The Invisible man 10 - The final chapter

Tnepres was lying on the floor, Heero crouching besides him. "Tnepres!! Please get up!!" Then, a sound caught Heero's attention and he looked to the right where a shadow was approaching them. "Quatre… " Heero whispered. Tnepres looked up and saw the shadow too. "Oh, no.. it's 0-3. We… have to get away, boy. " The snake tried to stand up, but failed miserably. "Shhh, stay here, Tnepres, I will talk to him…" Heero said in a soothing voice. But the creature didn't agree. "No, no, boy! I have strict orders, and I am here to protect you! He will kill you!" Heero just smiled as he stood up, putting the laptop in Tnepres big hands.

"You will take care of this thing, it's probably more important than my life." The young scientist gripped the syringe nervously and went over to the approaching project. "Quatre, what's wrong with you?" The blonde boy's eyes were white, and he was more walking like a zombie. Trowa's eyes were closed, but still, the boy's head moaned and groaned.

"Quatre, I can heal you. Do you understand? I can help you. Let me?" But the blonde only growled and seemed to teleport again, moving too quick for Heero to realize. However, as if out of instinct, Heero ducked and could just dodge Quatre's deadly punch which cut off some of Heero's hair. "Quatre!!" Heero slipped between Quatres legs and quickly stood up again, facing the boy's back. The double-headed creature turned around slowly and stared at Heero with wide eyes.

"Kill… you…" He groaned slowly, and Trowa's head now too opened its eyes and groaned the same. "Kill… kill… you…" Heero got a goose bump and walked backwards as Quatre came closer again. The vision was just too spooky. The project suddenly moved again, this time behind Heero, and this time, the poor scientist couldn't dodge away anymore. "Quatre!!!" he screamed as he felt the boy moving his arm. However, the shout distracted the boy a bit and he only rammed his hand inside Heero's left arm. The scientist's eyes widened as he felt the pain of his breaking bones and his skin being ripped apart.

"UAAAAAHHH!!!" He screamed as he fell forward, quickly letting go of the syringe to hold his arm. "Hgggnn…" Heero winced as the pain seemed to rise. He managed to open his eyes and all he saw was the syringe, and there was just the thought left that he had a mission. Without thinking, he quickly took the instrument, pushed off the lid and turned around, ramming the thing deep inside the blonde's thigh. Quatres eyes widened as he realized that something was sticking in his leg. He looked down into Heero's pain contorted face as the boy pushed the liquid into Quatre.

The project started screaming for the fluid burnt like fire down the poor boy's nerves. He clutched his head with both hands and stumbled backwards, screaming all the time. Steam rose from the boy and with a loud thump, he fell down, wincing and shaking. Heero just let himself drop on the floor again and breathed in deeply, regretting it the next minute for his arm started to hurt unbearable.

Tnepres approached the bleeding boy and carefully loaded him onto his back. "Th - thank you, Tnepres" he murmured as the snake gave the laptop back. "Nnnnno problem. But we have to get moving now." Heero nodded as the creature moved forward until he was besides Quatre. The steam made it impossible to see anything, but as the cloud moved away, Heero's heart nearly jumped around in his ribcage for he was so happy to see two unconscious boys lying on the floor. Heero looked at Tnepres who smiled too. But now they had a problem: Two of them wounded, and two of them knocked out. How should they get out in less than 5 minutes!?

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

The I.M. Troup was all around Wufei, some with their hands in the project, some just staring down at him. Some let go and then waited for Wufei to catch his breath before they touched him again. Wufei was already nearly unconscious from the torture, and the chief could do nothing but look down on his comrade. He had to control himself not to jump down, but every time he nearly did, he had to think of what Wufei had done. If he jumped down now, then it would have been useless, right? So the man just sat on his safe spot and tortured himself with the view of Wufei being nearly killed.

