Chapter 1
((10 years after the Prologue))
A terrified slave ran through the countless corridors of Bathoria palace looking for the King and Queen. The middle-aged woman came to a stop in front of two large oak doors with intricate designs of dragons with what looked like a ball of energy floating just above their upheld claws carved on them (1). Knocking on the door she carefully opened it, forgetting to wait for permission to enter. As soon as she stepped in she was met with a deadly look from the young wizard (2) who's room she had just invaded. Realizing her mistake she quickly bowed down on the floor apologizing profusely.
"IamterriblysorrymyLordsandLadyforinterruptingIwillnotdoitagainpleaseforgive me (3)," she pleaded.
The Queen looked at the quivering mess on the floor and used her powers to reach and feel why the slave would forget her place and sensed a great worry. Looking towards her husband who was now glaring venomously at the girl for interrupting them she decided to intervene. //Love calm down, the poor girl is worried enough as it is//
Hearing his wife's telepathic message he looked towards her and decided to let her take control of this situation. Moving towards the slave Itara kneeled down before her.
"Please stop sobbing I can barely understand you. I can see that you are worried so why not tell us what it is you were sent so urgently to tell us that you just barged into our meeting instead of waiting till we were done?"
"I apologize again my Queen for my carelessness. It's just that.wecan'tfindhimhe'sgonewhenwetriedtostophimhewouldn'tlistenandhesomehow managedtoslippassedtheguardsatthemaindoors. (4)"
The King having enough of the blabbering decided to put an end to it. "Will you tell me whom you are talking about," he demanded.
"It's Prince Shinigami my Lord. We tried to stop him. We are truly sorry."
"WHAT!!??" Arlos bellowed loud enough for the whole palace to hear, "HOW COULD YOU LET HIM GO MISSING. HE IS TOO YOUNG TO BE UP ON EARTH ON HIS OWN."
Before her husband could go any further Itara couldn't help but start to giggle at his reaction.
"What do you find so funny? I don't see anything humorous in the fact that our son has run out of the castle," he said looking at his wife as if she'd lost her mind.
"Oh stop looking at me like that. It is funny," Itara replied from where she stood watching the scene by the large window, "You worry too much. Our son will be fine. He is smart and he knows everything he needs to know about the world above (5). And besides you protect him too much. I would have thought he would have tried to get away a lot sooner."
Arlos looked at his wife suspiciously but decided not to question it. He dismissed the slave still kneeling on the floor deciding to deal with her later. Once his son returned he would have a word with him too. Meanwhile Itara gazed out the window with a small smile on her lips as she watched the black clad figure of her son fading in the distance. /Have fun my son/ was her last thought before she turned to pay attention once again to the discussion going on between her husband and the wizard.

Duo slowly crept passed the unaware guards and winced inwardly at hearing a shout coming from the huge stone palace behind him. He knew he would be in big trouble once he got back but he was fed up of always being surrounded by guards and having to always be accompanied by someone wherever he went. He could understand that he was young and needed to be watched over but having your friends chosen for you and being watched 24/7 is a bit over the top. /No make that WAY over the top/ he thought to himself. Of course he didn't hate his friends. Quatre and Trowa were two of the most reliable people you could find but he still felt immature as he wasn't trusted enough to chose his own friends. /Although it wasn't so hard escaping from them/ he thought smiling as he remember the fondness he could feel between his two friends and laughing inwardly at them as they stumbled with their emotion. However, he couldn't help but also feel neglected. Even though he had Quatre and Trowa they seemed to prefer it just to be the two of them. Even though they didn't say this to him, he could tell it was true every time he saw them glance at each other. His parents even seemed to be too busy to spend a lot of time with him, but he couldn't blame them. They had a lot of work to do and his mother always made sure to spend time with him in the evenings and every other second she got in between meetings. At the thought of his mother he smiled and remembered it was she who helped him to get away, knowing he wanted to visit the world above. "Go and be free of restraints," she had said to him. Looking at the top most window of the left tower he saw the shadowy figure of his mother looking down at him and he could hear her final thoughts. In reply he whispered to the night breeze "I will mother. Thank you once again."

An eight - year old Heero sat slumped on the swing, in the deserted park, gently rocking it back and forth. He was so deep in contemplation that he failed to notice the presence of another person entering the park. Therefore, he was surprised to hear a scream near his ear and turned to glare at the intruder. Duo stood behind him clutching his side in laughter. No matter how hard he had tried he couldn't resist the urge to yell, "BOO!!" into the other boy's ear, and now with the younger boy glaring at him he laughed some more. Heero just glared harder at the boy who dared to disturb his thoughts. Once the boy in front of him stopped laughing he asked in a dangerous tone "What are you doing here?"
At this question Duo smirked. "I could ask the same to you."
"Hn" was all he received in answer. Duo extended his hand in front of the stranger "I'm Duo (6). Who are you?"
Heero just looked at the outstretched hand, then back up to Duo's almost gleaming Violet eyes and glared once again.
"Come on, I'm sorry about the whole invading your personal space (6) and all but you could at least tell me your name."
Reluctantly Heero stood from the swing and held out his hand, "Heero Yuy"
Duo moved his hand to shake Heero's but as soon as their hands touched Heero seemed to go into a trance. Duo kept calling to him to try to snap him out of but nothing seemed to work. After a while Heero stop shaking and seemed to faint, but before he could hit the floor Duo caught him and laid him down gently on the grass waiting, not understanding what just happened, for his new friend to awaken.

The image of the dragon is really cool coz I have something similar on a paperweight I have. I also had to add dragons in somewhere coz I love them!!
Can anyone guess who the Wizard is? Hehe
"I am terribly sorry my Lords and Lady for interrupting I will not do it again please for give me"
"we can't find him. He's gone. When we tried to stop him he wouldn't listen and he some how managed to slip passed the guards at the main doors."
The reason it is known as the world above is because the palace is underground.
Before the slave called him Prince Shinigami and here he calls himself Duo. The reason for his two names, as I said I would explain in the prologue, is because one is his vampire name and the other is the name he uses while on the surface. It is used so as not to let any humans who may find the palace enter because they would only know the "mortal" name of the vampire and therefore they will be denied entrance.
SM: Wow another chapter done.
Heero: Hn. Why am I younger the Duo?
SM: Becoz it will look so much cuter later on.
Heero: ::glares::
SM: Heh please don't kill me!! I'm sorry it took a while to get this out and I'm sorry for the semi cliffhanger but what happened to Hee chan will be explained in the next chapter. Please review!!
