Chapter 8


Hands touching him, everywhere... Could a dream be so real?

Heero groaned, burying his hands in Duo's chestnut hair. He always wanted the braided boy to touch him like this... but something was wrong...

Something hummed through his veins. It felt almost like desire, pleasure, pure wanting. But it was too close to an electrical current. Duo smirked at the boy, and sank his teeth into the pale soft flesh of Heero's shoulder.

Kami-sama... this feels so good...

Slitted amethyst eyes met Prussian ones, and Heero froze, shock taking the place of the current in his body.

T-the eyes!


"Let the fools who stand before me be destroyed by the power you and I possess!" Liena cried, holding a ball of energy above her head. "DRAGU SLAVE!"

"Was that really necessary?"

"Of course!" she raged. "It's perfectly necessary! Damn it, Valia, I thought you knew about that!" There were also a nice piece of the surrounding hills gone.

The aqua haired girl shrugged. "Hey, I was barely out of the egg when L-sama made me, Mom, and Dad go to the Sea of Chaos. I don't know anything about revenge." The young girl looked up at Liena, blinking her big blue eyes. "Um, Liena?"

"Yeah?"

"How were you able to cast the Dragu Slave? I thought Shabraningdo had..." Valia suddenly remember who she was talking to. "Sorry. I forgot there was at least one piece left."

"There are two sealed pieces," Liena said, voice clipped.

"Oh."

"Valia-chan?" a gentle voice said. "What are you doing here, Valia-chan?"

Liena turned around to see a blond teenaged boy with a tall brown haired boy. "'Valia-chan?'" she whispered to the young girl. "How the hell did you meet them in such a short time?!"

"They're Gundam Pilots, Liena," she said in an exaggerated patient tone of voice. "You asked me to find the chimera and Mazoku, and perhaps the other Pilots, and I found them. Unfortunately, I think Mom's forgotten about the past." Her blue eyes narrowed. "The namagomi Mazoku..."

Liena sweat dropped. She's definitely her mother's girl...

"Valia-chan, who's your..." The blond trailed off as he got a good, long look at Liena. "Lina-san..."

Liena jerked suddenly, her ruby eyes wide. "W-what?!" She gaped at him. He... he couldn't possibly remember that!

Valia switched her glance from Liena to the blond, and back again. Shoulders straight, she walked over to the blond, and gave him a huge hug. "Quatre-san! It's nice to see you again!" The aqua haired girl bounced over to the unibanged brunet. "Trowa-san!"

The redhead shook her head, and extended her hand to Quatre. "Konban wa. My name's Liena Rinverse. You are...?"

He took her hand in his. "Quatre Reberba Winner. I'm sorry, miss. You just looked like someone I once knew."

"Hm." Playing stupid's always best, Liena, she told herself. "Who was she?"

Quatre shook his head. "It's nothing important. Oh, this is my friend, Trowa Barton."

Friend, my ass, Liena thought, fighting a smile. You two are so lovers. The fiery tressed girl smiled graciously, and extended a hand to the unfortunate Trowa, who had to first pry the overfriendly Valia off him before accepting her handshake silently.

"This is Liena, Trowa-san," the girl chirped, showing maturity for her image, a seven year old. "She's my legal guardian!"

Liena sweat dropped. "Yeah. Valia-chan, we have to go. You have something to do. It was nice to meet you, Quatre-san, Trowa-san." She almost literally dragged the young girl away from the two boys.

"I still can't believe Mom's a boy now."


Gold Dragons, arching across the sky...

Ruby red eyes, twinkling like the gold stolen...

Gold and red, intertwined...

Spilling over memories...

Hatred...

In the blue or red eyes?

In the chimera or the sorceress?

Or it just the Dragons?

Duo woke up, gasping for breath. God, I have never had a dream like that one... why is Heero's arm over me?
