-#-#-#- Change of scene
...Telepathic speech

If he wasn't already lying on the floor, Duo's jaw would have been hitting it as he stared up at the huge cat perched on top of him. This could so not be happening, it was impossible for a cat let alone a huge ass tiger to be sitting on his chest /asking/ him about his dream hunk.

"Well? Are you just going to lay there like a stunned mullet or are you going to answer my question Duo" Glaring down at the braided boy beneath him, Shinigami attempted to grin again but once more only managed to show off his mouthful of sharp teeth as he added "What's the matter? Cat got your tongue?"

Despite the situation, Shinigami let out a light chuckle at his own joke before he turned serious once more "Duo we don't have time to wait around, I need to know if you know anything and I need to know it /now/'

"Err... wha...?" Duo tried to speak, honestly he did! But each time he attempted to form anything resembling a coherent sentence they came out as what he just intelligently replied.

That braided fool's mind was obviously having trouble comprehending his current appearance but Shinigami couldn't wait for him to get over whatever stupor his mind had decided to go into. He needed to find Heero and he needed to find him /now/. Growling lightly in the back of his throat, Shinigami moved his face to barely an inch above Duo's and growled out "Focus Duo!"

Oh how he wished he had hands instead of paws, if he did Shinigami swore he would be slapping some sense into the boy beneath him. Perhaps all the braided idiot needed was a good slap. Looking back over his shoulder at Odin, Shinigami seriously spoke "Odin, slap him for me."

Odin blinked in surprise at the rather odd request, placing his hand on his hip, a single brow rose up as he asked "You want me to what?"

"Slap him across the face, or something. Its not like I can do it, I'd end up taking some flesh along with the slap." Shinigami helpfully answered with as he raised up a paw in front of him and flexed out his sharp claws before retracting them once more.

"I am not going to slap Duo, besides he might be able to think straight if he didn't have a tiger sitting on his chest /talking/ to him." Resisting the urge to roll his eyes, Odin made his way over to the pair and with using all of his strength pushed the large cat from off of Duo. Kneeling down next to his adoptive son, Odin helped him into a sitting position. Gently taking hold of Duo's face, the blonde man turned the braided boy's face to look at him as he softly spoke "You alright Duo?"

Slowly his gaze focused onto the face of his adoptive father and Duo found his mind thinking clearly once more "Odin.... Why is there a giant talking tiger in your bedroom? What's going on?!" Duo finished, a slight hysteric tone entering his voice.

Making sure to keep Duo's gaze locked with his own, the blonde man spoke "Forget about that for the time being, Duo I need you to tell me about the boy you dream off." Seeing his adoptive son's attention beginning to drift back over to where Shinigami calmly sat watching the scene, Odin gently forced the braided boy to look back at him "Come on Duo this is important and I need your help buddy."

"Umm... my dream?" Duo absentmindedly replied as his attention was drawn back to Odin, blinking a few times in confusion the braided boy quietly continued "Well umm... I've only been dreaming about him for the past few months."

Smiling at the braided boy, Odin was pleased to see that he was slowly getting over his shock "Good, tell me about the boy and your dreams."

"They started out pretty irregular in the beginning but over the past month I've been having the dreams almost every night." A slight pink tinge coloured Duo's cheeks as he sat back slightly "The last dream I had was two nights ago and he was being chased by a group of thugs but he managed to escape them after running into a park."

Ears shooting up as he listened, Shinigami bolted over to Duo, knocking Odin out of the way and practically pinned Duo between his front legs "Did you have one last night?!"

"Jesus Christ!" Duo swore as he got an up close and personal look at Shinigami. Scrambling back as far as he could go, the braided boy panted "Don't /do/ that! You scared the hell out of me."

"Damn it Shinigami! We won't be getting any answers with the way you're going." Odin grumbled as he picked himself off the floor and moved over to Duo's side, glaring at the large cat, the blonde man spoke "I know you're worried about Heero but let me handle this ok?"

