Part 4

"Uhh!" Heero's back hit the ground sliding against the dirt until slamming into a big tree. The boy quickly recovered and rolled to dodge the red twigs that threaten to rip him apart.

/Blood… I need blood…/

The voice echoed all around him, like someone whispering a mantra.

Heero found a stick lying near his feet and reached for it, gripping its base tightly before he used it to parry the approaching bloody twigs. Another horde of red twigs immediately attacked him from the other side and Heero duck behind a tree in time. Heero knew, those evil things were controlled by someone…no, something…

He had to find the center of that power and eliminated it. Defending like this was tired him; he knew he would run out of energy before long.

The boy swiftly rolled aside as even more crimson twigs rushed toward him. They penetrated a tree he recently stood before. Heero tried to focus his senses. He knew the controller of these red sticks was not far away. A powerful entity resonated from the left of him. Heero snapped his head to large blood-red tree, the biggest one.

That was it!

The boy dashed away from yet another cluster of the sardine attackers and hurled the sharp stick toward the big tree. It struck the target and a loud agonizing snarl echoed through the forest.

/How dare you human!/

Heero felt the ground shake beneath his feet and the tree in front of him started to transform.

"Huh!" Heero gritted his teeth. If he had his sword this crimson demon would have been slashed to pieces by now. The chocolate hair boy retreated back as the branches of the tree before him became bigger and longer. Sharp thorns appeared all over the dangerous branches as more appeared from the trunk of the tree.

/You will die…/

"So come at me and we'll see." Heero hissed lowly and seized another stick to be his weapon, blind to its true color.

He heard ugly laugh resound from the tree and before he realized its evil plan, the stick in his hands suddenly changed its shape and circled around his wrists. The binds tugged him to the ground and he was forced to his knees. Heero gasped, in surprise rather than pain, as the sharp needle-edge of the stick prick lightly on his wrist. Heero only had a second to disregard the minor damage his attacker inflicted before its true effect kicked in. As the boy tried to stand up, a sharp pain streamed through his blood and stung his entire body from inside.

"Argggggg!!!" Heero yelled loudly and capsized to the floor completely. `Poison!' His mind registered. He tried to move his arm but pain clutched his every muscle when he tried to move.

"Uhhh…" Heero laid panting on the clayey surface. He couldn't move, he couldn't go anywhere. Every time he tried intense pain would surge through his entire body. Its power so strong it nearly over took his mind and sight.

/I'll drink your blood… drying you slowly…/ An evil laugh echoed around him once again. /…painfully./

Heero saw one thorny branch lift up and point at him. The boy closed his eyes, knowing his end was coming. Heero heard the branch tear through the air, threatening to end his life. He sensed it, the sound of human flesh being pierced, the smell of blood… he just didn't feel it…

Heero slowly opened his eyes and was shocked to see somebody kneeled before him. The crimson branch penetrated his body instead, dripping said person's blood from its tip.

"Are you ok?" Violet eyes stared down at him. Heero tried to sit up, but sharp pain flared throughout his entire body. The boy gasped and completely dropped back onto the ground, his vision was blinded. Heero heard a soft angry curse come from above as his consciousness slowly left him.

/Another fool human…/ The hoarse voice remarked in satisfaction. /More prey… more blood…/ The red demon lifted its branches, positioning itself, ready to hurl them to its new target.

"I don't think so." Duo reached behind his back and grabbed the thick branch that still remained in his body with one hand.

/What…?/

The braided demon firmly pulled the branch out of his body. He stood up and turned to his enemy. His violet eyes glowered darkly at the red tree. His appearance was presented to the sardine demon.

/You… are not human…/ The voice became dry as its owner as it realized its mistake.

"You touched my property. Your life is the price to pay."

/You… you are… no… please forgive me…/

"Too late." The cold voice whispered deeply and Duo tightened his grip on the branch.

In Heero's foggy mind, he could hear a loud slash followed by an antagonizing scream before everything was blanketed in silence. He tried to move but terrifying pressure charged through his every nerve. Damn it! What kind of poison did that demon use on him? He normally could stand any pain but this one was too intense, it could stop his every movement and almost his breathe.

"Heero, are you alright?" A familiar voice softly whispered above him. Heero could not answer back; he could not speak. Two arms gripped him securely. "Hold on." That voice whispered beside his ear. Heero felt it when his body was removed from the cool ground into a warm embrace.

`Who is that?' Heero tried to veil away the pain and think rationally. The boy slightly opened his eyes and saw the familiar long braid swing behind the person's back as he was rushing on out of the crimson forest, almost running. Heero looked up and saw the familiar face above. That face laced with concern and violets eyes were focus on the path ahead. `That violet eye demon…?'

Heero felt something warm trickle onto his hand and looked down to see blood all over it. It was not his blood, so…

Heero widened his eyes as he saw the red liquid taint the trail behind them and realized where those puddles came from. "You…" Heero said but gasped loudly as another wave of pain attacked him.

"Stay still. You'll be alright."

Strong arms tightened around him and that was the last thing Heero could think of. His mind lost the battle with pain and slumped into unconsciousness once again.

……………………… ..

"Vey!!" Duo called his partner as he reached his territory. The braided demon laid the boy in his arms under the violet tree and dropped his body next to him, panting.

/Duo! What happened???!!!/ The little vines suddenly came out, his voice raised high in panic at the appearance of Duo's condition.

