Heero led Duo down the dark halls on the second basement to his room. He quickly closed the door behind them.

"Human!" Sparky jumped out from under the bed and went flying through the air toward Duo.

"Ahh what the!" Duo jumped backward. Heero grabbed Sparky in mid-flight.

"Sparky!" Heero growled angrily.

"But He-chan."

"No buts, you touch him and you will be on a journey to the next dimension."

Sparky frowned, "Sparky says you are a trader." He stuck his tongue out and crawled under the bed.

"What is he?"

"My pet." Heero said simply. He proceeded over to his closest he pulled out a stake and threw it to Duo. "It isn't much but it will be you only defense, straight to the heart, oh and this." He wrapped his hand up, and pulled out a large golden cross. He handed it to Duo then stepped back, "Here, it will ward away the others but not Shadow, that is if the others are up." Duo nodded



It was morning once more and Jade hit her alarm clock, but she would not be running off to work this morning. She had a funny feeling, and thought she would confirm it by checking up on Heero at Wyvern. Besides, she enjoyed kicking demon ass.

It was tea, shower, weapons, door. "I wonder what kind of trouble Heero had gotten himself into now?"



Several black and whites, as well as undercovers were outside the gates of Wyvern when Jade drove up. "Cops? I'll have to get the whole story from Heero. They don't even now what they are dealing with then do they?" She pulled her car down into the large drainage canal and went in. She worried not of police officers, if they were searching the area, it would take them all week, with 8 warehouses, each with three basements, and other housing around the perimeter.



Heero was sitting in his armchair watching the rise and fall of Duo's chest as he slept on the bed. /I should wake him it is sunup/ He watched him a few more moments, then rose from his seat and walked over to him. "Duo wake up." He said softly, no change. "Duo." He shook him a little, the boy held both cross and stake tightly. He stood, "Duo wake up the sun is up!"

"Eh?" Duo opened his eyes and looked at Heero. "Heero?" He sat up, "sun up already?"

Heero nodded and stepped away form the bed a little ways. Duo stood up, studying him closely. Heero raised a brow. Duo started walking closer "Heero." He whispered softly, he dropped both cross and stake. /Come on just say it, this could be the last time you see him./ "Heero, I..." he stepped a little closer then gave up, falling into Heero, his lips meeting those of the surprised demon. Heero opened his eyes wide then closed them submitting to the kiss. Duo pulled, back and saw the look of satisfaction on the demon boy's face, it gave him confidence. " I just wanted to say..."

"Shhh." Heero put his finger to his lips, "I know" he leaned down and kissed him even more deeply, Duo wrapped his arms around Heero, and he put one hand on Duo's neck, pulling him closer toward him. Duo licked Heero's lips requesting entrance, and was allowed. He explored his mouth slowly, playing his tongue lightly on a fang, he could taste Heero's breath, sweet. Heero rubbed Duo's tongue and then they became intertwined.

Heero stopped and pulled away, Duo still had his eyes closed and was breathing a little heavier than before. "Human."

"Huh?" Duo suddenly fell back down to earth.

"Human, smells like Jade." Heero left the room, Duo followed closely. Sparky kept his distance. They climbed the ladders and came out of the shaft.

"Jade!" Duo walked over to her. "What are you doing here?" Heero followed slowly looking above Duo.

"I knew you guys needed some kind of rescuing." She followed Heero's gaze, covering her mouth she gasped suddenly. "Oh God..."

A tiny drop of red liquid fell from above, landing on Duo's face, "Eh?" He looked up slowly. "Daya..." A sudden wave of nausea broke upon him and he fell to his knees drowning it, retching.

"Take him down Heero." Jade put a hand on Duo's shoulder. Heero nodded and did so. He laid him gently on the floor and covered him up with his jacket the best he could. "Come on let's get out of here."

"I don't think so." Shadow appeared next to the mortals. "You half wits aren't going anywhere."

Jade quickly grabbed out her crossbow aiming it at Shadow, Duo held out his stake defensively. "Go ahead Jade, shoot me... but you now it won't do any good don't you, I am too fast for you." He smirked. " I see you found your brother? He nearly wet his pants after I put him down, it was so disappointing, I hope you will be a better show, after all, you are the mortal my boy apparently thinks something of, I hope he has some type of taste."

Heero jumped on Shadow's back digging his nails into his back, he tried to jerk him down. Shadow laughed and pulled him off. "C'mon boy you know better than that." Heero glared at him, being rewarded with a swift backhand that sent him flying.

Jade let go an arrow from the crossbow, Shadow grabbed it, she let fly a few more, and he pulled the crossbow out of her hands magically and tossed it into her, she fell to the ground.