A rattling sound caught the chief's attention and he looked to the left from where they had fallen out. There was something sitting there, looking down. He couldn't see what it was, but it gave him a goose bump. This building was freaking spooky and he would be glad to get out of it as soon as possible. Then there was suddenly another noise. A loud beeping, and then a voice speaking something about 5 minutes and self-destruct. At first, the chief started laughing, because he had to think of a star trek movie, but then he quickly shut up, realizing what it meant. He quickly pulled out his phone and tried to contact his men.

"Beta- troop!!! Gamma's, anyone!!!! Can anyone hear me!?!?!???" the chief screamed into the phone. But there was no answer, just the sound of dead phones. No, the sound as if everyone was dead already. The chief lowered his head and laid the phone aside. The mission… went wrong.

Then there was suddenly a tongue on his cheek. The man shrieked and nearly jumped as he quickly turned into the direction of the "attack". There was a kid, but it looked like anything but a kid. It had long, pointed ears, short, dirty hair and a slight layer of thin fur over its whole body. The nose was like a cat's nose and it too had a bushy tail. It wore nothing but a loose, ripped shirt and a smile. "Hello." It said, leaving the chief to stare. And suddenly, he remembered what else he'd seen on the plan. There were two main training rooms, and something that was called kindergarten. His eyes widened as realization hit him that these children were just as dead as him.

"What are you thinking?" The kid asked him, still smiling and wagging its tail a bit. But a scream got the man out of his thoughts. He looked down and watched in horror as they were going for Wufei's guts now, squeezing their fists hard to make Wufei suffer. The man felt so helpless. Neither could he save the kids nor his saviour. The little child looked down too and then at the man again. "Are they not nice to your friend?" The chief suddenly stared at the kid as it jumped down from the safe place and right into the mass of I.M.

To the man's utter surprise, the kid didn't fall through the I.M. but onto them. The chief watched in fascination as the creature talked with the I.M. and they stopped torturing Wufei immediately. Wufei himself panted heavily and stared at his saviour. He bowed his head once as a thank you.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

`Where am I? It's so dark I can't see… what's this? There's light… I wanna go there… hm... It's so warm… What? It's… a room. I can see myself as I fall into the room. It's been a long time ago… But who is that boy on the bed? I can remember him, but who is he? Strange. Why can I remember a person being there and yet not know him? Oh, he's crying, poor thing. I want to comfort him. There are people coming in, I have to hide!!! But why? They're close, nearly… No, go away!!! What's that? They can't see me? But I'm right in front of thim. What's going on?? It's all so blurred; I can't see anything clearly anymore. Wait! Don't… don't blur everything!! Don't make it all black!!! Oh no…it's all dark again… wait… what are these? Strings? On my wrists? And around my ankles? What's that? I… I can't move!!! Someone, get me away from here!!! What… what was that? A voice? A female. She tells me to go… but I don't want to go… what's that?? I still move!!! Stop moving these strings!!! I don't wanna go anywhere!! Leave me alone!! Ahh!! What?? A … shower? No… It's … raining….!'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

In front of the lab, in a corn field, Drazil was sitting, Duo napping besides her. She was chewing on a piece of corn, biting off some and then spitting it out again. The clouds gathered above them, light rain starting to fall. Duo suddenly blinked, getting the lizard lady's attention. "You weren't really sleeping, now were you? Just resting your eyes. Don't you ever fall that careless again. You're my slave now. And that means that you shouldn't let any harm be done to you. " Duo just nodded mindless.

Drazil stood up again, looking at the lab. "Ach, is the damn thing still not blown up? Damn G, giving `everyone a chance'. He shouldn't have changed like that over the last 10 years. He's like the nice uncle grandpa from a TV show." The project bowed her head, looking angry, and yet a bit sad. Then she grunted. "…Disgusting."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Okay, we'll do it like said. Wufei, you run out with … umm… that little kid. She knows the corridors better than anyone else… and I'll go look for the other children." Wufei nodded before a hiss caught their attention, followed by a deep take of breath. As they turned around from where they were standing in front of the big training hall, I.M. still in there and door locked, they saw a big snake approaching, someone sitting on its back and something being pulled behind it. Wufei raised his ears as he recognized the person.

