The prophecy
Part 9
"Aaaggg. Did someone get the number of the mobile suit that just ran me over?' Duo growled as consciousness soon approached him.
"No suit. Just me! About time you woke up!" a melodious tenor voice rang through the room. Duo groaned as he sat up and reoriented himself with his surroundings. Looking around he noticed he was back in the hotel suite. A strange, yet familiar man sat at the table across from him, staring at him. Continuing his visual sweep of the suite, he spotted Heero sprawled out on the floor; face first, with white feather wings protruding from his back.
/WAIT A MINUTE! Heero has wings? Hey, why does my back feel so weird?/ he thought. Peering over his shoulder he saw his own set of black, bat like wings sprouting from his back. Suddenly realization hit him like gundamium as he blankly stared as the man sitting at the table.
"Oni-chan?"
"Thank god you remember! You were really starting to worry me."
Just then, a moan echoed through the room as Heero gained consciousness. Duo ran over to his lover to check on him, placing his head on his lap. Eyes snapped open to reveal intense and slightly confused pools of cobalt blue.
"Hey Hee-chan"
"Duo, deja bu ka?"
"Aaa"
"Ahem!"
The couple simultaneously turned around towards the source, the only other occupant in the room.
"Sorry to interrupt this moment but we have pressing matters to attend to. But your probably dying for some answers right now."
Duo rolled his eyes at his brother while Heero blankly stared.
"Oni-chan. Remind me to kill you when this is done cause I'm pissed! So start you taking now!!" Duo demanded.
"Ok Shini-chan! You were always so amusing. From the beginning?...hmmm... Ok! Do you believe in angel and beings beyond this world?'
"Sorta"
"Hn"
"Anyways. There are two planes or dimensions above this plane. This plane, the mortal plane, is at the bottom of the chain. The plane above this one is the plane of Heaven and Hell. The plane above that is the spirit plane, which is the highest. When you die on the mortal plane, your spirit goes to the realm above on either heaven or hell. When you die in that plane, you get reincarnated in the mortal realm and-"
"Hold on! That makes no sense. We die here to go to the realm above. Die there and you come back here! So how do ya get to the spirit realm?' Duo interrupted.
"I'm getting there my impatient Shinigami! To get to the spirit realm is very hard. Only spirits that have gone through all aspects of life with a pure heart can enter through."
"Oni-chan, what do you mean all aspects of life?"
"Well that means that your spirit has lived as every living creature in the mortal plane." Tenshi explained.
"Nani?!?"
"Yup! You've been everything on this earth. The human form is the final form and it's the form spirits take to the heaven and hell realm or the spirit realm."
"Cool"
"That's one way to put it Shini-chan. So are you guys clear about the different realms?' Tenshi asked, hoping that he wouldn't have to explain himself again.
"Yup"
"Hn"
'"That's a relief! Well, I might as well reveal your identities." Tenshi mumbled to himself. His eyes sought out Duo and stared.
"Well, Duo Yuy-Maxwell. Pilot 02, Gundam Deathscythe hell and the self proclaimed Shinigami, how's mortal life?"
"Nani?"
"You see Duo, you were always what you proclaimed to be. You are Shinigami, the God of Death and Heero was always was you thought, an angel."
"Really?"
"Hai Shini-chan. You're the God of the underworld, ruler of the dark army and all of Hell and my baby brother. Heero here is an angel of Heaven, the commanding officer of the white army and my new brother- in- law," shifting his gaze " If you hurt Shini-chan in anyway… Omake o Kurosu!" Tenshi warned.
"Oni-chan," Duo growled
"What!? You're my baby brother! I love ya to death and I done want to see you hurt again. Watching you die the first time was bad enough. I just don't want to see that happen again."
"Die…again?"
"Hai that, dream you guys had while you were knocked out was actually a little piece of your lives together, before you guys came into the mortal realm."
"Ok, what I don't get is how we both came to this realm. The last thing I remember was that we were in the battlefield, me holding a dying Heero and a bright flash of violet light. What does it all mean?" Duo asked
"Hmmm. You see Shinigami, you have special talents that set you apart from the other gods and angels. As the God of Death you have extraordinary powers. A lot these powers come in handy when blowing shit up or protecting yourself, you know, all the stuff that a good Shinigami needs. However, you also possess a power that sharply contrasts your title, the power of rebirth. You didn't use it very much since it would create a bad reputation for the God of Death to reincarnate people to the mortal realm. That flash of violet light you remember was when you used your power of rebirth to reincarnate yourself and Heero to this plane." Tenshi explained.
Seeing the slightly confused and shocked looks of the two ex-soldiers, Tenshi decided to help speed up their memory. Blowing blue dust on top of the couple on the floor, memories of a past life return as Heero and Duo glowed their respective colours. Once the glow receded the couple got off the floor and stretched aching limbs.
"I remember everything now. My kingdom, my rule, my people, my powers, my kibito and that baka Heavenly council!" Duo ranted.
"Hey! I'm on that 'baka' Heavenly council!" Tenshi interrupted.
"Gomen, it's just that they piss me off! Telling ME that I can't see my Heero! Where do they get off telling Shinigami what to do and -"
"Shini-chan's back to his normal self again! And his mouth is pumped and ready to go!" Tenshi teased. One hard tug of the long chestnut hair from his lover shut Duo up quickly.
"You guys might want to conceal your wings, people might notice."
With a nod, the couple glowed their respective colors as they folded their wings and concealed them. Concentrating a little more, Duo materialized some clothes while Heero made a trip to the closet. Duo was now dressed in loose fitting black slacks with a red shirt and a long black trench coat. Heero emerged from the closet in faded blue jeans, a green tank top and a short faded jean jacket.
"Much better"
"Hn"
"Well, I'll leave you two lovebirds for now. There's just one thing you guys have to remember. Be careful. Word of your consummation has reached the realm above and a lot of people are now hunting you down. Many people didn't want the prophecy to come true and now that is has, who knows how people will react. I'll try to sort things out above but no guarantees."
"Don't worry Oni-chan, we know how to take care of ourselves."
"Just be careful. I'll be in touch, you know how to reach me Shini-chan. Ja!" A bright white light flashed where Tenshi was sitting.
"Come Hee-chan, we'll need the others help." Duo pulled out a cell phone while Heero grabbed the keys, as they both walked out of their suite.
Unknown to the couple, a black bird was perched on the window cell like the night before, listening. Suddenly, the bird vanished in a flash of black light.
