Krista busted through the cathedral's doors and tripped over the carpet, "SON OF A.!" She cussed biting her lip realizing she was in a church. Krista jumped back to her feet and looked around, "Where are they? That dang gypsy said they be here!" She whined plopping herself on the seats. The sun reflected through the stained glass windows and shined over the cross above her. "What if I was too late once again? What if I'm the only one left?" Krista wondered as she wiped the tears from her eyes. She then laid back on the bench and pulled her knees close to her chest, gazing at the crucifix. "Mina, Duo, Quatre." She murmured hoping they would hear her. "Please be safe."
~***~
Mina moaned as Duo gently touched her stomach and kissed upon her neck, "Duo.This, this isn't." She tried to speak but was cut off by another deep kiss. "Shhhhh.." Duo hushed continuing to rub her up on her sides. Mina's mind was spinning, everything was happening so fast. She didn't want him to stop, by something was telling her other wise. Mina gasped as his hands reached up her shirt, "Duo." She whimpered letting her hands brush through his long.blonde.hair? Suddenly Mina's eyes grew wide as she held the golden strands in her grasp, "Duo?" She cried pushing him off her. "Something wrong Mina dear?" He grinned as his body transformed into Zechs. Mina tried to scream and kick him off, but the vampire was too strong for her weak state. He covered her mouth with his palm, and used the other to pin her hands down, "Stupid, stupid girl." Zechs taunted tightening the grip on her mouth. Mina squirmed underneath him, but was getting more and more exhausted. "At this rate, I won't be able to stay up. Oh God, how could I be so naive!?" She thought feeling his breath on her face. Zechs laughed as he watched her struggle, "Now, let's get you back to the Master." He spoke hoisting her off the bed.
"I don't think so Zechs."
Zechs glared at the figure sitting in the window frame, "Heero Yuy, should of known you come and ruin things." He scowled backing away. Heero stepped down, never taking his gaze off him. "I'm not letting you take her back to Treize." He growled flashing his fangs. "And you, are going to stop me?" Zechs chuckled, "You can barley stand on your own two feet." Heero just ignored him and charged. Zechs tossed Mina aside like a rag doll and prepared for the assault. They both tumbled to the floor, rolling about. Heero was over Zechs with his dagger, aiming for the heart. "You fool! You could have had it all, but you threw it all away for some tramp who doesn't even love you!" Zechs hissed trying to keep the knife from piercing him. Heero didn't respond as he kept driving the blade closer and closer. Finally, Zechs over powered the boy and was now above him. "How did it feel Heero, when you watched your beloved in the arms of another man? Not just once, but twice!" He mocked turning the dagger on him. Heero winced in pain as the tip of the blade started to break the skin; "I may.be a fool, about that. But I was. the only one smart enough.to see what he really wants with us! I know you're not that blind.Zechs, you know very well his intentions.and what you have to do to fill them!" Heero yelled still trying to yank the knife back. But to his surprise, Zechs had stop. His blonde locks were covering his sapphire eyes, hiding what he knew was the truth. Heero took this opportunity to throw Zechs off of him, and kicking the vampire across the face. Zechs went flying and slammed against the wall, and in a blink of an eye was punched hard in the stomach. Heero walked away from the unconscious man and lifted Mina in his arms. He then leaped out the window and down the alleyways, taking her far away from any harm.

"I know it's gotta be here, its just gotta!" Duo panicked searching through the rubble. He had to be quick, before the authority sees him and questions his actions. "Come on, come on!" He wailed digging deeper. "YES, HERE IT IS!" Duo gleamed as a trap door came into view. He yanked it opened and pulled out a scythe and a black cloak, "Always keep a spare, just in case of emergency." He smirked vanishing out of sight just as the cops came. "I knew this was going to happen Kats." Duo thought heading back to the cathedral. "But you just had to be the hero, didn't you..." His voice cracked as he fought back the angry he felt inside. "They won't get away with this!" Duo cried running through the crowd, not caring he was getting "the look". Finally, he made it back to the church and dashed through the doors, "MI.na?"
The priest gazed up from his prayer as well as the others who sat in the benches. "Oh.I'm so sorry! Please, continue.Father! Hahahahahaha! Forgive me!" Duo apologized as he bowed repeatedly. His eyes then searched all around the room, searching for Mina. "No, this can't be! She was right here, she.she."
"Is there something wrong my son?" The priest asked walking up to him. Duo turned around clutching his hair, "A woman, there was a woman in here. She was lying in that bench up front, sorta, kinda out of it. Have you seen her!?" Duo shouted getting frantic.
"Hmmm.Ah yes. I did see a young woman here with dark hair."
"Really!? Did you know where she went?"
"I believe the security sent her out because she was sleeping on the seats. I tried to stop them, but the girl had already left."
