Disclaimer - Me? Own Gundam Wing? Its been on my Christmas list for the
last four years, but Santa and I had a little disagreement over the colour
of my dissect-a-Relena kit, so I doubt if it's going to happen .. Oh well!

Thank you
Diamond dew - No, I wouldn't expect any less from me either *wink wink nudge nudge* I don't like bashing her about too much but I still find it entertaining. I hope you enjoy this chappie and sorry it took so long!!
CSMars -- *cheesy smirk* that is true and it certainly wont be his last dose!!!
The Libran Inequity - I don't know what Relena was thinking, it was funny idea tho!! Please keep reading!!!
A/N, Mainly focusing on Trowa and Quatre. I hope this chapter turns out well, it will be a challenge to write as in my opinion Trowas POV is not my strong point and this chapter will entail some use of Trowas POV. This chapter comes into play after Duo has left Quatre with Trowa.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
The tall, green eyed, uni-banged mortal looked at the person in his arms, he looked young, but as far as vampires went looks were most definitely deceiving. This one could be thousands of years old!
He had never known his family, he had been alone as long as he could remember and had never wanted company. But now, it was weird; he wanted to keep this person safe, protect him from whatever was making him sick. Carefully the tall youth turned and carried the unconscious blonde vampire into his house.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
A glance over to the bed confirmed that the blonde vampire still hadn't stirred. It had been two hours since that braided vampire had placed him in his care.
The brunette looked around his house and sighed, it was small, only two rooms and very dark for he only had one lamp, he wouldn't have been able to afford the oil for more than that. The blonde stranger was in the bed, so he had seated himself at on the wooden bench that was placed by his wooden table.
= What ever will he think of it =
Hang on, where did that come from?
=You don't want people to be ashamed of how you live, that's why you never let anyone near you=
"No, Why would I care, I have no reason to care! God! I don't have to answer to myself!"
= Fine by me. =
He shook his head; this is too strange for me. And wandered across to where the blonde vampire was still motionless in the bed.
"What happened to you little one, why do you hurt?"
Little one, where did that come from, not that it really matters.
The uni-banged man reached out and wiped the silky blonde bangs off of the pale forehead,
Hot, very hot. He is in more danger than I thought, he has a fever.
The brunette moved across the small room to a jug that was half filled with water but found no cloth. Sighing he ripped a strip off of the arm of his sleeve and dipped it into the jug. Carefully his squeezed most of the water out again before making his way back over to the feverish blonde and laying the dampened fabric on his pale forehead.
The mortal carefully checked on his blonde guest every ten minutes or so, re-soaking the cloth each time until the fever finally broke, and the vampire awoke.
"Wh-Where am I?" a gentle tenor voice asked, startling the brunette from where he had been cooling the cloth.
He dropped the piece of fabric on the floor and hurried over to the bedside, he couldn't explain why, but he wanted to make sure that the blonde vampire was all right.
"Are you all right little one?" He asked and he knelt on the floor close to the blonde, who nodded and smiled, albeit weakly. The pet name seemed so right it practically went unnoticed. "Tell me your name."
"My name is Quatre, what is yours?"
"My name matters not." Quatre nodded, a sad small smile graced his rose lips. Mortals were cautious.
Letting his curiosity get the better of him the mortal asked, "What makes you ill little one? Why do you suffer?"
Quatre glanced up at his hosts face and found himself starring into a single emerald eye. "I am cursed." He mumbled.
"How so?"
"I was not born a vampire, I was the son of a fairly well off mortal lord, I was sent here to begin tuition in the empathic arts, a subject in which I showed much promise, under the tuition of professor Othra. I was forced into the transformation and that is what causes me to be weakened. My soul, my very sense of what is right is being destroyed, eaten away, and I shall be forced to succumb to it unless I find the missing half of my soul, my soul mate. Though the chances of that are over a million to one against me. My now best friend Duo, tried to stop the ones who transformed me, he and another vampire named Solo. Solo lost his life but Duo took me into his care and helped me to accept what I had become, he has tried to ease my suffering and slow the progression of the destruction, but he can not stop it, and eventually I will become a mindless killer, a servant to the Akumai.
The brunette was shocked, "How old were you? When they .. Forced this cursed life upon you?"
"I was seventeen, how many years have you ?"
