Chapter: 14/?
Pairings: 1x2, 3x4 and 13x5x6.
Rating: R, drama, angst and sap. TWT
Warnings: R, violence, darkness, madness, bad language and
some sap. To those whom actually likes Relena I must tell you
that I plainly hate her and this fic is a real big Relena
bashing, don't flame me for it because you have been already
warned. All flames will be made fun of! Since I
had a big problem about Wufei's honor and loyalty to his comrades
I send the timeline to fly far away and our dear Treize will not
die ^^V
AN: Well, this is my first fic about Gundam Wing so I ask
you to please not be too harsh with me ^^! Even when there's 3x4
and 13x5x6 the main pair is 1x2. Maybe you could think Heero is
OOC but I don't think so... He's in love; you know how that
affects people. OOC Relena? Don't make me laugh, I don't think
there can be an OOC Relena... I hope you understand what I mean.

Disclaimer: I got all the 7 Dragon Balls and asked Sheng
Long to let me own them. Later I discovered that Kamisama had
been arrested for plagiarism and fraud ^^!

Chapter 14
Duo looked at Heero nervously. He knew his lover didn't want to
go there and see her. She had done enough damage already and
Heero had the feeling that nothing good would come out of this
visit.
"Hee-chan, love... I know you don't want to be here, but
it's really important for me to know how is she"
Heero just couldn't understand why Duo cared so much of Relena's
state of mind. She had tried to hurt him in a level beyond repair
and he knew that because he had seen everything that day at the
end of the battle.
"Duo..."
"She won't hurt me. If I'm right and what I think it was a
dream actually wasn't one, then I have to know
how it affected her"
"Duo, please tell me what happened?"
"I'll tell you everything after we had seen her, ok?"
Heero sighed but nodded.
"Ok"
They walked down the corridors of the hospital Relena was in. The
floor they were in was a restricted area and only the parents of
patients were allowed and only if the head doctor gave his
permission. They had not only Sally's permission but they had
Zechs' signature with them. Heero had asked Sally to try and
contact Zechs one way or the other. In less than four hours he
had the signed permission from Milliard Peacecraft and Sally Po
in his hand.
They stopped in front of a blue door that had the name Relena
Peacecraft on it and under it was a sign that said High risk
patient. No visits allowed. Duo sneered at the warning, as
if that could stop them. The longhaired pilot opened the door
slowly and noiseless. He entered the room without making any
noise and Heero followed him equally quiet.
The room barely had things. It was completely white and it had a
simple nightstand at the side of the bed and on it there was a
glass of water and a pill. Relena was sitting in the bed and the
back of it had been lifted so she could be more comfortable. She
had her hands over he extended legs and her eyes were opened, but
it was obvious she wasn't looking at anything. Her sight was
fixed upwards, looking at the ceiling.
It was like looking at a doll that had been left alone in one
corner. None of the two felt bad for her, not even pity. Duo
shook his head and approached her bed.
"Relena? Relena do you hear me?"
She turned her head slowly and looked at him, and then her eyes
opened wide and her face turned as white as the room they were in.
"Y-you!! Go away! Get away from me! I already told you I
wouldn't try to see him again or call him or anything! Just leave!
LEAVE!"
Duo understood then, the dream had been true. His other
self had gone to punish her, and it seemed that Heero didn't even
notice it.
"Relena, please calm down. I'm not here to hurt you. I just
want to talk with you"
"No! Leave right now!"
Duo shook his head and turned to see a very shocked Heero. Relena
followed Duo's sight and it was then that she noticed the other
one in the room. She became even paler, and she was shaking in
terror now.
"No! Please leave! You can't be here! I can't see you or
talk to you!"
Heero didn't understand and he never liked when he didn't
understand what was happening around him.
"Relena?"
"Please go! Please..."
She started to cry and her body was shaking even more.
"I don't want to keep dying... not like that... please"
Duo shook his head and made Heero leave the room. Heero looked at
him hesitantly but did as Duo asked him. Once Heero was out and
the door was closed Duo went back at the side of Relena's bed.
"I won't say I'm sorry Relena. I saw the same thing you saw
a lot of times. Again and again and there's no way I will ever
forget it. You tried to kill me and in the process you would have
killed Heero too. I will never forgive that you almost made him
suffer so much. If you had succeeded Heero would have died and
you would have made all our efforts to bring peace useless"
"Leave me alone... please"
"No Relena. First you have to promise me some things"
"Will you leave and never come back again?"
"I will"
"Then talk"
Duo sighed and shook his head.
