Prologue
This story begins in a rich residence, where the Yuy family lived. This family was well known for its beauty and elegance. For Relena, the Lady of the house was beautiful, with her golden hair and black eyes. Lady Relena always wore the finest clothes and always had everyone in awe, and attracted many suitors of many ages. Unfortunately, Lady Relena was married to Lord Odin, who was the owner of the mansion. While Relena was known for her beauty, Odin was well known, for being a gorgeous gentlemen. Lord Odin was always praised for his extensive glamorous galas. Though the Yuy couple were a perfect match by looks and brains, there was something missing in their lives.
This lacking feeling nagged the couple for a while, till a simple solution was found. The Yuy couple would have a baby and close the gap within their hearts. The whole town was surprised at this predicament, no one could think of the maiden Relena as a pregnant mother. Though Lady Relena had her doubts, she still went with her heart, and was soon announced pregnant. Lord Odin, was overjoyed and had a large celebration for his love and their child. Soon the months went by, and their newborn was in their arms, here is where the trouble began. The newborn baby was adorable, there was no doubt in the couple's minds that the baby would make them proud and increase their status among the people. Their happiness was short-lived.
The Yuy's couple baby's name was Heero. The little baby boy was nothing, but trouble, crying constantly and never seemed to sleep. Still Relena and Odin had faith in their child and knew their pain and suffering would be worth the honour, the baby would bestrode on them. As the years passed, the baby Heero grew up into a cold, stubborn, un-loving, spoiled brat. For when the boy reached age three, the Yuy's couple realized their son was different from them. Their son Heero, had no resemblance to them, with his dark messy hair that couldn't be fixed neatly by any means and his deep prussian eyes which held little or no emotion. Since, Heero held nothing special in his parent's opinion and was weird in others, the boy became ugly in his parent's eyes. Since the Yuy's couple was ashamed of their son, they kept the young boy hidden especially, at parties and gave the boy his own servant named Treize.
Since Heero barely saw his parents and the parents never acknowledged him, he became cold and distant. He was cruel to everyone around him and never smiled or even had, a friend in his life ever. As always, his parents were having another party, which meant, he was locked in his room all evening and the only person he'll speak to or see, would be his servant Treize. As usual, Heero snuck a glass of wine from, the dinning table and took a sip as he entered his room. For some reason, the wine made him sleepy and light headed and before he knew it, he was fast asleep, cuddled in the blankets of his bed.
Chapter One - No One Left
One scorching morning, Heero was awakened by strange woman in her bedroom. The woman gasped in shock as she saw him open his eyes and glare at her with his cold prussian eyes. The woman froze and stared at the boy before, running out the room. Heero rubbed his tired eyes and narrowed them as he heard voices in the hall.
"There's a boy in there."
"What! I thought the Yuy's son died."
"So did I."
"Everyone must have died, go fetch the boy, it's deadly, to stay here."
"Yes I shall"
A woman ran back into Heero's room, "Come boy, it's time to go. Come with me, hurry come on now!" The woman called out as she headed out the door. Heero watched the woman, flee with her companion. Heero didn't have long to ponder the strange woman, for a strange tiredness provoked him and his eyes soon closed.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the young boy who was lost in his sleep, in his bedroom till, one day when men entered the empty mansion. Heero awoke from his sleep again, and looked about as he heard voices talking.
"Look at this place, it's a mess."
"It's such a tragedy, what happened to the Yuy's."
"Yes, but there seems to be more to the story than known, the Yuy's actually had a child"
"Really?"
"I wondered what happened to that child."
One of men entered the room, looking around and his eyes widened as he came across Heero sitting up, in his bed. "A Child in here, how horrible!" The man stated as he stared into Heero's cold eyes. " My name is Heero Yuy. I fell asleep when everyone had cholera and I just fully woke up. Where's everyone? Why is it so quiet? Where's my servant Treize?" queried Heero to the man's remark. Another man entered the room, he seemed to an officer. "You were forgotten little one, there is no one to answer your calls, and everyone is dead. Your parents died and their servants, whoever were left, must have fled. I'm sorry but there's nothing left for you here, come follow me." The Officer explained as he helped Heero out of bed and took him to Catherine, the local keeper of the orphanage.
For a while, Heero stayed in Catherine's care. The woman was nice but Heero never opened up to her or talked to the sweet woman. For he disliked the other children there, since Heero wasn't sociable. He never talked to anyone and whoever actually tried to talk to Heero, always regretted the decision for the boy was just plain cruel to them. Soon Heero was given a nickname by the children of the orphanage, "The Tyrant." Heero ignored their name-calling even though it was very annoying, he tolerated for he knew that in time he'd escape the kids and their taunts.
Then one day, Catherine informed him gently that he was going to be taken his cousin's Wufei Craven's manor. Catherine gave Heero, a tearful goodbye and even embraced him before, he left the orphanage. Heero even surprised the woman by kissing her cheek and muttering farewell as he walked alongside Dorothy Medlock, the woman who would be escorting him to his cousin's manor. Though Heero didn't know what to expect, he couldn't stop the feeling of dread that he was going walk into something big, that he wasn't ready for.
" Hello I'm Mrs. Medlock, you may call me Dorothy for now. Let me warn you before, you say anything. You shall be on your best behaviour and you don't need to be worried, you won't get to see your cousin. You will be told which rooms, you can roam and which you cannot. You'll have play by yourself and look out for yourself. There will be gardens, but don't roam around too much. Mr.Craven won't like it." Explained Dorothy as Heero glared at her and followed her into a carriage. As soon as they were comfortable inside. Heero looked out the window, and stayed silent, throughout the entire ride.
Soon after a long trip, the pair soon arrived at the Manor and entered it. An old man was waiting for them and informed "You shall take him to his room. He doesn't want to see him and he's leaving in the morning." Dorothy stared at the man coldly and replied, "I know what's expected of me." The old man looked at her. "Your job is to make sure he's not disturbed and doesn't see things, he wouldn't want to see." The Old man murmured. After this was said, Dorothy led Heero Yuy up a flight of stairs to his room where a fireplace was lit. "This is the room, you shall stay in and live in. Don't forget it!" Dorothy practically roared at Heero as she stalked off and closed the door behind her. Heero was pooped and as soon as Dorothy left, he relaxed and lied on his new bed, to fall into a dreamless sleep.
