Slave to Love Part 16
Saviour

"I've come back to take what is rightfully mine." Heero declared his eyes flickering to where Duo was frozen in shock.

"Heero." Duo mouthed the word as he met Heero's eyes, feelings of relief filled him and he wanted nothing more than to throw himself in the arms of his beloved.

"I don't think so." Dekim smirked. "Kill him!"

Both Relena and Duo stood up the same words falling from their lips. "No."

The guards, once loyal to Heero, paused. Dekim was glaring at them ordering them to kill their Prince while the Queen was telling them no.

"KILL HIM!" Dekim yelled and the head guard rose his sword nodding to his men and they shoved Heero onto all fours, head bowed.

Relena let out a muffled cry as the sword glittered in the candle light before swing down.

"STOP!!!"

The guard paused, the sword barely a millimetre from Heero's neck.

Dekim spun round and advanced on Duo. "How dare you speak out slave!" Dekim's hand slapped Duo's face and everyone watched as Duo fell to his knees on the floor in front of Dekim.

"My Lord, My Master." Duo started. "It would be better for you if Prince Heero was kept alive."

Dekim grabbed Duo's hair and tugged him to his feet non-too gently.

"Why?"

"The Kingdom already hates you Master and the peasants will up rise soon, even sooner if you kill their Prince." The truth fell from Duo's lips and as Dekim heard it he knew it to be true. He let Duo drop back to the floor and turned to face the kneeing boy. His lips curled and he walked forward his foot kicked Heero's head up.

Hard prussian glared at him, hatred coursed through Heero's body at the way Duo was being treated by this man.

"You need him Master, to keep the people happy." Duo whispered standing again and walking to where Dekim stood.

Dekim knelt down and run a finger down Heero's face and then curled his fist around Heero's neck.

Duo swallowed and placed a hand on Dekim's shoulder and pulled him away from Heero.

"You killed the king, you killed the queen and hatred of you spread around the kingdom like wildfire. Now my Lord is the chance to win back the heart of your people. Show them that their Prince lives and swear you'll let him live and they will love you. King Dekim the Merciful."

Duo's violet eyes fixed on Dekim's and at first he thought Dekim would hit him again but instead Dekim did something much worst. He kissed him.

Heero watched this, his anger growing as Dekim assaulted Duo's mouth.

"Very well. Throw the Prince in the dungeons."

*   *   *

He wore a black cloak as he slipped from Dekim's bedchambers. It covered his face, and to someone that saw him, he was just a blacked masked stranger, which if he was seen would most likely get him killed. His movements were gracefully and he moved without a sound towards the dungeons.

*   *   *

Heero tugged at the solid chains that held him. He swore under his breath and continued to try and break free but the chains dug into his waist and blood dripped from them.

The sound of his door opening made him look up and a man stood there dressed completely in black.

"Who are you?" Heero asked and two gloved hands shut the door and the man turned to face Heero. His hands lowered the hood and two violet eyes shone at Heero.

"Duo."

The braided boy smiled. "I can't stay long. If either Dekim or Relena wakes I'll be found out."

"I've missed you so much Duo."

Duo hurried forward and pulled a cloth out of his pocket and cleaned the blood from Heero's arms. As soon as they were clear he pulled a lock pick from his hair and unlocked the chains.

With his arms now free Heero wrapped them around Duo and held his love close. "I never meant to leave you here. I tried to come and take you away but I found you asleep in Dekim's arms and I thought I had lost you."

Duo let out a dry sob and cling to Heero. "I thought you were dead."

Heero placed a light kiss to Duo's forehead. "I'm so sorry my love. I'm not leaving you again."

Duo raised his head and shaking he placed his lips against Heero's. "I love you." He whispered.

"I love you too, Saviour."

"Saviour?"

"You saved me Duo. Tonight and all those months ago when I nearly died. The only reason I kept living was so I could keep my promise to you."

"Come back to me in one piece." Duo breathed the same words he had spoken to Heero all them months ago when Dekim had attacked.

"And now my people know I'm alive and we can fight Dekim."

"Stay tonight Heero and I'll gather everyone tomorrow during Dekim's little speech and we'll leave in the evening."

Heero kissed Duo again, his tongue asking for entrance, which Duo gave willingly.

"I would give my life to undo all that pain that has fallen on you." Heero told Duo, their foreheads touching.

"I know."

"We leave tomorrow at dusk. I'll wait for you."

They kissed again and Duo replaced his hood and hurried from the cell.

Heero turned to look out the window at the midnight sky.

The world suddenly seemed so much brighter now that Duo was back in his life.

*   *   *

News spread quickly around the kingdom that Heero lived and people travelled miles to see their Prince.

While Dekim showed Heero off like a new toy. Duo, Relena, Dorothy, Quatre, Trowa, Wufei and Sally sat down to plan their escape plan.

"I'll go to Heero again tonight and free him then I'll pay each of you a visit. Be ready at midnight!"

Everyone nodded and Duo crossed his fingers. He hoped this would work.
