nothing
Warning: Even weirder
than Heero's. And Duo is a fry short of a happy meal in this one
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Duo was in love. He
was happy he was content, and he was a vampire. Which in itself made the happy
and content kinda disturbing. Regardless Duo walked down the street dancing a
jig every now and then. Glancing at the minds of the people he passed, cruising
for a decent meal option.
Everyone was fair
game. From the hookers on the corner to the rich folk in the high rises. No one
escaped death. He paused in front of a hotel, and sent his senses soaring
listening to the different thoughts within it. A certain thought caught his
attention.
'Please no more please
no more please...' it went on and on and on like that.
Curious Duo latched
onto the mind it was coming from. Digging swiftly through the memories the
person possessed.
Kevin he was ten years
old, and he had come into town with his father. Who had sold him to the man he
was currently with.
Duo picked out the
man's face from Kevin's mind. Tall pale man, with white-blond hair and green
eyes. A rather feminine face, gentle demeanor. A beautiful human being...on the
outside.
On the inside Michael
was anything but. Duo shifted through what the man had done to Kevin thus
far—shoving Kevin’s mind aside, he invited himself into Michael's thoughts.
Hm. A true shark
indeed. Michael was cold calculating and vicious. Wufei would love to rid the
world of this guy for the sake of justice.
Duo smiled. Then again
so would he...well maybe not for the sake of justice. Blinking Duo looked
around him...and down. At some point he'd scaled the side of the building and
was now standing in the window outside of Michael's suite at the very top. Duo
stood on the ledge easily watching the play inside the suite.
Michael sat on his bed
a glass of wine held between his fingers as he watched his beloved cower in the
corner of the room. " Come now love. He smiled. " Don't be shy. I
wouldn't want to have to punish you again." He said.
Kevin shivered but did
as he was bid.
Duo dropped down from
his perch to the ground as silently as a cat he landed on his feet...from 50
stories. " Top that Yuy." He muttered going inside through the front
door.
The poor bellhop just
looked at the short pale man dressed like a priest and smiled. " Welcome
Father."
Looking up at the man
Duo smiled carefully concealing his fangs. If the poor fool only knew. Oh well
death would come for him later that evening...now was time for his good deed.
Finding the stairwell at the end of the lobby was easy enough. Running up it
faster than any mortal could dream of. Duo reached the 50th floor in record
time.
He easily broke the
lock that held the door shut from the inside and entered the top most part of
the hotel immediately heading for the door at the far end he stopped to listen
to the crying coming from within, with a light smile on his lips. The boy's
emotions were so pure and strong; he grabbed the door handle and twisted, breaking the lock—again. He closed the door behind him, then made his
way to the bedroom.
Making certain to
click off every light he passed.
"Whose there?! I
asked not to be disturbed." A sharp voice came from the other room.
Duo remained silent.
Moving swiftly to turn off the light in the bedroom as well.
"Whose
there?!" The man's voice had a slight edge of panic to it as he pulled his
precious little bundle close to him.
Duo watched from the
corner of the room, safely hidden in the darkness. Duo saw Michael reach to
turn on a light and grabbed his wrist. Pulling him away from the little boy.
"Who are you! I
demand you leave here at once!"
Squeezing the wrist
tightly Duo heard the bones give way under his fingers.
Michael yelped.
" Or what? Are
you going to punish me?" He asked. " Who knows I might like that...oh
wait maybe I'm too old for your taste."
He gave the wrist a hard tug.
" Who sent
you?"
"Death. Come to
claim what's his."
Michael's eyes widened
in the darkness. " Who are
you?"
" Why death of
course." He smirked.
Michael winced in
pain... " Don't play games!"
" But I like
games. They make life interesting, you like games too don't you Michael?
Otherwise you wouldn't be playing with Kevin over there." He smirked.
" H-How-"
"Enough talk time
to deliver you to judgment. Don't worry it won't hurt...much." Duo rubbed
his cold cheek against Michael's wrist.
"What are you
do-"
Ignoring the question
Duo sank his teeth into Michael's wrist with a low growl sucking at the
confining skin.
He heard Michael
scream--he withdrew his fangs and frowned, then tore at the two little holes he
made with his teeth. Tearing the flesh till blood flowed freely from the wound.
Content now Duo pressed his lips to the bleeding gash and slurped away happily.
He held Michael’s
screaming thrashing form beside him. Even as he slumped to his knees Michael
continued to beg to be release with his last breath. Duo held on till the last beat of his heart, then proceeded to
lick the wound clean.
Duo sat pouting beside
him for a moment, " All gone." He mumbled. A fluttering heartbeat
caught his attention then. Duo’s smile
returned with force, as he turned his eyes to the huddled form of Kevin.
" Kevin...oh
Kevin..." he whispered.
The heartbeat sped up.
" Shhh now
Kevin." Duo said, standing over the boy.
He picked him up by his arms, enjoying the little whimpers the boy gave.
" Hush now..." he said softly.
And sat on the bed with the boy in his lap. " I killed him for you.
You were begging someone to make the pain stop weren't you?" Duo asked
brushing his fingers over Kevin's hair. " Of course you were...and I did
make it stop...unfortunately I'm still hungry."
Kevin cried out and
tried to pull away.
"Ah ah ah. Sorry
Kevin...now sit still and I'll make the pain go away forever..." he
whispered in the boy's ear. He lowered
his head to Kevin's neck and sank the tip of his fangs into the tender flesh
before the room was flooded with light and the boy was jerked away.
" Maxwell.
No."
Duo blinked stunned
eyes, and frowned in the general direction the voice came from.
" But I'm still
hungry." He whined. " Aw come on Wu let me just get a sip off
him."
" No Duo. It
would be unjust if I were to allow you to-"
"Wufei you're a
damned vampire not the upholder of justice anymore."
Wufei sniffed and
placed Kevin on the floor. " Dress and leave boy." He said blandly.
Duo finally able to
see again stood and walked to Wufei frowning. " Thanks a lot you just let
my dinner go!"
Arching a brow Wufei
looked to the slack form of Michael. " Then what was he?"
A wicked grin spread
across Duo's blood smeared face. " A snack."
"I see."
Wufei said fishing a piece of black cloth from his pocket. He swiped it across
Duo's face. " You eat so messy."
"Heero usually
licks it off for me." Duo said winking mischievously at Wufei.
"That's all right
and good for Heero, but if anyone else were to try it he'd make certain they
were ash with the morning light." Wufei said turning to go. " No more
children tonight okay Duo?"
Pouting Duo nodded.
" I guess that bellhop will have to do." Duo smiled, and flashed past Wufei laughing like the lunatic he
was.
Wufei sighed, and
headed to the elevator. " Crazy vampire."
