Dragon's Blood

By: Quatre Raberba Winner (Quatre-Chan/Onna-Quatre)

It was a cool winter's night at the current safe house the G-boys had been staying in. Every one of the missions they had gone on went well, except with a slight mishap that Heero had witnessed on his last mission with WuFei.

WuFei was in his room and at this moment in time very grateful that he had his own room. 'This body is a curse.. .' He fell to his knees in pain, "No, not again.. ." he gasped as two wings sprouted from his back. He got to his feet and made a hasty retreat for the exit. Luckily, everyone was asleep.

Once out side he let out a loud anguish scream as he transformed into a black dragon and then he took off into the night sky.

The next morning the four other G-boys gathered in the kitchen for breakfast. Heero was in front of the stove cooking away and the other three were sitting at the table.

Duo looked around, "Hey, where's Wu?"

"Yeah, he's usually up before any of us." Quatre said as he too took a look around, "Could he be in the hanger?"

Heero walked away from the stove and served the food, "Possibly." He sat down next to his American lover, "We'll check on him after we eat."

And just as the leader said, they went to check on their Chinese comrade.

Trowa walked into the living room and looked at Heero, "He's not in the hanger."

"Hn."

"AAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" Quatre ran down the stairs and put his frightened arms around the Latin pilot, "TROWA!!!"

"What?"

"WuFei's room.. . Blood.. ."

Heero got up from his seat and walked up the stairs with his two friends close behind.

He walked into the room and looked at the pilot of Deathscythe, who was kneeling beside a puddle of crimson blood.

"Does WuFei have a hobby we don't know about?" the longhaired American asked as he stood up.

"Duo, search the rest of the house. Quatre and Trowa look outside. I'll clean up the blood. Meet me back here in ten minutes."

Everyone nodded and went to do their respective "missions".

Trowa stepped outside with Quatre hanging onto his arm with a death grip.

"WuFei?!" he called out.

No answer.

Quatre looked at the ground to see if he could find any tracks. "Trowa.. ."

"What's wrong?"

The blond Arabian pointed to the scraps of clothing that were scattered all over the front yard.

Heero had finished cleaning the room and Duo had rejoined him.

"How long could it take to check the front yard?" Duo whined.

Heero shrugged and dragged Duo out of the room by his braid to go outside and see what was keeping them.

"What's going on?" the Japanese boy demanded.

Quatre pointed to the scraps of clothing on the ground.

"Wow.. ." Duo gasped, "I never knew Wu liked to streak."

"DUO!" Heero scolded, "This is serious." He looked at the pilot of Heavyarms, "Warm up the truck, we're looking for him."

Trowa nodded and walked off.

The pilot of Sandrock looked at their leader, "But we don't know where he is."

"I know Quatre, but we can't take the chance that OZ might find him first. We REALLY can't take that chance."

"But Heero.. ."

"I know, go help Trowa."

The blond nodded and went to help his lover with the truck.

"Heero, you know something, don't you?"

"What makes you think that, Duo?" he walked away.

"Because I can tell when people lie and no one lies to Shinigami.. ." he muttered before he followed his silent koibito to the truck.

Within a matter of minutes they were off to find their comrade.

Hours later the boys found themselves looking around an isolated valley.

Quatre looked at the Japanese pilot and shivered, "Heero why are we looking here?"

"It's the only place we haven't looked."

"Heero?" Duo looked into the Prussian blue eyes of his koibito, "Why do we have to find him? Is he so important to you that you're going to dump me?"

Heero stopped in his tracks and grabbed the babbling American's shoulders, "Don't you ever, EVER think that. I love you and only you never forget that, but I know something about WuFei that could put his life in danger if we don't find him." He let go and continued to walk.

The others followed and came across a small ditch in the middle of the valley. The ditch was full of old scarps of mobile suits and old clothing.

"I guess this is where people go to hide things that they don't found.. ." Duo said as he followed the others into the ditch.

They walked around slowly just incase they found anything out of the ordinary.

Trowa knelt down and started to remove the pieces of mettle and under the last piece he found something that was definitely out of the ordinary. "Guys!"

The other three pilots heard their friend's call and ran over to their Latin comrade.

