Disclaimer: I don't own Gundam Wing, and if I did, I wouldn't know where to begin to spend all that money. And, I would probably be banned from every recording studio in Japan for my stalking of seiyuu. I make no money. Enjoy. |
Disclaimers: (sigh) No part of Mobile Suit Gundam Wing, or its characters, belongs to me. Any references to Dogma are just made because I adore the movie and Kevin Smith, and are meant only out of love and affection for both. Not a single cent was made off of this piece of fanfiction. Suing would be inevitably pointless, seeing as how I have no money. Flames -will- be used to entertain my rabid muses... All three of them... They live for the things.
A/N: Life is kinda strange. Anyway, I’ve just been working on fics in the order that my muses give me the words. Besides, it took me so long to find an acceptable song for this chapter, which is starting to become a fad, sadly. >>

I know he said we'd be together
In my mind
It meant forever
But things have changed
They're not the same
How can we go on lovin' this way
You say you love me
But you really don't
You want to argue
And I just won't
It's bad enough
I have to come home to
A man who puts me in a real bad mood
I wanna be free
From the love
From the pain
From the heartache
You're causing me
~ I Wanna Be Free, Eden’s Crush

Free
Throughout the next few months of being shut out of Wufei’s mind and, practically, his life, I spent a lot of time pondering what God said to Hilde and I when the twins were born. What was so special about them? I mean, I know that She considered multiple births as miracles, but the way that She said it, I felt there was something else behind it. The two of them seemed so normal. Meiran was a healthy, active, beautiful teenage girl, and Wufei was a smart, attractive, healthy young man. So, why did God tell us that they were so special? What was it that I was missing?
There were a few direct attempts on Wufei’s life, although the humans all attested it to really bad luck. However, Hilde, Noin and I were on high alert for any sign of Solo in the attacks. I mean, almost being hit by two cars, almost having a potted plant fall on his head, and being mugged three times in three months is too much to be a coincidence. Of course, the thought of actually catching Solo being sloppy enough to be found red-handed was ridiculous, but I was distraught with the safety of my charge.
After nearly falling down a flight of steps for the fifteenth time, Wufei finally turned to me to speak. – What is going on here, Duo? –
- Are you finally speaking to me again, Wufei? -
- Whom else would I be calling Duo? -
- I dunno. I’m just making sure. – I sighed, knowing that this conversation was long overdue, but still not wanting to have it. I’d have to explain a lot to a human, and there was still a lot that I was missing. – Later, when we’re alone. It’s going to take a while to tell you about it. -
- And in the meantime? - He sounded as annoyed as I felt and I really wanted to reach out and hug him at that moment.
- I’ll watch out for you. Don’t worry. -
- That is hardly very reassuring, Duo. However, I will trust you. - He sighed so heavily that I couldn’t help but join him. How was I supposed to tell him that a demon was out to kill him, and it was entirely my fault?
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
“Yeah, any ideas, Hilde?” I asked my fellow heavenly companion, needing help with this crisis as much as possible. The children were in class and we were in the hallway. Noin had stayed home with Relena, who was ill that day.
“Duo, just be honest with him. Tell him that Solo’s a very angry ex-lover and is out to hurt you by hurting your new charge. I don’t know if he’ll accept it or not, but it’s true and there’s not much else you can do. Solo’s now overstepped so many boundaries that I’m surprised there’s not a bounty on his black little head.”
“And what makes you think there isn’t,” said a voice that had the both of us turning around. In front of us stood Lilith, Hell’s chief female demon, in all her resplendent glory. She was dressed in a red, slinky gown that left very little to the imagination as it clung to her slim body and plentiful cleavage. Her black hair was left to hang freely around her shoulders and the tops of her black, bat-like wings. Her make-up was immaculate – blood red lips, kohl-lined black eyes, and perfect skin with a pale blush. Every part seemed perfectly human, aside from the wings, and therefore made her one of the more dangerous enchantresses of Hell’s legion. “Where is he, Duo?”
“What makes you think I know, Lady Lilith?”
“Because he wants you, Diachriel. Don’t play dumb with me. I know that underneath that cute face and big violet eyes that there is a very sharp and frightening mind. Let’s just say that if something does happen to your adorable little charge, I hope that we catch him first.” A cold smile graced her beautiful face. “You would have been a nice addition to our ranks, but you’re just too damn good in the end. Such a pity.”
“No, it’s not,” Hilde said heatedly. “Duo is perfect where he is. He’s making a difference, you she-devil!”
