Chapter 3

It had only taken Duo and Heero 20 minutes to get packed. Duo would have taken longer had Heero not have helped him. While waiting, Kana had gotten on her cell phone and made arrangement for their transportation. Her connections with a few shuttle pilots had able her to get their own private shuttle. It would take them right to Rome, Italy.

The ride to the space port wasn't long but it was very quiet. Heero, Kana quickly figured out, wasn't the talkative type. He was driving, pretty much keeping his eyes on the road. Once and a while he glanced at her in the back seat. She would quickly look out the window every time he did that. Not wanting him to know she was burning a hole in the back of his head, staring at him. There was just something about him that Kana did not like. He had said that he didn't trust her. Well she didn't trust him all that much either. Duo seemed to be mumbling to himself. Probably still in shock from what was going on. Heero would glare at him if he got to loud and he quickly shut up. Kana had a feeling Heero wasn't somebody even Duo wanted to mess with.
Once they got to the space port, Kana lead Heero and Duo to a check out station. A young man dressed in a security outfit was standing behind the counter. He had long blond hair and the most beautiful bewitching eyes. Kana smiled, "Hey Allen!"

"Kana, it's been a long time."

"Yeah, and I'd love to stay and chat but I'm kinda in a hurry."

"I got your message. Your shuttle is already for departure."

"Great," She turned around to Heero and Duo, "You guys aren't carrying anything like guns and weapons like that?"

Duo glanced at Heero and smiled as Heero shook his head. Duo looked back at Kana, "If you're wondering if it would be safe for us to go through a metal detector, I'd have to say, no."

Kana eyed Heero for a moment and twisted back to Allen and smiled cheerfully.

Allen frowned as his hand hovered over the keyboard in front of him. He punched in a couple keys and the metal detector loud hum faded until it was off. "You owe me big."

"Don't I always!" Kana giggled. She picked up her bag leaned over the counter and gave Allen a quick kiss on the cheek. Then she motioned for Duo and Heero to follow her again.

Heero stared at Duo, and he thought I was insane, he thought. Kana had just explained to him the nature of their visit to earth. He wouldn't have believed a word the woman had said if it hadn't all made sense. The part about Duo being the God a Death, a legendary demon destined to destroy the world, he was still having a bit of trouble comprehending the whole idea. But he had already known about demons, vampires and other such evils. It's not like he didn't know what he was using for target practice during his training. Those Vamps didn't have a chance against the perfect solider. But Dr. J thought Heero didn't know about the gene steroids. He wasn't the perfect solider for nothing. Hacking into Dr. Js files was easy and he soon found out the truth. That Dr. J had been pumping him full of demon genes. Heero had no grudge against the doctor. The genes had made him stronger and had practically no bad side effects.

Heero just couldn't figure out why Duo trusted Kana Lamia so much. To actually agree to go with her. This could be one big trap. The braided baka, it's a good thing he has a friend like me. He looked to his right, Duo was just sitting there staring at the back of Kana's seat. He then looked at Kana who had her nose in a book.

"What are you?" Heero broke the silence.

Kana nearly jumped out of her seat. Duo glanced at Heero with a puzzled look on his face.

"Excuse me?" Kana put her book down and twisted around in her seat.

"What are you? What do you do?"

"What do you mean what do I do?"

"You told us that you have to bring Duo to the Vatican. Who sent you?"

"The priests at the Vatican of course."

"And what do you do there."

"I'm a scholar. I study the books there. I'm studying to be a prophet."

"Hmn..." Heero folded his arms over his chest and stared blankly ahead.

Kana rolled her eyes, and shrugged. Just as she sat back down Heero asked another question making her jump again, "What do the Prophesies say about Duo."

"Heero," Duo growled, "She already said that I'm gonna destroy the world can you just drop it."

"I want to know what they said exactly." Ignoring Duo, "You said you were studying to be a prophet you should know what they said."

"ummmmm..... well the only one that comes to mind is.... now how did that go.... oh, it went something like. After the war of the metal men, the self proclaimed Shinigami will come."

"Hmn.... What book are you reading?"

"It's a novel."

"Can I see it?"

"What's with all the questions?"

"I want to see you book."

"Well to bad I'm reading it"

"Would you both shut-up!" Duo snapped

* * * * *

"You guys go get our luggage and I'll check our passports." Kana waved their passports as she walked away from them.
She started humming a song she had heard playing on the speakers above her head. Her eyes were shut to the world, able to see her way without them. Everything was going perfectly. How could anything go wrong? Suddenly her senses perked up. Two vampires. Strange, it's still light out, why would they be...? Oh no. Kana realized who the vamps were when she recognized to very pale faces coming towards her.