To be continued…
Chapter 2 : Quatre
A young boy with piercing Prussian eyes that were now closed to the world and dark messy brown hair was asleep on his new bed. Trapped in the blankets, he had kicked around the night before. The door opened to his room gently and a teenager with blue eyes, blond hair and a shy smile on his face entered. The blond teen set to his work right away, not taken notice of the boy that was sleeping in the bed. The blond teen unknowingly began to hum as he cleaned the windows and tidied up the place, also putting some flesh flowers in a vase near the bed. As the blond teen, left the room to get the breakfast tray, he didn't notice the young boy stir on his bed.
Heero sat up and rubbed his eyes. (Very kawaii, imagine a chibi-Heero with his hair messier than usual and his eyes big and bright.) He gasped as he looked around at his surroundings. Huh, What happened? Heero pondered as he absentmindedly, scratched his head. Then like a crash of lightning, it suddenly came to him, he realized why this place felt eerie and didn't look familiar because, he had a new home now, he was now living with his cousin Wufei. Heero sighed and laid back down, staring up at the ceiling. The silence was disturbed by something very large and very near.
Heero blinked than sat up and turned towards the intruder. Cold Prussian eyes met Warm blue ones. Heero gasped in surprise, walking through the doorway was a blond teenager who was dressed in servant clothes. He seemed very young to be a servant, Is this why my cousin wanted me here? To slave for him? Heero thought as he managed to settle his thoughts and glared at the beaming boy walking in. What's he's so happy about? Is he laughing at me? Why..... that little, well he's taller than me so logically he's not smaller so, I guess I just have to call him a jerk for now even, if he looks friendly and he kind of cute. Heero felt his cheeks begin to warm as he finished his thoughts and quickly averted his gaze from the boys and turned away.
The room was silent as the blond teen carried a tray into the room and put it on the table, humming all the way. (I guess the room wasn't totally silent, oh well. You guys know what I mean) Heero finally broke the silence "Could you Stop the racket?! Who gave you the right to enter my room, without permission?!" demanded Heero, his eyes meeting the bright blue ones again.
The blond teen frowned at him and replied "So you talk, interesting. Well, before you start demanding, you should at least get my name, and I'm not your servant. So you could at least treat me with some respect, if you haven't noticed, I had to do my job, and you weren't complaining before. Oh that's right, you were sleeping. And you look very cute when you sleep, did you know that? You seem much more nicer." The blond teen, grinned at Heero teasingly, his anger quickly melted into teasing.
Heero was surprised, he never knew a servant to be so outspoken and he never really had people talk like that to him before. Then Heero seemed to realize that that the boy saw him sleeping and he blushed. No one really watched him sleep before, at least he never thought anyone did. The blond teen winked at him and continued on with his duties. After a long moment, Heero found his voice again and murmured
"Um.. well if your not my servant. Who's servant are you? And could I have your name?" Heero asked adverting his gaze, he never asked people for things before, it was always demanding but there was something about this boy that he didn't understand.
Quatre smiled and answered "Well, I'm Mrs. Medlock's servant, I was sent to give you breakfast. You must be starving for you slept for the entire day yesterday. Oh and you can call me Quatre, everyone else does." Heero nodded his head slowly then glared at him.
"So your Mrs. Medlock's servant, I'm surprised she cared. Well, if your not done chatting away, Could I have my breakfast?" Snapped Heero as Quatre handed him the tray and Heero grabbed it and pulled off the top.
Heero's stomach growled and Quatre laughed. Heero glared at him with such cold eyes, that Quatre shuddered and left the boy alone. Heero sighed and relaxed as he watched Quatre leave. He inhaled the intoxicated mouth- watering food on the tray and chewed it down. Eating every last drop. It happens when, you don't eat anything for a while, you get so hungry that as soon as food is laid on your plate, you attack it and eat it all. No matter what it is.
After Heero was done eating, he set the tray aside on the little table, near his bed and slowly got out of bed and walked towards the window. Suddenly curiously, he looked through the parted curtains, through the window and was surprised to see grassy-green plains and mountains in the distance, to anyone else, it would be beautiful and interesting. To Heero, it was completely boring. The door opened and Heero stiffened and turned around to find Quatre holding a package in his arms, staring at him. "Nice scenery huh?" queried Quatre as he entered.
Quatre put the package gently at the end of the bed as he fixed the bed neatly and picked up the tray and put it on his cart. Heero glared at the teen and replied coldly "You got to be kidding me." Quatre shook his head and signalling Heero over to him. "You gotta be more open than that, if you wanna make a friend. And trust me, you do want to HAVE friends okay," invoiced Quatre as he opened the package and led out the black outfit on the bed. "Well, here's your new clothes. *Heero stared at him
"Huh? What are you waiting for? For me, to dress you or something." Heero blushed "Oh well, your gonna have to dress yourself and accept the clothes even, though you'll probably looked better in green or blue." Informed Quatre as he gave Heero a kind sympathetic smile, before leaving the boy to dress.
Heero glared at the door as if it would burst into flames, if he stared at it hard enough. Heero changed his clothes quickly. He looked into the mirror and realized he actually looked good in black even though, he dreaded being forced to wear the color. He tried to fix his hair with no luck and looked around for a brush to at least, try to make look a little decent. After a tough fight, he managed to find a brush and make his hair presentable. Then Heero took a deep breath and left his room, only to bump into a person a second later. "Oh dear, I'm sorry. I'm in a hurry so I'm better be off. Bye now" muttered a ragged breath of a woman who when, Heero looked up, turned out to be a doctor. The woman rushed pass him. And for a minute, Heero wanted to race after her and demand her to tell him, what's she's up to. But he shut down the urge and walked downstairs, to be greeted by Mrs. Medlock and another lecture of how to behave and what he can do and can't.
