Nemesis: Thanks Jordan for your fantastic input! I'm sorry to say that some of your questions won't get answered in this chapter but don't worry they will in the next.
I'm going to be a little slow putting out chapters now. I haven't finished writing them. I will put them out as quickly as possible. I actually put 'Confused' on hold since I was having wonderful responses on this fic. Thanks again ^_~

Silver-blue eyes burned into sky blue orbs. The princess gulped a little from the unnerving look that she was receiving from the older female. Granted that the woman made an impressive reentry, but something told the princess that her presence was the cause of the total chaos in the med-lab.
"Pegasus" Nemesis spoke in her authoritative voice.
"Yes, your Majesty?"
"Ready me in ten minutes. Make sure that the guards and pilots are ready to depart once I am battle equipped." Nemesis never took her eyes off Relena. Her orders giving, the queen's attendant left.
"Princess Relena, you are not to come in contact with any of the pilot-"
"Now, just one damn minute" Relena cut in.
"SILENCE!!!" Nemesis voice shook the all ready battered room and shattered more windows.
She sounded like a banshee getting ready to rip her next victim apart. Relena, Heero, and Sally fell to their knees from the ear piercing sound. They never knew the full magnitude of the queen's power and now it seems that they were going to find out.
Out of anger Nemesis grabbed Relena by the throat hauled her off the floor. Relena's feet dangled high above the floor.
"Now listen very closely." She growled low in her throat for emphasis. "You are to reframe from any further contact with the pilots. To not do so would prove hazardous to your health. If you need to speak to any one of them, one of MY guards will be present. You will address them in accordance to MY official ranking whenever we are diplomatically socializing. Do I make myself clear."
Relena felt the same fear that that L2 brat evoked just a short time ago. All she could was nod her head in compliance. Relena dropped to the floor in a huddled mass quietly sobbing.
"Capt. Yuy, please escort the princess to her room and then meet me in mine." Nemesis swiftly crossed the lab retracing her wings as she went. She stopped briefly at Sally, who stared blankly at the Amazon.
"Sally, we will be leaving shortly. I will send my sons in here to aid with the clean up. Also, keep the baby out of sight. I do not want Lt. Maxwell to see her. Is that understood?"
Sally just nodded her answer for fear her voice would betray how she really felt.

The long drive went along in an uncomfortable silence. The driver watched the road and other vehicles pass by. The passenger stared out the window watching the city go by in flashes. The scenery slowly changed from commercial buildings and house to densely covered forest.
"We are almost there" Heero announced, his internal clock alerting him of the time.
"Remember Yuy, get in quick and find Duo, and get the Hell out. Mara and Trunks will be standing by."
"Roger that."
+++++++++++++++++++
The pick-up truck pulled into a long driveway of the base that housed the captured Shinigami. Neither of the occupants of the truck showed nervousness or fear. A guard emerged from the guardhouse to inquire about their business.
"This is a restricted military base. No civilians are allowed." The guard vented obviously he hated his job.
"He does not speak." The sultry alto vice answered.
"Really" The guard finally got a good look at the passenger. He bent low into the open window. "I am here to meet with Commander Nicolai Sumantra."
"And who might you be young lady?" The guard asked grinning like an idiot. One simple name had him on the run. "Nemesis."
The guard staggered back as if he was punched in the face. He practically ran back to his shed and radioed to the main compound that their long awaited guest had finally arrived. After some minutes the guard returned.
"I'm sorry but you're gonna have to park your vehicle over there and walk. You will also be body searched to make sure that you're not caring any weapons."
Heero and Nemesis found themselves inside the gates cautiously moving toward the main building when more guards appeared and surrounded them. Two guards separated Heero from Nemesis while she stood there with her hands in the air.
"We need to check for weapons" One of the taller guards said.
"My servant is unarmed."
"Do you honestly think we're just gonna take your word for it, lady?"
"I'm not going to argue with you, but wearing an outfit like that? Were do you think he's going to put it?" Nemesis smirked.
Everyone carefully looked over the brown-eyed youth (A/N: Shh, don't say anything but Heero has in colored contacts). He was wearing what seems to be a snug form fitting black spandex body suit.
The body suit had long sleeves that stopped at his wrists, and a low u- shaped neckline. The outfit was completed with black leather boots. Showing off well-defined muscles and a lean body. Yes, the boy was very pleasing to the eye.
"We will accept your word on this for now." The taller guard said while lustfully gazing at her 'servant'.
"I'm only going to say this once Lt. If you or any of your officers touch him, you're dead." Her vice dropped a few degrees lower.
The Lt. In charge laughed a little. "I'm just admiring the view."
"Well, don't it's in your health's best interest to keep it to yourself." She dropped her eyes to his groin with a scowl.
"What's he to you anyway?" He asked nervously as he felt his fatigues became unbearably tight.
She slowly encircled Heero. Her hands lightly touching him. He lowered his head in submission to show them her authority over him. "He's my concubine." To show emphasis she grabbed the back of his dark hair snapping his head up and crushed her lips upon his. When she finished the bruising kiss, he lowered his head again.
The Lt. stood there with eyes and mouth wide open. After a minute or so he finally motion for the boy to be taken. "Okay, Vince you do the body search on her."
Extentanl speakers crackled from being turned on. ["Welcome, Nemesis! We have been waiting a long time for you."]
"Now that I am here, release the gundam pilot!" She spit back.
["I'm afraid that I can't do that just yet. I have to make absolute sure you are who you say you are."]
"What kind of trick are you up to?"
["No trick my dear just a series of tests. The first test is for you to make into the main compound. The men around you are highly skilled Martial Artists and weapon experts. Do be careful they have explicit instructions to kill you if you're an imposter. Oh! And one more thing, good luck."]
The speaker disconnected the feed. Nemesis was now going to get a warm-up. The guard was still trying to body search her. She counted a total of nine sharp shooters atop of the three buildings, three to each building. She figured that if the ground troops fail to subdue her then they would be the ones to take her down, probably with tranquilizers no doubt.
"Hey baby? When we're all done here why don't we hang out for awhile, if you know what I mean." The guard winked at Nemesis. She just stared at him while he pat her down then sliding his hand back up between her legs. He missed the Sais in her boots and her other hidden weapons.
"Why? So I can be bored to death." She said dryly.
"Why you bitch!" He slapped her. All the other men laughed as she spun to the ground in a tumbled heap. "Why don't we just cut to the chase fellas and have out fun right here?" Another man suggested.
Nemesis was still on the ground. "Now, if we did that, then I wouldn't be able to *kick.your.ass*!" She brought up her left leg and kicked the guard in his stomach sending him sailing across the open courtyard.
The other guards watched in fascinating shock as the Amazon moved. Reaching into her boots she pulled out her Sais twirling them in sync. She positioned one along her the length of her right arm and positioned the other aimed forward.
They all lunged for her; she back flipped out of the encroaching circle. She landed behind two of them. Screams of death could be heard as she impaled the men with the dagger like weapons.
One by one the guards fell. One of them did kick the Sais out of her hands but she recovered from the blow. Nemesis began her pressure point assault. One jab to the heart and it was over. Death was instantaneous.
The sharp shooters took aim and begun their bergage of darts. Nemesis flipped and dodged the darts. She made her way to the first building scaling up the wall quickly. She approached the three guards. "I'm over here boys."
As the guards turned she flung her throwing stars killing them on impact. Nemesis continued on until she was the only one left standing. "Martial Artists indeed" She snorted retrieving her weapons that she lost early into the fight. She then proceeded to the main building.
Once inside she was accosted by a hoard of doctors in lab coats. She let them lead her into an examination room. After a few minutes another doctor entered the room.
"Hello. My name is-"
"Dr. Caryn ValJean" Nemesis calmly interjected. Her head ached a little from the use of telepathy but as long as she didn't over do it she would be fine.
"Yes and you must be Nemesis. I'm here to do a few tests if you don't mind but first I need to draw some blood."
"Look. I'm here for the release of the gundam pilot not your test subject. And besides, my blood will solidify before the tube is filled." Nemesis smiled. A confused look was on the good doctor's face.
"But I need to confirm that you are the real deal"
"Very well, but I warn you if you try any thing that I do not approve of pause I will not hesitate to kill you." Nemesis threatened. She needed to give Heero time to located Duo then all Hell will break loose.