Quatre gasped at the sight before them. WuFei lay there without clothing and dried blood all over his back.

Trowa took the blond into his arms, hoping that the embrace would comfort him.

"Duo," Heero looked at the American and took WuFei into his arms, "go get the blanket out of the truck and bring it here. Now!"

Duo nodded and ran to the truck. A minute later he returned and draped it over the injured pilot.

The Chinese boy opened one onyx colored eye and looked at his comrades, "Where.. .?"

"Far away from home!" Duo glared at him, it was out of jealousy more than anything.

"What happened to you?" Quatre asked.

Heero opened his mouth to say something, then he felt WuFei move his hand and covered his mouth.

"You promised, Yuy. You promised you wouldn't tell.. ." he shut his eyes and fell unconscious.

Heero wrapped the blanket around his comrade's body and carried him towards the car.

Quatre and Trowa soon followed and Duo stood there glaring in the direction that his lover walked off in, "Mine's bigger.. ." he said to no one as he climbed out of the ditch and walked towards his comrades.

Once they got back to the safe house, Heero had brought WuFei to his room, Trowa and Quatre sat in their room talking about their recent incident and Duo was talking on the phone with someone.

"Yuy.. .?" WuFei whispered as he opened his eyes with hesitation.

"Hai." He helped him sit up, "How do you feel?"

"One things for certain my back is killing me.. ."

"WuFei, you have to tell the others."

He shook his head, "And get ridiculed even more?! No way. I already get picked on by Maxwell because I like to read and because I like to be by myself. I know Barton doesn't say much, but I know he thinks I'm a jackass and Winner thinks I call him weak." He shut his eyes and put a hand in front of his face, trying to hide his oncoming tears, "Yuy, if they find out about this, what makes you think they'll help me?"

"WuFei, they don't mean it. Quatre is very insecure about some things and he's heard you rant and rave about some people like that being weak. Trowa thinks you're a 'jackass' because he believes what Quatre tells him. By telling him that you thought Quatre was weak he'll think less of you. Duo on the other hand is just joking around." He sighed, "But this is something that must be taken care of. I remember when I first saw this happen, do you know what triggers it?"

The Chinese pilot shook his head, "I wish I did.. ."

"Get some rest and I'll see if I can find someone that will help you." He left the room.

Heero made his way into the kitchen and saw a note from Duo.

Dear Heero,

I just went out for a bit, I'll be back before dinner. You can make sure of that.

Love,

Duo

PS: I don't like you near WuFei. Stay away from him.

Heero shook his head and threw the note away and took out the phone book, "Hm.. . I remember taking out a book at the library that was about dragons, but it was research rather than a myth." He looked up and dialed the number for the library.

"Hello?"

Heero took a deep breath, "Hello, could you tell me the name of the author of the book; Dragon's Breath?"

"Hold on one moment." She put him one hold and then returned a few minutes later, "The author of the book is Ryuuzaki Koushiro. She's a local author in this town."

"Thank you." He hung up and looked through the phone book. He wrote down the address and ran back up to WuFei's room.

At the sound of the opening door, the Shenlong pilot looked at the person in the doorway, "What is it Yuy?"

"I think I've found someone who could help you. Do you remember that book I was reading about dragons?" he waited for an answer and then he continued, "The author lives in this town and she sounded like she knew what she was talking about. Maybe we could go see her."

He nodded and got dressed when Heero left the room.

The Japanese boy knocked on Quatre and Trowa's door.

Trowa opened it and looked at the Japanese boy, "What is it Heero?"

"I'm taking WuFei somewhere. Duo's already gone, but we'll be back." He blinked for a second, "Why'd you answer the door?"

"I have a right to answer the door to my room."

"Yeah, but Quatre usually answers it. Is he okay?"

Trowa sighed and stepped out of the room and shut the door, "I saw him shiver when we found WuFei and I assumed it was because we were walking in snow and you were only wearing your tank-top, shorts and sneakers. But it turned out that something's really wrong with him. He's developed a high fever and I just got him to go to sleep. When we were talking it looked like he was going to have a seizure and it also seemed odd that he was scared when he saw WuFei's blood on the floor. I don't know what to do."

