Feedback :
yes, please!!
Pairings : 1+2/2+1
Warning : yaoi, sap, AU, fusion with
Kanata Kara
Disclaimer : GW characters and Kanata Kara story are not mine.
>_<
Author's note : Okay, this is the first fusion fic I ever write. I
can't help not to put Heero and Duo into the world of Kanata Kara. I found out
the main characters in this manga are really like Heero and Duo. One can survive
after jumping from a cliff that almost as high as 30 stories building and the
other want is always talking and talking. So thanks to Kyoko Hikawa who wrote
the original story, here is the fic, enjoy ^_^ (since it's a fusion, you don't
have to understand the original story to read this. It really has nothing to do
with Kanata Kara, except for the story, which I have altered.)

(...) : author's noteFrom Far Away Part 1
"Damn, that dream again!", Duo
sat up in his bed. His violet eyes still half-open while he thought about his
dream. //Why do I always dream about strange animals and plants that I have
never seen? Moreover, they live and run on green grass under a beautiful blue
sky.// Duo chuckled. //I wish I could live in that world.// He rose from his bed
and took a shower.
After half an hour of struggling with his long hair,
he finally finished the shower. He wore his priest-look-alike-outfit and braided
his lovely chestnut hair. //Now, time to face reality. // He plastered a grin on
his face and went out. His waist-length-braid swinging behind him.
//The
sky in L2 is always gray because of all those damn factories' smoke.// The
braided boy lifted his face to the gray sky above and then he turned his gaze to
the house he just came out from. //An orphan like me is really lucky to find
this abandoned house. The owner of it must've been in a hurry since they left
the door unlocked.....// Duo's mind trailed off to the day he was asked to leave
the orphanage. The government was only supporting the children until they were
16 years old then they were forced to live by themselves. //I wonder what Sister
Helen is doing now...// Duo was so lost in his thoughts that he didn't notice a
black dot in the sky that was growing bigger and heading towards him, until it
was too late.
"WHAT IS A MISSILE DOING HEREEEEE????" Duo, surprised, ran
for shelter as the missile hit the ground and exploded near him. //No wonder the
owner of the house didn't bother to lock the damn door.// That was the last
thought in Duo's mind before darkness claimed
him.
"Ugh..."
Duo slowly regained consciousness and opened his eyes. He was lying on something
hard. //I am laying on the ground?// He blinked and then blinked again, not
trusting his own eyes. "Have I died and gone to heaven?" Duo mumbled then looked
around him. The place was very unfamiliar to him. //Gold is definitely the
dominant color in this place. Golden grass, a golden
tree......wait a
minute....tree?//. Knowing that not a single plant could survive on L2 brought
Duo fully awake.
Duo stood up abruptly and looked up. Tree branches were
high above him, preventing most of the sunlight from shining through. //I'm in a
forest? How did I get in here? Oh, right. There was a missile....//. While Duo
was pondering this strange occurrence the tree's branches started to wiggle and
a creature fell right smack in front of him.
"A giant worm???" Duo
stepped back. The creature, which was taller and bigger than him seemed to
notice his movement and approached. Not like a usual worm, it had spikes around
its body and its front was covered with fangs.
"WHOAAA, don't come any
closer!!!" Duo stepped back again. The worm launched itself toward Duo. // I am
so dead meat this time.// Surrendering to his fate, Duo closed his eyes but
suddenly he felt a strong hand shoving him away. He opened his eyes in surprise
and watched as a man in a strange outfit unsheathed his sword and slashed the
worm in two. Part of the worm landed beside Duo, completely freaking him out.
Without thinking, he jumped and glomped onto the man. His arms were around the
man's head and his legs encircled the man's waist.
//OhmyGod, OhmyGod,
OhmyGod, OhmyGod, thisisnotreal thisisnotrealthisisnotreal//, Duo repeated his
litany over and over. A minute passed in silence before Duo calmed and became
aware of his surroundings again. Feeling soft breath on his chest, Duo realized
what he was doing at the moment.
//Shit. I glomped onto a man. He must be
angry//. Hesitantly, Duo looked down to the man. Violet eyes met cobalt blue
ones. Duo was lost in the eyes that were the same color as the sky in his dream.
