No Shame in Crying
Duo who now lived in Virgina, sat in the woods in his favorite spot. He was known as Duo or the Maxwell Demon and now Father Maxwell. He watched the stream carrying the leaves along it as he sighed. His heart still ached over Heero's loss and he wondered if Noin and Zechs were killed in the blaze.
"Ahh, hello."
Duo turned and saw another priest, "Mornin', Father Connor."
The other man was older then Duo as he sat next to him and sighed for a moment as they both watched the stream. "Quiet here." Father Connor said as Duo nodded with a small smile.
"What is bothering you? We all have noticed."
"Oh.. Just missing some... Friends.."
"I see.. Duo, if you're not happy here you can leave. No one will think ill of you."
Duo sighed as he continued to watch the water. "You are a wonderful priest but God won't be mad at you if you leave. Is it the loss of friends that has made you become a priest? That God was punishing you?"
Duo was suprised as he looked up his mouth slightly open. "H-how..?" The other priest smiled as he chuckled a bit.
"When you're as old as I am you see these things. No, Duo God is not punishing you. You're a good man and i'm sure your friends are with him in His Glory and are awaiting you. Stick to His commandments and you will be all right. No one will get mad at you."
He smiled and placed a hand on Duo's right shoulder to balance himself up as he turned to walk away. "Father Connor!" The older man turned and smiled. "Thank you." Duo smiled back as he turned back to the stream.
"I thought for many days on his words. And prayed that I was making the right choice. And for Heero and Zechs and Noin to forgive me and hopefully await for me in Heaven."
Duo left the priest hood and left Richmond to a small town five miles away. Duo set up another farm and it lasted for two years. This time Duo was taller a mere 5'8 but tall in those days. His hair was past his rear almost to the back of his knees. He was eightteen as his violet eyes weren't round and boyish but more serious and a bit narrower.
He was on every girls mind and tongue when he came to town. But something inside his heart told him to stay away from them. Duo was in the cornfields as he took a break from sending a wooden post into the dirt. He wiped his brow with the back of his hand as he heard a horse neighing down the path. It was a distraught woman with a horse pulling a small carriage. She stopped the horse as she ran towards Duo screaming with sweat and tears waving her arms violently.
Duo dropped his hammer as he ran towards her. She fell to her knees gasping for air as Duo knelt down. "Ma'am?! Calm down just hold on and just breathe." The woman did as her bonnet was undone and her hair stuck out. "My.. My child.. Please save her.." She pleaded and started to cry as Duo rubbed her head. "What's wrong?" He figured the child was ill or the father may have done something terribly wrong to it.
"My child.. She's possessed! We heard that you were a priest and please we need your help!"
She clutched to his shirt as her cried into his chest as Duo felt useless.
"But ma'am surely you know that I am not a priest."
"But please! OH GOD! Please you're our only hope! Spare her!!!"
The woman cried into his shirt again as his heart sank. "I will try.."
Duo offered to drive the horse back as they sat together and began heading back towards her home. It was at least two or four miles away as screams were heard from within a small house as the woman folded her hands and shivered at that scream her gray eyes watering. Duo grabbed his bag with the materials he needed.
There were a few people gathered outside muttering and watching Duo. As he entered the home is smelled of body sweat and dirt. The father rushed out and led him towards the bedroom. The girl hissed as Duo realized that the smell had been comming from her. He lit an oil lamp and opened the Bible and started to pray.
The girl hissed as Duo looked up and saw bite marks on her neck. Duo's eyes grew wide as he wrestled with the girl to the ground. He was hardly able to control her but he screamed out random prayers as she scratched his chest and bisceps. Her strength grew less and less but in one last final attempt to rid herself from him she grabbed him by his neck.
She screamed in pain as Duo looked and saw gray smoke comming from her hands as his Crucfix fell out from his shirt. Then she stopped her eyes white as Duo gasped and closed her eyelids. Her parents rushed in as he looked back at them then out the window as he saw a flicker of a familiar face. "Wufei..?" Duo whispered as he heard a soft voice. "Momma!" He looked down and saw the girl was normal.
Her family hugged her as Duo walked away and slid down the wall. The father thanked him as Duo smiled and began to walk home turning their offer of spending the night down. The others called him a 'Holy Man' as Duo felt that he wasn't anything besides a mortal widower.
"Wufei is alive?"
Duo was stunned with disbelief. The next day Duo was in the heat once more freeing the golden corn from its green sandpaper like husks. He heard another horse from far away as he stood up his hand blocking his eyes from the sunlight as he saw another woman on a horse. His heart skipped a beat when he thought of who it looked like.
"Noin?"
He couldn't believe it as he put down his work as he ran through the fields. "Noin?! Noin?!" The woman looked seeing a man running towards her. "Huh? Duo....." Duo was right it was Noin as he excused himself for his ragged apperance. He invited her inside his house and poured her a cool glass of water.
"I thought you were dead! What happened, my heart has grieved ever since that night.."
Duo held her hands as he was begging as Noin sighed and perpared herself to tell him.
"Zechs and I made it out alive. We carried Heero's remains to where our boss for hire kept us. Then we found out that he was a Vampire as well. It seemed that you were correct. So we placed Heero inside the coffin and left him there. Vampires can mostly cure from just about anything. "
Duo looked down as his shoulders shake as Noin knew that he was crying. His tears stained the wooden floor as he covered his face. He needed this he hasn't done this in so long. Noin rubbed his shoulders as he conintued to weep. "Duo, we were looking for you ever since that night. We were able to track you down here.."
"We who? Y-you and Zechs?"
Noin smiled as she stood up. "I'm not suppose to say anything. You have a surprise tonight Duo.
Wait in the field down the path were you sit by the moon."
"The moon?"
Duo looked up as Noin quickly left. Duo still watched the moon as he gave chase towards her. "Noin?! What does this mean!? I have something else to tell you!" She turned her horse and smiled softly, "Tell it to one who knows Vampires." Duo was shocked as he couldn't speak. He mourned some more as he sat on a flat large rock in the field as the moon was full. A dark cloud covered its haze as Duo felt something.
He turned and saw a ghostly vision in the field. It was blurring towards him. Duo gasped as sweat ran down his temple as he watched as the figure grew closer. Duo screamed as he saw brown hair and the cloud moved away as Heero stood in the fields hiding his face with his hand.
Duo screamed as it didn't matter what he said as he was stunned.
"HEERO?! HEERO!? FOR WHY ARE THOU HAUNTING ME?! FORGIVE ME, OH GOD PLEASE, NO!"
The figure climbed up the rock as Duo fell to his knees. He was cracking up as Heero's cold touch made Duo's skin shiver. "Love..... Love...... I am here........ I am here......." He said as he carressed Duo's hair as Duo clutched to Heero's clothing for life as he wept on to Heero's chest. Heero's nose picked up a very familiar scent as he looked down and gasped his eyes in shock.
"DUO!? What have you done?!"
