Author's Note: This chapter is short and a little crap. I suddenly realised while writing this exactly what I had done. I had gone and killed the main character... so, I had to think of a way to cure him and I came up with this and its an awful, awful idea but its not the method that matters, it's the results ^_^ I'm sorry, I promise. It will get better!
I just wanna say thank you to Shinigamigirl413 and Skylark for letting me know what they thought of this fic ^_^
Fairy Tales Book 3 - Sweet Sixteen
Part 3
"He won't wake up."
Odin felt his heart bleed for his son. The boy sounded so emotionless, his eyes were glazed over and he didn't seem aware of where he was.
"The M-Mages arrived this morning. They know of a cure. They maybe be able to save Duo, if it is not too late."
Heero didn't seem to register what was being said, nor did he seem to care about what Odin was telling him. It wasn't until Odin reached down to touch Duo, did Heero spring to life.
"What are you doing?" he snarled, suddenly protective of his lover.
"We need to get him inside, so the M-Mages can get the poison out of his body. This is the one chance he's got, Heero. Please?"
Slowly Heero nodded and he stood up, gathering Duo's limp body in his arms, and together him and Odin carried Duo up to his room.
* * *
G was waiting in Duo's room when they entered, he already had what he needed ready and without a word Heero placed Duo onto the bed.
"Is everything going to be ok?" Odin asked.
"We'll see. With luck I can remove the poison from the blood without endangering his life even more."
G cut open Duo's top and revealed the black wound. He placed a dark yellow leaf on the wound and pressed it there. He didn't keep it there for long before he removed it. He showed the leaf to Heero, it was now a black colour with burn marks in the shape of the wound.
"Do this, over and over until the leaf stays yellow. I'll be back later but I am needed elsewhere. You can keep an eye on Duo and send a servant to find me if you need help."
Heero gave a nod as G placed another leaf on Duo's wound, pressing down hard before he left. Heero took his place, removing the leaf to find the same thing that had happened to the first leaf had happened to that one.
"Will you be ok?" Odin asked and Heero nodded. Odin smiled and left.
He strolled up towards where Solo was in his office talking to the other Kings and Queens about what they were going to do with Treize. He apologised for being late.
"What are you smiling about?" Lord Winner asked.
"I was just with Heero and Duo. There's a silver ring, with three diamonds embedded in it, on Duo's finger."
Solo gave a sad smile. "Let's just hope he survives."
* * *
For four hours, Heero sat beside Duo, regularly changing the leaf. It had slowly changed from a black burnt leaf to an autumn brown colour and it was now remaining yellow, but Heero wasn't sure what to do and no one had been up to see him in a while.
The door opened and in walked Solo.
"How is he?" he asked in a harsh whisper.
"I think most of the poison has gone."
"He should wake up soon."
"How was the meeting?"
"We're decided that we have to fight Treize face to face. We'll launch the declaration in a few days once the terms have been drafted up."
"Is he behind the attack?"
"We are certain but the mages can't work out how it was possible. The demons would have been summoned by magic. Treize seems to have an undeniable advantage. We don't know his next moves."
"But..."
"We'll talk about it later," Solo watched as Heero took off a leaf and placed a new one. "Can I have a look at that leaf?"
Heero handed it over and Solo examined it.
"Perhaps we can try and wake him up now. The leaf has no poison in it so hopefully that means its been removed from his system."
Solo stood up and placed a hand to Duo's forehead. He whispered some words in a foreign tongue and then sat back down again.
"Now we just wait."
"King Solo, I need to ask you something."
"Yes?"
"Can I have your son's hand in marriage?"
Solo laughed. "Isn't it a bit late to ask me after you have asked him?"
"At least that way you can't refuse it."
Solo opened his mouth to argue but Heero had already moved.
"Duo!"
The braided boy smiled.
"Alright Heero."
TBC...
I'm going to say short but sweet? But really it was too short and utterly awful, I promise it will be made up to you, I have a big surprise coming up in Part 4 Chapter 2 ^^