After six test tubes of useless blood the doctor gave-up. 'I don't get it?' She muttered to herself. She gathered what she could and left. "The commander will visit you after I give him my report." The doctor gently closed the door behind her.
Nemesis stood at the window looking out into the darkness of night when a figure shimmered into the room. The Amazon turned and greeted her guest.
"It's been awhile?" The queen said.
"Yes. Yes it has"
"So, what brings you to the realm of mortals?" Nemesis asked.
"I have a message. The gods will allow your child to live provided that you give-up your parental claim and declare Duo the birth mother."
"Why? When he's the father." Nemesis didn't understand what the gods want. Any thing that they did never made sense to her.
"They know that. However, they feel that because of his lineage his offspring should live. After all, the child will grow-up to be Great like her mother and father." The woman quietly waited for an answer.
"Okay, Celeste what's the catch. The gods are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts." Nemesis demanded.
"Duo needs to legally wed and bind the marriage by midnight tomorrow."
"Damn you all! That's not enough time to perform the ceremony and have them bind it!" Nemesis was livid.
"I will send word to the princess and make sure that she has the banquet all ready. The only thing you have to do is get Duo and his mate to the altar."
"They are finally coming together. Duo's capture is going to bring them closer together. They do not need a child to complicate things. What if they do not agree to this?" Nemesis said pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Then the child will die." The deity removed her hood on her dark cloak revealing a long knee-length braid. She stepped closer to the Amazon queen. "Do not worry Nemesis. Every thing will be how it should."
"I hope you're right Celeste. I hope you're right." Nemesis glanced back out the window. She was once again alone in the sterile room to her thoughts, but little did she know that she watched from a hidden camera.

Once Heero took care of his guards and dispensed with the contacts, he wasted no time locating Duo. Most of the guards in this sector were not needed. He had discovered that for some unexplainable reason the former commander died at the hands of the Deathscythe Hell pilot as well as a few others. Oz has had him quarantine since the incident.
He hacked into the computer to release the locks on the door. He slipped quietly into the cell. As the door closed Heero was grabbed quickly from behind but soon his attacker found themselves on their back staring into blazing Prussian eyes.
"Duo, why did you attack me?"
"Heero?" Bright violet orbs blinked in confusion.
"Hai. It's me. I'm here to get you out." Heero offered his hand and helped his partner to his feet. Duo took note of Heero's attire and suddenly felt warm. "Duo, you okay?" Heero noticed how flushed the other pilot looked.
"Yeah, man. I'm fine. May I ask why are you wearing spandex?"
Heero gave a little smile before he answered. "I poised as Nemesis' concubine. It was the only way I could get in here."
"Nemesis is back?" Duo's eyes widen from the shock of the warrior's return and Heero's sudden beaming smile. He wished that Heero smile more often, his smile was beautiful.
"Hai, but we'll talk about that later. Right now, let's get you out of here." Heero reached inside his boot and pulled out a mini headset radio. Slight static could be heard over the earpiece then a female voice came through.
"Mara here"
"We're ready" Heero's flat tone announced.
"We're on our way"
Mara and Trunks located Heero's energy signature and levitated to the cell window. Mara looked inside and saw Heero standing next to a very beautiful boy with long braided hair. She almost dropped out of mid-air when she saw the one that they were rescuing. After a few seconds Mara pulled herself backed together. "Heero. I need for you two to stand back."
Mara and Trunks blasted a huge hole in the wall. Alarms were sounding off as Mara grabbed onto Heero and Trunks scooped-up Duo. Neither pilot questioned their 'ride' as they flew off into the night.
The group landed at camp some distance away. Trowa and WuFei were waiting. Duo was the first to recover. "What the fuck is going on?! How in the Hell can you guys fly?!"
"My name is Trunks and this is my step-sister Mara. My father is a Saiyan Prince from a planet called Vegetasei. I am half human half Saiyan. Mara's father is from a conquered planet called Quadrant 51. Both of our races have the ability to fly."
Duo relaxed somewhat but he didn't let up on the questions. "I've heard of Vegetasei. That was destroyed a long time ago. How can you still be alive if the last of the Saiyan race lived almost a millenium ago?" One thing you gotta know about Duo was that he knew his history.
"After my father and mother died. I went to Nemesis asked her if I could stay with her. She told me that I could stay with her for as long as I wished. I was granted immortality as well as Mara and the others. In return we protect and serve Nemesis. Not that she needs it of course."
"How old are you?" Trowa quietly asked finding Trunks story a little intriguing.
"When I became immoral I was twenty-five and the same goes for Mara. My real age pause I couldn't tell you. I lost count after two hundred." Trunks said while shrugging his shoulder.
The pilots face vaulted. They couldn't believe it. The lavender hair boy was over two hundred years old. What's next? They will be telling them that they were gods and could command the people around them.
"We better be getting back to Sank before Oz finds us out here." WuFei stated after getting over what the other youth told them.
"What about Nemesis?" Duo asked not moving from his spot next to Heero.
"Don't worry about her. She will be fine." Mara answered.
~ Sank Kingdom ~
In the common room everyone was watching the wide screen movie television listening to the news.
[---The cause of the massive explosion is still unknown. However, sources say that the Gundams might have played a huge part in the destruction of the ruin research facility. In other news---]
The former Oz general stood looking at the sad faces before him. "Do not worry I'm sure that they made it out in time."
Just when Noin was about to speak they heard. "Weee'rre baaack!" Quatre's head snapped-up to the lively voice. 'Duo' he whispered. Said person walked in the room with his friends close behind. "DUO!" The Arabian jumped up from his seat and crashed into his friend. Muffled sobs could be heard as Duo hugged him.
"Shh, it's okay Q. I'm here and everybody's fine."
Sally was the next to approach the group. "How are you feeling Duo?"
"I'm just tired. Those doctors pumped me full of junk and I can't seem to keep a single thought straight."
"Well, let's go to the med-lab and let me look you over."
Duo disengages himself form Quatre and passed him over to Trowa. Once the blonde had calmed down, Trowa escorted him to their room. Noin joined Sally to assist her with Duo. Treize and Zechs left to set-up peace negotiations with Oz, again. As always, WuFei went to meditate somewhere and Trunks and Mara wanted for the others to return. Heero wasn't as lucky to leave the room unnoticed.
"Wait! Heero."
"Relena. We've been through this before. Why are you making it difficult?"
"Because I know that Nemesis is wrong"
"No she isn't. Nemesis told me something before all this crap went down, but what I wanna know Relena is why you feel that we belong together?" The princess' smile faulted somewhat but Heero wasn't finished.
"I know that you've been having dreams of another life." He started moving toward her.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about Heero." The boy closed the gap between them before he delivered the final blow.
"Yes, you do. You see I was there Relena or should I say Catrina. Especially when I wrapped my fingers around your throat."
Her hand shot-up quickly to her neck. Indeed she had been having dreams, more like nightmares when she was called by that name he mentioned. It was the same one over and over. How she killed Duo and then Heero choked her to death.
From those dreams she came to hate the braided boy because he had the one thing she always wanted and never could have. She would wake-up crying scared of the dream but it was just a dream, right? If it was how did Heero know what happened.
Heero stood only a breath away. Locking his cold blue gaze with her scared Cornflower blue orbs. "Stay away from Duo and me Relena and there won't be a repeat performance."
He turned quickly walking toward the medical wing.
+++++++++++++++++++
Sally had given Duo a clean bill of heath. The only thing that he needed was some rest, but he couldn't. The far away sound of an infant crying was getting to him. He padded soundlessly down a hallway and made a few turns. Duo came across what looked like nursery.
Behind the glass picture window in a clear bassinet was a baby wrapped in pink. The poor thing was crying her heart out. Duo carefully looked around the room searching for someone. After five minutes he gave-up. Duo made his way in the nursery to the infant. All crying ceased once he picked her up and held her close.
"I don't see a name tag for you. Hmm, so that means I'm gonna have give you a name. Um, how about pause uh, Alexis?"
The baby cooed in his arms and decided to grace him with bright eyes. A startled gasped erupted from his lips as he looked into silver-violet orbs then he noticed the mop of chestnut hair. Duo was beside himself the infant resembled him and Nemesis, but that could not be, Nemesis would have told him, right?
