Matte Kudasai Heero
Part 5
~!~!~!~!~
Duo's breath blew through his teeth forcefully as he grew more tired from his loss of blood. Blackouts occurred every now and then, but he knew better than to blackout. He had to escape with Heero. But where? He had no car. How long would he have to run? He couldn't go on much longer in his condition. He'd try, but his body throbbed otherwise.
"Heero...where are we going to go?" he asked silently.
The hell if Heero knew.
"Are you okay, Heero?"
"Yes Duo, I'm fine." Heero smiled. That baka. Even though Heero had not a scratch on him, Duo was severly injured, and he had asked if *HE* was okay.
"That's good. The guards are still following us."
"I know."
"I guess we have to keep running."
Heero and Duo remained quiet as they approached the cathedral gates. Duo pushed them open as he leaned on Heero's shoulder. They were on the sidewalk when they heard unexpected words
"Stop where you are." a deep voice commanded low off the ground.
Heero turned around and looked down, it was a guard with a gigantic bruise on his right cheek. The man was very large and was holding his stomach. He recognized the position of the bruise. It was obviously Duo had gotten to him. When he fought, he only made internal wounds that could not be seen easily on the surface. Duo, however, left marks, bruise, blood. His style of fighting was less clean than his, but it was just as effective.
"Let the bitch go." the guard said.
Duo glared dangerously, "He's not a bitch..."
*click*
Damn! The gun that had shot him in the arm! Damn, damn, damn! Why didn't he pick it up??? Why???
"Let. The BITCH. Go!" the guard shouted, "Now, or I'll shoot where it hurts the most."
The gun was pointed at Heero.
Duo released Heero and stood in front of him to protect the only thing that mattered to him. His love. His Heero.
"Heero-sama, I strongly advise you to go back to the sanctuary."
Heero shook his head.
"Heero-sama, if you don't, I will be forced to kill this beast of a man."
Heero shook his head again.
"Heero-sa--oof!" the man grunted as he was caught off guard, "You little!"
Duo did the best he could to reach for the gun that he had just kicked out of the guard's hand. He was too slow though, if not for his injuries, he would have been quick enough to get the overlooked gun instead of at the same time as the guard.
Duo and the guard fought aimlessly for possession of the gun. Arms both dangerously gunpointed every other direction. Heero only watched. His soldier skills still unawakened. What was he to do? What could he do?
"Heero!"
Heero snapped his head toward the voice, "Relena?"
"Heero! I brought the priest to wed us!" It was Relena with many guards behind her along with Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei.
What?
She brought the priest, despite all the commotion, to wed them??? What the fuck was her problem???
"Give me the gun!"
Duo gritted his teeth and continued to wrestle with his opponent.
*BANG*
A gasping noise was heard.
Everything froze.
Duo's eyes became wide, "Oh god..."
Someone had been shot.
"Oh god." Duo gaped at the sight.
Someone had been shot.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god..."
It was the priest. The innocent priest was shot. How could that be? The trigger was squeezed, and he shot the priest. No! He couldn't be responsible for the harm of a second father!
"Oh god..."
Heero stared at Duo's shocked face, from behind him, he saw something else. It was another guard, and he was-he was--
"Duo look out!" Heero shouted urgently.
"Ugh!"
"NO! DUO!"
Duo knelt to the ground and held his side. His hand was covered in blood from his new wound. Everything happened so fast. What happened? He looked up at Heero with sad eyes, "I'm so sorry Heero. I'm so sorry..."
"Duo..." Heero's eyes became blurry. He rushed to his fallen love's side and lifted him into his arms, "Duo..."
"Heero, I'm so sorry. I...I just wanted to be with you. I'm sorry..."
Then his eyes closed.
"Duo! Duo! Duo open your eyes!" Heero bowed his head and tears were visibly seen by all who was watching.
It was a sight no one had ever seen. Heero, the ex-perfect soldier, was crying. The agonized boy squeezed the American. Why Duo? Why? Just when he thought that he was going to be happy, everything took a turn for the worst. Why? No, he can't blame it on anyone. It was his fault. He caused Duo so much pain. Why did Duo even want to be with him? Why? Why did Duo always get hurt? Why couldn't it be him for once?
Why didn't he do anything when he saw what was going to happen and no one else did???
Heero looked at the wooden object that had been lodged into Duo from behind. No one saw it except for him. And he didn't do anything! He watched it happen! Why didn't he do anything??? Another guard had come up from behind when the priest was shot then stabbed Duo with a wooden cross from the courtyard. Why didn't he do anything???
"Duo..."
He sat there void from anything. Why didn't he do anything? Why didn't he try the stop the man who stabbed his love? He closed his eyes.
The rain.
The priest.
His love.
"Come along Heero." Relena smirked.
That voice.
"He's dead..." she said sharply.
He hated that voice.
His eyebrows knitted together as he hugged his beloved tighter.
Why didn't he do anything?
"Heero, let's go!"
HE HATED THAT VOICE!!!
Heero gently laid down and stood up with his head still down. A mysterious chill run up everyone's spine as he barely lifted his chin only revealing his cold eyes. His cold, cold eyes. Angry, confused, sad, icy...
"Heero?" Relena dared to call.
Heero did not reply. He turned to the guard who stabbed Duo. Energy that hadn't been felt since the war ended came rushing to him. It was as if another war had started, and he had be reborn. The only difference between this new war and the other one was that for once, Heero had a reason. Heero had a reason, and now...he was going to fight for it. The guard slowly backed up feeling that he had made the biggest mistake of his life.
The feeling of wrong was swarming around his emotions.
The Perfect Soldier was back.
Everyone knew.
The dangerous death glare said it all.
"Omae o korosu..."
The guard, drenched in sweat, swallowed the large lump in his throat as the angry Japanese boy approached him. He knew exactly who Heero Yuy was. He knew the damage he could do, yet he still took the chance to anger him and now...The guard tripped over a crack in the surface of the gravel and fell backwards. Heero narrowed his glare and picked the man up.
"Huugh! Ugh! Guuuh!"
