Darkness Rising chapter 6
The figure entered but didn't move to attack. This caused much curiosity for everyone else in the room. Heero sat up more and glared at the cloaked stranger. He was clothed in a long dark green cape that hung to his ankles, leather boots, and the hood of the cape hid his features. Whenever the man moved, the garment rippled like the water of a lake after a pebble disturbed the glassy surface. Suddenly the man crossed the room to Heero's bedside and began to examine him thoroughly.
"What the Hell are you doing?" Heero yelled in the guy's ear and kneed him sharply in the groin. The man grunted audibly and crumpled to his knees.
"Itai..." wheezed out a familiar voice. A voice that sounded strangely like...
"MAXWELL!" screeched Wufei as he leapt on to the collapsed boy and pulled back the hood to reveal a grimacing Duo. "I can't believe it! We all thought you were dead! What happened? Oh! Omae o kurosu, Baka no baka!" Wufei hauled Duo to his feet and sat him gently on the edge of the bed. As an after thought he hand him a handkerchief because tears were streaming down his cheeks and his eyes were pretty bugged out, but he also knew how hard Heero could hit.
After getting over the shock of Duo returning from the dead, Heero realized that a knee to that specific place was not called for. He grimaced inwardly at the thought of how much force he had put into that one attack.
"Duo, uh, gomen nasai." Heero murmured so that only Shinigami could hear.
"No problem man!" Duo squeaked back. "Hey, now I can sing soprano!"
Trowa stared at Duo and turned to Quatre. Quatre was smiling happily and bouncing slightly, so he figured that it must really be Duo. He turned back to the Deathscythe pilot. "Duo, you said something about being enlightened, what did you mean? Another question is, if you didn't die then why did we find a body?"
"Oh, uh, well, that is a difficult question to answer. Let's see. I never died. I am Shinigami after all. The body was a clone of some sort. It'll take a while to explain everything..."
"So start explaining, baka," snorted Wufei who pulled up a chair. Duo sighed and shot a glance at Heero, who was fidgeting with the sheets of Trowa's bed.
"Um, well... Hey! Where'd Sally go?" Duo looked spastically around the room as if searching for an escape route. Nobody noticed Quatre clutching his chest, with a pained look on his face.
Sally leaned against the wall at the end of the hallway. Sighing she looked up at the ceiling and wondered to herself the usual `I wonder's. (I wonder what life truly is, are we really alone in the universe, how does Trowa keep his hair like that, you know what I mean.) She blew a strand of unruly hair out of her eyes and licked her lips. `I'm thirsty,' she smiled and turned to walk down the steps.
Tap, tap, tap.
"Huh?" Sally turned to look behind her. Scanning eye level and finding nothing, her gaze shifted down to where the tapping came from. She examined the wall near the floor with no results. "Well, that was unusual." She didn't say anything next because something tapped her on the back. She turned in surprise to find a little demon grinning from ear to ear with its needle-like teeth. She opened her mouth to scream as it pointed its clawed finger at her and mouthed, "Boo". Then there was darkness.
Heero heard something hit the ground and jumped out of the bed. Trowa and Wufei didn't say anything, but followed him closely out the door. Duo helped Quatre over to the bed and stayed with him. He REALLY didn't want to know what had fallen. Quatre had passed out seconds before Heero jumped up. That usually wasn't a good sign. Wufei came scrambling back into the room and dashed for the bathroom. He slammed the door and retching could be heard. Duo cringed. `What could make Wufei sick like that? Better not ask. Might be gross...'
"Duo! Get out here NOW!"
`Darn too late,' Duo ran into the hall way and straight into Heero. Trowa was sitting on the floor starring at a rather large splatter of blood on the wall. Heero looked over his shoulder at Duo.
"That's not the worst of it. Look down the stairs."
"But I don't want to Hee-"
"JUST DO IT DUO!" Heero screamed in to Duo's face and dragged him to the edge of the stairs. At the bottom lay the body of Sally Po. Well, most of the body. Her head was hanging from the ceiling fan and an arm was missing but other that that it was all there. `That explains Wufei.' Duo looked over at Heero who had a fixed glare on him.
