Created by Love, Blood and Death Part 18
Shinii's POV
Daddy no, don't be gone. You can't be gone; you're the God of Death. You can't kill death. That's what I was always told. But now my master, my daddy lies limp in the arms of his love. I... I don't know what to do. I don't know what's going to happen. I failed, and I feel so lost.
"We have to get him somewhere safe." Wufei? Why does Wufei want to move him?
"Is... is he still alive?" Val sounds so sad.
"More than likely."
"How... how can you be so sure, uncle?" I ask in but a whisper. Crying has left my voice raspy.
I feel hands placed on my shoulders. "Shinii, did you not see what I did? I threw a fireball; most of my power is back. That means Shinigami's power has returned as well. He may be unconscious, but I doubt he's dead." I stare at him in a daze. "Heero can you carry Shinii?" Carry me?
"I'll carry Duo." Heero says, he sounds somewhat sad.
"No, I can carry him. And don't glare at me. Shinii will not harm you. Please Heero, if one of us carries her, she may harm us. She's in shock; I don't know what she'll do if she comes out of it. It's safer to have you carry her. Please Heero."
"Hn." I feel some one lift me, must be Heero. I wrap my arms around his neck and try snuggle closer. At first he stiffens and after a few seconds relaxes a bit.
We don't head to daddy's room. We're going the opposite way. We get into something and I realize Nanashi is messing with it. I'm in the back with Hee.... Kei? And Wufei and daddy. Val and Nanashi are in the front. I feel so confused. Why don't thing make sense. Is that what Wufei meant by shock?
"Papa, is daddy going to be all right?" I ask. No one answers me though. "Papa?"
"Shinii," Wufei whispers, "close your eyes. Your daddy will be fine."
"Death needs no sleep, dragon. Right papa?" I look up into Kei's eyes, he looks confused. I lay my head on his shoulder and close my eye's and hum.
"Why does she call me, papa?" I hear him asks. Wonder if he thinks I'm asleep.
"She's in shock. I'm willing to bet that she's forgotten all of your names from now. She may be seeing the past." Uncle says to him. "Trowa, where are you taking us?"
"I have a house in another city." I think that was Val.
Val has houses? Demons, you never know what they're going to do next. "Um Wufei are you going to explain what just happened?"
"I don't think I can. The court may have me terminated."
"Court?"
"Let it go for now, Quatre. We need to get Duo someplace safe so he can rest. Then maybe when he awakens, we can answer some question."
Duo's POV
"Kei, it'll be a girl. Is that okay with you?"
"Oh yes, as long as it's a part of you."
"She's a part of you too. She has been created by our love and blood."
"A life created by death himself. Who would have thought such a thing could be possible?"
"My sisters."
"Yes, well, they cheat."
"So true, love, so true."
I open my eyes and look around. Since when do I sleep? Well, sleep alone anyways. I turn my head and see lying on a bed my sweet daughter. And since when does she sleep? Never used to do that unless we made her. Oh well, maybe Kei made her. I look around a little more and see Val sitting in a chair. Odd this doesn't look like Kei's house or the immortal realm.
Val looks up and smiles. Only demon that smiles like an angle. "You're awake. How are you feeling? Oh wait, I should get the guys. I'll be right back." With that Val hurries out the room. The guys? Odd saying. Wonder where Kei is.
The door opens and in walks Nanashi and Val, and a boy I've never seen... oh wait he reminds me of the dragon. Yes that's who it is. The dragon's human form. A nice form at that. And finally Kei walks in. He's beautiful. I smile at him. He glares back at me. His cobalt eyes boring into me. When did he start to glare?
"Duo, how are you feeling?" Val asks.
I narrow my eyes, never has Val ever called me, Duo. It is always Shinigami. "What is going on? Where am I and why is Shinii sleeping?"
"Shinigami, forgive us but much has happened." The dragon speaks. I notice all head turn to him in shock and disbelief at what he as just said.
"I think perhaps now would be a good time for answers, Wufei." Val says.
"Wufei? You took a name? How long have I been out of it?" I sit up and look at everyone. They wear strange clothes, as do I.
"Years, Shinigami, you were punished by the court. Your memory was wiped as was your followers."
"Punished? Me?"
"Yes you!"
I think I'm getting my first headache. I look up at Kei and smile again. "Kei."
"He doesn't remember, Shinigami." I look at Wufei and blink. Kei doesn't remember me? How can that be? Our love is or was so strong.
"Wufei please explain." Val asks.
Wufei sighs. "Guys, Duo is the real Shinigami. He really is the god of death. Shinii is his daughter. We were all under his protection. We were his followers. Then one day Shinigami did something he shouldn't have. He was called upon to face the court. He was punished, his mind wiped of memories and placed in the mortal world. As his followers, we were punished as well. Except Shinii. The Fates stepped in and kept her from being punished. They say she is the key."
"So who was I?" Val asks.
"You were a demon named Val." Val gasps, like it's a terrible thing or something. "And Trowa was a shadow named Nanashi." Nanashi's eyes widen just a bit.
"What about Heero?"
"Heero was not one of us."
"I don't understand."
"Da... DADDY!!" Suddenly I have my arms full of Shinii.
She hugs me tightly. "Master you're alive!"
I growl a little. I hate it when she calls me master. "Shinii, what have I told you about calling me master?"
"Um.... not to." She looks away.
I tilt her head to me. "I still love you." She smiles at me. I love her smile, it's so much like Kei's.
"So who was Heero?" Val asks again.
"Kei." Shinii says simply. Straight and to the point, also like Kei.
"Who's Kei?" Nanashi asks.
I look over to Kei. He looks at me. I look into his eyes; they're different than I remember. The seem sadder and more hardened. What happened to him? "Kei was an artist that lived alone in a forest. He was my lover and Shinii's father." Kei's eyes widen and then he glares at me. He turns and leaves the room, slamming the door behind him. What has happened to my love? I hear Shinii sniffle. "What has happened?" I whisper more to myself than to the others.
"We can't tell you daddy, you have to remember." Shinii says.
"Why can you not tell me?"
"The court, I'm afraid, has ordered it." Wufei says.
"When I found out what had happened, they punished me too, so that I wouldn't help you."
"Why can't I remember what has happened?" This is confusing.
"Perhaps it is what that demon did to you. He did wound you."
"Yes, perhaps." I look down at Shinii. "What do you know, angel?"
"I am to protect you and the others until your memory has returned. The court ordered me not to show myself to you or the others."
I raise an eyebrow. "Seems you have broken that order, angel."
"The Fates said not to tell you anything."
"Aa, I see."
"Excuse me, but could you explain this more?" I look at Val and sigh. I think we have a long talk a head of us.
TBC...
