-1Chapter 9
They made it to Fang with no problems, the months passed by quickly, and they had not seen hair nor hide of Relena or her men. "Heero can I talk with you alone for a minute." Trowa said, as they dismounted.
Heero nodded and fallowed the lion changeling. Duo just shook his head and went with Wufei to find an inn. Trowa turned to Heero. "He doesn't know he's a demon?" He asked straight out.
"He won't talk to me about it" Heero crossed his arms over his chest.
"Do you know why he thinks he's an elf, or anything like along those lines. I mean he smells like both." Trowa said.
"He's from an elf clan. A few were taken by Relena and when others broke them out they left him there..." Heero answered.
"That's harsh, even for a demon...but I think you should be cautious with him, if you two weren't mates I'd tell you to leave him behind." Trowa said seriously. Heero growled, he did not like that at all. This lion was pushing it! "Look, demons are bad luck, they cause destruction where ever they go and they don't care about other peoples well being." Trowa said, after Heero had growled at him.
"I have caused more damage then Duo has." He growled again.
"That might have to do with the fact that he's part elf, and you have no control of yourself." Trowa said, unsure of why Heero was getting upset. "Look, all I'm saying is that he's your responsibility so keep an eye on him. If he starts anything I will take actions into my own hands." Trowa warned and walked away. Heero left to walk the town, the lion had put him in a bad mood.
Duo walked out from the inn they were going to stay at when Trowa returned but Heero didn't. He would find his tiger, he seemed to have a knack for it, as Wufei had said.
------------------------
Heero walked not looking where he was going. When he looked up he found himself in a market. He hated large gatherings of people so he turned down an alley to get away from them.
Duo soon found himself in the market and got side tracked with the stuff he found. He still looked for Heero but also enjoyed the stores around him, careful not to talk with anyone, or make eye contact.
Heero stopped, he could smell Duo. He turned around and watched his love from the shadows of the alley.
Duo, being his normal self, wasn't watching where he was going and tripped over a rock, landing on his hands and knees. A small child started to laugh and so did Duo. Running his hands threw his hair. "Oops." He said. The small child helped him up. "You're funny mister." She said before laughing and running off. Duo smiled and bit and shook his head. He continued his search for Heero.
Heero chuckled at what he saw. Duo could be so cute.
Duo sighed and his shoulders dropped. He put his hands on his waist and turned in a complete circle. Great, now he was lost.
"Lost kitten?" Heero leaned against the building with his arms crossed. His blue eyes glowing in the shadows. Duo spun around, and smiled. Heero looked so...well sexy standing there.
"I was looking for you." Duo said walking towards him. The lanterns where being turned on for the night, and Duo didn't even notice his shadow behind him, which strangely enough, looked to have two small bat wings.
"Its getting late" Heero took his hand and led him back to the inn.
"But the sun just went down an hour ago." Duo said, seeing that there was still a small amount of light brimming the horizon.
"Would you like to walk with me for a bit" Heero smiled.
"How could I ever refuse." Duo said back wrapping his arm in Heero's. They passed the Inn and kept walking turning down random streets not caring were they went. Heero could find their way back.
--------------------
"I've never seen Duo act out in any wrong way, Trowa don't let it bug you so much. You should be more worried about the men you saw coming into town as we left Oz." Wufei said.
-------------------------
As it got darker out less and less people were seen on the streets. Heero realized something. He really did enjoy the time he spent with Duo. They held hands as they walked threw the darkness.
"Heero?" Duo asked.
"Yes." Heero looked over at Duo as they walked.
"My mother...she was a wood elf...my father was...demon...everyone in the clan said that he had raped her, but Father Maxwell said that it was a lie. That my mother had fallen in love with him and him with her. His clan didn't like the union and killed him. When they went after her she gave me up and fled, so that they wouldn't find me. Maxwell told me that they didn't know about me, and that my father didn't know about me...But please I was raised with elves, I am an elf." Duo said, looking up at Heero. "I don't want to be known as a demon."
"Duo you could be a pure demon and I would still love you. I don't see you as Demon or Elf. I see you as Duo." Heero said pulling him into a hug.
Duo smiled and hugged him back. "I...I love you Heero." Duo said.
"Come, lets go back to the Inn." He said before he kissed Duo.
Duo kissed Heero back, and went with him back to the Inn. "Trowa doesn't seem to like me that much." he said with a knowing smile.
"He must have a past with demons. That can make someone untrusting." Heero held the door open for Duo.
"Yeah I guess...hi Trowa...WUFEI!" Duo said and threw himself at Wufei. "Guess what me and Heero are going to go do?" Duo said playfully, Wufei fell to the ground, completely shocked by what had just happened then realized what Duo had said.
"Urge!, I don't want to KNOW!!" Wufei said, trying to push Duo off him.
"I think he likes messing with you Wufei. I bet he gives you a nickname soon." Heero said stepping over them.
"Oh like Woofi, or Wu-man, or Wu-bear, or-." Wufei pushed Duo off him and dusted himself off.
"I don't want a nickname." He said.
"But you're my friend." Duo said, holding onto Wufei's legs as he stated to walk away.
"What is with you?" Wufei asked as he fell back to the ground. Duo sat up to think. "Hmm, I don't know I'm just really happy. I got something off my shoulders." He said with a smile. Heero nodded and started to walk for their room.
"Heero, are you going to eat dinner?" Duo asked, standing up to go after Heero passing in and bounding up the stairs. Trowa watched them with a small smile. Heero nodded again and turned to fallow Duo.
