----------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------

I walked along the crowded streets of Cairo. Mortals milled about to buy things from the markets that surrounded me but I ignored them. I did not need to feed at the moment so all I felt was slight disgust that they were all touching me. Most had this thing about not bathing it seemed. I continued on my way avoiding their touch as much as I could until I came to an alley that was dark enough to hide my form as I jumped onto the roof of the local Inn.

I was searching, I knew it was probably hopeless. I was out to find the ancient vampire of legend. He was supposed to be the most powerful vampire still in existence and I wished to ask him many questions. I ran silently along the roof tops being careful to not be seen for more than a second.

My braid whipped about behind me and my eyes caught every beam of light my surroundings had to offer and reflected it like a cats. My hands hung loose behind me, dragged back by the wind, and the cloak that I wore flapped in the breeze.(1)

I raced along until I came to an area without any roof tops close together. I could still jump to another one but this was my destination so it would be stupid of me to do that. I had left messages along my journey telling Heero of where I would be and of what had been happening in the colony’s. I didn’t know if he would care but it gave me something to talk about.

I dropped from the roof as a blond head appeared in the crowd on the street. He made his way over to me and bowed politely. “Mortal.” my voice was quiet but agitated. I did not come to exchanged pleasantry’s with some mortal! I came to get information on Heero! I raged inside my mind as the mortal straitened and smiled at me.

“Forgive me good sir. I did not mean to agitate you so, my master has sent me to take you to his lair so you may speak without prying eyes and ears.” I was startled as over ten mortals sped quickly out of hearing range and the feeling of having eyes watching me diminished.

“Very well.” I mumbled unhappily and allowed the boy to lead me to a grand house that had several treasures in it. I had to fight back the urge to take some. I had been a thief when I was mortal but I guessed that some habits never left you.

The mortal had on white poofy pants and a white vest that exposed his chest. He was wearing gold colored shoes that were more like slippers and had several types of jewelry on various places of his body. All of it was gold. I could see a tattoo on his upper arm that was out of place with his Egyptian garb. A Japanese symbol for I believe heart is what it was and it was done in several colors, mostly different shades of red.

We entered a room and the mortal broke into a run as a vampire came into site. The blond attached himself to the vampires arm and smiled up at him adoringly. I ignored this for now in favor of observing the vampire.

He had a fall of brown hair that covered one amazingly green eye the other eye looking down at the mortal in a warm way though nothing of that emotion could be seen anywhere else. He had on a green shirt and black pants that contrasted nicely with his pale skin. A black cloak hung loosely from his shoulders fluttering in the breeze that gusted through the room.

“Monsieur, why don’t you have a seat?” he asked me motioning to a chair that had not been there a second ago. I sat quickly as he did the same and the mortal sat next to him on a cushion. I could have sworn this room had been empty but moments before though. Oh well, another thing to ponder at a later date then.

“My name is Duo Maxwell and I’m sure you already know why I am here.” I said coolly and the mortal frowned at me. I glared at him and the vampire frowned at me. Geeze what is with this? Is it frown at Duo cause he’s in a bad mood day? The vampires face smoothed out again and I realized that both him and the mortal were rather nice to look at. “My name is Trowa Barton and this is Quatre.” My eyes were wide, I know I looked like an idiot. I felt like one to. Trowa and Quatre were both ancient compared to my measly 100 years. They had both been around for at least 1000 years!

I wondered how Quatre, a mortal, had survived so long without being changed but put that with the other mysteries to be inspected later as well. “ How did that mortal survive so long!!?!!?!!?!” Or not. Quatre smiled amusedly at me and I had to bite my tongue to keep from saying something.

“I have never been a mortal Duo. I have always been an immortal since my berth(2) due to empathy. So long as emotions live I live. At least until someone kills me.” that last bit seemed to be in an amused tone as well and I came back to myself only to find my jaw hanging open. I quickly snapped it shut and turned my attention back on the vampire.

