Yello once again (once again) From the deep recesses of my mind (I know oh the horror)

Thanks for the reviews, guys ( and for the suggestions) I'll try to work in as many of them as I possibly can ( my story is very very flexible because I write it as I read it, no plot set down already so anything can happen ::winks::)

Rika_1: sorry for not saying thanks last time, and I like puppy eyes okay? They're cool and I can't do chibi eyes ::tries and all of the eye junk flies everywhere:: see?

Westwind: Yipes you're watching me (stares about paranoiacly) Don't blame me if u become a diabetic, 'twas your fault for reading it! I post about once a week (takes me that long to a get around to it and b figure out the plot for another chapter) Don't coo too much or you'll become a dove and get caught n then only released at a wedding!

Relwarc: ah.. maybe I'll do that, but I think most people are getting sick of the "Quatre enters minds but never really does anything" deal. Trowa, however I may bring up again soon. So anyways, because people are saying they don't like the Quatre mind-meld , I decided to do something else this chapter.

Chibidark angel: yes relena is a biach (as I like to say) and Heero never ever liked her ever. It was just a cover to hide his real emotions okay? God's gonna keep annoying him until the end ( I've got a secret at the end you're not gonna find out until then) trying not to make it too easy, but it's getting a little hard, I'm getting bored of this story, but I'll keep working on it!

Nymph Demon: Tried to fix that up, maybe it's a little better now.Newyas, thanks for the advice, tried to follow it as close as I could!

EvilGoddess: Completely agree with you there, evil. It's getting a little tiresome of watching him do nothing really, isn't it? I've got a couple new ideas that maybe can work themselves into the plot soon enough. Anyways, keep reading okay stick with me for a little while longer!

AkinaMeigatsuno: Yeah that was a cute scene, neh? Okay, thanks about the God, a lot of people seem to like him ::pats god on the head:: whoooos a good Deity, yes you are yes you are!! I dunno where the pineapple thing came from, to tell you the truth (I think my mum was eating pineapple or something.. And I just overheard I guess.) anyways, here's the next chapter, hope it was soon enough!

I think that be all right?

Chapter 6

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

This was stupid, Quatre thought. He had gone another night through Duo's and Heero's dreams again, with no change. Duo was still shunning him, not believing that it was truly him and Heero, well with Heero he had absolutely no way to communicate with him, since his dream world was a computer with no keyboard.

He sighed sadly, shaking his semi-transparent head. Christmas Eve. He was going to miss it all, leave Trowa alone for Christmas, never get the skittish Duo to open up to the stoic Heero, and live the rest of his eternity being antagonized by a sarcastic entity. He felt like killing himself, but of course, he was already dead, so what good would that do?

While Quatre was brooding over this in the main hall, Duo walked into the Living room, which was bedecked with red and green ornaments that glittered and sparkled, but he barely noticed the beauty of it all. He had been thinking long and hard about the spirit that constantly came into his dreams over the past 2 days, and had reached a decision. Obviously Quatre was dead, they had found the body and he had identified him for the police, so maybe these spirit-comings were all a cry for help, a cry for attention.

Also, little did anyone know it, but Duo was very into the dark sorcery. Behind the posters of various random junk and stupid gizmos that nobody would actually own, he had stored a box of tarot cards, voodoo dolls and spell scrolls, among other things. And now another idea had hatched in his hare-brained skull and was growing into a full-out plan. If dead Quatre was trying to send him a message, why not help him to? Pulling out his special crystal ball he had lifted off of a Romanian Gypsy, he had quickly walked down to the living room, gathering the other 3 boys around him as well, telling them all to kneel around the glowing orb, as all did, although Wufei had to yell about the injustice of having to do something when he didn't know why he was doing it first. Then, Duo finally said what his great plan was.

"We're holding a séance, okay?" He practically yelped, so pleased with himself. Heero looked at Duo strangely, saying "Why would that work and what would that accomplish anyways?"

