Disclaimer: Don\'t own the guys. But if I did I know what *I\'d* do with them. What about you?
*raises eyebrow*

Notes: This is my first songfic so I would like to know what you think about it and if I did a good
job on it. I started writing this story on Halloween during my third period. I have also, already been
told by my friends that this story is completely sick minded and totally nasty. No need to tell me or
ask me if I am into satan or something because I can quite assuredly tell you I am not. Oh, and Duo
is my favoriundaundam boy so don\'t think that I don\'t like him or something, the story just kinda
unrolled the way it did. I do not recommend that you read this story if you are squeamish about:
gore, people doing satanic things, or the consumption of human blood by another human. But that
doesn\'t mean I can stop you from reading it.

Bloody Valentine


\"\'Oh my love, please don\'t cry.\'\" Relena spoke softly over the phone \"\'I\'ll wash my bloody hands,
and we\'ll start a new life.\'\" She was trying to be soothing while washing more blood down the sink.

‘I ripped out his throat And called you on the telephone To take off my disguise Just in time to
hear you cry.\'

All of this was going on over a phone call. The locations? Preventers Headquarters, and the
Maxwell-Yuy household. After the war, Heero and Duo had gotten married and bought a home on Earth.

The wedding turnut tut to be a spectacular event; that is, until Relena askeere ere his bride was
and pretended like Duo wasn\'t even around. Nobody there had paid the delusional girl much mind though.

It\'s been a year and since then and even though Heero couldn\'t see it, but he could imagine the scene
perfectly. Blood spattered everywhere. And a girl with long blonde hair, holding a reddened butcher
knife, standing at the phone but she was covered in more blood than even the walls. A body lying on
the ground. If you could still call it a body. The only thing distinguishable, the only thing untouched,
was the braid. That braid of chestnut silk. The braid, the same one he had run his fingers through
just that morning while he braided it for Duo.

Heero immediately set out with a few guns and called the police, so maybe they weren\'t as good as
Preventers but they would have to do.

‘There was, police and flashing lightse rae rain came down so hard that night!\'

It started to pour. Gushing rivers fell from the sky. //They\'re crying for him. All the angels in heaven
and probably God Duo believed in himself are crying cuz she\'s killed him.// Heero thought to
himself as he sped at 95 down the highway and towards his address.

The police arrived at his one-time home about thirty seconds after the ex- wing pilot. Too late in
Heero\'s eyes, too late to save the person he cared so deeply for. The only thing that mattered in his
life, that kept him going all the years of the war and the ones they thought they\'d live together for
after it ended. They were too late to stop Heero as well.

‘When you,
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time!\'

Heero stopped mid-step into the living room at what he saw. It wasn\'t what he had imagined. It was
a thousand times worse, mostly because this wasn\'t his imagination running wild. This was the truth
and it was reality.

There was his love, his heart and soul, everything he wanted, needed, or cared for at all; there he
was, in one lithe package with a long braided tail, strung from the ceiling. And not by just any old
rope, oh no, it was with his own beloved braid that he had been hung up by. There was a medium
sized hole in the upper left area of his chest. A hole perfectly cut to fit Duo\'s heart through.

‘And the headlines read
\"A lover died,
No tell-tale heart was left to find!\"\'

His body was cut and slashed at, both of his wrists had been slit. //So he wasn\'t killed quickly, he
was blooded; slowly and painfully.//Heero didn\'t want to contemplate it any further than that but the
soldier in him did inspections while the human side of him could only look on in dismay.

The look on Duo\'s face, Heero knew, would haunt his nightmares afresh for the rest of his life. //By
Kami Duo... What the hell did that psychopath of a woman do to you?// If you didn\'t know Duo,
then you would believe he put on the same face as is portrayed of Jesus at his crucifixion. But no, to
someone like Heero, someone who knew Duo, the look on his face showed all the angst and rage, all
of the hurt and pain, everything he had had to undergo in his life. Never could one person express
such emotion. The only place devoid of any feeling was his eyes. Duo\'s eyes were dark and listless.
Like doll\'s eyes. Empty and open. Unblinking, unknowing, and uncaring.

There were several smaller cuts and abrasions on the once nimble limbs. A road map of pain and
betrayal lined the torso and lower abdomen. One of the bigger slashes caught the former soldier\'s
attention. Hanging about three centimeters to the right of the hole, gas gash was in the shape of a
scythe, regardless of whether it was intentional or not, it resembled a scythe, the symbol of Duo\'s
much regarded name; Shinigami.

*~*

Duo is attempting to hold a conversation with Heero. Somehow in his inane chatter, Duo focuses on
his trademark for never being able to die.

\"Duo, you are human. It is physically impossible for you to never die.\" Heero retorts in a slightly
annoyed tone.

\"Oi Hee-chan! Don\'t you know that you can\'t kill death? I\'m the god of death and I\'ll always be
around. As long as there is death there will be Duo Maxwell! That is the decree of the \'Great Shinigami\'!

