The Shinigami rewrites - DragonLance Chronicles.
Gundam Wing isn't mine. DragonLance isn't mine. Nothing is mine, not even my hair colour.
I thought that with all the descriptions of Duo, it would be funny to see Heero interact with a kender. Then I thought of this. Yaoi, X-over, AU. Duo as a kender... scary. G-boy torture. Be afraid. Be very, very afraid.

Part 10 - Separation
Wufei watched as his friends were led away. Duo had used the sound of the crowd to call something out in Japanese. /Red Dragon Inn. So that must be where they were staying. That is Maxwell and Barton. So where is Winner and Yuy? At the inn?/ Wufei paused, then shook his head. /I will check whether Yuy and Winner are at the inn, and then I will return to the library./ With a click of his fingers, Wufei turned to the direction that Duo and Trowa had come from, where after a short walk, he came across the Red Dragon Inn. He looked up at the windows. Several figures were keeping watch out of the window. One of them was Heero. Wufei pulled back the hood he had been wearing, and looked up at the window. Heero's eyes widened, and he gestured to someone inside. After a moment, Quatre's face appeared at the window. Wufei nodded, as Heero asked him, or rather mouthed, in Japanese, if he had seen Duo and Trowa. Heero frowned, then said something to the others in the room, while Quatre mouthed down that Heero would be out to talk to him.
Heero frowned, deep in thought. He had told Riverwind that he would return shortly. /So Wufei is here. It doesn't look like Duo told him anything, unless Trowa told him everything in that silent way. But one of them must have given him the name of this inn./ He gave a little smirk. /Quatre had better watch himself. Caramon will get pissed off it he doesn't stop ogling Tika. Just because she looks like Catherine.../
"Yuy," Wufei said.
"Hn," Heero responded. They waited a moment, then Heero spoke again. "How long?"
"Several months. I have been hiding in a library."
"Alone? What have you heard of the armies in the north?"
"Not always alone, there was a crazy elven onna for a while. On the other, I have heard a great deal. Most dismiss them as rumours."
"They are true. And as for elves... Duo turned out to be half-elven."
"There are many races, what is the other half?"
"Kender." Now Heero his a smirk at the look of abject horror crossing Wufei's face. Obviously he had encountered one of the merry thieves of Krynn.
"That explains much, Did you find out his true name?" was all Wufei would say on the subject. "I will return to the library. When do you plan on leaving?"
"For the most, we listen to Tanis. Duo insists on fighting in this war. In a way, I guess I can't blame him. The war with OZ was orders. This is personal."
"How so?"
"Duo's father is a high ranking elven noble. These dragonarmies want to wipe the elves into oblivion. By the way, his name is Shinigami Padruig, since you asked." Wufei nodded.
"So we all remain." Heero, having used up his word quota for the week, just nodded. "Wait, Shinigami? What is an elf doing with a Japanese name?" He shook his head impatiently. "Anyway, now I know the truth of these rumours, I will warn you of a curious figure I have observed in the city. Heavily clothed, and hidden. They seem suspicious." To Wufei's amazement, Heero looked terrified. Well, terrified for Heero.
"Clothing that looks like it could be hiding wings?" Wufei frowned.
"You've seen them,"
"Yes, but not here. Back to the north. They look like a man mixed with a lizard." Wufei was shocked.
"What are those things?"
"I'm not sure. Raistlin said they aren't natural. All the things you read about in Duo's fantasy novels, they're real. Dragons, Unicorns, Centaurs... it's all real. I've seen it myself." Wufei had no answer.
---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Trowa looked deep in thought. Duo sighed heavily. They were being marched further away from the inn. It was a deserted part of town, and strangely run down. When Alhana acted haughty about Tanis' heritage, Duo spoke confidently.
"I am Shinigami Padruig, the son of Lynette Lockpicker, and Quivalath Padruig." He made no apologies for his mixed blood. Trowa hid a smile, as Wufei joined them. At Flint's comment about honour, Duo grinned. "Make it a threesome," he stated, gesturing towards Wufei, "Wu-Chan would fit into that category too." Wufei scowled, then sighed.
"Maxwell, give it up." Tanis raised an eyebrow. /Maxwell? So he must be the other friend that Heero had mentioned. Oh, I see. Justice freak was the nicest thing Duo said about him./
Duo stifled a yawn. .Man, this library is so boring. Although Wu seems to like it. That Derek is a prize asshole. I wonder where Tas got those glasses... Dragon Orbs? Told the truth indeed. I remember Heero telling me about what he said to Flint. Then again, Tas doesn't lie very often, just for special occasions./ He smiled. /That kender, I really like Raistlin's threat. Much better then Heero's 'omae o korosu'./He froze. /Oh shit... that sound... The dragons are here.../
--------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------
Duo, Trowa and Wufei looked at each other.
"Meet at the inn. You found it okay before, hey Wu?"
"Yes. So we return to the inn?" they exchanged looks, then broke into a run.
------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Duo stopped hurriedly, as he saw Flint and Tas. He froze, then ran for the inn desperately. /Heero and Caramon. I have to get Heero and Caramon. They can free Tas. Heero and Caramon./ He got to the inn just as the dragons swooped down. /NO! Heero!/
---------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------
Heero bit his lip. /Hurry Duo. I can't leave without you./ He kept watching, listening with half an ear, as Raistlin prepared a poison. Tanis burst in. Heero felt the world was spinning, as he heard the dragon attack. The roof was caving in, the inn collapsing. Tanis threw Laurana towards Elistan, in front of the inn. Heero saw Duo's shocked face, slowly sinking to his knees, near the cleric, as the world fell down around him. As his world went black, he heard two things in particular. Raistlin shrieking strange words. And Duo's voice, screaming in agonised rage.
"Heero! NO!"
------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------
Hmm, I think that's as good a place as any to finish.
OK, quick recap.
Quatre and Heero: in the now collapsed Red Dragon Inn.
Duo, Trowa and Wufei: outside the inn.
Relena, Hilde, etc: at home, being good little girls. Therefore, irrelevant.
Sally, Une, Noin, Dorothy, Catherine: on their way to Krynn.
Oops. I hadn't expected them to come so soon. This story is out of control. I wanted some more time with just the boys, but Sally and Co insisted on pushing their way into the story, regardless of what I wanted.
Yes, I will bring Nemesis back. I haven't finished with Duo's family. We will see his daddy again too. Nemesis isn't a SI. To begin with, I wouldn't be dumb enough to be Duo's sister. ^_^
I'll be posting the next 2 chapters at the same time. Icewall and the Silvanesti nightmare are next, and I want more than just the G-boys in the dream... who to add... the possibilities are endless...
