Angel of Death: Reborn with a Vengance

Chapter 6
For the next few days, I was in a dream. My mind registered things that happened, but I was not paying attention. I was still going over what Duo had said to me. He cared, and every day that we worked together, he showed it. At times, it was too much, but I spoke to him about it after, when there were no nosy people around. His concern grew as I began to distance myself again form the others. I had found a lead on the newest weak points, and needed time alone to find it. I just got the last bit of information necessary when there was a knock on my door. “Come in!” I yelled as I did my little victory dance. I spun around only to see Duo staring at me as if aliens had abducted me. I let out a small giggle and said, “I got our next target. Here’s the paper work!” I turned around, only to have him spin me into his arms. I let out a small yelp, and he sat me on the bed. “Why were you so distant this week? We were worrworried.” His voice was thick with concern and worry. “We thought you were rejecting something or what not.” I looked at him with guilty eyes and said, “Sorry, but I normally worked alone, so when I did research, no one knew. It feels weird having to do this sort of thing with people. I didn’t mean to make you worry; I just like finishing my work alone at times. It’s like you and your Gundams. It takes a while before you’ll let someone give you a hand with them, and at times, you do it yourself anyways.” He looked at me and smiled. He told me how Sarah tried to explain it, but the others would not listen. He told me how they thought she might be telling tall tales, but by the way that I was acting, he just had to be sure. I gave him a small smile and said, “Let’s give this to the others; and I’ll tell them to trust Sarah a little more, if possible.”
When we got to the main lobby, Sarah ran up to me. She checked my forehead and let out a sigh. Since I was confused, she said, “Your face is all red. I was worried that you had a fever. I’m sorry, but they didn’t believe me.” I gave her a reassuring smile and gave the information to the group. Quatre looked at me and said, “Why were you so distant in the past few weeks? We were worried.” I gave a sheepish smile and told them what I had told Duo earliehey hey nodded in agreement, and I said, “Sarah promised me that she wouldn’t lie, so try to believe her. I know I would.” With that, I left the room to train. Duo’s words were still ringing in my mind, so I didn’t sense him following me. I entered the sparing room and it took a while before I could sense Duo’s ki. “What are you doing here?” I asked, catching my breath from my workout. He didn’t answer me, other than taking a few steps forward. “Duo, are you ok?” My voice shook with concern. His eyes held a predatory look in them, and I had a bad feeling about his actions. I realized his plan just before he jumped towards me, and I dodged it. Running out of the room, I sprinted towards mine. I got in, and managed to close the door before he could get in.
He banged on the door for a little bit, and tried to beat it down, but I was strengthening the door with my own energy. I tried to calm him, but he was reacting from something. My mind raced at what could be affecting him, but there was nothing in the legends about him acting this way. I began to wonder if his body was rejecting the position that he received. Suddenly, the banging stopped. I slowly got up and opened the door, only to have Duo barge in and slam it shut behind him. The look in his eyes frightened me, but I had to find a way to stop him. With my only exit blocked and locked, I turned to run from him. However, he was faster, and I was soon pinned to the wall. I was about to speak, when he kissed me again. This time no memories flashed, but he still held me tight. I melted into his arms, and felt him smirk against my lips. Before I could pull myself together, he pulled away. “Duo…?” I was confused. The legends never said anything about the God of Death desiring the Angel. He looked at me and said, “I always wanted something or someone to call my own. Now that you’re here, I can actually do it.” He nuzzled my neck, and began to nip my earlobe. I began to whimper, knowing what he wanted what I could not give to him. I had to understand my heart before I could do that. “Duo, I need some time, please.” I gasped as he began to suck on my neck. “Please, give me a little bit of time. I don’t understand.” He stopped and looked at me with critical eyes and asked, “Understand what?” I looked at him, and whispered, “My heart.” He let out a sigh and stepped back. “One week, and I’ll ask you again.” He left the room, and said, “I won’t force what you don’t understand, so after one week, I’ll try again.” I slumped against the wall, and began to ponder my own heart.
