Chapter 12

Heero was up before everyone else, making sure everything was packed and ready by the time the others awoke. Once they did, Wufei took his time in making breakfast, much to Heero's annoyance. But Wufei knew what he was doing. If he let Heero just go running into the castle without thinking, he would surely be over come. So they ate in silence. In fact they rode most of the day in silence. Anyone who approached Heero got snapped at. Finally at there lunch break Wufei approached Heero.

"We need to decide what we are going to do once we get to Oz." He said. Heero just nodded, which gave Trowa and Quatre the confidence to join Wufei.

"We know this is a trap to lure us to him." Quatre pointed out.

"Yes, and I'm going to give myself to him, if he agrees to let Duo go." Heero said.

"Two problems there Heero. One He may not have Duo, and two, you can't give yourself over to him, then he will have everything, your life, and your kingdom along with it's people." Trowa said.

"It doesn't matter, as long as Duo is safe."

"Again, he might not have Duo." Wufei pointed out.

"I feel it is necessary for Trieze to be assassinated." Trowa cut in.

"Assassinate Trieze." Heero said, it wasn't a question, more like a thought rolling off his tongue. He smiled at the thought.

"I think that would be a good idea." He said with a smile.

"If we can sneak into Oz un-noticed, then maybe we can take care of him without anyone being the wiser. We can then search the castle for Duo, if he's not there then we can search for Dark Cloud and get him." Quatre said. It was a long shot but he knew the thought of it would help.

"I want to be the one who kills Trieze." Heero said.

"You will." Wufei said squeezing Heero's arm in comfort.

"We will be reaching Oz, about this time tomorrow, if we keep up this pace. Heero I don't want you rushing into anything, think things through and make sure you do things right." Trowa said.

"I will, but if he hurts Duo I swear I won't take it easy on him." Heero said, a promise of death in his eyes and voice.

"And what about Solo?" Quatre asked.

"What about him. I will kill him as well, for doing what he did to Duo, both in the past, and what he is doing now." Heero said.

Solo groaned and opened one eyes looking around. He was chained to a wall with hundreds of thick chains.

"Where are we?" He asked seeing duo chained across the room.

"In their dungeon." He said quietly.

"I will kill them." Solo growled.

"Like you've tried to kill me?" Duo asked back. He wasn't facing his brother.

"Don't be like that." Solo said.

"Don't be like what?" Duo shoot back. "After 18 years of torture from you, after 18 years of you trying to kill me. I didn't kill mother, I've tried to tell you that before. Mother was taking me to the garden when the dragons attacked." Duo said.

"You lie, no one else say the dragons, no one. We found you with mothers blood on your hands." Solo said.

"It wasn't me Solo. I swear it. I only had blood because I was trying to close the wound in her stomach." Duo cried out finally. Solo looked away from him.

"But the red feathers-."

"Heero says that it's just a pigment that can skip a few generations and that you could have been the one born with them if you had gotten the right amount of genes or something. He says it's new science but that it is making sense of a lot of things." Duo said quietly.

"But our history books said it's a curse-."

"Wufei said that it was okay for them to think that at the time. They did not know about genes and the such. They were naive." There was a moment of silence before Solo started laughing. Duo eyed him. "What is so funny?" Duo asked.

"You called the elders naïve." Solo pointed out. Duo smiled a bit but the smile was whipped away as he heard the door to the dungeon being opened. Trieze came into view and unlocked the door to the cell the two demons were in. He went up to Solo and smiled.

"Say good bye to your brother." He said with a smirk. Solo jerked in his chains as Trieze stepped away from his and turned to Duo. Duo started struggling against the chains as Trieze approached him.

"Leave me alone." Duo growled. Trieze backhanded him, and unhooked him from the wall, Duo dropped to the ground in a heap. When he tried to get up, Trieze kicked him in the gut sending him to the ground.

"I'll kill you." Solo growled. Trieze just laughed and pulled Duo from the room. Duo tried to fight him, but every time he got a little footing, Trieze would jerk him roughly, forcing him to loose his footing.