"Heero!" The little kid suddenly started running forward and hugged the big snake. "Uncly Tnepres!!!" She shouted happily. But the poor snake could'nt share the kid's happiness and just fell down, nearly onto the small creature in front of it. That caused Heero to fall down from the snake, and he rolled down from the snake's back so not to harm the laptop which he was gripping tightly as if his life depended on it. He hit the wall with his left arm and howled in pain as his broken bones were smacked. Wufei ran over to where the boy was wincing and then looked back at the chief.

"Chief, you will carry Heero out of here, and I will go look for the children." The man widened his eyes at Wufei's suggestion, but as he considered the facts, he just nodded. "You are the faster runner, I know. Just, run fast enough to get out of here, will ya? " Wufei nodded and started running, knowing where to get the kids. The little kiddie with them looked down at Tnepres with an overly worried face and the chief just stared as the kid started pulling the big snake without any problem. Well, at least that would clear the problem of how they should get out with 2 wounded and two knocked out men. The chief secured Heero on his back and started walking, the kid closely behind him.

Suddenly, Heero's laptop started beeping away. The boy quickly opened it and looked at the screen, seeing a little window `you've received a new file'. Heero put his finger on the little `ok' button and a little window popped up, showing Dr.G.

"G…" Heero said in a low voice. The scientist on the screen didn't look too happy, but nevertheless, he cleared his throat and started speaking. "Heero, I hope that you are at least nearly at the big training Hall with my army of invisible men. Otherwise You won't be able to get out in time. But that's not the reason why I have decided to try to call you via videophone. Listen… There is another room in here where there are newly tested projects. It's called the kindergarten. You mustn't, under any circumstances, free those kids." Heero's eyes widened as he heard that. "But why?? Don't they have a right to live, too?" G shook his head. "No, Heero, they are really dangerous. I wanted to try how anger raising drugs would affect kids, and I can only say: 2 of these kids are even more dangerous than a whole army of Invisible men."

"But Wufei's gone to get them out!!" G was clearly shocked at those words. "You have to stop him!!!" Then there was a piece of ceiling falling down, nearly hitting G. The scientist looked a bit scared, but quickly overrode it. "Listen, Heero. It's really important that they don't get out. I myself found no way to stop the process they are in, and they will get so aggressive that they'll kill a person in a few seconds, without any reasons, of course. " Heero nodded. "I understand. " Then, suddenly, the screen went black. The young scientist widened his eyes. "Oh no!! It's out of battery!" He cursed silently before remembering that they needed to stop Wufei.

"Hey, you guy there who's carrying me. Can you contact Wufei somehow?" Wordless, the chief just gave his phone to Heero and he tried to contact Wufei. "Wufei? Wufei, can you hear me? "Silence followed. "Wufei!!" No answer. "Damn…" A piece of ceiling falling down from the ceiling in front of them made the chief nearly drop Heero. "Uah!"

"We really have to hurry up now!" The kid suddenly stopped walking and looked at Heero. "Uncly?" The boy looked back in a confused way but answered nevertheless. "Yes? What do you want?"

"I can carry you. Just sit down on Tnepres and I'll pull all of you. Except for you, uncly," she pointed at the chief, "You have two healthy legs and you are all okay otherwise." A bit confused, the man just nodded and put Heero down carefully who lay down on Tnepres again. The kid then grinned, took both if Tnepres hands tightly and started running so fast that the chief barely had enough time to catch up.

