Chapter 8: Zechs.
~~~~~
"Hello." He said pleasantly, "My name is Zechs, I am Relena's brother and I've come for the dragon, so please be kind enough to hand him over." Stared at him as though he'd grown an extra head.
"What do you want with him?" Duo asked harshly, glaring a little at the see through man. Zechs tutted under his breath.
"Don't argue with me boy. I don't know why you're protecting the thief. He stole something of mine, a gold monogram seal, and I want it back." He looked over the room's other occupants and waved a finger idly at Hilde and the harpy who stood on the back of a chair. They both became human, or would have been if it weren't for the leathery bat wings on their back. "Eugh," Zechs said distastefully. "My sister hasn't improved with magic much, has she." He turned his blue gaze back on Duo. "Besides, it would help you to notice boy, that my seal has a spell on it, the dragon won't live to see another day anyway." Duo was beginning to see red.
"Hey listen here!" He all but yelled, "You won't take Heero from me and I won't loose him a second time to anyone from your family." He wasn't aware of the stunned stares he was getting from everyone else in the room, and of the fact that he was glowing violet. "Can't the seal just be returned or something?" Weariness was reflected in his voice suddenly as the power vanished and Duo turned back to Heero, stunned to hear himself say something like that off the top of his head. The dragon awoke suddenly and he snapped his tail over the kneeling Duo to split the white paper bird that had been the source of Zechs' image. The man merely sighed as he himself split and began to fade.
"Ohhh, paper cut." He said amused before he vanished. The heads, Duo, Hilde and the strange ginger haired man who had been the harpy all looked at each other. "Well..." Hilde began, checking her old body before she got to her feet. "That was strange." She went over to a cupboard and began to rummage around looking for something. The former harpy nodded in agreement. "Very." He said and looked around as if seeing the room for the first time. Duo was stroking Heero's head lightly as he spoke, his voice filled with a strained tone that echoed the pained expression on his face. "How are we going to get him out of here?" He asked, making the room's occupants look at him. "We can't just take him out through the bath house. Relena will stop us and try to take him if we did that. He can't fly either. Whatever's inside him is eating him away and it hurts."
Hilde turned away from the cupboard with two swords in her hands, as well as a few daggers that she slipped out of sight. "We could always send him down the chute that Relena uses to get rid of the spirits she doesn't like." The heads looked at her. "And how do you suppose they get out of there?" Dorothy drawled. Hilde rolled her eyes. "Duh! Heero should be able to wake up long enough to change direction. If he's careful he can go directly to Wufei in the boiler room." Dorothy raised an eyebrow. "And how do you know that?" Hilde scowled, "I just do!" she huffed and turned away, throwing the extra sword to the man who caught I and attached it to his belt, the black uniform he wore had been on him when he'd changed, the same went for Hilde. Although, she had a white shirt and a violet vest.
Then there was a noise in the corridor outside that made their blood freeze. Relena was returning! Faster than the eye could see Hilde had run to the fireplace and pulled up the rug before it to reveal a trapdoor. Treize, the former harpy helped her and within seconds a black hole was visible. "Get down here, quick!" Hilde hissed and the heads', along with Duo, pushed the unconscious dragon over the edge. Duo held fast to Heero's neck as the air roared past them. The braided boy's stomach turned disturbingly as they fell further into the blackness. The frantic beating of Hilde and Treize's wings sounded behind them as they followed and the light was cut from about as the heads' pushed the trap door over the hole.
Duo could see the tunnel widening out beneath them, leading to a pit of black shadows that resembled the spirits that had come before them. "Heero." Duo moved so he was closer to Heero's head, clutching one of his horns. A feeling of De'ja vu passed through him at the contact, like a memory that was trying to push its way to the front of his mind. Duo shook it off as fast as it had come trying to get Heero to wake. "Come on! Heero wake up!" Then the light was back from above and a voice screeched above.
"HEERO!"
