Well here it is, Chapter 8. I think that it might have come out faster if
I had not posted Heero's Journal.but do you ever just get an idea that you
can not get out of your head? Well I am very sorry that it has taken so
long to get out, and I will try to do better next time. So, without further
ado I present to you the last and final chapter of Midnight Love.

Heero was not sure how long he screamed, or if he screamed at all from the barrage of memories that suddenly filled his mind. He knew then that He 'was' Duo's human servant, or that he had been, and he also knew that he loved the braided vampire with every fiber of his being. It makes sense now why it hurt him so much to be near me he though, as a sadness suddenly over came him. Then, he remembered that his vision had turned violet, and that Duo had taken the last step into making him once again his human servant.and that action must have been what triggered his memories. He now remembered so many things, such as the fact that he was a necromancer. Oh, he had known that he was, but the full implications of the immense power that resided inside his body shocked him. He knew that when he had been brutally murdered by Zechs he was working on refining his powers by the most feared of necromancers, and that even he was scared of the abilities that the seemingly cherubic boy possessed. Then a particular memory caught his mind..his own death at the hands of Duo's cousin Hilde, though it had not been of the girls own will, and that all this time, these last four hundred years, Zechs had been holding the girl against Duo. A fine anger bled through his body, like a tidal wave that would leave no part of him untouched. How dare this man, he killed him once, he held his only love as a slave, he tortured these innocent people, and now he actually though he would have control over them, and make them puppets in his twisted little games. Oh how wrong he was, Heero knew that this sorry excuse of a being would pay dearly, and perhaps the blond saw it as well, for he backed up a few steps. Then a smirk crossed his face,
"If you think that I am afraid of you, then you are sadly mistaken. See 'I' hold you prisoner, and you will not escape your destiny to forever serve me."
"You may have tricked me once, you may have taken my life once.. but it is unwise to ever underestimate an opponent. Heero said grimly, before looking to Duo, "I love you Duo, always and forever, till the waters turn to blood and the sky turns black." Duo choked back a sob, as a half smile form over his lips.
"And I love you my angel, till I walk in the sun, and the sky rains roses." Duo whispered, repeating the words that Heero knew they had promised to each other so many times. Then a deadly light entered Heero's eyes,
"You will pay Zechs, I swear to you that when I am done you will not even have it in your power to regret the decisions that you have made. Zechs backed up, a look akin to fear crossing his face, before finally settling in his eyes.
"You forget something," he said, a malicious smile forming on his lips, though the fear was far from gone from his eyes. "If you kill me, I shall take Duo's precious little cousin with me into hell.
"Oh, I do not plan on killing you.there are so many fates far worse then death, you have died once, and I don't plan to give you that pleasure again.
"How very thoughtful of you," the blond said bitterly, "but you do anything to me, then your two little friends die." Heero looked down at Quatre and Trowa, watching as Une held a knife to the small Arabs throat, and Hilde came to stand over Trowa. k'so, how could I have forgotten about them he cursed himself mentally.
"Quit the grandstanding," Heero hissed, then drawing on his powers in ways he had not for hundred of years, combined with his knowledge now, he felt a gentle breeze ruffle his hair. Looking up, he saw that the breeze, probably from the link that they shared had also touched Duo.
"Blood" He whispered to Duo, who nodded in understanding. Looking, he saw that Zechs was truly scared now. "What the hell was that," he yelled, angered by the fact that no one apparently had a clue as to what happened, or at least they were not telling him.
Suddenly In a lightning fast motion, and a burst of unrefined strength, Duo pulled free of his bonds, sinking his teeth in Quatre's arm, letting loose a thin stream of blood. The blond boy screamed in terror, as he saw his blood run in thick rivulets of crimson.