Duo felt a nauseating blow to his stomach, "Mina." He uttered running out of the cathedral. "If she left the sanctuary in her condition.Oh God, I hope I'm not to late! MINA! MINA! MIIIINNNNAAAA!!!" Duo screamed checking the back area. Still nothing, "I swear, if Zechs did anything to her.I'll.I'll." But before Duo could finish, something caught his eye. It quickly swooshed back behind the corner and then jumped to the rooftop. Duo immediately followed after it, but didn't get too far as it came back tumbling down (on him). "Owie! Owie! Ow!" Krista cried rubbing her tush. "What the hell did I land on!?" She wondered looking underneath her. Krista jumped a mile high when she realized it was a person, "HOLY SHIT! I'M SORRY, I'M SO SORRY! OH CRAP I KILLED A HIM! But wait, it was self- defense! Yeah that's it; that's what I'll tell them! MWHAHAHAHAHAHA!" Krista laughed madly, not noticing he was still alive-and getting up. "Or I could hide the body, but maybe not in front of the church. But then they would never think to look in a church.or would they?"
"Krista?"
"Duo?"
They both reached out with open arms and hugged each other, laughing with joy. "Oh my God, I can't believe it's you!" Krista cheered tightening her grip. "Me.ack!.Too!" Duo choked pulling her off. "But what the hell are you doing here? Shouldn't you be in New York?"
"I came back because.well." She stuttered trying to find the right words, without making herself cry. "I was followed, and Trowa.He and this guy named.Uh, Train? Treise? Whatever, they tried to take me but I fought back and kicked some ass! So then I came back because of course I had to tell you guys but I lost Quatre's phone number so I couldn't call you and you weren't at the shop, but the shop wasn't even there! So I went searching for you guys and then I ran into that old gypsy hag and she told me something had happen to one of you but the others were at the church and so I went to the church but no one was inside so I waited and waited until I fell asleep and then some security guards woke me up thinking I was like some bum and kicked me out! So then I decided to look around back and I thought the guards were following me so I tried to jump on the rooftop but I miss and then landed on top of you and then we hugged and all that good stuff!" Duo just stared at her amazed as she stopped to take a breath. "Okay, I'm done." Krista smiled hugging him again. "Wow, um.this is a surprise Krista. And I'm happy to see you and all, but." Duo replied lowering his head. "What? What is it?" she asked becoming worried. "The gypsy was right about one thing, something has happened.to Quatre." Duo spoke gazing away. Krista stood there speechless as all her fears became true, "No.No." Were the only words she could speak as a smiling image of Quatre faded away.

The sun was sinking in beyond the clouds, changing the once blue sky to a reddish glaze. Heero flew against the wind and landed easily inside a window, still holding Mina within his grasp. He carefully placed her on the bed, brushing away the raven locks that covered her face. "Heero?" Mina uttered regaining consciousness. "I'm sorry." He whispered gently stroking her cheek with his hand. Mina sat up and stared at the man once known as her enemy, gazing into his ocean filled eyes. "I'm sorry for everything.though no words will ever be enough, for you to forgive me." Heero apologized sitting down next to her. "What's with all the sentimental crap? You know I don't like that shit." Mina joked forcing a smile. They sat there in awkward silence, only hearing the commotion brought by the streets below. "I didn't want to." Heero suddenly announced out of the blue. "What do you mean?" Mina questioned as she turned towards him. "Back then when we first met, all I ever wanted was for you to be by my side." He breathed clasping his hands together. "Whatever made me think I could trust him, when he was the one who.But he told me, if I wanted to make you a vampire, I must kill all the ones you love and cherish. So I would be the only thing in your life, so I would be the only thing you love.And I believed him." Memories soon flooded Mina's mind, as she saw herself screaming when Heero had murdered her family. That day, that horrid day she could never forget. Everything that was good inside her, died the morning he had walked in her life. And she swore on her family's grave, she would never forgive him and end his life like he did to theirs. "So, you thought by murdering my Mom, my Father, my sister that I would love you back?" Mina asked forcing the vampire to look her in the eyes. "I know, I wasn't thinking." He answered trying to pull away. "I just.I just.wanted you to love me."
Mina lifted his chin and kissed him softly on the lips, "I do, Heero. Even though I've always told myself I didn't."
"I've always loved you."
Heero stood there in shock, never expecting for her to return his feelings. And then, he smiled. A real smile, because for once in his life, he was truly happy. Heero returned the kiss back, and Mina gratefully took it. Delicately embracing one another, as they fell gently upon the bed.
Now what do you suppose that means? Hmmm.But don't you worry, all.okay most of your questions will be answered! Did Mina and Heero.Why is Quatre captured? What is Treize's true purpose? What is the Dark Moon? Where is Wufei? How come Zechs keeps getting his ass kicked? And can Duo and Krista figure out a plan, or will they just get a burger instead? Find out in the next chapter to come: "My China Doll"
The time has come, for you to be mine.