"Duo"
The owner of the name turned to find his friend looking at him with all- knowing eyes. Duo was mad. He was beyond mad. He was hot.
"Heero, please tell me that you didn't know?" Duo asked indicating to the soft bundling in his arms. The Wing pilot saw the hurt look in Duo's eyes and the moisture the gathered around them.
"You were never meant to find out about her." He simply answered.
"Why?"
Should he tell him? He couldn't break his heart any more than necessary but the braided boy needed to know. "Nemesis knew that you would become attached to the baby and she couldn't risk you having an emotional break- down because the baby only have twenty-four hours to live."
Duo couldn't believe what he was hearing. "That doesn't make sense? Alexis looks perfectly healthy to me."
"I know Duo but as a genetic safeguard Nemesis can only bare children with those of royal blood." By this time Heero had Duo in his embrace lightly stroking his braid and back.
"There must be something that we can do?" Violet eyes looked pleadingly into Prussian orbs. Heero shook his head no. "Actually, there is something that you can do."
Both boys turned and saw the Amazon standing in the doorway. She slowly made her was to them. She was tired and it showed. Nemesis hasn't fully recovered from childbirth the previous day and on top of that she had to destroy the Oz research lab.
She slept most of the day and now only a few hours remained to perform the joining ceremony. She noticed that Relena had every thing prepared. Now, the only thing left to do was get them to agree with the arrangement.
+++++++++++++++++++
The party celebration was in full swing. Everyone seemed to be enjoying himself or herself. No one questioned Relena's sudden urge to throw a part, and frankly they were glad. After Duo's rescue and the destruction of the Oz base they needed to relax.
Even Lady Une may an appearance. Ever since her run in with Nemesis she stayed away from the dangerous silver-blue eyed beauty. Une was now almost seven months into her pregnancy. Zechs and Noin couldn't believe it when His Excellency announced that he and Une were expecting their first child.
However, Zechs and Noin held a secret that no one in the room could probably fathom in a million years. Except maybe the other five people that were there to witness the event.
***Flashback***
Sitting in their room Zechs and Noin were looking over a recent proposal drawn-up by Queen Serenity to be submitted at the next conference meeting when someone knocked on their door.
"Enter."
They were both shocked and pleased at the same time to see none other than Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell. For some unexplained reason they knew that they young gundam pilots made a cute couple despite that they were the same gender. They clearly saw how much the young pilots loved each other. Although, they never said a word, Zechs and Noin knew from how they behaved when the other was in trouble.
"I take it that this isn't just a social visit." Zechs said slowly rising form his chair.
"Zechs, we need to ask you and Noin a favor." Heero said. Nothing in his voice revealed as to what the pilots could possibly want.
"We-we uh we need you to be witnesses at our wedding ceremony." Duo asked nervously.
Zechs and Noin's mouth dropped opened and hit the floor. They recovered before either boy decided that is was a bad idea. "Are you sure? I mean marriage is a big step but if Zechs agrees then I have no problem with it." Noin replied looking at the Lightening Count, who merely nodded his head.
"Good. Meet us in the chapel in 2 hours, and do not tell anyone about this. Duo and I have our reasons and will inform every one of our union." Heero stated.
Once they boys left, Zechs removed his mask. Running his fingers through long matted bangs. He let out a low sigh. "I wasn't expecting them to say that" His low rich tenor voice filling the silence. Noin shook her head and replied as well. "Neither was I."
***End Flashback***
The grandfather clock chimed tem times. It was ten o'clock. Nemesis stood rooted to the window star glazing. Her guards and the other pilots mingled with each other. Heero was never too far behind Duo. He wanted to keep a close eye on him just in case Relena decided to pull something last minute.
Heero walked next to Duo as he was chatting away with Geta and Zar, who he had found out, were Trunks half-brothers. Heero gently tugged on his braid without gaining suspension. That was Duo's cue that it was time to leave.
"Um, I'll talk with you guys later." Duo said as he turned to his husband.
"We need to go." Heero whispered. No other words were needed. This was their wedding night and both were a little nervous about what was going to happen in just a short while. Duo gave a slight nod.
"Nemesis told me that she have a surprise waiting for us in our room." Duo said smiling.
Heero could only imagine what was waiting. Nemesis was a walking sex goddess and she left nothing to the imagination. Her very presence oozed sensuality. He still remembered when she kissed him when they were trying to rescue Duo. His blood was on fire and he almost stopped breathing. He grew hard from the moment her lips touched his. From that brief encounter he realized that he was attracted to girls just not to Relena.
Before the couple could make their exit, gunfire erupted in the ballroom.
"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE! LISTEN UP! OUR DEMANDS ARE SIMPLE! TURN OVER THE GUNDAM PILOT 01 AND NEMESIS!" a girl with cropped blonde hair stated while her partner lined everyone along the walls.
Heero and the other pilots knew that they could take out the would-be kidnappers but civilian casualties would be far too great. No, another plan was needed.
The other girl was looking the crowd over. Searching. Obviously they knew who they were looking for. It was only a matter of time before they found the soldier and the warrior queen.
"Thara?" The blonde looked over from the crowd of partygoers to her partner. "What is it Marlene?"
"This is pointless" Marlene hissed. Tapping her weapon against her thigh. Everyone was sitting on the floor. Some people were huddled together out of fear except one lone figure that stood looking out the window.
"Maybe I can help you." The tall woman turned around to greet her foes.
"You're who we're looking for. Where is the gundam pilot?" Thara demanded.
"Sorry, he's on vacation."
The girl raised her weapon. "I don't like your attitude or smart mouth." Nemesis slowly eased away from the window. Since she had time to sleep more she was back a full strength.
"I'm guessing that Dermail sent you two here to try and obtain me again."
"He wants his perfect soldiers and that's what he's going to get." This time it was Marlene that answered.
"Too bad he's not going to get it" Nemesis raised both her hands and extracted the weapons. The girls looked shocked beyond anything. They weren't told about this.
Nemesis pulled out her staff. "Now, I'm willing to bet that you girls are just here to ruin a good party, but you see---" She paused as she extend the stick. "---if you want a fight I'll give you one and believe me this is one battle that I plan on winning."
The girls stood in a battle stance as Nemesis charged them. The crowd watched on as the queen swung the staff at their heels. Thara went down immediately. Marlene was knocked unconscious once she hit the floor. Nemesis turned around as she separated the staff in two and begun her assault on Thara.
The girl didn't know what to do strike after strike Thara was utterly helpless. However, Marlene managed to sneak up behind Nemesis and disarm her but that was the least of their problems. Nemesis turned sharply and applied a pressure jab to Marlene's forearm. The limb twitched and she cried out it pain.
Nemesis pivoted on one foot while executing a full body turn bringing her other foot down to break Thara's leg. Another anguished cry was heard. Nemesis landed perfectly between the girl's the fight was over.
Two quick jabs to Marlene's throat and the questions began. "Alright, tell me why Dermail really sent you here." Marlene huffed but said nothing. "There is no need for you to struggle. Tell me what I wanna know or die slowly from the lack of blood flow to your brain!"
"He-he wants the ba-baby! He knows that you had a kid and wants it" A surprised looked was on Nemesis' face as she fled from the ballroom. "Hey! You promise to let me go if I told you what you wanted!"
The lithe Amazon stood at the door. "No, I told you that there was no need to struggle. You were going to die regardless." With that she disappeared running toward the nursery.
The ballroom was a tattered mess. The guards and pilots ushered the guests to the door to leave. After what happened it was best if everyone went home. The estate guards picked up the body of Marlene and the unconscious Thara. Nemesis would deal with her once she returned.
Trowa looked at Quatre with a concern looked. He had that feeling also that something was wrong but couldn't put his finger on it. "Quatre?"
"I'm fine, Trowa. I think that I just need some rest. A lot of emotions are running high and it's giving me a headache."
"Very well." Trowa told Heero that he was taking Quatre to their room and putting him to bed.
"You might as well get some rest yourself Trowa. There's nothing else that we can do." Heero said looking around the chaos.
The taller pilot gave a nod and left. Trowa felt a strong pull from Heero as he stood next to Duo but couldn't place the feeling. Too much was going on in his head to figure it all out. He'll deal with it in the morning.
WuFei and Sally were tending to anyone that was injured as well as Zechs and Noin. Luckily Treize had already took Une to their room. The Imperial Guard was standing by just in case any thing else happened. Relena just stared at Duo with hated filled eyes. She would have Heero no matter what.