“Oh, relax, Hildariel. I didn’t come up to recruit him. It’s impossible anyway. Like I said, Duo’s too good for his own good in the end. I’m looking for Soliriel. I just thought that since you two goody-goodies are here that he’d be somewhere close by, spying on Diachriel like the perfect little stalker that he’s become.” She heaved a bored sigh that made her breasts move with the effort. “However, if I can’t even sense him here, he must be off causing mischief that was unassigned. Also, Lucifer has said that the boy’s uncle is now off limits to us. I thought you’d appreciate that little tidbit.” She blew us a kiss and was gone in the blink of an eye.
“I don’t believe that even Lucifer has all of Hell are seeking Soliriel now. This has gotten very dangerous for us,” Hilde said. I could see that she wanted to go back up to Heaven to talk to God, and probably our friends as well.
“I can watch them both while they are in class. Go report this to Up High. Maybe Metatron or one of the others have an idea what we can do,” I said wearily. I wanted a nap, a nice long nap. “Besides, if anything did happen, you’d be the first to know, wouldn’t you?” She flashed me a grateful smile and disappeared as well, leaving me to my brooding and disturbing thoughts. As if we didn’t have enough to deal with, now there was this development.
At least we didn’t have to worry about Li anymore, I guess. How wrong I was.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
“Where is she, Xu?” Li yelled from outside the Chang house, pounding on the locked doors. I was extremely proud that Wufei had suggested they change the locks after the incident that hospitalized his beloved aunt. “Tao-Mee! Get out here! Now, woman!”
Meiran was sitting next to her aunt, stroking the woman’s hair and talking quietly to her as she cried. Wufei stood guard over his female relatives, talking to his father over the phone about the situation. The look of rage that contorted his gorgeous features made me wonder what the human boy would do when I told him about Solo. Not to mention the fact that my former soul-companion had used his uncle in our celestial battle.
“Yes, Father. I will do that,” Wufei said, his eyes ranking over the womenfolk. “I will see you when you arrive home.” He hung up. “Father says to call the police and to not open the door. Also, I suppose that we will have to stay close to Tao-Mee until a) the police take him away; b) he goes away and doesn’t return; or c) Father comes home.”
“I am so sorry, children,” Tao-Mee said, wiping tears from her ragged face and looking at her niece and nephew gratefully.
“How could we leave you alone with him out there?” Meiran asked, helping the older woman up from the couch. “I will help you up to your room and then make dinner.”
“Oh, no. You can’t! I should make dinner for you all.”
“Bó mǔ [1], you do not have to do anything for us. Please, go rest,” Wufei said gently, coming over and placing a kiss on the woman’s cheek. Slowly, she nodded and left the room by herself, and moments later, the sound of her footsteps could be heard by the children. “Dà niáng [2] is far too stressed. We should watch her for the next few days.”
“Dà yé [3] has gone too far. Why can’t he just leave?” Meiran yelled. “Hasn’t he done enough? He should know that if Father hadn’t taken in dà niáng after what happened that that would have been a blow to the family’s honour?”
“I don’t think that dà yé is thinking at all, Mei.” Wufei looked at the clock on the wall and sighed. “I will call the police if you start cooking dinner. I will help you once I am finished.”
“No, I’ll cook. Just call the police and wait for them to show. We will need someone to “protect” us until Father gets home.” She scoffed and then headed off into the kitchen.
- Do you know any way to get him to leave without involving the authorities? - Wufei thought to me.
- No, your best bet is to let the police deal with it. I can’t use my powers for evil, ‘Fei. You know that. - Humour is supposed to be the best way to lighten the mood and help people deal with situations that are too difficult under normal circumstances. However, I think he was taking me far too seriously.
- Yes, I know, Duo. Thank you for being here with us. - Yep, and damn did that mar me!
- As if I could be anywhere else at a time like this, - I thought back to him, the hurt showing in my voice.
- I didn’t mean it like that. - He gave a heavy sigh and began dialing. - I do not want to do this, but I have no choice. -
I guess that I should have thanked Li for only delaying the inevitable. I just didn’t have the energy to explain about Solo that day.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I guess I should take a break from the story right now to explain a few things. There are a few rare times when Hell and Heaven’s legions have worked together to catch rogue elements, whether they be human, demon, or angel. Our truces have never lasted much longer than it takes to catch and confine that being, but they have occurred. I think that the last time something happened like this, we were searching after some kid who’d found a way to reanimate corpses. Yuck, by the way.
In the scheme of things, what the kid was doing was really dangerous to the balance of nature. However, his creation ended up killing him and his family. It was really quite said. There’s a book about it somewhere, although it’s seen as fiction. Wufei is saying that it sounds like Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein; however, no matter what you think, it really did happen.
The creature was eventually found and eradicated by Lucifer himself. That guy’s extremely vain when it comes down to it. He couldn’t stand the competition when it came to pissing God off over the rules. The creator was welcomed into Hell. After that, I’m pretty blank. The man’s family is in Heaven. On occasion, I’ve had the chance to meet a few of them.
