Chapter 2
"What did you see?!" Heero demanded again. He had already asked the question twice, but he couldn't get Duo to answer him. He had to do something about him. He helped him over to the bed, and tried again. "Duo, what's the matter? What happened?" Duo finally looked up at Heero, some of the color returning to his face. "Heero, I'm.scared." Heero looked at him with concern. "Why? Why are you scared?" Again, Duo was unusually silent. Heero decided that maybe he should leave Duo alone for a little while to rest, but when he tried to go, Duo grabbed him by his shirt. "Please. Don't leave me alone." "Duo, what is the matter with you?" Duo stood. "Let's go." Heero looked at him strangely. "Go? Go where?" Duo started to walk out of the room. "Anywhere but here."
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
Heero and Duo leave the house and go to the nearest Denny's (they could discuss their whole life stories before the food ever came!). Duo stared at the table for a long moment before starting. "You remember when I said that I could feel 'something' in the house and ya'll thought I was crazy? Well, it has to do with that." Heero interrupted him here. "No. Let's not start on that again." "But, Heero, I saw a ghost! And that ghost is the thing in the bedroom!" Heero sighed. "You probably just got yourself all worked up with all this talk of ghosts and you just think you saw something." "So, what am I?! A schizophrenic now?!" Duo stopped and looked out the window. He should have known that even after he had gone through such an experience, Heero still wouldn't believe him. The long pause only grew longer as the two friends sat staring anywhere except in the direction of the other one. Finally Heero broke the silence. "Ok, Duo, fine. What if you really did see a ghost and our house is haunted? So what? What happens then?" Duo still wouldn't look at him. "I would tell you, but the only reason you ask is to mock me." He answered. "No, Duo, I'm not mocking you. You should know me better than that."
They didn't get much farther than that in their conversation before the food came and Duo.wasn't eating. "Duo, what's wrong?" There are three ways to tell that there is something seriously wrong with Duo. 1.)if he doesn't talk. 2.)if he doesn't eat 3.)if he doesn't annoy Wufei. He had already displayed two of these conditions, and if the third one happened, they were going to be in real trouble. "I said, what's bothering you, Duo?" Duo looked at him nonchalantly. "Your ghost, perhaps?" "No. It's not that, it's just that you don't believe me." "And why does that affect you so much? It's never seemed to bother you before when I said I didn't believe you about something." "Yeah, but then you didn't seriously believe that I'd lost my mind either!" Duo snapped back. Heero gave him that 'you really believe that' look. "You do! You think I'm crazy!" Heero gave him a small warm smile. "The way you're getting all defensive about it, I'd say you're the one who's doubting your own sanity." Duo looked out the window again, there seemed to be something awfully interesting outside.
* * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * *
The rest of the time spent with Duo had gotten Heero nowhere in trying to solve what it was that was bothering him. Duo seemed a lot different now. He wouldn't sleep in his own bedroom, he never wanted to be alone even though he rarely spoke and usually at only once or twice a day instead of his usual fifteen meals. Quatre was so worried about him that he had called in a psychiatrist to talk to Duo, but Heero could have told Quatre that was a bad idea before he even thought it. Now all of Duo's comments went along the lines of 'you just think I've lost my mind.' By the third day of this, Heero had decided he had had enough. He had to figure out what was bothering Duo so much about this ghost thing.
He told the others what he was going to do. They all left, Quatre being the last to leave. "Are you going to leave me alone? You're not, are you?" Duo looked worried. "Don't worry, Duo, Heero will be here with you."
Quatre left and Duo went to go and look for Heero. He knew he had been acting extremely childish the past few days but he was still shaken up pretty bad by what had happened. He had never experienced anything like that before. Sure, he had seen some pretty ghastly ghosts in his life, but there was something about this one that just took the cake. The look it had, the feeling he got when he saw it. Those cold chills were something much more than just plain fear. Then he remembered. The curse! He had almost forgotten all about the curse! He ran to the kitchen, but there was Heero. "Hey! Get out of here!" Heero looked at him oddly. "Why?" Duo knew he had to come up with something Heero would believe to get him to leave, and that was going to be difficult. So, he just thought of something he wouldn't believe, but wouldn't question either. "I've decided that I'm going to make something." This statement was met with disbelief. "Make something? You? Besides, why can't I be in here when you do that?" Ok, so he'd been wrong, but then again, this was Heero Yuy. He could question anything.
"What are you going to make? Something good?" Duo folded his arms across his chest. "Yes! Now I said get out!" Heero rolled his eyes and left Duo to do what he was going to in the kitchen. Now Heero was gone. Good. Now he could do what he needed, except that he didn't know exactly what he needed to do.
He started the only place he knew to start, by checking the sealing he had put on the curse a few days ago. It was still there, but it had weakened considerably even in the short time he had left it unattended. That wasn't normal. He needed to do something else, but what?
He went to his room and opened the closet. Under the bed wasn't the only place he kept secrets. There was a small compartment hidden in the back of the closet. He opened it to reveal more robes, parchment, several quill pens, and a few old, large books. (Yes, somehow he made it all fit!) He opened one of the books and began flipping through the pages. The spell he needed was somewhere in these books, or at least the spell that would have to do for now. He searched frantically, but before he could find the spell, he heard something downstairs.Heero!
He rushed down the stairs. Heero was laying on the kitchen floor in shock, and there was something over him. It looked almost like a dragon, but it only had the consistency of a shadow. He had to help Heero. "Heero! Run!" He shouted, but Heero was petrified and didn't move. Duo ran upstairs and got his scythe. When he returned Heero was in the monster's grasp. Duo couldn't figure out what the monster was doing. It looked as if it was going to kiss Heero, but he didn't have time to stand and observe, he had to help him! He vaulted toward the shadow dragon and sliced through its neck. That should have done it, but to Duo's surprise, the monster healed immediately, and turned back toward him, ready to fight. He led it around the room destroying things as it went, but it seemed that no matter how many times he thought he had wounded it, the monster rose unscathed. He finally tried a sealing spell, but it proved to be pathetically weak against this strange foe.
It had wounded him twice already, once in the leg, and again at the waist, yet he had failed to wound it at all. It kept coming for him again and again. He knew he couldn't keep this up for much longer with his injuries, he was tired and this thing seemed to only get more energetic as the fight went on. He couldn't tell if Heero was alright or not. As far as he could tell, he was still lying on the floor in the kitchen, but the demon wouldn't let him close enough to see. It was if it were trying to keep him away from Heero, his prey. Duo needed help, but where was he going to get help with this problem?
Suddenly, the thing had him down on the ground. The shadow claws come down, and Duo knew this to be the end. But the claws never struck. And Duo realized that a spell had been cast on the dragon from behind. He opened his eyes to see a young girl holding a pipe. "Who are you?" she walked toward him smiling. "I didn't expect you to know me, young Shinigami, but my name is Pan."
Well, chapter 2 is finally up and running! Sorry about any slow plot movement at the beginning, but I was having major writers block (as it seems I do a lot!) and I needed something to move the story line along! Besides! I think you will all like it in the end! Actually, I'm almost not sure how I'm going to make it yet, but I think this is going to be another great work by Mint Maxwell! Or at least I hope! Please review it! I have only gotten one review for this so far! I need to see what I did right so I can hopefully do it again! So please review and tell me what you honestly thought! Ok! Long winded author is going now! Bye bye!
