Years Beyond Memory
Chapter 4 - A Sad Discovery.
Duo looked at him for an answer. Heero didn't know what to say. 'Was there a name for what he was.' Before he could a mob came after them. They grabbed Duo and Heero.
"Which one is it!" One person said.
"Let's just get both. The one who survives is not one." Another person said. Duo knew he could have escaped at any minute but then that would betray his race.
They tied both to a wooded cross. 'What would tying me to one of these object do.' Duo thought. Hours passed and the mob stared at both there prisoners. Duo and Heero looked confused as to why they would be doing this. Another hour passed by and Duo knew what they were waiting for. The sun. He struggled to get free but they tied his arms and legs too tight. The sun started to rise, he knew that that was the last time he will ever stand on the earth again.
The sun came into full view. The mob stared at them waiting for something to happen, but nothing did. Duo opened his eyes and saw the sun for the first time in five hundred years. 'I'm still alive.' the thought kept repeating in his head. He looked at Heero. "It was his blood that did it." He closed his eyes. Now he could survive in day light. He could feel that he was still a vampire, but now he also didn't burn when touched by the light of the sun.
The mob looked at each other. "Looks like we caught the wrong criminals again." They quickly took off the ropes that tied them to the cross and let them go.
Heero rubbed his wrists that were bound to that cross for hours. "What were they waiting for?" He asked Duo just looked at him. "How should I know?" He said simply. He knew the answer but he didn't want to tell Heero it.
Heero went to the river bank alone and he put on the mask that seemed to be his only true companion . "And where do you think your going?" Came a voice from behind. Heero closed his eyes. "Thought you'd follow me."
"So tell me Daniel. What is your real name?"
"Heero Yuy." was the response. Duo closed his eyes. "Well Heero, where are we off to now?"
"We'll find out once we get there."
The walked off together Duo carrying his famous grin all the while.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The guard walked toward his king. "Did you find out how killed him?" The king asked. The soldier put his head faced down. "No, I'm afraid I didn't."
The king looked disappointed. "Trowa Barton, you have always been the best soldier this kingdom has ever seen. So I won't punish you like I would any other soldier for failing me. Instead of the death penalty , you will be banished from this kingdom."
Trowa looked at him in surprise. 'I'm banished?' "But sire?"
The king looked away and waved his hand. The guards took him away. Trowa didn't know what to do. He was banished. He never thought something like that could happen, especially toward him.
Fear and worry rushed over him. He made a fist and started walking the other way. "I'll get the one who did this." He vowed to himself. (Indicating Heero.)
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero and Duo wandered through many towns. Hunting, annoying each other. Having fun. "Hey Heero let's make a deal okay."
"And what would that be." Heero stated.
"If you give me some of your blood so I stay in the light. Then I wont annoy you all this week!" Duo said, a smile came across his face. "Please Heero, I haven't seen the sun in 400 years!"
"You just seen it last year when they tied us both to those stupid stick things!"
"That doesn't count!" Duo said smiling. "Please.. You do know that I can just drink your blood and you couldn't do a thing about it." Duo smiled again.
"So we could do this the easy way or we'll do it the hard way." Heero looked annoyed already. "Try it and you'll see what will happen."
Duo took a deep breathe, "Well since I am little tired. I'll let you go for now."
Heero laughed to himself. 'There goes Duo, too carefree to even think about something that actually matters.'
Duo lifted his eyebrow. "Why are you smiling?"
Heero looked at Duo and his grin faded away into the serious and face that we all know. Duo looked at him as if he was sick.
"Hey man. Are you all right?"
Heero laughed out loud. "Knew you'd fall for that!"
Duo had an annoyed look on his face. "Come on then. We better go, the sun's rising."
Heero smiled again and walked back to the house which they both stayed. Heero stayed in his room in the day, sometimes he walked outside and just stared in oblivion.
Duo stayed in the basement when the sun was out. One ray on the sun's light burned his skin. And Duo doesn't like his skin being burnt off like that. He didn't stay in coffins. He just dug a hole in the dirt for himself. He didn't know why but he liked it better than coffins.
The sun was down. Duo got up and yawned. Heero was asleep though. Duo laughed as he saw Heero asleep. And then an idea came to him.
Ten minutes later Heero woke up and stared at Duo who was right next to him laughing like an maniac.
"What?" Heero questioned him.
Duo just shook his head, laughing. Heero stared at him with questioning. He went into the living and yawned. He stood in front of a long mirror. Mirrors were everywhere in the house. He took on good look and turned to Duo. "What did you do?"
"I think it's obvious what I did."
Heero looked again and was hoping it just disappeared. But it didn't. He was wearing A LOT of make-up. Just like a girl.
He looked at Duo again. Who was laughing more than ever after seeing his face. "You know you're not as strong as me." Duo said looking at him, remember the last fight we had.
"Trust me, you didn't see me mad like I am now." Heero said.
Duo laughed out loud again. Which made Heero that much more angry. Heero didn't know what happened but every thing went blank.
When he awoke he was on the beach. He didn't know why he was there. How long he was there. And how he got there. He got up looked around. The question came to him more than once, He wasn't angry any more, but he just had the question coming to him over and over again.
'Where's Duo?'
He ran to the house. A light was on. Duo. He looked in it and Duo was there wrecking the place. "But why."
He stepped into the room, Duo looked at him suddenly. A streak of fear ran down to him as he looked at Heero.
"What are you doing here." He managed to gasp.
"What do you mean what I'm doing here?" Heero said. He noticed scares all over Duo's arms and legs and his face.
"What happened to you?"
"As if you don't know!" Duo yelled.
"No I don't know."
"Think, think real hard. All I did was put make-up on you. When you found out, you became angry. You're face was red. And then what did you do! Huh!"
Heero looked at him as if he was crazy.
"I don't know. I don't even remember how I got on that Beach! Now tell me, What is going on!"
Duo stared at him. "You don't remember?"
"No I don't."
"Let me show you." Duo said. He took his scared hands and put them on his head.
With a flash Heero found himself in the room again. He was staring at himself who was staring at Duo with anger. The room was clean , where was he?
"It's a memory." Duo said staring at him.
"This is what you've done to me."
Heero was shocked. 'you've done to me.'
The other Heero jumped on Duo when he was laughing. Heero tore Duo's flesh off. At times he could see Duo's bone. Duo was yelling for him to stop.
Heero, (the one was watching the memory.) stood shock at what he saw. Duo's wounds healed fast. But then more wounds came, the loss of blood made Duo weak and his ability to heal fast became weak too. Heero continued to tear out his flesh. Then as if someone was calling him, he jumped through the window. Duo lay where he was. Weak, hardly able to move. Two people came in, who heard Duo screams. They looked at his condition and ran towards him.
"We'll take you to the hospital sir." One of them said.
Duo shook his head and bit the boys neck. The other just stared at him. "What are you doing?" The other boy yelled. He ran to the door. But Duo got to him faster. He drained the boy too. His wounds weren't gushing out blood anymore but scars remained. Hideous scares that maddened him.
Duo looked at the mirror that reflected them and smashed it. He stared ruining the whole house as it were trying to attack him.
Then the room was back to what it was. The memory was over. Heero just stared at Duo. He opened his mouth, but nothing came out. Why didn't he remember? Why didn't he stop attacking Duo when he'd first heard his cry?
Heero closed his eyes and sighed. He grabbed Duo by the arm and went back out to the window.
"Hey, where are you taking me?" Duo yelled.
"Somewhere that you don't know." Heero said.
