Chapter 5
"No..." I whispered, shaking my head, "Duo..." She was gone...just like that. I felt tears sting my eyes. My power began swirling around me, in response to the anger and pain I felt at the loss of Duo.
"Bastard..." I snarled, glaring at the murderer. He gave me a cocky smile.
"That's what happens when some bitch gets out of line..." He laughed. I growled low in my throat, I could feel the ghosts that haunted this building flee, as my fury grew.
"Grab that one...well start with him first." The man said. The three 'bears'(1) walked over toward Heero. They grabbed him and surprisingly held him. I could tell that Heero was struggling, I could see his muscles tensing as he tried to escape. But the bears still held him. I blinked as their scent finally came to me, then I swore under my breath at my own stupidity. Weres....they were all bloody shape shifters. No wonder Heero couldn't get away; most shape shifters could bench press cars, so holding down a small teenage boy, even one with as remarkable as Heero, wouldn't be a problem; especially with three of the fucking things! ANd they were BEAR shape-shifter none the less. Thrice damn them all!
"I see you finally noticed what my companions are," the man said, smiling at me, I glared. "I don't know what you are, boy, but I know you're not human, or at least not completely human. Or if you are, you're the most unique bunch of children I've ever encountered. And trust me I've been around a long time. So let's cut this short, what are you?"
"Your death." I hissed, glaring at the man. I saw Trowa glance sharply at me. Well if this fool wanted to know who he was messin' with then he would know...and then he would suffer the consequences. As Duo once said, anyone who sees us has got a date with their maker.
The man glared at me, then he nodded to the three shifters, who while the man had been talking, had hung Yuy from a hook in the ceiling. The 01 pilot hung helplessly a foot off the ground. One of the shifters, the one with black eyes, grinned; then he moved so fast I didn't even catch it, only Heero's sharp intake of breath and the sudden scent of Heero's blood told me the man had moved.
"Who are you?" The man asked again. Heero glared at me. Don't you DARE say a word Winner! I could all but hear him yell at me.
"If I told ya, I'd have to kill you." I stated in my most polite voice. Another nod, another hiss from Heero. Suddenly I felt something, a flash of anger some somewhere...then it was gone. What was it?
"Who are you...?" the man repeated, I starred at him.
"I didn't tell you the first two times, what makes you think I'm going to say something now?" I asked, starring at the man.
"Because your friend's life is on the line."
"Our lives are always on the line. We're soldiers."
"I could arrange for you to never fight again."
"No thank you, I've already experience death once, no need to do so again."
"I wasn't talking about death."
I cocked my head to the side, "Then what were you talking about?"
"I can make you forget....forget that there was a war, forget that you've killed, you can live happy normal lives. Marry, have children, grow old....a normal life..."
I laughed, "My life has never been normal...none of them have been."
The man glared, then a cocky smile spread across his face; "I'll let you think it over a bit and we'll try again later."
Then, all four of them walked out the door, leaving Heero swinging from a hook in the ceiling, dripping blood onto the floor.
"Heero?" Trowa after a few minutes of the Perfect Soldier not moving.
"hn?" Heero responded, looking up at Trowa.
"Status?"
Hero grunted again and shifted his causing his chains to rattle; "I'll manage."
"Can you get loose?" Wufei asked. Heero grabbed a hold of the chains and pulled himself up, inching closer to the ceiling. He reached the top link to unhook his chain; when a blinking flash of light came out of no where. Heero hissed in surprise and pain as pain lanced through it fingers making them go numb. Heero fell only to be jerked roughly as he came to the end of his restraints.
He began swearing in Japanese. I felt a blush rise on my cheeks as I listened to him rant. I never knew that Heero had it in him. Obviously he had been hanging around Duo WAAAAAY to long.
"Damn Heero, you're worse then Duo..." I muttered, pain lancing through my chest at the mention of our late friend. A painful silence filled the room for a long time. Each of us lost in our thoughts.
"Quatre..." Heero said, surprisingly being the first to break the silence, "Did you know about Duo?" I paused a moment before I answered. It was a good question; but there were a number of reactions I would get depending on my answer. However, I didn't want to lie to my friends.
"Yes, I've know since the moment we met."
"How?" Trowa asked; what did they all have the same thing on their mind or something???
"I grew up with 29 sisters....I know a girl when I see one. Even if she's a more of a tom-boy."
"I never even guessed..." Heero said softly, I could tell it bothered him a great deal to know that Duo had hidden herself so well right in front of them. "Sometimes I thought he...er...she...was..."
"Gay?" I said, smirking. Heero nodded his head, as did Trowa and Wufei. I starred at them. Had none of them thought that Duo could have been a girl?
"It was easier for you to believe that Duo was a gay male, then perhaps that Duo was a girl?" I asked; I couldn't believe that the thought had NEVER crossed their minds. "With all the flirting, and hints, the long hair, and the fact that you never saw her without her shirt, and she never went swimming or bathing with you guys???"