Narrowed violet eyes locked onto Odin's as Shinigami's claws unconsciously clawed the carpet "You have five minutes Odin, if he hasn't spoken then we do things my way." Then turned and jumped up onto the bed, laying down on the mattress, Shinigami lay there silently as he intently watched the pair.

"Would someone /please/ tell me what the hell's going on?! I'm not answering anyone's question until you do." Glaring for all his worth, the cobalt eyed boy looked between the talking tiger and his adoptive father as he crossed his arms over his chest stubbornly.

Sighing slightly, the older man sat back remaining quiet for a moment before looking over to where Shinigami lay on his bed "Could you unblock Duo's memories like you did mine? I think that would be much easier than me trying to explain everything."

Crossing one paw over the other, Shinigami's gaze lingered on Duo for a moment before focusing on Odin "Are you sure it's what you want to do? He might be better off not knowing, which is why Heero did it in the first place."

'Blocked memories?' Duo thought to himself, losing what shock and fear he had for this Shinigami, anger quickly replaced them as he jumped up and spat out "They're /my/ memories and I have a right to have them!"

Blinking in surprise as he turned his attention back to the braided boy, Shinigami quickly recovered as he narrowed his eyes "What you think is irrelevant." Looking back to Odin, the large cat inclined its head and he got up and jumped down from the bed "But you're correct Odin, we will get what we want much faster."

Before Duo had anytime to respond, Shinigami was standing right before him again, his vivid violet eyes began to glow before the world around him went black and Duo slumped to the floor unconscious.

"Duo!" Odin cried out as his adopted son fell to the floor unconscious. Rushing up to the braided boy's side, Odin breathed out a sigh of relief to find that he was unconscious but otherwise fine.

-#-#-#-#-#-#-

'What was going on?' Duo thought, the last thing he remembered was arguing with Odin and that weird ass cat about his memories before everything turned black. Looking all around, cobalt eyes widened as they found nothing but darkness stretching out as far as the eye could see. A sudden pain exploded within his mind as Duo fell to his knees clutching his head.

-Flashback-

"Hey Q-man, Tro, Wuffie how you guys going?" Duo excitedly asked as he practically bounced all the way to where his friends were sitting. As he sat down Duo looked around, eyes narrowing in mock suspicion as he leant in to the others and quietly asked "So did you hear that there's this new guy starting today? Anyone got any info on him?"

Rolling his eyes at his friends' antics Wufei almost snorted as he replied, "Maxwell just because we have a new student, does not mean that we have such a boring life that we know anything about him."

But nobody was listening to the Chinese boy as Trowa and Duo were paying close attention to what Quatre was telling them "Well I heard that they are new to the town, just moved here a few weeks ago. There's only one child and he's the one whose starting school here today, I don't know what he looks like though."

"Well what's the use of you if you cant even tell me if this guy's going to be good looking or not, I mean seriously what is the use?!?" Duo said with a fake frown on his face, turning back around to face the front of the classroom as the teacher entered the room.

"Alright class settle down, now we have a new student here with us today." A short boy with short messy hair came walking into the classroom as she spoke to her class. Turning her attention to the new student, she gestured out to the class and said "Now if you would kindly introduce yourself, we could get the class started."

Looking up at the class Heero took a small step forward and emotionlessly introduced himself "Heero Lowe."

Raising an eyebrow at the rather short reply, the teacher then instructed Heero to take the spare seat at the back of the classroom as she introduced herself "For those of you how don't know I am your math teacher Mrs. Warrender, now if you would all get out your text books we can start this lesson."

All throughout the lesson though Duo couldn't help but think of the new guy, and how he had the most beautiful eyes he had ever seen before. Looking over towards Heero, Duo felt a sudden surge of possessiveness take over him 'Yes Heero I will make you mine, I will not allow anyone else to have you.'

-End Flashback-

His grasp slacking as the pain subsided, Duo cracked open one eye, wondering out loud "Was that the Heero they're both talking about?" All too soon pain erupted in his skull again as a scream tore itself from his throat.

