Searching Part 3 - the beginning 2

Peacecraft Castle, Sanq Kingdom.

Duo looked at the people around him. He could see the rest of the groups scattered around them. Even Heero looked like his having fun. Who wouldn't after long years of war? The scientists are dead, Trieze is dead and well, they destroy the Gundams but not him! Oh No! He just makes them think that he did but he hid Deathscythe away and so is the rest of the program and design for all the gundams especially the Zero system. He even hid the locations of their safehouses, bases and the codes. He knows that they might come to use one day.

Duo looked each one of them and tries to change his own mind about leaving, but he knows that he had to that if only to run from his past. He needs to start anew and escape a life where people only see Duo Maxwell, the jester or Shinigami, pilot 02.

Relena got up to the stage to say her speech. All heads looked at her. Well no better time than right now. "I say, she sure does have her use. I have planned all my escape routes but this is much easier than I thought. That only meant that I don't have to look over my shoulder for a good period of time. Good.''

As the clock sound midnight, and new year is celebrate, a slim dark figure can be seen slinking away from the gathering unnoticed. Chestnut brown braid trailing behind him, he left no trace of his presence. Duo Maxwell disappeared without a farewell or a hint of where his going.