But, that was the last time, so you can see that it takes quite a while and quite a disruption to the balance of things for Lucifer to use what little good he has for the sake of restoring order. Of course, I could be wrong about his motivation. I never really knew him well enough to find out what made him tick.
Okay, okay, I’m getting dirty looks and now I think it’s time to return back to the story, or I might find myself in trouble from a certain gorgeous, easily excited Asian. Hm… Now that I think about it, maybe I don’t want to…. Alright, Wufei, I’m going back. Ow.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
The authorities did have to come and take Li away from the Chang residence. Tao-Mee was convinced by her brother-in-law, niece, and nephew to press charges for the attack against her, even though she really wasn’t for it. For many days after his visit, she sat in the living room and silently sobbed. Nothing that anyone said to her made a difference. She was still miserable and convinced that she had failed as a wife, and had in turn dishonoured both her family and that of her husband.
So, yes, I was spared from having to explain the situation to Wufei yet again, and I’m sorry to say that I was a little bit happy with that. I still hadn’t figured out the best way to tell him, and it was driving me insane. About a week after the Li incident, Wufei was in class with the others when the perfect solution struck me. I wondered why it hadn’t occurred to me before.
“Hilde, Noin, would you keep an eye for Wufei? I have something I have to do Upstairs.” They both gave me puzzled looks, but they agreed to look after him while I attended to my business.
Quickly floating up to Heaven, I raced to where God was holding court with the Seraphim. She acknowledged my presence, pointed to a spot next to Her, and continued talking to the other angels. I paid attention to what was being said, mostly for the reason that they were discussing the situation with Solo and a truce with Lucifer and Hell over the whole ordeal. There was also talk about Dorothy and Une’s review. That I was only mildly interested in, so I ignored most of it. The only bit I gleamed was that their current charge, Treize Khushrenada, was their final shot at staying in their current positions.
Finally, God dismissed all the Seraphim, until She, Metatron and I were the only beings around. “Ah, Playful One, how may I help you?”
“Well, My Lord, I was wondering if I could ask you about something that involves my current charge.”
“Of course you may. Now, whether or not I’ll answer it is another story altogether.” She winked at me, and a great swelling of love for Her rose in me.
“How do I begin?”
“At the beginning, Diachriel,” Metatron added in, smirking before giving me a genuine smile.
“Yeah, thanks, Mettie, old boy.” I gave him a wink of my own before becoming serious again. “Well, we all know the situation with Wufei, Solo and I. However, Wufei has become suspicious of all the ‘accidents’ that have been occurring. I’d like to be honest with him and tell him what’s going on, but I’m not sure how much I can tell him or if I even should. I’ve been going over and over and over this with myself in the last few weeks, and…. I’m at a loss.”
“Duo, my darling and precious Playful One, I understand how important with this particular charge is. However, you must realize that discretion is going to have to play a large part in what has happened, especially if you are going to retain any sort of relationship with him at this point. Later on, he may be ready to hear it all, but at this point, he is still a young child. Intellectually, Wufei is very wise, but in his heart, he is still a very young and scared little boy. You will find the perfect way to tell him when you do. I trust in your abilities.”
I stared at Her, stunned. How in Heaven did She expect me to live up to what She believed was in me? I blinked a few times, causing Her to just smile at him before nodding. “Are you sure?” I squeaked out.
Metatron laughed before coming over to me and clasping my shoulder. “Diachriel, you’re the only one that doesn’t trust yourself. Maybe you should think about that.”
I looked up at him and then back at God. After a few moments, I nodded back, realizing how I was going to explain everything to Wufei and just how much. “Thank you, both of you.”
“You are more than welcome, Duo,” God said.
=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=
I arrived back to Earth, feeling for Wufei. His presence tugged on my own, directing me to his house. He was in his room, studying from the looks of it, his gold-rimmed glasses sliding off his nose as he absentmindedly tugged at a strand of hair that had fallen from his usual ponytail.
“I will be done with this chapter in a few moments, Duo,” he said, never looking up. I couldn’t help but smile at him as I sat on his bed and waited for him to be finished. I was just happy to study his profile from where I was. At thirteen, he was only about five foot tall, maximum, but what he lacked in stature he made up for in an unconscious charisma. His black hair was normally slicked back into a ponytail to reveal a wide and intelligent forehead. His brownish-black eyes felt like they could burn right through you to your very soul, if I’d had one. His handsome features made you feel as if you were standing next to an Asian godling. And last, but certainly not least, his physical prowess made you feel as if you were lacking, no matter how good you really were.
“Alright, I am finished.” He closed his book and swung his chair around so we were facing one another. “I assume that you have come to talk about what we agreed upon.”
“I have,” I replied. I didn’t want to, but I knew I had no choice in the matter. It was time to get this over with.