Heero punched the guard over and over until the guard fell to the ground again and stopped moving. Even after that, he kicked him once hard in the place where Duo was stabbed until blood came from his mouth.
Other guards attacked him one by one. No guard left without a broken bone and a new fear of Heero Yuy. He had defeated the guards who were restraining his friends. Heero turned his head and saw the last guard. The guard with the gun. The guard that had tried to shoot them. He narrowed his eyes.
"Omae o korosu."
~!~!~!~
Trowa and Wufei watched as the priest was shot. Wufei immediantly supported the priest and helped the elderly man up. He turned to Trowa who was suddenly seized.
"Hey!"
"Quatre!" Trowa said. The guards just restrained him, Quatre, Wufei, and Dorothy.
The only thing they could do was watch. They couldn't help. The guards restrained them with handcuffs [1].
Damn.
This was torture.
"Injustice."
~!~!~!~
Heero sprinted for the guard. He jumped and kicked the gun out of his hand again then delivered a heavy punch upon the bruise his love made. He kicked him in the head. A cracking noise was heard indicating that a bone in his neck was broken. Heero delivered heavy punches to the man's chest and took his manhood away with a powerful kick. Ouch.
"Heero! Heero! Heero!" his friends called trying to get him to stop beating the shit out of the last guard, but the Japanese boy would not hear them. The three other ex-gundam pilots tried to contain him, but Heero would have none of that.
"Hee-Heero," a deep voice choked, "Heero, that's enough."
Heero turned to the choking voice. It was Duo.
"Duo!" Heero ran to his love, "Duo!" He encircled Duo's neck. "Duo, Duo, Duo, Duo, Duo!"
A faint smile was brought to the braided boy's bloody lips. He coughed and more blood was spilt. Heero wiped it away, "I'm so very sorry Duo."
"Hee-chan?" Duo managed to say even though blood seeped through the corners of his mouth.
"Yes Duo?"
"I--"
"HEERO!!!" screeched Relena's delayed reaction.
Heero glared at the girl, "I hate you..."
"Heero?"
"Relena, I HATE you!" he shouted at the girl. He walked slowly over to her and she walked to the sidewalk backing into the street. "Relena I HATE YOU!!!"
Relena covered her ears, "No Heero, you don't hate me! You love me! You've always loved me!"
"I hate you Relena! Why can't you leave me alone? Why won't you go away??? Why won't you just LEAVE?!" Heero said walking closer as Relena was standing in the street. "I. HATE. YOU!!!"
"NO--"
*EEEEEEERRRRRAAAAAAANNNNNN!*
"AAAAAAHHHH!!!" suddenly, Relena fell limply.
A blanket of silence coated everyone who saw what happened.
Dorothy covered her mouth as tears streamed down her face. Her breathing was uneven and sweat was dripping down her face.
"AAAAIIIIIEEEEE! RELENA-SAMA!!!" she screamed with a terribling voice. She ran to the bloody girl, "RELENA-SAMA!"
Relena remained still.
"RELENA-SAMA!" Dorothy wept over her friend.
"Dorothy?" a small voice asked.
"Yes Relena, I'm here." She picked Relena up and moved her out of the street.
"What happened? Why does my whole body hurt? I can't feel my legs..."
Should she tell her? Should she tell her that a car just hit her?
No. That would make everything worse.
The gray car that hit Relena came to a skitting stop. As soon as the car halted, the driver stepped out. He took off his dark sunglasses and revealed his shocked and scared eyes. He could not believe what he had just done. He recognized the face. He gasped.
He had just hit the Vice Foregin Minister Darlin! He hit Miss Relena! What a bad day.
"Oh my God, Miss Relena! Miss Relena! Are you alright? Miss Relena, I'm terribly sorry!"
Relena closed and opened her mouth struggling to say something. Then her reply came, "What happened? I can't feel anything. What's happened to me?" she asked pathetically.
"Everything's okay." Dorothy white lied. She didn't know what was going to happen, but it was the best answer she could think of.
"Where's Heero?"
"He's with Duo."
"Oh. Is he staying with him?"
"Yes Relena-san, he is staying with him."
Relena frowned, "Well, if he stays with Duo, then who will protect me?"
"I will. From now on Relena-san, I will protect you." Dorothy smiled, "...I will." Dorothy then replied seriously, no hint of false intention, "I will protect you with my life."
Relena stared at the girl for what seemed to be hours, "Dorothy...?"
"I will protect you forever."
~!~!~!~!~
Heero stared at the girl whose crush caused this disaster. A car hit her. A car hit her. A CAR HIT HER! In a way he wanted it to happen, but...now that it did, he felt...guilty. Guilty because he edged her into the street. This new guilt hurt Heero. He already hated it. He had to pay her back somehow. He didn't want to, but for Shinigami's sake, she was hit by a car because of him!!! Even though he knew that if Duo was hit by a car, she would've been the happiest person alive, he, wasn't pure evil. He felt things like everyone else.
Heero draped his head, "What have I done?"
"It's...it--it's not your fault--*coughcough* Hee-Heero..." Duo staggered.
Heero sighed. He had to do something.
Duo closed his eyes with his head pressed against Heero's chest. This wasn't completely over yet. At least he was with the one he loved and the one he loved was with him. Finally.
"Heero, I've missed you so much."
"I've missed you to Duo. You know that right?" Heero waited for an answer, but none came, "Duo? Duo?" Heero shook the figure in his lap, and was relieved when a single snore emerged. He smiled softly and stroked the resting boy's hair.
~!~!~!~!~
Trowa grabbed his cell phone and called the police. Trowa saw the sadness in Dorothy's eyes. Poor girl. Such a faithful friend, she was even going to let Relena marry someone who doesn't like her the way she does. All because Relena had a crush on him. Poor, poor, girl.
"Trowa?"
"Yes Quatre."
"I feel a bit dizzy."
"I'm not the least surprise." he wrapped an arm around the shorter boy from him to lean on.
The priest sighed, "Young man," he said to Wufei.
"What is it Father? Is your arm in much pain?"
"Well, yes, but...this was the most interesting wedding catastrophe I have ever attended."
