Shinigami's Scythe - From Paradise through Hell- Chapter 1

"Heero,what the fuck are you talking about?" Duo looked at the Wing pilot serious.

"A Challenge." Heero answered, monotonous like always.

The two pilots argued. Duo was bored, as usual, and got on Heeros nerves, like everytime when he tried to chat along with him. The result was a wicked idea forming in Heeros mind. Why not making a bet he could'nt lose to silence the braided boy?

"So ya mean a fight, boy against boy, Gundam against Gundam?" Duo asked curious.

"Precisely."

"All righty then! Time? Place?" Now the pilot no. 2 really got interested.

"Tomorrow, twelve o'clock. In front of the lake. Be prepared." Heero surpressed a little smile. He knew he was going to win.

"Ah, and the winner? What does he get?" Duo made a very curious face now. If he could really beat the perfect soldier, he would make sure he'll get something really nice for it.

"If I win, you won't get around me, not unless it's absolutely necessary, until the end of the war."

"Sounds like no fun. What if I win?" Duo didn't like the idea since he had a little crush on the stoic boy.

"Then I'll do whatever you want me to do." Heero smiled now. He knew that Duo would exept now, but since Heero also knew that he could'nt lose it seemed too funny to him.

Duo smirked. It was perfect. He would make sure that he didn't lose. But Duo didn't know that Heero was going to play the game his way.

*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~< /div>

"Okay! Let the game begin!" Duo said with a cheerful voice.

Wing and Deathscythe were facing each other. Deathscythe was holding the scythe in a deadly grip, but the green blade was still retracked.

Heero was smirking again, looking forward on his victory. But Duo was quite nervous. He didn't know why since he was sure he would teach Heero a lesson.

"Say, Heero, are there any rules in this game?" Duo had to distract himself from his nervousness before the battle started.

"I'd say, whoever gives up first, has lost the game."

"Kay. Sounds logically."

The two positioned themselves to get ready to strike. Duo was making a fist, still trying to distract himself, while Heero aready activated his beam saber. Reacting on that, Duo tried to pull out the scythe's green blade, but it didn't work.

"Hey, what the fuck…?" Duo was shocked. The scythe was his main weapon. He could'nt attack too well without it. Moreover, he could'nt win.

Heero smirked and launched himself at Duo, who blocked the attack with the scythes staff. Duo raised the staff to start a contra attack but was interrupted by a sudden hit right beneath him.

"Wha-?" Duo froze in his tracks. Behind them were about 10 OZ suits, armed and ready.

"Shit!" Heero cursed. He didn't expect OZ to find their hide-out. Well, he did expect it, but not that fast.

"Little brats, Gotcha!!" one soldier screamed and launched himself at Duo, who seemed, and was ,quite unarmed.

Duo, unable to protect himself due to the shock of the whole situation, closed his eyes and began to pray. Luckily, Heero was quick enough and blocked the attack.

"Duo! Get your ass outta here!" Heero screamed. Since it was his fault that Duo was helpless, he had to make sure the braided idiot was okay.

"And leave you here all alone against ten of them? Forget it!" The `braided idiot' was unarmed ,but still not helpless, well, at least he thought he wasn't.

Some of the soldiers used that moment of speech of those two to launch another attack, this time at Heero. Since the perfect soldier didn't pay attention for he was distracted by the braided boy he let his guard down and could'nt block anymore. But Duo did.

Deathscythe was hit by too many missles at the same time which caused it to fall back, right into the cold, blue see behind it.

"AAAH!!"

"DUO!" Heero screamed. If the Gundam was still intact, maybe it woudn't have been a problem, but heavily damaged as it was, it was a problem. Deathscythe would sink onto the ground like a rock and Duo would drown.

"Attack now!" one of the Soldiers shouted.

The following movements Heero made were based on instincts. He moved forward quickly and destroyed two suits at the same time which caused a big explosion. Without thinking he quickly destroyed the remaining enemies when his mind finally returned to him.

Duo! Duo was still trapped inside Deathscythe and probably already drowning.

Racing forward, Heero jumped into the lake and quickly looked for Duo. Luckily the damaged Gundam wasn't far away from his position and before he even realized he'd already left the lake, dragging Deathscythe behind him.

