Created by Love, Blood and Death Part 13
Duo's POV
"You're back?"
I turn around quickly. I had been staring at the chair. Guess I fell asleep. When I look to see who spoke, my mouth goes dry. There standing in the doorway to the bedroom is Heero. I mean Kei. And man is he gorgeous. All he's wearing is cut off pants. I smirk to myself, looks like he's always had a thing for shorts. He raises an eyebrow.
"You said I could come back." I swear he blushes.
"You could have knocked." Kei crosses his arms and leans in the doorway.
I grin at him. "What fun would that be?"
He walks out into the living room. He stares at me for a few seconds. Brave soul to stare death in the eye. And what beautiful eyes he has. He walks to the kitchen.
"Are you hungry?"
"I told you I don't need to eat." I lean on the counter in the kitchen.
"Hn maybe that's why you're so skinny."
My mouth drops open at that. "Nani?"
"You're skinny."
"How can you tell?" I look down at myself. I'm wearing lose robes. Nothing to indicate how skinny I may or may not be.
"Why do you wear so many robes?" Kei asks me. It's then that I realize how close he is. He's leaning on the counter next to me, very close to me. If I didn't know better I'd think he was flirting. Of course maybe he is.
"You know you're playing with death?" I raise an eyebrow.
"I only asked a question." Kei moves a little closer.
I narrow my eyes. What is he thinking? "I wear so many robes because I dislike togas."
Kei chuckles. "I see. Why not wear something else?"
"Why do you care?"
"Who said I did? I'm just curious. They look like a lot."
"Why don't I just take off the over robe?" I stand up and take off the over robe. The amazing thing happened. The other clothes I was wearing changed, all on their own. They changed into loose black pants and a loose long sleeve black shirt.
Kei's eyes widen at the sight. "How?"
"I'm a god; I can do lots of things."
Kei stands in front of me, amazement in his eyes. His hand comes up and fingers the fabric. "Amazing." He whispers, his eyes are dancing as he looks over my clothes.
I watch him with a smile on my face. He seems innocent to me. His hands come up to my shoulders and then he slides them down my arms. I bring my hand up and cup his cheek. He looks up at me.
"So are you. You really shouldn't touch death willingly, unless..."
Kei steps closer to me. "Unless what?"
Okay, let me just say this is weird. Kei's getting too close. It's like he either wants to die or he's very lonely. Heero isn't this forward. I look him in the eyes. I can see his soul. And let me tell you that piece of information doesn't help me. I see how lonely he is. How sad he is. And he's scared. Oh geez he's scared he'll be alone forever. Never to be touched by another.
"You don't know what you're doing, Kei."
He steps closer still. "Tell me."
"Kei... if... if we continue you may regret it."
"Continue what? Are you Duo or are you Shinigami?"
Interesting question, as Duo I'm a lot like he is. I'm tangible to a mortal. As Shinigami, I'm a god not to be touched by a mortal. "I'm both."
"What happens if we continue, Shinigami? Or do you prefer, Duo?" Damn his voice is sexy. Our lips are but inches apart. I lean in and....
I feel something hit me. I open my eyes and see Shinii standing over me with a pillow in her hands. Damn it why'd she have to wake me then? She's standing there giggling at me, bouncing on her feet.
"Takes after you, doesn't she?" I look over and see Wufei smirking.
Shinii turns to him and sticks her tongue out. "You're just jealous."
"You pick the worst times to wake me, Shinii." I sit up and start to get out of bed.
"Where are you going?" Wufei stands.
"To the bathroom. I have to go, thank you very much. Not to mention I want a shower." I head into the tiny bathroom not even giving Wufei a chance to answer.
Shinii's POV
I look at where my master went and then back at Wufei. "Is he okay?"
Wufei smirks and looks away from the door. "I think you woke him at the wrong time."
I don't understand him, but I decide not to question farther. I sit the pillow back on Heero's bed. I wonder when they'll remember? I can already see it in my master's eyes. He hasn't told me some of his dreams. I think he's dreaming of his love. I look out the window. I feel something calling.
"What is it? What do you feel?" Wufei stands behind me.
"Something's calling me." I close my eyes to get a better feel.
"A death?"
"Hn. I think I'll go see." I turn to him. "Can you watch him?"
"Hai. Shinii, don't you think it would better to leave it alone?"
I narrow my eyes. "No. My mission is to make sure you are all kept safe." With that said I leave. I follow the feeling. On the outskirts of the campus I see what's calling me. Or more like whom.
"Ah, young death, you heard my call." I walk up to Present slowly.
"Why are you here?" I look around for the others.
"My sisters do not accompany me."
"I thought the Fates were always together." I stare at her.
"True, but the past cannot be in the future and the future cannot be in the present."
I sigh; I really hate riddles. "Why did you call?"
Present smiles at me. "I come with a warning from Future. She says the enemy is coming."
"Do you know when?"
