Intruder at the Gates
Chapter 2
"You're the real Shinigami?" Setsuna said, turning from the dead youma to Duo, who grinned back sheepishly, laughing nervously.
"I may run and hide but I'll never tell a lie!" He said overly chipper. His eyes then turned to the ground and he shuffled his foot over the mist, causing it to swirl apart. "Well... err, technically... I was." He then muttered. Duo expected laughter, but instead a cool soft hand touched his cheek. Placing his hand on Setsuna's her looked up into her soft crystalline eyes.
"Your turn." She said softly, her eyes glistening as violet eye saw violet eye. Duo laughed bitterly, his expression turning grim.
"Well... it's kinda... painful." He said. The joy in his voice was gone. Setsuna smile gently, understanding. She pulled her hand away from his cheek, her finger tips stroking his soft skin as they left. Duo then took her hand back and replaced it back onto his cheek.
"Alright, I'll tell, but only if you keep your hand there." He said quietly.
"Duo, I'm not going to make you talk about something that hurts you. I'd rather see you smile and laugh."
"But you told me your memories. I want to share mine with you."
Setsuna and Duo sat together on the ground, their backs against the Time Gates. Duo put his arm around her, pulling her close as Setsuna rested her head beneath his chin, listening to the steady beat of his heart. She raised her hand and stroked Duo's cheek.
"I used to be Shinigami... then after an incident I was banished from Hell-can ya believe that one?-to live a mortal life. Except, as a cruel hindrance, the new master of Hell had me keep my powers of death and immortality; I just didn't keep the job the powers came with. At first I couldn't touch anyone because any contact with anyone would kill the person instantly. Even plants shriveled under my touch. I can't begin to tell you how many centuries it took for me to regain control of over my "touch of Death" it became known as."
............................................................................ ....................................................................
"Master Shinigami, what ails you? You've been so... depressed lately. It's very unusual for you; you always seemed to take such joy in the torture of others. Has their eternal suffering lost its humor?" A small Cherub said as he stood next Duo's throne. Yawning, Duo stretched his arms and leather wings.
"Yes Lucifer, everything is so... empty. All humans are going die, it doesn't matter what they become or what they do with their lives. Nothing can make them immortal, their lives are meaningless; why wake up to such a pitiful existence day after day? And you'd think death would be the final comfort, that after living such a painful and long life; death would come and be a final rest, the end to one's suffering. But no, there is an afterlife; you have to keep living, either in bliss or extreme and endless torture. The afterlife seems so... cruel." Duo said, not giving Lucifer the Cherub any time to answer the rhetorical questions. The Cherub seemed uncomfortable listening to his Master's supposedly missing heart. Lucifer was about leave, but Duo spoke again:
"I think I shall go up to the mortal realm; walking amongst them always makes me smile."
"Yes Master Shinigami, but they only make you smile because you already know of their painful and untimely deaths; The Heavens always get so mad when you tell the humans their fates. It spoils the surprise y' know." The Cherub grunted. Duo sighed.
"Even so..." Duo said, his shoulders sagging. His wings disappearing, Duo faded into the mortal realm.
The sun shining its brightest on a summer blue sky, Duo squinted and smile. It was a lot cooler in this world, yet he could still feel the warm sun light on his body. Walking to his favorite spot, a park bench, Duo sat and just watched the people walk by, going about their lives. Living. It was such a contrast to death. Time passed by as Duo sat, enjoying the life. He didn't notice when a young woman came up and sat next to him. She sat silently for a moment, searching for what ever Duo was looking at. She had been observing him for a while behind a tree, trying to figure out what ever he was doing. Tiring of sitting back and watching, the woman decided to take action. Fed up with the silence, she spoke.
"Hi. Whatcha doin'?" Her voice was young and sugary, full of curiosity and life. She snapped Duo out of his trance. He glanced didn't move.
"I'm watching everyone live their lives." Duo said simply. And such a simple sentence aroused more curiosity in her.
"Why? Don't you have or work or something? I mean, you have a life too, don't you?" She asked. Duo laughed bitterly, reclining in his seat.