Heero nodded in an understanding manner, "Do you think it's his space heart?"

Trowa shrugged and went back into the bedroom just as WuFei approached the Wing Gundam pilot.

They exchanged glances before going down stairs and leaving to go pay a visit to the author; Ryuuzaki Koushiro.

They drove for about an hour when they reached their destination. Heero pulled into the driveway and shut off the engine.

"Yuy, are you sure about this?"

"Hai.. . You need help and she might be the only one who can give it to you. Once this whole matter is taken care of I can deal with Duo."

"What did he do?"

Heero let out a sigh, "He thinks I'm cheating on him with you."

"No offence Yuy, but I'm going to throw up."

The Japanese boy laughed and got out of the car, "I know all of this is in Duo's head, but to be sure there is nothing between us, right?"

"Right, there's only friendship." He got of the car and walked to the door with Heero.

The Wing pilot rang the doorbell and within a few seconds it opened and the two boys were greeted by a pair of bright blue eyes.

"Can I help you?"

"Are you Ryuuzaki Koushiro?" Heero asked.

"Yes, what do you want?"

"We need to speak to about my friend here."

She looked the Chinese pilot over, "Come in." she opened the door all the way.

The two boys walked in and looked at the woman. She had brown hair that went down to her shoulder blades and she was wearing a short blue and white dress, white knee-high boots, a piece of cloth that seemed to resemble a glove with a lavender orb on it and last was the thing that caught the eyes of both boys; a golden dragon pendent that hung around her neck.

"Come this way please." She lead them to the living room.

She sat on one couch and the two pilots sat on the other and faced her.

"What can I do for you?"

Heero took a deep breath, "He can turn into a black dragon, but we don't know what causes him to transform. We were hoping you could help us."

"Hm.. ." she got out of her seat and went over to the bookshelf, then she returned with a book, "The cause of your transformation or rather in dragon clan terms ascension was caused by two stars."

"I don't follow." WuFei took a closer look at the book. The picture was showing them a full moon and a star on both sides.

"Look closely. As long as there's no moon you will not transform, however if there is some kind of moon and the stars line up like that you will become that dragon."

"What if he was in some kind of place where there were no windows or anything?"

She sighed, "Well he wouldn't transform. In a mater of speaking; if the stars can't see you nothing will happen. This line up is called 'the raven's eye'. Like a raven the stars watch you silently, but they will get to you."

The Shenlong pilot shook his head, then looked at Ryuuzaki, "Is there anyway to stop this with out putting me in a box?"

"The only reason you can transform at all is because you have something called a dragon gene. If we remove it.. ."

"Then I wouldn't be able to turn into that dragon and I'd be okay."

The young author stood up, "Now hold on! You would die if you didn't have it attached to you in some way. Black dragons hold tremendous power and with that power it hurts to transform. And from what I'm hearing you only have the one gene. If you lose that you are as good as dead. Do you want me to remove the gene?"

The Chinese pilot stood up and walked slowly to the door, "Yuy, I want to leave.. ."

"Hn." He got off the couch and walked towards WuFei.

"Hold it!" she walked over to the two boys and stopped a few inches behind them, "If you don't get that removed you are seriously endangering your friends. You came to me for help and you are going to get it whether like or not." She snapped her fingers, "One!"

A flat coffin came out of the ground.

She put her hand into a fist, "Two!"

Metal cuffs wrapped themselves around the boy's hands and feet.

She made the orb on her hand face the boy, "Three!" the orb gave off a bright glow. (*****Author's Note: Quatre-Chan had too much Dr. Pepper a.k.a happy pills and was watching Sailor Moon Super S while writing this scene, but it worked, ne?*****)

"AAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!" after the pain subsided he looked at the black crystal before him as he took in deep breaths in an effort to stay alive.

"That little crystal is the dragon gene?!" Heero gasped as he stared at the gem. He then turned his gaze to Ryuuzaki who had a dragon pendent, similar to the one she wore in her hands, "What are going to do to him?"

