Chapter Three: Encountering new Allies

Duo groaned in agony as he opened his violet eyes, his body felt as though as it been used as someone's own personal punching bag. Duo felt extremely tired and he could barely move without his body protesting every movement by giving him pain through the aching muscles within his body. What happened? He thought grimly, as he remembered seeing someone in trouble, a young woman with blue eyes and dirty-blonde hair and a beautiful man with beautiful cold cobalt eyes. For some reason the boy's image was clearer then the woman's image, if he closed his eyes, he could still see the boy's dark brown messy strands of hair and those determined cold cobalt eyes that Duo felt he wanted to see brighten with warmth and happiness. Although the details of his condition were still fuzzy, he did remember his attempt to save them and a horrid, ugly looking monster that ran towards him in anger and then everything was blank. What happened after that? Was I injured? What ever happened to that boy named Heero and that woman in distress? Where Iam now? Duo thought anxiously as he realized he was now laying on a warm, comfortable bed in small but cozy room. He looked around the room to see it was plain, small bedroom with a small closet, a dresser, a small mirror in one corner, and a small window that was opened slightly to let in the cool breeze. Duo was surprised there was no sign of any entertainment such as a TV, a telephone, a game of any sort, even a book was nowhere to be found in the room, it made Duo wonder if anyone even lived in this room. Although the room appear clean and not filled with dust as Duo imagined an used room to look like, there was still sign that anyone lived there despite the presence of warmth the room radiated.

Duo's observation of the room was rudely interrupted when the door was swung open and the beautiful boy he saw earlier entered the room, holding a food tray in his hands. Duo took a moment to observe the boy that caused his heart to beat faster and his mind to race with passion-filled ideas. Heero was a work of art, he wore a green tanktop that showed off his slender, muscular body, he also wore smug green pants that showed off his muscular legs. Everytime seemed to be a beautiful about the boy from head to top, his cold cobalt eyes, his tanned skin, his dark-brown strands of hair, and his pouty lips that seemed to be begging to be kissed by Duo's lips. What was happened to him? Why was he feeling such lust for a person he didn't even have a chance to properly meet? Duo thought but his mind became blank as those cobalt eyes stared into his violet eyes. "So you are alive, that is good to know. Relena has been very worried about you and as have everyone esle in the house. It seems everyone has taken a liking to you even though you been sleeping for the past two days. I been send to bring you food, are you able to eat the food without help or will I have to force-feed you?" Heero stated coldly as he glared at Duo, he couldn't help but treat the boy harshly since he was stirring new emotions within him that he was afraid to feel. Duo smiled warmly at Heero and ignored his glare for a moment and replied merrily "Well, its nice to meet you too. I'm Duo by the way and I believe your Heero. I'm little weak and confused at the moment Heero, so can you explain to me what happened after I confronted that monster. I don't remember anything and since I been out as a light since I got here, I figure something important must have happened to me. Can you enlightened me?"

Heero continued to glare at Duo as he put the food tray on a table near the bed, for a moment Duo thought that Heero was not going to answer him. Heero seemed to dislike him for some reason and Duo felt oddly attracted to the beautiful boy that looked like he never smiled in his entire life and he desperately wanted to get to know the boy better, that is if Heero wasn't going to kill him for trying to socialize with him. Duo watched Heero glare coldly at him for a moment before stating mechanically "You saved my life and Relena. You had transformed into a creature of flames and you destroyed the monster. I owe you my life and Relena until the debt is repaid, I'm your devoted servant." Duo stared at Heero, confused for a moment; he was surprised at his tale of events, mostly cause it was told with no emotion and the content of Heero's words surprised him as well. Duo could only recall few events of what happened the two days prior and suddenly he groaned in agony as images flashed in his mind. Duo felt himself collapse but instead of hitting the hard floor, he was caught in warm arms and he closed his eyes, knowing for that moment he was safe.

Part Two: Encountering new Allies

Regular POV:

"What did you do to him Heero?" Relena cried out as she entered the room to see Heero holding an unconscious Duo. Heero turned cold cobalt eyes on her and Relena shivered then blushed as Heero stared at her "I didn't anything but explain to him how he got into his pathetic state. Relena, go get Quatre. I'm leaving." Heero replied coldly as he carefully laid Duo on the bed then walked pass Relena to door. "Relena don't accuse me of things that humans do. I have no need to hurt humans or protect them. Remember that, Relena." Heero stated coldly as he walked out the door, leaving a speechless Relena behind him. Relena felt her blush deepen and looked down, she truly felt bad for jumping to conclusions, it was that boy had saved their lives and for some reason, she felt overprotective of him; Afterall if he was the one they had been waiting for, she will finally be able to live as a princess. Relena sighed, she really wished Heero would be more caring, he was so cold to everyone that it was hard to think that he cared for any one of them but she knew he did, afterall why would he protect them? Relena walked over to Duo's bed and stared at him intently for a moment, how did this teenager gain such power, could he really be the firebird? Relena thought doubtfully. Suddenly she gasped in shock and horror before a scream ripped its way out of her mouth as she saw Duo's body began to glow.

Hearing her scream, Quatre, Trowa, Milliardo, and Wufei rushed into the room. They all watched in horror as Duo transformed before their eyes, flames began to surround his body and it began to spread across the room, burning everything in sight. Relena screamed as a flame burn her skin, the flames seemed to have a mind of their own and began to surround everyone, readying itself for the kill. Sadly Duo was still unconscious as his powers emerged and wasn't able to stop in time to save them. They needed help and they needed it fast. Luckily at the same time, Heero rushed into the room, he took one look at everyone's terrified faces and the floating, glowing Duo and knew what he had to do. Heero walked over to Duo, the flames seemed to part as he walked through him, oddly the flames didn't burn his skin or cause him any discomfort. Heero walked through the flames calmly as though he was walking through something comfortable or pleasant such as cushions or water. "Duo, snap out of it!" Heero shouted as Duo's blank violet eyes opened and stared at Heero before a cruel smile spread across his face. "I been waiting for you." Duo stated in a cold voice that send shivers up everyone's spines but Heero stood his ground, glaring at the flame Duo. Duo floated across the ground towards Heero, he stared deeply within Heero's eyes for a moment before planning kiss upon his lips.

Heero's eyes widened as he felt Duo's lips on his before closing, his body began to lose its energy and he collapsed within Duo's arms as Duo kissed him savagely but oddly gentle and passionate as though Heero and him were past lovers. At the exact moment, Heero collapsed in his arms, Duo reluctantly stopped kissing Heero and the flames died down and Duo's eyes began to regain its focus. Everyone stared at Duo in horror, they had witnessed the power of the firebird, the Shinigami of souls and they had the right to be terrified.
