Chapter 24
Two shadows watched as the furious Shinigami let his rage loose on the one whom dared to touch the one he loved. Golden yellow eyes only kept one eye focused on the death of one of his minions while the other stayed fixated on the body lying on the floor.
"Master, should we not go help Lady Relena."
"NO!! That foolish girl had let her lust blind her and she deserves everything she gets."
"But Master.are you sure he's the one?"
"Of course I'm sure. Do you dare to question my knowledge!?'
"No Master.of course not.how foolish of me. Please forgive me."
The other just waved his hand in dismissal and watched as the young Shinigami left the site. Then he returned his gaze to the man on the ground and watched as his eyes opened in a new way.
"Come it is time."
With that said the two left their hiding place within the shadows and made their way towards the confused boy.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Heero opened his eyes and tried to work out where he was. Slowly sitting up the first thing he noticed was the blood all around him yet he couldn't find a wound anywhere on his body. Standing up slowly he began to feel light headed and grabbed onto the wall for support. /What am I doing here and how did I get here. The last thing I remember was./ Heero had to stop his train of thought as his head started to pound as if a herd of elephants where stomping across it.
"Heero, my child, I am so glad you are okay."
Heero spun around shocked at the sound of a voice behind him.
"Who.who are you?"
"Oh, my pet, do you not remember?"
Heero shook his head. He couldn't remember anything.
"Come with me and let me show you."
Heero took the hand that was offered to him and followed the man further down the ally where there was more blood and strangely a pile of dust in the middle of it all.
"I know things of recent are bit foggy but I know you still remember you powers right?"
At Hero's shocked expression and silent nod he continued
"Touch that pile there and look into the past."
Heero knelt down and closed his eyes, doing what he was told. He could see images of a young girl with blond hair screaming in agony. He could see all the blood and he heard her pleading. But no matter how hard he tried he couldn't see who her tormentor was and why she was being slowly lead to her death. Coming out of is trance like state Heero gasped with only one word falling from his lips.
"Shinigami.."
"Yes young one it was Shinigami who killed your dearest friend."
"My friend?"
"Yes, you and Relena where both my children and you both loved each other like brother and sister. Shinigami came once again to take away your only family and we were too late to come and help again. I am sorry. Please forgive me."
"What do you mean by once again?"
"He was the one who sent those demons to kill your parents all those years ago remember?"
Heero did remember. He remembered the many tears he cried but he could also remember someone being there to comfort him and keep him safe. However, he still couldn't make out who it was that helped him.
"My child, do not dwell too much on the events of the past. Let me take you back to your home and show you the powers of your new form."
"New form?"
"Yes, pet. Remember you were a mortal but now because of Shinigami you are something entirely different."
"A vampire"
"Yes, my child. Come now lets get you back home. I am sure there are plenty of people who are anxiously waiting your save return."
Heero nodded his head and followed behind the vampire. Before he left the ally though he had to ask one question.
"You remember who I am but I do not remember you. Please tell me your name."
"I am Yama, King of the kingdom in which you live and you, Heero, are one of my many children."
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
It seemed to Duo like he had been walking aimlessly for hours but he didn't really care. Nothing mattered to him anymore because he had lost the only thing in life that had made him feel alive. He had found himself back at Bathoria castle and as soon as he got there he was being lead to his father's chambers.
"My son what is wrong?"
"Heero.he's gone forever."
Arlos did something he had not done for a very long time. He gathered his son into his arms and allowed him to cry.
"Shh my son it will all be alright."
Rubbing calming circles round Duo's back Arlos lead his son to the bed and sat him down still whispering calming word into his ear. Once Duo calmed down he looked at his father.
"How can you say everything will be alright. Heero is gone and he will never come back."
"Calm down Duo and just breath. Look deep inside and tell me how you really feel."
"I feel pain father a great pain that will never fade away."
"I know you are hurting Duo but that is only because you think Heero is gone."
Duo looked confused. He's father must be going crazy because he had seen Heero die with his own eyes.
"I do not understand."
"Tell me Duo do you feel an emptiness inside like something has been ripped away from you?"
Duo was about to say yes but at his father's look he searched deep within his heart and he honestly had to shake his head no.
"That means Heero is still with us. You see Duo you and Heero have bounded and you share the same soul because you are soul mates like your mother and I. If Heero was really gone from this world you would feel and emptiness in your heart because you have lost part of yourself. The only thing I can think of that would make sense is that Heero has now become a vampire."