"Reynar, Shade! How are my two favorite blood suckers?"

"Cut the crap, Kana. Where's our money?" The taller vampire came up and grabbed her by her caller.

"Shade. Be gentle this is an expensive blouse." she pushed away from him. "Look you guys. I have your money, just not on me. I just got back from the colonies. I'm not caring that kind of cash around the world ok."

"We want our money now you little bitch!"

"I'll have it by tomorrow."

"We said now!"

"And I said tomorrow. Look, I've got a big job going on. I'm getting paid tomorrow. I double what I owe you if you can just wait."
Reynar, obviously the brains out of the two, thought about this for a moment. "What's the job?"

Kana smiled and pointed over to the luggage pick up area. "See the guy with the long braid." Reynar nodded, "He's the God of Death."
Reynar raised an eyebrow. "Are you kidding?"

"No that's him. The real thing. I'm bringing him to the Vatican today. There's a big reward for him. And you know how well those holy guys pay"

"What your giving him over to those holy shits? You know Dalton ain't gonna be happy 'bout that."

"Eh, I could care less if Dalton gets angry with me. He can go and sit on a cross and rotate."
"You're one dangerous little witch." Reynar shook his head, "Did I ever tell you how hot you look." Reynar put his cold hands on her hips bringing her close to him.
"yes, unfortunatly." Kana tried to push away but he grabbed her wrists.

"Where you going babe?" He tighten his grip as she struggled to get free.

A hand planted itself on Reynar's arm, "Hey man, let her go." Duo pulled on Reynar's arm.

Startled, the vampire let go of Kana and backed away. "Hey sorry.... didn't know she was with you." He looked straight into Duo's eyes. Fear emanating from his own cold dead eyes. "Come on Shade." Before he left he pointed at Kana, "Tomorrow!"

"What was that?" Duo asked concerned. Heero just stood behind him a couple of steps.

"Nothing, they're just some jerks I know. Don't worry about it." She paused, "Well we should get going."

* * * * *

Heero phoned up a taxi company as Kana and Duo did the passports. Right after that he phoned up the operator.

"Hello, can you connect me to Quatre Winners office in London?"

"Yes sir."

'Ring...... ring' "Hello Winner enterprise, Anne speaking."

"Is Mr. Winner there?"

"I'm sorry, but Master Winner is busy right now-"

"This is Heero Yuy."

"Oh, Mr. Yuy. I didn't know it was you. I'll connect you to his private office."

"Thank you."

'Ring' "Heero? How are you?"

"Hey Quatre. Duo and I are on Earth."

"That's great! Are you guys going to come by and visit."

"Hmn, maybe. We're in Italy. We might come by later."

"What are you doing in Italy."

"Mission."

"Oh, well be sure to call again and try and come visit ok."

"Hmn" Heero hung up and walked outside to wait for the cab.

The cab driver helped them with their suitcases and then they were off. Kana and Duo were sitting in back and Heero sat up in the passengers seat. Heero was still keeping an eye on the woman. After their encounter with the two vampires in the airport he had an even bigger reason not to trust her. As soon as he saw the two men who were talking to Kana he knew what they were. Pale skin, oddly handsome looks, just the way they were dressed had given them away as being the walking dead.

Kana was on her cell phone. She said she had to call the people at the Vatican to make sure they knew they were coming. Heero relaxed and listened to what she was saying.

"I want to speak to father Cambell, please." Pause, "what do you mean he's unavailable? Tell him Ms. Lamia wants to speak to him now!" Another pause, "Good, yes I'll hold." She sighed and looked out at the window. "Father how are you? Yes this is important but- Fine. I've found Shinigami." Heero could hear the father yelling on the other line as Kana held the phone away from her ear. "No this isn't a scam. It's the real thing. I'm telling you the truth!"

"Want me to talk to him?" Duo asked, he also eavesdropping on the girls conversation.

"No that's ok. No I wasn't talking to you father. Look, we're headed
over to your place right now." More yelling, "Fine! We won't come. I'll take him to someone who cares!" There was a long pause, "Good I'm glad you see it my way Father. We'll be there in about half an hour. Conditions? Like what?" Pause, "What?...... fine I agree. Yes I swear! Good-bye father."

Heero made what sounded like a snicker as he turned his attention back to the scenery.

"What?" Kana hissed at him.

Heero shrugged, "I didn't say anything."

"Yeah right." Kana glared at him and then looked back out the window.
