Shinigami's Secret Part 6

Odin cursed his luck. Who would have thought one fifteen-year-old would be so much trouble to guard? Out of necessity Duo had hired him to watch over Heero when Duo couldn't be there. He was very concerned with Heero getting hurt. These past three years, since Duo had first hired him, it had been mostly easy. But today... Heero was suppose to stay in and he was planning on another uneventful day spent cleaning his guns when Heero had rushed out of the apartment like a bat out of hell. He had barely had a chance to grab his coat and catch up.

As Heero wandered into progressively worse neighbourhoods, Odin could only sigh. It wasn't even sundown and he already had to forcibly suggest to seven individuals that they seek their entertainment elsewhere. He couldn't blame them. Not really even crying, Heero was so fragilely beautiful.

~ "Ne Duo? Will you be here forever?"

"Of course Hee-chan! I'll never leave you alone! Promise" ~

~ "Duo, I love you! You're my hero!"

"Heh he heh, I love you too chibi munchkin!" ~

~ "Duo can I sleep with you tonight? I never have nightmares in your bed."

"I don't... fine here get under the covers and I'll try my new song on you!" ~

It's funny. Heero hadn't even been paying attention to where he was going. Just losing himself in the crowded streets of Tokyo all too easily. He didn't seem to notice the afternoon fade to the false brightness of neon as night descended. The crowd changed and he clutched his jacket closer as the air cooled. Finally stopping he looked up at an all too familiar street. Funny in his wanderings he hadn't even noticed. He had drifted from the expensively cool part of town where they had their apartment to the dangerous streets he remembered all too well. He was tired from walking, he couldn't even remember if he had lunch and he realized his wallet wasn't in his pocket.

This was not a good situation to be in. Seeing a bar, he headed in, knowing it wasn't safe to be on the streets. The woman behind the counter was a face he never though he would see again.

"Tamika?" came the hesitant question.

She turned dark eyes to him and came out from behind the counter, her gaze devouring him before she pulled him in to a big hug.

"Hee-kun! I never thought we see you again! The girls and I kept an eye out on the streets for you. Truthfully we never thought your mom would actually do it." Pulling his stunned body past the bar into the backroom where couples were in various states of undress she announced, "Look who I found!"

He was instantly recognized and smothered under the hugs and squeals of his 'aunts'. Customers were sent away and Une the madam of the house gave him a huge bowl of soup, as everyone waited to hear his story.

Duo paced back and forth as Quatre tried to calm him down. His and Heero's cat Wing followed them with each step. Wufei and Trowa came in and shook their head defeated. It was four in the morning, and Heero was still gone. He never left the house on his own; He was usually in bed by ten, where could he be?

The phone buzzed and Quatre picked it up while Duo clutched Heero's journal in his hands tighter, watching the blonde murmur and nod then hang up.

"That was the door man, he said there was an 'odd' person looking for Duo and it wasn't a fan. I told him to send her up." Moments later someone knocked on the door. Trowa opened it to reveal a girl with long blonde hair, thigh high red patent boots and a matching miniskirt with slits up to her waist. The red mesh vest revealed her black bra and as they stared she popped her gum.

"If you're done checkin' the goods which one of ya is Duo?" Her voice revealed she was far younger then she looked.

"I am, who are you and why are you looking for me?"

"Oh Hi I'm Aku-chan, Lady Une sent me to tell you we got Heero at the shop. He fell asleep a little while ago and she thought you might be worried."

"Damn right! Take me to him now."

"Sorry, no can do! I'll bring him back if he wants to come home. Otherwise, you did a lot of good for him, and you also hurt him more then that bitch that raised him ever could. In the end, it's up to him if he wants to return, some things can be worse then working. Ya know?" On that note she left leaving a stunned group of boys behind.

As her girls started to head back to their posts to look for new customers, Une closed the door and sat across from Heero.

"Did your mother ever tell you why she was leaving without you Heero?"

Where I use to have a heart by Martina Mcbride

Where I used to have a heart
Feels like a mile wide ditch
I got a hole inside
The doctor just can't stitch
Gone without a trace
You left a hollow place
There's not a stone to mark
Where I used to have a heart

There were times when I would hold you
And feel the pounding in my chest
Now I'm just as empty
As a canyon way out west
That's how deep I loved you
And babe, I love you still
To the bottom of this place I'll never fill

Where I used to have a heart
Feels like a mile wide ditch
I got a hole inside
The doctor just can't stitch
Gone without a trace
You left a hollow place
There's not a stone to mark
Where I used to have a heart

I guess I'll learn to live with
A different kind of pain
I'm suffering from a sickness
That I cannot give a name
Such a strange sensation
I've never felt before
Missing you has cut me to the core

Where I used to have a heart
Feels like a mile wide ditch
I got a hole inside
The doctor just can't stitch
Gone without a trace
You left a hollow place
There's not a stone to mark
Where I used to have a heart

Where I used to have a heart

TBC...

Well do you want more???
