Disclaimer: The hagoromo myth isn't mine and can be recognized in many stories around the world. (You may recognize it from Ayashi no Ceres, but I got it from a play called 'Hagoromo'). Gundam Wing isn't mine. I just love the boys so, here's a fic.
Between Eden and Hell
By miyamoto yui
Part 1 – Deceiving eyes…
Quatre's troubled eyes watched the water as he turned over his hand to let it flow out of his palm. Then, he sadly returned to Heaven trying to devise a plan while keeping the disappearance of Wufei a secret as long as he could.
Meanwhile within a stone castle's throne room…
Yawning in his throne, a chestnut haired beauty touched his gloved right hand lightly over his mouth. Then, he stared the growing pile of people he had to pick up from the human realm and transport them to purgatory for judgment.
Unlike Wufei, the God of Death had to make personal rounds to the human realm quite frequently. He didn't allow anyone else to do it because he loved the satisfaction of going to Earth, especially Japan, and basically loved being such a nuisance among its residents. The gods and goddesses under him were free to do as they pleased; and whenever trouble arose, they were to return to Hell. Of course, they knew their limit as well as the dwellers of Heaven knew that clashing with the superiors of Hell was a daily routine.
A handsome young man with tight arms showing because of his black turtle neck typed quickly on his laptop. In actuality, it was unnecessary, but he insisted that he couldn't live without the laptop. And how could his Lord refuse him since he was the favorite?
Blinking at the stack of files of people to be picked up, Duo finally got up as he found a different colored paper being put into the stack. It was red.
"Oh, it seems that I have to pick up someone special today," he sarcastically commented to his advisor as he walked towards him.
"Here's the data you'll need," his advisor said to him without his eyes leaving his laptop. Instead, he shoved the stack of papers into Duo's hands.
"I need a challenge." Duo, without a second thought, took the papers and instantly set them on fire when they touched his hands. "I don't need papers. I'll find these people by instinct. Especially the red-colored one."
"Don't mess around and try to tease the humans again. That got you into a lot of trouble last time."
Type, type.
"Are you jealous, Heero?" Duo's eyebrow slightly went up. He loved this kind of attention.
Duo patted Heero on the head as he winked his eye at him. "I said don't worry. Everything's under control."
Heero didn't even blink an eye as he turned his head towards Duo with a deadpan answer of, "Jealousy is extra energy and effort that could be used for something more important."
Then, Heero turned his chair towards Duo as Duo slipped himself onto Heero's lap while placing his hands on each cheek of Heero's face while looking deeply into his deep blue eyes.
"You're exactly right!" Duo smiled at Heero while leaning his lips closer to Heero's ear. His eyes playfully looked around the empty room. "As for that extra energy, use it on me in a different way?"
Heero sighed while monotonously replying, "Don't you ever tire?"
Biting Heero's ear, Duo laughed and shook his head. "Nope."
At that moment, Heero smirked. Encouraged by this 'go' signal, Duo began to force an entry into Heero's tightly closed lips. Duo always enjoyed things of that nature…
As Duo delayed his trip to the human realm, the spirit of Wufei was in the process of being reborn.
Days later, even though Duo had cleared his stack of files, he still couldn't find the 'special one' that he was supposed to find and had motivated him to go to the Earth in the first place. Heero's brow twitched at his idiocy and tried to look up the file again, but it was already deleted because the person had already reincarnated.
Heero could find no explanation for this except that 'special person's record' was probably erased.
Quatre, who was now the temporary ruler of Heaven, read and re-read his oracle, but it had all come to nothing. The only thing he could do was intercede the record of Wufei within 'Death's list' with the help of his stoic, yet strong bodyguard Trowa, the god of Thunder.
"Until he appears on Earth once more, I can't find him." Quatre paced back and forth in the throne room as he pondered on his next move. "Even the oracle can't find him."
Trowa just nodded his head in agreement as he stood next to the front door.
Then, Quatre's face became paler as he sighed. "The oracle can't find him because the oracle cannot read anyone who is higher than itself. So, it cannot surpass Wufei."
"Just wait it out. That's all you can do." Trowa responded as he cleared his throat. "What you have to do now is figure out how you are going to explain this to everyone."
Quietly, the blond advisor nodded his head.
Days, then weeks, passed until Quatre had to finally reveal to the court what had happened. There was a strict code of entering the human realm from then on. On the other hand, within Hell, Duo continued to be frustrated by the fact that he couldn't find whomever he was supposed to find.
Months and years passed until Quatre finally found a boy who was growing into the image of his friend and lord. Everyone was relieved, but there was still that main problem. How could they get their lord back to Heaven?
They could barely manage the Earth's prosperity without Wufei and they became weary of the future.
Turning seventeen years of age, a human figure which shadowed its likeness to that of the Dragon God, laid upon a seashore of Japan.
Blinking his eyes at the sun, Wufei rubbed his eyes and he looked all around him. Sitting up, he looked at his hands and at the outfit he was wearing. He didn't know why, but he always got upset and annoyed whenever he wore his clothes for fishing. And this continued each day of his life without any signs of stopping or finding an answer.
Stretching his arms, he yawned as he looked at the shore. "I have to go today."
Looking at his shadow, he tilted his head and rubbed his chin. "I still have a few more minutes before then."
When he was heading towards his boat, his eyebrow slightly rose as he saw something glittering a few yards away from him. A black cloak lined with gold…
"How strange…" he mumbled to himself and went into the jungle of green before him. But thinking about his family, he returned to get the cloak thinking someone had lost it and it was his good fortune to find it.
Then, he heard whistling not too far away.
Walking further and further, he pushed a large leaf aside and saw a small waterfall with someone taking a bath underneath it. The long-haired one continued to whistle without care at their own indiscretion.
The person's head slightly turned. With eyes closed, the person continued to smile at the satisfaction of taking such a great bath.
Looking at the profile of this person, Wufei's eyes slightly widened with admiration at the person's beauty. Then, he looked at the cloak and at the person.
Staring once more at the person's profile, he couldn't understand why these two things were familiar to him…

Author's note: This is really quite strange for me. I'm an avid 1x2 lover and this anime is actually my best friend's favorite. I hope that I haven't shamed her precious Wufei. * winces * Oh she'll kill me! * winces more *
Red is a very important color to the costumes of Noh actors. It represents youth and power.
