Chapter 2: The bridge and Heero.

~~~~~

"Why don't you come with me?"

Duo's head snapped up from it's depressed slump only to find his vision blocked by the sight of two deep prussian blue eye's that belonged to none other that the teen he'd met on the bridge. By then Duo knew he was gaping, his mouth was hanging open and his eye's where wide. He forced his mouth to shut with a snap and began to blink dumbly as if he was only just waking up. "Shit you scared me." He said eventually, his normal silly grin finding it's way on to his face.

The other teen's eye's twinkled with hidden mirth but his face stayed blank. "Hey buddy, do you know why I'm see through?" Duo asked. Heero nodded, "Hai, you are like this because you need to eat the food of the spirits or you will disappear like the others and you won't have a chance to save you parents," He noted the uncertain look that had come across Duo's elfin features. "and don't worry, you won't turn into a pig." He took a red pill out of thin air and forced Duo to eat it. A moment later he held out his hand, palm up.

"It's okay now, you're back to normal." He assured Duo and the braided teen reached out tentively to touch it, smiling when he found it solid. Then very suddenly a screech sounded from above and Duo's new friend pressed himself over Duo and held him tight to the wall while he looked toward the sky. Duo found himself quite busy trying to ignore the feeling of having someone so close...

Another Screech rent the air and Duo looked to see an ugly bird with the head of a man circle over their hiding place before it flew off. "What the fuck was that?" The wide eyed Duo asked. "It had a head, a human head!" Heero got up and made to pull Duo to his feet. "That was Relena's spy, it was looking for you Duo, it's no longer safe to be out here." He attempted to bring Duo to his feet but Duo couldn't budge. "Hey I can't move my legs." He said slightly panicked, "and how did you know my name was Duo?" Heero crouched again and move close until his face was barely an inch away. "I've known you for a long time Duo Maxwell, longer than time can count." With that he darted forward, closing the gap and kissing Duo on the lips for a brief and magical moment before backing away and pulling Duo off the ground.

Duo's legs could move again much to his surprise, but he had no time to dwell on how they'd been fixed before the Prussian eyed teen began to run forcing Duo to do so as well in order to keep up. The speed in which they traveled was faster than Duo had ever run in his life. Like the wind they spirited through the alley's behind the many restaurants, one of which Duo knew his parents had fallen victim to. A door clanged open ahead, bring Duo from his thoughts before he could get to depressed. His friend was waving his arm at the doors they had to go through, causing them to open, just until they had passed through before it slammed behind them.

"Hey!" Duo called out to the teen as they ran through a shed full of pigs, "Where are we going?" His answer was quick and to the point. "I'm taking you to the bath house. If you ask for a job Relena can't touch you." Duo fell silent and nodded although he knew the teen wouldn't see him. He began to slow as they got to a garden. Still holding hands the teen unlocked the gate and pulled Duo through. "Okay, the bridge to the bath house has a spell on it that would reveal any breathing thing for what it really is. Hold your breath as you cross and you'll be safe." Duo nodded again as he was instructed to take a breath and they began to cross, Duo holding tightly to the teen's arm.

At half way was a formless, shadow like spirit, with a sad looking mask on its "face". Duo watched it out of the corner of his eye as he passed and noticed its head turn to watch him. Duo almost gasped but held it when he remembered the spell. Then unexpectedly to both Duo and the teen, something came bounding up shouting as it went.

"MASTER HEERO! MASTER HEERO!"

'So his name his Heero." Duo thought when Heero was stopped. A frog leapt up before them shouting and Duo couldn't help it, he gasped. "Hey master Heero, where have you been? Relena has been looking for you for ages and she's going nuts." The frog stopped as he heard a sudden intake of breath and looked to see a teenaged boy hanging off Master Heero's arm. "WHY IS THERE A HUMAN ON YOUR ARM?!" The frog shouted. Heero moved lighting quick and put the frog in a ball of displaced time but the damage was done. Around them the arriving spirits had heard the shout and where calling out as confusion roared up over the bridge.

Heero grabbed Duo's hand again and made a dash for a gate beside the entrance. As they passed the skirts of the female serving spirits blew up. Heero shoved Duo through the gate shutting it behind him and lead the braided teen to the other side of the garden where he pulled him into a crouch. "Oh I screwed up didn't I, I took a breath and they saw me." Duo hid his face behind his knees. Heero lowered himself down to sit before Duo and whispered to him just over the noise of the servants inside looking for him. "Duo you did fine, I'm surprised you could hold your breath for so long, but I can no longer help you now that they are looking for me." Duo looked up it Heero's face, looking to see if he was lying for a joke, but Duo didn't see what he was looking for. Heero had dropped his blank mask and lent forward to kiss Duo.

*"When I leave to distract the people go quickly out the back gate and down the stairs that go from this level all the way down to the ground. When you reach the door marked boiler room got in and talk the boiler man Wufei into giving you work. He will try to deter you, send you away but persist. Understand?" *

Duo heard all this in his mind as long as Heero kissed him. After the message finished Heero broke away with a small smirk at Duo's stunned expression. Duo nodded quickly that he understood as a slight blush spread over his cheeks. Heero got to his feet and went to the nearest door, Duo noticed that the blank mask was once again in place. The mutter of voices slowly drifted away and in the semi stillness of the night Duo got to his feet and crept stealthily for the back gate. The whole time all he could think about was Heero.

So how's that? I know it's a bit short but I need to watch the movie again so I can finish it. I've had to memorize a lot of stuff lately.

Don't forget to review!