Wufei smirked, "I'm sure. But I'm not at all surprised. Controversy has been an issue between Heero and Relena--hints the catastrophic event. I think it's finally come to an end."
"I hope everyone finds peace." said the priest.
The next sound heard was the sirens of the ambulance.
~!~!~!~
Heero knocked on the door of Duo's room. The nurses wouldn't let Heero see Duo for three days because of Duo's severe injuries. Today was the okay and he had come to see his love during visiting hours.
"Come in."
"Duo?" Heero asked peeking through the door. He was a bit nervous. He had not seen Duo out someone stoping him. It would feel so...weird if he just walked in and no one told him that he couldn't.
"Oh, Heero. Hey. How are you?"
"I'm good. All I had were bruised knuckles." Heero said shyly and stood at the door after he had gently closed it.
"I bet it was from beatin' the shit out of all those men." Duo chuckled. He was playing with the jello that the nurse had brought in for him on a tray. He was wearing a white hospital gown with countless bandages and patches. He looked kinda...funny. An adult in a ridiculous amount of bandages playing with his jello. The jello was being squished, flipped, flopped, dropped, plopped, splatted, and slurped. Duo stopped and looked at Heero.
"Aren't you going to sit down?"
Heero nodded nervously and approached his love. He sat in a chair against the wall that was in front of the foot of Duo's bed.
Duo frowned, "Are you sure you're good?"
"Yes."
"Okay, so how's Relena pulling?"
Heero shrugged, "Fine. She doesn't remember being hit by a car. She broke her right hip, knee, and shin. A couple of bumps and bruises. Nothing more serious than that. Dorothy is her new body guard. She's making Relena cover all the hospital bills for all of us. I haven't seen her though, I heard that from Quatre."
"Really, that's interesting." Duo paused, "What about the priest?"
"He had a flesh wound from being shot in the forearm. He says that he's fine. He was released the day yesterday evening."
"That's good. I think I should pay him a visit when I leave."
"What were your injuries, Duo?"
"Most were flesh wounds, but they needed to be treated. You know how this works. I had a couple of gun shots. That thing in my back removed too. Nothing I can't handle."
"Do you want me to leave so you can rest?"
"No," Duo shook his head, "Heero come here."
Heero stood and picked up the chair.
"Leave it."
"Do you want me to stand?"
Duo chuckled, "Don't be silly." as soon as Heero was in arm's length, Duo pulled Heero on to the bed and held him tightly.
"Heero. I've missed you so so so much." he said.
Heero's eyes began to water, "Duo..."
"I thought you were really going to marry Relena. I thought I'd never be with you again. I'm sorry."
Heero lifted his head once again with tears streaming down his cheeks, "I'm sorry too."
"Heero, I don't know why I never told you before, but...I love you. I fuckin' love you. I never want to leave you. I never want anything to happen to us again. I never want anything to come between us. Never! I love you!"
Whatever control Heero had left was gone now, "Duo, I love you too," the boy took a breath, " I love you too." Heero collapsed on Duo's chest--it hurt, but Duo would do anything to had Heero back again. Heero cried and cried. Duo stroked his hair and allowed a few tears to fall himself.
okay, he knew that he would do anything for Heero, but--
"Hee-chan?"
"Hmm?"
"Try not to apply too much pressure, my back is killing me." Duo said with a light heart.
"Gomen." Heero replied and loosened his head pressure on Duo's chest.
Another calm moment of silence passed.
"Duo?" Heero asked.
"Hmm?" Duo replied.
"Um...I'm been wanting to do this for a long time."
"What?"
Heero cupped each of Duo's cheeks then pressed his lips softly against Duo's forming a long wanted kiss. He kissed Duo for a second and parted to see his reaction. Duo had no reaction. He remained still.
"Duo?" Heero asked with sudden fear.
Duo looked at his love with watery eyes, "Heero...you do know that you can't kiss me then let go just like that don't you?"
Heero nodded.
"Come here," Duo said and pulled Heero into another kiss.
Before they knew it, the boys were asleep.
~!~!~!~
Two weeks later Heero sighed as he stood outside of the last hospital door he would visit. He stood with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
"Relena..." he said sadly. He rapped his delicate knuckles against the pale blue door.
The pale blue door quietly opened and he wasn't at all surprised to see Dorothy Catalonia standing in the entrance.
"Hello Heero."
Heero nodded his greeting, "May I see Relena?"
Dorothy smirked, "Heero Yuy, I do believe that this is the first time you actually choose, on your own, to see Miss Relena. Even so, very well, she just woke up. Come in."
Heero entered hesistantly.
"Can I help you?"
"I would like to speak to her alone, if you don't mind."
Dorothy shook her head, "No, it's not problem with me. Go ahead. Take your time. I'll be outside."
He observed the sight before him after Dorothy left. Relena was sitting in an upright position on the white hospital bed with her leg propped up in a cast. She had a bandages wrapped around her wrist and forehead. Adhesive tape seemed to be the fashion theme for her instead of pin for once. The scent of flowers gently polluted the air and Get Well balloons floated around the room. The window allowed much sunshine that shone on her face and hair. Her cerulean eyes were concentrated on the small television connected from the ceiling. She was trying to change the channel, but it appeared that the batteries were dying.
Heero cleared his throat.
"Ahem."
Relena directed her attention to the unnoticed visitor, "Heero?" she asked with certain surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to say good-bye."
"Oh..." Relena said with depression, "When are you leaving?"
"When Duo comes back from the church."
"I see."
A strainuous silence took over.
"Where are you headed to?" Relena asked.
Heero shrugged, "I suppose wherever Duo takes me."
"That would be logical."
"I..." Heero scratched the back of his head trying to formulate his reply, "I--"
"What is it Heero?"
"I...I...I'm---"
"You're what?"
"I'm-I'm-I'm..." Heero drew it a breath, "I'm...sorry Relena."
Relena's eyes widen.
Heero Yuy just apologized to her.
She looked away and smirked, "No Heero, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I took five years away from you life. You're twenty. You should be enjoying life. You shouldn't feel like you must slave to my commands. I'm sorry I put you through that. So very sorry."