"I'm not going to hurt him, if that's what you think." She gently took the crystal into her grasp careful not to move it far away from its owner. She carefully placed the gem in the charm and then placed the necklace around the Chinese pilot's neck, "I told you that you could die without it attached to you in someway. Do not remove the necklace. And on another note, you can transform into your dragon at will because the power has been sealed within the necklace. Now if you no longer need my assistance please leave.. ." she made WuFei's restraints vanish then walked into the back room.

Heero and WuFei exchanged brief glances and then walked out of the house.

Ryuuzaki walked into the back room and looked at the figure in the shadows near the curtain, covered window, "Getting a little jealous of that Chinese boy, Shinigami?"

"Heero was mine first."

"Maybe. But you're worried over nothing, he's straight."

"Hm.. . why didn't you tell them you were the Lord of the Dragons?"

She let out a small chuckle, "They'll find out soon enough. Perhaps you should take your leave before they catch onto you. By the way, why do act so stupid?"

"What do you mean?" his violet eyes widened at the sound of the author's laughter, "If you're talking about that thing between WuFei and MY Heero.. ."

"That's exactly what I'm talking about. For a god you can be pretty dense. That Japanese boy loves you with all his heart and yet you still accuse him of cheating on you. I know you're the God of Death, but you still have a heart, use it. You might be surprised what the outcome will be."

Duo let his crooked smirk cross his face, "You like Wu, don't you?!"

She looked at him and smirked her self, "I'm sorry my dear Shinigami, but that is a secret.. ." she walked away.

Duo chuckled a bit and then left the house.

~*~*~*

A few hours later Duo had arrived back at the safe house while the other boys were in the kitchen eating dinner.

"I'm back!" he walked towards the kitchen.

Heero looked at him, "I thought you were coming back before dinner?"

"I thought you wouldn't cheat on me.. ."

"Duo."

The American laughed as he walked over to his koibito and gave him a small kiss on the cheek, "I'm kidding and I'm sorry for accusing you.. ." he sat down and looked around the table, "Where's Quatre?"

"Taking a shower." Trowa looked at his plate of food and started to nit pick at it, "I'm going to take care of him after I'm done eating."

"Is he okay?"

The Latin pilot shrugged, "He's really not feeling well. I just hope this isn't fatal.. ."

Quatre had gotten out of the shower, dried himself off and got into his pajamas. He walked out of the bathroom and sat on his side of the bed, "I feel awful.. ."

The window behind the blond Arabian shattered and some one grabbed him from behind. He struggled, but was still dragged away by the intruder.

The kitchen was rather silent. Duo looked at the pilot of Shenlong, "I never knew you wore jewelry."

The Chinese boy didn't respond, he just sighed and looked at the dragon charm.

Trowa excused himself from the table and went go check on his blond koibito. He opened the door slowly and scanned the room, "Quatre.. ." he whispered.

When he didn't get an answer he walked in and patrolled the room. He looked at the floor and saw broken glass scattered everywhere. His green eyes widened and he immediately ran down the stairs and back into the kitchen.

"Trowa?" Heero questioned.

"Quatre's gone.. ."

'His uncle has finally come for him. It's time for us to take part in his little game.. .' Duo thought as he stood up, "I'm calling Ryuuzaki." The longhaired boy thought about what had just come out of his mouth, "Oops.. ."

"You know Ryuuzaki Koushiro?" Heero questioned with that 'I will kill you' glare on his face.

"Yeah. I went to see her this afternoon.. ."

WuFei's eyes started to quiver, "Than you know.. .?"

"Yeah, but it's that bad WuFei."

"Not that bad?! Maxwell, I am the only person that can turn into a dragon. I am nothing but a freak and you say it's not that bad?!"

"WuFei, you're not the only one. Ryuuzaki can turn into a dragon too. That's why she knew so much about the subject." He sighed, "I knew that was dragon's blood on the floor, so did Quatre."

"How'd you know it was dragon's blood and how did Quatre know?" the pilot of Heavyarms asked.

"Dragon's blood is a darker shade of crimson than that of a normal human. As for your question about Quatre, I think Ryuuzaki should answer that." He looked at the Japanese pilot, "How'd you find out he was a dragon?"

