Chapter Two : The Ryujinbito
Takeo - Hello and welcome to chapter two of Tenkuu no Ryunjinbito!
WuFei - Takeo doesn't own GW or us; so don't sue. She's entertaining many people so it must be a good thing.
Duo - Warnings, lime, death.WuFei opened his eyes and blinked. The pain in his chest was dull but he felt fine. His friends' ordeal came rushing back to him as he sat up in his bed. I have to save them somehow...
Sally grumbled as she, Hilde, Dorothy and Noin were tied to a column in the middle of the throne room. A guard came in and bowed.
"Treize-sama, your son is in his room." The guard said.
"Watch them. Lady Une, come with me." Treize said as he arose from his throne. Une followed him silently.
"What are we going to do now?" Dorothy asked. Sally remained silent as she saw Heero sneak in. Prince Heero? Here?! But how? Heero motioned for her to be quiet.
"We wait." Sally said, trying to hide her smile as she saw Duo and Zechs quietly take out the guards one by one. She knew that the princes were excellent soldiers, but, to be so silent?
Hilde looked around the throne room and noticed the absence of all 17 guards. She spotted violet orbs that smiled at her.
"What took you?" Dorothy said as all three boys smiled.
"Hey, you can't just infiltrate a whole planet let alone the Shinto Region." Duo said with a laugh as he freed the women.
"Well, explain. We got captured once we entered the Shinto Region." Noin said as she smiled at Zechs.
"We have guardian dragons so to speak. They've merged with us, lending us their strength. We got in here pretty much undetected. With Trowa's help of course." Heero said.
" Dragons?" Sally asked.
"Long story. Let's get out of here." Duo said as he grabbed his sister's hand.
"No, not until I see that WuFei is all right." Sally said. The three other women fell silent.
"WuFei? " Zechs asked.
"He's the prince of this planet, but he's not the one you should punish. It's his father. WuFei actually saved us from Treize, his father." Noin said as she nodded.
"Wait, he has wings and long black hair right?" Duo asked.
"Hai. You've seen him?" Dorothy said. Duo shook his head.
"Okay. Duo and I will confront Treize. Zechs, get everyone back to the ship. Sally, come with us." Heero said. Everyone nodded and parted ways.
"Which way Sally?" Duo asked. Sally narrowed her blue eyes and tried to remember WuFei's lessons.
"We have two more hallways to go. The fifth door on the left." Sally said. Heero and Duo nodded and all three of them hurried.
WuFei sat up from his bed as his door swung open.
"Treize." WuFei said as he held his chest, the pain returning. WuFei spied a lone feather on his sheets and he quickly hid it.
"I heard that you collapsed while helping those Earthlings to escape." Treize said as he stood at the foot of WuFei's bed. WuFei shut his eyes as pain washed over him.
"You've probably killed them." WuFei said as he fell back against his pillow. Lady Une stood at his side and pressed her hand to his chest.
"Treize, it is almost done." Une whispered.
"Do it." Treize whispered. Une nodded.
Sally, Heero and Duo halted as they reached the fifth door. A piercing scream came from the room and Duo kicked open the door. On the bed lay WuFei, the boy from his dream, twisting on the bed in pain, tears streaming down his beautiful face. A brown haired woman stood by his side, her hand actually in his chest.
"Let him go!" Duo shouted as he attacked the woman, knocking her away from the boy. Treize rose angrily.
"More Earthlings! How did you get past my guards?" he shrieked as he drew his sword.
"You have to answer to your sins." Heero said coldly as he pointed his sword to Treize's throat. He watched out of the corner of his eye as Duo and Sally helped the boy sit up, blood flowing from his wound. The boy shifted, whispering softly.
"Okaa-san..." he whispered as his wound knitted together. Duo gulped in amazement and Sally watched transfixed. Almond eyes opened slowly, bottomless dark chocolate eyes meeting amethyst. Bat felt a shriek of terror and he un-merged from Duo and hid back in its amulet. WuFei raised his hand and it fell limply back against the sheets.
"WuFei, it's going to be okay." Duo whispered, not sure why he had to save this boy. He lifted the boy to his feet and he returned back to Heero's side, Sally holding a gun to Lady Une.
"He's my son." Treize said coolly.
"And you happened to be ripping out his heart. Some father you are." Sally spat out angrily.
>"We are merely ridding the universe of a curse." Une said as she stood beside Treize.
"Heero, there's some kind of beam heading for Aeolia. Get out now!" Howard shouted over his communicator. Treize and Une nodded.
"It has begun. You have to let us kill WuFei now!" Une shouted.
"No!" Duo shouted, holding WuFei tighter.
"Let's go. I'll kill you if you follow." Heero said as Duo and Sally ran out. Treize and Une made no move as Heero left them alone.
"Treize, has it?" Une asked.
"I don't know. Merian cursed me for kidnapping her from Earth. She had said that she would rather face the hatred on Earth than claim to be my wife." Treize said as a green light bathed the room.
"She died how?" Une asked.
"I killed her when WuFei was five years old." Treize whispered.
"Then, we are done for. Chubu Dragon, she has called her wrath." Une said as she held Treize's hand.
"Yes." Treize replied. Duo, Sally and Heero watched as a green light shrouded Aeolia and it disappeared.
"What happened?" Duo asked in confusion.