You could have heard a pin drop in that room. As it was the sound of blood dripping to the floor sounded like thunder.
"You're kidding right?" I asked; Gods Duo woulda gotten a kick out of how well she had these three fooled. "I had no idea you guys hadn't at least suspected one or twice!"
"You're not helping Winner." Wufei growled, annoyed that I was rubbing his nose in the fact that they were all unobservant.
"We've known Duo over six months, how was he...she able to hide all this from us?" Trowa asked, looking over at me with those forest green eyes of his. I damn near melted. Damn that boy had gorgeous eyes; the rest of him wasn't bad either....Wait what am I thinking? Duo was just killed, the guys are in shock, and I'm thinking about how hot Trowa is....Maybe it's a good thing Duo isn't around at the moment, she'd never let me live this down.
"Quatre?"
I mentally jerk myself out of my ramblings, and look at Trowa. I could see the confusion in his eyes, poor baby. "Duo's been hiding for most of her life Trowa...she's very good at it."
Silence descended again; this time longer. However, Wufei was the one to break the silence this time.
"Quatre, when Duo woke up, why did she call you Odin?"
"Yes, indeed...why would she call you Odin?" The blue-haired murderer said, as the door slide open. Three glares greeted him.
"Do you even know who Odin is?" I asked, as the man walked into the room followed by his hench-men. The man blinked at me, as if I had asked him a hard question.
"A Viking god or something." He stated, waving his hand as if it wasn't important. I smiled; so he didn't know exactly WHO Odin was, nor did this fool realize that I was this god. Idiot.
"Have you given any thought about my offer?" He asked.
"I have no wish to forget my past or my Nataku..." Wufei growled before I could even open my mouth.
"I already have no past, what is there to forget?" Trowa stated.
I grinned, "I will not forget my friends and family."
The man turned to Heero, whose blue eyes narrowed in a death-glare.
"What of you then? Do you wish to forget the pain?"
"I refuse to forget the people I've killed in this war." Heero stated, starring straight into the man's eyes. The blue-haired man took a step back.
"Fine, then we'll see if you want to forget when I have you whimpering on the floor!" He snarled, and reached his hand to place it on Heero's chest.
Heero jerked and bucked as if he was being electrocuted for a moment, before an ear piercing scream escaped his lips. Pain flooded through my body, every nerve was on fire. I heard another voice join Heero's painful wail; absently I realized that it was me. I was doubled over, screaming with the pain that I was sharing with Heero. Rage suddenly filled the room. I could feel my power answer that rage, pulsing. A roar of fury echoed inside my head.
"HEEEEEEEEEEROOOOOOOOOOOO!"
My body felt numb; cold. The pain was gone; slowly I uncurled myself and looked around. The room was frigid. My breath came in puffs of white.
The blue-haired man was looking at me and grinning.
"So, you aren't human." He stated I glanced around the dark room; a thick layer of frost covered the metal.
I growled at him. What the hell was going on? My power wasn't cold. The opposite in fact; my power felt like a hot desert wind. Suddenly the shadows seemed to move....something was here. I could now feel the presence of something...dark. Not evil; but not a creature of light either.
"Now who are you?" The man asked; I barely heard him my focus completely on locating whatever was in the room with us. The man grabbed my face; "Answer me; who are you?"
"When I get out of here, I am going to take great pleasure in ripping out your black heart." I snarled. The man blinked a couple times; I could feel the confusion emitting from my three comrades. I could understand that, normally I wasn't this...er...violent. The man regained his composer and slapped me across the face;
"That wasn't what I asked you boy! Now answer me!" I looked up at him, I could taste blood in my mouth and I could feel it dripping down my chin. I grinned at him and repeated, "If I tell you, I'd have to kill you."
"Fine then I guess I'll just have to do this the fun way." The man stated, walking back over to Heero. He reached out and touched Heero's shoulder; again, Heero's body spasmed, but he did not scream. The pain rolling off him was enormous, how could he hold it in like that? The man released Heero, who slumped in his chains a bit.
"You ready to tell me, blue-eyes?" he asked, his voice mocking; his hand hovered over Heero's shoulder waiting to deliver another electrifying touch. The room grew dark; the presence I had sensed earlier was stronger...in fact... no it couldn't be....
"Lay another finger on him, Chacs(2), and you will regret it." A voice growled from the shadows to my left. I turned to look at the speaker; trying to pierce the darkness surrounding the speaker. Wait...I recognize that dark aura...but..how....
1) You'll notice I refer to them as bears...this is for two reasons....one that they are huge hulking men...think the REALLY big body builder wrestler type....and two...because they are indeed bears...they are shape-shifters whose animal happens to be the bear.
2) Chacs is the Mexican/Maya god of Thunder/Lightening. But he's just a blue haired sadist in this fic. lol
Ok you know the drill...tell me what you thinks mates!