\"Baka.\" Wing\'s pilot grumbled and prepared to resume back to his work.

*~*

//You said you never lied either Duo. Well you lied to me. You did die, and now I\'m stuck here
without you. Duo why did you leave?!//

‘When you,
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died.
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time!\'

And there was Relena. Just sitting behind Duo\'s blooded corpse in a piece of perfectly white lingerie.
She was smiling an evil, lust filled smile. She was also wearing the most absolute red lipstick ever
made. Then realization dawned on thefectfect soldier as he switched his from Duo to Relena and
back again.

\"Duo\'s blood is on your lips.\" rolled from his own, untainted, lips and fell dully on the floor with a
silent yet deafening \'thump\'.

\"You know, his blood had a tangy, sweet taste to it. I thought it would be bitter,\" came the simple response.

Relena had talked as if she had just commented on the weather, not about drinking another person\'s
blood! Wide-eyed in shock, Heero was speechless as the psychopathic bitch continued.

\"\'Oh my love, please don\'t cry. I\'ll wash my bloody hands and we\'ll start a new life. I don\'t know,
much at all. I don\'t know wrong from right. All I know is that I love you tonight!\'\" Relena stood
up and sauntered cr tor to the stunned Japanese boy.

Finally reaching him, she touched his face. Wet, slimy blood riddled fingers aspired to trail a path to
his lips. But the attempt failed in the making as he pulled away in utter horror and disgust.

Police squads burst into the room and the few men suddenly stopped, which inevitably resulted in a
massive pile up of drooling guys. As a few of their gazes turned to look at Duo\'s body the rest
followed suite. More than just couple of the supposedly \'well-trained\' armed men turned their heads
to vomit at the site of the crime.

When the police had gotten their stomachs in order they rushed to arrest the psychopathic bitch stalker.

At the interrogation room.~~

Relena sat calmly at the desk, -still in the skimpy negligée`- while police investigators questioned
her as to her motive for the crime.

She pushed the chair to the wall and got up so serenely it was almost scaring the former killer of
thousands at a time, she walked over to the one way window. Knowing Heero was watching from
the other side she started to speak,

\"\'He dropped you off, I followed him home. Then I, stood outside his bedroom window. Standing
over him, he begged me not to do, what I knew, had to do, cuz I\'m SO IN LOVE WITH YOU!!!\'\"

The sergeants did their best to restrain Relena and then the highest officer in the room with Heero
questioned him as to what she could\'ve meant by her statement.

Heero responded quickly with the regret evident in his voice. \"During the war she wouldn\'t accept
the truth about Duo an I being in love. She kept insisting that I loved her. Of course her logic in it all
was built upon nonsense, so she started to stalk me. Hoping, I guess, that someday I would become
crazy enough to believe in the love between us that she always spoke of. I tried my hardest to ignore
and avoid her. She couldn\'t handle the rejection I guess.\"

He decided to leave then, he couldn\'t deal with listening to Relena scream insanely about her killing
Duo being necessary.

‘When you,
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine,
The night he died.
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine,
One last time!\'

At the Asylum ~ 37 days later

Heero strode down the sterile hall towards the white door at the end. It had taken more than a month
but he finally fooled himself enough to have faith that he could actually face Relena again.

Just two weeko tho the court judged Relena Peacecraft, former Queen of the World, criminally
insane, guilty of the charge of third degree murder, harassment, and sentenced her to 106 years in a
mental asylum.

Arriving at the pristine door, the guard escort immediately left as fast as his regulation would allow
him to after informing Heero of the rules. Heero tried not to notice as the guy nervously clutched at
hearheart as he left.

An unseen person opened the door electronically and the former gundam pilot at the cheap,
uncomfortable chair supplied. A pair of armed medical wards brought in a restrained, and puzzling
enough, pacified looking Relena to sit down on the opposite side of the unbreakable plexi-glass.

\"Why did you do it?\" five simple enough words to say. But the weight upon those five words was
infinitely heavier than could be imagined by one person.

\"\'Oh my love, please don\'t cry. I\'ll wash my bloody hands and we\'ll start a new life,\'\" Relena
placed her hand upon the glass and Heero could see the still prominent blood stains on her hand.
//Duo\'s blood.// His eyes became glazed for a second, than they were ice.

\"\'I don\'t know much at all. I don\'t know wrong from right.\'\"

\"That much is obvious,\" Heero rebutted with nothing but rage seething from his lips.

\"\'All I know is that I love you tonight!\'\"

\"Well I hate you, and I hope you burn and rot for eternity in the Hell Duo believed in. I don\'t beli in in anything anymore. Except death, death will always exist.\" //As long as there is death there will be
Duo Maxwell. But now all that\'s left of Duo Maxwell is memories.// Heero may have been able to
face Relena, but he couldn\'t stand to hear her talk about love. //She doesn\'t know shit about love!!!//
He continued to mentally scream repetitively (in, of course, many, many different languages) as his
chair scraped across the linoleum flooring.

