Takeo - Chapter Five!
WuFei - For everyone’s sake, Takeo does not own GW or us. Warnings, lemon?
Duo - *rubs hands * That’s what I'm talking about.

Chapter Five : Lines Drawn

WuFei waited as all the gundams landed one by one. He immediately noticed that Sandrock, Heavy Arms and Deathscythe stood close to one another. Wing Gundam landed, away from them and WuFei stepped out. Each pilot stepped out of their gundams and on to the ground. WuFei was dressed in his white pants and blue tank top.

"What are we supposed to do now?" Duo asked as he stepped forward.

"Nothing." WuFei said as he looked over everyone. So, Heero Yuy was Silentum, Trowa and Quatre were with Duo.

"Stop pretending Shingami. We all know which side we're all on." Heero said as he transformed. WuFei watched as they all revealed themselves.

"Then we shouldn't hide either." A voice said. WuFei's eyes widened as several beings, some with daemon wings, some with angel wings appeared and they landed either beside Duo or Heero.

"Oz, the Alliance, the Colonies and a few people." WuFei said as his eyes scanned Duo's side. There was Quatre, Trowa from the colonies, Zechs Marquise, a soldier from the Specials, as well as Lieutenant Noin, and Dorothy Catalonia from the control board of Oz. And on Heero's side, Treize Khushrenada, the leader of Oz, Lady Une, his subordinate, Relena Peacecraft, heir to the Peacecraft throne and Sally Po, a doctor in the Alliance.

"So, we all made it. I can say that it's nice to see you all." Crudelis said as he smiled at the Peacecraft girl.

"Your feelings are one sided daemon." Treize replied shortly.

"Where's Nataku, or did she finally get smart and leave you guys?" Deceptus asked, brushing blond bangs from his eyes.

"I can’t believe that I'm related to you." Puritas spat out, despite her calm face.

"Dear Sister, we are clearly very different." Deceptus shot back. Crudelis and Verrere chuckled at the sibling rivalry.

"What is the purpose of this meeting, this war? You all have brought my life chasing down around me and justice must be served." WuFei inquired, keeping his emotions in check. Eleven pairs of eyes turned to him, acknowledging his presence. Shingami recognized the sweet tenor and beautiful velvet eyes.

"It's you!" he exclaimed as he bubbled with excitement. Confusus looked at Silentum, the same look that Shingami had in his eyes were in Silentum's eyes as well.

"Friend or Foe?" Verrere asked as she pulled out her double sword and charged at WuFei. Conscietia did the same with her sword. Both women clashed with the boy who held up his sword. The boy cried out as several volts of energy shot through him, his sword breaking in two, both women's weapons driving themselves into his sides.

"Stop!" Shingami and Silentum screamed at the two. WuFei fell to the crowd with a thud. A great cry was heard from his gundam. Shingami watched as the gundam's green eyes glowed and shot twin rays of green over the boy. Daemons and angels alike stepped back. They had never seen anything like this in all their lives. Shingami, fearing no death walked over to WuFei's now glowing body, scythe drawn. Not far behind him, Silentum followed. WuFei's screams ceased.

"He's...at peace. Nataku!" Puritas-Pac shouted as she recognized a soft voice that was whispering to WuFei.

"Repeat after me WuFei. This is the only way I can save you." Nataku whispered. WuFei opened tired eyes. He nodded weakly.

"Together, now and forever, my innocence shall save me, I will become the arm of justice, I will be the embodiment of justice; to end all this chaos and any other that will threaten the people of this world by any means necessary, I will be the vessel, I am Justitia." Nataku whispered the oath. WuFei repeated it vaguely aware of what he was becoming. Shingami gazed in horror as WuFei knelt. Holding himself, silk green ribbons wrapped around his form. His clothes changed a tinted green with white. His wings were feathery, but shorter than an angel's and the feathers looked as sharp as a daemon's talon. The wings themselves were rimmed with a dark green.

"I'm sorry my child. Forgive me." Nataku whispered as her voice faded.

WuFei opened weary eyes, a long pole taking shape in his hands. A silver crescent moon shape was the blade of WuFei, no Justitia's weapon. WuFei stood up slowly; eyes glowing a faint white and the light faded leaving a very perplexed boy.

"What are his powers?" Illusio asked. This boy could be a threat to Etheria itself. All eleven thought the same. Shingami whom was nearest to WuFei called the boy to his side.