"Waiiiit, don't run so fast!!!" The kid was fast, but also very skilful; she dodged every corner and every obstacle. They passed many empty cells and a few doors before they came to a staircase. Out of breath, the chief looked at the strange looking stairs and asked himself how the kid would carry the wounded over these stones. His question was answered as the kid pushed a button on the side and the stairs moved so that they had a slide now. Grinning broadly, she pushed Tnepres and the others forward before jumping down behind them. "WOOOHOOOO!!!!" Shrugging, the chief followed.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Duo, kiss me." `I don't want to'. "What's wrong?" `Why should I kiss someone as disgusting as you?' Drazil was swinging her tail impatiently. What was wrong with the boy. Had he neutralized her potion? "Now now, why aren't you a good slave?" She hugged Duo and pulled out a little bottle from under her tail. "If you're not obedient anymore…" She quickly pushed Duo back and forced him to swallow some more golden substance, but the boy coughed most of it out again.

"Damn…" She wiped off what was in Duo's face and made him swallow that before forcing him to lie down. Sitting on top of him, she lowered her head so that she was face to face with the boy. "Listen, I don't know why my poison isn't working on you correctly, but you will obey. After all, without me, your leg wouldn't have been healed already. Without the nice side affects of my potions you could have been dead already. So, you owe me a lot. Understand?" Duo nodded weakly, feeling the fluids power again. "Good boy. " She stood up again and grunted.

Just before a loud explosion was heard in the background and the laboratory slowly broke into pieces. Dust rose from the building and a few distant shouts and screams could be heard. Drazil smirked widely while Duo watched the whole scene emotionless. A few fires started to burn and after a few minutes, the whole thing was on fire, the woods around it catching some as well. The lizard's lady smirk, however, disappeared as she saw a dust cloud or something similar moving towards them. She narrowed her eyes to see what it was, and as she understood what it as, she backed away angrily.

"Noooo!!! You should have been dead!!!!" Just a few seconds later, the kid stopped a few meters in front of Drazil, smiling sweetly. She let go of Tnepres and the chief, who stumbled around and quickly ran to a nearby tree to empty his stomach. Heero stood up as well, slowly, and faced the lizard lady before his eyes came to rest on Duo. As he looked back at Drazil, the project suddenly started laughing aloud.

"Haha, don't tell me that this sexy here is your lover." She threw her arm around Duo's neck and pressed his face against her breast again. "Forget him, boy. He's my slave now. And if you want him back…" She let go off Duo and her smirk widened, "then you'll have to fight with me. " Heero just looked at her before going over to the partly unconscious Tnepres to put the laptop into his hands again. The young scientist then walked back to face Drazil again, and after a few more moments, he nodded. The lizard lady just smirked evilly before dashing forward, but Heero could dodge her attack easily.

"Here!" Heero looked up just early enough to catch the branch being thrown at him from the chief with his right hand. The man smiled and gave him a thumbs up. Heero smiled back before dodging another blow of Drazil. He swung the stick once over her head and then right onto her right knee since her back was facing him right now, and due to the extra speed he had from swinging it over her head, the force of the hit was hard enough to make the lizard lady fall. She growled loudly but quickly turned around, swinging her long tail and so making Heero fall too.

The boy grunted as he fell onto his back, but instinctively rolled over to the right side before Drazil smacked her fist onto the ground where Heero had been just a moment before. The scientist quickly sat up and hit Drazil's arm with the stick, making the lady pull her arm back in pain. Heero quickly stood up to face the project again, and the project glared at him angrily.

"You… dared to hurt me… you will suffer so much…" She approached the partly scared boy quickly and although Heero could smack the branch against her breast bone, she grabbed his left arm and squeezed hard. "UAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!" Heero screamed out, but Due to Heero's former hit, Drazil had to let go too for she suddenly got breathing problems. Both of them fell backwards, a lightning bolt striking shortly afterwards. The rain began to pour down on them faster now, and everyone was quickly getting wet. While Heero was still wincing, Drazil was able to stand up again and didn't waist a minute. She went over to where Heero was lying and looked down at him with angry eyes.

"That should teach you a lesson. We are creatures who were designated to become more than such a worm like you are." She then started smirking again as she placed her foot on Heero's chest. "Do you want to know how that blow of yours was feeling?" She pushed down, putting all her weight on that foot. Heero screamed again, quickly running out of breath. Drazil raised her foot again and pushed it down with even more force. "Uh…" was all Heero could bring out. He grabbed Drazil's ankle in a very desperate gesture, but it only made the creature smirk even more.

