Thank you Ravynne Nightshade for editing this for me. I love you lots!

Warnings: This fic will have references to the Bible and such things. If you are offended by Christianity (though I won't be throwing my religion down your throat) you can leave. Also, there will be shonen ai (guys liking guys).

Disclaimer: I don't own the characters of Gundam wing or Sammael or other angels/demons that will be showing in this fic.

Extended Summery: You are said to be alive, but you are really dead. You want to make a difference yet you do nothing. You have found what you are seeking yet he is still lost to you. He will remain lost until the end of all comes into play. The people of Earth weep and mourn for death. Will you be the cause of it's Destruction? Or it's Rebirth?


Chapter 2:
What is Beauty?


The moon has fallen from the sky as the sun takes it place - the same thing, yet different every time. Duo found himself watching the sky change hues and at the same time being fascinated by it; but like all things, it comes to an end. The braided youth hears someone entering his room, though he doesn't turn around to greet the person.

"You find it beautiful. No?"

Duo tensed recognizing the voice, but hid it well. What is he doing here? He needs to keep his guard up and not show weakness to him. "It depends on what I'm looking at."

"Really now?" The voice is closer this time, though his steps were quiet. Warm breath whispers past Duo's ear. "What is beauty?"

"What do you want Sammael?" The visitor snorted in a mock laugh. Even though the snort was light and held amusement, you could feel the darkness that lingered there. It surrounds you and holds you against your will, like a mouse who is trying to free itself from the grip of a viper.

Wrapping his arms around Duo, he leans even closer. Duo's blood runs cold as panic grips him. Though this might make him out to be nothing but a scared little boy, Sammael is deadly in every way.

"That's not very nice. You couldn't even say hello." It was more of a statement then a question. One of Sammael's hands started to rub down one of Duo's pale arms. "Why are you cold to me? Or is it…you found what you're looking for?"

Duo turns around pushed him away glaring. "That is none of you concern. I'll ask again. Why are you here?"

Despite the darkened room Duo could see Sammael perfectly. He was taller than Duo, and like himself, a fallen angel. By his side is a sword, though he has never used it to cut anyone. Instead, he stands by the dead and holds his sword that has been dipped in gall so that a drop of it falls into the person's mouth killing them. He enjoys shocked look on humans as they die.

Storm gray and amethyst eyes meet in a glare. "I'd watch your tone boy."

Duo gives him a confused look though it was fake. "I have no tone; I was just asking what brings you here, that is all."

The taller of the two smiles. "Ah yes, but you still have yet to answer mine. What is beauty?" He is known for dancing around questions, changing subjects, and other such things. It was one thing that Duo hates about this person; but he wasn't called the "Destroyer" for nothing. Caution is needed when you talk to him, for talking with him is like talking to death itself.


Somewhere else


It seems like he found you…pity he won't get you this time. Relena turned the person next to her and smiled. No. I've found him first. "Heero?"

Relena turned the person next to her and smiled. "Heero?"

"Hm?"

"You won't ever leave me will you?" Hope reflected in her voice as she looked at him.

Her partner gave her a small smile. "I have no reason too."

Relena couldn't help but smile back at him though that soon faded into a concerned frown. He is always so silent. So lost in thought, and he's been distancing himself as of late. She couldn't for the life of her figure out why.

She gave off a frustrated sigh. "What is wrong Heero? You can tell me you know."

"I know. I just don't know how to explain it. It's different." Heero started rubbing his chocolate brown hair in confusion and frustration. That is very unlike Heero. Heero is like a foundation: steady, unmovable; but even foundation can crumble, as Relena will one day discover.

"Just tell me. Maybe I can help."

"I've… been having dreams…"

Curiosity struck her and she bounced on her toes in anticipation. Holding her hands together, she waited for him to continue. When nothing came out of his mouth, she started to worry that he was closing up on her, and that she'd never find out.

"Come on Heero; don't keep me in the dark. What is it?"

"I've, been dreaming of angels."

That's not what she was expecting. She was hoping for, "I was dreaming we were having hot sex." Or something along those lines. No such luck though…too bad for her.

"What about angels?" Could it be that he is contacting him in his dreams? Is he even capable of that? I don't think so, at least not with out help.

Heero's eyes and voice were distant - lost in memory, or hopefully for Relena's sake, lost in fantasy.

"Tell me about your dreams Heero. What are they like?"

Heero hesitated to tell her what it is. What if she found it weird, or if she laughed at him? The young Japanese was never a person who cared what others thought of him, but it would be different considering Relena is his girlfriend and all.

"Well… we were… angels…"


Back at the orphanage


"You still haven't answered my question… what is beauty?"

The younger was quiet for a moment gathering his thoughts together. "Beauty is different for everyone and everything. For me, beauty is something that is unknown yet leaves an impression… like the sunrise or sun set. Dawn and dusk are always the same yet different every time. Its mystery - what will it bring? Disaster? Hope? It is not knowing; that is what makes it beautiful and ugly."

Sammael gave an approving nod. "I like that answer. For a reward I give you this." Sammael ran his fingers across Duo's cheek and gave him a secret smile. He retracted his fingers and handed the braided boy a letter. "Don't open it until the people of Earth weep and mourn, for the end is coming." Then he left leaving Duo with his thoughts, unanswered questions, and the letter addressed "To the Angel of Sardis."


TBC…

Demon/Angel of the Chapter:

Sammael (demon): Considered an Angel of Death and Venom of God. He plays many roles such as the accuser, seducer, and destroyer. Legend goes that Sammael can be found standing by a dying man with a drawn sword in his hand. The point of the sword has a drop of gall (something used for dying) and drops it into a person mouth when they open it in shock killing them. Also in some texts Sammael remains one of God's angels. The executioner of the death sentences ordered by God.