The week went by quickly, but before Duo could ask me again, an attack came fourth from OZ. The five Gundams suited up as I distracted the Mobile Dolls. They were predictable and I was able to eliminate them easily. My attacks were accurate and before the Gundams even reached the battle, over half of the attacking force was destroyed. I had just turned to fend off a suit from behind, when I was captured in a net. I didn’t realize that I could scream that loud, since anything made of glass shattered. I tried to get free, but the rope clung to me. I decided not to panic, and used my BSM to find out how I could destroy the netting. Within seconds, I transformed into my cat form and clawed through the ropes. As I was falling, I changed back into the Angel of Death and continued my assault. They didn’t realize that I was back on the field, until they saw rays of fire. My blood was on overload, and they knew that if they didn’t retreat, none of them would be spared. Since I knew that there was no pilots in the Mobile Dolls, I charged the troops on the ground. They were slow and I was in the mood for a blood bath. I could feel all of my excess attributes growing. My claws, my horns, my tail, my wings, and I was growing fangs. The look on the faces of the enemy made me smile with malice, I could smell their fear, and it was enlightening the two demons within me. I launched a powerful attack at the main cannon and removed several of the anti-aircraft launchers. I still allowed one man to live, but even if he died, his soul was insane now as well.
I landed not far from our main base, and tried to transform back. It didn’t work. My blood was still on hyper mode, and I could not control my sense of direction. I used my BSM to scan the area for the guys, but I could not find them anywhere. Soaring into the sky for a better range, I tried again, and found myself face to face with the Death Scythe. My brain didn’t register hntilntil I tried to attack him. Within moments I had landed and waited for Duo to come down. I saw him in a clearing, and took a step forward. Within twenty paces of him, my body decided to release all forms of energy, leaving me drained. My transformation happened immediately and I collapsed to the ground. The last thing I remembered was Duo catching me.
I woke to a duet of a flute and a violin. Since my room was dark, I guessed it was in the late evening. I slowly opened my eyes and saw Duo, Trowa and Quatre sitting by my bed. The three were so into the music that they didn’t notice that I had awoken. I continued to listen and when they finished, I clapped. “I feel so honored.” I said sarcastically, “I get a live performance and a boy guard, while I sleep. I feel so loved.” I rolled my eyes and began to giggle. The three of them looked like they were about to kill me, but I clapped and said, “For the time I was awake, it was a really good performance. I just wish I had heard all of it.” Duo began to chuckle and said, “I need to talk to her alone. When I can be certain that she’s back to normal, everyone can come and see her.” Trowa and Quatre left the room and Duo’s face went from happy to serious. Before he could ask, I explained it to him. He didn’t realize that my blood could cause so much damage, when provoked. If it realizes that it is just destroying machines and not removing the pests that should be removed, then it has no mercy for those who are living. Duo seemed to understand, but he checked me over again. However, his eyes took on the predatory look that he had when he was talking to me the week before.
My heart was racing, but it wasn’t in fear. I loved the look he gave me, and it made me feel free. I had remembered once that if the Master chooses his Servant to be his “mate” (wife) then, the Servant becomes an equal, and is freed. My mind was for it, but my heart was still searching. I never entered a situation where Duo would be hurt, but if he left, would I really go crazy? He seemed to sense my dilemma, and said another week. He realizes that this takes time, but buy his predatory ways, I can’t help but think that he cares for me more than a mere servant. As he was leaving I said, “Duo, why do you sit by me when I rest from a battle?” He turned around and simply said, “To keep you company while you sleep, and to be there if you need it. Why?” I told him it was nothing, but I think I saw his eyes flicker again. It took a while before my heart left my throat and went back to a regular rate. I looked at the door one more time, and decided that until I could make up my mind, I would speak to Sarah, Kim and Denise about how I act around Duo.
It took me three days after my second week to find out how I act around Duo compared to the others, and it seems that we flirt a lot. Sarah probably had an idea why I was asking that, but we soon heard an explosion. I ran outside and saw Duo unconscious, and several Mobile Dolls headed our way. My mind and heart screamed in agony, and before I realized what was going on, I had already begun attacking the suits. There were ten suits in total, but in my disarray, I missed more than I could hit. I concentrated on revenge for hurting Duo, and I was willing to do more than just destroy the Mobile Dolls. One by one they fell to my sword, and I managed to get all ten. Before checking on Duo, I scouted the area, and kept in mind what had happened to Duo. I landed in the forest and looked at my hands. If only I had paid attention to where he was going and if I had only looked at my BSM. If I had done that Duo would be fine! I continued to blame myself, and took out my anger on the two trees in front of me. In my anger, I didn’t sense someone coming behind me, until they touched my shoulder. I spun around only to see … Duo.