::Duo, I need for you and Heero to come to the nursery quickly please::
"Hey, Heero. Nemesis just summoned us. Let's go."
+++++++++++++++++++
The pilots were greeted by silence. The look on Nemesis face told them what they were not prepared for. Heero's internal clock told him that they were too late. He kept Duo at the door. He didn't want Duo upset anymore than he was already.
"That bastard!" He hissed quietly. "That bastard took our daughter." Duo leaned into Heero's chest and cried softly.
Prussian eyes met sad silver-blues ones. Nemesis didn't know what to say. She stood by an empty bassinet. Now, more than ever she wants this war to be over. She's ready to go back home and rule her planet how it should be ruled. She was tired of the gods and their games.
She was ready for her existence to end. She could handle the rebirths but she couldn't handle how one man just destroyed three lives with one simple action. She turned and faced the couple. "I'm sorry. I failed."
"No, Nemesis you didn't fail. You did every thing that was in your power to prevent this. Besides, you did something that I will always be thankful for and that was make us see that we belonged together." Heero said. He held Duo closer. "We can always adopted later." He finally said with a smile.
Nemesis kept her thoughts to herself. "I'm glad that you feel that way Yuy. Why don't you guys get some rest? We need time to figure out what we're going to do next because I want Dermail's head on a platter."
She walked out of the nursery leaving the couple staring after her.
"Duo"
"Hmm?"
"You need some rest" Heero suggested but he had other things on his mind. After all *this* was his wedding night.
"Yeah, your right Heero. Let's go." Duo said totally missing the mischief dancing in his mate's eyes.
+++++++++++++++++++
Heero and Duo finally made it to their room. They decided to let Trunks stay in Duo's part of the room while he shared the perfect soldier's. They stealthily entered the darken room and walked by the young sleeping immortal. Heero cautiously opened his bedroom door only to the greeted by glowing scented candles. He heard Duo gasp behind him as they came in and shut the door.
That scent. It was cinnamon. That was Duo's scent. Heero was in heaven. On the corner night table was a basket filled with assorted tubes of lubricant and condoms as well as flowers and mixed fruit; in addition to wipes and hand towels. Nemesis wasn't kidding when she said that she had a surprise waiting for them. This was not something that they were expecting.
Duo turned and faced Heero. His breath tickled his elfin face. "We don't have to do this you know. I'm mean the only reason why we were doing this was because of Alexis and she's no longer mmffphh"
Heero kissed him quiet. The kiss was tender. Heero glide his tongue over Duo's lower lip asking for admittance. The braided boy parted his swelling lips and let Heero in. Duo couldn't believe it. His dream was actually coming true. He had wanted to do this for so long and now is was happening.
He moaned into the kiss. Heero reached behind him and pulled loose the bind that held the long thick rope of hair in place. Heero pulled away and lead him to the bed. The Japanese boy eased the American onto the mattress.
His hands roamed the lithe body beneath him. Heero saw Duo plenty of times in only a towel but tonight he was going to see it all. He removed Duo's black jacket and white collard shirt. Heero could feel the tightness of his spandex shorts but he was going to take his time. He lowered his lips to Duo's once again taken him with much need.
Duo moved his hands down his partner's sides and pulled up on the tank top and tossed that on the other side of the bed. Heero began his decent he move to his neck licking and sucking on the tender fleshed there. Biting into skin Duo whimpered from the sensation as Heero trailed his tongue over the bruised flesh. Marking him as his. He went a little lower, circling his tongue over one nipple until it became pert under his torture while slowly teasing the other.
Duo wiggled under to agonizing slowly pace that Heero set. His harden member rubbed against Heero's stomach. He wanted more contact and he wasn't getting it. Heero slid his tongue down Duo's firm stomach. Perfect not an ounce of fat anywhere.
Heero ran into another roadblock but not for long. He slowly ghosted his hands up his husband's thighs rubbing against his hard cock. He unzipped the baggy pants. He slipped them off and tossed them away with the other discarded pieces of clothes.
Duo wasn't wearing any boxers. How convenient. Heero smiled at that thought looking down at him. His mate's long hair was spreaded out beneath him a like a river of honey adding a celestial look to his being. Duo was absolutely gorgeous.
Duo's member bounces slightly from the sudden release of his clothes. He was going to get Heero back for making him wait. He was painfully hard and needed release but he would buy his time. Once again Heero lowered himself to where he left off on Duo's stomach tracing his tongue around his need. Duo bolted his hips forward to letting him know that he was neglecting something very important but Heero ignore him.
"Dammit! Heero! Stop being a tease!" Duo growled.
"Rather impatient?" Heero said. Finally he decided that play time was over. He needed this as well. He ran his tongue along the under side of Duo's harden flesh and over the slit tasting the wetness that escaped. He heard a slight moan but wasn't for sure. Heero circled around the tip and took him deep. Duo thrusted his hips forward but Heero held him down.
Duo was in heaven. He felt the warm wetness of Heero's mouth on him almost swallowing him whole.
"Oh! God! Heero." The blue eyed boy licked and sucked on him as if he was a popsicle. Nipping at the flesh lightly.
"Aaahhh!" Duo was on the edge, he didn't know that Heero would be able to do this to him. Then the sensation was gone.
"What the fu---" Duo was not happy when Heero pulled away from him, but then he saw what his husband was up to. Heero removed the last of his clothes and opened one of the many tubes of scented lube. Heero had poured a gracious amount on his fingers and went back to his previous position.
Slowly, Heero slid one finger over his love's entrance coating it with the lube then he pushed one finger in. Duo hissed from the invasion but quieted after Heero put his sweet lips back on him. Making him forget about the pain. Heero added another slender finger with the first preparing him. Duo's eyes popped opened when Heero found his spot. Stars danced slowly in front of his eyes as Heero moved his fingers in and out hitting his pleasure zone with each movement.
"Yeess!" Duo cried out. He felt the pressure building within him it was only a matter of mere seconds before--- "You bastard!" Heero had again left him hanging without release. Now, Duo knew what type of lover he had. Heero had no mercy on him. He wasn't going to beg but he would be damn if Heero didn't finish the job some time tonight.
Heero just laughed at the passion gaze look on Duo's face. He also saw the frustration clearly written there as well. Heero was torturing himself by not fulfilling his needs.
Duo noticed that Heero removed his fingers and felt something larger. /Oh, god, yes this is it!/ Heero slowly pushed his way in through the tight rings of muscles. He exhaled. He never thought that Duo would feel this tight. The braided boy felt the pulsing sensation of his lover's shaft in him filling him. It was almost too much to bare.
Alone tear escaped the violet orbs Heero licked droplet. Duo began to move. Heero pulled out slowly and moved back in. Again his pace was slow and Duo was not having that at all.
"Faster!" He demanded.
Heero complied with the simple request. He thrusted faster into the slight body below him. Sweat poured off them as the only sound was heard was their heavy breathing and skin slapping again skin.
"You.Are.Mine.Duo!" Heero growled in his ear. He reached between their slick bodies and begun stroking Duo's redden cock in time with each thrusthed that he pounded into him.
"AHH!!! YEESS!!! YEESS!!! Right there baby!!!" Duo shouted as he spilt his essence all over his stomach and Heero's. The dark haired boy followed soon after his lover's loud call filling Duo with his seeds.
They were totally unaware that their bodies were wrapped in a soft blue- violet glow as their souls became as one.
Heero collapsed on top of Duo panting hard. He had managed to grabbed the towel on the night table and wipe them off. Heero pulled up the covers over them and slung his arm over Duo's slim waist.
Heero kissed him on the temple. Duo was finally his and he was never letting him go. He pulled his love closer to him spooning against his back. The candles had begun to die out casting the room in total darkness. A soft purring sound could be heard from the now sated Duo as they both drifted off to sleep.
+++++++++++++++++++
If the room had been lit the couple would have saw each other's markings, one of a Scythe and the other of a Sword. The mark of Death and War.

A/N: Duo and Heero are together. Guess what happens when you know who finds out. And has anyone figured out who is the mysterious deity?
Well, tell me what you think? That was my first 1x2 lemon. If is sucked then I'm sorry. Nemesis

Nemesis: Thanks Jordan for your fantastic input! I'm sorry to say that some of your questions won't get answered in this chapter but don't worry they will in the next.