"I won't hurt you WuFei." He said softly. Glowing eyes faced Shingami.

"Justitia." The boy said angrily. Shingami frowned. Justice makes him very different. He cannot be the one to have enough power to send us back. Justita collapsed, his wounds still restricting his arms. The gundam moved much faster than Shingami and Silentum and picked up the unconscious boy. It blasted off into the night.

"I don't know about you, but I think we need to investigate this. Justitia was never in any of my books, and I am the oldest out of all of us." Shingami said as he addressed Silentum. The angel nodded, putting his anger aside for the daemons for the moment.

"Are we calling a truce?" he asked. Shingami cast looks at his generals. Verrere eyes were saddened for the pain she had caused. She nodded her consent, so did the rest.

"My side's settled." Shingami said as he approached Silentum. They put their weapons away and shook hands.

"We’ll conduct our own investigation. Whoever finds Justitia first should contact the others immediately." Silentum said. Both leaders nodded and both groups departed with their gundams. The angelus's had their base in one of Treize's safe houses and the daemon's in one of Quatre's many mansions. The workers were not used to seeing the daemons lurking about but their master Quatre had always been kind to them despite his renewal of blood lust. The pilots continued their attack on the Alliance, and Treize Khushrenada along with his specials helped with this, but focused more on getting rid of the Romafellar Foundation. In space, the four doctors sat together in a room, clutching an old worn book.

"We must get this to the angels and daemons. If they do not unite and mend their differences, Etheria can not be brought back and that being that we feared has arrived cannot be sent back." Dr. J said as he looked gravely among his friends.

"Well, none of the gundams were destroyed in the mission that we sent them on, and so far, they've ignored our orders. And yet, Oz has stopped its progresses, and seems to be deconstructing, and the Alliance is suffering heavy blows. I think that when the angels and daemons were reborn, they were born in very different positions." Dr. O said with a nod.

"So, we are not sure if they are warring. Then whom should we give this to? We can’t open it, it takes an Etherian native to do so." Dr. J said

"Let's give it to Heero Yuy. He can contact the others from there." Dr. H suggested.

"Excellent, I'm sending this to Heero. It should find his location on Earth in no time." Dr. J said as he put in the coordinates, sent the package and went and sat with his comrades. They started to talk of recent events when the room suddenly went cold.The four men shuddered as twin almond eyes lighted up in the dark.

"Who are you?" Dr. J asked as he faced the incoming person. The being stepped out of the shadows, light casting off pale green wings rimmed with dark green.

"I am Justitia and I won’t let you send me back. Nataku was foolish enough to think that she could use this boy to control the force of justice." Justitia said as his weapon materialized in his hand.

"We don’t know the contents of the book. We can’t know how to send you back." Dr. H piped up. Justitia smiled.

"I care not for the book. I am to eliminate all the forces that contribute to all the chaos of this time. It was you who built the gundams. I shall annihilate you first and then, I shall deal with the bigger fish." Justitia said as he raised his weapon.

"You can’t do this. You are not Shingami." Dr. J said as he and his comrades huddled together.

"I am not Shingami, he can not die and has the power to take lives away and traps souls, and I however, can take away life as well, except that I justify my actions. Rest in peace." Justitia said as he sliced his weapon through all four men, blood and gore splashing on his shoes. Justitia searched for water and cleaned himself. He was not supposed to feel regret or resentment, but deep in him, those very things swam in his mind, replaying the men's screams.

"I hate this." He commented as he looked for an air vent that led out into space. Once he was out, he called up a shield and darted back to the Earth.

WuFei woke up to twin sensations burning in his sides. He briefly remembered the oath that he had taken. He remembered turning into Justitia and for a moment, he was in control, but his injuries rendered him unconscious, so Justita had full control of his body. WuFei let out a small cry as he tried to move, pain hammering at his sides. He turned his head a bit and registered his surroundings. It was dark and he was on a hill. Hidden in camouflage was Shenlong. WuFei looked accusingly at the gundam. Nataku, I fear that you have created something beyond your control. WuFei shuddered as he felt arms wrap around his frail form. He spotted daemon wings and made an attempt to escape.

"You really shouldn’t be taking naps out in the open Justitia, it’s dangerous." A boy’s voice said. WuFei opened his eyes and came face to face with Deceptus.

"It’s WuFei." WuFei said as he tried to struggle. Deceptus smiled. He could see a fire burning in this boy, a very intoxicating fire. No wonder Shin-sama wants him so much.