"I don't live here, and I'm on a vacation from my job. And I watch them... because they are all sheep; just going through the motions of life, only to die. It doesn't matter what they achieve, they're still goin to die. I used to jest at them, but now it only makes me feel empty. I'm here to recover what ever I'm missing." Duo then turned to her, looking at her for the first time. "What's your name?"
"Hilde, Hilde Schbeiker. And yours?" She asked, her voice almost as chipper as Duo's used to be. He smiled lightly, not to sure he really wanted to talk to anyone. Solitude was never his favorite thing, but sometimes it was pleasant.
"Name's Duo Maxwell. Pleasure to meet ya." He said, finally deciding company was in order. "I mean, I don't have too many friends in Hell after all." He thought. She smiled at him and laughed, quickly standing up. Hilde grabbed Duo's hand and jerked him to his feet. Duo was unbalanced at first, but in a moment of saving grace he righted himself instead of falling on Hilde.
"C'mon! I'm hungry, let's grab something to eat!" Her bubbly voice sang out. Duo smiled, laughing. "Am I smiling? I was so depressed moments ago..." He thought as he followed Hilde...
............................................................................ ....................................................................
"For a week I hung around Hilde, hung around Earth. Her smile made all the dark and depth of Hell lessen; soon I found myself falling in love with her. After my week with her, I had to return to my duties as Shinigami. Every chance I got I went up and visited her. The last night I stayed with her... when I awoke and saw her body cuddled up to mine underneath silk sheets, I knew I had found the reason people lived. Later that day I returned to Hell, and I can't compare the pain I felt then to anything now...
............................................................................ ....................................................................
Duo sat on his throne reviewing the list of souls he was to condemn. A line of ghostly figures stood before him, awaiting the price of their sins. Duo's eyes scanned to the next name on his list, and the name his eyes found froze his blood. He looked up from his list to see Hilde at the front of the line of souls. She looked confused, frightened and bewildered. When she saw Duo her eyes widened and brimmed with tears.
Duo leaped from his throne and down to Hilde, throwing his arms around her. Hilde began to cry hysterically.
"I don't know what's going on Duo! I was in my Taurus suit one moment, now I'm here, everything hurts, Duo, am I dead? Duo, help me!" She cried. Hilde then saw his Demon wings and backed away, even more bewildered than before. Duo eyes were wide. No. Not his love. Not his reason for living. She wasn't going to suffer in Hell. Duo then tightened his grip on her and disappeared, away and out of Hell.
When Hilde opened her eyes, she was laying in the arms of Duo, her smoldering Taurus suit next to her. Duo's eyes shimmered down at her.
"Duo...?" she began. Duo laughed his bitter laugh.
"Eh... sorry about that... I suppose I should explain this to you, hm?" He said. The two stood up and left the battle scene. They went to the security of Hilde's apartment, were for a moment there wasn't anything going on. Duo stood by the door, tense. Hilde collapsed onto the floor when they entered, to confused to do anything else.
"Duo... was I dead?"
Duo bit his lip. "Yes... I guess you were meant to die in that battle... but I can't let you die... I can't let you go to hell... I won't be able to stay here long, I'll have to explain myself to the Heavens... but I won't let that happen to you, love. Please, stay here." He said, his voice soft.
"Wha-? Why?" She asked as Duo opened the door to leave. He turned back to her and smiled.
"Because I love you, Hilde." He said, then left, shutting the door behind himself. Hilde then jumped to her feet and ran to the door, flinging it open. No one was there...
............................................................................ ....................................................................
"After I left, I was taken to the heavens to explain my actions..." Duo said to Setsuna, who listened raptly.
............................................................................ ....................................................................
Duo stood in a blinding light. He wasn't sure what ground was beneath him; he felt none. There were no walls, ceiling, or anything; just blinding light. Trying to shield his eyes form the light, Duo raised his arm in front of his eyes. A powerful deep voice then spoke:
"Shinigami: Explain yourself now!" It echoed. Duo winced, knowing he had acted rashly.
"Heavens... I can't bear to see Hilde Schbeiker dead, let alone in Hell-"
"Why?" The Heavens said, cutting Duo off and getting straight to the point. Duo was at a loss for words at first, but thinking of Hilde Duo could find them.
