Chapter 36

Nagi's eyes widened when he saw two of his saviors disappear in a wisp of darkness. Extending his powers, he traced them to another part of the house, and in a blink of an eye he was gone.

“Why don't you have the Weiss Kitties come out.” Crawford mused, a sadistic smirk crossed his angular face. “It's not like they are actually going to succeed in a surprise attack.

Fuming, Aya emerged, his katana ready to do battle. Omi followed, hesitantly, deeply concerned that his lover had teleported so abruptly. Anxiously, he fingered his darts. “Be careful…” He whispered, sending the wish along his soul-link.

“No worries.” The reply echoed.

Talia finished her explanation as to what she wanted the teenagers to do before lowering her shield. “There isn't much time.” She reminded. “He will die.”

“Y-You sure this will work?” Wu Fei asked, not taking his eyes from the still body on the bed. “Quatre said that he lost his ability to join with us when he saved Makubex's program… How do we know this isn't a trick?”

“You'll just have to trust me.” The vampire hissed, holding out her hands expectantly. “I thought you loved him?”

“Please, save him?” Nagi begged, appearing before the group. “I'll do anything to help. Just name it!”

“That's the attitude the Little Heart needs right now.” Talia growled, her patience running thin.

Trowa ignored the argument as he sat on the edge of the blonde's bed and carefully took the unconscious boy's hand in his own. Marveling at the frailness in those thin fingers, he pressed it against his chest. “Quatre?” He whispered, leaning close so that only the empath could hear his words. “You know I love you. You know that these last couple of weeks-months-have been a huge mistake. I never should have left, and I'm sorry. I'm so very sorry… I'm here now, and I'm not leaving you again. You don't have to be strong by yourself anymore, Little One. You can rely on me. Let me be here for you… Let me be your strength… rely on me and fight! Fight your weakness- Fight your limitations- Fight these losers that want your life! It belongs to you and they have no right to steal it from you! Fight!” He leaned down and kissed the boy's lips. “You're not fighting alone.”

Watching the banged teen's heartfelt plea, Wu Fei felt his own emotions surging to the point of overwhelming him. Swallowing, the Chinese teen was drawn to the other side of the bed. Mimicking the other pilot's motions, he gently took Quatre's other hand and held it to his own chest. “Quatre, you're stronger than this. You're a proud warrior and I know that you won't give your enemies the satisfaction of going down for the count. I'm sorry I'm such a heartless ass. I'm selfish and degrading, and yes, you were right… I am a liar… but I'm telling you the honest to God truth. No one has meant more to me than you. I've lost everything that I've held dear in my lifetime and damn-it, I will not loose you! Draw on my strength, Precious. Let me use my new-found gift to heal your pain. We will get through this together- the Three of us! You'll never be alone again.” He leaned down and placed his own kiss on the blonde's lifeless lips.

“You may not have to do anything.” Talia whispered to the telekinetic as they watched the trio on the bed.

Nagi held his breath as he watched as the empath began to glow.

The two teens were too consumed with pouring their hearts and souls into the lifeless shell that they loved to notice the change in the pale teen's aura. It became stronger and brighter as it spread to engulf them, encompassing them in a warm embrace.

And then a gasping breath was drawn, bringing life to a dead man.

Startled Onyx and Emerald eyes rose to meet with blinking azure.

“Quat…” They whispered in unified awe.

The smaller teen still was obviously very sick… but he looked alive. His skin had lost some of its paleness and regained a rosy tint. His dull hair had gained some luster and his eyes…

Simultaneously, they reached out for him pulling him into their arms.

Quatre's eyes were glistening with so much emotion. “D-Do you mean it?” He whispered, desperately looking from one teenager to the other.

“Every word.” They replied.

Aya stood beside the Gundam Pilots, his sword ready to do battle. “You can't keep playing with people's lives like this, Crawford!”

“I beg to differ.” The man replied haughtily. “The gods have granted me the unlimited power and resources in order to fulfill my mission.”

“And what would that be?” Duo snarled, his fists shaking at his side. His violet eyes flashed dangerously.

“Too soon to say.” The Oracle snorted, “It would ruin the surprise.”

“ENOUGH GAMES!” Duo's glare darkened as the air around the thin L2 street rat became thick and suffocating. Energy snapped, crackling in its intensity. The long rope of hair whipped about, lashing out at anyone who got too close. In his hand, a long scythe formed, its metallic sickle blade gleaming menacingly in the dim light.

Shinigami announced his appearance.