//What beautiful eyes he has... but why are they so cold and
expressionless?//
Duo turned his gaze to the man's face. The face of a
young boy with messy brown hair met his gaze. //He is around my age and ...God,
he is beautiful. His lips are dry and his short hair feels so good against my
fingers.......huh? my fingers?//. The realization that he unconsciously had let
his fingers brush the soft brown hair made Duo blush. He grinned nervously and
forced some words out of his mouth.
"Uhm, hi?" //Great! Is that all you
can say, Duo no baka?!// Duo suddenly wanted to slap his own head. The boy whom
he was still clinging onto just snorted and then shoved him
down.
"ITAI!!", Duo landed on the ground, bottom first. //So much for
glomping a boy//
He looked up and opened his mouth to protest about the
boy's action but when he got a full view his blue-eyed savior he was struck
speechless. The boy was putting his sword back into the sheath, which hung on
the waistband of his green tunic. He had a well-built figure and his black
leather boots and pants made his appearance perfect. The boy turned his back and
walked to his bag, which he had thrown off earlier before saving Duo.
Duo
gulped once and finally found his voice. "Look, maybe you are uncomfortable
being glomped by another boy but I'm scared to the death, man. I don't know how
I got here. One thing for sure, this is not my world and while I was thinking,
that worm suddenly attacked me. I was really surprised and scared so I jumped
onto you. I hope you understand my reason for clinging onto you."
The boy
just kept silent, taking his bag then slumping it on his shoulder. "Oy, can you
hear me? I'm trying to ask for your forgiveness here. It's not polite to have
your back turned when someone's talking to you!" Duo wanted to add more but one
glare from the boy made his jaw lock.
The boy said with a cold voice,
"Omae no kotoba wa ore ni wa wakaranai" *I didn't understand your
words*
Duo was stunned. //His language is different from mine.......of
course it's different. This isn't my world anyway.// Duo looked up and found the
boy staring at him. "Uhm, why are you staring at me?" Duo asked nervously.
//God, his eyes are so beautiful and his lips are tempting to be kissed. Gah,
kiss? I'm thinking of kissing him? KISSING A STRANGER?? I've really lost my
mind.//
He was too drowned in his thoughts and failed to notice the fire
that flickered in those sea blue eyes for a second before they became cold
again. The boy shook his head and mumbled, "....konna hazu jyanakattanoni" *...I
didn't expect it to be like this...."
The boy then grabbed Duo's arm,
"Koi". *Come here* (Not koibito :p)
"Huh? What are you saying?". Still
confused, Duo didn't move from where he was standing. The boy released Duo's arm
and grabbed his braid then pulled it. "Itaiii! Hey, that hurts!!"
The boy
yanked Duo's braid again and walked in a certain direction, still grasping
it.
"What? You want me to follow you? Okay, okay, just let go of my
braid." Duo followed the boy, not wanting to have another yank on his braid. The
boy didn't release the braid though and instead he walked faster, closer to
running now.
"Hashire" *Run*. The boy started running.
Poor Duo,
the boy still held his braid. "Ow, ow, my braid! Arghh, let go of my braid! Why
do you have to run all of sudden?" Duo was trying to keep his running speed
equal to the boy when he heard some noises above him. He looked up and his eyes
widened in horror. It was another giant worm. Correction, there was a bunch of
giant worms.
"NO! NOT THOSE WORMS AGAIN!!" Duo used his full speed to run
now. He passed the boy and missed a little smirk that appeared on the boy's
face. A worm fell in front of Duo at the same time he felt a tug on his
braid.
This time the boy yanked the braid harder and made Duo lose his
balance. He fell into the boy's left arm while the boy's right arm unsheathed
the sword and cut the worm. "This is a nightmare!" Duo whined, also taking note
that several worms blocked their path. "Ugh, now I think L2 is better than this
place....HOAAAA".
The boy lifted Duo on his shoulder and began to run
toward the worms. "Oyyy, stop it! You will kill us both!" Duo struggled to free
himself but the boy's grip was too strong. "Stupid boy, you're gonna kill us you
suicidal freak!" The boy just ignored Duo's curses and jumped
high.
