Thy Heart Shall Bleed

.:ONE:.

I sighed in annoyance as once again Relena whined about the attention she wasn't getting from Heero. He wasn't paying any notice to her whatsoever, it was liberating and annoying at the same time.

"Oh Heero, you should rest with me," the spoiled one whined, "You must be tired."

"Actually, Relena, Heero was trained to beat any feeling of exhaustion," Quatre said, trying to be polite but emphasized on the first word. All Relena did was narrow her eyes at him in reply.

"He's right. You need to sleep," Heero said, not looking any where except in front.

Relena pouted a bit, "oh yes, I'm glad that you care for my well being. Goodnight, Heero." She walked out to the sleeping quarters at the back.

I stuck out my tongue and gagged, "god, she's a pain."

"Agreed. She shouldn't even be here," Wufei said shaking his head in annoyance.

"Did you see how she glared at you, Quat?" I said looking at him.

"She's stubborn. She only takes orders from Heero and glares at the rest" Quatre said pouting a bit. But it quickly disappeared when Trowa put an arm around him.

I stood up, looking at the others, "'I'm glad that you care for my well being'" I mocked out, "argh, she's so selfish."

"Enough, baka" came the reply of the stony one, still not looking anywhere but in front of him.

"Oh so it speaks now?" I said placing my hands on my hips, walking over, "You're not seriously going to defend her, are you? You have to admit, she practically worships you and only acknowledges that you're the only one here."

"She may act like she knows a lot, but she's just misunderstanding her own and others' intentions" Heero said emotionlessly.

"Whatever that means," I muttered. I leaned on his chair, looking forwards at the dark clouded night sky. Quatre, Trowa and Wufei were talking about something that I couldn't hear, so that left me with Heero and I… alone. I felt sad for asking but it had to be asked, "Heero. Do you like her? As in love her?"

"Why?"

Crap. I didn't know what to say, "Well… I…"

Finally Heero looked up with an arched eyebrow.

"Um… it's nothing" I sighed sadly, "don't worry."

I turned away but something stopped me. Heero's hand gripped my arm, "Duo, I-"

Before he could finish his sentence, the monitors beeped. Heero let me go immediately and typed something on the side.

"What is it?" Wufei asked standing up.

"Don't worry. It's just saying that it will take 24 hours left to arrive at our location," Heero said resting his hands on the controller once again.

I waited for a few minutes to see if Heero would continue to say whatever he wanted to say but nothing happened. Heero's just doing what he always does, ignore me. I sighed, "I'm going to bed."

"Goodnight, Duo" Quatre said, waving and giving me a sympathy look.

Lucky I've already had my shift so I can go to bed. Yay. I moved to the sleeping quarters and went to the two-beder room. The spoilt brat, Relena, had her own room with one bed. I bet she was hoping Heero would share her bed. Ha, like that's going to happen. I sighed and rested my sweet head against the nice comforting pillow. Ah.. sweet dreaming…

…

Duet…

Duet…

I've been waiting for you…

I miss you so much…

I'll never let you go again…

Never…

I love you…

We'll be together again…

I swear…

…

"Duo… Duo!" a voice was unfortunately heard taking the comforting dream away.

I groggily opened my tired eyes, "hm?"

"You've got to get up. It's your turn to shift," Quatre said as a matter of factly, "plus, you were moaning in pain in your sleep."

"What time is it?" I asked sitting up.

"It's 9 am. See? I let you have your moments of sleep a little longer," Quatre said smirking, "until Heero demanded that you should get up."

I felt my cheeks turn a little pink. Heero wanted me to get up? I would've thought that he wouldn't notice.

"Is the Queen bitch up?" I asked pouting.

"Of course she is. Wouldn't want to miss her daily TV show staring at the Ice Prince now, would she?" Quatre said rolling his eyes.

"Crap" I groaned out.

"What were you dreaming about that made you so loud?" Quatre asked with an arched eyebrow.

"I… I don't remember really. It was weird though" I said rubbing my head, "was I that loud?"

"Well, loud enough for Heero to grunt out, 'wake the baka up'" he said grinned, mocking Heero's voice.

"Aww, double crap" I groaned again. Great, Heero heard me. That's embarrassing.

"Don't worry. Relena got a little annoyed that Heero noticed that and not anything from her," Quatre said winking.

Yay, I got Relena pissed. I totally deserve an award. Now that's a good thing you want to hear when you get up in the morning.

