy came into view, his medium long bleach blonde hair tied back. Duo eyes nearly came out of their sockets as he got a good look at the person standing before him.

"It can't be...you...you died...I came back and you were dead...you had to be!"

"Kid...kid, kid, kid...you were young then...you couldn't tell whether I was dead or alive even if someone came out and told you." The boy walked up to him, grinning when he noticed Duo didn't do anything to stop him. "It's been so long since I've seen you...we've got a lot to catch up on...but first..." Suddenly, the boys face changed into a demonic look, his fangs very visible. "I'm a little hungry..." With that, he snuck his fangs into Duo neck, not paying attention to his screaming.

~~*~~

Out of nowhere, Heero felt a sharp pain in his chest and he turned around, the girl doing the same.

"Please tell me you felt that..." she said, seeing Heero nod at the corner of his eye. He took a couple steps forward, the pain hitting too close to home. The girl knew this.

"The slayer..." the girl looked back. " 'Entao as aguas girarao para uma mascara do vermelho... a mascara do sangue, e a escuridao cobrira a terra.' I have to go now."

"Elexial..." Heero had finally, after so long, said her name, which in a way she was very pleased with that. She turned to look at him.

"Yes?"

"You kill him..." Heero glared at her. "You'll regret it..." Elexial looked at him seriously.

"I won't. Anyone in their right mind wouldn't dare challenged Shinigami...except you of course..."

"What..?" Heero turned to she her, but she was already gone.
