Chapter 9
A/N: There will be TWO points of view in this story mainly.
~ = Duo
* = Soa
- = Another character
@ = Heero
******** Soa smiled lightly. He saw Duo coming out of the pilots' house. Smiling he flew in front of his
twin counterpart and grabbed his hat in his claws. Then Soa flew away indirection of a warehouse.
~~~~~~~~
"Hey! Get back here!" Duo screamed. He ran after the bird hoping that the stupid buzzard would drop the hat soon. It led him on a chase for a while when it and the hat vanished into a great metal warehouse.
Walking into the factory he searched around for his hat. Finding it he smiled and jammed it back on his head. He turned to leave when something stopped him, or rather, *someone*. He saw a youth standing there, a long, brown haired, golden eyed youth. Duo's jaws gaped. He finally managed to croak out one word
"Soa?"
"Hey Duo! You promised that you wouldn't ever leave me right?" The boy said smiling. Duo gulped and replied softly
"Yeah."
"Triple punch, double crunch?" He said jumping up and down excited. Duo swallowed- hard, and managed a reply that came out as a squeak.
"Yes" The from suddenly stopped smiling and frowned.
"You lied." His face turned sad and the figure vanished.
"What the-?!" He yelled and a burst of violet light shone from his pocket. Reaching into his pocket Duo pulled out the necklace that Soa had given him.
"Now it's time that you find out who you REALLY are Duo Maxwell." A cold voice issued. Duo spun around and found a bat winged Soa. His wings were like in angels, pinned onto his back, but they were black, and had the shape of a bat's. His attire was like before. A black shirt and jeans. His shirt bearing gold buttons down the front. Biker gloves and archer's wrists were strapped around his arms. However, instead of a gray vest, he had a black cape flowing around him. Soa smiled evilly and touched the ground. Duo was speechless.
"Y-y-y-you. . . . ." The god smirked.
"Forget my name already? Dear BROTHER." He asked smiling. Duo shivered. , then turned around and began to walk away.
"Forget you. I'm leaving."
"I wouldn't do that." Soa remarked looking at his hand. Duo spun around.
"Any why NOT?!?!?!" He demanded. Soa smiled and snapped a finger, a single beam of light penetrated the darkness and showed a figure that lay in a heap. A figure with messy dark brown hair and black jeans with a white shirt . . . . .
"HEERO!" Duo yelled and ran towards his best friend when he was pelted backwards.
"Tsk tsk, didn't your human mother tell you to be careful?" Soa taunted.
"What the-?" Duo managed to blurt out. Soa smiled (if possible) even wider. He walked up in front of Duo.
"My power blocked yours, with your OWN power though, you could easily have broken through that shield. So why not wake up?" Soa murmured. Duo shook his head,
"What the HELL are you talking about?!" Soa smiled.
"Perhaps you need encouragement. Very well." The god said smiling, he walked up to Heero unharmed and pulled dagger out of his boot.
"But I don't want to make Heero miss this." Soa still remarked smiling. He pulled Heero up by his shirt and as the Japanese youth woke up with a start he looked wildly around. Forced to his knees, and with his arms tied behind his back Duo couldn't see a way for even Heero to escape. Soa smiled and held Heero from moving. He placed the dagger under Heero's chin right onto his neck.
"Wake up Shinigami." When Duo didn't say anything Soa frowned and pressed the blade deeper into Heero's flesh. Both pilots stiffened.
"Stop being so fucking stubborn and WAKE UP!" Soa screamed.
"I don't know how!" Duo yelled right back. Soa fumed, then smiled.
"Then I'll just have to keep pressuring you won't I?" Soa chuckled and pushed the blade even further. At that moment time froze. Suddenly Soa was trembling, he whispered
"Duo . . . . . stop me. Please. . . . . . Alex . . . . . I'm sorry . . . . . . ." Then Soa was back to normal and shaking his head. Duo took a step towards the shaking teenager.
"Soa?" Duo asked with caution.
"Stay away!" Gold eyes flashed and The blade went so hard into Heero's flesh that blood welled up.
