Rising Star
Part 5
Adam and Relena decided to meet in the conference room after he changed, walking down the hall he saw Setsuna and the person that loved and requested the last set. Some younger dignitary, waving and being polite to the man, he excused himself. Relena watched as he went to his room. //Ah Duo, I'm positive it is you now. I don't know why you are hiding from the others, but I can see it is hurting you as well. Would you go along with this so easily if you knew I knew it was you? Heero and you belong together, all you two need is a little nudge in the right direction.// Walking over to the conference room, she began to plan how to get them together again. Ten minutes later he walked in and they spent the afternoon making plans for the `party/ concert' next week.
*************
Two days had passed since Relena's appearance in Adam's life. In that time they went over the agenda for the day. First there would be a small party for the birthday boy, then he would perform for the whole Sank Kingdom.
{ Duo found himself back to the night of Deathscythe's destruction. . .
"Duo, I see that everything has been accomplished. Are you sure you want to go through with this?" The professor asked.
"Yes, we have to. This is what we have been waiting for. We have to force their hand, and perhaps the others will work better with each other now that they have another purpose."
Listening to his every word, G nodded and led him to the operation room. "Take a last look in the mirror Duo, it'll be a long while before you will be the same." Duo took a last look at his reflection.
//Such drastic changes I will go through. Will I be able to go back to myself, or will I forever be like this//
He woke up on the table...
"Duo everything went as predicted. The physical changes are complete. Don't worry, after this mission is over we'll be able to return you to your original appearance. Just some minor surgery to reattach the braid, and changing your eye color back."}
Snapped from his daydream, Duo found himself still sitting in front of the mirror. He got up to go take a bath, when his laptop started to beep. Opening the message, fear gripped his heart. Running out of the apartment, he made his way to wear Omega was hidden, leaving the message open on the laptop:
" 02,
Others in need of help, make haste"
*********************
Duo cursed everyone in Oz to Hell. He raced to the battle co-ordinates. G contacted him in Omega, he found out the others were in serious trouble. //Shit Shit Shit...Damn it all// Fury poured from his very being, masking the worry for his friends. Apparently they had moved into a very cleaver trap with the Theta. //If I would have destroyed that damn thing last time..// His thoughts were cut off as he saw a sight that chilled his blood. There stood an army of Aries, Leos and the Theta surrounding the four gundams. All four were heavily damaged, typing quickly on the keyboard, he patched into the other four's systems to see their status. Wing's power supply was dangerously low, Heavyarm's had no ammunition, Nataku sustained massive damage, power was on the Fritz, Sandrock's scimitars we in two pieces, the left arm almost hanging off the shoulder joint. Death entered his eyes, moving to grasp the controls Omega boosted speed to engage the enemy.
"We are surrounded , and by the looks of it we've lost." Quatre sadly stated, trying to keep Sandrock on his feet.
"We cannot be captured, nor let the gundams fall into their hands. The only choice is to self destruct and hope to take all these bastards with us" Heero delivered in his iced tone.
//I'm coming Duo, just wait a little bit more// Heero flipped up the panel concealing the self destruction button. Moving his hand to press it. Hearing their plans of self destruction, Duo raced faster to reach them. Deciding to break his silence, he opened a channel to the other four. "Don't go blowing yourselves up yet",
Omega ripped through the sky. Activating the Scythe, Omega attacked four suits at once. The Fire of Judgment disposing the suits, he landed three feet from the crippled gundams. Quatre paused upon hearing the voice, opening the line back. "Thank Allah you are here." //That voice, I know it// Heero thought.
Omega stood before the squad of Aries and Leos. Gripping the scythe he shot into the sky, hurling the scythe in a downward arc, destroying a portion of the suits. The Aries took to the sky, firing wildly. Duo navigated through the barrage of weapons fire, only sustaining minor damage. He planned on luring them away from the other four. "What the Hell?" alarms went off in the cockpit, checking the screen he saw the Theta attacking Wing. //That Bastard will pay for attacking Him.// Spinning around to face seven Aries, he locked onto them and fired. The blue blast ,shot from the gun ports on Omega's forearms, engulfed everything within it's path in blue destruction. Diving through the sky towards Wing, he pulled the saber from it's compartment. //No one messes with my koi and gets away with it// Vengeance lending it's powers to Death.