"Ohhhh, now is that cute? Desperate little human trying to save himself. It's useless." She pulled back her foot to free herself from Heero before she made herself ready to push it down onto the boy's chest again. But before that could happen, two strong arms pulled hers back behind her back. She screamed in pain as her arms were pushed together.

"Tnepres!!!! Stop!!!!!!" She screamed before putting her tail around her attacker's throat. "Leave me, or I'll kill you." She tightened her tail to make her point. Tnepres choked but ignored the feeling around his throat, pushing his sister's arms together even more.

"Ahhh!!!! Stop it!!! Stop it, you traitor!!!" She then pulled at her tail hard, and an awful breaking sound was heard, Tnepres eyes widened as everyone realized that Drazil just broke the creatures neck. Tnepres head fell forward, but he quickly opened his mouth and rammed his poisonous teeth through the scales and deep into his sister's flesh. Drazil's eyes widened as she felt the pain of the two fangs on her shoulder. They fell down together, Tnepres on top, just barely missing Heero who was still lying on the floor, eyes closed due to the rain that burned his eyes. The chief quickly went over to Heero and pulled him away from the fighting siblings. Drazil was still trying to get her brother's fangs out of her shoulder and Tnepres had used his tail to keep her quite still.

They struggled for another minute before Drazil's movement stilled. Although her eyes were blank, she started whispering, and as she increased the volume of her speaking, everyone could hear what she way saying: "Duo, come here and kill everyone. Come here, Duo; Duo, here. Come here, Duo, and kill every single one of them. But first of all… kill Heero."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

`What were these sounds? They were weird… like wood hitting things and breaking stuff. There!!! There was a thunder. Weird. It's completely dark, I can't see anything, and yet, I hear everything. There's a voice in my head. It's saying `obey me, obey me..' over and over, only these two words. But who is it, who wants me to obey? I don't understand. What's that? There was a scream. Another one. I know that voice. Someone I know is screaming. I want to help him!! But… I can't move. There's a voice… `Don't move, don't move…' But I want to move!! I will move and go to that person!! What's that? There are these strings again. No!!! Let go off me!!! There are more now, even more!! And the more I struggle, the more they hold me. Gosh, what was that now? Breaking bones? Oh my god, what's going on?? There's another scream!... Wh- what's that now??? A voice is calling me. "Duo…" I can't understand the rest… something… with kill… Is someone telling meto kill another person? No! I won't do that!! No way! Aah!! I'm moving!! And… my view is clearing up, I can see now. There are two persons lying in front of me. A blonde one, and a brunette one. Strane, they look similar to someone I know. And whats that? A kid? Looks cute. And who's that weird man I'm passing right now? There's the voice again… "Kill every single one of them…" No! I won't do that. I couldn't. Wait.. there's something more… "first of all… kill Heero…" Who's that now? But I can't kill anyone!!! Leave me alone!!! I don't want to kill…. What the fuck are these voices in my head? They are telling me to kill… seek blood… But I don't want to!!! They're telling me that it's okay… killing people is not a bad thing… That's not true!!! I have killed before!!! And I don't want to kill again!!! NEVER!!!!! What… What's that… I… I am standing in front of a boy. He has a cute face and beautiful, black hair. His eyes are the most pretty blue I've ever seen. But… they're reflecting fear. Why is he afraid? What's that… he's calling me… "Duo, don't you recognize me? It's me, Heero." Oh, no… I don't … I don't want to kill that person!!! No!!! Make me stop!! Please… somebody, do something!!!!!!!'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Heero and the others stared in shock at Drazil as she whispered those words. And the wounded scientist started to tremble slightly as he noticed Duo coming closer. "No, this can't be true… " He whispered to himself as he saw that Duo didn't struggle as he followed his orders. Drazil smirked, even as the blood was running down from the corner of her mouth. "Hhhhahaha.. I might die… but Duo will make sure that you'll follow me on my way to hell." She coughed and spat out some blood before whispering one last thing. "Duo, make them suffer a lot, before you let them die…". Then she just dropped her head, too tired to hold it up anymore, her brothers poison finally having its affects.

