Chapter 23
A week had passed since Itara had left Bathoria and it seemed that everything had gone back to normal. However, anyone who entered the palace walls would not be able to shake off or miss the foreboding feeling that surround the castle. Perhaps it was due to this that the occupant sleeping within the prince's room woke with a start. Heero didn't quite know what had caused the dreams he had been having but he knew they couldn't just be dreams and he didn't want to think of those horrifying images as being anything but a dream. He didn't know whether to feel relieved of sad that Duo wasn't by his side when he awoke. For the past week Duo had been getting up early and going to bed at late hours. The lovers hardly had anytime together and if they did Duo would be too tired to do anything or he would be called for something urgent two minutes later. Heero really missed the time he use to spend with Duo and hoped that now everything was beginning to settle they would be able to spend more time together. But with the reoccurring dream he had been having for the past three days he didn't know what to believe. Also the fact that Relena had become more and more persistent on her offers to Heero didn't help to ease any of Heero's fears. Relena seemed to further her resolve to have Heero as hers the closer it got to the day she was leaving and seeing as she would be leaving today Heero didn't want to think of the things that could take place.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was mid afternoon when Relena once again approached Heero to ask for his assistance in something and once again she was turned down. Leaving the library [1] she made her way out to the courtyard where to men where waiting for her. When she reached them they both bowed low before her.
"You summoned us milady."
"Yes, I have a very important assignment for the both of you. It must be done tonight just before I leave."
Both men where a bit fearful at the sinister look within Relena's eyes but refrained from saying anything instead listening to the task they would have to complete.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
a few minutes after Relena had left Duo walked into the library hoping to spend a few minute with his lover before he got called away again.
"What did she want this time?"
Heero jumped when he heard those words whispered in his ear. He hadn't even heard the door being opened.
"Sorry lover, I didn't mean to startle you."
"Hn."
"Oh come on Hee-chan I said I was sorry."
Smiling Heero turned to place a soft kiss on Duo's lips savouring the few minutes they had together. He watched closely as Duo slumped into the seat next to him. He could see that Duo was tired and he seemed to be losing all his energy quickly. Placing his book down Heero moved to sit on Duo's lap, laying his head on Duo's shoulder and placing light kisses on his neck. Duo hummed in appreciation of the treatment and tightened his grip on Heero's waist to keep him there. With Heero so close he could smell the alluring scent of his lovers blood. It had been a while since he had last drunk and he couldn't think of anything but the sweet taste of Heero's blood at that moment. Heero couldn't imagine what his lover was going through but from what he had read he had a slight idea of what to do. Moving to sit up slightly he tilted his head offering Duo his lifeblood as he had done before. Duo was shocked at this. He wasn't quite sure what to do.
"Don't worry Duo. It's okay. Nothing will happen to me."
Trusting his lover Duo moved his lips to the delectable neck of his lover and began placing butterfly kisses there as his lover had done for him before. After a few minutes of this Duo extended his fangs and slowly, gently sank them into Heero's neck tasting the sweet nectar of his blood. The deep moan that he both felt and heard only encouraged Duo to drink deeper, taking more of that delicious taste into his mouth. Heero was enjoying it as much as Duo was. It was if with every drop that Duo drank Heero could feel the passion and pleasure Duo felt. It was as if they were being joined together. But as much as both lovers were enjoying the feeling Duo pulled back drawing a whimper from Heero. Before Heero could protest any further Duo placed his lips on Heero's in a deep lust filled kiss. Heero, for the second time in that week, tasted his own blood. Pulling back from the kiss breathless the light emanating from Heero's shoulder did not escape Duo's eyes. Before he question Heero about this there was a knock on his father was calling the door and Duo once again. Sighing Duo looked to Heero apologetically but before he left though he had to ask one question.
"Why did you give me your blood Heero? After what I told you?"
Heero picked up the book he had been reading and showed it to Duo.
"It says here that in order for you to change me into a vampire you would have to exchange blood with me three times within three days and so far this is once seeing as the last time you feed on me was over a week ago. I would never make you do something you never wanted me too."
Placing another kiss on Heero's lips Duo smiled before leaving the library to meet with his father. Heero went back to his book. He hadn't finished reading it yet and he had only just recently read up on what he had told Duo so he didn't know if there was anything else that he needed to know. Before Heero could read any further he felt his stomach churn. Running to the nearby bathroom he made it just in time before the content of his stomach was emptied [2]. However, that did not help elevate the tension Heero could feel building up.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It was later that evening Duo finished the meetings with his father. He couldn't wait to see his lover again. He had coaxed his father into letting have a day f rest tomorrow and he planned on using that time well. Starting from this evening. Moving to the library Duo was planning on carrying his lover to their room and spending the entire evening ravishing Heero. Duo smirked as the images of just what he was thinking came to mind. Walking purposefully through the library doors he was surprised to see it empty. Looking around the various shelves of books Duo called for his lover.
"Heero?"
Coming to the conclusion that his lover must be elsewhere he turned to go looking for him when suddenly the doors burst open and a ranting Wufei walked in.