"Twenty and one." Was the reply, "now you should try to sleep, I managed to break the fever but I can not cure exhaustion!"
Quatre smiled and lay back against the pillows and appeared to fall almost at once into a deep sleep.
The green eyed man sat and leant back against the wall, allowing his gaze to rest on the still figure of the blonde vampire.
~*~*~*~*~ Mortal (Trowa, in case you hadn't guessed) POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
What is this, why do I keep him here, I have never provided sanctuary before, not since her, Catherine, my sister. So why now? Why today, why him?
What is it about him that makes it seem right to have him close to me, I have never wanted company before, but I fear his leaving, I fear it will leave me empty. I fear being alone.
He seems different, I have grown up fearing Vampires and their ways, ever since they stole my sister from me. But with him I am not afraid, in fact it almost feels as though a part of me that has been missing has finally returned.
I cannot explain this feeling, it is unknown to me, and in a world such as the one we have today, the unknown is best left well alone.
He sleeps for now, and I do not wish to wake him.
Trowa stood and took the oil lamp from its bracket on the wall and carried it out of the room and into the adjoining one, plunging the room where Quatre lay, awake, into a strange kind of murky darkness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~Quatres POV~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
He has been watching me, I feign sleep, for a strange reason I do not wish him to know that I know he is there.
This is the first time in almost half a century that I have felt safe, unthreatened. For some un-explainable reason, he makes me feel safe. I can feel his eyes on me, I can also feel his pain, he has suffered much, and he feels confused, because of me.
The room goes dark and I hear the door close. I glance over, I tight knot of worry clenching in my stomach. I'm alone, and I don't like it. It is not as if I have been part of a group all my life. For years now my only companion has been Duo, and we have had time apart. I can't work out why I feel so alone now.
A glance towards the door reveals a slit of light, I feel comforted, I am not alone, he hasn't left me. But why do I care, why should I? In the midst of my confusion I fall at last, into a deep sleep.
I wish I knew his name
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Quatre felt a hand brushing some hair off his face and a familiar voice talking too him.
"Quat, c'mon buddy! We gotta leave before we get anyone in trouble!"
Quatre opened his eyes and looked up into the face of his braided friend, taking in the bruises on his cheeks and the small cuts around his eyes, nose and mouth. " What happened Duo, you're a mess, they didn't catch up to you did they? Do they hurt?!"
"What these?" Duo asked , gesturing at the cuts and bruises on his face, "No, they don't hurt, the Akumai caught me, but that's not the strangest thing!"
Quatre grinned and sat up. "Stranger than Shinigami being caught? It must be unusual!"
"Hey, no jokes Quat!" Duo said with a rare frown, "Its lucky for me I'm still alive, hadn't you noticed that. Did you ever hear of a Denarin escaping from an Akumai hunt before?"
Quatre chewed at his lip, "well now you come to mention it, no, Duo, how did you get away?"
Duo grinned, "You wont believe me, but the I was set free, by Heero Yuy, the future Akumai prince!"
Quatre simply starred, "Let you go, they actually let you go, but why Duo, why?"
Duo shrugged, I have no idea buddy, I honestly don't! Now we really must leave before we cause our kind friend any trouble."
Quatre felt a tug in his heart at the thought of leaving tall, quiet mortal, but pushed it aside upon realising the truth in Duos words that their staying may cause the green eyed man trouble. He didn't want that.
Together the two Denarin made their way towards the door where the green eyed mortal stood waiting. He glanced up at the two. "I will accompany you for a way, I need to go out any way!"
=Liar!=
Oh shut up!
When they reached the corner of a nearby street, Keren Avenue, that lead to one of the Denarin lodgings Duo grinned and held out a hand to the mortal,
"At the moment I can't think of any way to thank you buddy, all I can say is I hope that at some point we will be able to return the favour."
Trowa shook the braided vampires hand, nodded at Quatre and turned back down the street. But Quatre wasn't going to let it finish there, so he yelled after the retreating back of the mortal,
"Please tell me your name, we can not pay you back if we do not know of your name!"
The mortal paused and turned his bright green eye on the blonde vampire. "I have no name!" He said as he began walking again.
"No, name? Then I shall call you Trowa." Quatre said out loud, to himself before turning and following Duo into the Denarin lodging.