"Now I want to get up and see that" I said getting up completely and stretched.

I didn't change my clothing last night so I'm still wearing my casual clothes- a black shirt with nicely tight blue jeans. All of us brought a bag of clothes just in case the mission might be longer. I brought all my half slutty clothes and some actually nice ones just in case it wouldn't work out as I'd liked it to and by that I mean Heero and I. I wont let Relena have him just like that without a fight. Even though he 'seems' to like her.

I moved to the cockpit area and sat in my usual place with a brush. Relena had her arms around Heero's shoulders behind his chair and Heero didn't look all that comfortable.

"Jeez, Relena, let Heero breathe" I said casually as I started to brush my hair, getting out the messy morning ness and putting it in a ponytail.

Relena glared at me but let him go. She pouted her way to the back seats. Heero gave me a tiny smile that made me blush a tiny bit. Yay, I got a smile, even if it was a small one.

"Are we there yet?" I said yawning a bit.

"Soon," Heero said back to his usual one word act.

"And how soon is that?" I asked teasing a little.

"It's pretty soon" Wufei said, as Heero looked to not respond.

"God, why can't you people just tell me the time soon?" I sighed out.

"Two hours" Heero spoke.

"That's so far away. What am I suppose to do for two hours?"

"Something productive" Wufei said.

"Ok then… I spy with my pretty eyes, something beginning with… B" I grinned out.

"Blue?" Quatre asked coming over to my side. We love to play this game.

"Nope"

"Butt?"

"Nope"

Trowa came over as well, "Bitch?" he asked quietly.

Quatre and I laughed at that answer. I almost forgot about Relena. It felt like it was just us five.

"No, but good one" I grinned as I slouched in my chair.

"hmmm, I can't think of anything else…" Quatre said pouting.

"Birds" Heero said suddenly but not looking at us. Birds flew past the windows below us.

"Yeah" I nodded.

Quatre sighed out, "Well that was obvious."

"I spy with my pretty eyes…"

2 hours later

The game went well. Relena actually joined in because of the lack of attention. Her brain actually worked sometimes. But Heero answered only when no one else knew it.

"We're there" Heero stated out of nowhere.

"Oh thank god" Wufei quietly sighed out in relief. I stuck my tongue out.

"Hold on tight. We're landing" Heero commanded.

Relena did it automatically, of course. I held onto my own seat. The landing was rough and bumpy. Relena was shrieking, well I guess I can't blame her even though I want to disagree. It was so rough that I had to close my eyes tightly. My knuckles were white by my grip on the seat. My teeth were grinding and chattering with every bump. It seemed like a while before everything just stopped in a huff. Smoke surrounded the aircraft. I guess we're there.

"Is everyone ok?" Quatre asked worriedly.

"Yeah. I'm good, but I've been better" I said sighing.

"Trowa?"

"Yes. I'm alright."

"Wufei?"

"Here. I'm ok"

"Relena?… Heero?"

"Hn" I heard Heero state.

"Relena?" Quatre asked again.

"Relena!" Heero shouted a bit.

"I'm alright, Heero" she said, calling back as she came over.

That brat! She really does answer to Heero, even though she's a pain, I kind of still worry for her sake. Arh, I know, sickens me too.

"That was some landing!" I blurted out. I could still feel the shaking.

"Why did the aircraft land like that?" Quatre asked softly.

"It's the humid weather. It somehow tipped the engines" Heero said looking around.

"Is that even possible?" Wufei's eyes were wide.

"Well, there really must be something wrong with this place" I said glancing around.

The 'place' was Silent Hill as it said on the sign far off. A few feet away I could see a river. And to our left was a road between the short wood fences. It was easy to go over them. The grass looked to be a very weak green and the sky's color seemed to be light gray as far as I can see.

"Do we know exactly where we are?" Trowa asked breaking the silence.

"I have the map but I'm not quite sure which road we're on" Heero grumbled out.

"I'm sure you'll find out, Heero" Relena said grabbing his arm.

My god, she's pathetic.

I walked ahead on the side of the road.

"Where are you going, Duo?" Quatre shouted out.

"'m going to find what road we're on" I shouted back, weighing my black backpack on one shoulder. It wasn't that heavy since it was just clothes inside.

"Heero, is Duo always this stupid?" Relena purposely shouted out.

I growled a bit. Bitch! I walked faster. I heard Heero not responding.