"There's something you must understand Relena, and that's
that no matter what you do, you will never get rid of those
scenes. However, you still will do as I say. Once we leave,
you'll contact your brother and ask him to organize a press
conference. There you'll resign to your place as the princess of
the Peacecraft family; you'll resign to your name and never try
to work for the government. You will leave the Sanc kingdom and
never come back... Understand?"
Relena nodded, but for Duo that was not enough.
"A nod won't do Relena. You must agree verbally and soon
you'll sign official papers. There will be a restriction order
too, won't try to contact any of us or be at less than twenty
miles away from us. You won't contact your brother for anything.
Relena, you will have to learn how to live by yourself. Like most
of us had to do since we were kids"
Relena felt the tears falling through her cheeks.
"I can't even see my brother... ever again?"
"You won't be allowed to contact him. But it will depend of
him if he want to see you or not. I can't force him to stay away
from you if he doesn't want to"
"What if I don't do as you say?"
Duo's eyes turned a shade between red and violet and he spoke in
a deep voice that Relena could recognize easily.
"You really don't want to know what will happen to you"
With that Duo turned on his heel and left the room. Relena stayed
in the same position she was when they first entered but her face
showed an expression of pure horror.
* * *
Heero had been pacing from one side to the other while Duo talked
with Relena. When his lover finally left the room he gave him a
look that said explain now, and Duo knew better than to
try and avoid the matter. Heero would always make him talk and
this time more than ever.
"Can we leave this place first? I would prefer if we talk
about this somewhere else"
"We can go to a cafe that's near the beach. I'm sure you
must be hungry. I know a toast and a coffee are not enough
breakfast for you"
Duo nodded and they left the hospital. They had woken up early
that morning and only had a small breakfast so they could go
faster and finish the meeting sooner. They got into the
car and headed towards the beach. During the short trip they
didn't say a thing, and Duo felt relieved for it. He really
didn't know how to tell Heero about his dream. He knew
he wouldn't doubt of him but that didn't mean it wouldn't be
estrange.
Heero parked the car and turned off the engine. Duo sighed and
opened the door to leave the car; Heero looked at him worriedly
but didn't say a thing. They walked towards the cafe, entered
quietly and then looked for a table that would be in a corner so
they could talk in peace. Once hey had took seat a waitress
approached them and gave them the menu.
Duo looked over it, closed it and then gave it back the girl
standing next their table.
"I would like a portion of waffles and a strong coffee,
thank you"
"And you sir?"
"Just a cup of coffee, thanks"
The waitress left and Heero turned to look at his lover.
"Now Duo, please tell me why did you want to visit her so
badly"
Duo looked down and shook his head; he took a deep breath and
then raised his head to look at Prussian blue.
"Heero... you know I'm not normal. I share my body with
Shinigami and... and he wanted to make justice. He's extremely
upset about what Relena tried to do and he... he gave her the
punishment he thought was the most appropriate"
Heero wasn't shocked nor he was surprised, but he was impressed.
"What did he do?"
"Do you remember the dream I had yesterday? When you said
you felt the temperature of my body had gone down a few degrees?"
Heero nodded but didn't say anything.
"Well, that happened because he left my body to pay her a
visit, but since we are connected deeply I saw and felt what he
did"
Heero's eyes narrowed, not because he was worried about Relena's
safety but because he was worried of Duo's welfare.
"Did he hurt her?"
Duo seemed to misunderstand Heero's worry and he narrowed his
eyes too.
"Are you worried about her?"
"No. I'm worried about you Duo. I don't want to see you in a
hospital bed again because of her or him"
Duo lowered his face.
"Heero..."
Just then their orders came and the waitress put the plate of
waffles in front of Duo together with the coffee and gave Heero
his own.
"If you need anything just call me, my name is Helen"
Duo smiled.
"That's a beautiful name"
She blushed and smiled nervously. Heero smiled too, he knew why
Duo had said that.
"Thank you sir"
"You're welcome"
Duo said smiling again.
"I'll be near the bar if you need me"
"Ok, thank you Helen"
Heero could see gleam in Duo's eyes when he said the name. Helen
turned around and left them alone once again.
"I miss her and father Maxwell too..."
"I know Duo"
Heero took Duo's hand and caressed it softly. They didn't speak
for a while and Duo really needed the silence. He took the fork
and knife and started to eat and for the first time since they
had been together Heero saw Duo eat his waffles slowly. He hadn't
finished his waffles when he put his fork back on the plate and
looked at Heero once again.
"He showed her everything. Every little detail of it... that
will be the only thing she'll see every night when she goes back
to sleep... He knows what he was doing. He wouldn't let her go
insane but she'll see the same thing I saw and what you all saw
that day at the battle..."