Heero stared at the girl for a brief moment.
"No need to say anything, I know that you're the silent type. I'm just sorry."
"Me too."
"You know what Heero?"
"What?"
"I'm going to tell you a secret. Come here."
For once, Heero came.
"I'm kind of glad that this wedding fuck up happened."
"You are?"
"Yes. I'm glad that it happened because frankly, I wasn't getting any from you and we just didn't...click. If this hadn't happen, then we would still be unhappy young adults. We don't need that."
Now she was thinking.
"In fact, I wish it happened sooner. I don't know about you, but much grief has been removed from my chest...don't you agree?"
Heero nodded. It's funny in a way. It took over five years, a wedding disaster, hate, a car accident, and a broken hip, knee, and shin for her for her to finally realize that.
"It's funny in a way. It took a car to hit me for me to finally realize that. I don't know why I didn't see it before."
Heero cocked an eyebrow.
"Well, it was nice of you to drop by Heero. That was very thoughtful." Relena glanced up and down his body. She noticed flowers in his hand. "I didn't know that Duo liked flowers."
Heero looked down and saw the flowers he was holding. He had forgotten to give them to her! "Um...these are for you." he said shakely and presented them to her. She accepted gratefully.
"Thank you Heero. That's very sweet of you."
"Um...you're welcome."
"You should go now. I'm sure Duo's back now, ne?" she added a smile.
Heero smirked for the first time at her, "Yes, Duo should be back now."
She released a breath of air and he suddenly embraced her. Relena gasped, "Heero?"
Heero pulled away, "Relena, I want you to know that even if I don't love you, or even like you as much as others, doesn't mean that I don't care about you. Because I do care for you, as a friend. I don't hate you. I was angry. I'm sorry."
The wheat-haired girl smiled, "I care about you too." She sighed, "I do hope that you'll visit me when you had the chance, okay?"
"Okay."
"Good. Now get! Duo probably wants to get the hell out of here!"
"Sayonara Relena-san."
"Sayonara Heero-kun."
With that Heero departed and headed down to the lobby where he was to meet with Duo.
~!~!~!~!~
Duo was ready to leave. He wanted to leave. He wanted to leave and live with Heero.
But first there were a few things to take care of.
Duo stepped out of the yellow taxi and looked at the large church where so many things had happened. He walked to the cathedral doors and made his way to the confession booth. He drew in a long breath. It had been a long time since he had even touched the wooden doors with elaborate cravings. He traced the wood then opened the small door and stepped in.
"What can I do for you my child?" a voice came from the other side.
Duo sighed, "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned."
"Which hints the reason why you're here. Why don't you tell me about it?"
"Well, I--I...I--"
"Take you time."
"I spilt blood on church grounds. On God's house. I used violence to obtain something that I had longed for. I broke bones and bruised faces. I did that all here at one of the safest places I could think of--the house of God. What was worst, was that the father conducting the ceremony two weeks ago was injured."
"I see."
"Yes, it-it-it--"
"Don't rush, my son. No one is chasing you here. Do not worry about that. Please continue."
"Um...well, he wasn't injured severly, but he did not need to be harmed. It was partly my doing. The gun, we were fighting over it, and the trigger was set off. By my hand! I didn't mean for it to hit the priest. I'm terribly sorry for the harm I've done. I never meant for it to happen."
The father on the other side was silent for a moment, then he spoke sincerely, "No one ever means for things to happen. Now, are you the guard with the broken neck, or are you the young man with the braid?"
"Father, I am the one with the braid..." he said surprised. This man must be the father of the fucked up wedding.
"Well, my son, what do you want from me?"
"All I want Father, is to apologize for your injury and ask for forgiveness."
"You are forgiven."
Duo cocked an eyebrow, "That's it?"
"What more do you want?"
"Aren't you angered?"
The priest let out a small chuckle, "Son, that was the most exciting wedding I had ever been to. I know that's not what other people would be thinking, but I'm getting old and one doesn't get much action nowadays, hm...especially when one is a catholic priest. I am not angered. Let's just keep this between you and me, that was the adventure of the year."
Duo smiled, "Yes it was."
"Now, is that all?"
"Well, I cussed and used god's name in vain."
The priest sighed, "Shame on you."
"I know."
"Are you sorry?"
"Yes."
"Then God forgives you."
Duo chuckled, "I don't know if it's the last time."
"Well, then there's nothing I can do. Just be a good boy from now."
"Sure. I'll be leaving now." Duo said, "Thank you Father."
"You're very welcome."
"Good bye."
"Good bye."
~!~!~!~
Later that day, Heero wondered around the airport waiting for his luggage to arrive. Most of Duo's wounds had healed in a hospital not far from Relena's estate and as soon as they did, Heero and Duo left from their old home. The only one that still remained was the injury to othe back therefore Duo still had to wear bandages and get sponge bathed by Heero. Lucky dog. Heero stood as the bags of clothes and miscellaneous items passed him. He spotted his small suitcase and Duo's duffle bag. He quickly picked them up and began to walk to the car Quatre had ordered for them, he was so lucky to have friends like him.
Heero beamed down at his finger. He had a new ring now, a plain and simple silver band with 'Shinigami's Angel' inscribed on the inside which he enjoyed tracing. He admired the new jewelery on his hand, it was truly beautiful, and he loved everything about it. The size, the color, the design...everything. But he loved how it glittered in the sunlight the most. His old ring had been replaced. Replaced with one that he liked by the person he loved. Heero continued to walk thinking of what he and Duo would do when they got home.
Before he knew it, he was walking towards the glass revolving doors.
"Oi!"
The Japanese boy turned around and was greeted with the sight of Shinigami running towards him, braid trailing behind casually.
"Matte," Duo took the luggage from the boy with one hand and grabbed Heero's with the other, "...kudasai Heero?"
Entwining their fingers, Heero smiled again and nodded.
"Zutto..."
"I love you Heero."
"I love you too."