\"WAIT HEERO! I want to tell you something. Something about what I did that night!\" Relena was
desperate to keep Heero in her presence as long as possible. And she knew in the tiny bit of sanity
left in her brain that this information was the only thing that would keep Heero with her.

\"What Relena? What could you possible tell me that I don\'t already know?!\" Heero was fuming, the
Peacecraft girl was surprised she didn\'t see smoke coming out of his ears. \"Did you know that I
talked to Duo?\" Relena would probably have been smug if she hadn\'t been terrified by Heero\'s death
glare aimed at her, \"You know... before I... umm.\"

\"Before you killed him, drank his blood, and then proceeded to *EAT* his *HEART*?!?!\"

\"H-H-Hai..\"she replied meekly.

Heero didn\'t want to let her go on but he did want to hear what Duo had to say. Although he was
shaky elieelieve whether or not Relena would speak the truth about it. He decided to go along with
it and see what would come of it.

*~*

A knock at the door summons Duo from his telephone conversation with Hilde about the scrap yard.
With a pleasant far well he hangs up and goes to see who came for to see him.

\"Ojousan? What a surprise. What do you want? Heero\'s at work and remember the restraining order,
not within 200 yards of Heero,\" The braided boy had no idea what to think of the Queen of the
World coming for a visit.

\"Hai Duo-sama, I remember. Actually I came here to see you,\" Relena was glancing around the
house, her eyes would stop momentarily on photographs of Duo and Heero together. But they
completely avoided the marriage ones.

\"You did?\" Now the ex-pilot was completely perplexed, \"How come?\"

\"I wanted to talk to you about your relationship with Heero,\" just continued to look around the
décor of the home wthinthinly veiled distaste.

Almost immediately Duo Maxwell-Yuy\'s expression changed from one of confusion to one of rock
hard anger. \"We\'re married Relena-sama! We have been for over a year! You may not want to
accept it but.\"

\"But I do accept it Duo-sama,\" Relena interrupted him with the curt reply.

\"Nani? Just now you\'re accepting our love for each other?\"

\"I accept the fact that the two of you are married. And I can accept the fact that Heero chose ove over me,\" the young Peacecraft girl had wandered into the kitchen, leaving a still bewildered Duo
stranded in the foyer, \"But I could never accept that Heero could love a street rat like you!!\"

Duo may have been trained, he may have been a gundam pilot, and he also may have been twice as
strong as Relena. But none of that mattered when she came whipped out of the kitchen screaming
and brandishing a large, very sharp cutting knife.

\"Heero can love only me.\"

*~*
I\'mI\'m sure you can fill in the rest.\" Relena had her head bowed and couldn\'t look Heero in the eyes.

\"Of course I can you, but answer me one thing.\"

\"Hai? What is it?\"

\"Why did you feel you had to eat his heart?\" Heero may have had enough rage at that very moment
to snap Wing Zero in half like a twig, but he repressed it so he would be able to hear Relena\'s answer.

\"Contrary to whatever the coroners may have told you Heero, I ate the heart first. You, du, during
our lengthy discourse he got to telling me that as part of your wedding vows to each other you said
that the other would always own your heart.\" A single tear made it\'s way down her face. \"I guess in
my episode of insanity I believed that if I ate Duo\'s heart I would own yours. I guess I got high on
the blood or something like that, because I felt like I needed more. So I slit his wrists and got more. I
couldn\'t help it, I got the impulse for mo\"Pl\"Please forgive me Heero! I went crazy! If I could I
would stop what I did! I really would!\" Now cascades were making their way past the ivory cheeks
to meet the floor. But Relena paid them no notice, she was pounding on the glass trying to get Heero
to acknowledge her.

‘I don\'t know much at all
I don\'t know wrong from right
All I know
Is that I love you tonight!\'

Wards came in to confine Relena and take her away. Right before she was shoved roughly through
the door Heero spoke up for the firsme ime in an hour.

\"Relena.\"

\"Yes!?\" she was struggling to stay in the room so she could gaze on Heero\'s beautiful features.

\"Like I said before, I hope burnburn in Hell for what you did to Duo you psychopathic bitch stalker
from Hell,\" And with that the ex-Wing pilot left the Asylum without a second glance behind him.

A month after the asylum~~

A lone figure clad in black approaches a gravestone and bends to kneel down iont ont of it.

\"Oh Duo I\'m sorry for everything; I\'m sorry I couldn\'t stop her, I\'m sorry for all the time I wasted
before I finally told you how I felt, I\'m sorry, mostly though, that I never killed Relena when I had
the chance.\"

‘When you,
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
The night he died.
When you,
You mourn the death of your bloody valentine
One last time...\'

Heero decided to take some of the roses that he planted on the grave site. For some strange reason, it
doesn\'t matter what color he plants, any flowers planted on Shinigami\'s grave bloom into the deepest
shade of black. //Perfectly Duo.// Heero thought as a smile warmed the Japanese boy\'s face. The first
one to grace it in a long time.

Owari~