Heero had his eyes wide open.
"God..."
"The problem here is that... Heero, I hope you understand me...
I'm not a bad person and I don't like to see people suffering but...
but I'm actually glad with it. I approve what he did. I feel it
was the right thing to do"
Duo lowered his eyes he really didn't want to see the look on
Heero's eyes, because he felt that he would see sadness and maybe
something else.
"Duo... Duo look at me please"
"I can't... Heero, even when I feel glad he did it I know is
something terrible. She will be tortured for the rest of her life
and I want that to happen, I want her to suffer. When I woke up
that day and I saw her I felt everything again, I didn't want to
sleep because I knew I would see all again..."
Duo was sniffing and some tears were falling down his cheeks.
"When I was in coma all I could see and feel was that. Over
and over again... I wanted to die right there and then; I didn't
want to keep suffering that same pain and terror again... But he
helped me and stopped the images and helped me to wake up again
and accept what I was and who I was... I owed him his revenge"
Heero stood up and took seat at Duo's side; he embraced him and
soothed him.
"Duo, I'm not angry with you... I couldn't care less about
her... That day, when we all received the images we not only saw
them... we lived them"
Duo raised his head and stared at Heero.
"Did... did the guys talked with you?!"
Heero shook his head.
"No, but I felt it, I lived it. I'm sure they did as well.
When I saw all that I understood what you told me when we were at
Howard's base, and I will never forgive her for the pain you had
to endure so many times... And you must be sure that our friends
will never either"
"Heero!"
Duo buried his face on Heero's shirt and cried. They didn't
notice the waitress looking at them and they never noticed her
smiling sadly. Duo stayed with his face buried in Heero's shirt
for a while more, but he had already stopped crying.
"Duo... What exactly happened yesterday?"
Duo raised his face and before he could do it himself, Heero was
already cleaning his face from the tears. Duo sniffed a little
more and then started to tell him.
~Flashback~
She was lying awake on her hospital bed; it had been several days
since her brother's visit. He had said he may come again but it
wouldn't be too soon since he had some important matters he had
to attend to. His visit had been exactly what she had needed and
now she was completely aware of her surroundings. Soon she would
be back at the mansion in Sanc and hopefully Heero would be there.
"My Heero... I hope you'll be waiting for me"
The doctors had told Zechs that she had completely erased the
event that had brought her there. So she didn't remember Heero
hitting her or her trying to cut Duo's braid. They never told her
why she was there, at least not the truth. They had told her that
she had reacted badly to some food and that they needed her to
stay there so they could be sure she was ok.
The only light in the room was coming from a small lamp on her
bedside. The curtains where shut and so she was in shadows. She
sighed and turned her head and it was then that she saw it.
"AHHH!! Hel-"
But her scream was muffled by a hand.
"Stop screaming, no one will come to help you I've taken
care of that. I will release you now"
The hand disappeared and she was about to keep screaming when the
figure approached to the light and she recognized it. Her eyes
narrowed and a look of pure hatred fell upon the figure in font
of her.
"What the hell are you doing here, you filthy-"
"I wouldn't continue if I were you"
"You can't threaten me. I'm the Queen of the World and I'm
the ruler of the Sanc Kingdom. I don't know how you did to get in
here but I-"
"Shut. Up!"
He lowered his face so she could see it clearly and just then she
noticed the difference. Her eyes widened in shock and her hands
were trembling.
"What... what are you?! You're not that idiot Maxwell!"
He smiled somberly.
"I am him, in a way... I live inside him, but that's nothing
of your concern. You tried to destroy Duo and now I'm here to
give you your punishment"
Once again she narrowed her eyes and looked at him defiantly, as
if she actually could do something to him.
"My punishment?"
She raised an eyebrow.
"You tried to destroy a soul so pure and important that you
must be punished"
She laughed cynically.
"Maxwell? Pure and important? Please don't make me laugh...
He's just an idiot, Heero would be better off without him"
He leaned closer to her, his red eyes shining deadly.
"He would have died if he hadn't been there. Relena, from
now on everything you'll be able to see in your dreams will be
the horrors that would have happened if you had succeeded in your
attack towards Duo"
"I never tried to attack that scum. Be sure I would never
try to even touch him"
"But you did. You tried to take the only thing that keeps
him here. The only thing that keeps me under control..."
She frowned.
"You never told me who you were"
"I, you rotten soul, am Shinigami. The God of Death... and
I'll make you pay for your audacity"
He touched her forehead with his index finger and a black light
started to pour from it towards Relena. Her eyes went wide open
and there was an expression of terror.
