PART 2

“Wha.. what happened? Where am I? Cyprien? What’s going on?”
“This is all in your head Duo.. You’re dreaming..” Cyprien whispered as she ran her fingers down the white lace curtains. She seemed to be looking for something out the window. Duo watched as snowflakes hit the window. Cyprien turned from the window and faced Duo. Duo looked around the hotel room. Only he and Cyprien were in it.

“Even though you are in complete control of this dream, *I * cant be controlled by your thoughts. I’ve entered your mind Duo, but I can’t stay long.” Cyprien walked to the bed and jumped up and down on it like a little child.

“It’s fun, isn’t it Duo..” Cyprien whispered as she continued to jump on the bed. “Being human.” Cyprien got off the bed and began slowly walking towards Duo, touching everything in her path.

“Being able to smell flowers..” Cyprien ran her long fingers through the petals of the white roses on the table. “Feel pain..” She stopped in front of Duo and ran her fingers down the back of Duo’s neck. Her eyes showed she was enjoying teasing Duo.. She was loving it. “Even touch the ones we love..”

“I’m not afraid,” Duo said confidently. He looked at Cyprien suspiciously. Cyprien continued to smile, even though that look in her eyes she got when destroying OZ bases had gone.

“I know what you are Duo. I’m surprised you haven’t figured out what I am yet. After all, we were both created to be something higher than that of a human.. yet, we both craved the desire to be human. Who would’ve thought.. shinigami wanted to be human..” she giggled. “I never would’ve thought you’d do it... for him..”

“The other pilots are human, but their souls are special. They’re all special. Quatre can sense emotions, Trowa has the healing touch, Wufei can read a souls future and past.. and Heero.. well he’s more special that all of us could ever imagine..”

“Cyprien?” Duo whispered. “Who.. What are you?” Duo watched as Cyprien leaned forward until she was nose to nose with him. His violet eyes looked into her bright green eyes.

“You’ll find out soon enough,” s,” she said childishly. She walked away from Duo, then there was another flash of light.
“No! Wait!!” Duo called, reaching out his arm.

**flashback **

“Duo.. Are you sure this is what you really desire?”
“Yes.”
“Enlighten me. Why are you doing this again?”

Duo tightened his grip on the black metal rod. He looked up at the blade at the end of it, looking at his own reflection.

“I want to be human. I want to feel pleasure, sensations.. and above all love. I want someone to love. Someone to love me back. I want to feel alive!”

‘I need to see that boy again. I need to be loved by him.’ Duo thought to himself. He remembered the day he first saw Heero; a mere 13 year old boy, barely escaping from the wreckage of the burning OZ base.

**end flashback **

“Duo.. Duo!! Hello! Earth to Duo!!.. Wufei, he’s not waking up!”
“Cy.. Cyprien?” Duo mumbled as he opened his eyes. He looked up to see Wufei and Cyprien crowding over him on the large king size bed. “What happened?” He asked as he sat up.

Wufei rolled his eyes.
“The bastard took the laptop and let off a flash bomb. It practically blinded all of us for who knows how long.”

Cyprien sat on the bed, facing Duo.
“We got worried because you were unconscious when we got our sight back. What happened to you Duo?”
Duo saw the same cheeky look in her eyes that he had seen in his dream.. if it *was* a dream.

Wufei huffed.
“I’m going to check on Zechs and Treis. If I’m not back in 5, then the damn perverts have got me..”

Cyprien and Duo laughed as Wufei closed the door behind himself. Cyprien turned back to Duo.
“I had this dream.. I don’t think it was a dream. It felt too real to be a dream.” Duo whispered. “You were in my head Cyprien.”

“I know,” Cyprien whispered. The American boy’s eyebrows drew closer to each other.

“What are you? Really?”
“You wouldn’t believe me if I told you.. on second thoughts.. yes you would.”
“Then why wont you tell me?” Duo put his hand on ien’ien’s shoulder. Cyprien looked away.
“Because I promised Heero I wouldn’t.”

* * * *

“Well if it isn’t our favourite Dragon.. Wufei, come to join us have you?” Treis smiled.

“You wish Treis. It’s perverted enough having to see you with Zechs.. and now you want *me* to join you.. disgusting..”

“Wufei.. trust me when I say that we have no idea who that was that came in and took the laptop.” Zechs said. Zechs looked at Treis who was tied on the other end of the bed head.