Matte Kudasai Heero
Part 5
~!~!~!~!~
Duo's breath blew through his teeth forcefully as he grew more tired from his loss of blood. Blackouts occurred every now and then, but he knew better than to blackout. He had to escape with Heero. But where? He had no car. How long would he have to run? He couldn't go on much longer in his condition. He'd try, but his body throbbed otherwise.
"Heero...where are we going to go?" he asked silently.
The hell if Heero knew.
"Are you okay, Heero?"
"Yes Duo, I'm fine." Heero smiled. That baka. Even though Heero had not a scratch on him, Duo was severly injured, and he had asked if *HE* was okay.
"That's good. The guards are still following us."
"I know."
"I guess we have to keep running."
Heero and Duo remained quiet as they approached the cathedral gates. Duo pushed them open as he leaned on Heero's shoulder. They were on the sidewalk when they heard unexpected words
"Stop where you are." a deep voice commanded low off the ground.
Heero turned around and looked down, it was a guard with a gigantic bruise on his right cheek. The man was very large and was holding his stomach. He recognized the position of the bruise. It was obviously Duo had gotten to him. When he fought, he only made internal wounds that could not be seen easily on the surface. Duo, however, left marks, bruise, blood. His style of fighting was less clean than his, but it was just as effective.
"Let the bitch go." the guard said.
Duo glared dangerously, "He's not a bitch..."
*click*
Damn! The gun that had shot him in the arm! Damn, damn, damn! Why didn't he pick it up??? Why???
"Let. The BITCH. Go!" the guard shouted, "Now, or I'll shoot where it hurts the most."
The gun was pointed at Heero.
Duo released Heero and stood in front of him to protect the only thing that mattered to him. His love. His Heero.
"Heero-sama, I strongly advise you to go back to the sanctuary."
Heero shook his head.
"Heero-sama, if you don't, I will be forced to kill this beast of a man."
Heero shook his head again.
"Heero-sa--oof!" the man grunted as he was caught off guard, "You little!"
Duo did the best he could to reach for the gun that he had just kicked out of the guard's hand. He was too slow though, if not for his injuries, he would have been quick enough to get the overlooked gun instead of at the same time as the guard.
Duo and the guard fought aimlessly for possession of the gun. Arms both dangerously gunpointed every other direction. Heero only watched. His soldier skills still unawakened. What was he to do? What could he do?
"Heero!"
Heero snapped his head toward the voice, "Relena?"
"Heero! I brought the priest to wed us!" It was Relena with many guards behind her along with Trowa, Quatre, and Wufei.
What?
She brought the priest, despite all the commotion, to wed them??? What the fuck was her problem???
"Give me the gun!"
Duo gritted his teeth and continued to wrestle with his opponent.
*BANG*
A gasping noise was heard.
Everything froze.
Duo's eyes became wide, "Oh god..."
Someone had been shot.
"Oh god." Duo gaped at the sight.
Someone had been shot.
"Oh god, oh god, oh god..."
It was the priest. The innocent priest was shot. How could that be? The trigger was squeezed, and he shot the priest. No! He couldn't be responsible for the harm of a second father!
"Oh god..."
Heero stared at Duo's shocked face, from behind him, he saw something else. It was another guard, and he was-he was--
"Duo look out!" Heero shouted urgently.
"Ugh!"
"NO! DUO!"
Duo knelt to the ground and held his side. His hand was covered in blood from his new wound. Everything happened so fast. What happened? He looked up at Heero with sad eyes, "I'm so sorry Heero. I'm so sorry..."
"Duo..." Heero's eyes became blurry. He rushed to his fallen love's side and lifted him into his arms, "Duo..."
"Heero, I'm so sorry. I...I just wanted to be with you. I'm sorry..."
Then his eyes closed.
"Duo! Duo! Duo open your eyes!" Heero bowed his head and tears were visibly seen by all who was watching.
It was a sight no one had ever seen. Heero, the ex-perfect soldier, was crying. The agonized boy squeezed the American. Why Duo? Why? Just when he thought that he was going to be happy, everything took a turn for the worst. Why? No, he can't blame it on anyone. It was his fault. He caused Duo so much pain. Why did Duo even want to be with him? Why? Why did Duo always get hurt? Why couldn't it be him for once?
Why didn't he do anything when he saw what was going to happen and no one else did???
Heero looked at the wooden object that had been lodged into Duo from behind. No one saw it except for him. And he didn't do anything! He watched it happen! Why didn't he do anything??? Another guard had come up from behind when the priest was shot then stabbed Duo with a wooden cross from the courtyard. Why didn't he do anything???
"Duo..."
He sat there void from anything. Why didn't he do anything? Why didn't he try the stop the man who stabbed his love? He closed his eyes.
The rain.
The priest.
His love.
"Come along Heero." Relena smirked.
That voice.
"He's dead..." she said sharply.
He hated that voice.
His eyebrows knitted together as he hugged his beloved tighter.
Why didn't he do anything?
"Heero, let's go!"
HE HATED THAT VOICE!!!
Heero gently laid down and stood up with his head still down. A mysterious chill run up everyone's spine as he barely lifted his chin only revealing his cold eyes. His cold, cold eyes. Angry, confused, sad, icy...
"Heero?" Relena dared to call.
Heero did not reply. He turned to the guard who stabbed Duo. Energy that hadn't been felt since the war ended came rushing to him. It was as if another war had started, and he had be reborn. The only difference between this new war and the other one was that for once, Heero had a reason. Heero had a reason, and now...he was going to fight for it. The guard slowly backed up feeling that he had made the biggest mistake of his life.
The feeling of wrong was swarming around his emotions.
The Perfect Soldier was back.
Everyone knew.
The dangerous death glare said it all.
"Omae o korosu..."
The guard, drenched in sweat, swallowed the large lump in his throat as the angry Japanese boy approached him. He knew exactly who Heero Yuy was. He knew the damage he could do, yet he still took the chance to anger him and now...The guard tripped over a crack in the surface of the gravel and fell backwards. Heero narrowed his glare and picked the man up.
"Huugh! Ugh! Guuuh!"
