Chapter 16
It was about ten minutes before 5am when Heero woke up. Quickly he got ready and looked to the windowsill and was surprised to see that there was no letter waiting for him. Frowning, Heero decided it was best not to think about it. A few seconds later the door to his room opened and Heero prepared himself for another day of endless pain. Walking out of the room he expected to be led straight to the lab but was surprised when he was led into the lounge where Dr J sat, on a leather armchair, having breakfast. Seeing the food Heero's stomach began to grumble. He couldn't remember how many days it had been that he went without food. Holding his stomach he tried to will it silent for if the doctor heard he would be in trouble but it was no use because Dr J had already heard the first unsuppressed grumble. J put down the cup he was drink from, stood and with anger in his eyes made his way towards Heero.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo awoke earlier then usual that morning but he expected that it was because he couldn't wait to see Heero again. Getting bathed and dressed quickly he left his room heading straight for the door but before he even got down the corridor his father stopped him.
"Duo I hope you have not forgotten that your friends are expecting to see you this morning. As well as your mother was looking for you."
Snorting Duo turned to his father and nodded slightly.
"Do you know where mother is?"
"I believe she is in the training room with the young wizard."
Nodding once more Duo made his way firstly to the dining area. Looking in he saw Quatre and Trowa sitting at the table waiting for him and they both welcomed him as he entered the room.
"So have you got any plans for today Duo?"
Nodding at in answer to Quatre's question Duo continued to eat before speaking.
"I was planning on going to the surface I have someone I want to meet. Now if you two will excuse me I must go see my mother."
Quatre looked towards Trowa before nodding to let Duo know he could leave if he wished. As soon as Duo had left he looked to Trowa again and he could see the same determination in his eyes. Today would be the day that they would find out what or who was so important to Duo that he kept going up to the surface and to determine if this person would cause any harm. They both knew the arguments that have been going on between father and son and they had hoped that they could help solve the problem.
Duo walked as quickly as possible to the training area. He hoped that the conversation with his mother wouldn't be too long because he could feel that something was wrong with Heero and he wanted to leave as soon as he could. Coming to the training room he saw that it was slightly open and he could hear people talking with in. Looking through the small gap he watched as his mother stood across from Wufei in a defensive pose. Deciding not to disturb them in the middle of the battle he just watched through the door.
Itara smiled at the wizard across from her. The young one had a lot of power in him but she wanted to find out for herself how well he had been taught.
"Come now Wufei I'm sure you have more power then that. Hit me with all the strength you have."
She could see that he still seemed reluctant.
"Don't worry young one you will not harm me. I am stronger then I look."
Nodding Wufei once again raised his staff into the air. Concentrating he tried to will all his offensive magic to gather into one giant ball of blue flame. Duo who was watching from the door gasped at the power he could feel radiating from it. He was certain that if his mother were to get hit by that she would be seriously injured and could possibly even die. With all his training he knew he wouldn't be able to withstand such an attack himself. He watched as Wufei released the ball and without thinking he ran in front of his mother hoping to at least save her. Closing his eyes he waited for the impending pain but was surprised that he felt nothing. After a while he opened his eyes to see a dark force field of some kind surrounding both him and his mother.
"Foolish child. You could have gotten hurt. You should not have interfered."
Looking up at his mother he smiled sheepishly.
"I'm sorry I just thought that it was way to powerful for anyone to withstand. How did you manage to do that."
Dropping her shield Itara could see that the same question was in Wufei's eyes too.
"Well my son I have had a lot of practice with my powers so they have far succeeded any others. I can withstand almost anything. Now I'm sure there is something you wanted to see about so Wufei you are dismissed. You are very powerful and I am sure that you will serve us well when your time comes. I look forward to testing your magic once again."
Nodding Wufei bowed before he left in search of Quatre and Trowa as they wanted to discuss something with him. As soon as he had left Itara looked to her son.
"You are here because your father said I was looking for you?"
"Yes, is there something you anted to tell me?"
"Well I can see you are anxious to leave to see Heero so I think I will leave my conversation for another day. I can sense that something is worrying you so I won't keep you. Go now and have fun."
Smiling Duo left the training area and went straight out the main gates and into the light he was now able to withstand. He was so busy marveling at the differences of things in the sunlight he didn't realize that three other figures were following him.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
After this mornings incident Heero had been in quite a lot of trouble although the bruises that he had were now nothing. That was the only reason Dr j was able to keep him. He had no proof of what was happening to him because of his healing abilities. Sighing Heero was just happy that he hadn't made any more mistakes after that morning. Carrying the dishes he had been made to be washed as further punishment he started to put them away. With the final pile in hand Heero moved to the corner cupboard to put them away. Suddenly he thought he heard his name being whispered. Turning towards the window he forgot about the plate that was in his hand and it went crashing to the floor. Wincing at the sound of the glass breaking Heero turned to the door at the sound of Dr J's yelling getting closer to him. To afraid to move Heero stood still as he saw the doctor walk in and look at the shattered remains of the plate.
