Death's Slave--
By: BluJester
A long shadow covered the only exit to the alley.
It was here. He had been running and hiding for so long. If only I could do that now.
He readied himself to escape. He watched as the shadow got smaller and smaller. His predator rounded the corner and his first thought was simply What the Hell? A thought that he readily repeated aloud.
"What the Hell?"
There standing before him was a boy, a very familiar boy. He wore a green tank top and black spandex shorts. His hair, a light brown, flowed wildly in front of his face obscuring it from view. It was Heero alright, but there was one thing out of place…
He was holding a dead puppy in his arms.
"Heero?"
When Duo asked his question Heero's eyes snapped up. Still that same shade of cobalt blue, but not nearly as emotionless. Duo wanted to ask so many questions but Heero stopped him before he could start. He looked straight into Duo's eyes and Duo watched in amazement as a single tear fell down his face.
"After this I don't have to kill anymore." he said before closing his eyes.
Duo was stunned. He had never seen Heero being anything that could be remotely considered emotional. But he still kept his gun aimed at Heero wary of his surroundings.
What did Heero mean by 'after this' ?
Then suddenly Duo felt it. He knew the enemy was close. He searched the alleyway for where the feeling was coming from and ended up staring Heero straight in the face again.
Uh-oh if its Heero there's no way I'm getting out of here gun or no. He could care less if I shot him and he'd keep coming regardless. I've learned that from experience.
Heero's eyes opened once again but this time the emotionless void was back. The dead puppy in Heero's arms began to convulse and Heero's green top was turning red with blood.
Duo scrunched up his nose. Eww…
Heero opened his mouth once again and stated in a hollow unearthly voice, "Your mine, you can't escape me now Duo."
Duo stared at Heero in horror; the gun in his hands shaking from his trembling.
I can do this; I can do this. Aww crap, I'm not supposed to lie. I'm going to die; I'm going to die.
Man, and I really wanted to watch TV tonight too…
TBC…
Review if you're bored.
I just wanted to thank my three reviewers BC1, rikasakuraduo-heerosyliaspike, and Shinimegami-Rin you're the only reason I decided to post more of this story.