"Damn that onna. How dare she betray us!! The injustice of it all. The only justice would be to have her killed."
"Hey Wufei calm down!! What is going on?"
Wufei looked up at Duo and began mumbling again until he was somewhat calm before speaking up clearly.
"That stupid onna thought that we would not realize her betrayal but we re not as dumb as she thinks."
"Wufei who the hell are you talking about."
"That bitch Relena who thought we'd fall for her innocent act. Now she's ran off and the King has the guards looking for her."
"Why was she running?"
"One of the servants saw her talking to two men in the courtyard and just recently those two men where seen leaving the palace gates with someone seemed to be struggling to get free."
Before Wufei could continue Duo grab his shoulders and shook him.
"Wufei tell me which way did those men go!!"
"Erm I think they were headed to the surface why?"
Wufei didn't receive the answer to his question as Duo swiftly ran past him and outside the palace gates heading towards the surface. Now he knew why Relena seemed so busy today and in such a hurry to leave. /She had been planning this all along why didn't I see it sooner. Of course she would try to take Heero with her. Damn it. When I get a hold of her she's going to wish she never took what belongs to Shinigami./
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero didn't quite know what was going on. One minute he was quietly reading his book waiting for Duo and the next he was grab by two men being dragged out of the palace. He didn't quite know where the two men where taking him but he wasn't planning on making it easy on them. He kept struggling knowing that one of the palace guards where bound to see them and no matter how much the grip on his arms tightened he wouldn't give up. However, he could tell the two men where getting annoyed when their claw like nails dug into his skin but still Heero refused to give in. He knew those wounds would heal eventually so he had nothing to worry about. All of a sudden Heero was hit again with the same feeling of doom as he had earlier. Looking up ahead he noticed he was being lead to an ally and that's when he began to worry. It was not the fact that he was being lead to a dark deserted area that scarred him but rather the fact that the place seemed familiar to him in a dream.
"Ah it is nice of you to finally join me Heero. I knew that a little bit of persuasion would go very far."
Heero looked up and straight into the sinister blue eyes of Relena. Somehow he could not imagine Relena always being like this. It seemed very much unlike her.
"What do you want Relena?"
"Oh you know very well what I want."
Stepping closer to Heero she gently caressed his cheek. Heero used that chance to open up his mind and read into Relena's past and he found that his earlier assessment of her was true. He could see that Relena wasn't always this way. She use to hate the idea of blood, killing and war. She would do all in her power to prevent it and teach her pacifist ways but that all changed the day she lost her soul and was embraced by an evil web that would never let her go [3]. The men throwing him on the ground at Relena's feet knocked Heero out of his reverie. Relena looked down on him noticing the blood flowing from the wounds cause by her men and she growled glaring at them. She moved in front of them and lifting her hand she slapped them both hard across the face.
"What have I told you both about harming him? You were meant to bring him here without a scratch."
"We are sorry my lady but he wouldn't stop struggling and we believe he has gained the attention of the wizard within the palace." "You fools you've probably lead them straight here. I shall make you pat for your insolence."
Heero watched as Relena pulled out a silver sword and swinging it round she chopped one of the two men's head off. A minute later there was nothing but a pile of dust on the ground. Then Relena turned to the other man and dealt with him in the same way. Once done Relena sheathed her sword and stepped closer to Heero as he moved further away wanting to get as far away as possible.
"Don't you dare even think about taking another step closer to MY Hee- chan."
As soon as she heard that voice Relena turned around to glare at the speaker.
"Prince Shinigami to what to I owe this surprise visit?"
"Don't try toying with me Relena because right now I don't have the patience. Now I will tell you for the last time move away from Heero."
Smirking Relena moved back as duo got closer towards her. Once she was hidden with in the shadows she waited for the perfect opportunity to present itself. Duo moved as quickly as he could towards his lover making sure to keep an eye on where Relena was even though he could not see her very well. Duo kneeled next to Heero and gently caressed his cheek.
"You okay Hee-chan?"
Heero nodded but duo could see that his lover was still worried. Before he could question this further though he saw Relena moving within the shadow and he quickly stood turning to see Relena unsheathing a sword and holding it in an offensive position.
"As I have said before Prince Shinigami if I can not have him no one will."
With that said Relena charged towards Duo ready to strike. Duo didn't know what to do. He knew he could dodge the attack but he was worried Heero would end up getting hurt. He knew Relena was getting closer and he had to make a decision quick but his mind didn't seem up to the challenge. Suddenly he felt something wrap around his leg and pull him to the ground. The next second he heard the sound of metal hitting stone. Turning his head from the ground to look back he saw Heero's leg wrapped around his ankle and Relena standing above him, the sword a few inches away from his head. Relena moved back frowning. She hadn't expected Heero to help Duo but it didn't matter she would still win. Turning she was going to move toward Duo but Heero kicked out his legs tripping her up and causing her to fall face first to the ground. Heero stood up quickly and moved to help Duo up. Grabbing duo's wrist he tried to lead Duo away from the ally and quickly. The foreboding feeling he felt was growing stronger and he knew if they didn't get away quickly his nightmares would come true. They were close to the end of the alley when duo bought them to a halt.
