Trickery...

Duo stared, wide violet eyes...

Half way in his room and half way out. He stared as a knife had been imbedded on his dark red wood polished door. The knife had a gold handle and a red jewel in its hilt. It pinned a sheet of paper against the door. Duo removed the knife and it was a note from Heero, one more challenge in the woods, tonight.

Duo marched into his room, locking the door and prepared himself. He gathered his weapons and this time left his armor behind. He only took his helmet with him, he perched on the windowsill and jumped off, his fake wings opened as he glided along the wind towards his destination. From the air he seen a figure on a horse. Duo shifted his body forward as he made a running land. He peered out from the darkness of the woods with a grin as Heero sat on his horse, eyes cast down.

Duo walked closer with his sword nudging his side with every step. "C'mon what are you waiting for?" Then Heero looked up as Duo gasped, "Who are you!?" Then from the darkness a fleet of men came charging out as Duo was surrounded. "You are under arrest by Prince Heero Yuy.." Duo frowned as he was sure that because of his helmet they didn't know who he was. "Do you think you can stop, Death!?" He shouted as he flung out his arms, "Nich ich ben differah to!" Duo had created a ring of fire around him as the men backed away so they won't burn.

"A Magic user?!"

"Prince Heero said to beware of his trickery!"

Duo made the fire circle grow larger then suddenly disappear. He moved his hands in front of his heart, "As the moon borrows her light from the sun so will I. Grant me this spell.. Sun Flash!!!" Duo screamed as a white ball began to take form in his hands, it would seem to be moving in a circular motion as it shot out random beams before Duo cast it into the air. Blinding the men Duo ran as fast as he could.

"They had arrows.... SHIT!"

Duo grunted as the men began to regain their sight they chased after Duo who was nearing a cliff. The men rode on their horses, notching their arrows as Duo jumped off the cliff his wings opened up. He glided across the night air as he heard quick whispers, the whispers were the arrows being flung into the night air. Duo managed to dodged as he flew low along the side of the cliff with a large river flowing beneath him.

It was nearly dawn as Duo flew up to his bedroom window and quickly closing his wings as he entered. Duo removed his helmet and walked to his bed side then he lit a candle and turned around as his eyes grew wide with shock. Heero grinned as he held his sword. "I have you.." Heero whispered as Duo grew angry. "You tricked me.."

Duo glared as Heero still held his grin, "Stop these attacks.. Or I will kill you.. Or I will tell your father for casting Magic on me." Duo grimaced and sank on to his bed thinking. "I only attacked you to see if you were any good at all." Duo began to untie his shirt revealing some of his chest. "So now Heero the Slayer kill me.. I won't give up my Magic.." Heero as a bit surprised by this, he would rather die? It was only a mere testing skill in fighting with Duo, if he had been serious wouldn't have 'Death' killed him? Maybe Duo only wanted to see if Heero could live up his fame and title.

"No.." Heero moved his sword away, placing his arms on the end. Duo looked up at him with a small pout. "You're not going to kill me, so then what?" Heero pondered on that for a moment before sheathing his sword. "Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Nothing...

"Nothing?!"

"This is getting old..."

Duo folded his arms across his chest as he stared at the floor. "Death was tricked.." He mumbled with his brows causing a crease in the middle of Duo's forehead. Heero began to turn around and walk out the door as Duo wasn't sure what to say. Duo was more in shock at how it all turned out. Would Heero change his mind and tell his father? Would Duo seek help from using Quatre to plot a revenge against Heero? Duo would need time to figure this one out...

-End.
