Oh, Dark Night
Chapter 6: Gold Eyes, Blood Tears
The night was cool on Quatre's face, no emotion laid in it. He missed playing his violin. The sound behind him caused Quatre to turn, it was Duo, he had a wide grin on his face. Then he pulled the violin case out from under his jacket, "Trowa told me.", was all he said.
Quatre happily opened the case. Inside, it contained his violin. "I talked to Rasheed.", Duo said, "He doesn't care if you're like this, he thinks it's better knowing that you weren't killed. You can go home, if you want."
"Duo.... I don't know how.... To show my gratitude to you for this...", Quatre stuttered.
"Don't, I have my reasons.", Duo winked before leaving.
Duo went out to the roof, and jumped off, faster than any human vehicle could he made it to an old, abandoned house. On silent feet, Duo snuck around to the back. There they were, the beasts, filling up on warm blood from whomever they wanted. Greedy rats. He returned to Marius's house before anyone missed him...
For a week, Duo snuck around the old house, studying his fellow breed, Lestat did the same. One night, Duo noticed a new vampire among them, however he was being held captive. That's when Duo decided that he needed to free this hostage, but to out smart the group he would have to risk asking for the help of a couple mortals....
...
Ever since the disappearances of the three friends of theirs, things at the Preventers' HQ were slow for Wufei, and Milliardo...
"What do you want to do?", Wufei asked, in a bored tone.
"I don't know. What do you want to do?", Milliardo asked.
"Should we play another round of air hockey?", Wufei asked.
"No, we've played that four hundred times this month.", Milliardo answered, "Battleship, maybe?"
"Okay.", Wufei got up, "Sounds like fun."
Then, the mail arrived, Wufei picked it up. "Bills, bills, advertisement, bills, wait, a mission? Finally!", at this point Milliardo sings Hallelujah, while Wufei does a little dancing jig.
"Open it! The suspense is going to kill me if you don't.", Milliardo yelled.
Wufei opened the envelope, unfolded the letter, and read.... "Dear Mr. Chang, and Peacecraft.", he read, "I would like to discuses with you a matter of the up most urgency. Meet me at three twenty West Circle at midnight...."
"Who's it from?", Milliardo asked.
"It's signed G. D.", Wufei said, "Mysterious.",
"Should we? Go?", Milliardo gulped.
"What else do we have to do. You aren't chicken of the dark, are you Milliardo?", Wufei mocked.
"No, it's just that this may have been who killed the others.", Milliardo stated.
"We don't know for sure if they're really dead.", Wufei pointed out, "If it is, then we can capture the crook, and find relief in knowing justice was served."
"What is it with you and justice?", Milliardo asked.
"I believe that a friend of mine back when I was little was served injustice that's all, so I want to uphold it.", Wufei shrugged.
"Guess you're right, we should take it, might be fun.", Milliardo agreed.
...
Later that night, Milliardo, and Wufei were creeping around the place the guy had told them to meet at. It just so happened to be a graveyard. They jumped at any sound, or shadow that moved. "A- Are you scared?", Milliardo asked.
"N- N- No, are you?", Wufei asked.
"Do- Don't be si- silly, why should I- I be?", Milliardo asked.
Silence fell between them. Then there was a noise behind the two scared MS pilots. "Who is it?!", Wufei asked, both jumped.
A cloaked figure appeared, supposedly out of nowhere, and held out an envelope with a pale, thin hand. "You take it from him.", Wufei whispered to Milliardo.
"No, you.", Milliardo said, "I insist."
The figure thrust the letter at Wufei, who took it timidly, and opened it. "Ha- ha.", he read out loud.
The figure had thrown off the cloak to reveal that it was none other than Duo Maxwell. "G.D.", Milliardo said, "God of Death."
He looked all right, except he was pale. "I missed you two a lot.", he said, and went over and hugged both, giving a kiss to each on their cheek.
Both just stood there, shocked. "What is it you wanted?", Wufei asked.
"Well, there's this place, I give you the map later, after I'm done talking. There's a group of radicals that live there, and they took a new friend of mine, who's currently tied to a steak out back. I want you two to go there and free him please, and bring him back here. I'll pay you of course, seems how I'm no longer with the Preventers.", Duo said, handing over the map.
"Why don't you do this yourself?", Wufei asked.
To that Duo gave him a huge grin, willingly showing the fangs, and disappeared before the two could say anything.
The next morning the two arrived at the mansion. They walked up to the old run- down place. Just as Duo said there was a person out back, tied to a steak. Walking up slowly Wufei was the first to try to untie the guy, when he suddenly reached out and grabbed Wufie. However, Wufei untied him, and carried the boy to the car.
Once again at night the two returned to the graveyard. There was a note, obviously from Duo, and a bag. "Dear Wufei, and Milliardo, Here is your pay, just leave my friend here, and I'll come to pick him up. Forget I contacted you as well, it's for the better. D.M." , Wufei read.
Milliardo picked up the bag, it was full of jewels, gemstones, gold, silver, and platinum. "Holy shit!", Milliardo remarked.
"Yes, it is a lot isn't it?", Duo's voice came from the old narled oak behind the two, "I didn't think I'd be finished with something else by now.",
"Duo.", Wufei said.
"What?", Duo asked, jumping down to examine the other that had been laid down.
"What are you?", Wufei asked.
"Do you promise not to be afraid of me?", Duo asked.
"Yes.", both said at the same time.
"I am a vampire. So is Trowa, Quatre, and Heero.", Duo answered, "However, that place you went to has a group of vampires that are killing humans that are innocent, and had been planning on killing this vampire as well.",
"He's one too, why did he not burn up in the sunlight?", Milliardo asked.
"We don't burn in daylight, we just sleep, which is why it was safe for you to go there this morning, but not now.", Duo answered, "Forget us, forget what I've told you, and go home."
Duo picked up the vampire off of the ground and went back to Marius's. Leaving the two confused, and a lone once again...
When the guy opened his eyes, Duo was there. "Who are you, how'd I escape them?", the vampire asked.
"Duo Maxwell, you're at Marius's.", he answered, "What's your name?",
"Just call me what you want.", he answered.
"Jacky, then.", Duo answered.
The kid looked at him he had golden colored eyes, and hair of autumn. He was crying the crimson tears of a vampire without noticing it. His eyes were the saddest Duo had seen anyone's, but this kid was old, much older than Marius even.
End Chapter: Who is this guy? Why won't he let Duo know his name? Will Duo destroy the bad vampires too?