"I don't know." Heero said as Peacemillion turned away and zoomed out of the Shinto Region. A barely visible green light surrounded Peacemillion and it was pulled towards the Earth. Howard, Trowa and the women came and met the others at the hangar.
"Is WuFei okay?" Hilde asked as she noticed the blood on her brother's clothes.
"I hope so." Duo said.
"What happened to Aeolia. That green beam...." Howard said.
"It disintegrated the planet." Trowa said softly.
"Damn." Duo said. WuFei murmured against Duo's ear.
" He paid, he paid dearly." WuFei whispered as he opened his eyes slowly.
"You're awake?" Duo asked.
"Thank you." WuFei whispered as he gazed into amethyst eyes that remained lost in his velvet eyes. WuFei turned away at he scrutiny that he received.
"You can kill me if you want." WuFei said as he rested his hand to his chest, a small green light resonating from his palm.
"What are you?" Heero asked.
"You don't need to know, believe me." WuFei said as he rose to his feet.
"Let him rest a while. Then he can talk." Duo said as he and Sally led WuFei to an empty room.
"Heero, let him be. Wolf, Bat and I will confer and help you solve this." Fox said as he un-mereged from Heero and went back into the amulet.
"Okay, we all need to talk. I propose a meeting." Dorothy said.
"Agreed. Go to the cafe and talk." Howard said as he headed back to the bridge.
"So Zechs, how's Relena?" Dorothy asked with a shy smile.
"She's fine." Zechs replied. Dorothy nodded and hustled everyone to the cafe, leaving Zechs with Hilde.
"I apologize for my behavior Hilde-san." Zechs said as he bowed.
"No biggie. Duo was pissed but I'm okay. Better go easy on Noin. She's one of those happy morning people." Hilde said as she smiled. Zechs laughed and the two caught up with the others. Soon, they were all talking and explanations were done.
Duo sat at WuFei's side as Sally checked his heart.
"Everything is fine. Let him rest okay?" Sally said with a smile.
"Sure Sally. I'll change out of this and get him a shirt. I'll be out soon." Duo said. Sally nodded and left. She could see a strong attachment between Duo and WuFei, but she was unsure of its nature. Duo took off WuFei's shirt and got a plain shirt and put it on the sleeping boy. Duo then took off his bloodstained shirt and put on his spare clothes. He removed his amulet and it glowed.
"What's he doing here?" Bat asked as he saw WuFei.
"He's resting. Why were you so spooked when you saw him?" Duo asked as he redressed himself.
"There's a presence in him that I sense. It's strong and deadly." Bat said as Duo put his amulet back on his neck.
"I know. I've seen him in a few of my dreams before. Don't worry." Duo said as he sat on the bed. He brushed ebony locks from the caramel face that seemed to be in a nightmare.
"Okaa-san..." WuFei whispered as tears slid down his cheeks.
"WuFei, I'm here." Duo whispered as he clasped WuFei's hands in his. WuFei cringed in his sleep, his tears following faster as he twisted, taking Duo with him.
"Damn, he's strong." Duo muttered as he removed his hand from WuFei's grasp. " It's a dream WuFei, wake up." Duo said as he shook the boy. Almond eyes snapped open and WuFei blushed suddenly.
"I'm sorry. Forgive me." He said as he sat up, a feather drifting on to his sheet. Duo noticed it. He reached out to touch it.
"Don't." WuFei said as he picked up the feather and it disappeared.
"What are you?" Duo asked.
"You don't want to know." WuFei replied. He caught sight of the amulet around Duo's neck and he held it, slowly tracing the pattern. Duo stared into velvet depths. Duo knew what he felt the moment he looked into those eyes. Unending love...
"WuFei, I...." Duo said.
"Bat." WuFei said as he read the name on the amulet.
"Bat? Oh that's my dragon's name." Duo said as he blushed.
"And you're Duo. Hilde spoke a lot about you. She didn't seem too crazy about the blond Zechs guy. She really disliked him." WuFei said as he shyly let go of the amulet which had pulled Duo closer to him.
"Treize was killed, as well as Une." Duo said as he forced himself from those mesmerizing eyes.
"They deserved it. After what they did." WuFei said.
"What did they do?" Duo asked.
"They thought that I wouldn't understand. He killed my mother." WuFei said as he rose from his bed and stared out the window. He noticed the faint green light that surrounded the ship.
"WuFei, I've dreamt about you, before I came to look for Hilde. My dream made one thing clear; you'll make me happy, forever." Duo whispered as he placed his hand on WuFei's shoulder. WuFei rested his head against the cold window.
"I... have also seen you in my dreams. The promise is the same." WuFei whispered as Duo's hands turned him around. Duo's eyes were dark. WuFei saw death in them and he stepped away.
"Fei." Duo whispered.
"Duo, I... to be near me... we shouldn't. I don't even know you." WuFei whispered softly.
"I can change all that." Duo whispered as his lips hungrily caught WuFei's... WuFei reluctantly let Duo start his explorations of his mouth. Duo wrapped one of his arms around WuFei's waist; the other caressed his almond-eyed love. Duo was lost in the entire sweetness of WuFei's lips and his tongue slipped into the moist cavern of WuFei's mouth. WuFei pushed Duo away from him, a darker fate in his own eyes.
"Duo, trust me." WuFei said as he pulled away from Duo and turned his back, forcing back his tears. He was the only one who knew; who knew his fate when he arrived on Earth, the only one who knew what the Chubu Dragon wanted... her child.