I'm going to be a little slow putting out chapters now. I haven't finished writing them. I will put them out as quickly as possible. I actually put 'Confused' on hold since I was having wonderful responses on this fic. Thanks again ^_~

Silver-blue eyes burned into sky blue orbs. The princess gulped a little from the unnerving look that she was receiving from the older female. Granted that the woman made an impressive reentry, but something told the princess that her presence was the cause of the total chaos in the med-lab.
"Pegasus" Nemesis spoke in her authoritative voice.
"Yes, your Majesty?"
"Ready me in ten minutes. Make sure that the guards and pilots are ready to depart once I am battle equipped." Nemesis never took her eyes off Relena. Her orders giving, the queen's attendant left.
"Princess Relena, you are not to come in contact with any of the pilot-"
"Now, just one damn minute" Relena cut in.
"SILENCE!!!" Nemesis voice shook the all ready battered room and shattered more windows.
She sounded like a banshee getting ready to rip her next victim apart. Relena, Heero, and Sally fell to their knees from the ear piercing sound. They never knew the full magnitude of the queen's power and now it seems that they were going to find out.
Out of anger Nemesis grabbed Relena by the throat hauled her off the floor. Relena's feet dangled high above the floor.
"Now listen very closely." She growled low in her throat for emphasis. "You are to reframe from any further contact with the pilots. To not do so would prove hazardous to your health. If you need to speak to any one of them, one of MY guards will be present. You will address them in accordance to MY official ranking whenever we are diplomatically socializing. Do I make myself clear."
Relena felt the same fear that that L2 brat evoked just a short time ago. All she could was nod her head in compliance. Relena dropped to the floor in a huddled mass quietly sobbing.
"Capt. Yuy, please escort the princess to her room and then meet me in mine." Nemesis swiftly crossed the lab retracing her wings as she went. She stopped briefly at Sally, who stared blankly at the Amazon.
"Sally, we will be leaving shortly. I will send my sons in here to aid with the clean up. Also, keep the baby out of sight. I do not want Lt. Maxwell to see her. Is that understood?"
Sally just nodded her answer for fear her voice would betray how she really felt.

The long drive went along in an uncomfortable silence. The driver watched the road and other vehicles pass by. The passenger stared out the window watching the city go by in flashes. The scenery slowly changed from commercial buildings and house to densely covered forest.
"We are almost there" Heero announced, his internal clock alerting him of the time.
"Remember Yuy, get in quick and find Duo, and get the Hell out. Mara and Trunks will be standing by."
"Roger that."
+++++++++++++++++++
The pick-up truck pulled into a long driveway of the base that housed the captured Shinigami. Neither of the occupants of the truck showed nervousness or fear. A guard emerged from the guardhouse to inquire about their business.
"This is a restricted military base. No civilians are allowed." The guard vented obviously he hated his job.
"He does not speak." The sultry alto vice answered.
"Really" The guard finally got a good look at the passenger. He bent low into the open window. "I am here to meet with Commander Nicolai Sumantra."
"And who might you be young lady?" The guard asked grinning like an idiot. One simple name had him on the run. "Nemesis."
The guard staggered back as if he was punched in the face. He practically ran back to his shed and radioed to the main compound that their long awaited guest had finally arrived. After some minutes the guard returned.
"I'm sorry but you're gonna have to park your vehicle over there and walk. You will also be body searched to make sure that you're not caring any weapons."
Heero and Nemesis found themselves inside the gates cautiously moving toward the main building when more guards appeared and surrounded them. Two guards separated Heero from Nemesis while she stood there with her hands in the air.
"We need to check for weapons" One of the taller guards said.
"My servant is unarmed."
"Do you honestly think we're just gonna take your word for it, lady?"
"I'm not going to argue with you, but wearing an outfit like that? Were do you think he's going to put it?" Nemesis smirked.
Everyone carefully looked over the brown-eyed youth (A/N: Shh, don't say anything but Heero has in colored contacts). He was wearing what seems to be a snug form fitting black spandex body suit.
The body suit had long sleeves that stopped at his wrists, and a low u- shaped neckline. The outfit was completed with black leather boots. Showing off well-defined muscles and a lean body. Yes, the boy was very pleasing to the eye.
"We will accept your word on this for now." The taller guard said while lustfully gazing at her 'servant'.
"I'm only going to say this once Lt. If you or any of your officers touch him, you're dead." Her vice dropped a few degrees lower.
The Lt. In charge laughed a little. "I'm just admiring the view."
"Well, don't it's in your health's best interest to keep it to yourself." She dropped her eyes to his groin with a scowl.
"What's he to you anyway?" He asked nervously as he felt his fatigues became unbearably tight.
She slowly encircled Heero. Her hands lightly touching him. He lowered his head in submission to show them her authority over him. "He's my concubine." To show emphasis she grabbed the back of his dark hair snapping his head up and crushed her lips upon his. When she finished the bruising kiss, he lowered his head again.
The Lt. stood there with eyes and mouth wide open. After a minute or so he finally motion for the boy to be taken. "Okay, Vince you do the body search on her."
Extentanl speakers crackled from being turned on. ["Welcome, Nemesis! We have been waiting a long time for you."]
"Now that I am here, release the gundam pilot!" She spit back.
["I'm afraid that I can't do that just yet. I have to make absolute sure you are who you say you are."]
"What kind of trick are you up to?"
["No trick my dear just a series of tests. The first test is for you to make into the main compound. The men around you are highly skilled Martial Artists and weapon experts. Do be careful they have explicit instructions to kill you if you're an imposter. Oh! And one more thing, good luck."]
The speaker disconnected the feed. Nemesis was now going to get a warm-up. The guard was still trying to body search her. She counted a total of nine sharp shooters atop of the three buildings, three to each building. She figured that if the ground troops fail to subdue her then they would be the ones to take her down, probably with tranquilizers no doubt.
"Hey baby? When we're all done here why don't we hang out for awhile, if you know what I mean." The guard winked at Nemesis. She just stared at him while he pat her down then sliding his hand back up between her legs. He missed the Sais in her boots and her other hidden weapons.
"Why? So I can be bored to death." She said dryly.
"Why you bitch!" He slapped her. All the other men laughed as she spun to the ground in a tumbled heap. "Why don't we just cut to the chase fellas and have out fun right here?" Another man suggested.
Nemesis was still on the ground. "Now, if we did that, then I wouldn't be able to *kick.your.ass*!" She brought up her left leg and kicked the guard in his stomach sending him sailing across the open courtyard.
The other guards watched in fascinating shock as the Amazon moved. Reaching into her boots she pulled out her Sais twirling them in sync. She positioned one along her the length of her right arm and positioned the other aimed forward.
They all lunged for her; she back flipped out of the encroaching circle. She landed behind two of them. Screams of death could be heard as she impaled the men with the dagger like weapons.
One by one the guards fell. One of them did kick the Sais out of her hands but she recovered from the blow. Nemesis began her pressure point assault. One jab to the heart and it was over. Death was instantaneous.
The sharp shooters took aim and begun their bergage of darts. Nemesis flipped and dodged the darts. She made her way to the first building scaling up the wall quickly. She approached the three guards. "I'm over here boys."
As the guards turned she flung her throwing stars killing them on impact. Nemesis continued on until she was the only one left standing. "Martial Artists indeed" She snorted retrieving her weapons that she lost early into the fight. She then proceeded to the main building.
Once inside she was accosted by a hoard of doctors in lab coats. She let them lead her into an examination room. After a few minutes another doctor entered the room.
"Hello. My name is-"
"Dr. Caryn ValJean" Nemesis calmly interjected. Her head ached a little from the use of telepathy but as long as she didn't over do it she would be fine.
"Yes and you must be Nemesis. I'm here to do a few tests if you don't mind but first I need to draw some blood."
"Look. I'm here for the release of the gundam pilot not your test subject. And besides, my blood will solidify before the tube is filled." Nemesis smiled. A confused look was on the good doctor's face.
"But I need to confirm that you are the real deal"
"Very well, but I warn you if you try any thing that I do not approve of pause I will not hesitate to kill you." Nemesis threatened. She needed to give Heero time to located Duo then all Hell will break loose.
