Chapter 7
Kana and Duo had been in some kind of trance for the past few hours. She had said a few words that Heero didn't reconize. Then he felt this wave a power shoot from the center of her magic circle. After that happened Kana and Duo were quiet. Their eyes were closed as they just sat there in the circle. Before Kana chanted the spell she left them with a warning, "Do not, under any circumstances disturb us. Don't touch the circle, don't even come near the thing." So the whole time Heero sat back and watched. Watched for any signs of them comng out of it.
Quatre went off to pick up Trowa from the airport. Apperently Trowa did a little magic and would be a big help with this whole situation. Heero felt that the Arabian just wanted Trowa near him but he didn't say anything. They were both back in about an hour of Quatres departure. Trowa hadn't changed very much. He still had his hair styled the same way, he still had the same expersionless face on. They came into the empty room Kana had choosen to use. The room was in the basement so the floor would be easy to write on and they wouldn't be disturbed easily.
"Hello Heero." Trowa greeted him.
Heero tilted his head a bit, "Hello Trowa."
"They're still like that?" Quatre asked concerned.
"How long?" Trowa questioned.
"About 2 and a half hours. They haven't moved except Duo has been breathing really hard for the past hour and a half." Heero held out a book open to Trowa, "This is the spell she casted."
"Hmm.." Trowa skimmed the page with his finger. "It won't be long now."
"Trowa tell Heero what you told me in the car. Who Kana Lamia really is."
Heero perked up as Trowa began, "Kana Lamia is the most powerful spell caster in the world."
"I thought she was a witch?"
"She could be. No one really knows much about her."
"How powerful is she?"
"Very."
"Could you compare her strength to anything?"
Trowa thought about this for a moment, "She could level a gundam with one blow. And still have the energy to blow up a few more."
Heero blinked. He never knew such a power exsitied. For once his faced took on the expression of shock.
Trowa continued, "It's very odd that she has decided to help Duo with his... predicament. She usually demands a lot in return. Unless she has plans for Duo this isn't her style."
"I thought you said she's not well known?"
"Anybody who knows anything about magic knows who Kana Lamia is. Just nobody knows what she is. She has kept her past a secret."
"Her past?"
"She's over 2000 years old."
Heero looked at Quatre, "I think it's time we do things my way." He pulled a gun out from behind his back and headed toward Kana and Duo.
"Heero! She said not to go near the circle!" He just ignored Quatre.
"Heero stop! You don't know what may happen if you disturb them."
Heero didn't care nor stop. He walked right over the chalk line and the instant he did a great wave of energy blasted him off his feet into the wall behind him.
"Heero!" Quatre ran up to the perfect soilder. "Are you ok?"
"What the hell!?"
Heero sat up to see a very angry Kana glaring at him. Duo beside her was grasping his chest trying to breathe. Kana leaned over to Duo and asked him something and he nodded. Then she got up and stormed over to Heero. "I told you not to go near the circle! You could have gotten us killed!!"
Heero managed to get to his feet so he could look her in the eye, "What are you up to?"
"What?! Don't you listen?! I told you not to!-"
"I know who you are! So tell me what you're planinng!?"
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
"You are a 2000 year old witch planning to do something to Duo."
Nobody dared to say anything as Heero and Kana glared each other down. Heero knew he had said it all right since Kana didn't have anything to say back to him. All she could do was scowl him. Finally through her grinded teeth she replied, "I'm not planning to do anything but help Duo."
"But that's not the way you work. The only time you help people is when you're getting paid. So I'll ask again, what are you really planning to do with Duo?"
Speaking of the God of Death, he stumbled forward a bit shaken up. He watched to two before him looking at one another like they were a giant steak ready to be eaten. "Heero what is wrong with you!?"
"Kana's a witch!"
"I knew that!"
Everyone gaped at the braided boy Quatre was the fisrt to say anything, "You knew she was a witch."
"Well I wasn't sure," Duo shrugged, "but I just figured that she has to be something like that since she could do magic."
Kana covered her face and shook her head, Heero blinked along with Trowa, and Quatre stared open mouthed.
"What?" Duo questioned everyones looks.
Heero shook himself out of confusion, "It doesn't matter if you knew she was a witch. We can't trust her. She has lied to all of us and-"
"Heero you've all ready bitched about this. If you guys really don't want Kana around then.... we'll leave."
"No Duo!" Quatre wailed, "I mean, you and Kana are both welcomed here. We just want some explanations. Trowa has informed us about who you are Ms Lamia"
"Hey Trowa! Long time no see!" Duo smiled happily.
"Hello Duo. How are you?"
"Well besides the fact that I found out that I'm going to destroy the world... pretty good!"