“You wish to find monsieur Heero correct?” Trowa asked with a raised eyebrow. I nodded and he stood up. Quatre stood soon after and they began to walk out of the room. I stood and was about to call to them angrily when the mortal turned and motioned for me to accompany them.

I followed with a flush as they walked briskly down a spiral stair case. It had gone completely dark, to where I could hardly see the outline of the two in front of me and I had to wonder how Quatre could see. A light appeared out of no where up ahead and we sped up to get to it. Trowa pushed a door open and I looked around a massive study that housed several coffins and thousands of books and scrolls.

A chocolate haired boy sat bent over an old scroll facing away from us. A Chinese looking man sat in white Chinese style clothing on a large cushion beside him reading as well. This one was a mortal and I could see another Japanese symbol on his arm in the same place as Quatre’s.

This one meant dragon and was done in blues with some gray and green mixed in. He looked up when we entered and glared fixedly at me. “What is it Trowa.” the vampire asked not even turning around or pausing in his reading. “This fledgling(3) wished to speak with you Heero.” he answered staring strait at me.

My eyes were even bigger than when I had learned of who my two guides were. My jaw was hanging open as I stared at the vampire still bent over his scroll. That was the legendary vampire?! Hey wait a second! Did he just call me a fledgling?! “As a matter of fact he did.” (4)

Heero had turned around and was watching me from his position in his chair. “If you leave your mouth open any longer you might catch a fly.” the Chinese man said smirking at me and I snapped my mouth shut again. I scowled at him but he just continued to smirk. “Hn. What is it that you wanted? The secret of the universe? How to eat without spilling anything on your clothing? Or my personal favorite, where do baby’s come from?” (5)

He was mocking me now I could tell. “Yes I am mocking you.” I blinked in surprise. “You can hear my thoughts?” he scowled at me and I winced. Erm…… “Yes I can. Now what is it you wanted so I can go back to my scrolls?” I thought for a moment. Yes I can think you pricks.

“Are we really the devils children?” I finally asked and all of them looked at me surprised. “That is quite possibly the smartest question anyone has ever asked me besides Trowa, Wufei, and Quatre.” he said obviously pleased with something. “The devil isn’t our father no. Believe it or not a scientist is. He mixed several different types of blood and chemicals and the first vampire was born. Of course he was quickly filled with the magic around him and that made him an arcane being.

“He is just as much a mythical creature as bigfoots are, only the vampire is real.” I nodded and he seemed even more pleased that I understood what he had said. “The sun will be up soon. You are welcome to stay for as long as you wish.” with that he began to clear the table of scrolls and other things.

Kao:: Hmmm I dunno how I like this one. Anyway here’s the little number things.

1-[My braid whipped about behind me and my eyes caught every beam of light my surroundings had to offer and reflected it like a cats. My hands hung loose behind me, dragged back by the wind, and the cloak that I wore flapped in the breeze.] Think Inuyasha when he runs, that’s kinda what it looks like.

2-[“I have never been a mortal Duo. I have always been an immortal since my berth”] Quatre was born like a normal person only he stopped aging when he was 18 and has lived with Trowa and Heero since he was supposed to be 22.

3-[“This fledgling”] Compared to 1000 years 100 isn’t going to look like much for a vampire is it?

4-[“As a matter of fact he did.”] that’s was Heero. He can read thoughts remember?

5-[ “Hn. What is it that you wanted? The secret of the universe? How to eat without spilling anything on your clothing? Or my personal favorite, where do baby’s come from?”] in another of my stories, which is not up on this nor any other site cause I don’t like the way it turned out, a 45 years old man asked Heero that when he was drunk and it annoyed him.

J:: Hehehe. HEY CATS! WHERE DO BABY’S COME FROM?!

Cats:: O_O You already know that J…..

Kao: >.O Where did you two come from?!

J:: Well when a mommy and a daddy love each other very much they---

Cats:: *has taped J’s mouth shut* @_@

Kao:: @_@