“Hmm.. we’ll see..” Wufei crossed his arms. Duo and Cyprien entered the room and picked up their backpacks.

“Have fun guys, I think we’re going to go now and clean up your mess.. again! Too bad I haven’t got a camera right now.. no one would believe me when I said that we caught you two getting jiggy with it when we came in before!!” Duo laughed.

“They were getting on?” Cyprien squealed as they exited the room. “I can’t believe I missed it!!”

Wufei, Cyprien and Duo exited the room and shut the large white double doors behind them.

Treis and Zechs looked at each other, then the door.
“Er.. Guys, aren’t you going to untie us? Dragon!! Untie us now!!”

* * * *

“Relena get away from the window. It’s not safe.” Relena sighed and closed the large crimson curtains.

“Oh Heero, when is all this going to be over?”
“I don’t know Relena.. I don’t know..”

**ring ring **

“yes.”
“Heero, we’ve got a problem..” Duo mumbled.
“How big a problem Duo?”

Relena turned from the curtains to face Heero.
“Heero, what is it? What’s wrong?”

Heero hung up the phone and put it back in his pocket.
“We’ve got to get you out of here.. now.”

* * * *

“Looks like Quatre and Trowa wont be meeting us at the safe house,” Cyprien said as she hung up the phone.

“Why?”

“Quatre and Trowa are in space trying to bring down a new resource satellite the White fang have been using to b new new mobile doll models.”

“Shit.”

* * * *

[Cyprien’s safe house: London, England]

“So what happened?” Heero crossed his arms.
“He got away. We tried to track him, but for the three of us to not find him means he knows how not to be found..” Duo muttered.

Heero grabbed Wufei by the arm and pulled him into the next room.
“Wha.. Heero! Let go of me!” Wufei shouted, grabbing Heero’s arm. He tried to wrench himself free, but Heero’s grip was too strong.

Duo, Relena and Cyprien watched as Heero dragged Wufei into the next room.
“What’s he doing?” Duo asked Cyprien.
“You’ll see. Remember when I said we all have our own special gifts?”
“Yeah.. what are you getting at? What? Like Wufei’s going to know where he’s going to be next?”
“You got it..” Cyprien smiled.
“How’s that possible?” Relena asked.
“I’ll explain later Relena.”


Heero pulled Wufei into the kitchen and pushed him against the wall.
“I know what you can do, and I know you could probably read that guy’s soul when he came in and ambushed you guys.. So tell me what you saw Wufei..” Heero grumbled.

“How did you.. oh never mind..” Wufei muttered. “He’s going to be at the world conference tonight to set a bomb that will go off when Relena speaks. I saw him.. he’s going to plant the bomb under the stage tonight..” Wufei whispered.

“And when were you planning to tell me this?” Heero grumbled as he let go of Wufei’s shirt. Wufei’s eyes narrowed ad he watched Heero exit the room.

“Heero, How’d you know that I can read souls?” Wufei asked.
“I didn’t. Cyprien told me. We’ve all got our own gifts.. It’s a pity none of us want to share them with the others. Together we can take down Treis and Zechs in one go.”

“What’s going on?” Relena asked as Heero entered the room.
“We’re leaving. We’re going back to the world conference tonight. We’ll get the first flight to Russia as soon as we get to the airport. Now lets go.” Heero commanded. The others complied and they got into Duo’s black hoodless jeep and headed for the airport.

* * * *

[flight to Moscow Russia: economy class]

“Heero.”
“Shh.. Relena’s asleep.”
“We need to talk.”
“What about?”
“I need to talk to you, Cyprien and Duo in private, now.”

“What’s this about Wu?” Duo asked as he absent-mindedly chewed on his braid.
“Heero says we all have our own gifts. Now somehow Cyprien managed to find out I can read souls, now that my secret’s out, what can you guys do?”

Duo opened his mouth to speak, but was cut off when he felt Cyprien’s hand on top of his.
“Firstly Wufei, there are some things people, including all of us, are not ready to know yet.. these things will reveal themselves when the time is right.”

“Well I don’t have time to wait, so if you don’t mind, I’ll find out for myself,” Wufei grumbled as he grabbed Cyprien’s upper arms.

“Wufei, let me go!” Cyprien said sternly. “Now, or I’ll have to hurt you.” Wufei could see in her eyes that she wasn’t joking.

Wufei tightened his grip.
“No. No more secrets Cyprien.” Cyprien felt as if something was taking hold of her.