"What is going on, Duo?" He asked, grinding his teeth in emphasis. Duo shrunk under his stare. Suddenly Heero's arm shot from his side, grasping Duo firmly around the neck. He brought the other in up in suit. He roughly forced Duo against the wall and shook him fiercely. "What is happening to me DAMNIT? Tell me Duo! Tell me or I'll kill you here and now!" Duo believed him too.
"I'll tell you... just let go... of me... please, I can't breath," He gasped as Heero released his grip and sat down hard. "Heero, I'll tell you. I will, I promise. But right now, we have to leave this place right now!"
"Why!" Heero spun and punched the wall. He retracted his fist from an extremely deep hole in the sheet rock.
"I'll tell you as soon as we get somewhere safe! Now come on!" The end of Duo's sentence was followed by a scream of agony from Trowa's room. "CRAP! I left Quatre alone!" Duo ran dragging Heero behind him into Trowa's room. The sight was horrible. Trowa lay shriveled in the far corner and five demons were literally sucking Quatre dry. The largest of the group looked up at Duo with a satisfied grin.
"Sssssooooooo, you managed to find him." It hissed and wiped some blood from its chin. "Massssster will be pleassssed. He had great confidence in you." Duo gaped at the little monster and tried to form words.
"WHAT THE HELL!" Wufei had finished his bathroom session. Immediately, four of the demons raced at him. Wufei cursed in Chinese and reach for his katana in time to remember that he didn't have it. The creatures leapt onto him and sunk their teeth into every available piece of exposed skin. Wufei fought them for as long as he could but finally went down after screaming for Duo to get Heero out of there.
Duo grabbed Heero's arm and pulled him back down the hall and flew down the stairs. They ran past Sally's body and out the door. Duo threw open the driver side door of Quatre's SUV and revved the engine as Heero rammed the seat belt into the catch. Both slamming the door at the same time, Duo put the car in reverse and floored it.
Once on the highway Duo slowed from 110 mph to 80 and managed to breath again. Heero stared out the windshield, clutching and un-clutching his fists in fury. Duo turned on some music to help calm his nerves.
"Well, Heero. What station do you want to hear?"
"Shut up Duo."
"Heero, I don't think that's a station. How about some Metalica?"
"Duo, I'm warning you for the last time..."
"Do you want to listen to The Black Album?"
"SHUT UP!"
Duo put in the CD and got quiet. Twenty miles down the road he pulled off at the harbor.
"What are we doing here Duo?"
"Getting a room. What does it look like? We're at the hotel aren't we?"
"Hn..."
"Right. Stay here and don't let any demon things in the car."
"Hn..."
Duo climbed out of the car and stalked into the lobby. He paid for their room and got the keys. He checked the floor number. `24^th floor? Well, the monkey brigade will have fun trying to get at us, now won't they?' He walked back to the car and knocked on the window for Heero to get out. He just stared at him. Duo knocked again. This time Heero picked up a sheet of paper and a pen and scribbled something and pressed it against the glass.
"You told me not to let little demon thingies in." Duo read out loud. "What! Heero get out now!" Heero scribbled again.
"Bite me?" Duo's jaw would have crashed into the cement if it weren't for the fact that it was attached. He threw his hands up in defeat and held out the room key. Heero opened the door and climbed out. Duo was not going to have a good night. He sighed and led Heero into the building.
"Milord, they are nearing the ancient battle site. They have stopped for the night. Do we stick to the plan or let them come?" asked a scrawny goblin. He really disliked being above ground and hated to be on the water. But that is where he was, and he wasn't happy. His communication portal to the other world was rocking slightly and he was getting a little seasick. He groaned as the deep voice echoed out of the small window between existences.
"Let them come. He won't escape this time. No he won't. This time I'll be ready for anything and this time," the voice chuckled harshly and the goblin cringed. "This time he will die."
AN:: You will get an explanation in the next chapter. I had no idea how this was going to turn out until this chapter started. Hope you liked it. *evil grin* Sorry about taking so long. I promise to get the next one out sooner. Who has an idea of what is going on? What is the deal with this Dark Lord guy? Review please!
Heero:: My head hurts...
Duo:: Your head hurts...
Both:: -_-
Heero:: I think we're in trouble.
D.D.04:: Not at all! Besides, it's just a fic... *another maniacal grin*