"From now on, you'll never see anything else in your dreams.
You'll never forget what your stupidity could have created"
Her screams could have been heard everywhere, but no one came to
help her. Once the light had subsided he withdrew his finger.
"You will never forget and will forever be lucid to know the
consequences of your acts. I'm Shinigami and for that only I have
to power to never let you die by your own hand. Your death will
have to wait some decades from now on. Good bye Relena and I hope
for you to be a better person in your next life"
She saw how the beautiful God disappeared; his shining red eyes
forever engraved in her memory. A tear rolled down her face and
she refused to close her eyes. She had seen in a flash what would
be her eternal torture, and she knew that if she closed her eyes
the experience would be a hundred times worst. But there was
nothing she could do, after a while her eyelids fell closed and
she fell asleep. Her dreams were filled with images of one Duo
transformed into a demon, a god with the power of taking a life
with just thinking about it.
Dreams full with one Heero suffering the lost of his lover and
the sight of the only group able to stop the war falling into
pieces. The sight of her own brother turning his back to her and
finally her own death in the most painful and horrible way. And
she knew she would see all of that, with all the details forever.
And she wouldn't be able to stop it, not even trying to end her
own life.
It was the worst torture someone could endure.
~End Flashback~
Heero sat there voiceless, and Duo thought the worst. He was sure
Heero would tell him that what he did have been horrible and that
no one deserved that. He feared that his lover would leave him
there alone and would never want to see him again, but he found
himself suddenly being embraced by a pair of very strong arms.
Strong enough to bend iron.
"Heero?"
Duo lifted his face from Heero's chest and saw the Prussian blue
eyes wet with unshed tears.
"Heero are you alright?"
"Yes... I'm ok. But I want to know how are you. Duo, all
this time you had to cope with what happened all alone because
you never wanted to tell me what had you seen. When the zero
system made us all see and feel exactly what you did I couldn't
understand how was that you were still sane... I think it's time
for all of us to sit down and talk about it"
Duo tensed; he didn't want to talk about it with his friends. He
knew Heero would sooner or later ask him to talk about it and he
had prepared himself to that talk, but he never thought he would
have to face the other four pilots. Suddenly he felt pleased that
Zechs was not there with them, he wasn't sure if the blonde had
seen and felt the images too.
"I don't think... that would be a good idea Heero"
Heero let Duo sit straight on the chair next to him and took his
hands in his.
"Duo, I don't think they understand what happened. They felt
it the same way I did, they deserve an explanation"
Duo sighed.
"I know, but I don't think I can face them"
Heero just embraced him and kissed him softly on the lips. Heero
waited till Duo calmed himself down and the finished his
breakfast. He took his wallet and left some money over the table,
and it was obvious it was a lot more than the food had actually
cost. When they were leaving the small cafe the waitress named
Helen approached them.
"I hope you had enjoyed your food and we would be glad to
have you again with us"
They both smiled and nodded. She smiled back and it was only then
that Duo noticed it. The resemblance was just too much to be only
coincidence.
"Sister Helen..."
His voice was very low but both Heero and Helen had heard him.
She looked at Heero and smiled sincerely at him.
"Take care of him. We will be watching over you two"
He nodded and then she walked back to the small shop, just to
disappear a second later.
"She... she was"
Duo looked at the spot where she had disappeared and a single
tear rolled down his cheek.
"Sister Helen..."
Heero would have been extremely shocked if it weren't for the
fact that a god lived inside his boyfriend. When the war depended
of them he felt that he had been given the most
important task of his life, but now that the ghost of the one Duo
considered his mother had entrusted her son to him he
felt that the task of the war was nothing in comparison. She
asked him to protect him.
I will... I swear to you that I will protect him even after
he had taken my life
He smiled at that thought. He was the boyfriend of none other
than the God of Death itself, his own lover would take his life
and he couldn't think of any better way to die.
"Heero... tell me you saw her too, tell me you saw how she
vanished just there in front of us... tell me I'm not dreaming"
Heero embraced him tightly and whispered in Duo's ear.
"As sure as you are Shinigami..."
"Thank you"
Heero kissed him once again, not caring that there was people
looking at them. They then walked towards the car and then left.
* * *
Wufei couldn't believe how well he had done with just one session
of exercises. Definitely Heero was a really good trainer; he
decided to go to the gym alone and keep practicing by himself
following the same routine they had been doing the day before.
He was now doing stretching exercises. He was on the floor over
one of the bunk mattress; he was sat with his legs spread as wide
as he could get them and was bending himself over. He now could
stand the position more time than before.