-Days passed and each day was more boring than the next. For the whole week, Heero was struck in the house for it rained the whole week. The same ritual with Quatre happened each day, each time an argument and each time the boy teased him and smiled with him. Soon enough, Heero almost got accustomed to him, and actually wanted to smile back at him. But he still held himself back. Soon enough, there was a sunny day and he was no longer bored. For kindly, Quatre informed him, that he could go outside and explore the gardens. This is where Heero met the gardener Hilde.
"Hello I'm Hilde, you must be Heero. Well, enjoy yourself Heero and be careful along the trails, you don't want to trip and hurt yourself now? Oh, don't go looking for trouble and stay clear of the pack of vines and weeds at the end of the trail." Hilde warned Heero as she saw walk through the passageway. As Heero disappeared from her view, she laughed and shook her head. "He's so much like his cousin, I'm surprised he doesn't scorn at every woman, he sees." Hilde murmured to herself as she heard a bird chirping in the distance. "Trowa's here, Quatre will be happy, but I wonder if that playful silent boy can earn a smile from that stern boy's face." Hilde muttered as she watched the bird fly away. If she paid close attention to the bird, she would have seen the bird fly to the exact location, Heero was. Also as if it was destined.
Heero walked down the path, his fists quenched. Who does that Hilde, think she is, pestering him with warnings as if he's some stupid kid. I don't need another Mrs. Medlock, I need a friend. Huh? Where did that come from? Oh well. Huh, where's that beautiful singing coming from? Heero thought as his thoughts were pleasantly interrupted by a robin, singing out its heart. Heero stood still, and listened to its beautiful melody then, it seemed to have stopped Heero and started chirping at him. Heero actually laughed and still caught in the bird's song spell, he chirped along and followed the bird as it hopped from branch to branch till, he came to a clearing. There laying on a bench was a flute. Heero walked slowly over to the flute and picked it up. Without thinking, he played a little tune on it. Then suddenly, it seemed the pathway came to life for, animals came out of their hiding places, sang along with his melody in their own language and tune.
Heero soon lost himself, in playing the flute and didn't notice a boy walking near him. The boy walking towards Heero, had sparkling emerald eyes and watched Heero curiously. As the boy was about to touch Heero's shoulder, he broke a branch. Prussian eyes met dazed emerald ones. Heero gasped in shock, dropping the flute in the process and ran for his life. Never looking back, to see the hurt look on the boy's face and seeing Quatre entering the passageway and distracting Trowa with other means, that wrapped the boy's mind from the mysterious Prussian-eyes youth who played his flute.
Heero kept running, never looking back. He passed Hilde and Hilde looked up and called after him. "It looks like you met Trowa!" Heero just kept running, not even taking a moment to glare at the laughing woman. As Heero entered the manor, he ran towards his room. He locked the door and raced towards the bed to snuggle under the blankets.A strange drain came over him and Heero closed his eyes falling in to a deep sleepHe was woken hours later, he wasn't sure what but as he laid there staring up at his ceiling he heard low moans, and what seemed to be sobs.
Heero hated to admit it, but he was scared, this manor was so creepy and old. He was sure the place had ghosts. And he didn't want to face any. He was terrorized of ghosts, anything surrounding the UN-dead. Anything surrounding death, cause he lost everything he had, because of deaths. Heero put a pillow over his head and tried to fall back asleep. He made a vow as he plugged his ears, that he'll find out who making the noise, who that person was in the garden, and what's at the end of the pathway, that Hilde didn't seem to want him to see. Heero whimpered as he heard thunder outside and the wailing and moaning seemed to have gotten louder. Heero closed his teary eyes for a moment then opened them again, this time his eyes were cold and emotionless. He was going to be brave and he won't act his age again.
To Be Continued…

Mondo: Why would you want to add a fruit to a story?
Tash: I'm not even going to answer that, maybe I should have got an older muse.
Mondo: *still looks confused* Huh?
Chapter 3: The Crying In the Corridor
As Quatre entered his room as usual with the breakfast tray. Heero was filled with questions. "Quatre, What were you doing yesterday? What's at the end of the pathway? And who is making those noises at night?" Heero queried as the now, blushing blond teen carefully put down the tray. "Well, I visited a friend. I think it would be better, if you asked Ms. Medlock about the pathway or find out yourself. And noises? I have no idea, what your talking about." replied Quatre as he backed towards the door as Heero cornered him. "You're lying. There's no possible way, anyone could sleep through that noise unless, you don't sleep here." stated Heero calmly as Quatre blushed once again. "I'm sorry Heero, but I can't speak to you about the secrets stored within this manor." Quatre paused. "It's not my place to say." He murmured quietly as his blue eyes met the cold prussian ones glaring at him.
"At least tell me, if there's anyone who stays within the forest pathway." Heero asked gently. Quatre smiled as he finds himself lost in thought, thinking of Trowa. Heero finally loses his patience with Quatre and pushed him out. After Heero had finished eating, he went outside, following the pathway once again. This time, Hilde wasn't there. Which was very peculiar, since Hilde was always there, taking care of the plants as if they were her children. If Heero knew his emotions, he would have known he was actually little worried about the absence of Hilde. Heero just shook his head and pushed his raw emotions down and continued to follow the pathway till, he met with a familiar bird.
Heero smiled as he saw the robin perched on a branch, right above the bench, which he found the flute. Prussian eyes scanned the area, looking for any sign of the person that startled him out of his music, frenzy. Heero sighed and continued down the pathway, not noticing the emerald eyes following his every moment and the robin jumping from branch to branch to keep up with him.Finally, Heero reached his destination. The trail ended at huge wall, covered with vines and ivy. Heero stepped closer to the wall, and dug through the vines carefully till, he found what looked to be a hidden wall-door. Heero's eyes widened with disbelief and curiosity struck him. Heero looked around the clearing, and got on his hands and knees, looked for any sign of a level or some sort of key. With no luck, Heero sat down with his weight pushed against the locked garden gate.