Heero focused his attention on to Duo again. The boy was slowly getting closer to Heero and as he finally stood in front of the boy, he just stared at him with his blank eyes before gripping his throat and pulling the boy up, cutting off his oxygen. Heero probably should have thought of a way to get out of that deadly grip, but his bigger question was - why could Duo grip him?! Was he finally freed from his "power"? His questions were answered by Drazil whispering senseless stuff, but this one sentence made sense to Heero.

"My poison… I have worked so long on it… it will make Duo able to control his power…" So that was it!? Duo had swallowed some stuff that made him unwilling!! Right at that moment, Duo dropped Heero again and stepped onto Heero's left arm, moving his foot around to increase Heero's pain. It was enough for the chief to watch and he took Heer's branch and ran like berserk towards Duo. But Duo simply turned his head and, as soon as the chief was within range, h gripped the man's wrist and pulled it upwards so that the chief was twisted in the air and, at the same time, dislocated his arm. A howl of pain followed and Duo let go off Heero for a few seconds to take the chief and ram him against the tree before punching the man into his stomach hard for a few times. The chief then broke down, wincing. Neutral expression on his face, Duo looked down at the wincing man and turned to go back to Heero again.

But something suddenly held his leg, and he realized that it was a little kid. It bit him, too, but Duo just took it and smacked his head against the kid's one, knocking it out with that. Te project walked on to Heero again. The shaking scientist now took all of his courage and got up to dash forward and make Duo fall. Stupid thing is that he slipped on the wet grass and eventually rammed his foot against Duo's legs, so making Duo fall forward and onto the young scientist. With that movement, a gold chain suddenly fell out of Duo's shirt and with that, a golden cross. Heero's eyes widened as he remembered the cross. He quickly pulled it off Duo's throat and held it in front of the boy's face.

"Duo, please remember this!!! I gave it to you when you left to get your friends!!! Trowa, Quatre, Wufei!!! You have to remember them!!! They are your friends, Duo!!!" Duo didn't move a muscle for a few seconds before batting away the cross and gripping Heero's throat. The scientist choked as he quickly ran out of air. "D- Duo… you are my friend… " He raised his arm to stroke over the other boy's cheek, over his tattoo to be more exactly. Tears filled his eyes as he recalled everything that had happened in the last few years. Suddenly, Duo started punching Heero's face; left cheek, right cheek, middle, left eye, right cheek. As Heero still looked at him, he went for his throat again. But Heero only smiled and placed his hand onto Duo's tattoo again.

"0-2… Duo, that's …you… " The project gripped Heero's throat even tighter before leaning down closely to stare into the other boy's face with cold, empty eyes. Heero now used all his strength to lean forward and place a kiss on the other's lips. It didn't just startle Duo, but he let go off Heero's throat and pulled back, looking down at the other boy; at his smiling face, the beautiful blue eyes, and the red streaks on his throat.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

`Please, please, please, please, please make me stop!!! I cant take this anymore. Make me stop… No.. not the little girl!!! Please… don't let me do this!! Uah!!! I fell!!! What was that? And.. what's this thing… a … chain? Where did that chain come from? There's a cross on it… a golden cross… I remember this thing... but where from? What's that? Someone's talking… Who gave the cross to me? I rescued my friends? Who are Trowa and Quatre and Wufei? They tell me something, these names… But… what? What is he saying? "Duo… you are my friend." Nooo.. don't tell me I'm just torturing my own friend. I… I don't know you!!! Who are you people!? What's this now… he's… stroking my cheek. It feels nice… Don't stop that… no.. don't get me to move again. NO!!! Not his face!!! Make me stop!!! Please…. Don't make me hit him!!! What's that now? He's calling me … "0-2"? Oh… my… god…. 0-2, that.. has been my name, and… I can remember now! The fog was removed!!! Quatre and Trowa and Wufei!!! Everyone!!! And… Heero… His beautiful eyes, I can't help but lean closer to look at them…. He… Oh… what is this… He… he is kissing me…. ?.... God, don't stop… No, what's that? Don't pull back, I don't want to pull back! But… what's happening? All my strands… the ropes… they are all ripping… I… I can move now!!! I… I am free!!! And… god.. just look at Heero….'