"We went on a mission and got caught. We were being held in a cell when one of the guards came in. The soldier began to beat me until WuFei or I told him what we were after. Now that we know how he transformed; there was a window in the cell and it was dark outside. The moon and stars formed the formation, 'raven's eye' and he became that dragon."

"Was I the only one not aware of this?" Trowa asked in a confused manner.

Duo walked over to the tall boy and put his hand on his shoulder, "Yeah, but look at the bright side Trowa, you know it now and you didn't get amnesia to find out."

"Grr.. ." he glared at the Deathscythe pilot, "We have to get Quatre back."

"I know. I think the only one that could help us is Ryuuzaki." Heero looked at his fellow comrades.

Seeing that there were no objections they ran out of the house and drove off to go to retrieve the young author's assistance in rescuing their blond comrade.

It took an hour of driving, but they managed to get to their destination. The four boys walked up to the door and rang the bell.

The door opened and the girl gasped in surprise to see that they had come for her help. She led them into the living room.

"So he's finally come.. ." she looked at Duo, "How much do they know?"

"Not much. All they know is that Wu can turn into a dragon and so can you. I told them how I knew WuFei was a dragon and that's about it."

"Did you tell them about Quatre?"

The chestnut haired pilot shook his head, "I thought it would be better if you'd told them."

"Very well." She looked at the other three boys, "Quatre knew about the blood because he witnessed the annihilation of our clan. His uncle thought us dragons were too strong and had no right to exist. He brought Quatre to L5 when he was about four years old and made him watch every last kill.. . I remained hidden until he left. I walked out of my hiding place and wondered through endless puddles of blood. I couldn't find any survivors, so I made my way to earth out of fear that I would be killed if I were to stay on the colony any longer."

"How do you know Duo?" Heero asked.

"Strange as it may sound he came to me in a dream. Not as him, but as the God of Death. He too thought no one else had survived. Being the last of my race, he made me the Lord of Dragons. After a long while I learned that one person other than myself had survived. I began to ponder and then I realized that Shinigami couldn't control the deaths of the dragons. So know we have to free the spirits of those who have fallen. When Shinigami came to me in my dream he told me that he could kill that man for what he's done, but I told him to keep him alive so I could get my revenge. And now that time has come.. ."

Duo nodded in agreement, "This will be one tough fight considering he is holding Quatre captive. But no matter which way I look at it it's going to be fun." He grinned.

The blue eyed girl glanced at WuFei, "Both of us will have to ascend to our dragons. Are you ready?"

"I can't.. . I can finally be normal. I don't want to lose that."

"I understand, are the rest of you ready?"

Everyone else nodded and she walked into the center of the room.

Duo looked at his Japanese lover, "This battle will be very hard on Wu. He trusts you more than any of us, so please take care of him Heero.. ."

"I thought you told me to stay away from him."

"I was just jealous. I'm sorry, but the last thing I want is to lose a friend and worst of all to lose you as my lover, but most importantly my best friend." (***** [sings] Sap, Sap, Sap, .. . Sappy! 1x2 sap. Is there anything better. This is what I get for eating ice cream sandwich ice cream before writing.. . [snaps her fingers and turns into a dentist] Anyone need a dentist? ^_^*****)

Heero smiled and nodded. Then his expression went back to its normal void of emotion and he turned his attention to Ryuuzaki.

"I will open the portal to the other realm. The only reason he is there is because that is the only place you can contain the spirits of the fallen dragons. And the only way to control them is with a pure and kind heart. Your friend is the perfect candidate. If his uncle succeeds in what he plans to do this world will be nothing but an orb of crimson." She looked at the Chinese pilot, "I know you're afraid of what you are, but you're not alone. I won't leave you, I promise."

"How can he or any of us for that matter trust you?" Trowa asked as he tapped his foot impatiently.

"Dragons are good to their word. Like Shinigami, 'we run, we hide, but we never lie'. We dragons do have a sense to fight when it's necessary. Revenge is something that we find within our hearts. That's why I've waited to do this, but believe me WuFei, I won't leave you.. ." she clenched her left hand into a fist and had the orb facing the middle of the room, "Dragon's light, open the gate."

A small light flashed from the lavender orb and a purple blackish mist appeared before them.

