"Nothing!  There's nothing on him anywhere!" Sally Po cried out frustrated.  Une hovered over her shoulder as Sally searched through a list of everyone who had a birth certificate that was open only for special cases and never failed to find a person.

"That's impossible!" Une said frustrated.  The four Gundam pilots sat outside the door waiting impatiently for news.  "Get me Noine and Zechs!" Une shouted angrily into the intercom and the Gundam pilots started having heard it resound loudly through the speakers and through the door.

"What's going on in there?" Duo asked angrily.

"I could have heard her even if she hadn't used the intercom!" Zechs said angrily as he rounded the corner.

"What took you so long?" Duo said angrily his temper having long since gotten out of hand.

"What took me…?  I got here extremely fast for your information!  By the way where's Heero?" Zechs asked and Duo gave a scream of outrage and stalked off angrily making sure to bump Zechs on his way past.

"Don't mind him… he's just on edge," Quatre apologized.

"Whatever," Zechs said and entered the room.

'Heero… Why must you always be the hero?" Duo screamed angrily in his mind as tears burned his eyes and threatened to spill over, 'where are you?'

Heero opened his eyes to find himself staring at a blank stone wall.  He blinked a couple more times to make sure what he was seeing was correct then took a quick glance around the room soaking in every detail the way his training as an assassin had taught him.  There were three wooden doors on the walls to either side and behind him and fiery torches gave light to the room, otherwise the room was empty besides him.

"My lord?" a petite voice startled Heero out of his thoughts and he turned to see a woman that he hadn't seen before.  She was brown hair the color of the wooden doors and wore a blank gray dress that blended into the stones around her.  Heero couldn't discern what color her eyes were since they were narrowed.

"Hn," he grunted to show that he had heard her.

"The master wishes your presence… please follow me," she said and swiftly opened a door and glided through.  He took a mental note of which door she used and followed her through.  He tried to mark specific details of each hallway so he could find his way on his own but he quickly discovered that all of the hallways were exactly the same, so instead he marked turns and doors used.  The woman stopped before a larger set of doors, they opened for her and she indicated that he was to go through first.  This corridor was by far the largest and most decorated as the walls were designed by draperies that depicted terrible battles, and lovers.  In the center was a long wooden table that had only three chairs, one on each end and one right beside the one at the head of the table.  A roaring fire burned in the fire on the left, but what truly caught his attention was the man sitting on a dais on a stone throne.

"That's rather presumptuous," Heero said indicating with his eyes the throne beneath the man.

"No, I rule over all in this castle," he said with a small smile.

"If it is just three that's not impressive," Heero said, his face emotionless.

"Oh, there's far more, come here," he said and beckoned to Heero.  He crossed the distance to the dais warily, taking his time to measure up his chances on defeating the man then and there, they were very high from what he saw, however he had no idea on what the man was capable of.  The man rose and descended off the throne to meet Heero at the base of the dais.  "Ah… yes… this is what I've been waiting for," he whispered hungrily startling Heero.

"What's that," Heero asked as the man began to circle him like a vulture.  He kept his face expressionless even as the man's gaze sent chills up his spine.  Heero couldn't stand this and timing it swung a perfectly aimed punch at the man's face.  His fist brushed through the air where the man's face had been and glanced around quickly and warily.  The only person he saw was the woman.  Suddenly the man appeared right in front of him and Heero stumbled a few steps back.

"That was being naughty, I suppose I'll have to discipline my new pet," he said in a low purr and Heero suddenly screamed as electric pulses seared through his veins, he stumbled back and got into a defensive position only to have another wave of pain wrack his body.  He fell to the floor exhausted his body twitching with the shocks that still ran through his body.  He opened his mouth to say something but coughed up blood instead.  It formed a small thick pool beneath his head causing him to be unable to lay his head back down.  The woman glanced up and gave her master's new 'pet' a sympathetic look then dropped her gaze once more.

"What…" he choked out but the man bent down and laid a long pale finger on Heero's bloody lips.

"My new pet must be tired from all that has happened today… Roku!  Come here!" the man called and the woman glided over.

"This is Roku, she'll be your servant, if you need her all you have to do is call her name and she'll come.  Roku, take him to his room," he commanded and returned to his throne.  The woman helped Heero slowly get to his feet and through another set of large doors.

"Are you alright?" she asked in a quiet voice.  Heero glanced up at her and then back down once more.  Roku wished she could assure him that everything was alright, and that things would get better soon but she new that it would only get worse and she wondered sorrowfully if the boy had enough emotional strength to last more than a few days.