It must be a garden for Mrs. Medlock mentioned there were gardens, surrounding the manor. But why is it locked? Why is it hidden? Where's the key? Why would someone create a garden of secret, and never return? It made no sense, what would cause a person to abandon their own garden of solitude? I would love to have a place of my own to lay in peace and quiet. To read my books and lay in the harmony of flowers. I hate to admit it, but I do have a weakness for flowers. From now on, this garden is my secret and I'll find the key and make it mine. First thing tomorrow, I'll ask Hilde for advice for tending a garden then, I get as much information as possible from books and learn some of the secrets of this manor. Why I'm so obsessed with this garden? What's wrong with me?
Heero pondered as he cleared his troubling thoughts and sat up. It was getting late; he could see the sun setting. Heero ran through the pathway and collided with someone and fell down. "I'm sorry." The person whispered as he helped Heero up. Emerald eyes met Prussian ones. Heero pushed the hand away, that was helping him stand and backed away. The emerald eyed boy was dressed in rags, he had bunch of tools hanging on him, and the one thing that caught his eye, was the flute that sticking out of the teen's pocket. This boy looked about Quatre's age. Heero glared at the boy and shouted "Who are you?! What are you doing here?" The teen flinched and answered politely "My name is Trowa, I live here. You play beautifully." Heero blushed as he realized that Trowa was the one who had witnessed him playing the flute.
"I guess since you told me your name, I'll tell you mine. I'm Heero Yuy. Now get out my way!" retorted Heero as he pushed the taller boy away from him and ran towards the manor, never turning back to see that Trowa was laughing at him. Trowa watched the interesting boy run into the manor with a smirk. "Quatre was right, that boy is unique, maybe he'll be the one to open certain people's eyes and release the secrets. I'll guess I'll have to wait and find out." Trowa muttered to himself. "You mean we'll have to wait and find out." corrected Quatre as he embraced his smirking lover. Trowa and Quatre looked at each other. A radiant smile appeared on their faces as they held hands and disappeared down the pathway. If Heero witnessed this, he would have figured out, where Quatre has been hiding and been very upset. Lucky for them, Heero was too busy racing to his room before, Mrs. Medlock came to check on him.
-Moments later.
Heero was tucked in his bed, after another argument with Mrs. Medlock, he was forbidden to leave his room till the next day. Fat chance, Heero wasn't going to wait till the next day to find out where, that moaning was coming from. He was going to find out today. Heero waited silently, for the moaning and groaning to start. Finally, as Heero's eyes were closing, a loud scream echoed through the halls. Heero quickly got out of bed and opened his door. Silently he crept through the halls, following the sounds of echoing through the house. He came to dark area, as hard as Heero tried to see through the darkness, it was no use. A bright light caught his eye, it was light from a candle being held by Mrs. Medlock as a secret door opened and the complaining women emerged. Heero had to fight the urge to laugh.
As soon as Mrs. Medlock left, Heero walked towards the secret door and went through it. A bright light coming from a door, attracted him to the presence of an another, the moaning and screaming seemed to get louder till, he was right in front of the door, the screaming and moaning morphed into words. "Now Duo, stay still and take your medicine." A female voice murmured. "Nooooo! Stay away from me, I don't want it. Don't stick with that!!!" A voice pleaded. Heero felt an ache in his heart, he felt compassion towards that pleading voice. This person deserved justice, it seemed someone was trying to kill it. Without thinking, Heero raced through the door to see a frustrated nurse trying to give a struggling boy some medicine. The boy looked about his age and as Heero walked closer. The boy's features became clearer, the boy had long chestnut hair that was tied into a braid, had a pale complexion but it seemed to work well for him cause it acted to his exotic beauty, and as the frightened eyes peered at him, Heero's breath caught in his throat, the boy's eyes were violet and he lost himself in those eyes.
The nurse turned towards Heero and smiled grimly. "I'm sorry for all this. My name is Sally, I'm the boy's nurse, but the he refuses to take any medicine like he wants to get sicker and die. I just don't know how to deal with him. Usually, I'll never do this, but I can't take it anymore, please help me. Try to give the medicine to him, for me. I appreciate your help Heero." Nurse requested, still stunned by his own thoughts and the boy's beauty, Heero nodded his head. He was little shocked by the Nurse knowing his name but he guessed that everyone here knew about his presence. The Nurse turned to go before leaving, she handed Heero the medicine and was about to show him how to use it, when Heero glared at her and shook his head. The Nurse walked off after, giving Heero plenty of gratitude.
As soon as the nurse left, and closed the door softly behind her. The beautiful violet-eyed boy turned towards him and gave him a friendly grin with a hint, of sadness within it. "Hi, my name is Duo. I guess you're my new nurse." Announced Duo loudly and happily. Heero glared at the boy. "You were acting so stupid. Why are you so afraid of shots if you know, you need them?" Snapped an irrigated Heero was a bit surprised by the boy's attitude, usually sick people were grim and knew their fate. He had never met a happy sick person before.
Violet eyes darken and looked into confused prussian ones. "I don't need the medicine, I'm not afraid of death. I am death." replied Duo calmly while Heero gasped in surprise when the boy started coughing violently. Heero carefully, gently pierced Duo's arm with the needle, that the medicine was stored it, it flowed easily out of the container and into Duo's body. Immediately, Duo's coughing fit stopped and he collapsed.
Heero tucked Duo in and surprised himself by kissing Duo gently on the forehead. "You shouldn't risk your life, just take the medicine. There's always a reason for living." Whispered Heero into Duo's ear before, he left the room. Duo watched the cute boy with messy brown hair and emotionless prussian eyes leave his room. He sighed in contempt, if he'll get see Heero once again, maybe his life would be worth living. Soon Duo grew tired, the medicine drawing it's affect and he fell into a deep slumber. His dreams filled of the mysterious cute boy who, saved his life and might even be able to save his spirit.
As Heero made his way back to his room and cuddled in his sheets. A smile made it way across his face. What a day, maybe it won't be so bad staying here after all. Heero thought as images of bright violet eyes peering at him intently flashed through his mind. Heero fell asleep with his first genuine smile on his face. For once, for the first time, he stayed into the creepy, lonely old manor. He was looking forward to the next day.