"WuFei?" Deceptus asked quizzically as he lifted the light boy in his arms. WuFei winced as fingers touched his side.

"Yes WuFei. Justitia, he’s, I don’t know." WuFei said as slender brows knitted in confusion.

"It’s all right. Do you mind if I take you to my master?" Deceptus asked kindly.

"Shingami?" WuFei asked as he blushed at the memory of the Lord of Daemons. Deceptus with his cunning hid his smile at the boy’s reaction.

"Yes, or should I say Duo?" Deceptus said. WuFei nodded his consent.

"As long as you don’t intend to double cross me. I may be wounded, but I can still defend myself." WuFei said carefully. Deceptus nodded and took to the sky. He was sure that the boy’s gundam was safe.

"There’s a truce between the angels and us." Deceptus said as they neared Quatre’s mansion.

"Because of Justitia?" WuFei asked. Deceptus smiled. This boy was very perceptive.

"Hai. He is neither daemon nor angelus and we were the only two kinds of beings on Etheria, Nataku was the exception. Now, other species might inhabit our home, but we may never know." Deceptus said as they landed. Servants scurried around the palace as they noticed the platinum haired daemon’s return. Some peered at the strange boy in his arms but they did not question him. Deceptus walked to his chambers and opened the door as he heard a keen cry of pleasure. The small blond on the bed had straddled the brown haired boy on the bed; blood stained his lips as the body beneath his relaxed.

"Next time love, please refrain from biting me." The boy underneath said as he placed a wavering hand to his neck. WuFei blushed at the seeing the two in such a state of undress and engaged in such an activity.

"Gomen Tro-chan." The blond said as he snuggled closer to his lover.

"Really, you started without me?" Deceptus said as he placed WuFei carefully on his feet, still with an arm wrapped around the boy. Both boys sat up and for a moment fear ran through their eyes, but on noticing the absence of wings and the weapon gone, they sighed with relief. Illusio sat up and untucked his wings. He had the decency to cover both he and his wild lover up seeing the small boy’s face change to many shades of crimson. Crudelis put his pants on and circled the boy, wings flapping gently as he floated a few inches of the ground. He placed tender fingers where WuFei’s wounds were and the boy flinched. Crudelis withdrew his hands and noticed that they were stained with blood. He licked his fingers in an appetizing manner and feasted his eyes on the boy’s form. WuFei instinctively moved away.

"Zechs, you really shouldn’t bring him in here. I have a very healthy appetite you know, no thanks to Dorothy and Noin down the hall. Their screams put to shame both the Sirens and the Banshees of the north. He is the one that Shingami won’t shut up about ne?" Crudelis asked.

" Well, it’s not that Tro-kun’s screaming isn’t loud enough to wake the dead either." Shingami said from the open doorway as he flew in. He immediately wrapped his arms around WuFei, relief flooding his eyes.

"I found him out in the open, just regaining consciousness." Deceptus said as a note of seriousness entered his voice. Two pairs of eyes connected over WuFei’s head and Shingami nodded.

"Did Zechs here explain everything?" Shingami asked.

"Hai. Despite your reputation, you are all quite friendly." WuFei said with a smile. Shingami noticed the bleeding wounds on WuFei.

"Both Dorothy and Une really hurt you. I know that Dorothy is sorry, but I’m not sure about Une." Shingami said as he led WuFei out of his friends’ room.

"Nothing that bandages and disinfectants won’t fix." WuFei said as he walked slowly. Shingami scooped WuFei up in his arms and grinned as he saw the blush creeping into WuFei’s face.

"I won’t bite, hard." Shingami said with a laugh as he reached his room. He opened the door and as he stepped in. Crudelis’s voice made itself heard throughout the hallway.

"But I’ll bite harder." He shouted with a chuckle. WuFei felt his cheeks burn at Crudelis’s intended joke.

"Don’t mind him. He’s like that all the time. Believe me, his lovers have quite a task controlling him. Gods above, if he was a vampire, they would be no one left on this planet." Shingami said as he shut his door and deposited WuFei on his bed, silk sheets like water against WuFei’s back.

"Thank you for taking care of me. I’m not sure if this is your usual nature, but I can see that in your eyes, you mean no harm." WuFei said quietly. Shingami paused for a moment. Among his generals, they were the nicest to him since they all knew one another and had established that bond long ago. Here was this stranger, and he was saying the same thing, total sincerity in his voice. Shingami faced the boy and hugged him.