"Perfect, if I keep like this I'm sure I will be in perfect
shape in less than a week"
He didn't heard the door opening softly or saw Sally entering the
gym.
"You are aware that if Heero finds you doing this without
him here he'll be really mad with you?"
Wufei jumped at that and the sudden movement made him pay the
consequences. He felt how a muscle in his right inner tight got a
cramp.
"KISAMA!! Ahhh, holly shit it hurts!!"
Sally walked towards him and made him lay down.
"With that mouth you eat?"
"And used to do other things. Now since this is your fault
onna, could you be so kind to bring me something
for this fucking cramp?!"
Sally laughed and stood up to go for the ointment that was on the
emergency kit the gym had, just for this kind of things. She came
back with it and handed it to the now very upset Chinese pilot.
"Could you leave please? I won't take my sweatpants off with
you here"
Sally laughed even more.
"Ok, I'll leave. But I came here to tell you that Heero and
Duo are on their way back. So unless you want to be skinned alive
by a very upset Heero I suggest you to go back to your room"
"Ok, ok. You can leave now onna"
Sally shook her head and left the gym. Wufei took the sweatpants
off and started to massage his tight with the ointment. After a
while massaging his tight he felt the cramp going away. He slowly
stood up and walked to the door and exited the gym. He never saw
the pair of blue eyes looking at him from the other side of the
corridor.
Wufei has finally gotten to his room and was now taking a shower;
he really felt fine. He finished washing his hair and turned off
the water. There was a full-length mirror in the bathroom and he
stood in front of it with only the towel around his thin hips to
cover him. The sight the mirror was giving him wasn't good.
"I'm too thin... Treize and Zechs would never had let me get
this skinny"
He felt his heart bleed. He missed his lovers too much and he
knew he would never see them again. Treize was dead, by his own
hand and he was sure Zechs would never want to see him again. He
would never forgive himself for what he did, and he knew it was
just justice taking its price.
"I must remind alone after what I did. It's just only fair"
He shook his head and left the bathroom. He took his usual
clothes to dress himself that day. The white pants and blue tank
top. After that he finished drying his hair but decided to leave
it down this time. He sat on the bed and took his katana from
over the desk where he had left it before he went to the gym.
Wufei took a small cloth and started to clean the shining blade.
He saw the dragon carved on it and suddenly stopped cleaning it.
That dragon, once again, made him think of his dead lover.
"Treize..."
"Yes Dragon?"
* * *
A man was walking down the hall in front of him there was another
person, but this one was on a wheelchair. Both of them in silence
but very decided. Today they would be visiting someone very
special to them, but they were nervous too because they didn't
know how this person would react towards them.
"I'm scared"
"That would be the first"
"You know what I mean..."
"Well, you shouldn't. The only one here who should be scared
to death would be me. I'm the one who's going to be skinned alive
you know?"
The one on the wheelchair laughed.
"You know that won't happen"
"Well, I hope you're right then"
"I'm always right"
"Please, repeat that when we're there ok? I would really
enjoy to see the reaction to that comment"
They both laughed. The one pushing the wheelchair stopped in
front of a door and took a deep breath.
"Ready?"
"Always"
They entered the room silently; the one inside never saw them.
They saw how the person looked down at what was on the bed and
sighed, and then they heard the low voice.
"Treize..."
The man on the wheel chair smiled and answered.
"Yes Dragon?"
* * *
Quatre was in the kitchen once more. He had refused to let the
others cook Wufei's meals, and had said he would cook all the
meals for the Chinese pilot. No one could make him stop. Trowa
just sighed and stayed with him to help him cook and prepare
Wufei's tray. This time he was making a nice vegetables cream and
Trowa was cutting some apples to make the juice.
"Here, please tell me if I should add more salt"
Trowa took the spoon with the pale greenish content and tasted
the soup.
"I think it's ok, but you know I don't like salt that much.
You better wait for Duo; he's better at these things than I am"
Quatre smiled and was about to turn off the stove when he heard
the familiar voice of his hyperactive friend coming from the door.
"Do I smell Quatre's food?!"
Heero was right behind him and both, he and Trowa arched an
eyebrow.
"How can you always tell?"
"I have a gifted nose!"
Heero raised his other brow and looked at his boyfriend strangely.
"What?"
Duo winked at him.
"I can recognize Quatre's meals just smelling them"
He turned to look at the blonde.
"I don't know, but when you cook your food smell different"
He shrugged and went towards the stove and snatched the spoon
from Quatre's hand. He took some of the hot liquid on it and blew
over it a little to cool it down so he wouldn't burn his tongue
with it. Once he thought it was enough he tasted it.