"Ah…just got a little wound…"

/Who says it's a little wound?????!!!/ The little voice wailed loudly. Duo's body was soaked with blood. He leaned against the tree, his face covered with sweet and he was pale, Vey had never seen Duo in this condition before.

"Huh…shut up and help me." Duo bared his teeth and braced himself up, moving closer to the human boy next to him.

/Heero…?/ The little plant's attention followed his masters movement and noticed the boy's condition.

Duo studied the boy's body. Though Heero didn't cry out loud, the boy's face was held in pain. Damn! He didn't like seeing his beauty in pain. "He got infected with the poison of the blood demon."

The little voice gasped at what he heard. /So… what are we going to do? What… are we…/

"Stop panicking for God's sake." Duo replied flatly without looking back. He knew of the poison, the one created by a spell. "Hold him still." Duo commanded and started unbuttoned Heero's black shirt, revealing the boy's naked body. The little voice replied softly and violet vines quickly captured Heero's wrists and ankles, pinning them firmly to the ground.

Duo caressed the boy's cheek and whispered softly. "Hold on. It will be painful at the first, but you'll be all right." He knew this spell and he could break it. The braided demon trailed his hand down and put it on Heero's chest.

……………………… ……...

Hurt…

His body hurt everywhere. But he would fight it, he could fight it. He would not give in. He still had mission to accomplish.

Heero felt someone caress his cheek and whisper to him softly. /You will be all right./

Heero tried to move but he couldn't. A hand was placed upon his chest. Heero then felt something tightened its hold around his wrists and ankles.

"Ready," said Duo as he close his eyes and centered his power to his hand.

Heero felt heat consume his chest and spread quickly throughout his entire body. It became hotter and hotter till the point that he felt like his body was burned.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!" Heero screamed out and arched up, but his arms and legs were held to the ground and prevented him from breaking free. His body was on fire, especially at the center of his chest…

The boy gasped loudly as in the next second the hand on his chest withdrew and surprisingly, all the pain gone with it.

Heero sucked in deep breath, once…twice…before he opened his eyes.

`What had happened?' The bounds around his wrists and ankles had already gone and Heero slowly got up onto his elbows. He searched around. His blue eyes widened as he saw the braided demon leaning against the tree before him. Duo was panting so hard. The wound on his body was apparent.

`This demon save him…?'

/Duo… don't die on me…/ the little voice he was use to hearing quivered as if it was going to cry.

"Stupid… I won't die…." Duo shifted up to sit straighter. "…You can heal me, can't you?"

/Ahh…/

Heero watched with wide eyes as the vines quickly circled around Duo's midsection. A purple light glowed from the vines and covered Duo body for a few seconds. The light slowly faded and the vines dropped onto the ground lifelessly.

The wound on his body had gone but Duo still looked weak. Then the braided demon slowly turned to look at him. Their eyes met and Heero found he couldn't break the gaze and turn his face away.

"I just ran out of energy. Don't worry." The braided demon smiled as he saw expression on the boy's face.

Worry???!! He - Heero Yuy - worry about the demon's life and death?? No way!!

That was what Heero told himself; however, he couldn't explain the dreaded feeling in his heart. It must be guilt or responsibility that made him felt this way. Heero concluded it as such.

"Vey also needs some sleep to recuperate his energy." Duo turned his face away and closed his eyes, placing his hand on his healed stomach. "Maybe it's a result from lacking of good nutrition for a long time that just little wound could make us become this weak…" Duo chuckled softly.

Heero stared at the braided demon quietly. He could kill this demon and just leave now, but it was because of him that caused the demon to be in this condition. The demon saved his life, so he would pay for it. Duo said he needed more energy…

"I can help you with that, right?" Heero asked quietly and the braided demon turned his attention toward him. "…If you …took me." The boy gulped as the violet eyes pinned him still.

He would do this because he didn't want to be obligated for a favor to anyone. Heero told himself and turned his face away. He knew his face was red and he didn't want the demon to see it right now.

"Sure?"

That simple word suddenly sounded so sexy and made Heero shudder. "I just don't want to owe you." Heero said in flat tone and his face was calm and expressionless as usual, that is if it wasn't red all over.

Duo smirked as he saw the blush on the boy's cute and innocent face, the he moved closer toward him. "What a good boy…" The Demon whispered.

"I'm not a boy!" Heero snapped his head back and saw the violet eyes only a few inches before his face. Before Heero could say anything further, he felt the demon's soft lips on his cheek.

"This is enough for today." The demon smiled at the startled boy. "The poison must have tired you. Take a rest." Duo leaned against the tree and pulled the boy closer until Heero was lying on top of his chest. Heero felt strong arms hug him tightly, and that made him realize something.

Damn it!! After his attempt to escape, he had fell under this demon's capture again!

Heero thought he would feel uneasy and he should not sleep before he could find a way to get out. However, somehow in this embrace, Heero felt warm and safe.

He would rest so he would have more energy to fight and escape tomorrow. Heero told himself before his eyelids became heavy. His breathing became steady and in unison with the body beneath him. In a few seconds, Heero sank into his dream world. He didn't even feel soft lips that touch briefly on his forehead. Duo smirked and whispered.

"You still can return my favor tomorrow, much more than you planned to, little one."

TBC…

Hehee….I'll try to work harder and faster….

Bye for now and see you on chapter 5…. ^^;;;