"What. . . . . what am I doing?!" Soa suddenly screamed and dropped the blade. He dropped to his knees and began to sob. The ropes on Heero's hands vanished and he was free to stand, instead of fleeing both pilots looked at the shaking figure which lay in torment. Duo walked up to Soa and gently placed a hand on his brother's shoulder. Soa stiffened then looked at Duo.
"Duo! God, I'm so sorry. I don't know what happened to me . . . . . .It's like I . . .I stopped being me, and became someone else. I tried to go back to the way I was, sometimes it worked, and sometimes it didn't." He broke down again and collapsed. Duo sat down next to Soa and began to hug his little brother. Heero sat down on the other side of the shaking form and awkwardly placed a hand on Soa's shoulder too. He wasn't used to doing this, but he figured this was one time he could try.
"I'm a monster! I . . . . . I almost KILLED my brother and best friend!!" Duo only smiled and hugged him tighter.
"That's okay, I tell you how many times Heero almost killed me?" He said in effort to stop the youth from crying. Soa looked up in shock.
"Discluding the part that the first time we met you shot me in the arm." Heero noted sourly.
"You were about to shoot Relena!!! What the hell was I supposed to do?!?!" The braided boy demanded.
"I don't know, not kill me?!?!?!" Heero shouted back. The fight kept going on till Soa broke out laughing. They both looked at him, he looked back at them both. His eyes were no longer narrow but round and gentle. Heero cleared his throat and began,
"Soa . . . . ." The boy looked at him surprised.
"My name's Yojii."
"But-" Heero began when Soa cut him off.
"Yojii was my middle name. Weird huh? Soa Yojii Maxwell." He finished. "I prefer that you call me Yojii." He said smiling. Heero smiled back and asked
"Why did you come here anyway?" Soa stiffened then sighed.
"I was brought here to wake up my brother. Shinigami." He frowned and Duo stiffened.
"But- I already KNOW that I'm a god. I woke up over a YEAR ago when Heero was dying." Soa stared at him.
"YOU ALREADY WHAT?!?!?!?!"
"Then why play dumb?!" Heero demanded.
"I knew I was Shinigami, that's it. I didn't know anything about my past or shit like that. So I wasn't really PLAYING dumb." Duo retorted.
"But if you knew. . . . . .then why was I. . . . ." The three of them stood up and Soa began thinking. Suddenly he flushed and screamed
"GARDA!!!!!!!" A tiny ball of light squeaked and fell from an overhead beam. Landing on her face Garda grinned nervously.
"Y-yes?"
"You knew!" He accused. She stood up and smiled.
"Of course!"
"Then why-?"
"Why were you sent here? Simple, all the gods were tired of your feuding. So our mother and father decided that they would put an end to it. They planned the whole thing." She grinned.
--------------------------
"Well, I'll see you later I suppose." Soa muttered. Duo sighed and Quatra smiled.
"Still unhappy about going?" He asked gently. Soa nodded.
"Can we hurry up?!" Garda yelled hands on hips. Soa sighed and murmured something about annoying pixies. He turned to Heero.
"Bye for now I guess Alex." He sighed. Heero smiled.
"Don't worry. I think I'll being seeing you sooner then you think." He smiled and Soa and Duo pounced on him.
"Don't you DARE DIE!!!!!"
"Didn't we just talk about his-?"
"And no way am I gonna have my brother's best friend in heaven! I would be chaos!!"
"And another thing-" Heero laughed and smiled.
"Just joking." He crossed his fingers behind his back. Soa smiled and turned to Duo. Shinigami smiled and wrapped his arms around Soa in a bear hug.
"Come back soon?"
"Try and keep me away. You'll be hear when I come back right?"
"Promise."
"Triple punch double crunch?" Soa said grinning playfully. Duo laughed and smiled.
"Triple punch double crunch." 'And this time, I won't break it' Duo thought silently.
@@@@@@@@
'I'll make sure you don't' Heero thought reading Duo's mind. He grinned.
'After all' Heero thought 'he wasn't the god of courage for nothing.'
The end.
