Ghost of Duo Part 6

Wow, this seems to be my best story based on the amount of reviews! Thanks again everyone! I really do appreciate it! They help me work on my other stories that I hope to be posting here soon too. Disclaimer: I still don't own Gundam Wing and you still can't have my dog!
The pair walked in the lightening night. Lady V's heels clicked against the sidewalk. Suddenly, Heero stopped and cleared his throat. Lady V had walked on a few steps so she had to turn around and come back. "So this is the place huh? Looks nice and haunted," Lady V giggled. "Do you take anything seriously?" Heero was disgruntled. "Um.....my Kool Aid?" Lady V shrugged. Heero sighed and then began walking up the sidewalk. Lady V stood a moment longer, taking in the sight of the small, almost gothic house. Then, she took off running after the man. "Hey, before we go in, you never told me your name!" "Its Heero, now can we get this over with?" Heero hesitated at the door but then flung if open, half expecting the word to be scrawled across the wall again. It wasn't. Lady V stayed in the doorway, her eyes wide as she scanned the room. "Well? Are you coming in or what?" Heero was impatient. "I hear..." "You hear what?" "Music. The spirit is angry. Its blasting music," Lady V closed her eyes but still did not come in. She moved her head just slightly with the music. "What music?" Heero was sure he all ready knew the song. It would be one of Duo's favorites. Probably "Dead Cell". Lady V's forehead became the campground of deep trenches as she shook her head harder. "Born with no soul, lack of control, Cut from the mold of the anti- social, Plug them in and turn them on!" The lyrics she sang started out at a whisper and slowly grew in volume. "Process the data, make yourself the bomb, What is your target, what is your reason!" Her voice continued to get louder. Heero remembered the song well. It was the one Duo always played when he was angry.
~*flashback*~
//Plug them in and turn them on, Process the data, make yourself the bomb What is your target, what is your reason// The music emanating from Duo's CD player shook the entire house. Heero felt like he was on one of those cheep motel beds that had a built in vibrater. He stood from the couch and looked out the window. Noticing that the neighbors were doing the same only looking at him, Heero closed the curtain and started toward the room he shared with Duo. He was still sore from the battle he and his lover had had with Romefeller only that morning. One of MSs had gotten to Deathscythe and was able to rip off its jet propulsion packs before being destroyed. Duo wasn't able to make it back to the compound on his own. Wing Zero had to help and that had pissed Duo off more than anything. And of course, Duo, being the proud teenager that he was, had gone to his room to pout. Heero understood Duo's mood, but that wasn't a reason to attract attention to them by playing music louder than the law allowed. So, Heero came upon the door and pounded on it. When there was no answer, he tried the knob and was surprised to find it open. He entered the room only to have the music plague his eardrums even worse. //Do you have emotions, is your heart freezin' Seizing this opportunity to speak Ya didn't say nothin' but to turn your fuckin' cheek Dead cell, dead cell// "DUO!" Heero reached the CD player and flicked off the music, or so he thought. "What are you doing? Are you *trying* to get us arrested, again?" "Hey man! That was my music!" "Yeah, I know. And those were my eardrums. Mind keeping it down before we get the cops called on us again?" Heero moved towards the door. Duo stood up from the bed and made his way to the CD player. "You can't silence Papa Roach!!!" Duo hit the same button Heero had and the music resumed. //Sick in the head, living but dead, Hear what I said// Had Heero still been inside the room, he probably would have grabbed the CD player and thrown it out of the window, but Heero, being the swift soldier that he was, had all ready stepped out side the bedroom. Duo took the advantage and practically flew across the room to the door and slammed it shut. Heero could just barely hear the lock on the door click. Shit. He's going to get us thrown back in jail! Heero sighed and went back downstairs to wait for the police.

Heero shook his head, coming back to the realization that he was standing in his old house while a Channeler was standing in the doorway now screaming at the top of her lungs. "Hear what I said Learn a lesson from the almighty dread Jah, nutty warrior, nothing's scarier Kids are getting sick like malaria Situation ge...." Lady V was silenced by a hard hand clamping down on her mouth. She snapped out of her trance and realized that Heero was the owner of the hand. "Sorry. It's just, all the anger in this house got to me. You didn't tell me that your lover was a guy!" Lady V stepped inside the house. "So." "Oh, okay. You're back to the whole I-can't-say-but-a-single-word thing again. I think he's this way." Lady V began to walk. "Your right. That's where he was killed." Heero said in a stony, almost unemotional voice. "Killed? Who killed him?" Lady V hadn't heard that part of the story before. "Someone who didn't deserve him." "That doesn't tell me much. Oh well. I'll probably learn that when I actually channel him anyway." Lady V smiled. "You remind me of him." Heero looked away from her. "Me!? Wow, he must have been a great guy!" Lady V giggled. "That he was." "What was his name? I need to know that for the session." "Duo." "Cool name. Okay, I can definitely tell he's here. He's just waiting for this to start. Help me place these candles in the shape of a star." The blonde pulled out ten red candles. The two of them placed five candles at the outer five points of a huge star. They took the remaining five candles and placed them where the five inner points would be. Lady V then pulled out a piece of white chalk and connected the candles. Next, she began to dig in her bag. "What are you looking for?" Heero watched her. "My cross. I can't do a channeling without a cross. Its my only protection against the possibility of possession." "Duo wouldn't do that." "People change when they die. Spirits aren't the same as the people they once were. You just can't tell what Duo will or will not do once he enters me. Crap! I think I forgot it." Lady V sighed. "How could you have forgotten it if it is so important to have!?" Heero practically screamed. "I'm sorry, geeze! I'm not at my best when it FOUR O'CLOCK IN THE MORNING!!" Lady V screamed right back. "Unless you have one here, this will have to wait until I can go home and get mine." Lady V stood up and placed her hands on her hips. Heero looked conflicted, like he was having an internal battle going on. "Hold on. I know where one is." He took off down some hallway. Lady V looked around the room while Heero was off on his search. It was one of the messiest places she had ever been, but it was rather homey despite all of its mess. In fact, it was probably so homey because of its mess. She liked it and thought that she would probably have liked living there. Heero came thudding down the hallway with his hand clasped in a fist. "Got it." He handed her the silver cross that was connected to a chain of the same make. It looked worn. "Whose was this?" She turned the cross over in her palm. "Are you going to do this or not?" Heero was impatient once again. "Okay, okay Mr. Bossy-pants. I'm getting started." Lady V slipped the silver crucifix around her neck. She made her way to the center of the star and sat down facing in the direction of the table. She sighed and then looked up at Heero, "You ready?" "Yes." Lady V shook her shoulders to relax herself and then closed her eyes and began taking deep breaths.
