Author's Notes 2: This part contains DEATHFIC! You have been warned!!! Please don't flame me if you feel that it is wrong! It is just how the story flows!! ::cringes away from angry readers throwing rocks at her::

The rain was pouring down in sheets, and claps of thunder followed strong flashes of lightning. But Wufei couldn't see or feel any of it. All he could see was his beloved locked in a kiss with Heero, and the only thing he heard was the pounding of his own heart, breaking apart second by second.

Tears were streaming down his cheeks, mingling in with the rain. Sobs were shaking his body until he could barely think. But he knew where he was going; he had gone there several times before. It was the one place he could go and not be disturbed. He would go to see Treize.

"Wufei! Wait!" He heard called out behind him. He knew it was Duo, but he couldn't bear to see him at the moment. The pain was still too fresh.

Duo watched Wufei's retreating back and tried his hardest to keep up. But, unlike Wufei, he didn't know the direct route to the cemetery on foot, so he had to watch his footing or risk falling.

He followed the form of his lover, slowly starting to gain as he no longer cared what he stepped on. "Wufei, please. Let me explain!" He heard a noise, it sounded like a sob. For a minute, Duo thought it was from Wufei, but Wufei was strong. He didn't cry, did he?

"Go away, Duo! LEAVE ME ALONE!" Wufei was still running towards the headstone, not looking at the ground and watching where his feet were going. But Duo saw it, the large stone directly in front of Wufei's path. Lightning illuminated the area like daylight, and Duo screamed.

"Wufei, look out!" Wufei didn't hear Duo's cry until it was too late, and he tripped and lost his footing on the slippery ground. He only had a moment to see the thick, stone flowerpot, broken in many places, looming in front of his vision before his world went black.

To Duo, the events that passed went by as if in slow motion. He saw his lover go down. He heard the thick 'thunk' as Wufei's skull hit against the stone. Then, as if in a nightmare, he saw Wufei's head snap back, and he heard the sickening 'crack' and saw Wufei go still. Duo's eyes widened, and he fell to his knees.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!" His cry was heart wrenching, and he half-crawled half-ran to the motionless form of Wufei. Tears were streaming down his face as he touched Wufei's cheek, tracing the lines of tears that Duo thought Wufei would never cry. Sobs shook Duo's body, and he took hold of Wufei's shoulder and shook it gently. "W-W-Wufei? W-Wufei p-p-please w-wake up! P-Please d-d-don't g-go! WUFEI!" Duo screamed his sadness, anger, and all other raw emotions to the raining sky, his tears mingling with the downpour.

The sound of sirens could be heard, and Duo, in a state of shock, continued to sit there, soaked by the rain and dirtied by the mud he was sitting on. He didn't know who called the ambulance, and he didn't care. In a state of denial, he smiled.

"You're not dead, Wufei. They're going to put you in the ambulance and you're going to wake up, laughing at me for being so stupid. Aren't you Wufei?" He whispered, stroking Wufei's cheek and hair. "You wouldn't die like this. Not when I'm here."

He was holding Wufei's head in his lap when the ambulance finally pulled up. They had to pry off the braided American when he refused to let Wufei go, and Heero, who had showed up at the cemetery just as Wufei fell, had to help the ambulance crew hold Duo down.

"Heero! Tell them! Tell them that he is still alive! TELL THEM!" Duo was clenching the front of Heero shirt, actually lifting Heero off the ground. Heero put a hand on Duo's shoulder, and Duo lowered Heero, taking a deep breath before speaking again. "He is still alive, right, Heero? He will be okay?" Heero schooled his face into one of sadness, and he shook his head.

"Duo, please, calm down and take deep breaths." The realization of Wufei's death hit Duo for the second time, and Duo broke down and cried some more, his body falling to the ground. Heero picked him up, cradling him close, and carried him to the ambulance. He hid his face in Duo's hair, a grin he couldn't help coming over his features. This part of the mission was accomplished. Now, as he thought of Trowa and his meddling ways, he was going to have to start part two of his mission, and he was looking forward to that with as much enthusiasm as he was able to feel.

-------------------

The funeral was quiet, and small. Only a few people were there, including Quatre, Trowa, Heero, Duo, Lady Une, Relena, and a few of Wufei's relatives who had survived the wars. Duo was a mess, but he held himself together fairly well. He was clutching Lizzie, who had also made an appearance at the funeral with wet cheeks and a bouquet of flowers that looked hand-picked.

After all of the sentiments were said, and everyone placed their own bunches of flowers on the coffin before lowering it into the ground, Duo placed Wufei's Preventer jacket over the coffin, silent tears falling down his cheeks. "Wait for me, Wufei. I love you." He whispered, placing a kiss at the head of the coffin before letting the people lower the coffin into the ground.

No one else saw Heero and Relena lock eyes over the grave, Relena's in a squint of anger and Heero's gleaming with smug pride. He made a small checking motion with his finger, and Relena sniffed and looked away. 'We'll see about that.' She mouthed back. He raised an eyebrow and cracked his knuckles. 'You're on.' He mouthed back, and that was the end of their contact.

After the funeral was through, and everyone had mostly left, Heero joined Quatre and Trowa, who were talking quietly to Duo, patting him on the shoulder reassuringly and giving their condolences. Trowa gave Heero a menacing look that was missed on all but Heero himself, and Heero only raised an eyebrow at the message it sent.

"Trowa, I was wondering." Heero started, getting everyone's attention.

"Yes?" Trowa's tone was clipped, and Quatre looked at him questioningly.

"Where is your next performance?"

"Back on L3, why?" Heero smiled, a feature which still didn't look quite right on the stoic pilot.

"Nothing, really, I was just curious. Maybe I'll come and watch it or something." Trowa raised an eyebrow. "I can check some of the structures you use, you know, make sure they are structurally sound. I wouldn't want you to fall and hurt yourself." The menacing tone in Heero's voice was heard only by Trowa, and Trowa gave Heero a glare that could match Wufei's for anger.

"I never fall, Heero." With that, Trowa took Quatre and Duo by the arms and led them away.

"We'll see about that, Trowa. We'll just see." Heero said quietly, just for Trowa to hear. Heero saw Trowa stiffen, but Trowa did not reply. Heero's chin raised a notch and he walked away from the cemetery, looking at the new grave next to Treize's. A wry grin twisted his lips and he uttered a low, feral chuckle. "Mission One: Complete. Mission Two: Here I come."