Heero punched the guard over and over until the guard fell to the ground again and stopped moving. Even after that, he kicked him once hard in the place where Duo was stabbed until blood came from his mouth.
Other guards attacked him one by one. No guard left without a broken bone and a new fear of Heero Yuy. He had defeated the guards who were restraining his friends. Heero turned his head and saw the last guard. The guard with the gun. The guard that had tried to shoot them. He narrowed his eyes.
"Omae o korosu."
~!~!~!~
Trowa and Wufei watched as the priest was shot. Wufei immediantly supported the priest and helped the elderly man up. He turned to Trowa who was suddenly seized.
"Hey!"
"Quatre!" Trowa said. The guards just restrained him, Quatre, Wufei, and Dorothy.
The only thing they could do was watch. They couldn't help. The guards restrained them with handcuffs [1].
Damn.
This was torture.
"Injustice."
~!~!~!~
Heero sprinted for the guard. He jumped and kicked the gun out of his hand again then delivered a heavy punch upon the bruise his love made. He kicked him in the head. A cracking noise was heard indicating that a bone in his neck was broken. Heero delivered heavy punches to the man's chest and took his manhood away with a powerful kick. Ouch.
"Heero! Heero! Heero!" his friends called trying to get him to stop beating the shit out of the last guard, but the Japanese boy would not hear them. The three other ex-gundam pilots tried to contain him, but Heero would have none of that.
"Hee-Heero," a deep voice choked, "Heero, that's enough."
Heero turned to the choking voice. It was Duo.
"Duo!" Heero ran to his love, "Duo!" He encircled Duo's neck. "Duo, Duo, Duo, Duo, Duo!"
A faint smile was brought to the braided boy's bloody lips. He coughed and more blood was spilt. Heero wiped it away, "I'm so very sorry Duo."
"Hee-chan?" Duo managed to say even though blood seeped through the corners of his mouth.
"Yes Duo?"
"I--"
"HEERO!!!" screeched Relena's delayed reaction.
Heero glared at the girl, "I hate you..."
"Heero?"
"Relena, I HATE you!" he shouted at the girl. He walked slowly over to her and she walked to the sidewalk backing into the street. "Relena I HATE YOU!!!"
Relena covered her ears, "No Heero, you don't hate me! You love me! You've always loved me!"
"I hate you Relena! Why can't you leave me alone? Why won't you go away??? Why won't you just LEAVE?!" Heero said walking closer as Relena was standing in the street. "I. HATE. YOU!!!"
"NO--"
*EEEEEEERRRRRAAAAAAANNNNNN!*
"AAAAAAHHHH!!!" suddenly, Relena fell limply.
A blanket of silence coated everyone who saw what happened.
Dorothy covered her mouth as tears streamed down her face. Her breathing was uneven and sweat was dripping down her face.
"AAAAIIIIIEEEEE! RELENA-SAMA!!!" she screamed with a terribling voice. She ran to the bloody girl, "RELENA-SAMA!"
Relena remained still.
"RELENA-SAMA!" Dorothy wept over her friend.
"Dorothy?" a small voice asked.
"Yes Relena, I'm here." She picked Relena up and moved her out of the street.
"What happened? Why does my whole body hurt? I can't feel my legs..."
Should she tell her? Should she tell her that a car just hit her?
No. That would make everything worse.
The gray car that hit Relena came to a skitting stop. As soon as the car halted, the driver stepped out. He took off his dark sunglasses and revealed his shocked and scared eyes. He could not believe what he had just done. He recognized the face. He gasped.
He had just hit the Vice Foregin Minister Darlin! He hit Miss Relena! What a bad day.
"Oh my God, Miss Relena! Miss Relena! Are you alright? Miss Relena, I'm terribly sorry!"
Relena closed and opened her mouth struggling to say something. Then her reply came, "What happened? I can't feel anything. What's happened to me?" she asked pathetically.
"Everything's okay." Dorothy white lied. She didn't know what was going to happen, but it was the best answer she could think of.
"Where's Heero?"
"He's with Duo."
"Oh. Is he staying with him?"
"Yes Relena-san, he is staying with him."
Relena frowned, "Well, if he stays with Duo, then who will protect me?"
"I will. From now on Relena-san, I will protect you." Dorothy smiled, "...I will." Dorothy then replied seriously, no hint of false intention, "I will protect you with my life."
Relena stared at the girl for what seemed to be hours, "Dorothy...?"
"I will protect you forever."
~!~!~!~!~
Heero stared at the girl whose crush caused this disaster. A car hit her. A car hit her. A CAR HIT HER! In a way he wanted it to happen, but...now that it did, he felt...guilty. Guilty because he edged her into the street. This new guilt hurt Heero. He already hated it. He had to pay her back somehow. He didn't want to, but for Shinigami's sake, she was hit by a car because of him!!! Even though he knew that if Duo was hit by a car, she would've been the happiest person alive, he, wasn't pure evil. He felt things like everyone else.
Heero draped his head, "What have I done?"
"It's...it--it's not your fault--*coughcough* Hee-Heero..." Duo staggered.
Heero sighed. He had to do something.
Duo closed his eyes with his head pressed against Heero's chest. This wasn't completely over yet. At least he was with the one he loved and the one he loved was with him. Finally.
"Heero, I've missed you so much."
"I've missed you to Duo. You know that right?" Heero waited for an answer, but none came, "Duo? Duo?" Heero shook the figure in his lap, and was relieved when a single snore emerged. He smiled softly and stroked the resting boy's hair.
~!~!~!~!~
Trowa grabbed his cell phone and called the police. Trowa saw the sadness in Dorothy's eyes. Poor girl. Such a faithful friend, she was even going to let Relena marry someone who doesn't like her the way she does. All because Relena had a crush on him. Poor, poor, girl.
"Trowa?"
"Yes Quatre."
"I feel a bit dizzy."
"I'm not the least surprise." he wrapped an arm around the shorter boy from him to lean on.
The priest sighed, "Young man," he said to Wufei.
"What is it Father? Is your arm in much pain?"
"Well, yes, but...this was the most interesting wedding catastrophe I have ever attended."