"You sure know how to make a guy feel special." Shingami said as he smiled. He made a gesture for WuFei to remain seated and he opened his door and hollered down the hallway.

"Oi! Great Verrere-sama, get your ass over here and bring the med kit with you." Shingami said as he tossed a wink at WuFei.

"Damn it Shingami, I’m busy!" the daemon shouted back. A slight moan was heard. Shingami grinned wickedly. Verrere was 100 years his junior and it was the two of them that started the revelation that tore Etheria apart.

"Look, WuFei’s here. Your sword cut him really deep." Shingami said. There was a rustle; a muttered ‘gomen’ and Verrere emerged from the room, an unusual sparkle in her eyes. She ran past Shingami and attended to WuFei.

"Sorry you had to get dragged into this. But Nataku picked you for a reason." Verrere said as she sprinkled something into WuFei’s side, causing the wounds to burn and then tickle.

"Thank you Dorothy." WuFei said as he smiled. Dorothy rustled his unbound hair.

"No problem." She said with a twitch of her forked eyebrows. Shingami chuckled.

"And you, don’t call me anytime tonight. I’m busy." Verrere said as she addressed Shingami and ran back to her room. A loud smack was heard as soon as the door shut.

"Welcome back Dor-chan, where were we?" a female voice purred. Shingami shut his door.

"I swear, everyone is very frisky tonight." Shingami said as he shook his head.

"Maybe it's because your greatest threat has agreed to a truce and you can rest easy for a while. Haven’t any of you, I mean, haven’t you been with one another since you were reborn?" WuFei asked, desperately trying to keep his face from over heating.

"Funny you should ask that." Shingami said as he settled next to WuFei, letting his fingers comb through WuFei’s hair lightly.

"How come five gundam pilots ended up on different ends of a bridge?" WuFei asked as he tried to draw Shingami’s growing attention to his hair. Shingami’s violet orbs darkened.

"If you must know, Heero was born about 50 years after I was born which was about; nine hundred years ago, in our time. Earth time, we're talking thousand of years. My generals and Heero's generals, we were all living on Etheria, a world a lot like the Earth that was never really there, like a parallel universe so to speak. When anyone on Etheria was born, we looked very human; no wings, no conscience. But as we grew, I actually * had * a conscience and I began to question what people on Earth did and their unique views on life and death. Death fascinated me, and the more I thought about it, the darker my thoughts came. So technically, I was evil, and so was everyone else who liked creeping around at night, torturing and chasing people. So okay, I am the god of Death and I get to see some pretty strange stuff.

When I turned 200, I noticed that I had started growing wings, just like everyone does when they turn 200. But, everyone grew angel wings and I was growing daemon wings and for that, I got persecuted. I don’t even want to describe what I went through when the nobles tried to make me an angel. The same thing happened to my friends, Zechs and the others when they turned 200 a couple of years after me. I pulled them out before they really got hurt and we started a war, along with other daemons against the angels. After that, whenever someone was born, they immediately show tiny wings, indicating what they were.

There were no more children as the war heightened and we were ruthless. But new and different species began to appear on Etheria, but they were in hiding because of the war. The war came down to me, Zechs, Noin, Dorothy, Quatre and Trowa against Heero, Treize, Relena, Sally and Une. Nataku appeared towards the end of the war and she shut all of us in some kind of eternal sleep. Nataku isn't a killing kind of person. If she was, we daemons and angelus wouldn't be here right now, causing trouble in a new place. Before she did, I made a prophecy that I would return to rule over Etheria once the five rings were in space. I said this because I knew that by that time, people would want to explore beyond their world and find ways to cheat death. So we ended up being reborn on Earth and not on Etheria because the war really damaged our home, which we daemons don't really want to return to since we want to explore the universe. And so, here I am. I know that a girl named Merian opened the book and she died. It was a signal to Nataku that I was back and she had put her soul in the book and since the book is destroyed, she can’t be here anymore. And that’s the whole story." Shingami said as he lay down his bed, wiggling his toes.

"Merian, so, she did die for a worthy cause." WuFei mused.

"You knew her? It wasn’t my idea for her to die but unpleasant visions would have been nicer." Shingami commented.

"She was my wife." WuFei said quietly. Shingami sat up with wide eyes.

"Your wife? How old are you? You look no younger than 15, and believe me, I know." Shingami said as he locked amethyst with velvet eyes.