"Lets go.. ." she walked into the mist and after a few minutes of hesitation the others followed.

Once in the other realm, everyone took a look at their surroundings. Faint screams could be heard not to far from their current location.

Ryuuzaki looked at the rest of her party members, "Do you guys have any weapons?"

There was a round of nods. Heero and Trowa took out their guns, Duo took out his thermal scythe and WuFei took out his katana.

Heero arched an eyebrow. Seeing that the dragon lord was not armed, "What about you?"

"I've got it covered." She put her hand over the orb and then to daggers appeared in her hands. (*****I barely finished Magic Knight Rayearth2. It only seemed appropriate to do it that way. Hm.. . we now return you to your regularly scheduled fic already in progress.. .*****)

The four boys stared in amazement for a few seconds before they made their way through the pitch, black area of the realm.

There was some light coming and the party came to three different paths. One path leading straight, another heading left and the other heading right.

"Which way do we go?" Heero asked.

"We'll split up. Heero and Duo take the left. Trowa, take the right. WuFei and I will go straight."

They nodded and went down their respective directions. WuFei looked at the girl as they walked, "Why'd you send Barton by himself?"

"Because Heero and Duo need to rebuild some trust. And I promised you that I wouldn't leave you alone. Besides, we need to find Quatre at any cost. Splitting up was the only way, although now it's a little too quiet.. ."

~~~

Duo and Heero walked side by side as they looked at their surroundings. They stopped in their tracks. The longhaired pilot looked at his koibito, "Something doesn't feel right.. ."

A strange black fog gathered around the two boys and in a matter of seconds they were separated.

Heero looked around himself and then saw the same fog that had surrounded them. The mist had taken on a shape of someone.

"HHHHHHHHHHEEEEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRROOOOOOOOO!!!!!!" The

Japanese pilot put his hands over his ears, "Ugh.. . if that damn mist knew anything, it would have known Relena was the last person I wanted to see.. ." he slowly moved his left hand away from his ear and fired his gun at the mist formed Relena.

The fog disappeared and he realized that he was in the same place. He could hear Duo about to burst into tears and he could also hear three other voices. Gun still in hand he ran forwards a little ways and saw his koibito face to face with three other people.

The longhaired boy fell to his knees, "Father Maxwell, Sister Helen, Solo, how could you say all those things? I never wanted you to end up the way you did.. ."

No sooner had that happened the figures were gone. Duo looked behind him to see Heero walking towards him, "You okay?"

"Hn. Let's go on ahead before anything else happens."

Duo nodded and he and Heero ran to the end of their tunnel.

~~~

Trowa walked silently down his path, then he stopped and looked at the figure before him, "Cathy?"

"Trowa, how could you?"

"How could I what?"

"How could you fall in love with that blond Gundam pilot?"

"Quatre?"

"Yeah him. How could you? Seeing you with that boy makes me sick."

