Chapter 2

Duo layed in the almost freezing water.

His spidery fingers were stiff with the cold. But even in their stiffened state, they managed to reach up and pulled out the elastic holding his hair in a braid. Gently combing out the soft strands of hair, that his was pretty sure was as cold as is fingers.

His black clothes- yes, always black. A nun had once told him that a soul was like a white table top. Every time you sinned, it would leave a black smudge upon it's pristine surface. His sins didn't leave any white visible- weighed heavily on his lithe frame.

What if you were forced to sin?

But, then again, what if you liked the sins that you were forced to do?

Is indigo eyes tried to focus on the water slowly dripping out of the tap, all the while his mind wandering to the sad, little african babies, sitting there without food, health, or clothing.

He wanted to dance and paint the stars. Even if he had no talent, people would smile politely and clap softly.

I was the right thing to do in the socity he was shoved- very rudely, mind you- into.

He couldn't keep the same thoughts in his pretty little head for more than a minute.

Yes, he openly admitted that he was beautiful.

His pixie like face and body turned many heads.

Both male and female.

He was good at seducing people. It was part of his job.

Not like any of the others new that, of course....

Hiiro was good at pointing the gun and getting the information.

Duo was okay at that too, but he was better at the other...artful ways of getting it.

He slowly relaxed his body, causing him to sink farther.

Why the hell do I always end up under water when I'm doing some serious thinking?'

The tip of his slighty upturned nose broke the wavy surface of the water first.

His hair pooled all around him.

His perfect hair.

Making him look even more like a woman. Not that he minded.

As he had said...er...thought before, he took much pride in his appearance.

So what if he was a little vain?

He deserved all the beauty the world could offer. The world owed him ten times over.

Was vanity a sin? Well, when he got to hell, maybe he could be the devils whore or something.

All this self pity was making him sick.

Duo, climbed out of the tub sluggishly, stumbling often, on his way to the bathroom window. Looking out from behind his eyelashes, over Quatre's estate.

His gaze flickered to two figures, there shadows stretched far behind them.

Relena......and Hiiro.

His brows furrowed.

He held her. Was it the moon, or did she really make his cold hard eyes sparkle like that? Why...why couldn't he make the corners of the boys mouth rise...even just ever so slightly?

Would he make my toes curl if he held me?' He though, tiredly eyeing Relena's danty feet.

Suddenly he had to be sick.

The room swayed as he fell.

No one, would help him.

I kinda reminded him of the feeling he would get in the slums on L2.

The youth choked on a sob coming up his throat, curling into a fetus position.

Nothing digusts me more than a weak nothing.'

SHUT the FUCK up! Squeezing his eyes shut, he imagened fire, princesses, little chinese restrants, and boys that were scared and alone in the dark.

Hmmm, no....don't think I will.'

Why the FUCK are you in my FUCKING HEAD! GET OUT! GET OUT! He cried out, his voice cracking with the tears that were almost there.

A sigh, coming from all directions, but really came from the middled mind of the young lonely boy on the floor, was heard.

You know as well as I do, that can't happen. You must learn Duo-chan, (the name was spoken with affection Duo had sadly never had the privlage of hearing) it will all be for the better...you'll see'

I...nng....don't........want you....in my head......anymore Duo whispered, brokenly.

I can be outside as well as in...I'll be your friend if you like.'

You...were being such...a bastard before.

I know.' the voice was covered in amusment.



Someone seemed to be stroking Duo's dripping hair...but, at the same time, there was a feeling of...strong...emptiness. Or, emptiness wasn't the right word for it, it was more like the feeling of gaining something...but at the same time, losing the same thing.

There there, pet Duo went rigid. The...voice in his head...was right beside him.

Don't worry, I'm not really here...its more of an example of your own craziness.' Insane giggling followed.

W-what......do I HAVE to do too get RID of you! He growled from deep in his chest.

Well, to ALL questions there lies a VERY complex answer...'



Hurt others, or yourself'