“What the.. I cant move..” Cyprien could barely mumble.

“Wufei, what are you doing?” Duo asked. He put his hand gently on Wufei’s shoulder.

Suddenly a surge of energy shot through Duo and Wufei. Heero watched as Cyprien shot her head back, her chin length cherry-brown locks began flying up as if there was ad mad machine in front of her.
Duo and Wufei closed their eyes and revealed Cyprien’s past..

** visions from Cyprien’s mind**

“Cyprien, you agree to protect this one?”
“Yes.”
“Protect him and do whatever you can to protect his soul from darkness and evils. This one’s special. When he dies, he will become a guardian angel, such as yourself. This happens very rarely for a human to become an angel. If he becomes evil, he will not join us. Understand?”
“I understand.”
“Now go and protect him to the best of your abilities.”

Heero ran across the large green park and scaled the large metal fence. He did not see Cyprien sitting on top of the 10 foot fence next to where he jumped over. She smiled and watched as Heero talked to the little girl and her dog Mary.

Heero flipped the switch and the base exploded. Just before he began to head back to Dr J, when two mobile suits exploded. One fell back onto the adjoining apartment building.

“No!!” the Japanese boy yelled as he ran towards the building. A piece of shrapnel flew out and pierced Heero through the chest. Overcome with the sharp pain, Heero fell to the ground, lying in his own puddle of blood.

A black figure watched everything from above on a cloud.
“Better get back to work,” the black winged figure said. He swooped off the cloud, his long chestnut braid trailing behind.
He landed on the ground, only a few feet from the dying Heero.
“Time to put your soul to rest,” the black figure said. He lifted his scythe, ready to set Heero’s soul free.

Suddenly a tall, slender figure, dressed in deep blue flew in and landed between Heero and death. She spread her large, white, feathery wings out to block Heero and grabbed the scythe.
“You can’t have this one,” she demanded. Her bright green eyes looked into the leathery winged figure’s violet eyes.

“No. He’s dying. I have to set his soul free or else he’ll become a lost soul.” The chestnut braid swung from side to side as the dark figure shook his head.

Cyprien let go of the scythe.
“It’s not his time yet,” she whispered. She turned her back on the braided boy and knelt down next to the dying Heero. She placed her hands on Heero’s chest. The wound and the blood began to disappear. The stoic boy gasped loudly as he regained consciousness. He looked up but could not see the two figures standing next to him.

“Is somebody there?” Heero asked. He looked from side to side, unable to see anybody around. “I can smell the flowers again.”

“He’s beautiful,” the braided boy whispered in aw. Cyprien nodded.

“So is his soul. That’s why I have to protect him. He’s going to become a hero for humanity soon,” She said as Heero began to leave. She faced the braided boy and placed her hand on his shoulder.
“Even though you will remember this moment, you will not remember seeing *me*.”

There was a flash of light.

“You know Cyprien, the way you’re obsessed with the wars, you should’ve been an archangel. You would’ve made a great angel of war.

Cyprien looked at the dark haired man sitting next to her. She then looked down from the rafters and watched Heero learn how to create a bomb.
“Like you? The angel of chaos and war. Wanna put in a good word for me with the guys upstairs?” Cyprien smiled.

The blue eyed man smiled. He put his arm around Cyprien.
“If you want to be an archangel, you never know. If you protect this one to the best of your abilities, you never know..”

There was another flash of light.

“Build me a gundam.” Cyprien said.
“What makes you think you’re worthy enough to be a gundam pilot? Eh child?” Dr J adjusted his goggles.
“I may be a child, but if you want to see how good I am, train me and you’ll see. There’s more to me than meets the eye.”

**end of Cyprs mes memories **

“Whoa!” Duo uttered as he let go of Wufei’s shoulder. “What a rush.”
Cyprien fell to the floor.

“She’s unconscious,” Heero said as he knelt down to see if she was alright.

“Mmm.. Heero?” Cyprien mumbled as she came to.
“What happened?” Heero asked. He helped Cyprien to her feet.

“Like I said. No more secrets,” Wufei said stubbornly.

Duo rubbed his fore head.
“I’ve got the biggest head spin! I’m going to sit down,” Duo said as he walked back to his seat, leaving Wufei, Heero and Cyprien behind.


* * * *

“I don’t get you Cyprien. You told me what everyone’s gifts are except for Duo’s. Why?” Heero crossed his arms as he leant back against the wall.

