Destined to be Death
Chapter 1
"Hey Duo.... can I talk to you?" Hilde entered her and Duo's living room.
"Ah so you want to talk to Bachelor of the year? Usually you have to make and appointment." He grinned up at her from the couch.
"Duo." He had been doing that all week. Ever since she had spotted the magazine at the grocery store and brought it home. Big mistake.
"Just kidding babe." He patted the couch. "What's on your mind?"
"Well," She sat down on the couch and crossed her legs. "you know that Val has asked to marry me."
"Yeah, congrates on that again."
"Well we were talking and since we're engaged now we thought we should live together. Live together here."
"Hey that's great. It'll be fun all living together. Val's a great guy, you know I love him like a brother! This'll be great!"
"Ummmm.... well.... we were hoping to live... together... alone."
"Oh.... oh, that's no problem I'll start packing now." He got up to leave.
"No Duo. You don't have to go now. You can stay here as long as you'd like until you find your own place." She stood up to stop him.
"Look babe," He placed his hands on her shoulders, "you're not hurting my feelings or anything like that. I've been waiting for you to ask me to get lost."
"Duo I'm not-"
"Shush, I've all ready asked Heero if I could crash at his place for a while. He said I could move in with him if I wanted to 'cause he's got an extra room."
That was true. Heero had just moved into a fairly large apartment, large enough for two ex-gundam pilots to live in that is. Apparently, from what Hilde had heard, Heero had been working at the Canq Kingdom and him and Releena were an item. He broke it off suddenly and moved away. Duo told her that wasn't true but you could never tell with Heero Yuy. And Releena wouldn't say anything. She smiled at Duo as he grinned at her.
"I want to give you and Val some alone time. I know how frisky engaged couples are."
"Duo!"
"Don't worry about me babe. You two just have to take me out for a farewell dinner, deal?"
"Deal!" Hilde hugged Duo. "You're the best."
"Same to you babe." Duo sighed as he held her close to him.

'Ding-dong'
"Coming!" Hilde brushed the flour onto her apron and jogged to the door. She opened the door to find a young women standing there. "Hello may I help you?"
The woman smiled. She had a cheerful look on her face. Small framed glasses fit the shape and size of her head perfectly. She was wearing a light blue blouse. Hilde noticed she had a blouse similar and that the skirt she was wearing would go good with it. Her dark red hair was long, past her shoulders. Hilde had just decide to grow her hair out for the wedding. She wished her hair was as long and as beautiful as this woman's.
"Yes, does Duo Maxwell live here?"
"He used to. Why, is he in some kind of trouble again?"
"Trouble.... no. I'm a fan of his. You know he was named Bachelor of the year?"
Hilde just sighed. "Yeah I know."
"So do you know where I can find him."
"Yeah, I can give you his new address."
"That'd be great thanks!"
Hilde motioned her to come in. As she walked to the kitchen she asked her, "So what's your name?"
"Kana!" She stood waiting in the porch, "Kana, Lamia."
Hilde came back into the porch holding a small piece of paper, "Here you go Kana. The apartment building is just a few blocks away from here. But he might not be home yet." Hilde smiled politely and handed her the address.
"Thank you Mrs..... I didn't catch your name."
"Just call me Hilde."
"Thank you Hilde. I better get going. Bye."
"Good-bye."

Kana looked down at the piece of paper Hilde had given her. She stopped in front of the door with the number 13 on it. Smirking to herself, "Figures." First she tried to open to the door, it was locked. Shrugging she knocked. No answer. Her face crumpled in frustration. Then looking down the hallway to make sure no one was coming she tapped her finger twice on the door and it opened. Smiling she walked in.
The place was dark. All the blinds were closed tight not letting in shred of sunlight. It reminded her of the dump she called home. She didn't recognize the scent of the room. It wasn't a bad smell. She rather liked it. Maybe some sort of cologne this Duo Maxwell wears. There were a lot of clothes dispersed around the room. Typical men, she thought, but then again it was cleaner then her place. She went over to a desk with a laptop on it. She fingered through all the papers.
"Hmm...... what's this?" She picked up a piece of paper.
"Hey! Who are you? What are you doing in my place?"
Kana quickly turned around, hands behind her back trying to put the paper back on the desk.
"I asked you a question!"
A tall man, about 6" tall, stood at the door way with his hands on his hips. He was wearing a worn out pair of blue jeans and a black button-up T-shirt. Kana smiled as she recognized who he was. The long braid gave his identity away.
She slowly walked towards him. Licking her lips she whispered loud enough for him to hear, "Shinigami himself."
