Created by Love, Blood and Death Part 8
Duo's POV
I keep wondering where Shinii is. I know I can't really talk to her until after classes. But part of me wants to know she's okay. Wonder if that has anything to do with the fact that I just learned that she's my daughter. At least that's what I got from the memories I got from her. They showed me to be just like a real father. Me, a dad, who'd a thunk.
I can't concentrate on class. Thinking of Shinii reminds of what else I dreamed of. Heero. Heero being my lover. Heero acting like a father to Shinii. I wonder if he really is her father. What the hell am I thinking? Two males cannot make a baby.
I feel something on my leg. I look down and there's Shinii. Her head is laying on my thigh. Her arms wrapped around my lower leg. From my angle she looks sad and deep in thought. I wonder why. I wish I could comfort her somehow.
Suddenly Shinii stands and looks at me. Her eyes show confusion and sadness. "I can read." She says it as if she knows I want to talk.
I look at my paper and write something. [How's Heero?]
"He's fine. He'll be back soon."
[What's wrong?]
She looks a little surprised by that. "Nothing."
God, she's too much like Heero. [Do you know who Abith is?]
She frowns at that. Her eyes glow red a bit. "Why?"
[He was in a dream last night.]
"You shouldn't dream of him."
[Why not? Who is he?]
"A traitor."
[You sure you're OK?]
She looks me in the eye. I can tell she's not. She shakes her head. "Can it wait until you are done here?"
[Yes.]
Shinii's POV
Abith, he remembered Abith. That traitor. I shall never forgive him. I can't stand him. After my master was sent away. He tried to take over me. He wanted to be my master. He stated that one such as I shouldn't be left to my own devices. I was not in the room at the time. But Auzii told me the Fates made a rare appearance. They would not allow Abith control over me.
Instead of Abith the court sent me on duties. Auzii said that Abith argued the Fates wishes. The Fates had him punished for his insolence. Every once in awhile I see that kisama. It takes all my will power not to take his soul. He still tries to be my master.
"Shinii?" My master is staring at me. We've been in his room for a few minutes now. "Shinii, what's wrong?"
"I.." I look at my master. "I... feel...."
"You feel what?"
"I feel so lost. I don't know what to do." I start to cry. Why don't I have any answers?
"Come here." He opens arms to me.
I hesitate for a second before running to him. He hugs me tightly. I've missed this. He always hugged me before. So did his love.
"It's okay. Everything will be fine."
"You don't know that. Immortals want to destroy you. They messed with the Fates' doing. And if I'm not careful they will succeed."
"The Fates' doing?"
"They said that your enemies have been plotting and changing what they have chosen."
"Okay. But things will be fine. I had another dream. Or as you say, a memory."
I had to smile, he was understanding.
"I saw Quatre. Well, okay, he was called Val. But it was definitely Quatre."
"Yes, Val, that's why he seemed familiar. He was an ally."
"Abith didn't like him, did he?"
"Why do you say that?" I didn't think my master knew.
"I saw it in my dream. When Shinigami invited Val to walk with them and stay with them. Abith glared. His whole demeanor changed."
"Abith believes that creatures should stay in their classes. Val was an ascended Demon. He left his class. Abith wasn't happy with it."
"I see."
"You 'see' what?"
Duo's POV
Both Shinii and I look at the door where Heero's standing. Shit, shit and double shit. How the fuck did I miss him opening the door?
I drop my arms and stare at him. I'm immediately reminded of my dream. His naked body beneath me moaning and gasping. His body covered in sheen of sweat. Him calling out my name. Thank god Shinii had been sitting next to me. I quickly change positions so no one can see that I'm getting hard.
"What do you see?" Heero repeats.
"You. I see you." Hey, it's not a lie. I see him. He's right in front of the door.
He raises an eyebrow. "Hn." Then he goes over to his desk.
Ah, yes. Heaven forbid Heero Yuy should relax after a mission. He starts writing a report. I glance at Shinii. She looks to me then to Heero.
"Why don't you kiss?" Shinii asks so innocently.
All I can do is stare wide eyed at her. "What?"
I shake my head. "So how was the mission Heero?"
"Hn."
Yup, that's Heero for you. This 'hn' means 'Shut up baka. I'm writing a report.' I know him so well.
"Just asking. By the way...."
"Duo, leave me alone." He growls.
First time I've had it directed to me. Or maybe it's because of Shinii sitting in the room. For some reason his voice hurts me. I feel like curling up and dying.
"Um... yeah sure. I'll go talk to Quatre." With that said I leave the room.
Shinii's POV
I watch my master leave. What's with these two? I like it better when they were in love. I look at Heero and notice his shoulders sag. His fists are clenched shut.
"What are you doing to me, Duo?" Heero whispers.
Interesting.
He runs his hand through his hair and sighs. "Baka. You've been acting weird and now you're talking to yourself."
"So, are you." I can't help it I have to say something.
Heero goes back to work on his, um... master called it a laptop, I think.
"Why don't you love my master anymore, Heero? Fawlner says that a love like yours lasts forever. That nothing can come between you. If that's true, then why don't you love him?" I stare at him, I wish I could show myself to him. Maybe then answer would start coming to me.
Heero growls and slams his fist into the desk. I look over his shoulder and smile at what he wrote.
[...has beautiful violet eyes, that I could drown in.]
Heh! Who knew he was a romantic. He goes back to typing and I go back to talking.
I have no idea how long my master was gone. I just kept talking to Heero. I had things to get off my chest and I used to always talk to him before.
"So, I can't figure out what to do. I'm lost and confused and things would be a lot easier if you guys were back to normal..."
"Hey, Heero, you ever think about havin' kids?"
Duo's POV
I stepped into our room and was surprised to see Shinii talkin' to Heero. For some reason it made me smile. It was cute. Shinii sittin' on his bed cross legged and chatin' away, even though he couldn't hear her. So, I asked him a question that's been naggin' me since the dream.
"Nani?" Heero was truly surprised by that one.
"I asked if you ever thought about havin' kids. So...have ya?"
Heero looks at me. "We're soldiers. We shouldn't think about those things."
"Yeah, but let's forget we're soldiers. Do you want kids?"
"Duo, we're fifteen. We shouldn't think about having kids or a family. We are kids."
I glance at Shinii who looks saddened by Heero's statement. "Not the point, Heero. Have you ever thought about having kids?"
"Have you?" Oh, he threw it back at me. He's learning.
"Now that you ask. Maybe. What would you like to have? A girl or boy?"
Heero's eyes narrowed. "Duo, you've been acting weird lately, why?"
"I have not. And if I had well... maybe...I've had some weird shit happen to me."
"Like?"
I glared at Heero. "You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Hn." Heero goes back to his typing.
"What would you like, master? Boy or Girl?" Shinii asked.
She seemed upset and lost and if Heero hadn't been here I would have gathered her up and comforted her. So, I point to her and wink. She understands and beams happily at me. And then she disappears.
I lay down on my bed and stare at the ceiling. "Maybe a girl." I look over at Heero.
He had answered my question. Too bad Shinii wasn't here to hear it. "Hm?"
"I said, maybe a girl. Something different than me. More rewards for the challenges. You?"
I smile at him. "I think a girl would be nice." Especially since it would be Shinii. And I already know I'm lost to her.
Now...how to get Heero to be mine.
TBC...
