Heero looked at Duo then thought of something, "Duo listen to me I want you to get up using your hands. Put your weight on your hands and lift up your whole body." Duo looked at Heero then nodded his head. Duo put his hands on the each side of Heero and lifted up his whole body. At one point Duo thought that he had heard Heero hiss again but continued up. Duo had finally gotten all the way off the bed. Heero all of a sudden tasted blood in his mouth. Heero released his lip and noticed that he had punctured it, that was very stupid on his part but he did feel worse. Duo sat down on the side of his bed and lightly ran his fingers through Heero's hair.
Trowa walked back into Quatre's bed room to find that Quatre wasn't there. "Quatre? Quatre are you here?" The was no answer in the room. Trowa, being a shape-shifter and all, shaped into a blood hound and started sniffing around. Trowa was sniffing but didn't know that a bookcase was coming up and ran into it. The blood hound changed back into Trowa.
"Ouch." Trowa said rubbing his head. Trowa looked at the bookcase a noticed something different about it. Trowa got up off the floor and looked at it, he noticed a book out of place, Quatre always liked to put his books in alphabetical order, it always gave him something to do. Trowa pulled out the book only to have the bookcase move. Trowa jumped back and looked at the bookcase, it had moved back reveling a passage way. Trowa looked down the passage and noticed a faint light glowing from the end of the way. Trowa started to walk down the passage way, not knowing what was down there but Trowa was always curious.
Quatre had walked back into his room and noticed the bookcase open, "What's this doing open?" Quatre noticed the book on the ground and put it back onto the bookcase which caused it to close.
Trowa heard something shut and looked behind him and noticed the exit was shut. Well only one way to go now. Trowa walked to the end and noticed that it was a door, he lightly pushed against the door to only peek inside and his eyes got wide with surprise by what he saw.
Wufei lightly knocked against Heero's bedroom door and was surprised when Duo had opened the door.
Wufei walked in keeping his eyes on Duo then walked up to Heero, "Quatre's better and wants to know if you want him to help you." Heero looked at Wufei and nodded his head. Wufei walked out of the room still looking at Duo.
Duo looked at Heero, "Should I keep the door open?" Heero nodded his head again; there wasn't much else he could do, if he moved he would be in pain again.
Duo walked away from the door and walked up to Heero, "If I left now would I be able to find the exit?" Heero looked at Duo, he really wouldn't leave would he, well he was human so they were full of surprises. Heero lightly nodded his head turning away from Duo, not being able to see him leave. Duo looked at him for a bit longer then walked out of the room and towards the entrance; he was ready to go home.
Quatre and Wufei walked into the bedroom and Quatre walked up to him then lightly laughed when he saw Heero, "What did you do to yourself." Heero gave Quatre a mean glare.
"Okay okay settle down, I'll help, I was just wondering." Quatre said then lightly pulled out a bottle, "Here you're going to need to drink this." Heero looked at him then forced himself to take the bottle, ignoring the pain, and drank it. "Good now rest up and when you wake up you should feel better." Quatre said taking back the bottle then looking at Wufei who seemed to be looking around, "What's the matter Wufei?"
Wufei looked at Quatre, "Where's Trowa?"
Trowa couldn't believe his eyes; he opened the door all the way then looked around. Trowa noticed three old Maori Weapons, a patu, tewhatewha, and a taiaha. A bunch of older looking books along with some weird looking sets of bottles that were on the shelf. Trowa finally noticed a door that was somewhat covered by cloth like material. Trowa walked up to the door, "Must be the way out." Trowa opened the door, but it looked like nothing was there it was pitch black, he felt someone push him and Trowa fell into the darkness with the door shutting behind him.
Quatre looked at Wufei, "Wasn't Trowa with you?"
Wufei shook his head no, "He went to go see you, I haven't seen him since." Quatre took off running out of the room, he had a good hunch were Trowa would be if he wasn't too late.
Wufei looked over at Heero who was getting out of the bed, "Oh no you don't you heard Quatre, you need to rest we'll look for Trowa." Heero looked at Wufei then gave up his fight and went back into the bed to rest.
Quatre ran into his room and pulled out the book and the bookcase opened. Quatre ran to the end of the passage way and noticed that the door was opened. "Trowa!" Quatre yelled into the room but heard no answer. Quatre looked at the door that was in the back and noticed that the cloth had been moved away from the door, too late, too late was Quatre. Quatre shook his head no, this couldn't be happening. Quatre looked at the door then shook his head, he couldn't go in alone. Quatre sat there thinking, taking Wufei and Heero would put them in danger, but what if he ended up needing them.
Wufei walked back into Heero's bedroom, he'd been looking for where Quatre ran off too but had no luck, then noticed Heero was up and walking around, "Are you sure you should be moving around." Heero gave Wufei a mean glare and Wufei decided to back off. Just when Wufei was gonna go back out and look for Quatre, Quatre had walked back in.
