Shattered Innocence: The Damned
Chapter 2: “The Choosing”
Duo waited for the gate to open. He
stood, then paced, then stood still, again. He rolled his violet-blue eyes
and sighed. He pushed back his long, light brown, braided, hair and folded
his arms. He tapped his foot impatiently.
“Kei!! Open up!!” Duo shouted.
Finally, the gates opened and Duo strolled
into the front yard. He got to the doors and opened it. He walked in
and closed the door behind him.
“Kei, your favorite brother is here to see
you!”
No answer. He raised an eyebrow and
began looking for her in the enormous house. Her bedroom, nothing. The studio,
nothing. The tv room, nothing. The kitchen…
“There you are! I’ve been- whaaa!?” Duo
was surprised to see her with Heero.
“Duo?” Kei looked up at him.
Heero just glared at him. Duo was completely
confused.
“Heero, why are- wait… I see what’s going
on! Ha!! Heh-heh… I never would have guessed. So, what happened with Relena?
Hm, hero?” Duo spoke teasingly.
“Duo?” Kei asked again in a melancholy
tone.
“Huh?” Duo became serious and confused,
“This isn’t what I think it is…is it? Maybe I’d better go…”
He began to leave, but caught a glimpse
of something odd on Kei’s neck. Two small, purple bruises. He left without
asking. Kei would never tell him what happened. He left the house and headed
back home.
Heero stared at her intensely with
those ice blue eyes, which made her feel uneasy.
“People watch you everyday,” he continued,
“and you’re uncomfortable by me staring at you?”
“Excuse me for getting a little twitchy.
Anyway, how can you tell? I wasn’t showing it, was I?”
“Didn’t you notice a difference about
your surroundings?”
“I-I…I did.”
“Your senses become more susceptible to
everything."
“I’ve noticed… So, why’d you pick me?”
“Because.”
“I’m going to need a better answer than
that.”
“…Vampires choose their chylde for different
reasons. Different interests.”
“Why me? What was your reason for choosing
me? Your interest in me?”
“…”
“Huh? You could be happier with anybody else…Relena
or Duo-”
“Not true.”
“What!?”