Prologue
This story begins in a rich residence, where the Yuy family lived. This family was well known for its beauty and elegance. For Relena, the Lady of the house was beautiful, with her golden hair and black eyes. Lady Relena always wore the finest clothes and always had everyone in awe, and attracted many suitors of many ages. Unfortunately, Lady Relena was married to Lord Odin, who was the owner of the mansion. While Relena was known for her beauty, Odin was well known, for being a gorgeous gentlemen. Lord Odin was always praised for his extensive glamorous galas. Though the Yuy couple were a perfect match by looks and brains, there was something missing in their lives.
This lacking feeling nagged the couple for a while, till a simple solution was found. The Yuy couple would have a baby and close the gap within their hearts. The whole town was surprised at this predicament, no one could think of the maiden Relena as a pregnant mother. Though Lady Relena had her doubts, she still went with her heart, and was soon announced pregnant. Lord Odin, was overjoyed and had a large celebration for his love and their child. Soon the months went by, and their newborn was in their arms, here is where the trouble began. The newborn baby was adorable, there was no doubt in the couple's minds that the baby would make them proud and increase their status among the people. Their happiness was short-lived.
The Yuy's couple baby's name was Heero. The little baby boy was nothing, but trouble, crying constantly and never seemed to sleep. Still Relena and Odin had faith in their child and knew their pain and suffering would be worth the honour, the baby would bestrode on them. As the years passed, the baby Heero grew up into a cold, stubborn, un-loving, spoiled brat. For when the boy reached age three, the Yuy's couple realized their son was different from them. Their son Heero, had no resemblance to them, with his dark messy hair that couldn't be fixed neatly by any means and his deep prussian eyes which held little or no emotion. Since, Heero held nothing special in his parent's opinion and was weird in others, the boy became ugly in his parent's eyes. Since the Yuy's couple was ashamed of their son, they kept the young boy hidden especially, at parties and gave the boy his own servant named Treize.
Since Heero barely saw his parents and the parents never acknowledged him, he became cold and distant. He was cruel to everyone around him and never smiled or even had, a friend in his life ever. As always, his parents were having another party, which meant, he was locked in his room all evening and the only person he'll speak to or see, would be his servant Treize. As usual, Heero snuck a glass of wine from, the dinning table and took a sip as he entered his room. For some reason, the wine made him sleepy and light headed and before he knew it, he was fast asleep, cuddled in the blankets of his bed.
Chapter One - No One Left
One scorching morning, Heero was awakened by strange woman in her bedroom. The woman gasped in shock as she saw him open his eyes and glare at her with his cold prussian eyes. The woman froze and stared at the boy before, running out the room. Heero rubbed his tired eyes and narrowed them as he heard voices in the hall.
"There's a boy in there."
"What! I thought the Yuy's son died."
"So did I."
"Everyone must have died, go fetch the boy, it's deadly, to stay here."
"Yes I shall"
A woman ran back into Heero's room, "Come boy, it's time to go. Come with me, hurry come on now!" The woman called out as she headed out the door. Heero watched the woman, flee with her companion. Heero didn't have long to ponder the strange woman, for a strange tiredness provoked him and his eyes soon closed.
Everyone seemed to have forgotten about the young boy who was lost in his sleep, in his bedroom till, one day when men entered the empty mansion. Heero awoke from his sleep again, and looked about as he heard voices talking.
"Look at this place, it's a mess."
"It's such a tragedy, what happened to the Yuy's."
"Yes, but there seems to be more to the story than known, the Yuy's actually had a child"
"Really?"
"I wondered what happened to that child."
One of men entered the room, looking around and his eyes widened as he came across Heero sitting up, in his bed. "A Child in here, how horrible!" The man stated as he stared into Heero's cold eyes. " My name is Heero Yuy. I fell asleep when everyone had cholera and I just fully woke up. Where's everyone? Why is it so quiet? Where's my servant Treize?" queried Heero to the man's remark. Another man entered the room, he seemed to an officer. "You were forgotten little one, there is no one to answer your calls, and everyone is dead. Your parents died and their servants, whoever were left, must have fled. I'm sorry but there's nothing left for you here, come follow me." The Officer explained as he helped Heero out of bed and took him to Catherine, the local keeper of the orphanage.
For a while, Heero stayed in Catherine's care. The woman was nice but Heero never opened up to her or talked to the sweet woman. For he disliked the other children there, since Heero wasn't sociable. He never talked to anyone and whoever actually tried to talk to Heero, always regretted the decision for the boy was just plain cruel to them. Soon Heero was given a nickname by the children of the orphanage, "The Tyrant." Heero ignored their name-calling even though it was very annoying, he tolerated for he knew that in time he'd escape the kids and their taunts.
Then one day, Catherine informed him gently that he was going to be taken his cousin's Wufei Craven's manor. Catherine gave Heero, a tearful goodbye and even embraced him before, he left the orphanage. Heero even surprised the woman by kissing her cheek and muttering farewell as he walked alongside Dorothy Medlock, the woman who would be escorting him to his cousin's manor. Though Heero didn't know what to expect, he couldn't stop the feeling of dread that he was going walk into something big, that he wasn't ready for.
" Hello I'm Mrs. Medlock, you may call me Dorothy for now. Let me warn you before, you say anything. You shall be on your best behaviour and you don't need to be worried, you won't get to see your cousin. You will be told which rooms, you can roam and which you cannot. You'll have play by yourself and look out for yourself. There will be gardens, but don't roam around too much. Mr.Craven won't like it." Explained Dorothy as Heero glared at her and followed her into a carriage. As soon as they were comfortable inside. Heero looked out the window, and stayed silent, throughout the entire ride.