Trowa nodded and glanced at Kana, "I'm sorry Ms Lamia. I didn't know you hadn't told them anything about yourself yet."
"It's understandble..... who are you?"
"People call me Trowa Baton."
"Well Trowa Barton you're a sorceror. Am I correct?"
He nodded again. Duo was now looking from a quite calm Kana to a smiling Trowa. "Trowa's a..... what? You're a sorceror man?" Trowa nodded once again, "This is really fucked up....That's all I gotta say. First I'm sitting in sidewalk chalk circle thing then lots of shit happens and then I'm back here all of a sudden. Heero has gone bessurk on Kana... but what else is new about that... heh just kidding. But Trowa a soceror! I guess you learn something new everyday. Hey Q-man! What are you an elf?"
The blonde suddenly becamevery nervous, "Actually......"
"What don't tell me.."
"No I'm not an elf. It's nothing really. But I guess if we want Kana to be trueful then I should...... ummm...."
Kana rolled her eyes, "Don't worry I all ready know. Is it from your mother or your fathers side?"
"Huh?"
"Oh come on I can smell the pureness just gushing out of you. It's been making me sick ever since I got here. So who was it? Your Mother or Father?"
"What are you guys talking about?"
"My mother was an angel."
"Yeah that's real nice Quatre but what are you....... oh....... really?" Quatre nodded, "Ooooook. That's a bit different. I didn't know angels could have kids."
Kana snorted, "Angels have kids all the time. They're a bunch of whores. They can't.... you know do it with each other since heavens all pure and everything. So they come down to earth and fuck everything in site. Excuse my language. But where do you think all those saintly people came from. They sure aren't human." She started to giggle.
"Hey!" Quatre cryed.
"Oh I'm sorry, I'm sure your mother was an exception."
"Ok I think I've heard enough," Duo grabbed his head, "This is way to much information to get at one time! Oi Heero if you have anything to share do it now so I don't explode later!" Heero's colbat eyes just stared at the baka. "Well I guess I all ready know you're not human so it won't be that big of a surprize!"
"Duo, what happened with that spell you were under?" Quatre trying to change the subject, "You two were dead to the world for hours."
His smile vanished and his eyes lost their delight, "Nothing. I can't remember." Quatre looked at Kana but she just looked away.
"Did the spell work?" Trowa ask Kana.
"It worked fine."
"So what now?"
Duo pipped in, "I'm kinda hungry. What time is it?"
"Almost noon."
"Good, then we'll continue after lunch!" Duo smiled and started to skip out of the room. Trowa shrugged and followed along with Quatre. Kana stopped at the door and turned around to Heero.
"After you." She smiled.
He just stood there crossing his arms over his chest. "No, after you, I insist."
She shrugged, "Ok!" She left turning to glance back at him grining, "I have no problem of turning my back to you. But I can see how you have to worry about me. The big powerful witch might turn you into a toad right?" She taunted and continued her way out of the room.
* * * * *
Laughter filled the room around them. People were with their friends and families, sharing their stories with one another. The gundam pilots had many to share along with their new aquatnace, Kana Lamia. After much debate, Heero and Kana had gotten their way to go to a small Japanese resturaunt downtown. Duo thought it amazingly funny that the two who wanted to rip each other apart would actually have something in common.
"I studied in Japan many...... many years ago. The japanese have the most interesting views on magic. They believe it is an art form rather then all books and precise spells."
"Your name.... I don't mean to be nosy but do you know what your name means?" Quatre asked curiously. Trowa and Heero shifted their expersionless gaze to her.
A smile crept upon her face, "You know what, you are one of the first people to figure that out. Yes I know what my name means. Kana is Japanese for powerful I suppose Heero knew that. My mentor, from when I was in Japan, he always called me Kana or K-chan." The smile dissapeared for only a moment and returned as bright as normal, "Not many people know latin anymore."
"It sounded familiar to me so I looked it up." Quatre explained.
"Lamia, was my mothers name." She didn't want to explain anymore and thankfully the waitress came to take their orders. Just thinking about her mother made her stomach uneasy. It was one subject that had her crying herself to sleep at nights.
Heero ordered first speaking in Japanese, he ordered some sort of sushi dish. Quatre ordered for Trowa and himself, they got a seafood plater. Duo was at a loss at what to get. He kept pointing things out to Heero asking what they were and if he should get it. Kana giggled at the American. Then she ordered some sushi, crab and samon. Duo poked at Heero for him to order for him. Heero rolled his eyes and spoke in Japanese to the waitress while Duo handed her his menu.
"So what does Lamia mean?" Duo folded his hands in front of him to give the illision of sofiscation.
"Witch."
"Ah I see...."
