Star-Crossed Lovers - Part 13
Things were going to change, whether they liked it or not. Soon, he would be with the man he loved, whether his family approved or not. Surely, the Prince would understand, and then they could be together. Then, maybe Wufei would drop the ridiculous blood feud. His love would never strike down an unarmed woman. His love would have tried to save her no matter what; hell, he even saved that harridan Relena.
"Heero," J called, frantically trying to find Heero. Heero turned from his thoughts and watched J hurry across the room.
"J, what's going on? Is everything all right? Is it Duo?"
"Heero, Wufei's dead," J panted out, trying to catch his breath.
Heero, crestfallen, stammered. "What? How? Why? J, tell me what happened." They both stood there a moment, staring at each other. Heero wondered what could have happened in such a short time. Where was Duo? Was he okay? And how did this involve the Prince's cousin? His musings continued, until he realized that J was ready to give him an answer.
"This morning, Duo put Trowa and Quatre in charge of bringing your case before the Prince. On their way there, they ran into Wufei. From what I understand, Wufei attacked Winner and Trowa tried to talk some sense into him. Shortly afterwards, Duo showed up, and tried to stop anyone from getting hurt. He tried to stop Wufei because of his love for you, but it wasn't to be. Somehow, Wufei killed Trowa, who was trying to protect both Quatre and Duo from getting killed. After Trowa died, Duo picked up Trowa's sword and killed Wufei to avenge Trowa's death." Heero gasped in horror.
"God, Duo! What will become of us? Tell me, is he still alive? Did the Prince sentence him to death?"
"Yes, he is still alive, but the Prince has exiled him from Sanc," J said softly.
"No," Heero sobbed. "Please, no. What are we going to do?"
"Heero, don't worry. It'll be okay." J paused for a moment, thinking about what to do. "He's at Father Maxwell's. We can send him a message and you can meet to consummate your marriage. Once that's done, you can go to the Prince as a representative of both houses."
Heero sat there numbly, thinking about his options. This was the only way they could be together. If things continued this way, it would destroy everything they had tried to accomplish up to this point. It was up to them to restore the peace with their love. "J, find Duo and tell him to meet me here tonight. We will end the fighting tonight by cementing our love. Then, I will make it official tomorrow by pleading our case to the Prince. Hurry J, please find him and tell him."
"You can count on me, Heero," J promised and then left in search of Duo.
