Before I start I'd like to say thanks to: Cassie - Thanks for reading the story so far and I'm glad you like it!! Tenshiamanda - I too like Duo vampire stories. I'm glad you like mine. I know Heero is young at the moment but don't worry he'll be older when they get together. Split Persona - lol thanks very much for you review it makes me believe my writing is good. You'll find out later what exactly happened to Heero but you'll have to keep reading to find out. WildfireFriendship - Thanks for your review. I have to agree with you, an eight year old Heero glaring is definitely cute heh. Elle-FaTe2x1 - thanks for both your reviews. I will try my hardest to get the chapters longer as they seem a bit short to me too. Sapphire - I'm sorry about the cliffhanger but I couldn't resist!! lillie chan - I'm trying honest!! It's so hard to write coz I haven't got a lot of time on my hands but I'll try my best. To all my reviews I give you a cookie ::passes all reviewers a double chocolate chip cookie::

Chapter 2
As soon as Duo's cold hand touched Heero's he could feel the energy flowing through him. No matter how hard he tried to resist he couldn't stop the visions from surfacing. /Why is this happening? Why now?/ before Heero could contemplate this any further he found himself floating in what seemed to be a black void in his mind. He saw images of a four-year-old Duo running through the stone corridors of a grand castle with four servants running behind him. They were trying futilely to get the hyper active boy to stop creating havoc. Then he saw an image of who he assumed to be Duo's mother laughing at the sight before her. Before any more trouble could be caused she stopped her son, picked him up and took him to his room not saying a word about his mischievous ways. As soon as the first image ended he was assaulted by another of a priest performing a ritual to a God asking permission for a child to be born. Instead of another vision following the last, as Heero expected it would, he could hear silent chanting of "Mercia, Mercia (1)" and all he could see around him was blood. The thick red substance coating and suffocating him. Unable to take it any longer he let out a frustrated scream, which echoed through his mind, and he finally collapsed and lost consciousness.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Slowly Prussian blue eyes opened to stare into worry filled violet orbs. Blinking a few times to clear his mind Heero could still hear faint chanting and his vision seemed to seem blurred by a red colour. Finally realizing who exactly was above him he tried to scramble backwards. Duo who was extremely worried about the boy who was beneath him tried to reach out and reassure him. However, he moved his hand back to his side when he saw the boy flinch away from him. Before he could say a word Heero got up slowly, turned and began to run as fast as his little legs to take him. Not waiting another second Duo got up to chase after him yelling out to him.
"Heero stop!! Wait!!"
No matter how much he called out Heero could not hear him. All he could hear were the echoes of his mind. They would never cease tormenting him with their constant whispers and tales. Turning around the corner and out the gates of the park he was suddenly tackled from behind. Struggling seemed to be pointless but he continued to try and escape. Duo who had finally managed to make Heero stop didn't want to scare him anymore then he already was. Slowly he released his hold on the boy and watched as he moved to huddle by the fence and rock back and forth whimpering.
Duo moved slowly towards Heero, "Heero what's wrong? What happened? Please let me help"
In answer all he got were soft whispers. Leaning closer he managed to catch a few of the mumbled words.
"Please make it stop. Stop the blood.so much blood."
Not entirely sure what to do Duo thought back to all the times he had nightmares and how his mother comforted him back to sleep. Sure in his mind that what Heero needed most right now was support he carefully gathered the young boy into his arms, soothingly rubbing his back and gently rocking him back and forward.
"Shh, it's okay. You're safe. Nothings going to hurt you." The words spilled from Duo's lips without him realizing it but at that moment they seemed appropriate. Duo was unsure of how long he sat there rocking the bundle in his arms, whispering soothing words but he realized it was getting even later in to the night. Looking down he was surprised to see Heero asleep. Carefully moving the obstructing bangs covering Heero's face he looked at the serene features of the child as he slept. Even though Duo was only ten years of age he felt the urge to protect the young one in his hands. Un - wanting to wake the peacefully resting boy Duo used his telekinetic powers to reach within Heero's mind and find out where he stayed. He was glad to find his home wasn't far from the park. Carefully standing up he carried Heero as a husband would carry his bride and started the short journey towards Heero's home.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo managed to find Heero's house without any problems. He estimated it took about fifteen minutes to get there but it would have been a lot quicker if he wasn't carrying someone. On the walk to Heero's home he contemplated all that had happened that day. He still was unsure of what had happened to his new friend but he was hoping to find out as soon as Heero woke up. As if reading his mind the bundle in his arm began to stir. Heero who was feeling safe and warm was rather reluctant to wake up but something was nagging at the back of his mind. Slowly opening his eyes he again found himself staring into beautiful purple eyes. When it finally registered he was being carried by Duo he blushed slightly and tried to squirm out of the hold the older boy had on him. Duo realizing Heero wanted to be released reluctantly put him down blushing slightly himself at the fact that he didn't want to let the boy go. For a few moments silence stretched between the two new friends but it was broken by Heero.
"Where are we?"
"At your house" Was the reply he got.
"Oh."
Just then the front door opened and Heero's worried mother stepped out relieved to see her son was home. Forgetting about Duo for the moment Heero ran to his mother's outstretched arms and wrapped his small arms around his mother's neck hugging her tightly.
"Oh Heero your father and I were so worried!! Where have you been? You know how worried we become if you come home late."
"I'm sorry mother I didn't mean to worry you but I made a new friend and he looked after me when I was scared and he bought me home."
Turning around to show his mother exactly who his new friend was he was surprised to see that Duo had vanished. Frowning slightly he looked up at his mother.
"Well he was here."
Laughing slightly Heero was put down once again. "You didn't tell anyone about our secret did you? (2)" his mother asked now becoming serious.
Heero shook his head and was then lead back into the house unaware of Duo standing at the corner of the street. Now Duo was even more confused then he was before /what secret?/ before he could contemplate it any longer he felt a presence in his mind, //I hope you had fun my son but it is now time that you came home. It is getting pretty late.//
//Yes mother I'll make my way back. I'll be there soon and I have a lot to tell you//
//Well I can't wait to hear all you have learnt//
With that said Duo glanced over his shoulder at the closed door of the house that held a mystery then turned and made his journey back to the castle where he knew he would be in a lot of trouble with his father but he would also have an interesting tale to tell his mother. A mysterious tale he knew his mother would love to try and solve and so would he.
