Tenshi Child, Dragon Child Part 2
Seeing a stranger stand in the door and lift his hand summoning a golden flower. Heero's eyes widened as he realized it was crafted entirely of flame. Instinctively his wings spread out, the second pair reappearing as they glowed and a shimmering warmth appeared protecting him and the sleeping boy. He didn't care if he was hurt he knew intimately almost every torturous pain created by man but he didn't want any harm to come to his new... friend? The fire hit the shield and shattered.
*****
Duo was so happy. A smile flitted across his face as he dreamed of his little Dragonling. So kawaii! For some reason the perfect name came to him in his sleep. Heero. He snuggled closer breathing in the scent of Heero that clung to his pillows when a piercing shriek awoke him.
Eyes wide he looked in time to see Quatre in battle stance a fire rose blooming on his palm. There was no way Duo could mistake the wings on the boy in front of him. Even if they were larger adorning a stranger. His Dragonling!
"No!" He shouted sitting up ready to defend his Heero. As the fire shattered against an invisible shield. The stranger turned to look at Duo. The memory of his face was forever burned on Duo's retina then in a flash he disappeared leaving Duo's Dragonling in his place.
*****
Quatre stood dumbfounded at the sight of a Tenshi growing another set of wings then turning into a Dragon.
"Lord Duo..." He whispered then flinched as Duo turned angry eyes to him.
"What the Hell did you think you were doing?" Little purple flames started dancing in the air above Duo's head as stray bits of his power were unleashed in his anger. He gently pulled the baby Dragon into his arms cooing at it, then turning back to Quatre death in his eyes.
"There... it... a Tenshi assassin was standing over you." Quatre stammered as he reminded Duo of a recent attempt on his father's life by a Tenshi assassin.
"That wasn't a freaking assassin, that was my little Hee-baby." Duo's voice changed from angry to loving on that last word.
The baby Dragon stared at Quatre coldly. Then it hissed a tiny blue flame shooting from its mouth.
"Awww Kawaii!" Murmured Duo.
Quatre shook his head. He had never seen Duo act so well happy, and loving.
"I'm sorry Lord Duo, but your presence is needed in the main hall."
"Why?"
"King Wufei has arrived."
"Fine I shall be there shortly."
Taking the curt words for the dismissal they were, Quatre left quickly.
*****
Settling the Dragon on the bed Duo got dressed quickly feeling vaguely self-conscious about being nude under his Dragonling's curious gaze now that he had seen Heero's other form. Kissing it on the top of its head he said softly, "Oi Heero, I have to go to this meeting thing. Protocol and all that junk. But I want you to stay here. I'll power bind the doors so no one else can enter. Okay?"
The Dragonling only stared at him with displeasure in its eyes, but Duo couldn't help it. It seemed that his Hee-baby was the product of a Tenshi and a Dragon. Still, he doubted the story J had told him. Zechs maybe, but Wufei? Duo couldn't imagine that uptight justice ranting Dragon with anyone, much less a Tenshi. But it did make sense in a way that he would choose a male mate. He seemed to dislike all females other then his cousin Meiran. Either way Duo wasn't ready to give up his little Dragonling. He knew Quatre wouldn't babble, but if anyone else found out about Heero... he couldn't even finish the thought.
Entering the great hall, Duo bowed to his father Asuka and His mother Persephone. It was hard to tell who he most resembled. Asuka had creamy pale skin and his long ebony hair fell past his waist in a tumble of silky locks. His eyes were a deep gold sparkling with anger as he argued with Wufei. Persephone smiled at her son, her violet eyes lighting up as she brushed back a fiery curl which had fallen from her elaborate hairdo.
"Asuka, our son has arrived." She announced and all eyes turned to Duo. As easily as breathing he donned his smugly sarcastic mask that he wore for the world.
*****
Funny Quatre's instincts had been right in a way. From her hiding place beneath the bed, a purple winged Tenshi assassin slipped out. Hilde looked down at the creature in the bed sleeping quietly. Eyes widened, what kind of chimera had that sneaky Akuma created? It was a Dragon yet it had Tenshi wings. Not one pair like a normal Tenshi but two beautiful ones. Instead of feeling the disgust the sight of a Dragon normally recalled in her, she smiled. Drawing symbols in the air, she saw it open its eyes sleepily then tense in fear. Pouting she whispered, "Don't worry little one. I don't know what that nasty Akuma did to you but King Zechs will fix it!?"
Heero couldn't even open his mouth to scream as Hilde opened a portal. Both figures wavered and disappeared leaving the room empty. Nothing to show they had ever been there but a glowing white feather too beautiful for words, which lay next to a deep purple one.
*****
As he approached the throne Duo felt a wave of fear and desperation wash over him. Disoriented he collapsed seeing a Tenshi with purple hair smiling at him. She was surrounded by his room. Suddenly he realized that he wasn't seeing through his eyes but Heero's, his face twisted in desperation as he cried, "Heero!"
Then ran back to his room. He didn't hear his parents cries of concern or see the shattered shock on Wufei's face at his cry.
*****
Heero... the name drew Wufei back into the distant past.
Warm and contented in his lover's embrace, their bodies curled protectively around the mound in the middle of the bedding where their egg lay sleeping. He smiled as Zechs reached across with a golden feathered wing to caress the edge of Wufei's green skinned one.
"Wufei?"
"Hmmm?"
"What shall we name our child?"
"Heero is it's a Dragon, Yuy if it's a Tenshi."
"What if it's both?"
"Heero Yuy. It is a strong name, one befitting our son."
"What if we have a daughter love?" Zech's eyes were dancing with laughter as he baited his chosen mate.
"I will not have a weak onna as our child. Whether it's a girl or boy it will be our son."
Soft laughter filled the room as carefully crawled over to Wufei's side of the bed to kiss his frown away.
"We'll see..."
As he pulled his thoughts back to the present Wufei told himself that Duo could have meant anyone. But still...
TBC...
Well how was part 2!