Soon after a long trip, the pair soon arrived at the Manor and entered it. An old man was waiting for them and informed "You shall take him to his room. He doesn't want to see him and he's leaving in the morning." Dorothy stared at the man coldly and replied, "I know what's expected of me." The old man looked at her. "Your job is to make sure he's not disturbed and doesn't see things, he wouldn't want to see." The Old man murmured. After this was said, Dorothy led Heero Yuy up a flight of stairs to his room where a fireplace was lit. "This is the room, you shall stay in and live in. Don't forget it!" Dorothy practically roared at Heero as she stalked off and closed the door behind her. Heero was pooped and as soon as Dorothy left, he relaxed and lied on his new bed, to fall into a dreamless sleep.

Chapter 2 : Quatre
A young boy with piercing Prussian eyes that were now closed to the world and dark messy brown hair was asleep on his new bed. Trapped in the blankets, he had kicked around the night before. The door opened to his room gently and a teenager with blue eyes, blond hair and a shy smile on his face entered. The blond teen set to his work right away, not taken notice of the boy that was sleeping in the bed. The blond teen unknowingly began to hum as he cleaned the windows and tidied up the place, also putting some flesh flowers in a vase near the bed. As the blond teen, left the room to get the breakfast tray, he didn't notice the young boy stir on his bed.
Heero sat up and rubbed his eyes. (Very kawaii, imagine a chibi-Heero with his hair messier than usual and his eyes big and bright.) He gasped as he looked around at his surroundings. Huh, What happened? Heero pondered as he absentmindedly, scratched his head. Then like a crash of lightning, it suddenly came to him, he realized why this place felt eerie and didn't look familiar because, he had a new home now, he was now living with his cousin Wufei. Heero sighed and laid back down, staring up at the ceiling. The silence was disturbed by something very large and very near.
Heero blinked than sat up and turned towards the intruder. Cold Prussian eyes met Warm blue ones. Heero gasped in surprise, walking through the doorway was a blond teenager who was dressed in servant clothes. He seemed very young to be a servant, Is this why my cousin wanted me here? To slave for him? Heero thought as he managed to settle his thoughts and glared at the beaming boy walking in. What's he's so happy about? Is he laughing at me? Why..... that little, well he's taller than me so logically he's not smaller so, I guess I just have to call him a jerk for now even, if he looks friendly and he kind of cute. Heero felt his cheeks begin to warm as he finished his thoughts and quickly averted his gaze from the boys and turned away.
The room was silent as the blond teen carried a tray into the room and put it on the table, humming all the way. (I guess the room wasn't totally silent, oh well. You guys know what I mean) Heero finally broke the silence "Could you Stop the racket?! Who gave you the right to enter my room, without permission?!" demanded Heero, his eyes meeting the bright blue ones again.
The blond teen frowned at him and replied "So you talk, interesting. Well, before you start demanding, you should at least get my name, and I'm not your servant. So you could at least treat me with some respect, if you haven't noticed, I had to do my job, and you weren't complaining before. Oh that's right, you were sleeping. And you look very cute when you sleep, did you know that? You seem much more nicer." The blond teen, grinned at Heero teasingly, his anger quickly melted into teasing.
Heero was surprised, he never knew a servant to be so outspoken and he never really had people talk like that to him before. Then Heero seemed to realize that that the boy saw him sleeping and he blushed. No one really watched him sleep before, at least he never thought anyone did. The blond teen winked at him and continued on with his duties. After a long moment, Heero found his voice again and murmured
"Um.. well if your not my servant. Who's servant are you? And could I have your name?" Heero asked adverting his gaze, he never asked people for things before, it was always demanding but there was something about this boy that he didn't understand.
Quatre smiled and answered "Well, I'm Mrs. Medlock's servant, I was sent to give you breakfast. You must be starving for you slept for the entire day yesterday. Oh and you can call me Quatre, everyone else does." Heero nodded his head slowly then glared at him.
"So your Mrs. Medlock's servant, I'm surprised she cared. Well, if your not done chatting away, Could I have my breakfast?" Snapped Heero as Quatre handed him the tray and Heero grabbed it and pulled off the top.
Heero's stomach growled and Quatre laughed. Heero glared at him with such cold eyes, that Quatre shuddered and left the boy alone. Heero sighed and relaxed as he watched Quatre leave. He inhaled the intoxicated mouth- watering food on the tray and chewed it down. Eating every last drop. It happens when, you don't eat anything for a while, you get so hungry that as soon as food is laid on your plate, you attack it and eat it all. No matter what it is.
After Heero was done eating, he set the tray aside on the little table, near his bed and slowly got out of bed and walked towards the window. Suddenly curiously, he looked through the parted curtains, through the window and was surprised to see grassy-green plains and mountains in the distance, to anyone else, it would be beautiful and interesting. To Heero, it was completely boring. The door opened and Heero stiffened and turned around to find Quatre holding a package in his arms, staring at him. "Nice scenery huh?" queried Quatre as he entered.
Quatre put the package gently at the end of the bed as he fixed the bed neatly and picked up the tray and put it on his cart. Heero glared at the teen and replied coldly "You got to be kidding me." Quatre shook his head and signalling Heero over to him. "You gotta be more open than that, if you wanna make a friend. And trust me, you do want to HAVE friends okay," invoiced Quatre as he opened the package and led out the black outfit on the bed. "Well, here's your new clothes. *Heero stared at him
"Huh? What are you waiting for? For me, to dress you or something." Heero blushed "Oh well, your gonna have to dress yourself and accept the clothes even, though you'll probably looked better in green or blue." Informed Quatre as he gave Heero a kind sympathetic smile, before leaving the boy to dress.
Heero glared at the door as if it would burst into flames, if he stared at it hard enough. Heero changed his clothes quickly. He looked into the mirror and realized he actually looked good in black even though, he dreaded being forced to wear the color. He tried to fix his hair with no luck and looked around for a brush to at least, try to make look a little decent. After a tough fight, he managed to find a brush and make his hair presentable. Then Heero took a deep breath and left his room, only to bump into a person a second later. "Oh dear, I'm sorry. I'm in a hurry so I'm better be off. Bye now" muttered a ragged breath of a woman who when, Heero looked up, turned out to be a doctor. The woman rushed pass him. And for a minute, Heero wanted to race after her and demand her to tell him, what's she's up to. But he shut down the urge and walked downstairs, to be greeted by Mrs. Medlock and another lecture of how to behave and what he can do and can't.
