Okay, I realized I left out the thing about Krista's job. She went back and told them she was ill or something and is still on the case. Ya, that'll do. Um, this chapter is a little sappy. But bare with me, I'm setting the mood. More action later, promise! Vbabe smells and Marzy is hot!





Duo held tightly onto Krista as they hurdled from building to building. "Don't worry Krista, I've got you." Duo reassured her. "Who was that?" Krista whimpered. Duo looked away, "He's my.He is a vampire hunter as well." Krista didn't ask anymore questions, knowing Duo didn't to talk about it. They finally made it back to the store, and Duo gave her the elixir. Quatre instantly rushed over to Krista's side. "What happened?! Are you okay?" Krista gave Quatre a thumbs up and smiled. Duo brushed back his bangs, "It's a good thing I had a hunch about you two." Duo's eyes became wide with shock. "Where's Mina?!" He shouted and turns towards Krista. "I don't know. After the motorcycle accident, she took off." "MOTORCYCLE ACCIDENT!?" Quatre screamed. Krista just stuck out her tongue and giggled, "Oh yeah, forgot about that after being attacked by another vampire hunter." "ANOTHER VAMPIRE HUNTER?!" Quatre screamed again. Duo ran by them both, "I'm going back for her!" Duo started to head for the door, when it swung open. Mina stood there, her face filled with anger. Duo surprised, just smiled in relief. As he was about to say something, Mina raised her fist and punched it hard across his face. Krista and Quatre could only watch in disbelief as Duo got up. "Mina?" She glared at him, holding back her rage. "You knew all along, didn't you?!" Duo didn't know what to say, still shock from being hit. "You knew Heero was here, all along. And you kept it from me!?" Mina raised her fist again, but was caught in mid air by Duo. "Yes." He answered. "Yes I knew he was here. But I did this for your own good Mina!" Duo felt Mina's hand loosen, as she fell into him. He held her, and could tell she wanted to cry, but held it back. She pushed away from his embrace, and walked outside. Duo went to follow her, but Mina vanished. Krista turned to Quatre worried, "What's going on? Why are they yelling?" Quatre comforted her, but then turned his attention to Duo. Duo pounded his fist on the wall, and then his head. "Duo?" Quatre placed his hand on his shoulder, but Duo pushed it off. "You think you're doing something good Kats, but instead you're making it worse." Duo glanced up at Quatre frowning. Krista puffed her cheeks, "Okay, what's going on here!? Why did Mina slap you? What's with this Heero thing? Would someone please tell me!?" In an instant, she was face to face with an angry Duo. "You want to know? You want to know WHAT'S WITH THIS GOD DAME HEERO THING!?" Krista backed off afraid. "Well I'll tell you, Heero killed Mina's family and tried to make her into a vampire. I was able to save her, but not soon enough. Watching her love ones die right before her just.Ever since then, she's been trying to kill Heero. So she could revenge her family." Krista bit her lip in shame, while Duo continued. "If she goes up against him, she might not come back." Duo clenched his fist. "I swore I would protect her." Duo stormed out of the room, leaving Krista and Quatre by themselves. "How awful." Krista pouted. "It's okay, you didn't know." Quatre went to hug her, but she walked away. "I think I should go home." Krista headed towards the door. "I'll walk you home!" Quatre went to go get his jacket. "No, I think I rather walk alone. Okay Quatre." She waves goodbye and heads out, leaving Quatre all alone once again.

Mina sat upon a rooftop, gazing out into the big city.

*Flash*

A young girl resembling herself strolls down a market road. Her baize dress flies with the breeze, as she holds on tightly to her basket filled with flowers.

*Flash*

She accidentally bumps into a man, whose sky blue eyes deprived of any emotion. She gives him a flower from her basket, and heads off.

*Flash*

She is running down the stairs of her home, and sees the man from before sucking the blood from her Mother. He throws her limp body with the rest and proceeds up the stairs.

*Flash*

She curls up underneath the bed, watching as he enters the room. She closes her eyes, and holds on tightly to her cross necklace praying. When she opens her eyes, he is gone, and crawls from the bed. She didn't see him sitting upon her bed, waiting.

*Flash*

She is screaming, and screaming. That is all she could do.

Mina snaps out of it, as Duo sits down next to her. "How did you know where to find me?" She asks. Duo smiles at her, "I don't know, I just had a feeling." Mina looks away, "I'm sorry I hit you." Duo puts his arm around the sulking girl. "Don't worry about it, you had every right to be mad at me." Mina finally smiles back at him, "I can't stay mad at you." They both start to laugh, and Mina lays her head on his shoulder. Duo blushes and shakes off the feelings he was having. And they stayed like that, watching the moon.

*Flash*

A young Mina is in a bed crying; she peers up and sees a man holding a washcloth over her. He introduces himself as Duo Maxwell, and tells her it'll be all right. She just stares at him, with blood tears streaming down her face. He gently wipes them away, and smiles. Mina falls asleep in his arms, and he whispers in her ear, "I'll always be here to protect you."

"Always."

Krista proceeds down the empty streets of New York, deep in thought. "So Mina's family was killed by the same guy who made me a vampire who is Trowa's master that Duo hates for some reason but he won't tell me!?" Krista stopped for a moment, confused by all her thinking. Her thoughts directed to one thing now, making her blush. "Trowa." She spoke very softly. She suddenly shakes her head, "No! Must not think about him!" A noise broke her train of thought, and she spins around. A cat darts across the street, "Oh, I was hoping it was." Krista slaps herself. "NO! Get a grip girl, why would you want it to be Trowa!?"

"So I could see him."

"NO!" She argues with herself. "He's bad! He's evil! He's."

"Gorgeous, hot, a chest you just want to li."

"AHHHHHHHHHH!!!" Krista screamed in frustration and keeps walking home. Not knowing up above, a dark shadow watches her every move, with his one jaded eye.



Okay, another crappy ending, sorry. I promise to get Zechs, Trieze and Wufei in soon! Until then, enjoy the story!