"Ummm... I would add a little more of salt, but I think it's
ok for Wufei"
Quatre nodded and turned the stove off. He then took the pot and
left it at the back of the stove to prevent accidents. Heero sat
on the table and Trowa offered him and Duo some of the juice he
had been making. Heero looked at him and then asked.
"How was him?"
Quatre took seat in front of him and smiled.
"I think he's a lot better. He ate all his breakfast and
then started to do some meditation. I don't think he'll be
completely ok anytime soon but he's trying to cope. I can feel
the pain in his heart; he misses them just too much"
"Poor Fei... I hope Zechs shows up soon. I really wonder
where that man had been all this time"
That was the question they all had in their minds. No one knew
why Zechs didn't come back with them after the war. No one knew
where he was, and no one knew if he would accept Wufei after what
had happened. They stayed there in the kitchen, thinking about
what they could do to help their friend. It was then that they
heard it.
"NOOOO!"
Heero raised his head and noticed the other three had done the
same and now they were looking at each other with wide open eyes.
It was Duo the one who reacted.
"That was Wu-man!!"
Duo stood up like a flash and hurried to the stairs and then down
the hall towards Wufei's room. He was being followed very closely
by the other three pilots. When the four of them reached the room
they saw a very scared Wufei on the bed. They then saw who else
was there, Zechs was standing and in front of him was Treize on a
wheelchair.
"Dragon"
"No! Shut up! You can't be here! I killed you! I heard the
Tallgeese explode!"
Zechs pushed the chair towards the bed and Wufei backed away from
them.
"Wufei, please calm down"
But Wufei was just too shocked to react. Quatre approached to
Zechs and put his hand over the tall blonde's shoulder.
"I think is better if you leave now. Let us handle him and
then I'll call you. I'll suggest you to come alone and talk to
him. Remember that he's convinced that Treize was dead"
Zechs didn't want to leave, but he understood Quatre's reasoning
and taking the handles of Treize's chair he turned around and
headed towards the door. Treize held one of his hands and made
him stop.
"Please, try to make him understand..."
Duo turned around and looked at him.
"I'll try"
"Thank you"
With that they left the room and closed the door behind them.
Quatre sat down on one side of the bed and Duo went around it to
take seat at the other side and hence closer to Wufei than Quatre.
The Chinese pilot was trembling and was shaking his head.
"Fei-Fei?"
Wufei raised his head and looked at Duo.
"He can't be alive, can he? I killed him myself... why would
he wait so long before contacting me if was alive? Why didn't
Zechs try to get to me before? Why they made me think he was dead
and that Zechs hated me? Why?!"
Duo took Wufei's hand and pulled the trembling pilot towards
himself and embraced him.
"Shhh... It's ok pal. I don't have the answers to your
questions, but I'm sure there must be a reason. Let them explain..."
"Duo, you don't understand. They have all the right to leave
me after what I did, and I was starting to think I would be able
to live with it... I can't face them, not now... not ever"
Duo sighed and tightened his embrace.
"Man... I don't think they made you wait on purpose. There
must be a really good explanation for it... Wufei, you are not to
be blamed for what happened. If we must blame someone, those
should be the scientists. You asked them not to install the
system in your gundam but they did it anyway"
Wufei closed his eyes. He didn't know what to do. He didn't know
how to confront the two men he loved the most. No matter what
they said, he was the one who had destroyed the Tallgeese.
"Now, please lay dawn and take a rest. You really need to
sleep a little. We'll talk with them and once you have rested
enough we'll talk ok?"
Wufei was indeed tired. He just nodded and let the braided boy
help him into the bed. He closed his eyes and soon he was fast
asleep. They all looked at him sadly and then proceeded to leave
the room. Once outside Duo clenched his fist and turned to look
at his friends.
"I would prefer if you let me talk with them alone. It'll be
too awkward if the four of us are there"
Heero shook his head.
"I don't care if you don't want to Duo, but I'm coming with
you"
Duo sighed but nodded. He knew that Heero would come with him
anyway.
"Ok then. Q-man, please tell Sally to go and do a check up
to Wufei and tell her what happened"
Quatre nodded and left with Trowa. Duo turned in his heel and
walked down the hall to his and Heero's room. He took off his
shirt and changed it for a clean one. Then he tuned again and
left the room always followed by Heero.
"Duo, are you ok?"
"I will be when those two explain everything to me. And I
hope for their well being for that to be a Hell of a good
explanation"
"Duo, you know you can't hurt Zechs, don't you?"