"But how can you be so sure father."
"Because everyday your mother moves further away from me I feel a little part of me fade away. I know I have not been the best father but I was truly worried. If I had known things would have happened this way I would have acted differently. But I guess there is no changing the past so I must deal with the consequences."
Duo let it all sink in. If Heero was a vampire that would mean he was still here. But that would mean he'd still be in the ally and he'd be on his own. Duo had to get there quick. However, before he could leave his father stopped him.
"No, son. He is not there anymore. It seems our rivals have got a hold of him and we have no idea what they will do."
"Damn it all!! If only I had stayed there longer I could have stopped them. I could have bought him back here with me."
"Do not blame yourself son. I should have been more cautious. But do not worry I have many people searching for the where abouts of the hidden castle and I am sure Heero will be there. Just be patient my son and it will all be fine."
"But I cannot just wait around here I would end up going mad."
Arlos chuckled and shook his head at his son's antics."
"You shall have to train very hard my son to become stronger in order to make your way through that palace. I have been there before and I warn you it is not an easy task. I shall help train you as much as I can. You can also help the finders in their search for the palace if it will make you feel better."
Duo was a bit shocked at all the help his father was giving him but he was also glad.
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
As Heero stepped into his 'home' he couldn't feel any familiarity. It seemed as if he had never been there before. Where as he could remember faintly a place full of joy all he could feel around him was darkness. It didn't help that the lighting was very weak giving the place an eerie feel. Even after everything that Yama had told him Heero still didn't find anything that reminded him of this place and he couldn't recognize anyone.
"Yama why can I not recognize these people?"
Heero couldn't understand why everyone was giving him strange looks. Nor could he understand why everyone looked at him shocked when he had asked that question.
"Heero the reason why you do not recognize these people is because Shinigami has caused you to forget them but in time you will remember don't worry too much about it."
"Well if they know me why are they looking at me so strangely?"
"They are just as confused as you are my child and also it is because you called me just Yama. All here in the palace know to address me as Master or Master Yama."
"Oh I am so sorry."
"No need to apologise. I know what you are going through but just remember what to address me as from now on understand?"
Heero nodded wanting to do anything to help the only person willing to shed some light to his past and help him remember. He followed Yama down endless corridors placing them all into memory so he would not end up getting lost.
"Where are we going?"
"I'm taking you too meet someone who will hopefully help you remember who you are. He was very worried about you ever since you disappeared."
Heero nodded looking forward to meeting someone he would hopefully know. He followed Yama to a set of red doors. Without even knocking Yama pushed the door open and stepped in waiting for Heero to follow. As soon as he stepped into the room the yet unknown occupant of the room pulled him into an embrace. After a few moments he was let go and Heero had to look up to see the face of this person. He had blue eyes and his features looked slightly similar to Relena's. His long blond hair flowed down his back free from any restraint and it sent a spark through Heero's body. Was this the man that he felt safe with?
"Oh Heero I'm so glad to see that you are okay."
Heero still looked confused not being able to place a name to this person. He watched as the man seemed hurt by his lack of reaction. He was just about to apologise when Yama stepped in.
"Heero I'm sure you may not remember him but you must try. This is Zechs. The two of you are very close. He is also Relena's brother."
Heero looked at Zechs again and he must have been someone important.
"Well I did feel something when I saw him."
"I knew you would not forget the one you loved."
Heero looked up shocked at Yama. Zechs was his lover!? Well that would explain why in his flashbacks he felt safe and warm. But for some reason he couldn't put Zechs face to the mysterious figure in his visions.
"Well I shall leave the two of you alone. I'm sure you will have a lot to talk about. Do not worry Heero Zechs will tell you all you need to know and he will help you learn to harness your powers so that you can use them to defeat your enemy."
Heero watched as Yama left the room and shut the doors behind him. He turned to see Zechs eyeing him up and down as he sat on the bed. Sighing Heero sat next to his 'lover' and waited. Zechs moved closer to him placing a hand on his leg. At Heero flinch he moved his hand away and frowned.
"I'm sorry Zechs but I just don't know what is happening and I'm so confused."
Zechs gathered the confused boy in his arms.
"Shh love don't worry. We do not have to do anything you are not comfortable with. Come I think you should rest."
Laying Heero down gently on the bed Zechs held him as he fell asleep and Heero was thankful for the warm and comfort that he provided.
