Little Heero
Chapter 2: Knock, Knock Death's At the Door.
Well, Salidia ran to open the door, while Duo tried to do the practice magic he'd done the night before. "Blue flame, square, one inch by one inch...", when Salidia giggled with delight.
"Oh, Death, you finally made it!", she cheered, "Here, let me get you a cup of tea."
Death, or so what Duo thought to be Death was rather short, actually, he looked like a munchkin. With his black suite, and a red tie, he looked almost business like. The cane and top hat made it clear he was. Heero even crept in for a peek at the menace to human kind. He led the frozen like woman in with him. "She's in a trance and half a pound is all I ask for her. I've got fairies up to yin- yang.", Death said, "Oh, and thanks for the tea.",
"There you go, Death, thank- you, and you wouldn't happen to know where Ron got to?", Salidia asked.
"No, but, personally, I believe your boy there, is inflicted with my sister's second cousin's aunt's niece.", Death nodded, tipping his hat, before taking his leave.
"Ha, the shrinking spirit should've known, ah, your Mother's coming around nicely, Duo.", Salidia added.
"Shrinking spirit, Duo's Mother?!", Heero exclaimed.
"Rose.", the other woman spoke, quietly at first, then, "MY BABY BOY!!!!!!",
She squeezed tightly unto Heero Yuy. "Oh, such filthy hair, and a mean face!", she tsked.
"No, that's my boy.", Salidia corrected.
"Oh. Ohhhhhhhh! You look like your sorry, good for nothing fire nymph father, all right!", She said, though still hugging tightly unto Duo.
"Please..... Lady..... Let.... Go!", Duo huffed.
"Now, who's the Momma's boy, Maxwell?", Heero asked.
"Not.... Funny..... Heero....", Duo managed.
It took Duo a while before he was free. "And how much of your fairy half have you been taught?", Rose asked.
"Um..... None of it, actually, I'm really no-", Duo was interrupted.
"Oh, it's just like your Father! He'll be a fine fire nymph, my son will.", She mocked, "Never even thought about your fairy half.",
"Well, then, why not just teach me then.", Duo suggested.
"Okay, then.", Rose said, "First lesson will be how to go into your fairy form.",
"Sounds well enough, okay, how do I?", Duo asked.
"You have to think of a very happy place in your mind, and then, you have to concentrate on that while you power up, then, constrict your energies into a few choice areas, your back, your head, your arms and legs. And soon, you have a feeling of being pushed into smaller, and smaller a body, and you're done.",
"Really, wow.", Duo said.
"You can try it now, if you like.", She said.
Duo did as he had been instructed, and even felt the changing of his inner workings as well. Soon, it was done, and he took a look at himself in the mirror that Rose held for him to see. Two fine looking antenna came from just behind his bangs, and two, insect like wings came from his back. Those were made of a rather clear blue color, and fluttered a bit each few minutes, he looked the same everywhere else. Duo decided to try flying, only it was more so an instinct that came to him to just flutter his wings faster. Soon, he was sitting on Rose's shoulder, happily smiling. Rose smiled back, "See, not as bad as you thought is it?", she said.
"No, actually, it's not.", Duo shrugged, "I'm sorry, it's just that I've never even dreamed I had any family, I was a street urchin.",
"That's okay, you'll get use to it.", Rose said.
So it was another happy family reunion..... Whilst Heero now knew that the shrinking spirit was trying to harm him.