"You incompetent fool!! Can you not even do a simple task as washing and putting away dishes!? Look at this mess you made. Now it will have to be cleared up and I'll have to spend money buying another plate."
J, making sure to step on the pieces of glass to break them further, made his way menacingly to stand in front of Heero.
"I don't know why I put up with you. All I've done is try to help you and this is how you repay me? You are truly worthless."
Raising his metal had J clutched Heero shoulder tightly, letting his claws dig into the flash and causing Heero to gasp in pain. Lifting Heero easily J tossed him across the floor making sure that Heero slid through the pieces of glass on the floor.
"Now get up and go to your room. I will be there in a moment to deal out your punishment and then you will come back and clean up this mess."
Wincing as he got up Heero slowly made his way to his room not looking forward at all to what was going to happen. He just wished someone would come and take him away from here.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo had watched the whole thing in utter disbelief. He was relieved when he first saw Heero well and laughed slightly at the fact that he was still jumpy after he had whispered his name. But what surprised Duo the most was when that old man came in and start to hurt his Heero over a stupid plate. Duo could feel the anger boiling up in him and he knew he had to take Heero away and now. Moving towards the door he kicked it off the hinges and smirked at the startled doctor standing in front of him.
"How dare you barge into my house like that? You will pay!!"
Before J could even move Duo held him by the throat and pinned him to the wall. Fang bared in fury he glared at the doctor, violet eyes burning.
"I will do as I please but how dare YOU lay a finger on what belongs to Shinigami!! For that you will pay with your pathetic life."
Squeezing J's throat tightly Duo wished he could cause the man more pain before killing him but he would be as heartless as this creature. Duo was concentrating so much on the ways he would have liked to torture J that he almost missed what the doctor said.
"So you are the one. Finally the prophecy will come true and thanks to me Heero will be ready."
"Prophecy!? Is that all everyone cares about now? Well let me tell you something. I prophesize that you will die."
With that Duo easily broke the doctor's neck and let him fall limply to the ground. Moving quickly Duo followed Heero's scent to his room. Walking in he was surprised to see Heero curled in a ball on the bed. /Oh dear God what have they done to him/ Slowly moving towards the bed Duo placed a gentle hand on Heero's shoulder and heard the surprised gasp that fell from Heero's lips when he looked up to see him.
"Duo you came back?"
Smiling Duo nodded and held Heero tightly to him as the boy began to cling to him and cry out all the pain he had went through for the past five years. Duo rocked gently with Heero in his arms and whispered sweet words of comfort. Once Heero seemed to calm down enough duo began to lead him away from this torture. As they passed through the kitchen Heero saw Dr J's body laying limp on the floor and gasped.
"It's okay, everything is fine. Lets go Hee-chan."
With that said Duo led the unrelenting Heero away not quite sure where to go. Heero just seemed to be in a daze following Duo wherever he took him. He didn't really care. All he could think of at that moment was the fact that Duo had come back to save him and that everything was going to be okay. /He also called me Hee-chan/ Blushing slightly Heero moved quickly to walk beside Duo aware of the fact that his hand was clasped firmly by the older boy and that it was quite content to stay that way.
Not too far away from the two boys walking hand in hand three other young men watched on in surprise. The tallest of the three decided to break the silence.
"Now I see why he's been leaving so often."
"Yes Trowa and I can see why he is reluctant to listen to his father. I think solving the problem is going to be a lot harder as we can't be sure whether this Heero is actually good or not."
Both vampires nodded at the wizard and decided it would be best to leave and discuss things a bit later.
"We will return another day. I think it would be best to let their majesties know that Duo won't be returning home for a few days. Also I think you are becoming tired Wufei. The spell you've cast to let us into the sunlight won't last for too much longer so it would be best if we returned to the palace as Trowa and I are not as powerful as Duo."
All agreed they made their way back to the palace and planed on making another trip to the surface in a few more days to determine whether or not Heero was a cause for concern.
Tbc.
SM: Wow that was long. Longest I ever wrote I think. I hope everyone is happy coz I killed J. sorry if it wasn't too much of a great death.
Duo: Where was the torture?
SM: I didn't want to spend ages on J's death and besides you killed so be happy he's dead. I could have always have kept him alive. And also things are getting better and you saved Heero and I gave Quatre, Trowa and Wufei a slightly bigger role.
Wufei: It's not much
SM: Hey I at least made you powerful. Don't tempt me or I'll make you seem weak.
Wufei: You wouldn't dare.
SM: Try me
Duo: I wouldn't if I were you Wu.
SM: See even Duo agrees with me now go and make yourself useful.
Wufei: ::grumbles about stupid onnas::