Nobody said anything, just gave Duo an odd look. Trowa finally spoke up, "I was wondering how did you find Duo? I mean, how did you figure out what he really was?"
"I read the article about him in "KBC" It mentioned that his name was the God of Death. I just figured that I might as well check it out. I just got lucky I guess and got it right on the first try."
"Oh you mean the bachelor of the year article?"
"Yeah."
"Hows that going anyway?" Trowa turned to Duo.
"Pretty damn good for me, but you should ask bachelor number 4!" Duo laughed and shifted his gaze to Quatre who was turning red.
"I still can't believe that you were named number 1." Heero shook his head.
"Neither can I!" complained Quatre, "And that I was number 4."
"You were number 4? That's where I reconized you from." Kana blinked at Quatre.
"Ahh the only reason Quatre was even in that magazine is becasue he's got money. Chicks go for the rich guys even if they're as ugly as Quatre is." Joked Duo.
"Quatre is not ugly, he's as beautiful as an angel!," Trowa realized what he had just said, "Well he is an angel......."
"I don't think it's safe for a Gundam Pilots life to be so public." Heero comented.
"Mine has to be." Quatre said in defend for himself. Trowa now had his arm protectively around the Arabian.
"But not all of it." Trowa added.
"Well I don't think you'll be able to go out into public for a while." Kana told Duo.
"That's not cool."
"Why is that?" Trowa questioned.
"We've got probably a national wide search going on for me and Duo." She pointed at Duo, "By the way, don't go near any churches ok. Both sides are going to want to get their hands on him. Since his power is so impresionable at the stage it's in, which ever side get a hold of him pretty much holds the worlds fate in their hands. It's been what two days since we left L2. So I bet half the demon population knows about Shinigami and then the church and their special force task is probably searching for us as we speak."
Duo seemed totally lost, "wait, what's with this side thing? I don't get it?"
"There are evil being and good beings and their are fighting for control of the earth. To put it simply."
"So, like demons vs humans?"
"It used to be like that but now it's gotten so complicated. There are many humans who are in legue with demons and vampires and witches.... bad ones. Then there are demons and vamps that don't kill. Lately it's gotten really bad since the war ended. Wars are like christmas to the 'bad guys.' Just imagine you're a vampire in a city that is under oppression of a military force it'd be like an all you can eat... or kill buffet. And in the colonies they don't have to wait till night since their is no real sun. Anyway some vamps got a little pissy when the war ended so they've been eating out more. Not to mention all the vampires that were created during the war."
"I didn't think it was that bad." Trowa comented.
"I do business with some hunters from the colonies."
"Hunters?"
"Vampire and demon hunters. The good guys. Anyway they tell me that business has never been better. Good for them, but bad for the people all these vamps are eating right. Now if I were a vamp that's been hunted down by all these guys and I heard the God of Death has appeared I would definatly want to get him on my side."
"What makes people think I'm going to help them?" Duo frowned at the thought of being used like that.
"You were ready to help the preists at the Vatican and you're ready to learn from me."
"That doesn't say much in your defense. Now that I think about it you could just use me and then hand me over to one of these vamps that want me." Duo eyed her suspisously, then Heero cleared his throat.
"But," Kana added, "Now that you know all this it's going to be hard for someone to try and use your power right. Even I couldn't do that. But, also people and demons alike are morons. I've learned over many years that people think that they can do anything if they have power. So we've got strong ass demons after us threatening to kill you if you don't join them." Duo looked worried, "Don't worry, once I'm done with you you'll be able to kick some serious demon ass. You might even be able to defeat me." She smiled, "maybe, probably not."
"Doesn't the student always surpase the teacher someday?"
"That's why I said maybe. If you live that long!"
Duo just grinned, "So are you going to teach me any magic?"
"Yeah sure."
"I can help with that." Trowa suggested.
"And the ass kicking part?"
"Duo, you may have been a gundam pilot but once you start using your strength and power while fighting.... it's nothing like you've ever felt before. You'll be faster, stronger, smarter."
"Are you saying I'm none of those thing now."
"Yeah." Heero grunted.
"Heh, better watch out man soon I'll be able to kick the perfect soilders ass."
"Hmf, I doubt it."
Just as Duo was about to say something back a plate was placed in front of him. He looked down at his food, at least he thought it was food. Stipes of gray meat were in the middle surounded by balls of rice and other things he couldn't identify. "What the hell is this?"
"Duo!" Quatre scolded and turned to thank the waitress in Japanese.
"It's blow fish." Heero said as he picked up his chopsticks.
"Can I get a fork or something?"
"Just use the chopsticks."
"But I don't know how to!"
Kana giggles and picked up the sticks next to his plate. She took his hand and placed them in it, "here you hold them like this." Then she moved his hand and picked up a piece of fish. Slowly she pushed his hand up to his mouth and fed it to him.