The Latin pilot of Heavyarms aimed his gun at the female figure, "You're not my sister. My sister has been very supportive of my relationship with Quatre. Whatever makes me happy she's happy for me." he fired his gun and the figure disappeared. He ran to the end of the path with his gun still in hand.

~~~

"WuFei?" Ryuuzaki looked around and saw the fog before her. It was trying to take shape, but it couldn't turn into anything, "It has no idea what to turn into.. . in that case." She threw one of her daggers into the mist and then the area turned back to normal.

She took her dagger out of the wall and ran towards WuFei. On the way there she could hear the voices of the other pilots.

"If it wasn't for your race Quatre wouldn't have been kidnapped."

"Yeah and if it wasn't for you Duo wouldn't have gotten so jealous."

"I my not be able to control the deaths of your clan, but I can sure rid this world of you!"

The Chinese pilot backed up against the wall, "It's not my fault.. . I can't help it.. ."

Ryuuzaki threw her two daggers and destroyed two of the figures, "WuFei listen to me. They're just illusions! Hit the last one with your sword!"

The black haired boy nodded and slashed his sword through the last image. He looked at the dragon lord, "How'd you know they weren't real?"

"They're your friends. They wouldn't say stuff like that to you. Besides they didn't come this way. The dragon spirits are testing us, to make sure we are worthy of helping them." She pried her daggers out of the wall, "Let's go!"

They ran to the end of their path and were reunited with the other pilots. The area they were in were different shades of green.

They looked around and on a high platform stood Quatre and his uncle. The party climbed the ledge slowly and once at the top, they were about to face the worst enemy possible.

The blond pilot of Sandrock looked at his uncle and then looked at his friends, "Trowa!" he tried to move, but couldn't due to the restraints.

"You are too late you pathetic little dragon. My nephew's life force is almost gone and once he's gone I will cover the earth in blood. Then everyone will know that I will be the supreme ruler!"

"No you won't. I will see to it that you'll die for what sins you've committed! I run, I hide, but I never lie, I am Shinigami!"

Quatre's uncle smirked, "Get rid of them!" he held out his hand and summoned different kinds of creatures. (*****I don't exactly know what he summoned, but I would think of random creatures you would fight in Lunar SSSC, Xenogears, FFVI, FFVII and FFVIII. Stuff like that. [sighs] Well it's up to you what they're fighting.. .*****)

The four G-boys and Ryuuzaki started to fight the creatures. The more they moved the faster the enemies got.

Quatre's uncle walked towards a control panel, "Soon Quatre you'll be with your mother and father.. ."

"Not so fast!" Duo ran over to the man and stopped a few feet behind him, "You won't get away!" he held out his scythe as black bat wings sprouted from his back.

The man stared in amazement, "Who.. . who are you?"

"I told you, I am Shinigami."

Ryuuzaki stepped forward and stood next to the longhaired boy, "Ascension!" two black dragon wings sprouted from her back and a black tail appeared as well.

"Heero," Duo looked over his shoulder, "protect WuFei. Trowa stay away.. ."

The creatures that Quatre's uncle had summoned had begun to swarm around them once again. A miniature gargoyle was heading for the blond pilot. Heero aimed his gun and fired, but the bullet missed its target and hit Quatre in the right shoulder. The Japanese boy dropped his gun, "What have I done.. .?"

The creatures became more lethal. Ryuuzaki looked at Quatre's uncle and saw that he was once again was headed the control panel.

"No you don't!" she held her daggers tightly as she glided through the battlefield. She was just about to slash the man in the back of the neck when he turned around.

He grabbed the dragon charm in between his fingers and crushed it.

The young author gasped as she fell backwards and slammed onto the ground.

"RYUUZAKI!!!!!!" Duo ran over to the fallen dragon and picked up her upper body, "You can't die. You've waited so long for this. You just can't let him win!"

"Gee, how the mighty have fallen.. ." he turned around and headed back towards the control panel.

Trowa made it through the batch of monsters and stood before his beloved angel, "Are you okay?"

"Trowa.. . help me.. ."

The Heavyarms pilot tried to free Quatre from his shackles, but failed. However seeing that the blond was injured he decided to stay by his side.

WuFei looked at the dragon lord's body. His eyes started to fill with tears, "You promised.. . you said our clan were good to our word." The tears streamed down his face and then he turned his gaze to Quatre's uncle, "You.. . you're the one responsible for making her break her promise." He walked over to the girl's body and took the daggers in his hands.

His onyx eyes were filled with pain and sorrow, "Ascension.. ." the black wings sprouted from his back and the tail appeared.

Quatre's uncle backed away slowly, "What do you think a worthless dragon like you can do?"

"Heero," he looked over his shoulder, "help Trowa free Quatre from his restraints. Duo, take Ryuuzaki's body back to our realm."

"WuFei.. . I wish I could control the death of your people." The longhaired pilot picked up the body, "I'm sorry.. ." he ran off.

"Get rid of him!" the man held out his right hand and the creatures that he had summoned before had surrounded the Chinese pilot.

"You will pay for what you've done.. ." he channeled all of his power, "I call upon the spirit of our elder dragon.. ."

Quatre's uncle (*****Man I suck with names.. .*****) laughed, "You can't call on any of your kind.. ."

"Kaiser.. ." he glared at the creatures around him, "Breath!"

A large dragon spirit appeared over head and let out an explosive breath and annihilated the creatures.

The pilot of Shenlong took a few more steps forward, "I will take Ryuuzaki's revenge, by killing you with her daggers!"

Trowa and Heero had managed to pry the shackles off the Sandrock pilot. The three of them kept a close eye on the sight before them.

Heero tore off a piece of his tank top and put it over Quatre's wound, "I'm sorry I hit you."

"It's okay.. ." he managed a small smile.

WuFei lunged forward and slashed the man's neck, chest and face. And on the last blow he jammed one of the daggers right through the man's heart.

The Chinese pilot let the body fall and he approached the control panel. He pressed one of the buttons and saw faint spirits flow through the area, "You're free.. ."

The other three pilots walked over to WuFei and saw that he didn't have his wings or his tail anymore. They exchanged brief glances before turning around and heading back to the gate.

