Note: Sorry for the HUGE delay guys! *has been a lazy bum lately* OoOo! Thanks you guys sooo much for reviewing! Thanks: G'Vola (thanks soo much for the support! I love it when people review twice.. this way I KNOW people are reading), Linael (well of course YOU reviewed :D), and psuedo angel (don't worry; I'm working on all that background stuff and reason and crap :)!
Doh! I just realized, I never had a disclaimer!
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Gundam Wing, or any of the characters in that story; I'm just a poor pathetic author who finds enjoyment writing her sick little stories! Please take pity on me.. The only things I have in my possession that you CAN sue me for are 14 water bottles.
It was midday when Duo awoke from his sleep, his long eyelashes fluttered as they opened wide to reveal brilliant--if sleepy--violet orbs. "Mmmm.." He gave a soft groan and raised a tired head from the bed, searching for Heero.
"Vamp Boy?" He called out quietly, his hands groping at random objects in the darkness. Giving a growl of frustration Duo swung his feet over the bed and felt his way to the windows, he threw apart the thick black curtains and covered his eyes when sunlight flooded the room.
"Damn, it's probably noon already..." Duo glanced down at his wrinkled clothes and decided to search the manor for some cleaner clothes. Duo gave a small grin as he set foot on the plush carpets; he had always wanted carpets like these when he was a kid. Peering in each of the rooms he passed, Duo groaned in frustration, the vampire didn't seem to have ANY clothes lying around.
Just as Duo passed one of the rooms, his bright, dancing eyes caught a flash of bright light that flickered in the dark empty room. Duo blinked once at the light, but it didn't disappear, he blinked again.. it was still there. After a minute of staring, the light seemed to flicker again.
I feel forces all around me,
Come on raise your head.
Those who hide behind the shadows,
Live with all that's dead.
Slowly it began to change, reforming itself into the shape of a blonde haired boy. The boy seemed to be about the same age as Duo, as Duo stared on, the light seemed to alter more, the light growing sharper as it showed the boy clearer. The dim shape of a mouth turned into full red lips that curled into a sad smile that didn't quite reach the boy's eyes. The outline of eyes blurred and sharpened into stunningly bright greenish-blue eyes that seemed to contain sadness beyond his years. The boy wore regular jeans and a white shirt, around his neck was a small golden key.
The boy hovered in front of the amazed Duo, cloaked by a halo of bright light, its eyes seemed to smile down at him, yet the sorrow never seemed to completely disappear from his eyes. Slowly the boy faded out of view, leaving a very stunned Duo.
"What the hell?" He murmured softly to himself.
Slowly the light reappeared right beside Duo, giving a grin as Duo's eyes became wider. The boy reached out, his hand inches away from caressing Duo's face, when suddenly he stopped, giving him a contrite look the boy beckoned Duo to follow him with pale hands. Nodding, a very confused and intrigued Duo followed, his eyes never leaving the blonde's eyes.
After a seemingly endless walk, Duo realized that the boy had led him outside the mansion, into a secluded part of the garden. The plants here were untended and wild, vines and flowers were splayed all over the dirt path. The blonde boy didn't seem to notice the wild plants and walked on, occasionally turning back to see if Duo was following him.
Soon, they two arrived at a small white gate, about the height of the two boys, its paint was old and peeling and it was obvious no one had been here for a while. The blonde boy stared at the gate for a minute, as if reminiscing about something from long ago. For a moment, the boy stood motionless, sadness written all over his face, turning around, he seemed to realize that Duo was still here. Giving a sorry grin he removed the necklace from his neck and unlocked the gate. As the key clicked in place the gate swung open, revealing a pathway that lead to the garden within.
When they finally arrived at the garden, Duo gave a gasp of surprise. The whole thing was beautiful, the garden must have been untended for years yet it had thrived on it's own, roses and flowers of all kinds lined a stone pathway that lead to a large weeping willow tree. Duo turned wide eyes to the other boy; he whispered, "It's beautiful." The blonde boy gave a nod; slowly he walked to the tree, with Duo following close behind. Once they reached the base of the tree, the boy reached out, gently tracing his hands over the wizened tree trunk. Inching closer, Duo realized that there were old carvings on the tree. In flowing calligraphy, someone had carved: TB QW, surrounded by a heart.
Duo glanced back at the blonde boy, "You made this?" The boy nodded, and then pointed to QW, then he pointed to himself.
"Oh! You're QW.. Whose TB?" At that question, the boy closed his eyes, indicating he didn't want to talk more about whoever TB was.
Duo understood and gave a small nod; he could feel the pain radiating from this boy. He could sense the years of pent up tears and heartache the boy felt. Giving the boy a sympathetic glance, Duo whispered quietly, "Who are you?"
The boy opened his mouth as if to respond, yet no sound came out. Giving a frown of frustration, the boy reached out a pale hand. Duo stared at the hand for a while, then he reached out his own hand and clasped it around the other boys.
Touching the boy's hand was like touching light but with a little more substance. The minute their hands touched, Duo felt memories rush into his mind. Pictures of Heero, the ghost boy, a black haired, Chinese boy and another brown haired boy floated to and fro from his conscious mind. He saw Heero laughing, kisses being exchanged between the brown haired boy and the blonde haired boy, the Chinese boy glaring, and all of them hugging.
And then, as suddenly as the pictures entered his mind, they were gone. Duo glanced at the blonde haired boy. "So I guess the guy with the long bangs and green eyes is TB?" The ghost gave a nod, and suddenly a distressed look came over his delicate features.
"What's wrong?" Duo asked, concerned.
The blonde boy gave him a sad wave, as he mouthed the words, "They're pulling me back..."
Duo looked as clueless as ever, until he noticed that the boy was fading away. The boy gave Duo one last smile and disappeared into thin air, dropping the golden key onto the ground with a soft 'clink.'
Duo glanced down at the key and gently picked it up, as he studied the chain around it he realized that it wasn't a chain, but a faded red ribbon. Studying it, he noticed faint words on the red piece of silk, squinting his eyes; he read the words, 'For my angel.' Flipping the silk over, he read the initials on the other side, 'TB' Duo turned the key over in his hands and carefully slipped it around his neck, where it rested beside his cross.
As he turned today's events over in his head, the slumped down next to the weeping willow. "This crap just keeps getting weirder and weirder..." He mumbled to himself. As thoughts rushed in and out of his head, he realized just how calm and peaceful the garden was, the breeze tugged at his braid, swaying the branches of the trees ever so slightly, birds chirped and fluttered from tree to tree, and the sun shone down gently through the branches of the tree.
Duo gave a small content sigh, his eyes suddenly growing heavy, as he lay against the tree in deep sleep.
A/N: Oi, I know the song sorta doesn't go with the whole story.. But I'm weird like that ;) Anyways, I hope you guys like this chap! And remember to review! Every little thing counts! My ego needs all the help it can get!