Wufei smirked, "I'm sure. But I'm not at all surprised. Controversy has been an issue between Heero and Relena--hints the catastrophic event. I think it's finally come to an end."
"I hope everyone finds peace." said the priest.
The next sound heard was the sirens of the ambulance.
~!~!~!~
Heero knocked on the door of Duo's room. The nurses wouldn't let Heero see Duo for three days because of Duo's severe injuries. Today was the okay and he had come to see his love during visiting hours.
"Come in."
"Duo?" Heero asked peeking through the door. He was a bit nervous. He had not seen Duo out someone stoping him. It would feel so...weird if he just walked in and no one told him that he couldn't.
"Oh, Heero. Hey. How are you?"
"I'm good. All I had were bruised knuckles." Heero said shyly and stood at the door after he had gently closed it.
"I bet it was from beatin' the shit out of all those men." Duo chuckled. He was playing with the jello that the nurse had brought in for him on a tray. He was wearing a white hospital gown with countless bandages and patches. He looked kinda...funny. An adult in a ridiculous amount of bandages playing with his jello. The jello was being squished, flipped, flopped, dropped, plopped, splatted, and slurped. Duo stopped and looked at Heero.
"Aren't you going to sit down?"
Heero nodded nervously and approached his love. He sat in a chair against the wall that was in front of the foot of Duo's bed.
Duo frowned, "Are you sure you're good?"
"Yes."
"Okay, so how's Relena pulling?"
Heero shrugged, "Fine. She doesn't remember being hit by a car. She broke her right hip, knee, and shin. A couple of bumps and bruises. Nothing more serious than that. Dorothy is her new body guard. She's making Relena cover all the hospital bills for all of us. I haven't seen her though, I heard that from Quatre."
"Really, that's interesting." Duo paused, "What about the priest?"
"He had a flesh wound from being shot in the forearm. He says that he's fine. He was released the day yesterday evening."
"That's good. I think I should pay him a visit when I leave."
"What were your injuries, Duo?"
"Most were flesh wounds, but they needed to be treated. You know how this works. I had a couple of gun shots. That thing in my back removed too. Nothing I can't handle."
"Do you want me to leave so you can rest?"
"No," Duo shook his head, "Heero come here."
Heero stood and picked up the chair.
"Leave it."
"Do you want me to stand?"
Duo chuckled, "Don't be silly." as soon as Heero was in arm's length, Duo pulled Heero on to the bed and held him tightly.
"Heero. I've missed you so so so much." he said.
Heero's eyes began to water, "Duo..."
"I thought you were really going to marry Relena. I thought I'd never be with you again. I'm sorry."
Heero lifted his head once again with tears streaming down his cheeks, "I'm sorry too."
"Heero, I don't know why I never told you before, but...I love you. I fuckin' love you. I never want to leave you. I never want anything to happen to us again. I never want anything to come between us. Never! I love you!"
Whatever control Heero had left was gone now, "Duo, I love you too," the boy took a breath, " I love you too." Heero collapsed on Duo's chest--it hurt, but Duo would do anything to had Heero back again. Heero cried and cried. Duo stroked his hair and allowed a few tears to fall himself.
okay, he knew that he would do anything for Heero, but--
"Hee-chan?"
"Hmm?"
"Try not to apply too much pressure, my back is killing me." Duo said with a light heart.
"Gomen." Heero replied and loosened his head pressure on Duo's chest.
Another calm moment of silence passed.
"Duo?" Heero asked.
"Hmm?" Duo replied.
"Um...I'm been wanting to do this for a long time."
"What?"
Heero cupped each of Duo's cheeks then pressed his lips softly against Duo's forming a long wanted kiss. He kissed Duo for a second and parted to see his reaction. Duo had no reaction. He remained still.
"Duo?" Heero asked with sudden fear.
Duo looked at his love with watery eyes, "Heero...you do know that you can't kiss me then let go just like that don't you?"
Heero nodded.
"Come here," Duo said and pulled Heero into another kiss.
Before they knew it, the boys were asleep.
~!~!~!~
Two weeks later Heero sighed as he stood outside of the last hospital door he would visit. He stood with a bouquet of flowers in his hand.
"Relena..." he said sadly. He rapped his delicate knuckles against the pale blue door.
The pale blue door quietly opened and he wasn't at all surprised to see Dorothy Catalonia standing in the entrance.
"Hello Heero."
Heero nodded his greeting, "May I see Relena?"
Dorothy smirked, "Heero Yuy, I do believe that this is the first time you actually choose, on your own, to see Miss Relena. Even so, very well, she just woke up. Come in."
Heero entered hesistantly.
"Can I help you?"
"I would like to speak to her alone, if you don't mind."
Dorothy shook her head, "No, it's not problem with me. Go ahead. Take your time. I'll be outside."
He observed the sight before him after Dorothy left. Relena was sitting in an upright position on the white hospital bed with her leg propped up in a cast. She had a bandages wrapped around her wrist and forehead. Adhesive tape seemed to be the fashion theme for her instead of pin for once. The scent of flowers gently polluted the air and Get Well balloons floated around the room. The window allowed much sunshine that shone on her face and hair. Her cerulean eyes were concentrated on the small television connected from the ceiling. She was trying to change the channel, but it appeared that the batteries were dying.
Heero cleared his throat.
"Ahem."
Relena directed her attention to the unnoticed visitor, "Heero?" she asked with certain surprise, "What are you doing here?"
"I've come to say good-bye."
"Oh..." Relena said with depression, "When are you leaving?"
"When Duo comes back from the church."
"I see."
A strainuous silence took over.
"Where are you headed to?" Relena asked.
Heero shrugged, "I suppose wherever Duo takes me."
"That would be logical."
"I..." Heero scratched the back of his head trying to formulate his reply, "I--"
"What is it Heero?"
"I...I...I'm---"
"You're what?"
"I'm-I'm-I'm..." Heero drew it a breath, "I'm...sorry Relena."
Relena's eyes widen.
Heero Yuy just apologized to her.
