Comments: Just a bit of musing turned story

Author's comments: I took a damn long time again didn't I? ; I had a lot of projects due for classes honest! I wasn't slacking, really. You know maybe it would be a good idea to make this into a book, change the charries and stuff and the personalities some. And possibly slight plot changes. I wonder how many people would buy it if any.

Helpful Notes: "talking and crap" = intercom thingy

Crimson Targets Bloodred Nights 5

Heero just watched the ebony hair boy standing there, apparently shocked to see him of all people. However, it didn't take long for the shock to change to that of a look of anger. The other still upheld old feelings, feelings about things Heero wasn't even sure about. Meaning he didn't know why Wufei had so much hate for him. He could see why he'd hated vampires; even Heero sometimes held regrets when it came to taking innocent life. Just because he was a vampire now didn't mean he still didn't hold compassion to human feelings. Just…the taste of blood could make one lose their mind.

Wufei lifted his gun up then, pointing it towards the other with a glare of pure hatred shining in his eyes. "I didn't think you'd be dumb enough to come find me…Yuy."

"Hn." Heero glanced over towards the corner before looking back at Wufei. He knew Trowa was huddled there, hidden in the darkness. Once they had arrived Trowa had taken refuge in the corner, apparent most comfortable there. It made him wonder what other things Quatre had probably done to the boy, and just those thought made Heero wish he'd had destroyed the vampire when he had the chance. Again he had to remind himself that something was wrong, with all of them. Maybe the air was bad, but he couldn't help the feeling of things being wrong, misplaced…and bound to get worse. "I heard from Treize that you got a little visit not to long ago," Heero said, figuring it was the lesser of two evils to start with. If anything it made Wufei glare harder. Perhaps Wufei actually had hate for someone else more than for him. "He hasn't done anything to you, right?"

The other just sneered, turning his nose up at the question. "Why do you care? Your kind is pure evil and has no sympathy for the 'weaker' species. In fact, your kind could just rot away in hell for all I care."

Heero shook his head, moving again and sitting back down on the couch, moving slowly so Wufei wouldn't have reason to shoot him. At least more reason than his mind was telling him anyway. As it was Wufei was still standing in the doorway with his gun pointed at Heero, still oblivious to Trowa in the corner of the room.

"Just because I have become a vampire does not mean I do not care about what happens to you." Heero just stared at him, a blank look to his eyes that showed no true emotion. "Have you forgotten that we used to be childhood friends? All four of us. We've done everything together since we were three."

Another sneer slipped from Wufei's lips as he continued standing there giving Heero a dirty look. "Does that really matter when you've been betrayed?! When your friends have changed and become evil."

"Wufei…"

"No, don't Wufei me!" The gun shook slightly in Wufei's hand as he spat that out, livid now, his anger flowing through his blood. "I have a right mind to shoot you right now!"

Heero gave a sigh starting up to his feet, his eyes trained on the other cautiously. "Like all creatures, vampires have to eat. All creatures no matter what they are, they have to eat. It's called the cycle of life. Just…listen to what I have to say." Heero had remembered that from Duo. It had caused him thought. They weren't completely evil creatures, just beings that needed to feed in order to lives. Just like insects, or mammals…or even humans. If eating were bad, then all creatures were evil.

The hand holding the gun wavered slightly as Wufei thought about that. Heero held his breath slightly as he waited on the other's response. If needed, Heero could escape easily enough, but what he wanted was Wufei's cooperation more than anything. Since Wufei was a human, there was a chance that he could get into things that he and Trowa, being vampires, couldn't go. Things that only someone that was a day walker could get to or could see. Finally the gun fell to Wufei's side he stared towards Heero. The hated look was still there, but milder, more under control.

