Soul Keys
Chapter 7
Duo waited patiently when Heero entered the room. "What is it, Duo?" Heero asked, his eyes widened slightly by wonderment.
"There's information about your beast in here now." Duo said, holding up his book which was open.
"Why is this so signifigant?" Heero asked.
"Because it means your beast spirit will soon be fully settled into it's new area, it should start communicating with you in a couple days." Duo replied.
Heero held up his own book. "Ah, all the information that you'll need to communicate should be in there." Duo replied.
"I'm going to bed, good- night." Heero replied, slipping into his bedroom. He fell asleep instantly one of those no dreams, black hole kind of sleep.
'Wakey!' Heero bolted when he heared the voice speak.
It seemed to come from everywhere... Yet, that was impossible, it was only one voice... Then, what Duo had said the night before flooded back into his still half- clogged with sleep mind. Quickly flicking through his book, Heero found what he needed before he concentrated and talked in a quiet voice. "Hello there." Heero stated.
'Oh, awake, you awake!' The voice replied, in a child like manner that caused a small smile to cross his features for a little bit.
"Yes, I'm awake Duo might be too." Heero replied.
'I like him!' It stated and Heero could sense the excitement.
"I'm sure you do," Heero chuckled. "What about his beast?"
'Soul mate!' It stated.
"Oh," Heero stated, blinking as he felt a blush lightly settling upon his cheeks. "And how would you know?"
"Sometimes, Hee- chan, they just know." Duo's voice came from the doorway.
Heero froze, stiffening slightly.
"Well, isn't it obvious? I could hear that thing all the way from in the living room, makes it hard to sleep." Duo stated.
"You could HEAR IT?!" Heero stated, nearly horrified by that face.
"No, more so... Feel it, but, just as irritating I think." Duo sighed.
"Sorry, I didn't realize you were still sleeping." Heero replied.
"Of course not, come on, I've gotten breakfast started, so get dressed and come on." Duo stated, simply.
'Food?' The question took Heero off guard.
"Yes, food." He spoke simply.
"I see you're hungry." Duo replied, walking out.
With that, Heero was left alone to contemplate the child like manner of his beast spirit. Was it because it was so young, or was that really what he had been at one point or was going to become? Or was it that the soul of a person's beast was the opposite of their own? He did not know for sure, maybe he should have asked Duo about it, nah, it could wait. Heero headed towards breakfast.
.....
"Duo, when we land can we go to the beach?" Heero asked, gazing happily out of the space shuttle's window.
"You're spirit's getting antsy isn't it?" Duo asked.
"Well, he can't help it... All that water..." Heero murmered, almost in a trance by the simple joy his beast got out of seeing the oceans.
Duo smiled, and sighed. "I understand... There's nothing like the real thing to them. The skies aren't skies at the colonies, not at all, not like on Earth." Duo stated.
"Hmmm.... Duo? What would a beast spirit know about soul mates?" Heero asked.
".... Hmmm.... Well, from what I've read, they already know which spirit is their match, be it of the same element or not, usually it's two elemental type of creatures. Examples of this can be found in the fact that mine is primarily a wind creature, or it prefers the skies to the ground, yours is a water type of element, it prefers the oceans to the land." Duo stated.
"Which would mean?" Heero asked.
"The water destroys land, that's erosine, the land gives life to plants, the sky controls somewhat the water, and the water somewhat controls the wind, the fire, ho, boy, that loves to burn the plants and scorch the land and fill the sky with smoke, but, it subsides it's rage to the water and depends on the wind for it's fuel. Get what I'm saying? Everything in nature is controlled, balanced by the other elements. Whatever element you are has an exact opposite that fits you perfectly." Duo twirled the end of his braid.
"Like the balance used in some Japanese traditions...." Heero murmered.
"Exactly the point. Even in America, there's this whole belief that the reaction of the enviroment to us will swing back to whack some sense into humanity someday." Duo pointed out.
Heero felt a whispering at the edge of his mind, a small edge of feeling. "Even death and life are balanced.... Unfortunatly." Duo stated, under his breath.
Nothing else was spoken between the two until they landed, and were soon on their way to the beach, Heero allowing Duo to drive, seems as it was his car. Which he prefered to as Ms. Death, Baby, Momma, Honey, Doll, Devil, the list went on and on... " They can repo her, she's my gal! I built her from scratch using parts from the ol' Deathscythe of course," Duo explained as the engine roared to life. This Lil' Darlin' can reach sixty miles in 1.5 and has enough horse power under her hood I could drag race if I wanted."
Heero listened intently to the sounds, it sounded impatient, if it were alive that is.... A screen just above the stereo kicked to life and Heero gazed at it, it was a full systems check of the engine and car's mechanical workings. "Amazing... You said you built this?" Heero asked.
"Took a good year and a half, tons of scrap, and a good amount of trial and error, but she's my baby and no one's gonna take it away from me," Duo stated, hugging the wheel like it were a little kid. "I mean, come on! I worked on all the detailing, and body, I made this specially for me! For a job well done after the war."
Duo then proceeded to not spend anymore time with stalling and pulled out onto the open road. Heero could feel that Duo had put a part of his dreams for the new world into building this car. "Why don't you build cars for a living then? You know, personalize them for other people?" Heero asked.
"But, then it would be work, not the hobby I love so much." Duo pointed out.
"I... I don't have any hobbies..." Heero stated.
"Sure ya do, Hee- chan, like those morning excersises you do and I know you love to go rock climbing too," Duo chuckled. "Don't think that all during the war I wouldn't find this out about you, though, your cooking's really plain, not a good indication of anything but the essentals being plopped upon your plate!"
"I've had food that wasn't all nutrients," Heero huffed. "I've had sushi and seaweed" (actually, it's like potatoe chips in Japan I tried some once, not bad if you tear it into little teenie tiney pieces before eating it.)
"Dude, you've gotta try a real Italian pizza sometime, or a good American made hamburger with fries with a milkshake!" Duo commented, turning on the radio only for background noise. ..... Change of POV coming right up!....
Milliardo followed that infernal Hell- Raiser down the highway and damn it if that baka didn't drive like an accident waiting to happen! Ever since he seen the two at the ice cream parlor on that colony, Milliardo knew, he could feel it eminating from them like smoke on the wind....
Yes, he had his soul beast as well, yes, he did understand what this meant. It was after he'd self destructed that he'd been flung into the void of space, no chance on making it back... Until the key appeared with the book.... He had thought himself to be dreaming., but, apparently, he wasn't as he soon grasped the objects close to him. That was his link to survival, that was how he would survive. Even now, the creature's will to survive was great... 'Pack?' It asked.
"No, not yet, we'll see if they are right to become your pack, my freind." Milliardo replied. End Chapter: This was loooooooooong! (So please gimme a break while I break a few reviewer's necks for this....)Next Chapter: We find out more about
