Heero held tighter to the braided boy even as he fell from consciousness. Hilde cried out in surprise and dashed forward but Zechs restraining hand on her shoulder forced her to stay. They watched as Heero clutched the limp boy to his chest, whispering little nothings as her began to stroke his hair. The force of Duo's returning memories triggering his own.
~~~~~ (I'm only going to highlight the key points, like who Duo's father was and some things to do with Heero... oh yeah and you should know that this Heero will be very much out of character because he hasn't been through loosing Duo yet.)
//Flashback//
A boy with long chestnut hair and violet eyes stood before a black clad specter that sat on a throne of blackened skulls and stone. Beside him in a stand sat a long elegant scythe. "Father!" the teenager called out and ran up the stairs of the dais to throw his arms around death. The clocked man returned the embrace. "Shi..."
~
A slightly older Shi walked beside a small river kicking in stones. He'd escaped the castle and left his bodyguards behind, but now he was bored and he didn't dare go back the death's palace now. He was already in enough trouble as it was. He kicked another stone into the water but was unprepared for what happened after. The head of a small dragon burst out of the river, a red mark made by the impact of the stone displayed on the flesh between its eyes. Shi stared as it surged on to the bank beside him and hissed, becoming a boy his own age with blue eyes and messy chocolate colored hair that flopped into his face. "Why did you throw a stone at me?" He growled, straight to the point. Shi was taken aback. "Sorry, jeeze, you'd think I just committed a crime or something." The boy growled again.
"It hurt dammit!" he snarled and Shi giggled. The boy looked at him, stunned. "What's so funny?" He practically demanded. Shi continued to giggle. "You." He managed to gasp before he was bent double. The river spirit glared and turned to go back to the river, disappearing under the surface. Shi stopped laughing and looked around. "Oh well, suppose he didn't think it was funny." Shi went to sit on a rock and began to fiddle with the long grass beside it when a long jet of water hit him in the side of the head. He spluttered and looked to the river where the beached dragon boy was holding his sides as he laughed. "Now that was funny." Shi agreed as he began to squeeze water out of his braid. The boy stopped laughing and lay on the bank, staring up at the black and violet robed boy on the rock.
"So what's your name?" Shi asked. The boy stared a little longer before answering.
"My name is Heero Yuy. This is my river, so please don't go kicking stones into it anymore." Shi grinned,
"My name is Shi!" Shi chirped. Heero looked like he was thinking deeply for a moment.
"Why are you named death?" he asked. Shi looked thoughtful,
"Well I am death's son, and I'm not supposed to be out here come to think of it." Both boys sent a look at the looming black palace. "Hilde is going to go berserk when she finds out I'm gone."
"...And who's Hilde?" Heero inquired, rather confused, something he didn't like to be.
"Hilde is my bodyguard, she's supposed to be watching me now but I kinda sneaked out of the palace. I'm not supposed to though, my father has a few enemies he wants to keep me from." Heero nodded in understanding.
"The spirit in the big river that mine joins on to once mentioned something about Shinigami." Shi just shrugged.
"Well I'm still within sight of the palace so I doubt anyone could get me around here." Heero raised an eyebrow only to snap his head to the side when he felt someone walking up beside his river.
"Does your Hilde have a white shirt, purple vest, purple hair and a really big sword?" He asked looking at Shi. The braided boy was looking for a place to hide.
"I don't want to go back yet!" He rambled, jumping off his rock. Heero hurried out of the water and grabbed his hand, "I don't want you to go either, you're the first person to talk to me in a long time. Follow me and hold your breath." Heero dragged him to the water and plunged under, letting Shi hold his silver horns as they rushed out into the current. Mid way Heero stopped and they looked back. Hilde walked into view on the bank; her black wing's folded to her back as she looked around. Heero took Shi to where some rocks concealed them from the other bank and Shi took a deep gasping breath as he broke the surface. Heero motioned for him to stay quiet and slipped into the water just as Hilde called out.
"River Spirit!" She was using her 'I'm pissed and if you don't come and speak to me I'll come in there and drag you out' tone. Shi was very glad that he hadn't been found. He peered over the rock gingerly and looked at the scene across the water. Heero's dragonhead popped out of the water.
"River spirit, Prince Shi has gone missing from the palace, have you seen him? He has a long braid and he's still wearing his black and purple robes I think, I hope." Shi got the gist of what she was hinting at. The robes of state he wore would single him out faster than his braid would and he'd be found faster if he were still wearing them. Heero became human and floated on his back, watching her.
"I think he was walking along my river earlier." He said nonchalantly, "But he's not anymore." Hilde growled and looked back toward the palace. Shi silently applauded Heero,
//"Nice, all truth. Couldn't have done better myself."// The boy in the water smirked as Hilde stalked away. Heero swam back to him and smiled as he broke the surface.
"It's surprising what people will do for a friend." He said simply as he sat on the rock beside the sopping wet Shi.
Shi grinned.
~
Shi sat by a window in a room decorated in black and violet rolling a small black pearl back and forward under his fingers while he ignored the purple haired woman standing nearby telling him off for disappearing from the palace.
"Are you listening to me?" Hilde demanded and Shi took his gaze off the sliver snaking river that belonged to Heero and looked at her.