//WHAT???? He jumped over the worms???// Duo was surprised. It felt
more like as if they were flying rather than jumping. They landed behind the
worms and the boy kept running, carrying Duo on his shoulder. //He is really
fast. I never thought it was humanly possible to run this fast.// Then Duo
noticed a big hole in front of them. "Watch out! We're gonna fall into the hole.
ARGHHH". The boy jumped into the hole and hugged Duo tighter. //We will be
damned.// thought Duo, but the boy landed on his feet with Duo in his arms
safely. Though the boy jumped from an almost 4-stories-building-height, he
didn't show any signs of injuries at all.
'Huh? What happened just now?'
Duo blinked and looked up where the worms gathered around the hole's
entrance.
"Mou otte kuru koto wa nai" *Those worms will not jump
in*
'Huh? What is he talking about?' Still hugging the boy, Duo pulled
his head back to stare at the boy. //Looks like the worms won't chase us
anymore.// A safe feeling seeped into Duo and suddenly he felt very sleepy. The
continuous feelings of being shocked, surprised, and scared had worn him out.
Those blue eyes that stared at him just made him feel warm and protected. As he
lowered his head and nuzzled around the boy's neck, his eyes closed
slowly.
"Duo!"
Duo turned around to see a woman in a white outfit calling for him
"Huh?
Sister Helen?"
" Why do you look like as if you've seen a ghost,
Duo?"
"Where am I? What is this place?"
"This is the orphanage,
your home. Are you still half asleep?"
"Huh? Asleep?........God, so all
of those things are just a dream!", Duo jumped up happily and hugged the woman.
"Thank God! IT'S JUST A DREAM!" Duo hugged tighter, he felt his hair being
brushed gently by fingers, "It's just a dream...."
"Whoa, Duo. You're
heavy!" The woman fell down, bringing Duo with her. Duo landed on top of her and
could feel his head against a flat chest.
//Flat chest???// Duo's eyes
snapped open. He looked up and a pair of blue eyes met his gaze. //This is not a
dream!! This is real!!!!// Duo hoped he was just having another nightmare. He
closed his eyes, refusing to take the fact that it is real.
"Omae o
korosu" (Do I have to translate this one? ^_^;)
The soft breath, which
touched Duo's nose and that cold voice brought Duo back to reality. He then
realized his awkward position. His face was just a mere inch from the boy's and
the boy lay on the ground with Duo on top of him. "Agh, sor...sorry!" Duo
blushed and tried to stand up but fell aside instead. The boy just snorted and
stood up. He unsheathed his sword and walked away.
//What is he going to
do?// Duo wanted to follow the boy but he found his feet tangled in his hair.
"Since when did I undo my braid??" Duo was confused and he tried to braid his
hair again.
When Duo finished with his braid, he turned around to find
the boy had finished making a raft and sheathed his sword. //He is really fast!
But why did he make a raft?// Duo looked around and noticed that there was an
underground river near them and the boy was pushing the raft into the river now.
//He didn't leave me when I fell asleep, I guess I can trust him.// Duo eyed the
boy carefully. The boy had saved him and he felt no reason to not trust the
boy.
"Ikuzo" *Let's go*
"Huh?? I don't understand your language,
remember? Your cold voice and lack of words don't help much. Can't you make any
gestures that show what do you want from me?"
The boy grabbed Duo's braid
and yanked it.
"ITAIIIII, oucchhhh. I understand, I understand. You want
me to follow you?" Duo came near the boy, following him as he walked onto the
raft. "Gee, when I said a gesture I didn't expect you to use my braid. It hurts
to have your braid yanked, you know? Someday I will cut this braid
and....hmmmpph." Suddenly Duo found his braid shoved into his mouth. Duo spat it
out. "Does this mean you want me to shut up? I told you not to use my braid. You
look like you have a hair
fetish or some..."
The boy growled and
reached for the braid again. Duo quickly shut his mouth with his left hand while
his right hand held his braid protectively. He sat on the raft nicely while the
boy controlled the raft with a pole he had picked up while Duo was busy braiding
his hair.