"I am sorry, little Arab." Duo apologized, nodding to Heero. Heero in the moment let his power loose in a tidal wave that sent everyone able to stand to their knees, and as Duo tore Une, and Hilde from the bound couple, he focused the same power he used in raising zombies into Zechs. Everything that to Duo and Heero seemed to have taken forever, was accomplished in seconds, and as things caught up to everyone's mind, they became aware of the blond kneeling on the floor.
"What is it you wish from me my master?" He questioned, all the malice that had been in his voice was now replaced by complete submissiveness. Everyone looked at Heero in utter shock, and even fear. Then before anyone could say anything, the Japanese boy collapsed into Duo's arms. The braided boy looked at Heero, a look of compassion on his heart shaped face,
"My love." He whispered, "I finally have you back my angel." Duo carefully lay Heero on the floor, careful not to lay him in blood, and went to help the others. Duo cautiously moved to help the blond Arab, but the boy instantly flinched away from him in fear.
"I am so sorry Quatre, but you were the least injured human in the room, and we needed your blood to save everyone else..even Trowa. At the sound of the other boy's name, He relaxed slightly,
"Is Trowa gonna die?" he questioned, sitting up as Duo freed him.
"I hope not," Duo said, using his mind to cause the boy to fall into a deep sleep. He then carefully unchained WuFei, who went to sit next to Quatre, whispering encouraging words to him. As soon as that was taken care of the two vampires approached Lady Une who was cowering in fear in the corner, her legs refusing to help her run away,
"Take care of her WuFei, I need to help my cousin." WuFei nodded, and did as he was told, as Duo knelt beside his cousin.
"Hilde?" He whispered, "can you here me?" After a few moments she looked up
"Duo?" she questioned incredulous.
"Yes, my dear cousin..Zechs can no longer ever hurt you.
"Duo, listen to me.Let me go, Duo. The braided vampire just sat there holding her, as it took a few seconds for him to understand what exactly she wanted. When he did finally understand, a pained look crossed his face..
"Hild..please, I love you, don't leave me now."
"Duo, I have been through so much, and it is my time. I want to go on, to be happy and carefree, and I can not have that here. Please, my beloved cousin, please understand. Duo looked at her a long time, before a look of peace settled on his face,
"Anything to make you happy my Hilde, anything. After saying these words, Duo took out the silver blade that she had given him so long ago, when he had been happy, before Zechs had ruined his life "I love you," he whispered, then he brought the blade down in one swift moment into her heart. A look of peace crossed her face, then she weakly brought one hand up and placed it on Duo's cheek,
"Love you," she whispered, then her eyes closed, and her hand slipped off his face to lay across her chest, which had now stopped rising and falling breath.
"And I you," he whispered, carefully crossing her arms over her chest, before standing up and walking away, never looking back at his beloved cousin.

THREE MONTHS LATER:
Heero smiled a secret little smile as he watched the sun set over the horizon. It had been three months since the incident with Zechs. Duo was now master of the city, Zechs having died at Hilde's death. Trowa survived with some help from the braided vampire's powers, and he and Quatre were living happily in a small little home that they bought together. As for Duo and He, they spent the nights laying in each other's arms, sometimes making love, sometimes simply talking about everything. Duo was the first person to really ever love him, and Heero knew with a certainty that he would be his last true love as well. Life truly was good, and for once things were going well for him. There had been no police business for the last several months, and despite his boss's attempts to get him to do four raising a night, Heero quickly quelled his persistence. He would simply say that he would go on his own, and start his own business if he did not leave him alone and let him do as he wished. Besides, night was the only time he had with Duo, and his braided love was far more important to him then the money he made from the job. Who needed money when he had all the riches in the world, simply lying in his lover's warm arms. It was time that fate paid him back anyway, for all the time taken from Duo and he. He hoped desperately that they could make up that time now, and he knew that he would truly love his other half till the water turned to blood, and the skies turned black. He would love his soul mate always and forever, and nothing could take one from the other, because he knew that without his heart he could never survive. Duo was his heart, and his blood...and everything that kept him alive, from now till eternity.