Heero crawled over to Jades bag and pulled out a number of potions, throwing them to the ground till he found what he was looking for. Two, one of purple, he found, and another, he pulled out several more, a pale flesh color, the later was new not fully tested, well he would see. He swallowed both of them down quickly.

Shadow currently had his attention on Duo, who held his stake tightly as on could hold something. "Get away from me!" Shadow approached him ever so slowly.

Heero rammed himself into Shadow's side. Shadow turned around to him. "Will you get over it! You can not do anything idiot boy! Shall I take you in front of all so they can see just how weak you are?" He smiled. "Yes I think I shall." He kissed Heero deeply, funny thing was, Heero kissed back. Shadow thought it trick, and threw him down.

Jade picked up her sword and ran toward Shadow. "Have you lost your mind Odin!?"

"Hai."

Shadow turned grabbed the blade and pulled it from her, tossing it across the warehouse. He turned his attention back on Heero, and pushed him hard into a wall. He slapped him. "You were always too rebellious." His hand fell hard across his face once more. "Like your mother!" He grabbed Heero's shoulders and slammed him harder into the wall, over and over. "You can feel like her can't you!" Heero was fighting for consciousness. "You feel it! You!"

"Jealous?" Heero managed to cough out.

"You can feel it! Like she could, that bitch! I killed her for it too! I will kill you!" He continued throwing him into the wall. "That's why you aren't Odin anymore! You can feel love and you love that damned mortal!" Shadow dropped Heero.

"And extreme hatred!" Heero grabbed him kissing him deeply once more. He wrapped himself around his father, and tried to force his lips open. Shadow couldn't resist the youth, never could, and opened up to him. Instead of being rewarded with the soft skillful tongue he got hot air, like fire, burning his mouth then throat. Heero pushed him away.

Duo stood there staring at the tow /what the hell?/ Without knowing why, he picked up Jade's sword. Shadow turned from Heero he was coughing and gasping, clawing at his throat. He looked at Heero, their eyes met.

/The sword Duo toss it to me!/ Duo didn't think twice about the voice he heard, he just did as it said and threw the sword din the air toward Heero. Heero caught it and shoved it hard through Shadow's back , his heart, to the hilt. Shadow's eyes widened, one would say rage, Heero knew it was fear.

"No!" Shadow fell to the ground.

Duo watched him fall, then looked back at Heero. He walked past Shadow to Heero. Jade pulled her sword form Shadow's back, then looked at the two boys before her and sighed.

"Heero." Duo hugged him tightly. Heero closed his eyes. He won, he won his love, he embraced Duo.

Shadow looked up silently, he shot a ball of fire at the two. Heero looked up just in time to push Duo out of the way. The flame enveloped him and he fell to the ground.

Jade took the sword and swiftly swung it threw the demonic neck in front of her, dust was her reward.

Duo rushed back to Heero, and kneeled beside him. Jade walked over to them. Duo laid his head down softly on Heero's chest. "Heero.....Heero..." a tear fell from his eye. "Heero!" He just lay there.

"Aw damn!" Jade tossed the sword down, and searched through her potions, she found that many were broken and cracked, but the one she was looking for wasn't there. She looked back at Heero. /He took it?/

Duo had his eyes closed now tears freely falling, his hands clenched tightly Heero's shirt. Then a faint sound, rumbled through Heero's body, then another. Duo lifted his head "heart beat?" His eyes widened. Heero took a full deep breath. Duo felt steady heart beat now under his hands. Heero's eyes opened slowly.
"Heero, your heart's beating...." More tears came now. Heero breathed in again, he felt his own heart beat pulsing through him, pumping his own blood. He could no longer smell Duo like he had in the chamber, but oh that was fine to him. He smiled and sat up. He looked at Jade.

"Finally perfected that shit eh?"

She ran over to him and hugged him. "You're lucky it worked! How do you feel?"

He looked at Duo and smiled widely, a perfectly normal smile, with perfectly normal incisors. "Come one Duo, let's get the hell out of here!" Duo nodded and followed him outside in the sunlight to his motorcycle. They hopped on and drove off leaving dust trails behind them.

Jade smiled, Sparky came out of hiding. "Sparky is going to miss that He-chan."

"C'mon Sparks." She pulled out a bomb set the timer for one minute and dropped it down the elevator shaft and set another on the main floor. "Let's blow this hell hole!" Laughing they both ran out of the building off base and to jade's jeep. They turned as the warehouse exploded going up in flames, along with the coffins and tombs of those inside.

Sparky was the only one who could hear the high pitched screaming as the demons within went up in flames. He smiled, it was music to his ear. He drove off with Jade.



Duo clutched tightly to Heero as they rode toward the sunset, both hearts were pounding with excitement, both wondering what the future had in store for them.

Duo whispers softly in Heero's ear. "I Love you Heero."

And back comes the simple answer. "Hai koibito."