"I'll listen to what you have to say, then decided after that if you deserve anything you desire from me." He didn't bother to put the gun away, not even turning his back from them as he closed the door behind him. He would listen to them but that didn't mean he had to trust him. He didn't even walk further into the room, instead leaning against the door and folding his arms over his chest with a look of impatience. Heero glanced over towards Trowa again, still hidden in the darkness of the corner before he returned his attention to Wufei. Wufei had followed his eye gesture and returned his eyes back to Heero. "What's wrong with him?"

So he's noticed. Heero nodded his head and began to tell his story.

"Quatre! What the FUCK have you done with my pet?!" Duo was livid as he shoved the door open to Quatre's room stomping inside, his eyes glowing brightly. He was infuriated. His eyes locked onto Quatre sitting on the bed, one leg over the other, and a cup in his hand, which he was sipping from. Slowly he lifted his eyes up to look at Duo calmly, apparently not the slightest bit afraid of the other.

"What are you bellowing about, Duo?" His voice had the slightest bit of impatience in it as he lifted his cup to his lips again.

Duo growled low in his throat, his hands clenched at his sides as he stomped into the room, coming to stand before Quatre and grabbing the other by the neck of his shirt, lifting him up from the bed. "You know damn well what I'm here for! Where is he?! What did you do to him?!"

Quatre just took another sip from the cup before he settled finally for staring Duo in the eye, showing now that he also was not in his happiest of moods. "If you had tried to sense him out you would know that he's not in the palace. Apparently my pet is gone as well. And against my orders as well." Quatre narrowed his eyes. "Your pet has influenced my pet to leave. He is very untrained." A light smirk lifted up to Quatre's lips. "You should have just given him to me and let me train him. Maybe then we wouldn't have this problem."

Duo snarled throwing the other back down onto the bed, the bloody contents of the cup spilling out getting onto the both of them. Duo didn't care, just glaring down at the other before he spat on him. "Don't tell me how to raise my pet . Just because I don't abuse mine like you do yours doesn't mean anything. Yours probably ran away because of how terrible a master you are to him."

"And yours has probably left because he lacks the attention he needs." Quatre sat up, wiping the bloody contents away as best he could. "Be we can go about this later. I can sense my pet in the city. What about you?"

Duo frowned slightly resting his hands on his hips before he started to concentrate his energy. "The city…the same as yours."

"Then maybe it's time you go and teach your pet a lesson." Quatre calmly sat the cup down beside him on the bed and started up to his feet, reaching down to pull down the shirt that didn't even come to his belly button.

"Yeah…." Still Duo was disappointed in his pet. He thought he had trained him better than that, taught him. What would make him run away like that?

"Weird things are happening," Heero said sitting up, keeping his eyes on Wufei's so he could contain his attention. "My…Our masters are not themselves. Treize has changed a lot, and I believe it's for the worst. I haven't even seen Zechs since that night on the roof." He paused slightly in what he was saying, looking down at the ground in thought before he looked up at Wufei again. "I hadn't even seen Trowa for weeks until now." He glanced at the corner where the other boy was before he looked again at Wufei.

Wufei again followed his eyes, looking over at Trowa. Since he had gotten there he hadn't heard the other utter a word. The only thing he would do was rock back and forth, his eyes staring off into space.

"What happened to him?" Wufei asked again. He hadn't gotten an answer the first time he asked, but now he was curious again. He didn't like seeing one of his former best friends like this. Even if he was a blood sucker, no one should have to suffer like that. Or so he thought it was suffering by the way of things.

Heero hesitated, as if thinking about whether he wanted to speak on it or not. "I'm…not really sure myself. He blames me for it." He looked off to the side. "Because his master has some weird…infatuations with me." He had to shudder slightly at that.

"Treize has informed me that they are about to move into the palace…along with every last vampire of his order. I get the feeling that a serious attack is about to commence on the city." The look that was in Heero's eyes showed that he was dead serious and it had even Wufei at a loss of words. "Being that you are a part of the human race and a part of this city, I feel you should know about it." He shook his head. "No, I feel you should do something about it. Even though I am a vampire, I do still hold some attachments to this city." He glared slightly at Wufei. "Even though I'm a blood sucking monster."