"Yes. You are right on both counts. I didn’t want to be married, we were merely children. We argued so much and I shut those arguments out and tried to love her as a husband would love a wife but all my efforts amounted to me caring for her like a sister, but it’s okay. She was so bent on fighting Oz and the Alliance and I don’t want to fight and yet, when I was young, my mother placed a sword in my hands and trained me then my father taught me to fight without the sword. They both said that it was for self defense and mediation and it would keep my body in shape and as long as I read my books, I wouldn’t lack in either intelligence or the love of the outdoors." WuFei said as he pulled his knees to his chest, his memory of the few precious moments in his life bringing him to tears. Shingami wiped away the tears, not wanting to see the boy sad.

"Don’t be sad. I could see your unwillingness when you held that sword to my throat. You’re a very kind boy. You shouldn’t have been dragged into this, but I’m glad that I met you." Shingami said as he kissed WuFei’s forehead. WuFei blushed.

"Thank you for listening. This week has been hell for me." WuFei said with a sad smile.

"Well, what can I do to make it better?" Shingami purred softly as his fingers wrapped around WuFei’s hand, tingles of energy rushing through him. WuFei blushed again. Shingami had a very predatory look in his eyes, mixed with an emotion that WuFei couldn’t place and that fanged smile. WuFei shook his head.

"Fangs?" he choked as he shook himself from Shingami’s memorizing eyes. Duo grinned and pointed to the twin fangs.

"Yeah, daemons use them to mark their mates, which are usually till death do us part kind of thing." Shingami said as the predatory look returned, this time not as frightening.

"You mean?" WuFei asked as he turned his head in the general direction of all the other generals’ rooms. Shingami nodded and deep concern filled his eyes.

"When we started this war, everyone made sure that they had a reason not to give up, their partners. I’ve had many, all human boys, but they never survived my ritual and I’ve been reprimanded many times by Zechs and I’ve broken the habit. I’m actually much happier now, but I guess you can’t judge." Shingami said as he blushed guilty in remembrance of his cruel games.

"It’s all right. You’re a very nice person. Most people expect Death to be uncaring, unfeeling and just doing his job. But you, you practically scream life and it oozes out of you." WuFei said with an encouraging smile. Shingami looked up.

"Really? Then I better calm down don’t you think?" he asked with a smile.

"Whatever floats your boat." WuFei said. Shingami grasped his hands in his and kissed them lightly.

"Have you, ever, I mean, has anyone?" Shingami asked, blushing at his own confusion. He had asked the question so many times before he made his intention known to whom he was lusting after. If they had been touched, it didn’t matter as long as they wanted to be with him, but for some reason, confessing his desire to this boy before him would make or break his heart.

"You mean, has anyone claimed me?" WuFei asked, blushing ever though the words rolled off his tongue as if in a casual conversation. Shingami nodded.

"No." WuFei whispered softly. Shingami crushed his lips against WuFei’s some strange relief flooding his heart. He didn’t want any being to have laid a hand on this beautiful boy in his arms. He wanted to know that he wasn’t committing some great sin by loving this boy so much that it hurt.

"I love you WuFei Chang." Shingami whispered as he withdrew from the short kiss, his whole body feeling the need to collapse and just die in those beautiful dark chocolate depths.

"Wo ai ni, Du-chan." WuFei replied softly. As he uttered the words, his heart relaxed in his chest. That entire week spent musing over his feelings for the braided daemon had been answered. Shingami smiled.

"Duo? Only you can call me Du-chan my love." Shingami whispered as he once again his lips captured WuFei’s gently, his tongue sliding into WuFei’s warm mouth, learning each curve and hollow. WuFei whimpering softly against him. He shyly twined his tongue with Shingami’s, the braided boy tucking his wings away as he took off his clothes. WuFei’s eyes were shut as their kiss deepened, vaguely aware that he was being undressed. His eyes slid open as Shingami, no Duo’s mouth slipped away from his, both boys breathing in short gasps. Duo bent down again, straddling WuFei’s hips, amethyst eyes lidded with desire. WuFei moaned as Duo took a brown nipple between his lips and suckled gently, mewls of pleasure spilling from that exquisite throat.