“It’s not my place to tell. If you love him the way he loves you then you have to let him tell you himself.”

Heero glared at Cyprien.

“Why wont you show me what they saw. I know Wufei’s too stubborn to tell and Duo.. Well..” Heero drifted off.

“Drop it Heero. I’m your Guardian Angel. That doesn’t mean I have to take orders from you.”

“You’re human now remember. As long as you’re a Gundam pilot, and on this mission, I want to you follow my orders.” Heero stood upright. “Now tell me what’s Duo’s gift?”

“I’m outa here Heero. By the way, you should be asking ‘what is Duo?’” Cyprien scolded as a white mist encircled her and with that she disappeared.

‘I hate it when she does that. Can you hear me Cyprien!’ Heero thought to himself.

“Yeah yeah, I heard you, I’m not deaf you know!” Heero could hear Cyprien’s voice, but not with his ears.. he heard it in his head.
Heero rolled his eyes and went back to his seat next to Relena who was fast asleep. Duo and Wufei, who were sitting in the seats in front of Heero, stuck their heads over their seats to face Heero.

“Where’s Cyprien?” Duo asked.
“Gone. She got pissed off and left. I’m assuming she’s already at the meeting and is waiting for our new enemy there.”
“Gone? What? Did she parachute off the plane or something?” Duo asked sarcastically.

“Long story. Remind me to tell you about it later.” The stoic boy responded. Heero got up from his seat and headed for the toilets. Duo looked at Wufei then followed Heero.

Just as Heero was shutting the door to the toilet, Duo jumped in also and shut the door behind him. Duo leaned back on the door and grabbed Heero’s collar, pulling him nose to nose with Duo.

“You know Heero, we haven’t had any quiet time to ourselves lately..” Duo whispered before licking Heero’s earlobe.
Heero wrapped his arms around Duo’s waist and pulled him close.

“You’re right.”

* * * *

‘Pfft! How can I tell Heero that Duo is death? Well.. *A* death.’ Cyprien thought to herself. She stood on the top balcony in the meeting hall where the world meeting was going to be held.

‘Where are you.. come out come out.. ah.. right on time..’

A tall figure, all dressed in black crept through the back door to the stage. The figure lifted up the trap door on the stage floor, ready to jump through.

Cyprien smiled as a white mist encircled her. As the mist faded away, Cyprien was dressed in a deep blue sleeveless top and pants. Behind her were two large, feathery wings, white as the snow outside.

She swooped off the balcony and landed behind the black figure. Her black boots making a loud thud sound, which startled the intruder. Just as the figure turned around, Cyprien raised her hand in front of the intruder’s face and whispered “Sleep.”

* * * *

“Hello?”
“Cyprien? Where are you? We’re at the center, but there’s no one here.”
“I’m at the Nova hotel, Duo. Room 54. I’ve got someone you guys should meet.”

* * * *

“Honey! I’m home!!” Duo yelled as he, Heero, Wufei and Relena entered the hotel room.
“About time guys,” Cyprien smiled. Heero glared at her.

“Look, I’m sorry Heero. I caught him didn’t I?” she shrugged. They entered the bedroom and found a tall dark-haired man tied up to the 4 post bed. “I looked into his records. His name’s Gabriel, and has been in Zech’s command for the last 3 months.”

“I haven’t begun to interrogate him yet. And I caught him before he put the bomb under the stage, like you said he would Wufei.”

“Can I do the honors of interrogating him?” Duo smiled. “It’s my specialty.”

“I guess.”

“Cyprien.. did you check to see if he’d planted any other bombs before you left the hall?”

“Yeah. But I didn’t find anything. Why?” Cyprien asked.
Heero shrugged.

“This looks too easy. Let’s go and check it out again,” Heero instructed. He then turned to Wufei.

“Wufei, you and Relena stay here. We’ll be back soon,” Heero held Cyprien’s hand. “Let’s go there the fast way.”

Cyprien smiled. A white mist circled around Heero and Cyprien until they were completely covered. As the mist faded, Wufei could see they had disappeared.

“How did she do that?” Relena nearly fainted. Wufei turned and smiled.

“She’s his guardian angel. I guess she’s not so weak after all.. How about a game of chess?” Wufei smiled as he pulled a chess board out of his back pack.

“You carry one with you?” Relena asked, shocked.

“Don’t ask.”
