So here is the next part of Pavane. So for a recap, Duo has just met Hotaru and has learned about the problems with their two worlds some how colliding in a sense, and now the need for shinigami has arisen. So what will happen to the braided wonder? We shall see.
Pavane For A Dead Princess
Part II
Baile con la muerte
Duo awoke to the morning sun tickling his face. Stifling a yawn, he stretched and popped his back. What a strange dream he had the previous night. The beautiful mysterious death princess, and the others. He scratched his chin wondering if it was the slightest bit possible. Yawning again, the pilot of Deathscythe moved from the small crash space to an adjoining lavatory. Despite it being rather early in the morning, his mind was still racing from all the things he'd seen.
The latter part of the morning was spent scrounging around for parts to fix his Gundam with. After an early rising and a whole lot of confusion, he thought the best way to cope was to tweak his precious mobile suit. What a beautiful girl she was. If only she was real. These two things constantly ran through his mind, but were quickly admonished as he remembered his some what girlfriend Hilde. Technically they weren't together, in fact him and Hiiro had been more together than they were, but still. A quick glance to his watch pushed those thoughts from his mind filling his head with thoughts of, 'Oh fuck I'm going to be late.'
"Dammit! I knew I shouldn't have started to work on that." The chestnut haired boy ripped his pajamas off and threw on the school issued uniform for the academy he was currently attending. His braid snapped behind him as he darted from the hangar. Lucky for him all the strength and stealth training had allowed him to sneak into the class room unnoticed. Class was already in session and droning on pointlessly. He sighed trying to stay awake. His near nap was interrupted by Hilde poking him in the back and inconspicuously stuffing a note into his uniform collar. He snapped awake snatching the note like he was scratching his back. He smiled to himself praising his stealth. His cobalt eye skimmed over the curled scrawls nearly popping out of his head when he read the contents. "Dance?" Of course his little escapade had made him completely forget about the spring mixer his academy was having. The little activity was used to try to get the neighboring schools to interact with eachother. Hilde's reminder that he was going to take her distressed him slightly. As sociable as he was, he just didn't like the attention that some of the more bimbo girls paid him. Yeah he acted like a shameless flirt and a funny man, but sometimes he just wasn't in the mood to get dragged around by the popular cliques of the school. He sighed and nodded. He hoped for some sort of situation or mission that could get him out of this trivial matter.
The chestnut haired boy frowned as he remembered that he didn't grab any money in his rush to leave, so that left him to another tedious day of school work without a meal. Another sigh escaped his pouty lips. He really had no desire to be here. He settled back against a tree for a nice nap between his last class and next class. Amaryllis eyes closed softly long lashes resting against his cheeks. If one didn't know better they would've thought him a girl. He faded into a nice REM cycle recalling images from the previous night.
Classes passed quickly and soon evening came and with it came the dreaded mixer he was to attend with Hilde. Duo didn't have a suit to his name so he wore his school uniform sans tie. The tie was pointless and like a miniature noose. He sighed in light annoyance as Hilde dragged him onto the floor determined to get him to dance. The place was boring, not at all like the night clubs he'd frequented much to the disapproval of the wing pilot. What was even worse was that since the school was somewhat of a military academy there were off duty soldiers about. Duo groaned inwardly at his predicament. He looked nervously down at his dance partner and sighed trying to hide his discomfort. Hilde smiled widely at him crystal blue eyes shining. Duo would've fell in love with her if lovely visions of pruple weren't haunting his eyes. He closed his eyes to mentally paint a picture of the princess. He sighed and looked back down at Hilde. He just wasn't into it. Quietly he excused himself and sat down feeling tired. His eyes started to drift closed the music painting euphoric pictures in his head. Hilde watched him a frown marring her normally cute features. Obviously she didn't quite understand that Duo was tired.
Her deep amethyst pools gazed at him scrutinizingly. He could not tear away from the depths of her eyes. Duo was drowning in them. A soft voice, like tinkling bells whispered to him. Then, he felt the brush of a cool silky hand on his cheeks. The soft hand grasped his and pulled him up gracefully.
His eyes snapped open when he felt somebody tap his shoulder. "Shinigami-san?" he started at the name and the softness of the voice which said it. "I knew it was you."
Duo turned to respond, but met a pair of deep violet eyes that he instantly recognized. "Princess?"
"It's Hotaru, and I have some very important news for you. I need yo uto pass it on to your commrades as well. Okay?" She took his hand and lead him into a dance. "It would look suspicious if I just stood there." she answered to an unasked question.
"So what's on your mind Hotaru?" He asked quietly into her ear as she danced closely. His heart was rabbiting as he felt her body moulded to his in a slow dance. He could almost feel her gasp in surprise to his soft words.
"Setsuna says that she feels a disturbance with the negative forces. She feels that the vibrations are being caused by what you know as dolls." She continued softly so no one except Duo could hear. "Here they are controlled by computer, but Mercury says that she ran a test and found a "virus" in the computer. This "virus" is actually a negative structure waiting to awaken. While it lies dormant now, it is still controlling these doll machines and is very close to awakening to wreak havoc on your world and ultimately ours as well." Her last sentence was slipped quietly against his ear and most definately sent tingles through him. "We are begging for help, we need you."
Duo spun her gracefully for the first time noticing the deep purple satin dress she wore. "You have me for as long as you need." A sultry smile crossed his face as she blushed at the comment.