"Duo! Duo, Answer me!" Heero was really upset. It was his fault. He, the perfect soldier, was'nt perfect at all. After all, he was still human.

He paniced and pulled at the hatch to open it. Water streamed out as Heero continued to shout.

"DUO! Hell, answer me!!" Heero was beginning to get desperate. The japanese pilot carefully grabbed inside the cockpit and pulled Duo out, looking at him in horror.

The once bright eyes were firmly closed, face and body pale as well as red from the blood that poured out of the wounds which were caused by the explosion. Wet bangs covered parts of his face and the lips were blue, also firmly closed.

Heero stared at the still figure in Wings left hand, and started to regret the whole thing.

"Oh…my god… I'm so sorry Duo. So sorry…"

*~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~*~**~*~*~*~< /div>

Pain. That was the first thing Duo noticed when he finally woke up. He looked around, confused. The last thing he remembered was cold water slowly surrounding him. How did he manage to get into that hospital he was lying in?

"Ouch. My head." When he tried to get a hand on his hurting head he noticed that he had a cast on his left arm.

"Eyy..what the fuck..?" he muttured.

"Finally awake?" a too-well-known, monotonous, cold voice asked.

Duo looked at the speaker. Heero looked back at him with his usual cold eyes. Behind those eyes, unseen by anyone, was regret and sorrow, as well as pain.

1 month has passed since the incident at the lake and Duo was out cold all the time until now. Heero had been guarding him since then. Every day when he had'nt got a mission he stayed at the hospital, looking after Duo.

"Oh, hi Heero. How -" Duo wanted to ask Heero how he got here, but was immediately interrupted by the japanese boy.

"Duo, I'm so sorry." He burst out.

"Sorry? What for?" Duo was confused. What did Heero do to be sorry for? Then it hit him before Heero could explain.

" I.. the bet.. I manipulated your scythe.. I didn't think they could find us.. Duo.. I'm really sorry." Heero swallowed hard, waiting for Duo's reaction.

A short time of silence passed before Duo found his voice and began to speak.

".. So I was right after all. You didn't play fair on me. You cheated. Just to get some quiet time. You could have asked Heero. Why didn't you just asked me? Or is it that Perfect soldiers don't have to ask the lower people if they want something? Heero.. I'm so disappointed." Duo spoke very calm, but he wanted to beat Heero at the moment. Beat him senseless. Or to burst out into tears.He was so angry. Because of that perfect idiot he could have been dead by now.

"Duo, I.."

"Please don't say anything, Heero. Not at all. I trusted you, I thought I liked you," and loved you, he said to himself, "I thought I could become real good friends with you. And you destroyed that. You perfect, stubborn soldier. Just like that." A tear rolled down his cheek as he said those words.

Heero stood there, unable to move or speak. He was still a soldier, but why did Duos words hurt him so much? Was it because Duo told him he was his friend? Heero never had a friend. He never knew he had one. And now he lost him, just like that. It hurt like hell.

"Duo.." The word was nearly a whisper, Heero had not enough strenght to say it more loudly.

"Leave, Heero. Just - leave me. Leave me alone. Let me be alone. Let me clear my mind. Let me be alone."

Wordless, Heero left the room, passing the other pilots who were gathered around the door as quick s he could. He didn't want to answer any of the questions they might ask.

He had to get away from all of them, to clear his mind, to get rid of that guilty feeling.

But how?

Meanwhile, inside the room, Duo was staring at the place where Heero stood a moment ago. He just thought about his own words. Then he couldn't control himself anymore. He started to cry uncontrollable. How could Heero have done such a thing? How? That perfect asshole nearly fucking killed him!! And why? Because he wanted some time alone to be the perfect idiot and save the world all alone!!! Without anyones help, of course.

The only thing that came across Duos mind now was just one word: run. Run away. Far away. Away from Heero, away from the other pilots, away from his life. Away from the pain caused by the boy he tried, he wanted to love. The only one. All of a sudden his eyelids became heavy and a sudden dizzyness overcame him. The american boy closed his eyes and cried himself into sleep.

So, what do you think? Was it a bit angsty `til now?

I excuse myself for all the basd grammar and speeling mistakes I did. I'm just a little, bored girl from Austria who has nothing better to do with her time then waist it. Soo… tell me, should I go on? Should I go on like now? Pleaase REVIEW!! Thx