"I love her; I cannot bear to see her suffering, Heavens." After Duo gave his explanation, the Heavens roared with a deep laughter. A mocking laughter.
"So are you going to make her suffer through Immortality? Are you going to force her to live your life? Immortal and hollow?" The Heavens taunted. A tear slipped down Duo's cheek. He had no words to defend the Heavens' allegations. Nothing to back him up, except for his love...
............................................................................ ....................................................................
"Hilde...?" Duo voice said softly. Hilde quickly stood up and turned around, her eyes rejoicing to see Duo. Then, immediately she noticed Duo's eyes were somber; he looked pale and despairing.
"Duo, what's wrong?"
"I talked to the Heavens... I bargained with them... I'm so sorry, Hilde, I cannot spare your life... but... You aren't going to Hell. Heaven awaits you, my love." He said, not looking her in the eye. Hilde then ran forward and threw her arms around Duo, crying. Duo pulled away from her.
"How can you love me... knowing I'm Shinigami? That I'm Death?" He said, his voice sounded agonized. She smiled lightly, wiping tears away.
"I don't care who you are, or what you've done; I love you Duo, even if you are Death." She said, putting her arms around him again. Her hands then were coated in blood that was dripping down Duo's back. Her eyes looked up at him.
"Duo, Wha-"
"I am no longer Shinigami; the Heavens cut off my wings and I have been stripped of my position. Hilde, I am so sorry, I-"
Hilde then cut him off. "Shhhh. Duo, I love you, für immer und ewerkeit..." She whispered to him in her native tongue. Her body then faded, taking her soul to Heaven. Duo stiffened in her apartment, alone. Tears streaked down his face...
............................................................................ ....................................................................
Duo covered his eyes with his hand as Setsuna leaned against him. Duo stifled his cries and covered his tears. Setsuna put her arms around Duo, unable to find anything to say to comfort him. Duo then pulled his hand away from his face and looked down at her, eyes still wet with tears.
"I'm sorry..." Setsuna whispered, not meeting his gaze. Duo gave out a weak laugh.
"It's alright, it's long since passed. Love lost, love gone. I've gotten over it, though I still suppose it stings like an open wound. You know?" He said, drying his face with his sleeve, smiling again. Setsuna nodded, remembering Danath. Love lost, love gone.
"So what did you do with after being banished from Hell?" Setsuna asked. Duo laughed again, though this time his laughter was joyful. It was just like Duo.
"I joined the war and met my four friends. We live in a safe house with huge mechas; Gundams, we call em'. The war is over now, so we're like directionless college students with nothing to do but random odd jobs. It's a fun life; I'd like you to meet them." He said, standing up and pulling Setsuna to her feet. "Now, I have one last question for you; albeit slightly off topic, but we can deal, I'm sure. When you were telling me your memories, you mentioned something: You said something like, "I kept Pluto distant from the Moon's tidings". What did that mean?"
Setsuna smile lightly. "When I was born the mark of Pluto glowed on my forehead; the people of Pluto mistook the symbol of the Senshi for the symbol of royalty. Then Queen Selenity came forth with her information of the Senshi and they began training me for my duty as planet guardian instead. That's how I met Danath, actually." She said smiling more brightly, looking into Duo's eyes as she spoke. "Now, what did you mean by, "I'd like you to meet them"?" She asked.
"Just what I said. I want you to meet my friends; explore my world and the things I know." He said, wrapping his arms around her waist...
A.N.: Hello all! Wow, you guys seemed to like this huh? Yeah, for the most part you guys did. You guys who said you didn't like some of the decisions I had Setsuna make, like sleeping with Mamarou, or sleeping at the gates, you need to think outside the box here. Yes, normally Setsuna would never do those things, but she never had anyone to tempt her before either. And yeah, Endymion wasn't punished; yeah, that's unfair, but that's a part of life. Good happens to bad people, bad happens to good people. It's unjust and unfair, but some people get away with murder, and others don't. YOU GUYS GOTTA THINK OUTSIDE THE BOX. So there.