After six test tubes of useless blood the doctor gave-up. 'I don't get it?' She muttered to herself. She gathered what she could and left. "The commander will visit you after I give him my report." The doctor gently closed the door behind her.
Nemesis stood at the window looking out into the darkness of night when a figure shimmered into the room. The Amazon turned and greeted her guest.
"It's been awhile?" The queen said.
"Yes. Yes it has"
"So, what brings you to the realm of mortals?" Nemesis asked.
"I have a message. The gods will allow your child to live provided that you give-up your parental claim and declare Duo the birth mother."
"Why? When he's the father." Nemesis didn't understand what the gods want. Any thing that they did never made sense to her.
"They know that. However, they feel that because of his lineage his offspring should live. After all, the child will grow-up to be Great like her mother and father." The woman quietly waited for an answer.
"Okay, Celeste what's the catch. The gods are not doing this out of the goodness of their hearts." Nemesis demanded.
"Duo needs to legally wed and bind the marriage by midnight tomorrow."
"Damn you all! That's not enough time to perform the ceremony and have them bind it!" Nemesis was livid.
"I will send word to the princess and make sure that she has the banquet all ready. The only thing you have to do is get Duo and his mate to the altar."
"They are finally coming together. Duo's capture is going to bring them closer together. They do not need a child to complicate things. What if they do not agree to this?" Nemesis said pinching the bridge of her nose.
"Then the child will die." The deity removed her hood on her dark cloak revealing a long knee-length braid. She stepped closer to the Amazon queen. "Do not worry Nemesis. Every thing will be how it should."
"I hope you're right Celeste. I hope you're right." Nemesis glanced back out the window. She was once again alone in the sterile room to her thoughts, but little did she know that she watched from a hidden camera.

Once Heero took care of his guards and dispensed with the contacts, he wasted no time locating Duo. Most of the guards in this sector were not needed. He had discovered that for some unexplainable reason the former commander died at the hands of the Deathscythe Hell pilot as well as a few others. Oz has had him quarantine since the incident.
He hacked into the computer to release the locks on the door. He slipped quietly into the cell. As the door closed Heero was grabbed quickly from behind but soon his attacker found themselves on their back staring into blazing Prussian eyes.
"Duo, why did you attack me?"
"Heero?" Bright violet orbs blinked in confusion.
"Hai. It's me. I'm here to get you out." Heero offered his hand and helped his partner to his feet. Duo took note of Heero's attire and suddenly felt warm. "Duo, you okay?" Heero noticed how flushed the other pilot looked.
"Yeah, man. I'm fine. May I ask why are you wearing spandex?"
Heero gave a little smile before he answered. "I poised as Nemesis' concubine. It was the only way I could get in here."
"Nemesis is back?" Duo's eyes widen from the shock of the warrior's return and Heero's sudden beaming smile. He wished that Heero smile more often, his smile was beautiful.
"Hai, but we'll talk about that later. Right now, let's get you out of here." Heero reached inside his boot and pulled out a mini headset radio. Slight static could be heard over the earpiece then a female voice came through.
"Mara here"
"We're ready" Heero's flat tone announced.
"We're on our way"
Mara and Trunks located Heero's energy signature and levitated to the cell window. Mara looked inside and saw Heero standing next to a very beautiful boy with long braided hair. She almost dropped out of mid-air when she saw the one that they were rescuing. After a few seconds Mara pulled herself backed together. "Heero. I need for you two to stand back."
Mara and Trunks blasted a huge hole in the wall. Alarms were sounding off as Mara grabbed onto Heero and Trunks scooped-up Duo. Neither pilot questioned their 'ride' as they flew off into the night.
The group landed at camp some distance away. Trowa and WuFei were waiting. Duo was the first to recover. "What the fuck is going on?! How in the Hell can you guys fly?!"
"My name is Trunks and this is my step-sister Mara. My father is a Saiyan Prince from a planet called Vegetasei. I am half human half Saiyan. Mara's father is from a conquered planet called Quadrant 51. Both of our races have the ability to fly."
Duo relaxed somewhat but he didn't let up on the questions. "I've heard of Vegetasei. That was destroyed a long time ago. How can you still be alive if the last of the Saiyan race lived almost a millenium ago?" One thing you gotta know about Duo was that he knew his history.
"After my father and mother died. I went to Nemesis asked her if I could stay with her. She told me that I could stay with her for as long as I wished. I was granted immortality as well as Mara and the others. In return we protect and serve Nemesis. Not that she needs it of course."
"How old are you?" Trowa quietly asked finding Trunks story a little intriguing.
"When I became immoral I was twenty-five and the same goes for Mara. My real age pause I couldn't tell you. I lost count after two hundred." Trunks said while shrugging his shoulder.
The pilots face vaulted. They couldn't believe it. The lavender hair boy was over two hundred years old. What's next? They will be telling them that they were gods and could command the people around them.
"We better be getting back to Sank before Oz finds us out here." WuFei stated after getting over what the other youth told them.
"What about Nemesis?" Duo asked not moving from his spot next to Heero.
"Don't worry about her. She will be fine." Mara answered.
~ Sank Kingdom ~
In the common room everyone was watching the wide screen movie television listening to the news.
[---The cause of the massive explosion is still unknown. However, sources say that the Gundams might have played a huge part in the destruction of the ruin research facility. In other news---]
The former Oz general stood looking at the sad faces before him. "Do not worry I'm sure that they made it out in time."
Just when Noin was about to speak they heard. "Weee'rre baaack!" Quatre's head snapped-up to the lively voice. 'Duo' he whispered. Said person walked in the room with his friends close behind. "DUO!" The Arabian jumped up from his seat and crashed into his friend. Muffled sobs could be heard as Duo hugged him.
"Shh, it's okay Q. I'm here and everybody's fine."
Sally was the next to approach the group. "How are you feeling Duo?"
"I'm just tired. Those doctors pumped me full of junk and I can't seem to keep a single thought straight."
"Well, let's go to the med-lab and let me look you over."
Duo disengages himself form Quatre and passed him over to Trowa. Once the blonde had calmed down, Trowa escorted him to their room. Noin joined Sally to assist her with Duo. Treize and Zechs left to set-up peace negotiations with Oz, again. As always, WuFei went to meditate somewhere and Trunks and Mara wanted for the others to return. Heero wasn't as lucky to leave the room unnoticed.
"Wait! Heero."
"Relena. We've been through this before. Why are you making it difficult?"
"Because I know that Nemesis is wrong"
"No she isn't. Nemesis told me something before all this crap went down, but what I wanna know Relena is why you feel that we belong together?" The princess' smile faulted somewhat but Heero wasn't finished.
"I know that you've been having dreams of another life." He started moving toward her.
"I-I don't know what you're talking about Heero." The boy closed the gap between them before he delivered the final blow.
"Yes, you do. You see I was there Relena or should I say Catrina. Especially when I wrapped my fingers around your throat."
Her hand shot-up quickly to her neck. Indeed she had been having dreams, more like nightmares when she was called by that name he mentioned. It was the same one over and over. How she killed Duo and then Heero choked her to death.
From those dreams she came to hate the braided boy because he had the one thing she always wanted and never could have. She would wake-up crying scared of the dream but it was just a dream, right? If it was how did Heero know what happened.
Heero stood only a breath away. Locking his cold blue gaze with her scared Cornflower blue orbs. "Stay away from Duo and me Relena and there won't be a repeat performance."
He turned quickly walking toward the medical wing.
+++++++++++++++++++
Sally had given Duo a clean bill of heath. The only thing that he needed was some rest, but he couldn't. The far away sound of an infant crying was getting to him. He padded soundlessly down a hallway and made a few turns. Duo came across what looked like nursery.
Behind the glass picture window in a clear bassinet was a baby wrapped in pink. The poor thing was crying her heart out. Duo carefully looked around the room searching for someone. After five minutes he gave-up. Duo made his way in the nursery to the infant. All crying ceased once he picked her up and held her close.
"I don't see a name tag for you. Hmm, so that means I'm gonna have give you a name. Um, how about pause uh, Alexis?"
The baby cooed in his arms and decided to grace him with bright eyes. A startled gasped erupted from his lips as he looked into silver-violet orbs then he noticed the mop of chestnut hair. Duo was beside himself the infant resembled him and Nemesis, but that could not be, Nemesis would have told him, right?
