Chapter 11
Duo grinned. A dozen or more vamps surrounded him. He spun his brand new scythe around, the blade nearly invisible in the dark alley. The first vampire jumped back avoiding Duo's attack. Swinging the blade around over his head he quickly turned it down on a vamp that was trying to get him from behind. The magic blade sliced through the bloodsucker before he exploded into dust. The one who avoided his first attack came from behind, Duo thrusted the back end of the scythe through it and to his surprise that vamp also turned to dust.
"Cool!" Duo licked his lips, spinning his weapon around. The vampires held back not wanting to be the next to be dusted. He clutched the length of the scythe with both hands. The power surged through him like electricity. It felt wonderful and he wanted more. Lunging at the nearest vampire he extended the blade, severing it's head in one blow. Another swing took out two more.
Duo danced between the living dead. He knew their every move, every feeling, every thought. Soon, he could sense where they would strike, avoided it and killed them. Being in Deathscythe and slashing through mobile suits was a rush but it was nothing like this. Fighting like this seemed so natural. The feeling of the smooth cut through flesh, the delightful screams the living dead made, the blood that splattered across his face, it all excited him. Leaving him to want more and more.
Finally, the last vampire bursted into dust after Duo ran his scythe through it's chest. Duo stood there panting. The reality of what just happened hit him like a sledgehammer. He fell to the ground suddenly not able to stand up. His breath became more rapid his eyes were wide. He held his head in his hands. It pounded as he saw the recent events play though his mind. What was happening to him. The last time he could remember feeling like this was when he was in the zero system. The horror of it all was happening again.
Something was wrong he couldn't breathe. The world around him was blurring. Duo fell onto his side. Before he blacked out he saw a figure standing over him then it disappeared. The last thing he thought was that it was all true, he really was the God of Death and he had just had a taste of the power that came with that title.
* * * * *
"HEERO!!!" Releena screamed as she was roughly dragged away from the wing zero pilot.
Heero striked one vamp square in the jaw sending him fling into a wall. Before he could get up Heero staked him. Luckily he had planned for this to happen. Not planned for Releena Peacecraft following him and getting seized by a couple of blood hungry vampires. But he had been smart enough to bring a couple stakes and of course his gun with a few extra cartridges of bullets. For some peculiar reason he had known Releena was in trouble. They had a strange bond that always brought them together. In the war Releena always seemed there when he needed her or thought about her. He had always said he'd kill her but he could never go through with his threat. It would have been like killing apart of himself.
Heero didn't stop when the vampire threatened to bite Releena. Instead he went right for him. Grabbing him by the wrist and yanking as hard as he could. Releena was thrown to the ground but she appeared to be all right. Quickly Heero snapped the vamps arm by bringing it down on his knee. The vampire screamed in pain and came at Heero. He avoided the stumbling fool and landed a hard kick to the vamps face. Immediately he took the stake and thrusted it through it's chest. Screaming the vampire exploded into dust.
Heero walked over to Releena and stood over her not knowing what to do. First thing he did was looked around for further threat but he sensed none. Kneeling down he could see that Releena was breathing he sighed in relief.
"Mmmnnn.." Releena moaned as Heero turned her over gently.
Heero gulped as he spotted a deep gash on the side of her throat. He quickly removed his jacket and pressed it on her throat.
"Ohhh." Releena groaned in pain. Her eyes fluttered open and she smiled. "Heero." He felt pain and guilt overwhelm him as his name made her wince in pain.
"Don't talk."
A tear fell down her face. "I'm glad you came. I knew you would." Her chest rose as she breathed deeply.
"You'll be all right. Just don't talk and it won't hurt as much. Do you think I could pick you up?"
She nodded, "I'm not that bad." She flinched from talking again, "But I think my arm might be broken."
"I'll be careful." He gently scooped her up in his arms. She wasn't heavy at all and seemed so small and fragile in his arms. She held onto his coat with her good arm as she smiled at him. The corner of his mouth lifted up, just a bit and smiled back at her.
