Chapter 19: Enclosed Battle.
There was no way out of the large thrown room, so when the creatures found that out, they started attacking Grim. It was the only way that they could survive. If they could kill the Grim then they could get away. But fighting the Grim was proving to be impossible.
Heero slipped through the crowd, blocking swords when he had to and slicing down others when they threatened him. He had to get to Duo, he had to see if he was okay. But it would seem as if the Grim was protecting Duo. Heero found and bony hand grab him and throw him across the room, where he slammed into the wall and slid to the floor a little more then dazed.
Trowa and Wufei helped Heero to his feet while Treize and Zechs kept the other creatures away.
"He's killing them all." Zechs said, watching as the Grim swiped his scythe and took out half the men in the room. "And quickly too, if we don't do something he will kill us, too." Zechs shot his lightning out to hit the Grim, but it appeared not to work. His eye twitched and he was about to try again.
"Stop!" This was from Quatre who was running towards them now, pushing people out of his way.
"What do you mean stop; he's going to kill us." Treize said.
"He doesn't know who we are. He's Grim right now." Quatre said. Treize nodded and added.
"Yeah, and he's going to kill us, that's what the Grim Reaper does. He kills."
"Yes, but that's also Duo. You can't just kill him. He's risking his life for us." Quatre pointed out. Heero looked up at the Grim, and pushed away from Trowa and Wufei. They stood in the back of the room, watching and thinking of how to stop this.
The Grim was busing himself with the creatures that were jumping at him. If the hood had not been in the way, one could see a smile on his face. He would catch a few in the air; throw them into others, many of them landing on others swords and spears. He would step on them like little bugs and squash them to death. He had only swung his scythe once, and didn't like the outcome. It was to fast. He was going to take his time with this. Death was finally free.
All too soon the Grim's enemy's numbers diminished into six. The blond he new he couldn't kill; he had set him free from his chains. But the other five, well they were fair game. He took a step towards them and was surprised that one of them, one with messy brown hair and piercing blue eyes, an elf he noted, stepped out in front of the group to protect them from the Grim. The Grim laughed. Did this little elf think he was going to stand up to the Grim? So the Grim decided to play, to scare him first.
He shouts his fist towards Heero, but stopped short by only an inch. The Grim caught his own breath, for the elf had not even flinched. The Grim picked up his scythe and swung it back.
"What are you going to do Duo?" Heero asked his voice steady. "Are you going to kill me?" The Grim froze.
"I am Grim, not Duo." He growled out. Heero ignored him.
"Are you going to kill me for taking away your freedom? For enslaving you?" Heero asked.
"I am GRIM!" He yelled back, sounding more like Duo then Grim. He swung his Scythe, but he completely missed Heero. Heero just stood there, only moving with the wind of the scythe, but even then it wasn't much.
"Are you whiling to kill someone who loves you Duo?" Heero asked. The Grim dropped his scythe and took a step back. Heero took a step forward.
"You don't know what you're talking about. Your love is in the wrong place, elf." This time it sounded more like Grim. "The boy doesn't love you." He growled out. Heero only ignored him.
"Why don't you kill me?" He taunted. The others could only watch in amazement as Heero was backing the giant creature known as Grim, a creature that controlled death, a god, into a corner. "What, are you afraid?" He screamed out. The Grim rushed forward toward Heero, who in turn didn't move. The Grim stopped short again, this time his hooded head a few inches away from Heero. Heero looked into the glowing red eyes, and noticed they were getting darker, changing into a purplish color.
To everyone's surprise Heero reached into the hood with both arms. They watched in amazement at Heero's arms disappeared into the hood and as he leaned forward with his head. It was the weirdest moment in their lives. To watch as half of Heero's body disappeared into the Grim's hood.
The five viewers watched frozen in their places as the Grim began to shrink. As the Grim shrank it became apparent the Heero was kissing him. Then hands reached up and they weren't the bony ones of Grim, there was flesh there, they pulled away the hood and….Duo was under that hood.
Quatre's eyes went to where Duo's body had been and found only a skeleton. Quatre had been right. The trail of blood leading from Duo's body to the Grim was Duo himself. Because Grim was Duo and Duo was Grim. Duo was Shinigami.
"Finally." Trowa breathed out. Quatre laughed and look at him.
'What does that mean?" He asked.
"It means I don't have to sit around watching Heero making a fool of himself." Trowa explained. "Now we can go home and this will all be done with."
"Not quite." They all turned to see Kyr standing there. "If you guys would please join me, I think I have some explaining to do." He said. Everyone sighed. More explaining. What the hell could be left?