"Duo"
The owner of the name turned to find his friend looking at him with all- knowing eyes. Duo was mad. He was beyond mad. He was hot.
"Heero, please tell me that you didn't know?" Duo asked indicating to the soft bundling in his arms. The Wing pilot saw the hurt look in Duo's eyes and the moisture the gathered around them.
"You were never meant to find out about her." He simply answered.
"Why?"
Should he tell him? He couldn't break his heart any more than necessary but the braided boy needed to know. "Nemesis knew that you would become attached to the baby and she couldn't risk you having an emotional break- down because the baby only have twenty-four hours to live."
Duo couldn't believe what he was hearing. "That doesn't make sense? Alexis looks perfectly healthy to me."
"I know Duo but as a genetic safeguard Nemesis can only bare children with those of royal blood." By this time Heero had Duo in his embrace lightly stroking his braid and back.
"There must be something that we can do?" Violet eyes looked pleadingly into Prussian orbs. Heero shook his head no. "Actually, there is something that you can do."
Both boys turned and saw the Amazon standing in the doorway. She slowly made her was to them. She was tired and it showed. Nemesis hasn't fully recovered from childbirth the previous day and on top of that she had to destroy the Oz research lab.
She slept most of the day and now only a few hours remained to perform the joining ceremony. She noticed that Relena had every thing prepared. Now, the only thing left to do was get them to agree with the arrangement.
+++++++++++++++++++
The party celebration was in full swing. Everyone seemed to be enjoying himself or herself. No one questioned Relena's sudden urge to throw a part, and frankly they were glad. After Duo's rescue and the destruction of the Oz base they needed to relax.
Even Lady Une may an appearance. Ever since her run in with Nemesis she stayed away from the dangerous silver-blue eyed beauty. Une was now almost seven months into her pregnancy. Zechs and Noin couldn't believe it when His Excellency announced that he and Une were expecting their first child.
However, Zechs and Noin held a secret that no one in the room could probably fathom in a million years. Except maybe the other five people that were there to witness the event.
***Flashback***
Sitting in their room Zechs and Noin were looking over a recent proposal drawn-up by Queen Serenity to be submitted at the next conference meeting when someone knocked on their door.
"Enter."
They were both shocked and pleased at the same time to see none other than Heero Yuy and Duo Maxwell. For some unexplained reason they knew that they young gundam pilots made a cute couple despite that they were the same gender. They clearly saw how much the young pilots loved each other. Although, they never said a word, Zechs and Noin knew from how they behaved when the other was in trouble.
"I take it that this isn't just a social visit." Zechs said slowly rising form his chair.
"Zechs, we need to ask you and Noin a favor." Heero said. Nothing in his voice revealed as to what the pilots could possibly want.
"We-we uh we need you to be witnesses at our wedding ceremony." Duo asked nervously.
Zechs and Noin's mouth dropped opened and hit the floor. They recovered before either boy decided that is was a bad idea. "Are you sure? I mean marriage is a big step but if Zechs agrees then I have no problem with it." Noin replied looking at the Lightening Count, who merely nodded his head.
"Good. Meet us in the chapel in 2 hours, and do not tell anyone about this. Duo and I have our reasons and will inform every one of our union." Heero stated.
Once they boys left, Zechs removed his mask. Running his fingers through long matted bangs. He let out a low sigh. "I wasn't expecting them to say that" His low rich tenor voice filling the silence. Noin shook her head and replied as well. "Neither was I."
***End Flashback***
The grandfather clock chimed tem times. It was ten o'clock. Nemesis stood rooted to the window star glazing. Her guards and the other pilots mingled with each other. Heero was never too far behind Duo. He wanted to keep a close eye on him just in case Relena decided to pull something last minute.
Heero walked next to Duo as he was chatting away with Geta and Zar, who he had found out, were Trunks half-brothers. Heero gently tugged on his braid without gaining suspension. That was Duo's cue that it was time to leave.
"Um, I'll talk with you guys later." Duo said as he turned to his husband.
"We need to go." Heero whispered. No other words were needed. This was their wedding night and both were a little nervous about what was going to happen in just a short while. Duo gave a slight nod.
"Nemesis told me that she have a surprise waiting for us in our room." Duo said smiling.
Heero could only imagine what was waiting. Nemesis was a walking sex goddess and she left nothing to the imagination. Her very presence oozed sensuality. He still remembered when she kissed him when they were trying to rescue Duo. His blood was on fire and he almost stopped breathing. He grew hard from the moment her lips touched his. From that brief encounter he realized that he was attracted to girls just not to Relena.
Before the couple could make their exit, gunfire erupted in the ballroom.
"ALL RIGHT EVERYONE! LISTEN UP! OUR DEMANDS ARE SIMPLE! TURN OVER THE GUNDAM PILOT 01 AND NEMESIS!" a girl with cropped blonde hair stated while her partner lined everyone along the walls.
Heero and the other pilots knew that they could take out the would-be kidnappers but civilian casualties would be far too great. No, another plan was needed.
The other girl was looking the crowd over. Searching. Obviously they knew who they were looking for. It was only a matter of time before they found the soldier and the warrior queen.
"Thara?" The blonde looked over from the crowd of partygoers to her partner. "What is it Marlene?"
"This is pointless" Marlene hissed. Tapping her weapon against her thigh. Everyone was sitting on the floor. Some people were huddled together out of fear except one lone figure that stood looking out the window.
"Maybe I can help you." The tall woman turned around to greet her foes.
"You're who we're looking for. Where is the gundam pilot?" Thara demanded.
"Sorry, he's on vacation."
The girl raised her weapon. "I don't like your attitude or smart mouth." Nemesis slowly eased away from the window. Since she had time to sleep more she was back a full strength.
"I'm guessing that Dermail sent you two here to try and obtain me again."
"He wants his perfect soldiers and that's what he's going to get." This time it was Marlene that answered.
"Too bad he's not going to get it" Nemesis raised both her hands and extracted the weapons. The girls looked shocked beyond anything. They weren't told about this.
Nemesis pulled out her staff. "Now, I'm willing to bet that you girls are just here to ruin a good party, but you see---" She paused as she extend the stick. "---if you want a fight I'll give you one and believe me this is one battle that I plan on winning."
The girls stood in a battle stance as Nemesis charged them. The crowd watched on as the queen swung the staff at their heels. Thara went down immediately. Marlene was knocked unconscious once she hit the floor. Nemesis turned around as she separated the staff in two and begun her assault on Thara.
The girl didn't know what to do strike after strike Thara was utterly helpless. However, Marlene managed to sneak up behind Nemesis and disarm her but that was the least of their problems. Nemesis turned sharply and applied a pressure jab to Marlene's forearm. The limb twitched and she cried out it pain.
Nemesis pivoted on one foot while executing a full body turn bringing her other foot down to break Thara's leg. Another anguished cry was heard. Nemesis landed perfectly between the girl's the fight was over.
Two quick jabs to Marlene's throat and the questions began. "Alright, tell me why Dermail really sent you here." Marlene huffed but said nothing. "There is no need for you to struggle. Tell me what I wanna know or die slowly from the lack of blood flow to your brain!"
"He-he wants the ba-baby! He knows that you had a kid and wants it" A surprised looked was on Nemesis' face as she fled from the ballroom. "Hey! You promise to let me go if I told you what you wanted!"
The lithe Amazon stood at the door. "No, I told you that there was no need to struggle. You were going to die regardless." With that she disappeared running toward the nursery.
The ballroom was a tattered mess. The guards and pilots ushered the guests to the door to leave. After what happened it was best if everyone went home. The estate guards picked up the body of Marlene and the unconscious Thara. Nemesis would deal with her once she returned.
Trowa looked at Quatre with a concern looked. He had that feeling also that something was wrong but couldn't put his finger on it. "Quatre?"
"I'm fine, Trowa. I think that I just need some rest. A lot of emotions are running high and it's giving me a headache."
"Very well." Trowa told Heero that he was taking Quatre to their room and putting him to bed.
"You might as well get some rest yourself Trowa. There's nothing else that we can do." Heero said looking around the chaos.
The taller pilot gave a nod and left. Trowa felt a strong pull from Heero as he stood next to Duo but couldn't place the feeling. Too much was going on in his head to figure it all out. He'll deal with it in the morning.
