Title: The Ancient
Author: Shinigami's Minion
Pairing: 2x1 maybe 3x4 (not sure yet)
Warnings: (mainly for later chapters) AU, angst, blood, romance, maybe lemon, Evil Relena (if you like her I don't suggest reading this), OOC
Disclaimer: As much as I love Gundam Wing its characters do not belong to me. However, the other characters that I have mentioned do.
Feedback: Yes please review. I'll be very grateful
I'd like to give big thanks to: Chara - I do wuv you so don't worry. Hope you like this chapter so much that I deserve lots of porky. x1-Taken-Over - I hope this chapter satisfies a little of you Duo and Heero loving. I'll be getting to the love real soon I promise. Ozzypoos - I'm glad you liked it. I was hoping to add a little more 2x1 stuff and I hope this chapter is satisfying too. Alia Lowe - lol I like that and it's very tempting to use heh. I can't give away any secrets so you'll have to read to see what happens. Relena will come in though in the next few chapter I think. The fluff will come eventually too if my muses let me. Darwynn Devi - Aww soooooo cute!!! Of course I'll write more!! Hope you enjoy it.
Author Note: I'm sorry I haven't written in a while but I had lots of work to do and I kept falling asleep because I was so tired. I'll hopefully have the next chapter up by Sunday and if I can I'll try to put up two chapters.

Chapter 17
They had been staying in the flat like hotel room for a few days now. After having killed Dr J, Duo immediately led Heero somewhere to stay. The place itself was quite spacious considering that it had two beds, a couch, a television, a dining table big enough for two and a medium sized kitchen along with all other necessities. Everything had been fine, or so Duo thought, but he found that Heero seemed a lot more withdrawn then usual. Duo could remember five years back when Heero would smile and laugh at him all the time but now it was if all that happiness had been taken away from him. More like forced out of him but Duo wasn't about to say anything. Looking at how much Heero had matured from the child that he was and still should be Duo didn't even want to think about what else had happened while he was away. When he had seen Heero he couldn't see any visible marks to show anything had happened. Duo found that odd seeing as Heero had slid across hundreds of shards of broken glass without so much as a scratch to prove it ever happened. However, continuously being woken by a screaming Heero after he had a nightmare was proof enough. Duo wasn't even sure they needed two beds seeing as he spent most of his time in Heero's trying to comfort him. His presence always seemed to calm the boy and kept the nightmares at bay yet no matter how much he persisted Heero never told him what they were about or what had happened to him for the past five years. So Duo decided to be patient and hope that in his own time Heero will tell him what happened. Even though Duo knew Heero was keeping secrets he still had a lot more to contemplate. While staying with Heero even for those few days he realized just how much he missed his friend. That led him back to thinking about how much he truly cared for Heero and no matter how much his brain tried to argue Duo knew in his heart that he loved Heero for a long time. He just didn't want to see it and after all that his mother had taught him she helped him define what he was feeling and he could finally say that he loved Heero. Some how he knew they were meant to be together and he had a feeling that Heero felt the same way for him. Smiling Duo decided the first step would be to tell Heero how he felt.
//I'm glad you've finally decided to listen to your heart son//
//Mother? Isn't there a rule against reading others thoughts//
//Not at all. Now before you go and sweep Heero off his feet I suggest you come home as your father wishes to have a word with you//
//I'll be there in an hour//
Feeling his mother leaving the mind connection Duo went to Heero's room to let him know of his short departure.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero also had a lot on his mind for the past few days. He knew Duo was only trying to help him but he wasn't sure on how Duo would handle the fact that Heero had magical powers (1). It's not that he didn't trust Duo he just didn't want Duo to thing he was weird. He knew a long time ago that he loved Duo not only by his magic but also the way his heart always seemed to be drawn to Duo. Heero didn't know what would happen if Duo left him. Without Duo being here with him he'd have no one. Heero was interrupted from his musing by the door being opened. Looking up he saw Duo standing in the doorway smiling at him.
"Hee - chan I'm just going to go run an errand. I'll be back in a few hours okay?"
Heero nodded in response smiling inwardly at the nickname Duo had given him after he had rescued him. Heero didn't understand why Duo called him Hee - chan but he didn't care because every time Duo called him by that name it seemed to warm his heart. Walking out of his room Heero waved as Duo left and sat on the couch to watch some television.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Duo moved swiftly down the castle hallways towards the throne room where he knew his father would be. Walking in he bowed slightly.
"You asked to see me?"
"Yes, I wanted to know where you have been these past few days without letting me know?"
"You know perfectly well where I've been. My training is done so I don't see why it should bother you anymore."
Arlos frowned at the mention of his training and Duo couldn't understand why. He had started training thinking that if he learnt to use his powers his father would allow him to go to the surface a lot more but ever since he started training his father seemed against it and disapproved.
"Well I think it best if you stay here at the castle."
"I don't particularly care what you think at this moment father. Now if you'll excuse me I have to go as it is now evening and I have places to be."
Without waiting for his father to dismiss him Duo left going straight towards the hotel. He could feel that Heero was worried and scared about something and he wanted to get there before anything happened. /Why do theses things always happen when I leave/
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero had been watching the TV for a few hours waiting for Duo to return. Hearing a knock on the door Heero wonder if Duo had perhaps forgotten his door. He was surprised to find after three men in suits stood at the door looking him up and down.
"Are you Heero?"
Unsure of himself Heero nodded.
"Good. You'll need to come with us please."
"Who are you?"
"We are with the social services. We have recently found out about Dr J's death and spent the last few days searching for you. It is a good thing we found you. Seeing as you are not eighteen yet we will have to take you to the nearest orphanage."
"But I'm staying here with a friend."
"I'm sorry that will not be possible to do. You can either come with us willingly or we can take you by force."
Feeling the same fear as he did when staying with J Heero thought it best if he just went along. Hanging his head he followed the men who led him to the train station hoping Duo would come back soon so he could at least say goodbye.
Tbc.
Bare in mind neither Heero nor Duo know about each others powers so this is why Heero would think Duo wouldn't like him.
SM: ..
Duo: Aren't you meant to say something here?
SM: ::nods::
Duo: Then why aren't you?
SM: ::shrugs::
Duo: Okay..why are you so quiet?
SM: ::shrugs::
Duo: You're becoming a lot like Heero and that's not a good thing. Maybe reading reviews will cheer you up. So everyone please review and cheer my minion up okay.