"Wait! Heero, wait for me!" Relena whined out.

I'm guessing Heero's coming too. And if Heero and I are going, then so will the others.

15 minutes later

After a lot of walking, I sighed in relief as a street sign showed up. It said that we were on Nathan Avenue.

"There, you see? We're on Nathan Avenue" I proudly grinned, "we should know where we are now right?"

The others hurried up to see. Heero nodded and opened the map, "if this is right, there would be a Historical Society building up ahead."

"Let's go check it out then!" I grinned at him.

A voice screamed out, "wait! Heero, wait for me!"

Argh, Relena was lagging behind.

Through painful distance, thanks to Relena with her squawking we were at the front of the Silent Hill Historical Society. It seemed big like a gothic castle, with a big red old-aged door for the entrance.

"It looks kind of scary" Relena squeaked.

I silently agreed with her. Everything was quiet. I heard no birds, nor seen any animals or anyone.

"We might as well go in. There could be people in there that we can talk to" Trowa said reasonably.

"Well, let's go then" I said trying to sound normal covering the nervousness.

"Shouldn't we knock first?" Relena bragged.

"As if that would work! It's a big door!" I said glaring at her.

"Well, you could at least try!" she shouted back. I sighed annoyingly but did it. God, I hoped she was wrong. I knocked two times. We waited… and waited…

"See?" I said throwing a look at her. She just screwed up her face with a glance away.

I grinned and pushed the door, but it didn't budge. Quatre and Wufei saw my predicament and helped me push. It made a long creak as it was pushed.

…

"Is this like a museum?" Relena asked blinking innocently.

"It's a Historical Society. Of course it is" Wufei said through his teeth.

"Where is everyone then?" I asked looking around, well, as best as I could. It was darkly glum, if you squinted your eyes you would see some shapes. Quatre moved to what looked like a reception desk. He rang the golden bell at the edge of the desk. The soft chiming of the bell rang twice, the sound seemed to travel in every corner of the room. No footsteps were heard against the matted ground. Instead we could hear a distant bell, a deep bell. It seemed to go forever. To put it bluntly, it sounded more like a ship's bell or a whale pretty much. Then there was silence for a long while, and then it came again with the same distance between it.

"What is that?" Relena asked fearfully.

"Sounds like a boat or something" I said looking at the others, well, tried to. I didn't want to say Whale, 'cause that just sounds embarrassingly weird.

"Seems about right. We are near a lake" Trowa shrugged.

"That means people must be there. It's obvious no one's here. So we should go around the building" Relena, surprisingly, spoke. Well she isn't a politician for nothing.

"No good. The gates are blocking it, we have to go through" Trowa said.

"Well, let's go then" I said. Why do I always have to say that? It just comes out.

"We need to find the lights first" Quatre said.

Soon all of us split up a bit to feel for the lights against the walls, "didn't we bring torches or a lighter?"

"I think I have a match" Heero said, "if we searched in our bags it will waste too much time tidying it up again."

I'm guessing the lighter was in his pockets. What it's doing there I don't know. I haven't seen him smoke before.

I moved around again, just to feel for anything. I realized that I was in another room soon after. I suddenly felt carpeting under my feet. Maybe the lights were in here. I felt around, my fingers felt something… like a big frame from a painting.

"Found the lights!" I heard Heero say.

And as soon as the lights were on, I found a really horrific painting in front of my face. As soon as my eyes landed on the creature on the right. I felt my heart panic for some reason. My breathe quickened, I couldn't get any air.

"Duo? What's wrong?" I heard Quatre ask besides me.

He too, looked at the painting. There, in the painting, was a creature on the right, it cooked kind of human. Its head was just a big red triangle thing, like it's covering the head. The creature was holding a mighty black knife that looked quite heavy and the creature had no genitals at all, it had a pasty colored skin. It had an eerie feeling. The background was black and it looked like a bodies being hung. Below the painting, was written 'Misty day. Remains of the Judgment.' Scratched below the little golden platform was written, 'Pyramid Head' in the tacky wallpaper. I don't know why I'm panicking but I felt like I was going to black out at any moment. Visions with white light exploded in my head, over and over. I couldn't see the pictures nor register it in my mind. As soon as I realized it, I fainted.

"Duo!"

Done with this chapter. Ha, a cliff-hanger huh? Creepy, I hate cliffhangers and yet I did one.. take that! Lol
