RuRu- Shaddap! Please review for this story so i cvan write the next chapter!!! Enjoy!!!!

I slowly blinked my eyes open, then shut them immediately, praying that I had seen wrong. I opened them again and cursed.

Dammit! why the hell are we here!?shini demanded angrily.

I don't know! you think I walked here!?

Smartass.I chuckled insanely.

Nope, not smart, just an ass.

Always gotta have the last laugh don't you?I nodded slowly, smiling like a maniac. I looked around me and sighed, staring at the plain white walls of the hospital room.

Damn straight.

fucker.

Bitch. I muttered to the voice as I sat up. Hmm. they had numbed just my side, not my whole body. Sweet. I got out of the bed and picked up a bedpan, walking into the bathroom. I closed the door and did my business, then filled the bedpan with the nasty water, flushing. I opened the bathroom door and saw a doctor walking into my room. I snickered under my breath and launched the bedpan at him.

dead on hit. The water splashed over his head and ran down his white coat. "Nice to see you too, Duo." he said in a bored tone, making sure his clipboard didn't get wet. I pouted.

Meanie. I thought, then brightened up, walking out with a fake spring in my step. not that he noticed.

"So, you left the hospital with three gunshot wounds in your side, killed a vampire using excessive force, busted open your wounds, then tried to go off on your own, and figured you wouldn't end up back here?" I nodded cheerfully, sitting on my bed. "Stupid kid." the doctor muttered affectionately.

"You know you love me." I said in a sugary sweet voice.

"Oh yeah, I have wet dreams about you all the time, Duo." he said in a voice coated with sarcasm as he checked his chart. "I can't wait to take you in my arms and ask you to make love to me." I forced myself to blush and grabbed his hand.

"Do you really? do you love me so much?" I asked desperately. he nodded and poked my side. "Oww!!! Meanie!!" I whined, pushing him away. "I thought you loved me!"

"Yes, of course, but as long as you're with Mitch, we can't be together, so I have to kill you slowly, you masochist punk." he said in all seriousness.

"Hey! I take umm... offense- yeah that's it- I take offense to that! I'm not masochist, im sadist, you bitch!" I cried in a girly voice. he smirked.

"Oh, well in that case..." he trailed off, a mischevious glint in his brown eyes. I saw the needle from the corner of my eye and screamed, standing up on the bed.

"No! Ahh!! help!!! someone help!! evil doctor in here with a needle!" I shouted at the top of my lungs. staff memberes snickered at my antics as they passed my open door. patients stared in fear as I dance on the bed, trying to get away from the needle.

"C'mere, baby!" the doctor said huskily. "I won't hurt you." he promised.

"Liar!" I shrieked, jumping off the bed and running into the hallway, my black shirt and pants catching attention as I ran past the front desk, the doctor chasing me. I ran into the cafeteria and grabbed a yellow squishy entree and held it like a weapon.

"Back, evil doctor, i've got hospital food and I know how to use it!" I flung some at his face and he fell to the floor, writing in pain.

"Ahh, help me! i've been hit! someone save me!" he cried, dropping the needle. I sat on his stomach, my food-turned-weapon pointed at him. he stuck a finger in the yellow gew and flung it at me, hitting my nose. I crossed my eyes and dramatically widened them when I saw the food, falling next to him and trying to get it off my nose without actually touching it. I squealed when he put more on.

"Ah! Double agent food.Traitors!" I cried, then picked up the dish and shoved it on the doctors coat. "Haha! back on my side!" I shouted triumphantly. the doctor sat back on his but and picked up the needle.

"Let me give you your shot, Duo." he said seriously. I nodded, smiling, and handed him my arm. I winced as it poked into my skin and bit my lip. the doctor pulled the needle out and smiled at me. "Lets get you back to your room." a snicker off to the side caught my attention. I turned my head and saw Wufei watching me.

"Do that often?" he asked. I shrugged.

"only when they.." I trailed off into a yawn. "What the hell'd you....give me?" I yawned again, looking at the doctor.

"Sleeping drugs. You haven't been getting enough sleep, kid." the doctor said. "And that romp through the hospital probably didn't help." he laughed, wiping the food off of Duo's nose.

"Yeah." I bit back a yawn, stumbling to my feet and turning around. "Better get to be..." I yawned, unable to stop myself, and glared at the doctor before my vision went fuzzy and the ground rushed up to meet and old friend. the last thig I felt was strong arms catching me before I hit the ground, then picking me up. the rest, as they say, was history.

my P.O.V.

Wufei looked at the unconsious teen in his arms and raised an eyebrow at the doctor.

"Did it really have to be that strong?" he asked. the doctor shrugged.

"He pulled his bedpan stunt earlier, and ruined my favourite coat. it was payback." he said simply.

"Is he in here often, then?" Wufei asked. the doctor nodded, taking off his coat and wiping the food off Duo's face.