"I was listening." He said wearily. "I made a new friend today." He then added as an afterthought. Hilde raised and eyebrow,
"Who is this new friend?" she asked, surprisingly calm. Shi looked back out the window and down at the river,
"I met him by the river." Shi went on, still giving no clue as to who his new friend was except that he was male. "He said his name was Heero." Hilde was confused as to who Shi could have been talking to, after all she pretty much new everyone in the general area around the castle by sight and name, except for the spirits, they never gave their name to you if they could help it.
"Shi I don't want you to leave the castle anymore. If you go out someone might find you and hurt you." Hilde warned the boy. Shi said nothing as he rolled the black pearl between his fingers.
'Like hell I won't leave! If I don't I wont get to see Heero again.' Shi made up his mind to sneak out once more after all; he had a date to keep.
~
A teenaged Shi sat in his bedroom sulking; Hilde had finally caught him trying to escape the palace after all this time. She'd blocked up the way he'd used to get out and had posted guards to make sure he couldn't get there again. He hadn't let on about Heero, Hilde still didn't know about his friend. Shi had the sneaking suspicion that his father had already guessed about the river spirit and Shi was glad he hadn't told anyone else. Shi looked over at the window then down at the small handful of pearls that where cupped in his palm.
Then his violet eyes shot back to the window as he realized what he'd seen. Heero's dragon form hovered in the air by the window. "Heero!" Shi almost said it to loud in his elation. He dropped the pearls, clasped both hands over his mouth and listened for any noise outside but discovered none. He leapt off his bed and ran to open the window, standing back when Heero flew through. He became human in the center of the room and turned to face Shi.
"Why haven't you come to see me?" He asked looking a little lost. "I waited but you didn't come." They'd become something closer than friends in the years they'd known each other. His blue eyes spoke volumes that his face didn't and it was something that only Shi had learnt to see.
"I couldn't come Hee-chan." Shi rushed over and hugged him, his loose hair swirling around in the breeze from the open window. "Hilde found my secret tunnel and blocked it off, I couldn't find another way to get out." Heero nodded slowly,
"Then maybe I should come here more often." He said finally. Shi looked up into his face and smiled at what he saw there.
"Just as long as you're not caught by Hilde that would be perfect." Heero gave him a small smile and leant down to kiss the smaller teen.
~
Shi lay curled around Heero on his bed staring across the room absently as the river spirit stroked his hair. "Hee-chan, I think you should be careful who you talk to for a while." Shi whispered to the other teen, Heero looked at him strangely.
"What did you see Shi?" He asked, raising the teen's chin to search his violet eyes. Shi was worried,
"I felt something...when the new witch entered the region yesterday I felt this feeling of foreboding, like someone was going to try and take me away from you." He was on the verge of tears, the feeling had been very real.
"So the witch, Relena, will she have something to do with all this?" Shi nodded and buried his face in Heero's bare chest.
"Please be careful Heero, I don't want to loose you." Heero put his arms around his disturbed koi and rocked him in his arms until he fell into an uneasy slumber."
~
Relena watched as her Heero made yet another trip to the princes tower, she knew something was going on and she wanted to know what, especially since she couldn't have Heero if he was going to go after someone else now could she. She was unaware that Shi had seen her; she didn't know that Shi watched her as she watched Heero with possessive eyes. He'd finally gone and asked his father about Heero and the god of death had smiled his all knowing smile nodding as the only answer to the question on Shi's mind, but something lurked behind the smile and as Shi was leaving the throne room he'd heard his father speaking.
"It's a dangerous game you play son, guard your steps." Shi had taken the warning to heart and had begun to use his own magic the next day to watch the witch. He soon found out that she had begun to suspect why Heero visited him, she was going to do something drastic, and soon. Shi finally gave Hilde a letter and sent her to give it to the great river spirit, G, it contained his most precious possession, the silver cross he wore around his neck, a gift from Heero that bound them together. No explanation was needed however for she guessed then and there that Heero must have been a river spirit as well. The river spirit who had had no name.
~
Shi ran through the dark halls of the palace, running away from the witch that had come to his room in Heero's place that night. His robes blended into the darkness to shadowed corners as he stood stock still behind a tapestry listening for the tapping footsteps of the pink banshee blooded girl. Hilde was gone, she'd been attacked on her way back from delivering another message to Heero and was now gone, Treize, his other guard, had been attacked by Relena as she'd run past him in the halls in pursuit of Shi, and Heero? Heero was nowhere to be found, Duo searched, reaching out from mind to mind but he couldn't find him anywhere, Heero was beyond his reach.
"You will die now Prince Shi!" Relena's triumphant voice screeched as she lifted the dagger high over her head. Shi could move for fear as the blade came rushing down, and then as he took his final breath Shi heard A cackling laugh,
"NOW NO ONE WILL HAVE MY HEERO! NO ONE!"
~
Heeheeheeheehee, well that's it for Shi's memories, it's kinda sad though how he died and all that... It's a bit on the short and brief side too but I'm sure it gives you some idea about what happened to Duo and Heero in the past even if it is scattered.
Don't forget to review and look out for the final chapters.