~~~

After a few moments they were back in their world. Heero looked at his longhaired koibito, "Let's get Quatre to a doctor and go home."

"I'll meet you at the hospital. I just want to give myself a moment of silence to remember Ryuuzaki."

They all nodded and walked out the door. Duo turned and walked into the author's bedroom, "You could have come out and told them you were alive."

"You could have told them."

"What's the fun in that? Besides, I'm sure WuFei would have liked to see you." He scratched his head, "Now that I think about it, how did you survive?"

"You? Think? That's a good one. But as an answer to your question, my dragon gene was reconstructed and was put back into the charm. I think once WuFei freed the spirits; they decided to give me some of their life force and brought me back so I could keep my promise to him."

"But the dead do not hold any sort of life force."

"That's where you're wrong Shinigami. They're spirits, if you can see those who have passed they have some kind of life energy left."

"Hm.. . Well you'd know better than me. Hey could you take me to the hospital?"

"Sure." She walked towards the bedroom door and then stopped, "What's wrong?"

"Aren't you going to change out of your dragon form?"

She giggled, "I can't. It would be rude if I did so. My people have been kind enough to give me another chance at life. And I'm not about to deny who and what I am. Now come on."

A few hours later.. .

Duo had arrived at the hospital and was visiting Quatre, who had to stay in there for awhile.

Heero looked at the pilot of Deathscythe, "You okay?"

He nodded and looked at his blond friend, who had just fallen asleep in Trowa's arms.

WuFei was sitting outside under a tree. He sighed as he looked at the two daggers in his hand, "You won.. ."

Up on one of the branches of the tree stood the young dragon lord. She looked at the Chinese pilot on the ground, 'I'll watch over WuFei. You must learn that you are not alone, you never have been. Not with friends like that. I'll continue to watch over you and then maybe some day, I'll return to you. Some day.. .'

The End

Quatre-Chan: "This fic was inspired by the Breath of Fire series. Which I do not own."

Heero: "Right. She doesn't own anything except the character; Ryuuzaki Koushiro."

Duo: "Quatre-Chan, you only wrote that as an excuse just so you could see Wu without his clothes on."

Quatre-Chan: "I don't need to write a story to see someone nude." *holds out her hand*

*POOF*

Heero: *covers himself to the best of his ability* "Quatre-Chan!"

Quatre-Chan: "Sorry.. . I was aiming for Duo.. ." *cries*

Trowa: "Quatre-Chan?"

WuFei: *picks her up* "It's okay. Yuy's not mad. He knows what happened to you not long ago."

Quatre: "What happened?"

WuFei: "She saw the end of Magic Knight Rayearth and one of her favorite characters died."

Heero: "That's right." *goes into hammerspace and gets an extra pair of clothes and puts them on*

Duo: "Who died?"

Heero: *whispers*

Duo: "Nnnnnoooooooo!!!!!!!!" *cries*

Heero: *sighs*

Trowa: "Well this is a very unusual ending. But you can still send her feedback by sending her email at quatre_chan5@hotmail.com ."

Quatre: "And don't watch the end of Rayearth2 if you're going to act like that." *points to Quatre-Chan and Duo* "Well anyway, we'll see ya next time and hopefully she'll forget about the ending of Rayearth."

Quatre-Chan: "Not bloody likely!!!!!!! *wails*
