The five boys sitting at the blacken table turned at the new voice. It was a voice they all knew. Quatre shrunk into Trowa, who glared at the man now standing before them with such hatred you would think the tall blonde would burst into flames. Duo gripped the chair with such strength that it creaked and threatened to break. Wufei sat rigid waiting for some sign of what he was supposed to do exactly. Heero rose, his back stiff, his face like stone, he glared at the slightly taller angel with deep hatred. He had never really like Millardo the man just plan annoyed him, now after hearing of what he had done, Heero wanted to rip his wings off.

"What Heero are you angry? You know Quatre wasn't coming back anyway, who cares if he had wings on earth?" Millardo leaned forward and leveled his face with Duo's "Boo." He smiled has he said it.

Duo moved so fast it was hard to tell what he had done, but Millardo was holding one of the legs of his chair and he was standing now.

"What a naughty little vampire."

It was Trowa's turned to rise, "You leave him be." His voice was low and malicious.

"You boys are all so angry and defensive. I could use fighters like you. I've never feared anyone before that night. Now I've put things into perspective though. You two caught me off guard, but you're really not all that powerful, it was chance."

"You want a test that theory?" Duo ripped the chair from Millardo's hand and it snapped.

"Was that suppose to be threatening little boy." Millardo stepped closer and Duo instinctively moved away. "hmpf."

"What right do you think you had to do what you've done? No one gave you the power to strip an angel of his wings, let alone how brutally you did it?"

"You believe all that do you. Vampires deceive young Heero; they toy with and then dispose of. You never asked me about my scar did you Heero?" Millardo raised a hand to his collarbone. Where barely noticeable was a pale scar.

Heero had noticed it, it was hard not too. Everyone talked about the mysterious pale scar Millardo had. The thing was angel's had to be seriously wounded to receive even the faintest of marks. The mark Millardo had meant that someone or something had truly damaged him physically.

"No, nor do I care."

"Even if I told you a certain long haired vampire was the cause of it. You can't even see where Quatre's wings were ripped from his back, and you say it was brutal, yet your new friend here was able to leave a scar on my skin."

Duo didn't dare look at the others he knew what he would find in their eyes, he knew they would think him a monster for what he had done. But how could he had not, how could anyone stand there and let an angel be tortured.

"You were killing him." Escaped Duo lips, "You were hurting him."

"But no where near as bad as what you did." Millardo pushed buttons he could only guess where there, and he was hitting all the right ones.

Duo's anger was boiling over, wrapped and twisted in self destructive guilt, pain and inner torment that Duo tried desperately to bottle and hide.

But before anyone could say or do anything else Heero spoke, "Sometimes it's better to have scars and small reminders, what you've done to Quatre is a thousand times worse. You stripped him of everything he was, you forsake him for wanting to help hurting souls, but that's what he is, what he is meant to be. You've written your death in his blood."

Millardo looked at the warrior angel in front of him. Heero had seen many battlefields, many deaths. Millardo believed he could fight the vampires, and he knew Quatre would present no threat to him, but the war worn angel standing there with hatred and blood in his eyes he was not sure of. This would have to wait. "Sorry, but I don't think so."

Millardo vanished from sight a trait that only high ranking angels in high positions were allowed to use. It was earned with loyalty. It made Heero sick and angry.

Oooh the suspense. I hope you all like it. It's getting interesting I think. I was worried about how I was going to end this, I thought they can't fight yet, it can't end here, I need a way to prolong it. Not that it's going to end with a battle I don't know yet. I have a few ideas and we're all gonna have to see where it goes from here. Thank you all, please continue to read and review and most importantly enjoy it.