The best place Heero could take Releena would be the hospital. People would be out looking for her if they thought anything bad happened. So they would naturally be checking the hospitals for her. He could get her checked in there, call someone and tell them she's here and leave. Yes he could leave her there, she would be all right. No matter how many times he said this it still wouldn't make him leave.
Releena had been checked in over an hour ago and he still hadn't called anyone. He stood leaning against a wall as she had gotten stitched up and waited outside for her as they did some tests. When the doctor and nurse were all done they told him he could go see her.
Releena was sitting up on the bed. Her arm was in a sling and her neck was bandaged up. She smiled as Heero silently entered.
"Hey." She said weakly.
"How are you?"
"I'm fine." She watched him as he walked to her side by the bed. "Thanks for saving me."
Heero shrugged his shoulders and said nothing.
"Heero, what was that thing that attacked me?"
Heero looked up in her eyes. She was so calm for what had just happened to her. "A vampire."
"A what?"
"It was a vampire. Creature of the night that feeds off human blood."
Her brow creased in confusion as she considered this. "Is it that you don't want anybody else but you to kill me... or do you care enough about me to save my life?"
Heero was startled by her question. He had expected her to ask more about vampires and how he knew about them. "Uhh...?"
"I see I still can catch you by surprise Heero Yuy." Releena smirked. "So when do I get out of here?"
"They want to keep you over night. Is there anyone you want me to call?"
"You can call my brother." She grinned, "But I can manage. I'm a big girl now Heero. You don't have to stay anymore."
Heero didn't know what to say. The truth was he wanted to stay but there were things to do. And he defiantly didn't want to get Releena involved. Just look what happened to her when she followed him. She could have been killed. But then there was Duo. He was in trouble and Heero didn't want to leave him alone with Kana.
"Well Heero, what are you going to do?"
"I think you should get some rest."
"And you."
"Hmph, I'll stay here for a little while longer but then I have to leave."
"All right, if you insist." She slumped down into the bed. Heero pulled the covers up for her and tucked her in. Then he went and sat down in a chair near the hospital bed.
He decided that he'd stay here for just a while, wait till she goes to sleep and leave. Her breathing started to slow down as she began to relax. Heero watched her thinking about the last time he had seen her. He had taken a job that Zechs had actually offered him. Zechs and Nion were going away for a month and Zechs didn't want to leave Releena alone. Not that she would be surrounded by diplomats, politicians and other old boring men she had to deal with. Zechs was just being an over protective brother and wanted her to have the best security possible, next to himself of course.
Heero was Releena's personal guard. Spending so much time with the former Queen Heero had become quite fond of her, not that wasn't fond of her before. Their relationship was very secretive. Releena not ready to share her very personal life with the ever critical public and Heero not wanting Duo or Quatre budding in with his life. Which he knew they would. It lasted 6 months and Heero had left suddenly without any notice. He knew Releena would be upset but would understand. Plus he had left a note. It had said, "Omea wa kurosu. Love Heero Yuy." He had to admit that it wasn't a good, good-bye but it was the best the perfect solider could do.
If Releena loved him, which he was sure she did, then he knew she would understand and that he would be back someday. He just needed some time to think. It wasn't some guy thing and he needed space he just wanted to figure out what he was going to do with his life. Two years of peace left him wondering and once he realized he was in love with Releena he couldn't handle it. It was all too real for him and he needed some time to think. Anyway, he had been thinking for a month and a half now. Duo moved in with him three weeks after he had moved to the colony. Of all the places he moved to and all the roommates he could have lived with he didn't know why it had to be Duo. He convinced himself it was because Duo was his friend and this is something friends do. Actually Duo had been the one doing the convincing and persuading Heero into to letting him live there.
Now Heero was beginning to worry about Duo. He had to get back to London before Kana did but he couldn't just leave Releena. There was always Quatre and Trowa. Quatre didn't trust Kana Lamia but Trowa seemed in awe of her. Very odd for his character. Of course Heero didn't know much about the circus clown. He had just found out the gundam pilot practiced sorcery.
Heero sighed and closed his eyes. It was late and he decided he would spend the night. Then he would leave. Right in the morning. Right after he made sure Releena was safe.