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"Heero?" Duo whispered, not sure if he really was himself again. But the boy beneath him only nodded. Duo smiled, then he paused for a few moments, realizing something. "But… Heero, I can… I can touch you… how…" Heero shushed the other boy with his finger. "I will explain it to you later. Just… let me …" He leaned forward again and Duo met him halfway, both of them enjoying the kiss. As Heero leaned back again, Duo remembered something and stood up to get the chain and the cross. As he sat down besides Heero, regret and self- hatred filled his eyes. "Heero, I … I am so… horribly sorry… " The boy started sobbing as he thought about all the things he'd done, but Heero quickly reassured him, hugging him.

"Duo, you were under control, and a strong one too, you didn't do anything out of your will." Heero stayed like that. "And besides, without the potion, I wouldn't have been able to touch you…" Duo smiled and hugged Heero back, carefully so not to hurt the wounded boy anymore. Then he pulled back to do what he wanted. "Heero, you've asked me, long time ago, to give this back to you… " He held out the chain with the cross and handed it to Heero. "And let me tell you one thing… " Heero looked up into Duo's face, seeing tears in his eyes, and wondered what it could be that made Duo cry now.

"Heero, I didn't understand it before… but now I do…." He took in a deep breath before continuing. "I have promised to be your friend, ten years ago, and today, I will make a new promise. I will always be at your side, no matter what, because, Heero Yuy, I love you." Heero's eyes widened at those words and he didn't know what to say. "D- Duo.. I… " Then he did the only thing that came to his mind. Smiling and crying, he moved forward to hug the braided boy. "I love you, too…"

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Ak, ak, ak… back hurts….. no wonder… sitting in my freaking chair for 3 hours…. this is a short pause for everyone (including me) to get a snack, a loo break, something to drink, anything really.. just imagine some annoying music and some naked woman or men walking around, doing silly stuff… so.. imagine a commercial ^_^. As for everyone who questions these lines… Don't worry, it's gonna be finished in just a few seconds. I won't leave off like that… nonono.. nothing like shinigamis scythe again ^-^.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Okay, no, everyone being refreshed and stuff, let's go for the last part!!!!

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

About a month later, in front of a neat looking house (A/N: wouldn't that make our life's all easier if a writer could just say something's neat looking? ). A man in an expensive looking outfit came out of the door, closely followed by Duo and Heero. "Okay, this is your house now. I hope you will spend loads of nice years here." The man grinned and went over to his car in front of the house. Duo and Heero waved goodbye as they watched him leave. Then they smiled at each other and went inside again.

The first room looked like a harmless little room with a door on a wall which led down into a big cellar, and under that was a big space which should be soon turned into a laboratory; a corridor lead forward and at the end of the corridor was a massive kitchen with a staircase, and to the left was a big living room. There was, too, a staircase, leading upwards, and on this floor were two other staircases, leading to a second floor.

On the same day at night, Heero and Duo drove to Heero's old house where a few old friends were hidden. With a big van, they got Quatre, Trowa, and a few more persons. Then they drove to the nice looking house and got Heeros mother, warning her about what she might see in the van. Then they drove into their new home;

*Half a year later*

"Duo, could you get me the milk, please? " Heero shouted into the kitchen as he was struggling a bit with 9 hungry children on the dining table. Although G had told him not to take the kids in, Heero had found a way to neutralize the drug they had been given. Now they were only naughty and, well, normal kids really. But still there were 9 of them.

