Hi there! How are you today? Well I'm going to have a busy month with
Summer School, my Sister's wedding, finding a new job, and moving away
(boohoo)! But fear not, I will try to get the chapters out on time…I hope!
Well I welcome Rose to the reviewers club! I'm very flattered you liked
my story when you came, how long did it take you to read all those
chapters? LOL! Thanks again for the reviews, my goal is to get over a 100
by the end of my story! Well for people who hate cliff hangers-AKA
BloodMoon, you are so gonna kill me then! (Runs for safe place). Hey
Seeress, yes Krista will think that if she ever finds the other two-but
knowing her luck she won't! LOL! I remember saying I thought Kaiba's hot,
but then there's Pegasus, or that white hair dude with the English
accent…TOO MANY HOT MEN!!! Geeze, I almost wrote a paragraph here, oh
well. Lady Lavender Clearwater, you're no freak, just…unique. Yeah,
that's the nicest way to say it! (Just Kidding). V-Babe, Thanks for
sticking with me for 6 of the stinkiest years of our pathetic life! I LOVE
YOU POOPIKINS! Anywho, this has always been on my mind. How did you all
think of your log in names? I'd really like to know! Okay, now on with
the story…
Duo held onto Mina tightly as he checked around a corner, "I have to find some place to hide, but where?" He thought hoisting her up a bit. Mina was still unconscious, making it harder for him to move. "Mina, hold on. I won't let anything happen to you, I promise…" Duo whispered kissing her softly upon her forehead as they headed down the street. Not too far away, Zechs stays close behind in the shadows. Waiting for the right moment to attack…
Krista slumps down against a wall and let out a sigh. She had searched high and low for her friends, but to no avail. It seemed they had simply vanished, or even… "NO!" Krista cried. "They couldn't of been, they're to strong, they just couldn't…" She sat back up and pulled out the photo of them, "You guys would never give up, and neither will I!" Krista smiled regaining her confidence. "Strong words for someone who's an idiot." Krista spun around in attack mode but fell to the floor shortly after with a sweatdrop over her head. The old gypsy woman stood there grinning with the phew teeth she had, "Well, well, if it isn't the whippersnapper who's friend destroyed my table! What brings you to my store yet again?" Krista pulled herself to her feet and whipped the invisible dirt from off her shirt. "I don't have time to argue with you, you old hag! I have my friends to find and I don't need you who is a fortune teller and can find…missing…people…OH MY GOD I NEED YOUR HELP!" The gypsy woman rolled her eyes and stepped through her beaded door. Once again, Krista found herself waiting and having to pay double the amount for information. The old lady stroked her crystal ball, and chanted a few words. Finally she gazed back at the Detective and frowned, "This does not look good child." "What? What do you mean? Where are my friends?" Krista started to get frantic and lean on the table (forgetting the hag hated it). "I see two of them, wondering about, seeking a place to hide." She spoke still rubbing the ball. "Two of them?! But there's three I'm looking for, where is the other one?!" Krista wailed. The elderly woman just shook her head, "The other can not be sensed, meaning it's too late." Krista fell into the seat speechless, "Who…who is missing?" She uttered holding her breath. "I'm not sure, but I can tell you the other two are close. They are entering a cathedral near by." Krista got up and ran out the door, but not before screaming thank you to the fortuneteller who has helped them so many times. The Old Gypsy lady watched as the young girl darted down the road, "I pray for you child, for the path ahead will only lead to more pain and suffering." And with that she walked back inside, knowing exactly the future waiting for them.
Duo opened the doors to the church and lifted Mina through. He placed her down on the seat and kneeled in front of a cross, "Please God, protect us." He prayed turning back towards Mina and gently touching her face, "Don't worry, you'll be safe here. Vampires are not allowed in this holy sanctuary." He assured grasping her hand. Duo then rushed out the doors and leapt onto the rooftops, heading back to the store. "Hang in there Kats, I'm coming!" He shouted soaring to the next building.
Elsewhere, Treize finishes off the last bit of blood from his wineglass and smiles. "Why such a long face Trowa dear, did you wake up on the wrong side of the coffin again?" He snickered watching the lower cadet appear. Trowa just shook his head and sighed, his Master's humor was becoming quite unbearable. "My Lord, I must ask you about…well this." He spoke pointing to the blonde boy lying unconscious on the floor. "Why did Zechs bring him here and then leave again? What is exactly your plans Sir?" Treize just spun the glass in his hand, not ever looking back at Trowa. "I suggest you learn your place and shut that mouth of yours." He snapped as the cup shattered in his grasp. The pieces went flying towards Trowa, cutting his face a bit. "I'm sorry My Lord, forgive my insubordination." He uttered bowing before Treize.
* He is only using you and you know that *
Trowa's jaded eyes grew wide as Heero's words replayed in his head.
*Once he gets everything he wants, you will only be tossed a side like garbage *
1.1 "It can't be…He wouldn't, the Master would never betray us! He just…"
* You're never going to have her, he won't let you…*
Trowa clenched his fists, holding back his anger. "She is mine, he promised me!" He growled backing up into the shadows. Treize just observed the vampire, forming a smirk upon his lips once more. "My foolish boy, you forget who I am. I am Treize Khushrenada, the most powerfulist and oldest vampire out there." He then lifted up another wineglass filled with blood, and held it out in front of him. "And what I want, I always get…" He chuckled pouring it out onto the dead girl beneath him.