"Heero what are you doing? We have to stop Relena now before she tries to hurt you again."
"No Duo we have to get away. Please love, listen to me."
Duo could see Heero was close to tears but he couldn't understand why.
"Heero, baby, what's wrong?"
Heero didn't know how to explain anything to duo but all he knew at that moment was they had to get away. They were so concentrated in each other that neither boy noticed Relena standing up and taking aim with her sword. Letting out a feral shout she ran, aiming her sword at Duo and picking up speed as she went. Both boys turned to watch the scene and for a split second time seemed to top for Heero or maybe he had caused it to stop. Now he knew what his dreams where telling him. They were telling him of the future. They told him of this moment in time and now he knew what he had to do. Moving fast Heero pushed Duo out of the way and felt the coldness of the silver sword being pushed through his stomach. He let out an agonizing scream as a blinding white light flooded from his stomach causing Relena to move back. A few seconds later the ally was silent again as Heero fell to the ground, a pool of blood forming beneath him. Duo was in a state of shock. Running towards Heero he kneeled down beside him placing his head on his lap he placed a soft kiss on Heero's forehead.
"Heero why? This is all my fault I should have listened to you and left."
Lifting his hand Heero placed it on Duo's cheek.
"It is not your fault love. I chose to save you even if I have to die."
"No, Heero don't say that. You'll be alright you'll see your wound will heal just like all the other times."
"I'm sorry Duo but this wound is too severe. Remember that I love you and I always will."
With that Heero moved and pulled the silver blade from his stomach. Placing it in Duo's hands he closed his eyes and took his last breath. Duo let out an unworldly scream to the heavens and it seemed as if it rang out throughout the world. With tears running down his face Duo looked down to the sword held in his hand. Looking at the blood on the blade Duo's anger grew. Standing he looked at the girl in front of him. She seemed to be in her own little world, looking at her hands and mumbling. Looking at her caused Duo's blood to boil. Tightening his grip on the sword he ran towards the girl who stood there waiting, knowing she would die and fully accepting it. Duo swung the sword first cutting off both of Relena's hands and she let out a scream.
"Those are the hands that dared to hurt my Hee-chan. You will feel pain before you die for what you have done."
Lifting the sword once again Duo stabbed Relena through the stomach leaning in close to her ear.
"Now you know hoe Heero felt when you did this to him but for you it burns more."
Duo slowly removed the sword twisting it around taking slight comfort in the pained sounds Relena was making.
"I'm sorry I didn't want to kill him. Please."
"It's too late for you to beg Relena. I'm sending you straight to Hell where you belong and I'll make sure your soul is torture forever."
With that said duo swung the sword round once again but this time aiming for Relena's head. Just like the men before her Relena's body fell to the floor and turned into a pile of dust. Duo dropped the sword to the ground and in a daze he left the ally his feet leading him home. If he had waited a few more minutes he may have been there to see confused Prussian eyes opening.

Heero didn't know how to explain anything to duo but all he knew at that moment was they had to get away.

He let out an agonizing scream as a blinding white light flooded from his stomach causing Relena to move back. A few seconds later the ally was silent again as Heero fell to the ground, a pool of blood forming beneath him. Duo was in a state of shock. Running towards Heero he kneeled down beside him placing his head on his lap he placed a soft kiss on Heero's forehead.
"Heero why? This is all my fault I should have listened to you and left."
Lifting his hand Heero placed it on Duo's cheek.
"It is not your fault love. I chose to save you even if I have to die."
"No, Heero don't say that. You'll be alright you'll see your wound will heal just like all the other times."
"I'm sorry Duo but this wound is too severe. Remember that I love you and I always will."
With that Heero moved and pulled the silver blade from his stomach. Placing it in Duo's hands he closed his eyes and took his last breath. Duo let out an unworldly scream to the heavens and it seemed as if it rang out throughout the world. With tears running down his face Duo looked down to the sword held in his hand. Looking at the blood on the blade Duo's anger grew. Standing he looked at the girl in front of him. She seemed to be in her own little world, looking at her hands and mumbling. Looking at her caused Duo's blood to boil. Tightening his grip on the sword he ran towards the girl who stood there waiting, knowing she would die and fully accepting it. Duo swung the sword first cutting off both of Relena's hands and she let out a scream.
"Those are the hands that dared to hurt my Hee-chan. You will feel pain before you die for what you have done."
Lifting the sword once again Duo stabbed Relena through the stomach leaning in close to her ear.
"Now you know hoe Heero felt when you did this to him but for you it burns more."
Duo slowly removed the sword twisting it around taking slight comfort in the pained sounds Relena was making.
"I'm sorry I didn't want to kill him. Please."
"It's too late for you to beg Relena. I'm sending you straight to Hell where you belong and I'll make sure your soul is torture forever."
With that said duo swung the sword round once again but this time aiming for Relena's head. Just like the men before her Relena's body fell to the floor and turned into a pile of dust. Duo dropped the sword to the ground and in a daze he left the ally his feet leading him home. If he had waited a few more minutes he may have been there to see confused Prussian eyes opening.