"Yeah." he sighed. "Mostly, it's people who want him dead attacking him."he said.

"Who is he?" Wufei asked incredulously, staring at the angelic face.

"You heard of the executioner?" the doctor asked. Wufei nodded.

"He leaves a card. its says 'shinigami strikes again. beware evil monsties!' on it with a thermal scythe." the doctor nodded.

"that's him." Wufei choked, staring at the innocent face before him. "Lets get him back to his room before he wakes up." the chinese boy nodded, walking up the stairs after the doctor.

Duo P.O.V.

I groaned quietly when I woke up, not wanting to open my eyes. pain was shooting up the left side of my body. the last thing I remembered was hilde talking to me, telling me not to throw bedpans, and saying I better get better. everything from then on was fuzzy. I looked down at my clothes and saw I was wearing my silk shirt. that hadn't been on when Hilde was here. scanning the room, I saw a long black trench coat laying over the back of a chair. I grumbled quietly, sitting up. as soon as I did, the last six hours came rushing back to me. I bit my lip and sytared at my lap, willing myself not to cry.

Welcome back to the land of the living, sleeping beauty.shini said snidely. I sighed, perfect.

Shut up, asshole. I'm not in the mood to fight with you right now! I shouted mentally.

Really? I thought arguing with me would be a good way to get rid of some of that anger you have built up inside of you. it's giving me headaches.he sighed. I snickered at him.

the great god of death gets headaches like us mere mortals!? I asked mockingly. I felt him nod. that's rich. wait'll I tell Hil- I cut myself off. shini? I asked weakly. I felt him "look" at me. Are you really the god of death, or do you just like killing people? I asked.

I'm really him, kiddo. so are you. why? you want to see her again? I nodded softly, hoping he could manage it. I can do it, but only for a few minutes, to say your goodbyes, then she goes to Him. and it'll hurt you like hell the whole time she's here.I nodded again. and you won't be able to move for a while afterwards.another nod. okay.

after a moment of waiting I gasped in pain, my body shaking violently. my head flew back, and a silent scream tore it's way out of my throat. when I could think straight again, I looked around the room. she was there, staring at me from the doorway.

'Duo.' she whispered, taking in my state. 'Oh god, Duo. I'm so sorry!' she cried, flinging herself at me. much to my surprise, I caught her in my arms, and held her for a moment.

"Hild.. I just brought you here so I could tell you... he's dead. you were his sixth." she nodded, knowing what I was talking about. "I'm sending the kids to the maxwell orphanage. it's better for them there, they might get adopted." I said. "You can only stay another minute, hild, so I just want to say, goodbye."

'Bye Duo. thank you for taking care of the kids, it means so much, and I know you would've killed zechs if I was his first. I'll watch over you, kiddo. I love you.' tears were running down her transparent face.

"I love you hilde. you were like a mom to me." I whispered, hugging her tightly. "I'll miss you, and. and if you need anything, don't hesitate to drop something on my head. I'll start praying again, it'll be like i'm talking to you, and shini says you can talk in my head if you want." I said, tears now running down my own cheeks. she raised a hand and wiped them away.

'Bye kiddo.' she kissed me gently, the salt of her tears making my lips sting, and dissappeared. I held back as best I could, biting my lip until it bled.

"Hilde." I whispered, my head falling into my hands. my shoulders shook as I cried, showing weakness for the first time since before I could remember. I was always the happy one, the one who made everyone smile.

fuck everyone else.shini snarled in my head. what the hell did they ever do for you? he demanded. you keep the streets safe for them, isn't that enough? why do you have to make sure they're happy as well!?I could almost see him shaking with anger as he yelled at me.

because if they aren't happy, then I can't be. I need happieness around me, or I'm just another kid who hears voices. I can't be strong otherwise. I'm weak, shini. I can't be strong without them all, and it's killing me. I whispered back. I'm only fifteen. I don't want to kill people. I just want to be normal, have fights with my parents, shoplift, get in trouble with the cops and have to spend more than an hour in the station. I just want to be a normal kid. I squeezed my eyes shut, trying to hold back the rest of my tears.

you were born with a destiny, Duo. you can't be normal, and i'm sorry for that. but in all the people i've ever been sent to help, you're the strongest by far. maybe in your next life you can be normal, but now, you're stuck with the god of death in your head. im sorry.

I felt like screaming right then, letting out all the pain I felt, all the anger. I just wanted to let go, scream till I couldnt scream anymore. but it wouldn't help, so I lay down, getting comfortable. I turned on the radio and put it on an Oldies station. they said something stupid, and turned on a song by Evanecense. it was the one called Bring Me to Life. I loved this song, so I nodded my head to it.

In a matter of minutes, I was asleep, lost in the land of peace and love I had created. the land where I was normal, where I had a family. I didn't want to wake up, ever.

In the back of my mind, I heard a beep flatline and a tear rolled down my cheek.