Heero desperately tried to fight off the powerful suit. Wing took a beating, the pilot being thrown against the safety harnesses, repeatedly. Trowa and Wufei were busy trying to protect Quatre from the remaining Leos, slowly the enemy suits were destroyed. Turning toward Wing they saw it take a direct hit from the saber, severing the right arm. Wing fell to the ground. The Theta, poised saber above its head, moved to make the killing blow. Omega's saber sliced through the Theta, severing the arms then it grabbed the Theta from behind and took off into the air. Lifting higher and higher, he came to a stop just hovering in mid air. Letting the suit go and watching it plummet to it's demise. Vengeance and anger still clouded the pilot's thoughts, the air around Omega began to protest the searing power that collected in the machine's palms. Duo took one final look at Oz's new suit, he released the collected power, watching the suit's agonizing destruction. //Mission accomplished..Heero!//.
Grasping the controls once again, he piloted the suit toward the fallen form of his love. //Be okay, please just be ok//. Opening the channel, he tried to get a hold of Wing's pilot but got no answer. Omega landed right next to Wing, opening the hatch, Duo jumped down from his suit. Climbing onto wing, he hit the emergency open mechanism.
The others watched as the friendly suit landed near Wing, jaws dropped when they saw who jumped out of the hatch. "That is the singer!!!!" was all that Wufei was able to say. The shock that the Rising Star was the pilot of the mysterious gundam, completely overwhelmed them. Quatre felt an odd sensation of familiarity in his space heart.
Once the hatch was open, Duo looked into the cockpit. He saw Heero's limp form in the seat, a gash on this forehead. Jumping in, he began to unbuckle the harnesses. "Wake Up...come on Wake up" He tried to rouse the pilot, panic once again filling his heart. Once the harnesses were unbuckled, he lifted the prone form into his arms and awkwardly climbed out of Wing. Jumping down from the chest, he landed on the ground, gently shaking Heero trying to wake him up. //Wake Up....don't you dare die on me//. Tears welling up in his eyes, his shoulders started shaking. The faint sounds of a groan met his ears. Quickly opening his eyes and looking down, he was met with hazy blue eyes.
"It's you." was the groggy statement
"Yes, it's me" Heero grabbed one of his hands and burrowed further into the embrace.
All five returned to the safehouse, Duo still holding the still form of the Wing Pilot. He followed the other three to Heero's room, and placed him on the bed. Turning around his face met with Wufei's fist.
"That was for the stunt you pulled with Nataku"
Getting up from the floor, he simply nodded and walked toward the door intending to leave. Quatre grabbed his arm, saying they needed to talk. Agreeing they went to the study.
"So why didn't you answer us at all the last time?" Wufei was still peeved.
"Orders. I was to remain silent." was the curt reply. //Damn Wufei still stubborn as ever.
"If you were to remain silent, why did you break it today, then jump out of your gundam, revealing yourself?" Trowa asked
//Damn Damn Damn. How am I going to explain this// He opened his mouth to speak but was interrupted by Heero's voice.
"Guys leave him alone. At least he helped us." Needless to say they were all shocked by this. Although Wufei was still mad, he was muttering something about justice under his breath. Duo had to hide a smirk. //How the hell am I suppose to get through this// He sighed and prepared himself for a very long day.
***************************
(Five days later: The day of the concert)
The last four days went well considering Duo had to be careful around the others. They talked and got to know `Adam'. They seemed to accept him into the group, seeing how his gundam was advanced and all. //And now here I am in this damn outfit again..but now Setsuna made me wear pink!! Grrrr If she wasn't such a good friend and worked for G...// Trying to calm down, he thought of the small party earlier, it was nice. //Who would have guessed Relena actually had a heart. Gah..bad thought.// He reprimanded himself for that thought. //Although, Heero seemed pleased with his `gift' from her. Me...// he chuckled at that. //Ah but which one. Shinigami or Adam, gods this is so hard.// Getting up from his seat, he made his way to the stage.
Heero watched the figure upon the stage. //Damn, he looks good in that outfit// Trying so hard not to drool, he focused on the voice of the singer.
"Thanks everyone!! This will be the final song for the night, it is called "Mujer Latina" one of my favorites."
Heero's head shot up upon hearing the name of the song, memories assaulted his mind.
"Vengo de raza y de palmera De campo y de labriego De caņa y de madera Mi orgullo es ser latina De mar y cordillera Ardiente como el fuego Soy sangre de mi tierra"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^
After checking for any messages from Dr. J, Heero got up from his spot at the kitchen table to look for `his' baka. //I wonder what he is up to//. First going to their room only to come up empty handed, he decided to try the Rec. Room. While getting closer to the doors, he could hear music blasting away
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
"Soy la hembra sandunguera Caliente como un fogon Dulce cuando me enamoro Y entrego mi corazon Soy la hermana de la rumba De la gaita y del tambor Del fuego y la sabrosura Que llevo en esta cancion Y te digo"
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Silently opening the doors he was treated with Duo dancing in the middle of the room, his slim hips gyrating to the sensual vocals of some female singer. Eyes closed, his hands reached up into the air moving slowly as the hip movements slowed to sensual swaying. Heero was enthralled by the performance. Duo wondrous voice accompanied the vocalist
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
Heero watched as the figure on the stage danced to the rhythm of the music, tears in his eyes.
