A/N: This mini update is especially dedicated to The Falcon, my very first reviewer, as that one review removed my writer\'s block and inspired me to continue. ARIGATO!!
Part two-b
Duo sat in the study, twirling the ruby wine in his goblet. His eyes however, were fixed on Wufei. There was an intensity in them, a banked fire hiding in the violet depths. The big clock behind him chimed. Two a.m.
Wufei jumped and looked at the clock with wide midnight eyes. He then turned his gaze toward Duo whose resolute study of him had never wavered. He gulped under that unblinking stare and, nearly stuttering, started to babble.
“Um… it’s late. Maybe we should… go to bed? I-I mean… to sleep. That is if you’re tired. Do you get tired? I mean-“
Duo smirked though his eyes still didn’t waver. “Wufei-“
The black haired boy swallowed again. “H-hai?”
“That’s enough. You’re tired. Go to bed.”
Suddenly the young necromancer felt his eyelids droop and he yawned. “You’re right. Maybe I should-“ and he was cut off by another large yawn.
Duo watched silently as the mortal succumbed to the power of his suggestion and slipped into a deep sleep. His quiet laugh sounded sinister in the nearly silent room as his sharp ears picked up the sound of Wufei’s gentle steady breathing and slowing heartbeat. He picked the other up out of his chair and cradled him gently in his arms as he carried him to his bed.
“Soon my dear.” His voice whispered through the darkness and shadows shuddered in fear. “Soon I will claim what is mine and I will truly be free.”
Shinigami carefully tucked the black haired boy into his bed and turned glowing violet eyes toward the window. The moon was half-full and waning quickly. Seeing this he laughed again, sounding even more ominous than before.
“Yes. It will be soon.” The door shut behind him with a soft ‘snick’.
*****
Concerned aqua eyes looked into calm green. “The moon will soon be new. If he completes the unbinding there is no way that he can be controlled again.”
The God of the Earth, Lord of the Second Gate, regarded his lover placidly. “This is true. But there is a chance this time that his imprisoning may not be necessary.
“What?? Trowa how can you say that?? You know what happened last time! He very nearly destroyed the entire world before we caught him!!”
“There is still that chance lover. This time there is something different, Quatre.”
“He’s right you know.” A new voice interrupted.
“Heero!” The Gods of Earth and Light whirled to face the newcomer.
Lord of the Fourth Gate, God of Fire, smirked lightly at his two friends. “Snuck up on you didn’t I? But, as I said before, Trowa is correct.”
Quatre growled and his light grew brighter, almost completely obscuring his aqua eyes. “Just WHAT makes you think that?”
“Look at him.” The three turned back to the scrying pool that they were using to keep track of the wayward God of Death. “What do you see about him that is different?”
“Anou… nothing??”
“Quatre-“ Heero sounded mildly disappointed. “Where is he?”
“Earth?”
“And who is he with?”
“A necromancer?”
“And what is wrong with that picture?”
Quatre thought for a minute. “He’s still alive!”
“Exactly. Why is that do you suppose?”
“Because he needs him to complete the unbinding.”
“No.”
Two voices in chorus. “No?”
“Look at how he treats him. If he only wanted him to complete his unbinding then why does he treat the necromancer like spun glass? Why watch him to see if he’s tired or put him to bed so gently?? He genuinely has feelings for that little mortal, whether he knows it or not.”
“-and that gentlemen will be the key to his recapture.” Another new voice, this one deep and smooth brushed over their skin like a warm breeze.
“Milliardo!” Heero moved into his lover’s arms. “I’ve missed you love.”
The God of Wind smiled down at his love. “I’ve been checking up on our lost Shinigami also, koishii.” He looked toward Trowa and Quatre. “And it seems that I must agree with Trowa and Heero, Quatre.”
The smaller blond pouted at being so completely outvoted. “Alright, alright. Why now?”
Milliardo flickered a hand and a small wind brushed long platinum blond hair back off of a perfectly featured face. He smiled. “Simple, my dear God of Light. If he cares enough for this mortal to not kill him outright, with or without the unbinding spell, then we use the mortal as bait. Go to him. Convince him that Duo MUST be recaged. No release, no finished unbinding. And Duo goes right back into his little sealed cell.”
One relieved sigh, one smile, and one uncertain look were turned to the taller blond god. “One more thing…” Trowa started.
Milliardo turned ice blue eyes on the bewildered sounding banged boy. “What’s that?”
“How exactly did this necromancer breach that seal? Wasn’t it supposed to be completely unbreakable??”
Eyes widened and four faces took on a very worried cast.
“Yes…” Milliardo breathed. “It was.”