They entered an underground tunnel and slowly the light
disappeared. "Whoaaaaaaa, it's so dark here! I can't even see my own hands. How
long does the tunnel last?" A light from the boy's direction attracted Duo. He
turned his head and saw fire emanating from the boy's palm. Duo's jaws dropped
as the fire burnt the stick he held in his other hand, making a
torch.
"Urusai", said the boy while giving the torch to Duo.
Duo
received the torch and stared at it. //Hello? Excuse me, where was the fire
from? Is it magic? I know you are stronger than an ordinary man, but I never
thought about magic//. Duo turned his gaze and stared at the boy, who had turned
his back to Duo. //Can I trust you?//
After a minute of silence, Duo
couldn't keep quiet and started talking again. "Uhmmm". The boy turned his head
to Duo and glared at him. "I just want to know your name. My name is Duo", Duo
pointed to himself, "Duo Maxwell".
The boy still glared at him, making
Duo nervous. "It's true! I run, I hide, but I never lie. I'm Duo, Duo Maxwell",
Duo pointed to himself again. And then he pointed to the boy, "What
yours?"
"......."
"Uh...oh..." //Is he pissed off? Does he
understand?//
The boy turned his head back and mumbled, "Shinigami to wa
kono se o souran ni michibiku mono nohazu." *The legend says that Shinigami is
the person who can control the world....*
Duo was totally confused.
"What?"
"Souzourashii yatsu wa omowanakattana." *I never thought
Shinigami was so noisy*
"Huh? Pardon me?"
"Ore no na wa Heero.
Heero Yuy. " *My name is Heero, Heero
Yuy."
"Heero....."
They
stopped at a bank and got off the raft.
"Sokoni iro" *Stay there*, said
Heero to Duo and pointed to the ground. //I hope he understands.//
Then
Heero left and examined the wall that blocked their way. A sound of splashing
water was heard behind him and he turned around to see Duo walking out from a
puddle. //I guess he didn't understand at all.//.
"Geez, I didn't think
puddles got that deep!" Duo grumbled while he was trying to wring his clothes
and saw Heero's glare. "Look, I'm sorry, but I thought I heard a sound. It's so
dark around here so I can't see where my foot had stepped...."
//Here he
goes again.// Heero opened his bag and searched for something. //I have to find
a way to make him shut up.//
"....I like the dark, but....HMPPPHH", Heero
pushed some clothes into Duo's mouth.
"Kigaero" *Change your
clothes*
"Huh? What is this? Is it a towel?" Duo held the clothes and
stared at them.
Losing his patience, Heero began unbuttoning Duo's shirt.
But since Duo's outfit wasn't familiar to him, he didn't know how to unbutton it
so this left him with one option. Heero ripped Duo's outfit.
"ARGHHH,
pervert! What are you doing?" Duo was surprised, angry, and embarrassed all at
the same time.
"Kigaero", Heero repeated and pointed at the clothes in
Duo's hands.
"You want me to change? Geez, you didn't have to rip my
clothes first. That's...", this time Duo noticed Heero's hand was approaching
his braid. He shut up at once and walked to find a safe place to change into the
clothes.
Heero didn't follow him, instead he leaned on the wall, arms
crossed. //Looks like I can use his braid to make him shut up.........His hair
is really soft, especially when the braid was released.//. Heero remembered
feeling the soft-like-silk hair when Duo fell asleep in his arms. He didn't know
what had gotten into him but he found his hands undoing Duo's braid and
caressing the hair. Heero shook his head. //Why did I think about his hair? I
must not think about unimportant things like that. He is Shinigami after all,
the one who is being wanted by all the rulers in order to control this
world.//
"Is this the right way to put on these clothes?" Duo's voice
brought Heero's attention back. He looked up and held his breath.
Duo was
standing in front of him, looking stunning in the purple tunic and black leather
pants. Heero growled and detached himself from the wall and turned around to
face it. //Don't think about him, he is Shinigami.// Heero concentrated and then
pushed the wall.
The wall cracked. //I still don't believe that this
noisy person is Shinigami.//
Heero pushed harder and the wall collapsed,
welcoming the sunlight to enter. "Wow, finally I can see the daylight," said
Duo.
//If he is really Shinigami....// Heero stared at Duo who was
looking at the blue sky. //Someday.....I have to kill
him.//
TBC...