-Flashback-

The midmorning sun softly shone down on the boys as they walked through the town park towards the pond. Leading Heero down to the waters edge Duo sat down and made sure that when Heero also sat he would do so in his lap. Smiling as his plan worked Duo said thoughtfully "I don't know what it is about you Hee-chan, but ever since I first saw you I can't seem to get you off my mind. Maybe the two of us were destined to meet and now that I've met you, I don't think I could stand ever letting you go."

Watching carefully as Heero listened to his words, Duo smiled brightly as he heard the Prussian eyed boy's reply "I think you're right, I also feel that we were meant to meet."

Finally giving into temptation, Duo lowered his head and claim Heero's soft lips with his.

At first, the kiss was only lips but Duo knew that he would not be satisfied until he had finally claimed all of Heero as his own. Duo ran his tongue across the other boys bottom lip as he waited patiently for Heero to allow him access, it didn't take long and Heero soon parted his lips. Duo gave a possessive growl as he drove his tongue into the other's mouth tasting every inch of Heero's mouth, wanting to taste more from the boy Duo placed his hand on the back of Heero's head and thrust his tongue in as far as he could manage.

-End Flashback-

The taste of Heero's lips on his, the feel as he plundered that sweet mouth. The way the other boy surrender himself to his kiss and the way his arms fit around the other boy's waist. Everything about Heero sent electricity through his body but as quickly as that memory came, it disappeared and was replaced by another.

-Flashback-

"Damn it." Hearing the voice, Shinigami turned around to see 01 emerge from the park whose attention was fully on a black car speeding down the street.

Seeing his chance Shinigami ignored the others and quickly pounced on the boy pinning him beneath his body. Bending down he whispered in 01's ear "I have you now 01, and I will not hesitate to claim you here if you do not submit to me right now."

As Shinigami began placing butterfly kisses all over his face 01 said through clenched teeth "You fool! Do you have any of what has just happened? Your precious Heero has just been captured by the enemy!"

Violet eyes narrowed dangerously as he looked in the direction the speeding car went, punching the side walk hard enough to leave cracks the enraged Shinigami bellowed "How /dare/ these humans touch what is /mine/! I will make them all pay dearly for continually taking what is /mine/!" Getting fed up with all the trouble involving him and his weapon, Shinigami finally decided what to do.

As Shinigami got off 01 he reached out his hand and grabbed the boy by the throat, picked him up and held him in the air "If you do not choose to serve me right now 01, I will dispose of you."

Prussian eyes widening as 01 chocked out "If you kill me now then you would also be killing Heero, remember that we are the same person."

Shinigami did not reply and just merely tightened his grip as he silently waited for 01's answer.

"Maxwell! What the hell do you think you are doing?!?" Wufei yelled as he, Quatre and Trowa ran over to stop him, ignoring them Shinigami's gaze did not leave that of 01's.

"Decide now, will you submit and obey me? If we are to rescue Heero then I will need your help, but if you decide to leave him in the hands of our enemy then I would rather kill you then let them have what is mine." Placing 01 on the ground the pair just stood there looking into each others' eyes for what seemed like an eternity.

Confused and worried about their friend's behaviour Quatre tried speaking again "Duo what's going on here?" But his question went unanswered as Shinigami had his full attention on the boy standing in front of him.

I will obey you master 01 telepathically spoke as Prussian eyes lowered and 01 knelt down before his master, Shinigami.

Closing the distance between them he knelt down next to 01 placed his hand under his chin raising the boy's head, looking deeply into blue eyes Shinigami softly spoke "I am glad to hear it." Then kissed 01 deeply.

-End Flashback-

"01? Heero...?" Duo gasped out loud as the vision ended, clutching his head with one hand, his other held him steady on the floor "There were two of them, Heero split himself into two parts... Why does this feel familiar to me?"

-Flashback-

Giant flames engulfed Heero's body as Shinigami watched on in horror. Panic quickly spread throughout him as he realised that Heero was in too much shock to realise the danger he was in. Not caring for his own safety, Shinigami ran up behind the blue eyed boy, wrapping his arms around his beloved's waist, the flames around then slowly dying down as he whispered in Heero's ear "Come back to me Heero." before placing a soft kiss on the back of Heero's neck.