~***~
"I…thought, that dang hag said…it was, close by!" Krista huffed, stopping to catch her breath. She flipped back her shoulder length hair and tucked a strand behind her ear, "Crikie, for being a half vampire, I'm out of shape!" And with that, she pulled out a vile from her pocket and gulped it down. "I know I'm not suppose to drink it when I'm dehydrated, but eventually I'm suppose to do it, when I have the cravings." Krista thought throwing the empty case and continuing on her path. Though it was pretty early in the morning, the sun shined its rays hard on the Detective. "God Dame it! Where is that blasted church! I remember Duo saying something about it when they were taking me on that tour…"
*Flash*
Duo shoves another hotdog down his throat and grins, "Thafts fixs in da mow Gats!" Quatre lowered his paper and stares at him, "Swallow before you talk first." He calmly responded as Duo gulped down the rest. "I said that's six in a row Kats! And you said it couldn't been done, so pay up!" Duo smirked holding his hand in a grabbing motion. "Okay, for one thing, I didn't promise you anything. Number two, I said only a pig can chow down six hotdogs in a row. So the only thing you've proven to me is how much of a fat pig you are!" Duo grasped his chest, like he was having a heart attack and fell to the floor. Krista busted up laughing, turning to Mina and smiling. Mina let out a tiny smile before reverting back to her usual scowl, "Baka." She mumbled facing away from them. "Anywho Krista…" Duo continued jumping to his feet. "You have your Joe's Burgers on your right, and your Harriet's Kitchen to your left! And across the way there's Gotta Have Sweets candy shack, really good for those with a sweet tooth! Then there's Jake's Pancakes, McDonalds, Denny's, oh some church and The Shoot them Up Cow Ranch, kill your own meat! Great place to…"
*End of Flash*
"That's it!" Krista shouted. "The church was next to a Denny's, which was by the McDonalds, which was across from the pancake place! I know where it is!" She cheered booking it down the street.
Back at the Cathedral, Mina slowly opened her eyes. "Where…where am I?" She wondered sitting up. She looked around at the scenery, holding her aching head. Stained glass windows covered the walls with rainbow images, as a large wooden cross hung above the platform. "What the hell is this?" Mina muttered as she tried to stand on her feet, but failed. "Duo…Quatre…I must save them before, before…" She gazed over to the double doors, but her sight soon became blurry again. "Shit, I remember now! That blonde ass son of a bitch did this to me!" Mina yelled pulling herself up again. "When I get my hands on that bastard, I'm gonna…" Suddenly, she heard someone call her name. "Mina! Mina!" She gazed at the door and stumbled towards it, "That, that sounds like…" Mina swung them open and gasped,
"Duo!"
Duo grinned and held out his arms, "Mina, you're alright!" She ran into his embrace and held him tightly, "Duo, I'm so happy to see you! Where did you go? Why was I in that church? Where's Quatre?" Duo's smile soon faded as his he looked away, "Quatre's gone Mina." "What?!" She cried grasping his shirt. "That bastard Zechs took him, I tried to go back and save him, but I was too late." Mina let him go and sank to her knees, "Quatre…but why? I thought they wanted me?! WHY DID THEY TAKE QUATRE!?" She screamed pounding her fists on the ground. Duo pulled her back up and shook her a bit, "Mina! Get a hold of yourself, this isn't going to help!" He shouted. "You're right, we got to find him and…" But before Mina could finish, she collapsed in Duo's arms. "You're still weak from the battle, let's get you someplace safe." He spoke carrying her. "But, I thought…why were we at the church then?" Mina uttered trying her best to stay awake. "Yes, the chapel was my first idea to keep us safe from Zechs. But that vampire could easily fool you into leaving the sanctuary, so I found another place to stay." Mina just nodded in agreement as Duo leapt onto the building top and then another.
Elsewhere, Heero finishes off another demon with his dagger, watching the ashes disappear in the wind. Suddenly Heero stumbled against the wall, holding his stomach. "No, not now…" He growled backing up into the alleyway, away from seeing eyes. He slumped onto the gravel, and hunched over in pain. For weeks, Heero had not killed a human for blood. He had made a promise to himself that he wouldn't murderer another innocent person ever again, "Only for you Mina…" Heero whispered staggering away. But his ice blue eyes grew wide as he sensed a danger in the air, "Something's wrong." He yelled as he dashed to the streets.
Duo carried Mina inside an apartment, and placed her on the canopy bed. "Mina? Mina are you awake?" Duo asked lifting her chin. Mina opened her violet eyes and smiled, "You know I don't go down that easily." She joked trying to raise her head. "You'll be safe here, since I've sent Zechs on a wild goose chase. So we have time to rest up and think of a plan to rescue Quatre." Duo remarked as he sat next to her. "I wonder how we are going to tell Krista this, or should we even tell her at all?" Mina wondered playing with Duo's braid. Duo grasped her hand in his and kissed it delicately, making Mina blush. "What's with all the mushy stuff?" She giggled as he kept kissing up her arm. Duo touched her face and pulled her in, his lips softly touching hers. Mina felt weak in his caress as he lay on top of her, never breaking the kiss. Her hands stroked his back as he moved down her neck, releasing the tie that bounded his hair. "Duo…" She murmured as he lifted her tanktop a bit.
Across the city, Duo rummages through the debris that was once known as the weapon's store…
2 Whoa, now that's a cliff hanger! TeeHee, if that's not Duo with Mina? Then who is it?! Suspense, suspense, MWHAHAHAHAHA! (Evil laugh). Next chapter: The crew is in a pickle now! Krista finally meets up with Duo, but the two find out they're too late save the ones they love. And will Mina realize in time that's not the real Duo, before she makes a big mistake! All this and more in the next chapter to come, "I've Always Loved You…" Maybe, maybe not. I'm not sure if I like that title, we'll see! Bye now!
Duo held onto Mina tightly as he checked around a corner, "I have to find some place to hide, but where?" He thought hoisting her up a bit.
