Years Beyond Memory.

Chapter 5- A Sorrowful Journey.

Trowa walked like a ghost through the fields that surrounded him. He didn't know why he couldn't remember what happened the night before. His memory was in gaps. 'Probably lack of sleep.' He thought. A snake came up to him and bit him in the hand. It sent a shock through him. Normally he would've noticed if something was going to harm him, but he didn't care much anymore. The only thing that provoked him to even live was the thought of getting revenged for his exile.

When the snake slithered off. He noticed it had a white strip twisting around it. Never did he seen anything quite like it. The way it moved an try to hide in the grass as if waiting for some more prey.

Trowa yawned he came to an old tavern.

"What do ya want sonny? Came an old man.

"I want some bread and whine."

He grabbed a loaf of bread and a bottle of whine. Trowa took four silver coins out of his pockets and dropped them on the counter.

Two other men came in and talked to the old man.

"Hey fill, guess what happened to ol' Fred."

The old guy looked up. "What?"

"His brother died last night an hour after being bite buy one of those white-twirl snakes! Dan things gonna wipe out the entire population at this rate."

Trowa turned to look at there faced. Unfortunately they noticed. "And what're you lookin' at?"

Trowa knew they acted like the usual red-necks, but he didn't want to start anything now. " You said they did after being bitten?" He asked questioningly.

"Ya I did, so what?"

"Well, funny thing is. I was bitten by a snake with a white stripe on it. And it's already been about two hours."

"Well then, you must have the devils luck."

Trowa smiled cunningly, grabbed his things and walked out the door. Before he walked off, he heard the words.

"Lie'n two-faced brate." It gave him something to smile about.

He through his bag over his shoulder and started walking again. Listening to the sound of the wind and the sound of his footsteps.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Heero and Duo went back to the cave, the same cave that changed Heero's life forever. The same eerie, scratchy voice came when they entered.

"So why back soon?"

The voice made Duo jump. "Who was that?" He whispered to Heero.

"Show yourself!" Heero yelled in the darkness.

There was laughter, it seemed to come from the cave itself. Then a chill came over them both. A dark shadow appeared.

"What do thy want with me?" It said.

"What keeps on happening to me. Why do I attack people and then don't have a clue about it the next day! Huh?!"

It laughed again. "Hmm... Anger. When you feel that your endanger or that fear or a lot of anger comes to you a spirit also comes to you. It fights for you, it protects you."

"A spirit?" Duo mummled.

It smiled. "Yes very much like the spirit you have in you." Duo was taken back. "What do you mean like the spirit in me?"

"How do you think you live so long. A spirit resides in you. Different from his, yet the same. You see his only comes when he's in danger. Yours stay in you, except when it's with you always like it is. It doesn't take over. It wants to feel like you and smell and to touch and to taste. That's why it lives in you blood. And that's why it can't stand sunlight. But over the years you may find out that you aren't as frigile to the sun as you once were."

"You mean I go into the sun?" Duo said his voice very high spirited.

"No, not yet not for thousands of years."

"Thousands of years?" Heero said. "He'll live to be thousands of years old."

"Don't be so surprise. You would live until the end of all as well."

"What?"

"You can't die that should be clear enough. Now I'll see you next time you come to visit."

With that the figure disappeared and left two dumbfounded men standing there without a sound. They stood there for while, taking what they heard in.

Duo looked at the ground . "Let's go. I don't want to be in here anymore." Heero nodded and walked out silently with Duo.

'Why did I even go in there? What was I thinking of gaining when I left?' thoughts like those raised through Heero's mind. They walked for miles not saying a single word. Then snow started falling, they stopped when they reached the sea. Both didn't care about the cold, they knew they wouldn't get a disease and die like everyone else. Heero gave the captain some silver and they went aboard.

"Ya know where ya goin' boy?"

"Don't care." Heero mumbled. He couldn't believe he would live forever. No end, just life. How could anyone listen to that and not go mad?!

"Well ya going to Ireland then." the captain said. Heero paid no notice. His thoughts were all he could handle at this point. Slowly he shut his eyes and fell asleep.

It was foggy when he actually woke up. Duo obliviously when it the below rooms since the sun was rising.

He looked at the ball of fire that shown high above. "Well, guess there's no escaping what has happened."