Present kneels down in front of me and puts her hands on my shoulders. "With Future, young death, it could be now. Do not fear, all shall be fine." Present then kisses my forehead. "Be careful my niece." She then disappears.
I turn to head back to my master, in a daze. So much in a daze that I run into someone. I look up horrified. I can't believe I forgot to hide myself. I never forget that.
"Are you alright?" I look up and see Val, his hand on my shoulder. Behind him is Nanashi. "Hmm are you okay, little girl?"
"Um... yes Val... I mean hai. I'm okay."
He raises an eyebrow. "You know, you're the second person to refer to me as Val."
I blink. "Um I need to go now."
"Where do you belong, we can walk you back." Nanashi... I mean Trowa says.
"No! No thank you I can go by myself." I try to get out of Val... I mean Quatre's grasp.
"It's much too dangerous for a little girl to walk by herself. Let us help."
Oh now that makes me mad. I am not a little girl. I am the First Appointed Angel of Death. I am Shinii Tenshi. My master is Shinigami the god of death. No mortal can harm me. I highly doubt an immortal could harm me either. I do NOT need some one to walk me around.
I narrow my eyes and look straight at them both. "I can do it myself." I pull my arm free and walk off. Once around a tree where they couldn't see me I disappear from their sight.
I enter my master's room. Heero is typing at his desk and my master lays on his bed. I don't know if he knows I'm here. He keeps looking over at Heero.
"Hey, Heero do you believe in reincarnation?" My master asks.
Heero stops typing for a split second. "Nani?"
"You heard me."
"Why do you want to know?"
"It's just a question. It's amazing what people think of when they're stuck in bed."
"I never thought about it. Do you?"
"Huh oh well I never use to. But I think I do now."
"What changed your mind?"
My master grins. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
Heero turns to look at him. "You've been saying that a lot lately."
"I think he's catching on, master." I stand next to his bed. My master smiles at me.
"Heero, I think I'll go to classes tomorrow."
"Nani?"
"I'm sick of being in bed. Besides I feel much better."
"Hn." Heero turns back to his typing. I wonder why he's always on it.
Duo's POV
Dreaming again, thank god. Heh I guess I can't say that any more. I look around and I'm in Kei's house. But I don't see Kei. I look closer at the things in the house. He has lots of books.
I pick up a pad of some sort and look at it. Opening it I see it's a drawing pad. Kei apparently like to sketch. I flip through the pad and the more I see the more I realize that he's an artist. The pictures on the pages aren't just sketches, some are full drawings. Some have words and poems written on the pages too.
I wonder if Heero retained any of this talent. Can he draw like Kei could? Something to look into when I wake up. I pick up another pad and look through it. Lots of landscapes and wildlife. Wonder if he does people?
"See anything you like?" I turn around and see Kei standing at the front door.
"You're very talented." I look back at the pad.
"You forgot to knock again." Kei walks up next to me. I can feel body heat coming from him. "And I'm not that talented." He reaches out and take the pad away. His fingers brushing mine in the process.
"You sell yourself short, Kei."
He smiles sadly. "I doubt that. Mortal aren't as appreciative as you." He puts the sketchpad down. "Why'd you come back?"
"You said I could."
"Yes but why? Am I something to play with?"
I brush his cheek with the back of my fingers. "I don't like to play with mortals."
He looks up into my eyes. He's so sad. "Why did you leave yesterday?"
Shinii woke me up. Well I couldn't say that but I was thinking it. I scan the memory. Court called me. "The immortal court called me. I had to go."
"Really?"
"No." His face looks sadder. "I don't care what the court wants. I don't care if they think they can control me. They can't. I'm not like them."
"I don't understand." Kei steps closer, we are but mere inches from each other.
"I can't explain." I take his chin in my fingers and tilt his head up. I lean forward and brush my lips across his. "You play with death, mortal. And death has seen you and wants you."
"Will you take my soul?" Kei brushes his lips across mine. It's weird how these soft almost nonexistent kisses feel so wonderful.
"Iie, I want to keep you, Kei. If I took your soul then I couldn't have you."
Kei lays his head on my shoulder. He takes a shuddering breath.
"You have my interest. I'm drawn to you, a mortal. I have even asked my sisters, the Fates, about you. What they told me makes me want you more."
"I'm so..."
"I know. You will be safe with me. From now on, your soul will be safe. I will make you happy. You'll never have to worry again."
Kei raises his head and looks at me. "You make a lot of promises, Shinigami."
"Hai, I do, but I'm the most powerful god there is." I lean in and kiss him again.
He returns the kiss. I run my tongue along his lower lip and he opens his mouth. I plunge my tongue into his mouth. My tongue runs along every part of the inside of his mouth. His sweet, wonderful mouth. Finally his tongue finds mine and we spare. I manage to coax him into my mouth. He explores and then we spare again. Gods, he tastes so good. I never want to stop.
