Dead Shadow Ch. 8

Disclaimer: Gundam Wing not mine; all other characters are mine unless otherwise noted.

Trowa was bewildered as he looked at his surroundings; he must have been brainwashed in some way because it was obvious he had no idea where he was or why he was even here in the first place.

"W - Where am I?" he wondered out loud.

I really didn't care what happened to the world: for one moment, there was a blissful peace. Still in tears, I ran up to him, hugged & kissed him like crazy. Needless to say, Trowa was more than willing to return the favor. The happiness was soon interupted as Lemar started to speak:

"Slave! I ordered you to kill him! DO AS I COMMAND YOU!" he angrily yelled. Once again, Lemar raised a hand, preparing to hit Trowa. It was quite a surprise when Trowa suddenly turned around & grabbed Lemar's fist; he held it so tight that he broke Lemar's hand completely. Moving his body slightly closer, Trowa did what I've wanted to do the entire time: he had spat on his face. In a dark tone, Trowa said:

"Don't even think of touching Quatre, you sorry asshole. That is unless you want an instant sex change, which I can arrange rather quickly." Trowa then smirked & punched him in the jaw, then turned to me with an extended hand. "C'mon koibito, let's go on home. Everyone's gotta be worried by now."

K - Koibito...?

He called me that?!

That was what ran through my head; my mouth wanted to release a loud shout of joy, but instead I just smiled & nodded. Preparing to leave, we were in shock when the door suddenly slammed shut before our eyes. Lemar was up to his old tricks again & completely filled with rage. His eyes were a sickening blood red & an evil aura began to swirl all around him.

"How dare you..! I was willing enough to love you! You came to me begging to make love to you as long as your precious bird was allowed to live, and this - this is how you repay me!" he spat out. His gaze immediately turned to me. "Oh that's right: he never told you that did he? Not once did he open his mouth & say that he willingly slept with me to save you." Again he grinned at me & playfully licked his lips. "Guess that puts a little damper on your relationship doesn't it, lovely one?"

Instantaniously, my eyes were on the verge of tears.

"T-Trowa, please...tell me he's lying...!"

Trowa was silent, but he shook his head. I looked into his eyes & I saw nothing but remorse; I knew he didn't want to do it, but it was still unbelieveable to me.

"I'm sorry Quatre. I - "

"How the hell could you?! I loved you & yet you had to go this far!" I yelled.

Lemar chuckled at all this. "This is wonderful you know. Now you can stay with me forever," he spoke in a loving tone as he attempted to kiss Trowa's neck. He angrily moved away, approached me, and while looking into my eyes got on one knee. I couldn't help but stare.

"Trowa?"

Was he going to ask me ' that question ' ...?