WuFei and Sally were tending to anyone that was injured as well as Zechs and Noin. Luckily Treize had already took Une to their room. The Imperial Guard was standing by just in case any thing else happened. Relena just stared at Duo with hated filled eyes. She would have Heero no matter what.
::Duo, I need for you and Heero to come to the nursery quickly please::
"Hey, Heero. Nemesis just summoned us. Let's go."
+++++++++++++++++++
The pilots were greeted by silence. The look on Nemesis face told them what they were not prepared for. Heero's internal clock told him that they were too late. He kept Duo at the door. He didn't want Duo upset anymore than he was already.
"That bastard!" He hissed quietly. "That bastard took our daughter." Duo leaned into Heero's chest and cried softly.
Prussian eyes met sad silver-blues ones. Nemesis didn't know what to say. She stood by an empty bassinet. Now, more than ever she wants this war to be over. She's ready to go back home and rule her planet how it should be ruled. She was tired of the gods and their games.
She was ready for her existence to end. She could handle the rebirths but she couldn't handle how one man just destroyed three lives with one simple action. She turned and faced the couple. "I'm sorry. I failed."
"No, Nemesis you didn't fail. You did every thing that was in your power to prevent this. Besides, you did something that I will always be thankful for and that was make us see that we belonged together." Heero said. He held Duo closer. "We can always adopted later." He finally said with a smile.
Nemesis kept her thoughts to herself. "I'm glad that you feel that way Yuy. Why don't you guys get some rest? We need time to figure out what we're going to do next because I want Dermail's head on a platter."
She walked out of the nursery leaving the couple staring after her.
"Duo"
"Hmm?"
"You need some rest" Heero suggested but he had other things on his mind. After all *this* was his wedding night.
"Yeah, your right Heero. Let's go." Duo said totally missing the mischief dancing in his mate's eyes.

Heero and Duo finally made it to their room. They decided to let Trunks stay in Duo's part of the room while he shared the perfect soldier's. They stealthily entered the darken room and walked by the young sleeping immortal. Heero cautiously opened his bedroom door only to the greeted by glowing scented candles. He heard Duo gasp behind him as they came in and shut the door.
That scent. It was cinnamon. That was Duo's scent. Heero was in heaven. On the corner night table was a basket filled with assorted tubes of lubricant and condoms as well as flowers and mixed fruit; in addition to wipes and hand towels. Nemesis wasn't kidding when she said that she had a surprise waiting for them. This was not something that they were expecting.
Duo turned and faced Heero. His breath tickled his elfin face. "We don't have to do this you know. I'm mean the only reason why we were doing this was because of Alexis and she's no longer mmffphh"
Heero kissed him quiet. The kiss was tender. Heero glide his tongue over Duo's lower lip asking for admittance. The braided boy parted his swelling lips and let Heero in. Duo couldn't believe it. His dream was actually coming true. He had wanted to do this for so long and now is was happening.
He moaned into the kiss. Heero reached behind him and pulled loose the bind that held the long thick rope of hair in place. Heero pulled away and lead him to the bed. The Japanese boy eased the American onto the mattress.
His hands roamed the lithe body beneath him. Heero saw Duo plenty of times in only a towel but tonight he was going to see it all. He removed Duo's black jacket and white collard shirt. Heero could feel the tightness of his spandex shorts but he was going to take his time. He lowered his lips to Duo's once again taken him with much need.
Duo moved his hands down his partner's sides and pulled up on the tank top and tossed that on the other side of the bed. Heero began his decent he move to his neck licking and sucking on the tender fleshed there. Biting into skin Duo whimpered from the sensation as Heero trailed his tongue over the bruised flesh. Marking him as his. He went a little lower, circling his tongue over one nipple until it became pert under his torture while slowly teasing the other.
Duo wiggled under to agonizing slowly pace that Heero set. His harden member rubbed against Heero's stomach. He wanted more contact and he wasn't getting it. Heero slid his tongue down Duo's firm stomach. Perfect not an ounce of fat anywhere.
Heero ran into another roadblock but not for long. He slowly ghosted his hands up his husband's thighs rubbing against his hard cock. He unzipped the baggy pants. He slipped them off and tossed them away with the other discarded pieces of clothes.
Duo wasn't wearing any boxers. How convenient. Heero smiled at that thought looking down at him. His mate's long hair was spreaded out beneath him a like a river of honey adding a celestial look to his being. Duo was absolutely gorgeous.
Duo's member bounces slightly from the sudden release of his clothes. He was going to get Heero back for making him wait. He was painfully hard and needed release but he would buy his time. Once again Heero lowered himself to where he left off on Duo's stomach tracing his tongue around his need. Duo bolted his hips forward to letting him know that he was neglecting something very important but Heero ignore him.
"Dammit! Heero! Stop being a tease!" Duo growled.
"Rather impatient?" Heero said. Finally he decided that play time was over. He needed this as well. He ran his tongue along the under side of Duo's harden flesh and over the slit tasting the wetness that escaped. He heard a slight moan but wasn't for sure. Heero circled around the tip and took him deep. Duo thrusted his hips forward but Heero held him down.
Duo was in heaven. He felt the warm wetness of Heero's mouth on him almost swallowing him whole.
"Oh! God! Heero." The blue eyed boy licked and sucked on him as if he was a popsicle. Nipping at the flesh lightly.
"Aaahhh!" Duo was on the edge, he didn't know that Heero would be able to do this to him. Then the sensation was gone.
"What the fu---" Duo was not happy when Heero pulled away from him, but then he saw what his husband was up to. Heero removed the last of his clothes and opened one of the many tubes of scented lube. Heero had poured a gracious amount on his fingers and went back to his previous position.
Slowly, Heero slid one finger over his love's entrance coating it with the lube then he pushed one finger in. Duo hissed from the invasion but quieted after Heero put his sweet lips back on him. Making him forget about the pain. Heero added another slender finger with the first preparing him. Duo's eyes popped opened when Heero found his spot. Stars danced slowly in front of his eyes as Heero moved his fingers in and out hitting his pleasure zone with each movement.
"Yeess!" Duo cried out. He felt the pressure building within him it was only a matter of mere seconds before--- "You bastard!" Heero had again left him hanging without release. Now, Duo knew what type of lover he had. Heero had no mercy on him. He wasn't going to beg but he would be damn if Heero didn't finish the job some time tonight.
Heero just laughed at the passion gaze look on Duo's face. He also saw the frustration clearly written there as well. Heero was torturing himself by not fulfilling his needs.
Duo noticed that Heero removed his fingers and felt something larger. /Oh, god, yes this is it!/ Heero slowly pushed his way in through the tight rings of muscles. He exhaled. He never thought that Duo would feel this tight. The braided boy felt the pulsing sensation of his lover's shaft in him filling him. It was almost too much to bare.
Alone tear escaped the violet orbs Heero licked droplet. Duo began to move. Heero pulled out slowly and moved back in. Again his pace was slow and Duo was not having that at all.
"Faster!" He demanded.
Heero complied with the simple request. He thrusted faster into the slight body below him. Sweat poured off them as the only sound was heard was their heavy breathing and skin slapping again skin.
"You.Are.Mine.Duo!" Heero growled in his ear. He reached between their slick bodies and begun stroking Duo's redden cock in time with each thrusthed that he pounded into him.
"AHH!!! YEESS!!! YEESS!!! Right there baby!!!" Duo shouted as he spilt his essence all over his stomach and Heero's. The dark haired boy followed soon after his lover's loud call filling Duo with his seeds.
They were totally unaware that their bodies were wrapped in a soft blue- violet glow as their souls became as one.
Heero collapsed on top of Duo panting hard. He had managed to grabbed the towel on the night table and wipe them off. Heero pulled up the covers over them and slung his arm over Duo's slim waist.
Heero kissed him on the temple. Duo was finally his and he was never letting him go. He pulled his love closer to him spooning against his back. The candles had begun to die out casting the room in total darkness. A soft purring sound could be heard from the now sated Duo as they both drifted off to sleep.
+++++++++++++++++++
If the room had been lit the couple would have saw each other's markings, one of a Scythe and the other of a Sword. The mark of Death and War.
~TBC~

A/N: Duo and Heero are together. Guess what happens when you know who finds out. And has anyone figured out who is the mysterious deity?
Well, tell me what you think? That was my first 1x2 lemon. If is sucked then I'm sorry. Nemesis