Duo tired to do what she did without her help but failed miserably. Grinning mischeveously at Kana he said, "Wanna show me how to do it again."
"I'm not feeding you, you baby."
"Oh come on."
"No."
"Duo stop being a flirt!" Heero grumbled.
Duo and Kana looked at each other and then looked down at their plates. Shades of red flushed Kana's face as she started to eat her own food. Why was she thinking like this. Out of all the guys she had ever met none of them had made her blush. Just the thought of that made her face darken even more. A conversation started up without her. She could hear them but she was to busy thinking about Duo. What is with this guy that makes me feel like this she wondered.
TBC sorry it took me so long to get the last chapters in.
Please keep reviewing.
Kana and Duo had been in some kind of trance for the past few hours. She had said a few words that Heero didn't reconize. Then he felt this wave a power shoot from the center of her magic circle. After that happened Kana and Duo were quiet. Their eyes were closed as they just sat there in the circle.

"Her past?"
"She's over 2000 years old."
Heero looked at Quatre, "I think it's time we do things my way." He pulled a gun out from behind his back and headed toward Kana and Duo.
"Heero! She said not to go near the circle!" He just ignored Quatre.
"Heero stop! You don't know what may happen if you disturb them."
Heero didn't care nor stop. He walked right over the chalk line and the instant he did a great wave of energy blasted him off his feet into the wall behind him.
"Heero!" Quatre ran up to the perfect soilder. "Are you ok?"
"What the hell!?"

"What?! Don't you listen?! I told you not to!-"
"I know who you are! So tell me what you're planinng!?"
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
"You are a 2000 year old witch planning to do something to Duo."
Nobody dared to say anything as Heero and Kana glared each other down. Heero knew he had said it all right since Kana didn't have anything to say back to him. All she could do was scowl him. Finally through her grinded teeth she replied, "I'm not planning to do anything but help Duo."

Laughter filled the room around them. People were with their friends and families, sharing their stories with one another.

"What makes people think I'm going to help them?" Duo frowned at the thought of being used like that.
"You were ready to help the preists at the Vatican and you're ready to learn from me."
"That doesn't say much in your defense. Now that I think about it you could just use me and then hand me over to one of these vamps that want me." Duo eyed her suspisously, then Heero cleared his throat.
"But," Kana added, "Now that you know all this it's going to be hard for someone to try and use your power right. Even I couldn't do that. But, also people and demons alike are morons. I've learned over many years that people think that they can do anything if they have power. So we've got strong ass demons after us threatening to kill you if you don't join them." Duo looked worried, "Don't worry, once I'm done with you you'll be able to kick some serious demon ass. You might even be able to defeat me." She smiled, "maybe, probably not."
"Doesn't the student always surpase the teacher someday?"
"That's why I said maybe. If you live that long!"
Duo just grinned, "So are you going to teach me any magic?"
"Yeah sure."
"I can help with that." Trowa suggested.
"And the ass kicking part?"
"Duo, you may have been a gundam pilot but once you start using your strength and power while fighting.... it's nothing like you've ever felt before. You'll be faster, stronger, smarter."
"Are you saying I'm none of those thing now."
"Yeah." Heero grunted.
"Heh, better watch out man soon I'll be able to kick the perfect soilders ass."
"Hmf, I doubt it."
Just as Duo was about to say something back a plate was placed in front of him. He looked down at his food, at least he thought it was food. Stipes of gray meat were in the middle surounded by balls of rice and other things he couldn't identify. "What the hell is this?"
"Duo!" Quatre scolded and turned to thank the waitress in Japanese.
"It's blow fish." Heero said as he picked up his chopsticks.
"Can I get a fork or something?"
"Just use the chopsticks."
"But I don't know how to!"
Kana giggles and picked up the sticks next to his plate. She took his hand and placed them in it, "here you hold them like this." Then she moved his hand and picked up a piece of fish. Slowly she pushed his hand up to his mouth and fed it to him.
Duo tired to do what she did without her help but failed miserably. Grinning mischeveously at Kana he said, "Wanna show me how to do it again."
"I'm not feeding you, you baby."
"Oh come on."
"No."
"Duo stop being a flirt!" Heero grumbled.
Duo and Kana looked at each other and then looked down at their plates. Shades of red flushed Kana's face as she started to eat her own food. Why was she thinking like this. Out of all the guys she had ever met none of them had made her blush. Just the thought of that made her face darken even more. A conversation started up without her. She could hear them but she was to busy thinking about Duo. What is with this guy that makes me feel like this she wondered.
TBC sorry it took me so long to get the last chapters in.