Duo shuddered at the wail and Heero's eye's snapped open. At the close contact Duo could hear the rambled thoughts that fought in Heero's mind, but in the moment after Relena's shout one thought became very clear. //Getherawayfromme!// Duo had to hold on for dear life as Heero changed directions and hurtled down a large pipe that protruded from the wall. Duo squeezed his eyes shut as he and Heero crashed into the fan that covered the other end and fell to the floor of Wufei's boiler room. The spider-like spirit jumped and began to curse as Heero writhed against the walls before he fell to the floor and into Duo's arms.
Before Wufei could ask what was going on Hilde and Treize crashed to the floor. Landing on the remains of the fan. "What is going on here?" Wufei asked as Duo began to rummage in a pocket, "Why is Yuy down here like this?" Hilde and Treize didn't speak and Wufei was shocked when Duo spoke up. "Heero apparently stole something from Relena's brother, it's killing him from the inside and I don't know how to stop it." Wufei gaped, his mouth opening and closing like a fish out of water. "Zechs?" Wufei asked incredulously. Treize nodded in confirmation. "I think he reversed Relena's magic on us."
Before Wufei could speak Heero started to gag. When they looked Duo was pulling his arm out of the dragon's mouth and the dragon was spewing up black blood. As they watched the blood was gathered into the shape of a slug, like a little evil spirit sitting on a small golden seal. "Quick! Step in that bug!" Wufei yelled. Duo obeyed quickly and plunged forward, scooping up the Zechs' seal as he went. The slug raced around with none of the slowness of the creature it resembled. It tried to hide in the holes that the soot balls lived in but they blocked the way and screamed in their tiny voices. A moment later Duo finally caught up with it and it was flattened to a smear under his foot.
A Shiver ran through his body, as Duo sensed a part of Relena's essence in the little evil creature. "Quickly now!" Wufei was shouting again. "Hold your forefingers and thumbs together!" Duo did so and Wufei reached out a hand to chop through and part his fingers saying 'evil spirit be gone!' right after it was done Heero began to change back to human, his body changing until the messy haired teen lay there instead, his once white tunic and shorts bloodstained and torn. "Heero!" Duo cried out and rushed to kneel beside him. His face was pale as he clutched Heero's hand. "He's bleeding from the inside Duo." Wufei said quietly, moving down from the place he worked and slept. Duo wrapped his arms around Heero's unconscious form and held on to him. "I know." He whispered. Wufei moved away and went to mix something, when he returned he handed Duo a cup. "Give him that, it will help with the internal bleeding." Duo fought off tears and did as he was told, only when Heero was wrapped up in blankets on Wufei's sleeping mat did the braided teen remember the two bat-winged guards and that Relena would be out for his blood.
"We have to do something soon." Duo addressed Hilde, "The only way I can think of is to go to Zechs and return the seal so he can lift the curse on Heero. But I don't know how to find him, or how I get there once I do." Wufei had been listening and as Hilde protested he went to a corner of the room and opened a draw. "I can tell you where Zech's lives." He said as he returned, Hilde and Duo stopped arguing. "And I can get you there, but I can't get you back." He handed Duo three train tickets, all of which where very rarely seen in the bathhouse. "I saved up for forty years to get these, but I have no reason to use them, so I'll give them to you. Zechs lives in swamp bottom, six stops away from the bath house." Duo accepted the tickets and nodded, repeating the instructions for getting there.
"I can just walk back along the tracks to get back. I've had to do that before once." Hilde raised an eyebrow. "Ahem! We're going with you mister. We can fly back instead." Duo rolled his eyes, "Alright come then." Duo then looked down at his magenta colored uniform. "But I'm soooo not going to go out in public wearing this!" He ignored Hilde's sudden giggles he stood and went to where the soot balls had gathered at the step. "Hey ya guys! Would ya get my shoes and clothes please?" The black smudges chirped excitedly and raced into their mouse holes. Returning with Duo's old black garments from their hiding place. Duo grinned at took them, changing quickly he kissed Heero on the forehead and was about to leave when the door opened and Quatre's head popped in.
"What the hell is going on Duo? Relena is tearing apart the bath house looking for you!"