"Now, now, kiddies, will you calm down, or we won't play hide and seek afterwardsssssssss." Tnepres threatened the bunch of kids, leaving them to mewl and calm down. Although his neck had been broken, he hadn't been moved too much and so they were able to bring him into Heeros house without cutting through his spinal cord, and besides that, Tnepres was a tough guy, so he survived the following month of healing without any problems. He still had some scars from Heero's `operation' that followed, and he was, somehow, proud of them.

"Heya, Heyo, I smell food, any for us?" Quatre asked as he came in, closely followed by Trowa who started singing. "Griechischer Wein, ist so wie das Blut der Erde, schenk nochmal ein…"[1] He stopped as he saw everyone staring at him. He blushed and grinned, "Ahem, nevermind, it's a german song. " Quatre and Trowa sat down at the table then. They were both so happy when they have woken up again back then. As they looked into each others eyes, their tears of joy couldn't be hold back. As they have explained later, they have been lovers before G had found them and persuaded them to try out a real neat trick.

"Careful everyone, here comes the happa happa[2]!!!" Duo announced cheerfully as he carried in four plates of steaming food, Heero following closely behind him with another four. After the fight they went home with Tnepres and the kid named Kiikira, as she told them later. Heero had recharged the laptop and got a new file from G which had been for Duo to watch. On the video, G had explained everything to Duo and he apologized, too. The Video ended with an explosion for G hadn't tried to get out of the building. They went back to the place where the fight had been to bury Drazil, but found nothing but her skull. As Tnepres had explained lter, his poison was dissolving every cell exept for some rarer ones in a bone. Still they had decided to bury the skull and the branch Heero had fought with became some sort of gravestone for her.

The police and the fire fighters had come later and Heero and Duo were able to convince them that it was just an old toy factory that had caught fire. Luckily, they didn't look for any dead bodies although, as Kiikira had told them later, the new version of I.M. died without leaving a body behind.

As Duo placed the plates on the table, he quickly went out again to get a big piece of raw meat. As soon as he was out of the kitchen, someone snatched the piece away from him. A bit startled at first, Duo looked upwards and growled at the thief. "Maaaan, will you ever stop walking on walls? I don't want to get titanium ceilings to stop you from clawing into the normal ceiling." Wufei just growled back and ate his piece of meat happily. Heero laughed at Duo's pissy expression and got out a water pistol to make Wufei wet. The project quickly dushed forward to evade the water.

"No, stop, tormentor! " Everyone laughed and Duo was so happy that Wufei finally had back his humor. Although he had thought that Wufei died in the explosion, they were visited a few days later by Wufei and the 8 kiddies he had been able to rescue. Although Wufei still had enormous wounds from the fire, he had been brave and survived without any bigger problems. And after Heero had moved in his lab under the cellar, he was able to repair Wufei's sense of smell. He tried to change the rest of Wufei back, but in the end, Wufei decided to stay as he was. He had been able to accept what he was now, and he wasn't quite unhappy with it. Near the new house was a little forest, and he and some of the kids often were out there, running along and howling with a pack of wolves that lived there.

All in all, everyone was happy in the end. Heero had been able to find out what changed Duo back completely, and he wasn't only surprised as he found out that it was strong feeling of happiness, caused by a kiss. And after all their adventures, they had to find out that G had left quite a load of money for them, and together with all the money Heero's mum still had, they would be able to live without working.

As the kiddies and the projects were fighting for the food, Heero's poor mum dodging every now and then, Heero and Duo retreated into their own room upstairs to have some time for them alone. As Duo locked the door, Heero raised an eyebrow, knowing what Duo wanted to do, and he happily obeyed, so happy to finally have a loving family that really cared for him, and showed him that whenever they had the chance to.

The End

[1] Thihi,thehe, thohooooo… it's an old german hit (for all of you who don't know it, I'm Austrian ^-^ the country with the mountains, no kangaroos, k?) and translated, It'd mean something like… "Greek wine, is like the blood of earth, pour in again…"