Duo said nothing and kept walking. Heero just shook his head and
walked behind him. They went downstairs and as Duo expected both
men were in the living room obviously waiting for them. Duo sat
down on the armchair in front of the fireplace and looked at
Zechs who was seating in the other armchair with Treize on his
wheelchair next to him. Heero remained stood next to Duo.
"I hope you two have a really good explanation for this. Or
be sure I'll make of your lives a living Hell"
Zechs looked at Duo and knew the boy wasn't joking.
"And before you start let me tell you something. Wufei had
been blaming himself all this time about what happened, no matter
what we would tell him... He even tried to... He tried to kill
himself believing that was the only way to do justice. I won't
let you hurt him, in any way-"
Zechs and Treize opened his eyes wide, they had been told that
Wufei had been found and that he was fine, but they never knew he
had tried to kill himself. Zechs cut Duo in mid sentence.
"Duo, the last thing we would want to do is hurting him"
"Well, you did already. You should have thought better
before bringing him to see Wufei just like that! He had been
hurting all this time thinking Treize was dead! Didn't you think
that it would really scare the shit outta him to see the person
he was sure was dead, killed by his own hand!?"
Heero decided to calm down his lover before he launched himself
towards the two men.
"Duo, please calm down. I think they already got it"
Heero was caressing Duo's hair softly, but his eyes reminded
fixed over the two in front of him.
"I don't think you two should go near Wufei anytime soon.
He's pretty shocked and needs time to digest what just happened.
When he had calmed down again I think the best would be if just
you, Zechs, go and talk with him"
Duo had calmed down a little already and once again looked at
them,
"Now, please explain what was so fucking important that you
couldn't contact Wufei right away after the battle"
Zechs looked at Treize and this one nodded.
"When Wufei attacked the Tallgeese this one didn't explode
right away. Treize had the chance to get out of it in time, but
even when I could caught him the explosion still hit us. He fell
unconscious and I knew I had to take him as fast as I could back
to the Peacemillion... I was in my way there, with him in Epyon's
right hand when it happened. I don't know how to explain this,
but suddenly everything became black. The last thing I heard was
Treize's scream. Then I woke up to something that I don't know
what it was..."
Zechs fell silent when he felt Treize's hand over his.
"I woke up just in time to feel it too. I don't know if it
was a dream or reality, but I'm sure I felt it as if I had lived
it-"
Duo's eyes went wide open when he understood.
"Wait... I think I know what you two saw. You two saw
something that could have happened if-"
"If my sister had succeeded..."
"Yes"
They fell silent. Duo had lowered his head and started shaking.
Heero put his hands over Duo's shoulders massaging them trying to
relax Duo a little. After some minutes Duo spoke again.
"Deathscythe's zero system activated by itself and showed
you and the other guys something I dreamed. Or what I thought it
was a dream. What you saw could have been real if Heero hadn't
come in time to stop her"
Treize looked at him very shocked.
"So... that means... that it is true? You actually are
the God of Death?!"
"Yes... I know is something hard to believe, but it's true.
I wouldn't want anyone to know about it, but it was his will. He
wanted you to know and he found the way to do it. Even thou we're
two different beings we share the same body, when he needs to
show himself I fall sleep"
"I see... So if she had succeeded, then you would have
killed her so he wouldn't take over your body?"
"She would have died anyway, no matter if it was me or him
who killed her. In a way Heero saved her life once again. But
doesn't mean that she would be left without punishment"
"What do you mean?"
"Your sister had been punished for what she tried to do.
Shinigami had already taken care of that"
"What happened to her?"
Duo looked down once again. He didn't want to tell them and Heero
decided to change the subject.
"I think is better if we don't talk about that right now"
Zechs noticed the pained look on both boys' eyes.
"Ok, then..."
"Now, please keep explaining what happened"
Treize looked at them and continued.
"Well, after that it took some time for us to regain
consciousness. Zechs tried to contact Wufei but his line was dead.
He wanted to go back to Peacemillion, but the colony was closer
and I didn't have too much oxygen to keep breathing, so he took
me there"
"That doesn't explain why you didn't contacted Wufei
afterwards or us for that matter"
Zechs sighed and continued explaining.
"You see, when I finally reached the colony there was still
some chaos. Some of our Taurus were still fighting Tubarov's
troops and the colonists were in panic. My priority was to take
Treize to a hospital and after that go and help our troops. When
we finally could stop the troops I left to look for Tubarov. I
knew he was there and if I let him escape I knew he would try to
attack once again when he felt he was stronger"
Duo looked at Heero and he nodded, Zechs and Treize were
impressed at the way those two could talk without words. Heero
left to the kitchen to get something to drink for all of them and
just a minute later he came back with four glasses of the apple
juice Trowa had made before. He handed each one of them one and
then went back to his place next to Duo.
