Chapter 11
As Duo walked besides Heero on there way to town he couldn't help but notice that Heero was being unusually quiet. He hadn't said a word since they left his house and Duo was beginning to worry.
"Heero you okay?"
Heero looked up when he heard Duo's voice and nodded. He didn't want Duo to worry so he smiled to reassure him.
"You sure? Coz if you not okay we can go back to your house and we can get ice cream another time."
"I'm fine Duo don't worry. Besides we near the town so we might as well get the ice cream."
Duo nodded and looked ahead of him to see the lights of the various stores in the distance. Looking back at Heero he smirked.
"Race ya!!" he said taking of in a sprint, Heero following.
"No fair you had a head start!!"
By the time they reached they reached the shop both boys were out of breath yet they were both smiling. Walking into the store they both bought their ice cream and walked back out, Duo with his double scoop of chocolate and Heero with vanilla. Duo went to sit at a near by bench and was about to ask Heero to join him but when he looked up at his friend seemed to be in a daze.
Heero was caught up in another vision. The foreboding feeling he had felt grew ten times worse then what it had been. He watched in horror as two men entered his house.
**Heero's vision**
Two men hid in the shadows of the dark street going unnoticed by those who walked past. The taller of the two slowly moved up to the cozy looking house breaking the lock on the door efficiently and silently. Signaling to his companion they crept inside together. Hearing sound from the lounge they moved forward finding the two they were looking for. Moving with an unnatural speed they each grab one victim and tied them up to a chair. The taller of the two stepped out from the shadows to show a hideous creature with silver like eyes.
"Ah Odin, Magami I see we meet once again. I hope you remember me."
"Who could forget a hideous demon like you!"
"Oh Magami you wound me with your words. However, I am not here to chatter. Tell me where is the boy and I might spare your lives."
"Never!! You can kill us but I will never tell you where my son is."
"Odin always the sacrificial. But I'm afraid no matter what you chose we will find your son one way or another. Killing will probably bring him to us anyway and if it doesn't there are always other ways to find him."
"NO!! Please leave my son alone he has done nothing to you!!"
"But you see my dear Magami whether or not he has caused me any harm is unimportant. I need that boy for my future and he will be mine."
Snapping his fingers the demons minion stepped forward a gasoline tin in hand. Unscrewing the top he began to douse the house with the strong smelling fluid as he had done all the other rooms while his master dealt with business. Both demon and minion moved out of the house before setting it a light in a blaze as heated as the flames of hell. Laughing manically the demon just hoped that his own Lord would be satisfied with the murder of the parents and not having the child with him.
**End Heero's vision**
Heero came out of his daze with a gasp. Mumbling some excuse he dropped his ice cream and ran as fast as he could back home. Tears were blearing his way and every now and then he would stumble. But no matter what he kept running. He didn't want to believe what he just saw and if it was true he hoped his parents were safe or that perhaps he could save them. But no matter how much he tried to reassure himself the sight of his house crumbled to the floor with the fire still going dashed any hope he had that his vision had been of the future. Running to the burning rubble he let out a wild scream tears falling ever faster from his eyes. As if the heavens could feel his pain it began to let down it's own tears, its wetness causing the flames to slowly die down. Heero kneeled by what was left of his house and let the tears fall not caring if anyone saw him. His mother and father were gone. He had no one left in the world to look after him. Heero was so caught up in his sorrow he didn't notice the almost blinding light that shone from the rubble. He only looked up when he heard a gentle voice call his name and when he did there he saw his parents, both surrounded by a godly light and with pure white wings sprouting from their back.
"Honey why are you crying? There's no need for you to cry at all."
"But mommy you and daddy are gone."
"That's not true son. You know the truth we told it to you."
"You did?"
"Of course silly. Remember your father and I once told you that we were Angels and in order for you to be born we had to become human. So don't think of it as if we've died look at it as if we are returning to where we came from."
No matter what Magami or Odin said they could see their son was still distraught. Any ten year old would be if they lost their parents. Deciding to try another tactic Magami pulled out a small treasure chest and laid it near her son. She watched as he looked at it curiously.
"I managed to save you chest so that you'll at least have something to remember us with. Go on open it and look inside."
Carefully opening his chest Heero saw on top lay the black rose that Duo had given him today and below that were a few pictures of him and his parents. Looking at the pictures mad him cry some more and he didn't know if the pain would ever stop. Feeling warmth envelop him he realized his mother was hugging him, her wings covering him like a shield. Heero hugged back fiercely never wanting to let go but he knew eventually he had to. After a few moments his mother let him go and then he was enveloped by the strength of his father as he gave him a hug. Odin released his son all to soon knowing it was time for them. Stepping back to his wife's side they both looked at the son hoping to reassure him. Without the warmth or strength Heero realized something and stoped his parents from leaving.
"You knew they were coming didn't you? That's why you were willing to let me go to town with Duo."
Not being able to lie to their son they both nodded.
"But if you knew why did you stay? Why didn't you tell me?"
"Heero, honey, it was our time to go and we couldn't let the demon get you please understand we did it for your own safety."
Even though Heero understood his parents' choice he still felt so alone. However his mother was quick to reassure him.
"Remember Heero you are not alone. You have Duo. He's your friend and I know he'll look after you even though your father doesn't believe me. And remember Heero be careful of the evil ones."
Nodding Heero watched as his parents floated up to the heavens and he knew he'd never see them again. That thought was all it took. Clutching the chest close to him Heero once again began to cry.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo stood there for a minute, ice cream still in hand, unsure of what just happened. He didn't understand why Heero had left so quickly but he could feel Heero's pain and he knew something must be wrong. Not waiting another moment Duo ran to Heero's house. He was probably ten minutes behind Heero and it would have been easy to use his power to catch up but he didn't want to risk it. While he had been taught by his mother he learnt that even though he could use his powers to move faster it also tired him out a lot quicker and he didn't want to use his power now because if he did he may not be able to help Heero later. Running as fast as he could Duo could see the road just up a head. Turning the corner he wasn't prepared for what he saw. There, by what once used to be Heero's house, knelt Heero clutching something and crying. Moving quickly Duo gathered the crying boy into his arms, rocking bad and forth trying to calm him down.
Heero looked up to see Duo looking worriedly down at him. He didn't want Duo to see him cry but no matter how much he tried to make the tears stop it would not cease.
"It's okay Heero. Don't try to fight it just let the tears go."
And that is exactly what Heero did. He didn't know for how long he stayed in Duo's arms crying but he didn't care. Duo was also quite content holding the fragile boy in his arms. He promised himself he would protect Heero and he never broke his promises.
Unknown to the two boys old eyes were watching the whole incident through the window. He was sure of his suspicions now. Grabbing the phone he quickly dialed the number for the social workers.