Prussian blue eyes closing as the figure behind him slowly moved around to face him, not once breaking their embrace. Heero's eyes snapped open when he felt a hand cup his gently cheek. Blue eyes widened slightly when they were met with concerned violet, Heero softly spoke ".... Shinigami."

Shinigami smiled when he heard his beloved softly speak his name. As he gently caressed Heero's soft cheek, Shinigami touched his forehead with that of Heero's as he whispered, "I love you Heero." Before he claimed the blue-eyed boy's lips for his own.

Running his tongue over Heero's bottom lip, Shinigami waited patiently for the other to grant him access. After a few seconds the soft lips parted, Shinigami purred in delight as he quickly slid his tongue into Heero's mouth. He tasted every inch of Heero's mouth, before his tongue searched out that of the winged boy's. Just as he began to feel a burning sensation in his lungs, Shinigami reluctantly pulled away from Heero.

With one arm still wrapped possessively around Heero's waist, his free hand came up to caress his cheek once more as Shinigami lovingly said, "It's good to have you back Hee-Chan." The braided boys grin grew larger when he saw a slight smile appear on Heero's face.

Shinigami tightened his hold around the winged boy's waist as Heero closed his eyes and leant into the embrace. Not wanting to break the comfortable silence, the two just stood there for some time. Heero's thoughts though would not leave him alone as memories from both his past and 01's raced through his mind. Various images of Odin, Shinigami, Dr J, Quatre, Trowa and Wufei all quickly flashed by.

Deciding to follow his emotions, Heero had finally come to a decision to what must be done. His blue eyes opened once more as he looked sadly into Shinigami's violet ones before he said "It is time to give Duo back his life Shinigami, the two of us do not belong in the human world."

Heero watched the braided boy's eyes widen slightly and just before Shinigami could say anything, Heero's eyes softened as he said "Aishiteru Shinigami." Then leant forward and kissed the stunned boy on the lips. Violet eyes widened impossibly, before they rolled back into Shinigami's head. As the braided boy's body went limp, Heero quickly caught it before he could hit the ground.

-End Flashback-

-#-#-#-#-#-#-

"Heero!" Duo gasped, bolting up from the floor and looking around for the blue-eyed boy before realising that it was only a memory. Shoulders visually sagging, the braided boy brought his knees up to his chest and wrapped his arms around his legs as he turned his attention to Shinigami's now feline form. 'Heero loves Shinigami.... Of course he could never love someone like me.' He thought bitterly to himself as he eyed the winged cat. 'I mean seriously, what chance do I have against those sort of odds...'

Closing his eyes for a moment as he felt a deep ache in his chest, Duo took in a shaky breath before turning his attention back to the bane of his existence "I'll help you in any way I can to get Heero back but only on one condition, that you take me along with you when you go to rescue him."

Instantly standing on all fours, violet eyes narrowed as Shinigami growled out "No I can not allow it, you will only be a hindrance to the mission."

Looking between Duo and Shinigami, Odin turned his attention back to his adoptive son "He's right Duo, you haven't got the training to do this sort of thing and I couldn't live with myself if you got injured... or worse."

Standing up, Duo shook of the last traces of fuzziness from his mind, flipping his braid back over his shoulder he smirked and crossed his arms over his chest "Heero was /my/ friend before you oh great Shinigami, decided to take over /my/ body. The way I see it is that without my help you'll never find him in time, so you either allow me to come with you or you simply go on without my help."

Clawing a hole into the carpet, Shinigami growled lowly in his throat, the wings on his side flexing out then back in again in anger as he answered "Fine you can come, but if you get injured we won't come back for you, understand?"

Cobalt blue locked onto violet as Duo nodded his head "Fair enough, expect the same deal from me also."

Eyeing the boy silently for a moment, Shinigami snorted then turned towards the door "Very well, pack light we're leaving in five minutes." then began making his way out of the room.

"Hey! Now you two just wait a minute here, no one's leaving anyone behind.... Shinigami.... Shinigami don't walk away while I'm talking to you!" Fuming, Odin stormed off after the retreating cat leaving the braided boy alone in the room.