"I found out where Trowa went, but it will be dangerous if we follow him, I don't know when we will get back but you both don't have to come if you don't want to." Quatre said to them both.
Wufei was the first one to speak, "I'm coming." Quatre looked at Wufei then at Heero who only nodded his head.
"Are you both sure?" Quatre asked, making sure if they both wanted to change their minds." Wufei and Heero both nodded their heads. Quatre smiled, "Thanks guys, but you might want to bring weapons."
Wufei looked at Quatre, "Can we bring which ever ones?" Quatre nodded his head and Wufei ran out of the room. Quatre looked at Heero, who was getting ready.
Heero looked at Quatre, "I want to bring someone." Quatre lightly nodded his head okay. Heero walked out of his room and down the hallway.
Duo was walking in his apartment not really paying attention when someone had knocked at the door. Duo continued to walk around. Someone knocked on the door louder which cause Duo to finally hear it.
"I'm coming." Duo said then walked to the door and opened it. The guy walked in then turned to look at Duo. "What do you want?" Duo asked coldly. Heero was completely taken back by that question, Duo said it so cold, that wasn't the Duo he knew.
Heero lightly shook his head, "I'm going to be going away, I wanted to see if you wanted to come but I understand that you don't want to go. I'll just say good-bye and leave...Good-bye Duo." Heero walked to the door but stopped when a hand grabbed his wrist. Heero turned and looked back at Duo who seemed to be trying to hide his emotions. Heero pulled Duo into a hug and held him close, "You can come if you want to Duo." Duo pulled away and ran into his room. A few minutes Duo came back out wearing a black t-shirt and black pants with some black sunglasses caught on the side of his pants. Heero stared at him, open-mouthed. Duo smiled then walked up to Heero and kissed him, a full brought out kiss. Heero's eyes lightly closed and he brought his arms around Duo, just savoring the moment.
Duo light pulled away and looked at Heero and smiled, "Let's go." Heero nodded his head and opened the door for Duo. Duo smiled again and walked out and locked the door then followed Heero.
Walking down the streets Heero and Duo were talking. "Don't mind me asking but how did you become a vampire to begin with Heero?" Duo asked. Heero stopped not really knowing how to answer that question. "What's the matter Heero?" Duo asked again noticing Heero stopping.
Heero looked at Duo, "I really wouldn't know how to tell you how I began one Duo."
"Well tell me like the rules and how to kill them." Duo asked. Heero looked at Duo with wide eyes. Duo quickly shook his head when he realized what Heero was thinking, "I just want to know, I wont do it to you I promise."
Heero nodded his head, "Okay Duo I trust you." Heero took a deep breath, "A number of standard "rules" govern vampires. For one a vampire spends the night searching for its victims, although some of us vampires don't do much of that, but at dawn we must return to home. Anyone bitten by a vampire becomes a vampire upon death, but I haven't seen that happen yet. One can tell a vampire by examining the corpse; if the corpse is not decayed or has some color, then it is likely a vampire. Holy water will burn the flesh of a vampire, causing it to shriek in pain. The legends built up around vampires give them a variety of powers including to merge with shadows; shape-change, particularly into bats or wolves, though sometimes ticks and spiders; and the ability to mesmerized with their eyes. Vampires also have a variety of weaknesses. In some stories, vampires cannot enter a home without being invited in. They shun religious symbols. Garlic, mustard seed and other herbs can keep them away. They can be killed with a stake through the heart, though this may not be a permanent solution. Permanently destroying a vampire requires not only a stake, but beheading the vampire, stuffing the mouth with garlic and burning the body. That's really all I know."
Duo looked at Heero, "We should get going Heero." Heero looked at him then nodded his head and started to walk again. Duo followed him, "Listen Heero I'm sorry I didn't mean to make you upset." Heero stopped and had his head down. Duo looked at him and lightly lifted up his bangs then noticed in his eyes that he wanted to cry but something was holding it back. Duo lightly smiled then took hold of Heero's hand, "Come on lets keep walking." Heero nodded his head and both him and Duo walked off.
Wufei and Quatre were in his room when Heero and Duo finally showed up. Heero looked at Quatre then nodded his head. Quatre got up from the bed and walked to the bookcase and moved a book causing the case to move. Quatre lead Wufei, Heero and Duo down the passage way. When they came to the door, Quatre showed them in.
Heero looked at Quatre with an eyebrow raised. Quatre shook his head, "I'll tell you later." Quatre showed them the door then opened it. Quatre put his hand on the other side of the door and pressed a button which causes a map to show up.
"It was used for a star map, it wasn't meant for someone to fall into."
Heero looked at Quatre, "Lead the way." Quatre nodded his head then jumped through the door. Wufei looked though the door then jumped through also. Heero looked at Duo and noticed that he was scared. Heero moved to the door, "Don't be afraid Duo everything will be alright." Duo looked at the door then lightly gulped, then nodded at Heero. Heero held his hand out to Duo, who gladly took it and they both jumped out the same time.
