Shinigami's Song Epilogue
{How many times have I tried
To wake myself as if dreaming
How many nights have I cried
To wake myself Only by screaming}
Duo began to sing his newest song for the crowd of adoring fans. They really seemed to love this long slow song.
{ But now you're here It's ok
You take all the darkness away
From my heart from my soul
I've given up all my control}
He smiled at the chorus. This had to be why it was so damn popular. It was happy.
{ So I hug you tight To my body
through out the nighttime
I cling to you Knowing your love
Is now my life line}
There is only so much a person can listen to a sad song. But there is always a demand for love songs. And this one débuted at number one. Duo Maxwell's first 'happy' song was an amazing success.
{ But now you're here It's ok
You take all the darkness away
From my heart from my soul
I've given up all my control}
Duo looked off into the area backstage where his new manager watched every move of his performance.
{ Take the hurt
Leave it in the past
The test is over
And we have passed
What sought to rend
Helped to mend
And now the nightmares at an end}
Bright cobalt blue eyes met his violet ones, and he just had to wink. He meant every single word, and Heero knew it.
{ But now you're here
It's ok
You take all the darkness away
From my heart from my soul
I've given up all my control
There is no more fear
I know you are here
Take my hand
You have my heart
It's time for a brand new start.}
Things were perfect... or they would be made that way tomorrow. Tomorrow is all Duo could think about. He sang his life for the people out in the crowd, and reveled in the love that they returned.

{Take the hurt
Leave it in the past
The test is over
And we have passed
What sought to rend
Helped to mend
And now the nightmares at an end}
Heero watched from backstage. He drank in the beauty that was Duo. Tonight his koi wore a skin tight pair of black leather pants, and a completely see through shirt. In fact, Duo's nipple ring could clearly be seen from the audience.
{It's at an end...}
Heero snickered as he imagined what the little teeny bopper magazines would write about Duo's 'New look'. ~Hn. Nothing nearly as interesting as what the papers will write about him after tomorrow.~
Heero waited patiently for Duo to finish this final song. The minute Duo took his final bows and swept off stage Heero wrapped his koi up in a tight embrace.
"How'd I do?"
He suppressed a smile. "Beautifully." When Duo smiled, Heero felt his heart skip, just like it always did. "Let's go."
Duo grabbed his hand and didn't let go until they reached the plane.
~*~
A collective gasp came from the crows as Duo stepped out into the clearing. He looked extremely handsome in his perfect black tuxedo with blood red dress shirt and black tie holding a bouquet of calla lilies. He stood in an archway made of white roses and calla lilies. [1] The lilies had been suggested by Quatre when Duo almost had a fit that he couldn't have black roses. Luckily Duo loved the idea.
He slowly walked forward and smiled at everyone in the crowd. Hilde waved happily and dabbed at her eyed with a tissue. Beside her Wufei looked happy to be there, but unhappy to be sitting next to two 'emotional onnas'. Sally had elbowed him sharply in the ribs for that comment at all the rehearsals.
Duo got so caught in the moment of looking at his friends that he slowed down noticeably. "Get moving!" Relena whispered quickly.
He smiled at her and continued down the aisle. It was really no contest, she just had to be his maid of honor after all the things she had done for him. The tears in her eyes when he'd asked her were priceless.
Quatre and Trowa stood up in front of the altar looking stunning in their matching gray suits. Quatre's dress shirt was a light blue, and Trowa's was a dark emerald green. Never let it be said that Duo and his friends couldn't color coordinate well. They stood there next to Heero, proud to be his best men.
Heero. He stood silently watching everything in his pure white tuxedo. His dress shirt was also white, the only color was in his tie and cummerbund, which were such a light gray they looked silver.
He looked absolutely handsome. But the most amazing thing about him was the fact he was smiling. Not just his usual smirk, but a complete 'I'm actually happy' smile!
Duo hurried down the aisle to his koi.
~*~
Heero couldn't keep the smile from his face, so he decided to just give up. He watched Duo slowly walk down the aisle with the most amazing look on his face, it was a cross between shock and rapture.
Finally Duo reached his side and then took each other's hands. Heero gave Duo's hand a small squeeze before they turned to the priest.
"Dearly beloved, we are gathered here today to join these two in matrimony..."
It was such a lovely ceremony brimming with such emotion, no one paid the buzz of the helicopters any mind.
~*~
"This is Kiki with channel 10's eye in the sky! We've been given a hint that pop sensation Duo Maxwell is getting married this very day in a private ceremony on his Montana property."
The cameras switched from the bubbly reporter down into the field that seemed to hold an amazing amount of white flowers along with a small group of people.
"Let's see if we can zoom in any further shall we?"
The people in the chairs are the first to come into focus, a stern looking Asian man is in between two crying women, one with honey blonde braids, the other with dark purple hair. He is looking highly amused.
"No! We want the couple!"
The cameras now zooms in on a pair of men in gray suits who are standing at the front alter. They're holding hands while silently watching the proceedings. The blonde is smiling happily.
"Well, they're a couple, but not the one we want!"
This time the camera zooms in on the blissfully smiling face of Duo Maxwell.
"Yes! There is the happy groom! Now let's see the bride!"
The cameras switch to the face of another man, Asian with surprisingly blue eyes.
"Wait! That is the Gundam Pilot Heero Yuy! Folks below us sit the entire team of Gundam Pilots! Wait a minute... Heero..."
The camera pans with Heero when he moves and he kisses Duo. The couple stay locked together in a passionate kiss for what seemed like forever before they broke apart. The camera zoomed in more still to see the tears in Duo's eyes as he looked up into Heero's face.
"I think we've just solved the mystery of Duo Maxwell's music. Meet Shinigami's hero."
OWARI
[1] Calla lilies represent death. Even at his wedding Duo won't shake his nickname ^_~