She looked away and smirked, "No Heero, I'm sorry. I'm sorry I took five years away from you life. You're twenty. You should be enjoying life. You shouldn't feel like you must slave to my commands. I'm sorry I put you through that. So very sorry."
Heero stared at the girl for a brief moment.
"No need to say anything, I know that you're the silent type. I'm just sorry."
"Me too."
"You know what Heero?"
"What?"
"I'm going to tell you a secret. Come here."
For once, Heero came.
"I'm kind of glad that this wedding fuck up happened."
"You are?"
"Yes. I'm glad that it happened because frankly, I wasn't getting any from you and we just didn't...click. If this hadn't happen, then we would still be unhappy young adults. We don't need that."
Now she was thinking.
"In fact, I wish it happened sooner. I don't know about you, but much grief has been removed from my chest...don't you agree?"
Heero nodded. It's funny in a way. It took over five years, a wedding disaster, hate, a car accident, and a broken hip, knee, and shin for her for her to finally realize that.
"It's funny in a way. It took a car to hit me for me to finally realize that. I don't know why I didn't see it before."
Heero cocked an eyebrow.
"Well, it was nice of you to drop by Heero. That was very thoughtful." Relena glanced up and down his body. She noticed flowers in his hand. "I didn't know that Duo liked flowers."
Heero looked down and saw the flowers he was holding. He had forgotten to give them to her! "Um...these are for you." he said shakely and presented them to her. She accepted gratefully.
"Thank you Heero. That's very sweet of you."
"Um...you're welcome."
"You should go now. I'm sure Duo's back now, ne?" she added a smile.
Heero smirked for the first time at her, "Yes, Duo should be back now."
She released a breath of air and he suddenly embraced her. Relena gasped, "Heero?"
Heero pulled away, "Relena, I want you to know that even if I don't love you, or even like you as much as others, doesn't mean that I don't care about you. Because I do care for you, as a friend. I don't hate you. I was angry. I'm sorry."
The wheat-haired girl smiled, "I care about you too." She sighed, "I do hope that you'll visit me when you had the chance, okay?"
"Okay."
"Good. Now get! Duo probably wants to get the hell out of here!"
"Sayonara Relena-san."
"Sayonara Heero-kun."
With that Heero departed and headed down to the lobby where he was to meet with Duo.
~!~!~!~!~
Duo was ready to leave. He wanted to leave. He wanted to leave and live with Heero.
But first there were a few things to take care of.
Duo stepped out of the yellow taxi and looked at the large church where so many things had happened. He walked to the cathedral doors and made his way to the confession booth. He drew in a long breath. It had been a long time since he had even touched the wooden doors with elaborate cravings. He traced the wood then opened the small door and stepped in.
"What can I do for you my child?" a voice came from the other side.
Duo sighed, "Forgive me Father, for I have sinned."
"Which hints the reason why you're here. Why don't you tell me about it?"
"Well, I--I...I--"
"Take you time."
"I spilt blood on church grounds. On God's house. I used violence to obtain something that I had longed for. I broke bones and bruised faces. I did that all here at one of the safest places I could think of--the house of God. What was worst, was that the father conducting the ceremony two weeks ago was injured."
"I see."
"Yes, it-it-it--"
"Don't rush, my son. No one is chasing you here. Do not worry about that. Please continue."
"Um...well, he wasn't injured severly, but he did not need to be harmed. It was partly my doing. The gun, we were fighting over it, and the trigger was set off. By my hand! I didn't mean for it to hit the priest. I'm terribly sorry for the harm I've done. I never meant for it to happen."
The father on the other side was silent for a moment, then he spoke sincerely, "No one ever means for things to happen. Now, are you the guard with the broken neck, or are you the young man with the braid?"
"Father, I am the one with the braid..." he said surprised. This man must be the father of the fucked up wedding.
"Well, my son, what do you want from me?"
"All I want Father, is to apologize for your injury and ask for forgiveness."
"You are forgiven."
Duo cocked an eyebrow, "That's it?"
"What more do you want?"
"Aren't you angered?"
The priest let out a small chuckle, "Son, that was the most exciting wedding I had ever been to. I know that's not what other people would be thinking, but I'm getting old and one doesn't get much action nowadays, hm...especially when one is a catholic priest. I am not angered. Let's just keep this between you and me, that was the adventure of the year."
Duo smiled, "Yes it was."
"Now, is that all?"
"Well, I cussed and used god's name in vain."
The priest sighed, "Shame on you."
"I know."
"Are you sorry?"
"Yes."
"Then God forgives you."
Duo chuckled, "I don't know if it's the last time."
"Well, then there's nothing I can do. Just be a good boy from now."
"Sure. I'll be leaving now." Duo said, "Thank you Father."
"You're very welcome."
"Good bye."
"Good bye."
~!~!~!~
Later that day, Heero wondered around the airport waiting for his luggage to arrive. Most of Duo's wounds had healed in a hospital not far from Relena's estate and as soon as they did, Heero and Duo left from their old home. The only one that still remained was the injury to othe back therefore Duo still had to wear bandages and get sponge bathed by Heero. Lucky dog. Heero stood as the bags of clothes and miscellaneous items passed him. He spotted his small suitcase and Duo's duffle bag. He quickly picked them up and began to walk to the car Quatre had ordered for them, he was so lucky to have friends like him.
Heero beamed down at his finger. He had a new ring now, a plain and simple silver band with 'Shinigami's Angel' inscribed on the inside which he enjoyed tracing. He admired the new jewelery on his hand, it was truly beautiful, and he loved everything about it. The size, the color, the design...everything. But he loved how it glittered in the sunlight the most. His old ring had been replaced. Replaced with one that he liked by the person he loved. Heero continued to walk thinking of what he and Duo would do when they got home.
Before he knew it, he was walking towards the glass revolving doors.
"Oi!"
The Japanese boy turned around and was greeted with the sight of Shinigami running towards him, braid trailing behind casually.
"Matte," Duo took the luggage from the boy with one hand and grabbed Heero's with the other, "...kudasai Heero?"
Entwining their fingers, Heero smiled again and nodded.
"Zutto..."
"I love you Heero."
"I love you too."
