Lita strolled out onto the balcony and looked up at the moon. The moon would be a wanning cresent in two days. As her hand started shaking and she sfelt dizzy once more, the young girl gripped the railing tightly.
"I know you're back there, so you might as well come out," she said.
"Never could hide from you," Trowa said as he stepped out of the shadows to stand by her side.
"Nope," she said.
"I thought that you didn't reconize me," he said.
"Believe me, I'd never be able tp forget you," she said, laughing lightly.
"How are things with you," he asked, brushing his hair away from his face slightly.
"Normal, I guess," she sighed. "As normal as someone like me can be."
"You're still going on about that whole 'heritage' thing," Trowa asked.
"No," Lita scoffed. "I've tried to forget that part of my life. No one knows who I am...what I am here and that keeps me content for now."
"Oh," he said simply.
"You're uncomfortable around me," Lita said, more as a statement than anything else.
"I'm as comfortable around you as I can be around my ex-financee and someone who tried to kill me," Trowa said, staring at the moon.
"I've told you countless times that I didn't want to marry you," Lita sighed. "No offense to your or anything. I was young and restless and bent on finding true love. I've found that that doesn't exist. And I've told you just as many times or more that I didn't mean to kill you. I had another of my...episodes."
"Hmm," Trowa said thoughtfully.
"Ever the quiet one, eh, my dark prince," Lita said, looking up into his one visible eye.
"Yeah," he said, flashing her a small smile. "You look so pale. Are you feeling alright?"
"Yes," Lita whispered, looking away from him.
"Your skin is so cold," he said, stroking her cheek with his index finger.
"Do you want to warm it for me," she asked seductively.
"No," he whispered.
"Then leave me alone," she hissed, her tone changing dramaticlly. "The night air is just getting to me."
"Whatever you say," Trowa whispered in a warm tone.
Lita turned and went inside. *Great,* she thought.
*Now, not only do I have to live under the same roof as my arrogant and unfeeling half-brother, but now I find that my ex-financee is here also! How can my life get any worse?*
*Would you really like to know how it gets worse, little one,* asked a womanly voice in her head.
*Oh, God,* Lita thought. *Not you again. Go away, leave me alone! Why don't you leave me alone?!*
*I can't leave you alone,* the voice said. *We're one and the same, you and I.*
"No," lita whispered. "We aren't the same. We never were and never will be."
*Ok, keep telling yourself that, little one,* the voice said. *Maybe one day you'll believe it.*
"Lita," someone called. "Lita are you okay?
Who was calling her name? And who was that shaking her?
"Move, baka," said another voice. "Lita! Lita, get up. Is it happening again?"
Lita opened her eyes and was starinf into the worried faces of Duo and Heero. Heero gave her one more rough shake before she shoved him away.
"I'm fine," she growled. "I just passed out. I'll be okay after I get some sleep."
Lita stood and walked back to her room. What she didn't know was that she was being followed.
"Are you sure that you're okay," Duo asked from behind her.
"Yes, I'm fine," Lita sighed.
Without warning, Duo spun her around and kissed her. She didn't fight at all. This was what she'd been secretly hoping he'd do since she'd met him.
"Get some sleep," he said breathlessly. "You look exausted."
"You have no idea, honey," Lita laughed. "Good night, Duo."
"Good night, Lita," he sighed.
As soon as she was inside her room, he turned and left. There was something different about her. But what it was, he wasn't sure.
Silently, he sat down on the sofa in the living room where his comrades were already gathered.
"Has anyone noticed her strange behavior lately," asked a very concerned Quatre.
"Yeah, she's acting way different," Duo said.
"Maybe she's dying or something," Wufei suggested.
"Don't you ever talk like that about Lita," Duo growled.
"She's not dying," Heero said, his monotone voice revealing nothing about his feelings. "But she may."
"What do we do," Duo asked, grabbing Heero by his shirtfront.
"There's nothing we can do," Heero said. "She has to fight it herself."
"There has to be something we can do," Duo whispered.
"The only thing we can do is give her space," Heero explained. "We can't let her know that we know that she's going to stop feeding and eating all together. She's not herself and may be very dangerous. we should just let her do this by herself."
"Alright," Duo finally relented. "But if this gets out of hand, I'm stepping in."
Everyone got up and went to their seperate rooms. Heero held Duo back and waited until everyone else was out of the room before he started speaking.
"You're playing with fire, Duo," Heero warned.
"What do you mean," Duo asked.
"Lita can't be tied down for very long," Heero elaborated. "She's nothing like anyone or anything that you've ever encountered before. She'll break your heart. Leave her alone before she hurts you. She won't mean to, but there's a darkness in her that strikes out at the ones that she loves and destroies them or drives them away. Just ask Trowa about it sometime."
"But she's too beautiful and kind-hearted to do something like that," Duo argued.
"Yeah, she's beautiful, alright. She's got that kind of dangerous beauty that men just can't leave alone," Heero said. "Trust me. Stay away from her. She'll loose you and it'll break her. She'll let you into her heart and then something will happen and she'll be devistated."
"If she does let me into her heart," Duo said fiercly, "then I'll be there to stay. I won't leave her and I won't let her drive me away. That's a promise."
And with that, the young vampire stormed off to his room.