Duo made his explorations all over WuFei’s chest, lips gliding against the lithe frame. He made his way back up to WuFei’s neck, finding a sensitive spot where neck met shoulder. WuFei growled under his breath as he felt tiny fangs prick his skin. He moaned as the feeling became sweet, Duo moaning above him. Duo grinned, a feral smile on his lips as he slid down to WuFei’s caramel thighs. Duo chuckled as his lips grazed slowly down WuFei’s thigh. He felt his skin light on fire as slender fingers felt his braid and loosened it, chestnut hair falling like a curtain around the two bodies. WuFei purred as the hair brushed against his thighs, whimpering even more. Duo decided to end this torture, for both their sakes. His eyes lighted up as he slowly wrapped his hand around the proof of WuFei’s passion, a moan escaping WuFei’s lips. Duo grinned hungrily as he engulfed WuFei’s shaft, the boy below him moaning as he thrust into his mouth, Duo nipping and blowing against WuFei as the boy cried his name softly. Duo sped up his suction and WuFei came, honey spilling down Duo’s throat as he lapped up WuFei’s essence.

"What a delicious gift." Duo whispered as he kissed WuFei, the boy whimpering against him as tongues danced once again.

"Umh, Du-chan." WuFei murmured as the daemon slid his lips and tongue and nibbled at WuFei’s neck.

"Is there anything you want Fei-chan?" Duo asked softly as he continued his exploration of WuFei’s body.

"I want you…in me, onegai Du-chan?" WuFei asked as he arched into Duo’s touch, craving more. Duo was happy to oblige. Hadn’t he spent sleepless nights dreaming of this?

"Whatever you want. I’ve always wanted to, but this means that you’ll be mine." Duo said seriously, despite the lack of blood rushing to his brain due to WuFei’s submission.

"I love you. And I meant it." WuFei said as he acknowledged the implication of Duo’s words. He would be by Duo’s side till they ceased to exist.

"Ai shiteru Fei-chan. This will hurt." Duo said as he slid a finger into WuFei, the boy growling at the intrusion. He forced himself to relax as two more fingers slid in. He began to lose focus as Duo stroked him from within, hitting a spot that made him want to scream with desire. He opted to mewling his content. Duo whispered a soft ‘gomen’ as he removed his fingers and thrust deep into WuFei, burying himself in. WuFei let out a scream as Duo drove in hard, lips crushing against his, quieted him. WuFei’s cries subsided as Duo calmed him, his body closing down hard around Duo. WuFei wrapped his arms around Duo’s waist, losing coherency in his thoughts as Duo began to move in and out of him, the daemon moaning as he did, the hot velvet feeling of WuFei driving him insane. WuFei thrust back against his lover, abandoning himself to the sweet motions, Duo’s name dropping from his lips, his hands placed on the muscled back, nails digging into soft skin.

"Ummh…ahh yesss… harder Du-chan…" WuFei moaned softly as Duo moved faster in him, his passion building to its breaking point. WuFei cried out as he came for the second time that night, Duo and Shingami’s names intermingled as his vision blurred. The force of his release caused WuFei’s body to clamp down harder on Duo and as he thrust in one final time, he came hard, barely breathing as he whispered ‘ai shiteru’ in WuFei’s ears as his lips made contact with WuFei’s neck and fangs sunk into soft flesh, not to deep, but deep enough to draw blood.

WuFei winced as Duo sprinkled some of the powder that Dorothy had left and the wounds closed before they could bleed. Duo collapsed on WuFei. He locked his hands around the boy and rolled over so that WuFei was on top.

"Damn." Duo muttered as he kissed WuFei again, silk black locks tickling his shoulder. WuFei smiled softly as he slid beside Duo and snuggled up against Duo’s heaving chest.

"What are you implying?" WuFei asked as he kissed Duo. It took another minute before Duo could respond.

"I would take you back to Etheria with me, even if it meant never seeing the Earth again, even give this war up as long as I can have you with me always." Duo said as amethyst eyes bored into obsidian depths. WuFei smiled.

"That you will my love." WuFei said as Duo’s arms wrapped protectively around him, his breathing regulating.

"Ai shiteru." Duo whispered as he procured a damp cloth and cleaned he and his lover, and brought new sheets.

"Wo ai ni Du-chan, my Shingami." WuFei whispered as his eyes slid shut in sleep; head tucked in against Duo’s chest.

"Now and forever." Duo replied softly.

"Now and forever." WuFei whispered sleepily. And that was one promise that he meant to keep.

End of chapter five.

* Justitia means Justice.
Takeo – I think I went a little over board.
Duo – A little?! That was great!
WuFei – I agree. Good thing that you had that powder handy. I don’t like scars.
Takeo – I know. ^_~