Wufei frowned slightly. Too be honest he'd never heard Heero speak so much at one time, nor be so passionate about it. He knew the other was speaking the truth, he could see it in his eyes. Heero wasn't often capable of lying, not unless it was for a good cause. And even then it probably took a shove on his part to do it. Wufei sighed, reaching up and resting a head on his forehead. Things hadn't even begun yet and he was already tired of this. "Alright…alright I'll do what I can to help. I don't see what good I'll be though." He lowered his hand narrowing his eyes as he stared at him, shifting his weight a bit to one leg. "Just promise that after this is done, I will never see your face again. I don't want you bothering this city anymore."

Heero nodded to that. "I promise. After this is over, you will never hear from me again."

"He's looking for us!" Trowa's eyes widened slightly from where he was in the corner before he jumped up to his feet. "They're coming!"

::He spoke!:: Wufei was a little more than shocked at that but at the same time angry. The other now possessed fear where he didn't used to have any. Wufei remembered how Trowa was. Yes he did seem to always be silent, but it was a calm kind of silence. He never said anything unless he felt like something needed to be said. Like the silent best friend or conscience. But there were times when even Trowa knew fun and would laugh with the rest. And Heero…he was different too. He used to be even quieter than he was now, quieter and more detached. Still even Wufei couldn't explain what it was that held them together. Maybe it was when they defended each other when they were kids. Wufei even remembered when he taught the other two martial arts, and how badly they were at it when they had first started. But now…

"Hn." Heero grunted slightly standing up to his feet.

"Who's coming?" Wufei narrowed his eyes slightly. But now they were vampires…and….

Heero turned his eyes to him, an almost panicked look in his eyes before it quickly disappeared into that nothingness again. "Our masters." He moved, heading over to the window. "Trowa and I will keep moving until the sun arrives. We'll hide out then and hopefully be far away by then. We'll meet you in the old warehouse by the abandoned fire department within two days. Until then, keep searching for information and tell us what you find then." With that said Heero jumped up onto the windowsill, looking around for a moment before he jumped out.

"Hey wait!" Before Wufei couldn't even say anything or protest, both of the vampires were gone. The only thing that was left was his open window and his curtain blowing in the night wind. He snorted a bit then finally grumbled a moment before he headed into the kitchen. Apparently, Heero didn't know that Zechs seemed to already have claims on him. But Wufei would stop that if he could. He'd help the two vampires stop whatever madness was happening and hopefully get his dignity back in the process. But until then…he was going on a temporary cease-fire…against his friends anyway. Vampires were still blood suckers and evil beings that needed to be stopped.

Duo sniffed at the night air as he stopped where he was on the top of a building. A growled slipped from his lips has his eyes glowed red. He didn't even look to the side as Quatre landed down beside him.

"They're on the move again," Quatre said looking over at Duo for a moment before looking back out at the city. "They've realized we're chasing them now and so they're running." He smirked slightly at that. "Seems we've given them quite the scare. They're afraid of what punishment they will receive."

Duo just gave the smirking Quatre a glare before he moved jumping down from the building. He hated to admit it but Quatre was right. He was going to have to punish Heero for this. Probably punish and much more. However, there were a few secrets he had that Heero and the others didn't know about. A secret he had acquired recently. And he was planning to put it to good use to find his little pet. Once that happened there would be no stopping him in retraining his pet, Heero. He would just have to be harsher for now on. There was almost a sparkle of excited in his eyes at the thought of that. Fun...he was having the feeling that this would be fun. He walked off then, heading down the darkened and empty street in search of his pet, Quatre right behind him.

Tbc…

Ok ok it's short. pouts But I think that's a lot better than nothing at all, really. I'll do what I can to um make the next chapter come out faster, ne?
