Chapter 2:

 

When Duo reported to the dining hall, his father wasnCt there. It wasnCt anything too unexpected. The man was rarely home and the braided fey was surprised he even remembered what the man looked like.

 

Heero tailed behind the other young man silently taking everything in. From what he could see, the hallways were made with some type of stark white plaster applied to the walls in a swirling rivet design. The floor was cream, brown, and black marble. Green ivy grew from an unknown source to decorate the area where the wall joined the ceiling. It looked very much like the royal fairy-familyCs castle.

 

So enthralled in his observation, he didnCt notice when his violet eyed savior stopped walking. Luckily, Hilde did. The petite fey grabbed the Japanese manCs waistband bringing him to a jerking halt. Heero almost turned to glare at the woman. Instead, he cringed away from the almost spider web-like caress of DuoCs wings. They were thinner than they look, lighter as well.

 

The dining room was much like a large dome. The ceiling was made of curved white tiles that went up to the very top leaving a large circle. From where they stood, it looked as if the circle was left uncovered. A large dark wood table stretched across the room with chair lined neatly at its sides. At both end of the table was an almost throne-like chair. The cushion of each was jet black while the wood of the chair contained a red hue.

 

Before the table was a single kneeling person. He was petite. His small frame was laced subtly with compact muscles. The muscles in his chest and abdomen twitched lightly where he sat. The light from over head made his golden-bronze skin glow. He was dressed in a pair of semi-see-through pair of black pants with a CvC cut waist band that showed off the muscle that led to his groin. On his right shoulder, between his shoulder blades, around his navel, and around left shoulderCs bicep were tattoos done in startling black contrast.

 

On his shoulder was a dragon wrapped around a Victorian styled cross. The head of the dragon was done in a profile leaving one jeweled eye to be seen.

 

Between his shoulder blades was a coiled dragon with its claws out before it. A Celtic sun encircled his navel. The tattoo on his upper bicep was done in a Celtic fashion as well forming a band around it.

 

The youthCs arms were tied behind him by chains. His legs were bent and pushed to the side beside and under him with a five inch shackle on each of his ankles. Red and black wings were folded at his back. His head was bowed letting the vibrant fall of blood red hair fall over his face.

 

Duo glared down at the boy. He knew what the boy was from the tribal designs permanently marking his body. He was one of the savage tribes outside of the kingdoms. Fey that didnCt follow what was the CproperC. From what he was taught, they werenCt even to be treat as if they were living things. More like mindless animals to be put to death or done with as you pleased.

 

Seeing one in person, the braided fey could see nothing different between himself and the fey before him. Their colors were more vibrant because they resided in the wild flowers of the woods. Their wings were spiked along the curve of their lower half of wings. The wings themselves were shaped differently. Despite this, they werenCt killed by predators and could fly just as well if not faster than CnormalC fey.

 

Slowly, Duo walked towards the boy reaching out and cupping his chin. He lifted the feyCs head and gasped. Defiant neon green eyes glared up at him. Flecks of yellow swam within them hypnotizing. A heart-shaped face came with those eyes holding pouting lips and an almost button nose. Without he rebellious glare, the youth wouldCve looked fragile.

 

Heero reacted in a similar fashion finding the chained boyCs beauty breathtaking. He looked wild and sparked his artistic nature in a way Duo had done when heCd first laid eyes on him. This time it was something different. Where Duo was seductively sensual, the other was dangerously so. Though he was sure the braided fey had a darker side.

 

What happened next was a blur. One minute the petite fey was kneeling with force submissiveness. The next minute, he was bending with a great deal of flexibility and pulling his arms from behind him. The chains loosened at the change in angle and slipped from his dainty wrists. Once they were loose, he lashed forward with closed hands at Duo.

 

Duo stepped back having just enough time to dodge the furious fist. Another was thrown almost catching him in the shoulder. He caught it finding that the fist fit in his hand almost perfectly. The smaller fey growled angrily and swung with his other fist only to have it caught also. He used his body weight to pull against the braided feyCs grip getting nowhere. Without warning, he unfurled his wings and gave a gentle flap.

 

Duo froze in awe momentarily staring at the black and red wings. It was so different from the black and moonlight white he saw amongst his people. The wings formed thorns along the lower curve of them doubling them as weapons. They were beautiful.

 

He was bought out of his scrutiny when the youth kicked him in the chest using the downward thrust of his wings to bring him high enough for the attack. Duo grunted unconsciously releasing his hold on one of the fist.

 

The smaller fey took that time to ready himself again to punch only to be tackled away from his opponent. He fought against the weight finding the person that tackled him slightly bigger than the other fey. A second present loomed over his head making him fight harder. Within seconds, his arms were pinned with strong hands and his legs held down with by another set of legs. Finally defeat for the moment, he shouted angrily feeling frustrated tears run from his eyes.

 

Hilde was the only one to really be affected by the intensity of the youthCs rage. The human that helped her apprehend the fey stared only with indifference though his eyes gave off an emotion she could quite place.

 

mMove.C Duo said then. He pulled calmly at HeeroCs shoulder to get what he said across. CMove.C He repeated. Heero stored the word in his memory bank. If he was going to spend time here, he had to learn the language eventually. He slowly lifted himself from the smaller body hesitantly and fully expecting the boy to retaliate the first chance he got. Instead the fey laid prone back arched to keep weight off his wings.

 

mYouCll have to kill me. I wonCt be used like some mindless animal.C The boy spat in a language Duo knew. Duo couldnCt help but be surprised that the boy could speak. The way the savages were portrayed, they communicated by grunts and violence. This fey spoke though with a slight accent.

 

mYou will not be treated as such.C He soothed. CHowever, you belong to the Midnight kingdom now. This is your new home.C

 

mI donCt want to stay here.C The youth protested. He sat up quickly. Duo stopped him with a hand against his chest.

 

mIt doesnCt matter. Your freedom is not your own.C He motioned to the shackled around the boyCs ankles. Disbelief crossed the youthfully spirited feyCs face. His shoulders rose and fell quickly as he took quick breaths. Though not placed in a cage, he felt confined now.

 

mICI donCt want to stay here.C

 

mAh, I see youCve found your present.C G called. He had walked in during the middle of the fight. He hoped that the little savage would kill the braided nuisance. It would surely save him the trouble of doing it himself.

 

mHeCs mine?C

 

mAy, I present from you father to you.C

 

Duo nodded slowly hiding his disgust. He couldnCt see how his father could just CgiveC someone away without their consent. The boy before him, nor any of the slaves being held and traded now, was not a item to be given away. It would be the first thing to be taken care of when he took the throne.

 

Heero watched the thought swirl around the violet eyed feyCs face. He had a gut feeling something had just happened that the other man didnCt like.