-Days passed and each day was more boring than the next. For the whole week, Heero was struck in the house for it rained the whole week. The same ritual with Quatre happened each day, each time an argument and each time the boy teased him and smiled with him. Soon enough, Heero almost got accustomed to him, and actually wanted to smile back at him. But he still held himself back. Soon enough, there was a sunny day and he was no longer bored. For kindly, Quatre informed him, that he could go outside and explore the gardens. This is where Heero met the gardener Hilde.
"Hello I'm Hilde, you must be Heero. Well, enjoy yourself Heero and be careful along the trails, you don't want to trip and hurt yourself now? Oh, don't go looking for trouble and stay clear of the pack of vines and weeds at the end of the trail." Hilde warned Heero as she saw walk through the passageway. As Heero disappeared from her view, she laughed and shook her head. "He's so much like his cousin, I'm surprised he doesn't scorn at every woman, he sees." Hilde murmured to herself as she heard a bird chirping in the distance. "Trowa's here, Quatre will be happy, but I wonder if that playful silent boy can earn a smile from that stern boy's face." Hilde muttered as she watched the bird fly away. If she paid close attention to the bird, she would have seen the bird fly to the exact location, Heero was. Also as if it was destined.
Heero walked down the path, his fists quenched. Who does that Hilde, think she is, pestering him with warnings as if he's some stupid kid. I don't need another Mrs. Medlock, I need a friend. Huh? Where did that come from? Oh well. Huh, where's that beautiful singing coming from? Heero thought as his thoughts were pleasantly interrupted by a robin, singing out its heart. Heero stood still, and listened to its beautiful melody then, it seemed to have stopped Heero and started chirping at him. Heero actually laughed and still caught in the bird's song spell, he chirped along and followed the bird as it hopped from branch to branch till, he came to a clearing. There laying on a bench was a flute. Heero walked slowly over to the flute and picked it up. Without thinking, he played a little tune on it. Then suddenly, it seemed the pathway came to life for, animals came out of their hiding places, sang along with his melody in their own language and tune.
Heero soon lost himself, in playing the flute and didn't notice a boy walking near him. The boy walking towards Heero, had sparkling emerald eyes and watched Heero curiously. As the boy was about to touch Heero's shoulder, he broke a branch. Prussian eyes met dazed emerald ones. Heero gasped in shock, dropping the flute in the process and ran for his life. Never looking back, to see the hurt look on the boy's face and seeing Quatre entering the passageway and distracting Trowa with other means, that wrapped the boy's mind from the mysterious Prussian-eyes youth who played his flute.
Heero kept running, never looking back. He passed Hilde and Hilde looked up and called after him. "It looks like you met Trowa!" Heero just kept running, not even taking a moment to glare at the laughing woman. As Heero entered the manor, he ran towards his room. He locked the door and raced towards the bed to snuggle under the blankets.A strange drain came over him and Heero closed his eyes falling in to a deep sleepHe was woken hours later, he wasn't sure what but as he laid there staring up at his ceiling he heard low moans, and what seemed to be sobs.
Heero hated to admit it, but he was scared, this manor was so creepy and old. He was sure the place had ghosts. And he didn't want to face any. He was terrorized of ghosts, anything surrounding the UN-dead. Anything surrounding death, cause he lost everything he had, because of deaths. Heero put a pillow over his head and tried to fall back asleep. He made a vow as he plugged his ears, that he'll find out who making the noise, who that person was in the garden, and what's at the end of the pathway, that Hilde didn't seem to want him to see. Heero whimpered as he heard thunder outside and the wailing and moaning seemed to have gotten louder. Heero closed his teary eyes for a moment then opened them again, this time his eyes were cold and emotionless. He was going to be brave and he won't act his age again.

Chapter 3: The Crying In the Corridor
As Quatre entered his room as usual with the breakfast tray. Heero was filled with questions. "Quatre, What were you doing yesterday? What's at the end of the pathway? And who is making those noises at night?" Heero queried as the now, blushing blond teen carefully put down the tray. "Well, I visited a friend. I think it would be better, if you asked Ms. Medlock about the pathway or find out yourself. And noises? I have no idea, what your talking about." replied Quatre as he backed towards the door as Heero cornered him. "You're lying. There's no possible way, anyone could sleep through that noise unless, you don't sleep here." stated Heero calmly as Quatre blushed once again. "I'm sorry Heero, but I can't speak to you about the secrets stored within this manor." Quatre paused. "It's not my place to say." He murmured quietly as his blue eyes met the cold prussian ones glaring at him.
"At least tell me, if there's anyone who stays within the forest pathway." Heero asked gently. Quatre smiled as he finds himself lost in thought, thinking of Trowa. Heero finally loses his patience with Quatre and pushed him out. After Heero had finished eating, he went outside, following the pathway once again. This time, Hilde wasn't there. Which was very peculiar, since Hilde was always there, taking care of the plants as if they were her children. If Heero knew his emotions, he would have known he was actually little worried about the absence of Hilde. Heero just shook his head and pushed his raw emotions down and continued to follow the pathway till, he met with a familiar bird.
Heero smiled as he saw the robin perched on a branch, right above the bench, which he found the flute. Prussian eyes scanned the area, looking for any sign of the person that startled him out of his music, frenzy. Heero sighed and continued down the pathway, not noticing the emerald eyes following his every moment and the robin jumping from branch to branch to keep up with him.Finally, Heero reached his destination. The trail ended at huge wall, covered with vines and ivy. Heero stepped closer to the wall, and dug through the vines carefully till, he found what looked to be a hidden wall-door. Heero's eyes widened with disbelief and curiosity struck him. Heero looked around the clearing, and got on his hands and knees, looked for any sign of a level or some sort of key. With no luck, Heero sat down with his weight pushed against the locked garden gate.
