Chapter 5:
Duo looks sadly down at me before gently crouching beside my head. His hand reaches out to hold my shaking one. Kissing it lightly, he sits Indian style beside me, still holding my hand. "Don’t do this, koi. This isn’t the way." His voice is light and flowing with just a tinge of melancholy.
I shake my head at him, not understanding. "Duo? What?" I am confused, confused by his appearance and by his words. The pills and blood loss were rapidly clouding my ordinarily sharp mind.
Duo shakes his head before gently kissing me on the lips. I feel light headed at the gentle caress, my eyes struggle to stay open. I have to finish what I started. I must die. But even as the thoughts invade my mind, I feel a tingling sensation running all over my abused and battered body. I look down to see that Duo has moved. He is now directly behind me and I am wrapped in his pale almost see through arms. I tremble unconsciously when I feel his hands slowly skimming over my naked, bloody chest. A soft white glow emanates from his palms and I know what he is attempting. He is trying to heal me.
"Duo, stop. Please, just let me die."
Duo shakes his head and bites his lower lip. "I can’t do that. You are needed here."
I too shake my head in denial. "I want to be with you."
Duo tilts his head sideways. "You are. Everyday. Look inside yourself. You’ll find me there in your memories."
I laugh derisively. "Memories? I can’t hold a memory. I can’t make love to a memory, Duo. I need to be with you. Without you, I am not complete."
Duo sighs and tightens his hold on me. "I feel the same way. But this is not the way. You must realize what you are doing to yourself. What you will do to Quatre if he finds you dead like me? He could barely handle it once, let alone twice. You’ll destroy him too."
I blink. I didn’t want anything to happen to the small blond. He was the only true friend I had after Duo died. I believe I even depended on him for awhile. However, there was something in that light carefree tone that suggested I should know something more than I did. "What are you getting at?"
Duo raised an inquisitive eyebrow at me. "You mean you haven’t noticed?"
"Noticed what?" I am really lost now.
Duo chuckles lightly as he hugs me tight. God, he feels so good. I snuggle back into his embrace, wanting to feel him surrounding me.
"Oh, koi. You are so hopeless. It’s no wonder you want to die. You are blind to everything around you. Haven’t you felt me near you? I have been extremely worried about you."
"Worried about me? Why?" I asked dumbfounded.
Duo fades slightly and I clutch on to him tighter. I didn’t want him to go.
"I’m not leaving you. I’ll never leave you, but you have got to let the others in. They are worried about you, like I am."
I shake my head. "They don’t care. They just feel sorry for me. I am nothing to them."
"You’re wrong. Quatre cares. He loves you."
My mouth drops open in shock. "Nani?"
Duo pulls out of my grip easily and begins to pace nervously. "I have always known. I saw the looks he gave you when he thought no one was looking. At first I was jealous and I admit it, angry, but when I died, I had hoped he would anchor you. Keep you stable. I knew what my death would do to you, and I didn’t want it to eat you alive. Instead, you turned him away. Even he, one who is so caring and loving, can only take so much. He knew you needed time and he was willing to wait. But you tried to cut all ties from him and the other pilots. Why, koi?"
I look away from him, not wanting to see the pain I know is reflected there. "I thought I would be better off alone . . ."
Duo snorted. "You mean better to kill yourself, don’t you?"
I didn’t answer him. He already knew the answer.
"Damn it!! You’re as stubborn as ever. Do you even know that he is looking for you right now? He knows something is wrong."
My head jerks up at this. "He doesn’t know where I am, does he?"
Duo didn’t answer my question and thus, I had my answer. "Oh God . . . Please don’t let him see me this way. Please," I whisper as I let my head hang down in exhaustion and fear. Irritably I rub at my eyes as my vision swims in and out of focus. I know I am close to passing out.
Duo sits beside me again and takes my feverish body into his gentle hands. I shiver as I hear his whispered words in my ear.
"God has heard your prayer, love. However, he can’t grant you your wish. I am here to lead Quatre to you. He cares very much for you."
I stare up at the ethereal boy, not really sure how I came to be lying down. "I . . . I know that he cares, Duo. But I still want to be with you." I know that sounds childish but it is how I truly feel. Duo was the glue that held me together; I don’t want nor need anyone else to fill that position. I shook my head as I realized Duo was speaking to me.
"You will be with me someday, koi. I’ll wait forever for you but if you do this, we’ll never find each other again. People who commit suicide are doomed to be trapped between worlds. You could be lost forever. Please, reconsider."
I blinked. I hadn’t thought of that. I didn’t want to spend eternity in limbo. I wanted to be with Duo. Then an idea came to me. "Well, you said Quatre is on the way here. I’ll just have him kill me then."
Duo jerked away in surprise. "You can’t mean that!! You would doom him too? You would stain his hands with even more innocent blood? He would go to Hell when he died because he took your life and his life on Earth would also be Hell without you. He would be devastated if he lost you. You simply can’t ask this of him. You don’t have the right. Don’t you understand?"
I didn’t, but I didn’t feel like arguing anymore. Shivering, I said softly, "I’m cold, Duo."
Duo immediately moved to hold me again, the white glow enveloping us both. I could feel the energy trying to stabilize my weak body. "I’m sorry, Duo," I mumble against his white clothed chest.
Duo pulled back slightly in astonishment. "For what?"
I shake my head slightly. "For not being here to protect you . . ."
"It’s not your fault. I was foolish. I should have checked better."
I shake my head in denial but everything is starting to spin. I feel myself starting to slide into a potentially never ending darkness, but not before I hear Duo’s whispered words.
"Hurry Quatre. I’m losing him . . ."
