Chapter 11: Get daddy to do it!
~~~~~
It had been an hour since Duo had passed out in Heero's arms and the messy haired boy hadn't moved as much as a muscle the whole time. Watching over the braided boy like a frozen statue. Zechs had let Heero put him on a pallet set up by the fireplace instead of letting them stand in the courtyard like they had been. Relena's brother had forgiven Heero for stealing his seal, only on the terms that he keep Duo safe, or he himself would come after the dragon spirit and cause him bodily harm. The comment had earned him a smack in the head from both Hilde and Lucrezia.
Heero began to show the first sign of life out of the two by the fireplace. He moved forward to put his face barely and inch from Duo's as the boy stirred from sleep, hardly seeming to as neither his breathing nor heart rate changed, but Heero knew. He brought up the pale hand he held between his own and held it to his cheek. Then Duo opened his eyes. The violet orbs filled with unexplained tears as he rushed forward and kissed the river spirit with all the emotion he could muster. Heero was surprised for a moment before he allowed himself to kiss him back.
They pulled apart a few minutes later and Duo was smiling through his tears. "I remember Heero!" He whispered so only they could hear. "I remember everything!" Heero returned the smile and kissed him once more before he helped Duo sit up. The braided boy hastily wiped his eyes and stared around the room at its other occupants, all of whom where pretending not to watch. Duo laughed out loud at their poor job of hiding it. "Just turn around already!" he cried out so they could all hear, "Its not like where going to start making out or anything." Hilde swiveled on her toe and shot at Duo. "Please tell me you remember!" She begged him as she glomped onto him. "Please, Please, Please!" Duo pushed her off so she couldn't squeeze the wind out of him.
"Cool it Hilde! I remember so get off me already." The purple haired girl backed off, grinning foolishly. Duo looked down at his priest's outfit and then up at Heero as he spoke. "These clothes just wont do." He murmured and snapped his fingers loudly. He glowed briefly before the violet light gathered and solidified, becoming the same robes he'd worn the day he'd met Heero.
"Its good to have you back, young highness." Treize spoke up as he stepped around the celebrating Hilde. "Your father will be happy to hear that you where resurrected after all these years." Duo's bright expression seemed to become shadowed at the mention of his father.
"He already knows." Duo waved a hand to dismiss the subject and turned to Heero, his face deadly serious. "Will you accompany me to the bathhouse one last time?" He asked. The other occupants of the room all looked at them, wondering why Duo would want to walk into the lair of the beast again so soon after escaping it. Heero had an idea of what Duo was getting at and looked at him worriedly.
"Her power has grown." He cautioned him.
"So has mine." Duo answered back softly, "We can beat her this time Heero, the only reason she got us last time was because we weren't together, this time we will have the advantage over her instead of the other way around." Heero's eyes held uncertainty.
"I only just got you back again Duo. I won't be able to live on any longer if I loose you again." Duo held Heero's prussian blue eyes with his own violet orbs.
"It's a risk we'll have to take Heero." Duo spoke in a tone that told Heero he meant and believed every word he said. "We can't let her fester in jealousy like we did last time, Heero. She'll only grow more powerful the longer she's allowed to feed off it. I don't want her to try and repeat the past." Heero gave him one last worried look before his expression hardened and he looked to the side.
"We'll have her outnumbered this time won't we Hilde, Treize." The pair jumped as Heero spoke directly to them. Treize recovered faster than Hilde did.
"Of course Master Heero." Duo raised an eyebrow at the use of the honorific and Treize suddenly began to explain. "Well, he is your......... So it's only practical that we should call him that since he's almost a royal anyway........." he trailed off as Duo waved a hand at him, a smile twisting his lips. Duo looked at Hilde.
"I'll be there with you your highness, after all I have a bone to pick with Relena and she's not going to look so high and mighty after I'm done with her." Duo's small smile became the tiniest hint wider.
"Well then with that settled we have no reason to stay here." Duo turned to Zechs and Lucrezia. "I really can't thank you enough for helping me." He said with great sincerity.
"Think nothing of it," Zechs waved a hand in the air. "Just be careful when you confront my sister, we wouldn't want our efforts to go to waste." Duo smiled at him then turned back to the others.