Zechs took some of his drink and kept talking after his throat
felt less dry.
"I finally found him, he was trying to escape but I stopped
him. He took out his gun and tried to shoot me; I couldn't stop
it and I couldn't let him kill me or escape. I had to kill him...
I ordered one of my men to take care of the body and I left to
the hospital I had taken Treize to. I had left two of my men to
stay with him but when I came back they told me he had to be
taken to the operation room... He had internal bleeding and they
needed to operate him as fast they could. I couldn't leave him
there; I was the only one who could actually protect him. I
didn't trust those doctors, so I went to where he was being
operated and stayed there with him..."
"What happened after that? You could have called after the
operation since I can take it actually went ok"
"Yes Duo, the operation went ok, but he was too weak and I
couldn't leave him alone. I did tried to communicate once again
with Wufei but it was useless. I know it was stupid from me not
to try contacting any of you, but I was too worried for Treize
and Wufei. I just didn't thought about it. Things just got worse
when after a week Treize fell into a coma. In that moment I just
forgot everything and all I wanted to do was to stay there with
him... Three days later I got a call from Master O, he told me
Wufei was with him, but he wouldn't tell me where he was. Just
that he was ok"
Zechs took another zip from his juice and kept talking.
"Treize came back from that coma two days after the call. I
told him everything and we decided to wait until his wounds were
better and then we would go back to earth. Once I was sure he was
well enough to defend himself in case someone tried to attack him
I took a ship towards earth to visit Relena. She was in some kind
of self-induced trance; it seems that she had created a world of
her own. I spent three days there until she came back to our
realm. She recognized me and constantly called for Heero... It
was really sad... The doctor told me that now that she had
reacted they could work with her and keep her here. I
went back to space and sent a mail to Noin"
Duo nodded.
"I know about that. She told us what you had said and your
orders pertaining our allowance to live here"
Zechs nodded and continued.
"I came back to stay with Treize and started to look for
Lady Une. I found out that she was working forming the Preventers
at L-1, same place we were at. I went to talk with her and asked
her if she knew more about Wufei. She told me that you had been
told about it too and that you were in your way to take him back
to earth. We never knew that he had tried to... God..."
Treize caressed Zechs hand softy and continued for him.
"Zechs called Sally and asked her to not tell anyone here
about our coming back. He was just following my wishes, I admit
it was a mistake of my part and that I should have let you warn
Wufei before hand... We came back the same day you did. We
actually were almost behind you; it seems you never noticed the
space ship behind yours..."
"We were kind of busy worrying about Wufei's health during
the fly back. All I had in my mind was to make the entrance to
the earth atmosphere as soft as I could. And after that my
worries were to make the softest landing I had ever done. The
last thing in my mind was to check if there was a ship following
us"
Duo's words were sharp and sarcastic.
"I understand your anger towards us, but please try to
understand us too. I'm just human and I can make mistakes, I
thought I was doing the right thing Duo"
"If you had seen him, if you had seen the bandages on his
wrists or the look of pure loathe towards himself, then you would
understand why I'm so fucking pissed off with you two, Zechs"
Heero looked at Treize and then asked.
"You said you two came back the same day as us. That was
yesterday morning; why didn't you came to talk with us then?"
"I was too tired, I had taken some soft sedatives for the
way back and didn't feel that good when we finally reached the
mansion. Sally took us to Zechs' room and once again Zechs asked
her to not say anything. I thought it would be better to wait
until the next day so we all would be rested"
Duo pinched the bridge of his nose and closed his eyes sighing.
"You two are aware that if Fei-Fei ever forgive you two for
your stupidity you still will have to pay for it, don't you? You
know how is he and that when he finally get over this he'll want
to have your skin"
Both men smiled, but Duo spoke before they could.
"I didn't mean it that way and you know it. You'll be lucky
if he even let you touch him anytime soon"
Their smile disappeared.
"Glad you understand that. Now I think you two should go
back to your room... Or wherever you want to go. We'll let you
know when Wufei fells better. But remember that only Zechs will
be allowed to talk with him first. I think it will be less
shocking for him"
"I understand. Please, tell him we love him..."
Duo nodded smiling softly.
"I will"
Duo and Heero left the living room and went upstairs to explain
the other two what had happened. Zechs stayed there, and Treize
looked at him worried.
"Don't worry, you'll see how everything will be alright"
"I hope so... I really hope so"