It must be a garden for Mrs. Medlock mentioned there were gardens, surrounding the manor. But why is it locked? Why is it hidden? Where's the key? Why would someone create a garden of secret, and never return? It made no sense, what would cause a person to abandon their own garden of solitude? I would love to have a place of my own to lay in peace and quiet. To read my books and lay in the harmony of flowers. I hate to admit it, but I do have a weakness for flowers. From now on, this garden is my secret and I'll find the key and make it mine. First thing tomorrow, I'll ask Hilde for advice for tending a garden then, I get as much information as possible from books and learn some of the secrets of this manor. Why I'm so obsessed with this garden? What's wrong with me?
Heero pondered as he cleared his troubling thoughts and sat up. It was getting late; he could see the sun setting. Heero ran through the pathway and collided with someone and fell down. "I'm sorry." The person whispered as he helped Heero up. Emerald eyes met Prussian ones. Heero pushed the hand away, that was helping him stand and backed away. The emerald eyed boy was dressed in rags, he had bunch of tools hanging on him, and the one thing that caught his eye, was the flute that sticking out of the teen's pocket. This boy looked about Quatre's age. Heero glared at the boy and shouted "Who are you?! What are you doing here?" The teen flinched and answered politely "My name is Trowa, I live here. You play beautifully." Heero blushed as he realized that Trowa was the one who had witnessed him playing the flute.
"I guess since you told me your name, I'll tell you mine. I'm Heero Yuy. Now get out my way!" retorted Heero as he pushed the taller boy away from him and ran towards the manor, never turning back to see that Trowa was laughing at him. Trowa watched the interesting boy run into the manor with a smirk. "Quatre was right, that boy is unique, maybe he'll be the one to open certain people's eyes and release the secrets. I'll guess I'll have to wait and find out." Trowa muttered to himself. "You mean we'll have to wait and find out." corrected Quatre as he embraced his smirking lover. Trowa and Quatre looked at each other. A radiant smile appeared on their faces as they held hands and disappeared down the pathway. If Heero witnessed this, he would have figured out, where Quatre has been hiding and been very upset. Lucky for them, Heero was too busy racing to his room before, Mrs. Medlock came to check on him.
-Moments later.
Heero was tucked in his bed, after another argument with Mrs. Medlock, he was forbidden to leave his room till the next day. Fat chance, Heero wasn't going to wait till the next day to find out where, that moaning was coming from. He was going to find out today. Heero waited silently, for the moaning and groaning to start. Finally, as Heero's eyes were closing, a loud scream echoed through the halls. Heero quickly got out of bed and opened his door. Silently he crept through the halls, following the sounds of echoing through the house. He came to dark area, as hard as Heero tried to see through the darkness, it was no use. A bright light caught his eye, it was light from a candle being held by Mrs. Medlock as a secret door opened and the complaining women emerged. Heero had to fight the urge to laugh.
As soon as Mrs. Medlock left, Heero walked towards the secret door and went through it. A bright light coming from a door, attracted him to the presence of an another, the moaning and screaming seemed to get louder till, he was right in front of the door, the screaming and moaning morphed into words. "Now Duo, stay still and take your medicine." A female voice murmured. "Nooooo! Stay away from me, I don't want it. Don't stick with that!!!" A voice pleaded. Heero felt an ache in his heart, he felt compassion towards that pleading voice. This person deserved justice, it seemed someone was trying to kill it. Without thinking, Heero raced through the door to see a frustrated nurse trying to give a struggling boy some medicine. The boy looked about his age and as Heero walked closer. The boy's features became clearer, the boy had long chestnut hair that was tied into a braid, had a pale complexion but it seemed to work well for him cause it acted to his exotic beauty, and as the frightened eyes peered at him, Heero's breath caught in his throat, the boy's eyes were violet and he lost himself in those eyes.
The nurse turned towards Heero and smiled grimly. "I'm sorry for all this. My name is Sally, I'm the boy's nurse, but the he refuses to take any medicine like he wants to get sicker and die. I just don't know how to deal with him. Usually, I'll never do this, but I can't take it anymore, please help me. Try to give the medicine to him, for me. I appreciate your help Heero." Nurse requested, still stunned by his own thoughts and the boy's beauty, Heero nodded his head. He was little shocked by the Nurse knowing his name but he guessed that everyone here knew about his presence. The Nurse turned to go before leaving, she handed Heero the medicine and was about to show him how to use it, when Heero glared at her and shook his head. The Nurse walked off after, giving Heero plenty of gratitude.
As soon as the nurse left, and closed the door softly behind her. The beautiful violet-eyed boy turned towards him and gave him a friendly grin with a hint, of sadness within it. "Hi, my name is Duo. I guess you're my new nurse." Announced Duo loudly and happily. Heero glared at the boy. "You were acting so stupid. Why are you so afraid of shots if you know, you need them?" Snapped an irrigated Heero was a bit surprised by the boy's attitude, usually sick people were grim and knew their fate. He had never met a happy sick person before.
Violet eyes darken and looked into confused prussian ones. "I don't need the medicine, I'm not afraid of death. I am death." replied Duo calmly while Heero gasped in surprise when the boy started coughing violently. Heero carefully, gently pierced Duo's arm with the needle, that the medicine was stored it, it flowed easily out of the container and into Duo's body. Immediately, Duo's coughing fit stopped and he collapsed.
Heero tucked Duo in and surprised himself by kissing Duo gently on the forehead. "You shouldn't risk your life, just take the medicine. There's always a reason for living." Whispered Heero into Duo's ear before, he left the room. Duo watched the cute boy with messy brown hair and emotionless prussian eyes leave his room. He sighed in contempt, if he'll get see Heero once again, maybe his life would be worth living. Soon Duo grew tired, the medicine drawing it's affect and he fell into a deep slumber. His dreams filled of the mysterious cute boy who, saved his life and might even be able to save his spirit.
As Heero made his way back to his room and cuddled in his sheets. A smile made it way across his face. What a day, maybe it won't be so bad staying here after all. Heero thought as images of bright violet eyes peering at him intently flashed through his mind. Heero fell asleep with his first genuine smile on his face. For once, for the first time, he stayed into the creepy, lonely old manor. He was looking forward to the next day.