"Well I'll see ya later Zechs my man! As for us, we gotta bounce." He led Heero and the bat winged guards out into the yard and watched as Heero became a dragon and bowed low for Duo. Carefully climbing onto the dragon's shoulders Duo waved at the two spirits in the doorway of the cottage before he and his escort took off into the sky.

The sun was rising when Duo slid off Heero's back to the street before the bridge to the bathhouse. Everything was still and peaceful like it had been the day Duo had arrived but the four of them knew that this was not the case. They could sense the tension in the air as the whole bathhouse realized the importance of the upcoming confrontation. Duo and the others didn't have to wait very long for someone to come. Relena stalked out of the front doors, looking pale and sickly. Her wrinkled face twisted with an unholy expression that shifted between rage and jealousy. //Now she really resembles a banshee.// Duo thought idly as she stopped in the center to the wooden bridge. Behind her the serving spirits had all climbed onto the walls that surrounded the gardens and were watching with wide eyes, a few even recognizing Duo for who he really was now that he wore the robes of a prince of Shinigami's realm.
"I knew it!" Relena snarled the moment she was within earshot. "So you where finally reborn." Heero was glaring over Duo's shoulder.
"He wouldn't have had to have been reborn if you hadn't killed him, Miss Relena Peacecraft." His voice held an undertone of something akin to rage that carried across the bridge to the ears of the spirits that had climbed the bathhouse walls. Among them Quatre, Trowa and Wufei watched with baited breath as Heero's formerly secret past became unraveled before them beginning, almost immediately, to contradict the cold and unfeeling spirit they'd all known for so long. Relena however was fuming, the ugly expression on her face twisting to one of pure hatred before it was trained blank.
"But Heero," She started in a sickeningly sweet voice. "You stayed by my side for so long, you must love me if that's the case." Heero made an expression of disgust while Duo spoke aloud for the first time.
"Relena, you are trying my patience." He said in a growl that chilled even Heero, he was using the voice of death. "I know why you killed me and enslaved Heero, you are a sad and pathetic creature, all dried up like a husk of something that could have been great if you hadn't seen fit to become consumed by jealousy. Jealousy of your brother for being the siren, jealousy toward me for having what you could never take." The calm mask Relena had forced herself to use had vanished; the rage was back as she screeched in protest of his words.
"HOW DARE YOU ACCUSE ME OF BEING JEALOUS!" Her banshee heritage was shown in full as power crackled to life in her voice, practically oozing with I'll intent. "I WILL KILL YOU JUST FOR MENTIONING IT!" She seemed to teleport before them, the long nails on one hand extending to claws as she pulled back her hand and made ready to slash at Duo, but before she could start the down swing a hand grasped her wrist in a searing grip that burned her flesh. Turning as best she could a sudden feeling of dread washed over her and all her anger drained away as if someone had pulled a plug under her feet.
"Relena Peacecraft, you will not harm my son a second time. You broke your family's contract to me and for that you mast be punished."
A morbid little smile lit up the pale face of Shinigami as the hag began to kick and scream; she shrank and turned older as Shinigami released the sustaining spells on her body. He waved the scythe in his other hand twice, the first time separating a large cluster of gray cords that ran off into the bathhouse and down toward the pig pens. The second wave opened a portal of black smoke behind him. He moved toward it before he stopped and looked back toward where Duo and Heero stood with solemn expressions on their faces. His ancient violet eyes softened as they locked with Duo's. "Welcome back, Shi," He said simply in a more human voice before adding with a sly smile, "and I don't expect to see you again for at least another hundred years......... either of you." He laughed in a scary monotone at the surprised look on his son's face as he dragged the shriveled screaming hag that was Relena back into the darkest reaches of his kingdom.

Heeheeheeheehee. See! If you don't want to do it yourself just get daddy to do it. That's all for this story but there will be an Epilogue when I get around to writing it. I suppose it's kinda pointless to remind you to review now......... so I'll just remind you that there are other stories I've written instead!
(-__-)''' Okay, even I admit that was dumb.........
I'm going to also put up a bit at the bottom of the Epilogue acknowledging all the people who reviewed to this story.
So until next time
