Truth be told, I love you.

"It was dawn or so I believed as I woke up and contemplative on whether I should leave the coffin or not. After what seemed all day I gently started to move the lid. But I still could not see light so I opened it all the way. Just enough for me to slip out."

"Duo?"

"Oh, Heero, i'm sorry to wake you."

"Where are you going?"

"To take a gander. If that's all right with you."

Duo's stomach complained as Heero smiled. "All right. I shall see you later." Duo smiled back and started to walk out of light banished room. He walked out into the hallway and pulled back some curtains as slight dust started to fall. Duo coughed as he quickly walked away and down the stairs out into the main entrance. He went outside as he was amazed of how much land he could see.

He hunted around nearby bushes for berries and he grabbed a handful and started to walk away from the castle while he ate. It almost felt good not working in the hot sun today but he did miss his family and wondered how they were doing. After eating a few berries Duo began to feel light headed once more. "I'm walking to much and I haven't completely healed.. Heero wouldn't mind if I rested here for a while... Uhhh..."

Duo laid his weary body down on a soft area of grass with the scents of the nearby wild flowers and those that hung from the trees made his body more at ease. Night had fallen as Heero's eyes suddenly flashed open as he pushed the lid off from his casket. "Duo..?" Meanwhile Duo felt a hard tug as his mind slowly started to awake.

"Huh?!"

"So you're the human mortal that Heero has sent his mark upon?"

The creature stared back with a evil smile and piercing yellow eyes. It held Duo in his firm grip Duo struggled with a bit of hope that his shirt would become undone. Then Duo saw this female creature with two side buns start turning into a monster. Its claws went through Duo's shirt and some piercing into his warm flesh. Duo started kicking his legs and he was able to kick the woman in her chest before his wool shirt gave way.

Both landed on a thud but Duo looked up and saw this woman was turning into a Werewolf. "My God.." She laughed when she heard his words her hazel brown like eyes gave a look of wickedness and a fanged smile that enjoyed this as a game. She changed her form to a six foot wolf and charged at him. Duo quickly grabbed her by the fur of her shaggy neck and placing his feet on her abdomen and quickly kicking her off.

"ARAAAAAAAAOOOOOWWW! No mortal will ever hurt Une and live to tell about it!!!"

She charged at him and grabbed his neck and slammed him up against the tree as he screamed. Duo felt that tonight was his last as he closed his eyes tasting his own blood that came from his mouth. Une continued her cursing and taunting as Duo thought about Heero. Duo felt at peace when he thought back. Heero's gentle touch then Duo remembered an important thing.

"Put your necklace away." Heero said as Duo slowly obeyed.

"HERE YOU BITCH FROM HELL!!!" Duo screamed as he reached into his pocket and threw his Crucifix at her. It landed right on her forehead as it started to burn her. She screamed and dropped Duo on to the ground. Then a blur passed by Une as Duo gasped in shock. A large piece of a tree branch was sent di angle into Une's body.

"My Savior had came." Duo wrote in his memoirs. "Beautiful like an Angel of Mercy coming to me when I needed him most. That's when I realized something was different. Heero was hiding something from me and I too was hiding something from myself."

"Heero..." Duo whispered as he watched the Vampire jump from the tree with grace and walked towards Duo. "Don't move." Heero said in his emotionless voice. "Heero.. AH!" Duo only moved slightly forward before feeling a unexpected pain at his right side. Heero knelt down to investigate his "servant". "You have a wound but it will heal. I take it that you will not be able to walk, I shall carry you."

"Uhh, wait Heero.." Duo said sitting up as Heero placed his left arm around the mortal's shoulders. "Tell me.. Why did you save me? You can have any other human servant if I died but why me? Is it because.. You love me?" Duo's hair was messy and becoming partly undone at the end of his braid since the band was somehow missing. "Vampires don't love. They kill and survive forever that is all." Heero said staring into Duo's violet eyes.

"You're lying to me, Heero.. As I have been lying to myself.. I love you.." Duo gasped when Heero moved quickly towards his neck. Duo shivered waiting for that burning pain but instead felt a cold kiss. "Is that why you took me away? Because you loved me and were afraid of the other Vampires to get me or you?" Duo asked as he felt Heero starting to lick his chin of the blood that came from his mouth which started to slow.

"Yes.."

Duo smiled at Heero's answer and felt no pain as Heero gently lifted him off the ground and started to carry him. "I'll have to take care of you it seems." Heero said as Duo laid limp in Heero's strong arms, "Yes, but i'll be fine.. You won't have to worry much about me." Duo smiled his eyes closed but reopened when he noticed Heero stopped walking. Heero was looking down at him and smiled also.

"His smile surprised me. I wonder why he was so different from the tales i've heard about Vampires. How they were mean heartless predators as if humans were perfect themselves. Heero had some remorse in his feedings and fell somehow in love with me. My thoughts were broken when he gently placed me down on the forest floor."

Heero leaned over slowly as Duo held his breath. Cold lips against warm felt tingly and strange to each of them. "That was my first kiss.." Duo wrote on that last page. "Aww.. Great grandpa Duo.." The his offspring cried joyously as she put the book back on to her nightstand and waited for sleep to come.