"Vengo vengo vengo de caņa Vengo vengo vengo del son Tengo tengo tengo en el alma Ritmo ritmo ritmo y sabor Vengo de raza y de palmera De campo y de labriego De caņa y de madera Mi orgullo es ser latina De mar y cordillera Ardiente como el fuego Soy sangre de mi tierra"
He gasped as Adam sang those lyrics, he watched the movements which were exactly like those from Duo. //Could it be??// Making his way from the crowd, he went to Adam's dressing room and waited.
Breathe coming in gasps, Adam bowed on stage and went to his room. He was not expecting to find Heero there with that glare. //This is not good// "Hi Heero, what are you doing here?"
"Who are you?" was the rude response. Taken aback from the venom in the voice, he replied. "What do you mean, who am I. I'm the same person I've always been."
"Duo..is it you?" barely a whisper.
Turning his back to Heero, Duo's mind whirled. //How did he figure it out? Damn You Maxwell, of course he'd remember that song.// Cursing himself for the idiot he was, he didn't hear Heero approach him.
"Is it?"
Turning around to face Heero meaning to tell him no, he saw that face. Tears running down his face. //I can't lie to him anymore// So he answered him by reciting a part of his favorite poem.
"I await patiently
for the one, with my key
to finish unlocking the fire
as it radiates like
that of the Phoenix."
//It is Him// Heero threw himself at Duo, both crashing to the floor. He desperately clung to the body of his thought to be dead koi. The sobs racking his body as he called Duo a bastard and every other name in the book. Duo found himself on the floor with a sobbing Heero hitting him, with no energy, calling him names between sobs. "I'm so so sorry Heero, I..." He was cut off by Heero's mouth claiming his. After breaking the kiss, he spoke. "Not now Duo, we can talk later. I have you back now and I'm not letting go"
Reclaiming the others mouth in a bruising kiss. Duo's mind just shut down and his body just reacted to Heero. Moaning as they moved against each other, friction building between the two bodies. He opened his mouth and was rewarded with an invading tongue exploring every inch. Coming up from air, Heero looked down at the boy under him.
"Duo, I need you" was all he could say. Duo wasn't in any better shape as he just grunted a yes and thrusted up against the warmth covering him. Needing no more consent, Heero began stripping Duo of the little clothing he had on. Soon he lied there, gloriously nude. Practically ripping his own clothes off, Heero reclaimed that sweet mouth.
Unable to think, Duo was reduced to nothing. The body above him sending jolts of pleasure through his body. He was vaguely aware of Heero grabbing some bottle off of his desk. So distracted by that mouth, he hardly noticed one slick finger enter him. Heero was producing the most wonderful feelings, soon a second joined the first finally a third. Duo arched his back and moaned as a jolt of pure sexual energy surged through his already overly sensitive body.
Heero's was still in shock, his Duo was alive and with him. He intended on never letting him go again. Hearing the sounds he was making, only made his need grow. Pulling the fingers out, he liberally coated his member and positioned himself at Duo's entrance. Slowly pushing passed the tight ring, moaning at the tightness. He watched Duo's face as he slowly slid passed the relaxed muscle and entered his koi.
Duo was in heaven, feeling Heero nudging at this entrance, feeling a slight pain overshadowed immense pleasure, he relaxed his muscles and moaned as Heero slide inside him. Feeling him buried all the way in him, Duo wanted him to move but he wouldn't. Wiggling around trying to give him a hint, but Heero wouldn't move. "Please, Heero please I need you"
Hearing the confession, Heero pulled almost all the way out and moved back in. Slow thrusts gradually sped up until both were panting and the sound of skin slapping against skin filled the room along with their moans. Feeling close to the edge, Heero grabbed Duo's member and started pumping at the same rhythm. Duo cried out as he came, Heero thrusting in him and pumping him were too much, covering them with his essence. Heero, feeling Duo clamp down on him, thrusted three more times before he shouted out and his seed filled Duo for the first time, binding them together.
By sheer strength of will, Heero held himself up as he pulled his softening member out of Duo. Lying next to him, he pulled Duo into a fierce embrace, and whispered into his ear. "Ai shiteru". Crying once again, Duo turned to face Heero. "I love you too". They remained there in each other's arms, slowly they both fell asleep, content for the first time in a long while.
The door opened and Setsuna peeked in, seeing the two boys cuddled together, she smiled. "Mission Accomplished" Shutting the door she went to detour the others.