"Well, see I've been having these really creepy dreams where Quatre comes, except he's got these huge wings and he tells me he needs my help so I thought maybe he would come if we did this, since he wants to get help anyways, his spirit must be wanting to be seen as well." With that he joined the circle, saying "Clear your thoughts of everything except Quatre. Call him back with every centimetre of your soul." After that, he took to chanting an old dialect, as ancient as the practice itself, while the other 3 boys thought of Quatre with all the willpower they could muster.

Back in the main hall, Quatre felt a strange tugging on his back, not unlike when he was pulled into the dreamworld, except this one was icy cold, gripping his muscles and freezing them in place where he was, slowly pulling him closer and closer to the boys until he stood right in front of the circle. He gazed around wildly, yelling "What in hell's name is going on here?" Suddenly, Duo stopped chanting as he snapped his wide violet eyes open to stare straight at the floating boy in front of him, as did the other 3 boys. Quatre stared all the more back, whispering "Can you see me? And hear me?"

"Yes, Spirit of Quatre, we hear you." Mumbled Duo out of the corner of his mouth, as the book told him to do. Heero was looking down at Quatre's feet, his way of showing amazement, while Wufei looked on scornfully, but with a bit of interest apparent in his eyes. Trowa was gaping, with his mouth open in a small "o", unwilling to tear his gaze away from his love back from the dead. Quatre gazed back "Trowa, can you see me?" Slowly, ever so slowly, Trowa nodded. Quatre floated right up to him, wrapping his arms around the taller boy, forgetting the fact that he couldn't feel Trowa, just so he could remember the way things were. Trowa, however, gave no response. He could not think of a response to give that would totally cover all the emotions welling up inside him. He wanted to kiss him, to caress him, to hold him close, but he could not feel the feather-light shiver of cold that ran through him as his love surrounded him. It broke his heart to the core.

Quatre pulled back, noticing the slight shifting of weight in his love's pose, and so he pulled back. Duo looked up into Quatre's eyes, whispering softly "Spirit of Quatre, why have you been invading my dreams the past 2 days? What is it that you want from me?"

"God, Duo if only I knew for myself." Came the remark, as the angel slowly shrugged his shoulders. "All I know is that I have a mission, and my time's gong to run out soon, and I'm so confused and lost that soon I'm going to scream!" Duo snorted. "Well, that certainly wrecked the seriousness of this séance." Quatre sighed again, then he said "Hey, listen Duo. Tomorrow's Christmas, and I want to be home - really home - by then, so will you do me a favour and talk to me alone for a minute?" Duo nodded once again, looking back and forth at the other 3 boys. "That's okay with you, right?" Wufei had already gotten up, muttering something about meditation, and Heero, glancing back at Duo once, disappeared behind the oak doors to the room. Trowa stayed behind, looking with feeling at the apparition of Quatre, until, unable to stand the feeling of looking at something that was so close, but not quite the same as his koi, he left the room as well.

"Well, Quatre, we're alone like you wanted, so why don't you tell me what you wanted to?" Prodded the amethyst-eyed boy expectantly.

Quatre sighed. The dream-talking sure wasn't working, and following them around for eternity was never going to work, Duo was too shy to do something like stand up and say what he felt for Heero, too worried about what would happen to the Japanese man if he said something to him. No, Quatre had to tell him something that was almost too hard to say.

The truth.

TBC.... .. . .. ..

Sorry 'bout the long delay there guys, I've been kinda distracted lately, so hopefully that was good anyways (I don't think the second half makes any sense whatsoever though ^_^)

So, please tell me! I'm not going to do the "Give me 10 reviews or else I won't write the next chapter" bit, but I seriously do like to know if someone's reading out there (It gives me more confidence to write more.) So if you like it, plz PLZ tell me so I will keep going. Same thing if you don't like it, please tell me so I won't keep writing the same thing, or I'll alter what needs to be fixed.

In other words: READ AND REVIEW NOW!!! .. .. .. .. .. .. onegai?
